Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Spirit Rong Night hesitated slightly.

If it were an ordinary disciple, they would definitely stop him; there is no doubt about that.

It just so happens that the other party is not only a Core Disciple, but also comes from Qingmu Peak.

It is universally known that in an immortal sect, especially on an Xianfeng, there are three types of people one absolutely cannot offend.

One type is those who practice Artifact Refining.

One type is those who practice alchemy.

One type is those who practice Zhu shu tian.

These people are extraordinarily united; offending one equals offending a whole group, and they are not to be provoked.

And to join Qingmu Peak, one must possess a Wood Spirit Root.

That is to say, the person before him is most likely also a spirit farmer.

Moreover, he is not an ordinary spirit farmer, but a spirit farmer with the identity of a "Spirit Nurturer".

Seeing the other party remain silent, Xu Zhangqing cupped his hands and said: "I have come here to see Chu Qiu, Chu Shixiong; I ask Dao Friend Spirit to be accommodating."

Upon hearing this, Spirit Rong Night's brows furrowed slightly: "According to the rules, those who have not been invited are not allowed to enter Tiexue Peak."

Xu Zhangqing let out an "Oh" and prepared to leave.

Although he very much wanted to see Chu Qiu and inquire about the situation at that time, there was nothing he could do if he couldn't get in.

As a result, the next second, Spirit Rong Night changed his tune: "But rules are dead, people are alive; I know Chu Qiu too, you may go in."

The corner of Xu Zhangqing's mouth twitched several times: "You are truly flexible and changeable."

Spirit Rong Night smiled playfully, then his figure swayed and transformed into a wisp of breeze, dissipating into nothingness.

Finding the other party so interesting, Xu Zhangqing committed him to memory, then drove the Broken Moon Flowing Frost, rapidly approaching Tiexue Peak.

And as he drew closer, he felt that the Spiritual Energy here was different from other places.

Metal Spirit Qi is like fine needles; absorbing it brings a stinging sensation.

Fire Spirit Qi is like raging flames; absorbing it is extremely violent.

Water Spirit Qi is like ice silk; absorbing it feels as if it would erode the bones.

Earth Spirit Qi is like heavy sand; absorbing it is extremely sluggish.

Even the most gentle Wood Spirit Qi, upon reaching Tiexue Peak, cannot be absorbed smoothly, but instead gives a slight feeling of mild poisoning.

The environment here is extremely harsh; ordinary people simply cannot stay here.

Not long after, Xu Zhangqing docked the Broken Moon Flowing Frost at an Empty Space.

Here leads in all directions; one can go to any direction, any District.

Because he did not know Chu Qiu's specific location, he took out the other party's Communication Talisman.

Time passed minute by second; the other side stubbornly showed not the slightest reaction.

If it were damaged, Spiritual Energy would be unable to activate it.

Since it can activate, there are only two possibilities.

Either Chu Qiu is busy, or his injuries are severe.

At this moment, Spirit Rong Night's voice rang out by his ear: "Chu Qiu and Qiu Hong are the only two survivors from Dongting; they are currently recovering from their injuries in Han Yuan Jian.

You keep going straight on the Left Side, and you will see an Entrance."

Xu Zhangqing cupped his hands toward the source of the sound: "Many thanks."

Then, he sped off following the direction the other party indicated, and soon vanished into the distance.

On the other side, Spirit Rong Night revealed a suspicious expression: "Strange, I used wind to transmit sound; how did he capture the specific location in an instant?"

……

……

Not long after, Xu Zhangqing saw an Entrance.

At the most shaded position on the north side of Tiexue Peak, there is a crack that looks as if it were split open by a giant axe.

The surroundings and the interior are covered in thousand-year-old ice that never melts; the dark greenish-black rocks exposed beneath the ice shell have been frozen by the cold Qi until they are hard as iron.

A waterfall of ice hangs over the ravine mouth; as the water falls, it condenses in mid-air into crystalline ice stalactites, crashing into the cold pool below, splashing not water droplets, but fine ice slag.

It is cold to the extreme here; even inhaling the air can sting the throat tight.

For all Spiritual Roots except Water and Ice Spirit Roots, it carries dense malice.

Fortunately, Xu Zhangqing not only has Five Elements Perfection, but has also reached the Golden Core Stage; he is virtually immune to this kind of damage and suffers not the slightest effect.

He walked step by step inside; the deeper he went, the thicker the cold Qi became; the surrounding ice shells gradually thickened, forming natural ice pillars and ice curtains; sunlight refracted through them, casting a cold, pale blue ghostly light.

The internal passage is pierced through by an ice stream, dividing it into two.

As the stream water flows, it emits not ordinary water sounds, but a crisp "click-clack".

Xu Zhangqing walked on the left side, following the ice stream deep inside.

Along the way, he would occasionally run into Tiexue Peak disciples.

Each one is either a Water Spirit Root or an Ice Spirit Root.

Seeing him dressed in Spirit Farmer Attire, these people were all very surprised.

Occasionally someone would stop him and subject him to various interrogations, appearing extremely vigilant.

However, since they were all Immortal Peak Disciples, and Xu Zhangqing could indeed use the Spirit Field Spirit Cultivator's Token to prove his identity, no one made things difficult for him, and he passed through very smoothly.

"Ask, where is Chu Qiu?"

"Deepest part inside."

"Many thanks!"

Xu Zhangqing inquired all the way, and finally in the deepest part, in an area without any sunlight, he found Chu Qiu lying in an Ice Coffin, with Qiu Hong beside him.

It looks like they were sealed in ice.

The two of them now, to tell the truth, are a bit miserable.

Their bodies are already incomplete, either missing an arm or lacking a leg.

Moreover, their whole bodies have various wounds, such as abrasions, bruises, irregular lacerations, etc., making one's scalp tingle just looking at them.

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but sigh: "Being alive is good enough."

At this moment, a clear and cold voice came from behind: "Who are you?"

Xu Zhangqing turned to look, and his whole person froze.

The arrival was an absolutely beautiful female Immortal Maiden, a moon-white long dress dragging on the ground.

The dress had no complicated patterns, only on the collar, cuffs, and the edge of the hem, water ripple patterns were embroidered with silver thread.

She has a standard goose-egg face, high nose bridge, lips pink like peach blossoms.

Phoenix eyes, corners of the eyes slightly upturned.

Eyebrows like willow leaves, both thin and long.

Long hair like ink, tied into a high bun with a pure white Cold Jade Hairpin, the pin's tail hanging three strands of silver silk.

Cold, very cold.

Not only is her temperament cold.

It feels cold.

Even the aura she emits is cold to the extreme.

It looks as if the ice sculpture condensed for a thousand years in Han Yuan Jian has turned into human form.

This kind of person, one look and you can tell she is not an ordinary Disciple; between her brows she carries a few parts of a superior's detachment.

Xu Zhangqing decisively lowered his head, then cupped his fists in salute: "Core Disciple of Qingmu Peak, Spirit Field's only Spirit Cultivator, Xu Zhangqing!"

Upon hearing this, the other party's willow brows lifted slightly: "What do you come here to do?"

Xu Zhangqing explained: "I have known Chu Shixiong for a long time, heard he returned, so I specially came to take a look.

Never expected they would actually become like this."

After hearing the explanation, this person's face still had no expression, faintly saying: "Chu Qiu and Qiu Hong are the same, blasted into severe injury by Li Fire Thunder, now they need cold ice to suppress it."

Xu Zhangqing suddenly understood: "So it is like this."

"Within a short time, neither Chu Qiu nor Qiu Hong can speak, you come again next time."

"May I ask, what exactly happened in Canglan Sea Region, especially Xuanxin City?"

"Regarding this, I am also not clear; if you are really curious, go ask that bird!"

"You mean He Qi?"

"Correct."

"Where is He Qi now?"

"Ling Beast Valley, Thousand Crane Forest."

"Good, I know now."

"Go quickly, don't disturb my Disciple's rest."

Disciple?

Hearing these two words, Xu Zhangqing's pupils suddenly contracted.

Could it be, the person before my eyes is the legendary Nascent Soul True Lord who swept the Seven Peaks with no opponent, Ling Shuang!
