Chapter 491: Chapter 277: Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo’s Decision

The atmosphere on the scene became completely silent.

After a moment of silence, Steward Liu, who was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, took a deep breath and said, "It seems this matter is mostly true. I will immediately take this gift box and present it to Elder Bai."

Immediately, under the watchful eyes of the many guarding disciples, Steward Liu solemnly picked up the gift box and carried it into the mountain gate to find Elder Bai.

Not long after, he found Elder Bai.

However, it was evident that this gift box clearly contained a mana seal from Qi Chuan. Before the mana dissipates, only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could open it.

Therefore, after some probing, Elder Bai also reached the same result as Steward Liu.

Naturally, he dismissed all doubts and sent the gift box to True Monarch Cyan Bamboo.

In the Cyan Bamboo Sect Main Hall, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo, who had recently advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, was a bit curious as he looked at the gift box on the jade table in front of him.

Standing respectfully in the hall below were Steward Liu and Elder Bai.

"He said he’s an old friend of mine? Did he leave a name?" asked True Monarch Cyan Bamboo, looking at Steward Liu.

"Reporting to the Supreme Elder, he did not," replied Steward Liu, shaking his head.

"He did not, huh..." True Monarch Cyan Bamboo withdrew his gaze and looked back at the gift box, a trace of contemplation in his eyes.

This gift box, although sealed with the mana of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, was not sealed too tightly, just to prevent cultivators below Core Formation from opening it.

At this moment, even without opening the gift box, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo’s divine sense could still penetrate it and see some of the items inside. The mana seal did not apply any effect to obscure the Nascent Soul True Monarch’s divine sense from scanning.

Swish.

True Monarch Cyan Bamboo cast a few spells towards the gift box, breaking the mana seal within, and with a "pop," the gift box opened, revealing its contents to True Monarch Cyan Bamboo’s gaze.

There were several jade boxes and jade bottles.

True Monarch Cyan Bamboo inspected them one by one.

Inside the jade boxes were Tier Four Lower Grade Talismans.

Inside the jade bottles were Tier Four Lower Grade Elixirs.

There were various types.

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi was very abundant, seemingly refined not too long ago.

"This ’old friend’ of mine is quite thoughtful." True Monarch Cyan Bamboo remarked, looking at the gifts of considerable value.

Although the other party didn’t say, he had already guessed the other’s identity.

It should be the Nascent Soul Cultivator who often trained in the Deep Sea Ice Pool eight hundred miles east of Sea Bamboo Island over the years.

That Deep Sea Ice Pool contained extremely terrifying low temperatures, which even Nascent Soul Cultivators dared not linger in for long.

However, for those with special needs, it was a good cultivation site.

All these years, the other party trained frequently in the Deep Sea Ice Pool, not escaping the notice of True Monarch Cyan Bamboo, the lord of Sea Bamboo Island.

True Monarch Cyan Bamboo himself had no need for the Deep Sea Ice Pool.

Plus, the other party just went there to train and would leave by themselves after finishing without doing anything else.

Therefore, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo didn’t interfere and allowed it.

But today, he did not expect to receive a congratulatory gift from the other party.

It indeed forged a good relationship.

Keeping this in mind, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo put away the Tier Four Lower Grade Talismans and Lower Grade Elixirs.

"Issue an order to prohibit any cultivators from entering that area of the sea near the Deep Sea Ice Pool in the near future," True Monarch Cyan Bamboo issued a command.

"Yes," Elder Bai responded immediately, already having guessed that this was related to True Monarch Cyan Bamboo’s old friend, and simply carried out the order.

...

Eight hundred miles off Sea Bamboo Island’s eastern sea, deep underwater, lay a vast expanse of white.

These white markings were not other things but ice crystals formed by extreme cold.

The ice crystals were crystal clear and aesthetically pleasing, lying flat on the seabed, covering its original color. Due to the low temperature, nothing could survive here, leaving only a few ice cold attribute demon beasts wandering above the ice crystals.

However, further down, there were no signs of these ice cold attribute demon beasts, as even they could not withstand such extreme cold...

At the deepest part of the white ice crystal seabed, the terrain was originally very flat, but at the center, it dipped downward, creating a white ice pool.

At this moment, cold air rose from the white ice pool, white mist spreading everywhere, the extremely low temperature continuously emitting, terribly frightening.

However, in the center of this white ice pool, sat a refined youth.

At this time, the youth’s clothes, hair, and skin were all covered with a layer of extremely low-temperature frost. The ice cold power penetrated all, trying to freeze everything within the youth’s body completely.

However, if one with strong perception were present, they would discover that within the youth’s body, another vibrant force was surging and lively, resisting the ice cold power pouring in from outside, preventing it from completely freezing the blood, flesh, and other tissues inside.

These two forces continued to clash, hard to tell apart.

And through this continuous conflict, the youth’s physical body slowly grew stronger...

A day later.

Qi Chuan’s eyelids slightly moved, gradually opening his eyes.

Now he was unbearably cold, his ice-frosted mouth trembling uncontrollably.
