Chapter 8: The Unlucky Floating Jade Cold Toad

Fuyu Sacred Mountain is extremely magical. It has two colors, and is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round. The part exposed outside the sea of ​​clouds is as white as jade. However, the mountainside is no different from ordinary peaks. It is covered with green forests. There are deep caves at the foot of the mountain. The caves wind down. The turbulent water flow will gush out at a fixed time every day. The source of Jiuxi and Eighteen Streams around Fuyu Sacred Mountain is here.

Legend has it that those caves can reach the deepest part of the sacred mountain, with countless geniuses and treasures inside, but they have never been proven for thousands of years.

It would be fine if those low-level disciples had not returned to the expedition. More than 3,000 years ago, the elders of the late stage of Fuyu Sect, who could not break through the Infant Transformation Period, felt that their lifespan was not long, and they worked together to find opportunities. However, there was no news since then. It was not until hundreds of years later that a jade slip was washed out by the water flowing out, and there was a few words inside that "You can't enter within the nine turns."

Since the beginning of the Fuyu Sect, there are very few Nascent Soul Stages. Not to mention the Nine Turns, since then, a hundred miles below the foot of the Fuyu Sect has become the forbidden area of ​​the entire Fuyu Sect.

The Fuyu Han Toad is one of the most famous genius treasures in Fuyu Mountain.

According to legend, the Floating Jade Cold Toad was transformed from the spiritual milk in the belly of Fuyu Mountain. It is a treasure that can help the immortal seedlings grow. It is extremely rare. Since the Fuyu Sect opened up, it has only been two of them, and it has now disappeared for thousands of years.

It is said that although this thing is magical, it has unparalleled cold poison. Don’t let the monks in the God Transformation Stage use it. Even if they touch it, they will be turned into an ice sculpture. Therefore, the floating jade cold toad is also called the floating jade poison toad. Only after removing the cold poison can it be a real genius treasure.

But this removal of cold poison is a water grinding skill. It requires slowly refining it with vital energy. It can only be a trace at a time, and even experts in the alchemy stage will take several years.

In fact, most of the legends in the world are the result of some rumors spread by others, but some are still very reliable.

There is a magical place at the deepest part of the belly of Fuyu Sacred Mountain. It is a cave with a length of several feet wide. There are strange stalactites hanging on it. Unlike ordinary stalactites, these stones emit milky white light, reflecting the cave with dark and mysterious. But strangely, this place that should have been dark and humid is particularly dry, and there is not even a trace of water vapor on the ground or on the rock wall.

In the middle of the cave, there is a stalactite that only several people can embrace. The white and delicate stone is shaped like a milk. The most amazing thing is that there is a blood-red protrusion at the bottom, just like a **. Only a small pool of water is under this stone, and there is a pool of milky white liquid in the pool.

The stalactite will drip a drop of spiritual milk every nine years. This dog in the pond has accumulated for thousands of years. This year, it was originally when the spiritual milk drips, but what is dripping is a drop of blood-red thing.

The drop seemed to be a living thing. As soon as it fell into the pool, the surrounding spiritual breasts bubbled up. Not long after, the pool of spiritual breasts disappeared without a trace. There was a small toad in the pool, which was milky white all over, the size of a thumb, and a little red cinnabar mark on its forehead.

This is the floating jade cold toad.

It is transformed from the essence of heaven and earth. It is born with wisdom. After it is born, it follows its instinct to seek food. After croaking, it jumped out of the pond and followed the smell of spiritual medicine and drilled out of a small cave next to the cave.

There are many secret realms in the belly of Fuyu Mountain, and countless geniuses and treasures. As long as they are not as curious as some of their predecessors, they are caught outside the mountain, these things can be supported until they complete their first transformation.

When its first transformation is over, it will turn into the floating jade cold? You can enter the eternal pond at the Fuyu Shen Mountain to practice until it turns into a cold dragon. From then on, the world will let it linger.

Although it is just a small cold toad, the cold poison on its body is enough to protect itself. There are really few monsters and spirit beasts in the mountain belly who dare to provoke it.

It crawled through caves, and the aroma of the elixir was getting closer and closer. It had not eaten since its birth and couldn't help but feel excited. Even the cinnabar on its forehead showed a little red light, which was a sign of its good mood.

Just ahead, in the middle of a pool several meters wide, there was a silver reef. On the reef there was a magic medicine with red leaves all over the body, like the tail of a phoenix.

The cold toad was very happy. Although it belongs to Yin, it likes this kind of fire-type spiritual medicine. This one in front of it is the best!

The cinnabar on its forehead became brighter, and it jumped over in a hurry. When it reached the edge of the pond, it jumped towards the reef. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in the pond water, a ruler wide, and the barbs were rolled up at it, and with a gurgle, he swallowed it.

There is still something in the belly of this mountain to eat me? Ah, it hurts so let's die together! This is the last thought of the cold toad, which released all the cold poison in its body in this moment.

The round black shadows, which were so long and short, instantly turned into an ice sculpture and fell into the pool next to them with a thud. Soon, even the pool formed thick ice.

It was not until thousands of years later that the ice in the pool gradually melted. One day, a dead monster was washed out from the cave below the Fuyu Shen Mountain with the daily tides, and flowed out of the forbidden area along the turbulent water flow.

There is a stone mountain three hundred miles outside the Fuyu Sacred Mountain. There are no trees on the mountain. There are many caves in the mountain. There are clear water gurgling down in each hole, like thin bead chains hanging on the mountain, so it is called Water Curtain Mountain.

More than a thousand years ago, a monk from Fuyu Sect broke through the Jidan period and opened his own branch and placed the entrance of the hall on the Water Curtain Mountain. The monk's surname was Di, so he changed his name to Dishan.

Dishan Hall is one of the most powerful branches of the Fuyu Sect except the Five Gods Hall. The ancestor of the Jiedan stage has now entered the Nascent Soul and is one of the most important figures in the entire Fuyu Sect.

Di Tongtong is a disciple who has just entered the dishan Hall. Her father is a blood relative of the ancestor, but she is a concubine. It is the bloodline left by her father when he was in the beginning of the sect and a mortal royal princess. Di Tongtong was smart since childhood. At the last time when the sect was opened, the father and daughter recognized each other, and she had fairy seedlings, so she was taken to the mountain.

However, her fairy seedlings are only one or two cents, and her qualifications are not good. Her cheap father is also a fickle person and has many children. How can she care about her? After three years of hard work, she has just entered the Qi-inducing period. Now she is fourteen years old, and the foundation-building period is still far away.

Fortunately, she is beautiful and cute. Although she grew up in the mortal royal family, she does not have the kind of princess temperament. She is gentle and can be loved by her fellow disciples in Dishan Hall. On weekdays, some senior brothers also like to take her around.

Around Fuyu Sacred Mountain, although most of the peaks have become branches of the hall, there are many dense forests, canyons and caves at the foot of the mountain. There are still many places where you can pick good medicinal materials or hunt valuable monsters. And it is close to the hall, so there is no big danger. It is the most suitable place for those disciples of the Qi-induced Qi and Foundation Building Realm to explore treasures.

On this day, Di Tongtong followed several senior brothers to a place called Tangtingjian next to Dishan.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?" Di Tongtong sat on a rock by the stream, took off his shoes and socks, stretched his tender white jade feet into the stream, and naughtyly fiddled with a round pebbles under the water.

She was only fourteen years old and had not yet fully grown, but even so she was very pretty. She was not tall, but petite and cute. She was wearing an ordinary robe. When she was playing in the water, she was zipped up, revealing her slender calves and skin was like cream. She had a pair of agile eyes, and when her eyes were flowing, she seemed to have stars, and her face was slightly fat, but her skin was as bright as jade and could be broken, and her face was pink and tender.

After coming to this Tangtingjian, several senior brothers went into the water and didn't know what they were looking for. At first, Di Tongtong thought they were fishing, but from noon to now, he had walked up the stream for more than ten miles in a few hours, but he couldn't even touch a piece of fish scales.

"Junior Sister Tongtong, you can come down too. Maybe you are lucky and you can find good things all at once!" A senior brother raised his head with a smile.

Di Tongtong pouted, flipped his hand, took out a fruit, chewed it, and said vaguely: "I'm going to replenish it... I love fish..."

The senior brother laughed and said, "If you can do whatever you want, you will definitely have your share if you really want to find good things!"

The two were chatting, and Di Tongtong suddenly widened her eyes, tried to swallow the fruit in her mouth, pointed to the upstream of the stream and said in surprise: "Senior Brother, what is that?"

Not long after, several senior brothers got ashore, and a group of people watched around a strange monster.

Di Tongtong was the most curious, lowering her little head, making it closest.

The round body has a messy barb on it, and it looks like a hedgehog with a big belly. What is this?

The oldest senior brother looked carefully, and finally sighed and said, "I thought it was something good, just a little glutton..."

"Taotie? Isn't this a divine beast? We're rich?" Di Tongtong was shocked, his eyes wide open, and he was so round and cute.

"Haha, this little Taotie is not a divine beast, it is the most useless thing. It has nothing to do except eat anything well. Because they are really delicious, they are nicknamed Xiao Taotie. On weekdays, it is flat and only when it is foraging, so I didn't recognize it at once."

"Isn't it useless?" Di Tongtong was quite disappointed. She thought it would be a valuable monster that could be exchanged for some talisman money. She poked the barb on the monster's body with her hand, and withdrew back with a hiss: "What an ice..."

The senior brother nodded: "Well, this thing was originally a lot, and it belonged to the lowest-level beast. It has not yet been wise enough, and even monsters are not considered a monster. In places where it often appears, you can just catch it by just a trap and hang a piece of pork. Later, because it was so easy to catch, it gradually disappeared. Now it hasn't been seen for a long time."

"Isn't it useless?" Di Tongtong was still a little unwilling to give up. She had not used the Yuan Pill for two months, and her cultivation level had been stagnant.

"It cannot be said that it is useless at all. When Xiao Taotie was alive, the acid secreted in her stomach was a highly toxic medicine. There were several halls that were still collected. However, after it died, the acid liquid would inexplicably turn into useless liquid. Now only its stomach is worth a little money. After washing it, it can be made of glue. It is also a good ingredient. It can be handed over to the dining room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to exchange for a small amount of money."

"Can you exchange for a small amount of money..." Di Tongtong's eyes lit up. She has been a little money fan since she was a child. A small amount of money is nothing to those senior brothers in the foundation-building realm, but it is still quite tempting to her.

"Haha, if you want it, please keep it. Let's go into the water to find it. This Tangting River originates from Fuyu Shenshan, and occasionally there will be vital stones that will be washed out..."

"Ah, is there a vital energy stone? Senior brother, don't you tell me earlier!" Di Tongtong hurriedly put the little Taotie into his Sumeru Ring, and jumped into the water with a thud.

This Sumeru Ring is the only gift her father gave her and it is also her most precious thing. You should know that many senior brothers in the essence refining realm do not have it, which is why many senior brothers like to bring her when they come out to explore treasure hunts.

They said it was an adventure to search for treasures, but in fact there were not so many treasures to find. Most of the time, they just hunted some monsters. It was actually more reliable to say that they were hunting. Many of the monsters were huge in body, and they had a Sumeru ring, which made it much easier to put out prey.
