Chapter 660: A Futile Battle

The woman in the palace skirt sat on the high seat, her jade feet slightly raised, looking at the Ice Demon King with a playful expression.

"Mu Ji, have you finished refining the elixir I asked for?" The Ice Demon King's eyes were fixed on the woman in the palace skirt on the throne, and he asked anxiously.

"Of course it's ready!"

The woman in the palace skirt flicked her fingertips lightly, and a crystal clear wooden box jumped out of the storage ring. The lid of the box opened slightly, and an ice-blue jade-like elixir appeared in sight.

The rich elixir fragrance was accompanied by a hint of chill, and the temperature around it dropped quietly. The elixir spirit appeared and turned into a majestic ice-blue toad.

"This is the seventh-level Taoist elixir - Ice Clam Spirit Pill!"

The Ice Demon King's eyes suddenly lit up, and in his excitement, the cold air on his body resonated with it, becoming more turbulent.

At this moment, the old man in green robe standing beside him was also horrified. He swung the wooden staff in his hand suddenly, and a green light instantly protected him. However, the light was covered by frost in an instant, crackling, and almost shattered, frightening the old man in green robe to retreat in a hurry.

"This is five thousand top-grade spirit stones, which is the reward you deserve. Give me the pill quickly."

The Ice Demon Emperor quickly restrained his coldness, and at the same time, he took out a bag of spirit stones from his arms and threw it to the woman in the palace skirt without hesitation.

The woman in the palace skirt took the bag and accepted it without hesitation, but did not return the pill to the Ice Demon Emperor.

This move made the Ice Demon Emperor unhappy.

"Mu Ji, you have accepted the reward, should you give me the pill?" The Ice Demon Emperor asked anxiously.

The woman in the palace skirt smiled at this moment and said, "I failed three times before I succeeded in refining the Ice Clam Spirit Pill. It took me countless efforts. Five thousand top-grade spirit stones are just enough for me to barely break even."

"What exactly do you want... Just say it, what else do you need!"

The Ice Demon King frowned, and he had heard the hidden meaning of the woman in the palace skirt. Obviously, he was not satisfied with the five thousand top-grade spirit stones. This temporary increase in price made him angry, but he didn't dare to tear his face easily.

Because he was seriously injured at this moment and was poisoned by fire, which caused the breath in his body to be disordered. He often couldn't control the outbreak of cold air, causing the northern demon area under his jurisdiction to suffer frequent cold disasters in the past three hundred years. His subordinates were miserable, and the southern Fiery Demon King repeatedly took this opportunity to humiliate him.

But he didn't dare to use force easily. Once he was angry, it would only accelerate the erosion of the fire poison.

"I need some high-level spiritual water, whether it is level 7 or level 8, please help me get it as soon as possible. One Ice Clam Spirit Pill is definitely not enough to suppress your injuries! If you help me find it, I will pay you separately!" The woman in the palace skirt raised her lips slightly, revealing some unquestionable determination.

"High-level spiritual water? Humph, you are asking for too much." The Ice Demon King had a gloomy face, but a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and asked with concern: "What do you want this spiritual water for?"

"You shouldn't ask, don't ask! If you do things well, you will definitely get benefits!" The woman in the palace skirt looked at the Ice Demon King deeply and ordered coldly.

The woman in the palace skirt continued leisurely: "The first place is the seventh-level spiritual water, named 'Netherworld Cold Spring', located in the extreme north, hidden deep under the ten thousand year old ice, and its water is extremely cold. The second place is the seventh-level 'Heavenly Spiritual Flame Water', hidden in the core area of ​​the East Region Fiery Mountains, which is a strange place where volcanoes and spiritual springs coexist. 'Heavenly Spiritual Flame Water' is formed by the intersection of volcanic geothermal energy and underground spiritual springs. It is extremely yang and fierce, and has a miraculous effect on harmonizing yin and yang and nourishing the body.

"As for the third place, it is the more rare eighth-level spiritual water - 'Blue Sea Tide Sound Dew', which only appears in the depths of the endless sea. It is naturally condensed by ten thousand year old corals and seabed spiritual beads after years of changes. This water contains the source of the sea, which can wash away all filth and reshape the foundation of the body. "

"Any one of these three can be exchanged for your Ice Clam Dao Pill, and I, Mu Ji, will never be stingy with the subsequent rewards. "The woman in the palace skirt said in a very seductive voice.

Hearing this, a trace of greed flashed in the eyes of the Ice Demon King. If he could find these high-level spiritual waters, not only would his injuries be healed, but he might also take this opportunity to increase his strength and avenge his previous shame.

"Okay! Mu Ji, I promise you. But you must first give me the Ice Clam Dao Pill so that I can suppress the fire poison in my body, otherwise, how can I have the ability to find these rare things?" The Ice Demon King put forward his own conditions, with a tough tone that could not be negotiated.

The woman in the palace skirt chuckled, as if she had expected it. With a wave of her jade hand, the Ice Clam Dao Pill flew slowly towards the Ice Demon King as if it had a spirit, and stopped on his palm.

"The deal is done, Ice Demon King, don't let me down. "The voice of the woman in the palace skirt echoed in the empty hall, with a hint of expectation.

Watching the Ice Demon King turn into an ice-blue light and break through the air, the woman in the palace skirt, Mu Ji, retracted her sight.

At this time, the old man in the green robe couldn't help asking: "Lord Mu Ji, this demon king seems a little unreliable. Relying on him to search for high-level spiritual water, it is better to hand it over to my subordinates. I will take people to search, which is definitely more reliable than him."

"Forget it! You and I are both wood demons who have achieved enlightenment. Compared with him, we are not as good as him in terms of traveling and finding things. Although the Ice Demon King has a bad temper, he is also a hegemon in the demon world, with his own means and power." Mu Ji looked deep, shook her head and smiled.

Hearing this, the old man in the green robe frowned slightly, and seemed to be still a little worried: "But if he gets the elixir and doesn't fulfill his promise, won't we be empty-handed?"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Mu Ji's lips, and she said calmly: "He doesn't dare. Although this Ice Clam Taoist Pill is precious, to me, it is just something that comes easily. If he dares to betray me, I will have my own means to make him regret it." and."

The green-robed old man nodded silently and said in a deep voice: "If we find these three kinds of spiritual water, will it definitely help the Green Wood Tree Ancestor recover his spiritual consciousness?"

Muji nodded lightly, with a complicated expression: "Water produces wood, this is the principle of heaven and earth. High-level spiritual water does have a nourishing effect that cannot be underestimated for the wood demon clan. However, the situation of the Aoki Tree Ancestor is complicated. It has been imprisoned for thousands of years, and its spiritual consciousness has been severely damaged. Even with the help of high-level spiritual water, it will take time to slowly recover. "

"As for the ninth-level divine water, it exists in legend and has the effect of changing fate against the heavens. However, such divine objects are rare in the world, and it is difficult to find traces of them in the spiritual world. All we can do is try our best. Looking for high-level spiritual water to help Aoki Ancestral's recovery."

The green-robed old man looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "In your opinion, how much help can these three high-level spiritual waters help the recovery of Tree Ancestor?"

Mu Ji smiled slightly and explained: "The 'Netherworld Cold Spring' is from yin to cold. Although it is contrary to the attributes of the tree ancestor, if it can be used skillfully, it can help it reconcile the yin and yang in the body and stabilize the injury. The 'Tianling Flame Water' is to Yang is extremely strong, nourishing the body and restoring health. The power of restoration has miraculous effects. 'Blue Sea Chao Yin Dew' contains the power of the sea, which can wash away all filth and has an immeasurable nourishing effect on the damaged spiritual consciousness of the tree ancestor. As for when it can fully wake up. ’, I’m not sure either.”

The old man in the robe frowned and said worriedly: "Doesn't that mean that even if we find these three kinds of spiritual water, the recovery of the Green Wood Tree Ancestor will be extremely long?"

"That's true. But even so, we can't give up any hope. Although the seventh- and eighth-level spiritual water cannot cure him, it can buy him precious time and give us the opportunity to find a more effective treatment method." Mu Ji sighed and said helplessly.

…

After the Ice Demon King flew out of the space inside the tree, he immediately found a hiding place and couldn't wait to start refining the precious Ice Clam Dao Pill and swallowing it.

After the elixir entered his belly, the Ice Demon Emperor felt a cold and pure power rising from his dantian and quickly spreading throughout his body. This power echoed the cold air in his body, but it also carried an indescribable vitality and vitality, as if it could wash away all the filth and pain in his body.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, using all his demon power to guide the medicinal power to travel along the meridians and impact the acupuncture points and tendons damaged by the fire poison. Every time I passed by, there was a sharp pain, but what followed was a more transparent and comfortable feeling.

As time went by, the fire poison in the Ice Demon King's body seemed to be gradually forced back by this cold force, and the originally chaotic aura slowly returned to stability. He could feel that his strength was gradually recovering, and there was even a faint tendency to break through the bottleneck.

Just as the Ice Demon King recovered part of his injuries and was about to set out to search for high-level spiritual water, he suddenly remembered something, and his spiritual mind swept away and he immediately found the target.

At this time, Li Mu and Xiao Jin were in a spiritual medicine shop, purchasing some rare high-level spiritual seeds. At this moment, they suddenly felt an inexplicable spiritual force coming over them, and their hearts trembled.

Li Mu immediately understood the general situation and looked outside the pharmacy.

I saw the Ice Demon King flashing and appearing outside the shop. He was surrounded by a faint cold air, and his eyes were like thousand-year-old ice. He was looking directly at Li Mu and Xiao Jin. His appearance caused the temperature in the shop to drop sharply. There was an oppressive and dangerous atmosphere in the air.

"Master!" Xiao Jin noticed the cold aura of the eighth-level demon king and instantly became alert.

"It's okay, no need to be nervous!" Li Mu comforted him in a deep voice.

Facing the eighth-level Demon King's lock, Xiao Jin felt pressure, but with his master around, he didn't have much to fear.

The Ice Demon King descended in front of them, his eyes flashing with ice, and he said to Xiao Jin in a superior manner: "The blue-eyed golden ape, the seventh-level true spirit, is really rare. This friend, I wonder if he is interested in coming to my house." As a guest?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Huh? Are you looking for me? Are we familiar?" Xiao Jin pointed to himself, with a confused look on his face.

Li Mu was also puzzled. The Ice Demon King had turned a blind eye to them before, but now he came to them. The target was obviously Xiao Jin.

"To be honest, I think you are a seventh-level true spirit with a solid foundation and good strength. I would like to invite you to serve as a palace elder in my palace. I don't know what to do!" The Ice Demon Emperor looked at Xiao Jin and stated his intention bluntly.

Hearing this, Xiao Jin curled up his lips, and another person came to ask him to be his subordinate. Before, the Demon Emperor Tianxu sent the little Demon King to be the leader. Now the Demon Emperor came in person and asked him to be the elder.

What good is it to live under someone else's roof? Wouldn't it be nice to follow the master and eat and drink?

"Sorry! I'm not interested!" Xiao Jin refused without thinking.

However, before Xiao Jin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Mu: "The position of palace elder sounds quite noble, but..."

Li Mu deliberately lengthened his tone and said with a hint of worry: "We are new here and don't know much about the situation in your mansion. Furthermore, Xiao Jin is used to acting freely. I'm afraid it will be difficult to adapt to the sudden duty under the Demon Emperor."

Hearing this, the Ice Demon King did not show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "I understand. I am abrupt. However, I am sincere. If you two are willing, you can follow me back to the palace first and learn more before making a decision. Moreover, there are many rare treasures hidden in my palace, and there are many cultivation resources, which are very helpful for improving your cultivation. You two may consider it."

"Master, what do you mean?" Xiao Jin looked at Li Mu in confusion and asked in confusion.

"This demon king thinks so much of you, why not go there?" Li Mu smiled and accepted the invitation.

Hmm? Master? This human boy is actually the master of this seventh-level true spirit? The Ice Demon King was very surprised. He looked at Li Mu carefully and found that this human was only at the level of fusion. This surprised him and made him even more angry.

The dignified seventh-level true spirit of the demon race actually surrendered to humans. However, since this human race was willing to go with him, he didn't have to worry about it. He just needed to take them away from Wan Yao City first and then find an opportunity to deal with them.

As for this seventh-level true spirit, with his strength at the peak of the eighth-level mid-term, he could easily deal with it.

After thinking it through, the Ice Demon King smiled and urged: "Since this friend has said so, let's set off now."

"Okay!" Li Mu naturally agreed.

Although Xiao Jin was full of doubts, he still followed Li Mu's wishes.

The group left Muhua Street and rushed towards the outside of Wan Yao City.

Not long after the three left the huge city surrounded by demonic energy, something unexpected happened.

The Ice Demon Emperor's face suddenly turned gloomy. He suddenly stopped in mid-air, his eyes piercing Xiao Jin like a knife, and asked sternly: "How can a dignified seventh-level true spirit, the glory of our demon clan, be inferior to humans? Break off relations with him immediately, hand over your heart and soul, and submit to me, otherwise, today will be the day of your fall!"

As he spoke, the Ice Demon Emperor's body was filled with cold air, and a terrifying demonic aura swept out, as if to freeze the world. His eyes were full of coldness.

"Let me break off relations with my master? Serve you as my master, what a joke!" Xiao Jin's eyes widened, and he was furious.

Li Mu was a little stunned by the sudden change of face of the Ice Demon Emperor, but then he was relieved. The Demon Emperor was also a demon, with unpredictable thoughts, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and changing his face faster than turning a book. He should have expected it.

"Today, this emperor will clean up the door for the demon clan and let you understand what is respect and inferiority!" The Ice Demon Emperor said grimly.

Before he finished speaking, the Ice Demon King's body was filled with coldness, and the whole world was frozen by his cold intention. He suddenly attacked, and several ice cones condensed with extreme coldness shot towards Xiao Jin and Li Mu with a whistling sound.

Xiao Jin was shocked, and never expected that the Demon King who had greeted him with a smile before would suddenly attack. In a hurry, he could only reveal his true form in a hurry, transformed into a golden giant ape, and sacrificed his life weapon-Golden Gang Dragon Snake Stick, forming a diamond shield to resist the attack.

"Dang!" The ice cone collided with the Golden Gang Dragon Snake Stick, making a deafening sound, and the golden light and the ice blue light intertwined, bursting out a strong energy fluctuation.

Xiao Jin fought hastily, but his strength was there after all, and the power of the seventh-level true spirit should not be underestimated.

However, the power of the ice cone was even more amazing, and Xiao Jin's huge body was blasted away. .

At the moment when Xiao Jin was blown away, Li Mu's figure suddenly disappeared, as if he had merged into the air, leaving only a faint afterimage.

"Huh? This human boy actually..." Seeing this, the Ice Demon King's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary human boy would have such a strange body movement and could disappear without a trace under his nose.

However, the Ice Demon King soon discovered Li Mu's trace, frowned, and felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart for no reason, because he noticed that the human boy was weird, and there seemed to be no tension or uneasiness on his face. This invisible pressure made him feel very uncomfortable. (End of this chapter)
