246: The Exquisite Saintess of the Ice God Palace!
Three hours later.
Jiang Ye's aura grew stronger. Boom!!! It suddenly erupted, and he achieved a Breakthrough to the first stage of the Profound Emperor Realm!
However, he found that the efficiency of such a Breakthrough was very low. It seemed the best effect would only come from refining the thunder spirit flower into a Medicinal Pill.
Therefore, Jiang Ye stopped wasting time absorbing the Power of Thunder from the thunder spirit flower here and instead harvested most of the thunder spirit flowers directly.
The others dared not speak. First, the strongest experts of their factions had gone elsewhere. Second, Jiang Ye was too ruthless, killing people at the drop of a hat! Third, there were still plenty of thunder spirit flowers here, so there was no need to conflict with him.
Jiang Ye left this place with Shi Bao and Shi Feng, arriving at the location where Wu Linglong was undergoing her Breakthrough.
Jiang Ye said, "I wonder how effective her Breakthrough was. We can only take these two things to an Alchemist to refine them into Medicinal Pills."
Shi Bao said, "Who will refine them? You don't know any Alchemists."
Shi Feng said, "Ask Lü Tan. Doesn't he know three Alchemists who can refine them?"
Jiang Ye nodded and said, "Yes, we'll ask him then, but the cost of getting them to act might be considerable!"
Shi Feng said, "Give him more Materials. The excess refined pills can serve as compensation."
"Oh? That's a good idea, hahaha!"
Just then, the three suddenly felt a chill run through their bodies. Shi Bao nervously asked, "What's going on?"
"Retreat quickly! This Frost Qi is getting stronger; she must be Breaking Through," Jiang Ye urgently said. Then, the group immediately retreated to a distance.
Boom!!! From where Wu Linglong was, the Frost Qi began to rapidly seep outward, freezing everything in its path!
"Damn! Why is this power so terrifying?" Shi Bao asked.
Jiang Ye felt the Power of Frost was still spreading. "Retreat further! Otherwise, we might be instantly frozen by this Frost Qi."
The group continued to retreat. Slowly, it seemed as if the entire Secret Realm had grown cold. Those with insufficient Cultivation might not be able to withstand it.
On the other side, Lü Tan and the people from the Forbidden Ground also felt a chill in their bodies.
"What happened? Why did the Secret Realm suddenly become so cold?" Lü Tan asked the Personal Protector beside him.
"Huh? This terrifying Cold Qi, could it be that the cold marrow fruit has appeared?"
"Let's go! We should also go see the place where that Cold Qi is emanating from," Lü Tan said.
Not long after.
Lü Tan, Lin Le, and other major factions arrived where Jiang Ye and the others were, seeing that the three of them had also retreated a long distance from the epicenter of the Power of Frost outbreak.
Lü Tan asked Jiang Ye, "What's happening over there?"
"Someone is undergoing a Breakthrough. Do not approach!"
"Is it your wife?"
"Yes!"
Lin Le, who was not far away, exchanged glances with his Protector. "Could it be that she took the cold marrow fruit?"
Lin Le prepared to incite Lü Tan to attack Jiang Ye and the others together, saying, "young clan leader Lü, it must be the cold marrow fruit inside; otherwise, such powerful Cold Qi couldn't seep out. Are we just going to let them monopolize it?"
Lü Tan was suddenly startled. Did he not want it? Impossible! If he truly fought Jiang Ye, he couldn't predict the consequences. However, since two second-stage Profound Transformation Realm experts from the two Hidden Families were present, he had leverage to negotiate terms.
"Jiang Ye, three specific Materials are essential for refining the profound dragon pill used for Profound Emperor Realm Breakthroughs. Missing even one would mean this trip was wasted. I hope you can give up some of the cold marrow fruit."
"Huh?" Jiang Ye was stunned. "Three Materials are required? Why didn't you say so earlier!"
If Wu Linglong refined all the cold marrow fruit now, then everything truly would be for nothing.
"I assumed you knew."
"What the hell would I know! I haven't even eaten a Medicinal Pill since I started to Cultivate. Let's wait a bit longer now! We'll talk after she comes out. If there's any left, I won't monopolize it."
Lü Tan said, "Alright, I trust you!"
Lin Le clenched his fists, grinding his teeth in hatred. If Lü Tan's side didn't act, and they did, as soon as Jiang Ye slightly held back his Protector, the other two would surely quickly combine forces and kill him.
Because when they first arrived, his Protector told him that Shi Feng and Shi Bao had both achieved a Breakthrough to the third stage of the Profound Emperor Realm. If the two of them combined their strength, coupled with their strange Cultivation Technique, they could quickly kill him, who was also at the third stage of the Profound Emperor Realm, on the spot.
After waiting for about three hours, a Phenomenon appeared, and the Cold Qi throughout the entire Sha Long Secret Realm instantly vanished.
Everyone was startled! Immediately afterward, Wu Linglong appeared not far away.
The current Wu Linglong was like a Goddess; her aura had completely changed, astonishing even the two second-stage Profound Transformation Realm experts.
The Protector beside Lü Tan said with a trembling voice, "young clan leader, this person... her Realm has already surpassed the Profound Transformation Realm!"
"What did you say!" Lü Tan looked at him with an expression of disbelief.
Everyone else was also greatly alarmed. Jiang Ye also felt that something was very wrong; the Wu Linglong before him seemed not to recognize him.
Jiang Ye swept her with his Soul Power and was shocked again: her Soul had changed somewhat differently from before. Thus, he slowly approached her with a feeling of fear and unease.
When he reached twenty meters away, Wu Linglong suddenly spoke, "Come any closer, and I will kill you!"
Jiang Ye frowned deeply. "Who exactly are you? You are not Wu Linglong!"
Wu Linglong smiled faintly, "Heh heh, yes, and no! The memory Seal placed upon me has broken open. The person I am now is the true, complete me."
"What do you mean? What is your background?" Jiang Ye asked again.
Wu Linglong said with an icy voice, "Logically speaking, ants like you are not worthy to know who I am, but the person behind you is not simple. I can tell you: I am the Linglong Saintess of the Ice God Palace in the Super Profound Domain!"
"The Ice God Palace of the Super Profound Domain?" Lü Tan loudly uttered the name, his face turning pale. He respectfully bowed and saluted, saying, "We did not know of the arrival of Saintess Daren. Please forgive us!"
"Please forgive us, Saintess Daren!"
Except for Jiang Ye and the two others, everyone else, like Lü Tan, respectfully bowed and saluted.
Wu Linglong found it slightly amusing that Jiang Ye and the two others did not salute her.
"As expected of people from a forsaken place like the Southern Domain. Did the person behind you not tell you what kind of faction the Ice God Palace is?"
Jiang Ye said irritably, "Stop messing with me! What exactly do you want to do?"
Wu Linglong's mind stirred, and an Isolation Barrier enveloped both her and Jiang Ye.
"Idiot! Now that I've recovered my strength, of course, I'm returning to the Ice God Palace. As for you, you'd better not expose the fact that you and I had intimate relations, or even the person behind you won't be able to protect you!"
Jiang Ye asked doubtfully, "Did I put a cuckold's cap on your man in the Super Profound Domain?"
"Get lost!" Wu Linglong shouted loudly.
"Ah..." Jiang Ye was instantly suppressed by her!
Wu Linglong approached him and whispered, "That's what you get for having a foul mouth. Do you believe I won't kill you?"
"Heh heh heh! Did I guess right?" Jiang Ye looked at the great beauty before him with a cheeky smile.
Wu Linglong was somewhat speechless. "You really aren't afraid of death! Do you actually think I won't kill you?"
