Chapter 2014: Jade Waters Ice Pond

Ning Shu put her entire arm in the ice pond. It was so cold that she felt a stabbing pain and it felt like the blood in her veins had stopped flowing.

Ning Shu didn’t lift her hand out of the water but instead mobilized the energy in her dantian to see if the Unsurpassable Martial Arts could help her withstand this type of cold.

Even with the support of the energy, Ning Shu still felt the stinging pain, and thus took her arm out. The skin on the arm was so pale it looked as if the arm had not a drop of blood and was necrotic.

As Ning Shu mobilized the energy in her body, she also constantly rubbed her skin to speed up her blood circulation.

Although the pond was not very big, she’d probably still freeze to death before she could swim to the lotus.

She was still not strong enough to be able to withstand extreme heat or cold.

Ning Shu turned her head and saw that Little Grass had already sucked up everything from the bloodthirsty spider emperor. Its leaves were lush and shiny and it looked very pleased.

Ning Shu summoned back Little Grass. It reappeared in Ning Shu’s palm and Ning Shu placed it in the Jade Waters Ice Pond.

Although it was cold, Ning Shu felt a burst of powerful spiritual energy.

She couldn’t help but wonder if perhaps the snow soul lotus actually was not anything special.

Little Grass stood in the ice pond but the ice pond was probably too cold. A layer of frost had actually appeared on its leaves. However, after a while, the frost gradually disappeared.

Ning Shu wasn’t sure if it was only in her imagination, but she felt that Little Grass had grown a bit taller. Its leaves had become wider.

Sure enough, it needed more nutrients.

Ning Shu inhaled deeply. She decided to sit cross-legged on the edge of the Jade Waters Ice Pond and train for a while. After all, she couldn’t waste an opportunity to train in an area with such dense spiritual energy.

The scarred mercenary was sitting somewhere not far from Ning Shu. He held a long knife in his hands and vigilantly watched Ning Shu. The surroundings were quiet, there were corpses next to them, and the ice pond was full of strange fish floating lifelessly on their white bellies. It was a bit horrifying.

Seeing that Ning Shu had unexpectedly nonchalantly closed her eyes, he seriously didn’t know what to say. The proverb that newborn calves were not afraid of tigers was indeed true.

Ning Shu, however, was in a great mood. The spiritual energy here was very abundant; the energy in her dantian was even already beginning to form a vaguely dragonesque shape.

However, once it took an abstract form, there was not enough energy for anything more.

When Ning Shu opened her eyes, it was almost dark. She glanced at Little Grass in the pond. Little Grass had suddenly grown a lot. It had grown from a blade of grass the size of a finger to grass the size of a daffodil.

It could even now move on its own and was absorbing all the poisoned strange fish in the pond.

Ning Shu: …

It was acting as if it had been starved for ages.

Ning Shu summoned the grass back. When it reached her palm, it became a miniature version of itself.

Ning Shu intruded upon the consciousness in the green ball of light and communicated with it using the simplest emotions.

The green ball of light was a little stronger than before and it transmitted a very monotonous emotion similar to satisfaction.

Ning Shu put it back into the ice pond and readied herself to go into the water.

Now that her strength was stronger than before, she should be able to withstand the temperature of the ice pond.

Ning Shu mobilized the energy in her body and reached her hand into the ice pond. Although it was cold, she was able to bear it with the protection of the energy.

There must be some sort of treasure in this ice pond. How else could there be such plentiful spiritual energy here?

Ning Shu inhaled deeply and did a couple warm-up exercises to prepare for the ice pond.

“You’re not seriously going down there, are you?” The scarred mercenary hurriedly blocked Ning Shu. “Right now the sky is almost dark, something bad could easily happen.”

“It’s okay, I’m well aware of the situation.” Ning Shu slid into the ice pond, shivered, and swam towards the snow soul lotus.

The closer she was to the lotus, the stronger the spiritual energy seemed to get. Little Grass was also drifting along with the currents by Ning Shu’s side.

Ning Shu took a deep breath and bravely dunked her head into the ice pond. The piercing ice-cold water made her eyes hurt. The pond was completely dark and there was nothing that could be seen.

It took a while for Ning Shu to adapt to the darkness of the water. Through the light entering the water, she could vaguely see things in the water.
