Chapter 173 Thousand Treasure Ice Toad
"But don't you really need the demon pill of the mourning crow fish?"

Qin Qingyue spoke hesitantly.

Ming Zhi once slipped and fell into the Soul-torturing Pool in a secret realm, which damaged her spiritual roots and hindered her cultivation.

Originally, he wanted to win the championship in the Alchemy Conference. The reward for the first place was the Bu Tian Pill that could refine spiritual roots. However, he was not as skilled as his opponent and lost to Du Xinghe. Later, he spent a lot of effort and finally found a box of Bu Tian Pill of lower quality. However, this pill needs to be taken in conjunction with a demon pill that is compatible with the spiritual root attributes of the person taking the pill.

Originally, Venerable Yuan Ming brought back the demon pill of the Green Water Whale. The Green Water Whale is one of the purest giant water spirit beasts, but its aura is incompatible with Ming Zhi. Later, after calculations by an expert, it was found that she was born on a yin year, yin month, yin day and yin hour, and had an extremely yin body. Therefore, the most evil crow fish among the water spirit beasts became the best choice.

After seeing the true form of the mourning crow fish, Ming Zhi also saw his own shadow in it.

It looks like it can be used in both water and air, but it can't go anywhere.

Ming Zhi: "I really need it, but she definitely won't give it to me."

"I remember that Du Xinghe has three spiritual roots. She doesn't need this demon pill. Maybe there is room for negotiation..."

"If anyone except me asks her for it, she might give it to them." When Ming Zhi mentioned this, her face, which was always full of lively and bright smiles, suddenly became gloomy. "And doesn't she have a disciple with the same spiritual roots as me? I think he is quite gloomy, and the Crow Fish is just right for him."

"Zhizhi, do you hate Xinyue?"

Hearing the disgust in Mingzhi's words, Qin Qingyue asked softly.

Realizing that the malice in her words was too obvious, Ming Zhi quickly retracted her tone, her voice brightening again: "No, I just think that since it was Du Xinghe who killed the crow fish, it's understandable that the demon pill belongs to her. It's not mine, so there's no need to worry about it. Anyway, the Ten States Secret Realm is so big, there will always be a replacement!"

She leaned forward and buried her whole body in the lake, manipulating the water to carry away the filth on her body.

When she stood up again, Mingzhi's body was pure white again.

She smiled at Qin Qingyue: "Don't you help me find a suitable spirit beast? With Brother Qingyue's vision, I'm sure you can find a suitable one!"

The smile still didn't reach his eyes, and instead there was an underlying tone of fatigue and boredom.

Qin Qingyue didn't notice it. He turned his attention to another thing and pondered for a moment: "The herald crow fish doesn't like to leave its habitat. When the eggs are about to hatch, it will use its spiritual power to send the eggs out of the river and let them flow to other waters to grow... If this crow fish that just gave birth hasn't had time to send away the eggs, maybe we can find its larvae at the bottom of the lake."

After saying that, he dived into the lake.

Thanks to the crow fish's violent temperament, there were no other powerful water beasts living in the lake. After swimming around the lake, he finally found six crow fish cubs under a huge patch of seaweed. As soon as the cubs saw any living creature approaching, they opened their mouths to beg for food.

Qin Qingyue brought up six crow fish: "Since these crow fish were killed by Du Xinghe, then half of these cubs should be given to her."

If the fellow disciples of Wuliang Sect heard this, they would also think that their senior brother was a very kind person.

There are no names on wild resources, so whoever gets them owns them.

But Qin Qingyue is just like that. A kind person doesn't like to take advantage. After he said this, he glanced at Mingzhi's face, afraid that she would disagree. But she looked normal and nodded: "Then Brother Qingyue will take good care of it and give it to her when you see Du Xinghe next time." But if she gave it to her, she might suspect that the cub had a timed thunder talisman in its body!
The relationship between the two is just that bad.

"it is good!"

Qin Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

With this trophy, it would be easier for him to explain to his fellow apprentice.

……

On the other hand, Du Xinghe searched around Yanzhou, going wherever there was strong spiritual energy, but he couldn't find any powerful spiritual beasts that were beyond his imagination.

After all, the Immortal Alliance Competition mainly tests the Jindan and foundation-building cultivators.

Looking at the whole place, there are only three people who have broken through the Jindan realm, so sending out spiritual beasts will naturally not be much beyond their cultivation level.

Crossing the galaxy was like playing a lawn-mowing game; wherever she passed, it was like a swarm of locusts.

Yanzhou was soon completely ruined by her.

"Forget it, let's go to the next state and see if they can all come up."

Du Xinghe waved her hand and asked her two disciples to jump onto her heavy sword.

Yanzhou and Yuanzhou are adjacent to each other, but the two states are different from other states in that they are not separated by sea water, but by a very long glacier. When people are on the shore, the spring breeze still blows on their faces for the first five meters, but the biting cold seeps in for the last five meters.

Something even stranger happened. The flying sword actually slowly fell to the ground.

Du Xinghe frowned.

Sword Spirit: "It's not my fault."

"I know that we can't fly over here. There is a mysterious force that prohibits cultivators from flying with swords."

Canshui suggested turning back, but Du Xinghe became interested: "I want to see, it's a very special place, we can only walk, not fly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shenshui sneezed loudly.

"It's so cold!"

Shenshui only took two steps forward when his face changed and his whole body trembled.

It has only been three years since he and Xinyue started their cultivation journey. Before that, they were just a spirit ape and a mortal. Their simple mortal thinking dominated them. Seeing the cold weather around them, he was not afraid. He smiled and took out a thick cotton coat from his storage ring: "Fortunately, I prepared winter clothes before I came here! One for each of Master and Senior Sister, oh, and Jingxin..."

Jingxin moved his paws when he heard the sound.

"I don't have a cotton coat for my little pet, but it doesn't matter," Shenshui stuffed it into his arms, using it as a bulletproof vest: "I'll cover you with my body temperature, and you won't be cold."

Jing Xin was suddenly overwhelmed by his faint scent of powder: "...Put me down! No need to cover me up! I'll just hibernate if it's cold!"

"really?"

Jingxin retracted his paws and fell into a doze, ignoring Shenshui's calls.

"He slept like a dead person." commented Canshui.

Xinyue took the cotton coat and put it on, her expression softening a little: "You've thought it through very carefully this time."

It doesn’t matter if you feel cold, but you can’t make your master cold.

But Shenshui soon found out that he was too naive - the thick cotton-padded clothes that usually kept him warm now felt like nothing. The cold penetrated through the bones and went straight to the top of his head. He had only walked less than a hundred meters when his calves began to tremble and he could not walk any further.

Du Xinghe was protected by the temperature-controlled jade bone robe and only felt slightly cold.

The palace fighting system reminds you in time: [The host can use [Ice Skin and Jade Bones] to be fearless of any cold temperature, and the movement speed on ice can be increased by 20%! ]

The system is right, but this skill must be used while dancing, otherwise the effect will be halved.

Du Xinghe now has a status burden and doesn't want to lose face because of this little cold.

She reminded the two: "This cold is not like a simple temperature change. Try to use your spiritual power to resist it."

The two tried to use their internal energy, and after forcing the cold air out of their bodies, the cotton-padded jacket gradually regained its warmth-keeping function.

Looking ahead, all you can see is ice and snow.

The ice under his feet was very solid. The sailor knocked twice with all his strength, but only a tiny crack appeared. Looking through the transparent ice, he could see the deep sea water below. From time to time, dark lights passed by, indicating that there were also water spirits living under the ice.

Du Xinghe exhaled a puff of white mist, and the three of them quickened their pace.

Although he had spiritual power protecting him, the flying frost still hit his face hard. He had to wipe some ginseng water on his face every once in a while to brush away the frost and snow that had condensed on the tip of his nose and his brow bones.

Xinyue: "I didn't meet anyone else along the way."

"Maybe he gave up after realizing he couldn't fly with the sword."

It was very quiet on the glacier, and there were no vines for him to roam in the water. He was extremely bored, so he began to sing loudly.

The song he sang was a soul-stirring and erotic one, the words of which were enough to make a conservative mortal scholar blush.

But after all, these are words for scholars and gentlemen. For people who are used to plain language, these words don’t sound wrong at all, and they even think that they are very cultured.

The Du Xinghe team is the worst hit by the lack of culture.

Even in the previous life, there was only classical music in the palace and the rules were strict, so such erotic music had never been heard.

So Du Xinghe listened with great interest, Xinyue didn't understand a word, and Canshui didn't understand the deep meaning either. He only knew that Master Lu liked to listen to it and liked to order the opera troupe to sing at home. He learned quickly and picked up two lines to sing.

If it sounds good and you like it, then sing it.

Who dares to say that he sings badly or incorrectly? His master is here!

The master's strength is the disciple's confidence!
When the singing got excited, Shenshui even started to slide on the ice. The three of them sang and danced as if they were on vacation. His singing could be heard from far away, and after a while, he suddenly stopped.

Du Xinghe raised his eyebrows: "Huh? Why don't you sing anymore?"

"Master, there is a lot of snow on the iceberg next to us," Canshui shrank his shoulders and lowered his voice: "Talking loudly can cause an avalanche, not to mention singing loudly. I won't cause trouble, I'm super good!" He took the opportunity to ask for credit.

Du Xinghe followed his gaze and saw a tall iceberg covered with white snow.

If there was an avalanche in this location, they would be the first to suffer.

Du Xinghe smiled: "Will it snow in Xiaoyun Mountain?"

"It doesn't snow in Xiaoyun Mountain. I heard from travelers that it doesn't snow. Today is the first time I've seen snow."

"Then just sing, maybe you can see an avalanche."

What kind of nonsense is this?

But these two disciples were obedient to their master. After receiving Du Xinghe's instructions, Shenshui began to sing loudly again. His graceful and charming singing voice echoed among the glaciers. It was hard to imagine that such gentle music would appear in the ice and snow.

Can people's screaming trigger an avalanche? Some people say it is due to the resonance effect, while others say there is no necessary connection, but film and television works like to link the two together to add a sense of thrill to the snow-capped mountains.

Shenshui sang particularly hard. Just when he sang the line "I share my pillow and quilt all night long with no one" from "Twelve Poems of Boudoir Love", a rumbling sound came from the north. He looked to the north and showed a look of fear.

Du Xinghe: "Continue."

The snow that had accumulated over the years was stimulated and fell down in torrents.

As the potential energy accumulated, when it was about to fall on the three people, it already carried the momentum to swallow up the heavens and earth.

In a flash, her sword was unsheathed.

The three-foot sword light shook the stars, shook the clouds and thunder, and destroyed the snow-capped peaks!
The layers of sword formations cut the collapsing snow into pieces. The surging spiritual power was three times more ferocious than the avalanche. The sword force became thousands of flying waves, dissolving the avalanche among thousands of swords.

A disaster that could destroy a small village in the blink of an eye was just a matter of a sword for her.

The singing returned to normal.

Du Xinghe looked at his hand, and the thousand-petal lotus on the back of his hand slowly unfolded its petals.

The Chuixue Peak that Xinyue realized in her dream is even stronger than before.

When the surroundings returned to silence, the road was smoothed by the avalanche. Shenshui stepped on the soft snow and was about to try eating a mouthful of snow and then a mouthful of honey to see if it tasted as good as an ice bowl. Then Du Xinghe said, "There's something in the north."

The three of them looked towards the north.

It turned out that under the snow, there was a toad half the height of a mountain lying.

"What kind of spiritual beast is that? It looks very valuable!" Shenshui blurted out.

A toad's back should be covered with disgusting bumps, but this one is different. Its back is covered with densely packed sparkling gems of different colors. Under the sunlight, it reflects a fascinating light. The brilliance of the gems makes the surrounding white snow pale in comparison, making it even more bright and beautiful.

At this moment, it was half opening its eyes and tapping its feet impatiently.

The mountain that was hit by its lower limbs immediately shattered and a large piece of it slid down.

Du Xinghe: "I don't know him. Do you know him?"

Xinyue was ashamed: "Master, I don't know either."

Du Xinghe had no choice but to pull at his sword. The sword spirit suddenly became angry: "The sect's compulsory education has not yet been extended to magic weapons, and you expect me to use a sword!?"

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment; no one of them could step forward to offer explanation.

Outside the water mirror, Zheng Tianlu, who was the most knowledgeable, took a deep breath:
“A Hundred Treasures Ice Toad… No, the number of gems on its back must be more than a thousand. This is a Thousand Treasures Ice Toad!”

"what is this?"

Tian Xiao, who had been acting as a treasure escort in the back, suddenly became interested when he saw the jeweled beast. He leaned forward and asked, "It looks very valuable."

"It's more than just valuable! It can also produce top-grade spirit stones! Wait... you're too close, don't stick your whole body to the water mirror!" Zheng Tianlu pulled him off the water mirror in frustration, "There are almost no wild Hundred Treasures Ice Toads. Don't let your eyes light up just because it can produce top-grade spirit stones. It takes a lot of spirit stones and gems to cultivate it, and only some wealthy immortal cultivation families can afford it. Look, this one has evolved into a Thousand Treasures Ice Toad. How could such a treasure be left out in the open?"

Even the old man at the judging table was surprised: "Isn't this Thousand Treasures Ice Toad the leader's pet?"

"Yes, the leader treasures it very much. It is said that he even owed some foreign debts to raise it."

"I wanted to touch it last time, but the leader wouldn't let me! How could the leader be willing to put it into the secret realm of Ten States?" Everyone looked puzzled and looked at Chi Wenxing.

Chi Wenxing's face, which was dark from head to toe and full of resentment from working overtime, now showed a smile: "Is this the leader's pet? I don't know. The leader asked me to take charge of all the leader's affairs. I want to release a suitable spiritual beast into the Ten States Secret Realm. I think this Thousand Treasure Ice Toad is quite suitable."

The leader has nothing, and all the valuables he has are fed to his pet.

He felt that there was nothing worthy of the deputy leader's greed, and he never expected that she could throw in living things.

"Should... we take it back?" one of the judges hesitated.

"How could this be???"

Chi Wenxing was shocked. She said righteously, "Don't forget what the leader always said. Our Immortal Alliance must be fair, open and just. The Immortal Alliance Competition is still going on. How can we capture the spirit beasts that have been put into the secret realm? It's too unfair."

Everyone looked at her and felt that there were four words engraved on her forehead -

Public revenge.

There were judges who had a better relationship with the leader and wanted to fight for him, but they were stopped by their colleagues through secret messages: "Say less. The day before yesterday, the leader's thousand-year-old fortune tree was almost dead because Chi Wenxing poured poisonous gold juice on it. Wenxing is fertilizing it."

The judge shuddered and decided to keep his mouth shut.

At this time, the cultivators and spirit beasts in the Ten States Secret Realm were unaware of the twists and turns of the outside world.

Qianbao Ice Toad only knew that he had a very long sleep.

After waking up, I moved from the ice bed and ice pillow to the iceberg.

But it originally liked the spiritual wild icebergs more, so it didn't care and slept more soundly. In its sleep, a sweet voice kept waking it up. Although it didn't understand what was being sung, it loved this sweet song very much.

The subsequent avalanche actually woke it up.

Toad didn’t get enough sleep, so he was unhappy.

At the same time, the huge movement of the avalanche also attracted the attention of another group of people.

The three people led by Yin Cifeng rushed over after hearing the noise and happened to run into Du Xinghe. He was about to ask why he was singing so loudly in the glacier and whether he was not afraid of attracting powerful spirit beasts, when his junior fellow apprentice behind him cried out, "Brother, look, it's the Hundred Treasures Ice Toad!"

He didn't see the number of gems behind the toad.

But a Hundred Treasures Ice Toad of such a huge size is also precious enough.

Yin Cifeng also looked over, and after seeing the jeweled spiritual beast, he couldn't help but be tempted. He looked at Du Xinghe and said, "We have traveled a long way to find the Hundred Treasures Ice Toad, and finally found it."

In fact, they were just preparing to cross the glacier just like crossing the galaxy.

They discovered the ice toad later than she did.

But his words made it sound as if they had put a lot of effort into this Hundred Treasures Ice Toad and it was the prey they had been eyeing for a long time.

Shenshui behind her quickly covered her senior sister's mouth, causing Xinyue to swallow back the words "So this is the Hundred Treasures Ice Toad" before she could say it out loud.

When it comes to underworld wisdom, the swindlers who hang around in the market are indeed slightly better.

"Oh?"

As expected, Du Xinghe chuckled, "What a coincidence. We have also been looking for this Hundred Treasures Ice Toad for a long time. I knew it was hidden under the snow, so I asked my apprentice to sing loudly to shake the snow off."

Although she just knew the name of the spirit beast a second ago, it didn't stop her from looking for it for a long time.

When you go out, your motivations are all given by yourself.

Yin Cifeng's face turned slightly cold, knowing that the other party was not going to give it to them.

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world? How can you be sure that you know it is under the snow?" Yin Cifeng's fellow apprentice behind him questioned.

"Of course I know," Du Xinghe said calmly, "Otherwise why would I ask my apprentice to sing here? Wouldn't that be insane?"

Although her apprentice loves to do some crazy things.

Maybe the street performing blood flowing in the monkey has awakened.

A monkey may not be alive, but it cannot have no life.

"You, you, what are you singing about?"

Yin Cifeng's junior sister said with some embarrassment.

They are somewhat educated and know that the lyrics they write will not pass the review.

Du Xinghe felt more at ease: "That is my apprentice's personal preference."

Shenshui followed behind and nodded.

Although he didn't know what the master was talking about, as long as it was the character setting given to him by the master, he would accept it all.

The fellow students all looked at Yin Cifeng at the same time.

He was one of the only three Jindan cultivators in this Immortal Alliance Competition. He was a drug-taking genius created by the Yin family with all their efforts and various rare natural treasures. Of course, it didn't sound very glorious, but those who could break through the Jindan stage by absorbing the power of medicine and practicing had no less talent than others and were very good at refining the power of medicine, otherwise those immortal cultivation families would have been able to mass-produce Jindan.

Of course, Yin Cifeng had heard a little about the person in front of him.

A casual cultivator of the Golden Core Realm, a genius swordsman who was able to defeat Su Yan of the Nine Yang Sect.

"Although the Hundred Treasures Ice Toad is good, it has to be cultivated to a thousand treasures before it can start to produce high-quality spirit stones," Yin Cifeng said, "The initial investment is a mountain of gold and silver, and it can't be stopped. Daoist friend has obtained it but it is useless. I wonder if you can give it up?"

Shenshui quietly translated beside the senior sister: "He said that our master can't afford to keep this frog."

Xinyue clenched the bone phoenix flute tightly, her face looking unfriendly.

Du Xinghe smiled: "My senior sister is Wen Shuyu."

She finally experienced the joy of making connections in the world of immortal cultivation.

Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned Wen Shuyu's name, Yin Jiufeng's expression changed.

With the support of the Wen family, he would certainly be able to raise a Hundred Treasures Ice Toad.

Zheng Tianlu outside the water mirror was quite relieved. He decided to record this and send it to his master and senior sister - their junior sister knew the name of her fellow disciple! She finally realized that she was not fighting alone!

Yin Cifeng in the water mirror was unwilling to give up the Hundred Treasures Ice Toad. He said in a deep voice: "It seems that we can only speak with strength."

"can."

Du Xinghe didn't waste any words and drew his sword directly: "Are we going to fight one on one, or three on three, with all our strength?"

Yin Cifeng sneered: "Daoyou really has martial ethics."

"That's not."

"It's three on three, of course. No need to hold back."

Yin Cifeng said.

His two junior brothers and sisters are twins. The cooperation of them is better than thousands of troops. How can they be compared with this kind of casual cultivator who changed his career halfway?

The next moment, Xinyue, who had tolerated him for a long time, immediately raised her hand and played.

Du Xinghe hurriedly reminded: "Don't use illusion!"

Without the help of other objects, the illusion cannot be used against cultivators of higher levels than oneself. Not only will it be easily discovered, but it is also more likely to be backfired in the spiritual world. Fortunately, Xinyue was very careful and only created an emotional impact on the opponent to reduce his fighting spirit.

She didn't go after Yin Cifeng, but the fellow students behind him.

Those two were both Jindan cultivators. How could they resist her at the same level?
Their legs were trembling and they couldn't even stand steadily. They had to rely on each other to support themselves.

Yin Cifeng snorted coldly, unfolded a spear wrapped in flames in his hand, and attacked Du Xinghe with the momentum of ten thousand beasts galloping!
"The one with the spear, reminds me of an old friend."

"The Thunder Spiritual Root cultivator beside you?" He raised his eyebrows: "I have seen the image stone of your sparring. If you can't beat him, you certainly can't beat me either."

Du Xinghe was speechless for a moment.

Tianxiao’s business has grown so extensive.

Du Xinghe blocked his spear power with a sword: "Compared to him, you are too far behind. I lost to him not because of his use of spears, but because he has more combat experience from killing in mountains of corpses and seas of blood than me."

Hearing this, Yin Cifeng's face became even gloomier.

Combat experience, what does it mean?
Mocking him that his realm, which he had reached by eating elixirs and consuming rare treasures, was unrealistic, and that he was not as good as a cultivator with thunder spiritual roots?

The more people care about their own shortcomings, the more they will look for clues in other people's words that the other person looks down on them for this reason.

Yin Cifeng was furious: "I won't hold back. Once I get your heart-protecting amulet out, I will make you apologize to me and make you pay the price for looking down on me."

"what?"

Du Xinghe used his sword to remove his Fiery Gun, feeling a little confused.

Tian Xiao is a Jindan spear cultivator after all, and he also has a rare natural spiritual root.

She didn't compare him with any unremarkable people.

She didn’t despise him???

Du Xinghe felt that he valued him very much, and even released Qilin while fighting.

When the strange beast with cloud patterns all over its body pounced on him, Yin Cifeng was stunned: "You are just a casual cultivator, but you actually have such a powerful guardian beast. It seems that alchemists are really profitable."

He treated it as a guardian beast that he bought at a high price with spirit stones.

The guard beasts had already been tamed by the beastmasters long ago, so the monks did not need to bother taming them anymore, and they would loyally protect their masters.

【Mom, mom, mom! 】

[Mom! What is this person talking about! What is a guardian beast? I am my mother's baby! ]

Qilin couldn't stand anyone slandering its relationship with its mother, so he pursued the man relentlessly.

Yin Cifeng's spear has a strange flame, and Qilin also has a white flame that can purify everything.

Du Xinghe smiled: "It's not a guard beast. I don't think I told you yet that I'm actually a beast tamer."

"...you fart!"

Yin Cifeng was so angry that he vomited blood and started talking without thinking.

But soon, he couldn't concentrate on talking to her.

It was already difficult to resist her and Qilin's attack, not to mention the two disciples behind Du Xinghe... He originally thought that they were all Du Xinghe's pendants. At most, Du Xinyue had some skills. There were not many weapon cultivators who were good at music. But the beautiful female cultivator next to her, Shenshui, was actually a close combat with a stick? !

With a swipe of his long stick, he beat his fellow apprentices so hard that they almost ran away.

Yin Cifeng was proud of his high level of cultivation and did not know much about the strength of other cultivators in the Immortal Alliance Competition.

Cultivation is everything.

In a one-on-one fight, Shenshui was indeed no match for him.

But, Shenshui only needs to provide assistance to Du Xinghe.

"There's something strange about your sword!"

Wherever Du Xinghe hit, some of the spiritual energy would be sucked away, making Yin Cifeng extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Du Xinghe still had the leisure to chat with him: "I also know a little bit about the Star Absorbing Technique."

In fact, when refining the spirit sword, system jewelry that can absorb the spiritual power of others was added.

Yin Cifeng was defeated step by step, and there was no more pride on his face.

He was not stupid. He knew he couldn't win but still insisted. He shouted, "Wait, fellow Taoist, I admit defeat! This Hundred Treasures Ice Toad is yours!"

The sword did not stop, and knocked out his heart-protecting amulet.

"Ah? Hundred Treasures Ice Toad?"

Du Xinghe seemed to have just remembered his original purpose, and smiled without any shame: "It's okay, beating you is just a piece of cake."
