Chapter 127: Chapter 54: The Roadblocker (Seeking Investments and Follow-up Reads)
Feeling the icy chill in the palm of his hand, Lin Su couldn't help but shiver and hurriedly took out the jade box he had prepared in advance to carefully store the Cold Heart Jade Marrow before placing it inside the Space Ring.
Because he was about to enter the Nirvana Secret Realm to collect various supernatural resources, he had prepared all kinds of containers for storing supernatural resources in his Space Ring ahead of time.
This was called being prepared for any eventuality.
After securing this hard-earned level five resource, Lin Su patted Qiuqiu's head, "Alright, next we should head to the Nirvana Pool. With the Cold Heart Jade Marrow, the chances of you evolving into a stronger form under the influence of the pool have increased significantly."
"Mee!" (Great!)
"Oh, what about that Ice Armor Scorpion?" Lin Su asked, carrying Qiuqiu and taking a few steps before suddenly remembering the unfortunate Ice Armor Scorpion.
"Mee!" (I scared it off!)
"Scared it off?" Lin Su couldn't help but chuckle.
He had thought that as a guardian of the supernatural resource, the Ice Armor Scorpion would fight to the death. He hadn't expected it to ultimately choose to flee in the face of Qiuqiu's Frost Storm attack.
But this was good news.
"If that's the case, then we need to move even faster in case the Ice Armor Scorpion heals and comes back for revenge," Lin Su said with a slight smile, hurrying toward the snowy mountain, "Let's hurry over the snow mountain, head to the Nirvana Pool, evolve, and then come back."
"Mee! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ" (Charge!)
…
The rest of the journey went smoothly. Frost Eyes proved to be a great help, allowing Lin Su and his pet to avoid many areas inhabited by exotic beasts early on, successfully crossing the snowy mountain peak, and arriving on the side of the mountain near the Nirvana Pool.
Although they hadn't completely left the snowy mountain region, standing midway up the mountain on this side, Lin Su could already see the pond shimmering with multicolored radiance at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
Was that the Nirvana Pool?
The multihued glow emerging from the misty waters below colored everything in sight. Even though he was still on the snowy mountain, Lin Su could already feel the rich energy coming from ahead.
From within Lin Su's embrace, Qiuqiu poked out its head, its large eyes glistening with frosty light and shining brightly.
"Mee!" (I want to evolve there!)
Just by gazing from afar at the Nirvana Pool, the power that had been accumulating inside Qiuqiu began to grow restless, and the suppressed tiers seemed to become somewhat uncontrollable.
"Okay," Lin Su nodded and began running with Qiuqiu toward the foot of the snowy mountain.
Qiuqiu's heart was stirred with excitement, and so was he.
After spending so much time meticulously preparing energy potions and various evolutionary resources for Qiuqiu, even applying to study the evolution pattern of the resilient duck as a cover for Qiuqiu's evolution, wasn't it all for this very moment?
His pace quickened, the thick snow under his feet gradually getting shallower, from initially covering his shins to merely reaching his ankles.
The edge of the snowy mountain was now within sight.
Lin Su could see the clear waters of the pool and the mist above it. The five-colored radiance felt warm and comforting, while the mighty surge of energy made Lin Su marvel.
The Qiuqiu in his arms grew increasingly restless, its eyes filled with excitement.
Just as Lin Su and Qiuqiu were hastening toward the Nirvana Pool, a figure suddenly emerged from behind a hidden tree.
"Stop right there."
The somewhat gloomy voice came from the person who had just appeared.
"Tang Hao?" Lin Su's brow furrowed slightly as he looked at the newcomer, "What do you mean?"
Compared to when he first entered, Tang Hao's expression was colder, and there were bloodshot eyes that looked at Lin Su with hatred and resentment, which left Lin Su bewildered for a moment.
He didn't recall offending him, did he?
"I mean..." Tang Hao's gaze shifted to Qiuqiu in Lin Su's arms, his eyes showing some satisfaction.
Goose yellow light interwove beneath his feet, and soon, a rock-formed beast that resembled a human in shape and limbs, but only about a meter tall, walked out from the summoning light formation. The explosive release of its powerful energy and the elite-tier presence were unmistakable.
An earth-element, high-ranking commander species, the Rock Dwarf.
"Your journey in the secret realm ends here, so..."
"Will you crush the token yourself, or shall I do it for you?"
…
"Eh?"
The Seven-Colored Cloud Crane, who had previously been fiddling with an ancient mirror out of sheer boredom, suddenly let out a small exclamation.
"Elder Crane, what's wrong?" Qi Yunhan opened his eyes and softly inquired.
The Nirvana Secret Realm would open for two days, and during this period, the tokens for activating the secret realm needed to be embedded in the ancient mirror.
The token represented ownership of the Nirvana Secret Realm, a matter of great importance. Naturally, the three Beast Tamer experts wouldn't leave lightly. After a casual chat, they each found a spot nearby, sat cross-legged, entered into meditation, and waited for the disciples to emerge from the secret realm.
Upon Qi Yunhan's inquiry, the other two Beast Tamers also ceased their meditation, looking over with curiosity.
"Those little rascals who entered this time..." muttered the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane softly, "are a bit underhanded, aren't they?"
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Qi Yunhan frowned slightly.
Li Zhe, the president of the Celebration Beast Taming Union, approached. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen to the Beast Tamers who entered? Elder, please speak frankly. These are the fine seeds of our Southern Domain Beast Taming Union, and they must not be in danger within the secret realm."
