Treasure Hunt in Ice Cave, 100,000 Years of Mysterious Cold Ice

When the Zhang family's flying boat sailed far away, Qin Ruqing and the other two jumped down from the tree and jumped into their own flying boat.

Qin Dexin glanced at them, mainly at Qin Ruqing, "You're sneaking around, why didn't you come down just now?"

Qin Ruqing didn't blush or feel nervous, and shook her head and said, "If I go down early, what if they recognize me? It's better to be cautious."

This little girl, the Qin family hid her like a treasure, who can recognize her, unless...

Qin Dexin curled her lips and teased, "Did they recognize you as Fairy Qing'er?"

Qin Ruqing immediately raised her face and giggled, "Ha, that's right, the troubles of celebrities~"

Qin Dexin was joking at first, but seeing that the little girl was really out of breath, she shook her head helplessly. Looking at the direction where the Zhang family left, he changed the topic, "What did you and the ancestor do to Zhang Li?"

The little girl came up with a plan and conspired with the ancestor for a long time. Moreover, the ancestor's attitude at the clan meeting was clearly to kill Zhang Li, but somehow he let him go. No one would believe that there was no problem.

Qi Rong and Lu Wei beside him also pricked up their ears.

Qin Ruqing pretended to be stupid: "What tricks, didn't they carry Zhang Li away for no reason?" Qin

Dexin stretched out his finger and flicked Qin Ruqing's head, "Playing tricks with your third aunt, huh?"

Oh my god, so good, no wonder the third sister regards the third aunt as an idol all day long.

Qin Ruqing touched his head and said, "It's just feeding some things... but they are all good things. The Zhang family should be grateful that I value them so much."

Qin Dexin did not comment. If she was confident that she could conceal the truth, she must be a good thing. This girl is full of tricks. Even to her, she was vague and refused to speak clearly.

However, this is also good. Many geniuses died because of frivolity. Only geniuses who can survive are qualified to talk about other things.

Then she said, "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it... By the way, your ice cave, the family has already arranged a defense array, go and have a look when you have time."

"Really!" Qin Ruqing's eyes

lit up, "This place is not far from the ice cave, Third Aunt, let's go now!" Qin Dexin said, "The Zhang family moved ten miles back from the border, and I still have a lot of things to deal with, you go." She looked at Qirong again and warned him, "Qirong, follow Qingqing well, don't run around."

Although Qirong is the elder brother, he is just the Qin family... Who dares to treat Qin Ruqing as a child now?

Qirong nodded heavily, and Lu Wei spontaneously summoned her big alchemy furnace. The three of them climbed onto the alchemy furnace, greeted Qin Dexin, and walked away slowly.

Qin Dexin put her hands behind her back and looked at the three figures with a complicated expression.

The speed at which Qin Ruqing, this little girl, rose was beyond her imagination. She had watched her grow up. She had begun to show her extraordinaryness when Yang Ling was detected as a Taoist body, but at that time, she only thought she was smart. Qirong was close to her again, and she thought it would be better for Qirong to play with the children of the first wife than with Lu Xuan of the second wife, so she agreed.

But she didn't expect that Yang Ling was just the beginning. The growth rate of this girl was beyond everyone's imagination. The "smartness" that was thought at the beginning, now seems to be an understatement. It should be said that she is so smart that she is almost a demon, and her comprehension is extraordinary.

The first wife has gone from being weak to being a force that no one dares to underestimate. This should be related to the step-by-step strategy of this girl.

The ancestor thought so highly of her and allowed her to enter the meeting hall. Behind this, it should be more than just her talent that he thought highly of her...

Unconsciously, Qin Dexin also slowly adjusted his attitude: If the original reason for letting Qirong follow Qingqing was to find a playmate for Qirong, now it is... Qingqing, that girl, has already soared to the sky, and Qirong is following her and is her closest partner. His future should not be bad, right?

When thinking of this, Qin Dexin smiled self-deprecatingly. Adults are always utilitarian, and the relationship between the three children is much purer than they think.

Then he retracted his gaze, turned the flying boat, and ordered: "Let's go."

After Zhang Lie went back, he should soon bring "good news", and then there will be another storm.

-This

room, Qin Ruqing gave the direction, and the three of them sat on the alchemy furnace and came to the front of the Mirror Lake.

"It's here, the ice cave is at the bottom of the Mirror Lake."

"At the bottom of the lake!" Qi Rong jumped off the alchemy furnace and exclaimed, "Such a strange place, how did you find it, sister?"

Qin Ruqing said, "Of course, it's my intelligence."

Lu Wei smiled, and a tribe member on duty came over and saluted Qin Ruqing first, saying, "Fifth Miss, the formation has been arranged, and the tribe has arranged another entrance, so you don't have to dive from the lake."

His attitude was very respectful, as if he was reporting matters to the elders.

Qin Ruqing put his hands behind his back and hummed, "Take us to the entrance."

The man led them to a faintly glowing formation, "This is a simple teleportation formation. Stepping into the formation will lead you directly into the ice cave." He bowed again and left.

Qirong grinned, "Wow, sister, everyone in the clan respects you so much now."

He was just simply amazed. Lu Wei, seeing Qin Ruqing pursed her lips and smiled, not intending to say more, took the initiative to explain to her: "The ancestor asked to allow Xiaowu to enter the meeting hall as an exception, which means that Xiaowu has the qualifications to discuss matters that only deputy elders can have. The people in the clan are smart and naturally begin to change their attitudes."

Qin Ruqing raised her chin and let Qirong step into the formation first. After watching him disappear, she turned to look at Lu Wei, curled her lips and smiled, and said: "Will the third sister be jealous?"

She asked bluntly.

Lu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed too. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of pride: "Xiaowu is excellent, go ahead, I will try my best to catch up."

"If I can catch up, I will hold the sword in front to break the formation and kill the enemy for my younger brothers and sisters and the clan members."

"What if I can't catch up?" Qin Ruqing asked.

"If I can't catch up, I will help my brothers and sisters and cover the rear. I have my own place."

Qin Ruqing smiled, said nothing more, took Lu Wei's hand, and the two stepped into the formation together.

Qirong was already standing in the cave, hugging his arms, and exclaimed: "This place feels completely different from the stalactite cave."

Qin Ruqing: "Of course it's different, you feel it carefully, is there an inexplicable energy here that can drive the circulation of spiritual energy."

Qirong felt it and nodded heavily: "Really!"

"It is said that the ten thousand year old black ice can calm the mind and assist cultivation. Now it seems to be true. I haven't even started to meditate yet, but my spiritual energy is already running on its own." Lu Wei's voice was full of surprise.

Qin Ruqing said nothing and walked straight inside. Seeing her looking around, Lu Wei asked, "Xiao Wu, what are you looking for?"

"The ancestor told me that in a cave of ten thousand years of cold black ice, there is a small chance of 100,000-year-old black ice. 100,000-year-old black ice is the top-grade material for refining instruments."

Lu Wei listened to the words and immediately thought of something, nodding, "Indeed, Xiao Wu, you are a magic cultivator. When you build your foundation, you should choose a life-long magic weapon for yourself. Now is the time to collect materials."

"Sister, what are the characteristics? Let us help you find it!" Qi Rong hurriedly said.

"Characteristics? I really don't know, but it is different from ordinary black ice. So, just find the difference."

The three of them dispersed.

This black ice cave should be roughly a closed circle. Qi Rong and Lu Wei walked around separately and bumped into each other again.

"Did you find it?"

"No." Qirong shook his head regretfully.

Lu Wei didn't say anything either. She looked to the side and exclaimed, "What is Xiaowu standing there looking at?"

They walked over. Qin Ruqing was looking up at the top of the ice cave.

"Sister, what are you looking at?"

Qin Ruqing said, "I found the Heart of Ice here last time."

As for how Qin Ruqing recognized it, it was because there happened to be a winding icicle here, and the Heart of Ice slid down along this icicle.

Qin Ruqing touched her chin and thought: "At that time, the Ice Heart emerged from the top, but there are obviously more ice cubes below. It is not below, but ran to the top. There must be some mystery."

Qirong suggested: "Sister, you should feel it. Aren't you very sensitive to spiritual energy? See if there is anything different here."

Qin Ruqing shook her head and said, "I have tried it."

Nothing can bring true knowledge better than practice. Qin Ruqing stopped daydreaming and summoned her flying sword (hehe, it was the eighth-grade magic weapon that the ancestor gave her before). After stepping on it, she flew to the top of the ice cave.

She reached out and touched the top and knocked it again.

Lu Wei and the others also flew up on the alchemy furnace, "Is it here?"

Qin Ruqing was hesitant, and after a while, she said in surprise, "Nothing special." After thinking about it, she couldn't help but put her eyes on the "icicles" next to her.

It's called icicles, but it's different from the thin and long icicles that form under the eaves in winter. The icicles here are strictly speaking arc-shaped icicles.

Qin Ruqing stepped down on the flying sword and circled around the pillar, "The situation here is different from the stalactite cave. How come there is such a pillar?"

Qirong followed, "Sister, what do you say, smash it?" He began to rub his fists.

Lu Wei was a little worried: "If such a thick pillar is smashed, will the top collapse? I still remember that this ice cave is buried at the bottom of the lake."

Qin Ruqing pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Smash it!"

Although such a formed ice cave is a system manifestation, it can be rationalized to show that everything about it is in line with reality. Hanxuan ice is hard, not to mention such a complete ice cave. How could it collapse just because an ice pillar fell?

As Qin Ruqing thought, the ice cave did not collapse, but it scared the Qin family who were guarding the ice cave on the ground.

They were on duty, but suddenly the ground began to tremble and shake, and there was a huge noise from underground.

What's going on?

Thinking of the fifth lady and her group who had just gone down, their faces changed instantly. Could it be that something happened in the ice cave?

They hurried down to check, but the situation inside shocked them. The fifth and third young ladies each held a sword and were chopping the icicles, while the fourth young master used his fists.

The three of them looked like they wanted to poke a hole in the sky.

"Fifth young lady, what are you doing?"

Qin Ruqing was busy, and she found that this was too inefficient, so she stepped back and said, "You guys step back, I'll use magic."

Noticing a member of the Qin family standing next to her, she took the time to reply to him, "It's okay, don't worry about it, just step back."

The man stared at her for a while, then retreated with a twitch of his mouth.

Qin Ruqing used a big move, the Lotus Heart of All Laws, a magic spell in the shape of a lotus made of five different flames. The lotus fire was trembling faintly, very beautiful, but as soon as it landed, it would explode with a bang.

The icicle collapsed with a bang.

This time, Qin Ruqing looked up again and indeed found something different. The cross-section of the collapsed top of the icicle was dark blue, unlike the moon-white color of ordinary black ice.

Qin Ruqing flew up on the T-sword and dug out the dark blue section. In the end, it was about the size of three manhole covers put together.

"I said that the Heart of Ice was up there before. It should be sleeping on it."

She dug out two small corners, about the size of a palm, and handed one to Qi Rong and Lu Wei.

"Yes, this is a hundred thousand year old cold mystical ice. It's a good thing. It's not in a small area,

so don't think it's too little. You can carve a jade pendant or some accessories to hang on your body. The effect will be much better than ordinary cold mystical ice." Lu Wei was a little hesitant, not because she thought it was too little, but because she thought it was too precious. Her lips moved, but before she could say anything, Qin Ruqing said, "Hehe, just give you one piece, and the rest are mine. I still need to keep them for refining tools. Third sister, you can't take any more."

"This is only for third sister and Qirong. If it's other tribesmen, let alone hundred thousand year old cold mystical ice, even ordinary mystical ice, if they want to dig it, they have to pay me obediently... I'm very stingy~"

The ancestor said at the time that all the products in the ice cave belonged to her. Although the tribesmen could practice in the ice cave, if they wanted the products inside, they had to exchange spirit stones with Qin Ruqing.

As for the products in the ice cave, let's not talk about other things, just talking about the ten thousand year cold black ice, this thing is a good thing for cultivation, and those who have the conditions are willing to buy a piece of it as a meditation platform.

Therefore, Qin Ruqing is now a solid little rich woman.

Qin Ruqing said stingy words, but Lu Wei had already understood what she meant. After a moment of silence, she put away the small piece of black ice.

Black ice freezes hands, and you need to use a layer of spiritual energy to prevent freezing, but your heart is hot.

Qi Rong accepted it directly. He has been relying on Qingqing as a little follower since he was a child, and he is not so polite to Qingqing.

Qin Ruqing was satisfied after finding part of the main material of the life magic weapon. He wandered around the ice cave again, checked the terrain and the location of the magic eye of the formation set up by the Qin family, and then returned to the mansion.

The day passed very peacefully, but on the evening of the second day, Qin Deming found Qin Ruqing with a serious face, and the first sentence he said was:

"Zhang Li is dead!"

...

The Zhang family is now in a mess.

In fact, he was fine. After Zhang Li was brought back, he also found an alchemist to carefully treat him with medicine.

Even the alchemists in the clan gave the same diagnosis, saying that the Qin family used the best healing elixir, and the third elder's body was recovering rapidly. He is unconscious now, probably because he lost too much blood before, and he needs to rest his mind to recover.

The second elder even flattered Zhang Xiao, saying, "The Qin family really didn't lie this time. According to the alchemists in the clan, the Qin family used top-grade healing elixirs this time. I think they are afraid that the third elder will be injured too badly and something bad will happen to the Qin family... They are afraid of our Zhang family from the bottom of their hearts!"

Zhang Xiao was comforted by these words, but he was still a little worried and said, "The alchemists in the clan have all seen it, but what about that guest Tang?" ?”

The second elder said, “Tang Keqing had followed the messenger to pick up the third elder earlier, so I think he had seen it too.”

Zhang Xiao said, “Call the messenger over, I want to ask what Tang Keqing said.”

The messenger came over and repeated what Tang Keqing said, and what he said was no different from what other alchemists in the clan said, except that he concealed the sentence “He won’t die in a short time”,

which would obviously anger the ancestor. If he said it out, he would inevitably be implicated. Moreover, so many alchemists had seen the third elder, and they all said that he was fine, so it didn’t matter whether he said it or not.

Zhang Xiao was finally completely relieved, so he ordered someone to take good care of the third elder, and then he left.

As a result, in the evening of the second day, the guard came to report that the third elder…had an accident.

He had recovered well, his spirit was gradually becoming active, and he was showing signs of waking up. But somehow, his blood started boiling, causing his tendons to break. Then he couldn't stop. It was as if something had hit his body, and it was extremely damaged.

Zhang Xiao came over and saw that his son's seven orifices were bleeding. He said hurriedly, "Go and call people. Call all the alchemists, and Tang Keqing..."

Soon, a group of people gathered in the house. Zhang Xiao's face was livid, and he asked them all to go up and take his pulse.

But this was a mess. A person only had two hands, so how could they all go up? The great elder Hao Gu standing nearby winked at the alchemists, and then two of them took Zhang Li's pulse while the others pretended to check other parts of Zhang Li's body, making sure that Zhang Xiao thought they were doing something to avoid getting into trouble.

But with so many people, the diagnosis results were not uniform.

Some said that it was an old injury caused by some reason, but if you asked him what the reason was, he couldn't answer.

Some said it was poisoning, but if you asked him what the poison was, he couldn't answer.

There was also one who insisted that there was something wrong with the healing elixir that the Qin family had fed him before - this one was a little bit reliable, mainly because it was very consistent with Zhang Xiao's guess, so Zhang Xiao asked him to answer the question - what was wrong with the elixir, and mainly, how to solve it?

He was speechless again.

Zhang Xiao knew that the man was talking nonsense. He slapped the man on the head with his palm, and the promising alchemist fell silently.

No one dared to speak, and Zhang Xiao looked at Tang Keqing, who was dressed in a black robe.

Because of the robe, no one could see the expression on his face, so no one knew whether he was afraid or not. They only saw that he moved naturally to diagnose Zhang Li. He

first took his pulse, then looked at Zhang Li's eyes and mouth, and saw that his tongue was abnormally red, and his pupils under the black robe moved.

"How is it?" Zhang Xiao said anxiously.

The black robe said: "He's not dead yet."

Everyone else: ... He's not dead yet, so you are really not afraid of death, right?

Zhang Xiao's breath rose rapidly, and he was about to explode. The black-robed man said again: "Wait for me to give him a set of acupuncture."

Zhang Xiao's breath was choked in his throat. After a while, he squeezed out a word with a dark face: "Do it!"

The black-robed man really had some skills. After a set of acupuncture, Zhang Li's boiling blood and turbulent spiritual energy gradually calmed down.

Zhang Xiao's eyes were full of joy, "Elder Tang, is there a chance of salvation?" This time he called him Elder Tang again.

As a result, the black-robed man shook his head: "He will die without a doubt. My acupuncture can only make him slightly conscious at most."

"You..." Zhang Xiao was furious and wanted to slap him to death on the spot.

As a result, the person on the bed gradually made a faint sound. The acupuncture method actually worked? Zhang Xiao hurried to the bedside and held Zhang Li's hand: "Son, who hurt you? But the Qin family? Is it the Qin family!"

Zhang Li slowly opened his eyes because he heard his father's voice or because he heard the word Qin family. Zhang Xiao was overjoyed, "Son, who is it!" Zhang

Li's mouth slowly opened, as if he was about to say something.

Everyone was looking at him, only the black-robed alchemist felt that something in Zhang Li's body was waking up.

There is actually another method! This defense is really deadly enough!

In this case...

The fingers hidden in the black-robed alchemist's wide sleeves moved slightly, and the silver needle inserted into Zhang Li's most important acupoint loosened.

Needle method, needle method, if one loosens, it will not work. Zhang Li was powerless and died quietly.

From then on, no one in the world knew that the words Zhang Li wanted to say before he died were: little kid.

The little kid from the Qin family...

"My son!"

Zhang Xiao was furious and grabbed the black-robed alchemist by the collar, "What's the matter! Isn't he awake? Did you do something to him? Ah!"

The black-robed man's life was hanging by a thread, but the hoarse voice from under the mask was relatively steady: "Sir, the third elder was already powerless, and my acupuncture has already made him wake up. What else do you want? Isn't the person who drugged the third elder the one who should be held accountable at this time?"

"Drug?" Zhang Xiao had not yet lost his mind and grasped these two words sharply.

He loosened the black robe and said in a sharp voice: "Speak."

The black robe lowered his head: "The Third Elder was not poisoned this time, but took the wrong medicine..."

...

"The Zhang family is in chaos now. Not only have they questioned our Qin family, but I heard that even people in their own family are suspicious. The alchemist has killed batch after batch..." Qin Deming's voice was serious but with a hint of surprise and weirdness.

He thought that their Qin family would definitely take the blame - well, although it might not be the blame - but in the end, you even suspect your own family members.

What's wrong with your brain

? "My daughter, did you do something again?" Qin Deming's first reaction was to think of his daughter's actions.

Qin Ruqing frowned when she heard this, "Dad, you know everything I did, and this has nothing to do with me."

Is the internal conflict in your Zhang family so serious? They didn't even suspect our Qin family, and they even fought among themselves...

Qin Ruqing knew that once Zhang Li died, there would be no turning back between the Qin and Zhang families. The Qin family was well prepared for this, and the ancestor had already closed his eyes a few days ago in order to quickly refine the Frost Heart and restore his cultivation.

As a result, they actually fought each other.

Qin Ruqing touched his chin, "I think something has happened, but this change is in the direction of benefiting our Qin family."

"The Zhang family will probably be in chaos for a while, which will buy us more time."

"Dad, keep a close eye on the Zhang family's movements during this period. Our family's defense formation will be immediately activated, and it will be at the highest level, regardless of spiritual stones!" After

Qin Deming left, Qin Ruqing was unable to calm down for a while. He didn't want to practice and couldn't sleep, so he simply went to the back mountain.

This is the highest mountain in the Qin family's territory. At the foot of the mountain is the Qin family's medicine garden. From here, you can see the ancestor's Xianyingju.

After the Qin and Zhang families met that day, the ancestor closed the gate. Calculating the time, he should be coming out soon. Because Qin Ruqing had asked the ancestor, the ancestor had already refined half of the Heart of Ice, so it wouldn't take too long this time.

Qin Ruqing was lying on the top of the mountain behind the mountain with a piece of grass in his mouth. It was evening, the sun was setting, hiding behind the clouds, and the sunset glow was a thin layer of lingering purple-red. The world was peaceful and tranquil.

The dogtail grass hanging in Qin Ruqing's mouth shook, and the wind blew.

Yes, even the dogtail grass knew that the storm was coming, so how could there be peace and tranquility.

Qin Ruqing straightened his upper body, thought for a while, and took something out of his storage bag. It looks like a jade pendant, with white jade as the base, nothing special, but the center of the jade is a little more lively, it is a rich and emerald green, shake it, and faintly reflect the glow of the outside world.

This one point is like the finishing touch, and the whole jade pendant appears strange and extraordinary.

Qin Ruqing looked at the jade pendant and suddenly laughed. I don’t know what this is, the green inside the jade pendant is chalcedony!

Remember the ball nest she dug out when she captured the Ice Heart before, and then dripped another drop of chalcedony into it to lure the Ice Heart.

Qin Ruqing, the stingy girl, remembered this "wasted" drop of chalcedony in her heart at that time, and made up her mind to lick this drop of chalcedony clean even if she had to lick it back.

Qin Ruqing was not joking, and later she really shamelessly asked the ancestor for the ball nest.

The ancestor was puzzled, and Qin Ruqing rubbed her hands and said shyly: "Qingqing captured the Heart of Ice and dropped a drop of chalcedony into the ball nest, thinking that it should not be wasted..."

The ancestor was speechless at the time. This precious girl should be the richest person in the Qin family now, but she still misses the drop of chalcedony.

After a long silence, he returned the ball nest to Qin Ruqing. In the end, Qin Ruqing's wish to lick the chalcedony clean was not fulfilled, because the chalcedony was combined with the cold and mysterious ice.

The ancestor was surprised at this phenomenon for a while: "Logically, chalcedony and ten thousand year old cold black ice cannot be fused, but the two are combined together. I think it is because you locked the heart of ice inside for a few days. This thing is unique in the world, and it is impossible to find the first piece."

Unique in the world, yes, chalcedony is rare, ten thousand year old cold black ice is rare, and the two are dripped together, plus the heart of ice, it was formed by chance.

Later, Qin Ruqing cut out the chalcedony that was fused in the ball nest and polished it into a jade pendant like this.

Now, Qin Ruqing holds the jade pendant with a black rope in his hand, shines it against the light, and sees the green inside, which seems to have spirituality, and his mood becomes better.

Unique in the world - yes, she, Qin Ruqing, deserves this unique thing in the world.

She hung the jade pendant around her neck and made up her mind to wear it like this in the

future. It seemed that after putting on the jade pendant, her heart calmed down. Qin Ruqing's mind began to be restless again, and she started to think about things.

Well, when the ancestor comes out of retreat, I will go out to fight with the Zhang family. It would be best if I can swallow up the Zhang family. After that, I will think of a way to get the ice and fire grass for the ancestor. With the grass, the ancestor's injuries can be healed, and then I can find a chance to make a pill.

By that time, their Qin family will be a solid silver family. Hehehe...
