The woman in the palace skirt sat in a high position, her jade feet slightly raised, looking at the Ice Demon Emperor with a hint of joking.
"Mu Ji, have you finished refining the elixir I asked for?" The Ice Demon Emperor's eyes were firmly fixed on the woman in the palace skirt on the throne, and he asked eagerly.
"I'm ready!"
The woman in the palace skirt flicked her fingertips, and a crystal clear wooden box jumped out from the storage ring. The lid of the box opened lightly, revealing an ice-blue elixir as bright as jade.
There was a hint of chill in the rich fragrance of the elixir, the surrounding temperature dropped quietly, and the elixir spirit transformed into a majestic ice-blue toad.
"This is the seventh-level Taoist elixir - the ice clam elixir!"
The Ice Demon King's eyes suddenly brightened, and in his excitement, the cold air on his body resonated with it, becoming even more surging.
At this moment, the old man in green robe standing next to him was also shocked. He suddenly waved the wooden staff in his hand, and a green light instantly protected him. However, the light was covered in frost in an instant, making a crackling sound and almost breaking into pieces. The old man in green robe was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated.
"These are five thousand top-quality spiritual stones. This is the reward you deserve. Give me the elixir quickly."
The Ice Demon King quickly restrained his cold energy. At the same time, he took out a bag of spiritual stones from his arms and threw it at the woman in the palace skirt without hesitation.
The woman in the palace skirt took the bag and accepted it unceremoniously, but did not return the elixir to the Ice Demon Emperor.
This move made the Ice Demon Emperor unhappy for a while.
"Muji, you have accepted the reward, should you give me the elixir?" the Ice Demon King asked anxiously.
The woman in the palace skirt smiled sweetly at this moment and said: "This time I succeeded in refining the Ice Clam Spirit Pill after three failures. It took countless efforts and five thousand top-quality spirit stones, but it just allowed me to barely maintain my capital."< br>
"What on earth do you want...Speak directly, what else do you need!"
The Ice Demon Emperor frowned. He had already heard the implication of the woman in the palace skirt. It was obvious that he was no longer satisfied with the five thousand top-quality spiritual stones. This temporary increase in price made him angry, but he did not dare to break his face easily. .
Just because he was seriously injured at this moment and was poisoned by fire, which caused the aura in his body to be disordered, and it was often difficult to control the bursts of cold air. As a result, the northern demon region under his jurisdiction has suffered from frequent cold disasters in the past three hundred years, and his subordinates have suffered terribly. Let the Southern Fire Demon Emperor repeatedly take this opportunity to humiliate him.
But he didn't dare to use force easily. Once the anger invaded his heart, it would only accelerate the corrosion of fire poison.
"I need some high-level spiritual water, whether it is the seventh or eighth level, please help me get it as soon as possible. An ice clam elixir is definitely not enough to suppress your injuries! If you help me find it, the reward will be paid separately! "The corners of the woman's mouth raised slightly, revealing some unquestionable determination.
"High-level spiritual water? Huh, you are a lion." The Ice Demon King's face was gloomy, but a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he asked with concern: "What do you want this high-level spiritual water for?"
"You shouldn't pry, don't ask! If the matter is done well, it will benefit you!" The woman in the palace skirt took a deep look at the Ice Demon Emperor and ordered coldly.
The woman in the palace skirt continued leisurely: "The first seventh-level spiritual water is called the 'Netherworld Cold Spring'. It is located in the far north, hidden under ten thousand years of ice, and its water is extremely cold. The second place , the seventh-level 'Tianling Yanshui', hidden in the Eastern Flame Mountains The core area is a strange place where volcanoes and spiritual springs coexist. The 'Tianling Flame Water' is formed by the intersection of volcanic geothermal heat and underground spiritual springs.
"As for the third place, it is the even more rare eighth-level spiritual water - 'Blue Sea Tidal Sound Dew'. It only appears in the depths of the endless sea. It is naturally condensed from ten thousand-year-old corals and seabed spiritual beads after years of changes. This water contains the power of the sea, which can wash away all impurities and reshape the foundation of the body. ”
"Any one of these three can be exchanged for your Ice Clam Dao Pill, and I, Mu Ji, will not be stingy with the subsequent rewards." The woman in the palace skirt signaled in a seductive voice.
Hearing this, a trace of greed flashed in the Ice Demon King's eyes. If he could find these high-level spiritual waters, not only would his injuries be cured, but he would also be able to take this opportunity to greatly increase his strength and avenge his previous shame.
"Okay! Muji, I promise you. But you must first give me the Ice Clam Taoist Pill to suppress the fire poison in my body. Otherwise, how can I have the ability to find these rare things?" the Ice Demon Emperor proposed. His own conditions, with a non-negotiable toughness in his tone.
The woman in the palace skirt chuckled lightly, as if she had expected it. She waved her jade hand lightly, and the Ice Clam Dao Pill slowly flew towards the Ice Demon King as if it had a spirit, and stopped in his palm.
"The deal is done, Ice Demon Emperor, don't let me down." The voice of the woman in the palace skirt echoed in the empty hall, with a hint of expectation.
Watching the Ice Demon Emperor turn into a ray of icy blue light and fly away through the sky, the woman in the palace skirt, Mu Ji, withdrew her gaze.
At this time, the old man in green robe couldn't bear to ask: "Mr. Muji, this Demon Emperor seems a bit unreliable. Relying on him to search for high-level spiritual water, why not leave it to my subordinates? I will lead people to search, and I will definitely be more reliable than him." Spectrum.”
"Forget it! You and I are both enlightened as wood demons. Our abilities in traveling far and finding objects are inferior to them. Although the Ice Demon Emperor has a surly temperament, he is still considered the overlord in the demon world. , has its own means and power." Mu Ji looked deeply, shook her head and smiled.
Hearing this, the old man in green robe frowned slightly, still seeming a little worried: "But if he doesn't fulfill his promise after getting the elixir, wouldn't we draw water from a bamboo basket in vain?"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Mu Ji's lips, and she said calmly: "He doesn't dare. Although this Ice Clam Taoist Pill is precious, to me, it is just something that comes easily. If he dares to betray me, I will have my own means to make him regret it." And.”
The old man in green robe nodded silently and said in a deep voice: "If we find these three kinds of spiritual water, will it definitely help the Green Wood Tree Ancestor recover his spiritual consciousness?"
Mu Ji nodded lightly and said with a complex expression: "Water produces wood. This is the principle of heaven and earth. High-level spiritual water does have a nourishing effect that cannot be underestimated for the wood demon clan. However, the situation of the Aoki Tree Ancestor is complicated. It has been imprisoned for thousands of years, and its spiritual consciousness has been severely damaged, which is unusual. Even with the help of high-level spiritual water, it will take time to slowly recover."
"As for the ninth-level divine water, it exists in legend and has the effect of changing fate against the heavens. However, such divine objects are rare in the world, and it is difficult to find traces of them in the spiritual world. All we can do is try our best. Looking for high-level spiritual water to help the recovery of the Aoki Tree Ancestor.”
The green-robed old man looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "In your opinion, how much help can these three high-level spiritual waters help the recovery of Tree Ancestor?"
Mu Ji smiled slightly and explained: "The 'Netherworld Cold Spring' is from yin to cold. Although it is contrary to the attributes of the tree ancestor, if it can be used skillfully, it can help it reconcile the yin and yang in the body and stabilize the injury. The 'Tianling Flame Water' is to Yang is extremely strong, useful for nourishing the physical body and restoring spiritual power. It has miraculous effects. 'Blue Sea Tide Sound Dew' contains the power of the sea, which can wash away all filth and has an immeasurable nourishing effect on the damaged spiritual consciousness of the tree ancestor. As for when it will fully 'awake', I Not sure either. ”
The old man in the robe frowned and said worriedly: "Doesn't that mean that even if we find these three kinds of spiritual water, the recovery of the Green Wood Tree Ancestor will be extremely long?"
"That's true. But even so, we can't give up any hope. Although the seventh- and eighth-level spiritual water cannot cure him, it can buy him precious time and give us the opportunity to find a more effective treatment method." Mu Ji sighed and said helplessly.
……
After the Ice Demon King flew out of the space inside the tree, he immediately found a hiding place and couldn't wait to start refining the precious Ice Clam Dao Pill and swallowing it.
After the elixir entered his belly, the Ice Demon Emperor felt a cold and pure power rising from his dantian and quickly spreading throughout his body. This power echoed the cold air in his body, but it also carried an indescribable vitality and vitality, as if it could wash away all the filth and pain in his body. He closed his eyes and concentrated, using all his demon power to guide the medicinal power to travel along the meridians and impact the acupuncture points and tendons damaged by the fire poison. Every time I passed by, there was a sharp pain, but what followed was a more transparent and comfortable feeling.
As time went by, the fire poison in the Ice Demon King's body seemed to be gradually forced back by this cold force, and the originally chaotic aura slowly returned to stability. He could feel that his strength was gradually recovering, and there was even a faint tendency to break through the bottleneck.
Just as the Ice Demon King recovered part of his injuries and was about to search for high-level spiritual water, he suddenly remembered something, and his spiritual mind swept away and he immediately found the target.
At this time, Li Mu and Xiao Jin were in a spiritual medicine shop, purchasing some rare high-level spiritual seeds. At this moment, they suddenly felt an inexplicable spiritual force coming over them, and their hearts trembled.
Li Mu immediately understood the general situation and looked outside the pharmacy.
I saw the Ice Demon King flashing and appearing outside the shop. He was surrounded by a faint cold air, and his eyes were like thousand-year-old ice. He was looking directly at Li Mu and Xiao Jin. His appearance caused the temperature in the shop to drop sharply. There was an oppressive and dangerous atmosphere in the air.
"Master!" Xiao Jin noticed the cold aura of the eighth-level demon king and instantly became alert.
"It's okay, no need to be nervous!" Li Mu comforted him in a deep voice.
Facing the eighth-level Demon King's lock, Xiao Jin felt pressure, but with his master around, he didn't have much to fear.
The Ice Demon King descended in front of them, his eyes flashing with ice, and he said to Xiao Jin in a superior manner: "The blue-eyed golden ape, the seventh-level true spirit, is really rare. This friend, I wonder if he is interested in coming to my house." As a guest?”
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Huh? Are you looking for me? Are we familiar?" Xiao Jin pointed to himself, with a confused look on his face.
Li Mu was also puzzled. The Ice Demon King had turned a blind eye to them before, but now he came to them. The target was obviously Xiao Jin.
"To be honest, I think you are a seventh-level true spirit with a solid foundation and good strength. I would like to invite you to serve as a palace elder in my palace. I don't know what to do!" The Ice Demon Emperor looked at Xiao Jin and stated his intention bluntly.
Hearing this, Xiao Jin curled up his lips, and another person came to ask him to be his subordinate. Before, the Demon Emperor Tianxu sent the little Demon King to be the leader. Now the Demon Emperor came in person and asked him to be the elder.
What good is it to live under someone else's roof? Wouldn't it be nice to follow the master and eat and drink?
"Sorry! I'm not interested!" Xiao Jin refused without even thinking.
However, before Xiao Jin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Mu: "The position of palace elder sounds quite noble, but..."
Li Mu deliberately lengthened his tone and said with a hint of worry: "We are new here, and we don't know much about the situation in your mansion. Furthermore, Xiao Jin is used to acting freely, and suddenly being on duty under the Demon Emperor may not be easy to adapt to."
Hearing this, the Ice Demon Emperor did not show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he smiled slightly and said: "I understand, I understand, I am being rude. However, I am sincere. If you two are willing, you can follow me back first." Palace, it’s not too late to make a decision after understanding it. Besides, there are many rare treasures and many cultivation resources in this palace, which will be of great help to improve your cultivation. You may wish to consider it.”
< br>
"Master, what does this mean?" Xiao Jin looked at Li Mu doubtfully and asked in confusion.
"His Royal Highness the Demon King values you so much, so why not come here?" Li Mu smiled slightly and accepted the invitation.
Um? Owner? This human boy is actually the master of this seventh-level true spirit? The Ice Demon King was greatly surprised. He looked at Li Mu carefully and found that this human was only at the Fusion Realm. This made him surprised and made him even more angry.
The dignified seventh-level true spirits of the demon race actually surrendered to humans. However, since this human race is willing to go together, he doesn't have to worry about it. He only needs to take them away from Ten Thousand Demons City first and then find an opportunity to solve the problem.
As for this seventh-level true spirit, with his mid-eighth-level peak strength, he can easily handle it.
After thinking about it, the Ice Demon King smiled and urged: "Since this friend has said so, it is better to choose the day than to hit it. Let's set off now."
"Okay!" Li Mu naturally agreed readily.
Although Xiao Jin was full of doubts, he still followed Li Mu's wishes.
The group of people left Muhua Street and sped towards the outside of Ten Thousand Demons City.
Not long after the three of them left this giant city filled with evil spirits, something unexpected happened.
The Ice Demon King's face suddenly turned gloomy. He suddenly stopped in the air, his eyes piercing Xiao Jin like a knife, and asked sternly: "How can the majestic seventh-level true spirit, the glory of my demon clan, be inferior to humans? Immediately Break away from it, surrender your heart and soul, and surrender to me, otherwise, today will be the day of your death!”
As he spoke, the cold air surged around the Ice Demon King's body, and a terrifying demonic aura swept out, as if it was about to freeze the world. His eyes were full of coldness.
"You want me to break away from my master? You are my master, what are you kidding me about?" Xiao Jin's eyes widened, filled with anger.
Li Mu was a little stunned by the Ice Demon Emperor's sudden change of face, but he was relieved soon after. The Demon Emperor was also a demon, unpredictable, bullying the weak and fearful of the strong, and could change his face faster than turning the page of a book. He should have expected it. .
"Today, I will clean up the door for the demon clan and let you understand the meaning of dignity and inferiority!" the Ice Demon Emperor said solemnly.
Before he finished speaking, the Ice Demon King's whole body was filled with cold air, and the whole world was frozen by his awe-inspiring intention. He suddenly took action, and fired several ice cones condensed with extreme coldness, with a whistling sound, towards Xiao Jin and Li Mu. And go.
Xiao Jin was shocked. He never expected that the Demon Emperor, who had greeted him with a smile before, would suddenly get angry. In a hurry, he could only reveal his true form in a hurry, transform into a golden giant ape, and sacrifice his natal weapon - The Golden Gang Dragon Snake Stick forms a Vajra Protector to resist attacks.
"Cang!" The ice cone collided with the Golden Gang Dragon Snake Stick, making a deafening sound. The golden light and the ice blue light intertwined, erupting with strong energy fluctuations.
Xiao Jin hurriedly accepted the challenge, but the strength was there after all, and the power of the seventh-level true spirit should not be underestimated.
However, the power of the ice cone was even more astonishing, and Xiao Jin's huge body flew away. .
The moment Xiao Jin was blasted away, Li Mu's figure suddenly disappeared, as if blending into the air, leaving only a faint afterimage.
"Huh? This human kid actually..." When the Ice Demon King saw this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary human kid could have such weird movement skills, and he could do it right under his nose. Disappeared without a trace.
However, the Ice Demon Emperor soon discovered Li Mu's traces. He frowned and felt uneasy in his heart for no reason, because he noticed that this human boy was weird. There didn't seem to be any nervousness or uneasiness on his face. This invisible pressure made him feel very uncomfortable. (End of chapter)
