C539 surrogate death
That day, Yang Junshan had first used the Mountain Lord's Seal to shatter the layer of ice on the surface of the ice plains, then he had accidentally put himself in a difficult position, so he had directly smashed his entire body into the layer of ice. While casting the Earth Spirit Splitting Technique, he had also made contact with the ground beneath the thick layer of ice several zhang deep.
The ice crumbs that had shattered above Yang Junshan's head ambushed him the instant he smashed into the ice layer. The howls of the bears and the cries of the condors could still be heard above his head, and even tremors were transmitted to Yang Junshan through the ice crumbs above his head.
However, once Yang Junshan came into contact with the ground, his life was no longer in danger. He gathered more and more Zhen Yuan in his body and forced himself to use the Earth Escape Technique. When he crawled out from under the ice layer again, he had already appeared under an ice cliff more than ten miles away from the southern part of the iceberg.
However, just when Yang Junshan revealed himself at the bottom of the ice cliff, a huge falcon flew over his head, scaring Yang Junshan into retreating back to the ice layer. After an incense stick of time, there were no longer any movements around and he came out from the ice layer.
At this moment, Yang Junshan didn't know anything about the surroundings. He didn't know if the beast tide was just passing through, or if it swept through the entire glacier area, or if the beast tide would continue to expand, wreaking havoc on the ice plains.
What was the reason for this beast tide battle? Was there some sort of scheme behind it?
Yang Junshan and Jiahui had discovered the cultivators of the Ice Berserker Tribe when they were being chased by the beast tide. Then, could it be that the Ice Berserker Tribe was just one of the masterminds behind this beast tide?
Yang Junshan didn't know anything about this, not to mention that he was injured, so he was only left with thirty percent of his power. He had to be cautious.
Yang Junshan's eyes gradually turned white. It seemed as if two balls of white frost were gathering in his eyes, causing him to feel a chill down his spine.
The dense cloud above his head had originally obscured his vision, but now he could see it clearly and let out a sigh of relief. When the cold eagle had circled over his head, there was still a cold eagle patrolling about in the thick clouds. The two cold eagles, one bright and one dark, looked like a patrol; if Yang Junshan had immediately left the ice cliff, he might have been discovered by this cold eagle hiding in the clouds.
After waiting for a while, Yang Junshan noticed that the falcon had left the clouds. He looked around and didn't find any more wild or savage beasts spying on him. After that, he came out of the icy cliff and quickly left towards the south.
A few days later, Yang Junshan was finally able to leave the glacier area and return to the ice plains. Although he had been cautious along the way, he was inevitably detected by the eyes of almost the entire glacier area, and had to deal with a few more wild beasts. Luckily, he had not met any alien cultivators like the Ice Barbarian Clan on several occasions, so without their guidance, it would not be difficult for Yang Junshan to get rid of them, even though he was severely injured.
In the past few days, Yang Junshan had been moving stealthily in the glacier. He had realized that the entire glacier was under the control of the wild and wild beasts.
The only thing Yang Junshan regretted was that he did not find any traces of Jiahui along the way, and did not know if he had escaped danger.
After exiting the glacier, Yang Junshan didn't encounter any more ice beast on his way south, nor did he encounter any more human cultivators entering the ice field.
Three days later, Yang Junshan came to the base he had previously built under the ice hill in front of the Cold Hawk Lonely Mountain. There was a simple protective array set up by Yang Junshan here, and it was one of the moves Yang Junshan had prepared just in case when he was chased down by the Xuan Star Realm cultivators on the ice plains.
These days, Yang Junshan was travelling on the ice field. Not only was his injuries not getting better, but they were also getting worse. If it wasn't for his tough body, he would have been frozen to death on the ice field. Even so, his injuries couldn't be delayed.
In the nest under the ice hill, Yang Junshan took out all the pills he could use to heal his wounds. Other than the emergency pill, the rest were all spirit level pills, which had little effect on Yang Junshan.
One of these two storage bags belonged to Qi Min. Back then, Yang Junshan had used a precious technique to compete with Qi Min, and in the end, the array formation had been stronger than him. With his severe injuries, Yang Junshan had used the price of destroying the Five Elements Thunder Light Spiritual Array to kill him.
In that battle, Yang Junshan won with a risky victory. In the end, the precious technique Qi Min had used was the Snow Wind Sword Sect's secret technique, the "Heavenly Sword Qi". This was one of the 247 most powerful techniques in the cultivation world, and it was much more powerful than Yang Junshan's "Earthshaking Mountain Tactics".
The only pity was that after Qi Min died, the flying sword also shattered.
The other storage bag was naturally picked up by Yang Junshan from the fallen junior brother Qiao. At that time, there was a certain risk as well.
Both storage bags were sealed with the secret technique of the Snow Wind Sword Sect. Although the owner of the storage bag was already dead, if he wanted to forcefully break it open, he would still be able to destroy a large portion of the contents in the storage bag. However, there was nothing he could do about that, unless Yang Junshan could learn the secret technique that the Snow Wind Sword Sect used to seal storage bags.
Yang Junshan obviously couldn't wait that long. He just forcibly opened the two storage bags. Except for the things that were destroyed in the process of the space shattering, the rest of the items were scattered all over the floor.
Yang Junshan first looked at Qi Min's broken storage bag, but was greatly disappointed. Only a few items remained, the rest must have been shattered the moment the space broke.
"Ha, an Ice Essence Stone. So he was also collecting this kind of thing!"
Yang Junshan looked at the crystal stones in his hand, and felt more regretful than before.
This sort of treasure that could directly use the essence of the world's energy contained within to increase its cultivation level would only appear every few years during the cold wave and was extremely rare. This was also the reason why Liu Qiu and Pure Yuan Spirit were so excited when they first found the Ice Essence Stone.
Previously, with the help of the thousand-year-old ice silkworm, Yang Junshan was able to find the nests of Ice Foxes and Ice Bears on the ice plains, which was why he was able to collect five or six Frozen Origin Stones. This Qi Min clearly did not have the means of Yang Junshan, but was actually able to collect a few Origin Stones.
At this point, Yang Junshan had already accumulated nine Ice Essence Stones. Although to Yang Junshan, each one of these stones only had half of its original effect, nine of them had even made him think of breaking through to the Astral Transformation Stage.
Aside from the Frozen Origin Stones, Qi Min only had a few dozen jade coins left in his storage bag. One jade stone was equivalent to twenty crystal coins, which was two thousand jade coins.
There were a total of 50 jades in this pile, which meant that Qi Min carried with his the equivalent of 100,000 jades. He didn't know why he brought so many jades, but it was all to Yang Junshan's benefit now.
Apart from these two items, the rest of the junk were all things that Yang Junshan didn't like. After tidying them up a little, he kept them all in his storage ring. He didn't like these things, but they were practical items for the martial arts cultivators of the Yang family.
Compared to the disappointment of this Qi Condensation cultivator, Junior Brother Qiao, the gains from this Qi Condensation cultivator made Yang Junshan overjoyed!
The first thing that caught Yang Junshan's attention was the jade plate in the middle of a bunch of random items. With this item, generally speaking, the inheritances would be at least on the same level as spiritual arts.
After sending his spiritual consciousness into the jade board and encountering so many life and death dangers, Yang Junshan finally felt lucky again!
The Substitute Feather Technique could use a Substitute Feather to replace a cultivator in the face of death!
In Yang Junshan's opinion, this was a precious skill that could not be traded for a skill that could save one's life at a critical moment. Yet, this skill was recorded in a jade plate!
However, Yang Junshan thought about it, although a substitute feather was extremely rare in the cultivation world, it wasn't too difficult to practice, and it was just like normal spiritual arts and supernatural powers. Therefore, it wasn't strange for it to be recorded in the inheritance jade board.
Yang Junshan had personally witnessed the technique of the substitute feather. It was with this technique that Junior Brother Qiao escaped from the encirclement of the condor. If it wasn't for his bad luck, he wouldn't have perished in the end.
Yang Junshan felt that the adventure he went through was worth it even more than what was passed down in the secret manual for the Body Substitute Feather technique. Moreover, the collection of this Junior Brother Qiao was not just limited to just these.
These were special jade bottles used to store precious pills. Hopefully there was a special healing pill inside, otherwise, it would not be easy for Yang Junshan to travel across the Northern Frozen Plains and Liangzhou with all his injuries.
Three treasured pellets, one was the "Life Gathering Pellet" that Yang Junshan urgently needed to heal, one was the "Origin Setting Pellet" that could be used to stabilize his cultivation. The third treasured pellet made Yang Junshan's eyes bulge out, and even his own face showed a hint of doubt as he mumbled, "Could it be the 'Yuangang Pellet' that could be used to break through a bottleneck in the Astral Transformation Realm?"
