Chapter 497: Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice, Ultimate Cold Marrow

"This is... Ten thousand year old black ice!"

Chen Xuan looked at the huge piece of ice under the snow and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Ten Thousand Years of Xuanbing!

This is the favorite thing of ice-attributed cultivators and monsters.

Although Chen Xuan himself cannot use this ten thousand year old black ice, it is of great help to the Ice and Fire Dragon.

As for this piece of ten thousand year old black ice, it was hidden under a layer of ice and snow. If the Red-tailed Scorpion King had not gone deep underground, no one would have discovered it.

"Squeak!"

The red-tailed scorpion king crawled out from the ground, shaking its head and screaming at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan understood what the Red Tailed Scorpion King meant. He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I know you found this piece of ten thousand year old black ice. However, it is not an easy task to take it out."

As Chen Xuan spoke, he immediately summoned all the monsters.

Let them work together and start digging the ten thousand year old black ice.

After a full hour, the thick layer of ice and snow was completely removed.

A piece of thousand-year-old black ice that was hundreds of feet in size finally revealed its true appearance.

When Chen Xuan saw this, he disappeared immediately.

When it appeared again, it was already above the ten thousand year old black ice.

An extremely dense and terrifying cold air rushed towards Chen Xuan at a rapid speed.

In just a moment, Chen Xuan was shivering from the cold.

"As expected of this Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice, this terrifying coldness is really terrifying. Even a cultivator like me in the middle stage of Jindan cannot resist the coldness emitted by the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice for even a moment."

Chen Xuan sighed softly.

As he spoke, he immediately activated the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sword.

boom!

Eighteen ancient dragon-subduing swords came out one after another.

He bombarded the ten thousand year old black ice violently.

After half a cup of tea, the ten thousand year old black ice was separated by Chen Xuan.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to put this piece of ten thousand year old black ice into the Beast Taming Tower, he discovered that at the bottom of the ten thousand year old black ice, there was an extremely strange layer of something like transparent jade, hanging below the ten thousand year old black ice.

"Is this... cold marrow?"

After a moment, Chen Xuan recognized the origin of the transparent jade-like object and was extremely excited.

Cold marrow!

This is something that can only be found in the ten thousand year old black ice.

Cold marrow is not only an extremely rare material for alchemy, but also a very rare material for refining weapons.

There are even some cultivators who practice special techniques and use cold marrow to temper their bodies.

In terms of the purity of the cold air, it is far superior to the ten thousand year old black ice.

For example, the piece of ten thousand year old ice that Chen Xuan dug out at this moment was nearly one hundred square in size.

The cold air emitted from this piece of ten thousand year old ice is equivalent to the cold air emitted from a thumb-sized piece of cold marrow.

“I never thought that cold marrow could be produced in this piece of ten thousand year old ice. It seems that the ice and snow layer in this cloud and snow mountain has existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years.”

Chen Xuan looked very happy.

He carefully took out a jade bottle and scraped off the cold marrow.

After a busy work, Chen Xuan collected seven or eight bottles of cold marrow, and then he contentedly put the ten thousand year old black ice into the Beast Taming Tower.

"This time, the harvest is greater than what I have gained in recent days."

Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

After putting away the jade bottle containing the cold marrow in his hand, he led his group of monsters and rushed towards the place where the snow crystal fruit was.

After more than two hours, Chen Xuan successfully found Master Lei Yun and others.

Seeing Chen Xuan returning, everyone looked overjoyed.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen, you are finally here. If you don't come back, we are all going to look for you."

Master Leiyun looked at Chen Xuan and greeted him happily.

"Thank you all for your concern. I am safe and sound. I wonder if Fairy Mingyue has picked the snow crystal fruit?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chen. I have already picked the Snow Crystal Fruits. Everyone can get several." Fairy Mingyue said with a smile.

Chen Xuan nodded and looked at Master Lei Yun.

When Master Lei Yun saw Chen Xuan return safely, his aura was stable. He didn't look like he had just experienced a great battle. He immediately smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, we were able to pick the snow crystal fruit this time, thanks to you for leading away the four snow beasts. However, those snow beasts are not easy to deal with. We should hurry up and leave, lest the four snow beasts come back and kill us."

Chen Xuan heard this but did not explain.

Together with everyone, we walked quickly towards the depths of Handuo Canyon.

After waiting for only a few hours, everyone finally stopped in a valley that could barely shelter from the wind and snow.

hum!

Master Leiyun waved his hand and created a protective light shield that enveloped everything.

The sky was filled with snow and wind, and we were isolated in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Fairy Mingyue quickly took out a storage bag without being urged by anyone.

"My fellow Taoists, I have picked a total of 28 snow crystal fruits this time. If I want to divide them equally, it will naturally be impossible."

"But if we give more to a certain Taoist friend, everyone will think it's unfair. I wonder what your opinions are?"

As she spoke, Fairy Mingyue took out all the snow crystal fruits.

Twenty-eight fist-sized, crystal clear snow crystal fruits were fully presented in front of everyone.

A cold air also emanated from the snow crystal fruit.

Seeing this, everyone showed a look of joy.

"Haha, let's not worry about anything else. We will take out twenty-five of the twenty-eight snow crystal fruits and share them equally among everyone. As for the remaining three snow crystal fruits, we will auction them on the spot, and whoever offers the highest price will get them. We will share the spirit stones from the sale of the snow crystal fruits equally among everyone. How do you think?" Qing Yunzi said with a smile.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

This method has the best of both worlds.

This is much better than everyone turning against each other for three snow crystal fruits.

"I have no objection."

"I have no objection either."

"I agree."

Soon, after everyone expressed their opinions, they began to distribute the snow crystal fruit according to Qing Yunzi's method.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, everyone divided the twenty-five snow crystal fruits into five portions.

Although the sizes of snow crystal fruits vary.

But the total value is not far apart.

Chen Xuan also secretly sighed that if these old monsters in the Jindan stage started to haggle over trivial matters, they would be really scary.

Even something as difficult to divide equally as the Snow Crystal Fruit, they were able to distribute it accurately.

"Haha, fellow Taoists, now that the Snow Crystal Fruit has been divided up, I will take my share first."

Master Lei Yun laughed and waved his hand to collect a portion of snow crystal fruit.

Seeing this, Qing Yunzi and Yan Hongzhi also put away their own portions of snow crystal fruit.

When it was Chen Xuan and Fairy Mingyue's turn, Chen Xuan looked at Fairy Mingyue with a smile.

"Fairy, you pick first!"

"This……"

Fairy Mingyue was stunned.

But her heart was as clear as a mirror.

Don’t underestimate the two pieces of snow crystal fruit in front of you, as they seem to be of average value.

But if you really get serious, you can tell the good from the bad.

Master Lei Yun and others rushed to pick out their own portion of snow crystal fruit.

Naturally, I picked the best and put it in my pocket.

When it came to Chen Xuan and Fairy Mingyue's turn for the remaining two portions, they actually suffered a small loss.

However, Chen Xuan didn't care at all.

He actually gave the opportunity to choose in advance to Fairy Mingyue.

"Fairy, there's no need to be modest. You can choose first."

Chen Xuan urged with a smile.

Fairy Mingyue smiled gratefully and put away her portion of Snow Crystal Fruit.

Chen Xuan had no choice but to wave his hand and put away the last portion of snow crystal fruit.

As for the remaining three snow crystal fruits, they instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Fellow Daoists, let's start bidding. The highest bidder will get these three snow crystal fruits."

"I'll make a sample first, two hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

After Master Lei Yun explained, he was the first to quote a price.

Two hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones!

Compared with the price of three snow crystal fruits, this price is really ridiculously low.

When everyone saw this, they all secretly sneered at Master Leiyun's cunningness.

However, none of the Jindan stage experts present were willing to suffer a loss.

Soon, Qing Yunzi directly said: "Four hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"

Yan Hongzhi had a calm expression, but a hint of greed flashed across his eyes as he looked at the Snow Crystal Fruit.

"Six hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

When it was Fairy Mingyue's turn, she smiled gently.

"I will not participate."

Seeing this, Chen Xuan also smiled and said, "I already have five snow crystal fruits. These three snow crystal fruits are of little significance to me. So, I will not participate."

Seeing that Chen Xuan and Fairy Mingyue had withdrawn from the competition, Master Leiyun and the other two were all secretly ecstatic.

Soon, the three of them raised the value of the three snow crystal fruits to two hundred medium-grade spirit stones.

In the end, it was bought by Yan Hongzhi at the price of four million medium-grade spirit stones.

As for the spirit stones obtained from the sale of the snow crystal fruit, they were divided equally among Chen Xuan and the other three.

Next, everyone continued on their journey.

There is danger everywhere in the Handuo Canyon.

The further you go inside, the more powerful monsters you will find.

There was even one time when Chen Xuan and his companions mistakenly entered the territory of a demon beast in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Fortunately, the Ice and Fire Dragon gave an advance warning and everyone escaped in time.

Otherwise, Chen Xuan and others would probably become blood food of this middle Nascent Soul stage monster.

However, there is still no news about the Beiming Cold Spring that everyone is eagerly looking forward to finding.

This made everyone look disappointed.

"Did we go in the wrong direction? Is there really no Beiming Cold Spring in this Hantuo Canyon?"

"Yes, we have been walking for such a long time. We can't even find the shadow of Beiming Cold Spring. This is enough to prove that Beiming Cold Spring is not here at all."

"It is said that the North Sea Cold Spring exists under ten thousand years of ice and snow. There is ten thousand years of ice and snow everywhere here. Where can we find it?"

For a moment, everyone was dejected.

Only Chen Xuan looked calm, staring at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, why don't you speak?"

Master Lei Yun looked at Chen Xuan and asked curiously.

"Haha, I was also wondering, we haven't encountered Bei Ming Han Quan for such a long time, is there really something wrong?"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were all on him, Chen Xuan said, "In fact, we have been looking for the North Sea Cold Spring, but we were looking for it on the ice and snow layer. But since the North Sea Cold Spring is under the ten thousand year old ice and snow, we should naturally look for it under the ice and snow layer."

"In this way, our speed of progress will be a little slower. But if we find the law of the North Sea Cold Spring, it will definitely increase a lot."
