Chapter 783 - 659: Foundation, Accomplished
The dragon didn’t pause for a moment and, without minding Qin An and Li Ruofeng, turned directly around and vanished into the cold pool.
Although the pool water was extremely hot and bubbling, it posed no hindrance to the dragon.
Soon after, the previously boiling pool water gradually calmed, as if someone had dropped a piece of ice into it.
Then, the voice of the dragon echoed from the depths of the pool.
"Mr. Qin, please halt for now."
Qin An nodded slightly and then controlled the power of the dragon veins to temporarily stop the array.
The moment the array stopped, the scorching sensation disappeared completely.
Following this, the previously calm pool water suddenly formed a whirlpool, and the dragon emerged from the water, with a small dragon lying on its back.
The small dragon was only the size of a palm, curiously looking around, its big eyes full of exploration for this world.
After emerging from the water, the dragon instantly transformed into a burly man, cradling the small dragon and kneeling on the ground, solemnly kowtowing thrice to Qin An.
Qin An turned slightly sideways, only acknowledging half the salute, and said, "Senior, there’s no need for such a grand gesture. This was merely a transaction. I helped you solve a problem and took the manifest saint relic; therefore, there’s no need for such formality."
Qin An had always been a principled person and saw today’s actions as nothing more than a transaction, thus didn’t feel the need for the dragon’s grand gesture.
The dragon lifted its head, stood up slowly, and shook his head, saying, "Whether it’s a transaction or not, Mr. Qin helped untie the biggest knot in my heart and saved my child. To me, Mr. Qin is my greatest benefactor."
Li Ruofeng stood by, looking at the small dragon in the dragon’s hands, suddenly filled with emotion, "Unexpectedly, after spending so much time, you finally got what you wished for. It’s truly your joy and the blessing of our Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple."
The dragon turned around, saying, "All of this is thanks to Mr. Qin."
Without hesitation, Li Ruofeng turned, clasping his fists toward Qin An, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Qin!"
His gratitude was heartfelt.
For in his view, Qin An not only helped the dragon but also gave the Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple a strong ally.
After all, an expert in the Manifest Saint Realm could act as a pillar in any force.
The Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple would gain significant enhancement because of this.
Qin An waved his hand, saying, "Okay, let’s not go through all this worldly courtesy, nor worry about these elaborate ceremonies. Let’s be straightforward."
"Now that I have helped you complete this matter, remove the toxins from the manifest saint relic and just give it to me."
He didn’t want to waste any time and, after finding the relic, intended to go back to train his Scholar Profession proficiency, aiming to reach level twenty-four as soon as possible to undergo the next qualitative change, allowing him to devote all his time to proficiency training.
Li Ruofeng knew Qin An was a straightforward person and wasted no time himself, turning to look at the dragon.
The dragon didn’t hesitate, a flash of light passing through its hands instantly.
A transparent, round bead appeared before Qin An.
Inside the round bead, semi-transparent water flowed, emitting an extremely strong cold air.
Its appearance instantly lowered the temperature of the entire rear mountain by a lot.
Li Ruofeng didn’t hesitate, with a wave of his fingers, light flickered forming an invisible barrier, encapsulating the bead inside.
The cold air tried to break through the barrier but was blocked, and the originally dropping temperature gradually returned to normal.
Soon after, Li Ruofeng waved his sleeve again, and the Frozen Cold Water fell into his sleeve.
Only then did Li Ruofeng say, "Mr. Qin, there’s no time to waste. Let’s return immediately and cleanse the toxins from the manifest saint relic."
Qin An nodded without further words and turned to walk down the mountain.
Li Ruofeng followed behind, and the two disappeared at the end of the mountain path.
The dragon watched their figures intently, the emotion in its eyes growing richer.
After a long while, he dived back into the cold pool with the small dragon in his arms.
Soon, the place was empty again, as if nothing had happened.
...
Back at the Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple, Qin An and Li Ruofeng didn’t pause for a moment and quickly arrived at the place where the manifest saint relic was stored.
Qin An said nothing, standing patiently to the side, as he also didn’t know how to utilize the power of the Frozen Cold Water to neutralize the toxins in the manifest saint relic.
Li Ruofeng stepped forward and directly held the bead emitting cold air, opening the wooden box in front of Qin An.
The moment the box opened, the manifest saint relic covered in black aura began to shake violently.
The toxins within seemed ready to break through the relic at any moment, threatening to turn the whole world into a realm of death.
Li Ruofeng didn’t pause, immediately tossing the Frozen Cold Water into the wooden box right before Qin An’s eyes.
As the Frozen Cold Water landed on the manifest saint relic, Li Ruofeng immediately began guiding with Void Essence.
Soon after, the Frozen Cold Water seemed to find an outlet, encompassing all the toxins on the manifest saint relic.
Qin An watched this scene, a look of realization crossing his face.
Just now, he had been wondering how the Frozen Cold Water removed the toxins.
No longer did he have to speculate; this thing directly froze the toxins with its extremely low temperature, which seemed quite miraculous.
Qin An didn’t understand the principle, but now wasn’t the time to discuss it.
As time passed, after a stick of incense worth of time, the Frozen Cold Water vanished completely.
With the disappearance of the Frozen Cold Water, the toxins on the manifest saint relic also vanished entirely, replaced by a radiance that captivated all eyes.
