At this moment, no one knew if the Xuan Ice Demons were alarmed by the Xuan Ice Current or attracted by Lu Xuan's radiance, but they still came.
"Hide behind me." Lu Xuan pulled Chen Xiaohan behind him and looked at the Xuan Ice Demons with his sword in one hand.
There were a total of five Xuan Ice Demons. Luo Ning had told him before that there were Xuan Ice Demons in the ice cave, so Lu Xuan wasn't surprised. Moreover, he felt that the aura of these Xuan Ice Demons wasn't strong. The strongest one was only at the first or second stage of the Spirit Refinement realm, so they weren't a threat to him.
Seeing a human, these Xuan Ice Demons didn't hesitate and directly rushed forward to kill Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan naturally didn't say much. The only way to deal with these Xuan Ice Demons was to kill them.
With the Startling Wind Sword, a gust of wind mixed with a sharp sword intent directly attacked the Xuan Ice Demons.
"Ahhhhh!"
A few ear-piercing screams sounded. Three Xuan Ice Demons that were only equivalent to the Body Refinement Realm were instantly killed. With Lu Xuan's current strength, killing these guys in front of him was as easy as blowing off dust.
Seeing how powerful Lu Xuan was, the two surviving Black Ice Demons at the Spirit Refinement Realm didn't even think before turning around and running away. The Black Ice Demons had already developed intelligence. Although they weren't very intelligent, they knew how to seek fortune and avoid danger.
However, there was no way Lu Xuan was going to let them escape. He activated the Flying Incantation and dashed forward at full speed. He continued to attack with the Thunderclap Sword, and a huge thunderbolt struck out in an instant. A loud explosion was heard, and the two frost demons were both killed. Their bodies dissipated into the Primordial Energy of the world, leaving behind two small ice crystals.
Without wasting anything, Lu Xuan walked over and picked up the two Ice Souls. At the same time, he sensed the surrounding Yuan Power. He discovered that the Yuan Power concentration in this ice cave was much higher than the outside world. Putting aside the secrets of this ice cave, just this place alone was a treasure land for cultivation.
"Lu Xuan, have you realized that this ice cave doesn't seem to be formed naturally. Instead, it seems to have been dug by someone. Look at these marks. They were clearly left behind by an attack." Chen Xiaohan, who was behind Lu Xuan, reminded him.
"Yes, indeed." Lu Xuan scanned his surroundings, and discovered that it was just as Chen Xiaohan had said. The ice walls of the entire ice cave were densely packed with attack marks. If they were naturally formed, they would definitely be incomparably smooth.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xuan continued, "However, to dig such a large ice cave with an unknown depth would definitely require a lot of time. If it were a disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion, they would definitely not have the time to waste here. Therefore, there is only one possibility for this ice cave to be dug."
After saying that, Lu Xuan looked at Chen Xiaohan. Chen Xiaohan immediately understood, "You're saying that the one who dug this ice cave was the Profound Ice Demons?"
Lu Xuan nodded, "That should be the case. Only they, who live in the Profound Ice Secret Realm all year round, have a lot of time to do this. Moreover, there are many Profound Ice Demons. As long as they spend some time, they might be able to do it."
"But, why would they want to do this?" Chen Xiaohan asked, puzzled.
"Feel it, the concentration of the yuan energy in the surroundings is clearly higher than the outside world. You can imagine that the concentration of yuan energy in the depths of the ice cave is even higher. The Profound Ice Demons have already developed intelligence, and their bodies are formed from pure ice yuan energy. They have an extreme thirst for ice yuan energy, so they must have discovered this. That's why they spent so much effort to dig this ice cave." Lu Xuan deduced.
After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Chen Xiaohan also understood slightly and said, "That Luo Ning said that he obtained a few top quality yuan stones here. Since the concentration of yuan energy here is so high, maybe there is an extremely large yuan stone mine in the depths of this ice cave!"
"Your theory is extremely likely. If that's the case, then we'll be rich!" Hearing Chen Xiaohan's words, Lu Xuan couldn't help but lick his lips in excitement.
The value of a yuan stone mine was self-evident. Although many spiritual material mines were extremely valuable, none of them could compare to a yuan stone mine. After all, to a cultivator, yuan stones were the most fundamental thing.
This Profound Ice Secret Realm had such a high concentration of yuan energy that it could even produce existences like the Profound Ice Demons. There must be an unimaginably large ice yuan stone mine, or even more than one. If there was one in the depths of this ice cave, then it would be a huge fortune.
"Then let's hurry down and take a look. The concentration of yuan energy here is extremely high. Who knows, there might be a natural treasure that can save Chenxi. Even if there isn't, if we can obtain a large amount of yuan stones, we can find a chance to buy them when we get out!" Chen Xiaohan said joyfully.
"Yes!" Lu Xuan nodded his head heavily, "Follow behind me. If I'm not wrong, there are many Profound Ice Demons in this ice cave."
If their guesses were correct, then this ice cave might be a huge nest of the Profound Ice Demons. Moreover, the deeper they went, the stronger the Profound Ice Demons would be.
After handing the sunlight stone to Chen Xiaohan, Lu Xuan walked in front and began to advance cautiously. Soon, Lu Xuan's arrival alarmed another wave of Profound Ice Demons.
However, this wave of Profound Ice Demons was even weaker than the previous ones. There wasn't even a Spirit Refinement Realm Profound Ice Demon. The reason why there were Spirit Refinement Realm Profound Ice Demons was because they went out to observe the situation. After all, the Profound Ice Cold Current was quite powerful.
A few Mystical Ice Demons at the Body Tempering Stage were nothing to Lu Xuan. He easily killed them. However, he did not gain anything from them. Lu Xuan was no longer interested in the Yuan Energy emitted by these Mystical Ice Demons.
"No wonder Luo Ning was able to enter a certain distance with his strength. The Profound Ice Demons at the entrance of this cave are really weak." Lu Xuan thought to himself. However, he didn't dare to let his guard down. After all, this was an unknown place.
As they advanced, when Lu Xuan killed the fourth wave of Profound Ice Demons, Chen Xiaohan shouted again.
"Lu Xuan, look at the ice wall in front of you. There's a small hole. There seems to be a Yuan Stone inside!"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan shifted his gaze over. Indeed, there was a small hole in the ice wall in front of him. It looked like a storage compartment.
Quickly walking over, Lu Xuan's face flashed with joy, "It really is a Yuan Stone! However, it's just a few high-grade Yuan Stones. Their value isn't too high. "
"At least it proves our guess. There must be even better ones inside. Luo Ning was able to get four top-grade Yuan Stones. Our harvest definitely won't be lower than his." Chen Xiaohan said excitedly. A few high-grade Yuan Stones weren't much, but this meant that there would definitely be better ones inside.
"Hmm, these high-grade Yuan Stones are probably for the Body Refinement Realm Profound Ice Demons to cultivate. The Spirit Refinement Realm Profound Ice Demons probably use top-grade Yuan Stones."
After discovering the Yuan Stones, Lu Xuan's fighting spirit was undoubtedly higher. Thinking about how he would be able to obtain a lot of Yuan Stones later, and it was very likely to be top-grade Yuan Stones, anyone would be excited. One top-grade Yuan Stone was enough to enter the Profound Ice Pavilion. If he could obtain a large amount of top-grade Yuan Stones, he might be able to obtain first place in the Profound Ice Secret Realm and obtain the status of a direct disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion!
The difference between a core disciple of the Wind Sword School and a direct disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion was like heaven and earth.
After killing another wave of Profound Ice Demons, Lu Xuan obtained a few more high-grade Yuan Stones. Although a high-grade Yuan Stone couldn't compare to a top-grade Yuan Stone, a high-grade Yuan Stone was still equivalent to a hundred mid-grade Yuan Stones. In the past, to Lu Xuan, a few hundred mid-grade Yuan Stones was not a small amount. But now, it was so easy to obtain.
The Profound Ice Pavilion was right. In this Profound Ice Secret Realm, there were countless riches. As long as one had the opportunity, it was possible to obtain a large amount of wealth. The first Pavilion Master of the Profound Ice Pavilion was able to successfully establish the Profound Ice Pavilion because he obtained a large amount of wealth in the Profound Ice Secret Realm.
And now, this ice cave was undoubtedly an opportunity that belonged to Lu Xuan!
If one wanted to discover this ice cave and obtain the benefits, the right time, the right place, and the right people were all necessary. In the Profound Ice Secret Realm, there were frequent eruptions of Profound Ice Cold Currents. It was hard to say when the entrance of the cave would be frozen. For people like Han Feng and the others, even if they walked to the entrance of the ice cave, they would be blocked by the Profound Ice Cold Currents and would not have a chance to enter.
And although Luo Ning had this opportunity and could be considered to have obtained the right time and the right place, his strength was not enough. He only obtained a few top-grade Yuan Stones and was chased by the Profound Ice Demons. He even had a narrow escape. This was because he lacked the right people.
After walking for so long, Lu Xuan also discovered that there were no other dangers in this ice cave. As long as one had the strength, one could keep moving forward and continuously kill Profound Ice Demons.
In this way, he could relax a lot. At least he didn't have to worry about any unknown dangers. He also didn't have to worry about Chen Xiaohan and Xia Chenxi. As long as Chen Xiaohan followed behind him, there wouldn't be any danger.
After killing five batches of Profound Ice Demons in the Refinement Stage, Lu Xuan finally encountered Profound Ice Demons in the Spirit Refinement Stage. The concentration of Yuan Qi here was much higher than at the entrance of the cave. These Profound Ice Demons were only at the first or second level of the Spirit Refinement Stage. Without much effort, Lu Xuan killed them.
This time, not only did he obtain a few Ice Souls, what made Lu Xuan even happier was that he finally found top-grade Yuan Stones! And there were three of them!
The three top-grade Yuan Stones obtained from the Profound Ice Secret Realm were enough for Lu Xuan, Chen Xiaohan, and Xia Chenxi to enter the Profound Ice Pavilion. Lu Xuan couldn't help but be excited.
Luo Ning must have snatched the top grade primal stones from these Spirit Refinement realm Profound Ice Demons. However, he didn't have the strength to kill these Profound Ice Demons, so he was chased by a group of Profound Ice Demons when he snatched the primal stones.
But Lu Xuan wasn't worried. He completely had the strength to kill a Profound Ice Demon in the Mid Stage of the Spirit Refinement Stage. Not only did he safely obtain three top-grade Yuan Stones, he also had the ability to continue moving forward. There was a possibility that he could obtain even more top-grade Yuan Stones.
"Lu Xuan, I've been paying attention to this ice cave just now. I've noticed that the terrain of this ice cave is continuously descending. In other words, we're continuously heading downwards. The speculation about the primordial stone mine is most likely true!" Chen Xiaohan said with certainty.
