Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

What surprised him most was the news about the Ice Spirit Fruit, which was exactly the main ingredient in the Ice Soul Pill he was looking for! He made an appointment with Li Mu to set out in three days to search for the spirit fruit.

In the next few days, Liu Xing informed the corresponding Jindan stage brothers and sisters of the remaining fifty or so pieces of information and asked them to connect and search on their own.

They didn't expect to get the news so soon, which made the seniors overjoyed and they highly praised Junior Brother Liu's ability.

Li Mu was waiting at the north gate of the Qianji Sect. Today was the day he had agreed with Deputy Sect Leader Liu to search for the elixir. He longed for Deputy Sect Leader Liu's reward, a great opportunity for him. At the same time, he prayed that the Ice Spirit Fruit was still there, untouched.

Liu Xing disguised himself as a bearded man, subduing his aura and appearing to be only at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. From a distance, he saw Li Mu pacing back and forth at the doorway. He only glanced up when Liu Xing reached him, not recognizing him.

"Junior Brother Li, let's go." Liu Xing smiled in his heart and sent a message to Li Mu.

"Ah, Liu..." Li Mu was shocked. The Jindan master was indeed unfathomable. Facing Liu Xing's disguise, he could not see any trace at all.

"No need to say anything more, just follow me." Liu Xing stopped him from saying anything else. A surge of magical power came, and Li Mu suddenly felt that he could not make any sound.

Liu Xing unleashed a flying sword, slowly and steadily flying forward. Li Mu, understanding his intention, immediately followed. As soon as Liu Xing left the city gate, he sensed several subtle spiritual senses probing him. To avoid alerting the enemy, he didn't track down the probers.

In this way, they flew for more than two hours and covered more than fifty miles. Liu Xing deliberately slowed down so that Li Mu could keep up. At this time, all the spiritual senses that had been used to explore the area disappeared, and Liu Xing finally felt relieved.

"Okay, I'll take you flying!" Liu Xing stopped and said to Li Mu. Li Mu was breathless as if he had been pardoned. The Jindan masters were indeed beyond his reach. Deputy Sect Leader Liu was calm and composed, while he had to fly with all his might just to keep up.

Liu Xing raised his hand slightly, and Jiao Jiao flew out of the pet bag. Suddenly, an astonishing demonic aura rose into the sky. He flew around Liu Xing in a circle, and the smiling dragon face rubbed Liu Xing's chest, looking intimate and cheerful.

At this time, Li Mu was so scared that his face turned pale and his legs were trembling. Facing the ferocious level five monster, he felt that he was not enough to fill the other party's teeth.

After playing around for a while, Jiao Jiao spread its huge wings and landed steadily in front of Liu Xing. Liu Xing waved his hand and took Li Mu to stand on the dragon's back, and casually set up a protective shield to protect Li Mu from being torn apart by the storm.

"Let's go, Jiao Jiao." Liu Xing transmitted the message through his mind.

"Ao!" With a dragon roar, Jiao Jiao flapped his wings and flew away. He was so fast that he covered a hundred meters in an instant.

Li Mu felt a bit suffocated standing on the dragon's back, dizzy from the sheer speed. He was so frightened that he immediately held his breath and used a heavy weight to steady himself. Fortunately, Liu Xing's shield protected him, so he didn't feel the storm tearing him apart.

In the late stages of foundation building, Liu Xing and Jiao Jiao could travel a thousand miles a day. Now that they had reached the Jindan stage, their speed had doubled, reaching two thousand miles a day. So, a journey of twenty thousand miles that once took Li Mu over two months took Liu Xing only ten days.

This refreshed Li Mu's understanding of the strength of the masters who had reached the Jindan stage. He secretly made up his mind to work hard to cultivate and form a golden elixir, so that his life in this world would not be in vain.

"This is the snow-capped mountain area you described. You lead the way." Liu Xing stopped, looked at the snow-capped mountains stretching for thousands of miles ahead, and said to Li Mu.

"Yes, sir." Li Mu released his spiritual sense and sensed the direction. Although more than twenty years had passed, the geographical environment had not changed much, so he quickly identified the direction.

He simply pointed toward a distant river. He didn't take Liu Xing into the mountains. Liu Xing immediately realized that Li Mu was quite clever. He'd entered the ice cave because the formation had shifted, so he had no idea where the entrance was. Searching the mountains aimlessly would have been a waste of time. It would be better to start from the exit and work backwards to find the ice cave.

"Deputy Sect Leader Liu, I escaped from the underground river of this river. We can go upstream along the underground river and find the location of the ice cave." Li Mu suggested.

"Just look for it the way you said." Liu Xing nodded in agreement.

Jiao Jiao led the two into the river. A dragon in the water was like a tiger with wings, its speed even greater than in the air. A water shield suddenly appeared, shielding the two from the splashing water. Soon, Jiao Jiao found the exit of the underground river and swam upstream.

The river was swift and full of monsters, but the aura of Jiao Jiao, a Level 5 monster, rushed in, frightening the smaller monsters into fleeing and hiding in muddy holes, daring not to make a sound. There was even a Level 4 monster, which Jiao Jiao swallowed in one gulp.

Li Mu was so frightened that his face turned pale. He remembered that he had escaped from such a dangerous place twenty years ago. He was really lucky.

Liu Xing remained calm and composed, oblivious to all this, his hands behind his back, looking as if he had everything under control. Meanwhile, Li Mu's admiration for Liu Xing was as unstoppable as a torrent of water.

The river water was getting colder and colder. Liu Xing's consciousness was constantly exploring the front, and he could clearly feel the temperature dropping. It seemed that they were getting closer to the ice cave, and he was full of anticipation.

The underground river was hundreds of miles away, but for Jiao Jiao, it only took half a day to reach the river, and Liu Xing also sensed that he had reached the belly of a giant mountain.

At the end of the dark river, a ban blocked the way, and a slight cold wind blew, making people extremely uncomfortable.

"Li Mu, wait here for me. I'll go in and look for spiritual fruits," Liu Xing ordered. Then he thought again, this place is full of dangers, and Li Mu's strength is insufficient. Don't let him die. So he released Duoduo. With Duoduo, a peak-level fourth-level demon beast, protecting them should be foolproof.

Another unfathomable giant monster. Li Mu was horrified, but also deeply moved. Deputy Head Liu had left behind his most capable assistant to protect him. Duoduo glanced at Li Mu and dozed off on a dry stone platform.

Liu Xing put away his Jiao Jiao and began searching for a weak spot in the barrier. This was a rather ancient formation, at least several thousand years old, Liu Xing estimated. It had harnessed the icy power of the entire snowy mountain to create a formation protecting the ice cave. Due to its age, the barrier had weakened, allowing Li Mu to stumble into the ice cave.
