Chapter 84

After Mr. Chongxu Tongmiao took the Old Man of the Netherworld away, his gaze fell on Zhu Ganglie once again: "The position of Yin差 (Yin Messenger) has tremendous benefits, and you must treat it with great caution, not taking it lightly. As long as you work hard, I will certainly provide you with the corresponding benefits, but you will need to strive for them yourself. Since you can transform into an ancient fierce beast, you naturally have some confidence in going to the Great Snow Mountain, which is also a test for you. This is a teleportation talisman. If you are in danger, you can activate this talisman to leave the Great Snow Mountain. However, at that time, the White Jade Divine Ice Iron will be out of your reach."

As he spoke, a black talisman appeared in Zhu Ganglie's hand, with countless runes flickering and changing unpredictably.

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhu Ganglie was not overly worried. Without the assistance of the Ice Venerable, he now had this talisman, but he also knew that this was a test. If he used this talisman, he might fail, and the subsequent benefits might be lost.

"First, go and find the White Jade Divine Ice Iron. The Linglong Blessed Land involves too many causes and effects, so you should not touch it for now."

After receiving the talisman, Mr. Chongxu Tongmiao came forward to remind Zhu Ganglie. The furrowed brows made Zhu Ganglie realize the seriousness of the matter, adding a heavy weight to his heart.

"Go!"

Mr. Chongxu Tongmiao waved his hand, dismissing Zhu Ganglie.

After leaving the Divine Dawn Peak, Zhu Ganglie returned directly to the Ice Soul Peak to prepare to restore his magical power and refine a few more techniques. Only then would he have some confidence in going to the Great Snow Mountain.

Upon returning to the Ice Soul Peak, Zhu Ganglie went back to his Plum Cliff, took out a Pure Yang Pill, swallowed it, and refined the immense medicinal power into magical power. This refinement took three months, during which Zhu Ganglie refined five out of ten Pure Yang Pills, fully restoring his magical power.

However, Zhu Ganglie did not set out immediately. Instead, he had the Nine Ghost Kings focus on refining four bone rings to enhance the power of the Spirit Sealing Tower, which, in its form as a bone demon, could already rival a Third Rank Golden Core expert. If he could further increase his strength, his chances of obtaining the White Jade Divine Ice Iron in the Great Snow Mountain would be greater.

While the Nine Ghost Kings were fully refining the Spirit Sealing Tower, Zhu Ganglie gifted the Seven Killing Sutra to the sect in exchange for some merit points. He then used these merit points to obtain a drop of Pure Yang Thunder Water. This drop of Pure Yang Thunder Water, being the most yang and righteous substance in the world, was perfect for refining the strength of the Nine Ghost Kings, gradually increasing their power.

Thunder is the most yang and righteous substance in the world. When transformed into water, the violent nature of the thunder is eliminated, leaving only pure yang energy and immense life force. This would allow the Nine Ghost Kings to slowly absorb the yang energy, refine their ghost cores, and enhance their strength. However, too much Pure Yang Thunder Water could kill the Nine Ghost Kings.

The Nine Ghost Kings absorbed the power of the Pure Yang Thunder Water while refining the four bone rings.

After the Nine Ghost Kings were content with refining the Spirit Sealing Tower, Zhu Ganglie prepared to refine an escape magical tool. The last escape had made him realize the importance of an escape magical tool. If he had one, he could save a lot of magical power and avoid being so狼狈 (embarrassed).

Among the escape magical tools recorded in the Divine Dawn Sect, two were the most powerful: the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Exorcising Divine Dart and the Taiyi Golden麟 (Ling) Boat. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Exorcising Divine Dart resembles a weaving shuttle. When not in use, it is just ninety-eight five-colored steel plates, each a few inches long and as thin as paper. Once activated, these plates grow to three zhang in length, close together to form a seamless enclosure, and can be driven to travel through the heavens and the earth at will. The other is the Taiyi Golden Ling Boat, which is golden yellow and composed of one hundred and eight golden scales. Each scale, once refined with a layer of restriction, gives the Taiyi Golden Ling Boat three layers of restriction. When used, the golden boat can change size at will, can travel through earth and water, and has immense power, as well as the ability to protect and conceal.

Although these two magical tools are unique, they take a great deal of time to refine, and it would be impossible to see results without several decades of effort. However, Zhu Ganglie learned that his fellow disciple from the Ascension Peak, Exorcising Demon, had the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Exorcising Divine Dart. Zhu Ganglie decided to borrow it.

So, Zhu Ganglie went to the Ascension Peak to pay respects to Exorcising Demon.

Exorcising Demon is a First Rank Golden Core expert who is currently in seclusion, cultivating to reach the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image realm. However, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Exorcising Divine Dart is one of Exorcising Demon's magical tools, and Zhu Ganglie was not very confident about borrowing it.

After arriving at the Ascension Peak, Zhu Ganglie paid respects to his fellow disciple and went to the All-Heaven Valley where Exorcising Demon was in seclusion.

"I, Zhu Ganglie of the Ice Soul Peak, pay respects to Exorcising Demon!"

Upon arriving at the All-Heaven Valley, Zhu Ganglie softly called out, and a talisman formed by his magical power entered the valley, passing through the restrictions.

A moment later, a white crane flew out of the valley and transformed into a fair-skinned child in front of Zhu Ganglie.

"The white crane greets the immortal. My master is currently in seclusion, cultivating to reach the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image realm, and cannot spare the time. He has specially sent me to greet you!"

Zhu Ganglie, seeing the white crane child, was not overly angry. He reached out and touched the white crane, infusing a drop of pure magical power into it to help it form a spiritual core.

He then smiled and said, "I am going out to search for heavenly materials and treasures to refine my life-bound magical tool. Because the journey is long, I have come to pay respects to Exorcising Demon and request the use of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Exorcising Divine Dart. This is a Dry Yuan Bone-Replacing Pill, which I specially bring to offer to my fellow disciple."

Upon hearing Zhu Ganglie's request, the white crane child respectfully said, "Please wait a moment, immortal. I will go and report to my master!"

With that, the white crane child disappeared back into the valley.

After a while, the white crane child flew out of the valley and bowed respectfully to Zhu Ganglie again: "Please forgive me, immortal. My master is at the final stage of his cultivation, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Exorcising Divine Dart is his life-bound magical tool. He cannot lend it out during his cultivation. The Dry Yuan Bone-Replacing Pill you offered is of great help to my master. My master is willing to exchange a Taiyi Golden Ling Boat for the Dry Yuan Bone-Replacing Pill. The Taiyi Golden Ling Boat was refined by my master as his life-bound magical tool at the beginning of his cultivation, using the essence of Western Metal and blending it with Kui Water. Although it only has one layer of restriction, it is very powerful and can be used for flying and evading. The light it emits can also repel enemies."

As the white crane child spoke, Zhu Ganglie felt a slight joy. He particularly liked the material of the Taiyi Golden Ling Boat, which had the potential to become a powerful magical tool. If he obtained the Taiyi Golden Ling Boat, he could also fly and evade, and with a bit more refinement, its power would increase even further. Especially the Kui Water essence, which harmonizes well with his Ice Soul magical power, making it easy to control.
