Chapter 295 - The Man Sealed in Ice (1/2)

Xiao Chen frowned and said, “Look at what?” as his train of thought got interrupted by Zhiluan.

Zhiluan pointed at the pool, its face shocked. “There’s someone! Now it’s gone! The person is there again! Oh, gone again…”

“What’s there again and what’s gone again?” Seeing it speaking incoherently, Xiao Chen looked into the pool and was startled by what he saw. A reflection of a fairy in white unexpectedly appeared in the pool. The fairy’s eyes were closed and her arms were crossed in front of her chest. Her sacredness was unparalleled.

Suddenly, it was gone again.

Suddenly, it appeared again.

Stunned, Xiao Chen immediately turned to look at the Unsullied Sword that was circling around in midair. Every time the Unsullied Sword circled to the side of the pond, the reflection of the fairy would appear. Could this actually be the reflection of the Unsullied Sword?

With this thought, he immediately used psychokinesis to make the Unsullied Sword fly right above the pool. As expected, the reflection of the fairy stopped disappearing.

“What the meowing heck! Kiddo, where did your sword come from!”

Xiao Chen’s brows knitted together. The Unsullied Sword was a gift from Brother Yifeng. Was it possible that the reflection of the fairy that appeared in the pool was its past life or maybe a Sword Spirit? Ahaha, apparently a fairy had been his side all along. With this conclusion, Xiao Chen couldn’t help feeling complacent.

Thereafter, he took out Blood Lotus Demon Blade and placed it above the pool. Immediately, a ferocious bloody monster appeared in the pool and it was staring at him with a sinister smile.

“What the heck! What the hell is that!”

Terrified, Xiao Chen’s hand jerked and threw the Blood Lotus Demon Blade far away from him. He didn’t expect the thing that he had been treating as a treasure and had been using as a Demon Slayer was such a hideous monster.

Then he took out the blighting Spirit-annihilation Halberd he snatched from Zuoqiu Yang in Canglan City previously. He barely used this halberd because he always felt that there was this devilishness inside it that would mess with his mind.

Placing it above the pool, a devilish shadow immediately appeared. Winding around the shadow was an uncountable amount of immortals’ souls. Startled by what he saw, was this halberd really refined with countless souls of immortals? It sure was scary.

Next, he took out the Fuxi Zither C sharp major that he obtained at the bottom of the cold deep pool the other time. A divine dragon appeared in the pool as expected, since it was transformed from the ancient Yinglong.

He continued to take out several miscellaneous items. Besides the C sharp major and Unsullied Sword that looked more normal, the rest were all awful things. Zhiluan couldn’t hold back anymore. “Kiddo, what demons and monsters have you been carrying around…”

Xiao Chen ignored it. He thought to himself, “Even though some of them I have barely used, they all have a significant background story. Especially that Spirit-annihilation Halberd, what could it actually be…”

Zhiluan saw Xiao Chen ignoring him, so it sauntered over to the side of the pool. The moment it looked into the pool, it shrieked in shock and jumped backward. It then pointed at Xiao Chen. “You, you, you! Is it you, kiddo, who is messing with me?”

Xiao Chen frowned. “What the heck? What did you see?”

Zhiluan let out a cough while pointing at the pool. “What lousy sh*tty pool, everything is fake!”

“Weirdo,” Xiao Chen mumbled to himself before walking to the side of the pool. As he was about to wash his face, he suddenly saw that the reflection in the pool turned into something like… a tree glowing with white light? Just for one second.

Xiao Chen suddenly felt a little dizzy, so he shook his head vigorously and opened his eyes. The reflection in the pool was none other than himself, and the reflection of the trees was from the surrounding trees. Could it be that he was seeing things just now? He stirred the pool water a few times, and the reflection broke apart and slowly gathered back together. There was no change at all.

“Forget it, let’s go. There’s something peculiar about this place.”

Zhiluan pointed at the Blood Lotus Demon Blade that was thrown not too far away. “Do you really not want that weird blade anymore?” Right after its words, the Blood Lotus Demon Blade vibrated and let out a light hum.

Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled, and then he reached out his hand and took the blade back with psychokinesis. There would be countless battles in the future, even though the soul of this blade was scary, there was no way he could discard it just like that.

An hour later, the man and the cat came to a quiet valley blooming with flowers. Though it was winter, the plants in the valley showed no signs of withering. As if it were March in the human world, the valley was pleasantly filled with the fragrance of the plants.

After a short walk, several fruit trees that they could not name appeared in their path. The trees bore one immortal fruit after another in shades of orange-magenta. The sight of the fruits made Zhiluan’s mouth water. It spread out its wings and reached out for one before gobbling it down its throat.

“Oi! Leopard Cat Spirit! Don’t just put anything into your mouth!”

Zhiluan gave him a sideways glance then slurred, “What nonsense, I am the great Immortal Lingzhi. I can tell if something is poisonous with one look.”

Xiao Chen thought what it said made sense. As an Immortal Lingzhi, it ought to know everything about all the plants. At once, he went and plucked a fruit from the tree as well. His mouth was filled with a sweet aroma with one bite. The taste of it reminded him of the immortal fruit in Emerald Valley, at the bottom of Three Pure Sect’s back mountain where he first met Xian’er.

Come to think of it, only a place filled with Spiritual Qi like this could bear immortal fruits of this grade. Eating the fruit would definitely improve his powers greatly.

Off to the side, Zhiluan was overwhelmed with fruit picking. It was eating and picking fruits at the same time while putting the fruits into a bag it got from nowhere. It was as if it wanted to put the entire valley into it.
