Chapter 158: Confrontation
"There seems to be a strange aura ahead."
Everyone turned around and saw that Shi Xiao was talking just now, and he pointed not far ahead and said indifferently. Shi Xiao relied on his spiritual acumen to find a strange cold aura ahead.
If it weren't for Shi Xiao's cultivation of Yin and Yang Qiankun Decision, I'm afraid he wouldn't have found out.
"Oh? Can you perceive it? Master Wu looked back and wondered.
"Yes, there should be a treasure ahead. This kind of aura is not something that can be emanated. Shi Xiao said indifferently.
A gleam flashed in Master Wu's eyes, if Shi Xiao had spoken before, he would definitely not believe it. However, now that the form is reversed, Master Wu does not dare to underestimate Shi Xiao easily.
"In that case, let's move forward." Master Wu continued to hold the compass in his hand and led everyone forward.
After a short time, everyone moved forward for hundreds of meters.
Suddenly, there was an extremely cold air in front of me. The trees and land in front of them were already icy, and a large number of ice flower crystals were attached to the object.
In this bizarre sight, a bright blue point of light appeared above the ground.
"Everyone, stop!!" Elder Qin hurriedly shouted, and then stepped forward to take a large number of blue light spots.
Everyone was also shocked by the scene in front of them, and the temperature in front of them had obviously dropped by more than ten degrees. And this is the only area that is extremely cold, and nowhere else is far from reaching such low temperatures.
Qin Lao looked at the blue light spot in front of him, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of ecstasy.
"This, this is a thousand-year-old Xuanxue Ice Lotus. Maybe it's because the purple qi came to the east to absorb a lot of spiritual energy, and it can be encountered here. Qin Lao said in surprise, and a hint of obsession flashed in his eyes.
Not to mention that thousand-year-old medicinal materials are rare even for hundreds of years, this thousand-year-old Xuanbing Ice Lian is simply a priceless treasure.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Shi Xiao secretly while being amazed, but they didn't expect that the inconspicuous Shi Xiao would be able to find the treasure for the first time.
At this time, Qin Lao took out a small box from his arms.
The box is carved from mahogany and covered with a layer of red satin. This is specially used by Qin Lao for rare medicinal materials, and now the box is also an old mountain ginseng.
But with the thousand-year-old Xuan Ice and Snow Lotus, like the same Chinese cabbage, Qin Lao put the old ginseng into his arms and then stepped forward to pick the thousand-year-old Xuan Ice and Snow Lotus.
At this moment, Shi Xiao suddenly sensed the breath of many people coming from in front of him.
"Elder Qin, don't step forward yet." Shi Xiao's figure flashed and stopped Qin Lao.
Old Qin was taken aback when he saw this: "Mr. Shi, what's wrong?!" Why can't you go over? ”
As soon as Qin Lao's words fell, he saw that more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the thousand-year-old Xuan Ice and Snow Lotus.
These people were dressed in white snow suits, and their faces were covered with masks with black lines and white backgrounds. And judging from the breath, they are all immortal cultivators.
Liu Jin and the others were taken aback when they saw this, they didn't expect to meet someone else so coincidentally. And looking at the other party's dress, it should also be a person from a family or a sect, but in order not to expose it, he didn't show his true face.
Wu Tiankuo and Ma Xianjue glanced at each other, obviously sensing that the other party's strength was not bad.
"Qin Lao, be careful! These people are very strong. Liu Jin said coldly, and at the same time stood in front of him with Song Meng. These uniformly dressed people in front of him are obviously masters.
The person opposite the thousand-year-old Xuan Ice Lotus was also looking at Shi Xiao and the others.
"Cousin, someone actually found this treasure before us." A man in a long white robe said in surprise, judging by his voice, he should not be very old.
"Sheng Huan, don't worry about it first, let's see which force the other party is." The leader said lightly, this person is not very old, but the aura on his body is already a foundation building stage monk.
It turned out that these people were all from the Sheng family of the Immortal Cultivation Family, and this time they came with the same goal as Qin Lao and the others. But wherever there is a vision of heaven and earth, there will inevitably be treasures of heaven and earth.
And the leader of the Sheng family this time is Shi Xiao's previous mortal enemy, Sheng Chongwen.
He returned to the Sheng family in the months since he disappeared from Jiangzhou University, and Sheng Chongwen finally succeeded in entering the foundation building period using the family's elixirs and secret methods.
Originally, he still wanted to find Shi Xiao to be ashamed, but when something like this happened in Kunlun Nanling, he had to come here first.
It's just that Shi Xiao was standing behind everyone at this time, and he hadn't noticed it yet. After hearing this, Sheng Heng's figure flashed and came to Liu Jin and the others.
"Who are you? It's the people of that force," Sheng Heng asked coldly.
"We're here to hunt for treasure, so I guess your purpose is the same as ours. As for who we are, we belong to the Valley of the God of Medicine. Liu Jin responded, and at the same time made a gesture to Song Meng and the people behind him.
"It turned out to be from the Medicine God Valley, and we are the people of the Sheng family. This time, our Sheng family asked for the Millennium Xuan Ice Lotus, and we can give you other items as compensation. Sheng Heng said coldly.
There are only seven great families of immortal cultivation in Huaxia Kingdom, and the Sheng family is also one of the most powerful families among them. Although the number of people is not as good as those super sects. But the high-end combat power is no worse than them.
The Sheng family, who had already broken through to the foundation building period, had more than one palm, and there were twenty or thirty monks in the qi refining period. There are more than 15 monks comparable to martial arts masters.
Liu Jin couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, this thousand-year-old Xuan Ice Lotus is a priceless treasure. Its significance is immeasurable, and the meaning of the Sheng family is obviously to want to rob it.
"Your Excellency said with a smile, the thousand-year-old Xuan Ice and Snow Lotus is a rare occurrence in a hundred years. Moreover, this kind of treasure can only play its role in our Medicine God Valley. ”
"Our Medicine God Valley can compensate you for other elixirs, I don't know what your Sheng family wants?" Liu Jin said coldly, it was not so easy for them to compromise in the Medicine God Valley.
Sheng Heng's face turned pale when he heard this, and then he snorted coldly and returned to the Sheng family.
"Cousin, the other party is from the Medicine God Valley. And they were unwilling to give up this thousand-year-old Xuan Ice Lotus easily. Sheng Heng whispered.
"Medicine God Valley?! Hmph, that's a nuisance. Sheng Chongwen frowned.
Originally, he planned that if the other party had no background, he would just take Xu Xuan's ice and snow lotus directly. But as one of the super sects in the Medicine God Valley, the other party will definitely have masters.
"Cousin, if you want me to say let's just snatch it. You're a master of the foundation building period now. Sheng Heng said flatteringly.
A smile appeared on the corner of Sheng Chongwen's mouth after hearing this, but the Sheng family paid a big price to make him a foundation building period. The foundation building period monk was comparable to the powerhouse of the Golden Light Realm, and it just so happened that he also wanted to see how strong he was.
"You're right, big fists are the last word." Sheng Chongwen said indifferently.
Then he led the people of the Sheng family to lean towards the thousand-year-old Xuan Ice and Snow Lotus, and it seemed that he wanted to forcibly pick it.
Liu Jin and the others changed their faces when they saw this, and then rushed over with Song Meng and others. Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoqian, Wu Tianqi and others also followed.
They are also nominally helping, so naturally they will not sit idly by.
For a while, the people on both sides surrounded the thousand-year-old Xuan Ice and Snow Lotus, but no one dared to make the first move. After all, the Xuan Ice Lotus is very fragile, and if they are not careful, they may destroy the Snow Lotus.
Shi Xiao and Li Chaoyuan watched silently at the end, and Shi Xiao's spiritual sense was also shocked.
The other party is not only an immortal cultivator, but also many of them are powerful. The breath of the person at the head had reached the foundation building period, but Shi Xiao always felt that the other party's breath was a little weird.
Sheng Chongwen seemed to notice it, and his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Shi Xiao. But there were many people in front of him, and he couldn't see Shi Xiao's figure, but there was a sense of familiarity in his heart.
Liu Jin stepped forward at this time and said in a cold voice: "It seems that both of us want to take out this Xuanxue Ice Lotus, since this is the case, you can propose a solution." ”
Seeing this, Sheng Heng couldn't help but look at Sheng Chongwen behind him, and he had an idea in his heart for a moment.
"In that case, we're going to play three games. After that, if you win two games, you win, even if you win. Sheng Heng said coldly.
Although Sheng Chongwen was there, after all, the opposite side was from the Medicine God Valley, and if a conflict broke out, he was afraid that there would be casualties on both sides.
So they simply proposed a best-of-three competition, and with Sheng Chongwen in them, they must win. And there is a high probability that the other party will accept this method.
After hearing this, Liu Jin couldn't help but look at the people behind him, and they all nodded their heads.
Liu Jin couldn't help nodding slightly after hearing this, then turned around and said, "Okay, it's okay." Your Sheng family is also a famous family, so I don't think you will fail to keep your promises. ”
"Hmph, that's nature." Sheng Heng said coldly.
Then he came to Liu Jin and the others in a flash, and it seemed that he was the first person to make a move this time.
Sheng Heng, as Sheng Chongwen's cousin, although he is about the same age as Li Chaoyuan, he is also a sixth-layer condensation qi, which is equivalent to the third transformation of a martial arts master.
Liu Jin's face couldn't help but be a little ugly when he saw this, and he only noticed Sheng Heng's breath now. The aura on the other party's body was very condensed, and it must have surpassed the martial arts master's cultivation.
But it can't be done now, the other party should be very young and inexperienced in battle. I have experienced a lot of battles, and the odds of winning are still very good.
Sheng Heng pulled out the cyan long sword from his waist at this time, and a layer of cyan body protection aura also appeared on his body.
Liu Jin's face instantly became serious, his hands moved slightly, and two short knives appeared. A large amount of white qi also appeared around his body, and the surrounding wind and snow were blown away by the qi.
In order to prevent the battle from spreading to the Xuan Ice Lotus, the two of them could stay away from here to fight. Song Meng, Qin Lao and the others stood in place, watching the duel between the two seriously and nervously.
Shi Xiao's figure was hidden at the end, and he couldn't take his eyes off the battle between the two. Immortal cultivators of Huaxia Kingdom rarely encountered, and he looked at the methods of immortal cultivators of Huaxia Kingdom.
The two sides confronted each other for a moment, and the two figures, one green and one white, collided together in an instant.
Suddenly, the aura and aura collided in the air, and the surrounding giant trees and the ground were all scratched out. Sheng Heng held the cyan long sword and swordsmanship smartly, and the Dao sword qi roared out.
On the other hand, Liu Jin was very calm, and the deep Gang Qi attached to the double swords resisted the sword qi impenetrable.
The battle between the two lasted for more than ten minutes, and in the end, Liu Jin relied on his combat experience and strategy to narrowly defeat Sheng Heng.
"Hmph, that's rubbish." Sheng Chongwen said dissatisfiedly, and then rushed out with a flash.
