Chapter 170: Ice Spring Water

A stream of pure spiritual energy penetrated into Chen Yu's body through his pores, making him so comfortable that he almost moaned.

This Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring is indeed worthy of its reputation. The concentration of spiritual energy here is much stronger than that of the blessed lands outside.

He looked inward at his Dantian and saw that the originally thin true energy was now slowly growing stronger, like a trickle of water converging into a river.

"Awesome!" Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh. This cultivation speed was even faster than riding a rocket.

Next to him, Lin Qingxue sat cross-legged, with a layer of light ice mist surrounding her body. She looked like an ice and snow goddess, cold and noble.

She practiced her skills, absorbing the cold air from the ice spring. Her breath was steady and long, and she had obviously entered a deep state of cultivation.

Liu Ruyan chose to go near the fire spring. She was wearing a red long dress, as passionate and unrestrained as a flame.

She held the Fire Cloud Gourd in one hand and pinched the magic formula with the other, absorbing the energy of the fire spring. A layer of faint firelight surrounded her body, which set off her charming face and added a bit of enchantment.

The strong man Tie Niu simply took off his shirt, revealing his toned muscles, and jumped directly into the ice spring.

He shivered and laughed heartily, "It feels so good! Bathing in this ice spring water is so damn comfortable!"

Shangguan Wan'er hid far away. She was weak and could not withstand the extreme energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring. She could only meditate at the edge of the cave and absorb the escaping spiritual energy.

She was wearing the thick cloak that Chen Yu had given her. Her face was still pale and her lips were trembling slightly. It was obvious that she was still a little cold.

Chen Yu practiced for a while and felt that the true energy in his body was saturated, so he stopped practicing.

He opened his eyes, looked at the others, and found that everyone was still practicing, so he stood up and stretched his muscles.

"System, what is the use of the water from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring?" Chen Yu asked.

The system prompt sounded: "Ice spring water can be used to refine ice-attribute pills, and can also be used to temper the body and enhance ice-attribute spiritual roots.

Fire Spring Water can be used to refine fire-attribute elixirs, and can also be used to temper the body and enhance fire-attribute spiritual roots."

"Oh? It can also improve spiritual roots?" Chen Yu became interested. "Then can I improve all five elements of my spiritual roots?"

System: "It is theoretically possible, but it requires a large amount of ice spring water and fire spring water, and the process is very painful. Host, are you sure you want to try it?"

"Painful? How painful?" Chen Yu hesitated.

System: "Let me put it this way, with the host's current physical condition, if he jumps directly into the fire spring, he will be burned to ashes.

If you soak directly in the ice spring, you will be frozen into ice cubes."

Chen Yu shuddered and decisively gave up the idea. "Forget it, forget it. I'd better practice slowly. Safety first."

He walked to the ice spring, looked at the cold spring water, and rubbed his hands.

"This thing looks cold. Won't it freeze into a popsicle if you go down there?"

The system appeared in time: "Host, please do not question the system settings. The ice spring contains spiritual energy, which is very beneficial to cultivation. Taking a bath may even improve your cultivation and whiten your skin at the same time."

Chen Yu rolled his eyes. "System, when did you learn how to sell?"

He took off his coat and carefully dipped his feet into the spring water. A biting chill instantly spread throughout his body, and Chen Yu shivered.

"Hiss—it's so damn cold!"

He gritted his teeth, plunged into the spring and began to collect the water.

The ice spring water was icy cold and Chen Yu felt that his body was about to be frozen.

He practiced his skills to resist the cold, while trying to control his body and not let it tremble.

He took out a few jade bottles from his cloth bag and began to collect ice spring water.

"System, how do we preserve this ice spring water?" Chen Yu asked.

System: "Host, you can use a special jade bottle or an ice-attribute container to store it. Ordinary containers cannot withstand the coldness of the ice spring water and will be frozen and cracked."

Chen Yu looked at the jade bottle in his hand. Fortunately, he had bought a lot of good things in the market before, including several jade bottles specially used to store spiritual liquid.

He filled the jade bottle with ice spring water, then carefully put the cork on it and placed it in the cloth bag.

"Okay, the ice spring water is done, next is the fire spring water."

Chen Yu climbed out of the ice spring, his lips were purple from the cold and his teeth were chattering.

He walked to the fire spring and looked at the blazing flames. A wave of heat hit his face, making him take a few steps back.

"How do I get this fire spring water?" Chen Yu was in a dilemma. He couldn't just jump in, right?

Even if he had the system to protect him, he didn't want to experience the feeling of being roasted.

"System, is there any way to safely retrieve the Fire Spring Water?"

Chen Yu asked the system for help.

The system was silent for a moment, then said, "Host, you can try to wrap the jade bottle with your true qi, and then use your true qi to control the jade bottle to enter the fire spring and collect the spring water."

"Qi control? Such a high-end operation, can I do it?" Chen Yu doubted his ability.

"Host, please believe in yourself, you are the fattest!" the system encouraged.

Chen Yu: ...

"Can you say something nice?" Chen Yu rolled his eyes.

"Come on, host. I'm rooting for you!" The system changed its tone.

Chen Yu took a deep breath and decided to give it a try. He sat cross-legged and practiced his skills, mobilizing the Qi in his body.

A light blue energy surged out of his body, enveloping his hands and an empty jade bottle.

He carefully controlled his true energy and moved the jade bottle slowly towards the fire spring.

As he got closer to the fire spring, the temperature became higher and higher, and Chen Yu felt that his true energy was being consumed rapidly.

"Damn! The fire is too hot!" Chen Yu couldn't help but complain. He felt like his hands were about to be roasted.

"Host, please hold on, we will succeed soon!" The system's voice sounded in his mind.

Chen Yu gritted his teeth, desperately outputting his true energy, controlling the jade bottle to move closer to the fire spring little by little.

Finally, the jade bottle came into contact with the fire spring water.

"Fuck-"

With a slight sound, a puff of white smoke emerged from the jade bottle.

Chen Yu was startled and thought the jade bottle was going to explode, so he quickly controlled the jade bottle away from the fire spring.

He carefully examined the jade bottle and found that it was not damaged, but the bottle body was a little hot.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it didn't explode.

He once again controlled the jade bottle to enter the fire spring. This time, he was more cautious and controlled the jade bottle to collect only a small amount of fire spring water.

After collecting the fire spring water, Chen Yu immediately controlled the jade bottle to fly back to him.

He pulled out the cork and a gust of hot air hit his face, making him feel like his face was about to be burnt.

He quickly put the cork on the bottle and put the jade bottle into the cloth bag.

"call--"

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally done.

He stood up and stretched his muscles. He felt as if he had run a marathon and his whole body was sore.

"System, your method is too laborious!" Chen Yu couldn't help but complain.

"Host, this is the safest method this system can think of."

The system said helplessly, "Who told you to collect the fire spring water?

Can't we just use ice spring water?"

"No! Ancient texts say that the Soul-Returning Grass must be watered with both the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Springs to unleash its true medicinal properties."

Chen Yu explained.

"Okay, the host is right." The system compromised.

Chen Yu looked at the others and found that they were still practicing, so he sat down cross-legged and began to recover his consumed true energy.
