C3 (2/2)
Initially, he did not think much of Ye Ling, who was at the first stage of the Martial Disciple realm, but now, hearing Ye Ling's words, he was astonished.
It was impossible for a level 1 Martial Disciple junior to have such insight.
So that man was someone from the imperial family. That child was also an important character in the imperial family. To be chased and killed by others was merely a scheming between parties.
The man addressed himself as Xiao An. As for the other matters, the man didn't say anything more.
Following that, Ye Ling and the man started to talk, and their relationship gradually became closer.
”Xiao An, although your cultivation is high, you are being hunted down and are seriously injured. How about you come to my Ye family to recuperate and quietly recuperate from your injuries?” ”My Ye family also has a warrior of the Martial Realm who can suppress us. We can protect you now.”
In the midst of their conversation, Ye Ling suddenly had the intention to recruit Zhang Xuan. No matter what, this Xiao An was a Martial Disciple. He was a great support.
Xiao An was clearly interested as well. Bringing this child along at this moment was an end to the road. Being able to obtain the protection of a local tyrant was also something he yearned for even in his dreams.
”Is that true?”
”I, Ye Ling, vouch on the name of the Ye Family's young master, that is true!”
”Many thanks!” Xiao An's eyes flashed with a strange light. To be able to save a life in this kind of situation was no different from saving a life.
”Alright, then come back with me now.” As Ye Ling spoke, he suddenly thought of something. ”Oh right, you have been taking refuge in this mountain for the past few days. Do you know where the Miracle Spring is located in this mountain?”
”Spring of Miracles?” Xiao An was stunned for a moment. Then, he exclaimed in a low voice, ”There's such a place!”
Deep within the snowy mountain range, a figure was shuttling nonstop.
Soon, a hidden valley appeared before Ye Ling.
The valley was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the sound of clear spring water flowing.
”It really is the spring of Miracles. To be able to spend all four seasons like spring in this cold weather, it truly is amazing!” Ye Ling's eyes lit up.
The Frost Wolf that Ye Ling just met could be considered average here.
”Three on the left, four on the right...” Alright, now is the time! ”
After observing for a while, Ye Ling chose the right time. He then turned into a stream of light and dived into the spring water with a 'poof' sound.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
In a split-second, numerous roars followed one after another. However, Ye Ling had already disappeared from the surface of the water.
Ye Ling did not want to become enemies with so many demon beasts.
Although this was the spring of miracles, the real spring water was still underneath. All that was on it were ordinary spring water.
So Ye Ling dived into the water and dived down.
”Roar!” Abruptly, an enormous silhouette appeared, causing the waves in the area to vibrate violently.
This was a python that was a good fifty to sixty meters long. Its body was covered in azure veined patterns and its mouth was wide open. It was the size of a house.
”Damn it!” How could we encounter the Frozen Python here! ”
Although the level of the Ice Python was not high, it was extremely difficult to deal with. Even cultivators at the 7th or 8th level of the Martial Disciple Stage would lose a layer of skin, let alone those at the 1st level of the Martial Disciple realm.
Almost subconsciously, Ye Ling wanted to dodge.
However, at this moment, the Icy Python had already locked its eyes onto Ye Ling. Its blood-red eyes were akin to lanterns in the night sky.
”Roar!” The corpse python opened its bloody mouth. Suddenly, the water around it exploded.
Crack, crack, crack … As the liquid solidified, the ice began to devour the water around Ye Ling.
”This beast!” They are going to turn me into a frozen stick! ” Ye Ling really wanted to jump up and curse. He didn't do anything, was there a need to use such a ruthless move?
Just when Ye Ling was about to reveal his trump card, an ice shard suddenly expanded and actually touched his dantian.
BOOM!
At this moment, both time and space seemed to freeze.
The extension of the ice froze as the eyes of the Icy Python that were the size of two pairs of lanterns suddenly widened! In the next moment, its huge body began to twist crazily in the water. Its huge tail smacked on the water, producing a crackling sound.
However, all of this was to no avail.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
This enormous beast was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. Boundless essence energy poured into Ye Ling's Dantian.
In the end, only a gigantic snake skin was left floating in the water.
”...” ”Abnormal.”
Upon seeing this sight, Ye Ling was also dumbfounded.
He felt that after the Natal Opening Armor absorbed the Icy Python Essence, there was a qualitative change to it. However, it was too late to check because several powerful auras were rushing towards him.
Ye Ling was like a carp, diving straight down a hundred meters, suddenly entering a warm place.
The density of the spring water was at least ten times higher than it was before.
Just like mercury.
”It really is the Spring of Miracles!” The Spirit Serpent's Breath, the Great Art of Body Tempering! ” Ye Ling was secretly delighted as he hurriedly practiced his Mysterious Techniques.
An hour later, a series of popping sounds similar to fried soybeans resounded from Ye Ling's body. ”Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!”
Crack, crack, crack …
With this Spring of Miracles, his cultivation increased by leaps and bounds. At this moment, he broke through two small steps and reached the third level of the Martial Disciple realm.
”Origin Opening Armor!” Ye Ling growled, and a misty green glow enveloped his entire body.
Wearing the Natal Opening Armor, Ye Ling moved his body and swam in the Spring of Miracles.
However, after ten minutes, the glow of the Natal Opening Armor actually weakened.
”What's going on?” Ye Ling was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly started his investigation.
Very soon, Ye Ling discovered a rule. So, this armor also had levels. However, it could not surpass the master's and two levels. Moreover, the higher the level, the shorter the duration of using the armor.
When the armor was in use, it would gradually weaken. After all, it was powered by absorbing the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, and the spiritual energy in the armor itself was non-existent.
Of course, Ye Ling could also absorb the spirit energy from the armor. This was equivalent to a spirit energy converter.
After familiarizing himself with everything, Ye Ling's eyes lit up. Gritting his teeth, he slowly enunciated each word, ”What a treasure!” Forefather Alchemist, great devil Xuanyuan, your father will one day return to the upper realms and find you all to settle old scores! ”
Plop! Finishing his words, true energy gushed out from Ye Ling's body and he disappeared from the valley, creating waves of water over a hundred feet wide.
