There is a wide plain area in the middle of the mountains, and the Youquan Ice Palace is built here.
I couldn't see it at the top of the mountain just now, but when I reached the middle of the mountain, I looked far away and saw a magnificent palace at the bottom of the valley. I don't know what kind of material the palace was made of, and it was dark and deep. In the middle is an extremely shocking large palace. There are several towering pavilions surrounding the palace, and beyond that are more ordinary palaces.
At the outermost periphery, there is a circular wall protecting the middle. There are eight doors opening on the wall, and there are vague figures walking through.
Jiang Yun and the two walked halfway up the mountain under the leadership of Jiao Ning.
On the way down the mountain, you can see many buildings, which look like the outer disciples of Youquan Ice Palace.
Surprisingly, the tops of mountains are generally the coldest and the bases are warm. The temperature here gets colder as you go down. Fortunately, during the Golden Elixir stage, the body can regulate its own body temperature within a certain range, so it's still no big problem. If you are in the foundation-building realm, you may have to wear more clothes and use spiritual energy to resist on the body surface at all times.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain, Jiao Ning led them through the southernmost gate.
Interestingly, in addition to human monks, many demon cultivators are also among them. Not only are the two parties not hostile or indifferent, but they both get along very happily.
Seeing Jiao Ning leading the two of them, everyone stopped and watched curiously.
"Your Majesty." As he walked closer, everyone, whether human or demon cultivator, saluted Jiao Ning. It was obvious that Jiao Ning's status in Youquan Ice Palace was not low.
Jiao Ning nodded and led the two of them towards the central hall.
The central hall is where the leader and the venerable live and practice. Of course, the first floor of the hall is still used for meetings or guests.
"sit down."
There are two seats on the throne directly opposite the door in the main hall. Jiao Ning naturally sits on the left, and there are other seats on both sides where Jiang Yun and Jiang Yun sit closer.
"promise."
Not long after he sat down, Jiao Ning threw a storage ring over, and Jiang Yun took it for inspection.
"It contains the soul-sealing ice you need, ten cubic meters." Jiao Ning put a smile on his face at this time and said peacefully, "Besides that, there is also a bottle of blood essence. I heard Li Guo said that you are an array master. I want to This essence and blood should be of some use to you. This thing is the essence and blood obtained from a phoenix bird that I once traveled to the mainland and killed in the Piaomiao Fairy Kingdom. It should have been in the late Nascent Soul stage when I killed it, so this You can use the essence and blood at your own discretion."
"Thank you, senior."
Jiang Yun was overjoyed. Against a mage, blood essence could really help set up many formations. Similar to the previous Firebird formation, it was just transformed by his own formations. It had no charm or any aura of a demon cultivator.
If one could use the essence and blood of the wandering phoenix to form an array, the virtual beast would definitely be much stronger than the fire bird.
"No need to thank me, you deserve this. This bottle of blood essence is no longer of much use to me, so I will keep it forever."
Jiao Ning smiled and chatted with Jiang Yun for a few words.
"By the way, senior." Jiang Yun asked curiously, "I just saw that many disciples seemed to be gearing up to fight. Could it be that your palace has a sect competition or something like that?"
"Oh, you said that."
Jiao Ning waved his hand, "It's not that there are any activities, but the annual 'Ice Spring Disaster' in our Youquan Ice Palace is coming soon. It is a training process for all the disciples. Hey, if you are interested Can we join together?"
"Ice spring disaster?"
Jiang Yun raised his eyebrows, why didn't it sound like a good thing?
"The reason why there is soul-sealing ice in our Youquan Ice Palace is not actually produced by us naturally." Jiao Ning did not hide it, but it was probably because of Jiang Yun's status as the Sky Patrol Supervisor. "Actually, it flows from the underground ice spring. from."
"Below my Youquan Ice Palace, in addition to various natural stone caves rich in some ordinary objects, there is a naturally formed underground river. I don't know where the source of this river is, and I don't know where it goes. Anyway, it was there when I first established the Youquan Ice Palace. It exists. It is usually peaceful, but once or twice a year, there will be sudden riots, resulting in ice spring disasters."
"When the underground ice springs are abnormal, not to mention the river flooding, the ice springs in the Hanoi will also form a mindless... monster. These monsters are usually in the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage, and occasionally there will be Nascent Soul stages. . They are not afraid of pain and have no 'Tao'. They just keep fighting and there are many of them."
"The leader and I have to stabilize the spring water every time, so the killing of monsters is left to the elders and disciples."
Hearing this, Jiang Yun was surprised and said, "Is it possible that the creation of soul-sealing ice was due to the underground ice spring riot?"
"That's right." Jiao Ning nodded slightly, "Every time the ice spring disaster is solved, some soul-sealing ice will float upstream of the river. This is the origin of soul-sealing ice."
"So that's it." Jiang Yun said curiously, "Aren't the venerable and the leader curious about the source of this underground river? Maybe there is an iceberg of soul-sealing ice!"
"Don't be curious." Unexpectedly, Jiao Ning shook his head. "The sect has ancestral teachings that the secrets of the upper reaches must not be explored, otherwise it will lead to the disaster of annihilation. There was a senior Kong Mingqi who used his cultivation to break into my Youquan Ice Palace, and then followed the river to the upper reaches. , and he never came back. This incident even alarmed the Sky Patrol. I don’t know how well the Sky Patrol investigated, but they told us not to explore the upstream source. Moreover, it was announced that this valley is owned by the Youquan Ice Palace. Once other forces If you force your way in, something bad will happen."
"No one will doubt that the Sky Patrol Supervisor is talking nonsense, because the disappearance of senior Kong Ming is a lesson learned from the past. Anyway, the soul-sealing ice is not a particularly precious thing to the monks in the Kong Ming realm. At most, it can be regarded as a way to make money. And those below the Kong Ming realm Naturally, it is impossible for the monks to seize the territory from me and the master, so I, Youquan Ice Palace, have always been located here."
"How about it? Little brother, are you interested in trying this ice spring disaster?" Jiao Ning said with a faint smile, "Although it is dangerous, there is an opportunity. Every time we will reward the disciples based on their individual kills, if little If my brother can win the first place, I, Youquan Ice Palace, will give you generous gifts."
"Is it convenient?" Jiang Yun was a little moved.
In addition to soul-sealing ice, Youquan Ice Palace is famous for its stone milk, holy water, ores and other items. It is an opportunity for him. Anyway, he is not in a hurry to leave. There are still two months left. The distance between him and Fengzheng City is only a quarter, and he can reach it in a few days by flying at full speed, so he might as well give it a try.
"Of course it's convenient. There are no secrets of our sect near the underground water. Occasionally, some Taoist disciples will come to practice."
Jiao Ning smiled and said, "In that case, the little brother and this girl will stay in our sect for a few days. After about five days, I will ask Li Guo to call you. By then, in addition to the two little brothers, there will be many friends from the sect. Where is the golden elixir monk."
. . .
Jiao Liguo flew on the road with his head held high, and the disciples passing by smiled and greeted him one by one. It could be seen that the little dragon was very happy to come home, at least his safety was guaranteed.
"Hey, let's compete to see who can kill more."
It is now sending Jiang Yun to the mountainside. The residences arranged by Youquan Ice Palace for the guests are all on the other side of the mountain. They are all small independent courtyards with pleasant scenery and suitable temperatures.
"Can you briefly tell me about those ice spring monsters?"
Jiang Yun is still a little curious about this 'ice spring disaster' and hopes to hear more news.
"Those monsters." Jiao Liguo said casually, "Actually, most of them are formed by the ice spring itself, and a small number of other monsters are mixed in. Because the source of the ice spring seems to be alive, so every time the ice spring During the riot, those creatures will appear along with these monsters, hoping to help the underground river fill the entire underground cave."
"Condensed?" Jiang Yun still didn't understand what this monster condensed from ice springs was.
"I'll tell you quietly." Jiao Liguo whispered, "I heard from my father that there is actually a very powerful being at the source of the underground river. This being has a deep connection with our Youquan Ice Palace, so It was our ancestor who built the sect here in the first place. And the monsters in the underground river are just unintelligent creatures that were inadvertently formed by the 'Tao' of this powerful existence."
"Condensed by Tao?" Jiang Yun and Qingfang looked at each other. What level of existence can use 'Tao' to condense a monster of golden elixir or even Nascent Soul? So how powerful should it be? Could it be that it is close to the ascended Dongxu realm?
"And this 'Ice Spring Disaster' is more like a test for us disciples of Youquan Ice Palace. As long as we resist this time, we will gain a lot, especially with such a strange thing as the soul-sealing ice. If we fail, we will not resist." If we succeed, the underground river will flood our underground grotto and destroy our stalactites and other objects, which will be a small punishment for us."
Jiao Liguo clicked his tongue and said, "Of course we have been able to stop the 'Ice Spring Disaster' all these years. The disciples are working very hard. After all, every time you kill a monster, you will get a small piece of rhinestone. This thing is of no use to you." , but it will be helpful to the cultivation of my disciples in Youquan Ice Palace, so every time we will have rhinestones to determine the ranking."
No wonder the disciples who just watched were all gearing up and excited. It turned out that the 'Ice Spring Disaster' was of great benefit to their practice.
"arrive."
Jiao Liguo took Jiang Yun to his residence, sat and chatted for a while and then went back. He would come over in five days to take them with him.
"I have been huddled around the Martial God City. It turns out that the world is so big and the world of cultivation is so interesting and brilliant." Jiang Yun sighed, "I thought it was great to be the dean before, but now that I have come to Youquan Ice Palace, I feel like a frog in the well. a feeling of."
Qingfang was speechless upon hearing this, are you pretending to be here? A Jindan stage master controls me, a Yuanying stage sword cultivator, and I'm still shaking my head here. I really want to give you a hunchback.
The two of them each chose a room to practice without disturbing each other.
Qingfang's expression in the room was complicated. For her, she was currently following Jiang Yun to Fengzheng City, where she would look for opportunities to take revenge on the Qingwu Sword Sect. As for what the future holds, she doesn't know yet.
I don't know how Jiang Yun learned the 'Sword Attendant Contract' that he made. It was obviously an undisclosed secret of the Qingwu Sword Sect, but he was so easily taught by this kid to control himself with a backhand.
Before setting off, she heard about Jiang Yun from the people at Bainiao Sword Pavilion. She was bullied by the fourth prince, and her childhood sweetheart was taken away and her life and death are unknown.
At first, she was also afraid that Jiang Yun was a lustful ghost who was greedy for her own body. Although Jiang Yun was young and handsome, she did not want her body to be ruined like this. She was a swordsman, not a brothel girl. Fortunately, after spending so many days together, Jiang Yun never took the initiative to touch her body, let alone those astringent eyes.
When she observed Jiang Yun seriously, she realized that this young man seemed to have a lot of thoughts because he had experienced too much. He could not be said to be young and mature, but he was by no means simple. If you want to go to Fengzheng City to take revenge, you may have to rely on Jiang Yun's background power in the Sky Patrol Prison...
