"Senior," the youth lowered his voice and said to Ye Fan, "there is one thing I must remind you of. You must be careful of those two." The youth said, glancing at the ice house vigilantly.
"Which two?" Ye Fan calmly asked.
"That Daoist and that rich merchant," the youth lowered his voice and whispered to Ye Fan, "those two are not good people."
"What happened?" Ye Fan asked again.
"Senior, you don't need to ask, just be careful," the youth said, cupping his hands and bowing to Ye Fan, "I will now accompany Uncle Saketu to find the ice snake. Senior, take care of yourself. I hope you can find the Soul Returning Immortal Grass soon."
Although the young man was young, he was well-educated and well-mannered, exuding a sense of experience.
Ye Fan nodded. To be honest, this youth's personality was very similar to his temperament. He was young and polite. What was even more precious was that he didn't do his own things and instead helped people unrelated to him to find the ice snake. He even reminded him to be careful of bad people.
This kind of heart was very rare.
"I also hope you can find the ice snake soon and see Great Emperor Zhenwu," Ye Fan said to the youth.
The youth smiled and turned around to enter the ice house. Then he walked out with the western man.
After waving goodbye to Ye Fan, the two continued to head north and soon disappeared into the wind and snow.
At this time, the sky was beginning to brighten. Ye Fan was eager to find the grass and once again soared into the sky.
Yesterday, he had already searched through all the crevices in the ice within a radius of two hundred miles. Today, he began to search all the ice mountains within a radius of two hundred miles.
First, he flew to the peak of the ice mountain. Then, he used his spiritual energy to search the entire ice mountain inch by inch.
The surging spiritual energy surged down the ice mountain and crazily drilled into every crevice, searching for the legendary Soul Returning Immortal Grass.
When Ye Fan returned to the sky above the ice house, the sky had already turned completely dark. He had not stopped for the entire day, frantically searching through all the glaciers and icebergs within a radius of five hundred miles. In the end, he still found nothing.
If he couldn't find it today, he would look for it tomorrow. He could search 250 kilometers in a day. Even if this Northernmost Glacier had a radius of 10,000 kilometers, he could finish searching in 20 days at most!
Ye Fan encouraged himself.
However, just as he was about to descend and return to the ice, the conversation in the ice house caught his attention.
It was a conversation between the goateed Taoist priest and the rich merchant.
"What about Saketu and that child?" The goateed Taoist priest sounded exasperated.
"He's gone. What's wrong?" It was the voice of the rich merchant.
"Gone? When did you leave? "the goateed Taoist asked.
"This morning. What's wrong?" the merchant asked.
"This is bad."
"What happened?"
"Now I know why that child doesn't eat," said the Taoist with the goatee.
"What's the matter?" The merchant did not know why the goatee suddenly mentioned this.
"This child must have taken the Non-Disease-Grass. That's why he can maintain his physical strength without eating," said the goateed Taoist priest.
"Non-Disease-Grass?" The merchant's voice was a little surprised.
"This Non-Disease-Grass is one of the six immortal herbs. Although it can't bring people back to life like the Soul Returning Immortal Grass, if a person takes it, all diseases will disappear and they will become young again. Even if they don't drink or eat, they will still be like a normal person," the goatee said with annoyance. "I said this kid is so young but so experienced. After all this time, he's not a child at all. Maybe he's even older than you and me added together!"
"All diseases will disappear? Become young again? Cough … cough … cough … "The merchant's voice was a little excited and he coughed again. These two words were too tempting for him.
"I've counted your lifespan. You won't live more than ten days," the goatee said to the merchant in a low voice. "After ten days, I'm afraid you'll go see the King of Hell."
"Taoist priest, cough … cough … cough … Taoist priest, save me, cough cough …" The merchant's voice began to sound like he was about to cry. "A group of more than a hundred of us traveled thousands of miles to come here. Now, only you and I are left. Taoist priest, please think of a way to save me. Boohoo …"
The merchant began to cry as he said this.
"Don't cry. Let me ask you, do you want to live or die?" the goatee asked the merchant.
"I want to live," the merchant said with a sobbing voice.
"If you want to live, then listen to me," the goatee said darkly.
"Taoist priest, do you have any good ideas?" After hearing the goatee's words, a glimmer of hope rose in the merchant's heart. "That Sacetu suffers from the fire's backlash every noon. He needs to rest for at least four hours to recover his strength. He can't go far," the goatee said to the merchant. "If we hurry through the night, we can catch up to them in less than a day."
"Catch up to them?" the merchant asked in confusion. "What for?"
"Kill them," the goatee said fiercely.
"Kill … kill him … them …" the merchant's voice began to stutter.
"Since that brat took the Feidless Grass, we'll use his flesh to save your life." The goatee's voice began to sound murderous. "That Sacetu doesn't have the fortune to enjoy the Fire Pill. He might as well help me."
"Use his blood … flesh to save … save me …" the merchant stuttered. "How … save …"
"It's very simple," the goatee put his face in front of the merchant and said word by word, "Eat him."
"Eat him … ugh …" The merchant was stunned when he heard the goatee's words. Then, he immediately retched.
"Hehehe …" the goatee laughed strangely. "Don't you like to eat raw seafood? Human flesh tastes much better than that, hehehe …"
Ye Fan, who was in mid-air, frowned. It seemed that the young man was right. These two people were really not good people.
"After I take the Fire Pill and my power increases, I'll come back to find that white-haired brat. I'll take the Fire Sword from his hand and suck his spiritual energy dry. Hehehe," the goatee laughed. "At that time, my cultivation will be heaven-defying and I'll have a Heavenly Weapon in hand. Then, I'll become your …"
At this point, the goatee stopped abruptly.
"Become me?" the merchant asked cautiously. "Become my what?"
"Then … then I'll take you back." The goatee's expression changed and he explained.
"You … cough cough … you're talking nonsense!" The merchant saw through the goatee's sinister intentions. He coughed and said loudly, "You … you're not trying to save me … cough cough cough … you want to change into my appearance and go … go back …"
The merchant was so angry that he started to gasp for breath.
