Bing Ling was a man of few words, so he just glanced at Zuojiang and the others and then stood aside, letting Huo Ling talk nonsense.
"Hey, it turns out this thing is Ice Xuan Crystal."
Huo Ling pretended to be surprised and suddenly turned to look at the three of them: "I saw the greed in your eyes, aren't you going to snatch it away from me?"
Zuo Jiang and Hua Yuan looked at each other, and Zhuge Qianqian shook his head slightly.
Not to mention, they had really had this idea, but they just felt that the two people opposite were very powerful, and even if the three of them joined forces, there was no absolute chance of winning, so they did not dare to act rashly, and had to suppress the desire in their hearts.
"Brother, don't get me wrong. We don't have such thoughts. We are just a little strange. The Bingxuan Star's Bingxuan Crystal has always been rumored. I am just too excited to see its true form today."
Zuo Jiang immediately cupped his fists and saluted, trying to explain.
"Okay, okay, I don't have the time to listen to your explanation."
Huo Ling replied disapprovingly, then raised his hand and threw it, and the ice crystal fell towards Zuo Jiang. The latter almost instinctively reached out to catch it, but his face was blank.
"Since you are so curious, I will give you one to study!" Huo Ling grinned, and Bing Ling almost couldn't help but beat him up.
Zuo Jiang and the three of them were all stunned. They were completely confused by the scene in front of them. Such a rare treasure from the world, the other party actually threw it to them casually?
"Brother, are you...really giving this...to me?"
At this moment, Zuo Jiang didn't have any strong demeanor at all. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Why, are you still dissatisfied?" Huo Ling frowned.
But just such an action immediately made Zuo Jiang's heart skip a beat. The guy opposite was completely moody, but he must not go back on his word.
"How dare you, how dare you, since my brother has such good intentions, it would be disrespectful for me to reject him!" Zuo Jiang said solemnly, "I hope that my brother will leave a good name and I will definitely repay your kindness in the future."
"No!"
Huo Ling waved his hand, and his heroic mood suddenly appeared. He immediately looked at Hua Yuan, Zhuge Qianqian and his wife: "It is rare that we are destined, so I will give you this piece of ice jade."
Zhuge Qianqian, with quick eyes and quick hands, took it immediately and said gratefully: "Thank you both!"
"Let's go!"
Seeing Huo Ling pull this prank, Bing Ling was a little impatient and urged.
"Hello!"
The arrogant Huo Ling immediately let out a strange cry and turned around to go deeper. Bing Ling helplessly shook his head and followed after him.
"Huh? Didn't you say that there is nothing in the core area? Why did they go inside?" Zuo Jiang became confused when he saw this.
"Whatever with them, someone who has never met us yet still sends such a precious treasure is considered a favor." Zhuge Qianqian chuckled.
However, the two of them were in such a good mood that they seemed to have forgotten about Hua Yuan behind them.
One of them got the Ice Mysterious Crystal, and the other got the Ice Mysterious Jade. Even if the values were different, it was an unexpected surprise, but Hua Yuan got nothing.
At this moment, Hua Yuan was crying with a mournful face, staring blankly in the direction where Huo Ling and Bing Ling were leaving.
"Whoosh..."
Suddenly, two sounds of breaking through the air resounded, and two objects emitting strong icy power were shot out from them.
"Could it be..."
Hua Yuan immediately jumped out, reached out with both hands and held it in his hand. He looked down and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, two ice mysterious jade, they belong to me!"
"Thank you!"
Zhuge Qianqian immediately pulled him, Hua Yuan quickly woke up, and both of them bowed respectfully in the distance.
Regarding the strange situation that occurred today, the three of them thought hard for a long time but could not figure it out. In the end, they could only attribute it to luck.
The rest of the time was easy to pass, so they simply started practicing cross-legged on the spot. The Ice Xuan Jade and Ice Xuan Crystals really complemented each other well with the environment here.
The passage of time during cultivation was not noticeable at all. Spring passed and autumn came, and another year passed in the blink of an eye. The three of them had already finished refining the treasures they had harvested. They felt that the source of energy in their bodies had improved a lot, but they were still far away from touching the heavenly realm.
The fourth step of barrier is far from enough.
However, what I didn't expect was that on the same day a year later, the two mysterious guys appeared again and also gave three people Bing Xuan Crystal and Bing Xuan Jade.
However, the Bingxuan Crystal will always belong to Zuo Jiang, making Hua Yuan and his wife both envious and hated.
But this time there was something different. Huo Ling gave out seven or eight ice mystical jade, which brought a lot of balance to the aggrieved couple.
From then on, this scene will always be performed on the same day every year.
Zuo Jiang and the others no longer thought it was due to luck, and became more respectful to Huo Ling and Bing Ling, and even changed their words to "benefactor".
…
The waves in the sky are easy to fade away, but the heat is hard to stay.
Counting from the day Zhong Zihao went into seclusion, thirteen spring and autumn years have passed.
Today's Ice Xuan Star has changed its appearance. Most of the daunting chill in the past has disappeared. There are water pools everywhere in the place that was originally covered by Xuan Ice.
In the underground space, a man in black robe slowly opened his eyes. The pupils were deep and mysterious. There seemed to be endless stars hanging upside down inside, giving people unlimited reverie.
"We are only one step away from the third step of the Heavenly Realm, but it is not a good thing to blindly pursue a quick breakthrough. It is better to settle down for a while." Zhong Zihao exhaled a long breath, feeling the vast source of power rushing through his body, and he was in a good mood.
However, when he turned around and looked at a corner behind him, he immediately smiled helplessly.
That place was originally where the Ice Mysterious Crystals were piled up. After a quick glance, at least dozens of them were consumed. It seemed that the cost for him to achieve this breakthrough seemed a bit high.
After some calculation, he realized that more than ten years had passed and he immediately stopped staying.
"Whoosh!"
Zhong Zihao waved his hand, and he put away half of the ice xuan crystals and ice xuan jade here, and then shouted: "Fire spirit, ice spirit!"
"Boohoo!"
Two piercing sounds came from far away, and the two of them came closer in an instant: "Master, what are your orders?"
"Bing Ling put away the remaining ones, we will set off immediately." Zhong Zihao raised his hand and pointed to the Ice Xuan Crystal and Ice Xuan Jade in the corner. These things are crucial to Bing Ling.
Although the latter also has the more precious Black Ice Chalcedony, that kind of magic medicine can save lives at critical moments, so it is not a bad thing if it can be used sparingly.
"Master, where is our goal?" Huo Ling was extremely excited.
In the past ten years, the cultivation of the two people has never stood still, and now the two spirits have reached the third step of the heavenly realm.
"Of course we are looking for someone. Can't you sense the location of the other people?" Zhong Zihao asked naturally.
"That's great!"
Huo Ling was overjoyed: "Among the three of them, the one closest to us is the Tu Ling, probably..."
Huo Ling spoke eloquently, but was directly interrupted by Zhong Zihao: "What are you doing to your mother-in-law? Hurry up and lead the way!"
"yes!"
After a while, three figures were seen rushing out from the underground space, running straight towards Zuo Jiang and others.
