Disagreement
"Senior, are you all better now?"
Liao Pantu nodded to him, and after emerging from the ice coffin, he turned around and put the ice coffin into his soul.
Lin Xiao wasn't too surprised that his soul could hold things, seeing him stuff the ice coffin directly into his soul body. After all, he had used so many things before, and they all came from his soul body.
"What's the use of this ice coffin?" Lin Xiao asked.
After Liao Pantu carefully put away the ice coffin, he told him:
"This is Frigid Ice Coffin, not very useful, just for nurturing the soul. I thought it was fitting, so I took it out to use as a bed here."
Since he created the "Soul-Refining Art," many of the things he has collected are related to the soul.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao picked up the Soul-Nourishing Pendant from the ground and asked him:
"Senior, do you still use this Soul-Nourishing Pendant?"
"Use it." Liao Pantu, having put away the ice coffin, immediately crawled back into the Soul-Nourishing Pendant. "This Soul-Nourishing Pendant is pretty good. It's working quite well for my part of my soul so far. When you have time later, get me an even higher-grade one. Let's go, let's hurry out so we don't run into anyone."
So the two left the cave, and as they walked, Lin Xiao replied:
"Sure, I'll definitely get you an even better one when I have the time and materials. How about I get you that bed made of your Soul-Nourishing Giant Wood, senior?"
"That won't do! I'll only let you sleep with me at most!"
"No, please reconsider?"
At this moment.
In the very center of the ice cave, there used to be a lot of buildings.
Hu Guanyu was shocked to see the large, pitted pits here.
He had been worried that something might have happened to Lin Xiao since he hadn't come to see him for so long, so he came back to check on him, only to find that all the buildings here had disappeared!
It's highly likely that Lin Xiao poached him.
Jiang Cheng, standing beside him, was also astonished by what he saw. He stammered:
"So he wasn't digging here to get out of there after all..."
As he spoke, he suddenly realized something and said to Hu Guanyu:
"Brother Hu, maybe that person knows something! Could these ice houses be the key to getting out? We need to find him quickly; we can't let him escape alone!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Guanyu frowned slightly in disapproval and looked at him, saying:
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not even certain that he dug up the house. Even if he did, what if the person just liked the houses and wanted them? You're just making things up without any evidence. What if someone with ulterior motives hears this and causes trouble for him?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately retorted:
"What cultivator would dig up such a bunch of useless houses just because they like them? Besides, these things are so big, ordinary Storage Bag and rings can't fit them at all! These houses must be valuable, Brother Hu, that Lin Xiao definitely has treasures on him! Those ice houses might even be treasures!"
Seeing his excited expression when he mentioned that Lin Xiao might have a treasure, Hu Guanyu suppressed the disgust and revulsion rising in his heart and said in a flat tone:
What does it matter to you if someone has a treasure?
Hearing him say that, Jiang Cheng glanced at him with surprise, then glanced at his Heavenly Profound Sect attire and snorted:
"Unlike you, Brother Hu, who comes from a prestigious sect like the Heavenly Profound Sect, I'm just a rogue Rogue Cultivator with no one to rely on. I have to fight for everything I want. A Rogue Cultivator who doesn't compete or grab can't survive in this Immortal Cultivation Realm. Since you're not interested in the treasures on Lin Xiao, that's perfect. They'll all be mine in a bit. Just don't be jealous then."
At first, he warned Lin Xiao that he couldn't get out by digging a hole because he couldn't tell Lin Xiao's cultivation level and, seeing that he was young, guessed that he was likely someone he could rely on.
Later, it was discovered that he had actually taken the initiative to invite Hu Guanyu to travel together, and had readily agreed to let Hu Guanyu be the team leader. In my mind, I had already concluded that he was not a very capable person.
Now that he learned that the man was likely pregnant and knew how to get out, his heart burned with excitement.
If you see something you like, just grab it!
Isn't this how everyone cultivates immortality?
Anyway, once you kill someone, who will know?
As long as you ultimately get the treasure, all the benefits are yours.
During his two days in the ice cave, he saw a great many remains, some of which had Storage Bag scattered around them, presumably belonging to cultivators who had been left in the ice cave last year.
Most of those Storage Bag contained at least one suicide note, but that didn't matter.
More importantly, those Storage Bag contained quite a few Spirit Stone and various treasures.
So although he was also looking for a way out these past two days, he was actually mainly collecting the Storage Bag of these cultivators.
And you know what? I've actually collected about ten Storage Bag for him in the last two days, and even a small storage ring!
The value of the treasures he collected in the Storage Bag in just the last two days far exceeds what he earned every year by diligently venturing into secret realms or hunting Demon Beast in the Demon Beast Forest! Even if he had another five or ten years, he couldn't earn that many Spirit Stone!
This can save me so much time in my cultivation.
Anyway, someone as weak as Lin Xiao would either die at his hands or at someone else's. Rather than letting someone else benefit from him, it's better to benefit yourself.
Seeing his matter-of-fact attitude, Hu Guanyu was very displeased and spoke up to remind him:
"Lin Xiao is our teammate. If you try to harm him, it's creating conflict within the group, and as the captain, I can't allow that!"
Jiang Cheng hadn't expected this disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sect to be so naive. A thought quickly crossed his mind, and he blurted out:
"... Brother Hu, what you said is right. I've thought about it carefully, and I realize that what I did was indeed wrong. I'm just a small-time Rogue Cultivator who hasn't seen much money, and I felt that Lin Xiao had a way to get out but wasn't telling us. I just spoke those words in a moment of passion. Don't take it to heart."
See, I only tell you everything because I truly consider you a teammate.
Seeing him suddenly bowing and scraping to him again, admitting his mistakes, Hu Guanyu looked at him calmly, his mind wandering, but he spoke aloud:
"It's good that you understand. Now that we're teammates, we should work together. Fellow Daoist Jiang, please don't say such irresponsible things in the future."
Meanwhile, Yuan Zhiyun had gone out to find someone to cooperate with, walked for a while after leaving the cave before encountering a figure.
After all, this ice cave isn't the only gray spot in this Icefield Mystic Realm. Not many people are randomly assigned to this ice cave each year, and the area around the cave is quite secluded, so it's normal not to run into anyone right away.
She saw two people pacing back and forth nearby with compasses, checking records. After a moment's thought, she stepped forward, clasped her hands in greeting, and said:
"Fellow Daoists, I, Yuan Zhiyun the Yuan Household in Yuanling City, have something to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, Liang Zhonghuai and Yu Guang stopped their surveying and recording work and looked at her with some surprise.
"What business does Young Master Yuan have with us?"
