"Ai, what a pity …"
Seeing this Seven Star Grass, even Qin Fang himself was moved. He wished he could pull it out right now, but he couldn't do so.
Once a Spiritual Medicine took root and grew, it couldn't be casually transplanted before it reached maturity. Otherwise, it would easily damage its origin.
Just like this Seven Star Grass, its rhizome was very fragile. Once it was damaged, it would quickly wither and lose a lot of its medicinal properties …
Even if someone like Qin Fang who had the Herb Gathering Skill could pick this Spiritual Medicine intact, the Seven Star Grass was not mature yet. Once it was picked, it would lose a part of its origin. It might even form seeds prematurely, which would still make Qin Fang's efforts go to waste.
Moreover, this kind of unmature seed was a way of self-protection. Its medicinal properties were not as good as the mature seed, and it was also quite difficult to use as medicine …
This was also why Qin Fang said it was a "pity". This Spiritual Medicine was placed in front of him, but he could only look at it and couldn't touch it. After all, this kind of Spiritual Medicine was not easy to grow, and each one was very precious. Wasting it like this was simply a crime.
Qin Fang didn't want to do such a thing. Naturally, he could only helplessly shake his head, and his eyes returned to the cold pond.
There were several other plants around the pond, and they also relied on the water of the cold pond to grow. They also contained Cold Jade Ice Crystals, but they were not important to Qin Fang. He was too lazy to take a look at them.
Squatting at the edge of the cold pond, the bone-piercing cold almost hit him in the face. Even with Qin Fang's physique, he could still feel the cold, so one could imagine how low the temperature of the cold pond was.
Looking at the cold pond that was as calm as stagnant water, Qin Fang stretched out a finger and gently tested the water in the cold pond …
"Hiss ~ ~"
But almost at the moment when his finger touched the water, an extreme coldness came. Qin Fang clearly felt that his finger seemed to be wrapped by an extremely solid object all of a sudden.
To be exact … the cold water that his finger touched froze almost instantly, completely wrapping around one of Qin Fang's fingers. At the same time, a strong chill spread to every part of Qin Fang's body.
"What a low temperature …"
Even though Qin Fang had already guessed that the cold pond where the Millennium Cold Jade was located was definitely not simple, when he actually came into contact with it, Qin Fang was still shocked speechless.
When he pulled his finger out of the cold pond, he saw that his finger was already wrapped in a thick layer of ice. He could vaguely see his finger underneath the layer of ice, but it was also frozen white.
Qin Fang even reached out and knocked a few times. The layer of ice was quite thick. He seemed to be casually flicking a few times, but in fact, the strength was quite shocking. However, not only did the layer of ice not crack, there was not even a trace of it …
"It's really overbearing!"
Such a discovery caused Qin Fang to frown involuntarily. Obviously, the terror of this cold pool had caused Qin Fang to feel that it was a little troublesome.
The reason why Qin Fang came here was because of the Millennium Cold Jade at the bottom of the cold pond. That was the real priceless treasure. Compared to it, the Cloud Net Tea Tree was not even a piece of trash.
Even the Seven-star Grass, Qin Fang felt that if it were not for the existence of the Millennium Cold Jade, it might not be able to grow freely here, and it might even enter the mature stage.
But now that the Seven Star Grass could not be picked, Qin Fang had to temporarily give up and concentrate on scheming for the Millennium Cold Jade under the cold pond …
But now, the overbearing water of the cold pond had become a very big obstacle for Qin Fang to obtain the treasure.
Qin Fang was not afraid of this cold. Although it made his body feel a little uncomfortable, it could not hurt his body. This was also one of the biggest reasons why Qin Fang came here to obtain the treasure.
Qin Fang guessed the beginning, but he did not expect such a situation to occur. It really gave him a headache …
The water of the cold pond looked calm and there was not even a layer of ice. But now, it seemed that it was not because the temperature was not low enough, but because of other reasons.
As for the specific reason, Qin Fang did not care. His headache now was how to smoothly dive to the bottom of the cold pond …
Such an overbearing cold, almost as long as it touched the water surface, it would immediately form a thick layer of ice. Qin Fang's finger certainly had no problem moving, but if Qin Fang wanted to dive to the bottom of the pond, his whole body would be submerged in the water. At that time, his whole body would be frozen in the thick layer of ice …
Being frozen in the ice layer, breathing would be a problem, let alone normal activities. Even if the Millennium Cold Jade was close at hand, Qin Fang could only see it but could not touch it …
And with the thick layer of ice blocking, Qin Fang probably could not even see it!
"Damn, this is really a pain in the ass …"
Qin Fang could not help but curse.
It was not easy to get to the treasure mountain. First, he saw a gold mountain, but found that the gold mountain was too big and too heavy. He could not move it even if he wanted to. Then, looking at the gold mountain, there was a hungry tiger blocking the way …
This made Qin Fang really depressed. His breathing was naturally a little uncomfortable, and his True Qi also involuntarily swelled up.
Bang ~ ~
As an expert at the peak of the Great Master level, the True Qi in his body was very rich and powerful. When he shook it with all his strength, it was quite a terrifying thing.
Only hearing a crisp sound in his ear, Qin Fang felt that his imprisoned finger suddenly relaxed. The thick layer of ice was at this moment shattered by his vibrating True Qi, and automatically fell off from his finger …
"Eh …"
Such a scene suddenly made Qin Fang's face change slightly. His eyes also showed some light, as if he vaguely thought of something.
"Maybe … this is the way!"
Looking at the hard ice that had broken into several pieces on the ground, Qin Fang could definitely put it on his finger if they were pieced together.
But now, even if it was broken, it still maintained a relatively intact appearance.
Of course, this was not the main point. The main point was … Qin Fang's True Qi could easily break the ice that he could not break. This was equivalent to finding a suitable opportunity for Qin Fang to dive into the cold pool.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Fang immediately put one of his arms completely into the cold pool, and his whole arm was completely submerged.
Almost in a very short period of time, this layer of ice immediately formed, completely sealing one of Qin Fang's arms in it. There was no gap or missing place at all.
But Qin Fang's face did not change at all. This was something he had expected, and of course, he did not feel that it was strange.
Bang ~ ~
True Qi surged, and the thick layer of ice cracked with a sound, turning into broken pieces of ice that fell to the ground.
"It seems that it really works …"
The second experiment was also successful. This layer of ice had no problem no matter how hard it was knocked from the outside. It was very strong, but if it was shaken from the inside, this layer of ice seemed to become very fragile. It was completely unable to resist Qin Fang's True Qi vibration.
At the same time, Qin Fang also vaguely discovered that the thickness of this layer of ice seemed to have a limit. When the thickness of the ice reached about three centimeters, the thickness of this layer of ice did not continue to increase, and it always maintained that level …
And such a thick layer of ice could not resist Qin Fang's True Qi vibration at all. It could be easily shaken apart, and Qin Fang could escape from it.
"Let's do it again …"
This discovery was only Qin Fang's guess. Whether it was the truth or not, it would depend on Qin Fang's many experiments to be sure.
This time, Qin Fang was even more ruthless. He directly submerged the lower half of his body completely into the water. Without any suspense, this half of his body was immediately completely wrapped in ice, becoming very heavy. If Qin Fang pressed his hands on the stone at the edge of the cold pool, it was possible that Qin Fang's entire body would have sunk.
Bang ~ ~
This time, Qin Fang did not lift his body out of the water before using True Qi vibration. Instead, he directly used True Qi vibration while half of his body was still in the water.
Such a sound could be vaguely heard, and there were slight ripples on the surface of the water. The layer of ice that wrapped Qin Fang's legs under the water was immediately shaken apart.
To Qin Fang's surprise, the ice that should have frozen his body immediately didn't come as expected. Instead, it paused for about five seconds before it began to freeze again. Moreover, its speed wasn't as fast as before when it froze with a single touch.
"Could it be … this is the way to break out of this situation?"
Such a discovery suddenly surprised Qin Fang. He vaguely realized that he seemed to have found a way to solve the problem, and a trace of excitement suddenly appeared in his heart.
Although Qin Fang's lower body quickly froze again, Qin Fang's face did not have the previous helplessness and worry. Instead, he became confident.
Several more attempts to break the ice with True Qi vibration also confirmed that Qin Fang's guess did not just stop at his own guess. It gradually became a reality.
What's more, Qin Fang also found that the more times he broke the ice, the slower the re-freezing speed would be. This was a very good thing. It meant that Qin Fang could use this time difference to move a little distance in the water.
After many experiments were done, Qin Fang estimated that the battle outside was about to come to an end. In order to avoid any more trouble, he couldn't delay any longer.
"Success or failure depends on this move …"
After taking a slight breath, which was enough for Qin Fang to breathe in the water, Qin Fang resolutely jumped into the cold pool. Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, Qin Fang was wrapped in a thick layer of ice, and then slowly sank into the cold pool …
The sinking speed was not very fast, but it was not very slow either. The ice was still very thick, and it did not continue to increase after sinking into the cold pool.
Qin Fang was frozen in the thick layer of ice, and his eyes could hardly see anything through the ice. He could only use the mini-map function to check.
However, this function was very suitable for searching for enemies, but there was not even a shadow under the cold pool, so this function was a bit superfluous.
However, this did not hinder Qin Fang, because the mini-map would also show some more important items, such as elixirs, ores, treasures, and so on … It was just that they needed to be close to a certain distance to be found. It was not as convenient as searching for people.
Once a treasure like the Millennium Cold Jade appeared on the mini-map, it meant that Qin Fang was very close to it. This was also the reason why Qin Fang was willing to hide in such a thick layer of ice and slowly sink.
Being frozen in the ice, his movements were greatly limited, but it could save a lot of trouble. He could directly fall to the bottom of the cold pool, so he could easily get close to the Millennium Cold Jade, which could save a lot of trouble.
Of course, Qin Fang was not completely unprepared for how to return to the shore. Qin Fang was not completely unprepared.
He specially brought a slender steel wire with him, one end was tied to his body, and the other end was left above the water, the kind that could be stretched freely. As Qin Fang sank, the steel wire also sank with him.
This was also just in case, if necessary, he could use the strength of the steel wire to swim out of the water faster …
The ice was still sinking at a very slow speed, but Qin Fang could clearly feel that the temperature outside seemed to have dropped. He could even feel it when he was sealed in the ice, which could only mean that he was getting closer and closer to the Millennium Cold Jade …
Fortunately, although the temperature was dropping, the ice layer did not thicken, which made Qin Fang feel a lot more at ease. If the ice layer really thickened again, then Qin Fang would have to give up this plan and return to the shore first to think of another way.
"Millennium Cold Jade …"
After sinking for nearly three minutes, a small green dot finally appeared on Qin Fang's mini-map. Qin Fang immediately used his detection skill, and suddenly Qin Fang's face showed an excited smile.
After working so hard for so long, he finally saw the real thing …
At this moment, the Millennium Cold Jade was less than two meters below Qin Fang. As long as the ice continued to sink, Qin Fang might even directly fall on the Millennium Cold Jade.
"This Millennium Cold Jade is mine …"
Just a little bit more, Qin Fang could come in contact with the Millennium Cold Jade, and as long as Qin Fang touched it, he could take away the Millennium Cold Jade without having to go through so much trouble like other people.
Two meters …
One meter …
Fifty centimeters …
Thirty centimeters …
Almost at the same time when the ice exploded, Qin Fang proudly broke free, and at the same time, Qin Fang stretched out his hand towards the Millennium Cold Jade …
