Chapter 339: Drinking in the Ice Room
(Chapter 92 is newly written. Those who read it yesterday can go back and read it. Apologies again!)
From what we can see, the room that Taoist Heilu chose to enter this time has been visited by someone before.

It seemed that more than one person had been here before. The place was quite clean inside, and even the lamps and tea bowls were gone. Only a bare stone table with a chessboard engraved on it remained, waiting for the newcomers.

“Hehe, I have used all my luck in my life on this treasure.” The Taoist in black shoes covered his chest, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, laughed at himself, and put the stone table into his storage bag.

“My elder brother told me that no matter what time it is, I must not return empty-handed.”

The black-shoe Taoist did not feel depressed at all. He drew his sword and the light of the Tingquan Sword illuminated the room. The sword holder looked at me with a sharp gaze: “I am lucky today. The third-level formation master has left me the means to sharpen my sword. How can I not be happy!”

At the same time, Yuan Feng had a gloomy face and searched the empty room again and again before he gave up.

He put away the exquisite map in his hand, stared at the light curtain at the exit of the room, slashed with his short spear, and the worry between his brows became even more intense: “I’m afraid it will take three days to get out.”

“That won’t do. The viewing cave is only open for fifteen days each cycle. We can’t waste all our time trying to break the formation.” The young master of the Yuan family made up his mind, and a round, ink-colored treasure came out. After a noise, the light curtain disappeared.

“Tsk, it’s all because of the inaccurate map provided by the retainer who claimed to be the descendant of a cave explorer. I wasted a second-level array-breaking bead in vain! When I return, I will definitely skin him alive and humiliate him to death!”

Yuan Feng’s face was full of violence. Even with the status that the Yuan family wanted, this second-level formation-breaking bead could be considered a rare item. The huge Yuan family only provided him with four beads after getting the approval of Yuan Buwen, the fake Dan ancestor.

Now he had to use one for an empty room, and Yuan Feng felt heartbroken.

After he left the room, he saw Lang Yi also coming out of a room. At this time, the old monk had a strange expression on his face, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad.

It was not surprising that Yuan Feng came out faster than Lang Yi when he saw him. After all, this fellow lived for more than two hundred years and had come to this cave with great deliberate planning. It would be difficult for him to break the ban if he did not have any means to do so.

Although Lang Yi’s expression was hard to describe, he immediately had an idea as soon as he saw Yuan Feng.

The old cultivator was not in a relaxed mood at the moment. He forced a smile and said, “Did you gain much, Fellow Daoist Yuan?” Yuan Feng was touched by someone’s sore spot, but he couldn’t speak directly. He just asked, “Did Senior Lang gain anything?”

Lang Yi pondered for a moment, then took out a purple fragrant cake and placed it in front of Yuan Feng.

Yuan Feng knew what the thing in front of him was. Lang Yi’s action frightened him so much that his eyes widened and he immediately became murderous!
The young master of the Yuan family didn’t even bother to say a word. He raised the short spear in his hand and a swift and sharp light slashed towards Lang Yi.

“Old thief, give me the incense!”

Lang Yi had of course been prepared. Seeing Yuan Feng’s short spear was sharp, countless vines suddenly grew out of the old monk’s long sleeves, entangled into a dense vine wall to protect him behind him.

The halberd’s light only left a deep scar on the vine wall built by Lang Yi. The vines were full of vitality and did not give up even after being damaged. They sprouted countless tender leaves and branches to fill the deep scar again.

But after all, Yuan Feng was practicing the “Mufu Star God’s Spear-wielding Man’s Military Strategy” handed down from generation to generation in the Yuan family, and the “Tujian” in his hand was a top-grade spiritual weapon that the fake pill master had used himself.

There was still a lingering aura of destruction in the deep cracks in the vine wall. The tender leaves and branches grown by the vines wanted to fill the gap, but as soon as they got close, they were crushed and annihilated by that aura.

“This old cultivator came from a humble background in Qingye Foundation, but his wood skills are extraordinary. I wonder where he inherited them from?” Although Yuan Feng had a bad temper, his eyesight was quite good.

Although I have seen most of this old cultivator’s abilities along the way, I still couldn’t hide my surprise when I saw Lang Yi Mu Fa again this time.

Generally speaking, no one would deliberately provoke an old cultivator who is nearing the end of his lifespan. After all, the poorest and most powerful people in the cultivation world are not those solitary independent cultivators, but old cultivators like Lang Yi who don’t even have much time left to live.

If such an experienced cultivator also has the bonus of being a casual cultivator, he will be even more free from worries and have nothing to worry about.

However, although their methods are sharp and they spare no expense, after withstanding the first three attacks, their bodies will inevitably become weak and they will be at the mercy of others.

But Lang Yi was different from the ordinary old cultivators who were about to die. The efforts he made in the Puppet Bridge and the Taoist Soldier Palace were not necessarily much less than those of the other four. The fact that he still had such abilities after surviving until now was really beyond Yuan Feng’s expectations.

After Lang Yi used the wood method to repel the “slaughter sword” in Yuan Feng’s hand, he did not look complacent, but only said pleadingly: “Don’t worry, Daoist friend Yuan, this Toad Dew and Osmanthus Fragrance is a treasure in Daoist’s eyes, but it is useless to Lang Yi’s broken body. If Daoist friend wants it, just bring something to exchange for it.”

“Ivy?” Yuan Feng said indifferently. For a life span like this, which cultivator would think it’s too much? But as long as he could get the Toad Dew and Cinnamon Fragrance from Lang Yi, for the young master of the Yuan family, this deal was not a loss.

“That’s right,” Lang Yi said without hesitation, and retracted the vine wall, and countless vines returned to the old cultivator’s sleeves. The evil energy that Yuan Feng had created with the butcher knife had no support, so it fell into the empty space, creating a deep pit on the ground.

“I am not as far along in the path as Fellow Daoist Yuan. Apart from the ivy and the longevity pill, I don’t want anything else. Not only the toad dew and osmanthus fragrance, but also all the treasures obtained on this trip, I am willing to exchange them.”

Lang Yi lowered his eyebrows and spoke sincerely, and bowed deeply towards Yuan Feng, showing his sincerity.

“Senior Lang, you are too polite.” Yuan Feng received the massacre. Although he had not given up the idea of ​​using force, Lang was a difficult character to deal with after all. If he fought with him at this time, it would only benefit others, which was not good.

“If I really find two spiritual objects that can prolong life, I will exchange them with them first. After I get out of Guanshan Cave and collect the essence from my sister, Chu Yanran, and Xiaoguaiguai, I will be able to slowly take back the treasures that the others have taken.”

The murderous intent in Yuan Feng’s eyes gradually subsided, but Lang Yi still looked neither sad nor happy. The two confronted each other for a while and then went their separate ways.

After Yuan Feng said goodbye to Lang Yi, he entered a quiet room. Not long after, he heard another shout and curse from inside: “You son of a bitch!” The young master of the Yuan family didn’t believe that his luck was so bad, and he searched the room without giving up.

At this time, Master Kang and his entourage were also crossing two dangerous places, the Puppet Gallery Bridge and the Taoist Soldier Palace, with a group of water beasts.

With the Black Shoe Taoist and others leading the way, Kang Dabao and his party had a smooth journey. However, the atmosphere among the four of them was a little weird.

Beforehand, Zhang Qingran had the cinnabar broken by the talisman water that Yuan Xiyue had spent a lot of effort to make, and she immediately swallowed the remaining talisman water that was full of yang energy with embarrassment.

Just as Yuan Xiyue said, although Yuan Feng put a lot of effort into the toad blood he drew for Zhang Qingran, it was indeed not difficult for her.

After Zhang Qingran drank the talisman water, he felt his mind was clear and bright, as if he was reborn.

However, she did not get rid of the shackles of life and death controlled by others for long. As soon as she felt happy, Yuan Xiyue planted a Mingfei Seal for her, which was similar to Yuan Feng’s Shougongsha.

According to the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, “Even if Sect Leader Kang were to break the Yang Blood Lock Heart Curse for me, I would still not be truly free. It is better to do this, so that both of us can feel at ease.”

It was then that Master Kang suddenly came to his senses. No wonder this female cultivator was so open and frank when she helped Zhang Qingran break the sand, and she was not afraid at all of breaking her promise to remove the curse for her.

Kang Dabao initially thought that it was his good reputation in Yunjiaozhou where his words were influential that had worked, but it turned out that the other party had his own support.

The joy in Zhang Qingran’s heart would not disappear out of thin air, but would just move to the bulging breast on the left side of Yuan Xiyue.

Although she felt somewhat embarrassed to be able to face others openly because Kang Dabao tore open her clothes again when she was removing the curse, Yuan Xiyue still felt extremely comfortable to be free of the restraints.

And Master Kang did not feel that he suffered any loss. After all, Yuan Xiyue was right beside him. If he could control her once, he could control her the second time as well.

As for Zhang Qingran, apart from replenishing some yang energy, he didn’t seem to suffer any loss.

After all, in the cultivation world, no one ever gives out food out of pity. How could anyone help you for no reason?
So in such a strange atmosphere, Kang Dabao and others followed a group of water beasts to the place where Guanyu Shangxiu once stayed and the place where the Star-Patterned Jade Turtle played.

“Fellow Daoist Crocodile, how do we find the key?” When his spiritual sense explored, he saw more than a hundred houses. Master Kang was at a loss and asked softly.

E Yuan was confident and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Daoist friend. We in the Bihu lineage have been waiting for this day for who knows how long. We will find it eventually.”

No one knew what tricks Crocodile Yuan used, but Kang Dabao only felt that after these water beasts entered the Ice Drinking Room, they seemed to have gained clairvoyance and were familiar with the place, as if they had returned to their hometown.

“Oh no,” the team stopped at the door of a room that looked ordinary in the eyes of Master Kang. Crocodile Yuan said in a low voice, and the water beasts became restless for the first time.

“Someone got there first.” Kang Dabao muttered in a low voice.

E Yuan was complaining in his heart: “According to the ancestral precepts, the only room in the Ice Drinking Room that has the key to the Turtle Stone Room hidden is this one, which never changes its location. It has always been in the southeast corner of the Ice Drinking Room. How can it be such a coincidence?”

“In that case, Fellow Daoist Crocodile, why don’t we explore it on our own first?” Yuan Xiyue suggested in a crisp voice, looking towards the room next door.

It was not surprising that the female cultivator made such a suggestion. She had come here originally for the Toad Dew and Osmanthus Fragrance. Now that she had the opportunity to explore the Ice Drinking Room and get rid of Master Kang, who had been keeping his eyes on her, she would naturally not give up.

E Yuan’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “Fellow Daoist Yuan, E Yuan has said before that the true essence of the Guanshan Cave Mansion is behind the Spirit Turtle Stone Chamber. The few mundane things in the Drinking Ice Room are just like grains of rice compared to it. For now, please don’t lose the big picture for the small, or you will regret it for the rest of your life. We will wait for the cultivators who enter this room to come out, and we can’t go anywhere else.”

Not only did Yuan Xiyue disagree with E Yuan’s statement, but even Kang Dabao didn’t quite agree with it.

Who knows whether what you, a four-legged beast covered in scales and armor, said is true or not? There are so many rooms around and no one has entered them. It is possible that a golden elixir may be placed in any room you enter. With such an opportunity, who has such strong willpower to resist and give up?
Kang Dabao was about to pull Jiang Qing to start an argument with E Yuan, but he saw the barrier at the entrance of the room flickering, and a sturdy man with a sword on his back walked out.

“Yue Lan?!” Kang Dabao exclaimed in surprise.

“Monk, leave the things here!”

At this moment, Crocodile Yuan and other water beasts could no longer hold back and gathered around Yue Lan.

“Kang Dabao? There are so many water beasts?! Water beasts with spiritual power?!” Yue Lan was surprised, “Is there another entrance to Yueming Palace?”

“Hululu” the crocodile Yuan opened its huge mouth, and sharp serrations appeared. Each serration was as wide as a palm and as long as a palm, comparable to the power of a top-grade magic weapon.

Crocodile Yuan’s mouthful of sharp teeth came out one after another, not in a disorderly manner, but in a methodical way. A careful count showed that there were 365 of them, the number of the Zhou Tian stars, forming a formation that was extremely powerful.

This is a powerful spell that has never been shown in front of Kang Dabao and others before. It is really eye-catching when used at this time.

“Command!” Yue Lan formed a sword finger with his hand, and the flying sword behind him quickly came out of the sheath. In just a moment, the flying sword floated in the air, and eight colorless sword auras emanated, just like the cold moon, first in all directions, and then in all four corners.

The crocodile Yuan’s sawtooth formation failed to work, so Yue Lan used his signature moves to gain the upper hand. Not a single sawtooth was missed, and the eight sword energies slashed through it one by one, causing thousands of sparks to fly randomly.

Yue Lan was stunned, thinking to himself: “This beast is only a second-grade upper-grade beast, but its methods are powerful.”

However, what shocked Yue Lan was not just that. After the Crocodile Yuan Sawtooth Formation retreated, the Purple Bearded King Tuna’s long beard was like a whip, wrapped in cold wind, and pounced on him.

The sound of metal clashing shook the universe. Yue Lan’s face was as gloomy as water. “The two long whiskers of this fat fish are really powerful. I’m afraid they are comparable to the best spiritual weapons!”

The purple-bearded king tuna retreated first, and the six mysterious lights came again, and the one-horned poisonous porpoise sacrificed its life and followed closely behind. Yue Lan did not dare to hold back any more, and with a flick of his hand, the half-Chi climbed out from his waist and wandered on his shoulders.

This half-Chi is indeed worthy of being the biggest help in helping Yue Lan secure his position as the elder of the sect. It opened its small mouth and a slight sound of wind arose. With a “whoosh”, a large ball of blue demonic flame swallowed up all the mysterious light of the six-eyed widower. It did not stop and sprayed towards the place where the water beasts gathered!

The Lengyue Sword also did not stop. A white moonlight appeared on the sword body and it slashed fiercely on the poisonous pig’s horn.

“Hiss! Monk, die!”

A crisp sound and the painful cry of the unicorn porpoise sounded at the same time. Yue Lan was so shocked that his eyes widened and he shouted: “Another ‘Kai Ling’ monster?! Kang Dabao, do you know that you are colluding with monster cultivators? This is an unforgivable crime established by the Taizu of this dynasty?!”

He didn’t know that the head of the Kang Sect was also surprised at this time: “It seems that my guess was right. The four beasts in the lead are all ‘spiritual’ monsters. No wonder they regard ordinary monsters as nothing!”

Kang Dabao’s way of dealing with Yue Lan’s reproach was quite simple. His golden eyes that could see through delusion shot out instantly, causing the Leng Yue Sword, which was in mid-air defending against the Crocodile Yuan Sawtooth Array, to tremble, and most of the moonlight wrapped around it dissipated.

“Which of the 91 unforgivable crimes set by our dynasty’s founder has your Liangyi Sect not committed? And now you are shouting at us!” Kang Dabao was indignant, and the power of his pupil technique naturally increased by three points.

With the help of this, Crocodile Yuan took advantage of this gap. Most of the tooth formation was still fighting with the Lengyue Sword, and a small part was separated and aimed at Yue Lan’s Dharma body, wanting to cut it into minced meat.

The Banchi, which was burning the skin and flesh of a group of water beasts, naturally would not allow it to do so. It jumped out from Yue Lan’s shoulder, swept its tail horizontally, and the fine scales and serrations collided and intertwined, and the Banchi was at a disadvantage.

The blood falls like a thread and turns into plum blossoms when it hits the ground.

The Purple-Bearded King Tuna did not sit idly by. Its two long whiskers, as thick as sea bowls and extremely tough, whipped fiercely at the slender body of the Banchi. The muffled sound made the few first-level water beasts in the field turn their eyes white and almost faint.

Unexpectedly, although this half-Chi was small, it was not as weak as it appeared. Even after such a heavy blow, it only had some cuts on its skin and flesh, which made its ears droop in pain and it roared in anger.

Blue flames swept over accompanied by a sharp roar.

Yue Lan, the spiritual beast that could suppress Chu Yanran, who possessed a magic weapon passed down from generation to generation, was indeed extraordinary. When he unleashed his power, apart from the four leading beasts and Kang and Jiang who were not greatly affected, even Yuan Xiyue and Zhang Qingran, the two foundation-building cultivators, could only barely protect themselves.

The white dew in Jiang Qing’s hand was circulating rapidly, and his eyes were shining. He had practiced the Three Yang Sutra, the sect-protecting technique of Chongming Sect, for many years, and was no stranger to fire techniques, but the grand scene in front of him was something he had never seen before.

After all, he was a genius that only appeared once in the past two hundred years of Chongming Sect. When he saw this scene and resisted with his flying sword, he also had some different feelings in his heart.

“It’s because of my bad luck that I encountered such a misfortune!” Yue Lan groaned in his heart. Ban Chi’s fire magic could only buy him some breathing time, but it was impossible to force back the human-beast coalition forces by using it.

Sure enough, after Ban Chi took a breath, the four beasts led by E Yuan relied on their strong physique to pass through Lan Yan, who was a little exhausted, and rushed over.

What surprised Yue Lan was that the fat and bloated Chongming Sect Leader also rushed over?!

“If I had known earlier, I would have killed this guy with a sword when I was in the Quarry Mountain!” Yue Lan didn’t know how much luck Kang Dabao had gained in just twenty years to grow from a humble ant with no name and no money to such a level? !

The Purple-bearded King Tuna, the One-horned Poisonous Pig and the Six-eyed Widow separated Banchi from Yue Lan’s side, leaving the latter to fight against Crocodile Yuan and Sect Leader Kang alone.

“Give me the things in the room!!” E Yuan’s eyes were bloodshot. This was their first meeting, but he had a deep hatred for Yue Lan!
The sawtooth formation rose again, and this time Yue Lan was unable to walk far. He felt that the fierce aura above him made it difficult for him to open his eyes. The cold moon sword flashed, isolating the sawtooth from outside, and two more golden lights came from the front.

“You don’t know how to live or die!” Yue Lan snorted coldly and took out a top-grade square mirror spiritual weapon to block it.

You know, not every early cultivator can compare to the Black-Shoe Taoist!
After stabilizing the four-legged beast in front of him and finding some time, Yue Lan thought to himself that he only needed to casually strike with a few sword flashes, and this ignorant Kang Dabao would be dead for sure! !
However, Crocodile Yuan was much more difficult to deal with than Yue Lan had imagined. Although the Sawtooth Formation could not do anything to the Lengyue Sword, it would be difficult for Yue Lan to be distracted if he wanted to use the Lengyue Sword to suppress all of Crocodile Yuan’s methods.

Moreover, Kang Dabao, who was holding the big banner, was not as weak as Yue Lan had expected. He had an extraordinary physique and was not inferior to the one-horned poisonous pig, which was the last of the four beasts!

That pupil technique had improved so much since Yue Lan first saw it, and it was not easy to defeat it.

If that was all, Yue Lan wouldn’t be afraid of E Yuan and Kang Dabao joining forces. How could this old pervert who dared to covet Chu Yanran’s body only have this little ability? !

But as Ban Chi was entangled by the three beasts and lost the power to control fire, the remaining dozen or so second-level water beasts and Jiang Qing and the other two bypassed the unmanned blue flame and joined the battle.

“Roar!” Ban Chi was even angrier than Yue Lan. Even though he had to endure the three types of mysterious light shot by the Six-eyed Wise Widow, he still pounced out first and tore the first snow-patterned water python that rushed towards him into pieces!
“Clang clang”, Yue Lan pointed at the Lengyue Sword from a distance, and the sword emitted a cold sword energy, which blocked all three fierce flames from Jiang Qing.

“There are some tricks!” Yue Lan couldn’t remember how many times he was surprised today. How old was Jiang Qingnian, and his swordsmanship had improved so much? !
“If he had agreed to become a disciple of Sect Leader Li Yun back then, who knows how talented he would be now!” Yue Lan could only laugh at Jiang Qing’s stupidity and ignorance as he turned down this opportunity to reach great heights.

Although Jiang Qing’s full-strength attack did not achieve any success, Yue Lan and Ban Chi were surrounded by nearly twenty Foundation Establishment warriors, and the battle situation became more intense.

Ban Chi was proud of his noble bloodline, even when he and Yue Lan worshipped the Golden Elixir together. Compared with Yue Lan, their owner who was at the peak of the foundation building stage, the senior cultivators looked up to Ban Chi, a rare dragon descendant.

Now he was besieged by a group of low-blooded beasts, and Banchi was so angry that he could hardly control himself.

In his rage, the Purple Bearded King Tuna and his group of water beasts took advantage of him. As for the loss of the second-level water beast, in the eyes of these “spiritual” monsters, it was also worthless consumables.

With just this little price, the Ban Chi could be covered in wounds. The three beasts, led by the Purple-bearded King Tuna, would naturally be happy to see this happen.

Seeing that his own spirit beast had opened the skull of another second-level green crocodile, Crocodile Yuan spotted the flaw and spurted out a water spear from its mouth, piercing through the right chest of Ban Chi. Yue Lan took advantage of the opportunity to release a burst of sword energy, but it was blocked by Kang and Jiang together, and his effort failed.

Yue Lan finally felt like backing off. At this moment, he heard a gentle sound coming from his side. The golden light and sword energy around him seemed to have turned into a red cloud.

Right in front of him was a gorgeous naked female cultivator, smiling sweetly at him.

“Yanran.”

“No!” Yue Lan suddenly came to his senses. He had almost dodged Kang Dabao’s pupil technique. He was terrified: “Is this the statue of Concubine Ming?! Why is that female cultivator from the Yuan family helping them?!”

“Give me back the treasures in the room!” Yue Lan was furious when he heard the roar of E Yuan again. “Your mother, the things in the room are restricted so that even the public array-breaking beads can’t break them. You came out empty-handed and give them back to your mother!!”
