Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King: Zi Ling (Second Update)

Icebound Forest, at the Foot of the Snow Dragon Spine Mountain.

"After surviving that calamity, aren't you feeling lucky?" Huo Yuhao smiled at the Purple-clad Loli before him, a single ahoge sticking up from her head.

She nodded blankly, then seemed to realize something and suddenly turned around.

When she saw that it was merely a human youth with low cultivation, she immediately relaxed.

Then, two figures descended from the sky.

The Ice and Snow Two Emperors floated in the air behind Huo Yuhao, one to each side.

The Purple-clad Loli's eyes filled with shock. Once she came to her senses, she turned and fled. Yet when she stepped into the air, a Void Array unexpectedly appeared beneath her feet.

A flicker of surprise crossed Huo Yuhao's eyes.

The Ice and Snow Two Emperors behind him exchanged a glance, then immediately joined hands and unleashed their domains at the same time!

The Ice Empress's Eternal Frozen Domain and the Snow Empress's Snow Dance Sun Domain spread simultaneously, merging with each other—

Domain: Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain

Frigid air erupted in an instant, covering an astonishing radius of twenty thousand meters.

In the blink of an eye, everything around them froze.

The Purple-clad Girl who had turned to flee was sealed within massive solid ice, surrounded by countless piercing Ice Prisms as fine snow drifted through the sky.

Her enormous violet eyes were wide open as she stared blankly at the three people beyond the ice.

What was going on? What had she done to make the Ice and Snow Two Emperors join forces to capture her?

And what was with that human youth? He was actually coordinating his actions with the two great rulers of the Far North Land.

At that moment, Tian Meng poked his head out from behind a nearby snowbank, and the snowy landscape around them swiftly twisted.

"Haha, we finally caught her." Tian Meng could not help laughing aloud.

There was another one? I hadn't noticed him before?!

The Purple-clad Girl was stunned.

She possessed a precognitive ability. Whenever danger approached, she would receive an omen beforehand.

She had thought that escaping the Ice and Snow Two Emperors' interception meant she was safe. Who would have expected there to be another trap waiting behind them?

"Little one, did you think hiding your shed skins at the Foot of the Mountain made them safe? Heh." Tian Meng was rather pleased with himself.

"Stop trying. Your other two shed skins are here too. Otherwise, why do you think we came here so coincidentally?" Tian Meng said with a smile.

Though he was poor in actual combat, soul skills such as Mental Detection, Mental Sharing, and simulation were exceptionally powerful and practical.

The frozen Purple-clad Girl felt like crying without tears. Was this really fair?

Huo Yuhao approached her together with the Ice and Snow Two Emperors.

"Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King?" Huo Yuhao examined the Purple-clad Loli sealed in the ice.

Had she taken human form?

That was normal enough. After all, the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well gained the ability to take human form after cultivating for ten thousand years.

A ten-thousand-year cultivation comparable to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was enough to demonstrate her quality.

It could be said that she was the most outrageously effective great medicine of this age. Calling her a "divine medicine" would not be an exaggeration.

Huo Yuhao then looked at the Snow Empress. "Can you remove the ice sealing her head? I have some questions for her."

The Snow Empress nodded. With a wave of her sleeve, the wind and snow dissipated.

"Spare me, great lords!" The Purple-clad Loli had barely regained the ability to speak before she wailed and begged for mercy, tears streaming down her face.

Judging from her posture, if her body had not been frozen, she would probably have thrown herself flat on the ground.

"Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"Big brother, can you let me go?" The Purple-clad Loli put on a pitiful expression, the sort that would cry for ages if punched once.

Huo Yuhao steadied his mind and tapped his brow with a finger.

"I can block all charm effects on my own. Put away that affected act, answer my questions, and stop spouting nonsense."

The Purple-clad Girl reined herself in somewhat and looked at Huo Yuhao uneasily.

"Ask away."

A cold gleam flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"I... I'm the 'Ninth Grade Ginseng King' you mentioned." The Purple-clad Girl trembled. "I named myself Zi Ling."

"Do you recognize this?" Huo Yuhao took a large chrysanthemum from the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch. It was a gorgeous shade of violet.

The entire chrysanthemum seemed to form a single whole. Its central stamen rose more than half a foot above the petals, its tip shining with a faint golden light. Not a trace of fragrance escaped from it.

"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?" Zi Ling's pupils filled with shock upon seeing the immortal herb.

It was a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure comparable to herself, yet it had been plucked by someone before it gained intelligence. That only made her more afraid.

Huo Yuhao displayed two more immortal herbs in succession, and Zi Ling identified each one.

Her gaze was vacant now, unable to believe any of this.

So many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had all been ruined by him alone. In essence, they were all her kind.

He had come specifically for immortal herbs and divine medicines. Now that she had fallen into his hands, how could she possibly survive? Her ten thousand years of hiding and cultivation had been wasted in a single day.

Very good. She really did recognize quite a few immortal herbs.

Huo Yuhao put all the immortal herbs back into the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch.

"Look at her and see if you can tell anything," Huo Yuhao said, glancing toward the Snow Empress beside him.

Zi Ling immediately fixed her gaze on the Snow Empress.

"A trace of Heavenly Tribulation aura lingers around her and refuses to disperse. Did she just undergo a Heavenly Tribulation?" Zi Ling asked.

"Go on," Huo Yuhao said.

Zi Ling frowned slightly. "The residual power of that Heavenly Tribulation has lingered for too long. If it isn't removed in time, it may affect her next tribulation."

Upon hearing this, the Ice and Snow Two Emperors exchanged looks.

"How can she be cured?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"I know this. There is a Soul Beast Forest in the Southern Continent. In the Core Area of the forest is a Water Marsh Lake, and hidden at the bottom lies a piece of Life Gold. It can heal her internal injuries," Zi Ling said.

The Ice Empress and Snow Empress looked at each other.

Huo Yuhao could not help shaking his head.

"If you don't believe me, I can personally take you there," Zi Ling added.

Hearing that, Tian Meng found the phrasing strangely familiar.

Wasn't this the same "killing with a borrowed knife" trick he had used before?

He secretly glanced at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao raised a hand and knocked her on the head. "The Star Dou Great Forest, right?"

"How did you know?" Zi Ling asked in surprise.

"Looks like you went to steal that piece of Life Gold from the bottom of that lake back then, only to be chased down by two fellows, didn't you?" Huo Yuhao chuckled.

"You know them?" Zi Ling was shocked.

Two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts lived deep within that forest, and they had inflicted no small amount of harm on her back then.

She had wanted to lure the Ice and Snow Two Emperors there and use them to kill those two. Even if she could not obtain the Life Gold, she could at least save her own life.

Huo Yuhao raised his hand and planted another hard knock on Zi Ling's head.

Always coming up with Ghost ideas.

The piece of Life Gold buried beneath Star Lake could not be touched.

Whether for Di Tian or the Star Dou Great Forest, that thing was an immensely important treasure.

He wished Di Tian and those Ferocious Beasts would sleep peacefully. Why would he go rob someone at their doorstep at a time like this?

The current Huo Yuhao did not want to see that "old acquaintance."

Zi Ling took another blow. She bit her lip in pain, tears filling her eyes, yet she did not dare make a sound.

"Besides that, is there any other way?" Huo Yuhao asked.
