Time flies, and a month has sneaked away quietly.
In this month, Chen Yun, Wu Kejiu and others changed the route. They changed from the normal way to the previous monthly spring to take the ice fire road.
Perhaps it is because the Yueyue Cave Heaven is too wide, and during this month, Chen Yun, Wu Kejiu and others did not encounter any other cultivators.
After all, from the place where they just came to Yueyue Spring, it's several million li. The total number of people who have entered is only more than ten thousand. It's natural that the probability of encountering someone is not high.
In this month, with the help of the Refining Essences into Qi Soup, Chen Yun's cultivation has reached the late stage of a five-star wizard, just one step away from breaking through to a four-star wizard, truly entering the middle stage of a medium-level wizard.
In addition, the number of heaven and earth spirit roots around the Ice and Fire Path is indeed much more.
Because Chen Yun can get an extra two percent, in this month, he hasn't done anything but has harvested hundreds of heaven and earth spirit roots.
He was even more surprised to obtain a plant of "Ice-Fire Dragon Gall Bladder Herb," which is required for the elixir of refining Qi into Spirit.
Of course, they also encountered some trouble during this period.
For example, on the third day after entering the Ice-Fire Path, everyone encountered a bird spirit beast equivalent to the late stage of an upper-grade wizard.
This bird spirit beast, in terms of strength, was stronger than any cultivator in Chen Yun's group. However, with everyone's cooperation, they managed to kill it without much danger.
Chen Yun also truly saw the power of the team in that fight.
At that time, Wu Kejiu led a group of cultivators with weaker cultivation bases. It didn't take much effort from him. He just kept disturbing and consuming the bird spirit beast's power, which finally consumed its strength and allowed them to kill it.
In summary, everything went smoothly.
Just that today, Chen Yun, Wu Kejiu and the other 40 plus cultivators briefly stagnated.
They encountered a spirit beast equivalent to the late stage of an upper-grade wizard.
Of course, the Ice-Fire Path, although named as "Path," is actually very vast.
Chen Yun and the others do not necessarily need to obtain any heaven and earth spirit roots, so they can find a way to go around and avoid the conflict with that spirit beast.
But they still decided to fight back against the spirit beast that looked a bit like a white wolf.
The main reason was that Chen Yun and Wu Kejiu and the others discovered that the spirit beast seemed to be guarding some unimaginable treasure.
To date, Chen Yun has only obtained a "Sealing Immortal Flag" as a treasure. However, it is precisely that treasure that allows him to disregard the difference in cultivation levels and easily subdue Ghost Captains.
Therefore, he knows how wonderful the treasure is.
Not only does he know, but Wu Kejiu, Longnu Sanjiu, Kang Yuan, and others all know it as well.
Of course, everyone wants to kill that white wolf spirit beast and obtain that treasure.
As for how to distribute the treasure after obtaining it, everyone had already agreed in advance. It was just a matter of who contributed the most and had the first choice. Then, they would compensate everyone with items of equal value.
Of course, if the person who contributed the most does not want the treasure, it can be converted into "merit," and they can receive compensation of relative value from those who want the treasure.
Ice-Fire Path.
On one side, it burns with blazing fire.
On the other side, it is covered with thick ice.
In front of the snowy plain, there stands a towering mountain that reaches into the clouds.
Chen Yun and Wu Kejiu and the others had just retreated from there.
They had a brief encounter with the white wolf in their hasty retreat.
Due to the lack of preparation, Ding Xu accidentally received a blow and suffered serious injuries.
Fortunately, Ding Xu has taken the medicinal treatment now and his wounds are healing.
Wu Kejiu glanced at the snowy peak, "From our brief encounter with the white wolf just now, we can judge that its strength is about equivalent to the late stage of an upper-grade wizard. If we fought one-on-one, neither I, nor Qin Emperor, nor Kang Emperor would be a match for it. Unless Mr. Chen uses a secret method again, it's unlikely that we can obtain the treasure sealed in the mountains. Therefore, we need to cooperate."
Kang Yuan had his hands behind his back, "Hmm, cooperation is definitely a must. Here, I want to ask a question. Although we still don't know what kind of treasure is sealed in the snowy peak, it can be basically determined that it is a treasure. Is there anyone who wants it? It's important to note in advance that if you want this treasure, you must act as the main force in this cooperation. So please weigh your own weight before making any rash statements."
The entire group fell into silence.
In terms of overall strength, only Wu Kejiu, Kang Yuan, and Chen Yun among the team might be capable of acting as the main attacker.
Qin Ming, although also an upper-grade wizard, used the secret method and was in a weakened state. Even with Chen Yun's transmission of the absorption of Qi art, he had recovered three times his strength in advance, it was still impossible for him to act as the main attacker.
Therefore, everyone instinctively looked at Chen Yun, Wu Kejiu, and Kang Yuan, wanting to hear who among them wanted the treasure.
Chen Yun actually wanted the treasure very much, but he knew that the spirit beast they were about to face was very powerful. If he acted as the main attacker, the cost might be very high, and there might even be a risk of losing his life without using the life-saving Qi.
After thinking for a moment on both sides, Chen Yun voluntarily stated, "I won't compete for the treasure this time. You can decide how to handle it."
Upon hearing this, Kang Yuan relaxed and looked at Wu Kejiu again.
"Every treasure I want is the Silver Dragon Spear from the side of Yueyue Spring," Wu Kejiu said directly. "So I won't argue either. Whoever wants it, just say so, and we will definitely give our all to help obtain it."
Upon hearing Wu Kejiu's words, Kang Yuan was overjoyed and stepped forward one step, "I want it."
Longnu Sanjiu, Ding Xu, and Xu Yang and others did not feel surprised when they saw this situation.
Wu Kejiu said, "Alright, since Master Kang wants this treasure, he will be the main attacker. We will just cooperate with you."
"Okay," Kang Yuan said, with a smile directed at Chen Yun, "Master Chen, perhaps you will need to cast a large array after we defeat that white wolf. Otherwise, our current strength may not be enough to overcome the spirit beast."
Saying this, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly added, "If Master Chen is willing to help set up the large array, he will definitely be one of the top contributors. Once we obtain the treasure, I will definitely give you the maximum compensation possible."
Chen Yun didn't take it too seriously, after all, everyone had agreed to cooperate and help each other before entering.
Indeed, everyone has been doing so since they entered.
Therefore, he is definitely willing to help.
"Alright," Chen Yun agreed, "I will set up the Azure Dragon and Red Blood Great Array to lend a hand to Master Kang."
"We will also do our best."
"Master Kang, please don't worry."
Xu Yang, Gao Chen, and others solemnly promised.
Kang Yuan thanked everyone wholeheartedly.
Subsequently, the group began to formulate a battle plan.
After about half a month, everyone had decided on how to deal with the formidable white wolf spirit beast.
The crowd was about to move out.
Suddenly, Wu Kejiu blinked and said, "Master Kang, if I and Master Chen contribute more force than you do this time, will you give up the 'Imperial Grass' that you might happen to get as compensation?"
Imperial Grass?
What is it?
Chen Yun had never heard of it before and couldn't help but look at Kang Yuan's face unconsciously.
Unexpectedly, Kang Yuan had not yet replied when Gao Chen smiled and said, "Wu Kejiu, asking Master Kang to hand over the Imperial Grass is too much. That Imperial Grass was obtained by Master Kang with great difficulty during his last trip to the Tianyu Lake Dao Nine-Death Nine-Heavenly Holes. If Master Kang ever reaches the brink of breaking through the true man stage in the future, as long as he consumes that Imperial Grass, he won't have to worry about failure. Such precious heaven and earth spirit roots are not inferior in value to treasures, right? If I were Master Kang, I'm afraid I would be unwilling to hand it over."
Xu Yang nodded in agreement and said, "The Imperial Grass has a powerful effect on stabilizing the spirit, qi, and essence. It is one of the best spirit roots for breaking through to the True Man stage. Although treasures are good, they are external objects after all. How can they be compared to the Imperial Grass?"
Chen Yun listened with a stir in his heart. According to everyone's meaning, the Imperial Grass's function is somewhat like "Promotion Pill," which can ensure that people will not fail when sprinting towards the True Man stage.
Then, the value of the Imperial Grass is indeed high.
So high that it could make countless cultivators at the sect master level to be passionately interested, even to the point of disregarding everything.
Although Chen Yun is currently a late fifth-grade wizard, still far from the sect master level, he would definitely be eager to obtain such a treasure as "Imperial Grass."
This can be said, if the "Sealing Immortal Flag" and "Imperial Grass" of this level of treasure let him choose, Chen Yun will probably choose the latter.
Why?
Take Wang Laozhi as an example, Chen Yun knows that the other has long since cultivated to the sect master level, but over the years, there has been no sign of him breaking through to the True Man stage. In essence, it is still a lack of confidence in "passing the three tests."
You know that breaking through the "three gates" of the inner core is an extremely dangerous thing.
If not careful, there is a high possibility that all the bitter cultivation will be in vain and turn to dust.
Just imagine, if one's cultivation is lost, even if there are many treasures, what good will they do?
And the "Imperial Grass" can ensure that people will definitely or likely break through successfully.
The value of this thing is sky-high.
Chen Yun had a little eye-candy for the "Imperial Grass," thinking that if he could obtain it, he would basically have ensured success in cultivating a golden core when sprinting to the sect master level in the future.
As for whether he can cultivate to the sect master level, he is not worried at all.
If one doesn't manage to cultivate to the sect master level even with the magical prescription of "The Great Heavenly Pool of Profoundness," then he can only be considered a waste among the wastes.
However, Chen Yun, like everyone else, believes that Kang Yuan would not hand out such precious heaven and earth spirit roots, so even though he is very tempted, he does not have much expectation.
However, what surprised Chen Yun, or everyone in the group, was that after a moment of thought, Kang Yuan answered cleanly and decisively, "If the treasure obtained is indeed very precious, then offering the Imperial Grass as compensation would not be out of the question."
"What?"
"Is Master Kang really willing to hand over the Imperial Grass?"
"Wow, even if it's just a possibility, as long as we put in our all, there is still a chance to obtain it!"
The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes turned very greedy.
Even without considering these people, Chen Yun's heart could not help but pound heavily just by hearing that Kang Yuan might hand over the Imperial Grass.
Is it possible to offer such a precious treasure as compensation?
That guy will have to put in extra effort later, to see if there's a chance to obtain it.
Chen Yun made up his mind in secret.
