Chapter 158 Confrontation
"There seems to be a strange aura ahead."
Everyone turned around and saw that Shi Xiao was speaking just now. He pointed to the distance not far ahead and said calmly. Shi Xiao relied on his keen spiritual sense to discover that there was a strange cold air in front of him.
If Shi Xiao hadn't practiced the Yin Yang Qian Kun Jue, he probably wouldn't have been able to discover it.
"Oh? Can you feel it?" Master Wu turned around and asked doubtfully.
"Yes, there should be a strange treasure ahead. This kind of aura cannot be emitted by ordinary things." Shi Xiao said calmly.
A glint flashed in Master Wu's eyes. If Shi Xiao had spoken before, he would not have believed it. But now that the situation has reversed, Master Wu does not dare to underestimate Shi Xiao easily.
"In that case, let's go forward first." Master Wu continued to hold the compass in his hand and led everyone forward.
After a while, everyone moved forward for hundreds of meters.
Suddenly, an extremely cold air came from the front. The trees and land in front were already covered with ice, and a large number of ice crystals were attached to the objects.
In this bizarre scene, a bright blue point of light appears above the ground.
"Everyone, stop first!!" Mr. Qin shouted hurriedly, and then stepped forward to carefully focus on a large number of blue light spots.
Everyone was also shocked by the scene in front of them. The temperature in front of them had obviously dropped by more than ten degrees. Moreover, only this area was an extremely cold place, and other places were far from reaching such low temperatures.
Mr. Qin looked at the blue light in front of him, and a trace of ecstasy could not help but appear on his face.
"This, this is the thousand-year-old Xuanbing Snow Lotus. Maybe it's because the Purple Qi came from the east and the auspiciousness descended from the sky to absorb a lot of spiritual energy, so we can meet it here." Mr. Qin said in surprise, with a trace of obsession flashing in his eyes.
.
Not to mention that thousand-year-old medicinal materials are rare even if they are hundreds of years old. This thousand-year-old Xuanbingxuelian is simply a priceless treasure.
Everyone couldn't help but secretly look at Shi Xiao while marveling. They didn't expect that the inconspicuous Shi Xiao could discover the treasure immediately.
At this time, Mr. Qin took out a small box from his arms.
This box is made of polished and carved mahogany, and it is also covered with a layer of red satin. This was specially used by Mr. Qin for rare medicinal materials, and now the box also contains an old wild ginseng.
However, the Millennium Mysterious Ice and Snow Lotus is like a cabbage, so General Qin put Laoshan Ginseng into his arms and stepped forward to pick the Millennium Mysterious Ice and Snow Lotus.
At this moment, Shi Xiao suddenly noticed the auras of many people coming from the front.
"Mr. Qin, don't come forward yet." Shi Xiao stopped Mr. Qin in a flash.
Mr. Qin was shocked when he saw this: "Mr. Shi, what's going on?! Why can't you go there?"
As soon as Mr. Qin finished speaking, a dozen figures suddenly appeared opposite the Millennium Mysterious Ice and Snow Lotus.
These people were wearing white snow ghillie suits and masks with black stripes and white background to cover their faces. And judging from their aura, they were all immortal cultivators.
Liu Jin and others were shocked when they saw this. They did not expect to meet someone else by such a chance. Moreover, judging from the way the other person was dressed, he must be from a noble family or a sect, but they did not reveal their true colors in order not to be exposed.
Wu Tianzhu and Ma Xianjue looked at each other, obviously aware of the other's strength.
"Mr. Qin, be careful! These people are very powerful." Liu Jin said coldly, while he and Song Meng stood in front of him. These uniformly dressed people in front of him were obviously masters.
The people opposite Millennium Xuanbing Snow Lotus were also looking at Shi Xiao and others.
"Cousin, someone actually found this natural treasure before us." A man in a long white coat said in surprise. Judging from his voice, he must be young.
"Sheng Huan, don't be anxious first, let's see which force the other party belongs to." The leader said calmly. This man was not very old, but his aura was already that of a foundation-building monk.
It turns out that these people are all members of a prosperous family that cultivates immortality. They came here with the same goal as Mr. Qin and others. Wherever there are strange phenomena in the world, there will inevitably be treasures of heaven and earth.
And this time the leader of the Sheng family is Shi Xiao's former mortal enemy, Sheng Chongwen.
He had returned to the Sheng family in the past few months after disappearing from Jiangzhou University. Sheng Chongwen used the family's elixirs and secret techniques to finally successfully enter the foundation building stage.
Originally, he wanted to avenge his embarrassment with Shi Xiao, but after something like this happened in Kunlun Nanling, he had no choice but to come here first.
However, he hadn't noticed that Shi Xiao was standing behind everyone. After hearing this, Sheng Heng flashed and came to Liu Jin and others.
"Who are you? Are you from that force?" Sheng Heng asked coldly.
"We are here to hunt for treasures. I guess your purpose is the same as ours. As for who we are, we are from Medicine God Valley." Liu Jin responded, while making a gesture to Song Meng and the people behind him.
"It turns out they are from Medicine God Valley, and we are members of the Sheng family. This time, our Sheng family wants the Millennium Mysterious Ice and Snow Lotus, and we can give you other items as compensation." Sheng Heng said coldly.
There are only seven great immortal cultivating families in Huaxia, and the Sheng family is considered one of the most powerful families among them. Although their number is not as large as those of super sects, their high-end combat power is no worse than theirs.
There are more than one palm of the Sheng family who have already broken through to the foundation building stage monks, and there are twenty or thirty monks in the Qi refining stage. There are more than 15 monks who are comparable to martial arts masters.
Liu Jin couldn't help but sneer after hearing this. This thousand-year-old mysterious ice and snow lotus is a priceless treasure. Its significance is immeasurable, and the Sheng family obviously wants to steal it.
"Your Excellency, you are joking. The Millennium Mysterious Ice and Snow Lotus is a rare sight in a hundred years. And this kind of treasure can only play its role in our Medicine God Valley."
"Our Medicine God Valley can compensate you for other elixirs, but what do you think of the Sheng family?" Liu Jin said coldly. Their Medicine God Valley is not so easy to compromise.
After Sheng Heng heard this, his face turned aside, and then he snorted coldly and returned to the Sheng family.
"Cousin, the other party is from Medicine God Valley. And they are not willing to give up this thousand-year-old Mysterious Ice Snow Lotus easily." Sheng Heng said in a low voice.
"Medicine God Valley?! Humph, it's really troublesome." Sheng Chongwen frowned.
Originally, he planned to just take the Xu Xuan Ice and Snow Lotus if the other party had no background. But as Yaoshen Valley is one of the super sects, the other party would definitely have experts.
"Cousin, if you ask me, we can just snatch it away. You are now a master in the foundation building stage." Sheng Heng said flatteringly.
After hearing this, a smile appeared on Sheng Chongwen's lips. The Sheng family paid a heavy price to let him become a Foundation Establishment Stage monk. Foundation Establishment Stage monks are comparable to those in the Golden Light Realm. It just so happened that he also wanted to see how strong he was.
"You are right, it is the last word to have a big fist." Sheng Chongwen said calmly.
Then he led the people of the Sheng family towards the Millennium Mysterious Ice and Snow Lotus, seemingly wanting to pluck it by force.
When Liu Jin and others saw this, their expressions changed, and then they rushed over with Song Meng and others. Zhao Xiaoqian, Wu Tianzhu and others also followed after seeing this.
They were helping in name, so they would not sit idly by in such a situation.
For a moment, both sides surrounded the Millennium Mysterious Ice and Snow Lotus, but no one dared to take action first. After all, the Mysterious Ice and Snow Lotus was very fragile, and if they fought accidentally, the Snow Lotus could be destroyed.
Shi Xiao and Li Chaoyuan watched silently at the end, and Shi Xiao was shocked when his spiritual consciousness swept away.
The other party was not only an immortal cultivator, but also many powerful people. The aura of the leader had reached the foundation-building stage, but Shi Xiao always felt that the other party's aura was a bit weird.
Sheng Chongwen seemed to be aware of it, and his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Shi Xiao. But there were many people blocking the front, and he couldn't see Shi Xiao's figure, but he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.
Liu Jin stepped forward at this time and said coldly: "It seems that both of us want to get rid of this Xuanbing Snow Lotus. In this case, you can come up with a solution."
When Sheng Heng saw this, he couldn't help but look at Sheng Chongwen behind him, and he had an idea in his mind.
"In this case, we will face each other three times. After that, if you win two games, it will be considered as your win." Sheng Heng said coldly.
Although Sheng Chongwen was there, the opposite side was Yaoshen Valley after all. If a conflict broke out, he was afraid that there would be casualties on both sides.
So they simply proposed a best-of-three-game competition. With Sheng Chongwen in their midst, they would definitely win. And there was a high probability that the opponent would accept this method.
After hearing this, Liu Jin couldn't help but look at the people behind him, and they all nodded.
After hearing this, Liu Jin couldn't help but nodded slightly, then turned around and said, "Okay, sure. Your Sheng family is also a famous family, so I guess you won't keep your promise."
"Huh, that's natural." Sheng Heng said coldly.
Then he appeared in front of Liu Jin and others in a flash. It seemed that he was the first one to take action from the Sheng family this time.
As Sheng Chongwen's cousin, Sheng Heng is about the same age as Li Chaoyuan, but he is also at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, which is equivalent to the third-level cultivation of a martial arts master.
Liu Jin couldn't help but look a little ugly when he saw this. Only now did he notice Sheng Heng's aura. The aura on the other person's body was very thick, and he must have surpassed the level of a martial arts master.
But things can't be done now. The other party sounds like he is very young and inexperienced in fighting. I have experienced hundreds of battles, so I still have a good chance of winning.
At this time, Sheng Heng pulled out the cyan sword from his waist, and a layer of cyan protective aura appeared on his body.
Liu Jin's face instantly became serious, and with a slight movement of his hands, two daggers appeared. A large amount of white Gang Qi also appeared around his body, and the surrounding wind and snow were blown away by the Gang Qi.
In order to avoid the battle from affecting Xuan Bing Snow Lotus, the two of them could fight far away from here. Song Meng, Mr. Qin and others stood where they were, watching the duel between the two seriously and nervously.
Shi Xiao's figure was hidden at the end, and he stared intently at the battle between the two. It was rare for him to encounter immortal cultivators from the Huaxia Kingdom. He had to see what methods the immortal cultivators from the Huaxia Kingdom used.
The two sides faced off for a moment, and two figures, one green and one white, collided instantly.
In an instant, Gang Qi and Spiritual Qi collided in the air, and the surrounding giant trees and the ground were scratched with scars. Sheng Heng held a cyan long sword with agile sword skills, and sword Qi roared out.
On the other hand, Liu Jin was very calm, and the thick Gang Qi attached to his two swords made it airtight and resisted the sword energy.
The battle between the two lasted for more than ten minutes. In the end, Liu Jin relied on his own combat experience and strategy to narrowly win against Sheng Heng.
Chapter completed!
