But he saw the man chuckle. "Junior Sister, what are you saying? Isn't our Changyue Sect primarily focused on the dual cultivation path? You were able to break through to the Golden Core stage so quickly because of dual cultivation. Senior Brother also contributed a lot, didn't I?" As he spoke, the man couldn't help but glance at the woman in green beside him who hadn't said a word. "Senior Sister Zhao, wouldn't you agree?"
"Humph."
The woman in green snorted coldly and didn't say anything, her face somewhat cold, seemingly unwilling to pay attention to the male cultivator. Seeing the woman in green's expression, a cold glint flashed in Wang Yan's eyes, and his face also became somewhat unsightly.
"I say, Senior Sister, you still can't stand Senior Brother Wang after all this time. Senior Sister was seriously injured before, and her Dao companion also died. If Senior Brother Wang hadn't risked his life to save you, you would have already perished. What are you putting on airs for?" Junior Sister Chen seemed to have noticed Wang Yan's expression and glanced at the woman in green with displeasure, saying sarcastically.
The woman in green's face turned pale upon hearing these words, and her eyes couldn't help but glare at Junior Sister Chen.
"Senior Brother, look, Senior Sister looks like she wants to eat someone. She won't remember your kindness."
"Alright, Junior Sister Chen, say a few words less. Don't mention these old things anymore. Since Senior Sister Zhao is willing to come with us, she also approves of Senior Brother. You must get along well in the future and don't hurt your harmony because of these trivial matters."
"Hmph, you're biased towards her again." Junior Sister Chen muttered, feeling somewhat indignant.
The three of them came from the same sect, and Wang Yan had a family backing him. She also got on Wang Yan's line and just broke through to the Golden Core cultivation.
However, Wang Yan was always hot and cold towards her, and he was always very gentle to this Senior Sister Zhao Lian, which made her feel a little jealous.
The three of them were silent for a moment. Wang Yan patted a leather pouch on his waist, and a snow-white ferret appeared at his feet. He instructed the ferret a few words.
The ferret raised its body and sniffed hard in the air, then squeaked a few times. It turned into a white light and ran forward.
Wang Yan and the other two followed closely behind and soon disappeared into the snow mountain.
On the other hand, Zhang Ling had already arrived at the top of the snow mountain, stopped on a snowy area, and grabbed a few strands of pale white silk from the snow pile with a single hand in the void.
These white silk threads felt very soft, finer than hair. Zhang Ling took them in his hand and rubbed them. "It seems I'm right. This is the silk spun by the Ice Spirit Silkworm. There is still a faint spiritual power remaining on it. It seems that the Ice Silkworm hasn't left this place for long."
While Zhang Ling was thinking, the spiritual light in his hand flashed, and a ball of yellow spiritual light wrapped the silk threads, floating in front of him.
His hands quickly formed a few hand seals and struck the silk threads. Immediately, these silk threads coiled and curled together, turning into a white ball the size of a soybean, emitting a layer of light blue spiritual light.
As the magic incantation was activated, the silk thread ball flew around a few times in the air, confirming a direction. It flashed and flew away quickly. Zhang Ling quickly followed with the Corpse Bear.
This was using a kind of spirit-seeking magic, which could track prey through residual aura. Following the glowing ball, they soon arrived in front of an ice wall.
The ice wall was below a cliff. Zhang Ling released his divine sense to explore the surroundings. A large area nearby was the same scene, and there were gusts of whistling cold wind.
At this moment, the white silk ball stopped in front of an ice wall crack about ten feet wide.
Zhang Ling released a wisp of divine sense to sense inside. The passage inside was winding and winding, and I don't know where it leads, but the direction seemed to be downward, obviously leading to the inside of the mountain.
Suddenly, his divine sense moved, and then he raised his finger, and a yellow aura submerged into the ice crevice.
After a while, the aura wrapped a palm-sized snow lotus and appeared in front of him. The snow lotus exuded a white icy aura and looked like a jade sculpture.
It turned out to be a second-grade Frost Ice Lotus.
Zhang Ling instantly recognized that this was a spiritual herb, and finally took out a white jade box and put the ice lotus away.
In places like this that are covered by ice and snow all year round, although there are not many spiritual objects and monsters.
But it will also breed some ice-attribute spiritual herbs, and a small number of ice-attribute monsters.
Through divine sense exploration of the ice wall inside, I am afraid that there are still certain dangers inside.
But at the same time, he also sensed the unique icy aura emitted by the Ice Spirit Silkworm inside, and it is very likely that the Ice Spirit Silkworm is inside.
Zhang Ling thought for a while and decided to continue exploring inside.
He had been in this snow mountain for a few days and had not found any traces of high-level monsters. Although he couldn't be completely sure, this risk was still worth taking.
Zhang Ling then took out two spirit talismans from the storage bag and held them in his palm, then entered the crack.
Soon after, he went deep into the ice crevice, and at the same time found a low-level wild beast living inside.
This is a kind of spiritual insect that looks like a dragonfly, twice the size of an ordinary dragonfly, with ice-blue wings growing on its back, turning into streams of light with amazing speed.
This is a spiritual insect called the Ice Wing Insect, which belongs to a gregarious type of demon insect.
It was originally a relatively gentle spiritual insect with very low strength. But after being eroded by turbid air, it became irritable and its strength also increased a lot, but in general, most of them are still at the first-order monster level, and pose no threat to Zhang Ling.
As soon as he encountered these spiritual insects, they flapped their wings and attacked him. For a time, countless blue auras flashed before his eyes.
Zhang Ling flicked his fingers expressionlessly and set up sword lights in front of him. As soon as the ice wing insects came over, they were all chopped into pieces.
But as more and more ice wing insects appeared, he didn't want to get entangled with these low-level spiritual insects. With a flash of spiritual light, he took the Corpse Bear directly through the frozen soil next to him and went to another ice crevice.
Zhang Ling and the Corpse Bear each cast spells to conceal their figures. This kind of invisibility technique is not very clever. Monks of the same level can see through it with a careful look.
But it is enough to confuse these ice wing insects. In the next period of time, Zhang Ling passed through piles and piles of ice wing insects, and no one attacked them anymore.
At the same time, he always dragged the white ball made of silk in his hand to sense the trace of the Ice Spirit Insect.
After half an hour passed, the deeper he went into the ice crevice, the colder it became, but it did not affect Zhang Ling's actions. At the same time, he also picked more than twenty frost ice lotuses, which can be regarded as a little gain.
Suddenly, the passage in front of him became wider and wider, and soon a large ice cave appeared in front of him.
The white ball in Zhang Ling's hand also suddenly emitted a deep blue light, which indicated that he was very close to the Ice Spirit Silkworm. He quickly carefully released a wisp of divine sense to explore the ice cave.
