He thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up: “However, there is one person who might be able to give us some clues.”
“Who?” asked the Red Cloud Demon Lord hastily.
“Xuantian Sword Sect Leader, Ling Yunzi.”
David said, “The Xuantian Sword Sect is a prestigious and just sect with a long history on Tenth Heaven. Their understanding of the geography, resources and secrets of Tenth Heaven definitely far surpasses that of the two of us.”
“Especially the Eternal Ice Plains where the Thousand Year Ice Soul Blood Lotus is located, the Sword Sect may have some records or even have explored it.”
Hearing that, the Red Cloud Demon Lord’s face beamed with joy: “Very good! However I am a demon cultivator, and I was worried that rushing to the Profound Heaven Sword Sect might be possible”
“It’s okay.”
David waved his hand, “Sect Leader Lingyunzi is not a chatty person, and I have just helped the Sword Sect out of trouble, so I still need to maintain some dignity. Without further ado, let’s set off for the Xuantian Sword Sect.”
David’s injury has basically stabilized, and he has also begun to adapt to the new cultivation level. Now it was time for him to explain the next things to Ling Yunzi.
Without delaying any longer, David rolled up his sleeves and, with the Red Cloud Demon Lord by his side, turned into a swift beam of light, flying towards the Xuan Tian Sword Sect in the Ten Thousand Sword Mountains.
……
After several days of repairs, the Xuantian Sword Sect, although still showing traces of a great battle, had restored order in the sect and was working hard to repair its protective array, exuding a vibrant energy that came from successfully crossing the calamity.
When David arrived at the mountain gate with the Red Cloud Demon Lord, it immediately alerted the disciples on guard.
However, after recognizing David, the disciples all showed respectful and joyful expressions, and quickly bowed respectfully and announced the news.
Not long after, Ling Yunzi, after receiving the news, personally came out of the mountain gate to welcome them.
His wounds had not healed, and his face was still somewhat pale, but his spirits remained high. He was overjoyed to see David return safely.
“Senior Chen! It’s great that you’ve returned safely!”
Ling Yunzi cupped his hands in greeting, then looked with some hesitation at the Red Cloud Demon Lord beside David, whose aura was deep and clearly a demonic cultivator. “And who is this Daoist?”
“Sect Leader Ling, this is Fellow Daoist Chi Yun, an old friend of mine from the Nine Heavens.”
David gave a brief introduction, without going into details of the Red Cloud Demon Lord’s background, to avoid unnecessary trouble. “I came here today to ask Sect Leader Ling something.”
Upon seeing that it was David’s old friend, Ling Yunzi, even though the other party was a demonic cultivator, still politely cupped his hands and said, “So, you are Fellow Daoist Chiyun. Nice to meet you. Senior Chen and Fellow Daoist Chiyun, please share your thoughts. I will answer all your questions.”
The three entered the main hall and sat down as host and guest.
David went straight to the point, telling Ling Yunzi about the Nine Turn Rejuvenation Pill and its core ingredient, the Thousand Year Ice Soul Blood Lotus, that the Red Cloud Demon Lord needed, and showing him the jade scroll containing the pill formula.
After listening, Ling Yunzi’s expression became serious.
He took the jade scroll and carefully examined the description of the Thousand Year Ice Soul Blood Lotus, his brows furrowing slightly.
“Millennial Ice Soul Blood Lotus. This thing is indeed recorded in the records of my Xuantian Sword Sect.”
Ling Yunzi spoke slowly, “As written in the pill formula, this plant only grows in the Blood Soul Cold Pool, the core area of the Eternal Ice Plains in the far north.”
“The Eternal Ice Plains is one of the most famous forbidden areas in the Ten Heavens. The temperature there is extremely cold all year round, with strong winds like blades. The environment is extremely harsh, and even ordinary Heavenly God cultivators have a nine out of ten chance of dying if they enter the area.”
“And the Blood Soul Cold is one of the most dangerous and mysterious forbidden areas on the Ice Plains. It is said that the water in the cold pool is extremely cold and contains a strange blood poison that can erode spiritual power and the soul. There may also be unknown and powerful beasts hiding in the pool.”
“Brother Daoist Chiyun, apologize for my rudeness, but obtaining this ‘Millennium Ice Soul Blood Lotus’ is extremely difficult and full of danger.”
“Moreover, this plant only flowers once every hundred years, and its flowering period is very short. If the timing is wrong, even if you get to the cold water pool, you will go home empty-handed.”
“According to our sect’s records, around three hundred years ago, a senior at the eighth rank of the Immortal Lord realm ventured into the depths of the ice plains and seemed to have discovered traces of the Blood Soul Cold Pool. However, he returned with heavy injuries and did not obtain the Blood Lotus. Instead, he damaged his Dao foundation.”
