"Thank you, Young Master Xiang. If you hadn't arrived in time, I can't even imagine what would have happened to us," said Han Chenfei gratefully.

  Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand. "Don't worry about that. Focus on recovery. I have something good for you ladies."

  A look of joy flashed past Han Chenfei's eyes. "Did you succeed?"

  "Hehe, you will know after you're well," said Xiang Shaoyun, keeping her curious.

  Han Chenfei nodded and once again sank into a process of recovery. She had an innate physique of frost. With the dense frost energy here, she would be able to recover quickly. As for the sisters, their injuries were lighter than hers, yet they were much slower to recover. Finally, seven days later, they had recovered greatly.

  The sisters were once again deeply grateful toward Xiang Shaoyun. Previously, they had thought that something bad had happened to him. But yet again, he had appeared to save them. They even suspected he was their destined lucky star.

  "Looks like you're mostly healed. Look what I have for you," said Xiang Shaoyun as he took out three jade cases.

  Han Chenfei accepted a case without hesitation and opened it immediately.

  "T-this is a crystal of extreme cold!" Han Chenfei cried out in alarm. She couldn't hide the intense excitement on her face.

  "Yes. Will this be useful to you ladies?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.

  Chapter 695: Don't Blame Me, You Need to Take Responsibility

  "Useful! Of course it's useful!" Han Chenfei was exceedingly excited. "The crystal of extreme cold is formed across a long period when the energy of extreme cold condenses. Moreover, with its crystal form, our absorption will be even easier as we don't have to absorb the energy of extreme cold under the lake. Young Master Xiang, you're amazing!"

  Han Chenfei was wild with joy. These crystals were not only useful for the sisters, but they could also help increase her strength.

  "It's good that these crystals are useful. One for each of you. Will that be enough?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.

  "Of course! Don't look down on each crystal just because of its small size. Each crystal contains a bountiful amount of energy. It is more than enough for us," Han Chenfei answered without a thought. But she soon recalled something as she approached Xiang Shaoyun and asked curiously, "Don't tell me you have more?"

  "Cough, cough. Yes, I still have a couple more," said Xiang Shaoyun.

  "Wow! Good! Good! Please, trade them all to me! I want them all!" Han Chenfei exclaimed like an excited child.

  In her excitement, she pressed toward Xiang Shaoyun, to the point he was almost touching her towering bosom. It reminded him of the tender sensation his hands had felt earlier, and inwardly, he muttered, What an alluring vixen.

  "I plan to leave the crystals for myself," he replied.

  Although he did not focus on ice cultivation, he could still absorb the energy within the crystal of extreme cold. After all, he had comprehended the profundity of ice and water. He could similarly make use of the power of ice during battle.

  Additionally, he also planned to sell some to the ice cultivators under the Overlord Legion so they could increase their strength. In short, he had many uses for the remaining crystals.

  "I don't care. You need to sell them to me. Or else, don't blame me. You will need to take responsibility!" Han Chenfei started acting like a spoiled child to get her way.

  In truth, her current look was rather adorable, completely unlike an expert ranked top 10 on the Dragon Phoenix List. Xiang Shaoyun had not imagined that Han Chenfei would have this side to her. For a moment, he was at a loss as to what to do.

  "What do I need to be responsible for?" Xiang Shaoyun asked blankly.

  "Hmph! You know what you did!" Han Chenfei snorted coldly, a somewhat bashful look on her face.

  Inwardly, she thought, Thinking of leaving after taking advantage of me? Dream on!

  Xiang Shaoyun would probably cry out in grief if he heard her inner thoughts. He had merely accidentally touched her while trying to save her. Was there a need to make a fuss out of it? By the side, the Han Clan sisters grew imaginative when they heard Han Chenfei's words, forming stories in their heads about the secret between Han Chenfei and Xiang Shaoyun. At the same time, a hint of jealousy filled their hearts.

  But when they thought of how Xiang Shaoyun and Han Chenfei were basically a pair of similarly talented individuals, they felt that the two were indeed worthy of each other. They couldn't even bring themselves to feel envy.

  "Fine, fine, I'll sell you one," Xiang Shaoyun submitted.

  "One? No, no, no. At least three!" Han Chenfei objected.

  "Why don't you go rob someone? One. Take it, or leave it."

  "Are you even a man? Why are you so stingy? What can the crystal of extreme cold do for you? Since you're selling them away anyway, you might as well sell them to me. I want three. Of course, if you have more, I'll take all of them. This young lady won't mistreat you!"

  "You think you're buying some common vegetable or something? Two. That's my limit. Either that or nothing!"

  ...

  After intense negotiation, Han Chenfei finally agreed to purchase only two crystals. Xiang Shaoyun felt incredibly wronged. The crystals were his, yet after he agreed to sell them, she still acted like she was the one who had suffered losses.

  He helplessly took out two crystals of extreme cold and said, "Consider the first three crystals my gift. What are you going to use to trade for these crystals? If you're going to just offer some trash, don't bother."

  "I know you cultivate nine different powers and require numerous treasures of different elements. I have a top-quality emperor medicine of the water element here. I also have some flame emperor-grade items that I had accidentally obtained. I also have more items of other elements. You can have your pick," Han Chenfei said before piling up a bunch of items on the ground.

  Each was worthy of an Emperor and was a valuable treasure. None was substandard, but in Xiang Shaoyun's eyes, these items were nothing and couldn't compare to the worth of a crystal of extreme cold. Or, to be precise, they weren't too useful for him.

  “I don't believe the great Glacier Palace young palace master will only have these things. Stop hiding and take out some really good stuff, or I'll just cancel the trade," said Xiang Shaoyun.

  Han Chenfei raised her brow and said, "Oh? Overlord, you have quite an appetite, huh?"

  She then took out another pile of items. When Xiang Shaoyun saw the second pile, a satisfied smile finally formed on his face. His gaze landed on a certain stalk of herb with triangular leaves.

  The stem of the herb was slim, yet its leaves were wide and triangular. It was greenish-yellow and odd, but it emanated an alluring medicinal fragrance.

  That herb was known as the wild triangle straw. Each leaf had a different medicinal effect. One could say that each stalk had the same price as several peak emperor-grade herbs.

  Next, his gaze landed on a battle technique manual.

  Dark Sky Engulfing Imprint!

  It was an early sovereign-grade technique, capable of unleashing considerable combat prowess. For a dark cultivator, getting this battle technique was akin to a tiger growing a pair of wings.

  Xiang Shaoyun did not have many battle techniques of the sovereign-grade, and he did not have any battle technique of the dark element. Thus, he had been longing to have one.

  "How about this, this battle technique and the wild triangle straw, and a few other emperor medicines," said Xiang Shaoyun as he pointed at the items he wanted.

  He was not planning to use the wild triangle straw for himself. Instead, he was preparing it for Vicious One, Vicious Two, and Vicious Three. Under the nourishment of the nine-colored fog, their bloodline power had grown considerably. In the future, they would be his capable helpers. Thus, he needed to first prepare some things for them.

  "Your greed is insatiable!" Han Chenfei glared at Xiang Shaoyun. "Fine, take them. I can't be bothered to bicker with a stingy man like you."

  Xiang Sh
aoyun's face turned ghastly. He really wanted to argue and ask how he was stingy when he had given them three crystals for free. After he took what he wanted, he handed two crystals to Han Chenfei.

  "What do you plan to do next?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.

  Just as Han Chenfei was about to reply, she pointed behind Xiang Shaoyun and cried out with a nervous expression, "Young Master Xiang, what's that behind you? We need to leave!"

  Chapter 696: Tricking the Old Frost Wolf

  Upon hearing Han Chenfei's words, Xiang Shaoyun did not even bother to turn his head. Instead, he sent his senses out and immediately saw what was going on. Behind him, a large number of frost wolves had appeared, with an elderly frost wolf in the lead. The elderly wolf was most likely the leader of the group.

  Its body was enormous and sturdy, and it had not grown weak due to its old age. Its white and shiny coat of fur was incredibly sleek, and its eyes, radiating viciousness, seemed to gleam with wisdom.

  The old frost wolf was most likely a Demon Sovereign. With its strength, it was capable of frightening Han Chenfei and the sisters. Furthermore, it had a large number of Demon Emperors behind it.

  Han Chenfei immediately dragged the sisters and fled. Even Xiang Shaoyun did not plan to stay.

  "Youngsters, do not be afraid. This old wolf is not here to create trouble for you," said the old frost wolf.

  Xiang Shaoyun and Han Chenfei stopped when they heard those words.

  Han Chenfei took the initiative to ask, "Lord frost wolf, how may we help you?"

  The demons placed great emphasis on vows, and since the old wolf had promised not to create trouble for them, he wouldn't attack.

  "I am not looking for you. This young man is the one I'm looking for," said the old frost wolf as he looked at Xiang Shaoyun.

  Xiang Shaoyun pointed at himself in astonishment. "Lord frost wolf, you're looking for me?"

  "Yes, I need to discuss something with you. Can we have a talk?" the old frost wolf asked.

  Inwardly, Xiang Shaoyun rolled his eyes, Look at the fuss you have created. Would I dare to say no?

  "Well, since you're looking for him, we'll take our leave," said Han Qianwei as she hurriedly dragged the sisters away.

  Han Qianwei and Han Xuewei were unwilling to leave, but they knew they couldn't do anything. Thus, they left with Han Chenfei.

  That disloyal woman! Xiang Shaoyun grumbled inwardly. He then looked at the old frost wolf and said, "Lord frost wolf, how may I help you? Tell me, and I won't hesitate if it is in my ability to help."

  As he spoke, he patted his chest, showing an expression that he would definitely fulfill his promise.

  The old frost wolf asked, "You've met Lord Frost God, right?"

  "Lord Frost God? You talking about the black tortoise?" Xiang Shaoyun asked in astonishment.

  "Looks like you've really met him. I knew he's here guarding his people," said the old frost wolf with a look of veneration.

  "Howl!"

  The old frost wolf raised his head and howled.

  The other frost wolves did the same, filling the entire iceberg with their howls. The disciples cultivating in the area were greatly frightened, as they thought the wolves were going to attack.

  When the wolves finally stopped howling, the old frost wolf pleaded, "Since you can survive an encounter with Lord Frost God, it can only mean that the lord looks highly upon you. Can you please bring me to see the lord? I have something to say to him!"

  Xiang Shaoyun broke out in cold sweat as he thought, Bring you to him? I might as well bring you to see some ghosts. If this young master sees that tortoise again, I'll probably die.

  Xiang Shaoyun coughed and started making up a story. "Lord Frost God hates to be disturbed. He has been slumbering in cultivation. Anyone daring to disturb him will be punished with a miserable death."

  The old frost wolf believed every word and sighed, "True, Lord Frost God will not easily show himself. If he shows himself, you humans will probably vanish from this place. Since you can have an audience with the lord, it means the lord approves of you. In the future, you are an honored guest of the frost wolves. Consider these the gifts from us for our first meeting."

  After saying that, the old frost wolf spat something out. The pile he spat out were all treasures of the frost and water elements, such as the icemist flower, the blue coral, the spiral edge carapace, and so on.

  Most of these treasures were at the emperor grade, but a few of them were incredibly rare that any Emperor would covet. Xiang Shaoyun had not imagined that a simple lie would earn him such benefits. For a moment, he even felt somewhat embarrassed to accept the gifts.

  “Lord frost wolf, you are too polite. I haven't helped you at all," said Xiang Shaoyun courteously, but his action said otherwise as he stowed all the treasures away, as if he was afraid the old frost wolf would renege on his words.

  "No, just by telling me Lord Frost God is still alive is already a great favor," said the old frost wolf. "With Lord Frost God here, we, the frost wolves, will forever be under his shelter. Our clan will pass on forever!"

  Only then did Xiang Shaoyun realize how high a status the black tortoise occupied among the frost wolves.

  "Don't worry. The lord is growing stronger and stronger, and he will live on and keep watch on this place forever," Xiang Shaoyun could only continue lying, helping them maintain their faith.

  Sure enough, the old frost wolf started howling in excitement. Next the old wolf even invited Xiang Shaoyun to cultivate above the iceberg. Currently, the frost energy there was much denser. With the protection of the frost wolves, he did not need to fear the disturbance of other beasts either.

  Overjoyed, Xiang Shaoyun quickly expressed his gratitude. After the old frost wolf passed an order among the frost wolves, they dispersed.

  As for Xiang Shaoyun, he went and looked for Han Chenfei and the sisters. They were at the iceberg's outer fringe and had gathered with the other Glacier Palace members. They were considering leaving.

  "You weren't actually ripped apart by the frost wolves? How lucky!" Han Chenfei smiled and said.

  "Woman, you're really vicious!" Xiang Shaoyun said. "But why are you leaving?"

  "We have been here for more than a month. Both Qianwei and Xuewei have fully exhausted their contribution points. If we stay, they will be punished," said Han Chenfei.

  "But we haven't resolved their problem. How about this. I have quite a lot of contribution points, so I can sponsor them. It's not too late for them to leave after the issue is fully resolved. After all, this place is suited for their cultivation, and the frost wolves have agreed to let us cultivate in their territory. They will be providing us protection. This is a rare chance," said Xiang Shaoyun magnanimously.

  The offer greatly touched the sisters. Even Han Chenfei saw Xiang Shaoyun in a new light.

  "Ok, I'll stay behind with them. Can you do me a favor and send the others back?" Han Chenfei asked.

  "No problem," Xiang Shaoyun agreed.

  Chapter 697: Flame Mountains

  Xiang Shaoyun arranged for Han Chenfei and the sisters to cultivate at the frost wolf territory. He also gave all his contribution points to the sisters. In the past, he had been accumulating contribution points so he could enter the nine cultivation zones. But now that he could enter for free, he was in no rush to accumulate more.

  In any case, he had already helped the sisters a lot, so he might as well finish the job. The sisters were incredibly moved, and they vowed that they would die for him if required. And thus, Han Chenfei and the sisters stayed behind while Xiang Shaoyun brought the Glacier Palace members away.

  It was unknown whether the academy had some agreement with the beasts in the sea, but they weren't attacked during their return trip. The group directly returned to the academy. Xiang Shaoyun left with his water star completely full. Next, he returned to his villa to let the Overlord Legion members know that he was safe.

  At his villa, he learned that Zhuge Zhantian had ent
ered the Forest of Antiquity while Ma Qihao and the others had gone out on missions for contribution points. Only Lady Shura stayed behind to guard the villa and cultivate.

  After receiving the gold elemental treasures from Xiang Shaoyun, Lady Shura had been working hard to enter the third-stage Dragon Ascension Realm. She was currently only one step away from succeeding.

  Xiang Shaoyun did not want to distract her, so he called over the members that cultivated the power of flame. He was going to enter the Flame Mountains next. His comprehension on the power of flame was rather deep, but he still had yet to comprehend the profundity of flame. He wanted to use this chance to comprehend it and fill up his flame star.

  Soon, 12 Overlord Legion members arrived, and they were all flame cultivators that weren't out on a mission and could enter the cultivation zone with Xiang Shaoyun. Instead of resting, Xiang Shaoyun took them straight to the Flame Mountains.

  The so-called Flame Mountains zone was actually a zone with a series of continuous volcanoes. Some volcanoes were still active and would occasionally spit lava, while others had been dormant for many years. A unique species resided at the Flame Mountains, and they were known as the flame spirits.

  The flame spirits were formed of pure fire, and their intelligence wasn't exactly high, yet they had incredible flame power. Moreover, there were a lot of them, and the moment one intruded upon their territory, they would attack together regardless of who the intruder was.

  On the other hand, if one killed a flame spirit, one would be able to absorb a strand of pure flame spirit blaze from the dead spirit and enhance one's flame star. The strand of pure flame spirit blaze contained a trace of flame origin energy, and it was helpful in greatly enhancing a flame cultivator's cultivation.

  Because of that, many cultivators would form groups to hunt these flame spirits to increase their cultivation speed. However, among the disciples, the ratio of flame cultivators was rather high. Thus, the competition at the Flame Mountains was intense, and conflicts could arise easily.

  The power of flame was at its peak in this environment, so Yu Caidie and Yu Ziyang, the Flaming Sun leader, practically stayed here all year long with their identities as special priority disciples.
