After the purple mist of light disappeared, a thirty-meter-tall black of purple ice was revealed, sealing the Ice Fiend within it. The violent winds surrounding the beast had slowly subsided, and the block of ice crashed to the ground shortly thereafter.
To the side, Bai Yaoyi came to her senses after being stunned by the entire affair. She summoned a large hand of white Qi to lift the ice to her.
“Many thanks, Brother Han! I’ll take you up on your offer!” Bai Yaoyi sweetly smiled at Han Li and she flicked her ringer, producing a sparkling black spirit beast pouch.
She tossed the bag into the air and a mist flew out from it, wrapping around the huge block of ice and drawing into the pouch.
Seeing Bai Yaoyi’s satisfied expression, Han Li smiled and pointed to the Six-winged Frost Centipedes circling in the air. With a series of hisses, the centipedes let out balls of icy mist and instantly disappeared.
Bai Yaoyi was startled by the sight of this, but Han Li soon explained, “While I use the Profound Ice Flower to refine medicine, I don’t want any low-grade demon beasts to disturb us. The centipedes will be protecting us nearby."
Bai Yaoyi sweetly smiled and nodded.
The two soon flew down the huge ravine in streaks of light.
The ravine was pitch-black. Apart from icy winds continuously circling the two, it was reminiscent of the two entering the Yin Yang Cave over ten years ago.
But when they quickly arrived at the bottom, the crystalline walls of the ravine could be seen. They were formed from profound ice, suitable materials for ice-attributed magic tools. However, only myriad year profound ice could be considered a rare, top-grade tool refinement material.
Ordinary profound ice was beneath the notice of the two Nascent Soul cultivators.
But when the two arrived at the very end of the ravine, they spotted a crystal vein that emitted a white light. Although it was jagged, there was a point on it that was clearly myriad year Profound Ice.
Han Li’s eyes then focused on the three white flowers on the wall.
These small flowers were only the size of a fist and appeared to be common wildflowers. But their roots were dug into the myriad year profound ice and faint icy Qi continuously roamed around it.
“Three Profound Ice Flowers. This should be enough,” Han Li muttered.
“There is quite a bit of myriad year profound ice here. It appears that disciple made quite an accomplishment. I’ll have to make sure he is rewarded.” Bai Yaoyi examined the profound ice and wore a smile.
Han Li then turned to Bai Yaoyi and said, “I will be plucking the flowers immediately for pill concoction. I’ve already prepared the other materials. Will Fairy Bai be returning first?”
With some thought, she said with a warm tone, “How long will Brother Han need to refine the pills. Would it be better for me to take a look at our surroundings? We aren’t far from North Night Valley. With the appearance of the grade-seven Ice Fiend, I feel somewhat ill at ease. I’ll be taking this opportunity to look around.”
After a short pause, Han Li gave a word of warning, “That would be good. Be careful!”
“Don’t worry, I’m only doing this in case of contingencies. The grade seven Ice Fiend most likely came into the ravine unintentionally. This hadn’t happened before. I’ll be taking off!” Bai Yaoyi pursed her lips into a bewitching smile and streaked into the air.
Chapter 1088: Two Demons
When Bai Yaoyi left his sight, Han Li looked back down and observed the three Profound Ice Flowers.
After some contemplation, he slapped his storage pouch and summoned a dozen various colored streaks, attaching themselves into the surrounding crystal walls. A blue mist then completely enveloped the vicinity.
With that done, buzzing shook the air as a swarm of golden beetles flew out from Han Li’s body, disappearing into the mist as specks of light.
So long as nothing particularly powerful approached, the mist should be able to protect him as he refined the Profound Ice Pill.
Feeling at ease, Han Li raised his hand and summoned a fist-sized cauldron that sparkled with silver light. As it floated in front of him, he summoned a variety of wooden boxes and small bottles from his storage pouch onto the ground.
He then changed his focus to the three flowers.
He waved his sleeve, producing three golden streaks that wound around the flowers, carving out the myriad year profound ice they were attached to.
He then pointed to the ground and three foot-long jade boxes warped out from sight and oddly reappeared below the three flowers.
Seeing that the flowers were gathered without a problem, he formed a hand gesture with a satisfied expression on his face. He then launched a series of spell seals into the blue mist surrounding him. The mist roiled around him and massively expanded, soon submerging the entire ravine from sight.
Apart from the icy winds whistling in the ravine, there was only silence.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The blue mist was exceptionally dense at the bottom of the ravine and showed no signs of dissolving.
Then, light flashed from the distant sky and three streaks arrived at great speed, appearing before the ravine in only a moment.
The streak of silver light at the front of the three appeared dim as if its owner had been injured.
The red and green lights following it appeared dazzling and overbearing.
It was clear the silver light was being pursued.
The silver light faded to reveal a gorgeous white-robed woman. Her complexion was pale and a layer of faint green Qi covered her. She was Bai Yaoyi who had last been seen three days ago.
She had somehow encountered mishaps and had been pursued until now. Her bodies were also under the effects of a vicious poison that even a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't resist.
When she arrived above the ravine, she quickly looked down and saw a roiling blue mist. She let out a sigh, relieved by the sight.
At that moment, the red and green lights pursuing her were only a few hundred meters away. A man’s voice spoke from the green light, “What? You’ve decided to stop running, knowing how badly you’re poisoned? If you’ve decided to forfeit your life, then this lord won’t hesitate to take it!” The tone of the voice was sinister and harsh.
Bai Yaoyi coldly snorted and dived into the ravine, paying no attention to them. With several silver flashes, she vanished.
The two streaks of light rushed to the opening of the ravine, and the figure of a man and a woman can be glimpsed from within them.
The two looked down at the blue mist with some hesitation.
The two were metamorphosed demon beasts with fully awakened intelligence no lesser than that of a human.
They were bewildered as to why Bai Yaoyi stopped running and decided to hide in the restrictions below.
Just as the two through to use their spiritual sense to explore below them, white mist rolled around them, following the appearance of a dozen snow-white winged insects, all possessing a sinister appearance.
“Six-winged Frost Centipedes!” The woman within the red light trembled as she shouted with joy.
“Those are Six-winged Frost Centipedes?” The man in the green light shouted.
“That’s great! So long as we can devour these insects, we’ll be able to massively boost our cultivation through Yin Yang Convergence!” The woman bellowed with hoarse laughter and her body burst in flames, releasing a dozen fire serpents.
They were each a foot-long and each of them had wings on their backs. With flames trailing from their mouths, they aggressively pounced towards the centipedes.
For a time, flames and icy Qi clashed, producing deafening explosions.
At that moment, the red light disappeared to reveal the woman’s full appearance.
