Chapter 6821 Sapphire Water Ice Crystal Beast

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Old Fang said, A month ago, the Zither Sects disciples arrived here and were led by an acquired Divine Sovereign. They were heading toward the Sapphire Water Pool to gather the Ice Frost Blood Crystals.

However, they ended up fighting the Sapphire Water Ice Crystal Beast at the bottom of the pool. The Divine Sovereign was injured, and two of their elite disciples perished. They quickly fled and didnt return. Based on our analysis, they should have obtained the Ice Frost Blood Crystals. But as for why they entered the depths and provoked the Sapphire Water Ice Crystal Beast, no one knows.

Zheng Wenlong was startled. He inquired, The Sapphire Water Ice Crystal Beast? The spiritual creature said to have the same lifespan as heaven and earth? Is it located nearby?

Long Chen was also surprised. The Sapphire Water Ice Crystal Beast wasn't a demonic beast but a spiritual creature, similar to Huo Linger and Lei Linger. It was a very rare ice-attribute spiritual beast. Until now, Long Chen had never encountered any ice-attribute spiritual beasts and wondered how strong they were compared to Huo Linger and Lei Linger.

Yes, the Sapphire Water Pool is located in the southwest and is three days travel from here, Old Fang responded.

Shouldnt such a treasure have already been claimed by some supreme expert? Has the Sapphire Water Ice Crystal Beast already experienced spiritual awakening and become untamable? asked Zheng Wenlong.

Old Fang nodded. Correct. Furthermore, its rather crafty and sly. It normally hides at the bottom of the pool, where ice-crystal veins and hidden currents lie. The ice laws there are very chaotic, and an ordinary person would immediately freeze to death if they entered. Even ice-attribute cultivators can only withstand it briefly. Therefore, despite the value of the Ice Frost Blood Crystals, no one has ever excavated them.

The Sapphire Water Ice Crystal Beasts greatest value lay in serving as a companion beast for an ice-attribute cultivator, but the criteria for being a companion beast were very strict. Firstly, a companion beasts tier, talent, and growth had to exceed certain thresholds, or they could hinder their masters progress. Secondly, the beasts nature had to be compatible with its masters. Even if both sides had ice attributes, there were various variants within them. If their attributes didnt match, it wouldnt work.

Furthermore, since the Sapphire Water Ice Crystal Beast had already achieved spiritual awakening, taming it was virtually impossible. As a spiritual being of heaven and earth, it would rather self-destruct. Consequently, despite knowing it was nearby, no one dared to bother it.

Within its lair was a crystal vein. They were the color of blood and were thus called the Ice Frost Blood Crystals. These crystals contained pure ice energy. After purification, they could nourish the souls of ice-attribute experts and raise their comprehension of ice laws.

Hearing this, Zheng Wenlong frowned. Although the Ice Frost Blood Crystals are indeed valuable, they are available in many places. The Zither Sect wouldnt bother exhausting themselves to mine them here. Although the crystals in the Sapphire Water Pool are likely quite pure, they still require purification, so the purity level is irrelevant. Do you understand what they might be planning?"

Zheng Wenlong was very familiar with the characteristics of various treasures. The Ice Frost Blood Crystal was not unique to this place, so why was the Zither Sect eyeing this location?

Old Fang said, Theres more. After the Zither Sects disciples left, experts from various places began heading toward the Sapphire Water Pool. Most of them are connected to the Zither Sect. Coincidentally, the ones who provoked you earlier were from the Spirit Sword Gate, a subordinate of the Zither Sect. It appears they plan to go to the Sapphire Water Pool after dining. This might be the third group of Spirit Sword Gate disciples arriving here, but we dont know their true intentions.

It seems theres something suspicious going on inside the Sapphire Water Pool. I have to investigate what the Zither Sect is up to, Long Chen said.

I have no combat power, so I wont bother you. Zheng Wenlong nodded.

Familiar with Long Chens strength, Zheng Wenlong was completely at ease. Also, he had his own responsibilities, mainly distributing the treasures he acquired this time.

Old Fang wisely chose to retreat during this moment.

After they finished their meal, Zheng Wenlong was the first to leave. As he stepped out, he noticed the eastern pavilions door was opening.

Those young disciples were clearly intent on revenge. However, they wouldnt do that in Old Fangs territory, so they were waiting for Long Chen and Zheng Wenlong to leave the restaurant.

Zheng Wenlong glanced at them pitifully and then walked out.

Two disciples immediately followed him. But just then, Zheng Wenlong vanished.

The two disciples were stunned. They werent worried about being seen, so they stayed very close. However, Zheng Wenlong still disappeared right before their eyes.

Damn, his evasion skill is impressive! Report it to senior apprentice-brother Wenjing! Dont let the other one escape!

The two of them hastily returned to their post. Just then, Long Chen walked out, and so did the other disciples.

It looked coincidental, but it was clearly not.

Long Chen stepped forward, and the disciples who had lost Zheng Wenlong quickly encircled him from both front and back.

Initially, they feared Old Fang might reveal himself once more, but he did not.

Long Chen swaggered out of town just like that. The other side seemed surprised that he would be so arrogant. Just like at the restaurant, he was completely ignoring their very existence.

Their killing intent smoldered, but Long Chen still ignored them.

As they departed from the town, the disciples' patience finally wore thin. All of them drew their swords.

Do young people these days all have such bad tempers? One hint of displeasure, and youre ready to draw your swords? Thats not good," Long Chen said with a faint smile.

Shut up! You fool, we were born with these tempers!

The woman who assaulted the attendant appeared especially egregious. She moved closer, her sword's tip nearly at Long Chens throat.

Long Chen kindly advised, If you know you have a bad temper, why dont you correct it?

A sharp sword suddenly appeared, but it was directed at Long Chens shoulder instead of his neck. It seemed she didnt mean to kill him, only to take one of his arms.

A loud burst filled the air with a spray of blood mist as Long Chen gradually withdrew his hand.

If you cant change it in this lifetime, you can change it in your next!"
