Chapter 209: Sacrifice
The two galloped all the way, and after an hour, they came to a world of ice and snow. It's a cold, windy valley with no grass, the opposite of the woods that are full of life outside.
Think of this place as a quiet valley, the only difference is that it is so cold that the mountains turn into icebergs and the ground is covered with ice several feet thick.
"Giggle...... Senior brother, you said that the master is really practicing some kind of divine skill in this place for many years?" The man in white kept trembling, with his cultivation, he couldn't resist the cold of this place, and there were ice particles condensing on his eyebrows, which showed how cold it was in the ice valley.
"Yes, the master has great powers, and it is definitely not something that we can figure out, so let's hand this person over to the master first!" said the black-robed man with a solemn expression.
The two of them walked towards an entrance in the ice valley, which was filled with cold air, and both of them used their true qi to resist the cold entering their bodies. The road seemed to have no end, and I don't know how far they went, but their vision widened.
In front of them, ice pillars rose from the ground, and a trace of cold qi escaped from the ground, and some of the ice pillars were inserted upside down from above, as if forming a wonderful ice formation, freezing the place.
If a mortal comes here, he will turn into an ice sculpture in a few moments, and he will have no breath. Click! Click! A statue of ice suddenly trembled slightly in front of it, and from a distance it looked like a cow with only one horn, and the cow was lying on the ground, its mouth closed, like a cow resting on the ground.
However, the cow is quite large. It is by no means comparable to ordinary cows, just the mouth of the cow is about the size of a zhang, if the mouth of the cow is open. It can definitely swallow a person alive into the belly.
As the statue trembled slightly, the cow's mouth opened slightly, and then, a delicate figure walked out of it. This person is a woman, wearing a pale pink dress, long hair up to the waist, and her muscles are like condensation.
The moment I saw the person who came. The man in white and the man in black changed color in unison, and they all bowed their heads and said respectfully, "Senior Sister Su!"
"Why are you two here?" Senior Sister Su asked coldly, and there was a chill surging on her body as she spoke. A noble aura emerged, and ordinary people had already prostrated on the ground in the face of this woman's questioning, and they didn't dare to speak.
"We are...... It's ......" The man in white was speechless for a while.
Senior Sister Su frowned slightly: "Haochen, you come!" Her words were cold and did not contain a trace of human touch. There is a strong command tone in it.
The black-robed man named Haochen bowed his head and said, "The two of us specially prepared a high-grade sacrifice for the master. I'm sure he'll love it. ”
"Oh, is this the sacrifice you're talking about?" Senior Sister Su set her eyes on the shoulders of the man in white, carrying a delicate-looking young man who was in a coma at this time.
"It's this person. Haochen replied respectfully. Senior Sister Su's gaze circled over the white-clothed man's shoulders several times, and finally withdrew her gaze, she whispered, "Go in, remember not to offend the master." ”
"Thank you, Senior Sister Su. The two hurriedly thanked them, and Senior Sister Su ignored the two of them anymore and walked out. Her back looks like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, which makes people feel awe.
"Senior brother. Do you say that Senior Sister Su has already stepped into the Contemplation Realm, otherwise why do I feel terrified every time I meet her?" the man in white asked with palpitations.
Haochen shook his head and said, "With Senior Sister Su's talent, if she wanted to step into the Concentration Realm, she did it ten years ago, but she didn't do that, obviously she deliberately suppressed her cultivation. As for her purpose, I don't know. ”
"Okay, this matter is not for you to ask, and it is not for you and me to know, let's hand this person over to the master first. There was a hint of impatience between Haochen's eyebrows.
The man in white didn't ask any more questions, and the two walked towards the cow-shaped statue. There was also a trace of cold air escaping from the cow's mouth, and this cold air was even colder than the cold outside. Even this cold intent could faintly freeze the monk's soul, the two of them no longer hesitated, trembled, gritted their teeth, and stepped into the bull's mouth.
As soon as you step into it, the cold meaning pierces the bone marrow, this place is like a cold cellar, the cold air is pervasive, and ordinary people dare not stay here for long.
Even if the two brothers of Haochen were good at cultivating and were the best in the Three Flowers Realm, they still couldn't withstand the cold invasion here. Both of them couldn't stop trembling, with their weak True Qi cultivation, they couldn't completely resist the cold qi here, so they appeared like this.
When the two of them arrived, they fell to their knees on the ground, motionless, and they were more afraid of their master than the cold of this place.
Ten steps away in front of the two of them, there was an ice coffin, and the aura of decay, antiquity, and vicissitudes emanated from the ice coffin. It's like an ice coffin suppressing a demon of the world, and if it is released, it will definitely cause disaster.
After dozens of breaths, the boring, cold, and depressed feelings in the cold cellar surged on the two of Haochen, and just when they were about to take it anymore, a strange voice sounded.
"Sacrifice...... Not bad...... I accepted it for the teacher. The sound seemed to come out of nowhere, and it resounded throughout the cold cellar.
The sound was ethereal, as if it came from the Nine Heavens, and as the words fell, a green gourd suddenly appeared above the ice coffin. It is covered with strange lines, shining brightly.
The gourd is engraved with a pattern, and if you look closely, it looks like a cold pool, and the mist is filled, and the mist seems to be about to burst out of the gourd and float out of it. Suddenly, the mouth of the gourd was aimed at the ground, and the man in white had placed the man on his shoulder on the ground as he knelt on the ground.
At this moment, as soon as the gourd was aimed at the unconscious person on the ground, a suction force came out of the gourd. The glow of the gourd's mouth bloomed, like the eyes of a wise being, staring at the unconscious person on the ground.
A green light burst out from the gourd and shone on the unconscious person on the ground, who was none other than Yang Tian, who had broken into the door of life before. As soon as he stepped into the door of life, he fell into a coma, ignorant of the outside world, and even if he knew, he was powerless to resist.
As the green light shone on Yang Tian's body, his body actually began to shrink, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into an inch in size. Then, the shrunken Yang Tian turned into a streamer of light and headed towards the mouth of the gourd, disappearing in an instant, obviously being included in the green gourd.
Suddenly, two more streamers appeared, rushing out of the gourd, and two black rays of light headed towards Haochen and the others respectively. When the black light stayed in front of the two of them, their eyes widened, "This is...... Soul Refining Pill ......"
"Thank you, master, for the reward. The two hurriedly kowtowed and thanked each other, and they suppressed their excitement and thanked them over and over again.
"Okay, you guys stand down for now!" An ethereal sound came from the cold cellar again, although this sound cold, it was undoubtedly warm to Haochen and the others.
They nodded their heads and exited the icy cellar. After the two of them left this place, after a while, the ice coffin trembled slightly. With a click, the lid of the coffin lifted a corner, and a dry palm poked out from it, filled with black gas, and the palm seemed to contain endless changes.
The palm of his hand reached out slightly, holding the gourd in his hand, and in an instant, the palm of the hand was retracted again, and the lid of the coffin was closed, as if nothing had happened, only the cold was still escaping everywhere.
The ethereal voice of "Fruit of Life ......" came out again, this time with a hint of hope in the words, and the voice echoed for a long time, and finally dissipated.
"Senior brother, is this really a Soul Refining Pill?" Outside, at the entrance of the Ice Valley, the man in white asked in disbelief.
"This thing was given by the master, do you still doubt that the master will not succeed?" Haochen asked rhetorically.
"No...... It's not a suspicion, but that the Soul Refining Pill is such a precious thing, and when it is put in front of me all of a sudden, I can't believe it. The man in white waved his hand again and again, how dare he say something suspicious of his master.
"That's good, you have to know what kind of person the master is, the Soul Refining Pill may not be anything in his eyes. This pill is juxtaposed with the Yun Shen Pill, the only difference is that the Yun Shen Pill needs to be taken when it hits the bottleneck of condensation for the best effect, while the Soul Refining Pill needs to be taken in advance to nourish the Divine Soul, so as to increase the probability of impacting the Condensing Realm, we still take it first!" Haochen stared at the Soul Refining Pill in his hand, and a trace of heat appeared in his eyes. (To be continued......)
