He had already obtained the You Bing Grass, so the Ice Crystal Flower should be in front. Xiao Chen carried Bai in his embrace. He was almost at the location of the Ice Crystal Flower, so he could not let it run around blindly.
After a while, Xiao Chen walked out of the dense forest. He took out the map and looked at it. According to the markings on the map, the Ice Crystal Flower grew on a cliff in front of him.
Due to the protection of the Rank 5 Spirit Beast, the Ice Ape, a regular outer disciple would not dare to come and snatch it even though they knew there was a Rank 6 herb here.
The instant he walked out of the forest, the sunlight shone on Xiao Chen's body once again. When he looked up, he could already vaguely make out a tall cliff. This was the border of Evil Wind Valley.
Xiao Chen patted Bai's head. Under its unwilling gaze, he placed it into the Spirit Blood Jade.
He extended his Spiritual Sense forward, but he did not see the Rank 5 Spirit Beast, the Ice Ape. Instead, he saw a few young Ice Apes. They were only Rank 4, resting in a corner.
"Looks like I made a wasted trip. There are no Rank 5 Spirit Beasts here." Xiao Chen sighed slightly and prepared to leave. However, he changed his mind.
Since he was already here, it would not be too late to take a look at the Ice Crystal Flower. After all, it was a Rank 6 herb. Even if he did not need it, he could still sell it for a good price.
After he thought of this, Xiao Chen quickly ran towards the cliff. Just as he was about to reach it, he heard a startled cry.
Xiao Chen stopped and looked towards the source of the sound. At the bottom of the cliff, there was a tall and sturdy youth. He was holding a huge axe in his hand, blocking the attacks of three Ice Apes.
On the cliff behind him, there was a petite figure carrying a basket on her back. She was nimbly climbing up the cliff.
In a crevice above her head, there was a flower petal that was flickering with a cold light.
Xiao Chen could not help but feel puzzled. He had clearly swept this place with his Divine Sense and did not find any cultivators. How could there be two more people for no reason?
Xiao Chen looked at the two again and was shocked to find that the two of them had not condensed their Martial Souls. They were only at the Soul Refinement Stage and were only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
No wonder he did not notice them earlier. These two people were not martial artists at all. There was no fluctuation of Essence in their bodies, so he directly ignored them.
"Two commoners coming to Chill Wind Valley. If this isn't courting death, then what is?" Xiao Chen said with some blame in his heart. They really didn't take their lives seriously.
The girl on the mountain wall had already climbed to the bottom of the Ice Crystal Flower. She was only one step away from plucking it.
Pu!
However, at this moment, a young Ice Ape broke through the defense of the tall and sturdy youth. With a few leaps, it arrived behind the girl.
"No!" The eyes of the tall and sturdy youth guarding below turned bloodshot as he shouted. He threw the huge axe in his hand at the Ice Ape.
The Ice Ape nimbly dodged the huge axe. It stretched out its huge hand and smashed it at the girl. When the girl turned her head to look, she was frightened pale. She lost her balance and fell down.
Because the tall and sturdy youth no longer had a weapon, he was smashed to the ground by the two Ice Apes. In an instant, his body was covered with bloody wounds; it was a tragic sight.
"Lightning Evasion!"
With a flash of lightning, Xiao Chen instantly arrived beside the youth. The Lunar Shadow Saber glowed with a two-meter saber light. This was the first time Xiao Chen had truly condensed a saber light. This was a Martial Technique that only Martial Grand Masters could use.
"Pu Ci!" The saber light hacked violently at the Ice Ape that was beating up the tall and sturdy youth. With a 'ka ca' sound, the Ice Ape's arm was chopped off.
However, a layer of ice appeared on its body, preventing the saber from penetrating any further.
Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised that he did not manage to chop it in half. The Ice Ape that had its arm chopped off let out a pained wail, just like the perfectly fine Ice Ape beside it.
The Ice Ape gave up on attacking the youth lying on the ground. A ferocious glint appeared in its eyes. The Ice Ape's sharp palm carried a cold wind as it ruthlessly smashed at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen took a step back. A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and gathered on the saber. The Lunar Shadow Saber moved in a purple arc. The arc flickered with electricity.
In an instant, the saber cut open the chests of the two Ice Apes. The electricity shook violently and the two Ice Apes were immediately knocked back.
Xiao Chen did not continue chasing. He looked at the petite girl that had fallen into the air. A silver warship flew out from his eyes and caught the girl in an instant.
The Ice Ape on the mountain wall roared and dived at Xiao Chen. With a 'huang dang' sound, the Lunar Shadow Saber returned to its scabbard.
"Dragon Seizing Hand!"
A huge black hand appeared from nowhere. It carried an unparalleled force and smashed the Ice Ape into the mountain wall with a bang.
"Turning Palm into Fist!"
The huge black hand clenched tightly. It seemed like it had the force of a thousand kilograms as it smashed violently at the Ice Ape on the mountain wall. There was a loud rumbling sound. The mountain wall trembled and many rocks fell off.
A large hole appeared in the mountain wall. The Ice Ape was smashed in violently. Blood leaked out from the corner of its mouth. Unexpectedly, its body was not smashed into mush; it was still in perfect condition.
"It is really hard!" Xiao Chen said indifferently with a frown.
He stabbed the Lunar Shadow Saber into the ground and took out the Soul Slayer Bow and Essence Light Arrow.
There was a graceful flash and a surging aura. It was like a meteor tearing through the night sky. The arrow was as fast as lightning. It struck the Ice Ape that was struggling to climb out with a 'hong' sound.
The Essence Light Arrow pierced through the Ice Ape's neck and pinned it to the ground. With this, the Ice Ape could not be any more dead. The Ice Ape's intelligence was very high. When the other two young Ice Apes saw the situation, they quickly turned and fled.
Xiao Chen glanced at them indifferently and nocked two Essence Light Arrows on his bow. The arrows moved like a beam of light, tearing through the air and arriving in an instant.
They pierced through the chests of the two Ice Apes and left a large hole. Then, they fell to the ground with a loud 'bang'.
"Thank you, benefactor, for saving our lives!" The stout youth on the ground, who was covered in wounds, got up and thanked Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen stood beside him. Xiao Chen was 1.8 meters tall, but he was actually shorter than him by a head.
Looking at his face, he looked very honest. He was also not much older than Xiao Chen. However, Xiao Chen had some misgivings about the two of them entering Evil Wind Valley. Two cultivators who had not even condensed a Martial Spirit, what were they doing here?
Xiao Chen waved his hand and the small silver boat flew over and slowly landed on the ground. The little girl on the boat quickly jumped off.
Xiao Chen looked at the bloody wounds on the youth's body. Although they were not fatal, if they were not treated, he would have to recuperate for a long time.
Xiao Chen took out two Blood Replenishing Pills and handed them to him. He said, "One for external application and one for internal consumption. It can treat your injuries."
The youth shook his head and said, "There is no need. This Medicinal Pill should be very expensive. My minor injuries are not a problem."
However, the little girl behind him received it. She had a gentle and weak look on her face as she said softly, "Benefactor, don't listen to Shao Yang's nonsense. With such severe external injuries, if they are not treated, they will have to recuperate for a long time before they can fully recover."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and entered the silver warship. He did not say anything and left directly. They had met by chance and it was just a small matter. There was no need to be overly stubborn about it.
The youth called Shao Yang wanted to chase after Xiao Chen. However, he was stopped by the girl behind him. "Don't chase. When Xiao Chen returns, it will be troublesome if he cannot find us."
The youth was helpless. He could only watch as Xiao Chen left. The girl crushed the Blood Replenishing Pill and slowly applied it to the wounds of the stout youth.
Not long after Xiao Chen left, a youth in blue quickly arrived before them.
When he saw Shao Yang's injuries, he quickly asked what was going on. After he understood, he immediately chased after Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen felt a figure rushing towards him quickly. The aura of the figure was very dense; he was at least a Superior Grade Martial Grand Master.
Xiao Chen raised his guard and stopped. He slowly turned around. When the youth in blue saw Xiao Chen stop, he quickly went forward and said, "I am Liu Suifeng. I have not asked for your great name yet. You saved my two friends. I will definitely repay this favor in the future."
This youth had regular features and an imposing appearance. He had a righteous expression on his face. His sincere words dispelled Xiao Chen's guard. He smiled faintly and said, "Ye Chen, it was just a small matter. There is no need to pay so much attention to it."
While Xiao Chen was sizing up Liu Suifeng, Liu Suifeng was also carefully observing Xiao Chen.
After a while, Liu Suifeng was astonished. He was merely an Inferior Grade Martial Master, yet he was able to chase away three infant Ice Apes so easily. This person was definitely not simple.
"Brother Ye, are you from the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's outer sect? I don't think I have heard of this name before, "Liu Suifeng asked.
Xiao Chen glanced at Liu Suifeng's waist. He saw the silver identity token and understood. This person was an inner disciple of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. No wonder he asked if he was from the outer sect.
"No, I just came to Saber City not long ago," Xiao Chen felt there was no need to hide anything, so he answered honestly.
After that, the two of them chatted for a while. Xiao Chen finally understood why those two ordinary people wanted to enter Evil Wind Valley. The Ice Crystal Flower bloomed once every three months. If it did not bloom, the three of them would come and pick the petals.
All along, after Liu Suifeng lured away the adult Ice Apes, he would leave the two of them behind to pick the petals. In the past, there were only two infant Ice Apes. Shao Yang was able to last until Liu Suifeng returned. However, he did not know why there were three this time.
Xiao Chen obtained an important piece of information. There really was a Rank 5 Spirit Beast here. Furthermore, Liu Suifeng did not injure him; he only lured him away. He could not help but rejoice.
Before they parted, Liu Suifeng wanted to give Xiao Chen three Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. Originally, he thought Xiao Chen would gladly accept it. Who knew, he would reject it.
To Xiao Chen, this was just a small matter. He could not accept such a huge favor. Furthermore, he wanted to befriend this person. In the future, if he entered the inner sect, he might have to interact with this person.
Seeing that Xiao Chen insisted on not accepting it, Liu Suifeng did not argue. He took his leave and said that if Xiao Chen had any problems in the future, he would do his best to help.
After knowing the information about the Rank 5 Spirit Beast, Xiao Chen was not in a rush to leave. After the three of them picked all the petals of the Ice Crystal Flower, Xiao Chen revealed himself.
Seeing the Ice Ape nailed to the entrance of the cave, Xiao Chen thought for a while. First, he took out the Spirit Cores of the two Ice Apes on the ground and burned them to ashes.
After doing all this, Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and flew to the entrance of the cave on the mountain wall. He carried out the infant Ice Ape's corpse and carefully stuck several Rank 3 lightning-attributed talismans on the back of the corpse.
After that, he jumped into the cave and found a bush. He withdrew his aura and hid.
