Xu Li endured the chill that was blowing in his face, and saw that in Long Yi's palm was a transparent piece of jade that looked like ice.
"Is this... ice?"
Long Yi said unhappily, "How many degrees do you think this little bit of ice can lower the temperature of a plantation of thousands of acres?
This is a ten-thousand-year-old ice crystal stone, hidden a hundred meters underground in the plantation. It is the culprit that caused tens of thousands of spiritual herbs to wither."
Xu Li was stunned and said in disbelief, "This rock is barely the size of a palm, yet it can actually affect a plantation of over a thousand acres."
That's an area as large as dozens of football fields. To affect such a large area of ​​plantations, it would take at least a cold wave in winter.
How could such a small piece of jade contain such a huge amount of coldness?
"You are not well-informed, are you? This is just a small piece of jade, but it contains tens of thousands of years of coldness. Ancient books call it the Ice Spirit." Long Yi explained.
As soon as he released his divine consciousness into the underground of the plantation, he felt something was wrong.
It was logically impossible to have such a freezing cold atmosphere a hundred meters underground. It was not until he released his divine consciousness a hundred meters underground that he found this small and exquisite ten-thousand-year-old ice crystal stone.
It was the cold air radiated from this ice crystal stone that penetrated a hundred meters of land and radiated into the underground roots of those spiritual herbs, causing the spiritual herbs on the surface to wither and die.
Originally, he considered that using his divine sense to take away this ten-thousand-year-old ice crystal stone might freeze the spiritual herbs on the surface to death, so he planned to wait until he was fully prepared before taking it away.
But those people were so ungrateful that Long Yi was furious and used his spiritual power to take it out. Since there was no formation protection, the leaked cold air naturally brought the temperature of the entire plantation down to zero degrees.
"But Master Long, the coldness emitted by this thing doesn't seem to be as strong as you said." Xu Li asked doubtfully.
Long Yi jokingly said, "That's because I wrapped it with Xuantian Qi. If I remove the Qi, will you be frozen into an ice sculpture?"
"No, no, no, you'd better take him in." Xu Li shook his head hurriedly and quickly stepped back a few meters.
Ten-thousand-year cryolites are often born in cold zones, such as hidden deep under ten-thousand-year-old icebergs, but that plantation does not occupy any of them. It is likely that someone deliberately buried them there.
The ice crystal stone also has a cycle for releasing cold air. According to Pavilion Master Cheng, this plantation will inexplicably suffer a disaster every twelve years, so the cycle of releasing cold air must be twelve years.
"Obtaining this ten-thousand-year-old ice crystal stone by chance has greatly enhanced the construction of the mountain protection formation. Otherwise, it would only be able to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without any defensive measures.
If I'm not around, wouldn't the thieves be able to come and go as they please? "
With this in mind, Long Yi planned to go back to Longju Ridge first, practice diligently for a while, and test the mountain protection formation in advance.
Xu Li naturally obeyed unconditionally.
......
At the plantation base, after everyone escaped from the freezing cold, Cheng Zizhen told everyone in detail how he had invited Long Yi.
Master Liao immediately wanted to go to Longju Ridge to invite Long Yi back, but Pavilion Master Cheng was in a high position and calmly analyzed at this moment:
"Master Long is furious right now. If we go there rashly, we'll probably return empty-handed. Why don't we wait a few days and bring a generous gift, using this opportunity to apologize and build closer ties with him?"
The most important thing for us right now is to minimize the losses. Saving these thousands of acres of spiritual herbs is one thing, but we can't just let them all rot in the fields, right?"
So, Master Liao called on dozens of magicians, who worked day and night for almost a week, and only then were they able to recover one-third of the losses. The remaining two-thirds of the spiritual herbs were beyond repair.
After the matter was over, Pavilion Master Chen and Master Liao, led by Cheng Zizhen, took a private plane to Longjuling.
As the helicopter approached Longju Ridge, the captain suddenly exclaimed, "Master Cheng... Pavilion Master Cheng, the radar is suddenly out of control, and many of the buttons in the control room are basically out of order."
Pavilion Master Cheng was shocked when he heard this. The three of them looked down and saw that the sky above Longju Ridge was covered with thick, opaque white fog, which was extremely strange!
Cheng Zizhen stuttered, "I... when I went there a few days ago, there wasn't this strange white fog yet."
The captain asked, "Master Cheng, if we continue to move forward rashly, the plane will be destroyed and everyone on board will die."
Before Pavilion Master Cheng could say anything, Master Liao blurted out, "Descent as quickly as possible! This white mist is definitely not naturally formed. It's a mountain protection formation set up by a powerful being. It's filled with murderous intent!"
After saying this, he sat back in his seat tremblingly, with a storm in his heart.
To ordinary people, it looked like ordinary mist, but Master Liao realized that it was a large magic array after just a few glances.
Not only can it absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, turning the formation into a blessed land, it also contains multiple functions such as cloud maze, strangulation trap, and trespassing alarm.
Master Liao chuckled bitterly, "I believe this mountain protection formation must have been created by Master Long. This kind of heaven-defying formation, let alone my master, even if hundreds of formation masters worked together, would take at least several years to complete."
The shock in his heart was beyond words. He even found that the gap between himself and Long Yi was like a chasm that he would never be able to overcome in his lifetime.
"Master Liao, do we have to apologize to Master Long before hiking up the mountain?" asked Pavilion Master Cheng.
Master Liao smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid we won't even have the chance to apologize. This is such a terrifying formation. If we rush in without the permission of the formation's owner, we will only die."
Pavilion Master Cheng was shocked and his face was full of disappointment.
Originally, there was a great opportunity to get close to Long Yi, but because they looked down on others, now, let alone getting closer to him, they are not even qualified to meet him.
He said dejectedly, "Forget it, let's not go in and bore ourselves. Let's go home."
The helicopter roared away from the sky above Longjuling...
However, after Long Yi and the others left Lingbao Pavilion, they returned to Longju Ridge that afternoon.
As soon as he returned to the vicinity of the cave, Long Yi spent three days setting up a mountain protection formation to prevent unauthorized people from entering.
The purpose of establishing the mountain protection formation now is to prove its feasibility. It can be regarded as an experiment first, so as to avoid failure when establishing the mountain protection formation in the top-level villa given by Grandpa Qi.
He used the cave as the center of the formation, dragon crystal as the medium to convert the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and ten thousand year old ice crystal as the source of fog, and supplemented it with thousands of talismans with lethal properties to build a strangulation formation.
When the task was completed, Xu Li and the rest of the Xu family were all stunned and stood there in amazement!
