Walking in the backyard of the Snow Palace, Yi Tian looked indifferent as he followed Xuan Shuang. Just now, in the hall, he had made his attitude clear and tested his bone age.
Even though Xuan Shuang showed some pity, fairy Hao Yue said on the spot to postpone the matter of becoming dao partners. Afterwards, Lian Yue mentioned that she would directly give the opportunity to enter the Jadewave Pool to Yi Tian and let Xuan Shuang lead him to the back courtyard.
Yi Tian was not stupid enough to directly refuse. Although he had not found the Jadewave Pool, it should have some connection to the Jadewave Pool. After explaining to Feng Ren Han and Shi Ling Feng, Yi Tian stood up and followed Xuan Shuang and the other girls into the passage leading to the backyard under everyone's eyes, under their envious eyes.
This was already the second time he had entered the back courtyard. With Xuan Shuang as his guide, he did not have to run around like a headless fly.
Not long after, the group passed through the long corridor and arrived at the courtyard at the fork in the road. Yi Tian's gaze swept across the place. He had been here before, but he had chosen the wrong path to take a stroll around the Spiritual Herb Garden.
Shaoqing saw Xuan Shuang take everyone to the leftmost path. After around half an hour and a few turns, they arrived in front of a door. He looked up and saw the words "Jadewave Garden" written on it.
After entering, Yi Tian scanned with his spiritual sense. This place was around a kilometer in radius. There were dozens of ponds of various sizes on the ground, all filled with spring water. Using his spiritual sense, he could sense that the water seemed to contain some special spiritual energy.
The girls waited at the door under Xuan Shuang's orders. Then they followed her to the deepest part of the Jadewave Pool. In this steamy environment, Yi Tian discovered that his spiritual sense could only reach a range of thirty meters.
Before long, they arrived beside a large pond. Xuan Shuang turned around and bowed. Then she opened a soundproof barrier and said slowly, "Thank you, senior, for helping me out twice."
After hearing this, Yi Tian knew that there was no point in continuing his act. The corner of his mouth twitched as he asked, "How did you find out?"
Xuan Shuang smiled and said, "Senior, there is something you don't know. The Snow Palace's martial arts have a natural sensitivity to cultivators."
"Oh." Yi Tian looked at him and said, "I've only met you once before, but you were able to recognize me in the crowd. That's interesting."
"I think you sneaked into Traceless Palace to find the relics left by Senior Master Feiyue," Xuan Shuang continued, "As for saving me, it was also unexpected."
Nodding his head, Yi Tian replied indifferently, "That is indeed the case. Otherwise, I wouldn't be wearing a mask and not showing my true face."
"Forgive me for being blunt. Senior, you killed Old Song and let me live because you planned to explore the secrets of the Snow Palace, didn't you?" Xuan Shuang asked.
Looking at Xuan Shuang, Yi Tian sighed and said, "You are indeed a great disciple of the Snow Palace. You can still talk to me so calmly in such a situation. I have to admire your courage."
A gloomy look flashed through Xuan Shuang's eyes. She said with a serious face, "Senior, can you tell me your real name? Then I will know who helped me twice today."
"Pfft." Yi Tian was amused by her words. He changed the topic and said, "Could it be that you really think I'm someone who hides my head and shows my tail? I'm Yi Tian. As for my identity, it's inconvenient for me to tell you."
Xuan Shuang replied respectfully, "Senior Yi, I'm very grateful for your help. Please don't worry. I didn't mention you to my master."
"Fairy Hao Yue probably guessed it when I fought against Shi Chongmou earlier for a disciple as quick-witted as you. It's just that there are far too many guests right now, and we're in the snowy palace, so it's not convenient for us to fight directly," Yi Tian teased. However, Xuan Shuang didn't tell Hao Yue about him. It seemed like this girl had some selfish motives.
Yi Tian, who had always been like this, couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He had come here to explore the Jade Origin Pond in search of an opportunity, but if he kept delaying like this, Haoyue would sooner or later catch up to him.
After thinking about it, he asked directly, "Do you know about the Jade Origin Pool?"
Xuan Shuang seemed to have expected this. She replied, "Senior Yi, you don't know. Senior Fei Yue was in charge of the Jade Origin Pool a hundred years ago. So when you said you came to take her things, I thought it was the key to the Jade Origin Pool."
After a pause, Xuan Shuang continued, "Senior, do you know the origin of the Jade Origin Pool and the token?"
"I'd like to hear the details."
Xuan Shuang pointed around and explained, "Senior, look. The spirit pools in the Jade Origin Pool were originally formed by the spring water overflowing from the Jade Origin Pool. If you want to enter the Jade Origin Pool, you must open the sealed door in the depths of the Jade Origin Palace. Senior Fei Yue's token should be the key. "
After taking out the hexagonal jade tablet, Yi Tian looked at it and said, "You're talking about this, right?"
Xuan Shuang scanned the place with her Soul Consciousness and nodded. "Yes, there should be two keys. My Master and Senior Uncle should each keep one of them. Either one can open the seal directly. There is no time to lose. Please come with me." Then, Xuan Shuang started to move forward.
After following her for a short while, they reached the end of the path and saw a simple stone door on the bare stone wall in front of them. There was a groove in the middle of the door, and upon closer inspection, it was in the shape of a hexagonal snowflake.
The two of them walked forward. Under Xuan Shuang's instruction, Yi Tian reached out his hand and inserted the hexagonal jade tablet into the groove. Then, he gently injected his spiritual power into it. After three breaths, there was a "ka ka" sound from behind the stone door. The stone door was activated and slowly opened by itself.
After Yi Tian walked through the door, he used his Divine Sense to scan the room. He found that the stone room was about two square meters in radius. In the middle was a sunken pool. A pool of clear water came into view. There was a water outlet extending from the side of the pool and seeping out of the room through a small gap.
Above the pool, there were several inverted stalactites. Water slowly dripped from the top of the stalactites.
Xuan Shuang then explained, "Senior Yi, above the Jade Origin Pool is the Snow Mountain behind the Snow Palace. The Spirit Crystal Water dripping from the stalactites is the essence of the Snow Mountain."
"How long will it take to fill the pool?" Yi Tian asked.
"At least three to five hundred years. That's why the Snow Palace usually uses the diluted Spirit Spring outside for their disciples. Even I have only used the pool outside," Xuan Shuang replied.
How could Yi Tian not understand when he heard that? Fairy Hao Yue had probably seen through his identity long ago. However, it made sense. Even if Xuan Shuang purposely hid it, it was not difficult for her to deduce his identity from the traces of battle in the Traceless Palace and the battle with Shi Chongmou.
Adding on the fact that he had saved Lian Yue, fairy Hao Yue was returning the favor. Yi Tian did not hold back. He directly strode into the Jade Origin Pool and sat down. The water just happened to reach his neck, leaving only his head above the water.
He glanced around and said slowly, "If you don't come in, you'll miss out on your opportunity."
Xuan Shuang's face reddened. After a while, she said, "Thank you for your kindness, senior Yi." With that, she stepped into the pool as well.
