"This Elder Bi, he's an Earth class late phase peak? And he's your grandpa's personal butler? He's suddenly interested in Zhao Qibing's bastard son? "Lin Yi frowned, thinking that this didn't make sense at all!
"Yeah, there must be something I don't know about, but I don't know what it is exactly. This is a family secret, after all. They wouldn't let me know about it." Qikun shook his head. "I had a good chance of becoming the next head, but Zhao Qibing's sudden appearance put my position in jeopardy …"
"Oh, try to find out about it then." Lin Yi said that, but he didn't really care about the hidden House Zhao. Zhao Qibing wanted to become the head of the hidden House Zhao, but that would take a while. Even if he did become the head of the hidden House Zhao, he wouldn't be able to come and get revenge right away! Putting aside the fact that he wasn't as strong as Lin Yi, even if he was, he wouldn't act recklessly!
Lin Yi understood what Qikun meant. Qikun wanted to use him against Zhao Qibing, but Lin Yi didn't have the time to do so yet. If Zhao Qibing didn't mess with him, he wouldn't have the time to go after him! After all, he had an Earth class late phase peak as his shifu. It wouldn't be wise for Lin Yi to go after him.
"Alright, I'll find out about it when I get back." Qikun could tell that Lin Yi didn't want to make a move, but it didn't matter- Lin Yi and Qibing had such a huge grudge. He didn't believe that Qibing would just let it go. When Qibing had enough strength, he'd definitely go after Lin Yi for revenge.
The more he followed Lin Yi, the more shocked Qikun was!
He felt that Lin Yi had not taken any detours on this snowy mountain. He had been walking in circles, as if he was specifically going for some Heaven and Earth Treasures. Those Heaven and Earth Treasures hidden under the roots and in the snow could be easily found by Lin Yi!
In the blink of an eye, he and Qijiu's points had broken through the one thousand mark, and Lin Yi, Yu Bing, and Qiqi were all showing signs of breaking through the two thousand mark! Isn't this a little too awesome?
Qikun had already decided not to stay in Ice Palace as an outer disciple, but since there were so many treasures, he might as well give the hidden House Zhao an exchange right. It was a symbol of honor as well, and at least it could prove his strength!
Lin Yi didn't tell Qikun or Qijiu about Skybolt pig. Even when he was communicating with Skybolt pig, Lin Yi only used the excuse of peeing as an excuse, not letting Qikun know.
"Still no sign of the fruit?" Lin Yi frowned and asked Skybolt pig.
"Oink …" Skybolt pig shook his head.
"Then let's keep going- there's still one more day to the end of the test." Lin Yi sighed. Things had already exceeded Lin Yi's expectations- the Ice Palace was an unexpected factor. At Zhang Liju's time, the Ice Palace didn't exist yet, and now that the Ice Palace had taken over this snowy mountain and named it Ice Mountain, the Fire Spirit Fruit would most likely be theirs as well.
At noon on the third day, Lin Yi and the others were almost at the top of the mountain, but from afar, the peak was surrounded by a huge wall. In front of the wall, there were Ice Palace disciples in white robes patrolling!
Evidently, this was the location of the Ice Palace, the forbidden zone for the participants this time- they wouldn't be able to go any further!
The walls of the Ice Palace looked like they were made of ice, but upon closer inspection, Lin Yi realized that it looked more like a hard crystal. On top of the crystal wall, there were cameras, monitoring something.
It seemed that the Ice Palace had modern electronic equipment- from this, one could see that the people of the Ice Palace weren't the type to follow the rules! This increased Lin Yi's confidence- even if he really couldn't find the fruit, as long as he got the right to trade for treasures, he might be able to get what he wanted!
But in the evening, Skybolt pig suddenly moved and jumped onto Lin Yi, barking non-stop.
Of course, Qikun and Qijiu didn't know what Skybolt pig was doing- they thought that he was just acting cute to Lin Yi.
But Lin Yi understood what Skybolt pig was trying to say. Skybolt pig must have sensed the location of the Fire Spirit's fruit!
"This guy needs to pee, I'll bring him there!" Lin Yi shrugged helplessly.
"…" Qikun was speechless, "God, a spirit beast needs to carry someone to pee?"
"Ha …" Lin Yi smiled, not saying much. He carried Skybolt pig and went behind a pile of snow.
"It's up there, I can feel it!" Skybolt Pig quickly wrote down its meaning on the snowy ground.
"Up there? You mean, inside the walls? "Lin Yi looked up at the mountaintop. That was where the Ice Palace was!
"Ji ji!" Skybolt pig nodded.
"As expected." Lin Yi sighed. It was just as he guessed, the Fire Spirit's fruit was taken by the Ice Palace, and it was impossible for him to find it himself. He could only hope that they won the test and trade it with the Ice Palace.
Lin Yi carried the pig back and nodded to Qikun and the others, "It's about time for the test to end. Let's take a break, everyone. Above us is the Ice Palace's territory, and there aren't any treasures to be found."
Yu Bing, Qikun, and the others all nodded and sat down. Since Lin Yi said he wanted to rest, they'd listen to him. Plus, the treasures they had were more than enough to pass this test. There was no point in searching for more.
Lin Yi and the others didn't stay long before Qing floated over. Behind her was a group of disciples in white, and she spoke loudly, "Attention all participants, the test is over, please report to the mountain top!"
Little Qing's internal strength was strong. Although her voice didn't seem very loud, with the support of her internal strength, it could travel very far. Everyone on the mountain could probably hear it!
