The next morning, the sky was overcast and gloomy.

  "Rumble, rumble..." The thunder boomed, and scattered raindrops began to fall.

  "Green mountain, look at the weather, there will be a big rain. Dont go into the mountain for bitter training this morning." Mother Yuan Lan put on her thick cotton-padded jacket and walked out of the inner room.

  "Mother, its nothing, this little rain doesnt matter. Well, Ill go up the mountain first." Teng Qing Shan grabbed that iron spear and walked out.

  "Come back early for breakfast." Mother Yuan Lan shouted.

  "Got it." Out of the hospital gate, Teng Qing Shan quickly left Teng Family Village and went up to Da Yan Mountain.

  ……

  "Hah!" "Hah!"

  Teng Qing Shan transformed into a phantom, traversing the mountains and forests. When he left Teng Family Village, there were only scattered raindrops falling from the sky, but as soon as he entered Da Yan Mountain, with a loud clap of thunder, the rain suddenly became torrential, and the sky was a vast expanse of water.

  In an instant, Teng Qing Shan was drenched from head to toe, his whole body soaked.

  "What bad luck." Teng Qings eyebrows furrowed.

  Getting drenched in the rain was a minor issue. Moreover, when he came out this morning, his pockets were empty. Teng Qing Shan wasnt afraid of getting wet, but... with this rain, the plan to sneak into Bi Han Tang had become somewhat troublesome.

  "No matter what, Ill dive into the Azure Cold Pool today, and it will be today."

  Teng Qing Shan swiftly traversed, and soon arrived at Double-headed Mountain. The mountain wall was like a flat road to him. He placed the disassembled long spear on his back, using both hands and feet, Teng Qing Shan reached the summit in no time. Then he directly leaped down from the summit, occasionally slapping the rocks along the way with his hands to slow down his speed.

  "Its frozen, really fast." Teng Qing Shan landed on the empty ground two zhang away from Bi Han Tan at the middle of the mountain, bitterly smiling as he looked at Bi Han Tan.

  The surface of the icy pool had already frozen into a thick layer of solid ice.

  "This ice layer is at least thirty centimeters thick. How long has it been since the last time? Teng Qing Shan was very helpless, the water of Bi Han Tang was special, its density was much higher than that of ordinary water, and it did not freeze even in extremely low temperatures. And every time it rained, when the rainwater came into contact with the water of Bi Han Tang..."

  The rainwater will quickly freeze!

  It had just rained for a while, and the ice was already one foot two inches thick.

  But even if it doesnt stop raining and this freezes, the ice will be at most two feet thick.

  "My clothes are all wet, so its not necessary to take them off today when we dive into the deep pool." Teng Qing Shan threw the iron spear package on his back aside, picked up a large stone from one side, and jumped up. His whole body landed steadily on the hard ice. Stepping on this hard ice, Teng Qing Shan could still feel waves of cold air.

  Suddenly——

  Hong Qingshan suddenly stamped his foot!

  "Boom!"

  It was as if the heavens and earth had collapsed, that ice which was over a foot thick was suddenly trampled to crack open, collapsing and flying wildly in all directions, with many shattered ice blocks crashing into the mountain wall beside it, exploding into powder.

  "I dont believe it, this time Ill definitely dive to the bottom." Teng Qing Shan hugged a boulder weighing over 100 kilograms and charged into the Azure Cold Pool.

  That was enough to freeze an ordinary person to death in the low temperature, but Teng Qing Shan only wore a single layer of clothing and easily withstood it.

  "Wow~~"

  Continuous subsidence causes the flow of spring water.

  "Logically, it should be bright now, but todays heavy rain and gloomy sky make the water visibility very low. However... my eyesight is much better than a month ago, and I can see further underwater." As long as there was a glimmer of light, Teng Qing Shan could borrow that bit of brightness to see clearly around him.

  Down with!

  Keep falling!

  Twenty Jō!

  Forty fathoms!

  Sixty fathoms!

  ……

  "Ive been in contact with this extremely cold low temperature many times, but I still feel too cold and uncomfortable." Teng Qing Shan carefully observed the objects on the surrounding walls of the icy pool. The deep walls of the icy pool had some objects that served as reference points. Teng Qing Shan could completely rely on these reference points to determine his approximate descent distance.

  "We should have gone over the foot of the mountain and deep into the heart of the great mountain!" Teng Qing Shan estimated the depth.

  Last time, having reached such a depth, Teng Qing Shan could no longer bear it and had to exert his inner force to protect his body. However, this time, Teng Qing Shan was able to resist solely with his tendons, bones, and muscles.

  Keep falling!

  "Its really deep, this is already underground. Ive sunk a full 300 meters." Teng Qing Shan felt his body extremely cold, at the same time...

  "Ka Ka ~~"

  The hundred-pound stone in his arms suddenly began to crack.

  So cold its going to split rocks! What kind of low temperature is this?

  "Its freezing to the bone." Teng Qing Shan had never felt such an extreme cold temperature in his past life, as if his strong muscles and skin had no barrier effect at all. The intense cold was directly stimulating his bones, and even subtly stimulating his internal organs. His entire body was icy cold. "I must use my inner energy!"

  Fierce inner energy, frantically circulating throughout the body, resisting low temperatures.

  "Its much better now." Teng Qing Shan carefully looked at the pool of water below, because it was too deep, even with Teng Qing Shans astonishing eyesight, he could barely see around three or four meters.

  "Huh?"

  Teng Qing Shan looked down carefully, "Is that the bottom?" The lower part was blurry and had a faint purple glow. This very weak purple glow allowed Teng Qing Shan to see clearly for seven or eight zhang, and as he got closer, he felt the temperature start to rise again.

  Yes, the originally extremely low temperature has actually started to rise.

  But when Tufengshans feet finally touched down, he was thrilled to confirm - this is the bottom of Bixuantan.

  "Huh? This cold pool, unexpectedly emitting heat? And its even emitting a purple glow, how strange." Teng Qing Shan was shocked, he finally knew why the water near the bottom of the pool was actually warming up. It was because of this peculiar mineral at the bottom of the pool.

  Observe carefully around the bottom of the pool.

  Due to the visibility range, there was a distance of seven or eight zhangs, and Teng Qing Mountain quickly identified the situation at the bottom of the pool.

  "This icy pool is about ten or more zhang wide and twenty or more zhang long." Teng Qing Shan carefully looked at the left side, because only the left side of the icy pools bottom had a passageway two to three zhang long and wide. "It turns out that the water in the icy pool flows from this passageway."

  Hong Qingshan also found that the closer he got to the tunnel entrance, the colder the water became.

  At the bottom of the pool there was no life, no plants, only one thing - a strange, feverish mineral. The surface of the pool bottom was littered with this kind of mineral.

  "Hmm." Teng Qing Shan picked up a piece, this kind of ore itself had an extremely weak purple glow, in the dark conditions at the bottom of the cold pool, one could see this purple glow, estimated that in the daytime outside, it would be invisible.

  "It can actually produce heat in such extremely cold conditions, and the temperature is quite high. It shouldnt be an ordinary mineral. Lets take it back and have Father identify it." Teng Qing Shan picked up two fist-sized minerals and put them into a large pocket inside his chest, which could only hold two minerals.

  Immediately, Teng Qing Shan turned left, and the cold pond water source passage was close by.

  "Its really cold. Inside, its pitch black and the visibility is even lower, I dont know whats in there." Teng Qing Shan carefully observed the inside of the passage, but deep within this underwater passage, there was no such strange mineral, so it was pitch black, and Teng Qing Shan could only barely see two zhang away, and had no idea what was at the depths of this mysterious underwater passage.

  Although Im calm on the surface, I feel a sense of crisis deep down...

  "Something is amiss! With this low temperature and water pressure, my bodys endurance is almost at its limit. Today Ive reached the bottom of the pool, mission accomplished, but first let me go back and show Father this ore. When theres a chance in the future, Ill enter this underwater passageway again." Teng Qing Shan immediately decided to head back outside.

  In the underwater passageway, Tong Qings line of sight couldnt reach.

  There was a pair of fist-sized golden pupils staring at Teng Qing Shan, about ten zhang away from him. It was clear that this underwater monster could see Teng Qing Shan clearly in the dark environment.

  Silently, this underwater monster began to move towards the entrance of the cold spring waterway. As it moved, it didnt make a single sound.

  Standing at the bottom of the pool, Teng Qing Mountain threw out the large stone that had already cracked in his hand, and his whole body floated upwards.

  Just at this time ——

  "Hmph!"

  A strange creature was found at the bottom of Mount Tengqin, its speed suddenly increased violently, like a flash of lightning, and it rushed out of the underwater passage in an instant.

  "What a thing!"

  With such a sudden movement, the cyan mountain that was rising to the surface naturally discovered it. He suddenly turned his head and with one look, he was shocked to the point where his heart skipped a beat and his scalp felt like it was going to explode.

  Under the faint purple light at the bottom of the pool, Teng Qing Mountain saw clearly that it was a huge python as thick as a bucket! The pythons scales were densely packed, emitting a faint purplish-red glow. The length of the python could not be determined for the time being, but just the part of its body that had emerged from the underwater cave entrance was already over 20 feet long.

  In his past life, as a giant python in the rainforest, he had indeed taken lives before.

  Never had he seen a body of such enormous size, with a torso so thick.

  And... this giant python, still rushing out from such an icy region, must have its extraordinary aspects.

  "Ahhh~~" A low, ominous roar that sends shivers down ones spine, like the howling of a hurricane.

  With this low growl, the python suddenly darted towards Teng Qing Shan, opening its bloody huge mouth. The pythons open bloody huge mouth was at least one zhang wide, and it swallowed Teng Qing Shan whole!
