Chapter 351: Chapter 236: Cultivation World 26
As dawn broke, Si Lingle and Nianhai flew toward the Mystic Ice Glaze Golden Fruit Tree.
The Xuanming Ice Chai was circling beneath the Mystic Ice Glaze Golden Fruit Tree, noticing Si Lingle and Nianhai flying towards it.
It immediately flew out, roaring to the sky, its frosty breath like a reversed celestial river, turning the surroundings into a frigidity-filled purgatory.
Si Lingle, wielding the Qingchu Sword, transformed into a shadow to dodge the ice pillars’ impact, the sword light weaving like a dragon, leaving fissures that sparked fire on the Ice Chai’s scales.
Nianhai sat cross-legged in the air, the Kasaya fluttering as Buddhist Lock Chains wrapped around the poisonous hook of the Ice Chai’s tail, the collision of Buddhist light and demon energy exploding into blinding illumination.
Furious, the Ice Chai’s tail hook suddenly enlarged, tearing the Buddhist Lock Chains, its barbs piercing into Nianhai’s shoulder, icy venom corroding the Golden Body.
Despite his pale complexion, Nianhai used the momentum to seal, directing the icy venom into the Rebirth Array beneath his feet, then countered with the Demon-Subduing Pestle, smashing toward the left eye of the Ice Chai, and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Yun Hua, attack the vulnerable point!"
Seizing the opportunity, Si Lingle propelled the Tai Chi Sword Formation composed of Sword Pills, the sword light pouring down like torrential rain, splattering blood at the reverse scale of the Ice Chai.
The Xuanming Ice Glaze cast Divine Skills, activating the Xuanming Ice Domain, using its chill to freeze the opponent’s spiritual energy flow, thereby weakening the enemy’s attack speed and flexibility.
As the Xuanming Ice Domain was opened, Si Lingle and Nianhai jointly deployed the Red Sun Formation to resist the Xuanming Ice Domain.
Simultaneously, Jiu Jiu charged, executing the Space Instant Teleportation Technique to appear behind Xuanming Ice Glaze, unleashing a fire attack.
At the same time, Jiu Jiu suppressed with Divine Sense, immobilizing Xuanming Ice Glaze.
Bang!
The attacks from both human and beast landed squarely on the vulnerable point of the Xuanming Ice Glaze.
The Ice Chai, in its death throes, tried to detonate the ice core within, but Jiu Jiu discerned the intention of the Xuanming Ice Glaze, exerting Space Heavy Strike suppression, followed by Space Blade, the Space Blade piercing the head of the Ice Chai.
The Xuanming Ice Chai crashed to the ground, demon blood soaking into the Ice Plain, transforming into crimson ice crystals.
Because this Xuanming Ice Glaze was a Great Demon at the Divinity Transformation Stage, significantly above the tier, Si Lingle thereby summoned Jiu Jiu to intervene.
Previously withholding Jiu Jiu’s intervention, Si Lingle aimed to hone her own prowess.
Nonetheless, she wasn’t a masochist, facing a two-tier higher demon beast, wouldn’t stubbornly fight to the death.
Furthermore, with outsiders present, there was no need to expose herself to severe injuries.
After Xuanming Ice Glaze’s demise, Si Lingle and her companions harvested the Mystic Ice Glaze Golden Fruit, while the corpse of Xuanming Ice Glaze, Si Lingle obtained the ice core, and Nianhai claimed the body.
The two then parted ways, Si Lingle advancing north.
Several days later
Si Lingle caught an Ice Soul Fish and was grilling the fish for Jiu Jiu on the ice surface.
Once cooked, Si Lingle first handed it to Jiu Jiu.
Then offered it to the Great King, which leaned its head forward, mouth agape, when suddenly, the grilled fish vanished from Si Lingle’s hand.
The Great King stared wide-eyed, incredulous. Where’s its grilled fish?
The daring thief actually stole its grilled fish!
Si Lingle was also somewhat taken aback; she had laid an Array, and something intruding without triggering the Array, and even evading Jiu Jiu’s Divine Sense detection, silently stole the grilled fish.
Si Lingle’s eyes sparkled, resuming grilling fish.
Yet this time, the grilled fish was not stolen.
Si Lingle mused: This thing’s quite clever, this time the grilled fish was seasoned, and it didn’t come to steal.
Or perhaps this thief had already fled far away?
Si Lingle grilled another fish, sans seasoning, and just as she prepared to hand it to the Great King, the grilled fish vanished once more.
This fish-stealing thief was astute, knowing she added seasoning, hence abstained from theft.
Si Lingle transmitted to Jiu Jiu: "Jiu Jiu, can you use the Space Domain to capture this little thief."
"No problem." Jiu Jiu, too, wanted to discern what beast could be so adept, evading its Divine Sense detection.
Si Lingle grilled fish again, and at the instant of grilling, Jiu Jiu deployed the Space Domain, within which the thief became visible.
This little beast’s fur transitioned from silver-gray to transparent ripples, its back adorned with scales resembling "Blinding Grass" patterns, its pupils pale golden vertical slits, pads inscribed with natural runes, moving silently.
Jiu Jiu said, "It’s a White Jade Spirit Life Weasel."
"This little thing can be nurtured, beneficial for cultivating Spirit Plants."
The White Jade Spirit Life Weasel’s innate bloodline talent encompasses Spirit Soil Escape, traversing Spirit Field soil at a hundredfold normal speed, harmonizing spiritual energy for balanced Spirit Plant growth.
The tail bifurcates like leaf veins, secreting a luminous green liquid promoting seed germination.
During nocturnal activities, a miniature spiritual energy vortex forms around it, accelerating Spirit Plant maturation, but the vortex simultaneously attracts other demon beasts, thus a full-grown White Jade Spirit Life Weasel is rare.
