Qin Tiexin thought about it for a moment and felt it was feasible.

Body Tempering Ninth Layer has just formed and needs actual combat to stabilize its realm. And the effect of that Blood Bead keeps him thinking about it - if Edgeless absorbs Devil Race The ability to condense Blood Bead after Sha Qi is repeatable, so this will be the most critical resource on his Body Refining road. Being trapped in the pass, he will never be able to verify this conjecture. He nodded in agreement. "Okay."

Early the next morning, he went to the logistics dispatch office.

The deacon in charge of logistics dispatch is a middle-aged Foundation Establishment Middle Stage monk, surnamed Wang. He has been at Wind and Snow Pass for more than ten years and is familiar with all kinds of disciplines. Although he is not a disciple of the Ice and Snow Pavilion, he is considered to be extremely capable to be hired by the Ice and Snow Pavilion to be in charge of this place.

Qin Tiexin handed over his collection application, explaining that he needed to go out to collect several Northern Frontier-specific spiritual materials for use in refining weapons - he reported the names of several ores that did exist and were indeed used for refining weapons, which he learned from the Flowing Cloud Sect's classics and Wind and Snow Pass's market.

Deacon Wang took the application and did not approve it immediately. Instead, he looked at it carefully.

"You are a logistics weapon refiner, why are you out of seclusion?" His tone was calm, but his eyes were full of scrutiny.

Qin Tiexin did not evade, and said truthfully, "There are some ingredients that are only available outside of China. The ones sold in the store are not pure enough. I want to pick some myself. I have already found two fellow guards of the Foundation Establishment Realm, one of whom is Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."

He took out a few pieces of his recent Repair Law Artifact and put them on the table. "This is my repair record for the past three months. Deacon Lin can check it over there."

Deacon Wang picked up the pieces of Law Artifact and looked at them. Repair was really good. Spirit Rune was through and had a flat edge. There were no faults. He looked through Qin Tiexin's mission records for the past three months - more than fifty pieces of repairs per month, no rework records, and a stable accumulation of merits.

He put down the record and pondered for a moment.

The forest to the east of Wind and Snow Pass is indeed rich in products, so it is also the place where battles break out between the human race and Devil Race all year round. It is not uncommon for monks to go out to collect all year round. And the young man in front of him has indeed performed well in his three months of service, rarely Xiu Mu, the mission was completed neatly and neatly, and he didn't look like an unreliable person. Moreover, there were two Foundation Establishment Realm guards, including a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage leader, who were active within fifty miles outside the customs. Under normal circumstances, there would really not be any big problems.

Deacon Wang nodded. "Okay. But there are a few rules you have to remember."

He took out a piece of light yellow talisman paper with the seal of the Ice and Snow Pavilion already stamped on it, and added a few strokes on it with his pen, "This is the 'Collection Pass', which can be used only four times a month. Each time you leave the customs, the scope of activity must not exceed fifty miles outside the gate. You are not allowed to go deep. You must return before sunset. If you encounter an abnormal situation, withdraw immediately and don't be reluctant to fight. If you encounter a danger that cannot be solved, activate this talisman and the human team within ten miles will be able to sense it, but you must also be able to persist until they come."

He paused and added, "This is for your own good. You will know what the scene is fifty miles away. You will know it when you go out."

"Understood." Qin Tiexin took the pass and put it away.

That night, Nangong Yao came again.

As soon as she entered the door, she got straight to the point. "Did you get the pass?"

"Got it."

"That's good." She took out a neatly folded silver-white inner armor from the storage ring. It looked thin and soft, with a silk-like luster on the surface and was slightly cool to the touch. "The cassock I prepared for you before was only half-finished last time before you left for Wind and Snow Pass. This time you are leaving seclusion, and I always feel uneasy - I still remember the scene when the cassock finally broke into pieces when you went to the Primordial Unity Secret Realm."

She stuffed the inner armor into Qin Tiexin's hand. "I came out with this in the past few days. I used a piece of 'Ice Silkworm Silver Silk' that I treasured as the main material. It took three days. Upper-Grade Law Artifact level, for personal protection."

Qin Tiexin took the inner armor, it was slightly cool in his hands, but it was extremely light and soft, and he could hardly feel the weight. He unfolded it and took a look. The inner armor was in the shape of a vest, with fine workmanship, and fine Spirit Rune embroidered with silver thread on the edge, vaguely forming a complete protective array.

"Put it on and try it on." Nangong Yao urged.

Qin Tiexin took off his outer robe and put Ice Silkworm Armor on tightly. The size fit perfectly, protecting the neck, front and back, as if it was tailor-made. It felt slightly cool against the skin, but after the spiritual power was injected, the coolness quickly turned into a gentle warmth, blending with the body temperature.

He moved his shoulders, arms, waist and abdomen. He felt no restraint and could move freely.

"Sister's craftsmanship is very good."

"Of course." Nangong Yao raised his chin proudly, "This Ice Silkworm Armor and Spirit Rune can form a shield with dual attributes of ice and wind after activation, which is very resistant to ice and physical attacks. My estimate is that it can withstand up to three full blows from monk Foundation Establishment Peak Stage, and attacks below Foundation Establishment Middle Stage can basically be ignored."

She pulled out a short knife from her waist and signaled Qin Tiexin to cooperate. "Try it."

Qin Tiexin stood still, injecting spiritual power to activate the protection of his inner armor Spirit Rune. A faint silvery-white luster appeared on his body, as if covered with a thin layer of frost.

Nangong Yao was not polite, injected spiritual power into the short knife, and stabbed him in the chest.

"Ding--!"

With a crisp sound, the short knife stopped on the silver-white glossy surface, and it was difficult to move forward. The guard did not move at all, not even a ripple appeared.

"That's it." Nangong Yao put away the short sword and nodded with satisfaction, "This is the highest grade Law Artifact that I can refine so far. It can be regarded as a 'exit gift' for my junior brother."

Qin Tiexin touched the inner armor on his chest and said solemnly, "Thank you, senior sister."

"Don't do this." Nangong Yao waved his hand, "But there is something that needs to be said upfront - the three chapters of the agreement."

She raised three fingers. "First, after leaving the seclusion, if you encounter a Devil Race who is above the intermediate Demon General level, retreat immediately and don't show off. Second, you are not allowed to act alone. You must be within our sight at all times. Third, all actions are under my command - I am the deputy captain and have more field experience than you."

Qin Tiexin did not refute, and responded seriously, "Okay."

After night fell, Qin Tiexin sat alone in the refining room and took inventory of his equipment.

In the storage ring, fifty newly forged javelins are neatly stacked. With Falling Star Spear Throwing Technique, continuous suppression can be formed within two hundred steps.

Ice Silkworm Armor Wear it close to the body, and you have adapted to the slightly cool feeling. After injecting spiritual power, it can blend with the body temperature.

On the left wrist, the wolf tooth bracelet hangs quietly.

Everything is ready.

Three days later in the early morning, Nangong Yao and Li Yun were already waiting at the east gate of the inner city of Wind and Snow Pass.

Qin Tiexin could see their figures from a distance. The morning light beside the city wall still had a thin layer of frost, and their breath condensed into white mist in the cold air. Nangong Yao was wearing that light blue outfit with a thick outer cover. Wearing a white cloak, with her plain white silk silk and jade bell hanging around her waist, she looks neat and tidy. Li Yun is wearing a long aqua blue skirt, covered with a white fox fur, and Ice Icicle Sword is hanging from her waist, standing there like a cold plum in the snow.

Seeing Qin Tiexin coming, Li Yun smiled slightly.

"Junior Brother Qin, long time no see."

Her voice is still gentle, but it has a clearer texture than when she was in the sect. Qin Tiexin noticed that compared to the Cold Qi overflowing state just Foundation Establishment, Li Yun's current cultivation level has become much more stable. Although her whole body still exudes a cold aura, that aura has been restrained and no longer spreads outwards. Obviously, she has gained a lot from Wind and Snow Pass during this period.

"Senior Sister Li." Qin Tiexin returned the greeting with cupped fists, "Long time no see."

Li Yun took out a sapphire vial from his sleeve and handed it over. "This is a batch of elixirs I refined before, the third grade 'Warm Yang Pill'. After taking it, it can keep Qi and Blood smooth, resist Cold Qi invasion, and will not affect the combat effectiveness due to long-term exposure to the cold. This time, everyone will stay in the wild for a whole day, so it will come in handy."

She didn't say too many polite words, but just handed over the elixir. "Since I am going to find Profound Ice Crystal Marrow, I should be responsible for the expenses along the way."

Qin Tiexin glanced at Nangong Yao.

Nangong Yao spread his hands. "Don't look at me, Junior Sister Li gave it to me before you came."

Qin Tiexin took the jade bottle and uncorked it, and a mild medicinal fragrance floated out, with a hint of warmth, which was in sharp contrast to the surrounding Cold Qi. He put away the elixir and said thank you.

Li Yun nodded, then turned around and looked at the gray-white ice field outside the east gate.

"Let's go."
