135: Chapter 135 Capturing the Goddess, the Ice-Attribute Dragon Flame Flower

Xue Muyan was injured, and Su Ling decided to accompany her to Ice Flame Cave first before leaving, so they still needed to wait for some time.

Therefore, over the next few days, Su Ling focused on farming favorability, mainly targeting Shui Binger, Bing Qilin, and Xue Muyan, who was recovering from her injuries in the City Lord's Mansion.

...

In the blink of an eye, ten days quietly passed. After ten days of care and effort, Xue Muyan's favorability was farmed by Su Ling to 81 points.

This favorability was just enough for Xue Muyan to fall in love with him.

Increasing the favorability by six points also allowed Su Ling to obtain three purple treasure chests and one black treasure chest.

In addition, there were Bing Qilin and Shui Binger.

Bing Qilin's favorability increased by fifteen points, now reaching seventy-six points.

Shui Binger's favorability increased by four points, reaching seventy-nine points.

Su Ling also obtained three white treasure chests, five yellow treasure chests, and two purple treasure chests from the two of them.

Early this morning, Xue Muyan came to find Su Ling.

"Su Ling, thank you for your care. I have already recovered. Can you take me to Ice Flame Cave now?" Xue Muyan spoke. Ice Flame Cave had always been her target.

Su Ling said, "Of course you can. We will go right now."

"Thank you!" The two of them left the City Lord's Mansion together and then headed toward Ice Flame Mountain.

It was no longer appropriate to call it the Ice Flame Sect at this time. The Ice Flame Sect had already exited the stage of history and was now collectively referred to as Ice Flame Mountain.

The entire territory of the Ice Flame Sect was now guarded by members of the Ice Leopard Sect. Ice Leopard Douluo had also sent a Spirit Douluo, Lin Meng, who was at rank 83, leading more than thirty Spirit Masters to be stationed here.

"Greetings, Lord City Lord! Senior Xue!" Seeing these two arrive, Lin Meng immediately jogged over and saluted.

"Lin Meng, we are going to Ice Flame Cave. You don't need to follow us," Su Ling said.

"Master, Senior Xue, please make yourselves at home," Lin Meng said.

Following by Su Ling's side, the two of them walked in together.

Watching the two of them close together and walking side by side, Lin Meng pondered for a moment, then said, "Why do I feel like they seem to be a couple?"

"Brother Meng, that shouldn't be possible, right? There is a gap of about seventy years between our master and Senior Snow Dragon Douluo," a young man beside Lin Meng spoke up.

Lin Meng nodded and said, "Lin Dong, what you brat said is true. Senior Snow Dragon's age is more than enough to be our master's grandmother."

"Yeah, Master is twenty-two years old, not yet twenty-three, and his Soul Power is already at rank 74. I am also twenty-two years old this year, and only... rank 43!"

"You brat, knowing the gap, why aren't you working hard yet?"

"Right now, go into seclusion to Cultivate your Soul Power!" After saying that, Lin Meng directly kicked Lin Dong's butt, and the latter immediately said, "I'll go, I'll go, won't I go?"

While the two were talking, Su Ling and Xue Muyan had already entered the passage of Ice Flame Cave.

Looking at the entrance of Ice Flame Cave, which was full of traces of destruction, Xue Muyan was still somewhat worried at this moment. She didn't know if that passage had been destroyed, which was what she cared about the most.

The two of them walked all the way to the previous cultivation platform.

Su Ling said, "Muyan, look, the ice flames here shouldn't be of much use to you anymore, and they might even be inferior to your Snow Dragon Sect's cultivation grounds."

"Actually..." Xue Muyan glanced at Su Ling.

"Su Ling, actually I am not here for the current place. There are actually other secrets to this Ice Flame Cave." Xue Muyan looked at Su Ling somewhat bashfully.

This was originally a secret, but she didn't know why; she just wanted to share this secret with Su Ling.

After all, with already 81 points of favorability, Xue Muyan had fallen in love with Su Ling. In front of the person she loved, Xue Muyan decided to tell Su Ling directly.

Moreover, given the current intensity of the ice flames, they had no effect on a Titled Douluo's Cultivate at all. If she insisted on staying here to Cultivate, it would instead arouse suspicion, so it was better to take the initiative to inform him.

Su Ling smiled and said, "Muyan, is this the place you are talking about?"

Su Ling pointed to the sealed passage. A stone door had now been made there, similar in appearance to the surrounding walls, making it impossible to tell.

"Su Ling, you... you knew about it too?" Xue Muyan looked at Su Ling in astonishment.

Su Ling said, "When the people of the Ice Flame Sect destroyed this place back then, they happened to open that entrance as well."

"Let's go, let's go inside and take a look. Muyan, you should frequently Cultivate inside, right?" Su Ling said.

"Mm! I come to Cultivate for two months every year," Xue Muyan said.

Su Ling said, "How did that Ice Flame Douluo let you Cultivate for as long as two months? This is the lifeline of their Sect. What benefits did you give him, Muyan?"

"Benefits? It's already good that I didn't kill him! What benefits? Do you think my title as the number one Spirit Master of the Extreme North is undeserved?" Xue Muyan said with a confident look.

"Hmph, who knew I would run into a monster like you? It's simply bizarre!" Xue Muyan feigned a look of dissatisfaction and said.

In front of Su Ling, the ninety-year-old her was like a young girl at this moment, seeming to help her rediscover a youthful heart.

Su Ling opened the stone door and said, "The destruction outside shouldn't have affected the inside. Let's go down."

At this moment, Su Ling, standing at the cave entrance, reached out his hand toward Xue Muyan.

Xue Muyan hesitated for a moment, but still extended her hand, letting Su Ling hold it.

Don't look at Xue Muyan as an attack system; that pair of dragon claws had astonishing strength and was incomparably sharp.

However, this hand still felt quite soft to the touch, and her stats were needless to say, excellent.

Passing through the cave entrance, the two of them also arrived at that platform.

When Ice Leopard Douluo came here, he had to use Spirit Avatar, whereas Xue Muyan didn't need to do so; she could endure it in her normal state.

"Su Ling, the two months I come here are all spent Cultivating right here."

Cultivating here for two months can compare to Cultivating inside the Snow Dragon Grotto for more than half a year, and there is also a big secret hidden below.

Coming to the edge of the platform, Snow Dragon Douluo looked down.

"It's just a pity that with my current Soul Power, I can only descend to a position of eight hundred meters. I can barely withstand the ice flames there."

"At that position, I saw a palace down below, and I don't know what might be inside." Xue Muyan told Su Ling everything.

Su Ling also spoke, "Below is a God's Legacy, called the God of Ice and Flame. The God Position is considered average, but it is still a God. If you want to inherit her God Position, just pass through this layer of ice flames, enter the palace, and get through her final trial."

"God! Is it really a God? Is there really a God in this World?" Xue Muyan looked at Su Ling with a puzzled face and asked.

Su Ling said, "Of course there are Gods, and there are quite a few of them!"

"Su Ling, you... could it be that you have already gone down?" Xue Muyan looked at Su Ling in astonishment.

"Did you go down using your Teleportation skill?"

"No, Teleportation, any opportunistic way won't work, otherwise you will lose the chance to inherit the God Position. Naturally, I passed through this thousand-meter ice flame to get to the bottom."

"According to my understanding of the intensity of the ice flames below, you should be able to reach the very bottom at rank 97 or 98."

"Rank 97?" Xue Muyan was somewhat disappointed.

"How easy is that said? You don't know the difficulty of upgrading from rank 96 to rank 97. I don't even know if I will have this chance in my lifetime."

"My coming here to Cultivate is also to speed things up a bit, hoping to have a Breakthrough in my lifetime."

For Spirit Masters of this era, how many could there be above rank 97?

Many Spirit Masters exhaust their entire lives unable to cross this threshold!

"Muyan, there will be a chance. Trust me!" Su Ling said.

"If I can spend most of a year Cultivating here, then maybe there really is a chance," Xue Muyan said.

"That's no problem. From now on, Ice Flame Mountain will be stationed by your Snow Dragon Sect. This Ice Flame Cave will be given to you to use; use it for as long as you want," Su Ling said.

"Really?" Xue Muyan looked at Su Ling in astonishment. Such an exceptional cultivation place was actually ceded to her just like that.

[Ding... Xue Muyan favorability + 2, obtained purple treasure chest * 1, black treasure chest * 1]

"Muyan, could what I said be fake? And strictly speaking, it doesn't belong to the Extreme North. I am getting ready to leave in the next few days," Su Ling said.

"You're leaving! Where are you going?" Xue Muyan said.

"Going to Heaven Dou City. My identity is..."

Su Ling also directly revealed his identity to Xue Muyan. After hearing it, Xue Muyan understood, but felt even more a sense of loss.

"Yeah, with your talent, there is no need to be trapped in a small place like the Extreme North."

Yet if Su Ling left just like that, she would feel a bit reluctant to let him go.

After this parting, she didn't know when they would meet again.

Her heart had just ignited with the raging fire of love; after so many years, she didn't want any more regrets in her heart.

Suddenly, Xue Muyan also made a bold decision. She stepped forward, looked at Su Ling affectionately, and said, "I don't want to leave regrets. Su Ling, I like you. What about you? Do you have feelings for me? Do you despise my age?"

Su Ling was somewhat caught off Guard by this sudden confession of love, but Su Ling quickly adjusted himself.

"Muyan, actually the first time I saw you that night, your temperament attracted me, and of course I like you. Otherwise, why would I give this Ice Flame Cave to you alone?"

Seeing that it was about right, Su Ling also stepped forward and hugged Xue Muyan, and Xue Muyan did not refuse either. She had waited for this moment for far, far too long.

If she could have taken the initiative back then, perhaps that tragedy would not have happened.

"But I am so many years older than you. Do you really not mind?" Xue Muyan said again.

Su Ling let go of Xue Muyan, then placed both hands on her shoulders, their eyes meeting.

"Muyan, do you still remember what I said that night? Age is not a problem, and I don't mind. Furthermore, we can both become gods in the future, and by then we will possess infinite lifespan."

"By then you will be nine thousand nine hundred and ninety years old, and I will be nine thousand nine hundred and twenty-two years old. Is the gap between us really that big?" Su Ling asked in rhetorical response.

"The gap isn't big! I believe you can do it, but as for me—" Saying this, the usually ultra-confident Xue Muyan suddenly lost her confidence.

Su Ling said, "Muyan, believe me, you can do it."

"Mn!" Xue Muyan nodded.

[Ding... Xue Muyan's favorability +3, obtained purple treasure chest * 2]

Caught in the depth of emotion, Su Ling didn't care what place this was and kissed her directly.

Naturally, Xue Muyan did not refuse either, but she had zero experience in this aspect and relied entirely on Su Ling to lead her.

Su Ling naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity either, as he explored the new continent.

Right on this platform, Su Ling took out the snow dragon chamber.

The platform was around twenty-seven square meters, and the snow dragon chamber was thirty square meters. Placing it on top posed completely no problem at all.

Right inside the snow dragon chamber, the two of them began deep communication!

"Muyan, are you... still a first-timer?"

"Yeah!"

...

"Su Ling, is this right? I always feel like it isn't done this way. Don't trick me."

"Of course it's right! Since you don't understand, naturally you aren't clear about it."

"Uh..."

"Just... right, right... just place it like this on * *!"

...

[Ding... Congratulations to the host for completing the first intimate interaction with the goddess Xue Muyan, rewarding dragon flame flower (ice attribute), and increasing the age of all the host's spirit rings by ten thousand years.]

[dragon flame flower (ice attribute): A flower born from the place of the Ice Dragon's fall, absorbing the essence of the Ice Dragon. It can assist a Spirit Master in elevating Soul Power and greatly boosting potential.]

[Ding... Xue Muyan's favorability +5, obtained purple treasure chest * 2, black treasure chest * 1, red treasure chest * 1]

[Ding... Xue Muyan's favorability is greater than or equal to 90]

[Bound Goddess: Xue Muyan]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 93]

[Favorability: 91 (So deeply in love that there is no room for anyone else in her heart)]

[Binding Effect: The host can obtain 40% of the bound goddess's daily Cultivate effect, without reducing the bound goddess's Cultivate speed.]

[Binding Skill 1: Listen to Advice (Can be activated once a day, the bound goddess has a sixty percent chance of following the host's advice)]

[Binding Skill 2: Dragon Might (Active skill, once released, it allows the host to release dragon might comparable to a True Dragon Spirit Beast of over fifty thousand years.)]

[Binding Skill 3: Perception (When Xue Muyan encounters danger within one thousand meters of the host, the host can perceive her location at the first instance)]

This time Su Ling gained benefits. His body did not undergo any changes, but his Spirit's spirit rings changed, each spirit ring's age increasing by ten thousand years.

Su Ling possessed something to elevate spirit ring ages, which was originally opened from a golden treasure chest.

However, Su Ling did not use it, planning instead to use them all together when he acquired more spirit rings.

That meant all of his current spirit rings started at the black spirit ring level!

Staying with Xue Muyan in the snow dragon chamber was already two days.

Under their interactions, Su Ling obtained another black treasure chest and a purple treasure chest.

Over these past few days, Su Ling let out some steam, while Xue Muyan had been starved for decades, and that scale of things was not small.

Fortunately, Su Ling was powerful himself; if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on long ago.

Su Ling and Xue Muyan came out, put away the snow dragon chamber, and the two landed back on the platform.

"Su Ling, are we going out?" Xue Muyan was still somewhat reluctant, feeling that this time was far too short.

"Muyan, before I leave, I might be able to help you elevate once more." Su Ling said.

Xue Muyan wore a puzzled expression and said, "Help me elevate once? I am already at level 96, can I still be elevated?"

At this moment, Su Ling also took out the ice-attribute dragon flame flower from the System.

It was the same model as the one Liu Erlong took, only with a different attribute.

"Eat this, Muyan, and you will possess the qualifications to become a god." Su Ling said.

Upon seeing the item Su Ling took out from his hand, Xue Muyan knew this was no ordinary item, and moreover, this flower actually gave her a very intimate feeling.

"Alright!" Xue Muyan didn't hesitate or doubt either. She took it over and swallowed it in one bite.

"Circulate your Soul Power and begin to Cultivate to absorb the medicinal efficacy."

Of course Xue Muyan listened to Su Ling. Before long, the medicine took effect, and Xue Muyan also felt her Soul Power accelerating in circulation.

Meanwhile, Su Ling stood Guard by her side. At this time, although Xue Muyan was not yet at Peak level 96, she should have already exceeded level 96 and a half.

If she kept Cultivating in this place, during her lifetime she might perhaps have the chance to reach level 97, or even have the chance to go down and enter that Ice Flame Shrine.

But by that time her potential would have been exhausted, and in this lifetime she might never have the chance to advance further.

If her potential was not enough and she couldn't even reach level 99, then she certainly wouldn't gain the recognition of the God of Ice and Flame.

Because one of the most basic conditions for recognition was that you must have the potential to reach level 99.

If you can't even reach level 99, the Legacy cannot even proceed.

Therefore, this ice-attribute dragon flame flower was the key to changing her fate.

Time passed bit by bit!

Until twenty days later, the Soul Power on Xue Muyan's body began to erupt.

"A Breakthrough?" Su Ling muttered in a low voice.

However, Xue Muyan did not end her Cultivation; another day passed before she concluded this session of Cultivation.

Upon getting up, the first thing she saw was Su Ling!

[Ding... Xue Muyan's favorability +5, obtained black treasure chest * 3, red treasure chest * 1]

[Ding... Xue Muyan's favorability is greater than or equal to 96]

[Bound Goddess: Xue Muyan]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 97]

[Favorability: 96 (Willing to sacrifice everything for you)]

[Binding Effect: The host can obtain 50% of the bound goddess's daily Cultivate effect, without reducing the bound goddess's Cultivate speed.]

[Binding Skill 1: Listen to Advice (Can be activated once a day, the bound goddess has an eighty percent chance of following the host's advice)]

[Binding Skill 2: Dragon Might (Active skill, once released, it allows the host to release dragon might comparable to a one-hundred-thousand-year True Dragon Spirit Beast.)]

[Binding Skill 3: Perception (When Xue Muyan encounters danger within two thousand meters of the host, the host can perceive her location at the first instance)]

[Binding Skill 4: Fusion (Unleashing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill by integrating into the host's body, which can stack with other goddesses)]

Is conquering a goddess difficult?

It doesn't seem difficult either!

"Su Ling, thank you!"

"What was that you gave me to take? My Soul Power actually directly elevated to level 97, and moreover, my Spirit actually evolved. Calling it the Snow Dragon King Spirit is much more appropriate now." Xue Muyan said with an excited expression.

Su Ling said, "What you took is called a dragon flame flower. It is a flower born from the place of the Ice Dragon's fall, growing by absorbing the essence of the Ice Dragon. It can assist Spirit Masters in elevating Soul Power and greatly boosting potential."

"That's right, I can feel it too. My Cultivation speed has increased by so much compared to before."

Xue Muyan tightly hugged Su Ling, reluctant to let go for a long time.

Right now Su Ling had basically given everything he could give. Su Ling did have ice-attribute Spirit Bones, but they seemed to overlap with the positions of the Spirit Bones Xue Muyan already possessed.

After all, Xue Muyan already had four Spirit Bones on her body.

As for that Cultivation Technique "Spirit Jade Art", when farming favorability at the city lord's manor, it was also handed over to the three women Xue Muyan, Shui Binger, and Bing Qilin.

If he really wanted to give more, there was still a Top-tier Martial Soul to add for them.

If Su Ling were willing, using it on Xue Muyan might quickly create a god.

After all, if a level 97 Xue Muyan possessed a Spirit, absorbing nine spirit rings would allow her to reach level 99 very quickly.

It was just that Su Ling was in a rush to go back. If he made Xue Muyan go hunt nine fifty-thousand-year Spirit Beasts all at once, he wouldn't be at ease.

It was very likely she would run into the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North. If that were truly the case, it would be best when he was present.

Therefore, Su Ling also dispelled this thought.

Moreover, Xue Muyan's favorability had already been farmed to 96 points now. This was a relatively stable value and was enough!

After reaching level 97, her Spirit upgraded once more.

Xue Muyan said, "Su Ling, my Soul Power has elevated now. I want to try once more to see if I can break through the ice flames below."

"Very well, I will accompany you!" Su Ling said with a smile. Xue Muyan was already his woman, so letting her inherit the God of Ice and Flame was also fine.

Although it was only a third-rank god, fortunately it was still a God Position, and she could ascend to the Divine Realm.

Actually, having too many goddesses also brought troubles for Su Ling. Once he ascended to the Divine Realm, he always had to arrange a place for the goddesses, right?

It seemed he would have to pay more attention to the quality of the goddesses from now on.

He couldn't just bring any goddess up.

Since the goddesses followed him, he could not let down a single one of them.
