Chapter 618 Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice
With Xiaoyu as the translator, communication between the two sides became much smoother.
"Xiaoyu, ask them where they got this mysterious ice from?"
Chen Yunhao tossed the Xuanbing Ice Spear in his hand.
Xiaoyu nodded to the one-eyed monster, and then the tall one-eyed monster pointed and said some incomprehensible words.
Chen Yunhao looked in the direction of his finger, and it was under the ice peak where he came from.
There is a small cave under the ice peak, and a hint of cold air comes out of the cave from time to time.
"Brother, there is black ice deep beneath the ice peak..."
"Xiaoyu, tell them that if they take me to collect some black ice, I'm willing to exchange with them...!"
This is Chen Yunhao's character. He is a little clever, but overall he is gentle and has principles.
If a more ruthless cultivator had been in his place this time, he would have killed these one-eyed monsters one by one, and the black ice underground would have been available for him to use at will.
Chen Yunhao thought more about it. As the saying goes, harmony brings wealth, so it would be nice if he could make a deal happily.
Don’t let the smaller one get you and attract the bigger one, or it will be a fight to the death!
After Chen Yunhao finished speaking, he used the same old routine again, took out a huge sword, waved his hand and threw it to the one-eyed monster who was leading the group.
Through transactions with the barbarians, Chen Yunhao knew that the giant sword had great potential and was a hot commodity among certain races.
Just look at the ice spears that the one-eyed monsters are using, which are hand-polished from black ice, and you will know how backward and primitive they are.
Although the black ice is very hard, that is relative. It cannot be compared with the giant swords refined by monks.
Although the one-eyed monster didn't have much experience, after all, it might not encounter a human being in the far north for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Just because he had little experience didn't mean he didn't know the value of things. The one-eyed monster's eyes were shining, and he held the giant sword in both hands, muttering to himself, as if it were a rare treasure.
This giant sword looks good. It is light gold in color and more than half a meter long. It has edges on both sides and is extremely sharp. A light flick of the sword will produce a crisp echo.
The one-eyed monster swung the giant sword in one hand, and an ice spear as thick as an arm was easily broken into two pieces.
With a loud bang, all the one-eyed monsters at the scene were frightened. They had never seen such a magical weapon before. They had long forgotten Chen Yunhao standing aside and swarmed in front of their leader.
After a long while, under the loud scolding of the leader, the other one-eyed geniuses dispersed again.
The one-eyed monster leader was not stupid. He talked a lot to Xiaoyu and then stretched out three fingers.
"Brother, that big guy said he wants three giant swords before he's willing to take you down there to collect the best black ice...!"
"Promise him, but you have to take me down first...!"
There is nothing to think about. In Chen Yunhao's opinion, the black ice is more valuable than the giant sword.
This giant sword can be refined by any first or second level weapon refiner in the human realm, but black ice is an innate resource, and every bit of it is used is one bit less.
Moreover, it is not an easy task to get Xuanbing from Xuanbing Province to the human territory. The journey is long, so the added value of this part is very high.
Therefore, in the human world, the value of black ice is far higher than that of the giant sword, so Chen Yunhao will not suffer any loss no matter how he does this deal.
After Xiaoyu and the one-eyed monster leader communicated again, the two sides reached an agreement.
The leader of the Dumu monster led more than a dozen tribesmen and Chen Yunhao to the depths of the ice peak. As for how much black ice they could collect, it depended on Chen Yunhao's ability.
The black ice is very hard. Although the one-eyed monsters are born with supernatural powers, it is still very difficult for them to mine the black ice, so Chen Yunhao decided to do it himself.
The one-eyed monster leader led his people in front, and Chen Yunhao followed behind.
The cave under the ice peak seemed to be formed naturally, and was later expanded by the one-eyed monster, and the footpath was polished into a simple step.
It is very cold inside the ice cave, especially the further down you go, the colder the air becomes.
This coldness is different from the cold outside. It is a chill that penetrates deep into the bone marrow.
However, those one-eyed monsters are indeed quite cold-resistant. They are simply wrapped in a layer of animal skin, with their limbs exposed and barefoot, but they are not afraid of the cold at all.
Of course, Chen Yunhao is not afraid of the cold. With his physical resistance, this little bit of cold is nothing. It is far worse than the chill in the Netherworld.
The ice cave did not go straight down, but curved back and forth. After walking for more than an hour, we descended at least two thousand feet and almost reached the center of the earth.
After crawling through a narrow entrance, the view suddenly opened up, as if we had entered a huge underground cave.
The densely packed huge icicles hanging upside down from the sky and the ground in the cave are black ice, which was formed after tens of thousands of years of gestation.
These pieces of black ice are crystal clear, like the purest glass.
After entering this cave deep underground, Chen Yunhao released his spiritual sense, which covered nearly a hundred miles in an instant.
This underground cave is indeed huge, and the boundary cannot be seen even after a hundred miles.
But this is not the point. The point is that Chen Yunhao made some discoveries through his spiritual sense.
Deep in the cave, on a piece of black ice, he actually saw an ice lotus that was at least ten thousand years old.
In addition, based on the richness of the spiritual energy, the best black ice was also found.
The formation of black ice did not happen overnight. It took tens of millions of years to slowly build up such an astonishing reserve.
The older the black ice is, the better. The black ice that Chen Yunhao and others see in front of them now was formed later, and it is at least tens of thousands of years old.
If no one mines these black ices, more of them will slowly grow.
Good quality black ice has more uses. For example, it can be used to preserve elixirs and magic pills. It can be preserved longer than ordinary spiritual wood boxes, at least for a hundred years.
There is a kind of mutated spiritual root among cultivators called ice spiritual root. To practice ice-attributed techniques, one needs to use black ice, and the demand for it is not small.
Even in Xuanbing Province, some demon tribes need Xuanbing for their cultivation.
Of course, its uses are more than this, so I won’t go into details here.
Chen Yunhao's spiritual sense saw the ten thousand year old ice and snow lotus, and also saw the black ice that was at least more than ten million years old. However, even though he saw it, it still took some effort to get it.
These good things are all in the deeper part of the cave, which is covered with black ice and there is almost no place to pass through.
If you want to find the deep part of the cave, you can only dig your way through it, which is a bit laborious, after all, the black ice is still very hard.
The one-eyed monster leader looked at Chen Yunhao with a half-smile on his face. He thought he had made a great deal in this deal. Just look at how much black ice he could take away from a skinny human!
“A frog in a well…!”
Chen Yunhao smiled and glanced at the one-eyed monster leader. How could these barbaric tribes know the methods of human cultivators? Those methods were so varied and beyond imagination!
