Chapter 556: 556: Assaulting the Marquis_1
For an entire night.
Polly lay in bed without sleeping, constantly pondering this issue.
Finally, at dawn, Polly got up from the bed.
“Mr. Smith is the deputy sect master of Green Moon Villa. Giving him Ice Heart might be a way of keeping him in Beaufort Tower,” Polly took a deep breath.
This might be the best choice for her.
So, Polly got up and walked towards Ethan Smith’s room.
When she reached the door, she heard the sound of alchemy coming from inside.
This further confirmed Polly’s idea!
“Mr. Smith has been wholeheartedly devoted to Green Moon Villa. Perhaps I really should give him Ice Heart.”
Thinking this, Polly pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing Polly walk in, Ethan stood up slowly and smiled, “Patriarch Reeves, what brings you here?”
Polly clenched her teeth and whispered, “Mr. Smith, if I give you Ice Heart, you’ll be able to step into Military Marquis, right?”
“Ice Heart?” Ethan was taken aback.
Polly nodded, “It’s right below the gap.”
Ethan said in a deep voice, “I have a 90% chance.”
“Alright!” Polly made up her mind.
“Then come with me, I’ll take you to open that gap now.”
After saying that, Polly turned and walked out.
Ethan’s heart was overwhelmed with excitement, and he couldn’t help but shout in his mind.
“Finally, I’ve deceived it!” Ethan almost jumped for joy!
Although it was indeed a combination of deception and cheating, if Ethan didn’t take it, it would eventually belong to the Great Saint Sect.
At least Ethan could help Green Moon Villa step back into glory.
Ethan forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and followed Polly to Iceheart Lake.
Standing by the lake, Polly clenched her lips tight.
She looked up at Ethan and said, “You’re definitely going to promote Green Moon Villa, right?”
Ethan said in a deep voice, “Our first goal is to replace the Great Saint Sect.”
“Okay!” Polly nodded.
Then, she took the lead and stepped into Iceheart Lake.
Ethan didn’t waste any time and followed her.
The two dove deep into Iceheart Lake and soon arrived at the gap.
Polly held her hands together, chanting under her breath.
The gap began to flicker with light.
Subsequently, the gap grew larger, big enough to be the size of a circular disc!
One after another, icicles blue in color leaked out from the gap.
Polly stretched out her hand and pointed at the gap, “Ice Heart is right here.”
Ethan stared intently at the gap.
Inside, there was a stone that resembled a block of ice, shimmering with a pale blue glow. It looked incredibly beautiful underwater.
A rich qi gushed out from it.
In an instant, the qi in the entire Iceheart Lake soared!
Ethan reached out his trembling hand and took the Ice Heart from the gap.
“Is this the Ice Heart? The legendary Ice Heart that has been passed down for ten thousand years…” Ethan’s eyes flickered with a strange light, and his emotions took a long time to calm down.
“Mr. Smith, let’s go up.” Polly whispered.
After saying that, she took the lead and swam upwards.
Ethan temporarily stored the Ice Heart in the Spatial Magic Artifact, then went ashore.
“Patriarch Reeves, thank you.” Ethan sincerely bowed to Polly.
Polly sighed and whispered, “I’ve thought it through as well. The news of Ice Heart has already spread, and keeping it would be a disaster.”
At this point, Polly looked at Ethan and said, “Once you take this Ice Heart, how will others cultivate?”Ethan Smith chuckled, “Don’t worry, once I kill Joshua Hess, I’ll dominate the Great Saint Sect.”
“By then, the Great Saint Sect will be our new Green Moon Villa’s sect.”
Seeing this, Polly Reeves had no choice but to nod.
“Time is of the essence, I won’t chat with you now,” Ethan Smith said.
Joshua Hess had mentioned that he would only give him three days.
Ethan Smith had to devour this Ice Heart within these three days!
As long as he stepped into the Military Marquis Realm, he no longer needed to fear Joshua Hess!
Taking the Ice Heart, Ethan Smith returned to his room.
“Patriarch Reeves, I must not be disturbed during these few days,” Ethan Smith said.
Polly Reeves nodded, “Alright, I understand.”
Ethan Smith closed the door.
He took out the Ice Heart, feeling the qi from it.
Then, Ethan Smith opened all the pores of his body, rapidly devouring the Ice Heart with incredible speed!
Endless qi surged into Ethan Smith’s body.
Its speed was astonishing!
Even Ethan Smith himself was surprised, as the qi in the Ice Heart was more concentrated and pure than he had imagined!
There was practically no impurity in the Ice Heart!
“I’ve never experienced such pure qi before!” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but gasp!
Even five thousand-year-old herbs and the storeroom of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion were incomparable to it.
“I understand now!” Ethan Smith suddenly guessed something!
This so-called Ice Heart was actually a piece of ice formed from pure qi!
When the qi was dense enough, it was said to condense into dew.
Now that the qi had directly turned into a whole block of ice, its concentration was self-evident!
In the current society, being able to get a little resource from the mouths of the Capital City Martial Arts Association and various Great Families was already a great fortune.
For an Ice Heart with such a dense qi concentration, it was simply unimaginable!
“Fortunately, I targeted the Great Saint Sect, not the Capital City Martial Arts Association,” thought Ethan Smith.
Otherwise, this Ice Heart would’ve likely changed hands, and with their capabilities, they could’ve extracted the Ice Heart even without Polly Reeves.
As time passed minute by minute, a day went by in the blink of an eye.
In this day’s time, the qi in the Ice Heart had barely diminished at all!
This began to make Ethan Smith a little anxious.
After all, time was short, and he couldn’t afford to wait.
After some thought, he simply broke off a small piece of the Ice Heart and stuffed it into his mouth.
The instant this small piece of Ice Heart entered his stomach, Ethan Smith immediately felt an intense qi exploding in his dantian!
“Damn it!”
Ethan Smith secretly cursed!
The Ice Heart hadn’t been in his stomach for even a second, but it already filled his entire dantian!
If the Ice Heart were to completely melt, wouldn’t it burst his dantian?
Ethan Smith hurriedly began circulating his cultivation technique, trying to digest the qi.
But, with the qi concentration exceeding his imagination, a sharp pain came from his lower abdomen!
The violent qi started flowing upward from Ethan Smith’s dantian.
It filled his chest and forehead, almost completely stuffing him.
Ethan Smith felt like his head was about to explode, sweat beading on his forehead.
He desperately circulated his cultivation technique, consuming the qi.
Fortunately, the qi gradually stabilized and slowly flowed through his body.
…
Time flew quickly, and it was the third day in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Great Saint Sect, Joshua Hess had an ice-cold expression on his face, with several elite members of the sect standing in front of him.
