621: The Feast of Toads and Rats Under the Cold Moon! A Test from the Ancestor!
Inside the Moon Snake Clan's Cold Moon Palace.
Su Lie was curiously observing the decorations in the palace.
The decorations here were not paintings or sculptures.
Instead, they were the lives of various races, frozen one by one within the palace's ice walls.
Among them were twelve-winged Archangels, Titan Giants, Dwarves, Gnomes, Goblins, various fierce beasts, spiders, Half-Beastmen, grotesquely shaped aberrations, deep-sea octopuses, and more.
In his perception.
The walls contained an extremely vast power of ice.
This power was as immense as a sea of smoke, making Su Lie feel as if he were in a vast ocean, facing an endless storm with a sense of powerlessness.
Yue Xin, one of the three Yue Ling sisters walking ahead, slowed her pace. Seeing Su Lie observing the ice wall, she gently introduced, "Brother-in-law! These are all supreme powerhouses who once tried to annihilate the Moon Snake Clan!"
"After they were crushed by our Ancestor, their souls were extracted, and their great rules were stripped away!"
"Moon Ancestor sealed their corpses here permanently, firstly to warn our Moon Snake Clan not to become complacent and arrogant, lest we lose our lives, and not to bully the weak, lest we suffer an unexpected setback!"
"At the same time, this is also a warning! To all the myriad races, that our Moon Snake Clan is not to be trifled with!"
Her voice was like the tinkling of flowing water, quite pleasant to listen to.
When Su Lie walked past the ice wall, he asked in confusion, "Why are there no humans?"
"Hehe! Human supreme powerhouses have always been like rats scurrying across the street, chased and gnawed by various races. They barely have time to escape, so how would they dare to come here and act wild!"
Yue Xin couldn't help but sneer after hearing this.
Yue Ling, who was ahead, paused her steps, turned her head to glare at Yue Xin, and then hugged Su Lie's arm, "My Su Lie will chase and gnaw on the supreme powerhouses of all races in the future! We are not rats scurrying across the street!"
"Oh! Oh! Oh! They say a daughter married out is like water spilled, and you, girl, haven't even formally married your brother-in-law, yet you're already siding with him!"
Big Sister Yue Hua covered her mouth and teased.
Soon, the three sisters started bickering.
The second section of the palace's path displayed various weapons from different races.
Su Lie wanted to use his Identification Talent to identify them, but found that with his current knowledge, he couldn't.
One must know.
He had passed the assessment of the Mist Vocational School.
He knew almost all kinds of materials from the myriad worlds.
"It seems there's only one possibility! These are Dao-level weapons! It's not that my knowledge is insufficient, but that I haven't yet come into contact with this level of power!"
Su Lie pondered in his heart.
Soon.
He followed the three women into a cozy corridor and arrived at a small room with only 5 seats.
Hot meals were laid out on the table in the small room.
An amiable old grandmother was seated at the main table.
"Ancestor!"
The three Yue Ling sisters quieted down upon entering the room, bowing respectfully.
Su Lie quickly followed, greeting, "Ancestor!"
"Come! Come! Come! Grandson-in-law, sit next to me; the three of you can sit wherever you like!"
The Ancestor smiled and nodded, warmly inviting Su Lie to sit beside her.
After everyone was seated.
The Ancestor rotated a dish to Su Lie, smiling as she said, "We don't have much in the way of delicacies here, so please don't take offense! This dish is called Three-Call Dish, made from the young of the Golden Toad Clan. When eating it, you must use these cold ice glazed chopsticks to pick it up!"
As she introduced it, she picked up a pair of chopsticks and grasped one.
Squeak!
A crisp sound rang out.
At this moment, Su Lie clearly felt a strange power being transmitted through the cold ice glazed chopsticks to the Ancestor.
The Ancestor turned to look at Su Lie, blinking, "Next, you must dip it in this Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Extract!"
Squeak!
The Golden Toad's sound rang out again.
This time, Su Lie discovered that the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Extract was actually cleansing the Golden Toad's bloodline.
Its bloodline seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation.
The Ancestor took two more glances at Su Lie before putting the food held by the chopsticks into her mouth.
Squeak!
Another cry rang out.
After that.
Su Lie felt the Ancestor's aura seemed to have increased by a fraction: "This dish has a profound meaning!"
"Haha! Come! Grandson-in-law, have a taste! This is a great tonic!"
The Ancestor gestured for Su Lie to pick up his chopsticks and eat.
The three Yue Ling sisters quietly watched Su Lie, their eyes full of envy.
Su Lie didn't know how precious this item was, only that this dish seemed to bring him some benefit.
He mimicked the Ancestor's actions and began to taste it.
At the first squeak, Su Lie felt a wave of vibrating power cleanse his entire body through the cold ice glazed chopsticks.
At this moment.
He clearly felt his mind become clearer.
And he also felt the power of cleansing.
"This power can increase purification and sanity values?"
Su Lie's heart stirred. When he dipped it in the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Extract, the Golden Toad's cry rang out again.
He had initially thought this was to cleanse the Golden Toad's bloodline.
In reality.
This cry actually made his Spirit feel refreshed.
Immediately after.
Su Lie discovered in surprise.
The divine sense in his Purple Mansion let out a crisp sound.
The 2826 strands of divine sense actually split into 5652 strands with this cry.
Among these divine senses, a total of 2825 strands were obtained yesterday, and one strand condensed by itself today.
So it was 2826.
Now, because of this cry.
Su Lie's most direct feeling was that his perception ability was countless times stronger than before.
This made his eyes light up, and he couldn't help but turn to look at the Ancestor.
The Ancestor smiled, gesturing with her hand for Su Lie to continue.
Su Lie then opened his mouth and ate it.
As the third squeak rang out.
The young Golden Toad melted into a ball of bloodline power.
Su Lie tasted a sweet, icy flavor.
And at this moment.
A prompt appeared in his vision.
【Buzz!】
【Congratulations, you have successfully awakened the mutated Cold Ice Golden Toad King Bloodline!】
【Your attribute growth value increases by 500,000 points, and the free attribute points gained per level increase by 500,000 points!】
【The total critical strike multiplier for Treasure Refining in the Bloodline Formation increases by 15 times!】
...Su Lie looked at the prompt before his eyes, utterly shocked. He exclaimed, "This is... bloodline?... A precious Refiner bloodline?"
One must know.
Through his own efforts, his basic attribute growth value had only just reached 1,000,000 points, and the free attribute points gained per level were 1,000,000 points.
This was an achievement he had gained by absorbing a full 17 bloodline entries.
But now.
He had only eaten one Golden Toad and gained 500,000 points of growth value.
This was simply incredible!
Furthermore, the total critical strike multiplier for Treasure Refining in the Bloodline Formation had increased by 15 times.
This raised his total critical strike multiplier for Treasure Refining to 60 times.
In other words.
If he were to use the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace for Treasure Refining now.
Under the blessings of the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace's professional auxiliary Skill, the Bloodline Formation, and the furnace itself.
He would gain a Treasure Refining critical strike multiplier of 66 quintillion 0010 quadrillion 1967 trillion times.
How could this not excite him!
At this moment.
His gasp had just sounded.
Another prompt appeared in his vision.
【Buzz!】
【Congratulations, you have successfully awakened a red god-tier conceptual Talent: Moon!】
【Moon: red god-tier; conceptual Talent;】
【You can learn all special Talents, divine abilities, cultivation methods, and Skills related to the Moon, and when Skills, Talents, divine abilities, and cultivation methods awaken, their base data will increase by 100,000 times.】
【Note: This Talent is exclusive to the Silver Moon Clan!】
"Hiss?"
Su Lie's heart skipped a beat after reading it, and he quickly stood up, "Thank you, Ancestor!"
The Ancestor laughed heartily and once again rotated a dish to Su Lie. This time, the dish contained an ice sculpture of a Golden Toad.
This Golden Toad was lifelike, appearing no different from a living creature.
And in Su Lie's perception, it was indeed still alive.
"Grandson-in-law! This is our Moon Snake Clan's second special product, the Moon Cold Ice Toad. It has two effects, which you will know after consuming it!"
The Ancestor still used her own chopsticks, first picking one up and eating it whole.
At this moment.
The three Yue Ling sisters had the Three-Call Dish in front of them, and they actually started eating it directly, with quite satisfied expressions.
Su Lie said no more, picked up his chopsticks, and grabbed one.
This Moon Cold Ice Toad felt soft and glutinous when picked up, looking like a jelly ice toad.
When Su Lie ate it.
The flavor of this ice toad actually became rich.
It contained the coolness and coldness of ice, and after these two flavors passed, it transformed into a warm power.
When this power reached Su Lie's stomach, it actually transformed into a wondrous energy.
It quickly spread throughout his body via the stomach's transportation.
And at this moment.
Su Lie's personal panel automatically popped up.
He was shocked to discover.
His three basic attributes: Life, Spirit, and Speed, had actually increased by 100 trillion.
【Life: 222 trillion 0182 billion 920 million; Spirit: 222 trillion 0182 billion 920 million; Stamina: Unlimited; Speed: 120 trillion 2182 billion 920 million;】
The immense power made Su Lie's whole body feel hot.
He quickly closed the panel.
Su Lie looked at the Ancestor in surprise, just about to say something.
But he saw.
The Ancestor still smiled faintly, and she introduced the third dish to Su Lie: "This dish is called Mooncake! I know you have such food there too, but this Mooncake is different from yours! You should try it!"
"Remember! You can only eat one!"
This time, the Ancestor moved her chopsticks.
Because there was only one mooncake on the plate.
This mooncake was about the size of a quail egg, its appearance similar to an ordinary mooncake, and it emitted a silvery glow.
Su Lie didn't doubt her, nor did he feel it appropriate to use his Identification power. He picked it up and ate it directly.
The mooncake was quite sweet, with the unique flavor of red bean paste, and it also had a hint of icy coolness.
It was very delicious to eat.
As Su Lie finished eating this mooncake.
【Buzz!】
Another prompt appeared in his vision.
【Congratulations, you have successfully awakened a red god-tier conceptual Skill: Silver Moon Rule Condensation Skill!】
【Silver Moon Rule Condensation Skill: red god-tier; conceptual Skill;】
【Draw upon the power of the Silver Moon, and with the aid of rule fragments, condense Silver Moon Rules.】
【Condensation Requirement: During the time the moon appears】
【Material Requirement: Each complete Silver Moon Rule requires 10 billion units of rule fragments】
【Consumption: Each use consumes 1 trillion Spirit attribute points】
【Note: This Skill is an exclusive Talent of the Moon Snake Clan, requiring the awakening of the moon chill bloodline, Moon Talent, and at least 100 trillion points in all four basic attributes to be awakened.】
【Note: This Skill can be condensed in batches or condensed once, but each condensation consumes 1 trillion Spirit attribute points.】
【Note: This Skill is a resource condensation type Skill.】
【Note: This Skill cannot be stolen, cannot be sealed, and cannot be stripped away.】
"Hoo! The Ancestor is really playing a long game!"
Su Lie's heart trembled as he realized that these three dishes each had their own significance.
The first dish should be a welcoming gift.
The second and third dishes were a combination.
This left Su Lie a bit confused.
And he couldn't figure it out.
What exactly did the Moon Snake Clan's Ancestor want to do?
How could there be a reason to give benefits directly without stating the task or conditions!
Though Su Lie had doubts, he could only suppress them.
He stood up and bowed respectfully to the Ancestor, "Thank you for the Ancestor's great gift!"
No matter what, this bow was necessary.
Because he had already accepted her favors.
"I do this not for you, not for me, and not for the clan! It's for this girl of mine! Yue Ling has been mischievous since childhood, always liking to run around, and I never expected her to be tied down by you in the end!"
The Ancestor smiled faintly, "Although your human race is weak, your strength lies in your extremely powerful adaptability and plasticity!"
"Her following you, I am both at ease and not at ease!"
"So, these three dishes are my welcoming gift to you!"
"As for the tasks and transactions here, they will be calculated separately!"
"You mustn't, just because you've received my favors, decide you don't want my Silver Moon Rules!"
She said it jokingly.
Su Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Yue Ling.
He saw Yue Ling couldn't help but shed tears, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at the Ancestor.
Su Lie said to the Ancestor, "Please rest assured! ..."
The subsequent conversation was very smooth.
And the other dishes couldn't compare to the first three.
After the meal.
Only then did the Ancestor arrange for Yue Xin and Yue Hua to go fetch something.
She led Su Lie and Yue Ling to the adjacent tea room.
Yue Ling skillfully prepared tea and cups.
The Ancestor, holding Su Lie's hand, sat down and smiled, "My name is Moon Rabbit! The 19,567th generation head of the Moon Clan!"
"I have lived through countless years, and I have never seen anyone possess the power to heal worlds!"
"However!"
"Among the myriad races, countless possess this power!"
"But the most famous is the Immeasurable Pharmacist Heavenly Venerate!"
"You wouldn't have received his inheritance, would you, young man?"
This was a probe.
Su Lie shook his head, denying, "No! Ancestor! You misunderstand! What I awakened is a conceptual unique power called Mysterious Yellow Energy! This Skill must use Mysterious Yellow Energy to heal worlds, and what truly functions is the Mysterious Yellow Energy!"
"But there's one thing!"
"Worlds healed by Mysterious Yellow Energy will leave behind seeds of Mysterious Yellow Energy!"
"Don't worry, after the world is healed, I will extract the Mysterious Yellow Energy!"
"This process might cause the world to lose some power!"
He said calmly.
The Ancestor nodded silently upon hearing this, "Good! Since that's the case, I won't be polite with you! Come with me!"
Saying that.
She raised her hand and pointed.
Two vines grew out of thin air on the ground in front of them.
The vines wove themselves into a vine gate.
The gate was two meters high and two meters wide.
When it fully formed, a spatial ripple surged within it.
The Ancestor led Su Lie, stepped through the portal, and entered a bright, slightly cold world...
