Icefield Spirit

The suspicious spot that Senior Liao pointed out earlier is located nearby.

Lin Xiao spent half a day fishing in the Ice and Snow Lake, but apart from not being able to use Law Technique in the lake, he didn't find anything unusual. So he decided to wander around and take a look.

Seeing that a group of cultivators were preparing to leave, Lin Xiao also got up and planned to follow them.

Arriving at the ice stone platform where fish were killed, Lin Xiao imitated others and killed a few Silver-Tailed Fish in a professional manner. Then, he quietly put the remaining Silver-Tailed Fish from his large bag into the live animal storage area of his private storehouse.

But Lin Xiao wandered around with the crowd for a long time without finding anything particularly interesting.

At this point, six days had passed since they first entered this secret realm.

There are nine days left.

Lin Xiao looked back on the places he had visited over the past few days.

Everything seemed normal, just the usual stuff you'd find in a typical secret realm, and Senior Liao said there was nothing wrong with it.

After thinking it over, the only thing that's special is that you can't use Law Technique to catch fish in the Ice and Snow Lake.

So Lin Xiao decided to go back and take another look.

However, just as he was about to turn back after leaving the crowd, he suddenly noticed something darting towards him in the snow.

The opponent was so fast that even his Divine Sense couldn't catch up with them before they were already in front of him!

With just one glance, Lin Xiao clearly saw what the thing that was lunging at him looked like.

This creature has a rather peculiar appearance. It is completely white and transparent, with a body length of less than fifty centimeters. It has a large head and slender, long limbs.

Judging from its appearance alone, it doesn't match any of the creatures Lin Xiao knows. If he had to use one word to describe it, the word that comes to mind would probably be 'elf'.

In an instant, Lin Xiao recalled meeting Yuan Zhiyun on Seven Stars Street in Yuanling City more than ten days ago. She seemed to have mentioned wanting to find a team to capture the Icefield Spirit in the Icefield Mystic Realm.

Could this be...?

However, all those thoughts were only fleeting.

The next moment, Lin Xiao saw something seem to reach out from his arms and snap it away, putting away the creature that looked like Icefield Spirit.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was Senior Liao who had made the move:

"Senior, what was that just now?"

Liao Pantu, who was inside the Soul-Nourishing Pendant, transmitted his voice to him:

"I don't know what kind of luck you had, kid. On your first time entering a Icefield Mystic Realm, you actually encountered Icefield Spirit!"

These Icefield Spirit roam the frigid lands year-round, but they are extremely rare and very afraid of humans. Years ago, I traveled thousands of Icefield Spirit to a remote, frigid region to catch one, spending months waiting before finally managing to capture it. I never imagined you'd encounter one that actually walked right into my path...

"Non-Self weren't a spirit, hidden in your embrace, catching it off guard, it would have taken quite a bit of effort to catch it in this icy wasteland."

"That little thing was actually Icefield Spirit?" Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised.

"I wonder what use this Icefield Spirit is?"

Liao Pantu then extended a semi-transparent hand from Lin Xiao's arms and handed him a small box, saying:

"Something's suddenly happened to one of my souls. You can take a look at it yourself first." After saying that, his soul fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Xiao took the small box and, upon hearing that another soul had something to do, quickly asked:

What happened?

However, no further response was received from Senior Liao.

He had no choice but to put the small box into his private vault, intending to use the authentication function to examine it.

The authentication function was used on the small box in the private vault, and the first line of text that caught the eye was:

[A Spirit Rhinoceros Sealing Box containing an Icefield Spirit; this box can seal various sprites.]

As for the Icefield Spirit, there was no explanation at all. It's probably because it was sealed in a box. Perhaps he would have to release the Icefield Spirit and put it in his private vault.

However, he wasn't confident that he could catch the fast-moving Icefield Spirit after releasing it, so he decided against it.

Then Lin Xiao asked the system:

"Isn't it said that private vaults can't store sentient beings?" This Icefield Spirit is so hard to catch, it couldn't possibly be less than the Spirit Awakening First Layer, could it?

[Elves are different from ordinary spirit beasts; ordinary elves lack intelligence, and it is very difficult for them to develop intelligence.]

Lin Xiao thought about it and tried to understand it himself.

The difference between so-called lower and higher beings, as determined by the system, should lie in whether or not they possess a soul.

So perhaps this means that ordinary elves don't have souls?

Forget it, I'll stop guessing and just wait for Senior Liao to come back before asking him.

Setting aside these temporarily unimportant thoughts, he hurried back to the Ice and Snow Lake.

The shores of the Ice and Snow Lake remained crowded with people.

However, Lin Xiao did not plan to go from the lakeside; he intended to go up to the big snow mountain behind the Ice and Snow Lake.

Only then did he notice that the monks who were fishing preferred to crowd together on the lakeside, but not a single one went to fish on the snow-capped mountain on the other side.

There are clearly some places to stay on the snow-capped mountain.

It can easily accommodate many more people fishing there.

The area around the Ice and Snow Lake was quite lively, except for the fishing groups on the lakeshore. There were people cleaning fish everywhere, as well as newcomers, people packing up to leave, and people setting up tents in the open space behind the lake for a long-term fishing trip.

Using his Concealment Technique, Lin Xiao easily bypassed the bustling crowd and arrived at the other side of the snow-capped mountain behind the Ice and Snow Lake without anyone noticing.

The map marks this area as an empty, snow-covered mountain, with nothing on it.

However, after zooming in on the map and looking closely, Lin Xiao discovered a "Danger" sign in one corner of the snow-capped mountain.

Yes, this map can be zoomed in, and it contains very detailed annotations of numerous details.

Lin Xiao felt that buying this map was well worth the price.

He thought about it and decided to go and take a look.

However, before that, he had already buried a Location Talisman Mother Talisman the original location.

In any case, if things don't look good, running away is the best policy!

Running away is not shameful.

We arrived at a spot marked 'Danger' on the map.

Then he saw that directly in front of him, at the exact location marked with the word 'danger,' was a vast expanse of white, dense forest.

Lin Quan was a vast expanse of white trees, their leaves and branches as white as snow. At first glance, Lin Xiao thought they were just bare trees covered in snow.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao felt as if he saw blood-red eyes staring at him relentlessly.
