Chapter 1686: Chapter 1686: Is There Something Strange About the Water?
An Jiuyue lifted her head and looked around, but she didn’t see anything.
“Where is the Blood-colored Ice Lotus?”
The voice that had reached her ears just now was that of a stone person.
He had said that there was a Blood-colored Ice Lotus on the peak of Jade Cloud Mountain, which would be of great help in dealing with the Evil Spirit Universe in the future, but she had looked around and seen nothing.
“How come I haven’t seen it, Qian Jiyun, have you seen any special herbs?” She turned her gaze toward Qian Jiyun and asked him.
“During the battle with the giant python earlier, I saw a green lotus over there. I’m not sure if it’s the Blood-colored Ice Lotus you’re talking about,” Qian Jiyun recalled the lotus that had just bloomed in the small pond they had seen earlier.
That must be it, but it’s not blood-colored, it’s green.
“Where is it, that’s the one.”
An Jiuyue’s eyes lit up, she reached out to grab Qian Jiyun’s hand, wanting him to lead her there.
She had read the ancient medical texts unique to Wulong Mountain, which recorded the Blood-colored Ice Lotus as being green, but only in the morning would dew condense on the petals of the lotus.
However, the dew wasn’t blood-colored, it was purple, and the only reason it was called Blood-colored Ice Lotus was because the name sounded more domineering.
Although the Blood-colored Ice Lotus wasn’t a herb, it was able to be recorded in ancient medical texts because it was, in itself, a Sacred Item for Artifact Refining.
According to the records, weapons refined from the Blood-colored Ice Lotus could slow the opponent’s movements, thus giving oneself a chance to catch a breath and subdue or kill the enemy.
However, such weapons could only be used once, and would be useless the second time.
Therefore, the Blood-colored Ice Lotus was mostly used to refine hidden weapons, while larger weapons typically weren’t forged from it.
Soon, Qian Jiyun had brought An Jiuyue to the edge of a small pond.
It was a peak that was exposed to sunlight all year long, and definitely would not have much rain, yet the water in this pond was still there, glistening.
Even though everything around it was Ice Sealed, there was no sign that the water in this pond was about to freeze.
“Is there something strange about this water?”
Though it was a question, Qian Jiyun’s tone was very certain.
“Hmm.”
An Jiuyue nodded.
If there wasn’t anything strange, it would have been Ice Sealed already.
But, if the water wasn’t strange, it wouldn’t be able to nurture a Blood-colored Ice Lotus either. If it wasn’t strange, that would be the real surprise.
“I’m thinking of creating a pond inside the s.p.a.ce, and take both the Blood-colored Ice Lotus and the pond into it,” she said after some thought.
The water inside the s.p.a.ce might not be suitable for the Blood-colored Ice Lotus to thrive, so she could only move the entire pond in as well, but… she looked hesitantly at the pond.
Who knows what else might be in the pond?
Or rather, what could be beneath it? She felt that they should be cautious.
“Qian Jiyun, be careful later on, there might be giant pythons underneath for all we know.”
“I am here.”
Qian Jiyun gave her just three words.
He naturally wouldn’t underestimate the pond with its mysterious quality. Everything around was Ice Sealed, but those two giant pythons didn’t emerge from this very pond.
They preferred to break through the ice rather than to be near the pond, which he had noticed early on.
“You can do whatever you want.”
“Mm.”
An Jiuyue responded softly.
