Chapter 242: Ice Fairy and Ice Phoenix
True Lord Baiyang was silent for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "Bai girl, you know the rules here!"
"If the transaction content of the person you introduced does not satisfy me, then you know the consequences!"
Bai Yaoyi smiled when she heard this, and said softly: "I am naturally aware of this, but I think Brother Ye's deal will definitely not disappoint you!"
After a moment, Ye Changsheng felt the gaze in the mist shift to him again, and heard a cold voice:
"Fellow Daoist Ye, what kind of deal do you want to make with me?"
Ye Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "I heard that there is an eighth-level white spirit shark on Aries Island. I want a drop of its heart essence blood!"
Hearing this, the voice in the mist changed and said calmly: "I do have an eighth-level white spirit shark here, but if I take away its essence and blood, it will seriously damage the beast's vitality. What do you plan to exchange for it?"
"Ye has an eighth-level demon pill in his hand..."
Before Ye Changsheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by True Lord Baiyang indifferently: "What's the use of the eighth-level demon pill? Can it help me break through to the God Transformation Realm?"
Hearing this, Bai Yaoyi smiled bitterly and quickly sent a message to Ye Changsheng: "Brother Ye, this senior has been stuck at the bottleneck of the Spiritual Transformation for hundreds of years. Now the only thing that can make him excited is something related to the breakthrough of the Spiritual Transformation!"
Ye Changsheng was speechless when he heard this. Even if he had something related to breaking through the bottleneck of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he would not take it out for exchange.
"However, judging from what this person said just now, his life span should not be long..." Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
Although it is impossible to come up with anything related to the breakthrough to the God Transformation stage, things that can prolong life should be very important for this old monster.
So, Ye Changsheng thought about it, and then said loudly again: "I have an elixir of immortality in my hand, which can extend my life by several decades. I think it should not be !"
"Oh? Pills that can prolong life? I have taken a lot of these things. If what you have in your hand is something I have taken, it will be useless!" True Lord Baiyang's tone suddenly changed, and he spoke gently.
"We'll know whether it's useful or not at a glance!" Ye Changsheng said, throwing a jade bottle into the clouds in front.
The clouds condensed and turned into a big hand, which grabbed the jade bottle and sent it into a cave on the mountain.
After a moment, a joyful voice sounded from the mountain peak: "Good! Good! Good! This is actually the elixir of immortality made from the ancient longevity fruit. I have never taken this kind of elixir before. I want this elixir of immortality!"
"Longevity Fruit?!"
After hearing this, Bai Yaoyi's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
This longevity fruit was a well-known longevity item in ancient times. Unfortunately, it can no longer be found in the human world today.
I wonder where this Fellow Daoist Ye found the longevity fruit?
This kind of life-extending item has a fatal temptation to an old monster like True Lord Baiyang.
"I am very satisfied with the deal proposed by Fellow Daoist Ye. Please wait for a moment!"
After such a voice was heard in the clouds, there was silence.
After a while, a wailing sound suddenly came from Aries Island. The sound was like a young girl crying, shrill and mournful.
Not long after, the clouds and mist were disturbed again, and a jade bottle flew out of it and flew towards Ye Changsheng.
"That beast is not very willing. This drop of blood will reduce his strength of hundreds of years. Alas, if it were not for this elixir of immortality, I would never agree to this deal!" said True Lord Baiyang with some emotion.
"The lifespan of monsters is far beyond what we humans can compare to. Hundreds of years may seem long to humans, but it is nothing to monsters. I think with your collection, it would be easy to make up for the loss of this monster!" Ye Changsheng said lightly after taking the jade bottle.
He opened the jade bottle and saw a drop of bright red blood lying quietly inside. In the blood drop, there was a tiny monster with a human body and a fish tail swimming faintly.
"It is indeed the blood essence of the White Spirit Shark. All we need to do next is find the Ice Dream Lotus!"
"Bing Menglian should be on the Arctic ice field. It's just right to borrow the power of Xiaoji Palace!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
"Well, now that the transaction has been completed, you two may leave and don't disturb my meditation!" The calm voice of True Lord Baiyang came from the clouds.
"The two juniors take their leave . May the senior break through to the Spiritual Transformation realm as soon as possible!" Bai Yaoyi said with a giggle and a bow.
Then, he and Ye Changsheng turned into two streams of light and left the island submerged in clouds.
…
Beiming Island is a peninsula adjacent to the inland of Dajin, surrounded by the sea on three sides, or rather, by ice.
The northernmost part of Da Jin is the vast North Ocean, but the weather here is so cold that even some low-level cultivators dare not go out without warm clothing.
The weather is so cold that the oceans surrounding Beiming Island on three sides have completely turned into endless glaciers.
The endless expanse of ice and snow, no one knows how vast it is.
Beiming Island itself is only a million miles wide. In the northernmost part of the island there is a huge ice city. Inside this ice city is the Beiye Xiaoji Palace, which is known as the number one sect in the north.
In terms of sect strength alone, Xiaoji Palace is actually not inferior to some of the lower-ranked sects among the top ten sects of the righteous and evil sects in the Great Jin Dynasty.
However, due to the remote location of Beiming Island, many cultivators in Dajin believed that it no longer belonged to Dajin and that it was a barren land, so they also included Xiaoji Palace in the overseas cultivator sects.
It is also for this reason that Xiaoji Palace has always been excluded from the ranking of the top ten sects of righteousness and evil.
But among the sparsely populated northern states of Dajin, Beiye Xiaoji Palace is more famous than the Taiyi Sect and Tianmo Sect, the leaders of the righteous and evil forces in Dajin.
Under the guidance of Bai Yaoyi, Ye Changsheng and her crossed 100,000 miles of extremely cold ice fields and came to a huge ice city built on the mountain.
The city looked sparkling and emitting colorful light under the sun. In addition, there was some faint white mist surrounding the city, making the Ice City look like a fairyland in Tianshan Mountains. It really did not look like a building in the human world.
"This is where our Xiaoji Palace is!" Bai Yaoyi said, pointing to the ice city and giant mountains in the distance, with a hint of pride in her eyes.
"Let's go, Brother Ye. You are a distinguished guest. Now that you are here in our Xiaoji Palace, let me, the landlord, entertain you well !" The woman smiled sweetly and said in a charming manner.
Ye Changsheng nodded calmly and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Fairy!"
Flying into the Ice City, Ye Changsheng saw that the huge mountain on which the Ice City was built was soaring into the sky. The entire mountain was covered with a thick layer of ice, and there were a large number of palace buildings on it.
Bai Yaoyi led Ye Changsheng around the palace buildings and came to a huge ice wall about hundreds of feet high.
"These buildings on the mountain that look like palaces are actually for low-level disciples to live in. The real high-level inner disciples are all in the Hanli Secret Realm behind this ice wall!"
"This is the real location of our Xiaoji Palace!"
As Bai Yaoyi spoke, she took out a token and stuck it on the ice wall. The next moment, the ice wall trembled silently and slowly split in the middle, revealing a passage about two meters wide.
After walking through the passage, I arrived at the Hanli Secret Realm, and a world completely different from the outside world appeared before my eyes.
The trees are green, the birds are singing, and the flowers are fragrant. This is actually a fully enclosed valley surrounded by walls on all four sides.
There are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants planted everywhere, and the weather is sunny and it looks like spring all year round.
The valley is several miles wide and is surrounded by green mountain walls. Many pavilions and towers are built half leaning against the mountain walls.
In the very middle of the valley, there are three large halls built of white jade, occupying almost one-third of the valley.
The styles of those three palaces were exactly the same as the Xutian Palace that appeared in the Chaos Star Sea, with almost no difference.
Ye Changsheng narrowed his eyes when he saw the three palaces.
This Xiaoji Palace is the Taoist sect of the Ice Soul Fairy. If they knew that the Xutian Ding was in her possession, they would probably kill her at all costs.
Even if Bai Yaoyi and I have a good relationship because of our previous experiences, I am afraid she will still stand against me.
However, since Ye Changsheng dared to enter this Xiaoji Palace so openly, he naturally would not feel worried about it.
As long as he doesn't take out the Qianlan Ice Flame, no one in the Dajin will know that the Xutian Ding is in his possession.
In fact, even in the Chaos Star Sea, almost no one knew that he had obtained the Xu Tian Ding.
"Those three halls are called Xu Ling Halls. They were built by the founder of our sect and several good friends using their tremendous magical powers!" Bai Yaoyi said, pointing at the three halls.
"Xu Ling Palace? Judging from the aura, the founder of your sect is definitely not an ordinary person!" Ye Changsheng said with emotion.
"Of course. Our sect's founder, Fairy Bingpo, is a legendary figure who ascended to a higher realm!" Bai Yaoyi said in a tone of great yearning.
Her dream in this life is to cultivate to the point where she can fly into the sky like her ancestor, Fairy Bingpo.
"Brother Ye, please follow me. That's where I live, Baining Pavilion!" Bai Yaoyi said, pointing to a building in the distance.
The two flew over and saw a three-story building. Each floor was more than ten feet high. It was built entirely with emerald green wood and most of it was embedded in the mountain wall.
Entering the attic, a simple set of green bamboo tables and chairs appeared in front of her. Bai Yaoyi took a look at the decorations here and chuckled, "This place is simple, I hope Brother Ye won't mind!"
"It's okay. I don't have so many requirements for accommodation!" Ye Changsheng glanced around and said lightly.
"The Ice Dream Lotus that Brother Ye needs was actually not that common in this Arctic ice field two thousand years ago, but it's not hard to find!"
"But nowadays, this kind of elixir is rarely seen. At least, in the hundreds of years that I have been in Xiaoji Palace, I have never heard anyone talk about the Ice Dream Lotus!" Bai Yaoyi said softly as she sat on the bamboo chair opposite Ye Changsheng.
Ye Changsheng also sat down, frowned and asked: "Why is this?"
“Even we monks in Xiaoji Palace don’t know the reason behind this. It is said to be related to the Lord of the Ice Sea!” Bai Yaoyi said.
"Lord of the Ice Sea?! Ice Phoenix?" Ye Changsheng's eyes narrowed when he heard this.
"Oh, it seems that even a cultivator like Brother Ye who is far inland has heard of the reputation of the Lord of the Ice Sea!"
"This is a level 10 demon beast that has lived for who knows how long. It is said that it has already stepped halfway into the Spiritual Transformation Stage. It is one of the strongest in the entire Dajin demon clan!"
"After excluding the Valley Master of Ten Thousand Demons Valley, this one is the most respected among the demon clan. Countless demon beasts in the entire Arctic ice field are under her command!" Bai Yaoyi said solemnly.
Ye Changsheng also frowned slightly. He knew Bing Feng even better than Bai Yaoyi.
The Lord of the Ice Sea has not merely stepped half a foot into the Divine Transformation State, but she can enter the Divine Transformation State whenever she wants.
The reason why she was suppressing her realm and not breaking through was because she was afraid that after entering the Spirit Transformation stage, she would no longer be able to attack at will.
"I will mobilize the disciples of Xiaoji Palace to try their best to investigate the news about Bing Menglian, but I estimate that the final clue will still lead to Bingyuan Island where the Lord of the Ice Sea is!" Bai Yaoyi said.
Ye Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you very much, Fairy. I don't have any requirements for the age of the Ice Dream Lotus. Even seedlings or seeds are fine, as long as they are Ice Dream Lotus!"
"Okay, Brother Ye, you can live here for the next period of time. I will go and help you arrange the tasks!" Bai Yaoyi said with a bright smile.
After Bai Yaoyi left, Ye Changsheng's face showed a thoughtful look.
From the notes of the Yuanying cultivator of the Dajin Dynasty that he obtained from the Ghost Mist Land, he learned that in that era, although the Ice Dream Lotus was also a very precious medicinal material, it was actually not very difficult to find one.
If one wants to mix that kind of spiritual liquid, an Ice Dream Lotus that is more than three thousand years old can meet the requirement.
In the era when that Nascent Soul cultivator lived, not to mention the three thousand year old Ice Dream Lotus, even the ten thousand year old Ice Dream Lotus could be found on this ice field.
However, by the time of Ye Changsheng, the situation was completely different.
If what Bai Yaoyi said is true, then there must be something wrong with the elixir Bing Menglian, which caused Bing Feng to take it all away.
The Bingyuan Island where the Ice Phoenix is located is not an easy place to enter. This is a level ten monster with true spirit bloodline, and it is more terrifying than any late Nascent Soul cultivator Ye Changsheng has ever seen before.
Ye Changsheng had no doubt that Bingyuan Island, where the Ice Phoenix was in charge, was as dangerous as Tianxing City, where the two Tianxing Saints were in charge.
As long as they stay there, they will be invincible in the human world.
Even a Divine Transformation cultivator would not want to provoke them, because if they wanted to kill them, they would probably lose half their life as well.
"From the original novel, there are more than 20 humanoid monsters in this ice sea, plus a level 10 ice phoenix. It can be said to be a den of dragons and tigers."
"But I have a high-level Breath-Suppressing Talisman and an Incarnation Talisman in my hand, so it's not impossible for me to give it a try..." Ye Changsheng looked out the window, and thoughts gradually emerged in his mind.
