Jun Changxiao still spent 100 contribution points to buy the Nine-Fold Ice Sealing Palm, and directly copied out 1000 copies.
Although he couldn’t cultivate it himself, no matter what, since he’d bought it, he might as well decisively copy it out to prepare for the future.
Seeing the Sect Master hand over the manual, Lu Qianqian’s expression froze for a moment, but she still reached out her hand.
“Xiao Mu.”
Jun Changxiao turned around: “Find firewood to start a fire. Today we’re eating roasted wolf meat!”
“Yes!”
Su Xiaomo sprang into action.
Lu Qianqian opened the manual. When she saw this technique was created by an ice-type Martial Emperor, shock flashed in her bright eyes.
A martial technique created by a Martial Emperor—its quality definitely wouldn’t be low.
What shocked her was that the Sect Master had so casually taken it out again!
Without absolute foundation, a sect couldn’t possibly possess powerful martial techniques, so Lu Qianqian became even more convinced the Iron Bones Clanging Sect was inherited from ancient times.
Ye Xingchen believed Jun Changxiao came from the Upper Realm. She believed the Iron Bones Clanging Sect was inherited from ancient times.
Forceful mental supplementation was truly fatal!
This couldn’t be helped. Who told Jun Changxiao to repeatedly take out high-quality martial techniques that the two found hard to believe?
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
Flames rose up. Large wolf legs were roasted until they sizzled with dripping oil.
The rogue cultivators also mustered their courage and set up campfires in the distance, taking out the discarded gorilla meat to roast and eat.
Many people had entered Death Valley more than once. Openly roasting meat inside like this was truly a first—absolutely super thrilling!
After the Iron Bones Clanging Sect disciples ate their fill, they entered tents to rest, with several disciples taking turns on watch duty.
Zhou Hong didn’t sleep, immersed in comprehending the Soaring Sword Divine Manual. From the excitement showing between his brows, he should have gained considerable insights.
Lu Qianqian was also comprehending the Nine-Fold Ice Sealing Palm. The shock rising in her heart grew increasingly strong.
Although this technique couldn’t compare to the Supreme Profound Ice Heart Manual she cultivated, from the introduction, it could ice-seal any target, even ice-seal heaven and earth—definitely a divine-grade ice-type martial technique!
The “Frozen Land” that Lu Qianqian cultivated was also an ice-sealing type martial technique, but its level was low, merely forming a layer of ice on the ground.
Compared to the Nine-Fold Ice Sealing Palm, it was worlds apart!
“Swish!”
Cultivating until late at night, Lu Qianqian raised her palm and locked onto an ant crawling nearby. Cold qi erupted, instantly ice-sealing it, forming an ice block.
Ice-sealing an ant with less than five combat power wasn’t anything amazing, but this woman had only been cultivating for two hours!
“I can comprehend this fast because I possess the Supreme Profound Ice Heart Body.”
Lu Qianqian thought to herself.
Yes.
The Nine-Fold Ice Sealing Palm combined with an ice-type constitution—cultivation speed was far faster than ordinary ice-type martial artists!
As for how much faster, it still depended on the constitution’s level.
…
The next day.
Jun Changxiao got up early: “Continue setting out!”
Fire Dragon Beast.
Just hearing the name, one knew it was a fire-type fierce beast.
As long as they sensed scorching heat waves blowing from a tunnel entrance, there was a high probability of finding it.
Jun Changxiao secretly calculated.
But after searching for half the day, they didn’t encounter any gourd-shaped opening with scorching heat waves roaring through. Instead, they fought and killed many high-grade fierce beasts.
The process was somewhat difficult, because the deeper they went, fierce beasts were all around peak Wushi level, and they even encountered quite a few at high first or second rank.
Fortunately, none existed like the Swift Wind Wolf King.
Xiao Ziji and Li Yuhua held the line in front, while the other disciples attacked with Cold Edge Swords and Overlord Spears, successfully killing them one by one.
The rogue cultivators following behind were all dumbfounded.
Among these Iron Bones Clanging Sect disciples, only the ice-type disciple and the sword-using disciple gave people a sense of unfathomable strength. The others were all Wutu level, yet repeatedly hunted Wuzong-level fierce beasts!
If they left Death Valley and told others about this training experience, those people definitely wouldn’t believe it!
“Roar!”
Inside a certain gourd-shaped opening, a thick-skinned and heavily-built high first-rank rhinoceros beast let out a mournful wail, then crashed to the ground covered in wounds.
“Another one dead!”
The rogue cultivators, seeing this, had their mouths twitching violently.
“Ding! Host has killed hidden fierce beast. Epic quest completion 100%. Received 200 contribution points.”
“Contribution points: 890/1000.”
When the notification sounded, Jun Changxiao opened the data panel and discovered the epic quest still showed as incomplete.
“Looks like only by killing the Fire Dragon Beast can it truly be completed.” He speculated.
The system said: “Correct.”
Jun Changxiao rubbed his hands together: “If I continue finding hidden fierce beasts to kill, will the completion rate still increase?”
“In theory, yes.”
The system said: “However, please note the time limit, host.”
“It’s fine, there are still three days. Should be able to find a few more.”
Jun Changxiao led his disciples to continue forward. As long as they saw a high first-rank fierce beast in a gourd-shaped opening, they had to kill it, because it might very well be a hidden quest beast.
Of course, during this time they encountered quite a few group-dwelling fierce beasts.
Like jackal packs, large ant swarms, and bee swarms. Although they got through with some danger but no harm, the disciples were also made thoroughly miserable.
“Ding! Host has killed hidden fierce beast. Epic quest completion 120%. Received 200 contribution points.”
“Contribution points: 1090/1000.”
After killing another hidden fierce beast, Jun Changxiao decisively bought 4 bottles of aptitude modification liquid, firmly suppressing the urge to refresh the store.
Last time his luck was good, refreshing both ice and fire martial techniques. If his luck turned bad, it would all be for nothing.
“Ding! Host has killed hidden fierce beast. Epic quest completion 140%. Received 200 contribution points.”
“Ding…”
Throughout the entire day, Jun Changxiao killed 4 hidden fierce beasts, raising completion to 180%.
The 800 contribution points obtained were all used to buy aptitude modification liquid!
Including the 4 bottles bought earlier, Sect Master Jun had bought a total of 20 bottles of aptitude modification liquid—10 bottles suitable for mortal-grade, 10 bottles suitable for mid-grade.
What he earned wasn’t just store items, but also various ores and medicinal herbs.
Especially in one gourd-shaped opening, they found over twenty pounds of cold iron and an entire pool of ice spring water.
Taking advantage of the night rest, Jun Changxiao began forging Cold Edge Swords. By the time day broke, he had forged twenty.
Disciples who weren’t equipped with weapons received one each, achieving full armament.
Just from contribution points and weapons and equipment alone, this Death Valley training expedition could be called super profitable!
Jun Changxiao originally planned to continue searching for hidden fierce beasts, striving to reach 200% completion, but after arriving at a tunnel entrance, he immediately sensed scorching heat.
“Sect Master.”
Li Qingyang said gravely: “There’s definitely a powerful fire-type fierce beast inside!”
Jun Changxiao said: “Replace all the energy in the Sturdy Iron Shields with high-grade crystal cores.”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
The disciples took out crystal cores comparable to peak Wushi, even first-rank Wuzong level, replacing the energy in the Sturdy Iron Shields.
Enhanced by high-grade crystal cores, activating the defensive barrier would definitely have high defensive strength!
“Xiao Mu.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Go in and scout.”
“I’ll go.” Lu Qianqian said.
As an ice-type martial cultivator, going to a scorching hot area would undoubtedly be easier for her.
“Alright then.” Jun Changxiao said.
However, before she entered the tunnel entrance, he said: “Be careful.”
Lu Qianqian didn’t answer. Her entire body emanated ice-cold qi. Her graceful silhouette disappeared from everyone’s view.
Li Qingyang and the others hurriedly stood on alert.
Before long, Lu Qianqian walked out from inside: “There’s a high fifth-rank Fire Dragon Beast inside.”
Very good, very good.
The final quest monster had been found!
Killing it would not only complete the epic quest, but also reach 200% completion!
“Sect Master.”
Li Qingyang said gravely: “Fire Dragon Beasts have extremely strong control over flames. We should go around it.”
Xiao Ziji and the others all put away their shields, developing the intention to leave.
Jun Changxiao said: “This seat very much wants to see this so-called Fire Dragon Beast and whether it’s actually a dragon.”
Huh?
Everyone’s expressions went blank.
Previously when encountering high third-rank fierce beasts, the Sect Master would deliberate then choose to go around. How come encountering a high fifth-rank one, he instead wanted to go in and see it?
