Chapter 1572: Ice Cave Cold Crystal
nderer remained unfazed, his hands changing rapidly in a series of seals. Each seal struck the flawless pearl, causing it to blaze with light. The stone hall's walls flickered with formations, as if...Let's go back to the snowfield.
Yanshan the elder and Qin Sang transformed into their true forms, chasing after the snow fox relentlessly.
They kept their eyes fixed on the snow fox while also glancing around at their surroundings.
No wonder Elder Yanshan and Situ Yu both returned defeated several times.
Qin Sang estimated that they were almost to the snow fox's den, but there was nothing unusual about the surroundings. He couldn't sense any fluctuations in formations or barriers.
Besides, Xuehu gave him a very strange feeling.
Even the lowly and feeble spirits of cold have their own emotional fluctuations, experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Despite being chased for so long, the snow fox never looked back at its pursuer once. It didn't emit any cries of panic or anger, remaining calm and composed, fearless.
Does the snow fox have the confidence to escape them
As soon as Qin Sang had this thought, just about to communicate with Elder Yan Shan, he suddenly saw the fleeing snow fox vanish without a trace.
As usual, the snow fox should have flashed in from another direction, but this time it truly disappeared.

Whoosh! Whoosh!
Qin Sang and Elder Yan Shan chased closely behind.
Here is already at the bottom of the ravine.

With their feet firmly planted on the ground, they quickly scanned their surroundings. They were standing at a crossroads where several ditches intersected.
A piercing wind whipped through every crevice, tiny ice crystals colliding here, forming vast sheets of frost. Unless the wind ceased, the frost would persist.
In the plains, this type of terrain is the most common.
But this is precisely what is most abnormal.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The snow fox has been missing for so long, vanishing in this very place. There must be something strange going on here!
Yanshan Elder scanned his surroundings, finding nothing. He could only turn his head and look at Qin Sang.
Qin Sang's eyes were filled with a glimmer of cyan light, his mind connected to the Heaven-Eye Butterfly, carefully searching every inch of the area.
I waited a moment.
When Elder Yanshan saw Qin Sang remained motionless, he couldn't help but speak, "We've already destroyed so many stone walls ahead. It doesn't matter if we destroy this one too. Let's just attack together and smash the surrounding terrain! Any secrets will definitely be exposed."
As he spoke, Elder Yan Shan took out the thin rope and with a flick of his wrist, was about to draw it towards the right side of the rock wall.
"Hold on!"
Qin Sang waved his hand to stop the Elder Yanshan, and suddenly lowered his head to look at his feet.

Upon seeing this, Elder Yanshan was taken aback and hurriedly flew into the air. "The snow fox's den is underground"
Qin Sang shook his head slightly, hesitatingly saying, "It doesn't seem like a nest..."
In the eyes of the Tianmu Butterfly, there was actually a fox pattern on the ground.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The cold wind never ceased, and the loose soil could not exist in the ravines. The ground was smoothed into a polished stone surface and covered with a thick layer of ice.
The image was not carved into the stone, but rather in the ice layer, floating on the surface of the stone.
The fox is incredibly lifelike, identical to a snow fox, as if a snow fox has been sealed within it.
Just like the snow fox's concealment, this pattern is extremely faint. If not for the Heavenly Eye Butterfly, even the deity itself would overlook it here.
"The snow fox is hiding in the ice" Qin Sang was astonished.
To his perception, this layer of ice was no different from anywhere else, just normal ice. It would crack with a little pressure.
When Elder Yanshan urged his divine consciousness to investigate, he also got the same result.
"It's not as simple as saying it's a snow fox's den! Senior Brother, since you saw the snow fox diagram, the mystery lies in the diagram itself. Forcefully destroying it will definitely not work and will only lead to being tricked. Senior Brother, draw the diagram, and let us study it together. Let's see what this fellow is capable of," Elder Yanshan urged.
Qin Sang had the same idea. He gestured with both hands towards the void, carefully sketching the outline of a snow fox.
Elder Yan Shan stared for a long time, falling into deep thought.
Qin Sang stared intently at the snow fox, from its head all the way to its tail.
Thinking for a moment, Qin Sang's eyes lit up. "What if we treat it as a restriction or rune Perhaps the snow fox is innately proficient in this."
He obtained the complete inheritance of Yuanshimen and also read a lot of classics in Xuantian Palace. His attainments in the way of formations and restrictions were not low. Starting from this idea, he did make some new discoveries.
If Xuehu wants to hide using this method, it's underestimating both him and Tianmudie.
Qin Sang shifted his gaze, fixing his eyes on the snow fox's pair of eyes. Judging from appearances, he couldn't glean any more information. The only option left was to try attacking the snow fox.
"I'll go!" Elder Yanshan volunteered. "Dao brother, keep a close eye on the snow fox and don't be misled by it."
Qin Sang thought for a moment, then retreated a distance. She planted several array flags around them just in case, and pointed out the snow fox's eyes to Elder Yanshan.
Whoosh!
A thin thread shot out, bending in mid-air, its two ends pointing directly at the snow fox's eyes.
Yanshan Elder suddenly stopped, saying with a hint of shame, "I didn't expect Daoist brother to reach this point before, and I forgot to discuss an agreement."
Qin Sang narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean, Daoist brother"
"Since he is the Sect Leader Si's friend and we have spent half a year together, I have no doubt about Dao-brother's character. In this case, locking down Xuehu, Dao-brother deserves the first credit."
Facing Qin Sang's gaze, Elder Yanshan spoke frankly, "To be honest, that kind of cold crystal is also beneficial to this old man, but it's not something indispensable. If we find the cold crystals, half for each of us. If the number of cold crystals cannot satisfy you, this old man will give a portion willingly. However, if there are other treasures here, all the cold crystals belong to you, and then this old man will choose the treasures first. What do you think"
Qin Sang's expression eased slightly.
He came here solely for the cold crystal. Elder Yan Shan's suggestion was right up his alley.
Seeing Qin Sang's agreement, the Elder Yan Shan also showed a look of joy. He no longer hesitated and shot down swiftly, simultaneously striking the two eyes of the snow fox.
"Poof!"
The thin thread pierced through the ice layer and snow fox's eyes, effortlessly penetrating the stone and sinking deep into the ground.
Such a smooth process left both of them stunned.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred.
The snow fox's body was enveloped in a blinding white light. Its fur grew rapidly, transforming into countless white threads that covered the entire ice layer, resembling a demonic fox as it unleashed a strange and powerful force.
Boom!

Within a radius of several miles, stone walls and ice layers shattered with a roar, instantly forming a whirlwind. Countless rocks and fragments of ice swirled within it.
Qin Sang and the Elder Yan Shan both changed color, flashing back.
When Qin Sang and the other were pursuing.
The Yue Fei left Luye alone, passing through layers of dark clouds and landing at the edge of the snowy field.
She raised her jade arm, pinched a seal, sensed the cold spirit, confirmed its location, and then took out a light gauze to cover herself. Her figure immediately became blurry and indistinct.
After concealing her form, Yue Fei was about to enter the snowy plain when she suddenly stopped, changed direction, and went around to the other side of the snow plain. With a flick of her finger, she sent a beam of light into the snow before finally starting her journey.
With the Cold Spirit guiding her, Moon Fairy effortlessly pinpointed their location.

Qin Sang always kept track of the movements of the snow fox.

But since the Elder Yan Shan attacked Xue Hu's eyes, until now, Xue Hu has never been seen, completely disappeared. Instead, they ran into trouble and may have fallen into Xue Hu's trap.

Qin Sang was actually on guard and kept a distance from Elder Yanshan, so they could look out for each other. However, the range of the affected area was so vast.
The storm swept in.
Qin Sang immediately activated the flag formation he had set up earlier.
The banner flutters in the wind, standing firm in all directions, forming a mysterious yellow barrier.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Bang! Bang! Bang! ,
The barrier was struck repeatedly, the clang of collisions incessant. This was no ordinary storm; its power was extraordinary. The flags fluttered wildly, and even the spirit array threatened to be dispersed.
Old Man Yanshan quickly retreated to Qin Sang's side, reaching into his waist and drawing out three blue points of light. They danced and twirled in mid-air before revealing their true form.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
It was actually a three-sided bone shield, but the design was rather strange, resembling the skull of a dragon.
"Go!"
Yanshan Elder let out a low growl, and the three dragon-head shields flew in three different directions. The mouths of the dragon-head shields spat jets of water that merged into the battle formation, instantly increasing its defensive power.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Though they were working together for the first time, they were very well-matched.
Fortunately, Elder Yanshan made his move in time.
As the Dragonhead Shield was activated, a surge of blue light pulsed from the storm, bringing forth fist-sized ice balls that spun rapidly, hurtling towards them carried by the wind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!,
The power of the puck was akin to a thunderbolt, the explosion's impact causing the flags and dragonhead shields to tremble, but they remained steadfast.
"This kind of hockey puck...it's similar to the chill aura within the glacial crystal!"
Qin Sang's eyes narrowed slightly, then widened with delight.
It's fine to let the snow fox go, as long as we can find the ice crystals.
Upon hearing Qin Sang's words, Elder Yanshan immediately changed his strategy. Driving his bone shield, he charged towards the ice ball head-on, not retreating but advancing, charging into the center of the storm.
Qin Sang did not ask Tianmu Die to retract her divine powers, and she was still searching for the snow fox.
Although I detected the familiar chill of the Frost Qi, I haven't seen any Frost Crystals yet. I must remain vigilant for the Snow Fox hiding in the shadows.
Qin Sang felt more and more strange. Could its intelligence really be so high that it could set up such a trap
At this moment, Qin Sang was surprised to find that the surrounding environment had changed. The stone wall on his left, which was clearly shattered, had somehow repaired itself at some point.
Qin Sang's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked to his right. Sure enough, a new stone wall had grown there. They were in a stone path filled with storms and ice balls.
"This is..."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang's expression was solemn. Unknowingly, they had arrived in an unfamiliar place.
When a storm appears.
The Empress arrived just nearby, first hearing a series of booming roars, then seeing the surrounding stone walls collapsing. Her silver teeth clenched; she didn't even wait to see what was happening or for reinforcements, charging into the storm without hesitation.
Beyond the snowfields.
Qin Sang's main body looked bewildered.
Two cultivators at the Nascent Soul mid-stage, pursuing a mere snow fox, could still encounter accidents
Just now, the connection between him and his avatar suddenly became extremely faint.
With his incarnation divine powers perfected, wielding a spiritual treasure in hand, adorned with the Wish-Fulfilling Pearl and the Heaven-Eye Butterfly, few in this world could threaten his existence.
Moreover, the feeling only weakened and didn't disappear completely, as if separated by a barrier.
My face showed no urgency, my figure flashed and I entered the snowy field.

> In the storm.
Yanshan, the old man wielding his dragon-head shield, braced against the onslaught of ice balls. Upon hearing Qin Sang recount the incident, he snorted coldly, "What tricks is that fiend playing Just go in and find out!"
>
Qin Sang nodded secretly.
They two joined forces, and even faced a great cultivator without fear.
For now, the storm and puck pose no threat to them; they can easily crush past them with their strength.
Qin Sang drove the snow-driving divine sword, hanging upside down above his head, making Tianmu Die focus on the front.
Soon, the storm began to subside.
The two immediately increased their speed and charged forward, finally breaking out.
Yan Shan's old man changed his incantation, the dragon head shield bounced back and circled around him. Qin Sang also retracted his flag formation, his divine blade pointed straight ahead.
They were not attacked.
My vision was filled with a brilliant azure blue, as if I had entered an ice cave.
The surroundings were covered in icicles, thick hoarfrost emitting a piercing chill.
"Could this be the source of the cold in the snowfields"
Qin Sang looked around the ice cave. The icicles hung from above, and the ice pillars on the ground stood like a forest. He seemed to have entered a world of frost and ice. However, the snow fox was still nowhere to be seen.
Soon, Qin Sang noticed that there was a large open area deep within the ice cave, which was unlike any other place.
In the center of that area, there was only an eight-sided ice pillar. At the top of the ice pillar was a fist-sized ice ball, with the same color and texture as the cold crystal given by Situ Yu!
"Cold Crystal!"
At the same time Qin Sang saw the cold crystal, he also noticed other things were amiss.
Around the eight-pointed ice pillar, a spiritual formation composed of countless runes was carved on the ice. This formation was extremely complex, and Qin Sang and Tianmu Die couldn't immediately tell what kind of formation it was. They could only see that it was related to the way of ice.
"This is artificially arranged."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang was taken aback.
This kind of formation is absolutely impossible to have arisen naturally!
Qin Sang stared at the frost crystals on the ice pillar. The person who set up the formation was probably using this method to collect cold and malevolent energy. The snow fox might be that person's domesticated guardian spirit beast.
They accidentally trespassed on someone else's property.
"It definitely wasn't written by someone from today," Elder Yan Shan scanned the ice pillar, his gaze darting around as if searching for other clues. His tone was firm, "If I'm not mistaken, it would probably take hundreds or even thousands of years to collect enough using this method to form such a large crystal. The owner of this place must have been gone for a very long time..."
Qin Sang nodded slightly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If that senior expert were still alive, they wouldn't have to wait for the cold crystals to grow so large before harvesting them. The size of the cold crystals doesn't affect their effectiveness.
The situation in the immortal cultivation world is unpredictable.
The meticulous preparations made by a cultivator may not be enjoyed by the cultivator themselves.
However, getting the cold crystal is probably not going to be easy.
Qin Sang's gaze fell on the spirit array around Han Jing, just about to comprehend this array, when the Tianmu butterfly suddenly sent a warning.
Suddenly,
Qin Sang suddenly turned around, his snow-walking saber trembling slightly.
Yanshan elder hadn't noticed anything amiss. Seeing Qin Sang's movements, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly moved the dragon-head shield to behind him.
The next moment.
A bewitching woman rushed out of the storm, it was Yue Fei.
Their eyes met, and both were startled.
The imperial concubine wore a light gauze, and with a flick of her jade arm, she made the first move. A cloud of smoke shot out from her hand, aiming straight for Qin Sang's face.
Qin Sang had always kept the Stepping Snow Divine Blade hidden. He intended to first inquire about the visitor's identity before taking any action. If the other party was the master of this place, perhaps they could negotiate a deal.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't say a word and immediately attacked.
>
"Whoosh!"
Two pink flashes shot out from the smoke, attacking Qin Sang and Elder Yanshan at the same time.
>
Two loud bangs.
>
A blast struck Elder Yan Shan's dragon head shield, while another strangely pierced Qin Sang's flag formation, arriving in an instant.
Fortunately, Qin Sang reacted quickly and immediately activated the Ruyi Orb within his body. The lightning was finally blocked by the orb's protective barrier.
In an instant.
Qin Sang and the old man from Yanshan's faces were as gloomy as water.
Rain hitting bluestonestook off the ring from his finger.With the protection of a venerable elder, there is no need to worry about safety. Master Zhijian sits in the lotus position, his eyes closed tightly, his hands claspe...
