Chapter 87: The Right Way To Use Take-Away Container
He let out a sigh and looked up to appreciate the full moon in the sky.
‘Hmm, beautiful!’
Daji looked at Li Nianfan and said, “Mr. Li, it’s getting late. Go and get some sleep.”
Li Nianfan nodded. “Yeah, it’s time to sleep.”
Daji asked softly, “Is there anything else I can do for you?”
“Do for me?” Li Nianfan halted slightly. This ancient woman was so kind. He smiled, “What’s there to do so late at night? Go and get some sleep!”
Moments later, he was laying in bed, thinking of some lingering fears. He sighed to himself. ‘Although I do know a few cultivators, it’s not very nice to keep asking them to protect me. Hopefully, Nanan will turn out to be a great cultivator. I think she’d be willing to protect me—her ordinary friend!’
...
Izumo Mountains.
Lin Mufeng and Old Man Sun seemed nervous. They were venturing further into the secret border.
When they first entered, everyone had their own intentions, trying to outsmart one another. However, after staying here for five days, they learned what teamwork was. There were many tests and dangers in the secret border, and after passing all the tests, they could only make it so far.
There were few rewards, too!
This made them feel less motivated. Was this a secret border with many dangers but no opportunity?
This secret border was so stingy! As mean as animals!
“Qingyang Elder, the secret border you found isn’t good! We’ve made a loss this time!” someone started to complain.
Instantly, someone added on, “Yeah, I’ve used up so many treasures in here. I won’t even be able to breakeven! How’re you going to compensate for my loss?”
“No way!” the Qingyang Elder shook his head furiously. “There was an Insight Interrogation at the entrance, followed by so many tests. This secret border must be something special! No way there’s nothing in here! Unless...unless the person who set this secret border up was just feeling bored!”
Lin Mufeng and Old Man Sun exchanged a look. They shared the same thought.
There was no doubt that there would be treasures in here. The fewer treasures they gained so far, the more they would get later on!
After all, they came here based on the hints given by the expert. Judging by the current situation, it meant that the refrigerator the expert mentioned was definitely something special.
The group continued walking on, feeling more doubtful than ever. Yet, they took each step cautiously.
Finally, the narrow path widened, leading to a clearing with a glowing light at the front. Anticipation appeared on their faces as they moved faster. The closer they got, the lower the temperature dropped. At the end of the path, a rush of cool air washed over them, causing them to shiver.
When they arrived at the end of the path, everyone was shocked! They were all overwhelmed with joy and ecstasy!
In front of their eyes was a grand hall. They could not tell how the hall used to look like in the past, but now, the entire hall was completely frozen—just like a frozen world!
Fog floated in the air. The cultivators had to endure another test!
On a pedestal in the middle of the hall was an azure blue hexagonal object made out of crystal. It sat quietly, exuding a terrifying chill!
“Refrigerator! It’s the refrigerator!” Lin Mufeng and Old Man Sun’s eyes sparkled as they called out in unison.
By then, their hearts had been completely won over by the expert. They knew for sure that this was the refrigerator the expert wanted!
He knew everything! He saw everything coming!
The other cultivators looked at them weirdly.
Someone could not help mocking them, “Haha! It’s so scary to be ignorant! What refrigerator! This is clearly an Ice-Crystal!” His eyes were filled with lust as he could not wait to claim the prize!
This was an Ice-Crystal!
It was not just him. Everyone else was staring at the Ice-Crystal as well, hearts trembling with desire!
The Ice-Crystal was likely to be the most precious treasure in the entire Immortal Realm in terms of its lifespan.
The Ice-Crystal could freeze anything and was shockingly powerful. Other than that, it could also freeze one’s lifespan!
The cultivators would spend most of their time in retreat, and one retreat would last up to a hundred years. If they could freeze their lifespans during the retreat, then they could keep themselves from aging which in return, would give them extra years to live!
Also, if they were dying from diseases or if they were heavily wounded, they could use this Ice-Crystal to freeze themselves so that they could be healed in the future.
The power of the Ice-Crystal would turn anyone crazy!
Especially now that the bridge to Immortality had broken, there was no hope in becoming an Immortal. The situation made this item more precious than ever!
What was the whole point of cultivating? All for longevity was it not? This Ice-Crystal could fake longevity!
When everyone else was still caught up with the surprise, a shadow dashed toward the item. By the time everyone realized what he was doing, he was already standing by the Ice-Crystal, reaching for it.
It was the Qingyang Elder!
“Stop!”
The rest of them were startled and instantly used their Spiritual Qi to turn into light, flying toward the Qingyang Elder.
However, the moment the Qingyang Elder placed his hand on the Ice-Crystal, the smile on his face stiffened. A piercing chill traveled from his hand to the rest of his body.
Fzzzz!
Instantly, his hand turned into ice.
The Qingyang Elder shivered and instantly tossed the Ice-Crystal away.
Another cultivator saw it and a look of delight appeared on his face. He instantly caught the Ice-Crystal.
Fzzz!
The look of delight was still on his face, but his entire body had already frozen over with the Ice-Crystal still resting in his hands.
“This, this...”
Everyone was shocked. They all stopped in their steps, not daring to get any closer.
What just happened was too terrifying! Even the Qingyang Elder who was in his Distraction realm could not touch this item! This showed how difficult the task was!
The feeling of not being able to get their hands on this treasure which was right in front of their eyes was driving everyone crazy!
Lin Mufeng stared at the Ice-Crystal without blinking. He was thinking of a strategy. He had no desire of keeping the item for himself. The only thing he was thinking about was how to get a hold of it to give it to the expert.
The Qingyang Elder sighed. “Just try your best. Whoever succeeds in getting a hold of the Ice-Crystal can keep it. No hard feelings.”
Instantly, all the cultivators used their own tactics, trying their best to get a hold of it. Some used fire while some used water, but none of them succeeded.
Suddenly, Lin Mufeng had a thought and he almost screamed out loud with excitement!
‘Oh, yeah! How could I forget about it!?
‘This was given to me by the expert. Why don’t I give it a try?’
He took out the take-away container and gradually approached the Ice-Crystal. He then carefully placed the Ice-Crystal into the container.
Even fire froze when touching the Ice-Crystal, yet, this container was still perfectly fine! The Ice-Crystal sat inside the container quietly, as if it had become an ordinary crystal.
It worked!
It actually worked!
Lin Mufeng’s heart was jumping with excitement and shock! By then, his admiration for the expert had become as intense as a tsunami!
Click.
As he placed the lid back onto the container, the chill from the Ice-Crystal seemed to be insulated as it vanished instantly. Even the ice in the hall started to melt.
