Li Yan stood motionless in the cave until five breaths passed, when his aura finally stayed at the great perfection of foundation building. Then after another three breaths, it dropped back to the middle stage of foundation building at the fastest speed.
"Is this the function of Rongsun? Just a thin strand can allow me to reach the great perfection of foundation building in five breaths, and then maintain it for three breaths. This is equivalent to using self-mutilation to squeeze out potential, which can achieve a short-term improvement effect. Within eight breaths, the speed of my spiritual power operation has increased by at least 20% to 40%, and after eight breaths, there is no damage to my tendons and veins." Li Yan recalled the instantaneous increase in strength just now. After carefully feeling his tendons and veins, he found that there was no soreness or bursting at all. This made Li Yan, who had been calm all the time, overjoyed.
If he used Rongsun to perform the Five Elements Return to Primordial Meng, he only needed a little bit to temporarily achieve the state of Fake Dan. He believed that as long as he had the support of Rongsun, he could always maintain the state. However, no one would use this kind of natural treasure in this way, and Li Yan certainly would not. This was equivalent to giving Li Yan many chances to save his life. It was a luxury to get this opportunity once, but Li Yan really had it.
Li Yan was in a state of confusion for a while, and just stood there in a daze on the ice seat. It was not until a long time later that he slowly regained his composure. Looking at the two-inch-long milky white object in his hand, he now had some guesses about some of the questions that he had no clue about before. This might be the answer, but it might just be an approximate guess.
"I really don't know where the fake 'Rongsun' came from, but judging from the similarity in length and size with the real 'Rongsun', it must have been obtained by the same person, but it was definitely not this Snow Spirit Lord. The person who obtained this item must have extraordinary magical powers, and this ice seat must have been left behind by him.
But if the person who possesses this magical power is a cultivator, the probability is very small. No cultivator would be willing to leave the real or fake 'Rongsun' in the melting cave. Even the fake 'Rongsun' is also a great killing weapon. Since it can be sealed by him, it means that he can subdue the mysterious thing in the ice. And the aura of the ice seat itself belongs to this world, not an external thing. There should be no cultivator who has obtained the real or fake 'Rongsun' and has the leisure to carve an ice seat here, hide the real 'Rongsun' in it, and then leave it here. This is simply a big joke."
Li Yan first ruled out the possibility that the ice seat was left behind by the monks who had entered the Rong Cave before.
Since the ice seat was not left by the former monks, Li Yan thought of another possibility.
"Perhaps the one who got the real or fake 'Rongsun' was the monster in the Rongdong. However, there shouldn't be such a powerful monster in a Rongdong. This place has been explored by countless cultivators, and the highest level is only the peak of the second level, which is only equivalent to the fake Dan realm among cultivators. It can't even be considered a mid-level cultivator. He couldn't seal or subdue the fake 'Rongsun' at all.
Then, there are only two situations:
One is that the real and fake 'Rongsun' were deliberately left behind by the person who refined the North Ming Demon Suppression Tower. Then he hid the real 'Rongsun' in an ice seat with a carved ice phoenix. These things are simply useless to a cultivator who can change the world with a wave of his hand. He may have done it on a whim at the time and just put it in the North Ming Demon Suppression Tower and forgot about it afterwards. In this way, it makes sense that the appearance of an ice phoenix appeared in the Rong Cave.
There is another possibility, that is, this Beiming Demon-Suppressing Tower is the place where evil spirits grow. In the distant past, there may be many evil spirits on one floor of the tower. They have previous memories, so they can know the appearance of phoenixes and dragons. This is also normal. Maybe there was such a powerful evil spirit here. After obtaining the real 'Rongsun', he could not use it because he was a soul body, but he also knew how rare this thing was. At the same time, he subdued another powerful evil spirit, transformed it into the appearance of 'Rongsun', and then sealed it up and placed it in the open. As for why he did this, maybe he was a resentful evil spirit who wanted to leave this thing to claim the life of the cultivator who could enter the Beiming Demon-Suppressing Tower in order to satisfy his revenge psychology.
Then, he fantasized that one day he could go out and take over the body, so he could use the real "Melting Bamboo Shoots", so he hid it in the ice seat with the ice phoenix carved on it based on his memory. "Li Yan thought so.
Li Yan quickly thought of two possibilities: "Whichever of the above two situations is likely to lead to today's result.
Perhaps the master who created the Beiming Demon Suppression Tower really forgot about it and left this thing behind. Perhaps the powerful evil spirit was ultimately unable to escape from the Beiming Demon Suppression Tower and was refined here, leaving behind two types of 'Rongsun', the real and the fake.
After many years, the two items were obtained by the Snow Spirit Lord, but he probably only knew the existence of the fake 'Rongsun', so even though the Snow Spirit had developed tendons, he never used the real 'Rongsun'. At the same time, he also felt the horror of the thing hidden in the fake 'Rongsun', and finally wanted to turn it into his own killing weapon and keep it, but the real 'Rongsun' had been under his nose and he could not know about it.
The ice seat is not transparent, and the light is reflected in the crystal ice. It is difficult to notice the small branch under the feet of the ice phoenix, but why can the snow mosquito behave like that? "
Li Yan thought for a long time and could only guess that the snow mosquito's perception was somewhat different from that of other monsters. Therefore, on such a huge ice seat, it could sense that the icy aura emitted in different areas was different. The monsters themselves had a strict level division. The powerful monsters occupied places with rich spiritual energy, and the weaker monsters occupied the secondary positions. As a result, the snow mosquitoes were scattered and distributed on the ice seat, giving it the appearance of melting bamboo shoots.
This world is so vast that nothing is impossible to explain. Some things are simply inexplicable, just like a kind of spiritual bird monster. It has just begun to develop intelligence and behaves like a four or five-year-old child. It can only be a first-level monster for life, but it has a talent, which is to be extremely sensitive to places with spiritual energy. Even the foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators may not be as sensitive to spiritual energy as it is. Therefore, it is often released by the cultivators to find treasures or to find places with rich spiritual energy to open caves. Apart from this, this monster is useless. Li Yan lamented that he had unintentionally collected the Snow Mosquito into the Earth Spot, and in the end, before he took it out of the North Sea Demon Suppression Tower, it had already brought him this great benefit.
Although he guessed some results, these were still Li Yan's guesses. Then Li Yan set his sights on the huge ice seat again. At this time, the ice seat was still cold, but it seemed like something was missing. Li Yan thought about it.
"It's less agile, yes, agile!" Since Li Yan took out the "Melting Bamboo Shoots" from the ice seat, the entire ice seat seemed to have lost its soul, cold and dull, unlike before, when the ice phoenix on the backrest was full of vitality and agility, as if it could break through the air at any time. Now the ice phoenix on the backrest looks like a relief painting at first glance. Maybe it's because of this that the ice seat has lost some vitality. Maybe this is why the Snow Spirit Lord was able to keep this ice seat. Although the Snow Spirit Lord didn't know what the ice seat was, the agility made him know that this thing was extraordinary.
Li Yan pinched the magic formula again, and a dark cloud appeared above the ice seat again. Suddenly, raindrops fell like threads. However, this time, when the raindrops fell on the ice seat, due to the extreme coldness of the ice seat, many raindrops quickly condensed into ice beads on it. The raindrops that did not have time to condense flowed along the ice seat to the ground of the cave.
Li Yan retracted his spell and thought, "As expected!" It turned out that the strange swallowing of the ice seat came from the "Melting Bamboo Shoots". But then Li Yan's face changed and he felt sick. If the "Melting Bamboo Shoots" had the ability to swallow, he had seen Cheng Wenming's blood and brain matter disappear into the ice seat in the painful struggle. Then...
Thinking of this, Li Yan looked at the "Melting Bamboo Shoot" in his hand, which was emitting a faint milky white light. It seemed that it was filled with juices from various monsters and human bodies. He suddenly felt like throwing it away immediately.
The next moment, he placed the "Rongsun" that he regarded as a treasure on the ice seat. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his finger and a stream of blood shot out and hit another part of the ice seat. As soon as the blood arrow fell, it seemed to have eyes and quickly moved towards the direction of "Rongsun". The next moment after moving, it disappeared into the ice seat.
Li Yan watched without blinking, and his spiritual sense split into two strands, one to track the blood arrow, and the other to lock onto the "Rongsun". But when the blood arrow disappeared into the ice seat, Li Yan's spiritual sense was empty just like before.
The spiritual sense locked on the "Rong Bamboo" also found nothing. Just as Li Yan was puzzled, suddenly a faint white mist seeped into the "Rong Bamboo" from the ice seat. If Li Yan's spiritual sense had not been powerful and he had not been paying attention to this thing all the time, the almost non-existent white mist would have been ignored in the freezing cold cave. This process only took a moment, but Li Yan, who had been paying attention to the "Rong Bamboo", still caught the white mist.
"So that's how it is. Even after the 'Rongsun' was taken from where it originally grew, it still has the potential to absorb and grow. This ice seat is like the land, and the 'Rongsun' can be seen as the 'crops' on it. The person who took the 'Rongsun' knew it very well. Although its roots were cut off when it was taken, it can still be allowed to grow slowly through other means. There are all kinds of things in the world of immortal cultivation. What I know from the classics can only be said to be the furthest thing from the surface."
When Li Yan thought of this, he no longer felt disgusted when he looked at the "Melting Bamboo Shoots". Just imagine that the crops grown after applying manure in the fields are the same, just like saying that food covered with manure cannot be eaten. In this case, Li Yan thought about it, raised his hand and pushed the "Melting Bamboo Shoots" back to its original position on the backrest of the ice seat, then stretched out his hand and wiped the air, and the sycamore branches returned to their original state.
With a movement of his spiritual consciousness, Bingzuo and the two snow mosquitoes disappeared from the cave again, and were released into the soil spot again by him.
In the earth-spotted space, the snow mosquitoes in a cave on the top of the mountain had just calmed down, when suddenly something appeared in the cave, and a large number of snow mosquitoes surged wildly again.
Since the ice seat can be used as the land for the "melting shoots", just keep it in its original position. When needed, Li Yan will take it out and use it. Putting it in the ice seat can also stimulate the growth of snow mosquitoes. Li Yan is not worried that the snow mosquitoes will suck away the "melting shoots". The ice seat has a protective effect just like the ice block outside the fake "melting shoots". Otherwise, the essence of the "melting shoots" would have been absorbed by the snow spirit master who sits on it all day to practice.
After doing all this, Li Yan returned to the cave again. He was not in a hurry to leave. This time he sat cross-legged on the ground, then stretched out his left wrist, and a small purple flag floated in front of him. A jade slip was also taken in Li Yan's hand.
