When Xiao Jinting returned to the tower, he found that there were more Ice Palace cultivators lurking around the place.
The moment he walked into the tower, Xiao Jinting felt that a soul force scanned him and swiftly withdrew. He entered the tower calmly.
He felt bad. He had saved the life of the Icy Fairy in Ice Palace, but they didn’t appreciate his help and instead sent so many people to track him down. Bastards.
“Hello, Mr. Chen.” Chen Lifeng stormed in angrily, and Xiao Jinting hurriedly greeted him.
“There are cultivators from Ice Palace wandering around. They seem to be looking for someone. Don’t go out and get into trouble,” Chen Lifeng warned.
“Cultivators from Ice Palace?” Xiao Jinting asked with feigned curiosity.
Chen Lifeng nodded. “Yes, they seem to be looking for someone. These bastards have gone too far. They need to be taught a lesson.”
“Who are they looking for?” Xiao Jinting asked.
“I thought that Bing Ning would die, but something suddenly happened. Someone took out the Ice Marrow Pill, which has just been refined. I guess Ice Palace think that the person who offered the pill is staying here. Several of the Nascent Souls who know how to refine pills are summoned for a talk,” Chen Lifeng said with a gloomy face.
Xiao Jinting pretended to be surprised.
“Isn’t the transmission box completely confidential? How did Ice Palace know the seller is here?” asked Xiao Jinting.
Chen Lifeng sneered and said, “Nothing is impossible. The old witch from Ice Palace must have left her soul mark on the treasures.”
Chen Lifeng’s words confirmed Xiao Jinting’s doubts.
“The mark left by a Deity Transformation is difficult to erase in a short time. The seller must have put the treasures away. However, if he uses one of the treasures, the old witch will sense it,” Chen Lifeng said.
Xiao Jinting felt frustrated.
The treasures given by Ice Palace as well as the Tripod of Heaven and Earth were as useful as chocolate teapot. He felt so desperate that he wished to kill. From the way he addressed the Deity Transformation of Ice Palace, Chen Lifeng seemed to hold grudges against her.
“I gotta go. I want to take a rest now,” Chen Lifeng said irritably.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “See you later.”
After Chen Lifeng left, Qiu Yun came. “Mr. Xiao, is Mr. Chen alright?”
“He seems to be angry. What has happened?” asked Xiao Jinting.
“Nothing serious. He got stopped and interrogated by a preliminary Nascent Soul from Ice Palace.”
Xiao Jinting narrowed his eyes. As a medium Nascent Soul, Chen Lifeng was a big shot in Cloud Continent, but a preliminary Nascent of Ice Palace had the nerve to interrogate him with the power of Ice Palace. No wonder Chen Lifeng looked angry and called the Deity Transformation an old witch.
“They only investigate Nascent Soul Cultivators?” Xiao Jinting asked.
Qiu Yun looked at Xiao Jinting with a strange expression, “What, do you want to be interrogated?”
“No, I’m worried if they will investigate Golden Cores, “Xiao Jinting said.
Qiu Yun shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. It takes strong soul force and high alchemy skills to refine an Ice Marrow Pill. A Golden Core can’t do that.”
Xiao Jinting narrowed his eyes. No one stopped him when he entered the tower, because the soul force scanned him and found he was only a Golden Core cultivator.

In Ice Palace
“Grandmother, are you investigating the cultivator who gave me the pill?” Bing Ning asked.
After she took the Ice Marrow Pill, the problem with her physique was solved, and her cultivation improved a lot.
Bing Wu nodded and said, “Yes. It’s very likely that the seller is the one who sold pills through transmission box, and he might be a free-lance cultivator. If we can recruit him, our strength would rise to a higher level.”
Bing Ning frowned and said, “Grandmother, I don’t think he wants to reveal his identity. We’d better not force him.”
Bing Wu replied disapprovingly, “Ning, I don’t want to hurt him, but to recruit him. Don’t worry.”
Bing Wu suspected that the seller could ripen spiritual grass to the year of ten thousand. After she advanced to Deity Transformation, it was very difficult to make any progress. If she could have a constant supply of herbs of ten thousand years, she might advance to the next level. Therefore, she had to take the risk.
In ancient times, when a cultivator made it to the advanced level of Deity Transformation, he would become an immortal. However, the spiritual Qi of the world was diminishing and there was less spiritual grass for Deity Transformation. As a result, a cultivator advanced to the preliminary level of Deity Transformation, he couldn’t make further progress. If there was a sufficient supply of spiritual grass of ten thousand years, he might be able to reach the advanced level and then become a Deity.
“Grandmother, is there any news?” Bing Ning asked.
Ice Dance looked at Bing Cheng, the cultivator in blue, who hurriedly said, “We’re still checking. There should be news soon.”
He was not confident. Bing Wu only gave him a rough location, which happened to be a place where there were many Nascent Souls. Besides, it was likely that the seller didn’t live in that place and might have passed by when he took the treasures. Many people came and went in Sky City.
Bing Ning frowned and said, “Maybe we should give up.”
“Bing Ning, it’s very likely that this seller can ripen spiritual grass.” If he could ripen Ice Marrow Grass to ten thousand years, he could do the same to other plants. If Ice Palace could recruit him, it would get more powerful.
