Chapter 62

  Even with mental preparation and spiritual protection, the moment she entered the icy pool, the chilling cold pierced her five organs and six viscera, freezing her limbs to the point of numbness. If not for that mysterious premonition, she really wanted to retreat and climb out of the pool. Damn it's so cold, Lin Qingyu thought, her teeth chattering loudly.

  However, she had a premonition that this time's gain would be substantial, and there might even be surprises. It was worth the hard work, not because she was greedy for wealth, but as a cultivator, her intuition told her that it was very important to herself, making her take the risk. Later, it turned out that taking the risk was indeed correct, and it ended up saving both herself and Yongzhuan.

  As she went further downstream, the temperature dropped even lower. Lin Xiangyu still activated her fire-based technique to slightly dispel the chill from her body. Looking at the fish swimming freely around her, they seemed completely unaffected by the low temperature. Even a foundation-building cultivator like herself found it difficult to move in this cold pool. It seems that these fish are not ordinary creatures either! Should she catch a few on her way back and take them home to taste? Are they any different from regular fish?

  Continuing downstream for a while, due to the strong eyesight gained from cultivating the truth, he vaguely saw the silver glint in front of him. In this dark and cold pool, suddenly appeared a starry bright color, really with a kind of enchanting beauty. It made Lin Qingyu, who was about to lose his motivation to swim due to the invasion of the cold air, suddenly feel invigorated, quickly continuing downstream.

  Looking at the bright silver in front of me, but I couldn't swim to it, it's really frustrating. Every time I wanted to give up, I looked around and was tempted by the beautiful scenery ahead. If only I had known that today would be like this, I would have made a water-avoiding pearl in advance! So, Lin Qingyu, with such a tangled mood, simply threw away his distracting thoughts and swam forward with all his might.

  In the middle of it all, there were accounts of accompanying strange encounters, which often turned out to be fraught with danger, and one misstep could lead to a fatal outcome. However, Lin Qingyu only encountered piercing cold, but nothing else dangerous, and everything went smoothly beyond expectation.

  But as the old saying goes: Heaven has unpredictable wind and cloud, people have unexpected disaster and blessing.

  Lin Qingyu circulated the spiritual energy within his body with all his might to resist the invasion of cold air, and he was too focused on moving forward, so he didn't notice a huge net that was floating several meters in front of him, emitting a faint light.

  Tragic bird of decisive defeat!

  With a "bang", he bumped into it and then bounced back, due to the resistance of the water, but didn't bounce out very far. Although his head wasn't injured, dizziness was inevitable. Lin Qingyu only felt that there were stars twinkling in front of his eyes, a blurry mess.

  After Lin Qingyu recovered, he tried several times but couldn't get in. That smooth and flowing condom firmly guarded its duty, refusing to let Lin Qingyu enter.

  Lin Qingyu was reluctant, having finally arrived here, how could she bear to go back? She entered the space and looked around to see if she could find a way to break through.

  Appearing in the space, a gentle breeze blew, and Lin Qingyu shivered. She made a hand gesture, using the 'Condensed Mirror Technique', and looked at her own face in the mirror - it was incredibly unsightly. Her cheeks were pale with a hint of green, and her lips were dark purple.

  Lin Qingyu's heart moved slightly, and she instantly shifted to the edge of the hot spring. With a few quick movements, she took off her clothes and jumped in.

  As soon as she entered the hot spring, Lin Qingyu felt unwell. The transition from cold to warm was not pleasant at all. Her pale skin turned bright red in an instant, as if it could bleed.

  It took about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea for things to slowly return to normal. Lin Qingyu really wanted to stay in the hot spring and not get out, it was so comfortable! But thinking about the treasure that was soon to be hers, she reluctantly got out of the hot spring.

  Lin Qingyu was searching for a way to break through on the second floor of the bamboo building, time inside the space was many times that of the outside, so she wasn't worried about disappearing for a long time.

  Unfortunately, after searching the entire second floor, nothing was found. Lin Qingyu felt a bit disheartened, but quickly regained her composure, perhaps there would be something on that floating giant island next to it.

  As soon as Lin Qingyu's mind moved, he appeared on the island and entered the library to search for it. The library has a total of ten floors, and so far, Lin Qingyu can only move around on the first floor. To enter the second floor, one must be in the Golden Elixir period, and Lin Qingyu has not been able to go in because his cultivation is not enough.

  But the first floor's collection is really vast, Lin Qingyu estimated that there are probably several hundred thousand volumes! Fortunately, they are categorized, otherwise she would have a hard time finding what she needs. She shook off the miscellaneous thoughts in her mind and headed straight to the section on formations and defense.

  This time, Lin Qingyu was very lucky and found the third jade pendant with a record. The green inside the stem of the Thousand-Year Breaking Barrier Grass can break through all barriers. If used to refine Dan, it can be refined into Breaking Barrier Dan, which helps people's cultivation breakthrough bottlenecks. Therefore, Breaking Barrier Grass is not an ordinary treasure in the Cultivation Realm! What's more, it's over a thousand years old, and that's truly a precious existence of extreme quality!

  Lin Qingyu's face was filled with joy, because she knew where the grass juice was. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't teleport out of the library, perhaps she would have already taken it out to retrieve the treasure. After putting away the jade ring, Lin Qingyu quickly headed outside.

  Out of the library, Lin Qingyu headed to the small bamboo building. As soon as she finished speaking, she appeared outside the bamboo building. She went up to the second floor, her target being the innermost shelf on the medicine rack, where one of the bottles had a label that read "Thousand-Year-Old Barrier-Breaking Grass Juice". Lin Qingyu carefully took it down and put it in her storage ring.

  Then, Lin Qingyu manipulated the spiritual energy to protect himself and exited the space. He swam to the front of the screen that was emitting a faint glow, took out the jade bottle, opened the lid, and gently tilted it. A single drop of bright green liquid emerged from inside, drawing a beautiful arc in the air before landing on the screen.

  As soon as it touched the screen, a small hole opened silently and spread in all directions, opening up an entrance that could dissolve into one person. However, miraculously, water did not rush in through the opened hole, which was truly amazing!

  There was a treasure waiting for Lin Qingyu to take away, so she didn't go to investigate the details. She was only surprised for a moment, and then went in from the entrance of the cave.

  This is a spacious and dry cave, Lin Qingyu looked at the smooth walls of the cave, as well as the night pearls and moonlight stones (crescent-shaped stones emitting soft light) embedded in the top of the cave, all of which indicate that everything inside was artificially carved.

  However, Lin Qingyu did not worry that there would be hidden Taoist predecessors inside. It was not only because her intuition told her so; most importantly, along the way, probably due to the long passage of time, the various residual marks left behind were enough to explain the facts. It was also for this reason that she was able to walk smoothly all the way to the end.

  What entered Lin Xiang's eyes was a twenty-odd-meter-tall golden giant sword standing upright in the silver light. The dazzling smoothness and the majestic aura that surpassed everything else all indicated its extraordinary origin.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a stone monument stood by the pool, with only three words on it: Pointing to Heaven Sword.

  Upon seeing these three words, Lin Qingyu immediately understood its true nature: One of the Ten Great Ancient Divine Artifacts. A golden ancient sword that contains boundless divine power, a divine sword for slaying demons and exorcising evil spirits. Its ability: Demon-slaying.

  Lin Qingyu smiled secretly and thought: No matter how extraordinary he is, from now on, he will be mine.

  However, isn't it too early to be happy yet?

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, half a time later, Lin Qingyu was disheartened and her face fell. She... she actually couldn't pull it out.

  That's too much of a rip-off!

  Others who go treasure hunting almost always risk their lives, and even if they get the treasure, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. But what about her? Although it's true that the beginning was a bit difficult, there was no danger involved. Apart from that, it can be said to have been very smooth sailing. However, unfortunately, the treasure is right in front of her, but she can't take it away.

  Lin Qingyu's eyes glared fiercely at the giant sword in front of her, gritting her teeth and saying to herself: I don't believe there's no way to deal with you, worst comes to worst, Ben Fu Jun will just take the entire pool into her spatial ring.

  "Hmm, it seems possible!" Lin Qingyu clenched her right fist and knocked it against her left hand. With this thought, Lin Qingyu took action.

  Sometimes greed is a good thing!

  Because this sword later saved her and Yongzheng, perhaps also saving many Qing dynasty civilians. Otherwise, the entire Qing dynasty might have fallen to become the cultivation material for demonic cultivators' advancement.
