The ice platform that was as smooth as a mirror emitted a hazy cold mist, making the entire ice palace look like a fairyland. A gorgeous carriage stopped on the ice platform. The curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and a young man stuck his head out to look.

"He's still not here. It seems that he doesn't care about the task assigned by the sect at all." The young man muttered, his face filled with dissatisfaction.

"I've already sent a message to Junior Martial Brother. He should be here soon." Qing Mu looked out of the carriage curtain and said indifferently.

Qing Mu hadn't seen Li Jinzhi for nearly half a year. He was very hardworking and his pursuit of power was almost crazy. He didn't participate in the sect's activities and didn't participate in the disciples' entertainment. He really lived up to his reputation as an ascetic cultivator.

When he first entered the sect, there were rumors that Li Jinzhi was able to advance so quickly because he obtained a treasure from a family elder. Some disciples did indeed go to stop him.

But what surprised Qing Mu was that in the end, these people had a good relationship with Li Jinzhi.

Later, when many people saw the young man's behavior that was close to that of an ascetic cultivator, those rumors gradually disappeared. At least, no one blatantly came to Li Jinzhi to ask for anything.

And the list of teams that went out this time actually included Li Jinzhi, which was really shocking.

This kind of task was voluntarily signed up, and there was a lot of profit in it, so most disciples were willing to participate.

But that was only the majority of disciples. In the eyes of an ascetic cultivator, this kind of task could be said to be a waste of time.

This was really strange. Qing Mu couldn't help but be curious. What attracted this young man to be willing to waste time?

Just as she was thinking, an icy white light streaked across the sky like a meteor and finally fell on the ice surface. A young man with a calm face and black hair slowly walked out.

"Oh, it's a sloppy ghost. He didn't even tie up his hair."

The young man pursed his lips and complained in a low voice, "What a disgrace to the sect. Does such a person want to represent the sect to accept disciples?"

Li Jinzhi had just walked to the door of the carriage when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows and cast a spell with one finger. His waist-length hair fluttered without wind and slowly gathered into a bundle. Finally, a piece of Ice Crystals silently multiplied and tied his long hair behind his head.

Qing Mu opened the car door and said to Li Jinzhi, "Junior Brother, you're really skillful. You're only at the eighth level of Qi Refinement, but you've already mastered your Spirit Qi."

"Senior Brothers." Li Jinzhi greeted them respectfully and got into the car. "Hello, Senior Brothers."

"Tsk, I can do that too."

The young man was unconvinced. As he spoke, he tore off the jade hairpin that held his hair together and began to circulate his spiritual energy. A scorching heat wave instantly filled the entire carriage. The young man's hair was slightly raised, but no matter how red his face was, the bunch of hair was still crooked and could not be gathered together.

Qing Mu chuckled and tried to dissuade him. "Junior Brother Xu, you don't know. Junior Brother Li's move just now looked simple and ordinary, but it's actually very mysterious."

She raised her hand and pointed at the young man's scattered hair. "Look, this spiritual energy has to be wrapped around the hair from all directions and the spiritual pressure in each direction has to be the same. Otherwise, it won't be scattered like this."

The young man glared at Li Jinzhi. His face was flushed red, and the spiritual energy he gathered was uneven and abnormally chaotic. With a sizzling sound, the messy black hair instantly emitted a burnt smell. The fire-attribute spiritual energy had directly materialized and burned the young man's hair.

"Oh, Junior Brother, your hair!" The young man sitting on the other side reminded him.

"Ah!" The young man scattered his spiritual energy in a panic and pulled his burning hair over to brush it. "My hair!

My hair! "Looking at his smelly hair, he cried out involuntarily.

"Hey, Junior Brother Xu, cut off the burnt part. It smells really bad." The young man covered his nose and frowned.

"Feng Gu!

What do you mean by that!

My body, hair, and skin belong to my parents!

Is my hair something that can be cut so casually?! "The young man grabbed his hair and stood up.

"Xu Ming, don't tell me you want to keep this burnt hair forever?

You burned it yourself. There's no reason for all of us to suffer with you! "Feng Gu said with dissatisfaction.

Xu Ming wanted to say something, but Qing Mu spoke up. "Okay, okay, Junior Brother Xu, you should be more open-minded. Your body, hair, and skin belong to your parents. It's normal that you can't casually cut it off. However, if you keep this burnt hair, it won't look good when you go out."

She smiled as if comforting him. "We're going to represent our sect. It won't be good if we lose face for our Ice Sect."

When Xu Ming heard this, his expression froze. He hesitated for a moment before sitting down and remaining silent.

"Junior Brother Xu Ming, you don't need to be so hesitant. You were the one who burned your hair first. I'm just removing the burnt part." Feng Gu chuckled. "How about Senior Brother cut it for you?" After saying this, he condensed a wind blade and circled around Xu Ming.

When Xu Ming saw the wind blade circling around him, his pupils shrank. Then, he handed over the burnt hair with some fear. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll have to trouble Senior Brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wind blade swept over. With a "xiu" sound, the hair fell to the ground. However, before it could fall to the ground, it was twisted into pieces by the wind blade and scattered into the air.

When Li Jinzhi saw the burnt hair disappear into the air, his pupils also shrank. The wind blade actually twisted the hair into nothingness in the blink of an eye. The speed and density of the wind blades made one's hair stand on end.

The carriage was silent for a moment. Then, Qing Mu laughed out loud. "Junior Brother Feng Gu's control of wind spiritual energy has become even more exquisite." After saying this, she looked out the window. "Let's set off now. We'll go to the nearest Extreme Snow City first." After saying this, she formed a seal and struck the white horse.

Extreme Snow City was the city where the female lead, Ye Dieer, and the villain, Ye Cheng, resided. When Li Jinzhi heard the name of the city, he raised his eyebrows. He quickly recalled the information related to Extreme Snow City.

According to the records of the Northern Region, Extreme Snow City was covered by heavy snow all year round. That was how it got its name.

It was located to the west of the Northern Frozen Realm and was adjacent to Extreme Snow City in the north. There was a natural ice wall between them as a barrier, so the two cities didn't interact much.

When Li Jinzhi first went to the library, he flipped through a large amount of general knowledge about this place.

He knew that this place called the Green Scorch Continent was divided into five regions. The Northern Frozen Realm was located at the northernmost part of the continent. It was covered in ice and snow. Because cultivators from other regions weren't used to the climate here, this place was the most isolated. Over time, it didn't have much contact with other regions.

The Northern Frozen Realm was divided into the Immortal Sect and the Devil Sect.

The Immortal Sect occupied the northwest side of this region. Yibing Sect was the head of the Immortal Sect. Its subordinate cities were Extreme Snow City, Extreme Snow City, and Extreme Snow City.

Every year, Yibing Sect would send disciples to recruit disciples with spiritual roots.

The other sects of the Immortal Sect, such as Silage Sect and Seven Emotions Sect, also had a subordinate city. However, the scale was far smaller than Yibing Sect's.

The Devil Sect occupied the southeast side, led by the Devil Sect. Its scale was about the same as the Immortal Sect's. Therefore, the two sects were balanced. For many years, they lived in harmony.

"Last year, an Ye Dieer appeared in Extreme Snow City. I don't know if there are any surprises waiting for us this year." Feng Gu smiled and looked out the window.

"How can we be so lucky? A heavenly spiritual root is hard to come by. I heard that the Spirit Realm is full of spiritual power. Heavenly spiritual roots can be found everywhere." Qing Mu smiled and shook her head. "I don't know if I'll be able to go to the Spirit Realm in my lifetime."

Perhaps Qing Mu's words were too heavy. For a moment, the atmosphere in the carriage was oppressive. Outside the carriage, the horses galloped. The strong wind was mixed with snow. Through the window, they could see an icy white city gate standing alone in the snow.

The carriage came to a stop at the city gate. Qing Mu handed a talisman to the city gate, and the white steed let out a long neigh before galloping into a huge fortress. When the carriage came to a stop, the group exited the fortress in a single file.

Li Jinzhi looked around without batting an eyelid. The hall was full of people. There were many young boys and girls standing behind the guest seats. They were probably the younger generation of the Ye Clan who were preparing to test their spiritual roots.

The middle-aged man in the main seat walked down with a faint smile and welcomed Qing Mu and the others to their seats. "Immortal masters have come from afar. This city has prepared the best spiritual tea for everyone to enjoy."

Li Jinzhi sat in the last seat. Holding a teacup, he secretly looked at the Ye Clan Master who came down from the main seat. The man was no longer young. His sword-like eyebrows slanted to his temples and his sharp eagle eyes made him full of masculinity.

His brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He felt that these eyebrows were very familiar. However, he had only been in this world for a little more than a year. How could he have met the Ye Clan Master?

"Who should we start with?" Qing Mu sat in the main seat and said with a testing plate in her hand.

The Ye Clan Master smiled and said, "Huo 'er, you go first."

The young boys and girls standing in the hall were tested one by one. The highest was only a three-spirit root. There were two or three who did not have any spirit roots. Li Jinzhi put down the spiritual tea in his hand. He was very puzzled.

Among these young boys, there was not a single one named Ye Cheng!

The villain in the original novel, Ye Cheng, seemed to have entered the Ice Sect this year. However, he did not appear now. Could it be that he did not transmigrate into the book?

Instead, it was a cultivation world that was very similar to that book?

All kinds of questions troubled Li Jinzhi. He did not even hear Qing Mu calling him twice.

"Junior Brother?

Junior Brother? "Qing Mu stood in front of Li Jinzhi and said with a smile," Junior Brother, what are you thinking about? "

"Nothing."

Li Jinzhi suddenly came back to his senses. He was slightly embarrassed and said, "I was just thinking about the scene when I participated in the sect's internal test."

"Haha, the test is over. Follow the Ye Clan Master to the banquet." Qing Mu stepped aside.

Only then did Li Jinzhi see that everyone had stood up and walked to the door.

"Haha, I'm afraid this immortal master is tired from the long journey." The Ye Clan Master said with a smile, "Follow me to the spiritual banquet. We have prepared a good room." With that, he turned and walked out.

Li Jinzhi, who had just taken two steps, suddenly stopped. His eyes were fixed on the Ye Clan Master who had walked far away.

No wonder he felt that his eyes and brows were familiar. No wonder he felt that he had seen those eyes and brows somewhere before!

His eyes and brows were clearly similar to his little slave's!

However, Ye Cheng's eyes still carried the simplicity of a young boy. On the other hand, the Ye Clan Master's eyes were sharper and had the aura of a superior.

Li Jinzhi did not recognize him just now because the man's face was square and made him look masculine. On the other hand, Ye Cheng's face made him look slender and handsome.

But how could Ye Cheng look so similar to the Ye Clan Master?

Ye Cheng?

Could it be?!!

No, it can't be!

How could the Li Clan's Ye Cheng be the Ye Clan's chrysanthemum crazed demon?!

The name Ye Cheng was clearly given by him, but the other party's surname was Ye. However, his Ye Cheng had already died in the original novel. Could there really be such a coincidence in the world that the two of them could have such similar lives?

Li Jinzhi held his chopsticks and mechanically poked at the rice. He actually lost his appetite. He just wanted to hurry back to the Li Clan's Fort and ask Ye Cheng about it.

"Senior Brother, which city are we going to tomorrow?" Li Jinzhi tilted his head and asked Qing Mu.

"Extreme Ice City's Feng Clan." Qing Mu raised his chin. "There, Feng Gu is the illegitimate son of the Feng Clan."

Li Jinzhi pursed his lips and said awkwardly, "Senior Brother, Jingzhi wants to go home early. Why don't I wait for you in Extreme Domain City?"

"Of course."

Qing Mu glanced at Li Jinzhi's bowl and smiled mockingly. "I thought you were restless from just now. It turns out you were homesick."

"Thank you for your understanding, Senior Brother." Li Jinzhi smiled gratefully.

After the meal, Li Jinzhi bade farewell to the three of them and turned into a beam of light that shot away. After a few flashes, he disappeared into the horizon.

Xu Ming looked at the direction Li Jinzhi disappeared with gloomy eyes. He pursed his lips and muttered, "He actually regarded the sect's mission as nothing."

Feng Gu lazily leaned against a pillar and yawned. "Junior Martial Brother Li, for you to be so anxious, something must have happened." His eyes seemed to be deep in thought.

The white beam of light cut across the horizon. Li Jinzhi, who was in the beam of light, kept speeding up. The doubts in his mind grew stronger and stronger. Two pairs of extremely similar eyebrows kept changing and intertwining until they became one.

He hoped it was just a coincidence!

Half a day later, the white beam of light finally saw Heart Infant Lake. The city gate of Extreme Domain City stood at the end of the horizon, and Li Jinzhi's beam of light suddenly swayed a few times above Heart Infant Lake before falling straight down.
