In the cold and damp cave, the crisp sound of dripping water is like falling pearls, echoing in this wide and silent cave.
Luo Jianqing followed Li Xiuchen and the other eight people and entered the road in the middle.
This road was obviously different from the road Li Xiuchen and others had taken before. The further they went in, the stronger the biting cold wind blew, as if blowing through everyone's bones, making everyone shiver.
Besides, the light here is getting darker and darker.
Originally, there was no lighting in this cold light cave, making it impossible for ordinary people to see. Cultivators were much better off, able to barely see. However, on this road, the darkness was no longer a matter of light, but rather a hazy, cold air that blocked everyone's vision.
After walking about a mile, Ling Ye, the leader, said, "Brother Li, this road seems a little strange. Why don't we turn back and try another route?"
Li Xiuchen shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Ling, we've only walked a mile, and we've already found a lot of Cold Jade Liquid. We're not in any danger yet, you're really too worried. Let's just keep going down there, and we're sure to find more Cold Jade Liquid."
"But……"
"Hey, Brother Ling, at most we'll run into a three-star ice beast. With the eight of us working together, we can still defeat even a three-star ice beast. Ice beasts don't have strong attack power. As long as we seize the opportunity, we can kill a three-star ice beast."
Ling Ye finally stopped objecting.
Along the way, they had indeed seen a great deal of Cold Jade Liquid. In just one mile, the amount of Cold Jade Liquid exceeded what they would normally see in three days. This must be a great opportunity.
As the saying goes, fortune and honor are sought in danger. It had been thirty years since anyone had seen a four-star ice beast in Hanguang Cave. Li Xiuchen was right. The eight of them were considered powerful among Jindan cultivators. If they did encounter a three-star ice beast, they would at least have no problem escaping safely.
So, the group of eight continued to move forward.
Luo Jianqing followed them, only a hundred meters away, but none of them noticed. Looking at the eight cautious figures, Luo Jianqing narrowed his eyes and sighed, "Most cultivators in this world die on the road to seeking opportunities. Opportunities often come with dangers, and they know that."
Xuan Lingzi said calmly: "How can a cultivator like me be afraid of danger?"
Luo Jianqing smiled and nodded. He glanced up at his master and asked, "Master, I heard you've been to many dangerous places and experienced many hardships before. How did you get through them? Have you ever been like Li Xiuchen, who repeatedly escaped death, often escaping death alone after everyone else perished, and then vowed to avenge his fallen companions?"
There was no trace of emotion on his handsome face. Xuan Lingzi lowered his eyes and looked at his disciple, his eyes gradually softening: "Master never stays with others."
Luo Jianqing said in surprise: "Master, so you are so withdrawn?"
Xuan Lingzi lowered his eyes. "At that time, the war between the two tribes was very intense, and your grandmaster didn't have much time to teach me. Most of the time, I had to avoid those assassinating demons while looking for opportunities to break through. Especially before the Nascent Soul stage, my cultivation speed was not very fast. After I formed the Nascent Soul, I had the strength to fight back against the pursuing demons, and it was much easier."
Hearing this, Luo Jianqing's face showed a strange expression. After a long while, he said, "So... I'm quite happy?"
Xuan Lingzi couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips: "It is always a blessing to be born in a peaceful era."
As the two were talking, a startled cry suddenly rang out from a distance. Luo Jianqing immediately looked over there and saw a large man pointing a finger in fear at a puddle three feet away.
"This... so much cold jade liquid!"
The puddle was a clear, azure blue, a layer of white, chilling air constantly rising from the surface. The puddle was less than half a foot in diameter, yet around it, layers of icy white frost condensed into frosty flowers. Even from a distance of hundreds of meters, Luo Jianqing could clearly feel the chill, penetrating from the soles of his feet straight into his dantian.
Luo Jianqing immediately activated the "Nine Lotuses Heaven-defying Record" in his body to resist the terrifying cold.
A master alchemist once analyzed that the Cold Light Jade Liquid in the Cold Light Cave was likely the same substance as the Ice Liquid of the Ice Beast. However, the Ice Liquid was more brutal and could not be absorbed normally by the cultivator, instead damaging the Dantian.
The piercing cold could be felt from such a long distance, so one could imagine how terrifying that pool of cold jade liquid not far away was.
Luo Jianqing watched from a distance, not moving forward. He saw Li Xiuchen and the others taking out their prepared containers and distributing the cold jade liquid.
Ling Ye said: "This Cold Light Jade Liquid must be at least five hundred years old!"
Li Xiuchen also showed a hint of joy: "So much cold jade liquid, it's really precious."
After taking the Cold Jade Liquid, Ling Ye's expression suddenly changed. He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Li, there's so much Cold Jade Liquid in this place. It must be very dangerous. I think we should turn back quickly. This Cold Jade Liquid is enough for us, right, brothers?"
The monks on the side all agreed with Ling Ye's words.
Li Xiuchen's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he said, "Brother Ling, you know that opportunities are not easy to come by. There is already so much Cold Jade Liquid here. If we go further in, we might encounter more. Now there is a great opportunity right in front of us. Are we just going to turn a blind eye and give up?"
