As Fade went deeper into the ice tunnel, the cold air became denser and stronger.
However, for him, who activated his ice essence in the elixir core, it did not have too much impact on him. Instead, it sped up his absorption of the ice essence.
Of course, he did not forget to release the ice essence along the way to search for Frozen Jade Ice under the ice layers.
It had to be said that the closer it was to the depths, the bigger the reserve of the Frozen Jade Ice.
Along the way, he successively discovered around five masses of Frozen Jade Ice hidden under the ice layers. He had collected more than 200 pieces, which was considered a big harvest.
Of course, as he cultivated and absorbed energy along the way, he had also consumed more than 60 pieces of the Frozen Jade Ice.
He raised the amount of his ice essence in his elixir core to 2,500 streaks, and the range of ice essence exploration was increased to 1,000 meters, which was a very large range.
However, when he remembered that Master Firstson had asked him to collect 10,000 pieces of Frozen Jade Ice, he felt that this bit of Frozen Jade Ice he had was no big deal.
Before he entered the Ice- sealed Realm, he thought that it would not be difficult to collect 10,000 pieces of Frozen Jade Ice.
However, now, after he came in, he found that collecting Frozen Jade Ice was much harder than he had imagined.
He had great strength, had mastered ice essence, and had help from the Ice Wolf Badge from Skylar. Yet, he was only able to collect more than 200 pieces of Frozen Jade Ice.
If an ordinary Half-Lord Level martial artist came here and was able to collect 100 pieces of Frozen Jade Ice at a time, they would be considered extremely lucky.
"If I want to collect 10,000 pieces, it seems that I have to go deeper. I’m still not deep enough. There are too many people who have come here. Most of the Frozen Jade Ice has been excavated."
Fade sighed in his heart and continued to go deeper.
Suddenly, a wide circular square appeared in the ice path in front of him.
In the center of the square was an ice sculpture. It faced the deep end of the ice tunnel, and extended its right hand, looking as if it was brazenly welcoming Fade to explore deeper.
The sculpture looked vivid and magnificent.
"Who had the time to make an ice sculpture here?"
Seeing this, he could not help but complain out loud.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, a voice came from nearby, "It's not an ice sculpture."
Hearing the voice, Fade looked over and saw a bearded man walk over from the other side of the ice sculpture. He wore a big leather jacket.
In an instant, Fade frowned slightly and looked at the other party.
The bearded man did not seem to mind Fade's wary eyes. He smiled and pointed at the ice sculpture, continuing, "It's not an ice sculpture, but a person. A real person."
"A real person?"
Fade was shocked. He took a few steps to the front of the ice sculpture and looked at it carefully.
Underneath the translucent layer of ice, he could indeed see the face of a man in his thirties.
Fade did not respond, but just quietly watched him.
Panos' expression did not change. He continued, "Although there are not many people in the Ice- sealed Realm, there are many demands. For example, some people have collected Frozen Jade Ice, but they are in need of elixirs and skills, therefore, people can exchange for it."
"Another example is that there are people who don't dare to go out in order to avoid the enemies outside, but they lack essential living supplies. I can bring the supplies in for them from the outside world."
"Of course, there are some cultivating maniacs. They simply don't want to waste time entering and exiting. Therefore, they come to me for information on various materials to save their cultivation time."
Hearing this, Fade could not help but raise his eyebrows and felt that it was interesting.
"When I first entered, why didn't I see you?" Fade asked.
Panos smiled and said, "It's too shallow there.
People wandering there are either too weak or too poor. I would not be able to earn much from doing business there."
"It's different here. 30 kilometers is a dividing line. Anyone who can cross 30 kilometers is a strong person. Moreover, there is more Frozen Jade Ice here than in the shallow area."
"We've made a lot of money doing business here. Therefore, we chose this place."
"We?" Fade caught the keyword and looked at Panos.
Panos smiled and said, "Of course, I can't do business alone, otherwise I will be extremely busy. After all, there are all kinds of errands to be done."
"We have a total of eight people in our team. They have worked here for more than 20 years and are very trustworthy. If you need anything, you can look for us," he promoted his business again.
