Li Jinzhi's body stiffened. His clothes were messy and his face was flushed. He squinted his eyes and looked out of the car. "It's warm."

Qing Mu looked embarrassed and doubtful. "I see." She quickly put down the curtain and said to Li Zongyin, "Junior Brother's spirit energy needs to be adjusted."

"You're right, Master Immortal," Li Zongyin said with a smile.

Li Jinzhi wanted to say something, but the little chopsticks in his arms ground her teeth and let go. "Ao Mei Ao Ao!!!"

Put on your clothes!!!

Li Jinzhi's face twitched when he heard the little one's possessive words. He quickly pulled up his clothes and wiped his face. "Senior Brother, I'm fine now."

Qing Mu glanced at him through the gap of the curtain. She looked at him questioningly and finally nodded. "Your parents miss you very much. Come down quickly."

Li Jinzhi paused and raised his eyebrows. "Miss me?"

Whether it was in the original world or here, it seemed that there was no one who truly missed him.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw many people in the hall. A plump woman rushed over. "Jingzhi, you must have suffered a lot in the sect this year, right?

Did your fellow disciples bully you? "

It was the official mother, Mrs. Liu. The woman's voice was full of tears. After she finished acting, she looked around, "Your brother, he didn't come back?"

Li Jinzhi's expression was indifferent, without the slightest ripple. Just a moment ago, when Madame Liu said that her fellow disciples had bullied her, several of her fellow disciples had already shown displeasure. "Living in an immortal sect is better than living at home."

Qing Mu looked at Madam Liu unhappily and then looked at Li Jinzhi. "Li Jintang's mother?"

"Yes."

"Of course."

After crying for a long time, Mrs. Liu felt bored. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said with a gentle smile, "This time, you came at the right time. Your cousin Sisi will also participate in the exam this time. With a cousin like you taking care of her, mother will feel more at ease." After saying that, she pushed the woman behind her to the front.

Hu Sisi had grown into a slender and elegant woman. Her facial features were exquisite and her hair was black and shiny. She was beautiful and generous. She greeted him sweetly, "Cousin." She had improved a lot compared to a year ago when she could not hide her thoughts.

Li Jinzhi looked him up and down, suppressing the hatred and disgust in his heart. He replied faintly. Thinking of the arrangement last night, the corner of his mouth inadvertently curled up.

"The next participant, Hu Sisi." Xu Ming held a compass and called out the names.

A trace of joy flashed across Hu Sisi's face. She bowed to Li Jinzhi and walked towards the center of the hall. Her posture was elegant and generous. "Thank you for your trouble."

The youth surnamed Xu seemed to have a good impression of Hu Sisi. The seriousness on his face faded a little and he said softly, "No problem. Junior Sister, please place your hand on the compass and condense the spiritual energy in your dantian."

"Yes." Hu Sisi smiled gently.

The new disciple who asked Hu Sisi just now stared at her and clenched his fists. His eyes were full of infatuation.

The young girl placed her snow-white hand on the compass and closed her eyes to condense her spiritual energy. The room suddenly fell silent. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the compass and they held their breaths.

Hu Sisi, who had her eyes closed, suddenly frowned. Her hand on the compass suddenly tightened, as if she was scratching something uneasily.

"Huh?"

The head of the Li family, who was sitting on the main seat, exclaimed in surprise. He propped himself up. "She can't even use the slightest bit of spiritual energy?"

"What!"

Madam Liu exclaimed softly. Her face was full of disbelief. "How is that possible? Sisi clearly has dual spiritual roots of fire and wood!"

At this time, Hu Sisi had already opened her eyes in astonishment. She looked at Madam Liu helplessly. Her big eyes were rippling with tears. She looked very pitiful. "Aunt?"

Li Zongyin stepped forward and grabbed Hu Sisi's wrist. He closed his eyes and didn't speak. After a while, he opened his eyes in astonishment. "Your dantian is empty. You haven't even reached the first step of Dao?"

Li Jinzhi smiled and lowered his eyelids, blocking the haze in his black eyes. He sealed Hu Sisi's hundred major acupoints with ice, so that she would never be able to reach the Great Dao. She would have to watch her face grow old bit by bit and suffer the waste of time. It must be more painful than directly killing her.

Before the corners of his mouth could curl up, the joy in his heart was filled with suppressed guilt. Even if he killed his enemy, he couldn't call Ye Cheng back.

His bony hands, his thin body, the young man with a simple and honest smile was his only companion in this world. Because of his wrong decision, he might never come back.

Li Jinzhi was pulled back to reality by a numbing pain.

"Stop fooling around." Li Jinzhi frowned. His fingers hidden in his robe gently rubbed the Little Dragon on his wrist.

"Mama, don't be sad." His voice was soft.

Why did he feel even sadder? "Aren't you only able to speak bird language?"

"I've merged with Mama's blood, so I can speak Mama's language."

The Little Ice Blue Dragon in his sleeve rubbed Li Jinzhi with its head. It had a human-like expression of infatuation on its face. "Mama."

"Don't call me Mama." Li Jinzhi weakly added, "I'm a man. I can't be Mama."

"Papa?" The Little Ice Blue Dragon paused and asked hesitantly.

"Up to you."

Li Jinzhi comforted himself. Then, he was stunned. "Why do you have this jade pendant?

Have you seen the owner of the jade pendant? "

The Little Ice Blue Dragon's body stiffened. It did not speak immediately. After a long time, it said hesitantly, "I don't remember."

"Then why do you feel close to me?" Li Jinzhi's eyes flashed and he asked.

"Your smell. Papa's temperature makes me feel very familiar."

After the Little Ice Blue Dragon finished speaking, its rough scales gently rubbed Li Jinzhi's arm. Its voice was sticky and full of nostalgia. "There seems to be a voice telling me that I'm waiting for the person with this smell to come back and pick me up."

Li Jinzhi was stunned for a moment. Wait?

Why did he suddenly feel goosebumps all over his body, as if he was being watched by some spirit behind him?

In the dark corner of his wide sleeve, the Little Ice Blue Dragon's ice-white head rubbed against his jade-white arm. A wisp of black air slowly swept across the ice-white scales on its face. Its pitch-black eyes were deep, as if hiding thousands of emotions.

Jingzhi.

"This is impossible!"

A sharp female voice broke the silence in the room. Hu Sisi's expression was ferocious as she panted heavily. Her nostrils flared rapidly, and she snatched the spell plate from Xu Ming's hand. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she kept muttering, "Impossible, impossible, I have dual spiritual roots of wood and fire. I can practice the Ice Seal Spell. Impossible, impossible, there must be something wrong."

She turned her head and grabbed the Liu family's head. "Aunt, tell me. You saw my spiritual roots test when I was a year old. How can I not have any spiritual roots? Aunt, tell me!"

The Liu family's head was frightened by Hu Sisi's ferocious expression, and her wrist was hurting. "Sisi, let go first. I'm afraid the one-year-old test is not very accurate. Look, your cousin Jingzhi didn't have any spiritual roots at the one-year-old test. Last year, he had dual spiritual roots of ice and wood, so it's not accurate."

"Impossible!"

Hu Sisi screamed. Her black hair was messy, and her eyes were bloodshot. "Li Jinzhi's one-year-old test was obviously done by Aunt. Otherwise, the test would not be inaccurate.

Done?

Could it be that someone did something to my body?! "

She rushed in front of Li Zongyin and repeated with a panicked expression, "Uncle, you have to get justice for me. Someone must be trying to harm me!"

Li Zongyin shook off Hu Sisi's hand and fiercely turned his head to look at the Liu family's head. He was shocked and angry at the same time. His lips trembled for a long time, but he was unable to say a word. "You, you, you, you!!!"

The Liu family's face turned pale. She frowned and raised her hand to slap Hu Sisi's cheek.

Slap!

"Who told you to talk nonsense?!

Trash will always be trash. You don't have spiritual roots, but you can't rely on the Dharma Plate. Our Li family can't afford to lose face like this. Tomorrow, I'll ask your father to take you back! "

The Liu family's head was filled with hatred. Her palm and long nails scratched Hu Sisi's face. Four bloody scratches appeared on her skin. "Li An, Li Quan, come and drag this crazy woman out!"

Two tall servants rushed in from outside and rudely dragged Hu Sisi out. The woman's screams and curses gradually faded away, and the room returned to silence.

The head of the Li family looked at the livid Li Zongyin and laughed loudly. "Hey, she's just a distant relative. There's no need to make such a big fuss. Who's going to take the test next?

Hurry up, Master Immortal's time is precious. "

Li Jinzhi watched the whole farce and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He thought that the new disciple who questioned Hu Sisi in the carriage would speak up for her, but he didn't expect that the other party would just watch the whole farce without saying a word.

After thinking about it carefully, he understood that the other party only liked Hu Sisi, who was blessed by the heavens, and not a useless shrew with no spiritual roots. Naturally, there was no need for him to help her. It was not worth it to anger his future senior and the Li family for no reason.

There was no true love in the cultivation world. After Li Jinzhi sighed, he silently crossed out the word "harem" in his heart.

After the farce, the whole hall returned to order. The juniors who were waiting to take the test came forward one by one. After half an hour, the whole test was coming to an end.

Qing Mu declined the head of the Li family's offer to stay the night and led the new disciple back to the sect. Thus, the sect mission that lasted three days was officially completed.

Li Jinzhi bid farewell to the other senior and junior brothers on the Immortal Platform, but Qing Mu stopped him.

"Junior Brother, please wait."

Qing Mu waved his hand and asked Feng Gu to leave with the new disciple. He pulled Li Jinzhi to a corner of the Immortal Platform. "Junior Brother, I have something to invite you to participate in."

Li Jinzhi nodded. "Senior Brother, just say it."

"It's like this. Half a year later, the Ice Cave will be opened. At that time, all the Qi Refinement disciples in the entire Northern Frozen Domain will participate," Qing Mu said slowly.

Li Jinzhi thought for a moment and understood. "Senior Brother, you're already in the Foundation Establishment stage. This kind of grand event naturally has nothing to do with you. Senior Brother, you're probably looking for me because of Senior Sister Die 'er, right?"

He was an inner sect itinerant cultivator who didn't have a sect to rely on. Moreover, he was one of the rare itinerant cultivators who had great strength. The other party was probably trying to rope him in.

With a plan in mind, Li Jinzhi looked at Qing Mu with a strange expression. Trying to shove the female lead to the male lead's side, this guy's heart was about to leak.

However, the male lead in the original novel seemed to have met the injured female lead Ye Dieer in the mystic realm. At that time, the Ye Dieer was already mute.

If it was in the past, Li Jinzhi would avoid any plot that might have something to do with the fake female lead.

But this time, he hesitated. He actually hoped that the mute Ye Dieer was Ye Cheng. Perhaps, that way, he could find him and know that he was still alive.

Although he wasn't completely sure whether this Ye Cheng was that Ye Cheng.

Qing Mu's ears turned red, but her expression was still calm. "Yes, to be honest, Junior Brother, Die 'er is inexperienced. I'm afraid that she'll be in danger in the mystic realm. Therefore, I wanted to invite Junior Brother and Junior Sister to go together so that we can take care of each other."

Qing Mu smiled shyly. "Moreover, Junior Brother doesn't have a sect to rely on. If you enter the mystic realm alone, even if you encounter an opportunity, I'm afraid that you won't be able to protect it when you come out."

Li Jinzhi was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind and said firmly, "Senior Brother is right. If I'm not strong enough, I'm afraid that I'll be forced to hand over the benefits when I come out. Senior Brother, you have to suggest that I agree."

"Okay, I'll tell Junior Sister now."

Qing Mu's face flashed with joy. "Then Junior Brother, go ahead and do your work. You have to improve your strength as soon as possible in the next six months. You have to know that there are countless tenth level Qi Refinement cultivators in the Ice Maze Palace."

Li Jinzhi nodded solemnly and took his leave.

He took the mission card to hand in the mission and returned to the cave residence. The ice room was as empty as before. Other than the ice furniture that he had when he first arrived, he didn't add any new things.

Li Jinzhi sat cross-legged on the futon, but he wasn't in the mood to cultivate. For a moment, he was at a loss. His original obsession with cultivation was to bring Ye Cheng over. For this goal, he cultivated desperately and strived to reach the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible.

However, the other party was missing. If he was alive, he couldn't find him. If he was dead, he couldn't find his corpse.

The helplessness he felt when he first came to this damned place quietly emerged again.

"Squeak."

There was a very soft whimper. Li Jinzhi had no choice but to interrupt his mournful thoughts. He put his hand into his lapel expressionlessly and groped around. He didn't hit the target. The small chopsticks had already bypassed his chest at an extremely fast speed and attacked his back.

Helpless, he stretched his hand to his back again. He still didn't hit the target. "Be more self-aware. Come out on your own." He threatened.

"I won't come out!

PaPa doesn't want to go on a date with a female cultivator! "Little Jiao's voice rose, and there was a hint of grievance in its shrill voice." I want to eat her!

PaPa belongs to me alone! "

"You're a Jiao."

Li Jinzhi calmly corrected it. "And that's not a date. It's just an act of mutual help with a purpose and conditions."

"Then … then PaPa belongs to only me!" It hesitated.

"I'm not only a Jiao." Something seemed strange.

"Anyway, PaPa can't go!"

The strip-like creature in his lapel tossed up and down. Its small hooked claws scratched randomly, trying to show its dissatisfaction.

Li Jinzhi's face darkened. He pursed his lips and endured. After a certain point was teased by a sharp object, his patience ran out. He stood up, untied his belt, took off his clothes, pinched it, threw it out, and closed the door.

Little Jiao, who was thrown out of the room, unexpectedly stopped all its movements. It adjusted its posture and half-squatted on the ground. Its pitch-black mung bean eyes stared at the closed ice door.

A wisp of ice-white essence bead was spat out from its small mouth. The small bead spun and emitted cold air. Little Jiao raised its two claws and gently lifted the bead. With a "bang", the ice fog dispersed. A Jiao that looked exactly like little Jiao appeared in the stone room.

The pupils of the little Jiao transformed from the bead were dim. Its eyes were blank, and it quietly lay on the ground.

"Don't drink its blood. Don't let it have intimate contact with others."

There was a satisfied look in the mung bean eyes of the small chopsticks. After giving the order, it looked at the closed stone door, turned around, and walked toward the cave's restriction. It went out in a flash.

The restriction of the stone room didn't have the slightest ripple. It was as if there was no mistake.
