Jacinth looked at Fade and hesitated for a moment. Finally, she bit her lip gently and said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, if you don't mind, you can search with us later."
"Oh?" Fade looked at her in surprise.
She lowered her voice and explained, "Mr. Chen, before we set out, my master gave me an ice class sword called the Frozen Blade. With this sword, the scope of my exploration will be increased a lot, reaching up to 200 meters. It will be more convenient to search for Frozen Jade Ice this way."
"Jacinth, you've brought the Frozen Blade with you? That's great!"
"200 meters? That's 10 meters more than me. We are going to be lucky then."
Jacory and Irene were extremely excited.
After a slight moment of astonishment, Fade smiled and felt a little touched.
It seemed that Jacinth had a good character since she was a senior apprentice.
In an extremely vicious environment like the Ice- sealed Realm, she disclosed a treasure to him and exposed the Frozen Blade.
If he really wanted to snatch their Frozen Blade, the three of them would not be able to stop him with their strengths.
With a sigh, he looked at Jacinth, smiled gently, and replied, "Thank you very much. I appreciate your kindness. However, I still have a task at hand. Hence, I'm afraid I can't go with you."
"Oh, Master Chen, are you leaving?" Irene was reluctant to part with him.
"Master Chen, since Jacinth has taken the initiative to say it, you don't need to be so polite. You can rest assured. If we find the Frozen Jade Ice, we will let you take the bigger share," Jacory chimed in.
Seeing this, Fade shook his head and replied with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness. I'm not being polite. I really have a task at hand." "If that's the case, then we won't keep you any longer. Thank you for your care all this while, Mr. Chen." Jacinth thanked him. "If you need anything from us, feel free to tell us. We will only be able to walk for another 15 kilometers or so. We won't be able to go any deeper."
"Okay, I will." Fade nodded and said, "Take care of yourselves. Be careful."
After that, he waved his hand to say goodbye and officially separated from the three people.
Jacinth led Jacory and Irene to search for Frozen Jade Ice in a crowded place.
Fade continued to go deeper, and at the same time, he observed the situation around him.
It was apparent that the area between 10 to 20 kilometers was the place where most martial artists gathered. A lot of the area had been dug until they were unrecognizable, and many people even fought over territory.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
He absorbed the ice essence from the surroundings to cultivate while also releasing the ice essence to explore the ice tunnel to find the hidden Frozen Jade Ice.
By the time he reached 18 kilometers, he was able to absorb 120 streaks of ice essence. The area of his search had also expanded close to 500 meters.
Along the way, he was able to find some pieces of Frozen Jade Ice in some layers of ice.
However, most of them were scattered in the depths of the ice, and were seen by many.
Fade did not want to waste his time to mine the Frozen Jade Ice in that place.
He went forward and traveled over 20 kilometers. He noticed that the number of martial artists there were much fewer.
In the surrounding ice tunnel, the mining traces had reduced a lot.
He went deeper along the ice tunnel, and at the same time, he felt that the chill around him was getting stronger.
A trace of cold chill, like a sharp sword, pierced through his skin and into his bone marrow.
However, he activated his ice essence. While blocking the chill, he also absorbed the bonechilling ice essence to cultivate, which could be said as killing two birds with one stone.
When he reached about 24 kilometers, there were even fewer people here.
Fade suddenly stopped, turned slightly, and looked at a small tunnel on the left side of the ice tunnel.
"I did not expect that I would be so lucky to find something good so quickly." He felt lucky. He grinned and hurriedly walked over.
Earlier, while he was constantly using the ice essence to explore, he discovered a mass of Frozen Jade Ice about 100 meters away from the ice layer in the side tunnel.
It was just that the place was a bit remote. Hence, it was hard to be discovered.
After he observed for a while and realized that there was no one behind him, he turned and entered the small tunnel.
With the help of his ice essence, he found the right place and condensed his fire essence with his right hand. A ball of hot fire melted the hard ice.
Fire essence was not suitable to be used here to search for Frozen Jade Ice. However, it was convenient to be used to melt the ice.
The ice melted under the burning of Fade's terrifying fire essence. In less than 15 minutes, Fade found the crystal clear blue ice that was like a piece of beautiful jade in the depths of 400 meters in the ice.
After putting the fire essence away, he picked up the mass of ice.
In an instant, a chill went from his palm to his body, as if he would be completely frozen.
"It's Frozen Jade Ice. This chill is indeed terrifying." He sighed as he activated his positive energy to protect his body.
The ice mass was only the size of a palm. He checked it and found that there were a total of 24 pieces of Frozen Jade Ice.
It was the first time he had entered the Ice-sealed Realm, and it was the first time he made a move and gathered such a harvest. He was already more fortunate than many people.
"It's a good start for me!"
He smiled but he did not put away the Frozen Jade Ice pieces.
Instead, he held a piece of Frozen Jade Ice in each hand, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to meditate and cultivate directly.
It turned out that he was going to absorb and make use of the ice essence in the Frozen Jade Ice to enhance his understanding of the ice essence so that he could explore more.
It did not take long for him to feel that in his sapling-shaped elixir core, the branch which was the ice essence started growing rapidly inside his body. Along the way, Fade had probably increased the mastery of the ice essence to 120 streaks.
Presently, after he absorbed the two
pieces of Frozen Jade Ice, his
mastery of the ice essence was
directly raised to 220 streaks. One
Frozen Jade Ice could
piece off
increase his mastery of the ice essence by 50 streaks, and the
speed was extremely fast,
Feeling the incredibly fast speed, he became more and more excited.
He casually threw away the two pieces of Frozen Jade Ice that had
just been broken after he had absorbed its ice essence. He then picked up another two pieces of Frozen Jade Ice and continued to
cultivate.
Pieces of the Frozen Jade Ice were absorbed by him and shattered into pieces of ordinary crystal clear ice.
After a long time, he consumed twelve pieces of Frozen Jade Ice, and it was half of his harvest.
At that moment, the number of ice essence in his body had increased to 700 streaks.
Initially, according to his calculations, he would just need another 10 pieces of Frozen Jade Ice to upgrade his ice essence to 720.
However, later on, he discovered that perhaps because he had absorbed too much Frozen Jade Ice, the amount of ice essence slowly decreased with each piece.
At first, one piece of Frozen Jade Ice could allow him to master 50 streaks of ice essence, but now, he could only master 40
streaks per piece.
