Chapter 88 Tianhua, Ice Heart (2)_1
"My goodness, we’ve stumbled upon a treasure!" Dugu Qianye exclaimed joyfully, then jumped into the pool, where the icy water made her shiver violently. She bent over and carefully searched for Tianhua’s meridians, before gingerly uprooting them, successfully transplanting Tianhua into the Refining Demon Pot. Inside the pot, Dudu had already prepared the spot, and after Dugu Qianye entered, the two planted it together. Once Tianhua was planted, Dugu Qianye asked Dudu, "Is this what you were talking about?"
"No. What I was referring to is under the pool. Have you not wondered why everything around is frozen, but the pool itself isn’t?" Dudu asked with a pout.
"I thought it was because of Tianhua," Dugu Qianye said.
"No. Although Tianhua is rare, it doesn’t require very strict growing conditions. If I’m not mistaken, there is an Ice Heart beneath the pool."
"Ice Heart? What’s that?"
"It’s somewhat similar to the Wanyuan Fire Seed that Sister Xiaohuo refined. If the Wanyuan Fire Seed is the ancestor of all fire, then the Ice Heart is the boss of ice and water. The person who refines the Ice Heart will command all the ice and water in this world. However, no one has successfully refined the Ice Heart to date. You should be able to," Dudu said.
"Me? Why?" Dugu Qianye asked.
"Because you have the Phoenix Golden Fire! At its core, the Ice Heart is essentially water, and water and fire counter each other," Dudu explained.
"Hmm, I’ll give it a try then," she said.
Having said that, Dugu Qianye stepped out of the Refining Demon Pot, this time wrapping herself with Phantom Power before jumping into the pool. After searching in the water, she indeed found a blue crystal stone the size of a thumb. She waded over, grabbed the Ice Heart, and immediately felt her hand freezing into a block of ice. Instinctively, she released her Phantom Power to separate the Ice Heart from her palm, then swam towards the side of the pool.
