Chapter 217 Another Breakthrough

Combined with the feeling of being in the clouds and mist, it was like a fairyland. The pool and the area around the pool were all covered with ice crystals, crystal clear, and shining with crystal light... But the closer Lu Yu and his friends got to the pool, the colder it became.

With it as the center, ice flowers appeared above and around it. While looking at the surrounding environment, Lu Yu guessed that the temperature must be too low, causing a thin layer of ice to appear on their surface.

However, Lu Yu looked at those frozen stones, all of which were sparkling with beautiful light, and fell into deep thought for a moment. Logically speaking, the temperature in the Sunset Forest was not low now.

But it is impossible for ice crystals to condense here without any external force... Looking at the beautiful scenery that amazed himself and Luoshen.

Lu Yu was sure that the liquid in this pool was probably extraordinary. After all, Lu Yu had been in the Eyes of Ice and Fire before, so he couldn't be wrong about this feeling of being full of energy.

Luo Shen, who was standing by, had recovered from her shock. She carefully looked at the pool in front of her and said in surprise, "No way, you actually have thousand-year-old black crystal liquid here!"

"If that's the case, then there might be a thousand-year-old Xuantian Cold Crystal inside. We've made a lot of money this time."

Lu Yu blinked in surprise: "Do you know the information about this thing?"

Luo Shen was a little uncertain, but she looked at it carefully, nodded, and said, "There are also such things on our continent."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the Millennium Mysterious Heavenly Cold Crystal, which is a rare treasure from heaven and earth."

"It's just that in our area, they usually grow in the extremely cold northern ice fields."

"It takes tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, to form one."

"And it contains huge energy, which can not only be used to help with cultivation, but also to refine the body."

"It is a rare treasure... and the liquid produced by it is called Millennium Mysterious Crystal Liquid, although its effect is not as strong as the Millennium Mysterious Sky Cold Crystal."

"But for ordinary practitioners, one drop is enough to help them improve their cultivation!"

"Now we actually have so much Millennium Mysterious Crystal Liquid, we are simply making a fortune!"

When Lu Yu heard this, he was inevitably surprised. He walked to the side of the pool and thought of taking a look inside. Sure enough, he found it in the clear blue water.

There was a blue crystal hidden deep inside. Lu Yu stretched out his hand tentatively, wanting to see if he could take out the thousand-year-old Xuantian Cold Crystal with his bare hands.

But he stretched out his hand towards the cold crystal stone. However, just as he touched the water surface of the pool, a sudden chill that pierced his heart and lungs rushed straight to his forehead.

Lu Yu subconsciously retracted his hand, and shivered involuntarily: "It's so cold, this water is so cold!"

It was no less cold than the cold springs on the ice and fire wings. It was so cold that his hands already had signs of frostbite.

Lu Yu frowned slightly and quickly circulated his soul power to heal his hand... This thing is so cold, it seems that it will be very difficult to take out the treasure inside.

Luo Shen couldn't help but frown. She knew about this thing but she didn't know how to take it out...

In her own world, Luo Shen didn't have to ask for anything, someone would naturally prepare those good things respectfully and bring them to her, even food, clothing, housing and transportation, so she never had to think about how to transport these things.

Just look at whether you like it or not… Now seeing Lu Yu in a somewhat embarrassed state, Luo Shen couldn’t help but suggest: “Lu Yu, do you have bottles or cups that can be used to hold these liquids?”

Lu Yu thought about it and took out a bottle from the space soul guide. He carefully put the bottle into the water and took out a pot of water.

However, what Lu Yu did not expect was that when the bottle was out of the pool, the water in the bottle instantly froze into ice, and the strong cold air on it also disappeared instantly.

Lu Yu could feel that when the strong cold air disappeared, the ice in the entire bottle also lost all its spiritual energy... This meant that it had lost its original effect.

It turned into ordinary water. What was going on? Lu Yu didn't understand for a moment. This was different from the previous Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

After all, the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire are for people to take a bath in. Once inside, one half is extremely hot, and the other half is extremely cold. The person who enters needs to constantly use his or her powerful soul power to balance the relationship between the two.

I won't let myself explode and die...but now...this really looks like a bathing pool...Lu Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He really didn't want to take an ice bath... The situations that Luo Shen just described all happened in her world. He was afraid that there were still some differences between the world of Douluo Continent and his world.

Since these things cannot be taken away, he can only take a bath. It seems that he can only go in and take a bath. With his experience in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire in his previous life, Lu Yu naturally knows how to control his soul power and attach it to the surface of his body.

Then he went in to take a bath. He turned his head to look at Luo Shen who was standing beside him with a thoughtful look on her face. Lu Yu took her hand and pulled her into his arms. Luo Shen, who was thinking seriously, was instantly startled.

She stared at Lu Yu in confusion, her misty eyes were simply overwhelming. Lu Yu gently lowered his head and kissed her red lips, then explained.

"I'm afraid we can't take this pool of water away, but we can use it to take a bath and strengthen our bodies."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Luo Shen didn't know why, but she inexplicably trusted him. She subconsciously said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Lu Yu didn't expect that Luo Shen didn't refute at all. He looked at her in confusion: "Don't you want to ask me how people can take a bath in such cold water?"

Luo Shen was a little confused when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Will you harm me?"

Lu Yu shook his head slightly, and Luo Shen smiled: "If there is anyone I can trust in this world, there is no one else except you, right?"

"So no matter what you say, I believe it!"

Lu Yu curled his lips and smiled, and his soul power surged outward from his body. The moment Luo Shen was wrapped by Lu Yu's soul power, she felt very comfortable all over.

Lu Yu said to her: "Next, I will use my soul power to wrap the two of us and enter the pool together."

"But even if you are wrapped in soul power, I'm afraid you will still feel a little cold, so you must continue to practice the skills in your mind."

"Resist, don't pause, keep going!"

Luo Shen frowned slightly: "But my current skills can't summon it at all..."

Lu Yu said: "But you also said that when your martial soul awakened, you felt your martial arts skills stirring."

"It just lacks an opportunity. I guess he will do something in a life-or-death situation like yours."

"And through this method, we can also widen the width of our own meridians, allowing our bodies to be tempered to be more perfect."

"I believe that after you have gone through the tempering here, it will be easier for you to absorb spirit rings next time."

After hearing Lu Yu's explanation, Luo Shen nodded. Lu Yu carefully controlled his soul power and wrapped the two of them in it.

Then he said: "Get ready, we are going to go in."

Then he held Luo Shen in his arms and walked towards the thousand-year-old black crystal liquid. As their feet fell into the cold pool, a biting chill rushed up from the soles of their feet. Lu Yu held Luo Shen tightly in his arms.

Luo Shen felt a little nervous. She had done similar body-tempering training before, but this was her first time in this world. A chill surged through her body, and she couldn't help but shiver in Lu Yu's arms.

Fortunately, Luo Shen could still bear this level of cold. Lu Yu held the two of them and walked to the middle of the pool and sat down.

He never let go of Luo Shen, but held Luo Shen in front of him to protect her. The spiritual liquid in the pool overflowed to their chests, and they both began to feel different degrees of coldness.

Although they had soul power protecting them from the outside, the long period of cold still made them shiver uncontrollably. Lu Yu suppressed the chill in his heart and gave instructions to Luo Shen.

"Don't just use your body to resist the cold. Now mobilize your own skills and start running them. Use your own skills to resist the external cold."

"This will allow you to practice here with half the effort and achieve better results."

Luo Shen nodded when she heard this. Lu Yu was afraid that her skills might not be effective at the beginning, so he transferred more of his soul power towards Luo Shen.

Feeling the warmth in his body, Luo Shen made a secret decision in his heart that no matter how cold it was, he had to hold on.

He must improve his skills and his body completely. Just like that, Luo Shen tried to activate the Luo Shen Gong in his body once again.

At first, there was no response from Luoshen Gong, but as Luoshen persevered in practicing it, Luoshen Gong finally began to give her some feedback.

This made Luo Shen feel extremely comfortable and excited. After all, Luo Shen Gong was the martial arts technique she had been practicing. When the technique started to work again, Luo Shen felt an incomparable sense of comfort in her body.

What makes me excited is that I can finally start practicing and no longer be a useless person who has to wait for help and protection from others.

At this moment, Luo Shen felt as if he had entered an icy world. Even with the help of his skills, he was still too cold to bear.

But as the technique was practiced in circles, the huge energy contained in the Millennium Mysterious Crystal Liquid began to flow madly into her body through her pores.

Luo Shen gritted her teeth and practiced her skills faster and faster. Unconsciously, she entered a state of meditation.

It seemed as if he could not feel the cold at all and had forgotten where he was. He was completely immersed in a mysterious state.

On the other side, Lu Yu was sitting in the Millennium Mysterious Crystal Liquid and his situation was not good either. If he opened his eyes, he would find that their hair, eyebrows and faces were all covered with a layer of frost.

Just like the crystals and stalactites around here, Lu Yu began to practice madly as soon as he entered here.

He knew that such natural treasures were hard to come by, and the fact that the two of them could come here and practice cultivation might be the fate prepared for them by God.

Lu Yu knew that he must seize every golden opportunity to practice, which was definitely the right thing to do. Moreover, practicing in such a place would take at least twice as long as practicing outside.

In fact, this was also Lu Yu's good luck. After all, Lu Yu had forgotten that he was a great soul master with two soul rings at this time. How could he withstand such cold pool water?

When he went to the Ice and Fire Realm before, he was already at a certain level, and his spirit rings were not at the same level as now...

Where Lu Yu could not see, the Fantian Seal had already slowly risen from his body, and stopped at the top of Lu Yu's head, as Lu Yu continued to practice his skills.

The Fantian Seal began to rotate gradually, and it spun faster and faster. Lu Yu also sensed the energy in the water, which began to rush into his body frantically.

Lu Yu enjoyed this feeling very much. He kept practicing his skills, allowing the energy in the thousand-year-old black crystal liquid to continuously rotate along his meridians and merge into his body.

As the stinging coldness hit him, his meridians kept contracting repeatedly, absorbing the energy from it to widen and temper his meridians...

For a moment, the entire cave returned to its previous silence, but the cold wind no longer blew outwards.

Instead, it formed a spiral shape, suspended straight above the entire Millennium Mysterious Crystal Liquid, and rushed madly into Lu Yu and Luo Shen's bodies.

The crystal stones around him also flickered and emitted bursts of soft light... I don’t know how long I have been practicing, Lu Yu suddenly found that his soul power began to break through again.

Lu Yu was delighted and naturally prepared to seize this opportunity. The skills in his body kept running and he practiced more and more diligently.

Time passed quickly. During Lu Yu's practice, his soul power increased several levels and reached level 28.

This was a pleasant surprise. Although Lu Yu believed that he could easily reach this level after a while through his own practice, he was naturally happier to be able to advance so quickly. When Lu Yu and Luo Shen opened their eyes again, they didn't know how much time had passed.

After all, once a person enters the realm of cultivation, they will easily forget everything around them and will not be able to perceive the passage of time.

But no matter how much time has passed, Lu Yu felt that the effect of this training was extremely good. Lu Yu slowly walked out of the pool holding Luo Shen and took out the huge fur left over from the previous hunting from the space soul guide.
