A 100,000-year-old snow lotus for me?
Upon hearing Xue Di's words, Bing Di immediately looked at Xue Di in shock.
It has to be said that she was indeed tempted. With the help of a rare treasure like the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, her chances of surviving the fourth great tribulation were indeed very high.
But soon, her eyes dimmed. "You gave me the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, so what about Sister Snow Maiden?"
She couldn't allow herself to affect Xue Di's survival, especially given how good Xue Di had been to her.
Then, Hyotei shook his head bitterly, "Sister Yuki-onna, there's no need to talk about the 100,000-year-old snow lotus anymore. So what if I used the 100,000-year-old snow lotus to survive the fourth great tribulation? It just means I'll live for another 100,000 years!"
However, you know Qingmu's talent. Following him is my only chance to ascend to the God Realm. Even if I'm unlucky in the end, I'll accept it!
Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress fell silent. Indeed, given the Ice Empress's condition, even if she were lucky enough to survive the fourth great tribulation using the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, she would absolutely not be able to survive the fifth great tribulation.
But Qingmu was the human she had ever seen with the greatest potential to become a god. At only thirteen years old, he had already reached level seventy, and his combat power surpassed that of ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts, allowing him to fight against the Ice Emperor.
If even a peerless genius like Qing Mu couldn't become a god, she truly didn't know what kind of human could become a god.
After a moment, Xue Di sighed again, reached out and hugged Bing Di, gently patted her back, and said, "My poor Bing'er, I hope your decision is the right one."
Hyotei trembled slightly, then buried her face in Yuki's arms and began to cry.
On the other side, Qingmu is using the flames spewed by Ivysaur to grill food. Among the skewers in Qingmu's hand are some fruits that Ivysaur likes.
Qing Mu possesses several top-tier storage soul tools. Although even the top-tier storage soul tools in Douluo Continent are not very large, they are more than enough to store some food and meat.
This is why Qing Mu can easily level up in the Soul Beast Forest for months. Now, Qing Mu's leveling up is not as arduous as it was at the beginning, when he had to endure wind and rain and even find his own food.
"Alright, Ivysaur, here's your kebab."
Qingmu handed several skewers of roasted fruit to Ivysaur, who swallowed them almost in one gulp without any hesitation.
Qing Mu also devoured the grilled meat with lightning speed. This was the core area of the far north, and if he wasn't quick, the skewers would freeze solid.
After finishing his meal, Qingmu took out a small sword and began to deduce its meaning on the ground.
After several months of research, the Wood Realm Descent technique is basically complete. Further improvement is too difficult, and it's time to create a second combo attack.
For this second combination move, Qingmu plans to use the Sunfire Blaze as the core, and integrate other moves that can be used in conjunction with it.
After several hours of deliberation, Qingmu chose Petal Dance and Leaf Storm, both Grass-type ultimate moves.
Although these two special moves are slightly different in appearance from Solar Beam, they are both projectile attacks and should be able to be combined.
As for Petal Dance and Leaf Storm, Ivysaur had already mastered these two moves over the past few months by using Petal Dance and Leaf Blade as mediums.
"It's been almost eight years since I awakened the Ivysaur spirit, which is quite a long time for a trainer and a Pokémon."
Qingmu stroked Ivysaur's head and suddenly thought of something.
Although the Pokémon anime has been airing for over twenty years, and even spawned the meme "Pidgeot, I'll come back for you," it hasn't actually been that long for Ash.
In many cases, after just a few months of training, a Pokémon can be ready to compete in the league. Given the right conditions, a Pokémon can grow really fast!
It's extremely rare to see someone like Qingmu who has dedicated eight years to training a single Pokémon, except for their chosen Pokémon.
"Fortunately, my progress is not slow either. After I absorb the seventh soul ring, I can skip several levels directly. Being a Soul Saint at less than fourteen years old is also cheating."
Thinking of this, Qing Mu couldn't help but be speechless. For the people of Douluo Continent, his ability to level up by fighting monsters without any bottlenecks was simply outrageous.
Even the God of Trials might not level up as fast as him, let alone Ivysaur with its dozens of special moves.
Just then, Qingmu and Ivysaur suddenly glanced in one direction and saw that Xue Di and Bing Di had returned.
In the blink of an eye, the two women were in front of Qingmu.
Hyotei seemed to have made up her mind and said directly to Qingmu, "Qingmu, I'll go with you!"
"It seems you've made up your mind. Go take care of some things, and who knows when you'll be back here again."
Qingmu looked at Bingdi and said to her.
"I know."
Ice Empress nodded, then vanished into the Ice Valley in a flash. She did indeed still have matters concerning the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan to attend to.
After the Ice Emperor left, the Snow Emperor suddenly spoke up: "Qingmu, do you need any more help?"
Since Hyotei has decided to follow this human on the path to godhood, she, as the older sister, naturally has to do everything in her power to support her.
Qing Mu was somewhat surprised, but still shook her head. "I don't lack anything right now. If you want to give me something, then give me a few more usable soul bones. Anyway, soul bones are of no use to you soul beasts."
The role of resources is nothing more than to help improve level and combat power, but Qing Mu only needs enough combat power to level up. As for combat power, Qing Mu is not lacking. The power of the Wood Realm Descent far exceeds the so-called 100,000-year soul skill.
Therefore, Qing Mu's dependence on resources is far lower than that of other geniuses, and the other things Qing Mu needs cannot be provided by Xue Di or even the entire Douluo Continent.
The reason for giving more soul bones was not mainly for Qing Mu's own use, as Qing Mu could use as many as he wanted, but rather to leave them for those around him.
"A soul bone?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Di nodded slightly and vanished from the spot in a flash.
A moment later, Xue Di walked over carrying an ice box and placed it in front of Qing Mu. She said softly, "These are the soul bones dropped by the opponents I have killed over the long years. See if there is anything you need."
Soul beasts that are over 100,000 years old will definitely drop soul bones, and the chance of soul beasts that are tens of thousands of years old dropping soul bones is much higher than that of low-level soul beasts.
When the Snow Empress conquered the far north, she killed countless soul beasts. The soul bones that fell from their bodies were collected by the Snow Empress as spoils of war and placed in this box.
Qing Mu opened the refrigerator, and various colored lights immediately emanated from the box, indicating that the bones were at least ten thousand years old.
