Chapter 596: Lake Bottom Treasure

On top of an ancient, jade-like tree, two jade doll-like fruits hung silently. Surrounded by a six-colored halo, they appeared incredibly mysterious and captivating.

Zhou Yuan and Luoluo, standing below, were both stunned by the two jade doll-like fruits, remaining silent for quite a while.

"Hoo..." Zhou Yuan finally came to his senses, letting out a deep breath. "I knew it," he said. "Even though there are many treasures in the Six-Colored Lake, they didn't quite seem to match the name of a Six-Colored Treasure Land. So, the real treasure was here all along."

Luoluo also nodded vigorously, her large, glistening eyes filled with a covetous look. Previously, during the distribution within their Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace, although she had gained a fair amount, she had only barely managed to condense a four-colored Divine Construction Treasure within her Qi Residence.

This was clearly still far from what Luoluo needed.

But she couldn't ask for more. After all, Tang Xiaoyan and Zhao Ru were the leaders of the team. Although she had been taken in as a personal disciple by the Palace Master, her current strength and experience were still insufficient, making it impossible for her to receive the largest share of benefits.

And this was the main reason why Luoluo had come out alone to seek opportunities.

Zhou Yuan turned to Luoluo and smiled, "One for each of us?"

Luoluo nodded cheerfully. If it were anyone else with her right now, upon seeing the two six-colored Divine Construction Treasures, they would likely already be scheming against each other.

After all, everyone knew the value of a six-colored Divine Construction Treasure; no one would ever think they had too many.

Even if they obtained one, they would still desire a second, using it to climb to an even higher level!

But Luoluo clearly trusted Zhou Yuan greatly. After all, they were comrades who had fought side by side. And as someone with a clear understanding of beast hearts, Luoluo's perception of human hearts also possessed a talent that was difficult for ordinary people to match.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan smiled, and with a flick of his sleeve, a golden stream of Genesis Qi swept out, soaring directly to the treetop and plucking the two jade doll-like fruits radiating a six-colored halo.

The retrieval was extremely smooth, encountering no obstruction. It was likely that the Spirit Ghost Python was the guardian beast of this place, but now that even it had been subdued by Luoluo, there was naturally nothing to hinder them.

As the Genesis Qi descended, Zhou Yuan extended his hand and grasped the two jade doll-like fruits.

The moment he held them, Zhou Yuan could clearly sense the surging, pure power contained within. This immediately caused the five-colored Divine Construction Treasure within his Qi Residence to vibrate intensely.

A wave of intense craving emanated from it.

Zhou Yuan suppressed the craving in his heart and handed one of the jade doll fruits to Luoluo.

Luoluo quickly reached out her small hand to take it and couldn't help but bounce with excitement. She pressed the jade doll fruit tightly against her small face, her adorable face full of contentment.

"Thank you, Zhou Yuan!" A moment later, she recovered and sweetly thanked Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan smiled and waved his hand, temporarily putting away the six-colored Divine Construction Treasure. He then slowly walked to the golden pool of water, from which the jade tree had grown.

The golden pool water appeared somewhat viscous. At this moment, the Spirit Ghost Python was soaking in it, its body constantly trembling. However, Zhou Yuan could feel that the injuries the Spirit Ghost Python had previously sustained seemed to be rapidly healing.

Clearly, this golden pool water was also extraordinary.

"What is this?" Luoluo walked closer, gazed at the golden pool, then squatted down, and gently dipped her slender, jade-like finger into it.

However, as soon as her finger went in, she quickly pulled it back, her small face contorted with pain, and her fingertip was completely red.

"It hurts so much!" she cried.

Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, then also extended his palm and slowly dipped it into the golden pool. The moment it entered, he felt intense pain surge through him, the golden water feeling like lava.

However, Zhou Yuan did not immediately pull his hand back, because the intense pain was not unbearable.

He kept his hand in for several minutes, and then a hint of ecstasy suddenly appeared in his eyes, because he discovered that although the golden pool water caused intense pain upon contact, it had an unimaginable tempering effect on the physical body.

"It's even stronger than the Water-Fire Dragon Forging Platform on Saint Origin Peak!" Zhou Yuan's heart trembled with immense surprise. His Lesser Mystical Saint Body had been stuck at the Silver Bone stage, the second level, and he had consistently been unable to break through to the third level, the Gold Blood stage.

Physical body cultivation was inherently difficult. Without the aid of divine objects, one could only improve little by little over a long period.

Although Zhou Yuan didn't reject steady progress, if there was a way to rapidly advance without damaging his foundation, he naturally wouldn't refuse it.

Like the Water-Fire Dragon Forging Platform, and like this golden pool of water before him.

Based on his previous personal experience, Zhou Yuan believed that if he could utilize the power of this golden pool, his Lesser Mystical Saint Body would very likely reach the long-awaited Gold Blood stage.

At that point, he might be able to overpower all chief disciples within the Cangxuan Heaven simply by relying on his physical strength!

"Zhou Yuan, are you alright?" Luoluo, seeing Zhou Yuan keep his hand submerged in the fearsome golden pool, quickly asked.

Zhou Yuan smiled and shook his head, not hiding anything. "This golden pool water is also a great treasure," he said. "It has a miraculous effect on physical body cultivation. Since we're here, let's not miss out; we should collect it."

Hearing this, Luoluo shook her head repeatedly and said, "If you want it, you can have it. I'm not interested in cultivating my physical body."

Cultivating the physical body involved great pain. Every transformation of the body came with pain that ordinary people could hardly bear. Luoluo only wanted to cultivate with her cute Genesis Beasts; she didn't want to endure such pain.
