Chapter 56: Ice Spirit Cold Spring
leaving the Alchemist Guild, under the leadership of Otto, Xiao Se came to a remote and strange building near the south of Black Rock City.
"This is the residence of that guy Gut. He obviously has a good talent as an alchemist, but he is obsessed with collecting all kinds of rare treasures. As a result, his alchemist level remains at the third level. I really don't understand him. But then again, he is probably the most likely person in the entire Gama Empire who can have the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. Let me remind you again, before you go in, you'd better be prepared for a heavy loss." Looking at the strange building in front of him, Otto's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned his head and smiled at Xiao Se.
Hearing this, Xiao Se nodded with a wry smile. He was not sure whether Gut had really obtained the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. If not, he could only go to Medusa and try his luck.
Xiao Se vaguely remembered that in the original novel, Medusa collected a large pool of strange fire in order to devour it and break through to the Dou Zong level. Now that the time has been advanced by several years, he wondered if Medusa still has it.
Following closely behind Otto, as soon as Otto opened the door, Xiao Se felt a strong gust of wind carrying white dust.
"Master Otto, get out of here quickly." The sudden dust made Dede Xiaose frown. He jumped back and reminded Otto.
"It's just a shady trick!" Upon hearing this, Otto curled his lips, as if he was no longer surprised. He waved his sleeves, creating an even stronger gust of wind that blew the white dust back.
"Let's go, be careful, this old guy is very cunning." Otto smiled and walked into the room, but before he could be happy, the wooden planks on the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a bottomless pit. Otto missed a step and his whole fat body fell directly down, screaming: "Ah!"
Seeing this scene, Xiao Se's mouth twitched, and he immediately turned on the system's perspective eyes. After seeing that there was a pool of stinky water at the bottom of the pit, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was a bit smelly, but Gut still knew his limits and did not cross the bottom line.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Se, with the help of his X-ray vision, took in all the mechanisms in the entire Gut building. After deliberately triggering a few mechanisms to avoid them, he finally reached the top floor of the building.
"Hehe, good job, kid. You can actually avoid all my traps. Come in, there are no traps here." An old and weird laugh suddenly came from the room at the end of the corridor on the top floor, which made Xiao Se feel a little creepy.
Xiao Se nodded slightly, but was not careless at all. He scanned the surroundings with his X-ray eyes. After confirming that there were no traps, he walked into the room. However, he saw an extremely shocking scene: a sloppy old man with bare feet was picking his nose.
He suppressed his nausea and didn't look away. When his eyes inadvertently swept across Gut's crotch, the corners of his mouth twitched again.
Good guy!
In order to hide something, he actually tied the ring to that thing.
"Senior, I'm here to exchange things with you." Xiao Se bowed and said.
"Don't bother me with all that nonsense. I let you in because you seem to know something about this. Want to exchange things? I have nothing here, and you don't have anything worthy of my attention either." Gut shook his messy hair and said impatiently.
"That's such a pity. I even asked my teacher for a bottle of Companion Amethyst Source. Since you don't have it, I'll go exchange it somewhere else." Xiao Se shook his head in distress and turned to leave.
Companion purple crystal source?
Hearing these five words, Gu Te suddenly jumped up from the dirty chair as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and instantly appeared in front of Xiao Se. This speed shocked Xiao Se a little.
"Hey, little brother, don't leave in a hurry. I just heard you say that you have a companion purple crystal source. I wonder if it's true or not?" Gut smiled and rubbed his dirty palms, saying with saliva dripping from his mouth.
Seeing Gu Te taking the bait, Xiao Se raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pretending to be alert and said: "Of course it is true, but I think you know the value of the companion purple crystal source. If you want to exchange it, you must have the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. Do you have the Ice Spirit Cold Spring?"
"Who said I don't have... Ugh!" Before he could utter the words "Ice Spirit Cold Spring", Gu Te quickly covered his mouth. After a long silence, he touched the back of his head and said with a wry smile: "Little brother, although I don't have Ice Spirit Cold Spring, I have other good things. Look at the Fire Seven Leaf Flower, Blood Crystal Grass, and Blue Rock Heart Stone on the shelf in this room. Each one is a rare treasure!"
"Since you don't have any, I'll take my leave." Xiao Se had looked at all the medicinal herbs in the room. They were indeed very precious. Some of them were even the herbs for sixth-grade elixirs. Unfortunately, the thing he had the most was medicinal herbs. During the half year in the Monster Mountain Range, he used the green liquid from the Palm of Heaven bottle to induce labor. Now he had a pile of thousand-year-old medicinal herbs on him. He even had the herbs for the Douling Pill and the Huangji Pill. The only thing he lacked was the magic core.

In fact, Gut's real goodies are all hidden in the ring in his crotch.
Seeing that Xiao Se was really going to leave, Gu Te finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Wait."
Xiao Se turned around after hearing this and said calmly, "Why, did you find the Ice Spirit Cold Spring?"
"Let me ask you, do you really have a Companion Purple Crystal Source?" At this moment, Gut was struggling in his heart. He had only obtained the Ice Spirit Cold Spring a few months ago, and it wasn't even warm enough yet. He really didn't want to exchange it, but the Companion Purple Crystal Source was too rare, and even he had never seen it. If he missed it once, he might never see it again in his life.
"Of course there is." Xiao Se waved his hand, and a faint light rose from the ring. A jade bottle emitting a warm breath appeared out of thin air in his hand.
When the cork was opened, a wisp of purple mist came out of the bottle mouth. In an instant, the temperature in the whole room rose a few degrees.
"Is this the Companion Purple Crystal Source? It's exactly the same as what that annoying guy said." Seeing the purple burning breath rising, Gu Te's old eyes suddenly glowed with gold. He was about to snatch it from Xiao Se's hand.
Xiao Se grinned, put the cork in the bottle, performed the first level of Piaomiao Smoke Step, and instantly dodged behind Gut.
"Hey, Senior Gut, you haven't shown me your Ice Spirit Cold Spring yet. If you don't have the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, I will leave immediately." Xiao Se spoke bluntly and was about to take the companion purple crystal source back into the ring.
"Wait... I have it, I have it." Seeing that Xiao Se was determined to get the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Gut couldn't bear his desire for the accompanying Amethyst Source anymore and made an exchange.
Carefully holding the newly acquired Amethyst Crystal Source, and looking at the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in Xiao Se's hand, Gu Te felt distressed. He pointed outside the house and cursed, "Get out, get out, take the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and get out. I don't want to see you again."
Xiao Se smiled, didn't say anything more, turned around and left. His goal had been achieved and there was no point in staying here any longer.
Not long after, Xiao Se walked out of the building and saw Otto, who was struggling to get up from the deep pit and was covered in dirt. He smiled and said, "Master Otto, are you okay?"
"That damn bastard actually dug a hole into the septic tank." Hearing Xiao Se's words, Otto was so angry that he cursed out loud.
Suddenly, Gutt's cursing voice came from the top floor of the strange building. Otto was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "Did you really get the Ice Spirit Cold Spring?"
"I got it by luck." Hearing this, Xiao Se nodded slightly.
ps: First update, asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
Explanation:
Some book friends said that the plot of the latest chapters is similar to the original plot. This is just a transition for the time being, please forgive me.
Doupo fan fiction has this limitation. It is impossible to leave a known opportunity unchased. What the protagonist needs most right now is to work hard to become stronger before the plot begins. As for the kind of people who become Dou Wang in one year, Dou Huang in two years, Dou Zong and even Dou Zun in three years, I will not write about them because I am afraid that it will be a big mistake.
