The Arctic ice sea, which used to be lonely and peaceful in the past, is now bustling with activity. Powerful mana auras are coming and going one after another. They are exploring this ice and snow world attentively, keeping a certain distance from each other, but frictions and conflicts often occur.
Most of the monks currently active in the ice and snow fields are local aborigines or belong to forces close to the Arctic ice sea.
Normally, people would look up but not look down, and many of them have old grudges. Now everyone is coming together for Kunpeng's secret treasure. With interests at stake, past conflicts are more likely to break out.
They were unable to determine where exactly the entrance to Kunpeng's secret treasure was located in the Arctic ice sea, but everyone subconsciously headed towards the center of the ice sea.
An old man with slovenly clothes and a rather slovenly look stepped out of the void, kept calculating with his fingers, and murmured: "I'm afraid, it's not in the center, it should be in this area, but this is the North Pole.
The area of the ice sea is so huge that even I can't find the specific location."
He calculated for a moment, scratched his head in distress, waved his sleeves, and a dozen people fell to the ground.
These people have high or low levels of cultivation. The high ones are in the golden elixir stage, and the low ones are in the qi training stage.
The monk in the Qi-training stage fell on the glacier and was suddenly shivering from the cold. He quickly held up a piece of talisman, and the mellow mana wave spread out, and he felt warm again.
Several monks in the foundation building stage also offered talismans to resist the cold. Even the monks in the golden elixir stage were no exception. With their own magic power, they could actually withstand the extreme cold of the ice sea, but they would lose a lot of magic power.
After a long time, the magic power was exhausted, and they would eventually freeze to death on the ice field, so they all sacrificed talismans to ward off the cold, preserving the magic power, so that they would have enough confidence to deal with danger or battle.
These monks saluted the sloppy old man one after another: "Master!" It turned out that regardless of their level of cultivation, they were all the old man's disciples.
This old man's name is Patriarch Hetu, and he is a casual cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. He is proficient in formations, and he traveled south of the Ice Sea with his disciples. He accidentally heard the news about Kunpeng's secret treasure, so he came to try his luck.
Kunpeng's secret was hidden under ten thousand years of black ice, and its location is difficult to determine, but the secret itself was transformed by Kunpeng's last strength before his death. It was used to preserve his own bones, and the changes in power were a complex and unique process.
of magic circle.
The ancestor of Hetu is proficient in the art of formations and has a unique understanding of the complex changes of formations. He has seen countless formations. After arriving at the Arctic Ice Sea, he could carefully feel the flow of spiritual energy under the glacier.
The young master also figured out some clues.
But he didn't have any conclusive clues, and it was impossible to find the exact location of Kunpeng's secret cache with his bare hands.
However, the old man has a good attitude and is not in a hurry. He just wants to lead his disciples to practice more.
So he released all his disciples and said: "Although Kunpeng's secret treasure is good. I am lucky to get it and lose my life. You don't have to be too persistent. You should regard it as an exercise for yourself. You will become your teacher in the past."
Use what I teach you, experience it on the spot, and study it carefully."
"Perhaps one of you will have the opportunity to find out where the secret is?"
All his disciples answered one after another: "Yes. Master."
A group of people immediately began to think about it, carefully sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy under the glacier and in the air.
After Patriarch Hetu sent his disciples out, he himself was not idle and continued to study the fluctuations of spiritual energy. At the same time, he also secretly paid attention to the surrounding movements to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
Although his cultivation level was high, he did not use his magic power to protect his disciples from the cold. As a result, these disciples would not be able to sense the flow of spiritual energy in the surrounding environment without the obstruction of his magic power.
Among the crowd, a monk in the Qi-training stage shivered. After all, his cultivation level was low. Although he had a talisman to expel the cold, he still felt too cold, so he took out another talisman from his arms.
A young man next to him saw this and frowned slightly: "Don't waste the talisman. We don't know how long we will stay on this glacier. There are strong people here. If something changes, Master will not have time to take care of us. Everything must be done."
Rely on yourself, and the more talismans you have, the more you can rely on."
This young man is not very old, with straight and handsome features and piercing eyes, but his expression is rigid and meticulous, which makes him look quite mature.
When the Qi-training monk heard this, he became a little angry and said: "Li Yuanfang, you have established your foundation now, of course you can make sarcastic remarks."
What he said actually made no sense. Everyone present was saving their own mana and relying on talismans to keep warm.
He and Li Yuanfang are both formation monks. There is not much physical difference between the Qi training stage and the foundation building stage. They don't use their own magic power, but they feel the same cold.
Li Yuanfang was not annoyed, and just said quietly: "I feel more cold than you, because I control the speed of the talisman's mana dispersion. Your talisman can still be used for six hours and one-third quarters."
clock, and mine still lasts eight and a half hours."
During the Qi training period, the monk's face turned red: "Are you trying to show off to me?"
He and Li Yuanfang were both relatively late disciples of the ancestor of Hetu. The two were originally similar in cultivation, but Li Yuanfang had recently succeeded in building a foundation and suddenly surpassed the past.
Li Yuanfang was still very calm: "It's just for your own good. A thousand-mile embankment collapses in an ant nest. If small negligence accumulates, it will be a big disaster."
A golden elixir-level monk beside them frowned and said, "Shut up, everyone, and calmly deduce the formation. Don't talk about useless things."
These words were obviously meant to be biased. Although they were scolding both of them at the same time, they were more aimed at Li Yuanfang.
The Qi-training monk said loudly: "Yes, Senior Brother!" After speaking, he looked at Li Yuanfang proudly.
Li Yuanfang nodded calmly and stopped talking. He just glanced at the formation diagram drawn by the golden elixir monk on the ice.
The senior brother narrowed his eyes: "What? Junior Brother Li, is there anything else you want to say?"
Li Yuanfang's expression remained unchanged and he said quietly: "Senior Brother, in your formation diagram, the fourth and seventh runes are reversed, and the thirteenth rune is drawn wrong."
Everyone around them rolled their eyes, and they all showed expressions that showed that this was indeed the case.
Although this Li Yuanfang started late, he is really very talented in formations, so he is deeply loved by the ancestors of Hetu.
But this person has many shortcomings, one of which, at best, is that he is rigorous and conscientious, while at worst, he is picky.
Li Yuanfang is a person who likes to be more realistic and is perfectionist.
If that's all, it's nothing, but what's even more unacceptable is that he strictly requires himself not to say anything, and when others make omissions, he points them out without mercy, without leaving any face to others.
At first, his fellow disciples thought he was deliberately showing off, relying on his talents and being arrogant.
But once he got a formation diagram drawn by his master, Hetu Patriarch, when his cultivation level was low in the past, and pointed out one of the fallacies in it without hesitation in front of everyone, all his fellow disciples were speechless for a moment, and finally
Understand that this person is not arrogant, but completely ignorant of the world.
However, his temper was more to the liking of Ancestor Hetu. Ancestor Hetu laughed heartily after a brief moment of astonishment.
So at this moment, facing the senior brother who was blushing like a shrimp, everyone else's eyes were full of sympathy, and then they subconsciously adjusted their positions and used their bodies to block the formation diagram they had originally drawn.
Li Yuanfang's expression remained calm, while his fellow senior brother stared at him with a pair of bull's eyes. He had already greeted all eight generations of Li Yuanfang's ancestors in his heart: "If master hadn't protected you, I would have taught you a lesson."
.”
Someone looked at Senior Brother with gloating: "You are so mean-mouthed, but you want to offend that nasty guy. Will you suffer the consequences yourself?"
Ancestor Hetu appreciates Li Yuanfang's talent, but he also knows that his personality is easy to suffer. Not to mention outsiders, even his fellow disciples and brothers can't stand him.
Although the ancestor of Hetu could protect him, even if the disciples did not dare to retaliate, they would definitely ostracize and boycott him privately.
Therefore, when Patriarch Hetu taught Li Yuanfang Taoism, he also warned him to correct this habit.
Now that Li Yuanfang saw that his fellow disciples made omissions when drawing the formation diagram, he would remain silent most of the time. However, everyone has their own pride, especially some senior fellow apprentices who started earlier than him and whose cultivation level was higher than him. They were always confident that they did not have any
Fallacy.
But most of the results are just like being slapped in the face by Li Yuanfang.
A group of people were watching the excitement when they suddenly heard Master Hetu Patriarch say: "Everyone be quiet."
As soon as everyone woke up, they looked along the line of sight of Ancestor Hetu. After a long time, they saw several rays of rays of light, either red or blue, flying above their heads.
"They are from the Tianchi Sect." The ancestor of Hetu said slowly. Li Yuanfang and others felt nervous after hearing this. Because the Arctic Ice Sea is too desolate, there is no particularly large cultivation force in the area. The Tianchi Sect is the closest geographically to here.
Big gate.
Tianchi Sect has always been domineering, and the specific location of Kunpeng's secret cache has not been found yet. Once found, it is very likely that the place will be cleared.
Ancestor Hetu said: "Don't worry about what others think, and do your own thing. The formation derived from Kunpeng's secret treasure is extremely complex and mysterious. As long as you can understand this formation once or twice, it will be a worthwhile trip.
"
Everyone agreed in unison, but most of them were imagining how powerful it would be if they could get the Kunpeng Secret Treasure and obtain the secrets and power passed down in it.
Your whole life will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Li Yuanfang didn't have so many thoughts. He deeply believed in the instructions of his master, Patriarch Hetu, and just tried to figure out the changes in the spiritual energy nearby.
Suddenly, a dragon's roar resounded across the ice field, and the ancestor of Hetu and everyone looked towards the distant sky in surprise.
Most of the monks on the Arctic ice sea also looked at the sky in surprise. There, a huge crack opened in the space, and a huge black dragon poked its head out. On his huge head, sat a scholar in purple.
And a girl with purple clothes and red hair.
Most people didn't know their origins, but someone from the Tianchi Sect looked at them carefully for a moment, and their expressions suddenly changed: "They are from the Xuanmen Tianzong!"
