Chapter 253: Universe Gourd
The Ice Emperor was a bit flustered, how could this elder change so drastically in the blink of an eye? Just a moment ago, he was like a god, holy and inviolable, how could he suddenly become somewhat sneaky?
However, the Ice Emperor didn’t think too much about it. Many older elders have their quirks. Perhaps the elder in front of her is just like that.
“Elder, indeed, I don’t have any treasures that would catch your eye here. If there were, I would present it to you with both hands and arrange it impeccably,” the Ice Emperor said very grievously.
Fang Lin rolled his eyes. Probably, the Ice Emperor thought he wouldn’t be interested in her things.
If Fang Lin were still the Pill Sovereign from his previous life, perhaps he really wouldn’t be interested, but now that Fang Lin was down on his luck, her treasures were definitely valuable to him.
“Give me your best treasure,” Fang Lin was too lazy to chat with her, and directly demanded.
The Ice Emperor was really taken aback. Even though as a junior, respecting the elders with gifts was only right, someone who openly demanded gifts, was indeed quite rare.
But the Ice Emperor was really helpless. The Pill Sovereign was her senior. She was nothing in front of him. If she truly angered him, she might be obliterated from the world.
“Since the elder needs it, I would naturally not be stingy. However, here, I cannot present the treasure to you,” Ice Emperor said.
Fang Lin nodded and urged impatiently, “then let’s hurry out of here.”
The Ice Emperor grumbled in her heart, with your mighty Pill Sovereign method, isn’t returning soul to body as easy as flipping a hand?
The Ice Emperor waved her hand, everything around them immediately disappeared. Fang Lin’s spirit instantly returned to his body, and the Ice Emperor disappeared.
Fang Lin opened his eyes and found himself standing in a vast hall. He was surrounded by the people who had entered the Ice Palace with him. They all had their eyes closed, their presence weak to the extreme, each one standing there motionlessly.
Fang Lin knew that their spirits were also forced out of their bodies by the Ice Emperor, but since the Ice Emperor said that she didn’t deal with these people, Qing Jianzi and the others should be safe for now.
“Hey, aren’t you coming out yet?” Fang Lin shouted towards the surroundings.
Soon, Fang Lin saw a coffin hanging above the hall, a transparent coffin carved out of ice.
The body of the Ice Emperor was lying inside that ice coffin.
But at this moment, above that ice coffin, a dead body was floating. It was Li Tongtian, who had just died not long ago.
Li Tongtian was floating above the ice coffin, naturally he was already dead. However, his corpse had now become nourishment for the Ice Emperor to sustain her life.
The vital force of Li Tongtian’s whole body was being absorbed by the Ice Emperor. A strong fluctuation gradually emerged from the originally lifeless Ice Emperor in the coffin, which was observed by the naked eye.
Fang Lin’s eyelid twitched slightly, but his face remained calm, even though he was slightly nervous inside.
Return of spirit, which means the Pill Sovereign’s Flame in Fang Lin’s spirit couldn’t be utilized now. At this moment, he was just an ordinary Earth Element Martial Artist, and the Ice Emperor could smash Fang Lin into ash with a snap of her fingers.
But the more severe the situation, the more calm he needed to be. He absolutely could not expose any weakness, so he must keep up the act, otherwise the Ice Emperor would exploit any loophole, and then not only would Fang Lin die, everyone present would lose their lives.
Li Tongtian’s body was soon drained of the vital force and became a shriveled skin bag, dropping on the ground like mud.
Fang Lin looked at it and couldn’t help but sigh. A talent from the illustrious Li Family, once bound for great things, ended up in such a tragic fate.
However, on second thought, this Li Tongtian didn’t deserve any sympathy, after all, wasn’t he always against Fang Lin?
Absorbing the vital force of Li Tongtian, the Ice Emperor finally leapt out of the ice coffin like an immortal from the clouds, and landed steadily in front of Fang Lin.
“This humble one pays respects to the elder!” The Ice Emperor was still very respectful towards Fang Lin, directly knelt down and bowed in worship.
This was the treatment that the Pill Sovereign deserved. All beings in the world, if they did not kneel or salute upon encountering such a powerful being, they would be met with divine punishment.
Fang Lin glanced at the Ice Emperor and helplessly turned away.
“Can’t you wear a bit more?” Fang Lin asked in a strange tone.
The Ice Emperor was stunned, and then her face turned slightly red. There was only a very thin layer of gauze covering her body, which was almost like not wearing anything at all. Her exquisite body was completely exposed in front of Fang Lin.
Even though they met previously in spirit form, the Ice Emperor appeared just the same, but that was after all in spirit, somewhat less real.
But now, the Ice Emperor’s sensual appearance in front of Fang Lin was a bit too much for him to handle.
To put it bluntly, Fang Lin is not that old, and is certainly not an elder. When he died in his previous life, he was also at the prime of his youth. Seeing a woman’s naked body, naturally, made him feel a bit embarrassed.
“Forgive me, elder.” The Ice Emperor said softly, and immediately, a long blue skirt appeared on her body, covering all the wonderful sights.
Fang Lin turned around somewhat awkwardly, reached out to the Ice Emperor immediately.
The Ice Emperor looked puzzled, understanding Fang Lin’s meaning, she soon handed over an object.
In the Ice Emperor’s hand, there was a small gourd looking like an ice sculpture. It looked quite delicate and exquisite, making one like it at a glance.
Fang Lin took it and immediately sensed the extraordinariness of this object.
“Oh, so it’s a Universe Gourd!” Fang Lin said with a laugh.
The Ice Emperor respectfully said, “Elder has wise eyes. This gourd was made from the bones of the deceased members of my Cold Ice Bloodline. It contains an array and can forcefully absorb enemies into the gourd and refine them.”
Fang Lin nodded, a satisfied expression on his face. This Universe Gourd is one of those more common treasures, which, of course, is now quite rare.
The Universe Gourds are made in various ways, and their effects are more or less similar. This Universe Gourd made of the bones of the Cold Ice Bloodline is, to put it bluntly, very well crafted.
Fang Lin assuredly claimed this gourd, acting very familiar with the process, as if he’d done this many times before.
Seeing Fang Lin accept it so readily, the Ice Emperor was somewhat confused. An elder like you, taking interest in a simple thing like a Universe Gourd, aren’t you a bit too money-minded?
Of course, she was not aware of Fang Lin’s current predicament. Having a Universe Gourd was like a dream come true for Fang Lin.
“Right, there is one more thing, I believe you wouldn’t refuse?” Fang Lin stared at the Ice Emperor and asked with a teasing smile.
The Ice Emperor couldn’t help but feel anxious, “I wonder what the elder is referring to?”
