514 The Next Move
Legend has it that the ice would not transform into ice marrow for ten thousand years!
The ice marrow did not melt for ten thousand years and absorbed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth.
Mo City, north of Ha City, was the northernmost city of the Dragon Kingdom.
Further north was the outer region wars. It was an icy plain. The temperature was no less than -10 degrees Celsius all year round. The environment was very harsh, and even monsters rarely stepped foot in it.
It was said that on the vast ice plain, there was a huge ice marrow that had absorbed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth for ten thousand years, producing the purest lotus flower. It was the most extreme Ice Lotus. People often called it the Polar Ice Lotus.
Back then, a level-96 king went deep into the icy plains and took the Polar Ice Lotus from the ice marrow. During the process, something strange happened.
The lotus seed in the Polar Ice Lotus gained self-awareness and exploded with shocking strength, severely injuring the level-96 king. The level-96 king used all his skills to return to the Dragon Kingdom.
The Ice Lotus was one with the lotus seed. Even if it was the most extreme Polar Ice Lotus, it should be the same.
“So, you suspect that the flower in my hand is the Polar Ice Lotus from back then?”
The old beggar narrowed his eyes, his face gloomy.
“You want to take back the lotus seed and make it a true Polar Ice Lotus?”
“Yes.” Lu Benwei nodded.
“Are you crazy? Even a level-96 king was seriously injured. If that lotus seed sneezed, you would probably be frozen into ice.” The old beggar could not help but shiver just by imagining it.
Lu Benwei’s expression was firm. “But I have to go.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Save them!”
Lu Benwei turned around and took out the giant stone tablet.
“What kind of unlucky thing is this? Take it away.” The old beggar was frightened from the bottom of his heart.
“Giant Stone Tablet.”
The old beggar’s face turned pale. “Don’t tell me you’re going to the Giant Kingdom?!”
“That’s just a legend. It’s hard to say if it’s true!”
The old beggar traveled around and naturally heard some legends about the Giant Kingdom.
“Senior, don’t be anxious. Do you see what’s written in the ancient text?”
The old beggar shook his head and stared at it carefully for a while.
Time passed minute by minute. The old beggar watched for nearly five minutes.
Lu Benwei looked at the time and said, “Senior, did you see anything?”
The old beggar looked up. “Ah, no. I don’t know the words on it.”
The corners of Lu Benwei’s mouth twitched as he scolded, “Old b*stard, why are you looking at it for so long if you don’t know how to read? After all this time, you’re illiterate!”
“You know how to read?”
“Of course, I do!”
The old beggar was so angry that he raised his hand and was about to slap Lu Benwei’s face.
“You know the words, but you’re still keeping me in suspense!”
Lu Benwei raised his hand and begged for mercy. Only then did the old beggar give up.
“Tell me, what is it?”
“Actually, I can only understand a little.”
“Cut the crap and tell me what you know!” The old beggar urged.
Lu Benwei pondered for a while and began to explain in detail, “In the Giant Kingdom, there’s an endless fire domain. If mortals want to walk here, they have to obtain the most extreme ice in the world. That’s it”
“That’s it?” The old beggar tilted his head. “You’re not much smarter than me!”
“As long as I’m better than an illiterate like you!” Lu Benwei teased.
“Screw you!” the old beggar cursed.
Suddenly, his expression froze and he said, “Repeat it for me.”
Although Lu Benwei did not understand, he still said, “In the Giant Kingdom, there’s an endless fire domain. If mortals want to walk here, they must obtain the most extreme ice in the world.”
“Are these words all from this stone tablet?” the old beggar asked again.
“Not a word less.”
“Which part?”
“Here.” Lu Benwei pointed with his finger. “What’s wrong?”
The old beggar slapped his head. “F*ck, he’s so mysterious. Isn’t the person who carved this stone tablet a human? A mortal! Is he the emperor?”
Lu Benwei was amused. “Who cares? Maybe it’s a monster that carved this stone tablet. It’s just waiting for you to take the bait.”
“F*ck you. I’m old and my meat has long lost its taste.” the old beggar cursed.
“Hehe, you don’t have to eat it. Can’t you just stew it?”
“You brat, are you cursing me to death?!”
The old beggar ran to the door, picked up the bamboo cane, and was about to hit him.
Lu Benwei begged for mercy repeatedly before stopping.
“Speaking of which, do you really want to go to such a dangerous place for an empty thing?” The old beggar squatted on the chair and asked.
...
“Of course, I have to save someone.”
“Then what are you doing in Ha City these few days?”
“To heal my soul.”
“Ah?” The old beggar was shocked. “Your soul is injured?”
“What else can I do?” Lu Benwei rolled his eyes. “Do you think I’m as lucky as you?”
“I need a spirit herb called the Nascent Soul Fruit. I want to come to Ha City to collect it. My strength isn’t even one-tenth of what it used to be. It will take more effort to find it.”
As soon as Lu Benwei finished speaking, the bamboo cane in the old beggar’s hand fell to the ground with a thud.
“What’s wrong, old fart? Do you feel so sorry for me when you see me injured?”
The old beggar ignored Lu Benwei and kept muttering, “It’s over, it’s over.”
“What’s wrong, old b*stard?” Lu Benwei felt that the old beggar was a little weird and felt puzzled.
The old beggar chuckled. “Grandson, do you know anything about Ha City?”
...
“Of course, I do! Ha City is located in the northern part of the Dragon Kingdom. The environment is harsh, and it’s close to the outer realm. The power structure is a little loose, so the security environment here is very poor. There are many gangs, and there are many idle social hunters.”
As Lu Benwei spoke, his heart skipped a beat.
“Old b*stard, are you in trouble?”
The old beggar chuckled. “It’s not me who’s causing trouble. It’s the two of us.”
“Don’t give me that. I’ve been staying here and haven’t gone anywhere!”
Lu Benwei cut the old beggar in time.
“They came looking for me, and I said I didn’t know you. It’s not a matter of whether I know you or not. It’s just that when I wreaked havoc in someone’s casino, I mentioned your name!”
“What?” Lu Benwei jumped up from his chair. “Are you talking about my name or the casino? Am I really your grandson?!”
Lu Benwei was so angry that he cursed.
“Hey, hey, hey, what a mess of seniority!”
The old beggar pouted in dissatisfaction.
“I used your name to do good deeds.”
“What good can you do at the casino? Did you lose money?”
The old beggar shook his head. “No, and I won quite a bit.”
