205: Act separately

After Zhou Xingtong agreed, Lin Feng went alone to the Land of Extreme Cold to search for the thousand-year ice lotus. The place was filled with snowstorms and biting cold Qi. Relying on his tenacious willpower and superb cultivation, Lin Feng finally found the precious thousand-year ice lotus in a frozen lake.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xingtong went to the Ice Cold Ore Vein to search for ten-thousand-year cold iron. The place was fraught with danger, not only fierce Yao Beasts but also complex mine tunnels. Relying on his rich experience and extraordinary courage, Zhou Xingtong finally discovered the block of ten-thousand-year cold iron emitting cold Qi in a deep ore vein.

However, Lin Feng was unaware of Zhou Xingtong's situation. He was currently in the northern part of the Demon Spirit Continent, a place of extreme cold. Although the thousand-year ice lotus was right before his eyes, Lin Feng couldn't acquire it. There were three Late Stage, ice-attributed Yao Beasts guarding it. These three Yao Beasts were snow leopards. With Lin Feng's strength, they wouldn't be difficult to deal with, but Lin Feng was unsure of the strength of the Yao Beasts here, and whether these three Yao Beasts had a background. After all, this was the Demon Spirit Continent, and these three Yao Beasts were clearly not ordinary Yao Beasts.

All three snow leopards could speak human language, so Lin Feng thought for a moment and decided to first try to communicate with them, hoping to obtain the thousand-year ice lotus through peaceful means. Lin Feng slowly approached, cupped his hands, and said, "Three Fellow Daoists, I am Lin Feng, and I mean no offense. However, this thousand-year ice lotus is crucial to me. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the three snow leopards. One of them spoke, "Human Cultivator, you dare to trespass into our territory alone. You have quite some guts. However, since you are so sincere, we can hear your reason."

Lin Feng's heart rejoiced, it seemed there was a chance. He continued, "Three Fellow Daoists, to be honest, I am currently searching for a nascent formation pill Formula, and this thousand-year ice lotus is a key Material. If I can successfully refine a nascent soul pill, it will not only greatly benefit my personal cultivation but also significantly increase the strength of my Sect, allowing us to better protect this continent."

Upon hearing this, the three snow leopards fell into contemplation. After a moment, one of them said, "Human Cultivator, we feel your sincerity. However, this thousand-year ice lotus is a treasure guarded by us three brothers. How can we easily give it away? Unless..."

Lin Feng's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Unless what?"

The snow leopard said, "Unless you can offer a treasure that can move us. You should know, this snow lotus is our treasure, and we cannot just give it to you for free."

Seeing that the three snow leopards were willing to exchange, Lin Feng tentatively asked them, "Three Fellow Daoists, what kind of object would catch your Dharma Eye?"

The three snow leopards exchanged a smile, as if they already knew. One of them slowly said, "We three brothers are not interested in Magic Treasures or Spirit Stones. What we are interested in is your beast-taming method."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was slightly startled. He hadn't expected that these three snow leopards would be interested in his beast-taming method. After all, his beast-taming method was learned from Yuming Tower, extremely precious, and not easily passed on.

These three snow leopards saw him riding Xiao Ying, the third-stage Silver Shadow Leopard, and assumed he had some unique beast-taming method, which is why they made such a request. Lin Feng secretly pondered. Although the beast-taming method was precious, if he could exchange it for the thousand-year ice lotus, it would be worth it.

Lin Feng looked at the three snow leopards, nodded, and said, "Alright, I am willing to give the beast-taming method to you three Fellow Daoists. However, you three Fellow Daoists must also guarantee to give me this thousand-year ice lotus."

Upon hearing this, the three snow leopards revealed satisfied smiles. One of them said, "Alright, Human Cultivator, we three brothers keep our word. As long as you give us the beast-taming method, this thousand-year ice lotus will be yours."

Lin Feng's heart rejoiced. He hadn't expected that these three snow leopards would agree so readily. He quickly took out a Jade Slip from his in arms, inscribed the beast-taming method onto it, and then handed it to the three snow leopards.

The three snow leopards took the Jade Slip, their Divine Sense probed into it, and after a moment, satisfied smiles appeared on their faces. One of them said, "Alright, Human Cultivator, you are indeed trustworthy. Take this thousand-year ice lotus."

With that, the three snow leopards flashed and disappeared from their original spot. Lin Feng, holding the thousand-year ice lotus, secretly felt fortunate. He knew that with this thousand-year ice lotus, he would be able to gather the three treasures required by the mysterious Cultivator, and thus obtain the nascent formation pill Formula.

Lin Feng was just a little curious why the three snow leopards wanted the beast-taming method. After all, these were used by Human Race Cultivators to tame beasts, and the Yao Race inherently possessed innate Divine Abilities, so they had no need for this method. But Lin Feng had no time to think further at this moment. He carefully put away the thousand-year ice lotus and immediately left this Land of Extreme Cold.

Lin Feng was worried about Zhou Xingtong's situation, wondering if he had already found the ten-thousand-year cold iron. So, he quickened his pace, heading towards the agreed meeting point with Zhou Xingtong.

Several months later, Lin Feng finally arrived at the agreed location, but Zhou Xingtong was nowhere to be seen. Lin Feng felt anxious. Had Zhou Xingtong encountered some danger?

He inquired everywhere, but unfortunately, the northern part of the Demon Spirit Continent was the territory of the Yao Race, and Human Race Cultivators were extremely rare. Where could he inquire? However, fortunately, when they first arrived in the northern land, both had left marks. Lin Feng then began searching for the marks left by Zhou Xingtong.

Following the marks, he arrived at the Ice Cold Ore Vein. Lin Feng saw the complex mine tunnels, with biting cold Qi. Relying on his extraordinary courage and superb cultivation, he cautiously ventured deeper.

Finally, in a deep mine tunnel, Lin Feng discovered Zhou Xingtong's tracks. He saw him being besieged by a group of Yao Beasts, covered in wounds, in a critical situation.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately stepped in to help. Relying on his powerful cultivation and several Magic Treasures, he repelled the Yao Beasts besieging Zhou Xingtong one by one.

Zhou Xingtong was overjoyed to see Lin Feng coming to his rescue. He struggled to stand up, and with Lin Feng back-to-back, they jointly faced the remaining Yao Beasts.

After a fierce battle, the two finally repelled all the Yao Beasts. Zhou Xingtong looked at Lin Feng and said gratefully, "Brother Lin, thanks to your timely arrival, otherwise I would have lost my life here."

Lin Feng patted Zhou Xingtong's shoulder and said, "Brother Zhou, why be so polite? Have you found the ten-thousand-year cold iron?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingtong took out a block of iron emitting cold Qi from his in arms and handed it to Lin Feng. He said, "I did not fail my mission. I have already found the ten-thousand-year cold iron."

Lin Feng looked at the ten-thousand-year cold iron in his hand and secretly felt fortunate. With this block of ten-thousand-year cold iron, he would be able to gather the three treasures required by the mysterious Cultivator, and thus obtain the nascent formation pill Formula.

After a brief rest, the two left the Ice Cold Ore Vein.
