Chapter 43 Ice Phoenix And Ghost Qi

Chu Jun did not know how high the Light Shadow Woman's cultivation was, but that night, he had personally witnessed her defending against heavenly lightning with her own hands. Since she said that the sword at the bottom of the pool had some origin, it could be seen that this sword was definitely not simple. Since she had encountered it, she could not miss it. The ice and snow woman caught a toad, but she didn't know that there was an even more powerful treasure at the bottom of the pond. In the end, she had earned it herself.

Chu Jun silently circulated the Blazing Sun Art, and when his entire body was boiling with heat, he plunged into the cold pond.

Hiss! The strange cold corroded the bones. Although it was protected by the Blazing Sun Art, Chu Jun still shivered instantly. The icy coldness invaded his internal organs without any holes. Chu Jun gritted his teeth and swam towards the bottom of the pond. As the depth increased, the temperature of the water dropped rapidly, and he felt as if his blood was about to solidify.

Sure enough, there was a long sword in the middle of the pond. Most of the sword's body was stabbed into the rock, revealing only a crystal-like transparent sword hilt. Chu Jun held the sword hilt with both of his hands, wanting to use his strength to pull it up, but unfortunately, he was unable to shake it in the slightest. At this moment, Chu Jun was so cold that he couldn't stand it anymore. If he continued to delay, he swore that he would be buried at the bottom of this cold pond.

"Get up!" Chu Jun shouted in his heart. The crescent moon divine power under his feet activated, and he abruptly kicked the bottom of the pond, causing the sword sand to move. Chu Jun was overjoyed. With his continuous actions, he pulled out his sword inch by inch.

Huala! Chu Jun flew out of the pond and fell to the edge of the pond. His body was instantly covered in frost. The lake gradually regained its calm. Chu Jun lay motionlessly on the ground. The ice on his body became thicker and thicker, and in the end, it turned into an ice sculpture.

Peng! The ice fragments flew away, and Chu Jun broke through the ice and took in a few mouthfuls of air, causing his shivering body to be wrapped in wisps of cold mist. Chu Jun struggled to sit up and quietly activated the Blazing Sun Art. His cold purple skin gradually regained its color, and his clothes gushed with water vapor.

Half an hour later, Chu Jun pushed out the cold energy that had invaded his body and regained his senses. Chu Jun opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. Recalling the situation just now, he still had lingering fear in his heart. It turned out that Chu Jun had almost pulled out his sword. Suddenly, an extremely frightening cold aura came from the hilt of the sword and instantly invaded Chu Jun's body. If it wasn't for Chu Jun's quick reaction and forcefully kicking out of the bottom of the pond before his body lost control, he would probably be a corpse in the pond by now.

That sword was almost pulled out. Chu Jun was unwilling to give up like this, so he decided to fight again. Chu Jun circulated the Blazing Sun Art several times again, causing his body to warm up and jump out of the pond.

After a few breaths of time, Chu Jun leapt out of the pond. He held a transparent sword in his hand that was filled with cold energy. It was like a bolt of cold lightning piercing through the horizon. The sharp cold sword energy sliced a nearby rock in half. Chu Jun's body was covered with a layer of ice, and he instantly froze in place.

Buzz! The long sword broke free from Chu Jun's hand and circled around the stiff Chu Jun as if it was alive. Suddenly, a terrifying sword qi erupted and slashed towards Chu Jun. Without a doubt, if Chu Jun was struck by the sword qi, he would immediately split into two halves.

Right at this moment, a beam of light surged out from between Chu Jun 's eyebrows, instantly dispelling the incomparably sharp sword qi. The Ice Crystal Sword let out an unwilling buzzing sound. With a swing of its tip, it broke through the air. It was too late, but it was too fast. A string of light quickly chased after him and immediately wrapped around the ice crystal sword's blade.

The ice crystal sword buzzed as it struggled to escape. The terrifying sword qi on its body erupted one after another, and the surrounding rocks and ice were cut into pieces. However, the soft thread-like ribbon of light was incomparably tough. No matter how hard the ice crystal sword struggled, it was still firmly entangled.

The Ice Crystal Sword fiercely earned several cups of tea, and finally gradually calmed down, as if it had already admitted defeat. The silk ribbon dragged the ice crystal sword back to Chu Jun 's side and released it. The sword stabbed into the snow beneath his feet, causing the sword hilt to buzz.

After an unknown amount of time, the ice on Chu Jun 's body melted and his hands and feet regained their senses. Only then did he stoop and pull out the ice crystal sword on the ground.

This sword was completely translucent and sparkling, as if it was made of crystal. Its body was slender and narrow, which was suitable for a woman to use. On one side of the sword hilt was engraved a lifelike phoenix, while on the other side was engraved the word "Ice Phoenix".

Ice Phoenix Sword?

Chu Jun glanced at the messy surroundings and couldn't help but be speechless. If it weren't for the light and shadow woman, how many of them wouldn't have died? What exactly was the origin of this "Ice Phoenix"? Judging from the performance of this sword just now, it was clear that it had already produced spirituality. This was at least a fourth-grade magic treasure.

When Chu Jun thought that the sword in front of him was a grade four or above magic treasure, his heart jumped with excitement. Since the Ancient Fallen Immortal Age, not only was the population of the Ancient Plain Continent sparse, cultivation techniques withered, and no one was able to refine magic treasures above the third grade, let alone a fourth grade magic treasure. If this thing were to appear in this world, it would probably attract a bloody snatch.

Chu Jun played with the Ice Phoenix for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Unfortunately, it was an ice-type magic treasure that was not suitable for him to use.

Chu Jun stretched out his divine sense in an attempt to communicate with the Ice Phoenix, but the sword didn't even care about him. Perhaps it was because he felt that Chu Jun wasn't strong enough, or perhaps it was because his spiritual energy attributes weren't connected. Chu Jun was unwilling to accept it. He tried a few more times before the sword let out a buzzing sound and disappeared. Chu Jun looked inside and discovered that the Ice Phoenix had actually hid in his sea of consciousness. No matter how he summoned it, he ignored it.

Chu Jun smiled bitterly. It seemed that with his current cultivation, it was impossible for him to point at it. However, it didn't escape. It wouldn't be too late for him to wait for his cultivation to increase in the future before using it. Chu Jun wiped away the traces around him before releasing his flying mount to descend the mountain.

Not long after Chu Jun left, the atmosphere on the summit of Old Snow Peak suddenly became strange and gloomy. Even the air seemed to be covered with a layer of darkness. A shadow slowly dissipated from the bottom of the cold pond. Gradually, it formed a scary ghost face. The originally jade-green and clear pond water turned dark black, and strands of ghost energy emerged from the water.

If Chu Jun saw this scene, he would probably regret pulling out the Ice Phoenix Sword!

When Chu Jun returned to the camp, he discovered that everyone was back. Zhao Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Jun return. She stepped forward and said softly, "We're back!"

Zhao Yu's extremely beautiful face was extremely beautiful. Chu Jun turned his gaze away and nodded. "Did you find Lei Yingshi?"

Zhao Yu shook her head disappointedly, "No, look for another day tomorrow. If you can't find it, go back to the mountain!"

"I'll give you a surprise when we get back!" Chu Jun thought to himself.

Lin Ping suddenly walked over and said, "Why don't we go to Burning Heaven City and take a look? I heard that there is a large-scale auction in Burning Heaven City a few days ago. It is very likely that there will be a thunderfluorite auction!"

Hearing this, Ning Yun said happily, "Alright, alright. It's been a long time since I went to Burning Heaven City. I just happened to have a good time!"

Ruan Fang also revealed a happy expression and asked, "Lin Ping, is your information accurate?"

Lin Ping nodded and said, "There is a seventy percent chance. I heard it from a rogue cultivator friend!"

Ruan Fang complained, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have come here to waste my time!"

Zhao Yurou smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, there is still time. Furthermore, the purpose of this trip is not only to find Lei Yingshi, Chu Jun also needs to collect materials for refining swords!"

"If it's for him, I won't come!" Ning Yun curled his lips and said.

Chu Jun said indifferently, "Nobody asked you to come!"

Ning Yun couldn't help but be speechless. He could only harrumph heavily. Chu Jun was too lazy to argue with her. He asked, "Then we will rush to Burning Heaven City tomorrow?"

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "It's getting dark now. It's better to leave safely tomorrow morning!"

Ruan Fang clenched his fists and said confidently, "Junior Sister Yu, if there really is a thunderfluorite auction, no matter how much it costs, I will buy it for you!"

Ruan Fang undoubtedly expressed his admiration for Zhao Yu in disguise. Zhao Yu blushed slightly and shook his head, " Senior Brother Ruan , it's already very helpful for Zhao Yu to help him find Lei Yingshi. How can I let you spend money again?"

Zhao Yu's words were tantamount to tactfully rejecting him, but Ruan Fang did not mind saying, "It's fine, I'm willing to do anything for Junior Sister!" As he spoke, he casually glanced at Chu Jun .

Ning Yun smiled and said, " Senior Brother Ruan , I'm also your junior sister. You can't be biased!"

Ruan Fang smiled generously and said, "If Junior Sister Yun likes anything, Senior Brother will buy it for you!"

"Hehe, that's what you said. At that time, I won't be polite!" Ning Yun said proudly.

Shen Xiaobao interrupted with a frown, " Chu Jun , don't let Senior Brother Ruan defeat you. If there is a need, as long as you plead with me, this Senior Brother will immediately support you!"

Chu Jun said indifferently, "You should forget it!"

"All of you, rest. Let's set off for Burning Heaven City tomorrow!" Zhao Yu said calmly.

Ruan Fang looked at Chu Jun with an imposing expression. He turned around and walked away. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the swollen Hundred Treasures Sack on his waist swayed, as if it was summoning a lot of goods in his stomach. A trace of ridicule flashed through Chu Jun's eyes as he thought to himself, "If I take out the thunderfluorite now, I'll see what kind of arrogance you have!"

Chu Jun was pondering for a moment when he suddenly felt his hand soften. He hurriedly lowered his head and looked over. This little fellow had already stood beside him at some unknown time. His tender white hand was holding onto one of his fingers and looking up at his little face. His pitch-black eyes flashed.

"Fish!" Xiao Xiaoxiao pointed at the bottom of the valley with a greedy expression. The meaning was obvious. He asked Chu Jun to catch fish and roast it.

Chu Jun chuckled as he pinched her cheek and said, "Little Greedy Cat!" As he spoke, he led her to the bottom of the valley.

Shen Xiaobao hurriedly shouted, "Yours Truly too!"

After seven or eight days of recuperation, this guy's injuries weren't serious anymore. At least, he didn't have to jump on one foot to walk.

Ning Yun was crazy. He hurriedly stood up and said, "I want to go too! I want to go too!" Then, he picked up Xiaoxiao and took the lead in running to the bottom of the valley. He didn't care about the little fellow's dissatisfaction at all as he twisted and struggled.

Zhao Yu shook her head helplessly and said to Chu Jun , "Be careful!"
