#1751 - Great harvest!

Inside the Dead Lake Cave, led by Shu Xuanhuo, Ji Dongfeng made his way through numerous twists and turns to a hidden place. Along the way, Ji Dongfeng noticed many creatures, but they were all listless and lifeless. They merely glanced at Ji Dongfeng before ignoring him.

These creatures weren't busy with anything; they simply stayed put, silently counting the years and waiting for their death.

Ji Dongfeng didn't care about this. He didn't think of himself as some kind of savior. Since these creatures already had a desire for death, even forcibly taking them out would be useless.

"I discovered this place by accident. You need to be careful. This Dead Lake is located at the very bottom of the entire cave. The corpses of all dead creatures are absorbed by this lake," Shu Xuanhuo said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, Shu Xuanhuo led Ji Dongfeng through a narrow downward passage, arriving at an underground space.

Upon entering the space, Ji Dongfeng looked around and was immediately met with a vast lake. This lake was extremely unusual. The shore was piled high with dense, withered bones, and the lake water shimmered with a ghostly blue light, illuminating the entire underground space.

"Strange, it smells faintly fragrant here," Ji Dongfeng said.

Hearing this, Shu Xuanhuo chuckled and said, "This isn't a fragrance; it's the smell of corpse poison. Too many corpses piled together easily form corpse poison. This lake water is full of corpse poison, so you must not touch it."

As soon as he finished speaking and was about to continue his warning, Shu Xuanhuo saw Ji Dongfeng dive headfirst into the Dead Lake.

"Senior, I'll show you a freestyle!" Ji Dongfeng said with a chuckle.

Seeing this, Shu Xuanhuo's mouth twitched a couple of times, and he said, "You really did come here to die… Very well, I can't dissuade you. Kid, remember to help me deliver the thing."

After saying this, Shu Xuanhuo silently sat down by the lake, his eyes filled with sadness, as if recalling something again.

Seeing this, Ji Dongfeng chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Senior!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Dongfeng, enduring the damage from the corpse poison, swam directly towards the bottom of the Dead Lake. He could sense that there was something down there.

"Damn it, this corpse poison is indeed strange. It seems to ignore poison resistance and defense; it's all true damage," Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice. At this moment, his life was dropping crazily. If his vitality wasn't comparable to a tank, he probably would have already died in the lake.

"This Dead Lake Cave has existed for who knows how long, and the number of creatures that have died here is even more countless. With so many creatures' corpses piled together, the power of the corpse poison is naturally extremely strong," Qingfeng said.

"If some of this corpse poison could be added during forging, I guarantee that top-notch poison-coated weapons could be forged," Zhao Guanlan said.

Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred, and he said, "You've reminded me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Dongfeng began to use containers from his exclusive space to collect the Dead Lake water. However, he quickly discovered that ordinary containers couldn't hold it at all. It could be said that they would directly shatter and disintegrate upon slightly touching the lake water.

At the same time, the entire Dead Lake trembled. The lake surface rapidly dropped, causing Shu Xuanhuo to be stunned in place.

"This… what is this kid messing with down there? How is he causing such a big commotion!" Shu Xuanhuo exclaimed.

At the same time, outside the Dead Lake Cave, Old Man Naihe's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly looked towards the cave entrance.

"I knew I would suffer a great loss letting this kid in! It's one thing that he has the Shadow of Law! Why can he also absorb the Dead Lake water!" Old Man Naihe exclaimed, and in the next moment, he prepared to enter the cave.

However, in the next moment, Old Man Naihe paused and instantly changed his mind.

"No… this kid is too strange. If I go in, he might try to scheme against me again. Although the Dead Lake is precious, it's a renewable resource with accumulation over time," Old Man Naihe said.

"Forget it, forget it, what does it matter if I give it to him? Maybe I can even form a good relationship with him because of this!"

After some consideration, Old Man Naihe took a deep breath and directly ignored the changes in the Dead Lake, sitting to the side, his heart silently bleeding.

After more than ten breaths, after absorbing nearly 60% of the Dead Lake water, the Divine Mountain and Yellow Spring River water finally returned to silence.

Compared to before, the volume of the Yellow Spring River water had increased by nearly double, coiling and roaring around the Divine Mountain like a Yellow Spring Water Dragon, with a fierce aura and a chilling yin energy!

"Ding, the effect of the Yellow Spring River water has been enhanced. It can be poured into the Water Spiritual Root to improve the quality of the Water Spiritual Root. It can resist attacks against the Divine Mountain. All attacks against the Divine Mountain have their final damage reduced by 60%. It can launch attacks. All hostile targets that come into contact with the Yellow Spring River water will be contaminated with Yellow Spring Corpse Poison, and both their souls and bodies will enter a poisoned state!"

Hearing the system's notification, Ji Dongfeng's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. Now, the Lightning Spiritual Root, Fire Spiritual Root, and Wood Spiritual Root are all considered special spiritual roots, but the Water Spiritual Root and Earth Spiritual Root haven't been improved much. This comes at just the right time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Dongfeng continued to dive deeper and quickly arrived at the deepest part of the Dead Lake. At this moment, his health points were only less than 10% remaining.

After some searching, Ji Dongfeng quickly discovered a blood-red jade stone at the bottom of the lake.

【Jade of Immortal Blood (Special Supreme): An extremely precious jade stone containing the blood of an immortal. This blood is condensed from the essence blood of countless immortals and may have wonderful uses.】

Seeing this, Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly and immediately thought of the Immortal Blood Lake in the Divine Mountain.

"It's different from the Immortal Blood Lake. Although the Immortal Blood Lake is a bit strange now, it was originally just ordinary blood of immortals. But this Jade of Immortal Blood contains the essence blood of immortals," Qingfeng said.

"It can be said that… an immortal only has one drop of essence blood in their entire body. It seems that although this Dead Lake can process immortal corpses, it doesn't have much of a way to deal with this essence blood of immortals. Over time, these bloods attracted each other and gathered together, forming this jade stone."

Hearing this, Zhao Guanlan's eyes lit up and said, "If this thing is used for forging! The mysteries are endless!"

"Using it only for forging is a waste. Kid, do you still remember the method that Song Yan taught you?" Qingfeng said.

Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred, and he said, "Are you talking about… the summoning method Elder Song Yan taught me?"

"That's right. The essence blood of immortals is already rare, and so much essence blood gathered together… the entire Three Heavens won't be able to find any blood stronger than it."
