Chapter 0428: The Frost Immortal Vein
byChapter 0428: The Frost Immortal Vein
The Lunar Beast Dew was silvery-white, as beautiful as moonlight.
Mo Mo shouted from the storage space, "Brother Yun, let me out to see!"
He promptly released Mo Mo.
Seeing the drops of Lunar Beast Dew, Mo Mo was very excited and hurried over to dip her tiny hand in it, then licked it.
She laughed gleefully, "This is amazing! Way better than those Beast Crystal Eggs!"
"Really? Then I won't have to worry about you going hungry when we run out of Beast Crystal Eggs!" Qin Yun was also pleasantly surprised.
Since the Lunar Beast Dew could become Mo Mo's food, he wouldn't have to search everywhere for Beast Crystal Eggs anymore.
The Lunar Beast Spirit Talisman had gathered quite a bit of dew, filling the plate.
Soon, the spirit talisman disappeared.
Qin Yun said, "Let's wait and see for a while!"
Mo Mo quickly returned to the storage space as it was too cold outside.
Old Lady Du stood nearby, watching and said, "Jade Rabbit has been asleep for a long time and should be hungry! She’ll probably pop out any moment now!"
"Grandma, can Jade Rabbit come back to Wuhuang with me?" Qin Yun asked.
"Of course, you can take the little thing to the Young Palace Master! It might be helpful to her!" Old Lady Du said, "After all, Jade Rabbit is a Mystic Beast and quite powerful. She can also protect the Young Palace Master!"
Qin Yun was curious to find out how Yang Shiyue was doing in Moon Mystic Valley.
Fortunately, Old Lady Du of Moon Mystic Valley had timely taken control of the forces at the edge, preventing any leaks.
It was worth noting that the martial souls of Yang Shiyue and Xiao Yuelan were extremely rare, even in Wuhuang.
"Grandma, why is the Moon Palace so cold?" Qin Yun asked, "I got chills the moment I got near the Moon Palace!"
Old Lady Du explained, "Because there is a Frost Immortal Vein beneath the Moon Palace, which releases strong Frost Immortal Energy! That's why the temperature around here is uniformly cold!"
"Originally, the temperature was moderate, but after the attack, many formations were destroyed! Our Moon Palace sits right at the heart of the garden, its very core!"
Qin Yun recalled his journey to the Moon Palace, where everything was lifeless and desolate, showing how thoroughly the Ancient Grove had been destroyed.
"The Jade Rabbit is here!" Old Lady Du suddenly exclaimed joyfully.
Qin Yun glanced around anxiously, asking, "Where? Where is it?"
"Here!" Old Lady Du gently stroked the Jade Rabbit beside the plate, smiling.
Qin Yun was blown away. The Jade Rabbit had darted over so swiftly and quietly that he hadn’t even noticed.
Jade Rabbit wasn't very big, just slightly larger than a palm, and her body emitted a Lunar Glow, making her very beautiful. She was greedily sipping the Lunar Beast Dew from the plate.
"Looks like it’s not enough!" Qin Yun said, taking out a Beast Crystal Egg, "I’m curious if she’ll go for this!"
He knew that if he wanted Jade Rabbit to willingly follow him, he would have to keep her well-fed.
Once she’d polished off the Lunar Beast Dew, Jade Rabbit eagerly pounced on the Beast Crystal Egg, drawing in the energy.
"She’s quite the eater!" Qin Yun watched as the monster crystal egg gradually shrank and had to take out another one.
In no time, the Jade Rabbit had absorbed more than a dozen monster crystal eggs!
That’s enough to keep Mo Mo fed for a year!
He was now worried that if he handed the Jade Rabbit over to Yang Shiyue, he wasn’t sure she could handle the little thing.
"Jade Rabbit, do you know him? He’s a friend of the Young Palace Master! The Young Palace Master has passed away but has been reborn. Will you go with him to Wuhuang to find the Young Palace Master?" the old lady asked, gently stroking the Jade Rabbit.
"I am willing!" the Jade Rabbit spoke, her voice, soft and delicate, sounded like a little girl’s.
Qin Yun felt that the little Jade Rabbit must be after his monster crystal eggs.
"Little rabbit, hold off on eating so many monster crystal eggs! Mo Mo needs a ton of them to fix the array!" Qin Yun said, holding the little rabbit in his hands.
"How about one a day?" the Jade Rabbit said.
"That’s a huge issue!" Qin Yun quickly replied.
One a day adds up to 180 in half a year!
And Mo Mo would need half a year to repair the teleportation array, needing over a hundred monster crystal eggs.
"Just give me twenty, and I’ll sleep it off!" the Jade Rabbit said, "I’ll sleep for a while and won’t need to eat during that time."
Qin Yun relaxed; the Jade Rabbit wasn’t being difficult.
"Alright!" He took out twenty monster crystal eggs and gave them to the Jade Rabbit.
The Jade Rabbit quickly absorbed them all, then hopped around, playing excitedly, though it wasn’t clear why.
"Little rabbit, you can really absorb any poison?" Qin Yun asked.
"Any poison at all!" the Jade Rabbit suddenly leapt high, landing on Qin Yun’s head.
Qin Yun caught her and asked again, "Your Young Palace Master might not remember her past life, are you still willing to follow her?"
"Of course I am!" the Jade Rabbit giggled, "So, when are we heading to Wuhuang?"
"I’ll head back as soon as the array’s fixed!" Qin Yun also let Mo Mo out.
Mo Mo was thrilled to see the little rabbit, and they started playing.
The Jade Rabbit could release a silvery-white energy that wrapped around Mo Mo, keeping her warm.
The two little creatures laughed and played together, full of joy.
"Mo Mo, you can start repairing the teleportation array now!" Qin Yun said.
"Brother Yun, the Yang Spirit is still here! Don’t you want it?" the Jade Rabbit suddenly asked.
"The Yang Spirit? Do you know where it is?" Qin Yun asked in surprise.
The old lady was also shocked and quickly asked, "Little rabbit, do you know where the Yang Spirit is?"
"It’s in the Ice Immortal Vein! I’ll take you there!" the Jade Rabbit said, darting off in a flash.
Qin Yun placed Mo Mo back into the storage space and followed the old lady, chasing after the Jade Rabbit.
Jade Rabbit arrived at a frozen river in Guanghan Palace.
There was a small hole on the ice surface, and Jade Rabbit said, "I was sleeping in the Cold Ice Fairy Vein before!"
The old lady smashed a chunk of ice with a single strike, blasting open a large hole, then grabbed Qin Yun and leapt into the river.
The river shimmered with a silvery glow, radiant and far from dark.
Despite the frozen surface, the water beneath was warm.
The old lady pulled Qin Yun and swiftly descended deeper.
After over half an hour, they followed Jade Rabbit to the riverbed.
The riverbed was scattered with boulders and small hills.
Jade Rabbit slid into a narrow mountain crevice and continued to descend.
The old lady and Qin Yun also entered the crevice and descended further into the depths.
Suddenly, they were pulled down by an unseen force and found themselves in an icy cavern.
"This is where the Cold Ice Fairy Vein is located. I'll take you to find the Yang Spirit!" Jade Rabbit said, darting across the ice on her stubby legs.
The old lady seized Qin Yun and hurried after her.
At this moment, Qin Yun felt a powerful summons ahead through the Nine Sun Divine Soul.
"The Nine Sun Divine Soul is crafted from the spirit of the Nine Suns!" Qin Yun thought with joy. "This could make securing the Yang Spirit a breeze!"
Soon, he saw a blazing mass of firelight ahead!
At the end of the ice cave, there was a bead as tall as half a person, radiating fierce flames.
The flames blazed fiercely yet felt cold.
"Is this bead the Yang Spirit?" Qin Yun asked in surprise.
"Yes, it’s up to you to claim it!" Jade Rabbit said.
The old lady walked up and lightly touched the bead, and her hand burst into flames. She quickly pulled her hand back and snuffed out the flames.
"Don't go near it, it's very dangerous!" the old lady hurriedly pulled Qin Yun.
"Obtaining the Yang Spirit is not easy. Figure out a way to capture it!" Jade Rabbit said.
Through the Nine Sun Divine Soul, Qin Yun could feel that the Yang Spirit had a strong life force, and it seemed like there was something alive inside the bead!
"I'll try touching it!" Qin Yun reached out and touched it, but no flames ignited.
The old lady was also surprised. "What's going on? Why weren't you ignited?"
As soon as she finished asking, the large bead suddenly disappeared!
In an instant, Qin Yun willed the Yang Spirit into the second bead of the Nine Sun Divine Soul!
He thought, "The Yang Spirit is very peculiar, not like a Martial Spirit that can be devoured at will. I don't know its use yet, but being able to collect it into the Nine Sun Divine Soul means I've obtained it!"
Jade Rabbit beamed with joy as Qin Yun claimed the Yang Spirit!
Qin Yun and the others left the Frozen Immortal Vein and returned to the surface, entering the cave.
Inside the cave, there was a transportation array. Once repaired, it could transport them to Wuhuang.
Jade Rabbit also entered a deep sleep and was placed by Qin Yun into the first bead of the Nine Sun Spirit Gathering Formation.
Mo Mo stayed in the cave to repair the transportation array.
The cave wasn't cold, allowing Mo Mo to fly around comfortably while repairing the damaged runes.
Qin Yun and the old lady waited outside the cave entrance, watching the sun in the sky.
"Grandma, why can't I soak up the sun's energy here?" Qin Yun asked.
"It's because you lack an immortal vein, so you can't absorb it," the old lady replied with a smile.
Qin Yun was surprised to find that this place was filled with immortal energy.
He realized the Nine Sun Spirit Gathering Formation converted immortal energy into spiritual energy.
"My Single Yang Vein hasn't evolved into an immortal vein yet, so I can't absorb immortal energy through the Nine Sun Spirit Gathering Formation. That explains it!" Qin Yun looked at the sun in the sky, feeling a bit regretful.
The old lady looked at Qin Yun and said, "Xiao Yun, when you get back to Wuhuang, take care of the head of the Water Palace!"
Qin Yun nodded, "I will! Oh, Grandma, I have a Black Martial Soul, but I'm stuck. Can you help me break through?"
The old lady was a bit surprised and replied, "Of course, there's a way, but it's up to you!"
"You're at the second level of the Martial Dao Realm. Moving to the third level is tough! You'll need to use the Nine Sun to strengthen your body—your weakness is holding back your Black Martial Soul's growth."
