Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Standing once again before the pool of ice and fire, Shen Hanyu reached out and felt a faint, yet undeniably attractive energy below, and couldn't help but smile.

Dugu Bo, who walked slowly towards them, had a slightly somber expression and said:

"You seem to have a particular interest in this spring. You came here as soon as you got back. Is it that important?"

Shen Hanyu glanced at Dugu Bo, then said:

"This spring is undoubtedly a treasure, but it depends on the person. For ordinary people, prolonged contact with it will not bring any benefits and may even cause them to die suddenly."

"For someone like you who is poisoned, this place can effectively suppress the toxins, so it is naturally a treasure."

"There is another type of person, like me, who understands the origin of this spring and truly knows its secrets. However, people like me often face the greatest danger."

Dugu Bo nodded, then said with some doubt:

"Your trip back has given me quite a surprise. You've broken through nearly twenty levels in two years. Whether it's true or not, I suspect you might have taken some kind of pill that squeezes out your potential..."

Shen Hanyu rolled her eyes at Dugu Bo and said somewhat speechlessly:

Do I look like a moron to you?

Dugu Bo didn't say anything, but just stared at Shen Hanyu, making Shen Hanyu feel uneasy.

"Alright, alright, I didn't take any pills or anything like that. I just had a lucky encounter that caused my cultivation to surge. It's nothing major, at least it's a good thing for me."

Shen Hanyu gave a brief explanation and then said nothing more. Instead, his gaze turned to the cliff above, where he sensed a somewhat unfamiliar presence—it was Dugu Yan, whom he had previously "humiliated."

Shen Hanyu looked at Dugu Bo again and asked:

"So, Dugu Yan is back?"

Dugu Bo nodded, put his hands behind his back, and said with some emotion:

"Although what you said last time was quite a blow to this girl, Yan Yan has indeed become much more restrained in the past two years, and she has also become more focused on her cultivation. It is said that she is taking you as her role model. Yan Yan has now broken through to the Soul Venerable realm, but..."

Shen Hanyu nodded. He had experienced this in his past life too, knowing that even a small thing in one's youth could become a lifelong obsession. Intrigued, he asked with some curiosity:

"What's wrong? Could something else have gone wrong?"

Dugu Bo's expression was somewhat complicated, and he said softly:

"It's that kid from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Yan Yan forced him to train with her, and for some reason, they've reportedly had several arguments, and the conflict between them is getting bigger and bigger..."

"Moreover, I don't know if Yan Yan didn't notice, but somehow she revealed that she had eaten a strange herb, which caused such a big transformation. That boy from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family took this very seriously and told his family about it."

"When I was in Tiandou City last time, I was stopped by the second elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. Although he didn't know much, he implied that he wanted to ask me about the origin and whereabouts of those herbs."

Shen Hanyu nodded, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said:

"It's nothing serious. Although that old dragon is powerful, he can't leave the family at will. None of the others are your match, so they probably don't have the courage to commit murder and robbery. Besides, few people know the specific uses of those herbs. Every medicine has some toxicity, and sometimes taking too much isn't entirely a good thing."

Dugu Bo nodded in agreement. There were quite a few herbs growing around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Shen Hanyu had only taken away the ones he recognized; the rest remained here and continued to grow.

Shen Hanyu paused, then added:

"However, Old Bitden, I still have to remind you, better safe than sorry. Be wary of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Those guys are spoiled and sometimes not so smart. They might tear off the mask one day and make things very ugly."

Dugu Bo hummed in agreement, then suddenly seemed to remember something, took out a blue-white scale and tossed it to Shen Hanyu, saying:

"This is a scale from the head of a 70,000-year-old sapphire dragon. I obtained it by chance at the Tian Dou Grand Auction House. It can reflect and absorb a portion of spiritual energy. I'm giving it to you."

Shen Hanyu took it with some curiosity, examined it for a while, and then put it into the soul tool, thanking Dugu Bo.

This thing wasn't of much use to him, but it was a token of Dugu Bo's goodwill, so he couldn't refuse it. He decided to compensate him with something later.

However, speaking of sapphire dragons, Shen Hanyu had encountered such a soul beast in the far north, but unfortunately it was only a hundred-year-old cultivation level and had no value at all, so he did not hunt it down.

Otherwise, he desperately wanted to obtain a spirit ring or spirit bone from a sapphire dragon, and acquire one of their race's innate spirit skills: materialization and spiritualization.

This soul skill is different from the Void or Invincible Golden Body, which are bound by time and soul power. The Spiritualization of the Physical Body will transform the physical body into spiritual power and spread it out. This range is not fixed and can range from one meter to half a continent.

As long as one's spiritual power remains, that person can achieve infinite resurrection to a certain extent; of course, no one has ever achieved this.

However, this soul skill also has significant drawbacks. In this state, one cannot cultivate or replenish the energy needed by oneself. Moreover, once the physical body is restored, the loss of spiritual power will also cause some damage and decline in cultivation. But as a life-saving divine skill, there is nothing more to say.

However, even among the Sapphire Dragon race, which is currently at its peak, it is estimated that not a single member would possess this skill.

Just like the Ice Blast Technique passed down by the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, only one member of the clan possesses this skill every few generations. The probability of the Spiritualization of Physical Formation appearing in the Sapphire Dragon Clan is even smaller than the ocean drying up.

The most recent record dates back 50,000 years, and even the ancient books that recorded this history have weathered away and disappeared, leaving only the versions that have been copied by later generations.

The veracity of the claim is uncertain, but Shen Hanyu remains very interested in it.

After exchanging a few more words with Dugu Bo, Shen Hanyu immediately prepared to venture into the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Although Dugu Bo was somewhat puzzled, he had no choice but to cooperate with Shen Hanyu's actions as much as possible.

Unusually silent in the sea of ​​consciousness, Tianmeng had been pondering something for a long time.

Shen Hanyu asked softly:

"Tianmeng, are you ready?"

Tianmeng then suddenly came to her senses, nodded seriously, and said:

"Hanyu, I have a somewhat immature idea..."

P.S.: Here's a brief update on my recent situation.

I've been very busy lately, only managing to steal a few moments to write a chapter or two before falling asleep the moment my head hits the pillow.

Today is the first time in so many years that I haven't celebrated my birthday at home. It feels pretty good, at least my maternal grandparents' brothers and sisters are all very nice to me.

Let me talk about this book again. Actually, I originally just wanted to write it for fun. It was written with a friend, but he went to write a post-apocalyptic novel. He refused to tell me what the title was, and my ideas were very unconventional and lacked any logic.

But I didn't expect to be picked up when I had 20,000 words, but I dragged it out until I had 70,000 words before I signed the contract.

Many people don't like it, but some people will. So I will try my best to write. If you like it, please read it. If you don't like it, please don't criticize it. Just return the book.

I'm a very sensitive person and I don't dare to read comments. Although the criticism is indeed due to my own carelessness and poor writing, it still makes me feel very uncomfortable. As for deleting comments, I might do it, but to be honest, I'd probably only do it once every two or three months.

I'm not lying to you about this. Since we've been given the right and function to delete comments, we should naturally make use of it.

Finally, happy birthday to myself!

Hope tomorrow will be better!

I also wish everyone peace, joy, and all the best!

Bye-bye~

P.S.: On my birthday, I'm shamelessly asking for some favorites, monthly tickets, and recommendation votes!

Haha, the main thing is I don't know what's appropriate either. I don't really understand these things, so I just said what I know (doge).
