Mortal: The Number One playboy of the Chaotic Star Sea

Chapter 175 The Ice Soul Fairy and the Ice Phoenix

As Han Li's figure disappeared, Ji Yin glanced at Qing Feng and the other two who had not yet made a choice.

"What exactly is Qingyang Sect plotting? Do they also want to seize the cauldron? Oh well, we'll find out when we get to the inner hall."

Ji Yin unconsciously scratched his head, feeling a slight itch on his scalp.

After Ji Yin disappeared into the passage, Qing Feng bowed to Elder Jia of the Star Palace.

"Elder Jia, could you do me a favor? I would like to go to the pavilion where the cultivation techniques are kept."

Qingfeng respectfully bowed with his hands clasped.

"The third one from the left."

Elder Jia said.

The fairness of the Star Palace is relative; it is only fair to its own people.

"Fellow Daoist Man, Fellow Daoist Qing, the Grand Elder will make arrangements after we enter the inner hall."

Elder Jia then looked at the bearded man and said.

"Understood, our Qingyang Sect will keep our promise."

The bearded man waved his hand, then he and Qingyi chose a passage and went inside.

The Void Heaven Palace poses no danger to Nascent Soul stage cultivators like them.

The techniques and ancient treasures awarded in the reward stages have limited use.

"Thank you, elders."

With a smile, Qingfeng stepped into the cultivation passage.

After a moment of disorientation, he opened his eyes.

What appeared before him was a vast space.

There was a white jade bridge several tens of feet long in the space, leading to a four-cornered pavilion floating in the air on the other side.

The plaque above the pavilion reads "Tian Guang Ge" (天光阁).

"Tianguang Pavilion? I remember Han Li's magical pavilion is called Baoguang Pavilion."

Qingfeng crossed the white jade bridge and arrived at the entrance of the pavilion.

The entrance is a simple, semi-circular archway, about two zhang high.

There was a yellow light curtain blocking the door.

Qingfeng took a step forward and, through the light curtain of the archway, appeared before him rows of jade bookshelves, each about ten feet tall.

The bookshelf has many individual empty spaces, each containing a jade slip or scroll.

"Based on the Ice Soul Fairy's methods and the Star Palace's operations, the techniques on the surface are definitely all ordinary stuff."

Rare, top-tier martial arts techniques must be hidden in a secret chamber.

Qingfeng recalled Han Li's process of obtaining the treasure and summoned the Gold-Eating Insects to search the first and second floors of the pavilion.

Soon, he discovered an unusual wall.

"I knew there was a secret room here."

Qingfeng stepped forward and tentatively examined the area.

There was a very hidden shielding barrier on this wall. If it weren't for the Gold-Eating Insect's keen sense of spiritual energy, he probably wouldn't have been able to discover it.

There are generally two methods to break a restriction: one is to break it with skill, and the other is to break it with brute force.

As for Qingfeng, he can combine skill with brute force.

A moment later, with a "pop," the restriction was broken.

He used his arms to push open a gap in the wall and crawled inside.

This is a small, independently set-out space, about the size of a typical quiet room, with smooth, mirror-like walls that gleam with a spiritual light.

There were no bookshelves or jade platforms in the space; all the collections floated quietly in mid-air, each emitting a halo of different colors.

Upon seeing these halos, Qingfeng's breath caught in his throat.

As far as the eye could see, there were at least seventeen or eighteen orbs of light floating in this space.

Each ray of light contained a jade slip, a roll of animal hide, or a piece of gold foil inscribed with ancient characters.

The orbs of light varied in color, including crimson, golden white, turquoise, black, and earthy yellow, each corresponding to a martial art based on one of the five elements.

"These are all ancient cultivation techniques!"

Qingfeng scanned these orbs of light with his divine sense and could feel an ancient aura.

He focused his gaze on the crimson ball of light closest to him.

The ball of light was about the size of a fist, and inside it, a fiery red jade slip was slowly rotating.

"A top-tier fire-attribute technique; it looks quite extraordinary."

A quick sweep of his divine sense revealed a scorching heat, far surpassing that of ordinary fire-attribute techniques.

However, he did not choose this manual, but looked at the other side instead.

Within a ball of golden-white light, a roll of silver animal hide emanated a sharp sword aura.

The moment his divine sense touched it, a scene of ten thousand swords being unleashed simultaneously, tearing apart the sky, appeared in his mind.

"A top-tier sword technique based on the metal element!"

Qingfeng was slightly tempted, but still did not make a move.

He continued to look, and found that the azure-green light contained a wood-attribute cultivation technique, the jet-black light contained a water-attribute cultivation technique, and the earth-yellow light...

For a moment, I was dazzled by what I saw.

"Any one of these techniques is a rare and top-tier technique."

Once I've mastered the deduction technique to its full potential and then integrated it with my current cultivation method, there will definitely be a significant improvement.

Qingfeng muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping back and forth among the orbs of light, pondering whether or not to take them.

But he quickly regained his composure.

These top-tier cultivation techniques are certainly valuable, but they are not what he urgently needs.

"Are there any different ones?"

So he began to examine each item in the collection more carefully.

His gaze first swept over those top-tier cultivation techniques that shone with dazzling light.

It then landed on some seemingly inconspicuous orbs of light.

These orbs of light were squeezed into a corner, their radiance relatively restrained, unlike the more flamboyant techniques in the middle.

These orbs of light were squeezed into a corner, their radiance relatively restrained, unlike the more flamboyant techniques in the middle.

Finally, his gaze stopped.

In the deepest corner of the space, two orbs of light were close together.

The light they emitted wasn't dazzling, it was even somewhat dim, but when Qingfeng's divine sense swept over it, he discovered something unusual.

Within the first cluster of light was a notebook with an extremely antique style.

The notebook was about three inches thick, with a cover made of a dark blue animal hide that I had never seen before, the edges of which were slightly curled.

Its cover had no text, only a silver array mark, and the pattern of the mark was extremely complicated. Qingfeng only glanced at it and felt that it was different from others.

"The Ice Soul Formation Manual!"

He reached out and beckoned the ball of light to him. After just one glance, he felt several ancient characters appear in his mind.

The brushstrokes are detached and aloof, carrying an air of arrogance that looks down upon the world.

"Could this have been left behind by the Ice Soul Fairy?!"

Qingfeng suppressed his excitement and turned his gaze to the second ball of light beside him.

Inside the ball of light was a thin booklet, only about twenty or thirty pages long, with a cover made of pale gold animal hide.

"The Phoenix Clan's Insights? This... Did the Ice Soul Fairy study the Phoenix Clan back then? Could it be the Ice Phoenix?!"

When those words appeared, Qingfeng's breath caught in his throat for a moment.

Others might not recognize the value of these two items, but he knew them perfectly well.

Ice Soul Fairy can be said to be Ice Wind's most formidable opponent, who subdued him to the point that he dared not leave the North Sea.

"It's like finding a needle in a haystack! I've obtained the remnants of the Ice Fairy!"

Qingfeng was just worried that his understanding of teleportation arrays had hit a bottleneck when he came across the tutoring materials.

He immediately waved his hands, opening all the spirit beast pouches on his body and releasing the gold-devouring insects inside.

Taking any reward from the treasure vault will teleport you out.

To take both books, you'd need to cheat using the Gold-Eating Beetle.

He made a hand seal, and gold-devouring insects covered his entire body, their mouths constantly spitting out and inhaling, isolating him from spiritual energy.

"Three, two, one!"

He silently counted to three, and then simultaneously grasped the two orbs of light with both hands.

The moment he got his hands on the item, he felt a dizzying sensation, and then he disappeared from the hidden space.

After he left, the hidden wall of Tianguang Pavilion returned to its original state, continuing to await the next destined person to discover it.
