Chapter 104: Preparing to Set Off

  PS: Let's make the monthly ticket come more fiercely... Everyone's subscription is the author's motivation for writing.

  Chihiro's Ice Valley!

  Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine: You're really my sister, aren't you? The distance from Qian Xun Ice Valley to the Dongzhou where the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect is located is over a million miles, even Sun Wukong would have to flip over ten times to get past it. Not to mention that there's also the vast 'Endless Sea' in between. Sister, you say go and we'll go, it's really as simple as that for you, isn't it?

  Ye Feng hastily pulled Mu Zhaoxue and said: "Mu Shijie is really efficient, saying go then go, but the Inverse Sword Sect and the distant Qian Xun Ice River are far apart. Even if we go, we need to prepare in advance, besides, the materials for activating the law array have not been fully prepared yet. I think it's better to make good preparations before going."

  Mu Zhaoxue nodded and said: "Alright, then we'll split up to prepare. When I'm ready, I'll go to your cave to find you."

  Ye Feng looked at Mu Zhaoxue with a suspicious gaze and said, "Wait a minute, Mu Shifu, you just said that this kind of earth fire is extremely rare. Then how did you know that place had it?"

  Mu Zhaoxue smiled and said, "You also know that when we cultivate to break through the 'Condensation Period', we all need to find a vein of the earth to assist our body in condensing energy into law. However, it's not easy to find a pure vein of the earth. I've been saving up dan medicine for several months, and the quality is pretty good. Then I used these dan medicines to exchange for information about a pure 'Two Extreme Yuan Magnetic Earth Vein' at the 'Four Seas Faith Alliance' in Dongzhou."

  Earth vein! Ye Feng's mind quickly flashed back to memories of this term: Zixiao True Person had told me before that to break through to the Condensation Period, one must have the help of an earth vein. The fewer people who use an earth vein, the purer it is; using a purer earth vein, after breaking through to the Condensation Period, the power of the Spiritual Laws will be even greater.

  As for what she said about the "Two Extreme Yuan Magnetic Veins", it is a very pure vein that will disappear once used by humans, and most importantly, there must be a companion of "Yin Yang Two Instrumental Earth Fire" nearby. It can be said that where there are "Two Extreme Yuan Magnetic Veins", there will definitely be this kind of "Yin Yang Two Instrumental Earth Fire" nearby, and vice versa, the two are complementary to each other.

  Mu Zhaoxue looked at Ye Feng and continued: "Later, because the road was too far away, my own strength was not enough at that time, so I gave up going to Qianxun Ice River to find that vein, and found a pure vein from a relatively close place. Only then did I break through to the Condensation Period, so that vein should still be there."

  Ye Feng scratched his head and said, "I do know about the earth's pulse, but what is this 'Four Seas Alliance' all about? How did he know where to find such a rare earth pulse?"

  "It's not just rare earth veins, as long as your things are valuable enough, even the rarest things can be found," Mu Zhaoxue smiled and continued: "The Four Seas Alliance is the largest message exchange venue in Dongzhou, their people are all over the world, as long as you can meet their requirements, basically any information can be obtained, of course, if you have valuable information, you can also exchange it with the 'Four Seas Alliance'."

  Ye Feng was taken aback and thought to himself: "Damn, this guy is really well-informed, even more so than the paparazzi!" Although he thought this, he still had some doubts and furrowed his brow, asking: "How do you know that the information he gave you is true? What if it's false, wouldn't we be making a wasted trip?"

  Mu Zhaoxue said with a flick of her head, "The Four Seas Guild relies on selling information to make a living. If they sell fake information all day, who will go to them to exchange information in the future?"

  Ye Feng nodded and said: "That's true, but what if we travel thousands of miles to that place and someone else has already used up the vein of energy?"

  "Ha ha... you think too much, there aren't that many what-ifs. Let's just consider it a trip out for experience, don't you want to come with me?"

  Ye Feng's eyes rolled around in thought: Having come to this world, he hadn't left the sect for so long, and it was about time he took a trip out. It would be good to experience the outside world, especially with a beautiful woman by his side. However, this journey was going to be long, and later on, he still had to help her refine equipment. Although she had given him an Extreme Flame Emperor Snake Dan earlier, he couldn't afford to make a loss on this deal.

  Ye Fengling's eyes sparkled as he smiled and said, "How could that be? It's my honor to go out and train with a beautiful woman like Mu Shifu. Also, don't forget to bring me some more authentic disciple pills next time."

  Mu Zhaoxue looked back with some confusion and said: "Does refining equipment still require medicinal pellets?"

  Ye Feng rubbed his forehead and said: "Eh... this formation is a bit special."

  Mu Zhaoxue smiled lightly and nodded, saying: "Oh, I see. Then you should also hurry back to prepare." As she spoke, she walked out from the entrance of the cave.

  In the empty and desolate Fei Yang Tian Gong, only Ye Feng was left. Suddenly, a voice from Ni Yu echoed in Ye Feng's sea of consciousness: "It seems you've already decided to help her refine the magic treasure."

  Ye Feng said to the loach in the sea of consciousness, "Yes, this opportunity is rare, and we can use the earth fire there to practice some elixirs. The most important thing is that I want to temporarily leave Xia Fei Yang Peak for a while. Those immortal second generations, I'm not afraid of them, but being disturbed every day makes it impossible to calm down and cultivate. Going out and traveling to calm down and cultivate is also good."

  "Great!" The loach jumped up and down excitedly in the sea of consciousness.

  Ye Feng said helplessly: "What's wrong again? What makes you so happy?"

  "Mudskipper grasped his waist with both dragon claws and said: 'From here to Qian Xun Ice River, we must pass through the Endless Sea. In that place, Tianxiao Emperor once turned his hand into clouds and covered his hand in rain. At that time, the entire Endless Sea was Tianxiao Emperor's territory. There are countless rare treasures and legendary stories that can't be finished. Returning there is like returning to my home. How can I not be happy? Haha...'"

  Ye Feng nodded and said: "Although I haven't been there, it sounds interesting. However, we are just passing through the Endless Sea, our destination is the Thousand Search Ice River in the Far North."

  "Hmph, even if it's just a coincidence, ever since the 'Five Elements True Dragon Technique' fell into Zi Xiao's hands, I haven't been back in hundreds of years. Now I finally have the chance to go back and take a look."

  Yefeng smiled and said: "Just in time, we're missing a tour guide. Later on, you can introduce us to the beautiful scenery of the sea."

  "You think it's a pleasure trip? The sea is full of countless demons and giant beasts, everywhere are scattered various small sects, they don't care about reputation or righteousness, as long as there's profit to be made, they'll kill each other, fight for resources, and robbery is nothing out of the ordinary. After they're done, they can just hide in the deep sea, and finding them to take revenge would be like looking for a needle on the ocean floor."

  Yefeng curled his lip and said: "It turns out that the sea is so treacherous, I thought it would be fun, looks like being careful is better."

  The mud loach proudly said with a face full of pride: "These are very dangerous for you, but in front of the Tianhao Great Emperor, they are not even worth mentioning. They are simply a dish that can't be more ordinary. In those days, even the nine major sects of the Endless Sea, the thirteen demons of Hai Xie, and other powerful demons and immortals all submitted to the majesty of the Tianhao Great Emperor. Throughout the entire Endless Sea, as long as the Tianhao Great Emperor said no, no one dared to say otherwise."

  Ye Feng's face was filled with astonishment as he said, "Damn, Tian Xuan Emperor is indeed worthy of ascending to become a dragon. Just listening to you say that makes me feel an overwhelming sense of dominance."

  The catfish continued to speak in the sea of consciousness, "Of course, oh right, I was so busy talking about this that I forgot about the main thing. Are you going to help Mu Zhaoxue refine the magic treasure?"

  "Of course, it's because of this matter that I went to Senkichi Ice Valley, what's wrong?"

  "Mudskipper nodded and said, 'I'll tell you a secret. If you can find the Earth Fire, when you're refining that piece of "Inferno Snake Scales", take the opportunity to drip your own blood onto that top-grade soul equipment, and it will resonate with the bloodline of the Inferno Snake Scales.'"

  Ye Feng asked curiously: "Blood veins connected? What's going on?"

  "The mud loach spoke with a scholarly air, saying: 'Each treasure is produced by the fusion of spiritual energy and soul. Once it has a soul, it also has life. When you refine it, drop your own blood on it, and afterwards, you will be able to communicate with its soul and transmit your own power into it.'"

  Ye Feng was taken aback, staring with both eyes and said: "Transmit my power into it? Wouldn't that mean I can control it then? However, Master once said that my cultivation is not even at the Condensation Period of Qi Refining, let alone Spiritual Law, and I'm unable to use a spiritual tool, not to mention a treasure."

  "When you reach the Condensation Period, you can use it. However, even if you have reached the Condensation Period, you can only exert one-third of its power. Later, as your cultivation improves, the power you can exert will become greater. In short, the benefit of your blood now is that when Mu Zhaoxue activates this treasure, you can transmit your own power into the treasure, making its power even greater."

  "Really?" Yefeng nodded and said: "Being able to help her in a crucial moment is enough, can every treasure be used like this?"

  "Of course not," said the mudskipper with a serious face: "This Flame Snake Scale is made from the nearly transformed Extreme Flame Emperor Snake, plus a few extremely rare scales of the Flood Dragon, both of which are dragon breeds. And you happen to have ancient dragon blood in your body, which allows it to communicate with its bloodline. Otherwise, even if you drained all your blood, it would be useless. I've followed the Heavenly Flood Dragon Emperor for thousands of years and have never seen anyone whose bloodline matches that of a magical treasure."

  Ye Feng smiled and said: "You really know a lot, I'll try it out later. I'll go back and prepare first, and then I still need to say hello to Master."

  Out of Feiyang Tiangong, the sun had already set, Ye Feng raised his sword and returned to his own cave in the last afterglow of sunset.

  Inside the cave, only Xiaoliangzi was left. Seeing Ye Feng return, Xiaoliangzi stood up and smiled: "Big brother is back, how was the trial?"
