The transparent crystalline object was known as the Glazed Heart, having been refined by Yan Zhaoge using various treasures as raw materials through the Internal Crystal Furnace.
And before him, the originally blue hot spring was known as the Time Connection Spring, being extremely rare, only having the possibility of being born in extremely cold places.
The Time Connection Spring possessed limitless miraculous aspects, being especially renowned for its abundant life force.
However, this was an underground spring, its spiritual qi retracted and not apparent, being very hard for most people to find.
The birth of the spring was also a result of the creation of the heavens and the earth, being hard to obtain as one had to rely on luck.
In coming to the Extreme Northern Snowy Plains this time, one of Yan Zhaoge's main goals was to be able to find such a Time Connection Spring.
This strange hot spring held a very important place in Yan Zhaoge's plan to save Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen.
The spiritual qi contained within the Time Connection Spring rose and fell like the tides, rising and falling in a regular pattern.
After reaching its peak, it would fall, and after reaching the bottom, it would flourish once more.
Previously, when Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu had broken through the ground and seen the spirit spring, feeling the spiritual qi within, Yan Zhaoge had determined that the spiritual qi of this spirit spring had yet to reach its peak.
Under such circumstances, the spiritual qi of the spring was unable to support Yan Zhaoge's plan. Therefore, Yan Zhaoge could only seal it up, before first doing other things.
Counting the days, the spiritual qi of the spring should have reached its peak soon.
Looking again this time, Yan Zhaoge indeed found that the spiritual qi contained within this Time Connection Spring was much more abundant than before.
After throwing the Glazed Heart into the spring, the spring water turned from its original blue to red, a dark red like blood.
In this world of ice and snow, the hot spring boiled even more, roiling steam rising as it also appeared to be the colour of blood.
Yan Zhaoge carefully stared at the bloodred spirit spring, feeling the spiritual qi within. After calculating for a moment, he couldn't help but knit his brows slightly, a heavy haze appearing within his gaze.
Observing his expression, Ah Hu asked carefully, "Young Master, is there a problem?"
Yan Zhaoge didn't hide it from him, frowning as he said, "The spiritual qi contained within this Time Connection Spring, converted into the blood qi of rejuvenation for healing, is a little little ah …"
The spiritual qi of the Time Connection Spring itself could not be used in Yan Zhaoge's plan.
However, through special means, the Spiritual Qi in the spring water could be converted into Blood Qi, which could produce astonishing effects. While it might not be able to revive the dead, it was not far from it.
But there was a problem in this. Different Time Link Springs had different conversion rates of spiritual energy into Blood Qi. Some were higher, some were lower.
What made Yan Zhaoge feel rather unlucky was that this Time Connection Spring that he had found belonged to the category with a rather low conversion rate.
"I'm afraid … it's only enough for one person." After silently calculating, Yan Zhaoge came to a general conclusion, "Sister-in-law Yuzhen's situation is even worse. If we use it on her, it might not even be enough."
"If I use it on Little Jun 'er, there's a ninety percent chance that he'll wake up. If I use it on sister-in-law Yuzhen, her life won't be in danger, but whether she can wake up or not will depend on God."
"But I'm afraid Sister-in-law Yuzhen can't wait any longer."
Yan Zhaoge rubbed his temples, "Think carefully, is there any other way …"
Ah Hu also frowned and said, "Young Master, why don't we bury it here and go to other places to see if there are other Time Connection Springs? With the size of the Extreme Northern Snowy Plains, we might be able to find one. "
Yan Zhaoge shook his head slowly, surveying the desolate snowy plains around them, "While this place is vast, nurturing a Time Connection Spring is not easy. Under normal circumstances, only after this hot spring has dried up and a few years have passed will nature birth a new spirit spring once more."
"The problem is that it is hard to say whether Jun 'er and Sister-in-law Yuzhen will be able to wait that long."
Yan Zhaoge had brought along two Shadow Shrinking Pouches, one of which was specially left empty, only containing two things.
They were the ice coffins containing Ying Yuzhen and Shi Jun's bodies.
Yan Zhaoge silently took out the two ice coffins from the Shadow Shrinking Pouch, looking at the faces of the two who seemed to be in deep slumber within.
"Young Master, if we really can't do it, we should first save Sister-in-law Yuzhen." Ah Hu said softly from the side, "Otherwise, as you say, Sister-in-law Yuzhen might not be able to wait till the birth of a second Time Connection Spring."
His hands crossed before his chest, Yan Zhaoge looked earnestly at the hot spring down below that had turned bloodred. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Let's give it a try. The situation might be better than I think."
Saying thus, Yan Zhaoge opened the lids of the two ice coffins.
As the seal of the ice coffins was released, while Shi Jun's condition was still passable, signs of weakness instantly appeared on Ying Yuzhen's face.
Yan Zhaoge's expression did not change as he swept the bodies of Shi Jun and his mother with his aura-qi, bringing them out of the ice coffins.
Amidst the howling cold wind, his aura-qi seemed even colder than the cold wind as it was all white.
Under the effect of Yan Zhaoge's aura-qi, while the faces of Shi Jun and his mother were still very pale, the signs of weakness had already disappeared.
Yan Zhaoge said, "Do you still remember what I taught you earlier?"
Ah Hu answered earnestly, "Rest easy, Young Master; I remember it all."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, no longer saying anything. Drawing on his aura-qi, he placed Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen's bodies together within the bloodred hot spring.
On the other side, Ah Hu took out two long poles, at the top of each pole was a golden lamp.
The ends of the two poles were sent together into the Time Connection Spring down below. The poles floated within the spring water just like that, not slanting or sinking.
Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen's bodies instead completely sunk into the spring water, completely submerged within it.
Controlling the two poles carefully with his aura-qi, Ah Hu let the two poles hover above the bodies of Shi Jun and his mother respectively.
Feeling the spiritual qi fluctuations within, Yan Zhaoge flicked his fingers, the golden lamps at the top of the two poles instantly lighting up.
The light of the fire appeared a strange silvery-white, shining together with the golden lamps, emitting a bright radiance which bobbed and sank within the bloodred spring water.
The ends of the poles were submerged within the water, each projecting a ray of light which was aimed directly at the chests of Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen within the spring water.
As the ray of light landed on their bodies, Shi Jun and his mother instantly shuddered.
While they were still completely unaware, some colour seemed to have returned to their faces.
Yan Zhaoge's expression was solemn as he formed a fist with his left hand, his right palm striking downwards from afar.
The spring water of the bloodred spirit spring actually began to circulate, gradually forming the shape of a whirlpool.
However, the bodies of the two beneath the water as well as those two poles did not move at all as they stood stably within the water.
Yan Zhaoge quietly observed the situation of this bloodred spring water as well as the mother and son beneath the water, his hands alternating as aura-qi descended one after another, carefully making adjustments.
As time passed, the bloodred colour of the spring water gradually grew faint.
Yan Zhaoge worked day and night, focusing on the ritual within the spring water.
Ah Hu stood by the side, quietly standing guard.
One day, just as another night had passed, the first rays of dawn surfacing once more, Ah Hu's expression suddenly changed slightly.
In the distance, a black storm suddenly arose, obscuring the heavens and obscuring the sun.
Yan Zhaoge now raised his head and gazed over, his eyes narrowing into slits, "It's that Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster of Black Nightmare Mountain. Unlike those of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, he is not concerned about the legacy of the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint, instead hoping to find me again, specifically finding trouble with us."
