The sky gradually darkened. Qinchuan, who had traveled a long way, finally stood by the Dragon Spirit Lake. Looking at the clear lake water in front of him, a complicated look flashed across Qinchuan's eyes.
Whoosh.
The calm surface of the lake suddenly tumbled and strangely split open from the middle, revealing a passageway large enough for one person to pass through. Seeing the passageway appear, Qinchuan took a step forward and slowly walked in.
Returning to the bottom of the Dragon Spirit Lake after a few months, Qinchuan's mood was somewhat complicated. He looked at the huge dragon figure entrenched on the ruins at the bottom of the lake and said softly, "Senior Cang Hao."
Cang Hao looked at Qinchuan calmly and asked, "Young man, why are you here this time?"
Qin Chuan pursed his lips and replied, "I've seen Qin Chongxiao's grandson. I've already fought with him."
Hearing Qinchuan's reply, Cang Hao, who was originally calm, suddenly became agitated. He moved closer to Qinchuan and asked through gritted teeth, "You killed him?!
Did you avenge my son?! "
"No." Qinchuan shook his head, "I defeated him, but I didn't kill him."
Boom!
An extremely terrifying pressure suddenly descended and pressed down on Qinchuan's body like a towering mountain. In an instant, Qinchuan's face turned pale and revealed a painful expression.
"Why didn't you kill him?!" Cang Hao roared angrily, "He deserved to die!"
Qinchuan did not speak. He only extended his hand to Cang Hao and presented the Dragon Soul in his palm to Cang Hao.
When the furious Cang Hao saw the Dragon Soul in Qinchuan's hand, he was completely stunned. His golden eyes were filled with astonishment, surprise, pain, and sorrow. He probably did not expect Qinchuan to bring back Cang Qing's Dragon Soul!
"I didn't kill Qin Haoxuan, but I brought back the dragon soul."
Qinchuan pursed his lips and said to Cang Hao, "You chose me to avenge you because you saw the blood relationship between me and Qin Chongxiao, right?"
Cang Hao did not immediately answer Qin Chuan's question. With a shake of his body, he transformed into the image of a middle-aged man in green clothes. He stretched out his hand and took Cang Qing's Dragon Soul from Qin Chuan's hand. He carefully held it in his palm and said in a hoarse voice, "My original intention was to let you and Qin Haoxuan fight each other and let Qin Chongxiao send off his son. I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
When Qin Chuan heard that, he could not help but reveal an expression of 'as expected'. If Cang Hao had not noticed the blood relationship between him and Qin Chongxiao, perhaps Cang Hao would have killed him directly back then!
"You brought back Qing 'er's Dragon Soul, so you have completed what I asked you to do. I will help you remove the restriction in your body."
Cang Hao took a deep look at Qinchuan and waved his hand. A green fluorescent light floated out from Qinchuan's body and fell into his hand.
At this moment, Qin Chuan felt that his body was much more relaxed than before. He felt comfortable all over.
"This restriction in your body has the side effect of hindering your cultivation. Now that I have removed the restriction, you will not be affected when you cultivate in the future. Your cultivation speed will be faster than now."
"No wonder."
Qinchuan suddenly realized that the reason why his cultivation speed was lagging behind others and why he could not advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage was because of the restriction that Cang Hao had planted in his body!
Now that the restriction was removed, he would not be affected when he cultivated in the future. This was definitely a great thing for him.
Cang Hao looked down at the Dragon Soul in his hand and said to Qinchuan, "You may leave."
Qinchuan took a deep look at Cang Hao, who was not in a good mood, and said, "I will take my leave. My condolences, senior."
After bidding farewell to Cang Hao, Qinchuan left the Dragon Spirit Lake without any hindrance and returned to the shore. He looked back at the Dragon Spirit Lake and let out a long sigh. After returning the Dragon Soul to Cang Hao, he had one less thing to worry about and could go on his way in a relaxed manner.
…
North of the City of Elves, there was a famous snow mountain. It was named the Great Python Snow Mountain because it looked like a python.
On the winding mountain road, a young man wearing mountaineering clothes and a cotton hat was slowly moving forward. Under the attack of the cold wind and snow, the young man did not use spiritual energy to protect himself. He only moved forward with his physical body, allowing the wind and snow to fall on him.
About ten meters behind the young man, there was a group of four people. Two men and two women were pointing at the young man.
The young man with a thin layer of spiritual energy around him whispered to the young girl walking beside him, "Xu 'er, look at that person. Do you think he's an ordinary person or a cultivator?"
Liu Xu 'er looked up at the young man in front of her and said indifferently, "He doesn't look like a cultivator. If he's a cultivator, why would he suffer from this wind and snow?"
"Xu 'er's analysis is reasonable."
The young man chuckled and continued, "In this Great Python Snow Mountain, only ordinary people who want to try their luck and pick the Wind Snow Lotus would take the risk to climb the mountain."
"Even if it's a three-petal Wind Snow Lotus, it's extremely rare. Furthermore, it's guarded by demonic beasts. If an ordinary person goes to look for the Wind Snow Lotus, it's equivalent to courting death."
Another young man snorted in disdain, "Lu Feng, don't tell me you think an ordinary person can really pick the Wind Snow Lotus?"
"Zhang Ming, I'm just saying it casually." Lu Feng frowned slightly and said, "Why are you so aggressive?"
"That's enough. The two of you should stop talking."
The young girl with a ponytail, Zhao Ning, looked at the two of them impatiently and said, "If you two continue to argue, then go down the mountain by yourself. Xu 'er and I will go find the Wind Snow Lotus by ourselves!"
Hearing Zhao Ning's words, Lu Feng and Zhang Ming snorted and stopped talking. Obviously, they didn't want to go down the mountain by themselves and give the other party a chance to interact with Liu Xu 'er.
"The Wind Snow Lotus is a necessary ingredient to make the Foundation Building Liquid. If we're lucky enough to find a Wind Snow Lotus on this trip to the Great Python Snow Mountain, then the four of us can each obtain a portion of the Foundation Building Liquid and have a chance to advance to the Foundation Building Stage before the age of twenty."
When the Foundation Building Stage was mentioned, Liu Xu 'er's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of yearning.
"Foundation Building Stage. My idol is only at the initial stage of the Foundation Building Stage."
Zhao Ning looked at Liu Xu 'er and said with a smile, "When I advance to the Foundation Building Stage, I must go to the place where my idol once competed!"
"Although your idol is only at the initial stage of the Foundation Building Stage, his battle strength is comparable to a Golden Core Stage cultivator. You're still far from him."
Liu Xu 'er pursed her lips and smiled. She said to Zhao Ning, "You should think more about how to improve yourself."
Hearing this, Zhao Ning rolled his eyes at Liu Xu 'er and said, "I can definitely become as strong as my idol!"
"You don't even have the qualifications to participate in this year's Six Great Academies Ranking Competition. Don't talk about other things."
Zhang Ming couldn't help but mock Zhao Ning, "Compared to the Six Great Academies, our Ten Great Academies are far inferior. If you really have the ability to become that kind of person, then you should enter the Six Great Academies."
