"Are you Yuhuang?"
The exclamation came from the soul-containing ring in Li Mu's hand, which turned out to be He Xi.
Xiaoji looked at them indifferently and nodded slightly, "I remember your voice. You are right. I am indeed Yuhuang."
Several female cultivators looked at Li Mu suspiciously. They did not know He Xi's existence and wondered why there was such an old voice. Their expressions were similar to those they had heard the spirit beasts talking to before.
"Master, what is this?" Ning Xiu asked boldly.
Li Mu said calmly, "It's nothing. It's a monk's spirit that I conquered. There's no need to make a fuss." Now that Daou knew about it, he had nothing to hide, so he said it bluntly.
"Wow, Master, you are so powerful, you can even subdue the monks in the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Ning Xiu's eyes sparkled with stars, and Li Mu's image seemed to be a little taller. Several female cultivators were also stunned. They did not speak, but they were all secretly glad that following Li Mu was the best decision.
Li Mu looked at the chicken and said slowly, "It can surprise you so much. Who is Yuhuang?"
He Xi made a mistake and was worried that Li Mu would get angry and deal with him, but when he saw that Li Mu didn't seem to mean to blame, he suddenly relaxed.
"I learned from the classics that Yuhuang is the spiritual beast of Long Tian, the monk in the Dragon Cave. His strength has reached the seventh level. It is said that he is the descendant of the ancient beast Ice Phoenix. He has some blood of Ice Phoenix in his body. At that time, he followed Long Tian It disappeared together and never appeared again. When we first came here, we all thought that it had perished with the monks in the Hualong Cave. There are many reasons for coming to the Hualong Cave to get the feather phoenix..."
He Xi explained, "I didn't expect it to be outside the Hualong Cave. Just based on time. Yuhuang is at least four to five thousand years old. I don't understand why it looks like this, and its strength is only at the fifth level?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiaoji, with disbelief on their faces, "The legendary descendant of the Ice Phoenix, a seventh-level spiritual beast, how could he look like this..."
The immature chick in front of him could only be described as cute, and was completely incomparable to the majestic and proud Ice Phoenix in legend.
Yuhuang spoke slowly. There was a trace of incomprehensible resentment in his voice, "I became like this because of Longtian. If it weren't for him..."
Halfway through, Yuhuang stopped suddenly and looked at Li Mu, "If we are determined to cooperate, it will not be too late to talk about this. Young man, do you want to cooperate?"
In his opinion, other people were not qualified to talk to him at all.
Li Mu smiled and bowed. Although Yuhuang is a spiritual beast, he has developed spiritual wisdom. Moreover, he is much older than him, so being polite is not an exaggeration.
"Senior, what are you doing with us?"
"Take me to the Evolving Dragon Cave. I was once the spirit beast of Long Tian, and I know the many traps in the Evolving Dragon Cave. I will teach you to avoid the traps and obtain the treasures in the Evolving Dragon Cave." Yuhuang said slowly.
Li Mu said nothing, the conditions were indeed good. Hualong Cave was once a cave for monks in the realm of gods. In addition to the Xuanji death light at the door, there are probably many traps inside, but if there is a feather phoenix to lead the way, there is no need to take too many risks.
However, the premise is that Yuhuang must lead them the right way. If it is the other way around and leads them the wrong way, the consequences will be disastrous.
"How do you know we are going to evolve into Dragon Cave?" Li Mu asked.
Yuhuang said in an old-fashioned way, "Young man, I know the voice in your ring. If I remember correctly, his name should be He Xi, right?"
He Xi was a little surprised, "How do you know?"
"I have lived in this secret realm for three thousand years, what don't you know?" Yuhuang said with a hint of ridicule, "Six hundred years ago, you wanted to enter the Hualong Cave, but you were killed by Xuanji's death light. You were the only one. The one who escaped."
He Xi seemed to remember the horror he encountered at that time, and was speechless for a moment.
Li Mu said calmly, "Senior, why didn't you ask them to cooperate?"
"They are too strong and have no basis for cooperation. Moreover, I have been observing that cultivators like them have been here before, but they have not been able to pass through the Xuanji Death Light, and there is no possibility of cooperation." Yuhuang Rejected flatly.
"Then I have it?" Li Mu smiled slightly.
"Maybe, maybe not, but I have to give it a try," Yuhuang looked at Li Mu, moving his head like a chicken pecking at rice, as if he was sighing, "No one has come here in six hundred years, I There is no time. If I don’t get that, I will die. Your strength is just right, and He Xi has been here once, so you should be more sure, right? "
"You will die if you don't get it. It seems that you care about the things in the cave. Then we can really talk about it."
Li Mu nodded, "But, how should I trust senior?"
"How should I trust you, young man," Yuhuang sighed, "I want to evolve into the Dragon Cave and leave the secret realm, but I cannot do without you. What do you think I will do to you?"
Li Mu thought for a while and quickly understood what it said.
The current Yuhuang is only at the fifth level, and it is only a spiritual beast. The spiritual beast must enter the Qiankun Bag before it can enter and exit freely. Once the feather phoenix enters the Qiankun bag, Li Mu has life and death in his hands. He can let it go if he wants, and keep it if he wants. He has no worries.
He nodded, "Okay, I agree to cooperate. But before that, senior must tell me, what do you need?"
He Xi saw something and said hesitantly, "Is it the three tail feathers containing the blood of the Ice Phoenix?"
When they first evolved into the Dragon Cave, the feathers of the Phoenix Phoenix were one of their important targets. The tail feathers with the blood of the Ice Phoenix were the finest among eighth-level materials, and all cultivators would go crazy for them.
Yuhuang screamed a few times, "You know very well, yes, it is indeed a tail feather, but now there is only one."
"Ah?" He Xi said confused.
"It's a long story," Yuhuang explained. "Since I have agreed to cooperate, I will reluctantly tell you."
It turned out that although Yuhuang was Longtian's spiritual beast, he was not raised by Longtian. They are similar in strength, and after meeting, they made a contract to cooperate with each other and get what they need.
High-level spiritual beasts have spiritual intelligence, arrogant temperaments, and rarely surrender to others. Their relationship with high-level monks is mostly like this.
That year, Longtian's deadline was approaching and he came to Hualong Cave. He brought Yuhuang in and said that after he died, all his treasures would belong to Yuhuang. Yuhuang believed it at that time because there was an eighth-level spiritual object in Longtian that was extremely rare in the world of cultivation. Yuhuang has always longed for Ninghong Grass. If he gets Ninghong Grass, Yuhuang may go one step further and transform into a human.
However, Yuhuang was fooled.
It turns out that a trap specifically targeted at Yuhuang has been set up in the Hualong Cave!
Long Tian, who was approaching his lifespan, wanted to use Yuhuang's soul and body to nourish his decaying soul and extend his lifespan. He actually wanted to seize Yuhuang's body.
A monk in the realm of transformation can live for three thousand years, but he will eventually die one day, and even his soul will decline. But Yuhuang is not like that. He is an ancient bloodline, seventh-level spiritual beast, and his lifespan can even reach tens of thousands of years.
Yuhuang was not aware of it for a moment and fell into the formation, but no matter how powerful Yuhuang was, he would not just surrender.
Yuhuang exploded with the blood power of a tail feather, and fought with Long Tian. Both of them were injured. Yuhuang had one of his tail feathers pulled out, and Long Tian was also seriously injured.
Yuhuang wanted to escape from the Hualong Cave, but found that the door was locked by the Xuanji Death Light. In desperation, he could only use his last tail feather to resist the death light and rush out of the Hualong Cave. However, Yuhuang, who had completely lost his tail feathers, was not worthy of his name, his strength was greatly reduced, and his body gradually returned to its original state, becoming what it is now.
For thousands of years, Yuhuang has lost his bloodline and his life span is about to be exhausted.
He was eager to evolve into Dragon Cave, wanting to retrieve the tail feather that was plucked out by Long Tian, find his bloodline, and then slowly regain his strength.
After listening to Yuhuang's narration, everyone nodded, and many of their previous doubts were solved.
