Chapter 23: Is He Deserving?

Shi Yuchen was even more proud, laughing and saying, "Brother Fan has already reserved a place in the top ten for the sect competition on the 21st!"

"In a few months, Brother Fan will not be able to come even if you want to.

By then, he will have joined that terrifying power!"

Envy flashed in everyone's eyes.

If you can join that power, you can say that you are no longer a person in a different world.

Fan Botao was immersed in the flattery and admiration of everyone.

For a moment, he felt very comfortable and enjoyed it very much.

Ye Xinghe watched from the side, shook his head slowly, and his eyes were light with a bit of disdain.

It turned out that Fan Botao was not only arrogant, but also very shameless.

It was obviously himself who practiced swordsmanship, but he actually took the honor! Ye Xinghe could see it through this day of getting along.

Qiu Jiangxue is the soul of this team.

Zhao Tongshan has a very good relationship with her.

Fan Botao was a little interested in Qiu Jiangxue, Shi Yuchen was Fan Botao's follower, and Xiahou Shi admired Fan Botao.

This relationship was really complicated.

As for Ye Xinghe?

They had never thought that this matter would be done by Ye Xinghe.

In their eyes, Ye Xinghe was just a useless person without cultivation.

After eating and drinking, they continued to move forward.

After passing through a deep canyon, they stepped into the dense forest again.

Following the mountain, they slowly climbed up, and it seemed that they were heading towards the top of the mountain.

After walking for nearly two hours, Zhao Tongshan parted the long grass in front of him that was more than one person tall, and suddenly cheered loudly.

The front suddenly opened up.

On the top of the mountain, there was a flat open space, and in the middle was a deep cold pool.

The area was about a hundred meters in radius. At this time, the sun was setting, casting golden light all over the sky.

The setting sun reflected on the pool, and the surrounding area was the yellowed and withered grass. The autumn wind blew slowly, and the fallen leaves flew.

This scene is intoxicating.

Qiu Jiangxue laughed loudly and said, "We have reached our destination now."

"The location of the Seven-Star Spirit Moon Bamboo is under this cold pond."

Everyone came to the edge of the pond. The cold pond was so deep that it was like the mouth of a giant beast.

Qiu Jiangxue said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I spent a huge price before and got information worth a thousand gold."

"Follow this cold pond and dive fifteen meters down. There is a cave. The Seven-Star Spirit Moon Bamboo is deep in that cave."

Fan Botao said, "Are there no monsters guarding around the Seven-Star Spirit Moon Bamboo?"

Qiu Jiangxue said, "There are no monsters guarding around the Seven-Star Spirit Moon Bamboo, but the process of entering the cold pond is very dangerous."

"There is an extremely powerful monster in this cold pond: the Ice Anaconda!"

Everyone looked down and felt a chill in their hearts.

Under the pond, shadows passed from time to time, slender and huge.

Wherever they passed, there were fine ice chips floating.

The length was probably five or six meters, and the thickness was like a wine jar.

If you can't breathe in the water, being strangled by such a powerful monster, the consequences will be disastrous.

Fan Botao's expression changed, and he said coldly: "Ice Anaconda, a fifth-level monster in the Tempering Body Realm, I am not a match in the water!"

"Whoever wants to go to this cold pond can go, I won't go to die!"

This person directly fled from the battlefield.

Qiu Jiangxue said calmly: "Brother Fan, I have made sufficient preparations, you don't have to worry."

After that, he took out several pills.

The whole body is bright yellow, and there is an extremely strong smell emanating.

Fan Botao's eyes lit up: "Sulfur?"

Qiu Jiangxue smiled and said: "It is made of the essence of the best sulfur. It's small, and each one of them is equivalent to a full thousand pounds of sulfur!"

Zhao Tongshan smiled and said: "Those who didn't complete the task before basically died in the hands of these ice anacondas."

"With these pills, you can be worry-free."

Everyone looked at Qiu Jiangxue, and their eyes were very convinced.

Qiu Jiangxue made a lot of preparations for this mission. Both the information and the pills were at great cost.

A trace of regret flashed across Ye Xinghe's eyes.

"Yes, Qiu Jiangxue prepared very thoroughly."

"But unfortunately, if we follow her arrangement, this mission will not be completed at all, and we will fail in the end."

"And everyone will die miserably."

Everyone rested and prepared to go down to the cold pond half an hour later.

Ye Xinghe walked into the dense forest and came back just before departure.

Shi Yuchen muttered disdainfully: "What is this kid doing again?"

Fan Botao closed his eyes and didn't bother to look at him at all, and ignored Ye Xinghe directly.

Half an hour later, everyone went down to the cold pond at the location designated by Qiu Jiangxue.

The water in the cold pond was icy cold, but for these warriors who were at the worst level of the fourth level of the body tempering realm, it was nothing.

Everyone's bodies sank, like weights, falling rapidly downwards.

The moment they entered the cold pond, a huge strange figure swam over.

It was the Ice Anaconda! Ye Xinghe saw clearly that the strength of these Ice Anacondas was almost the same as that of the Blue Python! However, Ye Xinghe was not afraid. Even if they appeared in the water, he could easily kill them.

But Ye Xinghe didn't need to do anything at this time.

Qiu Jiangxue shot out a few yellow pills and hit the Ice Anaconda.

Suddenly, the bullets broke, and the sulfur essence gushed out and merged into the water.

The water was dyed yellow.

The thick sulfur seeped into the eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other parts of the Ice Anaconda.

In an instant, these Ice Anacondas all screamed miserably and struggled frantically in the water.

The water waves were stirred up and whirlpools appeared.

But they were unable to take care of Ye Xinghe and others.

Everyone passed this level smoothly and descended to about 15 or 16 meters. As expected, they saw a small gap in the water.

Qiu Jiangxue swam forward and put his hand into the gap, as if to activate some switch.

With a click, a crack appeared next to it, enough for one person to enter.

Everyone swam in one after another.

As the waterway went up, the water became shallower and shallower.

Soon everyone left the water and came to a cave.

There was a step under their feet that went down diagonally, and the front was not pitch black. There was a faint red light on the cave wall.

The further they went, the brighter the red light on the cave wall, and the higher the temperature.

It seemed that there was an underground volcano here.

Soon, everyone had gone a hundred meters deep into the mountain.

Turning a corner, the front suddenly opened up and a huge cave appeared.

It was a hundred meters in radius and tens of meters high.

In the center of the cave, there was actually a lava lake.

The hot lava was flowing.

The temperature here was extremely high, and everyone was sweating profusely, with their faces burning.

What was extremely magical was that there was actually a clump of bamboo in the center of the lava lake.

Qiu Jiangxue's eyes lit up, and she shouted in surprise: "Seven-star Spirit Moon Bamboo!"

It was emerald green all over, as if carved from jade.

It was about five feet high, with seven purple spots from top to bottom, magnificent and magical, like seven stars.

Below were dense purple roots extending into the lava lake.

In this lava lake, it absorbed the extremely hot power of the earth's core.

But it exuded a strong and cold air, and a strange fragrance.

You can tell at a glance that it is a rare treasure! Everyone felt refreshed and their hearts were cool after smelling it.

Everyone's eyes were straight, and they were excited.

"Extreme coldness is bred in an extremely hot environment! It's really a miracle of creation!"

"There are eight Seven-Star Spirit Moon Bamboo here!"

"Now we are going to get rich!"

Qiu Jiangxue looked at everyone and said with a smile: "There are eight in total, six of us, one each."

"How about exchanging the remaining two for silver and dividing them equally?"

Everyone had no objection.

In fact, Qiu Jiangxue herself suffered a lot by distributing it this way.

After all, she paid such a huge price before.

Fan Botao's eyes suddenly flashed with a sinister look, and he winked at Shi Yuchen.

Shi Yuchen understood instantly and said loudly: "Qiu Jiangxue, I don't accept it."

"Why should Ye Xinghe take one of the Seven-Star Spirit Moon Bamboo?

Does he deserve it?"

Fan Botao said calmly: "There are eight in total. I am the strongest. I take three. You have no objection, right?"

Shi Yuchen said loudly: "That's right, senior brother, you take three."

"Qiu Jiangxue has also made great efforts this time. She takes two. The remaining three will be divided among the three of us."

As he said, he pointed at Zhao Tongshan and Xiahou Shi.

Xiahou Shi echoed from the side: "I have no objection."

They didn't mention Ye Xinghe at all.
