Chapter 373: Extreme North

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

In the far north, in a world of ice. In the vast snow, a few eggshell-shaped shields suddenly appeared.

They stood on the tip of a protruding glacier and looked at the endless plain in front of them.

“Wow, why is this place so big? How long will it take to reach the end?”

This was the first time Hu Qian had seen such a scene since she was young.

After Li Yuanqing was done with Ping City, he set off for the extreme north to find the factory of the Black Dragon that Bai Mei had mentioned.

On the way, he also brought those little fellows along. Although he was their master, he had indeed taken less care of those two fellows recently.

Hu Qian was originally quite close to the two of them. In addition, she was quite smart and Li Yuanqing liked her, so he brought her along.

“Master, where will the factory you mentioned be?”

Li Yuanqing had already briefly introduced that place to them. The children naturally did not understand the meaning of the so-called Immortal World, but a place that could interest Li Yuanqing so much must be very, very powerful.

“Master, is there really so many spirit stones in that factory?”

Liu Wen looked up at the light yellow screen that enveloped them.

The air in the extreme north was very cold. If an ordinary person stood here for a second, they would probably be frozen into ice.

They had Li Yuanqing’s protection, so they did not have to worry. They could still be active here like in Ping City and did not feel any difference.

Although Hu Qian’s family was not a top-notch family in the past, they were still considered above average in the entire Ping City. Even when they had declined, they still had a certain amount of experience.

However, not many people had seen hundreds of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones.

The three little fellows yearned for this legendary place that Li Yuanqing was talking about.

However, Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi had gained some knowledge. They had always lived in Li Yuanqing’s domain. They had never thought about the value of those treasures.

If all those treasures were converted into spirit stones, these hundreds of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones would probably be just a fraction of that. However, they naturally did not know about this.

“I plan to take these spirit stones back and use them as expenses for the academy. They should be able to cover the general expenses for a few years.”

Liu Wenqing looked at Li Yuanqing curiously and asked, “Master, I see that you’ve done your best for the academy, but the people before couldn’t wait to hide their things in their chests, afraid that others would see them. Why are you so generous as to let others take everything for free?”

Li Yuanqing patted Liu Wen’s head and said to him earnestly, “If you want to be a true leader, don’t be too calculative. Being strong as a whole is true strength. Being strong as an individual is not very useful.”

“But Master, even among the humans, they are all people who kill each other. From what I know, I’m afraid humans are even more ruthless to their own people.”

Liu Wen had always been brooding over these things.

“Don’t fuss over it.”

Li Yuanqing did not say anything else.

After the four of them left the glacier, they continued forward. Under Li Yuanqing’s protection, they moved very quickly. The scenery outside turned into a stream of light and flew past them.

White streams of light flew past them. It was as if they were in a gorgeous passageway.

This glacier world was very large, thousands of kilometers from end to end. Even with Li Yuanqing’s strength, it took him a long time to search the entire world.

Unfortunately, even though Li Yuanqing and the others had searched through all these places, they still did not find the so-called factory.

“Master, are we in the wrong place? I don’t see anything up here. It seems very clean.”

Yang Tianqi had been following Li Yuanqing’s gaze and searching carefully below. However, he still did not find the legendary factory. If there was really such a huge factory, it should be very obvious.

However, Li Yuanqing had been searching for a long time, but he still could not find the legendary factory. It seemed like they had to give up.

The four of them landed on the glacier. Li Yuanqing stretched out his index finger and drew a circle under his feet on the ice.

The three youths stood guard beside the eggshell and watched carefully. They did not know what their master was doing.

After drawing this circle perfectly, Li Yuanqing seemed to be quite satisfied and silently took a step back.

After Li Yuanqing retreated, the circle that was originally only a white scratch slowly began to emit white smoke. The lines of the circle seemed to have a very high temperature. They kept burning the ice at the side, and the ice began to melt.

A circle of ice that was hundreds of feet thick was melted by a line.

All of this happened in a very short period of time. The three youths widened their eyes as they watched the small circle gradually melt the thick glacier until it became a circular hole. There was warm water flowing slowly below.

“Master, what is this move? It looks very powerful. I want to learn this.”

Yang Tianqi looked at Liu Wen helplessly and said, “Look at how ignorant you are. This thing is not a special technique. As long as you have enough spiritual energy and condense your spiritual energy to a sufficiently condensed state, then engrave it on this ice, your spiritual energy will be constantly consumed and slowly fall, finally becoming this effect.”

Liu Wen had thought that it was very magical just now. After hearing Yang Tianqi’s words, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He said stubbornly, “You make it sound so easy. If you have the ability, come and try. Let’s see if you can melt this hundreds of feet thick ice with this line.”

“Of course not. Master has deep internal energy. How can I compare to him?”

Just as the two children were arguing, large bubbles suddenly appeared where the water was originally steaming.

The huge bubble rolled for a while before a half-human, half-fish demon emerged from below. The demon stretched out half of its body from the steaming water.

“Who is it?”

The demon jumped out of the warm water and landed on the ice. It held a trident in its hand and looked at Li Yuanqing while panting.

“You called me up, right?”

This person looked at Li Yuanqing in surprise. This kid’s strength was very strong, and he could not figure it out. He did not know where this guy came from.

Li Yuanqing asked him directly, “I came here to find the legendary spirit stone factory. Do you know where the Black Dragon placed that factory?”

The demon looked at Li Yuanqing’s face in confusion. Although this guy looked quite scary, he was just a young kid.

What right did he have to be so arrogant and say that he wanted to find the Black Dragon’s factory? Was that a place that a human kid like him could step foot in?

“Kid, I don’t care where you heard this news, but you came here for nothing. I advise you to leave this place early. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences if Lord Black Dragon finds out.”

“In that case, you should know where the factory is. I’ll give you a chance to say it as soon as possible. Don’t force me to be rough.”

“What?” The demon could not believe that Li Yuanqing would say such a thing. Were these humans rebelling now? “I think you’re tired of living. You lowly humans are only worthy of being slaves. How dare you brag to me here?”

He turned around and saw that there was actually a little fox following among these people. The member of the Demon Fox Clan was following behind them as if nothing had happened. She did not look like their master at all.

“So it’s you. But your Demon Fox Clan only has this much strength. You still want to encroach on the treasure land of the Black Dragon? I think you’re very muddle-headed!”

He thought that the ones who were going to attack this time were from the Demon Fox Clan. He actually did not hear about the changes in the outside world at all.

Liu Wen was very puzzled. Everything this guy said was so strange, as if he was an old fellow who had not been out of the mountains for decades.

“I say, sir, do you understand the situation? There are no demons outside now. How dare you be so arrogant?”

This person’s expression changed. He glared at Liu Wen and berated, “How dare you humans! I’m talking to your master. It’s not your turn to interrupt. Your Demon Fox Clan actually wants to have evil thoughts. Why did only this little girl come?”

Li Yuanqing looked at this guy helplessly. This person spoke too much nonsense.

“Shut up.”

After saying that, he raised his hand. The merman felt as if he had suddenly been shackled.

The shackles bound him tightly, as if there were countless large chains binding him bit by bit, making him unable to move.

“What are you going to do? Who are you?”

At this moment, the merman had not expected that he would be controlled by a human to this extent. This was really a great humiliation.

“I’m warning you humans. If you don’t let go of me, Lord Black Dragon will definitely not let you off!”

Liu Wen really couldn’t take it anymore. He looked at this guy helplessly and said, “Bro, how long has it been since you went out? The world outside has long changed. The demons have all fallen. And that black dragon you mentioned. Do you know where the black dragon has run off to? How can he help you?”

“Nonsense. You humans are indeed not of our race, so your hearts are definitely different. You won’t give up on killing us demons! We shouldn’t have left you humans behind back then. Now, we’ve indeed raised a tiger to cause trouble!”

Li Yuanqing was furious with this stupid guy. He used a little strength in his hand and this guy’s throat was immediately grabbed, making him unable to speak.

“It’s still my question just now. Where is Black Dragon’s factory? If you don’t say it, you’ll lose your life. I believe you’ve already understood what I’m talking about!”

Li Yuanqing slowly let go of the person again and he hurriedly panted. He looked at Li Yuanqing in surprise.

“You will definitely suffer retribution. Lord Black Dragon will not let you off!”

“So much nonsense! Then I’ll find it myself.”

Li Yuanqing exerted a little force with his hand, and the entire body of the merman in front of him twisted extremely. His neck instantly became as thick as a thumb, and his entire head was pinched until it was black and purple. The blood all over his body was firmly restrained. He could no longer breathe the air of this world, and he could not even stay alive.

A few seconds later, the merman’s body completely went limp. His blood was so frozen that he could not move and was frozen into an ice sculpture.

The trident in his hand fell to the ice with a clang, and his body was casually thrown here by Li Yuanqing.

“Master, I didn’t expect that there are demons here who don’t even know what happened outside. They’re still here expressing their loyalty to that black dragon. That guy has long fled somewhere else.”

Li Yuanqing was also very surprised that there were so many secrets hidden under this huge glacier. Could the factory that they had been searching for so long be hidden under this glacier?

After half an hour, the four people had already disappeared. Instead, they had become four strange-looking demons.

The leader had a muscular human body on the upper half and a fat fish tail on the lower half. His appearance and style was exactly the same as the guy on the ground.

Liu Wen turned into a shrimp soldier with a prawn shell on his head, while Yang Tianqi carried a thick crab shell on his back. As for Hu Qian, she had turned into a jellyfish with a transparent body that flickered with faint fluorescent light.

The three children had never come into contact with such a powerful transformation technique before. This time, they teased each other.

“Alright, stop fooling around. I’m still talking.”

After Li Yuanqing was done, he instructed the three of them.

“The three of you should speak less later. One of their palaces should be below. Try your best to find the factory first after you enter. It’s best not to care about anything else. There’s no need to disturb these demons if they’re living here.”

“Yes, Master. We’re all clear.”

“And once we get down to the water, you have to use your own power to keep yourselves warm. We can’t keep doing this. It’ll arouse suspicion.”
