Chapter 127 Obtaining Water Spirit Stones
Since receiving the system's luck boost, Lin Zhifeng's luck stat has increased significantly. However, thanks to the Treasure-Hunting Rat's outstanding performance, he hasn't had a chance to use this ability yet.
Now that the treasure-hunting rat can't help, Lin Zhifeng, having to rely solely on himself, decides to leave everything to fate.
In short, just follow your instincts!
Since he felt that what lay ahead was somewhat unusual, he decided to swim in that direction.
What if?
We should definitely go and find out what's going on.
Lin Zhifeng swam for a while longer, and sure enough, the further he swam in that direction, the colder the water became.
If it was just cool when I first entered the water, it's freezing cold now.
Although he began to feel unwell, Lin Zhifeng felt a glimmer of hope; he knew that something unusual must mean something big was about to happen.
He channeled his spiritual energy to form a protective layer on the surface of his body.
Although doing this will consume a lot of spiritual energy, it can insulate against low temperatures.
If Lin Zhifeng didn't do this, his body would freeze before his spiritual energy was completely depleted. At that point, he wouldn't be able to stay underwater any longer either.
Lin Zhifeng swam for a while longer, but found nothing—all around him was an endless expanse of cold, icy water.
Just as Lin Zhifeng was thinking about trying to look in a different direction, a silver light suddenly flew towards his face.
He reflexively reached out and grabbed something that was slender but soft, with a layer of tiny scales covering its surface.
Based on its slender shape and the feel of its scales, Lin Zhifeng guessed that the creature that attacked him was probably a snake.
When he surfaced, he held up what he was holding to examine it closely.
The creature he suspected was a small snake writhed and twisted stubbornly in his hand, even attempting to bite Lin Zhifeng. Unfortunately for it, Lin Zhifeng had it firmly in his grasp, and it was completely under his control, unable to escape or harm anyone.
Lin Zhifeng carefully examined the object in his hand and was surprised to find that it was not a snake, but a small silver dragon.
Lin Zhifeng was also taken aback. How come he didn't know that there were dragons in the cultivation world? What was its identity? How did it end up here?
Lin Zhifeng tried to reason with the little silver dragon in a gentle voice, saying, "I won't hurt you. If you promise not to bite, I won't hold you like this."
"I have something to ask you, can you speak?"
After asking, Lin Zhifeng was still worried that the little silver dragon hadn't yet cultivated into a spirit, so it probably wouldn't be able to speak.
Fortunately, the little silver dragon stopped wriggling the next second and spoke in human language: "Okay, I promise I won't bite you, so please release this king immediately."
Lin Zhifeng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Return the principal to the king?
This king is so tiny, it's not much bigger than a loach.
Although he found it amusing, he still released the little silver dragon as instructed, and instead of choking it, he held it in his palm.
The little silver dragon, now free, shook itself a few times before finally settling into Lin Zhifeng's hand.
Then it raised its head, blinked its big eyes, and asked, "Hurry up and ask what you want to ask, and then let this great king go back."
Lin Zhifeng smiled and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, are you the Dragon King of this pool?"
The little silver dragon scoffed, "This little pond? There isn't even a single living creature here, how could there possibly be a Dragon King?"
Lin Zhifeng asked in confusion, "Then why are you here?"
The little silver dragon said, "I am not originally a creature of this world. By chance, I wandered into this place. Now I can get in but can't get out. With no other choice, I have to take refuge in this pool."
Lin Zhifeng said, "Then you must be very familiar with this pond. Can I ask you a question?"
The little silver dragon asked, "What's the problem?"
Lin Zhifeng said, "Is there a mineral called Water Spirit Stone in this pool? Where is it now? Could you please point out its exact location? I will be very grateful!"
The little silver dragon said, "I knew you came for the water spirit stone. But I'll have to disappoint you; I can't tell you its location. Because that water spirit stone is also somewhat beneficial to me. Otherwise, if I stayed here, I wouldn't be able to cultivate, and when would I ever be able to leave?"
Lin Zhifeng said, "It's easy for you to leave here. I'll take you with me. I took in a treasure-hunting rat from another world when I was in another secret realm. I promised it that I would find a way to help it return to its original world, and now it's with me."
The little silver dragon was somewhat tempted by Lin Zhifeng's words; going to the outside world was definitely better than staying here. This place was deserted; it had stayed here for many years before Lin Zhifeng and his group came.
Moreover, this place is a stagnant pool with nothing in it; it's so boring.
After thinking for a long time, Little Silver Dragon decided to go with Lin Zhifeng.
Since we've decided to leave, we definitely need to retrieve the water spirit stones from the pool and take them with us.
The little silver dragon wrapped itself around Lin Zhifeng's wrist and led him to find the water spirit stone.
The water spirit stone was hidden by the little silver dragon above a spring in the pool. If the little silver dragon hadn't led the way, Lin Zhifeng might not have been able to find it on his own.
So it's really thanks to the little silver dragon for "walking right into the trap"!
Lin Zhifeng took the water spirit stone out of the spring, and the temperature of the pool water instantly rose by several degrees, and the freezing feeling from before was greatly reduced.
The water spirit stone looks more like the crystal from Lin Zhifeng's original world. This particular water spirit stone is only the size of an egg, yet it possesses such immense power. No wonder it's the ultimate material for upgrading ice-type spirit swords!
Lin Zhifeng put the water spirit stone into the system's storage. He then swam towards the shore, wearing the little silver dragon's "bracelet".
When he came out of the water, he dried himself off and called to his brothers to come back to work.
Knowing that Lin Zhifeng had found the Water Spirit Stone, everyone dared not delay and quickly went ashore to get dressed.
As they packed up, they remarked, "It seems that even if we don't stay, Xiao Linzi can still find the Water Spirit Stone."
Jinzi exclaimed, "If any of us were to find a Water Spirit Stone, it would definitely be Linzi. Have you forgotten his incredible feat of getting into the finals through the draw? His luck was extraordinary."
Everyone chimed in, "How could we forget? This is truly an eye-opener!"
Lin Zhifeng was busy signing a human-pet contract with the little silver dragon.
Because the little silver dragon shouted, "I am the Dragon King, and I will never be a slave!"
Lin Zhifeng had no choice but to sign a regular pet contract with it.
This contract is between two equal parties who mutually choose each other, and either party can terminate the contract at any time.
After signing the contract, Lin Zhifeng put the little silver dragon into his pet ring.
Through the contract, Lin Zhifeng learned that the little silver dragon's name was "Amber".
