"The True Scripture of Refining Ice" is a low-grade Xuan-level martial arts technique. Its only use before was to provide cover for Yi Ming's disguise as Zhang Daqian. Later, as Yi Ming's strength increased, the ranking of this martial arts technique in the martial arts list has gradually dropped to the point where it is almost invisible.
However, facing countless caterpillars at this moment, when the formation and sword techniques could not achieve the best effect, the importance of this technique was highlighted.
In fact, Yi Ming has another choice, which is to use the "Nanli True Art" with the Purple Yang Fire. However, this place is located in an underground cave, filled with water vapor and the air is cold. Using the "Ice Refining Sutra" will be twice the result with half the effort. If they are near the underground fire veins at this time, they can use fire-based exercises.
From this we can see that having many skills is always a burden, and having one more skill can still play a big role at a critical moment.
With a wave of his hand, countless cold waves scattered. Although there was no ice magic weapon, those caterpillars were not powerful beasts and did not need the blessing of magic weapons. Under Yi Ming's cold wave, those caterpillars gradually became hard, moved slower and slower, and finally turned into ice sculptures.
Yi Ming was emitting cold air all over, like an ice man, drifting around in the cave, freezing all the insects in one area, and then moving on to the next area.
Bei Xueqing and Luo Shi of course also noticed Yi Ming's actions. Bei Xueqing narrowed her eyes slightly, and Luo Shi was also quite surprised. They had never thought that Yi Ming could actually use ice-based skills?
Yi Ming and the other two frowned and looked into the depths of the cave.
The correct content is in %六九% book'bar!
Not to mention the ice-type skills he just showed, which were at least three times more efficient than Bei Xueqing in killing caterpillars, just the fact that he had the Soul Gathering Cave and the invincible breath-concealing invisibility technique, the three of them would not be in any danger unless the Golden Core Ancestor showed up. Even Zhao Yu couldn't boast about this, but Yi Ming could do it. How terrifying is that! Let's get back to the point. They were not out of danger yet.
“Chichi!”
"So, all the Shensanlu in this cave is ours!"
"I thought they would all riot, but instead they all ran away." Yi Ming lowered his body and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, all the caterpillars present seemed to pause, and then they scattered rapidly one by one, drilled into the cracks in the underground cave, and disappeared.
There are 10,000 yellow-grade lower-quality caterpillars here. How could there not be higher-grade ferocious beasts?
Bei Xueqing and Luo Shi gradually approached and began to try to gather the caterpillars together. After the caterpillars gathered, they floated away. Then it was Yi Ming's turn. The area within dozens of feet was filled with freezing air, freezing all the caterpillars into ice sculptures.
Of course caterpillars cannot make any sound. The ones that can make sound are of course other ferocious beasts. However, Yi Ming and Bei Xueqing were actually mentally prepared for this.
"I'll do it." Bei Xueqing pointed her sword and combined her body with the sword, transforming into a pure white sword light. It crossed a distance of hundreds of feet and suddenly appeared above the head of the Caterpillar King.
She might not be able to handle a large-scale group attack, but she has never been afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight! The sword slashed down, and the golden spikes on the caterpillar king were dyed with white light. Its simple brain felt a threat of death.
A cultivator will encounter many extreme situations during his life of cultivation and travel. Who would seek out various different techniques to assist in cultivation for fear of encountering various extreme situations?
"The auxiliary skill I've learned is only of the lower Xuan level. I was worried that I would be helpless in some situations. So I used it today, didn't I?" Yi Ming said with a smile.
He is an expert in both alchemy and weapons, and also practices sword formations. But now it seems that Yi Ming is practicing quite a few techniques at the same time. Where did he get so many techniques? How did he manage to practice them as one? Where does he get the energy to practice them all at the same time?
Soon, after Yi Ming froze some more caterpillars, he saw a flash of snow-white sword light from the corner of his eye, and the caterpillar king covered with golden spikes was cut into two pieces.
"Brother Yi, be careful, it's an early Xuan-level bug!" Luo Shi said anxiously.
Bei Xueqing is the prodigy of this generation in Jinghu Palace. Now she has advanced to the middle stage of Ningyuan. If she can't even deal with a low-level bug, then Jinghu Palace should be disbanded as soon as possible.
By the way, don’t you have caterpillars to transition between mid-level and late-level yellow?
"Can't bear it anymore?" Yi Ming thought to himself.
In the underground cave, all caterpillars have green bodies with gray spikes. Only this one caterpillar that just appeared is not bigger than the others, but its spikes are not gray, but golden. However, when this caterpillar king appeared and exploded with spikes all over his body, Yi Ming was still surprised, "Early Xuan level?"
Yi Ming glanced around the underground cave. The area within a hundred feet around him had turned into ice and snow. Indeed, thousands of insects had died in his hands.
Not to mention having seen him before, the two had never heard of anyone with such a strong sense of crisis before.
Among a group of yellow-level early stage caterpillars, there is actually a black-level early stage caterpillar king?
After just a glance over there, Yi Ming quickly withdrew his gaze. After Bei Xueqing took action, he no longer cared about the caterpillar king.
The caterpillar king who could make sounds shook all over, and a circle of golden light enveloped his body. Then, a laser-like attack that was brighter and stronger than other caterpillars rushed towards Bei Xueqing.
"Hmph!" Bei Xueqing snorted coldly, and the flying sword turned and twisted, shattering the laser.
Combined with the water vapor and cold air in the underground cave, the "Ice Refining Sutra" was able to be used with twice the result with half the effort and was extremely cost-effective. In a short time, nearly a thousand caterpillars were cleared away, and Yi Ming's expression remained unchanged, obviously he still had some strength to spare.
“Chichi!”
Fortunately, I am one level higher than you, otherwise, wouldn’t I be overwhelmed if you and your group of younger brothers rushed in?
"This is the best. I saw caterpillars constantly coming out of the cracks in the ground. We killed one or two thousand, but the number of living caterpillars increased instead." Luo Shi said.
Yi Ming's eyes sparkled. He could see clearly that this cave was much larger than the side cave they had encountered before. It was several hundred feet in radius. There were three other stalagmites similar to the one they had just faced. There was also a small puddle under the stalagmites, filled with the lower-grade Xuan-level Shenmulberry Dew.
Yi Ming can be said to have refreshed Bei Xueqing and Luo Shi's views on life. But how should I put it? Although Yi Ming can be quite speechless sometimes, being with such a person does give them a strong sense of security.
"Brother Yi, I really can't see through you any more." Luo Shi said in surprise.
So Yi Ming is still wandering around, harvesting waves of caterpillars.
"Here!" Yi Ming saw the caterpillar king at a glance.
Whether it is the Caterpillar King or some other ferocious beast that feeds on caterpillars, it definitely exists. The only thing we don’t know is what it is, where it is hiding, whether it will come out, and when it will come out.
Since it hasn't appeared for such a long time, it is most likely a caterpillar king. If it was a ferocious beast that feeds on caterpillars, it would have jumped out long ago after seeing Yi Ming and the other two wasting its food.
In other words, they harvested a total of four bowls of Xuan-level divine mulberry dew!
"I'm rich!" Yi Ming nodded and said affirmatively.
"I'm rich!" Luo Shi said happily. This was the first time she had gained so many good things.
"We've made a fortune." Even Bei Xueqing couldn't help but agree.
