Chapter 381: Subjugating the Ice Flame Butterfly Jade Book Elder
Although this old man is a casual cultivator from Taihu Lake, his business is all about diverting trouble.
According to him.
He discovered this nest of Ice Flame Butterflies in an ice crevice, and he became evil-minded. He used a special secret method to lure these strange insects to attack the monks who were practicing on the ice field.
The target is mostly a single person, some succeed and some fail. If they find that things are impossible to do, they will take out the Ice Phoenix inheritance order to paralyze the opponent and take the opportunity to escape.
Wait until the old man has finished explaining everything.
Then he saw Wang Yu's eyes full of pity, and his heart skipped a beat, but he heard him say.
"I thought Taihu Lake was a blessed land for cultivators, but now it seems that with your level of cultivation, you also need to do such high-risk things?"
It’s not that he looks down on those who made their fortune through robbery.
This is how this business is, high risk and high reward. Once you succeed, you can get the other party's entire fortune. He has done this many times. The problem is that the old man is already in the Nascent Soul stage, but he is still willing to take risks.
There is no other way except addiction.
Forced by the environment!
The higher the level of cultivation, the more people will cherish their lives. The will to bravely enter secret realms, challenge monsters, and fight across borders to make progress in youth will become weaker and weaker.
It’s not that his desire to pursue the Tao has weakened, but that he prefers to use conservative methods to earn resources for cultivation and will not easily put himself in danger again.
The old man is a Nascent Soul cultivator after all.
No matter whether Chi Yuan goes to one of the Five Demonic Sects or any of the Chamber of Commerce organizations such as Jin Man Lou and Tian Bao Pavilion, he is guaranteed to be in a high position. Although he cannot guarantee any chance or miraculous medicine, his basic cultivation needs can still be met.
Staying long enough proves loyalty.
There is also an opportunity to go further. This is the conservative development route generally chosen by monks at a high level. They have a long lifespan and do not care about gains and losses from day to day.
The old man's answer also proves this point.
He smiled bitterly.
“There are too many cultivators in Taihu Lake, and the top-grade spirit stones are a controlled resource. Cultivators are not allowed to trade privately. Those fourth-level spirit veins are occupied by families everywhere.
"They are in collusion with each other and are extremely xenophobic. Some families have detailed regulations on the time their children can practice in the spirit veins every day."
The spiritual realm of Taihu Lake is said to have a population of over 10 billion.
Just thinking about how many cultivators can be born with this base number makes one's scalp tingle. On the other hand, in the Chiyuan Demon Realm, low- and mid-level resources are almost overflowing.
In this case, does he have to thank the people who kidnapped him to Chiyuan?
My mind is spinning.
Considering that even Nascent Souls have the ability to move, he was not absolutely sure that he could take down the opponent, and he did not want to do it either. It would be best if he could resolve it through dialogue.
And he was a little curious about the situation of the high-level monks in Taihu Lake: "So you are here on this ice field, killing people and taking away resources?"
“That was also forced by them.”
Speaking of this, the old man's emotions fluctuated greatly.
“There is simply no living space for independent cultivators in Taihu Lake. I once got an opportunity in the Qilin Secret Realm, which recorded a hidden paradise.
“When I found it, it turned out to be occupied by people from the Lieyang Sect. Even if I used the owner’s token of the blessed land to drive them away, it would only satisfy me temporarily…”
Needless to say, the result was that they were suppressed by the people of Lieyang Sect and even driven away, and their master token was taken away.
Hidden paradises can be found.
From this perspective, Taihu has already reached the limit in the development of its own territory. If it does not expand its territory, then the only option is civil war to consume the overly large group of monks.
Especially with the pressure from the Xutian Sword Sect above his head.
The maintenance of order relies on absolute violence, but monks are a group of people who are detached from the mundane world and consider themselves extraordinary.
Not satisfied? Then fight!
It seems.
The war between Taihu and Chiyuan regions may not be caused by just a few strategies of sowing discord, but because Taihu Lake’s carrying capacity has reached its limit.
We have entered a stage where we have to fight.
This was bound to happen. From the old man's words, Wang Yu learned more about Taihu Lake.
From the overall situation.
I always feel that the Taihu cultivation world is stronger than the Chiyuan cultivation world. The number of people is about ten times greater. With the absolute gap in numbers, how will the war turn out?
But this is also a carnival for the demon monks.
Various blood sacrifices and soul sacrifices will not stop, and magical treasures such as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner will become popular, giving rise to many giants of the magic world.
Whether it is a mule or a horse depends on this time.
Understand the situation of Taihu Lake clearly.
Wang Yu had no intention of fighting with the old man and made a request that the other party could accept.
"Compensate with 50 top-grade spirit stones, and the matter will be settled."
As for the matter of the Ice Phoenix inheritance order, it was most likely the second trap set by the old man, so Wang Yu did not even ask about it and only asked for the top-grade spirit stones.
"Fifty pieces? That's enough to buy a top-grade Nascent Soul magical weapon. Fellow Daoist, you are too greedy."
Top-grade spirit stones are rarely traded.
Generally, about ten of them can form a cycle. As long as you rely on a fourth-level spiritual vein, you can bury the emptied top-grade spiritual stones in the spiritual vein.
In ten years, it will be filled with essence and spiritual energy again.
therefore.
Theoretically, to satisfy the daily cultivation of an early Nascent Soul cultivator, only ten top-grade spirit stones and a fourth-tier spirit vein are needed. Seeing the other party's intense reaction.
Wang Yu was speechless.
"How about you try to lower the price?"
He also saw that the old man had succeeded several times and might have a lot of top-grade spirit stones in his hands, so he wanted to make the best use of his power and bite off a piece of fat meat.
Hearing this, the old man was very embarrassed.
He didn't want to fight with Wang Yu either. After taking the initiative to offend him, it was only right for him to pay the price for it. After thinking for a moment.
"Ten. I can only give you ten..."
The words have not yet fallen.
Wang Yu, who had been so easy to talk to just now, was now wrapped in blood mist, and the blood-red light from his eyes swept across his face.
It made him feel as if he was in a sea of blood and corpses, and he was terrified.
"How many?"
"Twelve! I still have three top-grade spirit stones that have been sucked out. I will give them to you as compensation, okay?"
In this way, the strange phenomenon disappeared instantly.
As if nothing had happened, Wang Yu also reached out to ask for it. If he had the means to block and move the weapon, he would not be as easy to deal with as he is now.
The top-grade spirit stone looks like a prismatic star stone.
The light is overflowing and it is extraordinary to see.
The pure spiritual energy contained in it is enough to make his magical powers stir just by taking a whiff of it.
"——Goodbye!"
After paying the compensation with a painful heart, the old man fled from the top of Yinshuang Mountain without looking back. Wang Yu watched him silently. Although he felt regretful, it was definitely not the time to create trouble.
Next.
Wang Yu took out ten pairs of ice flame butterflies from the human bag. Both the Five Poisons Sutra and the Gu Dun Dan Jue had inherited the method of enslavement.
There are countless secret techniques for cultivation.
I didn't need it before, but I did try it out. Now that I have the Ice Flame Butterfly, I can train a batch of it and use it as a symbolic means of my identity as the Ice Demon Boy.
To distinguish the difference from the ontology.
As for whether or not to use the Immaculate Jade Toad on the Ice Flame Butterfly, it requires careful consideration. In addition to being immune to all poisons, the Jade Toad can also enhance the bloodline of the strange insect.
Among all poisonous insect creations, they are all of top quality.
This may also be the reason why the Immaculate Jade Toad has not laid eggs yet. In addition, the cost of keeping it is low, and it can be kept alive by feeding it some poison on a daily basis.
So it was not refined hastily.
The Ice Flame Butterfly is an ancient strange insect that ranks higher than the Immaculate Jade Toad. Whether it can have any effect remains to be seen!
Simply branding the spiritual mark. Using the method of controlling the spirit seal, leaving seeds, the initial taming was completed, but it could only stop them from attacking Wang Yu. To truly tame and drive them, they had to start from the egg form.
He picked out several ice-attribute treasures from the Haixin Ring.
Put them all into the human bag and let Xueyu look after them inside. If possible, it would be best to use the fox tribe's charm technique to make the Ice Flame Butterfly aroused.
Of course, that's what it says.
Whether Xueyu can do it is another matter.
More than half a month later, Wang Yu, who was accidentally troubled by this matter for some time, was quite satisfied with the effect of the fox clan's charm. The paired Ice Flame Butterflies all died after laying eggs.
On average, one insect lays hundreds of eggs.
Ten pairs can yield more than a thousand insects, and breeding a few more times will be enough. However, cultivating these little insects does consume resources, so just raise them slowly.
You can feed the small insects that have not yet emerged from their cocoons with ice cubes.
It seems easy to feed on, but in fact what it really feeds on is the cold air. The most abundant thing in the endless ice field is the ancient permafrost. If you extract a little from it and use it as food, it will keep itself very alive.
No wonder the almost extinct Ice Flame Butterfly can be found here.
It's not as easy to raise them outside as it is here.
Next.
After leaving Silver Frost Mountain, Wang Yu headed towards the Frozen Demon Sealed Place according to the route map. He thought this would be a solitary journey of transformation.
As a result, I met an acquaintance again.
This acquaintance was none other than Elder Yu Shu.
This route is a safety line passed down from Hanxue Peak. It rarely encounters disasters such as ice storms and ice beasts, so it is relatively safe.
He was both surprised and surprised to meet Elder Yu Shu.
Wasn't it Wang Yu himself who prompted him to come to the ice field? ! !
For the Blood Infant Fruit, Song Yun has a 90% chance of dying in the chaos in the Blood Demon Sea, and this... is actually for Elder Yu Shu.
When an egg hits a stone, the outcome can only be described as tragic.
After the Bleeding Abyss.
At that time, Wang Yu told Yu Shu the information, and then he disappeared, and there has been no further news since.
Now it seems that they must have come directly to the endless ice field.
--burn one's boats!
If Elder Yu Shu wants to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, freezing demonic energy is also an indispensable step. Meeting him on the same route here can only mean that the other party is unlucky.
I started out so early so many years ago, but I still haven’t reached my destination.
I'm afraid I'll encounter a lot of things on the road.
While thinking, Wang Yu slowly approached and greeted him in advance.
"Where are you going, fellow Taoist?"
The snow and wind were very strong at this time, and there was a howling cold wind between the sky and the earth. The visibility was really low, and the clear voice that suddenly sounded was really ear-catching.
Elder Yu Shu turned around and saw a boy in fluttering clothes.
I almost thought it was an illusion.
He rubbed his eyes and then smiled awkwardly.
"My name is Yushu, I don't know what your name is."
When you are out, your identity is given by yourself. It is not determined by age, but only by your cultivation.
At first glance, he is just a five-year-old child.
But being able to move freely in this snowy wind that contains extremely cold power, his cultivation level would not be lower than his, and his attitude when greeting others would be much more casual than at home.
He is on this trip to break through the realm and will not think about other things.
Coincidentally, Wang Yu thought so too.
He even hoped that Elder Yu Shu would succeed in breaking through, so that he would have an extra natural ally on Hanxue Peak, and he would have extra Infant Transformation Pills in his hand.
It's impossible to give it away for free. If it's a trade, the other party can't come up with any chips that would make him interested.
Moreover, the other party has been trapped in this realm for decades, and what he lacks is the spiritual object to break through the realm. It is impossible for him to have it as soon as his grandson dies, so it is very likely that he wants to break through directly.
If you fail, you will die. There is no other outcome.
Song Yun’s death helped him strengthen his determination to pursue Taoism.
As for Wang Yu's approach at this time, it was mainly to inquire about the recent changes in the Endless Ice Field. The other party arrived several decades earlier than him, but his progress was so slow. There must be a reason.
The old and the young looked at each other, and Wang Yu was the first to laugh.
"Outsiders call me the Ice Demon, and you can call me that, too."
Hear the words.
Yu Shu nodded slowly.
"Fellow Daoist Ice Demon, I guess you are also a cultivator who practices the Way of Ice. Do you often move around in this ice field?"
Wang Yu had no hostility towards Yu Shu, but that didn't mean Yu Shu wasn't wary of him, so he went straight to the point.
“No need to test me, I am not a creature of the Ice Clan.
"Fellow Daoist Yushu, are you heading towards the Ancient Demon Sealed Land? Did you encounter any trouble on the way? The Ice Clan?"
Wang Yu observed the changes in Elder Yu Shu's facial expressions.
Three questions were raised in a row.
You know what, I did run into some trouble.
Elder Yu Shu's expression also changed. He didn't expect that this ice demon who suddenly appeared knew so many secrets. He had never heard that Chi Yuan had any outstanding ice master rising up.
Is that some old monster? A virgin... I've never seen one before.
Qiongsou still had no impression of it in his mind.
He then answered with a wry smile.
"It seems that you have guessed it. If so, I shouldn't hide it."
Yu Shu pointed to the darkness ahead and said.
“There is a sleeping giant beast, its entire body looks like ice crystals, similar to an elephant and a tiger. It should be a creature of the ice clan, and its strength is very strong.
"It's sleeping in a coiled position, blocking the passage. I've also been blocked by it repeatedly, and I'm trying to find a way to bypass it."
As for why not flying.
Just look at the thick black clouds in the sky and you will know that the blizzards that blow all year round are getting more and more terrifying as you go higher. Even some Nascent Soul cultivators cannot withstand the extreme cold.
This is the case when they have practiced ice techniques and have very strong resistance.
As for escaping underground.
The frozen soil of the icy field will teach you how to behave. Not to mention how hard it is, the extreme cold power hidden in the frozen soil can also freeze a monk into an ice stick.
Otherwise, why is it said that the Endless Ice Field is a dangerous place that even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot cross? It is restricted in almost every place.
Yu Shu's ideas are simple and unpretentious.
Just bypass this obstacle. Judging from the time he left the sect, he should not be aware of the recent changes and the news that the war is about to begin.
Only then did he take a slow detour.
But this one obstacle alone cannot delay the process for decades.
Wang Yu immediately frowned and asked.
"Did you encounter similar obstacles on the road you have walked before?"
"There are some, but they are harmless. It is better to spend a little more time than to risk your life to force your way across."
This is the truth, but it is obviously wrong.
Why does it seem like someone arranged it?
Could the Nine Evil Sword Lord guess that he was about to condense his infant? Impossible! The cultivation level he had revealed had always been the late stage of Jindan, which was about the seventh level.
It is indeed his true realm.
It’s just that the progress has been a bit fast recently, it’s impossible to predict.
"So...Ice Tribe?"
