Chapter 170, The Innate Artifact: Queen's Crown

Since Qi Ling's "Character Cultivation System" was launched, he hasn't recruited anyone for a long time. Firstly, there are no good candidates. Secondly, once a contract is signed, it means that he has reached the closest relationship with himself, so he has to be cautious.

However, Dugu Yan in front of him is obviously a good choice. Not only does she meet all the conditions, but more importantly, as the granddaughter of Dugu Bo, her talent is unquestionable, even stronger than Zhu Zhuqing.

So Qi Ling skipped the previous steps directly. After confirming the establishment of a contract with Dugu Yan, he directly chose the highest level "Hell Road" for her.

[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host, you have made a choice for Dugu Yan in the Road of Choice, and the option you chose is the fourth choice: Hell Road! The Dugu Yan training function has been enabled. Please confirm the reward and the enabled function! ]

[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the task, signing a contract with Dugu Yan, and obtaining rewards: a ticket to the Starry Sky Boundary, a level 5 soul guide, and a special soul guide]

Hmm? Seeing this, Qi Ling suddenly became excited. Another special soul guide?

Qi Ling understood this kind of special soul guide as a lottery. You don't know what you will get, but you won't be disappointed. They usually have some special functions, and many of them are disposable.

As for the level 5 soul guide, Qi Ling didn't care much. After all, it was just a soul king-level item. He had obtained a lot of soul guides through the system's tasks, and those below level 5 were no longer of interest to him.

Opening his infinite space, Qi Ling looked at the special soul guide given to him by the system, and his eyes widened! Hey, hey, hey, this is a big joke. Can this kind of thing be given to others?

"Qi Ling? What's wrong with you?" Seeing Qi Ling's shocked expression, Dugu Yan asked puzzledly.

"Ah, nothing, I'm just thinking about your strengthening plan." Qi Ling said casually, and then calmed down. After all, that thing couldn't be used now.

"Dugu Yan..."

"Call me Yan Yan!" Dugu Yan interrupted Qi Ling when he opened his mouth, staring at him with burning eyes.

"Uh... Isn't this a bit bad? You seem to be older than me." Qi Ling's forehead was covered with cold sweat. This girl was too aggressive.

"Say this kind of thing, but it will make girls sad!" Dugu Yan said coquettishly, "Call me Yan Yan, and I will forgive you!"

"Hey, this name is a bit too..."

"If you don't call me, then I will take off my clothes! We are alone here, and it will be useless even if you shout molest..."

"Okay! Yan Yan!" Qi Ling felt like crying without tears. Did the two people's positions reverse?

"Yan Yan, the Green Phosphorus Viper is the top poisonous martial soul. Now I will use a treatment method for you, which can maximize the combat effectiveness of your martial soul and let you regain your life!"

"But as I said before, letting you swallow these three herbs directly is the same as asking you to commit suicide, so before that, I want to give you this thing first."

Qi Ling said, took out a delicate and small crystal crown and placed it in Dugu Yan's hand.

"Wow! So beautiful! Is this your gift for me? Thank you!" Dugu Yan couldn't wait to put the crystal crown on her head. The shining crystal made her look more radiant.

I have to admit that this girl is very beautiful and has a very unique temperament, but Qi Ling still said to her: "Don't get me wrong, this thing belongs to your natal artifact! Its name is the Queen's Crown!"

】

"Queen's Crown? Natal artifact?" Dugu Yan asked curiously, "But how do I use this thing?"

"It's very simple, come, I'll teach you!" After that, Qi Ling taught Dugu Yan how to establish a connection with the natal artifact according to the method he taught Zhu Zhuqing before. Dugu Yan also proved his talent and quickly established a connection with the Queen's Crown.

"Can I really control such power?" After experiencing the power of the natal artifact, Dugu Yan was also shocked by this, just like Zhu Zhuqing.

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to do it in the future! But now, we have to help you absorb these three herbs first!" Qi Ling said.

After grinding the three poisonous herbs into powder, Dugu Yan took back his snake pill from Qi Ling's body and added his own green phosphorus snake venom to the three poisons.

"After taking these medicines, enter the ice spring immediately. The extreme cold will put you into a state of suspended animation, thus ensuring that your body will not collapse!" Qi Ling said, "I will fish you out by this time tomorrow. If you are still alive then, we will succeed."

"Of course, I still have to advise you in the end. Even if I have done my best, the success rate of this method is still only half! It is very likely that you will not wake up. Do you still want to continue?"

Dugu Yan smiled and said, "Of course!"

Qi Ling had no choice but to feed Dugu Yan the mixed medicine, and then immediately put her into the ice spring! The time for these medicines to take effect is even shorter than that of Tang San, and there is no time to delay.

The extreme cold immediately froze Dugu Yan into an ice sculpture, making her whole person seem like a work of art.

However, Qi Ling was not worried about this, because the Queen's Crown would naturally protect Dugu Yan and would not let her go from suspended animation to real death.

One day passed like this, and when the next day came, Dugu Bo brought Tang San back. As soon as he came back, he immediately asked worriedly: "Yan Yan? Yan Yan? Yan Yan, where have you been? Boy, where did you hide my precious granddaughter?"

"Hey, isn't that it!" Qi Ling pointed to the ice sculpture in the ice spring and said to Dugu Bo.

Seeing his granddaughter frozen into an ice sculpture, Dugu Bo's brain paused for two seconds, and then he said to Qi Ling in anger: "Qi Ling! I will kill you..."

"Don't make noise, old man, if you don't want your granddaughter to die, just be quiet!" Qi Ling said lightly, his eyes never leaving Dugu Yan.

"What did you say? It's like this, you still..." Dugu Bo wanted to say something else, but at this moment, a very subtle crisp sound attracted his attention.

Dugu Yan, who was soaked in the ice spring, had a slight crack on the ice around her body, and then more and more, gradually covering her whole body.

"It's done! It's time!" Qi Ling said, and swung the immortal rope in his hand. The rope tied Dugu Yan accurately and then pulled her up.

As Dugu Yan came out of the ice spring, the ice on her body instantly shattered into countless ice crystals and scattered on the ground, and then she was caught accurately by Qi Ling.

Although she was frozen for so long, Dugu Yan's body temperature did not change at all. She was still as warm as a normal person, without any abnormality.

If there was only one abnormality, it was that she was not breathing.
