Gurgle, gurgle.
Two Ice Spirit Silkworms crawled onto his arm, chirping a few times, seemingly quite excited.
Zhang Ling stroked the heads of the intelligent Ice Spirit Silkworms, and something came to his mind. These two little fellows seemed to have discovered something, and he immediately communicated with them using his divine sense.
Spirit beast pouches can hold spirit beasts because the refining technique is special. Unlike the complete enclosure of storage pouches, spirit beast pouches have an opening, like a window in a house, for the spirit beasts to breathe.
Therefore, if spirit beasts sense spiritual objects that are helpful to them, they will react without the master's summoning.
At this moment, the excited appearance of the two Ice Spirit Silkworms seemed to indicate some discovery.
After laboriously communicating with the Ice Spirit Silkworms for a while, Zhang Ling roughly understood their situation.
With a wave of his hand, the two silkworms scurried out, rushed into the spirit field, and burrowed into the ground in no time.
According to the communication just now, the two silkworms discovered something beneath the ground that would help them. As for what it was, Zhang Ling didn't know.
The intelligence of these spiritual insects is generally very low, making it difficult to form complete consciousness. Communicating with beast-type spirit beasts like the Brave Double-Tailed Cat is much simpler.
Zhang Ling stood in place, constantly sensing the condition of the two Ice Spirit Silkworms, hoping they would make other discoveries.
After a moment, Zhang Ling's expression changed. He pinched his fingers to form a magic seal, and a layer of yellow spiritual light appeared on his body. He stepped on the ground with one foot, and his body sank into the ground.
This was the Earth Tunneling Technique.
At this moment, he received a distress signal from the two Ice Spirit Silkworms in his divine sense, indicating that the two spiritual insects were in danger.
After traveling a dozen feet underground, his vision suddenly opened up, and he arrived at another space. There was actually a hidden cave dwelling below.
Ahead was a square doorway with a layer of white mist floating inside. The Ice Spirit Silkworms were trapped inside. At the same time, he sensed that the mist was a layer of ice mist, and he felt a chill even standing outside.
Zhang Ling did not enter rashly. He first used his divine sense to explore the ice mist and found that the ice mist only flowed slowly in the space behind the doorway and did not spread outward.
This was very unusual, possibly due to powerful formations and restrictions inside. After careful observation with his divine sense, he gained some understanding of the situation inside.
Zhang Ling lightly patted his storage pouch and took out a black gem.
He cast a few spells on it, and the gem transformed into a black light, flying into the ice mist and spinning rapidly.
Immediately, centered on the gem, the white ice mist quickly swirled and rushed towards the gem.
In an instant, the gem swallowed a large amount of ice mist, and the space behind the doorway became bright, without a trace of mist.
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Ling retrieved the black gem.
This gem was an ice-attribute magic weapon, capable of absorbing cold air, and it was one of the many treasures obtained from the Icefire Jade Mine. Now it came in handy.
Zhang Ling didn't delay any longer and flashed into the space.
The internal space was neither too big nor too small, about thirty to forty feet in size. At each of the four corners stood a huge ice-blue stone, engraved with dense spiritual patterns. The floor was also engraved with spiritual patterns, flickering with faint spiritual light, seemingly a set of formations.
However, he did not sense anything unusual around him. This space was also a cultivator's cave dwelling, with some tables, chairs, benches, and other objects. Several murals were also carved on the walls on both sides.
Zhang Ling glanced at these things, and his gaze turned to a spring about three to four feet in size on the ground, which was emitting wisps of cold air.
This spring was like a well, emitting strands of cold air. Several ice crystal chains extended from it and hung on the walls above. These chains were also engraved with some black and red runes, which looked very unusual.
The two Ice Spirit Silkworms were currently under this spring, seemingly trapped by something.
Zhang Ling's figure flickered, and he arrived next to the spring, looking down. A layer of heavy ice mist floated below, and he could sense an even stronger extreme cold. At the same time, he could hear the sound of rushing water.
The extreme cold emanating from inside was no less than the spiritual energy intensity of a medium-grade spiritual vein, indicating that there was likely a yin-cold spiritual vein below.
Zhang Ling flipped his hand, first offering the Yellow Luo Umbrella to protect his whole body, and then entered it.
Below was about a hundred feet in size, flowing with icy water. After descending a dozen feet, he saw a dark object.
It seemed to be a huge black stone, with chains hanging down from above, wrapping around it and suspending the stone in the water.
The two Ice Spirit Silkworms were趴 on it, suppressed by a layer of black-blue spiritual light, unable to move for a while.
Their arrival was sensed by the two Ice Spirit Silkworms, who twisted their chubby bodies and chirped at him, looking somewhat comical.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but smile and carefully examined the black stone. When his divine sense swept over it, he sensed a bone-chilling cold, which was obviously unusual, containing a powerful ice-cold force.
It seemed that what the two Ice Spirit Silkworms sensed just now was this thing.
This black boulder was square, two feet wide and three feet long, like a huge black box, with many uneven holes on the surface, inside which blue-green spiritual light flickered from time to time.
On the side of the black stone facing upwards, there was an area that was not covered by the stone, revealing a part of the ice crystals, and one could see a figure in red robes lying inside.
Zhang Ling frowned, wondering if this was a coffin.
After observing this object for a while, he confirmed that it was indeed a coffin. At the same time, he recognized the material of the coffin, which was refined from a piece of Millennium Profound Ice Jade.
Millennium Profound Ice is also a good material for refining treasures, enough to be used as the main material for magic weapons, and the ice-attribute magic weapons refined from it are also quite powerful. Such a large piece of Millennium Profound Ice is also worth five to six hundred thousand spiritual stones.
The black substance attached to the outside of the ice coffin, however, was another thing, like a layer of hardened material formed by black silt accumulated on it.
But at this moment, Zhang Ling discovered that these black mists emitted a layer of dark blue spiritual light.
The two Ice Spirit Silkworms were precisely suppressed on it and unable to break free by this substance.
Zhang Ling pinched his fingers to form a magic seal, and a few spiritual lights hit it, making two loud bangs. However, the black substance on it flowed quickly like a liquid, blocking his attack.
Then he no longer hesitated and summoned two flying swords, and streams of sword light attacked the ice coffin.
Blinding green light burst out in front of him, and the black substance on it also flowed rapidly, forming more than a dozen blue-black chains, which wrapped around him.
Zhang Ling did not dodge these attacks, but with a thought, the two flying swords emitted a large amount of sword light, instantly shattering these chains.
But the chains that turned into fragments lit up with spiritual light, and like a layer of mud, they condensed into chains again, with a not weak recovery ability.
Zhang Ling snorted coldly, fully urged the flying sword to attack, and at the same time raised his hand, releasing a heavy yuan profound light, shining on the ice coffin in front of him.
Suddenly, the power of these black substances that condensed into chains was greatly restricted. The speed of forming chains became slow.
Under the sweep of the sword light, these substances were once again chopped into slag.
Zhang Ling grabbed with one hand, and a two-foot-sized spiritual power hand grabbed the black substance into his hand.
The black substance was temporarily trapped, but it still lit up with a strange spiritual light, and it was still constantly entangled in the aura's big hand.
Zhang Ling frowned slightly, and spat out a mass of condensed yellow pill fire, directly wrapped these substances and refined them.
Only a crackling sound was heard, like popping beans.
After a while, this black substance no longer lit up with spiritual light, it seemed to be refined, and turned into a kind of black gelatinous substance.
Eh, could it be… this is.
Seeing this thing, Zhang Ling suddenly thought of something.
At this time, this substance has shrunk into a ball, just being caught in his hand. And it began to harden, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a piece of black soil.
Divine sense swept over it and could not see any abnormality, but when he pinched it, this thing was like soft glue, cool to the touch, and could be pulled to a length of ten feet when pulled.
At the same time, when spiritual power was injected into it, this thing lit up with a condensed yellow spiritual light.
"Hehe, it really is a mass of Illusion Clay." Zhang Ling couldn't help but smile.
This is a rare material and extremely rare, it can absorb spiritual power, and can be used directly without refining. And it has no fixed shape and can change arbitrarily.
It can be seen that with a slight movement of his divine sense, the ring-shaped mud in his hand turned into a black flying sword, which looked exactly the same as a real copper sword.
The sword formula in his hand urged, and the flying sword brushed and brushed out more than a dozen sword lights, and these sword lights directly slashed on the stone wall twenty or thirty feet away, and there were several loud rumbling sounds, and it seemed that the power was not weaker than the power of ordinary flying sword magic weapons.
Then Zhang Ling turned his mind, the flying sword in his hand quickly softened and shrunk into a ball of soft glue, and under his command, it exploded with a bang, turning into a cluster of rice-sized sand, whirring and spinning.
Spiritual power was injected into these sand, and they lit up with yellow spiritual light, which was a real cluster of sand.
Finally, the formula in his hand urged, and this thing quickly gathered together, transforming into a black iron shield, flexibly rotating.
After some experiments, Zhang Ling was overjoyed, and did not expect to get this special material here.
This material can be used without refining, and can be transformed into various knives, swords, shields, magic weapons and other attacks. The power is not weaker than ordinary magic weapons.
Illusion Clay can be used without refining, the biggest reason is because this material cannot be refined at all.
Even with the blood refining method of the magic way, this material cannot be refined into other magic weapons. It is completely an extremely independent material and is an extremely rare non-attribute material.
The biggest function of this thing is to transform anything.
Injecting earth attribute spiritual power can transform anything containing earth attribute spiritual things, such as mud and stones, which can be easily transformed. Injecting wood attribute spiritual power can transform into grass and trees.
The magical power to arbitrarily change things is the biggest role of this thing.
Moreover, the biggest use of Illusion Clay is not to inject any spiritual power. Directly control it with divine sense, attach it to the surface of the body, turn it into ordinary mud, wrap itself and hide its whereabouts.
Zhang Ling thought of the biggest use of this thing recorded in ancient books, and immediately urged the Illusion Clay to attach to the surface of his body.
For a time, his body looked like a black clay statue. Then he directly used his divine sense to control the Illusion Clay, turning it into a half-zhang-sized black soil stone.
If this thing is not injected with spiritual power, it looks like ordinary mud and cannot see any abnormality at all. This is the characteristic of this thing without injecting spiritual power.
If you encounter a powerful monk and escape into the ground, and then use this thing to hide your figure, it will definitely be easy to escape danger.
Injecting spiritual power can arbitrarily change various things.
This function is similar to the effect of the Hidden Spirit Gauze in his hand, which is used to hide himself.
However, the use of Hidden Spirit Gauze will also consume its own spiritual power, and if other monks have strong divine sense, there is a high probability that it will be found.
And Illusion Clay does not have this concern.
Such a mass of Illusion Clay is enough to cover most of the zhang space, and it is completely no problem to wrap the whole body, maybe it can save his life at some time.
Suddenly, two strange sounds of gurgling came from the side.
Zhang Ling then came back to his senses and put away the Illusion Clay. The two Ice Spirit Silkworms were now lying on the ice coffin, constantly absorbing the extreme cold from above.
He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, the Millennium Profound Ice Jade contained extremely pure ice-cold power, no wonder the two Ice Spirit Silkworms could sense it on it.
Without the attachment of the Illusion Clay, the ice coffin made of Xuanbing Jade was completely exposed in front of him, and Zhang Ling also carefully looked at the corpse inside.
At the same time, I wondered why there was an ice coffin sunk in the water here. It seems that this place has not been discovered by other monks, then it is the remains of ancient monks inside.
Could it be that this is the place where an ancient monk sat and transformed, Zhang Ling couldn't help but think.
Some pictures were carved on the Xuanbing Jade coffin, which seemed to be just ordinary stone carvings, and there were no restrictions or anything like that.
He did not open the ice coffin immediately, and first explored around for a while.
Now that he is in the water, his divine sense is partially affected, but this place is not big, and after some exploration, there are no other discoveries.
Only a few chains are still wrapped around the ice coffin, which makes people a little concerned.
The material of this chain is special, it is not an ice attribute material and has a warm feeling, and there are some spiritual patterns flashing on it, it seems to be specially refined.
This made Zhang Ling a little hesitant, wondering if he should open this ice coffin to see. This ice coffin is so sealed, there must be some reason, and there may be danger after opening it.
The ice coffin is translucent, and you can vaguely see the corpse lying inside, it seems to be a female cultivator in a red dress.
This woman wore a phoenix crown and covered her face with an ice jade carved mask, covering most of her face, but she could still see part of her face, this woman's skin was fair and not decayed, and she was well preserved. Her hands were around her chest, and she was holding something flashing black light.
On closer inspection, it was a small black gold incense burner, which might be an ancient treasure.
Zhang Ling pondered for a while, first put the two Ice Spirit Silkworms into the spirit beast bag, and swam directly out of the water to the stone cave above.
