Volume 1 The Story of the Ashala Chapter 24 Cold Jade Stone Milk
This is actually a place full of life, although there is a thick layer of ice, but there are still a large number of ice grass that is close to the ground to breed, but this thing is of little value, of course, what is even more shocking is that there are no less than thirty huge snow beasts on the platform, the snow beasts are gray and white, more than a zhang high, bloated, hideous, with two curved horns, these snow beasts are left here for some reason, in a short period of time, Jiang Feng can hardly imagine what they do for a living.
There are a large number of white boulders floating in the void, and their surface has been rounded and smooth by the long-term wind erosion here, with few obvious edges and corners, as if there is some mysterious power in this place, creating such a spectacle that defies common sense.
Compared to the scale of the "Boulder Floating Array", the entire mountain platform is still quite large, a winding path, leading to a higher place that I don't know how far away, only to see a thick fog covering the sky, where even light seems to be precious.
Underneath the boulder floating array, there is a shallow pool, which, according to the instructions in the quest, seems to be the Cold Jade Pool. Occasionally, a wonderful burst of freezing rain struck, striking on the smooth boulder, but instead of solidifying in the cold wind, it became viscous and astringent, gradually gathering under the stone, dripping down and falling into the cold jade pool, where the water entered, three points deeper than the rest of the pool, and glowing with a white curdled sheen.
This is the cold jade milk.
The area with the highest concentration of snow beasts is also here.
Could it be that this cold jade stone milk is their food? Regarding the records of the cold jade stone milk, there is no record in the miscellaneous records that he bought during his wandering in Zhenwu City, most of them have a relatively special use, and it is estimated that the overall value is not high, and the amount of use is also very small, otherwise Li Zong will definitely send someone to guard this place, and it is impossible to easily reach the foot of the mountain with only the task certificate.
The strength of the snow beast is estimated to be equivalent to the level of four or five levels of the spirit level, its huge size, when it is known for its strength, this is a social creature, it is not a demon beast, if it is alone, Jiang Feng is still easy to kill it, but from its hard skin, it will take a little time. Jiang Feng gave a simple try, the snow beasts would call for help to each other, and soon the group attack came, Jiang Feng did not have the group attack skill in his body, so he had to use Jiang Chengzi to temporarily escape, so he could only find a way to drive them away.
At this time, I can only use stink bombs, which I originally wanted to save.
Taking advantage of the moment when the wind occasionally became smaller, the stink bomb flew over, raising a burst of smoke, the smoke emitted a choking smell, although the snow monster's nostrils were not big, but the sense of smell was quite sensitive, and he immediately scattered and fled, taking advantage of the chaos, Jiang Feng quickly approached the cold jade pool. He doesn't have much time, and the smell of stink bombs will soon be blown away by the wind here.
The temperature of the cold jade pool is extremely low, and the area where the stone milk is located is even more musculo-bones, with Jiang Feng's cultivation, it is not yet possible to directly use the porcelain box to directly take the cold jade stone milk, and stimulate the [cold isolation] of the spiritual light wrench, Jiang Feng quickly used the porcelain spoon to go deep into the stone milk pit, put out a spoonful of cold jade stone milk, and poured it into the prepared porcelain box, this action must be fast, because the cold isolation is only three seconds, and the cooling time is an hour.
Looking at the capacity of this porcelain box, I am afraid that it will take three times to fill it to be sufficient, and I am afraid that I will have to stay by this cold jade pool tonight. The snow beasts had regrouped, Jiang Feng hurriedly used Jiang Chengzi to fly to the path leading to a higher place, avoiding the snow monsters, Jiang Chengzi's cultivation was very difficult to fly straight up, besides, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, the vision was very poor, and there was a strange cold rain that often fell, Jiang Feng didn't dare to let him take this risk.
The trail winds and turns, with occasional forks leading to flatter terraces, mostly bare and lifeless, with no floating boulders, until you have walked nearly three miles before you find something different.
The fog here suddenly lightened, the platform was also wider, a large number of ice crystal grasses appeared on the surface, and a larger snow beast was lying there, motionless, there was no one here, Jiang Feng looked close with the help of the shadow, and found that this snow beast had been dead for a long time. On the ice near the snow beast, two obvious sword marks, piercing through the ice and leaving obvious marks on the rocks below, this snow beast should have died from this sword, and the two scars on its chest that cut off its spine are undoubtedly proof.
Who killed this snow beast, or the king of snow beasts? To be able to monopolize this mesa, it is even larger, theoretically different from the snow beasts below. On closer inspection, one of his horns had been removed, while the other, because of a slight flaw, had been retained, and that flaw looked like it should have been left by competing with other snow beasts.
Just to take this corner?
If it is medicinal, or a refining vessel, even if there is a mutilated horn, it will not be discarded.
An ice silkworm is feasting in the chest of the snow beast, this hundred-legged ice silkworm is actually a scavenger living in cold regions, the ice silkworm is just a good name, its body is not as soft as an ordinary silkworm, but has a hard shell, used to resist the cold here, this thing has some value. Jiang Feng took out the dagger and searched carefully, found ten mature individuals, and cut a piece of meat on the inconspicuous internal organs of the snow beast, and put them together in the spirit beast bag, the hundred-legged ice silkworm is a material for alchemy, which is said to resist frostbite.
Further up, although there are ice and snow terraces, but nothing was found, until near the peak, I found a huge ice lake, the surface of the ice lake is covered with a thick ice cap, the exquisite treasure light passes through, nothing is found inside, this is normal, there are no cultivation resources here, people are rare, who will put the treasure here.
Around the glacial lake, there is a large amount of snow piled up in the leeward position, and it is facing the sun, and it is a special feeling to sit here and enjoy the scenery.
It was extremely cold here, Jiang Chengzi had already hid on Jiang Feng's arm to avoid the cold, and when he calmed down, Jiang Feng suddenly found that the severe cold here had already made the black snake spirit on his arm in a semi-dormant state, and the extraction of his spiritual power had also decreased a lot, which was a beneficial discovery.
Although this effect is much worse than feeding spirit beast eggs, it is also quite beneficial to one's own cultivation and improvement, and I am very happy in my heart, this trip to Hanyuchi, even if there is only this harvest, is quite good.
After staying in the cold jade pool for four hours and using three stink bombs, Jiang Feng finally collected all the cold jade stone milk needed for the task, before the dawn came, Jiang Feng had already returned to Dagu Mountain, handed over the task, and caught up with the morning o'clock, when the task was in his body, he naturally didn't have to worry about this matter, but after delivery, the necessary process was still to go, Yu Xiaozheng's half-second-order spirit stone, as well as twenty purple fire copper crystals, also had to be obtained.
At present, there are already two thousand tributes, and the twenty black bamboo tokens in his hand are the vouchers.
Jiang Feng returned to his residence and waited for the opening of the ghost market with peace of mind.
............
The ghost market is the acquiescence of the management of the Li Sect, and in the outer gate, there are many disciples with noble wealth, who need to use the platform of the ghost market to sell their collections in exchange for other disciples who are willing to run errands and do tasks, such as Menggong. Most of the high-level refiners of the Li Sect are worshiped in the Treasure Pavilion, so after they collect a large number of tributes, they can create their own needs in the Treasure Pavilion. In this way, there is mutual communication within the sect, which is conducive to the cultivation of disciples at different levels.
In addition, bartering is also a common trading method in the ghost market, and as for the purple fire copper crystal sold by Lizong in large quantities, it is strictly forbidden to buy and sell to avoid inadvertently flowing into the hands of other sects, and can only be used as self-provided materials in the treasure pavilion.
This was beyond Jiang Feng's expectations, the reason why he accepted Yu Xiaozheng's request and mixed into the Li Sect was that he wanted to get the Purple Fire Copper Crystal through trading, after all, in the tasks of the outer disciples, there were many rewards that were Purple Fire Copper Crystals, but he didn't expect this thing to be strictly controlled, but fortunately, his luck was not bad, and he got a lot of them in the tailings of Tianmu Mountain.
Jiang Feng wore a white iron mask this time, although the body shape and aura could not be completely used as a characteristic of demon cultivation, but in order to increase the sense of mystery and security, the organizer still learned this standard configuration of the Terran ghost market, although it was not mandatory, but Jiang Feng, who was originally a disciple of the outer sect of the Pseudo-Li Sect, would naturally wear this thing without hesitation.
The starting point of things here is higher, and it is rare to see the common first-order things in Jiangfengmen, even if there are, they are mostly above the boutique, such as the first-order fiery talisman, there are some, but they are all first-order high-quality fiery talismans, not only the craftsmanship of the drawing talisman is more exquisite and beautiful, but the power is also much stronger than the ordinary fiery talisman, and it is sold in a "bundle".
Because of the characteristics of the disciples of the sect, the prices of fire-based and earth-based things are high, while the wood-based, water-based, and gold-based things are relatively cheap, but there are few types of items.
[Giant Wood Barrier], summoning a huge wooden barrier, forming a simple guardian array, the protection range is 100 steps in a circle, and the power of one layer is equivalent to the first level of "Wooden Barrier Talisman" protection strength, and each additional layer in the future will be more than half a level, until the ninth level, which can be close to the power of the fifth-order talisman, but this skill book is a remnant, and more than five times have been lost.
Jiang Feng actually didn't fancy the protective ability, but the giant wooden barrier itself could self-detonate and cause damage to the targets around the barrier, if he put one around his own person and immediately self-detonated, the power was still good, because no matter how many layers it was raised, the magic power was only related to his own cultivation.
This skill is equivalent to solving the weakness of not having a group attack skill, as for the skill of fighting alone, for the time being, it is better to use a fiery charm, especially a cheap item like a fire talisman to replace it, the cultivation of the low-level stage, the spiritual power can not support many high-level skills, especially when the number of layers is higher, it can throw off more than ten, and it belongs to its own deep spiritual energy. This [Giant Wood Barrier] is even more costly, and in the first stage, Jiang Feng estimates that he can release it three times in a row at most.
Because of this, the innate law phase skill is the foundation that determines the actual combat strength of low-level demon cultivation, because the natal law phase comes with skills that usually consume very little spiritual power, such as "exquisite treasure light", Jiang Feng estimates that he can look at more than 100 pieces of collections, and he will not use up half of his spiritual power, this kind of natal law phase skill, every time he improves his cultivation to the level, he will comprehend one, but Jiang Feng's demon cultivator who forcibly improves his cultivation will comprehend it later, which is also an iron law that has been proven by the heads of the past dynasties.
However, Jiang Feng would not explicitly say that he bought it as an attack skill, grasping the weakness that this skill book had lost the advanced part and had little significance for long-term cultivation, he used eight hundred tributes to win this book.
Holding back the surprise in his heart, he turned around, and in another messy stall, Jiang Feng caught a glimpse of a sign that made him feel mixed feelings.
