In a certain place on an icy mountain ridge in the Mystic Frost Realm, a man and a woman and a python were flying through the air at high speed.

  "Can this ice python really find treasure?" The girl looked at the giant python that kept sticking out its tongue and asked with a bit of doubt.

  "I'm not sure about this either, anyway we're both just randomly searching together, might as well let it try. The beast's senses are much stronger than humans, and this is an ice attribute spirit beast." Zhao Di said with a smile.

  "Hmm, that makes sense. Anyway, it's all about luck, and it's the same everywhere!" The girl smiled slightly, and suddenly said with a deep meaning to Zhao Di: "It's been over a decade since we last met, and it seems like Fifth Brother already has a dual cultivation partner? Which beautiful female cultivator has such charm that caught Fifth Brother's eye?"

  Whether a man or woman, as long as they are virgins, they will emit a kind of primordial yang energy or primordial yin energy. This primordial yang or yin energy is extremely subtle and ordinary people find it difficult to distinguish. However, for cultivators above the foundation-building stage, it can be easily seen.

  Therefore, for a foundation-building period cultivator, whether the other party is of the Original Yang Body or the Original Yin Body can be seen through at a glance.

  More than a decade ago, when the two met on Wuhou Island, Zhao Di was still in his Yuan Yang body. This time they met again, the girl noticed that Zhao Di had already broken through his Yuan Yang body, guessing that he must have found a dual cultivation partner, which is why she asked this question.

  Zhaodi's face turned slightly red as he bitterly smiled and said: "This is a personal grievance of mine, the reasons behind it are not worth mentioning to an immortal like you."

  Zhao Zhi did not want to speak clearly, so the girl tactfully stopped asking and instead discussed with him the insights gained from their cultivation, as well as the preparations they made for breaking through to the Congealing Dan stage.

  Being able to discuss and exchange insights with a fellow cultivator of the same level, without any reservations or restraints, was something that Zhao had been yearning for but couldn't find. The two of them spoke in turns, engaging in a most delightful conversation, each feeling deeply enriched by the exchange.

  Before long, Bingfeng led the two people who were in high spirits through a valley of ice, with steep and treacherous ice mountains hundreds of feet high on both sides.

  "There are people ahead, and as many as three of them. Most of them are late-stage foundation-building cultivators, only one is a mid-stage foundation-building cultivator!" Zhao Di suddenly said in a low voice.

  After a moment, the girl in red skirt also said: "Yes, there are indeed several people. However, I can only vaguely sense that there are cultivators present, but I cannot judge the cultivation of these few people. It seems that Fifth Brother's divine consciousness is much stronger than mine!"

  "The fairy praised. With so many people in front, we shouldn't have joined the commotion. But my spiritual beast told me that it strongly sensed a dense ice-attribute spiritual energy ahead. What do you think, Fairy?" Zhao asked for the girl's opinion.

  The young girl smiled slightly and said, "The other side only has one more mid-term foundation establishment master than us. With the fifth brother's flying needle technique, what is there to fear? Besides, we are just searching for treasure, it doesn't necessarily mean we will conflict with these few people. If we leave now, it would be too regrettable. Why not go forward and greet them, then each of us can search for treasure separately. This valley is so vast, it's not like the three of them can cover the entire area."

  "Not bad, I was thinking the same thing! Let's hurry up and go, those three people seem to have discovered our presence, they're stopping in their tracks, as if waiting for us!" Zhao Di said, stroking his chin and pondering for a moment.

  Two people and a python slowed down a bit, continuing on for about ten miles, and indeed saw three cultivators with the same attire. Among them, the young man with a square face and sword-like eyebrows had the highest cultivation level, which was the same as Zhao Di's, both at the peak of the late foundation stage. The two girls were one in the late foundation stage and the other in the middle foundation stage. Both girls were extremely beautiful, especially the one in the middle foundation stage, who looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old. Her delicate facial features still had a hint of childishness, but she exuded an icy cold aura that made people feel both amazed and intimidated at the same time.

  Zhao Di looked at the girl in the middle of building her foundation for a few more moments, not because he was captivated by her unique aura, but because he felt that her facial features were quite familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before, but couldn't recall where.

  "It turns out that the two of you have also set your sights on this Ice Valley, coming here to search for treasure. It's truly a coincidence that we three are fated to meet. We three are all from the Orthodox Alliance's Taiyi Sect. I wonder where the two of you come from?" The young man with the sword-like eyebrows asked politely, his eyes fixed on Zhao Di's cultivation, but when he mentioned the words "Orthodox Alliance's Taiyi Sect", a hint of pride and arrogance slipped into his tone.

  Zhao Di heard this and, with a smile, cupped his fists in greeting: "So you're from the Taiyi Sect of the Orthodox Alliance's First Clan! I've long admired your reputation! My friend and I usually cultivate on the Penglai Immortal Island seas, without any sect or school, just two lone cultivators. Please, everyone, offer us your guidance!"

  Hongchen and those two girls also each made a fist and said a few polite words.

  The young man with a sword-like eyebrow raised the name of his sect, and there was an intention to show off. Seeing that the other party knew their place and humbly admitted defeat, he also smiled and said: "Well said, well said! I suppose you two were able to find this place thanks to this ice-attributed giant python spirit beast!" This person's thoughts were meticulous, and after seeing the Ice Wind Python, his mind slightly turned, and he guessed the truth.

  "Not bad, haha." Zhao Di smiled and suddenly said to the mid-stage Foundation Building girl: "The three of you were able to find this place, probably also because of this ice-attribute spiritual root fairy."

  The rest of them were shocked in their hearts, especially this mid-stage foundation-building girl herself, who was staring at Zhao Di with great astonishment.

  The spiritual root attribute of a demon beast can usually be judged from its external color and the aura it emits, but for human cultivators, their spiritual root attribute can only be accurately determined by physical contact and testing with spiritual energy. It is impossible to draw conclusions just by looking at one's face or relying on intuition. Yet, Zhao Di was able to identify this woman and her rare ice spiritual root attribute at a glance, which left others in shock.

  "How did this Taoist friend know that the young girl's spiritual root attribute is Ice Spirit Root? Could it be that the Taoist friend's spiritual beast sensed it?" The girl's face was no longer cold and icy, but instead showed a surprised and curious expression.

  The sword-browed man was also shocked, the other party's cultivation was the same as his, but he didn't have this ability to see through people's spiritual root attributes. Was it that this person had cultivated some kind of mysterious and strange secret technique? However, when he found out that the mid-term foundation-building girl was looking at Zhao Di with a curious gaze, he inexplicably developed a sense of hatred towards Zhao Di.

  "Hehe, it's not like that, I just saw the fairy in my early years. Forgive me for being rude, may I ask if the fairy is named Xian'er?" Zhao said with a smile.

  "Xianxian is indeed the name of a young lady, but Xianxian really can't remember when she met her fellow Taoist!" The girl was even more surprised to hear her nickname being called out by the other person. She racked her brains trying to recall, but couldn't think of who this person in front of her was!

  She has been highly valued by the sect since joining Taiyi Gate due to her excellent spiritual roots. She usually only needs to work hard and rarely goes out for training, plus she was originally cold and proud, so she knows very few cultivators. Among the limited number of cultivators she knew, it is really impossible to associate any one of them with this purple-clothed young man in front of her.

  Zhao Di smiled mysteriously and said: "Has the fairy's flying leaf artifact been discarded? Is the fairy's ancestor, Da He, still healthy?"

  "You know my Flying Leaf Artifact! And you also knew Grandfather! Ah, right, you're that senior from back then!" The girl finally remembered the senior who had identified her spiritual root attribute and changed her fate, and had given her a flying artifact in the shape of a leaf. This person had a great influence on her, and she had thought about him many times before, but at that time Zhao Di was always speaking in a low voice and wearing a black hood, so she couldn't connect the two for a moment. But after Zhao mentioned the Flying Leaf Artifact and his grandfather, she immediately knew Zhao's identity.

  She was extremely excited and said: "It's the senior! Thank you for pointing out and giving me treasures in those years, I remember it in my heart. For a moment, I couldn't recognize the senior, please forgive me."

  Zhao Di smiled and waved his hand, saying: "No need to mention the word 'senior'! Now you and I are both foundation-building cultivators, so we should be considered as peers. Back then, it was just a casual favor, no need for you to remember it. How is your ancestor, He Da?"

  The girl's face was no longer cold, but a warm smile, and she said enthusiastically: "My ancestor is over 100 years old, with a strong body, enjoying his later years in the Taiyi Gate. My grandfather has mentioned Daoist friends to Xianxian many times, if it wasn't for the guidance of Daoist friends back then, I'm afraid Xianxian would have taken more detours."
