"Senior, are you fully recovered?"
Liao Pantu nodded at him. After stepping out of the ice coffin, he turned around and stored the ice coffin directly into his soul body.
Seeing him stuff the ice coffin straight into his soul body, Lin Xiao was not too surprised that his soul body could hold items. After all, he had used so many things before; where else could they have come from if not taken out of his soul body?
"What is the use of this ice coffin?" Lin Xiao asked.
After putting the ice coffin away, Liao Pantu told him:
"This is the Frost Ice Coffin. It doesn't have much use other than nourishing the soul. Back then, I thought it fit the scenery, so I took it out to use as a bed here."
Ever since he created the Soul Refining Art, many of the items he collected were related to souls.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao picked up the Soul Nourishing Pendant from the ground and asked him:
"Senior, do you still need this Soul Nourishing Pendant?"
"Yes." Having stored the ice coffin, Liao Pantu immediately dove back into the Soul Nourishing Pendant. "This Soul Nourishing Pendant is not bad. It works quite well for this part of my soul body for now. When you have time in the future, get me a higher-grade one. Let's go, let's go. We need to hurry out of here to avoid running into anyone later."
Thus, the two left the crypt. As they walked, Lin Xiao replied:
"Sure, when I have the time and materials in the future, I will definitely get you a higher-grade one. Then, Senior, how about you give me that bed made of the giant soul-nourishing wood?"
"No way! At most, I'll let you sleep on it!"
"Come on, won't you reconsider?"
...
Meanwhile.
In the very center of the entire ice cave, where a large number of buildings used to stand.
Hu Guanyu looked at the large, uneven crater here in utter shock.
Previously, seeing that Lin Xiao had not come to find him for such a long time, he was a bit worried that something might have happened to him, so he came back to check. Unexpectedly, he discovered that all the buildings here had disappeared!
In all likelihood, they had been dug up and taken away by Lin Xiao.
Beside him, Jiang Cheng was also extremely surprised by the sight before him. He muttered:
"When he was digging the ground here earlier, it turns out he wasn't thinking of digging a hole downward to get out..."
As he spoke, he suddenly realized something and said to Hu Guanyu:
"Brother Hu, maybe that guy knows something! Could these ice houses be the key to getting out? Let's go find him quickly; we can't let him run away by himself!"
Hearing this, Hu Guanyu frowned in disapproval and looked at him, saying:
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not even certain that he dug up these houses. Even if he did, what if he just liked these houses and wanted them? If you spout nonsense without evidence like this, what if someone with ulterior motives hears it and goes to cause trouble for him?"
Hearing him say this, Jiang Cheng immediately retorted:
"What cultivator would dig up a bunch of useless houses just because they like them? Besides, such huge things can't even fit into an ordinary storage bag or storage ring! These houses must be good stuff. Brother Hu, that Lin Xiao definitely has treasures on him! Those ice houses might be treasures too!"
Seeing his excited appearance when talking about Lin Xiao possibly having treasures, Hu Guanyu suppressed the rising disgust in his heart and said in a flat tone:
"What does it have to do with you if he has treasures?"
Hearing him actually say this, Jiang Cheng looked at him in surprise, then glanced at the Sky Profound Sect uniform on him and scoffed lightly:
"I am not like you, Brother Hu, coming from a major sect like the Sky Profound Sect. I am just a rogue cultivator with no one to rely on. I have to fight for whatever I want. A rogue cultivator who doesn't fight and snatch cannot survive in this cultivation world. Since you have no interest in the treasures on Lin Xiao, that's perfect. They'll all be mine later. Just don't get jealous then."
At first, he spoke up to remind Lin Xiao that digging a hole wouldn't get them out because he couldn't see through Lin Xiao's cultivation level. Seeing him so young, he guessed that he might be a powerful backer he could cling to.
But later, he found out that Lin Xiao actually took the initiative to invite Hu Guanyu to travel together and gladly agreed to let Hu Guanyu be the captain. In his heart, he had already concluded that Lin Xiao was not a formidable figure.
Now, learning that he very likely possessed treasures and knew the way out, his heart grew fervent.
If you fancy something, just snatch it!
Isn't everyone who cultivates immortality like this?
Anyway, if you kill the person, who would know?
As long as the treasures end up in your hands, all the benefits are yours.
During the two days in this ice cave, he had seen many remains. Around some of the remains, there were even storage bags scattered about, presumably left by cultivators who were trapped in this ice cave last year.
Most of those storage bags contained at least a suicide note, but that was not important.
What was important was that there were quite a few spirit stones and various treasures inside those storage bags.
Therefore, although he had been looking for a way out these past two days, he was actually mainly collecting the storage bags of these cultivators.
Not to mention, in these two days, he had really collected a dozen or so storage bags, and even a small storage ring!
The value of the treasures in the storage bags collected over these two days was far more than what he used to earn by diligently exploring secret realms or hunting demonic beasts in the Demonic Beast Forest every year! Even if he were given another five or ten years, he wouldn't be able to earn this many spirit stones!
How much cultivation time could this save him?
Anyway, a weakling like Lin Xiao would die by someone else's hands even if he didn't die by his. Rather than letting someone else benefit, he might as well benefit himself.
Seeing his self-righteous appearance, Hu Guanyu was very displeased and reminded him:
"Lin Xiao is our teammate. If you want to harm him, it means creating conflict within the group. As the captain, I cannot possibly allow this!"
Jiang Cheng didn't expect this disciple of the Sky Profound Sect to be so naive. His mind raced, and he quickly said:
"... Brother Hu, you're right, you're right. I thought about it carefully, and it is indeed wrong and inappropriate of me to act like this. I'm just a lowly rogue cultivator who has never seen big money, and I felt that the kid Lin Xiao has a way out but isn't telling us. I just got hot-headed for a moment and spoke without thinking. Don't take it to heart.
You see, I truly treat you as a teammate, which is why I tell you everything."
Seeing him suddenly bowing and scraping to apologize, Hu Guanyu looked at him with a calm expression, not knowing what to think in his heart, but verbally said:
"It's good that you understand. Since we are teammates, we must work together with one heart. Daoist Jiang, please don't let your head get hot and say such unreliable things again in the future."
At the same time, Yuan Zhiyun, who had gone out to seek cooperation with others, walked for a while after leaving the crypt before encountering someone.
After all, this ice cave was not the only gray spot in this Ice Plains Secret Realm. Not many people were randomly teleported into this ice cave each year, and the area around the crypt was relatively hidden, so it was normal not to run into anyone immediately.
She saw two people ahead pacing back and forth nearby with compasses in their hands, checking and recording everywhere. After pondering for a moment, she stepped forward, cupped her fists, and called out:
"Two Daoist friends, I am Yuan Zhiyun, the Young Master of the Yuan family in Yuanling City. I have a matter to discuss."
Hearing this, Liang Zhonghuai and Yu Guang stopped their surveying and recording work, looking at her in some surprise.
"May I ask what Young Master Yuan seeks us for?"

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
