Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

When the ice element manifested, it froze the giant python, which had not yet come to its senses.

Wayne and the others finally came to their senses.

Upon closer inspection, one could see a giant, ice-blue python, tens of meters long, curled up and frozen in the ice.

His eyes were still fixed on a look of surprise and uncertainty, and a rope was still sticking out of his mouth.

At that moment, Aurora's voice rang out.

"This isn't even a fishhook. It's one thing to not catch a single fish, but how did I end up with a giant python?"

The words fell.

Wayne looked at Athena and suddenly remembered what Athena had said about the Ice Serpent, which made him think of the Heart of Ice.

"Heavenly Ice Python."

"Could it be the companion beast of the Heavenly Ice Heart?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, especially the World God Deer, who knew about the Heart of Heavenly Ice.

"Does he truly possess the heart of Heavenly Ice?"

Hearing Wayne's question and the eager look in the eyes of the World Deer, Athena shook her head.

"Although the names are similar, it is not the companion beast of the Heavenly Ice Heart, and there is probably no Heavenly Ice Heart down here either."

"What's down there?"

"And judging from your expression, it seems like you know where these kinds of magical beasts usually come from."

Athena nodded. "I did have some guesses."

As she spoke, she walked to the middle of the frozen Ice Serpent, and the others followed. Athena extended her slender, white finger and pointed to the middle section of the Ice Serpent's body.

"The Ice Serpent is fond of all ice elemental energy. The reason it was caught by Aurora is because of the level seven ice elemental ballast stone that Wayne asked me to condense."

"After being swallowed by it, it can't spit it out, or rather, it doesn't want to spit it out, which is why it gets caught."

Then, he changed the subject and steered it back on track.

"I've only seen the Ice Pythons twice. They often appear in the Ice Mine, or rather, they live near the mine."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne raised an eyebrow. "So, this place used to be inhabited by ice dragons, or perhaps an ice dragon perished here?"

"Is there a dragon corpse down there?"

At this point, Lei Shi's curiosity subsided, and he casually said, "Wayne has so many dragons, a mine is nothing to him. Why are you so excited?"

Athena shook her head with amusement upon hearing this.

"If it were just a mineral vein, I certainly wouldn't be so excited. As I mentioned before, I've only seen the Ice Python twice."

"After seeing the Heavenly Ice Python twice, I discovered the same rare and precious material, called the 'Ice Source Mother Ore'."

"Ice source ore?"

"What is this?"

Sylvia asked curiously, and then explained.

"I can't even see the mother mine. Like Wayne, I don't have its shape in my premonition."

These words were spoken.

Wayne became interested, as did the others, since they all knew about Sylvia's abilities.

At that moment, Athena's voice rang out.

"Ice Source Mother Ore".

"That is, the core of ice element ore. There must be one or even several ice element ore veins beneath this cold spring, and ice element ore is just a derivative of it. In addition to being able to generate minerals, it can also be used to generate other minerals."

"The most important thing is to take it out and place it in a place with abundant ice element magic energy, so that it will no longer generate ice element veins. Then, every hundred years, a drop of 'ice source liquid' can be condensed, which will give it a natural ice element talent like a magical beast."

"What?"

"Ice element talent?"

Wayne's surprised voice rang out, and at the same time, his mind felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer.

This is just too incredible!

That's real talent.

Turning to look at Athena, and seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Wayne couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay, okay, okay."

"This luck just came out of nowhere, there was no stopping it. I was about to leave, but I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly."

Seeing Wayne so happy, everyone else laughed too, after all, this was a rare treasure.

At this moment, Lei Shi pushed the divine deer aside with his butt and went to Wayne's side to look at his reflection on the ice.

What are you doing?

Lei Shi withdrew his gaze and spoke with a hint of anticipation.

"This is a talent! You get an extra talent for no reason. Wayne, once you find the Ice Source Mother Ore, could you give me a drop?"

Wayne was somewhat puzzled.

"Aren't you an elemental lightning user?"

"This is an ice elemental talent, doesn't it suit you?"

To everyone's surprise, Lei Shi chuckled.

"While they may not be a good match, they still possess unique talents and attributes, so having one more is always beneficial."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne thought for a moment and said, "If you have extra, at least four drops or more, then I can give you one drop."

"Four drops?"

"One drop for your wife Athena, one drop for Sylvia, and one drop for this arrogant, silly deer, so who's the last drop for?"

Wayne rolled his eyes.

"Mind your own business."

"Instead of thinking about who I'm giving it to, you should pray that there's plenty of ice source liquid down there."

He then looked at Athena.

"Oh, right, Athena."

"You previously said that only after the Ice Source Mother Ore is extracted and no more veins are formed can a single drop condense every hundred years. But now there must be ice element veins extending from here. So, can this Ice Source Liquid still be formed?"

Athena nodded.

"Of course, it's possible, but because the energy is dispersed and extends the mineral vein, it will take longer, about three to five hundred years to condense one drop."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne nodded, did a quick calculation, and then spoke.

"That number must be quite large."

He then took out a level seven defensive array plate.

"Let's go, I'll take you down. Now that we know what's down there, there shouldn't be any major problems."

At that moment, Athena's voice rang out.

"Take out an attack array plate. The Ice Pythons usually live in groups, so my shield will protect us. As for the attack, we'll mainly rely on you, Wayne."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne nodded, flipped his hand and took out a level seven array plate. At the same time, he lightly tapped the void, and the flying array unfolded, suspending everyone in the air.

Athena also extended her finger and lightly tapped the void, and a shield enveloped everyone within it.

"Wayne, we can set off now."

Wayne nodded and guided the group to gradually sink into the cold spring.

.........

Ten minutes later.

Looking at the azure-blue icy spring outside the shield, and the desolate blank area visible for only a few dozen meters, followed by what seemed like an endless deep sea with no end in sight, Aurora couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

"There's nothing down there, and it's much bigger than the springs we've seen. It's unbelievable."

"That's why I didn't rush down. Clear water doesn't mean shallow, and we've been down here for so long and haven't even found the bottom."

He then looked at Athena.

"How's the shield?"

"It's alright. There's only around level six ice element energy here. It'll probably be level seven much further down."

As she looked down at the seemingly bottomless, icy spring below, Athena was also somewhat puzzled.

"This is completely different from the two situations I've seen before. Although the previous one was also underwater, it was under a frozen lake."

"Unlike now, it may seem shallow, but there's a whole world of wonders beneath."
