Chapter 44 Ice Rock Cave
When they arrived in the forest, Feng Kaiyu hurriedly thanked Ye Ling: "Ye Yaoshi is still the most kind! Even Elder Jindan let me go out for Ye Yaoshi's sake. Haha, Ye Yaoshi will help if there is anything in the future. Just tell me about it and I’ll call you soon!”
Yun Wan and Xiao Rong smiled sweetly at the same time: "We are the same, we will come when you are called!"
Ye Ling nodded with satisfaction, bowed his hands to them, said goodbye happily, and returned.
Ye Ling saw that his master, Sect Master Zhao, and several master uncles in the foundation-building stage were reporting to the immortal sect elder Liu Juntang about the cultivation of spiritual herbs in the Medicine Valley, as well as the situation of the five major sects around Maple Bridge Town. Ye Ling knew very well that these things were not something that he, a small middle-stage Qi-training disciple, could observe, so he walked away knowingly, planning to enter the second floor of the cave to take charge of the ice cave, and select twenty disciples to go to the ice cave to practice.
As soon as they reached the cave hall, Meng Chang, He Jingsheng, Su Qin and Zi Shan were all gathered here, waiting for Ye Ling to come. When they saw him, they all came forward to congratulate him.
Meng Chang grinned and said: "Brother Ye! Congratulations on your advancement to the fifth level of Qi training! This little brother is beyond your reach. I admire you, I admire you!"
No matter how arrogant He Jingsheng is, he still looks at Ye Ling with admiration, especially because Ye Ling has a friendship with the Jindan elder of the Immortal Sect, which makes him have to re-examine Ye Ling. He admired Ye Ling and said: "Brother Ye is not only improving in cultivation now, but also in I hold an important position in this natural cave! From now on, please take good care of our old friends in Qingzhuyuan."
"That's natural!" Ye Ling wholeheartedly agreed and said with a smile: "The five of us at Qingzhuyuan are different from the other brothers and sisters. We have been together for a long time and should be taken care of. Are you interested in going to the ice cave with me to practice? "
The four people were overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, especially Suqin and Zishan.
Zishan smiled and said, "I'm just telling you! Brother Ye will definitely miss us, but Sister Suqin still doesn't believe it! What else can Sister Suqin say now?"
Su Qin smiled and said: "Haha, thank you, Senior Brother Ye, for disregarding past grudges. My little lady is very grateful."
Ye Ling led them around the winding tunnel and arrived at the first floor of the cave. The large cave with a radius of dozens of miles made them feel relaxed and happy.
At this time, all the casual cultivators from various sects on the first floor of the cave and from Maple Bridge Town were expelled. They were all disciples of the Alchemy Sect and some elders who had received a mission to enter the cave to survey the distribution of the Ice Spirit Mine.
The inner disciples who were hunting the grass ball demon on the grass saw Ye Ling leading the people. They quickly stopped fighting in front of them and came forward to greet Ye Ling one after another, which shocked Ye Ling.
Ye Ling, who was usually unknown, had never received such courtesy from his fellow inner disciples even though he had become the first in the competition among outer disciples and the direct disciple of the sect master.
Nowadays, the relationship between Ye Ling and Elder Liu of the Immortal Sect has made all the inner disciples jealous. In addition, Ye Ling is in charge of the ice cave on the second floor of the cave, which makes them even more enthusiastic to approach him. There are even some female cultivators who don't care about being ashamed, and they shout so affectionately that Senior Brother Ye is older than Senior Brother Ye.
After finally sending them away, Meng Chang said with emotion: "Brother Ye! Your status in the sect is very different from before, and you have become a very popular figure! I am afraid that my master, Sect Master Zhao, will also look at you differently. . Hey! Among these inner disciples, my cultivation level is the lowest, and I am a little medicine boy. I don’t earn much from spiritual stones. Brother Ye must not forget to support him in the future!”
Ye Ling patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Although you are only at the second level of Qi training, you can also practice in the ice cave. With the rich spiritual energy of the ice cave, you can reach the third level of Qi training in a short time. no problem!"
Meng Chang was very happy after hearing this, and said with a rough voice: "Okay! Brother Ye is still loyal enough! I have now faintly touched the third level of Qi training. I only need to retreat for a few days and I can definitely advance!"
Ye Ling nodded and smiled, and then said thoughtfully: "What I'm thinking now is that the level of the monsters in the ice cave is not low. There are second- and third-order monsters running all over the ground. A powerful restraining formation must be set up in the ice cave. , open a cave in the spiritual vein, so that we can practice inside! When the master is free, I will go to see him in person and explain this matter."
Suqin and Zishan's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they rushed to say: "Why bother the sect master? Just wait until we go and invite our masters!"
He Jingsheng put his palms on his hands and said with a smile: "That's right! I have long heard from my master that Elder Xuanqing's attainments in formation prohibition are considered to be the best in the Yaogu Sect, so I'll help you two junior sisters."
Ye Ling nodded in agreement, and the two girls hurriedly went to invite Master Xuan Qing.
Not long after, Elder Xuanqing arrived with his two daughters on a flying sword. Even the female elder Xuanqing, who was in the foundation stage of Yaogu Sect, became polite to Ye Ling.
"I heard that Nephew Ye Xian plans to set up a forbidden formation in the ice cave. If you have any difficulties, just talk to this elder."
Ye Ling had never seen the Foundation Establishment Elder in the door be so polite to him. He quickly cupped his fists and saluted, took out the jade slip of the ice cave map from his storage bag, and gave Elder Xuanqing the location and terrain, which was close to the entrance of the ice cave. Ye Ling introduced each place to Elder Xuanqing based on his impressions.
Elder Xuanqing nodded his head gently and personally drove the flying sword, carrying the five of them from Qingzhuju to the depths of the dark forest on the first floor of the cave.
When they arrived at the place, Elder Xuanqing first looked at the prohibition formation that Elder Liu of the Immortal Sect had used to seal the entrance to the ice cave with an expression of admiration and worship. He couldn't help but nod in praise: "After all, it's Elder Jindan of the Immortal Sect! The restriction arranged by The formation is so mysterious that even if all the foundation-building elders of Yaogu Sect were tied together, it would be extremely difficult to break it!"
Ye Ling smiled calmly, took out the forbidden jade slip given to him by Elder Liu of the Immortal Sect from his storage bag, pressed it on the light curtain of the formation, and a door hole of ten feet in size appeared instantly.
The group entered one after another, alarming the second-level snow wolves and third-level snow ferrets near the entrance of the ice cave, all of which were scared away by the powerful aura of Elder Xuanqing in the foundation-building period.
Zi Shan followed closely beside the master, clapped her hands and laughed: "Look! What a cute snow ferret!"
Su Qin said with lingering fear: "The ice cave on the second floor of the cave is really dangerous, with second-level and third-level monsters everywhere! If it weren't for the master coming with us, the five of us would definitely not be the opponents of these monsters at the entrance of the cave."
Ye Ling nodded: "So, we have to set up another circle of forbidden formations at the entrance of the ice cave to block the invasion of monsters, so that we can practice in the ice cave with peace of mind."
Elder Xuanqing dispersed the nearby monsters and arrived under the agreed hill. The mountain was covered with ice and snow, and the whole place was full of ice and snow. Covered with ice crystal rocks, the spiritual energy is also very rich. Elder Xuanqing smiled and said, "This is it! It is close to the entrance of the ice cave, and the spiritual energy is not bad. You can open up the ice cave here! This elder has set up a fifth-grade top-grade formation flag here, and added some forbidden formations. As long as you hold the token of our disciples, you can enter and exit. Surround this mountain and the entrance of the ice cave. It is your place of meditation, and the monsters can't get in."
After the discussion, everyone started to get busy. Each of them opened a cave under the hill. Suqin and Zishan lived together, and the two women worked together to dig a large cave.
Meng Chang wanted to live with He Jingsheng and Ye Ling, but the two of them were willing to stay alone in a room, which made Meng Chang helpless.
Finally, Ye Ling looked at them and found a remote place under the ice rock to open up a cave.
Elder Xuanqing also set up a formation light curtain around, and the fifth-grade top-grade formation flag flashed with formation light, so that the monsters in the ice cave dared not approach.
Finally, Elder Xuanqing left a sum of spiritual stones for Ye Ling, and said with a smile: "The fifth-level top-grade formation flag needs spiritual stones to maintain operation. Keep these for use first. When they are used up in the future, just send Suqin or Zishan to come to me to get them."
Ye Ling said hurriedly: "How can I be embarrassed? Hehe, this junior has already thought about it. The spiritual stones for maintaining the formation flag can be recorded in the sect's account. Just go back and tell the sect master. Or, it can also be counted on the disciples who go to the ice cave for training. Whoever comes to train and pays a few spiritual stones, I believe they are also willing."
Elder Xuanqing nodded and praised: "Nephew Ye is still smart! No wonder he is highly regarded by the elders of the Jindan Sect. Haha, this is the best! You can practice in the ice cave with peace of mind. I'm leaving first. Suqin, Zishan, you two must practice well and don't disappoint the expectations of your master."
Suqin and Zishan hurriedly responded in unison and said goodbye to their master.
After Elder Xuanqing left, the five people in Qingzhu Courtyard were relieved and very happy.
Zishan suggested: "Everyone! The five of us live under the same snowy hill again. Let's just treat the snowy hill here as the new Qingzhu Courtyard. Brother Ye, who is in charge of the ice cave, will give it a name and carve it on the ice rock!"
"Agree! I second the proposal. Brother Ye will give it a name. This is our new home!"
Everyone thought that Ye Ling would give a refined and unique nickname for the new home, but Ye Ling smiled indifferently and gave a simple name casually: "What's the point of this? Just call it Bingyan Cave Mansion!"
The four people were stunned, and Meng Chang was the first to applaud and cheer: "What a good name! It's appropriate! It's straightforward!"
Just as they moved into the Bingyan Cave Mansion, in the dense forest of Songyang, at the entrance of the natural cave, the leader of the Medicine Valley, Zhao Yuanzhen, and several foundation-building elders in the sect, sent off Liu Juntang, the golden elixir elder of Tiandan Xianmen.
Sect Master Zhao let out a long sigh, holding the jade slip of the cave map, with a look of joy on his face.
"Haha! Our Medicine Valley Sect will be strong in the near future! In the future, we will not only be valued by the Immortal Sect, but we can also mine the ice spirit ore in the cave and extract 20% of the benefits for the use of Medicine Valley. The most exciting thing is that the disciples of Medicine Valley can practice in the natural cave with rich spiritual energy, which can greatly improve the cultivation and strength of our disciples!"
The elders laughed and said, "Isn't it! Thanks to Elder Liu of the Immortal Sect and your disciple Ye Ling! In the future, our Medicine Valley Sect will not lack spiritual stones! Should the salary of the elders in the sect be raised?"
Sect Master Zhao smiled and twisted his beard, "I think it's okay! Hahaha, my precious disciple is really good! He has made such a great contribution to the sect and is highly valued by the elders of the Immortal Sect. This sect master will reward him well."
