After storing the Snow Spirit's main demon core into the jade box, Li Yan put the jade box away casually. Although the Snow Spirit's main essence was gone in the demon core and it could no longer actively catalyze the blue ghost fire to refine and fuse the swallowed Yang Fire, the two things were originally incompatible with each other. After they intertwined and met, they would instinctively continue to fuse with the other side. Without the active consciousness, the process would be longer. It was obvious that the blue ghost fire was more powerful here, and sooner or later it would fuse all of Cheng Wenming's Yang Fire.
After placing the Snow Spirit Lord's demon core, Li Yan's spiritual sense probed outside the cave again. After re-inspecting it, he nodded with satisfaction. Because the cave chosen by the Snow Spirit Lord was very secluded, although the Snow Spirit Lord's spirit screamed before dying just now, no other demon beasts came here for the time being.
Li Yan set his sights on the ice block that had been floating in the air and had several talismans attached to it. He narrowed his eyes again and pondered. After a moment, Li Yan sighed. Although he knew that something similar to "Melting Bamboo Shoots" must be extraordinary, if he could know its origin and make good use of it, it might become a powerful weapon for him.
But after thinking about it, Li Yan gave up this tempting idea, because he didn't know what this thing was at all. He had an unknown thing with him. Although he also knew that the ice that sealed the fake "Rongsun" was not ordinary, since it could be sealed before, it could certainly be sealed in the future, but Li Yan still didn't want to keep this thing with him.
By the time he left the Beiming Demon Suppression Tower, he had already changed the space. He had no guarantee that the fake "Rongsun" could still be sealed in the ice. At that time, it was possible that it would bring him unnecessary trouble without any warning.
After looking around, Li Yan stretched out his hand, first took the ice back into his hand, and then awkwardly cast a spell towards the already open cave entrance. After two breaths, the cave entrance was hidden again.
Li Yan had read the jade slips before. Apart from the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation", the other two formations in this cave were only slightly better than the one he had. The formulas for controlling the other two formations were not too complicated. With Li Yan's memory and mastery of the formations, he could still perform them, but he was a little unfamiliar with them. If he wanted to perform them smoothly, he just had to practice more times in the future. However, he couldn't master the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" so easily.
Li Yan held the jade box in his hand, and scanned the formation at the entrance of the cave with his spiritual sense again. He confirmed again that the formation had been reopened and the cave had returned to its hidden state. Then he walked to the center of the cave, pinched his fingers, and sank directly into the depths of the ground.
Earlier, when the Snow Spirit Lord proposed "melting bamboo shoots", Li Yan was really excited for a moment, and his mood was fluctuating. Then the Snow Spirit Lord showed unusual cooperation. At first, Li Yan really thought that his intimidation had worked. However, although Li Yan was inexperienced, he was always careful in his actions. So when he pretended to help the Snow Spirit Lord to slightly block the burning of the Yang Fire after being swallowed, he was actually wrapping up his spirit more finely. In that way, if there was any abnormality in the Snow Spirit Lord's spirit, he would find it at the first time.
As expected, when Li Yan was reading the formation jade slip, the Snow Spirit Lord's spirit was still in a relatively stable state, but when Li Yan began to collapse the ice outside the "Melting Bamboo Shoots", the Snow Spirit Lord's spirit fluctuated three times. If the first fluctuation was probably due to the heartache of losing the "Melting Bamboo Shoots", Li Yan could understand that, but as the ice broke, the second fluctuation of the Snow Spirit Lord's spirit was very short.
So Li Yan slowed down the speed of the collapsing ice, increased his vigilance, and focused his spiritual sense on the ice debris he had collapsed. Unlike any frozen objects in the cave, the ice debris that fell on the ground felt vaguely out of tune with the surrounding environment.
The ice fragments that fell to the ground gave off a feeling that froze Li Yan's soul. Yes, it froze his soul, but it didn't chill his body. This made Li Yan think that this was a place where evil spirits lived. Then, in his perception, when only a thin layer of ice remained in his hand, the spirit of the Snow Spirit actually shrank, as if it was afraid, or as if it was accumulating strength.
At the same time, a small piece of ice in Li Yan's left hand already had a hint of cold and fierce air emanating from it, which made Li Yan's heart shudder. Although this hint of cold and fierce air was roughly the same as the aura emitted by the "melting shoots" recorded in the classics, it lacked the neutralizing air. Li Yan felt that if he absorbed this cold and fierce air into his body, not only would his tendons and veins not become tough, but he would probably be frozen stiff in an instant.
Li Yan decisively stopped the collapse of the outer ice layer of "Melting Bamboo Shoots". At the moment when he stopped the spiritual power, the spirit of the Snow Spirit seemed to be a frightened bird whose secret was discovered. It abandoned the protection of the demon core at all costs and fled directly outside.
Li Yan made a decision in an instant. The "Melting Bamboo Shoot" was definitely fake. The seemingly abnormal cooperation of the Snow Spirit's main spirit just now was actually creating a chance for him to escape. He wanted to use the unknown object in the fake "Melting Bamboo Shoot" to deal him a fatal blow.
Including the opening of the cave formation restriction, the opening of the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation", and the opening of the formation protecting the fake "Rongsun" in order to sacrifice all the formations, in fact, it was to leave a quick escape channel for his spirit. Otherwise, with the power of the Snow Spirit Master's spirit now, after planning to give up the demon core, he would not be able to close the formation restriction in a short time. Instead, he would hit the formation restriction and seek death. Everything was calculated. The Snow Spirit Master's spirit had never thought about cooperating with Li Yan from the beginning, and it was not at all that his life depended on Li Yan's thoughts. Instead, it was very well concealed, just wanting to give Li Yan a desperate counterattack while escaping. However, although he had practiced for a long time and was as smart as a demon, facing Li Yan, who was cautious to the bone, he was a chess move after all, and gave away his life instead.
Li Yan's current plan is to put this fake "melting bamboo shoot" deep underground and bury it deep in the long wall of ice and snow. It's not that Li Yan has any good intentions, but he is afraid that this thing will harm the cultivators who come here in the future. Even if all this happens, it has nothing to do with him. It's just that he is still in the Beiming Demon Suppression Tower. If this thing is thrown here like this, and is accidentally found by later monsters or other snow spirit masters, and they rashly break the ice and release the unknown evil creatures in it, then Li Yan, who is still in the melting cave, may have to "share the joys and sorrows". He can't let this situation happen no matter what.
A quarter of an hour later, a figure suddenly appeared in the empty Snow Spirit's main cave without any warning, as if emerging from the ground. Li Yan first looked around the cave again, and everything was as he thought. Just now, he had dived directly into the ground for a hundred miles, but still could not see other melted caves. This made Li Yan feel mysterious about the melted caves on the ice and snow wall. He had seen some melted caves in the outside world that were only a hundred feet apart, but he had already gone a hundred miles underground and was still in this melted cave world.
Thinking that this was only the first floor of the North Ming Demon Suppression Tower, the powerful cultivator who had refined this treasure in the past could only be described as someone he admired and unfathomable. Shaking his head and letting go of his thoughts, Li Yan once again focused his mind on the cave.
The first thing that came to his attention was the four storage bags in the pit in front of the cave entrance. After collecting the jade slips engraved with the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" and several other formations, the rest of the jade slips were shot back into the original storage bags. Li Yan did this in an attempt to determine some information from the original things in the storage bags. This information might be of no use to him, or it might give him some reminders. Although it seemed a bit redundant, Li Yan still did it.
Li Yan stood in front of the pit, and a storage bag flew into his hand. Next, he slowly checked the items in the bag. In fact, there were no spiritual tools, magic weapons, or elixirs in the bag except for a large number of spiritual stones and some jade slips. After a long time, Li Yan checked them one by one, and then he held his chin with one hand and thought.
"From the jade slips in the four storage bags, we can see that one of them is a master of formations, that is, the one who possesses the 'Big Dragon Elephant Formation'. The other two should be Buddhist monks. Although there are no skills in their jade slips, there are formulas for refining pills. The 'Small Purification Pill' and the 'Luoye Pill' are both second-level pills of the Pure Land Sect. The jade slip in another storage bag only records a higher-level wood-based skill.
From these things, it can be seen that among those who come here to train, apart from the Pure Land Sect monks who have unique conditions and thus have a higher chance of entering, there are also people who possess the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" and practice wood-based exercises, and the strength of their sects should also be that of a sect with a long heritage.
At the same time, there are no elixirs or magic weapons here, not even a spiritual tool. This can only mean that in addition to the ability to devour fire spirit power, the Snow Spirit may also have a certain ability to integrate elixirs and even poison pills. As for magic weapons and spiritual tools, they may also be refined by his blue ghost fire. In this way, it can be explained why Cheng Wenming and the other two spent such a price to obtain the Snow Spirit's main demon core. "
After checking the four storage bags and sorting out his thoughts, Li Yan came to his own conclusion. Before, Cheng Wenming and the other two only said that the Snow Spirit's main demon core was useful to them, but Li Yan did not think that what they said was the whole truth. Now, just by observing the storage bags, Li Yan has obtained a lot of information.
Thinking of this, Li Yan's spiritual sense moved, and the jade box he had just put away appeared in front of him again. Then after the jade box was opened, a ball of blue fire with a red edge appeared in front of him. Li Yan slapped the storage bag on his waist without hesitation, and a emerald green jade pendant appeared in his hand. This jade pendant was just an ordinary treasure of the spiritual weapon level, with a strong protective effect. It was used by Li Yan to hang it around his waist in the early stage in order to pretend to be a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Li Yan bent his finger and flicked it, and the emerald green jade pendant shot into the blue ghost fire. As soon as the two came into contact, a layer of green light burst out from the surface of the jade pendant, as if it was resisting, while the blue ghost fire suddenly swelled up, like a cat that smelled fishy smell, and immediately wrapped the jade pendant in flames. The flame jumped straightly. After watching it for a few breaths, Li Yan stretched out his finger and pointed at the void. The blue ghost fire trembled violently, and a emerald green light shot out from it and fell directly into Li Yan's palm.
After losing the control of the Snow Spirit's main spirit, the blue ghost fire basically lost its active attacking ability. After losing its target, the flames fluttered around like a headless fly for a few times before returning to calm. When Li Yan looked at the green jade pendant in his hand, he saw that a corner of the jade pendant had been lost, and the protective spiritual power on the surface had been lost by 30%. It was only a few breaths, and a spiritual tool became like this.
However, Li Yan saw all this, and his expression remained indifferent, as if he had known it before.
