Chapter 508: Chapter 380: Advanced Ice Control, Eighth Stage Condensation
Soul Hall Inner Hall
“Master Yu, I have found the person you asked me to search for who has been selling Fox Spirit Items in various regions. His name is Shen Yicheng. He is a very capable operator in the Business a.s.sociation in recent years, and he himself is also a second-tier powerful person. This Shen Yicheng acquired a large number of Fox Spirit Items through his operations in the Business a.s.sociation and then sold them in various regions. Once someone was willing to buy them, he deliberately delayed the time. This phenomenon has appeared in various regions, but because the transactions were all completed in the end, there is no ground for any accusations against him.” A Soul Hall member was half-kneeling in front of Master Yu, narrating the situation.
“Did you find out where this man has been?” Master Yu asked.
“We did, during that time he indeed appeared in Zhanli Realm, but whether he entered Colorful Dome City is not something we could find out. This person is cautious and careful, and all his actions seem upright and proper. Even this Fox Spirit Item incident did not cause any problems.” The Soul Hall member replied.
Master Yu frowned. His investigation of this Fox Spirit Item incident was not simply because of Chu Mu’s matter. In fact, Master Yu had been investigating a more important matter, which was who exactly had instructed to kill his son, Yu Lang.
When Master Yu arrived in Li City, he had already speculated that Yu He was just a small role. There was definitely a hidden mastermind behind Yu He, who intentionally provoked the conflict between Soul Hall and Elemental Gate by killing Yu Lang. Relying on his own means, Master Yu had slowly traced the investigation to a man named Shen Yicheng in the Business a.s.sociation.
“Master Yu, there are quite a few ambitious people among the other powers. They know that their actions will be easily detected by us, and they will have trouble escaping once detected. Therefore, they let the young generation carry out many things. In this way, they can achieve their goals and hide in the background. If anything goes wrong, they will shift the blame to the conflict within the young generation and escape responsibility. As the young generation is not strictly bound by the rules of the major powers, they can fight, kill, and conspire as long as they have some means. In my opinion, there should be an even bigger master behind Shen Yicheng.” The Soul Hall member a.n.a.lyzed.
Master Yu naturally knew that a young man like Shen Yicheng could not possibly instigate a conflict between the two major powers. Although he could not be completely sure, he could at least narrow down the list of suspicious individuals with great ambition.
However, now everyone involved holds a high position, and it is impossible to bring down the other party without absolute evidence.
Even if Shen Yicheng is a major suspect, Master Yu cannot abuse his power to deal with him, because Shen Yicheng is a member of the younger generation.
This is like a game of chess. If Master Yu makes his move too early, the opponent hiding in the background will still be hidden. If he makes another move, he may lose…
Being impulsive is the biggest failure of a palace master. Now, Master Yu must deploy people to continue the investigation secretly and clear up the matter completely, before making the next decision and ultimately taking down the opponent.
Since the opponent is playing the card of the younger generation, Master Yu will naturally deal with him in the same way. So the best way is to have one of his young and talented subordinates confront Shen Yicheng!
Master Yu stroked his chin, contemplating. Shen Yicheng is a difficult character for the Business a.s.sociation to handle. Although Master Yu has many talented subordinates, it’s difficult to find someone who can truly deal with Shen Yicheng on their own merit.
“Where has the Eighth Young Master gone recently?” Master Yu asked.
“The Eighth Young Master seems to have gone on an anonymous experience and is now nowhere to be found.” The Soul Hall member replied.
“What about Sai Ren? Although she is female, she has considerable skills.”
Master Yu shook his head, “Still lacks the sharpness.”
“What about Li Hen’s younger brother, Li Zhan? His strength and means are beyond his peers, with a similar style as Li Hen. He should be competent.”
Master Yu thought for a moment, but eventually shook his head, “He seems mature, but he is still a bit impetuous.”
Chu Mu was unconscious for about three days, and when he woke up, his head was still a bit dizzy, which should be the sequela left by the Ninth Level Wind skill.
When Chu Mu woke up, he found that all his wounds had healed and his soul power was about 70% recovered.
“Young Master, I am glad you finally woke up.” Jia Jing saw Chu Mu sitting up and mobilizing his muscles, hurriedly jogging over with a smile on her face.
“Yeah, where are my soul pets?” Chu Mu asked.
“Hiss~”
As soon as Chu Mu asked, the white feather from the shadow beside the screen moved slowly, followed by the sinister black body also appearing, slowly walking over to Chu Mu’s bedside.
Chu Mu comfortingly stroked the dream horn of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and its eyes focused on Chu Mu’s bedside, reminding Chu Mu that the s.p.a.ce Ring was on the table beside him.
Chu Mu put the ring on his hand, probed his soul into it, and found that the prohibition he had set up had not been forcibly broken by anyone, which meant that no one had tampered with the ring.
“Young Master, you really are brave, rescuing Miss Tinglan. Miss Tinglan heard that you might wake up today and has already come to visit you several times. She must want to thank you.” Jia Jing said with an admiring smile.
Chu Mu merely nodded and asked, “Have you found the Ice attribute spirit items you were helping me look for?”
“Yes, if you need them, I’ll go and buy them for you right now. You haven’t used your privileges this month,” Jia Jing said.
“Do it as soon as possible.” Chu Mu could still vaguely feel the high temperature of the Demon Flame. In order to prevent the reappearance of the Nightmare Demon Soul s.n.a.t.c.h, it was necessary to take the Ice attribute spirit items.
Jia Jing was very efficient in her work, and soon bought a Level 8 Spirit Ice Dew for Chu Mu at a price of 35 million.
The Spirit Ice Dew was stored in a medicine bottle that could isolate any energy. Without a special container, it wouldn’t take long for the surrounding land to be covered with frost for several kilometers.
Chu Mu had Jia Jing wait outside the door while he connected his soul to the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s soul using Soul Sense. This way, when he took the Ice attribute spirit items, the Ice-Feathered Spirit would also benefit.
Of course, Chu Mu couldn’t just drink the Spirit Ice Dew directly. Even with a strong physique, he would be frozen into an ice cube.
Still, using Soul Sense as a guide, Chu Mu slowly led the icy energy of the Spirit Ice Dew into his body, gradually merging it into his soul…
At first, the high temperature of the soul could easily destroy the Level 8 Spirit Ice Dew. However, as Chu Mu introduced more and more icy energy, the Demon Flame gradually became less overbearing…
Chu Mu was very careful throughout the process. Introducing too much ice energy could easily cause frostbite, while too little would not suppress the soul’s Demon Flames effectively.
After a long time, Chu Mu finally exhaled a long breath. Cold air emerged from his nose and mouth. Once the Demon Flame was suppressed, Chu Mu felt much more comfortable. Otherwise, the high temperature of the soul would be like being wrapped in illness, making it impossible to achieve the most vigorous mental state.
Chu Mu knew that he would have to take these expensive Ice attribute spirit items within the next two months to sustain his life. Now, it was just slightly suppressed.
“Ling~”
Suddenly, an excited cry came from the Soul Pet s.p.a.ce. It was the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
A joy welled up in Chu Mu’s heart. The Ice-Feathered Spirit had entered metamorphosis!
The Ice-Feathered Spirit, which had been hovering at the Seventh Rank Ninth Stage for a long time, finally crossed the bottleneck and entered the Eighth Stage under the stimulation of the Ice attribute spirit items!
As Chu Mu had previously estimated, the Ice-Feathered Spirit didn’t stop at the Eighth Rank First Stage after its metamorphosis but grew continuously and directly reached the Eighth Rank Third Stage.
What made Chu Mu even more surprised was that, along with the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s metamorphosis and growth, the blue light effect on its body became even more profound, and the chill on its body grew more intense!
Advanced Ice Control!
After stepping into the Eighth Stage, the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s Power Crystal had reached the level of Advanced Ice Control. It could be said that the Ice-Feathered Spirit was now only one step away from the Ice Colored Glaze!
When Chu Mu first left the West Region, the Ice Colored Glaze seemed so unreachable. He kept striving towards that goal, and now the Ice-Feathered Spirit had reached Advanced Ice Control. As long as its strength increased one more time, the Ice-Feathered Spirit would become a powerful Ice attribute soul pet that controlled Ice Colored Glaze!
“Its defense has also reached Level Eight Intermediate, good.” Chu Mu smiled. With the control of Advanced Ice Control, Ice-Feathered Spirit’s damage capacity would take another step forward, and Chu Mu would be able to handle a Ninth Rank Commander with ease the next time.
“Ling~Ling~”
The Ice-Feathered Spirit was also excited and wanted to find an opponent to test its new strength.
“Don’t worry, you’ll have a chance to show off. You should rest and stabilize your strength for now,” Chu Mu said to the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
The Ice-Feathered Spirit obediently went back to sleep. It was best for a soul pet that had just completed metamorphosis to enter a deep sleep, as the changes in their body would require self-adjustment and adaptation.
“Young Master is already awake, but he’s now strengthening his soul pets and doesn’t want to be disturbed,” came Jia Jing’s voice from outside the door.
“He just woke up and now he’s strengthening soul pets. Is he crazy about cultivation?” Another woman’s voice slowly came out.
“Indeed, he is a cultivation maniac. Strengthening shouldn’t take too long; we can wait here,” a gentle voice came out, clearly belonging to Ting Lan.
