"Alas, what a pity..."

Seeing this Seven Stars Grass, even Qin Fang was tempted, wishing he could pull it out right now, but he couldn't do that.

Once spiritual medicine takes root and grows, it cannot be transplanted at will before it enters the mature stage, otherwise, it can easily harm its essence.

For example, this Seven Stars Grass, its roots and stems are extremely fragile, and once damaged, it will quickly wither, and a large amount of medicinal properties will be lost...

Even someone like Qin Fang, who has the Herb Gathering Technique skill, can pick this spiritual medicine intact, but the Seven Stars Grass is not yet mature; once picked, part of its essence will be lost, possibly forming seeds prematurely and causing Qin Fang's efforts to be in vain.

Moreover, the seeds that form prematurely in this self-protective way are less potent than those formed at maturity and are also quite difficult to use in medicine...

That's why Qin Fang said, "what a pity." This spiritual medicine is right before his eyes, but he can only watch it, unable to touch it. Such spiritual medicine doesn't grow easily; each plant is very precious, and letting it go to waste is essentially a crime.

Qin Fang didn't want to do such a thing, so he could only shake his head helplessly, and his gaze returned to the area of the Cold Abyss.

There are other types of plants around the pool, also dependent on the Cold Pool Water for growth, and likewise contain Cold Jade Ice Crystal, but they're not important to Qin Fang, who doesn't even bother to take a glance.

Squatting by the Cold Abyss, the piercing cold came straight at him, so much so that even someone with Qin Fang's physique could feel the chill. One could only imagine how low the temperature of this Cold Abyss is.

Gazing at the Cold Abyss, which was as still as dead water, Qin Fang extended a finger to gently test the water of the Cold Abyss...

"Hiss~~"

But almost at the moment of touching the surface of the water, an extreme cold swept over, and Qin Fang clearly felt his finger suddenly being encased by something extremely solid.

To be precise... the water from the Cold Abyss that touched his finger almost instantly froze, completely encasing one of Qin Fang's fingers in ice, while a strong chill swept through Qin Fang's entire body instantly.

"Such low temperature..."

Even though Qin Fang had already speculated that this Cold Abyss with the Thousand-Year Cold Jade was not simple, the actual contact still left him speechless in shock.

Pulling his finger out of the Cold Abyss, he saw it was encased in a thick layer of ice, the finger beneath vaguely visible, appearing pale from the cold.

Qin Fang even tapped it a few times deliberately. The ice layer was quite solid; though these taps seemed casual, they were quite forceful. However, the ice layer neither cracked nor showed even the slightest trace...

"Indeed, overbearing!"

This discovery also made Qin Fang's brows furrow, clearly indicating that the terrifying nature of this Cold Abyss was quite troublesome even for him.

The reason Qin Fang came here was entirely for the Thousand-Year Cold Jade beneath the Cold Abyss. That was the real priceless treasure, making the Yun Luo Tea Tree look like nothing in comparison.

Even the Seven Stars Grass, Qin Fang thought, if not for the existence of the Thousand-Year Cold Jade, it might not even be able to grow here freely and reach near maturity.

But since the Seven Stars Grass cannot be picked, Qin Fang has no choice but to temporarily give it up and focus on planning for the Thousand-Year Cold Jade beneath the Cold Abyss...

However, the overbearing Cold Pool Water has now become a very major obstacle preventing Qin Fang from obtaining the treasure.

Qin Fang is not afraid of this cold, as even though it brings a slight discomfort to his body, it cannot harm him. This is Qin Fang's biggest reliance on coming here to obtain the treasure.

However, what Qin Fang did not anticipate was the situation unfolding, indeed giving him a headache...

This Cold Pool Water appeared calm and unruffled, not forming a layer of ice, but now it seems it's not because the temperature isn't low enough but due to another reason.

Qin Fang doesn't care what the reason is; his headache now is figuring out how to successfully dive to the bottom of this Cold Abyss...

This overbearing cold, with just a single touch of the water surface, immediately forms a thick layer of ice. Moving just one finger is no problem, but diving to the bottom would mean Qin Fang's entire body would be submerged, and he would be encased in a thick layer of ice...

Encased in ice, breathing becomes a problem, let alone normal movement. Even if the Thousand-Year Cold Jade is within reach, Qin Fang could only look but not touch...

Moreover, with that thick ice layer in the way, Qin Fang might not even be able to see it!

"Damn, this is so frustrating..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but curse.

After all the efforts to reach Treasure Mountain, he first saw a mountain of gold, only to find it too big and heavy to move. Then, looking at the gleaming Treasure Mountain, there was a hungry tiger blocking the path...

This situation made Qin Fang quite frustrated, and naturally, his energy was slightly unsettled, causing his True Qi to swell involuntarily.
