Chapter 160: Opportunity and Crisis In the end, Xu Hui couldn't resist the temptation...
In the end, Xu Hui couldn't resist the temptation. There were more than 600 points left, so she spent them.
She bought and studied it without hesitation, and the result was somewhat disappointing, but not entirely regretful.
It was just as she guessed, keeping the Ice Heart Snow Lotus in a happy mood was the secret to raising them!
Of course, the various conditions of their growth environment are also very harsh, but they can be achieved through various means.
The most important thing is "happiness", which no one can imagine.
It turns out that taking care of plants is sometimes like taking care of people, you have to keep them in a good mood!
Xu Hui was a little surprised, but more regretful. This barrier was indeed crucial.
But the problem is, with her ability, she is completely unable to replicate this barrier, and in the entire cultivation world, she can't think of any way to keep plants in a good mood all the time.
This isn't an illusion, how can I be so emotional all the time?
Unable to figure it out, she had no choice but to give up. She took one last reluctant look at this precious land, then turned and left the barrier.
After coming out, she immediately used magic to mobilize the water flow, instantly freezing it into ice, sealing the barrier.
She also added a few more layers to prevent cracks from appearing again. She hoped that someone would be lucky enough to discover this place.
After doing all this, she returned to Zhong Lingyue's side, removed the trap and illusion array, woke her up from the illusion, and asked confidently, "Where is the Ice Heart Snow Lotus you mentioned? Why can't I find anything?"
Zhong Lingyue was suddenly awakened from her euphoria, her heart filled with melancholy. Then her eyes turned red as she glared at Xu Hui fiercely, "How dare you plot against me!"
In the illusion, she got everything. Not only did Mu Yuan become her slave, but Zhong Xinyue and Xu Hui were also under her feet. All the treasures in the world belonged to her.
It is so beautiful, but when compared with reality, it makes people feel particularly disappointed.
Especially when he saw the dug hole not far away, he was immediately furious.
This guy actually trapped her and wanted to take the treasure for himself. Thinking of the pleasure he felt in torturing the woman in front of her in the illusion, she almost couldn't help but pounce on her and tear her to pieces.
However, the reality is that Xu Hui is a whole realm higher than her, and she is no match at all.
"Tsk, that's the Ice Heart Snow Lotus, who wouldn't want to keep it all for themselves?" Xu Hui rolled her eyes. "Besides, there's only one Ice Heart Snow Lotus, why should I give it to you? Tell me, where is the Ice Heart Snow Lotus?"
"No!" Zhong Lingyue gritted her teeth and said, "There is no such thing as Ice Heart Snow Lotus. I was lying to you. Hahaha, idiot! I just wanted to trick you into helping me eliminate the obstacles!"
Xu Hui's expression suddenly turned cold. He pointed the Heaven-Swallowing Sword at her and spoke slowly, "I'll give you a chance. Say it again! Think it over before you speak. The sword in my hand has no eyes!"
Zhong Lingyue's heart trembled, but everything she experienced in the illusion fueled her arrogance, making her unwilling to swallow her anger. She sneered, "If I say no, then it's no. Who would tell you if there is such a thing? Am I stupid? I don't know that after you form your infant, your realm will be higher than mine, and I can't beat you at all. If there is, of course I have to take the Ice Heart Snow Lotus away while you are still forming your infant!"
"Good! Very good!" Xu Wei laughed angrily, "If you dare to use me, you must bear the consequences!"
After saying that, he swung the Heaven-Swallowing Sword in his hand and hit Zhong Lingyue hard.
She immediately flew backwards and hit the glacier, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her already ugly face became even paler, like a dead person.
Xu Hui didn't care whether she had lost half her life or not. She raised the bone sword high in her hand again and was about to swing it down.
"Stop!" A stern shout came from above Zhong Lingyue's head. It was the sleeping monster. Sensing that Zhong Lingyue was in imminent danger, it ended its soul recuperation early and ran out in a hurry.
Xu Hui refused to listen and continued to attack. The monster only muttered a few inaudible spells before shouting, "Stop!"
Xu Hui understood that she had to obey now, otherwise the truth that the forbidden spell had failed would be exposed.
She deliberately let the bone sword stop in mid-air and tried to swing it down, but her hands seemed to be out of control. Then she withdrew her hands in anger and looked at them coldly.
Seeing this, the monster gave the two of them a sinister look and snorted coldly, "Have you found the place?"
Zhong Lingyue struggled to get up from the ground and pointed to the cave not far away. "Found it, it's right there!"
The monster flew over first and took a look. "Yes, this is it. Let's collect what we want and then go back!"
After saying that, he hid in Zhong Lingyue's sea of consciousness again.
Seeing that Xu Hui really couldn't do anything to her, Zhong Lingyue couldn't help but have evil thoughts. She knew that the Wei family had given Xu Hui a lot of good things. If she could get them, how much resources for cultivation could she get in return?
Her eyes were greedy as she watched Xu Hui shrink back and forth.
Xu Hui snorted coldly and opened her palm, revealing a lightning bead floating above it. "Do you want to try and see if that monster can control me faster, or if I activate the lightning bead and let it strike you faster?"
Feeling the terrifying pressure of thunder and lightning, Zhong Lingyue once again witnessed the preferential treatment Xu Hui received from several major families. She even had the Thunder Power Pearl that could only be condensed by a cultivator with thunder spiritual roots in the Mahayana stage. Who knew how many other means of saving her life she had?
Thinking of this, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze, took out a medicine bottle from the storage space, stuffed a few pills into her mouth, and slowly walked towards the cave entrance.
Xu Hui ignored her, but followed her closely, as if she was unwilling to give up and wanted to see with her own eyes whether she really did not have the Ice Heart Snow Lotus.
Zhong Lingyue laughed at her narrow-mindedness in her heart. How could such a pure thing as the Ice Heart Snow Lotus exist in this place where the mysterious energy was rampant?
Her goal from the beginning to the end was the sealed plants under the glacier.
After years of being eroded by the mysterious energy, those plants have become Netherworld plants with enormous energy. As long as they can be used, they will be excellent materials for setting up formations.
Some of it has been found before, but it is far from enough.
She came here based on her vague impression of the monster and took a lot of effort to find the specific location, but she was trapped by the invisible snow ape.
With her strength, she was unable to see through the formless bodies of these snow apes, so she could only use Xu Hui.
She is quite capable and can even take out the Thunder Power Pearl, which is more than enough to deal with the snow ape. But she is too stupid to actually believe that there really is an Ice Heart Snow Lotus in this damn place. Haha, how could she lose to such a fool?
Xu Hui didn't care what Zhong Lingyue thought. She just put on a show to make Zhong Lingyue believe that she didn't get the Ice Heart Snow Lotus.
Otherwise, if Zhong Lingyue persuaded the monster to take it out and forced her to take it out, would she take it out or not?
She could have escaped, but she realized that following Zhong Lingyue was the fastest way to reach the location of the Netherworld Cold Flame.
For some reason, her heart suddenly became tight and she was counting down.
I can't figure out the reason, I can only guess that it was the monk's premonition. If Wan Moxiao can't survive before the countdown ends, he may die.
Therefore, she decided not to waste time and followed Zhong Lingyue, and after meeting Wan Moxiao, she would find a way to escape.
She followed Zhong Lingyue and watched her come to the Ice Crystal Forest. When she saw the large area of plants, she immediately showed joy.
Xu Hui raised her eyebrows. It turned out that she really didn’t know that there was Ice Heart Snow Lotus here. She came here just for these plants!
That’s… great!
Xu Hui was in a good mood, but she didn't show it on her face. She watched Zhong Lingyue use the broken magic sword to cut the ice, being careful not to let the plants show, lest the mysterious energy inside would be swept out.
Ever since she fell into the devil's trap, she has lost all her previous spiritual swords and supplies. What she can use now are all given to her by the monster.
But what he was given was limited. He didn't know how long he had been trapped here. The supplies he had before had been corroded and destroyed by the mysterious energy without his knowledge.
There are only a few pieces left that have been preserved, and he is not willing to give away the truly precious ones.
Therefore, it was difficult for Zhong Lingyue to defend herself from the erosion of the thick Xuanming Qi, and she had to be extremely careful.
Xu Hui did not step forward to help, but stood aside and watched coldly.
If she was too enthusiastic at this time, it would be inconsistent with the arrogance she had shown before, and would make Zhong Lingyue suspect that she was feeling guilty about getting the treasure.
Not only did she not help, she even deliberately took action to disrupt Zhong Lingyue's work.
She couldn't bear it any longer, so she called on the monster and ordered Xu Hui not to take action!
Xu Hui's face was unhappy, but under the control of the forbidden spell, she really couldn't "take action". She could only stand aside and watch, her eyes becoming more and more fierce.
Seeing her like this, Zhong Lingyue was very happy. She sneered at her a few times and turned around to continue.
After falling into the devil, Zhong Lingyue's physical fitness improved significantly. She used the magic sword non-stop and cut off thousands of plants in just one day.
At this time, she finally stopped and turned to leave.
When she was leaving, Xu Hui looked back and still felt very regretful. How could she not learn how to plant the Ice Heart Snow Lotus? Why couldn't she learn how to set up the barrier?
Tsk, I really haven’t learned enough!
Afterwards, Zhong Lingyue seemed to have collected enough materials and flew straight in one direction.
Xu Hui didn't say anything and followed her. After flying for about six hours, they saw a palace made of ice, which made people feel cold.
This palace appears pure and flawless, but in fact it carries a subtle sense of evil and gloom.
The surface of the palace was covered by a thin layer of yin energy, making the entire palace appear somewhat ominous under the reflection of the glacier.
The outline of the palace is still elegant, but the ice sculptures are distorted and strange, as if they are twisting.
The gems inlaid on the door have lost their former luster and have a faint hint of blood red. The strange runes carved on the door exude an ominous aura, as if warning all living beings not to get close.
The palace is surrounded by layers of icicles and ice walls. They don't look like well-arranged works of art, but more like cold cages that isolate the palace from the world.
Xu Hui frowned slightly, became alert, and followed Zhong Lingyue slowly across the palace gate.
As soon as she stepped in, she immediately realized something was wrong. An invisible force quietly descended and suppressed her cultivation.
Under the influence of this power, she found that except for her physical fitness being slightly better than that of ordinary people, she was almost the same as an ordinary person who had never practiced.
She was startled and was about to retreat, but she saw Zhong Lingyue suddenly turn around, her eyes full of malice, and the magic sword in her hand was like a black lightning, carrying a sharp murderous aura, and slashed towards her fiercely.
