After the XueLang wolf's body was disassembled by everyone, they immediately went to search for magical treasures.
The body of the XueLang wolf was imbued with countless valuable things, such as four fangs that were comparable to divine weapons and treasures, as well as various organs and bones. If they were used for making elixirs or weapons, they would be a good choice.
But now everyone is injured, and they are in a hurry to find the magical treasures. Therefore, after disassembling the XueLang wolf's body, there was no distribution at the moment.
The energy fluctuations of the magical treasure were particularly clear. Chen Yun and Wu Kejiu and others did not have to search for long before they found the treasure hidden beneath the water layer under a mountain stone.
This was an iron bracelet, although it looked rusty, but the bracelet emanated an ancient, powerful and authoritative aura, as if it was telling of its treasure born from the Daoqi of the original realm.
Beside the iron bracelet, there grew a peculiar plant that seemed to be carved from ice crystals.
Above this plant, there was a small cluster of white "flowers" shaped like cotton, while at the bottom, there was nothing but the stem, without any leaves to be seen.
At this moment, the depths of the ground were dark and gloomy.
Only the illuminating spell released by Ding Xu lit up the underground water flow cave.
Kang Yuanzhong held the iron bracelet in his hand and stood there, lost in thought, seemingly considering the function of the magical treasure.
Chen Yun, Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming and others were crouching in front of the ice crystal plant, with Xu Yang, Gao Chen and others standing behind them.
"This strange flower, I seem to have seen it somewhere before."
Wu Kejiu frowned and kept thinking about it.
Chen Yun sensed the surging spiritual energy coming from the ice crystal plant and guessed that it was a celestial and terrestrial spiritual root with special functions.
"I seem to have seen it somewhere before," said Long Niusan, standing at the back with a puzzled expression. "It's just that I can't remember for a moment."
Wu Kejiu was startled and turned his head, "You have also seen it before?"
Long Niusan nodded, "Yes, it's just that it was too long ago, and I really can't remember where I've seen it."
Wu Kejiu turned his head to ask Gao Chen and Xu Yang and others, "What about you?"
"Never seen it."
"I have never seen such a strange flower."
A group of people opened their mouths and responded, saying that they had never seen it before.
Chen Yun had not seen it either, so he didn't speak up. He just stared at the strange flower with eyes rolling around.
He was contemplating whether, if no one claimed the strange flower later, he should take it for himself.
Just then, Wu Kejiu seemed to remember something. He turned to Long Niusan and said, "Little sister, do you remember thirty years ago, when I went with you to the northernmost cold land in the North, and we encountered a person who specialized in ice and snow magic?"
Long Niusan suddenly came to a realization, "You mean Yu Yan, the Taoist friend?"
Wu Kejiu nodded, "Yes."
As the two of them kept riddling, it drove a group of people beside them crazy.
Xu Yang couldn't help but say, "What is this strange flower? You two should tell us about it."
Wu Kejiu smiled and said, "I was just about to say it, but you're hurrying me."
Hearing this, Chen Yun perked up his ears, knowing that Wu Kejiu was going to impart knowledge.
As expected, Wu Kejiu paused for a moment before continuing, "Thirty years ago, I and Long Niusan went to an extremely cold place to gather the essence of dark ice. Along the way, we encountered a Taoist named Yu Yan Qing. She had only reached the late intermediate level of a sorcerer. During that time, I and Long Niusan successfully found the essence of dark ice, and so did Taoist Yu Yan. The thing she found was exactly this strange flower that we are seeing now."
Chen Yun and the others listened carefully.
Wu Kejiu said, "She told us that this strange flower was called the supreme cold Songshan Qunxu because of its appearance similar to goat whiskers. It is an extremely special celestial and terrestrial spiritual root. If a practitioner who specializes in ice and snow magic takes it, they can instantly understand the mystery of ice and snow and cast incredible ice and snow spells with incomprehensible power."
Ding Xu pursed his lips and said with some skepticism, "Really or not?"
"It's true," Long Niusan said, her face looking somewhat serious. "At the time, we encountered a giant Leviathan spirit beast. Its strength was comparable to that of a high-level sorcerer. My master and I at the time thought we would die in the northernmost cold land, but in the most desperate situation, Taoist Yu Yan Qing who had taken the Extreme Cold Songshan Qunxu stepped forward. She simply blew a breath of spiritual energy and instantly froze the Leviathan. Although Taoist Yu Yan Qing said it could only freeze it for a short while, we managed to escape successfully."
"What?"
"Just by blowing a breath of spiritual energy, she froze the Leviathan?"
"Sigh, if that's the case, this extreme cold Songshan Qunxu seems to be an invaluable treasure."
The group burst into a tumult.
Chen Yun was also thinking the same thing. To an average sorcerer, taking this kind of celestial and terrestrial spiritual root could allow him to freeze a spirit beast comparable to a high-level sorcerer in one breath. This was no longer a matter of being incredible or incredible, but something terrifying.
Normally, without any special artifacts or magical treasures to assist, it would be very difficult for a cultivator to cross realms and kill an enemy.
Chen Yun not only practiced the internal cultivation method of the dantian, but also obtained various cultivation methods from Zhang Tian, Erlang Shen, and Xie Ziran. In addition to having a wind and thunder body, he barely managed to cross realms and defeat Yin Wuji at a level of less than two-thirds.
You must know that at the time, Yin Wuji had first fought fiercely and then been ambushed by my Zhongkui seal, leaving his strength at less than one-third of his peak period.
If Yin Wuji were in his prime, not only would the past version of myself have no chance to win, but even now, Chen Yun would not have a guarantee of winning without using life-saving divine energy or artifacts.
That Taoist friend named Yuyan Qing, who had only reached the late intermediate level of a sorcerer, managed to freeze a spirit beast comparable to a high-level sorcerer with her cultivation level?
This was simply terrifying!
As Chen Yun secretly marveled at the wonder of the extreme cold Songshan Qunxu,
Wu Kejiu suddenly opened his mouth again and said, "This strange flower has another function."
Ding Xu asked curiously, "What is its function?"
Wu Kejiu glanced at the faces of several female cultivators, including Zhang Ling and Long Niusan, with a half-smile on his lips and said, "After taking it, not only can one recover youth, but according to Taoist Yu Yan Qing's words, one's appearance will remain at the age of 18 throughout their life. Even when the physical body decays, the appearance will not change."
"Ah?" Zhang Ling suddenly widened her eyes.
Another female cultivator, looking about forty to fifty years old, couldn't help but inhale sharply and said, "It... can it keep one forever young?"
The female cultivators all had sparkling eyes, and their gaze at the Extreme Cold Songshan Qunxu became incredibly greedy.
For most women, eternal youth is an irresistible temptation.
Now, hearing that there is a celestial and terrestrial spiritual root that can keep youth forever right in front of them, the group of female cultivators naturally became attracted.
Not just them, even Chen Yun was somewhat tempted, not because he was attracted to the eternal youth effect of the strange flower, but because he was envious of its powerful freezing ability.
After all, Chen Yun was uncertain about Kang Yuan's treasure and whether he had the opportunity to obtain ginseng from him.
If he couldn't get ginseng, it seemed that getting such an odd flower was a good choice instead.
Of course, if Kang Yuan is willing to offer ginseng, Chen Yun would still choose ginseng without hesitation.
He felt that with his current "achievements," he should be able to obtain this strange flower without a problem, so his heart's desire was understandable.
But he was not sure whether there were any side effects of taking such a strange flower.
Therefore, Chen Yun actively turned his head and asked, "Master Wu, is there anything special I need to pay attention to when taking the extreme cold Songshan Qunxu?"
The others also looked over at Wu Kejiu at once.
"Yes," Wu Kejiu nodded, "It can only be taken by cultivators who practice ice and snow magic, or after taking this strange flower, you can only use ice and snow spells. Because of its powerful extreme cold spiritual energy, it will transform any 'Qi' within your body into extreme cold spiritual energy. So, although this strange flower has powerful effects, most people wouldn't dare to take it."
"Based on this, the value seems a bit low."
"Hmm, my master specializes in fire magic, and if he takes this strange flower, there is a high possibility of conflict."
"This kind of treasure seems rather useful but not very valuable."
A group of people couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
Chen Yun also thought so. He cultivated the dantian and finally grasped some powerful spells and techniques, but he didn't want to be unable to use them in the future. It seemed that this strange flower was not worth his choice.
As they were talking, Kang Yuan, who had been studying the treasure for a long time without speaking, suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
Chen Yun and the others quickly turned to look.
Seeing Kang Yuan holding a wrought-iron bracelet in his hand, from which streams of cold air were continuously emanating.
These cold gases, upon touching the underground water, immediately froze it all.
In an instant, the underground river that was dozens of meters wide suddenly became covered with a thick layer of ice.
The temperature dropped sharply in an instant.
Wu Kejiu was startled and immediately shouted loudly, "Master Kang, quickly control the power of your treasure! Otherwise, if we keep going like this, all of us will be frozen to death by the powerful freezing energy of the treasure!"
Kang Yuan said with a sad expression, "I can't stop it, I don't know what happened and excited the power of the treasure just now. Now I can't stop it."
Chen Yun quickly stood up and extended his hand, saying, "Give me the treasure."
Kang Yuan hurriedly handed the iron bracelet to Chen Yun, with the side that was not emitting cold air facing him.
After receiving the iron bracelet, Chen Yun injected true qi while reciting a spell, "The Supreme Old Man, act quickly!"
Alright, it's useless.
The group saw that the iron bracelet was still emitting cold air, and several of them nearly fainted. When they saw Chen Yun standing up, they thought he could control the treasure, only to find out that after reciting the spell, nothing happened.
Chen Yun was calm and continued to try other spells, "Act quickly and according to the law!"
Still no effect.
The crowd: "..."
They thought in their hearts, "If you can't do it, why did you stand up and act like a big wolf in sheep's clothing?"
While making mental comments, the expressions on everyone's faces became tense. Within such a short period of time, the cold air gushing out of the iron bracelet had already frozen the entire mountain wall in the cave, and if it continued for a while longer, this cave might be filled with ice accumulation. At that point, they might also be frozen solid.
There are only two possibilities now.
The first option is to abandon this treasure and leave immediately.
The second option is that if everyone stays here, we will all be frozen into ice.
At this moment, when everyone was feeling anxious,
Chen Yun then recited, "Quick!"
Suddenly, the cold air gushing out of the iron bracelet increased dramatically, causing everyone to shiver uncontrollably in an instant. Even though many people used qi to resist, they still couldn't resist the biting cold.
The rock layer on the wall that was directly hit by the cold air was "decomposed" into tiny ice crystals!
"Bad!"
"The treasure is out of control!"
"Everyone, run quickly!"
Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming were shocked, and they wanted to run away immediately.
Including Kang Yuan, this was the case.
But, the situation changed dramatically the next second.
Chen Yun shouted loudly, "Command!"
The iron bracelet suddenly stopped emitting cold air!
The group of people who were about to flee were taken aback and looked towards Chen Yun in confusion and disbelief.
Chen Yun seems to have understood something, nods slightly, and then holds the iron bracelet and recites a spell, "Seize!"
A magical scene was born!
The iron bracelet emitted a beam of light that was like sunlight. Wherever this light shone, the ice layer melted instantly and returned to its original form, including the rock wall that had been frozen into tiny ice crystals.
Kang Yuan was stunned, "Chen Sir, what's going on?"
Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and others also looked at him with doubtful looks.
Chen Yun smiled and said, "I was trying some spells from the Taoist school to control this treasure and its artifacts just now. Well, I think I've figured out its function. Chanting 'Quick' activates it and releases a terrifying cold air that can freeze everything instantly. As for how powerful it is, I haven't tested it. You can try it yourself, Master Kang. Chanting 'Command' stops it, and chanting 'Seize' cancels the effects created by the artifact previously."
"So it turns out like that."
"Fortunately, Mr. Chen was here today."
"Hmm, otherwise we would have never known how to use this treasure."
"How could we possibly use it? If it weren't for Mr. Chen being here today, we might have been frozen to ice!"
The group of people recall the scene just now and all have lingering fear.
Kang Yuan was different from the others. Upon hearing the specific method of controlling this treasure, his face lit up with joy. He reached out to take the treasure from Chen Yun while saying in a hurry, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for helping me understand how to control this treasure. After we leave here, I'll give you the ginseng."
The group of people heard Kang Yuan offer to give Chen Yun the ginseng, and one by one, they revealed surprised expressions while also feeling it was only right.
Based on the current strength of the treasure, its value should not be lower than that of ginseng. Chen Yun has contributed greatly today. Without him, everyone might have been killed by the evil magician Lin. It's even more unlikely that they could obtain the treasure. Most importantly, Chen Yun has helped Kang Yuan figure out how to use this treasure finally, so it's only right for him to receive ginseng as a reward.
Although surprised, no one felt that it was inappropriate for Chen Yun to receive ginseng from Kang Yuan.
Chen Yun didn't know what the others were thinking. At first, he was still wondering if Kang Yuan would bring out ginseng, but he didn't expect to help him understand the function of the treasure. As a result, Kang Yun immediately promised to give him ginseng when they left here!
He couldn't help but feel secretly delighted inside, finally getting what he wanted!
