Chapter 814
Transfer of the Frost Talisman! Li Xuanbing brought...
'Um? '
Zhang Lingshan's heart skipped a beat.
If the Frost Talisman didn't belong to Song Dayun, then what about the Ice Coffin?
Xia Hengbing and the other two kept saying that the ice coffin contained their master's wife, but after hearing what the old woman said, it seemed that there was another secret.
"Grandmaster's Frost Talisman?"
After the old woman stopped, Kong Ruobing immediately rushed over and stood in front of Zhang Lingshan. Hearing what the old woman said, she couldn't help but ask, "Could this Frost Talisman be from our Ice Spirit Sect? If Li Xuanbing learned this talisman, wouldn't that prove that he was destined to be a member of our Ice Spirit Sect?"
The old woman remained silent for a long time, then glanced at her little granddaughter and couldn't help but sigh.
The granddaughter used to love listening to me tell all sorts of legends and stories from the past, but today when I mentioned the Ancestral Grandmother, she didn't ask any questions about her. Instead, she was concerned about whether this guy named Li Xuanbing could join their Ice Spirit Sect.
What kind of spell has this girl fallen for? Is this pretty boy all she cares about right now?
"His ability to comprehend the Grandmaster's Frost Talisman truly proves that he has a connection with our Ice Spirit Sect."
The old woman ultimately did not deny it, saying, "But tell me properly, where did you get this Frost Talisman?"
Zhang Lingshan said, "There is a stone tablet made of ice in a cave near Anyuan City. I learned the secret from it."
Zhang Lingshan didn't dare tell the truth.
If the other party knew about the existence of the ice coffin, they would definitely force me to hand it over.
The opponent was not Xia Hengbing, Lei Shuo, and Yu Feihan, three good-for-nothings, but a Celestial King powerhouse.
He might not give Xia Hengbing and the other two face, but he wouldn't dare to disrespect this person.
Because they can dominate you.
and so.
Zhang Lingshan was vague, not only omitting the mention of the ice coffin, but also failing to mention Xia Hengbing and the other two.
Although as long as it was mentioned that these three people were related to the Great Fortune Sect, the old woman would most likely rush over to capture or even kill them, which saved Zhang Lingshan some trouble.
but.
This would pose a risk of exposing the ice coffin.
The three of them will definitely bite Zhang Lingshan before they die, and the ice coffin will naturally be lost.
Therefore, for the sake of the ice coffin, Zhang Lingshan had no choice but to keep it a secret.
If the other party continues to press, just make up something and then try to leave.
In short, the ice coffin will definitely not be given out unless you really can't hold on any longer and can throw it out to save your life. Until then, keep it a secret as long as possible.
"Where is the Ice Stone Tablet?"
The old woman asked again.
Zhang Lingshan said, "After I comprehended the Frost Talisman, the Frost Stone Tablet naturally melted away."
The old woman paused for a moment, then sighed, "It seems that I am not destined to inherit the legacy of my ancestral master."
“Grandma, you can have Li Xuanbing teach us the Frost Talisman. We all learned it from him.”
Kong Ruobing hurriedly continued to help Zhang Lingshan showcase his talents and let his grandmother know his value.
The old woman glared at Kong Ruobing and said, "How can the Ancestral Grandmother's Frost Talisman be passed on? Only the first transmission can be successfully comprehended. You two received his transmission, but what results have you achieved?"
"I've learned it."
Kong Ruobing said confidently, flicking her right sleeve to unleash a series of ice flowers that formed runes.
The ice flowers rapidly grew larger in the air, eventually forming a cage that trapped the old woman inside.
Of course, this was because the old woman didn't make a move; she wanted to see what would happen and let Kong Ruobing make her move.
Otherwise, with a gentle blow from the old woman, all these ice flowers would probably crumble.
How long have you been studying?
The old woman observed for a long time, waiting until the cage was completely formed, before asking the question.
Kong Ruobing said, "More than three years."
"More than three years?"
The old woman was startled; the speed wasn't slow, it was incredibly fast.
The Grandmaster's Frost Talisman is not something that can be comprehended so easily. Even the first inheritance should not be so quick, let alone being passed down from this kid.
"It's been more than three years, I'm not lying. But it's not entirely due to my focused cultivation, there's also the Frost Talisman Manual that Li Xuanbing gave me, which describes every step in comprehending the Frost Talisman. Grandma, take a look."
Kong Ruobing strongly recommended Zhang Lingshan, even taking out the talisman manual and handing it to the old woman.
The old woman stared at it for a long time, her eyes growing increasingly shocked. Finally, she couldn't help but look at Zhang Lingshan and ask, "How long did it take you from seeing that ice stone tablet to comprehending the ice talisman?"
"Tell the truth or lie?" Zhang Lingshan asked.
"Of course it's the truth!"
The old woman blurted out.
Zhang Lingshan said, "About ten days."
"..."
The old woman fell silent, glanced at Kong Ruobing and Ji Buyi, and the three of them remained silent.
It only took ten days?
Is this the power of the first inheritance?
If they had seen the Froststone Stele itself, wouldn't they have been able to comprehend the Frost Rune within ten days, instead of only comprehending less than one-tenth of it after three years?
"Could I borrow this manual to take a look?"
The old woman looked at Zhang Lingshan and asked.
Zhang Lingshan said, "This is a gift from me to Lady Bingxian, and it is entirely up to Lady Bingxian to decide what to do with it. If Lady Bingxian agrees, I can draw another one."
"You're quite good at winning over young girls."
The old woman couldn't help but snort. Seeing Kong Ruobing's proud and smug look, she felt a surge of displeasure and wished she could give her granddaughter a good whack on the head.
This silly girl is completely fooled by this guy, and she's so proud of herself, actually believing that he's loyal to her.
Aren't you afraid that once this kid learns the skills and benefits from them, he'll turn around and run away?
"Ice Fairy has been very kind to me, helping me in my humble beginnings. I, Li Xuanbing, will do anything that Ice Fairy asks of me, as long as I can do it."
Zhang Lingshan said earnestly.
Kong Ruobing's expression grew increasingly smug. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at the old woman, as if to say, "Look, this is the person I brought back for our Ice Spirit Sect. Isn't he outstanding? Most importantly, he knows how to repay kindness."
"Alright, alright."
The old woman snorted, "If you two want to show your loyalty, find a place to do it yourselves, don't do it in front of me. But since you said you can make another copy, then draw one for me too. Ice Fairy, do you agree?"
"Haha."
Kong Ruobing laughed: "Agreed, of course I agree. It's rare for Grandma to need my help."
Zhang Lingshan said, "Yes. But before I paint, shouldn't I save Steward Qiu first?" "Zhao Xingqiu!"
Kong Ruobing only then realized what had happened and hurriedly looked at the ice sculpture not far behind Zhang Lingshan, exclaiming, "Grandma, look what you've done! You've almost frozen my people to death!"
"It's alright."
The old woman said calmly, "I have considered my actions before I act. Why would I freeze someone to death so easily?"
As she spoke, she casually released a burst of energy, and the ice crystals on Zhao Xingqiu's body began to slowly melt.
"Let her melt slowly, without damaging her foundation; that will actually do her a good job. Alright, you can start drawing now."
The old woman's last words were to Zhang Lingshan.
Zhang Lingshan nodded, and with a light step of his right foot, ice tables and ice chairs materialized on the ground.
There were four chairs in total. He sat on one, and also invited Kong Ruobing, Ji Buyi, and the old woman to sit down.
Then, without taking out paper and pen, he started drawing right there on the table.
Each time he finished drawing a talisman, he would lightly tap it with his right hand, and the talisman would naturally fall off the table, like a piece of ice crystal paper. Zhang Lingshan would then place it aside and stack it with the ice crystal talisman paper he was drawing next.
finally.
An intact ice crystal talisman paper version of the Frost Talisman Manual quietly landed on the table.
All was quiet!
While Zhang Lingshan was painting, you could still hear the rustling sound of his brushes.
Once the painting is finished, there is no sound at all.
Kong Ruobing, Ji Buyi, and the old woman all fell into extreme silence, sitting blankly in their chairs, seemingly still immersed in Zhang Lingshan's drawing of talismans, even though Zhang Lingshan had finished, they had not yet come out of it.
A full half-hour passed.
The old woman was the first to come to her senses. She gave Zhang Lingshan a deep look and said, "To be able to analyze the Frost Talisman so meticulously and systematically, no wonder the little girl praised you so highly. Even I, even after receiving the first inheritance, probably couldn't draw it so clearly, peeling back the layers one by one. You are indeed a genius. It must be that our ancestral grandmother in heaven sent you to us."
"Grandma, you've agreed to accept Li Xuanbing into our Ice Spirit Sect!"
Kong Ruobing was overjoyed.
The old woman glared at her irritably: "Such a genius, how could I face the ancestors of the Ice Spirit Sect if I didn't accept him? Alright, Li Xuanbing has only recently broken through to the Golden Immortal realm and has been drawing talismans for so long, he must be quite exhausted. You should take him to Ji Buyi's place to rest first."
"No need for all that trouble, let's begin the prodigy assessment immediately. I don't think Li Xuanbing is tired at all."
Kong Ruobing said hurriedly.
No one knew her grandmother better than her, and she was afraid that this was just a delaying tactic to get rid of them and then cause some trouble.
"Yes, I'm not tired."
Zhang Lingshan immediately echoed, saying that he would follow the Ice Fairy's arrangements and closely follow her lead.
The old woman scolded, "What do you mean you're not tired? My move just now has already caused you internal injuries, it just hasn't manifested yet. Go and rest quickly to get yourself in better shape. We'll talk about the prodigy assessment later."
As she spoke, she pointed at Zhao Xingqiu and said, "She's thawed too, take her with you. I don't keep anyone here."
He then turned and went into the small hut, and then remained silent.
Seeing her like this, Kong Ruobing knew that it was no use saying anything. The strange old woman was always like this; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to stay in the Ice Spirit Sect.
This was only because she had restrained her temper with her granddaughter; she would have found it even harder to speak to others.
"Let's go."
Ji Buyi smiled and said, "The matter has actually been settled, otherwise the sect leader wouldn't have this attitude. Come back to my place with me to rest first. What the sect leader said is actually right. You haven't stopped since you entered the Golden Immortal realm after the tribulation of lightning. You need to take a break. Junior Sister, you don't need to go. You take Zhao Xingqiu back to your place. This is all the sect leader's idea."
"Humph."
Kong Ruobing snorted coldly, clearly displeased.
Even without Ji Buyi's reminder, she knew what her grandmother meant; it was just the same old cliché about men and women not being able to share a room.
Now, let alone sharing a room, we're not even allowed to share a mountain peak.
"Li Xuanbing, you'll have to make do with Senior Brother Ji for now. Once you pass the prodigy assessment, we'll arrange a new mountain for you."
Kong Ruobing said this before she left.
Ji Buyi suddenly became agitated and shouted, "What do you mean by 'make do with me first'? What's wrong with me? I'm still the number one prodigy!"
"Not any time soon."
Kong Ruobing said calmly, her voice coming from afar, leaving Ji Buyi with only her back view.
Ji Buyi was so angry he almost vomited blood.
I know you're good to Li Xuanbing, but you can't be so good as to strip me, Ji Buyi, of my title as the number one prodigy. That's too much!
Zhang Lingshan said, "Senior brother is about to break through to the Immortal King realm. Once you become an Immortal King, the title of 'prodigy' will naturally be relinquished."
"Yes, haha, not bad, not bad, good junior brother, then I'll take your good wishes."
Ji Buyi's anger turned to joy. He patted Zhang Lingshan on the shoulder and walked down the sect leader's peak with Zhang Lingshan, heading towards his own peak.
After they left, a figure flew out from the sect leader's peak, heading straight towards Anyuan City.
A few days later.
"Senior Brother Ji, the sect leader has something to ask Li Xuanbing to come over. It was Granny Qian who came to invite him personally."
As the number one prodigy, Ji Buyi enjoys a huge mountain peak and must have many followers and subordinates.
At that moment, a subordinate rushed up and said, and seeing that Ji Buyi had also stood up, the subordinate hurriedly added, "Grandma Qian said that the sect leader only invited Li Xuanbing."
Ji Buyi frowned slightly, thinking, 'I hope nothing bad has happened. I need to contact my junior sister quickly and ask her to go check on things.'
Just as he was thinking this, before he could even send a message to Kong Ruobing, a burly, strong woman appeared in front of him.
The figure was extremely imposing. Just standing in front of him made Ji Buyi feel as if he were being crushed by a mountain. Even his breathing became heavy, and he said in a trembling voice, "Qian, Aunt Qian."
Why is it so slow?
The burly woman looked impatient. She picked up Ji Buyi and leaped to the side of another house, saying, "Is Young Master Li Xuanbing here? The sect leader requests your presence."
"I'm here."
Zhang Lingshan slowly walked out of the room, glanced at the weak and powerless Ji Buyi, and thought to himself that this strong woman was too strong, almost as strong as the Great Emperor himself when he did not use the Xuan Tian Wu Ji Transformation.
Ji Buyi was like a puppet in his hands, powerless to resist.
Who would have thought that the number one prodigy would be in such an embarrassing situation?
"Young Master Li, the sect leader is anxious to see you, so please forgive me."
After saying this, Granny Qian casually tossed Ji Buyi into the room. At the same time, she grabbed with her right hand, and a tremendous force lifted Zhang Lingshan up. Then, like a cannonball, she flew towards the sect's main peak.
In the blink of an eye, the sect leader's peak was right in front of them.
Qian Da Po's body suddenly shrank, then slowed down rapidly. When she landed on the sect leader's peak, she was light and graceful, without splashing up a single speck of dust.
"Sect Master, Young Master Li Xuanbing has arrived."
Granny Qian bowed respectfully to the small thatched hut, then vanished without a trace in an instant. (End of Chapter)
