Chapter 311: Chapter 310: Thousand-Year Ganoderma
At that mont, Ye Fan said, "Yanran, this is because of the jade bead!"
"How incredible!" Qin Yanran was shocked.
Ye Fan nodded. He looked up at the sky, which was completely shrouded in clouds and mist, giving the impression that they were at the juncture of heaven and earth. But on the peak of White Mountain, an icy domain belonging to the Bai Xue Family, how could Ye Fan find a millennia-old Ganoderma? He hadn’t seen a single White Mountain Ganoderma, let alone one that was a thousand years old. He unfolded the ancient scroll, hoping to find so information about it.
It contained only two brief phrases: *The summit of the snow mountain, the bottom of the Snow Pond.*
Looking at the ice-covered Snow Pond, a chill ran through Ye Fan’s heart. Could it be that the millennia-old Ganoderma is at the bottom of this pond? That seems impossible. A millennia-old Ganoderma growing at the bottom of the Snow Pond? That doesn’t fit the required growth conditions at all!
Because of this, Ye Fan spent the entire day searching the area but found nothing. Qin Yanran joined the search, nearly encountering danger several tis as the most hazardous areas were hidden beneath the snow and were impossible to judge. For her safety, Qin Yanran had no choice but to stay put while Ye Fan searched nearby.
Undoubtedly, the day was a wasted effort; he hadn’t found any Spiritual dicine. Ye Fan looked at the modest-sized Snow Pond, preparing to make an attempt the next day. He would search underwater. Perhaps that would yield so answers. It made sense, after all. Why would a millennia-old Spiritual dicine follow the rules of ordinary things?
「The next day」
Ye Fan said to Qin Yanran, who was standing on the shore, "Yanran, stay here. I’m going into the water to search!"
"No, Ye Fan!" Qin Yanran protested. "It’s too cold in there! It will be very dangerous!"
She was right. There were no birds or beasts here, and the water was utterly devoid of life. It would indeed be incredibly dangerous to search within.
But Ye Fan replied, "It’s okay. Don’t forget I still have the Ice Phoenix Pearl! I have to take the risk and try! There might really be an opportunity down there!"
For the sake of his won, Ye Fan was willing to try.
Touched, Qin Yanran said, "Ye Fan, maybe we aren’t worth you taking such a risk!"
Ye Fan laughed. "Silly girl, how could that be? You are all my beloveds, worth risking my entire life for!"
Wasting no more words, he quickly drew his Yuanhong Sword and slashed through the ice, which was about fifty centiters thick. It was so solid that even an object weighing several tons could fall on it without breaking through.
Ye Fan quickly leaped in. The mont he plunged into the water, he felt a bone-chilling cold. Fortunately, the Ice Phoenix Pearl began to glow, and he no longer felt the lake’s frigid temperature. He continued to swim downward. After about two minutes, he still hadn’t reached the bottom and grew concerned for Qin Yanran. She was quite far from him, and he was uncertain if the Ice Phoenix Pearl’s effect could reach her.
Concerned, he quickly swam back up. Reaching the underside of the ice, he broke through with his sword and called out to Qin Yanran, "Yanran, do you feel the cold?"
Standing on the shore, Qin Yanran answered, "Ye Fan, I don’t feel it at all! Maybe you should stop looking, it’s too dangerous down there!" she added, her voice filled with worry.
But Ye Fan gave her a reassuring look. "It’s alright. It’s not dangerous at all because I have the Ice Phoenix Pearl!"
Qin Yanran remained worried, but Ye Fan knew that ti was precious. He dove deep once more. This ti, he descended nearly a hundred ters into complete darkness. An ordinary person could never dive to such depths due to the imnse water pressure. Only an Emperor-level Master like Ye Fan could continue downward.
The bottom was still nowhere in sight. At around two hundred ters deep, Ye Fan began to feel the pressure. Even for a High-level Martial Artist, this depth was extrely risky. He was on the verge of giving up when he suddenly saw a dazzling light shining from far below.
A millennia-old Ganoderma? Is this really the legendary millennia-old Ganoderma? Its dazzling brilliance is almost too intense.
He took out the Ice Phoenix Pearl and pushed it forward. The water imdiately parted, forming a vortex-like hollow. Ye Fan stood in the middle of it, completely untouched by the water. Had he not experienced it firsthand, he would never have believed it was real.
He reached the bottom and saw a gleaming, crystal-clear millennia-old Ganoderma. It was truly miraculous.
Ye Fan carefully harvested it and held it in his hand. The spiritual energy was incredibly potent. Even without consuming it, he could feel its rich power, a truly invigorating sensation.
With the Ice Phoenix Pearl in hand, he feared nothing and quickly ascended. When he reached the surface, he stored away the millennia-old Ganoderma.
But Qin Yanran was gone.
Ye Fan started to panic. "Yanran, where are you?" he shouted.
Only his echo replied. He didn’t know where she could be. The entire process had taken less than an hour! Why would she suddenly vanish?
He scrambled ashore, but just then, he heard Qin Yanran’s panicked cry. He quickly rushed toward the sound.
"Ye Fan, don’t co over!" Qin Yanran warned him frantically.
Heedless, Ye Fan rushed forward. But as he did, more than a dozen figures suddenly leaped out from beneath the snowdrifts, surrounding him. Ye Fan went on full alert. He could tell they were mbers of the Ice Phoenix Sect; their clothing bore the sect’s emblem.
"So, friends from the Ice Phoenix Sect," Ye Fan said imdiately. "Why have you captured Yanran?"
At that mont, a stunningly beautiful woman erged from behind Qin Yanran. The woman was utterly cold, like an Ice Queen, dressed in a gown as white as a snow lotus.
She said to Ye Fan, "You killed my father!"
"What?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled. "Is your father the Ice Phoenix Sect Master?"
"That’s right!" she replied coldly.
Ye Fan chuckled. "This is a complete misunderstanding. Your father and I reconciled. How could I possibly kill him? Please, don’t make such jokes."
But the beautiful woman affird, "You beheaded him. Today, I will sever your head as an offering to his spirit in the heavens!"
"The Ice Phoenix Sect Master is dead?" Ye Fan asked, floored. The news was too shocking. He had just parted ways with the Sect Master on the battlefield not long ago. Even Ye Fan could hardly believe it.
"Shaless villain, stop your theatrics! Your expression disgusts ," the beautiful woman rebuked him coldly.
Ye Fan explained again, "I will state it one more ti: I did not kill your father. We did fight that day, but we truly reconciled afterward."
"It seems you won’t be satisfied until you’re at death’s door. Very well, allow
to show you what true cruelty is!"
She extended her hand and clamped it around Qin Yanran’s neck. Qin Yanran’s pretty face turned deathly pale as she struggled to breathe.
