825. Chapter 823: Frost Giant Beast

Faint ghostly light flickered in the darkness, giving a mysterious and solemn feeling.

The garden here is really beautiful.

Su Liyan praised softly, her eyes revealing curiosity and awe toward the Youhun Sect.

Lu Yuan nodded, he too was attracted by the Youhun Sect's unique qualities.

Yes, although the Youhun Sect's atmosphere is somewhat gloomy, it nevertheless harbors a special charm.

The two walked along the garden path; as the breeze blew, floral fragrance rushed to their noses, making them feel as if they were in a fairyland.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded; a young Youhun Sect disciple ran over, looking flustered as he spoke to Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.

Senior Lu, Senior Su, True Lord Po Tian has come to visit; please go to the main hall immediately.

Hearing the name True Lord Po Tian, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan both started slightly; they knew True Lord Po Tian was the sect leader of the Black Flame Sect and had some acquaintance with Lu Yuan.

Let's go.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, leading Su Liyan toward the Youhun Sect's main hall.

Inside the main hall, it was dim and solemn; True Lord Po Tian sat upright in the chief seat, a smile on his face.

Seeing Lu Yuan and Su Liyan enter, he immediately rose to greet them.

Brother Lu, Brother Su, welcome to the Youhun Sect.

True Lord Po Tian's voice was deep and powerful, conveying both dignity and approachability.

True Lord Po Tian, what brings you to visit us here?

Lu Yuan asked politely, and Su Liyan also nodded slightly to indicate.

True Lord Po Tian smiled mysteriously, his expression revealing a hint of excitement.

I have some news that might help you resolve the predicament faced by the Pill Research Institute.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan's and Su Liyan's eyes lit up; they eagerly asked for details.

True Lord Po Tian slowly said: "I have learned of a secret herb garden where a rare medicinal herb called the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus grows; it can exactly substitute one of the materials you need in your formula."

Upon hearing the three words 'Ice Crystal Jade Lotus,' Su Liyan's heart raced; she knew this herb would be of great help to her ice-based immortal arts.

"True Lord Po Tian, where is this herb garden? Can we go there immediately?" Lu Yuan asked eagerly, hoping to obtain a clue to resolve their predicament.

True Lord Po Tian smiled and nodded, handing Lu Yuan a token that flickered with a ghostly light. "This is the pass to enter the herb garden; I will send someone to guide you there, hoping you can smoothly find the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus."

Lu Yuan received the token, saying gratefully: "True Lord Po Tian, thank you for your help; we will certainly go as soon as possible."

Su Liyan also hurriedly thanked him: "True Lord Po Tian, rest assured, we will do our utmost."

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan followed True Lord Po Tian's guidance to the rear mountain of the Youhun Sect.

The rear mountain was utterly silent, like a deep inner chamber, shrouded in thick clouds.

Here the spiritual energy was richer than elsewhere in the Youhun Sect, as if countless wraiths lingered.

"The herb garden where the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus grows is right here." True Lord Po Tian said, pointing forward.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan walked forward, carefully opening the gate of the herb garden.

A refreshing breeze blew in; inside the herb garden the sun shone brightly, flowers bloomed profusely, beautiful as a fairyland.

"This place is truly beautiful." Su Liyan exclaimed excitedly.

Lu Yuan nodded; they continued forward, seeking the legendary Ice Crystal Jade Lotus.

After a search, they finally found a blooming Ice Crystal Jade Lotus; the flower was pure white as snow, emitting a chilling aura.

"This is the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus."

Su Liyan said excitedly.

Lu Yuan gazed at the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus; a strong desire welled up in his heart, knowing this herb would greatly aid his immortal arts cultivation.

He reached out and lightly touched the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus; suddenly a cold air emanated from the flower, freezing his palm until it turned red.

"This Ice Crystal Jade Lotus is indeed extraordinary."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, deciding to pluck it.

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan; she knew his longing for the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus and understood his intention.

"Lu Yuan, this Ice Crystal Jade Lotus is important for your cultivation; take it first."

Su Liyan said proactively.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment; looking at Su Liyan's earnest eyes, his heart filled with gratitude and warmth.

"Su Liyan, thank you."

Lu Yuan gazed deeply at Su Liyan; he knew such a decision was not easy.

Su Liyan smiled and shook her head: "No need to thank me; we are a team, helping each other is only right."

They carefully placed the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus into a medicine bottle, preparing to take it back to the Pill Research Institute.

Just as they were about to leave, a low growl suddenly echoed in the herb garden.

"What sound?"

Lu Yuan looked around warily, feeling a strong energy fluctuation.

As the growl drew nearer, a huge Frost Giant Beast burst from the woods, its body towering ten meters tall, covered in frost, exuding a biting chill.

Su Liyan tightly gripped her Ice Crystal Long Whip, preparing to battle the Frost Giant Beast.

"This is a Frost Giant Beast, powerful and ferocious."

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows; he knew this was a battle not to be underestimated.

They went forward to meet the Frost Giant Beast, and a fierce battle began.

Lu Yuan employed the Five Elements Escape Technique, flexibly dodging the Frost Giant Beast's attacks while continuously launching fierce assaults.

Su Liyan, meanwhile, used ice-based immortal arts, releasing a chill that enveloped the Frost Giant Beast, weakening its attack power.

Their seamless cooperation kept the ice frost giant beast constantly on the defensive.

Finally, under a combined attack, the ice frost giant beast's body began to shake, and it eventually collapsed with a boom.

After the battle ended, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan both sat on the ground, somewhat exhausted, breathing heavily.

"This ice frost giant beast is truly powerful."

Su Liyan murmured to herself.

Lu Yuan nodded; they had just gone through a life-and-death battle, and their understanding of each other's strength and rapport deepened further.

"We should leave this place as soon as possible and return to the Pill Research Institute."

Lu Yuan stood up, knowing their task was not yet complete.

Su Liyan also rose to her feet, gripping the Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, "Yes, we still have much to do."

They left the Herb Garden.

After defeating the ice frost giant beast, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan hastily left the Herb Garden, eager to return to the Pill Research Institute.

Their mood was somewhat heavy, for they knew Zi Xi'er and Zi Cui Ling were in danger.

Lu Yuan clenched the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus in his hand, feeling deep gratitude for Su Liyan's generosity and trust.

He resolved to help Zi Cui Ling escape danger as soon as possible, not letting anyone harm his family. (End of chapter)
