Chapter 53: The Little Sapling

The small lake of ice flame is three or four zhang in circumference, and the lake inside is like a burning flame, and the blue is cold, and a faint black mist floats three or four zhang above it.

In the area around the small lake, the temperature is extremely low, and Ye Quan can't get close at all, so he can only wait and see from afar.

After the black light reached the top of the Ice Flame Lake, it was mixed with those black mist, and then, the ice needle that had absorbed an unknown number of ghost qi black crystals and other things, the lines on its body suddenly shone brightly, and the black light burst out, Ye Quan's eyes were hurt by the black light, and he suddenly closed his eyes.

At the same time, its ears clearly heard a crisp sound in the distance.

"Click!"

And when Ye Quan opened his eyes and hurriedly looked, he saw a large black lacquer 'dough'-like substance like ink, floating above the small lake of ice flames.

This huge black dough seems to be about the same size as the small lake, and it seems to be getting smaller and smaller under the 'scorching' of the blue ice flame.

With just one cup of tea, the black dough had shrunk dozens of times, turning into a fist-sized black bead, and countless black unknown runes were floating on the surface of the bead, dripping and spinning.

The bead didn't know why, it suddenly shook, and then shot a black light at the No. 9 Ice Prison, and suddenly the ice on the surface of the No. 9 Ice Prison revealed a large hole, and a strange-shaped stone was rolled up by the black light and flew out of the big hole.

As soon as Ye Quan saw the strange shape, he immediately thought of the L.A. Outer City Fair, which was an item he had exchanged for a page of spells.

At that time, that page of spells was almost his only possession, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had bought it with all his fortune.

Of course, the reason why it was exchanged was that this treasure bottle reacted extremely strongly to it, and Ye Quan felt that once he missed it, he might never be able to touch it again in the future.

That's why I got it, I thought it was a treasure at first, but unfortunately no matter how Ye Quan fiddled with it, there was no reaction, and after a long time, Ye Quan basically forgot about it, and just threw it in the No. 9 Ice Prison at random.

I didn't expect it to change so much at this moment.

Ye Quan was stunned for a while anyway, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes, one was excited, the other was apprehensive, and the other was confused.

The unknown is always scary.

The fist-sized black bead, the surface runes flew around, and when the strange stone reached the vicinity of the black bead, the black bead suddenly became soft, and suddenly wrapped the strange stone, as if a black film was plated on the surface of the strange stone, making the strange stone bigger.

At this moment, the light blue ice flame on the surface of the Ice Flame Lake churned violently, and the strange stone that had turned into 'black' fell into the small lake with a 'plop'.

After the strange stone sank into the lake, the extremely violent blue 'flames' became more and more docile and smaller, and soon completely extinguished.

The lake was devoid of the blue flames of ice, and it seemed that the small lake had suddenly become extremely calm.

Ye Quan blinked, unconsciously clenched his fists, and secretly felt if it was a dream, but he didn't deceive himself, knowing that all this must be true.

At this moment, his black ice needle was gone, and it turned into a pile of 'ink' that wrapped the strange stone and sank into the lake.

That's the reality.

"What the hell is that stone?How did the ice flame on the lake go out?!" Ye Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of hesitation and curiosity in his eyes, and finally he gritted his teeth and slowly walked towards the ice flame lake with courage, intending to get closer to check the situation.

The black ice needle is gone, he is like he has broken off an arm and a leg, and it is natural that his strength will drop greatly, but he has encountered such an unfortunate thing, so he must know what is going on, right?

"Huh?"

Ye Quan was quite surprised to go all the way to the lake, but he didn't encounter the slightest cold air.

The strange Ice Flame Lake before this was soaring with cold flames, and the cold air was pressing, even if Ye Quan transported all his mana, he couldn't get close to it at all, if he forcibly approached, he would definitely be frozen and die of coldness.

And at this moment, the small lake of ice flames, which was so majestic, turned into an ordinary lake that could no longer be ordinary in the blink of an eye, and the burning ice flames disappeared. The astonishing chill was gone.

Even the faint black aura above before was gone.

What the hell is going on?

What happened before, what happened to the black beads and strange stones after they sank to the bottom of the lake, why did they sink to the bottom of the lake, and why did the little lake suddenly become ordinary after they sank to the bottom of the lake?

Everything smells of the unknown!

Time seemed to stand still at this point, and everything around it felt incredibly quiet and deserted.

Ye Quan's back was covered in a layer of cold sweat for a while.

He carefully observed the nooks and crannies of the small lake of Ice Flame, trying not to reveal a single corner, and he tore a strip of cloth from his body and threw it into the water.

Ye Quan breathed a sigh of relief, the strip of cloth had not changed in the slightest, and it was still the strip of cloth, indicating that the cold air was really gone.

Ye Quan tried to touch the lake water with his fingers again, and left as soon as he touched it, after a while, he felt that there was not the slightest discomfort, but it was slightly cold, and his heart suddenly felt relieved.

"Could it be that everything is my delusion, and the previous ice flame is just my illusion?"

Ye Quan began to get confused.

But then he saw a little green slowly emerging from the center of the lake!

Ye Quan was puzzled, and used his mana to his eyes, and suddenly saw that the green was real, but it was a little green shoot, as if it was a tree or a vine or the shoot of another plant.

The shoots are green as if they are about to drip water.

After looking at it for a while, Ye Quan's heart was awe-inspiring, and there was really something strange in his heart, and the young shoots were growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Compared with the growth rate of ordinary plants, it is more than ten times, or even dozens of times.

For Ye Quan, this kind of situation has never been encountered, even if he has read thousands of books in the cultivation world, but such a scene is unheard of.

"Sprouts that grow slowly?!"

With a slight apprehension, Ye Quan just watched its growth, and after an hour, the young shoot actually grew half an inch taller.

In this way, Ye Quan waited patiently by the lake, and did not dare to make other moves for the time being, just observed so quietly.

Time gradually passed, Ye Quan's eyelids were a little sleepy, counting the kung fu, it had been almost a full day and a few hours, and then I looked at the green shoots, which had already grown a little bit.

But it was the appearance of a small fruit tree sapling that seemed to be extremely weak.

It grew the fastest at first, but as time went on, it grew more and more slowly, so that finally, after an hour of growth, it was barely noticeable that it had changed in the slightest.

It seems that it can't move for a long time, Ye Quan can't help but secretly guess.

Although he didn't know much about plants, the appearance of this plant still made Ye Quan feel that it seemed to be just an ordinary 'gourd fruit tree'.

It's just that this seemingly 'ordinary' gourd fruit tree, but it definitely won't be 'ordinary', the previous majestic black gas, weird stones, and soaring ice flames, these combined, the final result was just a fruit tree sapling.

Could it be that the strange stone is a seed, the majestic black gas is the nourishment, and the soaring ice flame is the soil?

Ye Quan couldn't help but have a thought in his heart.

Thinking of this, the loss of the black ice needle in his heart has been diluted a lot, and he can't help but start to guess excitedly about the true origin of this 'fruit tree'.

"Could it be that some kind of spirit fruit fruit tree can produce fruits like second-grade spirit fruits and third-grade spirit fruits?"

"If that's the case, then everything will be easy, as long as I wait for the fruit tree to ripen, I only need to sell the fruit of this fruit tree, and I can exchange it for the cost of bidding for the 'Fire Lingzhi', and I don't even have to hunt demon beasts in the ''Fire Capital Mountain Range'. ”

However, Ye Quan only thought about it slightly, and then secretly shook his head, feeling that he was thinking too much about it, too simple, and too beautiful.

Not to mention, the unimaginably huge amount of Yin Qi ghost power absorbed by the black ice needle, the black spar, etc., even the ice flames that filled the lake were by no means simple, and after absorbing all of them, it only grew to the appearance of such a small sapling today, only a foot high.

When it grows into a big tree in the future, I don't know how many resources it will cost.

Counting on this guy, it seems that there is really no hope.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Ye Quan's eyes.

Then, he put the matter down, took out a little meat from the storage bag and ate it, and then took out a spirit stone and began to meditate, using mana to repair the wounds on the body.

"This fruit tree sapling is very similar to our potted gourd in the past!"

Ye Quan couldn't help but wander and secretly slandered.

(I checked it on the Internet, and in real life, the gourd that grows from the gourd fruit tree is not the kind of two bellies that everyone usually has, but a big belly, which can usually be used as a gourd scoop for water.) This kind of fruit tree, also known as cannonball fruit, may be involved in this aspect of the description in the future, but for the sake of reading effect, this gourd with one belly and two stomachs, you must not be too serious,)
