Chapter 581: Darkness and lightness(1/3)
After bidding farewell to Zhang Mengde, Zhou Chun immediately began to investigate the intelligence information of Feixue Palace and [Ice Moon Toad].
As Zhang Mengde himself said, regarding the monster beast [Ice Moon Toad], it is indeed quite famous in Frozen Yi Kingdom. Many monks who are familiar with Feixue Palace have heard of the name of this monster beast.
But this is not a good thing!
According to the information Zhou Chun found out, [Ice Moon Toad] is extremely important to the monks of Feixue Palace. The toad venom, blood and other substances it produces are essential materials for Feixue Palace to refine certain elixirs.
One of the more convincing rumors is that the toad venom of the third-order [Ice Moon Toad] can be used as the main medicine to refine the elixir [Ice Yun Dan] that will help open up the Zi Mansion.
This elixir has the best effect on those monks who practice ice attribute skills. It is not much worse than the general elixir [Purple Dust elixir], and it can also be mixed with other auxiliary spiritual objects to open up the Purple Mansion.
The shop opened by Feixue Palace releases a [Bing Yun Dan] every year for people to bid for, and sometimes multiple such elixirs appear at auctions.
Even some other sects in the Frozen End Kingdom would purchase this kind of elixir in bulk from Feixue Palace.
And Feixue Palace, relying on the advantage of mass-producing this kind of elixir, has also become the force with the most Purple Mansion Stage monks and Golden Pill Stage monks in Frozen End Kingdom!
It is said that there are now more than 400 monks in the Zifu period alone, and every year at least one Feixue Palace foundation-building monk successfully opens up the Zifu.
At the same time, relying on this huge base of Zifu-stage monks, the number of Jindan-stage monks in Feixue Palace has also increased greatly. Now there are nearly 30 Jindan-stage monks alone, which is more than the largest sect in Jingguo.
Reincarnation is no less impressive!
But Feixue Palace is not the largest force in Frozen End Country!
In addition, the toad venom of [Ice Moon Toad] can not only be used to refine [Ice Yun Dan], but can also be used as a material to refine some other very effective elixirs. Its demon elixir is the best way to refine some barrier-breaking elixirs.
Excellent material.
There are even rumors that the toad venom on the fourth-level [Ice Moon Toad] has the effect of replacing [Ultra Cold Ice Marrow Liquid]!
Since [Ice Moon Toad] has such a great use, we can see how much Feixue Palace values this monster.
To put it bluntly, the importance of a Zifu Stage cultivator in Feixue Palace is not as important as a third-order [Ice Moon Toad].
In order to prevent the [Ice Moon Toad] from being acquired by others and to protect the population of this monster beast, Feixue Palace does not even allow its disciples to contract this monster beast, and only completely raises its population in the mountain gate in a free-range manner.
Ordinary monks from the Purple Palace of Feixue Palace have no chance to come into contact with these monsters!
Zhou Chun also inquired about a piece of news that was not known to be true or false, saying that after practicing every day, the Yuan Ying stage masters of Feixue Palace would scan the Snow Mountain Tianchi with their spiritual consciousness to count the number of the [Ice Moon Toad] tribe!
It is precisely through these methods of strict control and defense that even though many major sects in the Frozen End Kingdom are coveting the effects of the [Ice Moon Toad] and want to obtain it, no one has ever succeeded so far.
After understanding this clearly, Zhou Chun's joy completely dissipated.
According to his own estimation, if he wants to successfully cultivate the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad Chapter", he must either obtain the spiritual blood of the pure [Taiyin Moon Toad], or obtain a large number of four people with the bloodline of [Taiyin Moon Toad].
The natal essence and blood of the monster beast.
If it was the latter, he would either kill a fourth-level monster and extract all of its life essence and blood, or capture a fourth-level monster and take it with him, extracting part of its life essence and blood every once in a while.
No matter which method is used, it means that he must take away a fourth-level [Ice Moon Toad]!
However, the number of the fourth-level [Ice Moon Toad] is so rare. Feixue Palace has accumulated thousands of years to cultivate less than a palm-sized number. The value of each one is immeasurable!
If Zhou Chun dares to touch the fourth-level [Ice Moon Toad] in Feixue Palace, it is estimated that the Yuanying stage masters in Feixue Palace will personally go out to hunt him down.
What's more, it is simply unrealistic to kill or capture such a fourth-level monster inside the mountain gate of Feixue Palace.
So this information that seems easy to get seems to be the most difficult thing to do!
Just because it's difficult doesn't mean it can't be done.
For Zhou Chun, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will try his best to fight for it.
However, he will not put all his hopes on [Ice Moon Toad]. The original plan of collecting intelligence through the monks of Frozen End Kingdom will still continue.
But before everything can be put into action, Zhou Chun has one more thing to do, and that is to first try to get some of the spiritual blood of [Ice Moon Toad].
It doesn’t have to be the spiritual blood of the fourth level [Ice Moon Toad], even the third level is fine.
He only needs to use this to determine whether the [Ice Moon Toad] really has the bloodline of the [Taiyin Moon Toad].
Compared to directly obtaining an [Ice Moon Toad] corpse, or a living [Ice Moon Toad], although this matter is also difficult, it is not particularly difficult.
After all, Feixue Palace itself often uses the spiritual blood of [Ice Moon Toad] to make elixirs and use it as medicine. As long as the amount Zhou Chun needs is not too large, the relevant handlers still have room to operate and can bring out some privately.
It took Zhou Chun about half a year to successfully obtain a bottle of third-level [Ice Moon Toad] spiritual blood from a cultivator in the Purple Palace of Feixue Palace through the help of an intermediary.
And just for such a bottle of third-level monster spirit blood, the price he paid was as high as 30,000 spiritual coins, which was enough to buy an ordinary third-level low-grade magic weapon!
There was no way, things were rare and valuable, so even if Zhou Chun knew that he had been taken advantage of, he could only hold his nose and admit it.
After obtaining the spiritual blood, he immediately purified the bottle of spiritual blood according to the method recorded in "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad Chapter", and then used it as a medium to practice this mysterious magical power.
What makes Zhou Chun happy is that the effects of this training can indeed be felt, proving that [Ice Moon Toad] indeed has the bloodline of [Taiyin Moon Toad].
Unfortunately, the spiritual blood of the third-level [Ice Moon Toad] is extremely ineffective in practicing the secret arts of "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad", and it is impossible to complete the introduction to the secret arts with this.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It seems that everything is as he thought. Unless he kills or captures a fourth-level [Ice Moon Toad], there is no way to practice this matter.
Talk about.
In this case, he really needs to plan carefully!
Immediately, Zhou Chun settled down in the Frozen Yi Kingdom, and then in the name of traveling and making friends, he often visited the Golden Core monks from various factions in the Frozen Yi Kingdom to inquire about the bloodline of the [Taiyin Moon Toad] demon beast. Naturally,
He voluntarily abandoned the option of [Ice Moon Toad].
In an icy and snowy environment like Frozen Yi Country, toad monsters are very rare. If there are traces of other toad monsters in the wild, Zhou Chun can easily get the news from people who know about it by offering a high reward.
In the past two years, although Zhou Chun also received news about another third-level toad-like monster with ice attributes, when he went to find that ice toad according to the news, he did not find that it possessed the [Lunar Moon]
Toad] bloodline, I just got the corpse of a third-level low-grade monster and the demon elixir.
Naturally, Zhou Chun has been collecting information about the Ice Moon Toad, both covertly and covertly.
But just as he was worried at the beginning, since even other forces in the Frozen End Kingdom are coveting the effects of the [Ice Moon Toad], but have never been able to obtain this monster, we can see how difficult it is to obtain it!
During Zhou Chun's two years of research, he came across many cases of failed attempts to steal the [Ice Moon Toad].
There was even a time when a powerful force in the Frozen End Nation spent hundreds of years supporting a foundation-building monk to successfully form a pill by placing undercover agents, hoping that he could steal the [Ice Moon Toad].
But the golden elixir stage monk still failed in the end!
As soon as he brought a pair of male and female third-level [Ice Moon Toad] out of the mountain gate of Feixue Palace, he somehow exposed himself and was captured on the spot by the Nascent Soul stage monks from Feixue Palace!
In the history of Feixue Palace, such failed attempts to steal the [Ice Moon Toad] were not uncommon.
But so far I haven’t heard of anyone actually succeeding!
In view of this, Zhou Chun no longer dared to hold out any hope for taking away [Ice Moon Toad] from Feixue Palace.
For him, the cultivation of "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad" is important, but it is not to the point where he needs to risk his life.
Even if he fails to practice in the golden elixir stage, he will most likely have to wait until he has a baby before practicing again.
I believe that if he successfully conceives a baby, as long as he is willing to pay a sufficient price, he can take away a dead fourth-level [Ice Moon Toad] from Feixue Palace, or let Feixue Palace provide him with a fourth-level [Ice Moon Toad] for a long time.
The natal essence and blood should still be able to do it.
Therefore, after carefully weighing the difficulty of obtaining the fourth-level [Ice Moon Toad], Zhou Chun began to give up. If he was not ready, he would put this matter aside for now and go back to practice hard.
But just when he was about to return home and start purchasing some special products of the Frozen Yi Kingdom to bring back to Jingguo, he suddenly received another clue.
The person who provided him with clues this time was a late-stage cultivator from the Purple Mansion. According to what he said, he had heard the sound of toads in an ice lake deep in the ice fields northeast of Frozen Yi Country, and confirmed that at least
It’s the cry of a fourth-level monster!
"The junior dare not deceive the senior. At that time, the person who heard the thundering sound of the toad was not only the junior, but also several fellow Taoists who were traveling with the junior. One of the fellow Taoists cultivated a third-level low-grade monster, the Ice Wind Python.
After hearing the cry of the toad, they were instantly frightened and frantically warned it!"
"Senior, if you don't believe it, I can call those fellow Taoists to testify!"
In a teahouse, Zhou Chun was sitting on a stool quietly sipping tea. Next to him, a rough-looking man in white robe lowered his head and bent over, telling him the information he knew in a cautious manner.
According to what the white-robed man himself said, he was originally a casual cultivator from outside the Frozen Yi Kingdom. He had been in the Frozen Yi Kingdom for hundreds of years because he practiced ice-attribute skills. He would usually invite some people every once in a while.
The familiar Zifuqi monks ventured deep into the ice field to hunt for treasure.
There are uninhabited ice fields to the east and north of the Frozen Yi Kingdom, where living things are rare. However, in some places, spiritual veins and spiritual lands can be generated, and ice-attributed spiritual treasures can be produced.
Many monks from the Frozen End Kingdom will go there to look for these spiritual treasures.
The third-level ice toad that Zhou Chun killed before was also a special creature on the ice field.
So after listening to the detailed description of the big man in white robe, he pondered for a moment, then looked at the man and said: "I will believe you for once. It's just that it's not easy to identify the direction on the ice sheet, and large-scale snowstorms often break out.
, if you want to get the reward, you must lead the way for me!"
The blizzards on the ice sheet can be big or small, and the big ones can sweep across thousands of miles. The howling wind can suppress the foundation-building monks from flying. Even if the golden elixir stage monks can fly in it, the mana consumption will be doubled several times.
And the speed is extremely slow.
At the same time, it is more likely to get lost and directly deviate from the destination by thousands or even thousands of miles.
There are not many reliable reference objects on the ice sheet, and the terrain is easily changed by snowstorms. Even if you have a so-called map in hand and can identify the direction, it is extremely difficult to find your goal after getting lost.
And once you get lost, it is easy to stray into certain dangerous situations and monster lairs due to unfamiliarity with the environment.
Therefore, if you want to search for something deep in the ice field, you usually have to find monks who are familiar with the journey to lead you.
But before the big man in white robe came to see him, he already knew that he was not a native monk of Frozen Yi Country. This made him dare to follow a middle-stage Golden Core monk like him deep into the ice field.
