(12 points)

The place where Ye Chen settled is a deep pool on the mountainside, the deep pool is surrounded by a huge flat land with a radius of thousands of feet, the back of the flat land is covered by a steep mountain, and the left and right sides of the deep pool are large areas of primeval jungle, from time to time there are fierce demon beasts rushing out to prey on some weak beasts.

The deep pool shrouded in a thick fog makes it impossible to see the exact size, only a faint silhouette.

"En? Cold Grass, Ice Flower"

Dispelling the demon beasts near the deep pool, Ye Chen saw at a glance that two completely different medicinal herbs grew in the cracks between the rocks on the shore, one was a dark green broad-leaved grass, which was extremely cold, and the other was a pink flower, and the petals and leaves were dotted with a little bit of broken ice, like white diamonds.

With a move of his hand, two herbs fell into his hand, Ye Chen smiled faintly, and put them into the storage spirit ring.

The Cold Herb and the Ice Smile Flower are both top-grade herbs, and for the martial artists who cultivate the true yuan of the ice system, they are treasures that increase the true yuan, and for Ye Chen, they have no effect, but these two medicinal herbs are very valuable, and if they are auctioned out, one can be sold for thousands of high-grade spirit stones, which is considered a small fortune.

The deep pool is not small, walking along the edge of the deep pool, it took Ye Chen a full quarter of an hour, of course, this quarter of an hour was not in vain, Ye Chen got a total of seven high-grade herbs, twenty-four medium-grade herbs, and more than ten ice spirit stones.

The total value is no less than 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, and it has become a big fortune from a small fortune, after all, Ye Chen's entire net worth is only 700,000 high-grade spirit stones.

After the herbs were picked, Ye Chen's attention was focused on the pond.

"This pool is the source of the mist, the water is cold and piercing, containing quite pure ice energy, there should be something in it. ”

How can he go back empty-handed when he enters Baoshan, since he spent 90,000 high-grade spirit stones in Zhimo, Ye Chen knows that his net worth is not enough, the higher his strength, the more spirit stones he needs, and only in this way can he ensure that he can be fully prepared at any time.

The sea of souls rippled, and Ye Chen urged his soul power to invade the inside of the pool.

"Well, the soul power is canceled"

Ye Chen frowned, and his soul power only invaded to a depth of fifty zhang, and it was offset by the invisible liliang, without the slightest effect.

After a little thought, Ye Chen took out the swordsman puppet, and with a thought, he manipulated it to jump into the water.

Click

The coldness of the pool water exceeded Ye Chen's estimate, as soon as the swordsman puppet was touched with water, frost formed in the place where it came into contact with the water, and the frost spread rapidly, crawling all over the body of the swordsman puppet, that is, in the blink of an eye, the swordsman puppet was covered by a thin layer of pale white frost, which made the joints stiff and sluggish, but fortunately, the cold qi did not erode the inside of the swordsman puppet, and it was able to continue to control.

When the swordsman puppet dived to a depth of about seven or eight zhang, the 'pressure' in the water made Ye Chen suspicious, he could feel that this was not the normal water pressure, but the power emitted by some treasure, which automatically prevented foreign objects from approaching, otherwise this water pressure would be too terrifying.

His pupils glowed with a silver luster, and Ye Chen increased the power of manipulation, causing the swordsman puppet to dive down three or four feet deep.

"It's not good, this icy aura has actually invaded the power source inside the swordsman puppet. ”

Sensing that the swordsman puppet was gradually uncontrollable, Ye Chen's complexion changed, and he hurriedly let the swordsman puppet float to the surface and jumped out.

boom

The frost-covered swordsman puppet landed stiffly on the shore, making a heavy sound, a marked change from the usual lightness.

The palm of his hand was against the back of the swordsman puppet, Ye Chen's hand was numb, and the cold qi was flowing along the back of the swordsman puppet and into his body, but after all, he was a great power of the Spirit Sea Realm, and his strength was more than dozens of times stronger than that of the swordsman puppet.

Silently, the frost on the swordsman's puppet dissolved, and as soon as the ice water fell to the ground, it formed frost again, covering the ground.

Putting away the swordsman puppet, Ye Chen's expression was slightly solemn.

From the temptation just now, it can be found that the pool water contains an extremely terrifying cold qi, as the depth deepens, the heavier the cold qi, ten zhang deep, the cold qi can erode into the inside of the swordsman puppet, and in addition to the cold qi, the pressure inside the deep pool is also surprisingly terrifying, even if there is no cold qi, the strong people of the Star Pole Realm cannot dive too deep, it seems that something releases power outward. ...,

"Looks like we're going to have to do it myself. ”

It is impossible for Ye Chen to give up exploration, he is sure that there must be some mystery at the bottom of the pool, if he misses it, it will be a pity.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen bent his knees and jumped into the pool.

After all, Ye Chen had a True Yuan at the level of the Spirit Sea Realm, and the cold qi was completely isolated from the True Yuan of the Body Protector, and he couldn't feel a trace of cold.

Rushing

The true yuan was running, and Ye Chen's head was on his feet, constantly sinking.

Five zhang

Ten zhang

Twenty zhang

Thirty zhang

At a depth of thirty zhang, Ye Chen felt a trace of coolness, as well as the pressure released from the bottom of the pool.

"The soul power still can't penetrate to a depth of fifty zhang, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the pool of water."

If it is a problem with the pool of water, Ye Chen dives to a depth of thirty zhang, and his soul power should be able to probe to a depth of eighty zhang, after all, when he is on the shore, he can probe fifty zhang deep.

Keep sinking.

Forty zhang

Fifty zhang

"Soul power can't radiate out"

Ye Chen felt that there was an invisible liliang blocking him, causing his soul power to come out, but fortunately, Zhenyuan was fine.

Sixty zhang

Eighty zhang

One hundred zhang

The true element of the protective body outside Ye Chen's body formed frost, and there was a faint invisible cold qi that penetrated through the true element of the protective body and invaded into Ye Chen's body, but the true element in Ye Chen's body was even thicker, and the cold qi invaded and was immediately annihilated, without a trace of waves.

"It's really deep, I've already dived to a depth of one hundred and fifty feet. ”

In the extreme depths of the pool, an oval-shaped ice crystal sank, and inside the ice crystal was a figure, it turned out that with the increase of depth, the cold qi formed a thick layer of ice on the surface of the body protection true element, which looked like a whole piece of ice crystal.

Card rub

The ice crystals shattered, and the first could not withstand the pressure.

Ye Chen's body protection true element is also one size smaller.

"In the end"

As far as his eyes could see, Ye Chen saw the bottom of the pool, which was a hard rock, with a silver-black glow in some places, releasing a pale silver glow outward, and it was this pale silver light that blocked Ye Chen's soul power.

"It's a soul stone, a whole piece of soul stone"

Ye Chen's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Soul stone is a kind of stone containing soul liliang, the value is extremely high, it is the most lacking necessity of the super sect, think about it, no matter how big a sect is, it is impossible to be boundless, and to reach the spiritual sea realm cultivation, the soul power can be explored within a radius of a hundred miles, if there is no thing that blocks the soul power, the entire sect is not exposed to the noses of others, although no one dares to deliberately use soul power to probe other people's sects, so as not to cause hostility, but once a big war happens, who cares so much.

It is not an exaggeration to say that on the market, a fist-sized soul stone can be sold for at least five thousand high-grade spirit stones, and the soul stone at the bottom of this pool of water is initially estimated to be more than a hundred times that of a fist, that is, five million high-grade spirit stones, which can almost make any Linghai Realm Grandmaster go crazy.

The visibility of the pool water was very low, and after knowing the reason why the soul power could not radiate, Ye Chen began to dig the silver-black soul stone.

The first soul stone was dug up, the size of a washbasin.

The second piece is a little smaller and also the size of a skull.

The third piece is the largest, the size of a bathtub.

Digging out three soul stones, Ye Chen released his soul power, this time, the soul power finally radiated unimpeded, and the entire pool had no secrets at all.

What Ye Chen didn't know was that in the passage on the side of the bottom of the pool, there was a faint pair of white-gold pupils staring at him, and Ye Chen's soul power probed the past and found nothing, and the two were more than a hundred zhang away, and this white-gold pupil could still see Ye Chen.

The white-golden pupils slowly came out of the passage and quietly approached Ye Chen.

"The reason why the soul power can't radiate is clear, but where does the pressure in the pool water come from, what's going on, the pressure has increased, and it has increased madly. ”

Ye Chen felt that something was wrong, and his hairs stood up.

rumble

At this moment-

A huge winding black shadow shot towards Ye Chen, the speed was unbelievable, as if the resistance of the pool water did not exist.

"There are monsters"

Ye Chen's soles kicked the ground and rushed towards it, on the way, his body turned in the air, looking at the place where the fluctuations were most violent, this look made his scalp numb, and he saw that in his sight, a huge white python swam over, the python's body length was not clear, but its body was thicker than a water tank, and the scales covering the whole body were only the size of a wine glass, which was very fine.

And the belly of the python has four claws, which are extremely sharp and resemble the dragon's claws.

This is a dragon, a pure dragon.

roar

As soon as the dragon roared, the violent pressure increased suddenly, and the entire pool boiled, as if an active volcano was buried at the bottom, and now the volcano has erupted.

Ye Chen's rise speed is very fast, but in the water, how can he catch up with the dragon, the white dragon's body swims away, like a white ghost, instantly approaching Ye Chen's three zhang away, opening his bloody mouth, and biting towards Ye Chen.

"Thunder Lion Change"

There was no time to draw the sword, Ye Chen clenched his fist with his right hand, and the thunder and lightning lion took shape, and a punch slammed into the head of the white dragon.

There was a loud bang

Ye Chen's whole person was overturned, and under the furious liliang of the white dragon, his fist strength couldn't even make the other party pause.

Liliang is very different

"Is this Jiaolong's liliang? It's just a praying mantis blocking the car. ”

Ye Chen was shocked by Jiaolong's liliang and his hands and feet were weak, his head was dizzy, and his shoulder hit the rock wall on the side of the pond, knocking out a big hole, and the whole person fell into it.

The white dragon did not pause at all, and rushed towards Ye Chen's location, opening its teeth and claws, roaring like thunder...... ，
