Anyway, it can't get out and doesn't pose any threat. Apart from swearing and annoying people, it doesn't cause any actual harm.

Kong Ju was in a very good mood after obtaining the Xuanwu furnace.

He quickly cheered up and sat cross-legged on the bed to start practicing tonight.

He planned to consolidate his cultivation, so he went to the mountains behind Lingzhufang City and found a place to absorb the Yuehua Yinshuang.

"The breakthrough to the fetal light is just around the corner." Kong Ju's eyes were bright, and he silently added in his heart: "There is also the earth-level foundation."

Lingzhu Market is not big, and most of the independent cultivators in the market are gossipy.

Any bit of gossip can spread to every corner of the market like the wind.

It is even more impossible to conceal the important information that the two imperial guards commanders Niu Fan and Lan Chi came to the city.

Therefore, the fact that the two commanders called Kong Ju "Master Bingpo" spread throughout the market overnight from the mouths of several casual cultivators who passed by that day.

The next day, almost all the cultivators in the market knew that the young man in Lingzhu Market, who used the alias Zong Changsong and often liked to go to the teahouse to drink tea and the tavern to drink alcohol, was actually called Kong Ju.

He was the Master Bingpo who calmly retreated from the siege of the four great armies of the imperial dynasty three months ago.

"Zong Changsong is Young Master Bingpo? That's impossible. I've seen him several times in the tavern, and I didn't sense the aura of a strong man from him at all."

Naturally, there were also people who were familiar with Kong Ju and expressed doubts about the news.

After all, it was difficult for them to connect the young man who was idle in Lingzhufang City all day with the now famous Master Bingpo.

The aura of a strong man can be identified at a glance, and he would never be as easy-going as Zong Changsong.

"Oh, Master Bingpo's cultivation is unfathomable. How can a cultivator like you who cultivates the wheels of cultivation understand that? The two commanders of the Imperial Guards who fought with Master Bingpo have personally admitted it. Could it be false?"

"Have you forgotten that Lord Wen came to our Lingzhu Market a while ago? He might have come just for Master Bingpo."

In the face of irrefutable evidence, the voices of doubt disappeared.

People suddenly remembered the thrilling battle outside Lingzhufang Market a few days ago.

That night, the temperature around Lingzhufang City suddenly dropped, and even the braziers in the house were extinguished by the cold.

It is vaguely similar to the ice and snow magical powers that Young Master Bingpo is rumored to have displayed.

The monks in the market town began to doubt whether it was Kong Ju who took action that night.

According to the news from the Quanzhou garrison, that night, the witch cultivators from Gujiang invaded Quanzhou, with a total of one Youjing and two Taiguang.

With this situation, it is possible to capture the small prefecture of Quanzhou.

But I don't want them all to die overnight.

The heads of the leading powerful ghosts were chopped off.

The sudden appearance of so many imperial guards in Quanzhou was caused by that incident.

"If those witch cultivators were really killed by Master Bingpo, then his strength is probably even more terrifying than the rumors say."

The monks were secretly horrified.

Of course, these are just speculations.

After all, the only people who witnessed the battle were Mansion Master Wen and Wen Hongzhu, and neither of them were talkative people.

However, with the witches disturbing Tianqi, the cultivators in Lingzhu Market feel a lot more at ease with the presence of Young Master Bingpo in charge.

It is difficult for independent cultivators to protect themselves if they encounter a major disaster without the protection of a sect.

So, the next day after Niu Fan and the other imperial guards commanders left.

Outside the Green Bamboo Courtyard, casual cultivators began to appear one after another, wanting to pay a visit to this genius from Wudong.

Most of the gifts prepared were not mundane items, but were meant to leave an impression so that Master Bingpo could help them when they encountered disasters in the future.

After all, even the imperial guards have arrived in Quanzhou now, and the situation looks uncertain, so most of the independent cultivators are also worried.

However, while the visitors gathered outside the Green Bamboo Courtyard and were waiting, it was not Kong Ju who came to greet them.

Instead, she was a woman wearing a plain long dress, with a good-looking face and a wild temperament rarely seen among Tianqi monks.

Zaifu Qiaoqiao was being polite. If Kong Ju hadn't asked her to be polite in advance, she would have probably started to scold him.

Given the way she behaved in Gujiang, these Yanglun monks didn't even have the qualifications to say a word to her.

The wandering cultivators were not willing to return empty-handed, and they all said they could leave their gifts and come back again when Master Bingpo came out of seclusion.

However, Zai Fu Qiaoqiao gave him a sidelong glance, and his aura burst out, shocking the wandering cultivators standing outside the Qingzhu courtyard so much that their faces turned pale.

"Raise the wheel!"

"Mr. Bingpo's maids are all fetal lights, how strong is he!"

The wandering cultivators dared not stay any longer and immediately dispersed.

The Shenglun realm is not considered a world-shaking power in the eyes of major sects such as Tianquan Sword Sect and Shangzong Temple.

But among the independent cultivators here, he is considered a top-notch expert.

The scattered cultivators scattered like birds and beasts. A young monk walked out of the green bamboo courtyard and said to Zaifu Qiaoqiao in a gentle voice, "Zaifu, you can actually persuade him with kind words."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"My son is so noble, how can these opportunistic people see him?"

Zai Fuqiao glanced at Cong Yun and spoke politely because of his good relationship with Kong Ju.

After saying this, he returned to the small bamboo courtyard.

Zaifu Qiaoqiao is only respectful and docile in front of Kong Ju. If it were someone else, she would still be the Gujiang witch who came out of the Black Snake Tribe.

This is a small hill hidden behind two mountains.

The two big mountains ahead were covered in silver trees and already covered with heavy snow, creating a pure scene in sight.

This hill is also covered with snow.

The newly excavated cave is located in the hidden hillside of the hill.

Two tall figures, wrapped in black clothes with only a pair of eyes exposed, stood on both sides of the cave.

Through the slight gaps in the black cloth that covered their faces, one could see that one of them had a purple face, while the other had a dark yellow face.

The two men were indifferent to the biting cold around them. They just stood on the snow, still covered by the heavy snow, without moving at all.

Inside the cave, Kong Ju, who had been sitting cross-legged on the cold and hard straw mat all night, finally opened his eyes.

After one night, he finally adjusted his cultivation to the peak.

“It’s time to start!”

With a low murmur, a smile appeared in his pupils. He flipped his hand and took out the jade box with exquisite carvings from the Qiankun bag.

He carefully opened the jade box, revealing just a crack.

The black frost spread out from the hole impatiently, freezing the entire jade box in an instant.

When Kong Jue touched the jade box with his palm, he immediately felt an extremely cold energy surging and covering his entire palm.

"Hmph!" Kong Ju snorted with a normal expression. He did not stop his actions but opened the jade box completely.

Swish! The temperature in the cave, which was already as cold as an ice cellar, suddenly dropped sharply.

The bone-chilling cold poured out, and Kong Ju was the first to be hit, with his entire body covered in black frost as fine as hair.

But as his body shook slightly, frosty white spiritual power burst out, and the frost immediately melted away.

"The death energy of the Moonlight Frost is too strong, overshadowing the power of frost and snow in the essence of heaven and earth. Fortunately, this death energy can also be used as a means of attack. Under certain conditions, it may be more difficult to defend against than the essence of frost and snow."

Kong Ju looked at the fist-sized ball of black ice in the jade box, his eyes filled with eagerness to try.

It has been nearly a year since he broke through to the peak of the Xuan level, and he is looking forward to absorbing the Moonlight Frost as soon as possible.

Now I am finally getting what I want.
