There were also broken iron swords, broken shields, and many shattered objects outside the tortoise's body that seemed to have been attracted by it. There were so many things that one couldn't even make out their original shapes. At first glance, one would be dazzled by these things. There were so many of them that one couldn't even make out their original shapes …
Yet when they looked at them the second time, they would not know whether to laugh or cry bitterly, because all of these items were trash. Some of them even had pieces of ice on them. Clearly, the turtle had just dug them out from the layer of ice.
The turtle ran over quickly like a puppy. Once it returned to the ice right above Su Ming's cave abode, it came to a halt, but the scattered items around its body did not stop. Instead, they fell straight onto the ice before it. Crashing sounds reverberated in the air, and once they pushed aside a small hill, the turtle cast a smug look at the small snake, then looked at Su Ming eagerly and licked its lips.
Su Ming looked at the scattered shards, then at the turtle, who had a smug look on his face and even looked incredibly honest. With a wry smile, he lifted his right hand and swung it in the air. The medicinal bottle containing the black liquid appeared on his palm.
The moment Su Ming brought out the bottle, the small snake immediately lifted its head towards him, and desire appeared on its face. As for the turtle outside the layer of ice, it widened its eyes and gasped harshly through its nostrils. It instinctively scratched at the ice with its front claws.
After a moment of pensive silence, Su Ming did not want to dispel the turtle's enthusiasm just like that. Hence, he poured out a drop of black liquid, and once he cast a glance at the turtle, he took away most of that drop of black liquid. When there was only a sliver left, he frowned and a displeased look appeared on his face. He brought that sliver of black liquid to the ice mountain, and once he opened up another small hole, he flicked it out.
The turtle opened its mouth wide and immediately pounced on Su Ming to swallow that sliver of black liquid. An intoxicated look appeared on its face, but after waiting for some time, when it saw that Su Ming was no longer giving it the black liquid and had instead left to return to the ice cave below, it let out a few displeased roars and even went up to fiddle with the abandoned hill it had pushed aside.
When it saw that Su Ming was still ignoring it, the turtle became even more enraged. It roared and paced back and forth a few times on the ice. Then, as if it had thought of something, it flew up once again and disappeared into the darkness.
Once the turtle left, Su Ming calmed himself down and stood beside the ring-shaped Enchanted Vessel. He looked at the poisonous wasp in the semi-transparent mountain rock within the Enchanted Vessel. He stared at the mountain for a moment before a resolute look appeared on his face. He lifted his right hand and pressed it on the Enchanted Vessel. Immediately, the Enchanted light ring flew towards him with a buzzing sound. As it slowly rubbed against the semi-transparent mountain rock, it gradually became smaller and thinner!
Eventually, after a moment, the transparent mountain rock let out a cracking sound and completely shattered before Su Ming. At the instant it turned into ashes, Su Ming stretched out his right hand like lightning. Golden light shone at his fingertips and turned into a cyclone. Once it fused with the golden light, it surrounded the poisonous wasp in multiple layers and trapped it between his fingers.
Su Ming's heart pounded against his chest. Did this poisonous wasp have any nectar in its body? If it didn't, then all his hopes would go up in smoke. If it did have nectar, then could this nectar be the God Ascension Flower? If it didn't, then all his hopes would go up in smoke!
When he remembered how the people in Shaman City had been so fervent and talked about the God Ascension Nectar in the past, and when he thought about this strange God Ascension Flower that was almost extinct and might not even belong to this place or True Morning Dao World, but came from True Sacred Yin World or even the universe's universe, when he thought about its shocking effects, there was no way Su Ming would not be nervous!
As he worried about his gains and losses, Su Ming looked at the poisonous wasp surrounded and sealed by the golden vortex between his fingers, and his eyes shone like lightning!
The God Ascension Flower was a legendary item. Its rarity was indescribable. In fact, it could be said that there was not a single remnant of it left in the entire Berserkers' continent!
Its nectar was even rarer. After all, only when the flower bloomed would nectar appear. Right now, the God Ascension Flower was practically a legend, so how could he possibly have its nectar?!
As he stared at the poisonous wasp between his fingers, Su Ming spread his divine sense outwards and fused it into the creature's body. However, the moment he touched it, he immediately had a strong feeling that the poisonous wasp had been asleep for a long time. It might still have a hint of life in it, but if he forced his divine sense into it to check, the wasp would immediately die!
If it truly had God Ascension Nectar in its body, would it be affected or would it disappear? Su Ming did not want to take this risk.
'The simplest way is to swallow this poisonous wasp and melt it completely … But this wasp is an insect that can harvest God Ascension Nectar, so its poison is definitely not weak. If I swallow it …' Su Ming's eyes sparkled as he stared at the poisonous needle at the wasp's tail.
After a moment of pensive silence, Su Ming did not act rashly. Instead, he acted according to his initial plan. He turned his divine sense into a Brand and slowly seeped it into the poisonous wasp's body.
'Only by turning this creature into my pet will I be able to make it obediently spit out the nectar. This way, the nectar I'll obtain will be the most reliable and complete!' God Ascension Nectar was simply too rare, and Su Ming could not afford to make even the slightest mistake. He stared at the sleeping poisonous wasp before him and slowly left his Brand on it.
However, this was definitely not something that could be done within a short period of time. After a moment, Su Ming placed the poisonous wasp into a jade box and put it away into his storage bag. He still had a wisp of his divine sense spread out to surround the jade box as he continued Branding it.
'If God Ascension Nectar really exists, then once I completely Brand this poisonous wasp with my divine sense and turn it into my pet, I'll have my answers.'
Su Ming quelled the anticipation in his heart and brought out another Crimson Stone to continue cutting into it in the frozen land at the bottom of the sea. This sort of cutting was incredibly dull, but Su Ming was already used to being alone.
Was there any loneliness that could compare to the endless cycles of life and death in the Undying and Imperishable World? Just like that, Su Ming stayed in the frozen world.
Time trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, a year went by!
During this year, the turtle returned several times, and each time it returned, it would bring back a large amount of items. It was a pity that not a single one of them was complete. They were all broken items, causing several small hills to form on the layer of ice.
The cave abode under the layer of ice where Su Ming was had also become much larger than it was a year ago. This was all thanks to the Poison Corpse and the small snake. As they continued expanding the cave, the cave abode in the ice was gradually no longer as simple as it used to be. It had become much larger, and there were even a few ice chambers that were separated into it.
Besides the small snake and the Poison Corpse, there were two other floating souls in the frozen cave abode. One of them was a woman, and that soul was naturally the Celestial Maiden. She had been taken out by Su Ming half a year ago, and since then, she had been staying by his side and watching him.
The other floating soul was Ahu. He was floating around the area in a daze, pacing back and forth …
All the Crimson Stones had been cut open by Su Ming during the year. He had personally chosen each of them in the past, and all of them contained either medicinal herbs or items, causing Su Ming's storage bag to be filled with an endless amount of items.
If he brought any one of them out, it was highly likely that he would stir up an uproar and fight over them. In fact, there were even some whose names Su Ming did not know. He was prepared to search for the effects of these plants once he left this place.
A year passed by just like that. Su Ming would occasionally open his eyes from his meditation and look at the area beyond the layer of ice. He did not know how the Land of South Morning was doing after the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands.
After a long while, he averted his gaze quietly. At that moment, after meditating for a period of time, his power had reached its peak, and he was about to do something else. He had been waiting for a long time, and now, he had finally managed to gather the complete main ingredient for the quenching stone!
'The Welcoming of Deities …' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and he cast a glance at the medicinal cauldron not too far away from him. That cauldron was now exuding a freezing aura, and there were layers of frost around it, as if it had been sealed in ice.
He lifted his right hand, and the lid of the medicinal cauldron immediately flew open. With a swing of his arm, a black shadow flew out from his storage bag. Right at the moment it flew out, a brilliant glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and he pointed at the black shadow with his right hand, which he had just swung out.
That black shadow revealed itself at that moment, and it was a spider's leg! Once Su Ming pointed at it, it immediately disintegrated. When it turned into powder, Su Ming bit the tip of his tongue and coughed out a mouthful of Berserker Blood.
The blood swept up the shattered spider leg and flew into the medicinal cauldron. Once it did so, a grave look appeared on Su Ming's face. He patted his storage bag, and another item immediately flew out. The moment it appeared, the small snake by his side immediately lifted its head, and a complicated look appeared on its face.
That item was the Candle Dragon's scale!
As Su Ming looked at the scale before him, he waved his hand, and that item flew into the medicinal cauldron.
'The final main ingredient …' Su Ming lowered his head, and a dark light spread out from his storage bag. Slowly, a semi-transparent mountain rock manifested before him.
There was a small, black humanoid sitting cross-legged in the mountain rock. It had its eyes closed and did not move.
Su Ming looked at the small, black humanoid in the mountain rock, and his gaze fell on the third finger on the small humanoid's right hand. He remained silent for a moment before he suddenly spoke.
"I know that you have intelligence and can understand my words …"
The small, black humanoid in the mountain rock did not move, as if it was in deep sleep. It did not seem to have heard Su Ming's words.
"There might be a lot of secrets on you, and even if your arrival here has nothing to do with the True Sacred Yin World, it is definitely related to the Spirits of Nine Yin's mission.
"I'm not interested in knowing about these things now. Since I gained a lot from the Crimson Stones thanks to your help, I only need the third finger on your right hand, and I won't make things difficult for you anymore," Su Ming stated calmly.
However, the small, black humanoid in the mountain rock continued sleeping as if it did not hear him.
"I'll give you the span of ten breaths to think about it. If you don't give me an answer after ten breaths, I'll forcefully take your finger!" Once Su Ming finished speaking, he no longer spoke. Time passed by, and when the ninth breath arrived, the small, black humanoid's eyelashes fluttered, and it slowly opened its eyes to look at Su Ming with a complicated expression.
"I'll give you my third finger. Will you let me go?" The small, black humanoid looked at Su Ming and spoke hoarsely after a long while. There was a hint of a piercing tone to its voice that shot through the mountain rock and echoed in Su Ming's ears.
"I won't." Su Ming looked at the small, black humanoid and spoke flatly with a calm expression on his face.
