Chapter 582: Torch Family
Among the mountains in the forest and frost plain, a ripple suddenly appeared on the stone wall of a valley, and then a human figure appeared as it continued to wriggle.
The mountain giant transformed by Lu Yuan walked out of the mountain. After searching in the valley, he couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
“This last spot has actually already been collected.”
Not long ago, after searching Ding Yang's soul, Lu Yuan found several secret places where he had collected burning frost. But unfortunately, Ding Yang had not entered the Linhai Frost Plain for more than a hundred years, and most of these secret places had been discovered by other frost collectors. Lu Yuan only collected a little burning frost in one of them.
If Lu Yuan wants to get more Burning Frost now, he can only look for the place where the Burning Frost gathers by himself, or try his luck in the deeper part of the Linhai Frost Plain.
Lu Yuan thought about it for a while. Now that he had a high-level borer by his side, he didn't have to worry too much about the suppression of the Burning Frost Realm. Moreover, he also had the innate magical power of the mountain giant, the "Mountain Walk" method.
Lu Yuan had just verified that by integrating himself into the mountain and traveling through it with the help of the mountains and rivers of the forest and frost plain, he could avoid more accidents.
However, the mountains of Linhai Frost Plain are affected by the Burning Frost Realm after all, so when Lu Yuan travels through it, he consumes several times more mana than in the outside world.
According to this calculation, it would be difficult for Lu Yuan to safely reach the core area of Linhai Frost Plain with his magic power.
After some deep thought, Lu Yuan thought that the most time-saving and labor-saving method was to use the Ming family's array eye to teleport. So he didn't waste any more time, and after confirming the direction, Lu Yuan prepared to return.
......
Lanshuang City, Ju Family.
Upon hearing that Lu Yuan was coming to visit, the ancestor of the Ju family came to the gate of the mansion to greet him in person with a look of great joy on his face.
"Daoyou, are you preparing——"
"This doesn't seem to be the place to have a conversation." Without waiting for the ancestor of the Ju family to finish speaking, Lu Yuan smiled slightly.
Seeing the reaction of the ancestor of the Ju family, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel more confident about the purpose of this trip.
"You are right, fellow Daoist. Please come in!" The ancestor of the Ju family also realized that he had lost his composure and quickly invited Lu Yuan into the house.
The area occupied by the Ju family is not much smaller than that of the Ming family, and is dozens of miles wide.
This was Lu Yuan's first time visiting the Ju family, so he naturally used his spiritual sense to secretly scan the area along the way to make sure that there was nothing disadvantageous to him.
However, halfway through the journey, Lu Yuan stopped and turned to look in a certain direction.
"Why did you stop, fellow Daoist?" asked the ancestor of the Ju family.
"Nothing, I just seemed to sense a slightly familiar aura."
"Oh, is there anyone in my family that you know?" The ancestor of the Ju family looked in the direction he was looking at with a look of surprise, and at the same time, he also covered the place with his spiritual thoughts.
At this time, in a small square about a few miles away from them, two figures were walking one in front and one behind.
Both of them were divine generals, but the one behind was not from the Ju family, but a pure ancient demon with green wings on its back. However, the ancient demon seemed to have something to ask of the Ju family member in front, and kept saying nice things with a smile on his face.
After the ancestor of the Ju family sensed these through his divine sense, he moved his lips slightly and transmitted a message to the Ju family member among the two.
Not long after, two beams of light flew in front of Lu Yuan and the ancestor of the Ju family.
"Greetings, ancestor, and seniors." One of the old men, dressed in the clothes of the Ju family, was the first to greet.
The other ancient demon with green wings on his back also followed suit and saluted the ancestor of the Chaoju family. Then when he saluted Lu Yuan, he was surprised.
"Senior, is it you?"
"Qing Huan, why are you here?" Lu Yuan asked the ancient demon.
This ancient demon was actually the impoverished Green Winged royal family that had done business with Lu Yuan at the auction house before.
"My dear senior, I would like to ask the Ju family to help me refine a magic weapon, so..." Qing Huan briefly explained the matter.
"Ju Ping, I saw that young friend Qing Huan seemed to be in some trouble just now. Could it be that you made things difficult for him?" The ancestor of the Ju family saw that Qing Huan knew Lu Yuan, and at the same time remembered Qing Huan's previous attitude towards his family members, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Old Ancestor, you can see clearly that this Daoist Qinghuan really wants to ask us for help in refining a magic weapon. However, we have received too many orders recently and it is not Daoist Qinghuan's turn yet. That's why he keeps asking us." The old man explained with a little panic.
"Oh? Since this young man has come to ask several times, you can let him cut in line." The ancestor of the Ju family glanced at Lu Yuan and then gave the order.
"Follow the arrangements of the ancestor."
Qing Huan was overjoyed when he heard that, and then bowed to Lu Yuan with gratitude.
Although Lu Yuan never said a word for him from beginning to end, he knew very well in his heart that the ancestor of the Ju family obviously opened the back door for him for Lu Yuan's sake.
Lu Yuan still didn't say anything, but just looked at Qing Huan meaningfully for a few times, and then left at the invitation of the ancestor of the Ju family.
......
In the main hall of the Ju family, Lu Yuan looked at the ancestor of the Ju family opposite him. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a fist-sized ball of air appeared, the surface of which was wrapped in pure original demonic energy.
"What is this?" The ancestor of the Ju family guessed something and confirmed with a little joy.
"One tenth of the spiritual essence extracted from the Bodhi seeds is no more, no less."
"Fellow Daoist, do you agree to give away some of the spiritual essence in the Bodhi seeds?" The ancestor of the Ju family asked Lu Yuan expectantly.
"That depends on whether Brother Daoist Ju can come up with conditions that will impress me." Lu Yuan said calmly.
"A condition that will make you excited..." The ancestor of the Torch family smiled bitterly, and then continued with a slight request: "If you still insist on asking me to exchange it with Burning Frost, it is really a bit difficult. Please change the condition for the sake of your friend just now."
"Well, since fellow Daoist is unwilling to give up the Burning Frost, could you please tell me the place where the Ju family controls to collect frost, and I will go and collect it myself." Lu Yuan said after a slight hesitation.
"This... Fellow Daoist, you should know that the Frost Picking Land is the foundation for our families to gain a foothold in Blue Frost City. It is even more impossible to tell others about it."
"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. It seems like my trip is in vain." Seeing this, Lu Yuan's face was full of disappointment. He then put away what he was holding and was about to get up and leave.
"Wait a minute, fellow Daoist!" The ancestor of the Ju family became anxious upon seeing this.
But Lu Yuan remained unmoved and stood up as usual.
Seeing that Lu Yuan had no intention of staying any longer, the ancestor of the Ju family gritted his teeth and spoke again: "The Ju family's frost-collecting place cannot be told to you, but I do have a few locations where frost may gather, which I can provide to you."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan paused and finally showed an interested look on his face.
