Chapter 606

The cold has worsened. I’m feeling weak all over, and my daughter has also caught a cold. So depressed.

Under the swamp, it is dark and there is no sunlight, without the slightest bit of light.

Yang Kai followed Shui Ling all the way down. With the air bubble created by Shui Ling wrapped around him, Yang Kai didn’t feel stuffy, and his breathing was also very smooth.

With the spiritual sense spread out, everything around was clear at a glance.

Falling continuously, it seems that what the young woman said is true. This swamp is indeed several thousand zhang deep at the bottom.

Only someone like Shui Ling who has the Water Spirit Body can move freely here. For others, even if they are proficient in water attribute power, they are probably bound and unable to display their strength here.

As they descended, Yang Kai gradually felt a hint of coolness, which became stronger and colder.

After a long time, Shui Ling couldn’t take it anymore and her teeth chattered slightly. Yang Kai quickly released his true essence, and immediately a rather suitable temperature was generated inside the water bubble, dispelling all the coldness.

Bringing you down is indeed the right choice.” Shui Ling giggled. Yang Kai’s control over his own power has reached the point of perfection. Just now, if she had brought that man from the Du Ao League who recommended himself, Shui Ling even suspected that the fire attribute power released by that person would conflict with her water bubble.”

Yang Kai is different. He can dispel the coldness without damaging the water bubble he created.

A hint of light gradually came from below. Looking around, it seemed that there were clusters of glowing whiteflames.

However, it was quite far away, and there was also a thick layer of ice blocking in the middle, making it difficult for Yang Kai to see clearly.

“Those things that are like beating flames are the Ice Flame Star Sands. The Crimson Blood True Orchid is right inside those star sands.” Shui Ling explained. “The ice layer down here is about several dozen zhang thick. Can you break it open quietly？”

Yang Kai nodded slightly： “I’ll give it a try.”

As he spoke, he jumped out of the water bubble.

Suddenly, a sense of weight like a mountain pressing down came over him, and Yang Kai couldn’t help but stiffen all over. All his bones creaked.

Without the protection of Shui Ling’s water bubble, the water pressure from all directions was exerted on Yang Kai.

“If it really doesn’t work, don’t force it.” Shui Ling reminded.

Yang Kai responded and waited for a long time. After his body got used to this huge water pressure, he finally started to act.

A burst of scorching True Yang Yuan Qi burst out from his palm, like an invincible sharp blade, melting a big hole in the ice layer in front of him that could allow one person to pass through.

The True Yuan gushed out violently, and Yang Kai’s movements were irresistible. This ordinary ice layer simply couldn’t resist the burning of the True Yang Yuan Qi.

Shui Ling wrapped in the bubble and quickly dived down behind Yang Kai.

The several dozen zhang thick ice layer was broken through by Yang Kai in just the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

The two of them quickly arrived in front of those groups of jumping and burning Ice Flame Star Sands.

“You collect the starsand, and I’ll deal with that Crimson Blood True Orchid!” Shui Ling was very excited. After giving the instruction, she pounced towards that Crimson Blood True Orchid.

In the water flow below, some mysterious powers were quickly generated, binding the surrounding space and imprisoning the Crimson Blood True Orchid within a small area.

Yang Kai took a look. He didn’t pay much attention either and just put those things that were jumping like flames into the Black Book Space.

These things that were jumping and burning like flames, their bodies were actually just grains of starsand but they didn’t look like ordinary sand. They were very beautiful. When touched, they were ice-cold and full of spiritual energy.

Yang Kai also knew that he had picked up a treasure.

Having such a fortuitous encounter just after coming to the Tongxuan Continent was also considered a good omen.

The number of starsand was not large, only about a hundred grains. When Yang Kai finished collecting the starsand Shui Ling also happily rushed over from not far away. She was holding a spiritual object of heaven and earth with seven leaves in her hand and waved at Yang Kai.

She could control the power of water flow. Underwater, the Crimson Blood True Orchid simply couldn’t escape from her palm.

Yang Kai smiled slightly and flashed into her water bubble.

“Let’s go up. That group of people should be extremely anxious.” Shui Ling pursed her lips and smiled, somewhat guessing the thoughts of the people from the Solo Pride Alliance.

Above the swamp, a group of people from the Solo Pride Alliance all had ugly expressions and were quietly waiting.

The bearded man suddenly cursed again and said, “It’s almost been an hour and those two haven’t come up yet. They must have run away.”

“Don’t let me see them again. If I do, I’ll tear them into pieces！”

The young woman scolded loudly, “Don’t talk nonsense. That girl should indeed be a disciple of the Water Temple, and her status is not low.”

“How do you know, miss？”

“She has the cultivation base of the peak of the Divine Wanderer Realm. At such a young age, with such cultivation, doesn’t she have some status in the Water Temple? A person with such status should not lie to us…” As she spoke, the young woman’s voice also became low, as if comforting and relieving herself trying to make herself trust Shui Ling.

“Even if she has status, so what? The Crimson Blood True Orchid and the Ice Flame Star Sand are both extraordinary treasures. There is no guarantee that they won’t be tempted by profit.

“If that’s really the case, then we can only admit defeat!” The young woman sighed and said, “Blame only that we don’t have the ability to take these two things for ourselves.”

“Ai！” A sigh sounded.

In this world, those with the ability get good things, and those without the ability can only watch and be envious. Such a situation is common. Often some treasures are discovered and then obtained by the strong. Those weak can only talk about it and be jealous when they see it.

“Eh, there’s movement！” As he spoke, the bearded man exclaimed in surprise and looked at the swamp below with burning eyes.

From beneath it, there came forth some fluctuations of energy, rapidly rising up.

Everyone in the Duao League immediately perked up, and the young woman couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

Moments later, a water bubble emerged, enclosing Yang Kai and Shui Ling within.

After flashing and landing on the ground, Shui Ling said to the young woman, “You should have brought the special container for holding Heaven and Earth spiritual treasures, right？”

“Yes, yes！” The young woman nodded hurriedly, opened a small pouch at her waist, and took out a jade basin carved from white jade, with numerous array patterns engraved all over it.

Yang Kai secretly observed and found that the young woman was actually using a Qiankun Pouch.

Shui Ling nodded slightly. “Well prepared.”

As she spoke, she handed over the Scarlet Blood True Orchid.

The young woman’s expression was strange. After a moment of hesitation, she still reached out and took it with a happy expression, saying, “Thank you！”

Her attitude was sincere, without the slightest hint of falsehood.

After placing the Scarlet Blood True Orchid in the jade basin, the young woman made a few hand seals, and the array on the jade basin quickly took effect, imprisoning this Heaven and Earth spiritual treasure within it.

“What about the Ice Flame Star Sand？” The bearded man looked around and couldn’t help but ask.

“Ji Hong！” The young woman’s face turned cold, and she shouted in a low voice.

“Hehe, I was just asking！” Ji Hong scratched his head in extreme embarrassment and smiled at Yang Kai again. “Brother, don’t mind. I’m just a curious person. It doesn’t matter if you don’t say. Anyway, I know it must have been obtained by you guys.”

Yang Kai smiled slightly and suddenly found that this big man was actually quite interesting. He said he was just asking casually, but in fact, he was trying to find out the whereabouts of the Ice Flame Star Sand in a roundabout way.

“That’s right, it has been obtained by us.” Yang Kai nodded.

“What good luck, brother. I’m so envious.” Ji Hong smacked his lips, not shy about his state of mind at all.

The young woman helplessly shook her head and looked at Shui Ling. “Girl, you have helped us so much this time. The Du Ao Alliance is extremely grateful. Well, according to the alliance’s rules, we can get a reward of twenty crystals each this time. As the team leader, I can get fifty. How about giving you 80% of all the rewards as a thank-you gift？”

There are a total of eight people. Seven people can get twenty crystals each, and the young woman gets fifty. The total number is 190 crystals. 80% is almost 152 crystals.

The young woman was so generous that her team members suddenly had distressed looks on their faces.

However, after thinking about it carefully, if it weren’t for Shui Ling and Yang Kai, they wouldn’t even get those 20%, and they might even be punished. So they felt much more balanced in their hearts immediately.

Shui Ling smiled and pointed at Yang Kai. “Give it to him. I don’t need these crystals.”

Yang Kai’s expression moved slightly, and he didn’t ask any more questions. Although he didn’t know exactly what the crystal stones were and what value they represented, judging from the expressions of these people, he realized that the crystal stones should still be good things.

“That’s fine.” The young woman smiled. “Also, if the two of you are willing to sell the Ice Flame Star Sand, we can also have a detailed discussion. Regarding the price, I guarantee that the two of you will be satisfied.”

“Giggle……” Shui Ling laughed. “The spiritually grade top-quality forging material, we don’t plan to sell it. We have our own uses for it.”

“Oh……” The young woman was slightly disappointed, but she didn’t force it. She just said, “Let’s not talk about this for now. The two of you should think about it more. If you figure it out, you can tell me at any time. It’s only a three-day journey from here to our Du Ao League’s headquarters, Du Ao City. Can the two of you go back with us so that we can give you a good reception？”

After this incident, the young woman no longer had any hostility. Instead, she had some intention of deliberately befriending them.

Shui Ling looked at Yang Kai, and Yang Kai nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay.

Only then did Shui Ling say, “Alright. Coincidentally, I want to find a place to rest.”

“Please！” As the young woman spoke, she deliberately or unintentionally looked at Yang Kai, as if she wanted to re-examine him.

Just now, the eye contact between Shui Ling and Yang Kai did not escape the young woman’s observation.

She was a littlefeel uncertain in her heart. Shui Ling seemed to be a person with a high status in the Shui Shen Palace, but why did she seem to follow this teenager’s lead in everything and always ask for his opinion?

What’s the background of this youngster? He’s actually so cared about by the high-ranking disciples of the Water God Temple.

The young woman was puzzled and couldn’t help but have some interest in Yang Kai.

All the way, the atmosphere was harmonious.

The young woman deliberately inquired about Yang Kai’s identity and naturally talked to him a bit, but Yang Kai’s answers were watertight, leaving her without a way to proceed.

Through the simple conversation, Yang Kai and Shui Ling also learned that the young woman was named Yun Xuan and was the captain of a small team under the Solo Pride League.

Those six or seven people were the members of this small team.

The Solo Pride League is a bit different from other forces. It is condensed in units of teams, mainly engaged in various materials and finished products for cultivation. These teams travel around all year round to find various business opportunities and materials for the Solo Pride League and bring profits. The Solo Pride League provides these warriors with a comfortable and safe cultivation environment.
