The young man with a sword-like eyebrow spoke these words, although he had his own private motives, but they were very reasonable. Zhao Di smiled slightly and did not refute him, letting him continue to speak.

  "Originally the simplest way to split up was for us three from the Taiyi Sect to go one way, and you two to go another. But this way, if the treasure only appears on one of the routes, it's a bit troublesome. If we three find the treasure, naturally we'll also give some to you two. But if you two find it, who knows whether you won't keep it all for yourselves!"

  Zhao Di sneered inwardly at the young man's words, he didn't believe that the other party would kindly share a portion of the treasure with them.

  The slender girl heard this and frowned, just about to retort, but her senior sister with the surname Song said: "That's right, I have such concerns too."

  "Hehe, who doesn't have such worries! Actually, I'm also worried that Fang Daoyou will find the treasure and then turn his back on me!" Hongchen covered her mouth with a smile and said lightly.

  She let out a soft sigh and swallowed back the words that had been on the tip of her tongue.

  The young man with the sword-like eyebrows said, "Hey! Since neither of us trusts each other, the only way is to split up again. How about this: I'll go with Zhao Daoyou, and you three women can go together. This way, no matter which route finds the treasure, both parties will be guaranteed a share."

  It sounds like a good idea, but this sword-browed young man voluntarily wants to go with Zhao Di, the motive is too impure!

  Zhao Di burst out laughing and said, "This is indeed a good idea, Brother Fang is truly clever! Let's do as Brother Fang says! Brother Fang, which route shall we take?"

  The young man with a sword-like eyebrow saw Zhao Di's response was so straightforward, and he was slightly stunned. He then said: "Any path is the same, let's just choose this one on the left. Brother Zhao, please!" After finishing speaking, he walked into the left passage under the cover of the Qingyu shield.

  "Be careful, Fifth Brother! This person has ill intentions!" Hongchen Transmitted Sound Zhao Di said.

  Apart from Hongchen, a girl named Xianxian also cast her concerned and worried gaze at him.

  Zhao Di smiled slightly and nodded to the few people, taking out two red beads. He handed one of them to Hong Chen and said: "This is a pair of magical instruments that I inadvertently obtained. Within a hundred miles, they have the extraordinary effect of mutual sensing. If you three encounter danger, immediately crush this jade bead, and I will know your situation through the other jade bead in my hand. Take care!" After finishing speaking, he and Bing Feng Mao flashed into the left passage.

  Soon after, three girls also walked into the passageway on the right.

  Zhao Di kept a distance of about twenty zhang from the young man in front of him, Tai Yi Men. If the other party slowed down, he would also slow down his pace; if the other party rushed forward quickly, he would also speed up to keep up. Keeping such a distance would not allow the other party to launch a sneak attack, and after discovering the treasure, they could immediately catch up without letting the other party swallow it alone.

  The young man of the Taiyi Sect tried several times, quickly and slowly, and found that Zhao Di was always following closely behind, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far away. He could only give up his extra movements.

  Within such a short distance, the divine sense can easily control all subtle changes. If he sets up any tricks or traps, they will definitely be discovered by the opponent in the first time, and there is no use at all.

  Under the stalemate between the two, this passage became deeper and deeper, the cold air around it grew heavier and heavier, condensing into thin wisps of white mist that gradually filled the entire passageway.

  Without Ice Wind Python's reminder, he could also clearly sense with his divine consciousness that they were getting closer and closer to a cave with extremely heavy cold air.

  The yellow heaven and earth talisman on his body could no longer stop the extremely low temperature brought by the cold air, so Zhao Di could only deploy several layers of fire attribute spiritual power shields again, and at the same time, he also set up a faint purple gas defense in the innermost layer.

  The Taiyi Gate youth, who was originally only using the Qingyu shield to defend against the cold air, also stuck a fire-attribute defensive talisman on himself. A dazzling red light enveloped him, and he didn't feel any cold air at all.

  "Fire Yang Fu!" Zhao Di recognized the talisman used by the young man from the Tai Yi Sect at a glance. This was an expensive foundational period talisman that could unleash a Fire Yang shield with uncommon defensive power. When facing ice-cold attribute attacks, this talisman's defensive capabilities even surpassed those of the Huang Tian Thick Earth Talisman! Using it to defend against the cold air now was indeed the best choice, and it seemed that this person's background was also not ordinary!

  Zhao Di did not deliberately refine this talisman, in order to improve the success rate of refining, he only chose one each for the offensive and defensive foundation period talismans.

  The two of them walked out for a while and finally arrived at an underground spring cave that was hundreds of feet wide.

  Under the illumination of the moonstone, the two saw a vast expanse of clear water over 100 meters wide, constantly emitting a "gurgling" sound. Accompanying this sound, large fist-sized bubbles emerged, and wisps of white cold air dispersed from them. Apart from the extremely low temperature, Zhao Di even detected a faint scent of fragrance.

  "Hanshangquan! Haha, found it, really found it!" The young man from the Taizhen Gate burst out laughing excitedly.

  Rumors have it that the Jiuhanyuexuan Water often appears near the Hanshuiquan. If you find the Hanshuiquan, you may be able to find the Jiuhanyuexuan Water as well. Even if you can't find it, the spring water of the Hanshuiquan is still a very good ice-attribute spiritual liquid, but its effect when forming the Congealing Dan is far inferior to that of the Jiuhanyuexuan Water.

  Bingfengmang was also very excited and didn't wait for Zhao Di's command, he proactively drilled into the Hanshang Spring and swam freely.

  Zhao Di and the young man from Tai Yi Men quickly fixed their gaze on a stalactite hanging upside down at the top of the mountain cave more than ten zhang away from Han Xiang Spring.

  The white cold air rising from the Cold Fragrance Spring mostly gathered at the top of the cave and condensed without dispersing. This stalactite, however, extended downwards from the top of the mountain, slowly dripping a liquid with an extremely deep color. Underneath the stalactite was a small pool of water about several inches in size, which had collected some dark-colored liquids that emitted an even more intense fragrance.

  Whether it's from color or the fragrance emitted, it's generally identical to the Jiuxian Xuanming Spring recorded in the classics!

  The young man with sword-like eyebrows from the Taiyi Sect did not go to collect spiritual liquid, but instead slowly turned around and gazed at Zhao Di with a cold expression.

  Zhao Di also looked at each other with profound meaning, and the two stared at each other for a moment.

  "Fang brother, do you really want to take action? These spiritual liquids are enough for us to divide among ourselves. If it were in the past, I wouldn't be willing to risk a life-or-death battle with a late-stage peak cultivator of similar cultivation!" Zhao Di let out a light sigh and said calmly.

  "Not bad, with your skills, I shouldn't have taken the risk of attacking you!" The young man with a sword-like eyebrow nodded and said, "However, I've already developed a killing intent towards you, and the kung fu I practice emphasizes following one's nature and heart. If I strongly suppress the killing intent in my heart, it would be counterproductive!"

  "Oh, indeed, the Taoist school has many techniques with this characteristic. It's just that I offended Brother Fang at some point, and it so happens that my relationship with Fairy Xianzi is only a superficial one from decades ago." Zhao Di's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

  "It's just a superficial relationship, isn't it! My slender and elegant junior sister, usually has an icy face, never giving our fellow disciples a good look. When she's not cultivating, she's always accompanying that dying old man He. Now, she's suddenly very enthusiastic towards you, is it really just a simple encounter?! The young man with the sword-like eyebrows grew angrier as he spoke, his tone becoming even more rigid. He continued: "Hmph! Even so, I'm not someone who can't let Zhao brother off, but Zhao brother's calm and confident smile, really makes me look down on him. If I don't eliminate you, I'm afraid the anger in my heart won't dissipate, and it might even become a heart demon!"

  Zhao Dili hummed and fell silent. He was unwilling to conflict with the Taiyi Sect youth, neither as a disciple of a prestigious sect nor having a master in the Condensing Dan stage, but now he couldn't avoid it!

  "Make your move! Let me see the elegance of a Taiyi Sect cultivator." Zhao Di said with a concerned tone and a hint of a smile. He had the same demeanor when guiding his disciple, Shi Shuo, in practicing their skills.

  As expected, the sword-browed youth flew into a rage, shouting "Looking for death!", and at the same time, his right hand lifted, a several-inch-long green jade knife flew out, drawing a green light, slashing towards Zhao Di.
