Chapter 26: Frosty Pool Ice Water

  ……

  After a long time, Ji Wanyun held the jade bottle tightly with both hands, which was filled with the thousand-year-old purple gold toad's saliva, and excitedly said: "I'll go back and try it!"

  Ji Yu Sheng glanced at Ji Chang Kong and suddenly asked, "Chang Kong, where did you get the thousand-year-old purple gold toad's saliva from?"

  "Cloud Dream Marsh, Poison Dragon Pool."

  "What?!" Ji Yu Sheng and Ji Wan Yun exclaimed in unison, their eyes wide with shock as they stared at Ji Chang Kong.

  The Ji family had been waiting on Qingyan Mountain for so long, and naturally knew what the Poison Dragon Pool in Yunmeng Daze was. Although Ji Yusheng had also been to Yunmeng Daze, he never went to the Poison Dragon Pool where ferocious beasts roamed, which fully explained the danger of the Poison Dragon Pool.

  "You are no longer allowed to go to Poison Dragon Pool from now on!" Ji Yu Sheng said resolutely.

  "Listen to your grandfather's words, never go to the Poison Dragon Pool again. That place is not somewhere ordinary people can go!" Ji Yuanyun said in alarm.

  "Hmm." He nodded absent-mindedly, and Ji Changkong took off the two small packages from his back, handing one to Ji Yusheng and the other to Ji Yuanyun. "Grandfather, Auntie, I found these two things near the Poison Dragon Pool, but I don't know what they're used for. You take a look." He said lightly, "Hmm, I'm a bit hungry, I'll go get something to eat first, and then head to the Ice Cave to cultivate. Don't worry about me." With that, Ji Changkong turned and left.

  Du Long Tan, he planned to go there often later, he always felt that the place was very attractive to him. He was afraid that Ji Yu Sheng and Ji Wan Yun would ask too many questions about Du Long Tan again, so he wanted to avoid it for a while.

  ……

  After he left, Ji Yu Sheng and Ji Wan Yun curiously opened the two small packages and saw what was hidden inside.

  "What kind of skin is this, how can it be purple and gold? And this tendon, so tough!" Ji Yuanyun exclaimed.

  "The skin, tendons, teeth and eyeballs of the thousand-year-old Purple Golden Toad!" On the other side, Ji Yu Sheng suddenly shouted loudly, instantly moving to Ji Wan Yun's front, his tone urgent: "The body of the thousand-year-old Purple Golden Toad is a treasure trove. The purple golden skin can withstand water and fire, it can be woven into precious armor or made into divine sword scabbards. Those tendons can be used to make valuable bowstrings. The teeth contain deadly poison, which can be applied to poisonous darts. And its two eyeballs, when soaked in water, can neutralize poison. These... these are all treasures!"

  Clap! Clap!

  Due to her agitation, Ji Yu's small package that was opened in her hand scattered a handful of dark and shiny jade stones.

  "Hei Yu Yuan Jing!" Ji Wan Yun suddenly shouted, she bent down and grabbed a piece of Hei Yu Yuan Jing, carefully sensing it for a moment, her face filled with wild joy, saying: "Father, this is Hei Yu Yuan Jing, Hei Yu Yuan Jing ah!"

  Ji Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to accept the fact. After a brief daze, Ji Yu Sheng hastily whispered: "Quick! Quick! Pick them up, don't let others see!"

  ……

  Ice Cave

  Carrying three urns of fire dragon incense, Ji Changkong walked towards the direction of the icy cave's deep pool.

  A figure sitting cross-legged in the distance suddenly appeared before her eyes, and Ji Changkong furrowed his brow, took a glance, and said in a low voice, "Big brother."

  That man was Ji Changxiao, who had been defeated by Ling Xue's three moves. At this moment, he had a cold expression, as if he hadn't heard Ji Changkong's greeting, and sat there motionless with his eyes closed, his entire body shrouded in white mist, giving off an aura of chilling air.

  Ji Chang Xiao ignored him, and Ji Chang Kong didn't get angry either. Over the years, he had already gotten used to the cold attitude of these older brothers and sisters. He sat down on the spot, took a few big gulps of Huo Long Shan, and began to meditate silently in the direction about ten meters away from Ji Chang Xiao.

  In an instant, Ji Changkong entered a state of selflessness.

  Suddenly, the thickest white mist above the pond, as if attracted by a magnet, floated towards him in clusters, gathering around him continuously, wrapping him tightly like snowballs.

  Just as he was about to resist the cold pond's white mist, Ji Changxiao immediately felt a change in the white mist. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards Ji Changkong, who had turned into a large snowball. His eyes were extremely bright, but his eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

  Ji Changxiu stared blankly at him, seemingly deep in thought.

  Half a sound, Ji Chang Xiao suddenly stood up, his eyes suddenly cold, and he directly punched a fist heavily towards Ji Chang Kong.

  Ji Changkong, who had fallen into a state of nothingness, instinctively sensed a surge of yuan force rushing towards him. Subconsciously, Ji Changkong stretched out his two hands in a palm-like shape, blocking the path that the incoming yuan force must take.

  Boom!

  His fists heavily slammed into the center of his palms, and a surge of power immediately flooded into his body. His seated figure slid several meters on the icy ground before finally stopping with his back against the wall of the ice cave.

  Opening her eyes, Ji Changkong's face was gloomy as she growled: "Big brother, what are you doing?"

  Unexpectedly, Ji Changxiang nodded and said in a low voice: "Not bad, very good, you react faster than Chang Le and Chang Sheng, and your yuan force seems to be deeper than theirs."

  When he said that, Ji Changkong was stunned. From childhood to adulthood, Ji Changxiao had hardly spoken a few words with him, and every time he looked at him, his gaze was always disdainful and dismissive. This time, although his attitude was not intimate, his tone was unusually calm.

  The most important thing is that Ji Changxiu looked at him with a gaze, and there was no longer any slight disdain!

  "Big brother wants to try out my strength?" Ji Changkong smiled slightly and said calmly.

  "Uh-huh." Ji Changxi nodded, hesitated for a moment, then said: "I practiced in the Ice Cave for a long time, but found that the water in the pool was extremely cold. I once tried to put my hand into the pool and almost got frozen into an ice sculpture. However, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that if we could utilize the stimulation of the icy water's extreme coldness, perhaps we could stimulate our body's potential, making our yuan energy gather at a speed and depth far surpassing ordinary people."

  At this point, Ji Changyue paused for a moment and continued: "When you were just starting to cultivate, I saw that many white mists enveloped your entire body. I found that although you only have one Yuan Tian boundary, your physical endurance is extremely astonishing. I was thinking, perhaps you should try using the cold spring water to cultivate."

  "Then I'll go try now." Ji Changkong listened to him seriously and was really moved by his proposal.

  "No! Not now! I just tried your strength, and although your yuan power is a bit deeper than Chang Le and Chang Sheng, it's still far from being able to enter the Cold Pond for cultivation. In my opinion, only when you reach the Two Instruments Heaven realm can you go to the Cold Pond to try." Ji Chang Xiao hastily shook his head.

  He didn't rush over, and Ji Changkong hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Big brother, why are you telling me these things?"

  Ji Chang let out a long sigh, his expression gloomy. He didn't look at Ji Chang Kong and turned to walk away from the Ice Cave, his back facing Ji Chang Kong as he said: "I will never be able to surpass Ju Ling Xue in my lifetime, but the Ji family can't always be suppressed like this. I think you might not be able to catch up with Ju Ling Xue's natural talent, but if you can cultivate in the Ice Cave for a while and suppress that arrogant kid from Yun Cloud Peak, there might be some hope."

  After finishing speaking, Ji Chang Xiao didn't know whether he wanted to leave a place for Ji Chang Kong to quietly cultivate, but he directly knocked open the stone gate of the Ice Cave and walked out with a lonely figure.

  Ji Changkong was dazed and absent-minded, staring blankly as Ji Changxiao walked out of the Ice Cave, only then did she come back to her senses.

  Suddenly, Ji Changkong found that his resentment towards Ji Changxiao had lightened up a lot. It was also from this moment on that he suddenly realized that the disheartened Ji Changxiao would probably never be able to compare with Ju Lingxue of the Yushan Ju family!

  Yin Shan Que's family, they occasionally go to Ji's house to provoke and show off their might, is it also harboring the despicable plan of making Ji's younger generation completely lose confidence and find it even harder to progress on the path of cultivation?

  Taking a deep breath, Ji Changkong suddenly linked himself with the thousand-year glory of the Ji family, and with a surge in his heart, he hugged Huo Long and rushed towards the icy pond deep within the Ice Cave, walking steadily step by step.
