Chapter 1654: Heavenly Secret Powder
"There were no problems with the first generation that entered the spirit world, but mutations began to occur from the second generation onwards. After much research, we concluded that it was probably caused by the physical problems of our Immortal Descendants."
"Physical problem?" Xiao Lin was slightly stunned.
Huang Cui nodded and said, "The pure spiritual energy in the fairy world is rich, which also causes us, the descendants of the fairy clan, to have fewer impurities in our bodies and to accommodate more fairy spiritual energy. In this spiritual world, the turbid air is too heavy, which will cause the fairy spiritual energy in our bodies to gradually dissipate, and the turbid air from the outside world will corrode our bodies, which leads to the emergence of problems."
After hearing this, Xiao Lin finally understood.
The process of cultivating immortals is actually a process of continuous evolution of life, constantly removing impurities from the body so as to enjoy immortality. However, the situation of the immortal descendants like Huang Cui is just the opposite. Their bodies, which already have few impurities, suddenly come to a turbid place, which will naturally have the opposite effect.
This is like throwing a clean piece of clothing into a muddy ditch; it will naturally become dirty.
"Since you already know the problem and have the elixir Xiyuan Dan that can cure this condition, why don't you cure all the clansmen?" Xiao Lin then asked the question in his mind.
When Huang Cui heard this, a trace of sadness appeared on her pretty face.
“We, the Immortal Legacy Clan, due to our innate constitution, need to take a Xiyuan Pill every hundred years to avoid being corroded by turbid air. We also need to take it until we are three thousand years old, and then we don’t need to take it anymore. Of course, we also need to raise our realm to above the Lianxu stage, otherwise we still have to continue taking Xiyuan Pills. The number of Xiyuan Pills is also very limited, and can only meet the needs of a very small number of Immortal Legacy Clan members. Therefore, except for the core of the Immortal Legacy Clan, no one can get Xiyuan Pills. I was able to get Xiyuan Pills only with the help of my mother.”
Xiao Lin finally understood that the so-called resources are limited and can only satisfy a few people. For the vast majority of people, they will become victims. In fact, this is not only true in this snowy world, but also in the outside world.
Even he himself is the same. The process of cultivating immortals, after all, is a process of competing for resources. The countless bones on the road to immortality are nothing more than sacrifices, just like the many ugly people of the immortal descendants.
"Okay, I have also briefly introduced to you the origins of our Immortal Clan. Elder Huang also said that you can move freely in our Snow World, but there are a few places you cannot go to. Otherwise, you will be regarded as an enemy by our Snow Clan."
"Fellow Daoist Huang, please speak."
"The first is the Snow Altar, which is the holy place for sacrifice in our Snow World. Outsiders are not allowed to approach within a hundred miles. The second is the Snow God Temple, which is the bedroom of the Snow Lord. Except for the second elder Fengyun, no one can summon it or approach it. The third is the Ancestor Valley, which is also a forbidden place in our Snow World. Outsiders are not allowed to enter it. Do you understand, Fellow Daoist Xiao?"
"Xiao knows."
Seeing Huang Cui standing up, Xiao Lin hurriedly said, "Friend Huang, if I want to leave the Snow World, where can I go out?"
Xiao Lin came here through the teleportation array in the belly of the mountain. This teleportation array is random, which means it only sends people in and doesn't tell them how to leave. Xiao Lin doesn't want to stay in this snowy world for his whole life. Moreover, after a long time, who knows whether the other party will continue to treat him as a guest, so it is better to ask first.
"If Fellow Daoist Xiao wants to leave, there is only one way. However, it is better for Fellow Daoist Xiao not to know this method."
When Xiao Lin heard this, he was startled and had a bad feeling.
"Could it be that Brother Huang wants to keep me in this snowy world?" Xiao Lin's face darkened. If that was really the case, he wouldn't mind turning this snowy world upside down. Even if the Snow Lord was extremely arrogant, he would still learn a lesson from him.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please don't misunderstand me. If you want to leave this place, you need to go through many dangers. Even for cultivators like us who are in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, it is a life-and-death struggle. So what I mean is that you can practice in seclusion here. If you can break through to the Mahayana stage one day, you will have hope of leaving. The snow world is full of fairy spirits. One day of practice here is enough to equal three days outside. Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is a rare opportunity. Why don't you practice hard here?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin's expression eased a little. As long as the other party was not deliberately making things difficult for him, it would be fine. As for how to get out, since Fairy Tianci, the founder of the Beihan Divine Sect, was able to get out, he should be able to do it too.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being rude. I just entered the snow world by accident. There are many of my relatives and descendants outside. It's impossible for me to stay here all the time. I hope that Brother Huang can put aside the past grudges and tell me how to get out." Xiao Lin stood up, bowed to Huang Cui, and then spoke.
Huang Cui was embarrassed when she heard this. After a moment, she secretly looked around and said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, it's not that Huang Cui doesn't want to tell you, but with your current state, it's almost impossible for you to get out. How about this, you agree to one condition from Huang Cui. As long as you fulfill this condition, Huang Cui will definitely tell you how to get out."
"Okay, Xiao agrees." Xiao Lin agreed without hesitation. This snowy world was just his first stop in his search for a cure for Phantom Spirit Lord. If he couldn't find the treasure that could cure Phantom Spirit Lord here, he would have to leave this place and look for it somewhere else.
Therefore, no matter what conditions Huang Cui put forward, he would agree to them.
Huang Cui was a little surprised, as she didn't expect Xiao Lin to agree so readily.
"Okay, since Fellow Daoist Xiao has agreed, then please follow me." Huang Cui stood up, waved to Xiao Lin, then left the teahouse and walked straight out of the city.
After the two men left the city, they immediately turned into two beams of light and disappeared among the clouds in the northern sky.
Inside the mansion, Huang Feng sat upright with a gloomy face. In front of him stood a man, who was none other than Huang Jing who had been with Huang Cui before.
"My dear nephew, since Xiao Lin was able to defeat the Snow Mane Cold Light Beast, his magical powers are truly extraordinary. You should know that even an ordinary Mahayana cultivator may not be his opponent. In addition, in the opinion of this elder, this person seems to be hiding many secrets."
"Elder, do you mean to kill this man and take the things from him?"
Huang Feng waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "My dear nephew, you are still impulsive. Since this person was able to defeat the Snow Mane Cold Light Beast, he must be someone that can be easily defeated. Not to mention you, even if this elder takes action personally, I am not sure."
Huang Jing said in disbelief: "Although he has unfathomable magical powers, he is only at the late stage of the Tribulation Realm after all. Elder, you are a Mahayana cultivator. Isn't it easy to kill him?"
"Don't underestimate the enemy. The reason why Gu Tianci was able to escape from the Snow World was because of our carelessness. Of course, he was also a bit lucky, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to escape. Fortunately, he didn't reveal what happened here, but only drew a map to enter the Snow World. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would have to take action immediately."
"Hehe, our Snow World has always been a place where people are allowed to enter but not leave. Any spiritual cultivator who enters this place will be imprisoned and their souls will be searched by us. We will obtain all their magical powers and use them as medicine to refine the Origin Cleansing Pill. If this person doesn't fall into our trap, we might have to go out and search for spiritual cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage to capture the Snow World. This will save us a lot of trouble."
"Well, Huang Cui is relatively simple and doesn't know about these situations. This is also what her mother specifically told her. She doesn't want her pure heart to be affected by the haze, which would be detrimental to her future cultivation. Humph, if the Snow Lord didn't love her very much and intended to pass the position of the next Snow Lord to her, how could this elder be so polite to her."
"Elder, do you really want Huang Cui to succeed the next Snow Lord? The current Snow Lord is almost dead. If we, the Immortal Descendants, want to ascend to the Immortal Realm again, we have to endure several times the force of space, which makes it almost impossible for us to ascend. Even if we cultivate to the highest realm, we can only enjoy a lifespan of a million years, and in the end we still cannot escape the fate of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. You once said that if you become the master of the Snow World, you can find a way to break this fate. Is that true or false?"
Huang Feng's eyes suddenly became fierce when he heard this, and he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you be so arrogant? Do you still want to rebel?"
"Hey, Uncle, we are one family and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs. There is no one else here, but I, your nephew, have a way to deal with the Snow Lord."
"What method?" Huang Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked in contrast to his previous fierce look.
"Uncle, have you ever heard of Tianji Powder?" Huang Jing replied with a mysterious smile.
"Tianji Powder? Tianji Powder, one of the Ten Deadly Poisons? Even a True Immortal would lose all his magic power if he took it. It is almost incurable?" Huang Feng showed an excited expression on his face. He took a step forward, came in front of Huang Jing, grabbed his shoulder and asked.
Huang Jing was shocked by this action and thought that his second uncle wanted to harm him.
Seeing that he was just too excited, he smiled and said, "Second Uncle, do you still remember Wannian, the demon cultivator who accidentally broke into this place?"
"Did you get the Tianji Powder from him?" Huang Feng showed a surprised expression.
"Yes, and I have bribed Xiao Huan, one of the 72 guards beside the Snow Lord. She has put Tianji Powder in the Snow Lord's tea, but I controlled the dosage so that the Snow Lord did not find out."
"No wonder the Snow Lord feels that his time is up. I'm afraid that on the one hand, his life span is coming to an end and he is facing the five signs of decline. The most important thing is the Tianji Powder you put into his tea."
"That's right. As long as the Snow Lord dies, who in this snow world can be a match for you, Second Uncle? Just say the word, and the position of Snow Lord will naturally be yours." Huang Jing said with a gloomy smile on his face.
Looking at his nephew's smile, Huang Feng felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that his nephew was so scheming. Even his uncle was kept in the dark about the Tianji Powder he obtained ten thousand years ago. What if he wanted to do something bad to him?
As if seeing the worry in Huang Feng's heart, Huang Jing hurriedly said: "Second Uncle, it's not that I'm hiding it on purpose, but I've been waiting for the right opportunity. If it were normal times, even if the Snow Lord swallowed the Heavenly Secret Powder, he would have enough energy to kill the two of us before his magic power dissipated. But now it's different. His life span is almost over. He was originally going to die in a thousand years at most. I, your nephew, have shortened this time to ten years through the Heavenly Secret Powder. Now, even if the Snow Lord finds something wrong, he won't have the energy to deal with us. After all, if things don't work out, at most I, your nephew, can take on everything by myself, so as not to drag down Second Uncle."
Seeing Huang Jing's sincere expression, Huang Feng put aside his suspicion.
"That old fellow Huang Yun is a stickler for change. Even if we follow your plan, we still have to get through him in the end. His cultivation and magical powers are on par with my uncle and me. If he raises his arms for a moment, I'm afraid we will be making things easier for others."
"Hehe, what Second Uncle is worried about, I, my dear nephew, have already thought about it. Xiao Lin, who accidentally broke in, is the perfect choice."
“Oh? You mean?”
"Yes, Xiao Lin must have some plans when he entered this place. But no matter what his plans are, they cannot be defeated by my calculations. Since he was able to defeat the Snow Mane Cold Light Beast, I think he must have some extraordinary qualities. Why not let him..."
"If we let them enter Yunwu Spiritual Garden and offend Huang Yun, we'll probably have to have a big fight. No matter who wins or loses, we'll all reap the benefits." Huang Feng showed an expression of realization and continued with a smile.
"That's right. Half a month ago, I also secretly mixed a small amount of Tianji Powder into the Snow Spirit Tea and let Elder Huang Yun drink it. Because the dosage was too small, although Elder Huang Yun could slightly detect it, he would never suspect that it was the Ten Death Poison. Once the two of them fight, it will also speed up the loss of Elder Huang Yun's magic power. In this way, the position of Snow Lord will not be taken by anyone except you, Second Uncle."
Elder Huang Feng felt a chill down his spine when he heard this. Looking at Huang Cui's sincere face, he felt more and more that he could not see through this nephew.
"My dear nephew, why don't you take care of my second uncle as well, so that you can become the Snow Lord yourself?" Huang Feng said lightly.
Huang Jing did not show any panic when he heard this. Instead, he seemed to have expected this and smiled, "My dear nephew, I have no interest in the position of Snow Lord. I promise to help my second uncle take the Snow Lord throne with all my heart. My dear nephew has only one request."
"My dear nephew, please feel free to speak."
"That is, after Second Uncle takes the position of Snow Lord, he will tell you how to ascend to the upper realm. In this spiritual world, even if you have great power, the final result is still a pile of bones. I, my dear nephew, don't want to have this ending."
"So that's how it is. Now that my dear nephew has said so, I am relieved. Don't worry, as long as I take the position of Snow Lord, I will definitely tell you the method of ascension, and I will do my best to assist you in ascending to the fairyland." Huang Feng said with a smile, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you, second uncle." Huang Jing was overjoyed and bowed quickly.
