Demon's Diary

Chapter 508: Cold Pool

Liu Ming went straight to the secret room after returning to the cave house.

As soon as he stepped into the secret room, he patted the soul-recovering bag on his waist with one hand, and a black gas rolled out. After the mist rolled for a while, the silver Bone Scorpion the size of a palm appeared and jumped over his shoulder.

“Master…” Bone Scorpion’s tender voice came from his ears.

Liu Ming stretched out his hand and stroked the back of Bone Scorpion, then he placed the original soul-recovering bag on the ground, made a gesture, and lightly touched it. The silver spirit patterns appeared and flickered on the bag, then a large amount of cold air swept gushed out of it.

He immediately threw the upper grade soul-recovering bag he just bought into the air, and he made a gesture simultaneously. The black spirit patterns on the bag shone. A powerful suction force came out from the opening of the bag.

After the nearby negative qi condensed slightly in the air, it surged into the leather bag.

After a while, the negative qi in the original soul-recovering bag in the secret room was absorbed by the upper grade soul-recovering bag. Liu Ming then grabbed in the air, and the new soul-recovering bag flew into his hand.

After Liu Ming briefly communicated with Bone Scorpion, he patted the soul-recovering bag, and Bone Scorpion turned into a black gas that was sucked into the bag.

“Master… the new… bag… is much more comfortable.” The girl’s soft voice came from his ear again. There was a trace of joy in her words.

“Very good, as long as you think it is comfortable.”

After confirming that Bone Scorpion was adapting to the new soul-recovering bag, Liu Ming safely put the leather bag on his waist. He sat cross-legged, took out a jade box, and pointed at it with a finger.

“Swoosh“.

As soon as the lid was opened, the small crimson sword flew out of it, floating on top of a ten meter large array.

At this moment, Liu Ming chanted as he launched a series of symbols at the small crimson sword.

The red spiritual sword in mid-air trembled constantly, and dense red runes emerged from it, bursting open with a constant buzzing sound and turning into countless sparks.

The crimson sword slowly spun in the sparks.

After half an hour, Liu Ming groaned. He then stopped his gesture. The crimson spiritual sword sparkled and circled in the air. The first layer of enchantment became clearly visible.

Due to the improvement of the realm and the “Flame Cultivation Scripture” in hand, Liu Ming had greatly shortened the time to sacrificial refine this intermediate grade spiritual weapon with only twelve enchantments.

One day and one night later, Liu Ming finally completed the sacrificial refining of all the twelve enchantments of this intermediate grade spiritual weapon. After waving in the air, the crimson spiritual sword turned into inch size and flew back into his hand.

Liu Ming kept the small sword with satisfaction and walked out of the secret room.

After a short rest, he left the cave house again and flew on a black cloud toward the location agreed with Jin Yuhuan.

……

The next day, the sky was still dark, and the entire Thousands Spirit Mountain vein was still silent.

On one of the hills, a middle-aged woman with a white robe, after looking around, quietly left her cave house. She flew into the sky on a cloud.

A few hours later, in the long mountain range more than a hundred miles away from Thousands Spirit Mountain, the middle-aged woman found one mountain which was only hundreds of feet high and unusually short and landed on it.

At this moment, on this mountain, a young man in a green robe was sitting cross-legged under a big tree.

Suddenly, the corner of the young man’s eyes moved slightly. He slowly opened his eyes. After looking at the middle-aged woman, he smiled and said, “I didn’t expect Miss Jin’s disguise skills to be so brilliant, it’s really impressive.”

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu is being modest, am I not easily recognized by you?” The middle-aged woman smiled, then she made a gesture and patted her head. A gush of white ist surged out and covered her.

When the mist gradually dissipated, the woman suddenly became a beautiful girl; she was Jin Yuhuan.

The young man in a green robe was naturally Liu Ming who was waiting here in advance.

“At this time, Miss Jin is the only one who can appear here.” Liu Ming said with a smile.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu, sorry for letting you wait.” Jin Yuhuan said with a smile.

“Miss Jin, you don’t have to be polite. Let’s go now.” Liu Ming said calmly.

Jin Yuhuan slapped the leather bag on her waist, and a wisp of gray mist rolled out. After a sharp chirp, the gray mist turned into a gray bird about the size of a foot.

The woman pointed at it in the air.

The bird suddenly flapped its wings, and its size immediately increased several times. It became tens of meters in size with strange white spirit patterns covering its body.

After the two got on the back of the giant eagle, Jin Yuhuan patted the back of the giant eagle lightly. The giant eagle immediately spread its wings and rose into the air, setting off gusts of wind. They flew straight in a certain direction.

…

At the same time, a certain mountain of Thousands Spirit Mountain was white and straight as if it were a huge blade. In the cave house somewhere at the foot of the mountain, the young man with a sharp-jaw and thin face and the short man who threatened Jin Yuhuan in the market were respectfully reporting something to the young man in brocade with a narrow face.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Sha, someone saw Junior Sister Apprentice Jin suddenly leave her cave house early this morning, and she did not go back since then. This seems a bit strange. Should we send more people to look for her?” The young man with a sharp -jaw and thin face rolled his eyes and said to the young man in brocade.

“No need, I know where she went. You all don’t have to intervene in this matter.” The young man in brocade sat on the wooden chair in the hall and kept twirling the jade thumb ring in his hands, and said lightly.

“Since senior fellow apprentice has decided, then we won’t bother you.” The young man with a sharp-jaw and thin face bowed to the short young man before turning back and leaving.

After the young man in brocade pondered quietly on the chair for a while, he suddenly sneered, got up suddenly, and strode out of the cave house. He turned into a green sword rainbow and dashed through the air.

…

More than ten days later, Liu Ming and Jin Yuhuan appeared in front of a towering mountain. At first glance, the mountain was densely covered with some strange dark green trees, which seemed a bit gloomy.

After a short while, the giant eagle flew past the tall mountain, and a narrow valley appeared below them.

Jin Yuhuan raised her and launched a yellow talisman. After it exploded in the air, a sharp explosion echoed in the valley.

After a dozen minutes, two middle-aged men in white robes flew up from the valley.

“Miss, you are here finally. This is…” When the two men saw Jin Yuhuan’s arrival, they first looked happy, and then they showed a little alertness when they saw Liu Ming on the side.

Seeing this, Liu Ming just used mental power to make a rough scan. The two men were both at the Spirit Apostle intermediate stage. He didn’t speak immediately, but he closed his eyes and rested on the giant eagle’s back.

“This person is Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu. He is here to help me with some matters. You two have been holding the valley entrance, have you seen anyone come here recently?” Jin Yuhuan asked.

“Reporting to Miss, since you left last time, no outsiders have been here.” One of the men with triangle eyes replied.

“That’s good. You two continue to guard the valley entrance. Don’t let strangers in. Immediately inform me by voice transmission as soon as there is a situation.” After Jin Yuhuan’s beautiful eyes turned, she ordered a few words, patted the giant eagle, and flew in directly with Liu Ming.

Half an hour later, the giant eagle landed on a rather flat high slope.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu, we are here.” After Jin Yuhuan spoke, she took the lead in jumping off the giant eagle.

After Liu Ming’s figure shook, he silently appeared beside the woman.

Jin Yuhuan waved his sleeves. After the giant eagle chirped, it turned into a gray mist again and went back into her waist leather bag.

Then, the woman led Liu Ming to a cliff near the high slope. She took out a jade pendant and shook it in front of a black stone wall.

After the blue light flashed on the cliff, a rumbling sound came from inside.

A huge stone cave tens of meters high suddenly appeared in front of them. Traces of cold air rolled out from inside. The entrance of the cave was enveloped by a light blue light curtain.

Jin Yuhuan beside him took out a red talisman calmly, crushed it, and patted it on her body. A red light shield enveloped her. There was a faint flame on her body, and it was exuding a warmness.

Liu Ming didn’t do anything. As a Physique Cultivator, he didn’t care about this cold air.

Jin Yuhuan took a step forward, made a gesture, and tapped lightly at the light curtain. A white light flashed.

After the blue light curtain flashed a few times, it disappeared out of thin air.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu, let’s go.”

After the woman spoke softly, she walked into the stone cave. After Liu Ming looked around, he walked in leisurely.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the cave, there was a blue glow behind them; the blue light curtain appeared again.

The cave was supposed to be dark and secluded was illuminated by the reflection of light on the layer of crystal clear ice on the stone wall. The gray stalactites on the top of the cave had already become sharp icicles. A few icicles would drop from time to time, making a breaking sound.

Except for some gray boulders, there was almost no grass in the cave. The deeper they went, the colder they felt. The strong wind could make them feel a chill down their spine.

Jin Yuhuan glanced back. Liu Ming smiled slightly at her to show that he was fine, then the two continued to walk deeper.

After a dozen minutes, they came to a huge rock cave, and most of the grotto was occupied by an acre of a black and secluded pool.

The cave walls around the pool had long been covered by thick layers of ice, glowing with a faint light.

A thin layer of black mist floated faintly above the water pool. There was a thin layer of ice on the surface. A gust of cold wind suddenly blew. The water vapor was mixed with black mist, turning into dense ice particles that hit on their bodies.

Jin Yuhuan’s red light shield was trembling slightly under the beating of ice particles. The faint fire light on the outer layer of the shield had become vague. The entire light shield gradually dimmed.

…

Almost at the same time, outside the valley, a whistling sound came from the distant horizon suddenly. A cloud of white light blasted toward this place.

After the light faded, a white triangular flying car stopped right above the valley entrance.

On the flying car, a young man in brocade stood on it with his hands behind his back. He looked down with an expressionless face.
