According to the guidance of the little wolf, Yu Su and the others came to a glacier.
This glacier looked inconspicuous compared to the fierce glaciers surrounding it.
Yu Su was doubtful whether the source of the ice field was really here.
Lu Yan tried it out and said, "There is the strongest rejection here."
That means it is indeed here.
Yu Su handed the little wolf to Jian Yunchuan to hold, and he and Lu Yan tried to find a way to deal with this glacier.
Lu Yan first used fire spiritual power to try it out and found that it only melted the surface of the glacier, without causing any substantial changes.
Yu Su took out his sword and tried to chop it, but to his surprise, his sword was chipped, and his hand and wrist were also hurt from the impact.
"So hard?" Yu Su put away his sword. "Fire doesn't melt it, and the sword can't cut it. How do we get rid of this glacier?"
Lu Yan and Jian Yunchuan were at a loss.
Yu Su asked the all-round spirit to think of a solution. The all-round spirit said, "How about trying water spiritual power? Maybe it won't reject water spiritual power."
Water spiritual power?
Yu Su thought about it, changed his technique, and summoned water spiritual power to try to touch the glacier.
The glacier indeed didn't reject it, but his spiritual power seemed to disappear after entering it.
Yu Su and the all-round spirit were at a loss.
Jian Yunchuan said, "What exactly is in this glacier? It's so difficult to deal with."
At this moment, the little black bird sleeping in Yu Su's arms was awakened by the loud noises. It stuck out its head drowsily and asked, "What are you guys doing?"
Yu Su told it about the difficulties with the glacier.
The little black bird said, "This is easy. Let me spray some divine fire."
Yu Su said in surprise, "Ah? Can that really work? What if it burns whatever is inside?"
The little black bird was ready to show its power, flew out and stared at the glacier, saying, "If it burns, it burns. That treasure is probably nothing special anyway."
Seeing that it was really about to spit out divine fire, Yu Su quickly stopped it and said, "Wait!"
Just at this moment, the glacier shook.
Whether something inside sensed the approaching danger or not, it actually escaped from inside and turned into a white light, about to fly away, but Yu Su quickly caught it.
It felt like an icy crystal, radiating precious light.
"Master, it's a water attribute spiritual treasure!" the all-round spirit shouted in Yu Su's mind.
Yu Su widened his eyes. A water attribute spiritual treasure?
The little black bird had returned and, together with Lu Yan and the others, stared at it. It asked, "What is this thing? Can we eat it?"
"Master, quickly eat it! The precious light is too bright, and it will attract attention!" the all-round spirit said in Yu Su's mind.
Yu Su was startled. Indeed, if it attracted a powerful monster or clan, it would be troublesome. He quickly swallowed it.
Lu Yan and Jian Yunchuan were frozen in place and said in unison, "Yu Su?"
"Why did you eat it? What if there's something wrong with it?" they both asked.
After swallowing the bead, Yu Su said, "I'll explain later. Find a place for me to digest this bead."
At this moment, the little wolf in Lu Yan's arms pointed in a direction.
After a moment of confusion, Yu Su and the others understood what it meant and quickly found the location the little wolf was referring to. It was an ice cave with good concealment.
Yu Su could already feel the bead entering his dantian, so he quickly began to meditate.
After entering the ice cave, he realized that he didn't need to eat it in such a hurry. If he was worried about leaking the treasure energy, he could have placed it in the space of the all-round spirit.
But the situation was urgent at the time, and the all-round spirit urged him, so he hastily swallowed it.
Now he could only digest it hastily.
However, his water cultivation had already reached the ninth layer of Qi refining. He had been suppressing his breakthrough, hoping to find a water spiritual treasure before breaking through. Now that he had swallowed it, it was just the right time.
"I may have to undergo the Foundation Building Tribulation later. If you sense something wrong, quickly leave," Yu Su said to Lu Yan and Jian Yunchuan before closing his eyes.
Jian Yunchuan was a bit puzzled. Yu Su already had the foundation building cultivation, so why did he still need to undergo the tribulation?
Lu Yan knew about Yu Su's situation but didn't explain. He would personally explain it to Jian Yunchuan after Yu Su finished crossing the tribulation.
After this bead entered Yu Su's dantian, it fused into the dantian, just like how the fruit of the Tree of Life had fused into Yu Su's other dantian before.
With the effect of the water-based spiritual treasure, the dantian underwent a transformation, expanding its size beyond normal and then started to change towards foundation building.
As time passed, after several hours, Yu Su felt that he was approaching the edge of the water-based foundation building and then felt the familiar aura of tribulation thunder.
As expected, another foundation building tribulation arrived.
The tribulation clouds gathered in the sky, as if there were no dark clouds pressing on the ice field.
The ice field wolves quickly took cover.
Lu Yan also took the little wolf cub, Little Xuan Niao, and Jian Yun Chuan, retreating outside the tribulation cloud area.
After about fifteen minutes, the heavenly thunder struck.
Yu Meng and the others waiting outside the ice field were shocked, not knowing who was undergoing tribulation inside, and were worried about Yu Su and the others.
The thunder continued to strike, lasting for a long time before it stopped.
After the tribulation clouds dissipated, the area near the ice cave was also severely damaged.
It had now become a deep pit, revealing the soil beneath the ice layer.
Even after the water-based spiritual treasure was taken away, the water spiritual energy in the ice field remained active. However, the temperature would eventually rise, and the ice field would likely turn into a large lake.
But these were all matters for the future. Yu Su used a purification technique on himself and then took out a new set of clothes from the space and put them on. He sensed the surging of the water spiritual power and felt that it was still good.
Lu Yan and Jian Yun Chuan both came over and sighed in relief when they saw that he was fine.
Lu Yan jumped down to the bottom of the pit and brought Yu Su up.
"Did you succeed?" Lu Yan asked.
Yu Su nodded, his eyes brightening. "I succeeded."
Jian Yun Chuan was confused. "What exactly happened?"
Yu Su then explained his special issue with his spiritual roots to Jian Yun Chuan.
Jian Yun Chuan's mouth fell open. He didn't expect that there would be a phenomenon of a full spiritual root in this world. "Why didn't you say it earlier? This spiritual treasure is so important. We have to quickly find the rest."
Yu Su was worried that Jian Yun Chuan would blame him for not telling him earlier, but he didn't expect that Jian Yun Chuan's first concern would be this. He felt warm inside and decided not to hide things from Jian Yun Chuan in the future when something happened.
Yu Su said, "Currently, I have already found two out of the five. My wood-based and water-based cultivations have both reached the foundation building stage, leaving only three more."
Regardless of whether he could find the remaining three, he considered himself fortunate.
Of course, he still had to find them.
Jian Yun Chuan said, "Let's start with the earth-based next."
Jian Yun Chuan himself had a foundation building cultivation in the earth element, and he felt that this time he could experience the joy of teaching his son as a father. In terms of experience in earth cultivation, he surely had more.
Yu Su thought it was also a good idea. But as they walked toward the ice field, the first thing that Yu Su sensed was the surrounding golden spiritual energy, which intimately touched him and tried to enter his acupoints.
On the other hand, the other elemental spiritual energies, such as earth, were being repelled.
Yu Su was stunned for a moment, and then these golden spiritual energies happily entered his meridians, wandering inside, and slowly entered one of the three unlit dantians, the golden spiritual light dispelling the dimness of the dantian, making it bright.
When the golden spiritual energy surged into Yu Su's body, Lu Yan and Jian Yun Chuan also felt it.
Jian Yun Chuan had a pained expression. "Why is it golden spiritual energy?"
Yu Su said, "I don't know either. The surrounding earth spiritual energy is being driven away by them. I feel that if I don't absorb them, it will be difficult for earth spiritual energy to find an opportunity."
Jian Yun Chuan, "..."
One aspect of the joy of being a father was missing.
...
When they left, Yu Su asked Jian Yun Chuan not to tell others about this matter for the time being.
Jian Yun Chuan nodded. "Don't worry, your dad is trustworthy."
When they returned to the camp, Yu Meng and the others were anxiously waiting, and if they didn't come out soon, Yu Meng would have led people in.
"Dad, Brother, Brother Lu Yan," Yu Zhou shouted. "You finally came out."
Yu Zhou had also reached the fifth level of Qi Refining and followed the team north this time.
When they entered the ice field, Yu Su and the others didn't take him with them. Seeing the thunder resonating inside, Yu Zhou was worried to death, afraid that something would happen to his father and brothers.
Yumeng and the others also came over.
"Lord Yu Su, are you all right?"
"What happened inside? Why does it seem like a robbery cloud?"
Yu Su explained to them that it was because a spiritual treasure had appeared and caused a celestial phenomenon. But the spiritual treasure sensed the presence of humans and ran away, so they didn't catch it. They only brought out the future Icefield Wolf King.
At first, everyone felt regretful. Then they saw the little wolf cub Yu Su was holding and curiously gathered around to get a look. They thought it was so cute, sleeping so peacefully.
The little wolf cub wasn't afraid when so many people crowded around, but it seemed a bit listless.
Yu Su rubbed its head and said, "It's still sad."
Everyone understood and stopped trying to amuse it.
"Brother, so are we going to raise it?" Yu Zhou asked.
Yu Su nodded.
Yu Zhou had always liked cubs. He really liked the cub of the Desert Leopard.
He asked Yu Su if he could hold the little wolf cub. Yu Su saw that the cub didn't resist Yu Zhou, so he handed it over to him. "Be careful."
Yu Zhou happily held the little wolf cub and started talking about its food, "It's so small, what do we do if we don't have milk for it?"
This was indeed a problem. The little wolf cub was hungry as well. Yu Su only had a few spirit fruits in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he took out a juicy and plump spirit fruit, pierced its skin, and handed it to the cub's mouth.
The little wolf cub smelled the sweet fragrance and started sucking at the juice inside the fruit.
This spirit fruit was just an ordinary low-level one, so there was no need to worry about the cub being unable to handle its spiritual energy.
In fact, the cub accepted it well. After finishing the fruit, its spirits improved a lot. It didn't look as listless as before.
Yu Su saw that the spirit fruit was effective, so he decided to temporarily feed the little wolf cub with the fruits in his hand.
But this was only a temporary solution. They still needed to find something that could replace wolf milk.
