After school at Tianyuan Academy, Tang Qian set off with his group.
Besides the Tang family, Niu Yancai was also traveling with them.
"Elder Niu, shall we start by taking the stone core from the east?" Tang Qian asked politely.
"It's up to you," Niu Yancai said. "I'm just accompanying you and helping out. Don't let me ruin your plans."
"Let's start from the east then." Tang Qian nodded and took off flying eastward first.
The others followed closely behind.
The core of the ice white stone is easy to extract.
After all, it's just an ordinary stone, nothing special.
Tang Qian and his group, even the weakest among them, were experts at the peak of the sixth level of the half-step immortal realm.
In addition, there's the Heavenly Grade Spiritual Treasure in my possession.
In less than half an hour, five stone hearts were obtained.
The stone core is crystal clear, just like crystal.
It can change.
A fist-sized stone core, once infused with spiritual energy, can change according to the thoughts of the person who infused it.
Tang Qian tried it twice and was very satisfied.
Then he put it away.
The speed is also good; five can be collected in half an hour.
I guarantee I'll be able to complete the task before dawn tomorrow.
There is no need to send more people.
Niu Yancai has not made a move yet.
While the Tang family was taking the stone core, he was observing his surroundings.
Because he always felt that the master wouldn't issue such a task for no reason; there must be some deeper meaning behind it.
After all, ice white stone is too ordinary and too common.
Niu Shanming and the others said that he was overthinking things, and at that moment he also felt that he might really have been overthinking things.
But in that instant, he felt a jolt run through his body.
The thought "there must be some deeper meaning" kept popping into my mind, and I couldn't shake it off.
It was as if there was some kind of guidance.
Therefore, while the Tang family retrieved the stone heart, he cautiously observed his surroundings.
Along the way, the Tang family has already retrieved ten stone hearts.
During this time, Niu Yancai also kept observing everywhere, from beginning to end, without missing anything.
Tang Qian finally couldn't help but ask, "Elder Niu, what are you looking for?"
Niu Yancai shook his head: "It's nothing."
He didn't know what he was looking for; it was like an instinct.
"Peak Master, look at that stone..." At this moment, an elder from the Tang family pointed to a piece of blue stone not far away and said.
Everyone turned to look.
Niu Yancai's gaze also turned in that direction.
In that instant, a sentence suddenly popped into Niu Yancai's mind: Take it away and send it to the mortal realm.
Niu Yancai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head vigorously.
What happened?
Who is it?
“This place is all white ice stone, so why is this stone bluish-green? And…” Tang Qian stroked his chin, his eyes fixed intently on the bluish-green stone.
The next second, the bluestone quietly moved a tiny bit to the side.
Tang Qian thought she was seeing things.
"Peak Master, it's moving! That's a demonic beast!" a Tang family elder shouted.
As soon as the Tang family elder finished speaking, the blue stone flew away with a whoosh.
Niu Yancai acted instinctively and immediately.
We used Tianpin fishing nets.
This time, when he went out to collect stone hearts with Tang Qian, he specially brought two top-grade spiritual treasures with him.
The bluestone crashed into the fishing net and was blocked from moving.
Then the blue stone shone brightly, and the stone, which was a foot square, shrank several times in size, becoming the size of a pebble.
They attempted to use this to pass through the holes in the fishing net.
Then, it miscalculated.
Because the holes in the fishing net also become relatively smaller.
"Don't waste your time." Niu Yancai walked closer, picked up the shrunken fishing net, and shook it in his hand.
They had thoroughly studied the functions of this fishing net.
The fishing net swayed, and the blue stone inside screamed in agony, as if its father had died.
Niu Yancai was taken aback.
Being caught in a fishing net and shaken like this can cause dizziness, headaches, and weakness in mild cases, and even unconsciousness in severe cases.
Why is this guy still yelling so loudly?
Could it be that this fishing net did not cause it any harm?
Niu Yancai frowned and shook it forcefully again.
Trapped in the fishing net, Qing Shi continued to scream in agony, "I'm dying, I'm dying..."
But his voice was full of energy.
Moreover, the tone remained unchanged throughout.
“There’s something wrong with this piece of bluestone,” Niu Yancai said solemnly.
"What do you plan to do?" Tang Qian asked.
“Take it back and give it to the master,” Niu Yancai said, shaking the fishing net again.
Upon hearing this, the stone in the fishing net paused in its shout, then cried out in anguish, "Let me go, and I'll tell you about a hidden treasure."
“I won’t let go,” Niu Yancai refused without hesitation.
“This is absolutely a treasure trove, filled with ancient spiritual treasures.” Qing Shi’s tone was still as heart-wrenching as ever: “There are even celestial-grade spiritual treasures.”
Niu Yancai remained unmoved.
What's so special about being a celestial being?
My elder brother has a divine item crafted by the master, and it's even a growth-type item.
Tang Qian also snorted coldly.
His grandson Zhan'er also has a celestial-grade alchemy furnace.
Most importantly, the so-called celestial treasures can be refined by the master with ease.
Worthless!
"Damn it, you don't even want a celestial-grade spiritual treasure?" Qing Shi finally couldn't help but swear, "What else do you want?"
“This bluestone is indeed extraordinary,” Tang Qian said. “Only you, sir, can subdue it.”
“You’re right.” Niu Yancai nodded. “I’ll take it to Fanshe now and see what you decide to do with it.”
"I'll say it one last time, let go!" Qing Shi's voice turned icy.
Niu Yancai and Tang Qian chose to ignore it.
“Very good.” Qing Shi said, emanating a chilling aura.
Niu Yancai couldn't help but rub his arms.
The cold seemed to seep into his bones, making him shiver involuntarily.
"Elder Niu, something's wrong with this bluestone." Tang Qian's cultivation was weaker than Niu Yancai's, and at this moment, even his eyebrows were covered in frost, and his teeth were chattering.
"I just gave you a chance to choose, but unfortunately you missed it." Qing Shi sneered, and the icy aura emanating from his body grew even stronger.
Everything around was covered with a layer of frost.
Tang Qian and his group, those with lower cultivation levels, had already had half of their bodies frozen in ice.
Even Tang Qian and Niu Yancai were stiff and unresponsive at this moment.
"We are no match for it." Niu Yancai said, trembling, as he used almost all his strength to take out the communication stone.
Then a message was sent in the group chat: "There is a stone demon inhabiting the small Hengduan Peak in the eastern part of Tianhen Mountain. It is extremely powerful and good at freezing. Even a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Treasure cannot defeat it."
After transmitting those words, the sound transmission stone in Niu Yancai's hand froze and exploded.
Niu Yancai couldn't be sure whether the message had been successfully transmitted; he could only hope it had.
Tang Qian also wanted to emulate Niu Yancai.
But the sound transmission stone was frozen and exploded as soon as it was taken out.
"Hold on, the master will definitely send someone to rescue us," Niu Yancai said, trembling.
"Mmm." Tang Qian only had the strength to nod at this point.
