Zhao Ning said to the group of people, "There are other sounds in the snow."
In less than half a cup of tea, everyone saw a large group of ice plain bull demons running towards them ten feet away without using their spiritual senses.
Everyone was startled and immediately flew up with their swords. Fortunately, these ice plain bull demons could not jump into the air, and none of the five of them wore the fur of a bull demon.
They seemed to be passing by, coming and going in a hurry from below.
"All the monsters in the ice field are like this..." Nether Demon Wei Shuo considered the use, "Are they so lively?"
This confused Xu Xiuming and Xu Xu, why they didn't know there were so many lively monsters on the ice sheet.
Xu Xiuming was embarrassed again and couldn't explain, so he just changed the subject, "How about we go to the palace first, and I ask the people in the palace what is going on?"
"I don't think so." Jiang Yao suddenly interrupted him, but saw him tilt his chin forward, and Xu Xiuming only saw Zhao Ning's back.
As Zhao Ning approached step by step, he suddenly saw a huge ball of spiritual light in the wind and snow. Inside the ball of spiritual light was an ice plain bull demon.
Xu Xiuming's jaw dropped in shock. He didn't know what Zhao Ning was doing at this time. Xu Xu asked blankly, "Miss Shen, do you want to lure the Icefield Wild Bull Monster over to hunt a few for meat?"
Zhao Ning sighed, "I am not so thirsty for words. I just want you to confirm whether these ice plain bull monsters have taken Hanxue Ganoderma."
Hanxue Ganoderma only grows in extremely cold places, and only a small amount is found in Chengxuan Cultivation World. This rare elixir can instantly replenish a large amount of spiritual power, and it is an extremely precious existence.
However, Zhao Ning said slightly confused, "I can feel that these bull monsters, including the previous White Deer, seem to have taken this elixir, and the fragrance of the medicine has not dissipated."
Hearing Zhao Ning's explanation, Xu Xiuming was even more puzzled. He stepped forward to check the situation of the bull demon.
Xu Xu explained to Zhao Ning, "Hanxue Ganoderma grows for thousands of years and matures for thousands of years. Except for those planted by ourselves in our palace, the entire Chengxuan cultivation world does not have such a large number of Hanxue Ganoderma."
"Damn it!" At this moment, Xu Xiuming suddenly cursed in a low voice, "What they are taking is not Hanxue Ganoderma, but Ganoderma pills with Hanxue Ganoderma as the main medicine!"
Ganoderma lucidum pills are a rejuvenating elixir that can provide a large amount of true energy and can basically instantly restore the depleted true energy. There may even be an overflow of true energy. When the overflowed true energy exceeds the limit of one's own Dantian, it will lead to drug consumption. The person will explode and die. It is a rare and dangerous elixir.
This elixir formula is only available in Jihan Palace.
Zhao Ning flicked his fingers, and the spiritual light ball surrounding the bull demon shattered. The bull demon hit the ground heavily, then stood up and ran away quickly.
"It seems that your sect's Ganoderma lucidum pills have been stolen." Zhao Ning summed it up for him considerately.
Xu Xiuming looked at the direction in which the monster was running, and frowned. He was debating whether to go find out the situation now or report back to the clan first. At this time, several more excited snow leopards ran out of that direction.
"That's unreasonable!"
In Xu Xiuming's view, this was a provocation.
He directly led the snow leopard away, his true energy gathered at his feet, kicked a snow leopard away, rushed in that direction angrily, and disappeared in the snow in the blink of an eye.
Xu Xu was also a little angry and a little embarrassed, "Three fellow Taoists, why don't you come and take a look with me? Senior brother steps in and we should be able to resolve this matter quickly."
The three of them were following them to Jihan Palace, so they were not in a hurry, so they walked leisurely in the direction of Xu Xiuming.
Soon, Xu Xiuming's embarrassed figure was discovered. Several snow spirits were flying around him on the glacier. Did a freezing spell hit Xu Xiuming's feet, which almost caused Xu Xiuming to fall into the ice hole? He had already found the culprit. The culprit was surrounded by many ice plain monsters under the trees on the other side of the glacier. These monsters were quiet and sat obediently under the trees, waiting.
"You damn thief, hand over all the stolen Ganoderma pills quickly! Otherwise, I want you to look good!"
His speed was slowed down a lot by the snow spirit. He shouted loudly to intimidate the thieves on the tree. The distance was too far to see clearly. When he scanned his consciousness, he found that he could not sense the other party. Xu Xiuming was not surprised. These thieves could steal extremely well. The elixir of Han Palace must have a magical hiding method.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he roared, he saw a Ganoderma lucid pill falling from the tree. The group of monster beasts below immediately became lively, and they rushed to catch the Ganoderma lucidum pill with their mouths wide open.
"Ganoderma pills! Keep them!" Xu Xiuming yelled again, but to no avail again. The Frost Bear squeezed open all its mouths and snatched away the Ganoderma lucidum pills. Then, visible to the naked eye, the Frost Bear's size nearly doubled. His hair exploded, he stood up straight, let out a scream, turned his eyes, jumped up excitedly and jumped directly onto the glacier, and jumped Xu Xiuming directly under him.
"Brother!"
"Fellow Daoist Xu!"
Xu Xiuming and Wei Shuo were shocked. They stepped forward with their swords and helped Xu Xiuming fight against the second-order frost bear.
Zhao Ning and Jiang Yao were still standing on the shore.
Jiang Yao said, "Miss Shen's consciousness is slightly better than mine. I wonder what she can sense?"
From the beginning, Zhao Ning's eyes have been fixed on that tree. It is just an ordinary cold cypress tree. The trunk is no thicker than a person can hug it. Although there are many branches, the branches and leaves are not densely grown. Logically speaking, it is not easy to have blind spots in the line of sight. However, neither vision nor consciousness could locate the so-called thief.
Seeing Zhao Ning shaking his head, Jiang Yao also wondered, "This is strange. He can be so perfectly hidden under so many foundation-building realms like ours. Could it be that he is a real person?"
But then Jiang Yao denied it himself. Which real person would do such a thing? Are you still afraid of confronting Xu Xiuming?
"Since you don't know the truth, let's see the truth with your own eyes." Zhao Ning said calmly.
The hem of his clothes swayed slightly, but before Jiang Yao could react, Zhao Ning had already disappeared.
With the combined efforts of the three of them, the Frost Bear was frozen into the river. Xu Xiuming rushed out of the water in a panic. The ice layer on the water was half a foot thick. The moment he fell into the water, Xu Xiuming was already thinking about himself. Is there any chance of reincarnation and rebuilding?
Fortunately, everything turned out to be safe, and he made a hand gesture to make himself look like that personable person again.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Yao flying towards the opposite side with his sword above his head, and Zhao Ning was nowhere to be seen, so he subconsciously asked.
Jiang Yao paused and pointed to the cold cypress tree.
Zhao Ning was standing on the high branch of the cold cypress tree, and she showed a rare dullness. She felt a few lines of sight, raised her eyes and looked at each other, "Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm afraid we have misunderstood something."
Then he saw a flash of light on Zhao Ning's fingertips. In the narrow recess where the high branches intersected with the main trunk, a little girl floated up. She looked to be only three or four years old. She was holding a wine gourd in her arms and was soundly asleep. And she There was a small purse hanging on his waist. The purse was not fastened tightly. Just by lifting it up, a Ganoderma pill fell out from the purse.
Everyone was still shocked that this so-called little thief was a little baby, but Xu Xiuming's eyes were already shattered as the Ganoderma lucidum pills fell. He dodged a few times and dared to catch the Ganoderma lucidum pills in his hand the moment they fell to the ground. .
The monsters under the tree fled in all directions because of Zhao Ning's sudden appearance and the deliberate release of pressure.
Just as Xu Xiuming took a breath, a few more Ganoderma pills fell out of his purse and hit him directly on the head.
Unexpectedly, this Ganoderma lucidum pill was so magical that nothing happened when it was in my purse or held in my hand. However, the moment it landed on the ground, it melted into the ground, leaving only a few pieces.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yao followed closely.
"Once Hanxue Ganoderma is picked from the ice, it will blend into the ground when it falls. It will take a thousand years of growth before Hanxue Ganoderma will grow again." Xu explained, "Even if it is refined into Ganoderma pills, this characteristic has not changed. These minced powders will not change." It’s the elixir powder except Hanxue Ganoderma.”
Xu Xu didn't say anything more, he just looked at the little baby who still hadn't woken up with a strange expression.
Zhao Ning landed lightly, "Miss Xu, do you know this little girl?"
Xu Xu did not answer immediately, and looked extremely hesitant, "Senior brother, senior brother, do you think this little baby looks like a child from Bingjue Palace?"
Xu Xiuming was annoyed that he had wasted several Ganoderma lucidum pills for a single panacea. Hearing Xu Xu's reminder, he looked up at the little doll's swollen face. Afraid that he couldn't understand, he stretched out his hand to flatten the little face. He was instantly stunned by the sight. Breathing cold air, "This...isn't this the Supreme Elder's precious daughter?! Why are you here?!"
The underworld demon Wei Shuo was wrapped in robes and shrank in the cold. His nose trembled again and again, "Are your supreme elders a demon? How come I smell the scent of demons?"
"It's a half-demon." Zhao Ning said. She was very familiar with the half-demon's aura, and she saw that the child had downy feathers growing on his arms.
This was a bloody story involving the Jihan Palace itself, and everyone tacitly agreed and did not ask any more questions.
Xu Xu took the floating little girl into his arms, but he didn't want to wake the little girl up like this. He opened his eyes and rubbed them. When he saw so many people staring at her, he cried out of fright.
"Mother... mother... who are you... I want mother..."
Xu Xiuming was at a loss and could only comfort him clumsily, "Xiao Tongtong, you, don't cry. I am a disciple of Jihan Palace. I should call your mother Supreme Elder." He handed over the ice jade talisman in his hand. Show it to the little girl. The little girl is also brave. She cried a little, sobbed and grabbed the ice jade talisman. Although she couldn't recognize the words on it, this thing was familiar to her since she was a child. She pursed her lips and said, "Are you from the palace?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Xiuming and Xu Xu agreed in unison.
I thought I could comfort the little girl like this, but I didn't expect her to start crying again, "I don't want to go back, I want to go out to play, I want to stay in a cold place!"
"this……"
"Hey, this little guy is really fun. When he meets strangers, he wants to be alone, and when he meets his own family, he wants to run away. This little guy must have sneaked out on his own." Nether Demon Wei Shuo smiled and talked to Zhao Ninghe Jiang Yao complained, Zhao Ning looked at him, raised his chin slightly and gestured forward.
Ming Yao Wei Shuo was stunned for a moment and didn't realize what she meant. He just looked in the direction indicated by Zhao Ning and saw the wine gourd in the little girl's arms. The wine gourd was more than a foot long and had two big bellies. , I am afraid it can hold a vat of good wine. When Nether Demon Wei Shuo smelled it carefully again, it really smelled like wine.
He swallowed his saliva unconsciously and reached out to explore the wine gourd. "Little guy, please call me Xiao Tongtong. Why are you drinking so little? Let your uncle smell it."
Xu Xiuming glared at him, but didn't stop him. When the little guy saw someone trying to snatch the wine gourd, he stopped crying instantly and shrank back as if hiding a treasure. When he raised his head again, he saw the inhuman figure of the underworld demon Wei Shuo. His appearance was dull for a moment, and then he erupted into a shocking scream.
The sound sounded like a phoenix at its peak. In an instant, several people around him took two steps back and closed their ears as quickly as possible.
The little girl was obviously frightened by the underworld demon Wei Shuo.
Fortunately, Xu Xiuming and Xu Xu had seen the screams of the little girl before, so they were not so stimulated that they threw the little girl away. After a few coaxings, the screams turned into cries.
When everyone unlocked their ears, they heard the little girl crying until she hiccupped, saying that she had seen a monster and the monster wanted to eat her.
Xu Xiuming held back his laughter and prepared to explain to the little girl.
At this moment, a sudden and powerful pressure came over the top. For a moment, the air seemed to be stagnant, everyone's expressions froze, and several people's legs and feet became weak.
With a pop, Wei Shuo couldn't resist the pressure and fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, Xu Xiuming and Xu Xiuming couldn't help but kneel to the ground. Jiang Yao held on, his body glowed with a dark purple light, as if he was serving a ghost. He wanted to escape from his body, but he gritted his teeth, dispersed the real energy from his body, and then knelt on the ground.
Only Zhao Ning was left standing upright, but her feet had sunk half an inch into the ground.
"Who?" Zhao Ning said coldly.
But after hearing a soft "Hey", the clouds in mid-air dispersed a little, revealing a middle-aged man riding the clouds. He was wearing an ice-blue robe, and he was Jin Dan Zhenren.
The next moment, Jin Dan Zhenren appeared in front of Zhao Ning. He looked Zhao Ning up and down and said, "But in the middle stage of foundation building, he can actually withstand my pressure. He has some strength."
Master Jin Dan's pressure gradually subsided, Zhao Ning calmed down his confrontational attitude, and bowed with a bow, "Master Jin Dan is too flattering."
"Uncle Qu!" the little girl shouted in surprise, broke away from Xu Xu's arms, and rushed towards Jin Dan. Jin Dan's momentum instantly subsided, and he quickly bowed and hugged the little girl into his arms, "Don't call me Uncle Qu. The seniority is messed up. No, no, no, this is not the point. The point is my little ancestor, why did you run out again."
He glanced at the wine gourd in the little girl's arms and looked as if he was about to faint, "He also took out Elder Gao's wine gourd."
The little girl blinked and burped shamelessly.
At this moment, Master Jin Dan had already figured out how to reincarnate himself.
"I've met Elder Qu." Xu Xiuming and Xu Xu met together.
Only then did Qu Yi notice the other people around him.
"It turns out it's you two. You've returned from experience. Yes, your cultivation has improved." He paused again, "Is this Xiaotong you found?"
"Exactly, we noticed something unusual on the way back to the sect, so we chased after him to take a look, only to see the little palace master asleep among the monsters."
"No, it's obviously on top of the pile of monsters!" Xiaotong corrected Xu Xiuming unhappily, and Xu Xiuming had to apologize.
"Then why did Xiaotong scream for help?" Qu Yi didn't look good.
Xu Xiuming glanced at the underworld demon Wei Shuo with slight embarrassment. Wei Shuo was still kneeling at this moment. Apparently Qu Yi had already guessed that it was Wei Shuo who looked like the underworld demon that scared Xiaotong. The pressure was always locked on him. Shuo rolled his eyes and regretted following him to Jihan Palace.
Qu Yi asked again, "Why did you go to the palace with these monks?"
Xu Xiuming's face turned solemn, "Ma'am, it's about the Blackwater River. We have found a way to cross the Blackwater River, and we have clues to where the Blackwater River formation is damaged."
Qu Yi was stunned. He knew about the Blackwater River. The Jihan Palace also sent people to check the matter, but there was no way to deal with it.
Even if it was business, Qu Yi would no longer pursue it.
He also dissipated the pressure of the underworld demon Wei Shuo, "Okay, let's just leave it like this and come back to Jihan Palace with me."
Qu Yi picked up Xiaotong and flew into the sky again. The remaining people had to follow behind with their swords.
