Chapter 153: Refining the Jade Toad Spirit Stone

  Recently, there were rumors that someone found a Snow Crystal Spirit Stone in the Eastern Domain's snowy plains, which also triggered a fierce beast tide, resulting in heavy casualties among the mercenaries who were present on the snowy plains.

  And this time again, I don't know what's going on, the central region has another monster riot, and those monsters are killing again.

  The followers of those cultivators escaped in a hurry. Yi Chen hid himself among the crowd, for only here was the safest place.

  "Unexpectedly, neither the Wind Shadow Empire nor the Notti Empire can withstand the beast tide. It's truly disappointing." A voice that was almost inaudible rose from the crowd, its volume extremely low.

  "Huh?" The speaker was right next to Yi Chen. He turned his head and found it was that stout middle-aged man again.

  Although he looks stout in build, his running speed is extremely fast, and he looks very relaxed, obviously a master.

  The other party said such words, making Yi Chen feel very strange, could he have known that the demon beast would go berserk?

  The identity of this person in front of him made Yi Chen extremely curious, but in order not to attract the other party's attention, he quickly withdrew his gaze and pretended to be flustered.

  "Chirp!" From behind the beast tide, several eagle cries sounded, and several flying demon beasts rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

  "It's the Crown Prince of the Wind Shadow Empire, Liu Nuò, and the Little Princess of the Nuo Di Empire, Wei Na." Many people turned their heads to look back, and when they saw the person sitting on the flying magical beast, they exclaimed in surprise.

  "It's them." Yi Chen also looked up and saw the person sitting above, his eyes fixed on Liu Nuo's body, flashing a hint of coldness.

  At this time they looked very haggard, presumably having been attacked in the central region.

  "Look, an ice palace has risen in the central area." Shouts rose again from the back of the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to look towards the central area.

  "It's truly a palace."

  Yi Chen's face showed disbelief, and in the center of the snowy plain, a huge palace carved out of ice slowly rose up. It had no support, as if an invisible force was holding it up.

  "Could this be the legendary Ice and Snow Palace?" Many cultivators widened their eyes and exclaimed in unison.

  Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Yi Chen's eyes. He had indeed heard of the Ice Snow Palace.

  Rumor has it that in the Eastern Snow Plains, there is an ice and snow palace where countless treasures are hidden. A long time ago, a big shot entered the palace and obtained many treasures, among which was a Snow Crystal Spirit Stone.

  Since that legend spread, countless cultivators have come to find the legendary Ice and Snow Palace, but no one has really seen it for many years.

  "Hurry up! The monster is catching up!"

  A glint of greed and fervor flashed in the eyes of the crowd, but those magical beasts were getting closer and closer, they quickly withdrew their gaze and ran forward. Treasure is precious, but life is even more valuable!

  "Let's leave first and talk about it later, we'll find another chance to sneak in!" Yi Chen licked his lips, then looked up at Liu Nuo flying above his head, and escaped with a low-profile.

  Low-level cultivators died miserably under the claws of the magical beasts. Yi Chen and his group ran continuously for several hours before they finally escaped from the beast pack.

  "We're finally safe." The cultivators' group came to a stop, collapsing onto the ground and panting heavily.

  The people of the Wind Shadow Empire and the Notti Empire also stopped not far away, seeing such a situation, Yi Chen's eyebrows furrowed. If Liu Nuo knew he wasn't dead yet, he would definitely send someone to kill him.

  "I didn't think the Ice Palace in Dongyu Snowfield really existed, and it's not as safe as that fat guy said. On the contrary, it's very dangerous inside." Liu Nuo's face turned cold and said.

  "The Ice Palace is extremely dangerous, and with our current abilities, it's hard to break in. We must quickly notify the Empire's strong warriors to come." Wina stood on the back of the flying magical beast, speaking in a silvery voice.

  "Also wanted for arrest is that dead fatso, who actually sold us fake information. He must be crushed to dust!" Liu Nuo said harshly.

  "Listening to their tone, it feels like they've been cheated. Then who is he, daring to cheat both the Feng and Ying empires?"

  Their conversation was not low in volume, naturally falling into Yi Chen's ears, which made him wonder.

  At this moment, the middle-aged fat man not far from Yi Chen took out a bamboo hat and put it on his body. He then walked towards the vast white forest in the west. There were many people wearing bamboo hats here, and the departure of the middle-aged fat man did not attract attention.

  "He's gone." Yi Chen glanced at his departing back, and he vaguely felt that the middle-aged man was not simple.

  "It's better to leave now, can't let the people of Fengying Empire know that I'm still alive." A cold gaze swept over Liu Nuo and others, Yi Chen quietly withdrew from the crowd and also entered the forest.

  The beast tide won't recede so quickly, it's extremely dangerous to enter the central area now. Yi Chen found a safe cave here and chose to cultivate in it.

  "That ice palace has disappeared, could it have sunk back to the central region?" Standing outside the cave, Yi Chen turned his head towards the central region, a strange color flashing in his eyes.

  It was the first time that Yichen saw a palace that could fly up in the air without relying on anything, and that scene really made him feel shocked.

  "Judging from the desperate state of Liu Nu and others who just escaped, there must be a powerful alien beast inside. We can't rush in recklessly." After taking a deep look at the central area, Yi Chen then entered the cave.

  It was very spacious here, and Yi Chen found a large stone to seal the entrance of the cave directly, then sat cross-legged on the ground.

  He touched the black storage ring and Yi Chen flipped out the Yu Chan Ling stone. A wave of fluctuations was transmitted from the stone, and the sealed stone spirit in the stone kept colliding, wanting to break free.

  Yi Chen had obtained the Yu Chan Ling stone from the Dark River, but he hadn't had time to refine it yet. Now that the central area of the Ice Plains was temporarily inaccessible, he wanted to take advantage of the situation and make use of it for himself.

  Place the Yu Chan Ling stone in front of you, Yi Chen takes a deep breath, expels the distractions from his heart, and maintains an empty and spiritual state.

  "I'll take care of you today."

  His eyes fixed on the Yu Chan Ling stone, Yi Chen's hands began to weave a spell, a strong gust of wind stirred around his body, and then a red and yellow soul force surged out along his meridians.

  "With a whoosh" under Yi Chen's control, that majestic soul power enveloped the Yu Chan Ling Stone and seeped into it, transforming into four strands of soul power threads that wrapped around the stone through its limbs.

  "Whoosh" Yi Chen's hands moved in a strange gesture, the four soul force threads suddenly tightened, trying to pull out Shi Ling.

  "Guaguaguai" Shiling sensed an unprecedented crisis and struggled desperately to prevent Yichen from succeeding, with the two of them pulling each other back and forth.

  "Get out!" With a light shout in his heart, two veins flashed through Yi Chen's eyes, and the amount of soul power that seeped out was even more enormous. The four silk threads also thickened and enlarged, and with a sudden pull, he pulled Shi Ling out of the Yu Chan Spirit Stone.

  "Whoosh!" Separated from its body, the Yu Chan Ling Stone appeared extremely flustered. A dazzling light seeped out, and its body began to swell, transforming into a gigantic golden toad. It opened its huge mouth, emitting an overwhelming suction force that sought to pull Yi Chen in.

  "A minor skill." The reaction was extremely quick, and Yi Chen once again changed his technique. The beast soul that had been quietly staying in the dantian suddenly rushed out, stopping in front of him and starting to stir continuously, forming a whirlpool.

  A stronger suction force seeped out from the Beast Soul Vortex, and that Stone Spirit was instead pulled towards the Beast Soul Vortex.

  "Ah!" Shi Ling was greatly shocked and wanted to escape, but unfortunately, his four limbs were tied up by the soul force threads and he couldn't break free.

  "Come here!" The law changed again, and Yi Chen controlled the four silk threads. With the help of the beast soul vortex's suction, he directly pulled Shi Ling over.

  It also wants to escape, but it is powerless and swallowed by the vortex formed by the beast soul.

  Successfully pulled out and swallowed Shi Ling, but Yi Chen's face didn't show a hint of ease, the next step was the most dangerous.

  Xīn shén wēi dòng, yì chén jiāng shòu hún lā huí dào dān tián zhōng, chóng xīn biàn huí yuán xiān de mú yàng, cǐ shí néng qīng xī de kàn jiàn shí líng zài shòu hún zhōng chōng zhuàng.

  Quack

  A panicked voice kept coming out of Shiling's big mouth, it was constantly colliding in the beast soul, wanting to break free from the beast soul's restraint. Each impact would make Yichen's body tremble, a piercing pain spreading throughout his entire body.

  And every time after colliding, Shiling's body size will swell a bit bigger, and the impact force will be even stronger.

  That's the hardest part of taming a Shilie, if you can't subdue it, its body will get bigger and bigger until it bursts with beast soul.

  Yi Chen didn't dare to delay, quickly mobilizing the soul power in the beast soul, like a tidal wave rushing towards the stone spirit, wrapping it tightly and not letting it collide with the beast soul.

  "Ka ka" Shi Ling's body continued to expand, and it was seen that its body shook, and at the same time, it broke free from Yi Chen's soul power wrapping, and once again charged towards the beast soul.

  A dull thud echoed out, the beast soul violently trembled, and Yi Chen also felt a sweetness in his throat, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

  Excruciating pain arrived, and a fierce glint flashed in Yi Chen's eyes. His hands formed a seal, and under the turbulent surge of his soul power, a long arrow condensed and shot towards Shi Ling with earth-shaking might.

  ""Guā"" Shí Líng dodged too late and was shot through by Yì Chén's arrow. The toad's body suddenly dissolved like a gas and dispersed into the beast soul.

  "This is it?" Seeing this situation, Yi Chen's face showed confusion, had they really succeeded that easily?

  "Whoosh" Ke Yichen hadn't even had time to get excited when a surge of white gas emerged from every corner of the beast's soul, coalescing into an even larger toad.

  At this time, the body of this spirit stone was several times larger than before, with its sturdy limbs resembling a heavenly vault, containing an astonishing power.

  "Guā" Shi Ling was extremely furious, his sturdy hind legs kicked out violently, charging towards the Beast Soul.

  A deafening "Boom" sound rang out, and Yi Chen's body trembled, feeling as if the beast soul was about to be scattered at this moment.

  "A toad, you think I can't deal with you?" This situation made Yi Chen extremely angry, his heart coldly shouted, his soul power formed a giant sword, and once again chopped towards the reality.
