Chapter 806
Kong Ruobing Steps In! You're Teaching Me How to Do Things
Seeing that all the ice crystals containing her Frost Talisman shattered and her attack was completely forced to stop, Kong Ruobing immediately panicked and shouted, "You cheated!"
"How can you call it cheating? I've suppressed my cultivation to the same level as yours and haven't used any magic weapons. How can you call that cheating?"
Ji Buyi laughed.
Kong Ruobing snorted: "But you used these icicle pillars hanging in your cave. Isn't that cheating?"
Ji Buyi said seriously, "Using the surrounding environment is a fighting instinct, not cheating. On the contrary, if you can use these to defeat me, then you have gained the upper hand in terms of the environment, and I will have to admire you."
"You scoundrel, you shameless scoundrel!"
Kong Ruobing didn't bother listening to his grand theories; all she knew was that if Ji Buyi hadn't used his laughter to shake down the ice pillars, she would have already defeated him.
Ji Buyi shook his head and smiled bitterly, letting Kong Ruobing scold him as she pleased. He didn't blame her; he was indeed in the wrong.
Logically, given one's own strength, one shouldn't need to rely on the environment to fight.
Borrowing external tools indicates that one's skills are inferior to others.
So, strictly speaking, I've already lost.
However, it's best to keep this to yourself; it would be shameful to say it out loud. As the number one genius of the Ice Spirit Sect, he couldn't afford to lose face like that.
"Cough cough."
Ji Buyi coughed twice, changing the subject, and asked, "Junior Sister, what's the deal with the runes in your ice crystal? Where did you learn them?"
Why should I tell you that you're a scoundrel?
Kong Ruobing snorted.
Ji Buyi looked helpless: "Alright, alright, I'm a scoundrel, I was wrong. But if you can teach me this rune technique, I'll also teach you my Ice Sculpture Dog technique, how about it?"
Is this really true?
Kong Ruobing's beautiful eyes lit up instantly.
Ji Buyi said, "Of course it's true. When has my senior brother ever lied to you?"
"Hmph. You just cheated on me, and you still have the nerve to say that."
Kong Ruobing snorted.
Ji Buyi was speechless and could only manage a bitter smile.
"Alright, as long as you teach me the method of sculpting the ice puppy first, I'll teach you this ice talisman in return."
Kong Ruobing finally stopped dwelling on the win or loss and spoke up.
Ji Buyi was overjoyed and said, "Good junior sister, but let me take a good look at your talisman first. Is it an ice talisman? I remember that ice talisman is not this powerful."
Kong Ruobing said smugly, "Ordinary ice talismans can't compare to mine. You want to see it? But I can only show you a little bit. The more profound ones are beyond your comprehension."
"..."
Ji Buyi was speechless.
How could I, a powerful Immortal Lord, not understand this?
How could I be inferior to a mere little golden immortal like you?
Although that's what he thought, Ji Buyi didn't dare say it aloud. Instead, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I don't understand. Show me a simple one first."
"Since you've been so sincere in begging me, I'll reluctantly let you see it."
Kong Ruobing raised her head and was about to take out the talisman book that Zhang Lingshan had given her from her storage ring.
But at that moment...
She suddenly frowned, noticing a message on Himuro's identity token. She had put the token in her ring to focus on the battle, and only discovered it now when she needed to retrieve it.
"Li Xuanbing survived the tribulation but failed to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. Is he going to be kicked out of the Golden Immortal Pavilion?"
Kong Ruobing took out her identity token and, upon learning the information inside, immediately showed a look of surprise and couldn't help but mutter it aloud.
That shouldn't be the case.
Li Xuanbing's talent was the best she had ever seen in her life. Who was Kong Ruobing? She was a prodigy born in ten thousand years of mysterious ice. Even she thought Li Xuanbing was a genius, which shows how high Li Xuanbing's talent was.
With such talent, how could he not break through to the Golden Immortal realm after undergoing a tribulation of lightning?
If this message hadn't come from Zhao Xingqiu, Kong Ruobing would have thought someone was just stirring up trouble and talking nonsense.
In particular, besides this message, Li Xuanbing himself also sent a message, asking her, the Ice Immortal, for help to see if he could continue to stay in the Golden Immortal Pavilion to comprehend the tribulation of lightning.
"Junior sister, what happened?"
Seeing Kong Ruobing suddenly stop talking, Ji Buyi couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Kong Ruobing said, "I have to go to the Golden Immortal Pavilion."
"what?"
Ji Buyi was taken aback: "Didn't we agree to learn my Ice Sculpture Dog Technique? You're not going to learn it anymore? And you won't even let me see the Frost Talisman?"
"If you want to see the Frost Talisman, then come with me!"
After saying that, Kong Ruobing directly set up an ice lotus and flew away into the distance, without caring whether Ji Buyi agreed or not.
Ji Buyi hurriedly followed, saying, "Junior sister, why are you thinking of this so suddenly? What are you going to the Golden Immortal Pavilion for? And there's no need to rush, let's look at the Frost Talisman while we go."
Kong Ruobing glanced at him and said, "The person who taught me the Frost Talisman suffered injustice at the Golden Immortal Pavilion. If you really want to see the Frost Talisman, you can see it as long as you perform well at the Golden Immortal Pavilion."
"what?"
Ji Buyi was taken aback.
The first surprise was that Kong Ruobing's Frost Talisman wasn't obtained from any ruins, but rather taught to him by someone else.
This is too bizarre.
Although Ji Buyi had not seen the full form of this Frost Talisman, he could clearly discern its high level of sophistication, something that no ordinary person could create.
That's why he guessed that Kong Ruobing had gone to some ruins and obtained some kind of opportunity. He never expected that the owner of this talisman was a living person who had contact with Kong Ruobing.
The second surprise was that the owner of this Frost Talisman was not only a living person, but had actually been wronged by the Golden Immortal Pavilion.
What kind of class is the Golden Immortal Pavilion? How could they possibly bully the owner of this Frost Talisman?
Could it be that the owner of this Frost Talisman hasn't broken through to the Golden Immortal realm yet?
That's even stranger!
If someone can master such a wondrous and profound ice talisman without even breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm, what would they be like after breaking through?
This is a once-in-a-millennium genius!
Ji Buyi was filled with curiosity about the owner of this ice talisman and couldn't help but say, "Junior sister, they've been wronged, and you're still here taking your time. Is this how you treat your subordinates? You've really disappointed me!"
"you!"
Kong Ruobing felt an itch in her teeth.
You were just telling me to slow down, and now you're getting impatient. Your attitude has changed way too quickly.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I'll take you with me."
As Ji Buyi spoke, he used his flying magic weapon, a long spear, to release a vast amount of immortal spiritual energy, guiding Kong Ruobing's ice lotus to fly behind him.
In an instant, the speed increased many times over.
Kong Ruobing was speechless for a moment.
This guy is really anxious. He's always been unhurried, but this time he's actually wasting so much immortal energy.
Is that ice talisman really that attractive?
While thinking about this, Kong Ruobing secretly took out the talisman manual that Zhang Lingshan had given her, secretly pleased with herself.
I have a complete set of Frost Talismans, from easy to difficult, and Li Xuanbing is one of my people. If you, Ji Buyi, want to learn the Frost Talismans, you'll ultimately have to ask me, the Ice Immortal, for help, haha.
……
Whack! Whack!
Two streaks of light flashed across the sky. Zhang Lingshan looked up and wondered where these powerful figures came from, daring to break into the Golden Immortal Pavilion from the air.
'It shouldn't be Lady Ice Fairy, right? She only replied to my message recently; it shouldn't be this fast.'
Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.
Moreover, the speed of these two was unlike that of a Golden Immortal.
'These two came in a hurry; I wonder what happened. There's bound to be a good show.'
Driven by curiosity, Zhang Lingshan immediately released his divine sense to spy on everything happening inside the Golden Immortal Pavilion.
Two figures stopped above the Golden Immortal Pavilion, and one of them called out loudly, "Where is Zhao Xingqiu? Come up and see me."
"Who dares to act recklessly in my Golden Immortal Pavilion?"
Immediately following was a sharp shout, and a swift figure rushed forward, but retreated mid-air as if it hadn't been him who had spoken.
"Master Ice Immortal."
Zhao Xingqiu's figure rose up from a mountain peak and he quickly bowed.
Where is Li Xuanbing?
Kong Ruobing asked.
Zhao Xingqiu said, "When I was with Li Xuanbing, a cold-faced woman came over, scolded me and sent me away. I don't know what she did to Li Xuanbing after that. But I contacted Li Xuanbing, and he should be fine; he was just kicked out."
"Being kicked out is nothing? This person was personally recommended by me, the Ice Fairy. Who dares to kick out my people? Step forward and let me see!"
Kong Ruobing shouted sternly.
No one answered.
The people in the Golden Immortal Pavilion all seemed to be pretending to be dead.
On a mountain peak, Leng Yan looked grim, utterly humiliated to be insulted to his face.
She never imagined that Kong Ruobing would actually break into their Golden Immortal Pavilion because of a mere Xuanxian.
The first unexpected thing was that the other party valued this mere Xuanxian in a way that was beyond reason.
The second unexpected thing was that the other party actually dared to openly break into the Golden Immortal Pavilion.
What audacity!
The Golden Immortal Pavilion is a department directly under the government. Although you, Kong Ruobing, have powerful grandparents, do you have any official status? Where do you get the audacity to provoke us officials?
At best, he's just the head of the ice room in Anyuan City, with pitifully little power. How can he be compared to the chief of our Golden Immortal Pavilion?
Bold!
Although she cursed inwardly, Leng Yan remained motionless, as if she hadn't heard Kong Ruobing's stern shout from the air at all.
suddenly.
A voice rang in Leng Yan's ear, sighing, "Sigh, I warned you a long time ago, why didn't you listen? Are all ice-attribute people this stubborn?"
It was the Fire Element Chief, the red-haired youth. He sighed and said, "You're in trouble now. If it were just Kong Ruobing coming alone, we could have gotten away with it, but she brought a whole group this time. That's incredible. It shows how much she values that Li Xuanbing."
"roll!"
Leng Yan felt annoyed and couldn't help but scold him.
The Fire Element Chief smiled slightly, showing no annoyance whatsoever. He was just there to watch the show; he loved a good spectacle.
Anyway, he had already warned in advance that this matter had nothing to do with him. Even if the Pavilion Master of the Golden Immortal Pavilion got angry and wanted to investigate the matter, it would have nothing to do with Hang Chi.
"Leng Yan".
In the air, Ji Buyi's voice rang out calmly, "You're the cold-faced woman I'm talking about, aren't you? Stop pretending to be dead and come out. Otherwise, I'll drag you out myself."
Leng Yan's face darkened, knowing she couldn't hide any longer. She snorted, then flew into the air and said, "Ji Buyi, does this have anything to do with you?"
"Yes, it's related, and very related."
Ji Buyi said seriously.
This is not a lie.
Li Xuanbing is the owner of the Frost Talisman, and I need to learn the Frost Talisman from him, so the relationship is naturally very important.
Leng Yan's heart sank.
Could it be that Li Xuanbing was recommended not only by Kong Ruobing, but also by Ji Buyi?
Kong Ruobing was just recommending Ji Buyi?
That would make things even more complicated.
Facing Kong Ruobing was already difficult enough, but now they also had to face Ji Buyi, the number one genius of the Ice Spirit Sect, who was even stronger than Kong Ruobing. That made things even more difficult.
Oh shit.
Who would have thought that little Li Xuanbing would have so many people supporting him? If you had just said you were Ji Buyi's man, would I have driven you away? You despicable Li Xuanbing, why didn't you say so sooner?
Leng Yan cursed Zhang Lingshan countless times in her heart.
But since things have come to this point, there's no point in continuing to hurl insults.
Leng Yan took a deep breath and said, "Li Xuanbing has already undergone the tribulation of lightning. According to the rules, his cultivation in the Golden Immortal Pavilion has ended. It is perfectly reasonable for me to let him leave, and there is no problem at all. What are you trying to do by shouting and making a fuss here? Are you trying to break the rules of our Golden Immortal Pavilion?"
"What rules?"
Ji Buyi smiled faintly: "Li Xuanbing hasn't broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, so how can his cultivation be considered over? Everyone who comes to the Golden Immortal Pavilion is here to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. The lightning tribulation is just a means to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. This means can be used once or twice. What rule does it violate?"
That's the principle.
Zhang Lingshan failed to break through to the Golden Immortal realm after experiencing the tribulation of lightning, leaving him in an ambiguous situation where either side could be justified, and it all came down to who had the bigger fist.
Leng Yan's fists were obviously not very big, which is why she had to reason with people here. Otherwise, she would treat Ji Buyi the same way she treated Zhang Lingshan.
Swish!
Before Leng Yan could continue her nonsense, Kong Ruobing suddenly tossed out a Golden Immortal Jade Talisman and said, "I don't care about your rules. I have another Golden Immortal Jade Talisman here. Can I let Li Xuanbing in?"
"This……"
Leng Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Of course. This is in accordance with the rules. As long as one has not broken through to the Golden Immortal realm and possesses a Golden Immortal Jade Talisman, one can enter our Golden Immortal Pavilion."
"Since that's the case, then stop talking nonsense and go and bring Li Xuanbing back. If you can't find Li Xuanbing, you'll be held responsible!"
Kong Ruobing shouted sternly.
In fact, he could have contacted Zhang Lingshan simply by using the Ice Chamber ID card.
But she refused to do it and insisted that Leng Yan go and invite her.
Leng Yan's face immediately turned ashen, and she said in a deep voice, "Me, a dignified Immortal Lord, going to invite him? Besides, I don't even know where he went. That Zhao Xingqiu, I see he has a very good relationship with Li Xuanbing, and they are in contact with each other. Just have Zhao Xingqiu contact Li Xuanbing to come over."
"Are you teaching me what to do?"
Kong Ruobing's face was as cold as frost, and he suddenly unleashed an ice shard with his right hand.
His cold face showed disdain.
A mere Golden Immortal dares to lay a hand on me, a Celestial Lord? How utterly presumptuous! (End of Chapter)
