Chapter 46: Ice Spirit Cold Spring
Glancing at the tightly closed door, Gu Te looked at Xiao Yun in front of him and said, "Tell me, what do you want to trade with me? Don't think I will let you go just because you are a fifth-grade alchemist. If you can't produce something that satisfies me, don't even think about getting a treasure from me!""Of course. I, Xiao, am not a bandit or gangster. I will naturally abide by the rules of the transaction and will not bully the weak!" Xiao Yun smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the ring, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
Gu Te sat on the chair, staring at the jade bottle in Xiao Yun's hand, and asked curiously: "What's in this jade bottle? Let me tell you in advance, I don't lack any elixirs, skills, fighting skills, etc. I just like all kinds of natural treasures."
With a brother who is a sixth-grade alchemist, Gut certainly has no shortage of elixirs and fighting skills. Although he knows that Xiao Yun, as a fifth-grade alchemist, must have some good things in his hands, he is also worried that Xiao Yun will exchange the fifth-grade elixirs with him for treasures.
"Master Gut, you will know if you take a look for yourself." Xiao Yun put the jade bottle in his hand on the table with a smile, allowing Gut to inspect it. He was not afraid that Gut would dare to hack this thing. If Gut really dared to do so, Xiao Yun would really have to thank him.
Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Gut hurriedly picked up the jade bottle and gently opened the lid.
The next second, the fragrance of the earth seeped out from the jade bottle and spread throughout the room.
"This thing..." With a frown, Gut looked at the milky white liquid in the jade bottle. Although he had collected countless treasures, he did not recognize what it was for a moment. But just by smelling the refreshing fragrance, he knew that it was a very rare treasure.
"This is the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk." Xiao Yun reminded softly. After he broke through to Dou Wang, he went to the back mountain with Zi Yan to rob the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk guarded by the Snow Demon Sky Ape. He only got four bottles at the time. After that, Xiao Yun took one bottle during his training and gave one bottle to Elder Huo. Now he has to take out another bottle to trade with Gu Te. He only has the last bottle left.
In fact, the Geocentric Body Tempering Milk is slightly higher than the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in terms of its rarity, because the latter can only be used as a material for collecting strange fire, while the Terrain Body Tempering Milk can not only enhance cultivation, but also improve the body's aptitude for cultivation.
But who can blame Xiao Yun for needing the Ice Spirit Cold Spring now? Besides this, Gut probably wouldn't care about anything else on him, so he could only suffer a small loss.
"Geocentric Body Tempering Milk?" Gut's pupils widened, and he suddenly turned around and took out a thick book from behind a hidden stone slab. Then he opened it and flipped through it quickly, looking for information about the Terrain Body Tempering Milk.
"Found it! It's really the Earth-Tempering Body Milk!" After a moment, Gut, who had been flipping through the book, suddenly stopped and shouted excitedly.
Looking at the jade bottle on the table with infatuated eyes, Gu Te said almost crazily: "It takes a hundred years to become mist, a thousand years to become liquid, and it still needs to evolve in quality to become the Earth Core Tempering Milk. I didn't expect that I, Gu Te, would see such a treasure in my lifetime."
"Master Xiao, what do you want to exchange this treasure for me?" After a while, Gut, who had finally calmed down from the excitement of seeing the treasure, asked. After all, no matter how good the thing is, it will not be his until the transaction is completed.
"Ice Spirit Cold Spring." Xiao Yun said with a smile.
"impossible!"
Without any hesitation, Gut just shook his head and refused.
"Master Xiao, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring can only be found in extremely dangerous and extremely cold places, and you can only get a little bit with luck. You want to exchange such a rare treasure for a bottle of Earth Core Tempering Milk?" Gut shook his head while holding the jade bottle in his hand.
"Oh? In that case, then give it back to me." Xiao Yun didn't expect that Gut was so greedy. He really treated him like a child and even dared to slap him!
Standing up, Xiao Yun reached out to take out the jade bottle. Seeing this, Gu Te quickly stepped back, holding the jade bottle in his arms, looking at Xiao Yun with an aggrieved look on his face.
"Hmm? Master Gutt is trying to rob his fellow thieves?"
Xiao Yun looked at Gut with a half-smile and whispered, "Do you think I, a fifth-grade alchemist, was picked up from the sky? I am belittling the Earth-Tempering Body Milk just to raise the price, but do you think I am an idiot?" At the end of his words, a powerful aura burst out and enveloped Gut.
drop!
Feeling this powerful momentum, Gut had a feeling of being stared at by a ferocious beast lingering in his heart. A drop of cold sweat ran across his forehead and dripped onto the floor, making a crisp sound.
"No, no, Master Xiao, I'm not smart enough. In fact, a bottle of Earth Core Tempering Milk can be exchanged for Ice Spirit Cold Spring." Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Gu Te said quickly. "Humph, then take it out!" Xiao Yun snorted coldly, withdrawing his aura into his body.
If a tiger doesn't show its power, some people will really treat it as a sick cat!
Hearing this, Gut turned around and knocked on a wall randomly. "Boom!" With a muffled sound, a secret door appeared behind the wall.
"Master Xiao, please wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon." Gut turned around and said to Xiao Yun, then bent down and went into the secret door.
A moment later, Gut came out of the secret door holding something in his hand.
After blocking the secret door on the wall again, Gut turned around and placed the white jade box as big as a washbasin in his hand on the table.
Patting the jade box with some reluctance, Gut carefully opened the sealed lid of the jade box. Suddenly, a cold mist lingered up from it, and the temperature in the room dropped suddenly in an instant.
Not paying attention to the dropping temperature, Xiao Yun looked into the jade box. He saw pieces of ice neatly arranged in the box, and in the center of the ice, there was a small jade bottle.
"Master Xiao, this is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring you wanted. Would you like to take a look?" Gut sighed reluctantly, pushed the jade box towards Xiao Yun, and said.
Xiao Yun took the jade box and examined it. After confirming that it was the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, he quickly closed the box and sealed it. With a wave of his hand, he put it into his storage ring.
"He's quite honest and didn't use fake goods to cheat me." Xiao Yun said with a smile.
The Ice Spirit Cold Spring was finally obtained. Now he could go directly to find the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire to subdue it.
"I dare not. Master Xiao, you are joking." Hearing this, Gut shrank his neck in disappointment and laughed dryly.
"Since the deal has been completed, I won't stay here long. Goodbye!" Xiao Yun clasped his fists towards Gut, then turned around and left.
"This evil star has finally left. I was almost scared to death." After his soul power could no longer sense Xiao Yun, Gut took a deep breath and slumped in the chair. He was really afraid that Xiao Yun would just snatch these treasures away.
"However, to be able to become a fifth-grade alchemist at such a young age, which force cultivated this monster..."
In the room, Gut grabbed his gray hair in distress, thinking hard.
……
After leaving Gut's house, Xiao Yun saw Otto who had been standing outside the house waiting.
In recognition of his help in introducing Gut to him, Xiao Yun taught Otto some techniques in alchemy. Then, amid Otto's thanks, he summoned his fighting spirit wings, transformed into a stream of fiery red light, and disappeared into the sky.
If he could subdue the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, perhaps Xiao Yun would be able to break through the barrier of a fifth-grade alchemist and become a sixth-grade alchemist. With such a great temptation, he did not want to wait any longer and flew straight towards the Tagor Desert.
