After entering the secret cave, Ustu and his four companions actually looked for Li Yan and the other two, but the entrance was facing three directions.
They sent people to search in every direction, and after searching for a while, they still couldn't find any trace of Li Yan and the other person, so they had to give up for the time being.
In fact, the direction they finally headed was the same as Li Yan's!
However, Ustu and others had wasted time searching before.
In addition, although Li Yan was heading in the same direction as them, he had never been here after all, so there was still a deviation from the route chosen by Ustu and the others where there were fewer cultivators and monsters.
As a result, the two sides never collided.
As Andie spoke, she had already thrown out a palm-sized light red array disk, and then quickly danced her white arms, slowly creating a large snow-white phantom in the air.
As she danced and made hand gestures, a translucent reddish light curtain slowly rose from the phantoms and quickly enveloped the five people.
At the moment when the five people were covered, the light curtain dissipated, and the figures of the five people disappeared from the spot. Looking from below, there was nothing there.
In the sky above the previous location, five figures quickly emerged from an invisible light shield.
In the light shield, the skinny and dark old Taoist spoke again.
"With the cover of this formation created by Fellow Daoist An Die, unless there are Yuanying cultivators investigating, the 'Black Cloud Frost Condensation Insect' will not be aware of our ambush even if it has reached the peak of the late third stage."
After he said this, the others nodded in agreement.
They invited An Die to join because of her attainments in formation. Most people here have fought against this seductive demon before.
Although An Die's combat power is not as good as theirs, once she is given the opportunity to set up a formation, the outcome will be hard to predict.
Seeing this, An Die giggled even more, and the white skin on her chest made several people dizzy.
The skinny and dark old Taoist quickly looked away, suppressed the heat in his heart and then continued speaking.
"Then let's confirm the distribution we agreed on before. Don't let your hearts be disturbed when you see the 'Black Cloud Frost Condensation Insect'. If you do that, we will only cause internal strife."
There were two fake infant monks here, the skinny black old Taoist and the man in the black cloak. But the skinny black old Taoist's aura was obviously longer and more condensed, and everyone seemed to think he was the leader.
"There's actually no need to say more about this. None of us five would go back on our word."
The man in the black cloak spoke in a hoarse voice, while the skinny and dark old Taoist waved his hand.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, everyone here knows everyone else's background, don't say that some people don't have the idea of sitting back and reaping the benefits.
The reason I brought this up is to let everyone know how ferocious the 'Black Cloud Frost Condensate Insect' is. If one is not careful and is even sprayed with a breath of evil spirit by it, one could end up being seriously injured.
There are three types of materials that the 'Black Cloud Frost Condensate' can distribute: the flesh, the demon core, and the air sac containing ice poison in its throat.
Fellow Daoist Andie is fine, she only needs her body to refine pills, while the demon core and ice poison gas bag are shared among the four of us.
It was said before that it would be divided equally, because whether the search for the 'Fire Sun Stone' would be successful was still a matter of debate.
Now, I think it would be most appropriate to distribute the shares based on how much each person actually contributed!
Fellow Daoist An Die has basically fulfilled her promise, and if she gets that body, she can..."
This time, before the skinny and dark old Taoist could finish his words, Ustu and the hunchbacked man's faces turned dark.
"Niubizi, why don't you just say that we will distribute it according to the level of cultivation? Even if we try our best, we can't compare with you and Chen Daoyou."
The hunchbacked man tilted his head and said with disdain on his face.
"You didn't tell me earlier or later, but only brought it up after we worked hard with Daoist An Die to set up the formation. Is this your real purpose?"
Although Wusitu did not say anything, he looked at the skinny and dark old Taoist with a gloomy face, and his eyes also showed disdain.
They all knew that although An Die also needed to separate materials, what she wanted was the physical body of the 'Black Cloud Frost Condensation Insect'.
The body of a third-level monster is very valuable, but they need the other two things on the Black Cloud Frost Condensate Insect that are even more valuable. There are only so many of them, so the more and the less is naturally very important.
The skinny and dark old Taoist raised his eyebrows. What he really meant was that he was afraid that these people would not really use their full strength in order to conserve their strength.
In this underground secret cave, everyone knows that if one gets injured, the consequence, if it’s a bit serious, may mean the loss of one’s life.
Just when several people had different opinions, suddenly their faces turned strange and they all looked in one direction.
Then, the five people's faces were filled with surprise at first, and then they all showed joy.
"Fellow Daoist An Die, it seems that your formation can be moved, don't disturb the monsters here..."
"Then let's put aside the matter of the 'Black Cloud Frost Condensate Insect' for now and divide up the other benefits first!"
Wusitu and the skinny, dark-skinned old Taoist spoke one after the other, and the others nodded one after another...
More than three thousand miles away, two figures were flying slowly along the river bank. From time to time, they sent their spiritual sense into the river to search carefully.
After Li Yan withdrew his spiritual sense, he looked up at the towering black mountain across the river.
"According to the description on the jade slip, the last time the 'Hello Cold Stone' was found was on the edge of this river bank, but there is no specific location, only a rough range.
We searched all the way here, but to no avail.
However, I feel that this mountain is icy cold all over, and it may be that for some reason it can produce "cold stones".
The place where it was born is exactly the lower half of the mountain, where the coldest air is, and which has been soaked in the river since ancient times.
If this is true, the possibility of the 'No. Cold Stone' appearing on the opposite bank of the river would be even greater!"
Since they found the river, they have been searching along the river bank for some time according to the description in the jade slip.
"What Junior Brother said makes sense. This side of the river is close to the plain, and the fog will spread to the river. Before being dispelled by the cold air, the spiritual energy in the fog will still affect the temperature on this side of the river.
The 'Hao Hanshi' is an extremely yin object, and the conditions for its growth are extremely high. Relatively speaking, the probability on the other side of the river is indeed much higher.
This way, Junior Brother, you go to the other side of the river to search, and I'll search here, and it will be much faster!! "
Li Yan nodded, he had the same idea. Although the river was only about 140 feet wide, for them, it would only take a quick sweep of their spiritual sense.
However, some treasures may not be found by spiritual awareness alone, but require the use of various sensory powers, such as magic power, sight, smell, and even perception when approaching.
Li Yan didn't say anything more. He immediately flashed and flew towards the foot of the mountain across the river.
They planned to search the river carefully in about half a month. If nothing was found, they would have to give up and spend the rest of the time looking at the broken statue that Su Hong mentioned.
After redetermining the approach, the two men searched forward on both sides of the river while also being alert to the situation around them.
When they came across the plain earlier, they encountered several groups of monks, and Li Yan and his companions tried to stay away from them.
Although he and Zhao Min are not afraid of the strength of those people now, with their personalities, they don't want to waste time on these things.
As long as it is not too troublesome, we will avoid it if possible.
But even so, Li Yan and his companions were still chased for thousands of miles by three of the cultivators, and had to turn around and fight with the other side.
After severely injuring the other two, the three monks realized that they had hit a wall and fled in panic. Li Yan and the other two did not chase after them.
Therefore, at any time here they would separate a wisp of their spiritual consciousness to be vigilant and defend the surroundings.
In this way, the two of them continued searching as they moved forward, flying more than a thousand miles along the river.
At a certain moment, Li Yan and Zhao Min's bodies suddenly stopped almost at the same time, and they both felt an unsettling palpitation coming from the depths of their souls.
This was the keen sense that came from years of walking on the edge of life and death. The two of them had almost no hesitation and shouted at each other at the same time.
"careful!"
At the same time, the two men quickly gathered towards the middle of the river, but just as they flew towards each other, several loud and wild laughs sounded above their heads.
"Hahaha, your sensitivity is quite good!!"
"I told you to just do it, but now they found out first and we lost the opportunity!"
Li Yan and Zhao Min's flying figures towards each other suddenly stopped, and Li Yan's face turned embarrassed in an instant.
He and Zhao Min were separated and surrounded before they could gather together! !
What made him most uneasy was that the opponent had already reached above their heads, but he still didn't notice it. This almost never happened before.
Instead, their instincts reacted first in the life-and-death crisis, which prevented them from being caught off guard.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Li Yan was even more shocked after seeing the cultivation level of these people. There were five people on the other side, and they were the group of Ustu they had seen before.
How could they sneak up to me so quietly
But before Li Yan could continue to think of the reason, he was surrounded by two people in a fan shape, Wusitu and the skinny and dark old Taoist.
Zhao Min was also surrounded by the other three on the other side.
"Friend Zhang, what a fate, we meet again!"
When Wusitu saw Li Yan’s somewhat gloomy face, he felt relieved.
"What do you want to do?"
Li Yan first glanced at Zhao Min. The two sides had just formed a confrontation and had not yet taken action. His mind was racing as he thought about countermeasures.
His face had regained its calmness. He stared at Wustu and the skinny and dark old man, and spoke word by word.
"Nothing, I just want to borrow something from you two Taoist friends?"
The skinny and dark old Taoist priest spoke slowly.
"Lend me your life?"
Li Yan narrowed his eyes.
"Wulian Tianzun, hehe, so what you asked just now was nonsense!!"
The skinny and dark old Taoist saluted with one hand, appearing very gentle and polite.
"Ustu, I have a good relationship with your Giant Wood Clan, and I have even met your ancestors. Do the nobles know about your actions?"
Li Yan no longer paid attention to the skinny and dark old Taoist, but looked at Wustu.
Wusitu was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't know that Li Yan had met his ancestor.
Because he was still in seclusion at that time, and Ting Bixiao directly led Li Yan and the other two into the depths of the clan. Even his spies did not dare to stare at what their clan leader was doing all day long.
He was stunned for a moment, then he felt that the other party was just using a big banner to cover up something important.
My ancestor is a Nascent Soul expert. The other party has already benefited from the "Wood Essence Pool". Why does my ancestor want to see him? It is simply nonsense.
Thinking back to the fact that the other party had poisoned him, he felt that the other party was extremely insidious and was always trying to use other methods to plot against him.
"My ancestor really knows about this..."
Ustu said jokingly, but before he finished speaking, the hoarse voice of the man in the black cloak came from the other side.
"You guys talk too much nonsense, but there are more important things!"
Just as the hoarse voice was heard, there was a continuous "boom boom boom" sound on the other side, and the surrounding space became violently agitated.
In an instant, the three of them started attacking Zhao Min.
A charming female cultivator in the early stage of Jindan, a hunchbacked man in the late stage of Jindan,
The man in the black cloak suddenly had a strong aura and his cultivation increased greatly. He turned out to be the strongest Jindan cultivator, a false infant cultivator.
Li Yan and the others can hide their aura, and so can others.
