Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Chapter 267: Cold Marrow Cave and Ice Beast

Lu Yuguan was escorted by two disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall, passing through the winding mountain roads of the Xuanyu Sect and heading towards the Hansui Cave.

"Why would the Holy Son interfere in my affairs?"

Lu Yuguan muttered to himself.

Thinking back to Qi Wei's ice-blue eyes and that strange question, he felt even more confused.

"Could it be that I'm really related to that Koi Fairy?"

Lu Yuguan shook his head, trying to put these distracting thoughts behind him.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest [Danfeng Takeout]]

[Reward: 188 Civilization Value]

……

The system prompt sounds at the right time.

"What?"

"The money arrived so quickly?"

Lu Yuguan said in surprise.

[Host, thank goodness Qi Wei helped you keep the takeaway, otherwise all your previous efforts would have been in vain]

The system said.

"In that case, I really have to thank him."

Lu Yuguan said.

【Host, have you forgotten? 】

"what?"

He is the Son

"and then?"

[When you first crossed over, you were planning to make a furnace for him.]

"Fuck, yeah!"

Lu Yuguan shuddered all over, feeling that her chastity was once again at risk.

"so……"

"You mean, he helped me this time for a purpose?"

[Host, take care of yourself, 886! ]

Lu Yuguan wanted to cry but had no tears: "Tong-chan, save me, I don't want to be gouged again."

"You're not a little boy anymore. Three times the limit is enough. Just be more careful next time!"

The system said kindly.

Lu Yuguan: ...

Ah shit.

It wasn't the one being gouged, so how could it know the pain?!

……

The Hansui Cave is located in the frozen mountains at the northernmost end of the Xuanyu Sect. The cold air inside the cave is so intense that it is said that even the spiritual power of the cultivators will be frozen.

"arrive."

A disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall said coldly, and then pushed open the stone door of the Cold Marrow Cave.

A biting cold air hit him in the face, and Lu Yuguan couldn't help but shiver.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the cave.

The stone door slowly closed behind him, and the cave suddenly fell into darkness, with only the occasional flickering ice crystals on the cave wall emitting a faint light.

Lu Yuguan groped his way forward. The ground beneath his feet was as smooth as a mirror, obviously covered with ice all year round.

He carefully mobilized the mental strength in his body, trying to resist the cold.

But he soon discovered that it seemed extremely difficult to operate mental power inside the cave.

"It's worthy of being called the Cold Marrow Cave..."

Lu Yuguan smiled bitterly.

This is just the beginning of entering the Cold Marrow Cave, and we have to survive for the next five days.

"Roar--"

Just as he was thinking, a low roar suddenly came from the cave.

Lu Yuguan's heart tightened and he immediately listened carefully. The sound seemed to come from deep in the cave.

"Could there be monsters in this cold marrow cave?"

Lu Yuguan was startled, then quickened his pace and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

As he went deeper into the cave, the cold grew stronger, and even breathing became difficult.

Lu Yuguan had to stop and adjust his state.

If I continue like this, let alone reaching the bottom of the cave, I might be frozen to death by the cold because my mental strength recovers too slowly.

"No, we have to find a way to keep warm..."

Lu Yuguan thought to himself.

He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and tried to mobilize the fire of mind in his body.

"Xia Huo Li Yang!——"

However, the cold air in the Cold Marrow Cave seemed to have life, constantly eroding his mental strength.

"Damn..."

Lu Yuguan gritted his teeth and continued to try.

"Xia Huo Li Yang!"

"Xia Huo Li Yang!"

After trying it ten times in a row, he still couldn't use the soul technique.

Just when he was about to give up, a warm feeling suddenly surged in his mind.

Lu Yuguan was delighted and immediately seized the opportunity to guide the warm current in front of him.

Suddenly, a thin barrier of mind fire unfolded in front of him.

Although this barrier was extremely weak, it appeared exceptionally bright in the darkness of the Cold Marrow Cave.

Lu Yuguan continued to move forward under this faint light.

Finally, he saw a huge ice beast.

"Oh my god..."

"This is too big..."

Lu Yuguan was shocked.

The ice beast is shaped like an elk, and its entire body is transparent, as if it is made of ice.

It has two azure horns on its forehead and its eyes flicker with a faint light, making it look very strange in the darkness.

"Golden Core Stage Monster Beast!"

Lu Yuguan felt the breath of the ice beast and was stunned.

If it were before his dantian was sealed, he might have had the confidence to fight the ice beast.

But now he only has a little mental strength left. In terms of current combat power, he is almost the same as a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Lu Yuguan didn't dare to breathe and moved back little by little.

However, with just a slight friction of the toes, the ice beast sensed Lu Yuguan's presence.

It slowly turned sideways and stared at him closely.

"Oops!"

Lu Yuguan's heart tightened and he immediately prepared for battle.

"Roar……"

The ice beast slowly stood up, its huge body almost occupying the entire space of the cave.

Lu Yuguan swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to look away for a moment.

In an instant, the ice beast opened its mouth and pounced towards Lu Yuguan.

"I rely on!"

"You're running so fast, are you wearing roller skates?"

Lu Yuguan gritted his teeth, dodged quickly, and pushed the barrier in front of him forward.

"Xia Huo Liyang, go!——"

However, as soon as the barrier touched the ice beast's body, it was frozen by the cold air and turned into ice crystals that dissipated in the air.

"The coldness of this ice beast is so powerful!"

Lu Yuguan was shocked and quickly retreated to distance himself from the ice beast.

However, the ice beast was extremely fast and caught up in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yuguan had no choice but to mobilize his mental fire again to fight against the ice beast.

However, the cold air of the Cold Marrow Cave continued to erode his mental strength, making it difficult for him to concentrate.

Lu Yuguan felt his consciousness gradually becoming blurred and his body began to become stiff.

"broken!"

"The cold air is too strong, the furnace can't turn, and my mental strength is recovering too slowly..."

Lu Yuguan gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay awake.

However, before he had time to adjust himself, several low roars were heard from the cave.

Lu Yuguan's heart tightened.

"Are there other ice beasts?"

……

At the same time, Li Chonglin stood on the cliff of Tianjian Peak, looking towards the Hansui Cave in the distance, his eyes full of worry.

"Five days..."

"Yuguan, can you hold on?"

Li Chonglin murmured softly, and the dragon-patterned sword in his hand trembled slightly.

He was unable to enter the Hansui Cave to help Lu Yuguan, and could only pray silently here.

Taoist Changping stood silently behind him without saying a word.

"Master, can I wait for him outside the Cold Marrow Cave?"

Li Chonglin turned and looked at Taoist Changping behind him, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

Taoist Changping shook his head and said calmly, "Han Sui Cave is a forbidden area of the sect. No one is allowed to enter unless they have a warrant from an elder."

Li Chonglin clenched his fists, a hint of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

Taoist Changping saw that he was frowning and asked, "Are you still struggling?"

"Master, I..."

Li Chonglin hesitated to speak.

Taoist Changping glanced at him and said, "Instead of complaining, you might as well practice swordsmanship more and break through to the Golden Core stage sooner."

"It won't be too late for you to go find him after five days."

Li Chonglin was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
