Chapter 722 - Dragon Blade (1/2)
Upon mentioning the Dragon Blade, Tianshan Elder took Xiao Luo and the others towards the mountain peak behind her cave.
After arriving at the peak, they could spot a small lake about ten feet in diameter. The lake was clear and hot steam rose from its surface. It looked like a fairytale. They could feel the temperature was slightly higher than normal.
“The mountains of Tianshan are frozen all year round, why is there a lake here?”
Xiao Quanren looked around. His face was filled with doubt. He walked towards the lake and raised out his hands to feel the water. With a look of disbelief on his face, “The water here is actually warm!”
At that moment, Gu Qianxue softly whispered into Xiao Luo’s ears: “Xiao Luo, this is the hot spring that I previously mentioned.”
“I see.” Xiao Luo nodded his head.
Elder Long as if figuring something out, asked Tianshan Elder: “Junior sister, don’t tell me you’ve hidden the Dragon Blade beneath the river?”
“Why is that not possible?”
Tianshan Elder took a quick look at Elder Long, and said, “The Dragon Blade produces heat at least twelve hours a day. It’s so hard to take a warm bath in the Tianshan mountains. By putting it there, it can melt all the snow and ice to create a natural hot spring. During our spare time, I always take our showers in here with Little Snow.”
After hearing that, Xiao Quanren was completely speechless. He wondered how crazy Tianshan Elder was for her to use the Dragon Blade to create a hot spring for her baths.
Gu Qianxue’s face turned slightly red. Her master saying things like that inevitably made her feel a little bit shy.
On the other hand, Elder Long’s chin was about to drop. With horror, he said to Tianshan Elder: “Junior sister, if master hears about this from the netherworld, don’t you think you’ll anger him to die again? Forget about that, you probably can’t even close the coffin lid!”
“Stop your stinky dogsh*t nonsense. I’m making the best use of it. You don’t know sh*t!” Tianshan Elder spit at his face while saying that.
Elder Long helplessly wiped the saliva off his face and was speechless.
“Stinky dogsh*t brat, go to the bottom of the lake and retrieve the Dragon Blade.” Tianshan Elder shouted.
“Okay.”
Xiao Luo walked forward. He didn’t jump into the lake. Instead, he stretched out both of his palms, and exercised his powers. He used the True Inner Force and released it from his palms. True Inner Force turned into two invisible barriers, dividing the warm lake into two.
As Xiao Luo’s spread both sides, water rushed from the middle to the two sides and slowly revealed the dry bottom of the lake.
“Gulp~”
Gu Qianlin who was standing right at the back couldn’t help but swallow a bit of saliva. She was finally realizing now that she and Xiao Luo belonged to two different worlds, or perhaps more accurately, the both of them were at different levels. Xiao Luo who was splitting the lake was like a god, there was nothing he couldn’t do. Compared to him, she was as tiny as an ant.
The bottom of the lake was uneven and filled with mountain rocks you could find anywhere. Following the splitting of the lake, the bottom of the lake was looking wider and wider, and not too long after, a blade that was in a scabbard could be seen. It stood tall and lay at the bottom of the lake inside a scabbard. There was a golden dragon printed on the scabbard and its hilt. When combined together, it formed a five-clawed golden dragon.
“I haven’t seen this in more than a thousand years, to think that the Dragon Blade still looks the same.”
Elder Long excitedly sucked the blade through the air into his hands. He couldn’t help but play around with it, looking at it with his pair of turbid eyes. “Looking at it is like looking at our old master. I’m feeling so overwhelmed that I’m about to cry.” He turned his head around, looked at Tianshan Elder, and reprimanded her with a stern look, “Junior sister, you are way too much. How can you make use of the Dragon Blade to take bathes! Have you ever spared a thought for the dragon blade? I’m sure it’s extremely unwilling to do so.”
