Chapter 925 Snow Soul Demon Orchid, Encountering the Dragon Diagram Sect

Soon, Ye Kang gained a basic understanding of the three female cultivators.

Fairy Qingchen may seem the coldest, but she is actually the kindest. Her words are like a gentle breeze, making people feel very comfortable. There is no fault in her, which is probably related to her status as the second-in-command of the sect.

After all, he was practically a pillar of a sect, so he certainly couldn't be someone who couldn't speak.

This quest for Qi is an opportunity that the Water Transport Sect has been planning for many years. If successful, the Water Transport Sect will become one of the top ten sects in the Martial Dynasty.

For this reason, Fairy Qingchen has been in seclusion for many years, and Ye Kang is the first man of the opposite sex to speak with her in recent years.

Qin Miaomiao, on the other hand, was more carefree and easygoing. She was very talkative and chatty throughout the journey. Despite being nearly two hundred years old, she was still as innocent and carefree as a child.

Because of Qin Chen, she treated Ye Kang the best, often asking him all sorts of questions.

As for Princess Yu Lian, she remained aloof and never took off her veil. It's unknown how she made these two friends.

This trip to Buzhou Mountain was something the three of them had planned several years ago.

All four were at the ninth level of Nirvana, and their speed was extremely fast when flying at full speed. In just one day, they had already entered the territory of Kuizhou.

Upon entering Quebec, the snow on the ground was already ankle-deep. After all, it was located in the North, and it was only recently after the New Year, so snow was still falling heavily.

Looking around, the mountains and rivers are covered in white, the moon shines like silver, and there is snow everywhere, with not a single tree showing its green leaves.

Ye Kang had seen such a scene before. Back in the Great Jin Dynasty, he had visited the War God Cave in the north. There was not only snow there, but the ground was also covered in ice, and there was not a trace of soil to be seen.

The three female cultivators, who rarely saw such a picturesque snow scene, were all captivated by it.

"Such a beautiful scene, something that Kuizhou experiences every year. It's only a short distance away, yet it's completely different from Leizhou," Fairy Qingchen exclaimed.

Qin Miaomiao also scooped up a handful of snowflakes. She deliberately released her protective aura and felt the coldness of the snowflakes. She unconsciously said, "I've heard that the further north you go, the deeper the snow gets. In the deepest places, it can even submerge an entire forest. I really want to see it for myself."

"Unfortunately, Buzhou Mountain is not that far north. According to the route, we can reach it in another day. Buzhou Mountain connects the sky and the earth and is the highest point in Kuizhou. We only need to take one look to be sure that we will not mistake it."

Fairy Qingchen took out a map, her face radiating confidence.

Upon hearing this, Qin Miaomiao said, "In that case, there's no need to rush. I've heard there's a strange valley nearby where a precious plant of unknown grade grows. Consuming it can make your skin supple and youthful forever. Why don't we go take a look?"

Qingchen Xianzi smiled helplessly: "You, you probably already planned this out. With your cultivation level so high, are you afraid you can't stay young forever?"

Qin Miaomiao chuckled and said matter-of-factly, "How can they be the same? Who would complain about having more things that make them more beautiful? Besides, I've heard that this precious plant is much more effective than other research-aiding pills, especially for the skin, which is practically perfect. Sister Qingchen, aren't you tempted?"

Fairy Qingchen was naturally somewhat tempted, but she first looked at Princess Yu Lian and Ye Kang: "What do you two think?"

Princess Yu Lian nodded and smiled, "Since it's on the way, there's no reason not to go."

All three looked at Ye Kang; what could the latter possibly say?

He could only nod: "My mission is to protect the princess, so naturally I will go wherever she goes."

"Great!"

Qin Miaomiao looked excited, and then led the way, taking a detour towards the location of the snow-covered valley.

Clearly, she had already gathered enough information. Although it was her first time here, she felt as familiar with the place as if it were her own home.

The four of them soon arrived at the strange valley. A narrow, deep valley appeared in front of them, with thick snow covering both sides. The valley was deserted of birds and beasts and was extremely quiet.

Ye Kang released his divine sense, instantly enveloping the entire canyon.

After examining it carefully, a smile crept onto his lips.

"It seems someone else is thinking the same thing as us."

"What do you mean?" Qin Miaomiao was taken aback.

Fairy Qingchen immediately frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye is indeed powerful. Someone is hiding inside. It seems that they were frightened by us, rather than deliberately setting up an ambush."

Having said that, she flicked her sleeve, and a spiritual sound drifted into the valley.

“Fellow Daoists inside, we are not evil people, there is no need to be afraid.”

A moment later, snow was indeed shaken off, and three people climbed out of the snow, watching them cautiously.

These three were all dressed in northern attire, clearly locals, and their cultivation levels were not weak either, all at the early Nirvana stage. In a small county of the Martial Dynasty, they would be considered experts.

But faced with four complete cycles of Nirvana, all they could see was terror.

One of them said, "Fellow Daoists, we are martial artists from the Dragon Chart Sect. May I ask what brings you here?"

"So it's the Dragon Chart Sect. I know this sect. It's the third largest sect in Kui Continent, second only to the Azure Cloud Sea Sect and the Snow Eagle Sect. I heard that there is a Dao Integration Ancestor in the sect, but he hasn't appeared in public for a long time."

Qin Miaomiao immediately shouted.

The three men immediately nodded upon hearing this: "Fellow Daoist is right. We are indeed from the Dragon Chart Sect. We came here to collect Snow Soul Orchids for the sect. We never expected to meet you fellow Daoists so coincidentally."

The Snow Orchid is the beauty plant with excellent effects that Qin Miaomiao mentioned.

Fairy Qingchen nodded and said, "I see. We came from Leizhou and are on our way to Buzhou Mountain. We stopped by here on the way. Since you came first, please go ahead."

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. The Snow Soul Orchid is an unclaimed object, so please feel free to pick it."

"also."

Fairy Qingchen didn't stand on ceremony and immediately flew over.

Ye Kang followed them and entered the valley.

On the snow-covered cliff face, clusters of orchids, as beautiful as ice crystals, grew like mountain spirits.

One of the Dragon Chart Sect members laughed and said, "Fellow Daoists, you probably don't know the method of harvesting. Just use your true energy as a blade to gently cut off the flower. Be careful not to damage the plant so that you can harvest it again later."

"nature."

The group nodded gratefully, then formed two fingers into a sword, used their true energy to create a blade, and slashed, sending orchids falling into their hands.

Ye Kang also made a slash, and ten orchids appeared in his hand.

There are a large number of Snow Orchids here, nearly a thousand in total.

I never imagined that there would be such a treasure land in Kuizhou, where precious plants grow freely and no one picks them.

Ye Kang held the orchid in his hand.

The system sounded the next second.

【Ding】

[System Notification: Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Snow Soul Orchid]

[Snow Soul Demon Orchid: A rare poison in the world, colorless and odorless, it grows alongside the Snow Soul Orchid, with the same color, aroma, and taste, making it indistinguishable. Once ingested, its cold energy invades the Purple Palace, impossible to eradicate, and severely affects one's cultivation path.]

"what!!!"

Ye Kang was completely dumbfounded.

You bastard from the Longtu Sect, you're harboring evil intentions!

No wonder no one picks these Snow Orchids growing here; apparently, they can't tell which ones are poisonous and which ones aren't!

Thankfully, there was a system notification, otherwise this would have been a major disaster.

His face immediately darkened, and he stared coldly at the three people from the Dragon Chart Sect.

At the same time, the three people reacted instantly, their expressions changed, and they all retreated.

"Fellow Daoist, is there a problem?"

As soon as one of them spoke, Qin Miaomiao and the other two also looked at Ye Kang.

They didn't speak, but waited for Ye Kang to speak. After all, they had come together, and they naturally trusted Ye Kang.

Ye Kang said calmly, "Snow Soul Orchid, Snow Soul Demon Orchid, what a clever way to mislead people. Don't tell me you three didn't know?"

"not good!"

The leader of the three reacted immediately, and a powerful beam of light suddenly exploded, creating a terrifying blast on the spot.

This power has reached the peak of Nirvana. If it were an ordinary martial artist, they would probably die instantly, or at least be severely injured.

However, Ye Kang and the other three were all at the Ninth Rebirth stage, so they were able to react immediately and block the aftershocks of the explosion.

Ye Kang didn't care at all, and withstood the pressure of the explosion, grabbing with one hand.

In that almost instantaneous moment, the three figures vanished into thin air.

Ye Kang grabbed at empty air, and when he sensed again, there was no trace of their presence nearby.

"They really escaped quickly."

Ye Kang spoke coldly.

Princess Yu Lian and the other two were also freed from the aftershocks of the explosion. All three were somewhat disheveled, though not injured, but extremely angry.

"What happened! Why are they suddenly attacking us!" Qin Miaomiao shouted.

Fairy Qingchen then looked at Ye Kang: "Fellow Daoist, have you discovered something?"

Ye Kang recounted the story of the Snow Soul Orchid, and after listening, the expressions of the three of them darkened.

Qin Miaomiao, in particular, was so angry she was practically fuming.

"This is outrageous! The people of the Dragon Chart Sect are so shameless! They clearly want to watch us take the deadly poison without warning us at all!"

Qingchen Xianzi also sighed and said, "Human hearts are treacherous. We were just strangers who met by chance, but I never expected them to be so ruthless. I'm afraid that once we are poisoned, they will kill us and steal our treasures."

Princess Yu Lian also said angrily, "I had heard that Kuizhou was not a good place, and today I have seen it for myself. However, it is also our fault for being careless and not knowing the secret of the Snow Soul Demon Orchid. We are very grateful to General Ye."

She took the initiative to express her gratitude to Ye Kang, which was the first time she had shown him a kind expression since they set off.

After all, he genuinely saved them once.

Princess Yu Lian's slight impatience with Ye Kang immediately vanished.

Qingchen Xianzi also said gratefully, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ye. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. You were able to solve such a big problem."

Ye Kang shook his head: "It was just good luck. Let's go straight to Buzhou Mountain to avoid encountering this kind of thing again. And you don't need to be too angry. Those three self-destructed a top-grade spiritual treasure and used a teleportation treasure that consumes a lot of resources. They must have suffered huge losses."

"Even so, I will not let them off! Once I achieve the Dao Integration Realm, I will surely storm the Dragon Chart Sect and annihilate these beasts!"

Qin Miaomiao said angrily.

Ye Kang didn't say anything more. Instead, he discarded the indistinguishable orchids and flew straight towards Buzhou Mountain with the three of them.

As it turned out, his judgment was correct.

Although the three members of the Longtu Sect escaped with great difficulty, the losses were greater than he had imagined.

The three men appeared at the gate of the Dragon Chart Sect, their faces pale and as if they had exhausted all their inner energy.

"Damn it! I didn't expect anyone to know the secret of the Snow Soul Orchid. I miscalculated this time!"

"Senior Brother Zhang, we used the young master's teleportation artifact. How are we going to explain this to him?"

The other two were sweating profusely, as if they were afraid of something.

Before Senior Brother Zhang could answer, an extremely strong sense of oppression suddenly descended, forcing the three of them to kneel down without any power to resist.

A faint voice echoed: "I also want to ask, how do you plan to explain this to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome young man wearing a black overcoat slowly walked over.

With each step forward, the hearts of the three men pounded.

The reason was simple: this young man in black was Ouyang Jian, the son of the sect leader of the Longtu Sect.

He coldly looked down at the three people in front of him, his tone slightly angry: "I told you to go and pick some demonic orchids, and you actually used that magical treasure. Are you courting death?"

"Young Master, please calm down! We had no choice!"

Senior Brother Zhang immediately recounted everything that had just happened, but he also knew that simply telling the truth would not quell the young master's anger.

Therefore, he had already come up with another excellent reason.

He said anxiously, "Young Master, among the four people from the Wu Dynasty, three of them are exceptionally beautiful, especially the female cultivator wearing a veil. I have a feeling that she possesses a Daoist body and immortal physique, and she is the person you are looking for!"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ouyang Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know what the consequences of deceiving me are?"

"I know! That's why I would never dare to deceive the young master. Although I don't know the specifics, there is absolutely no doubt that it is a Dao Body or an Immortal Body!"

"If that's really the case, then I won't hold this against you. I've finally found the perfect furnace for someone with a Daoist body and immortal form!"

A glint of greed flashed in Ouyang Jian's eyes, and his scarlet tongue licked around his lips, making him appear exceptionally sinister.

Senior Brother Zhang said in a low voice, "Young Master, those four people are from the Martial Dynasty, and their cultivation is at the Ninth Stage of Nirvana. They are not to be underestimated, whether in terms of background or cultivation."

"It's alright. This is Kuizhou, not their damned Martial Dynasty. As long as we do it discreetly, no one will know it was me. After all, even the Heavenly King of the Martial Dynasty wouldn't dare to search the entire Dragon Chart Sect."

Ouyang Jian laughed without a care, and at the same time, the bell rang lightly, and a martial artist who had reached the Ninth Rebirth stage immediately arrived.

"Qiao Sansi, obey the young master's summons."

Ouyang Jian looked at the kneeling man and said disdainfully, "Go to Buzhou Mountain and investigate those four Wu Dynasty people. I'll also give you a chance to absorb some Qi. Don't disappoint me."

"After careful consideration, I will certainly not fail the young master's trust!"

With that, Qiao Sansi disappeared immediately.

Senior Brother Zhang asked in confusion, "Why doesn't the young master ask the patriarchs for help?"

Ouyang Jian glanced at him coldly: "Useless trash. Even this little thing requires the patriarch's intervention. Don't you have enough trouble already?"

"Young Master, please forgive me. Was I foolish, or was it that you considered things thoroughly?"

Ouyang Jian snorted coldly, ignoring them, and turned around, his heart burning with passion, to return to his dojo.

A supreme furnace cauldron possessing a Daoist body and an immortal form—after years of searching, I've finally found my opportunity.

This time, Yang Chu will surely succeed!
