Chapter 2524: Ethereal Nine Immortal Pills

Xiang'er naturally viewed Lin Xuan with a different eye.

Now, human cultivators dared not easily venture into the Frost Soul Ice Plain; even the outer regions of two or three hundred miles had become forbidden zones. Ordinary cultivators who came here almost always met their end.

However, for Lin Xuan, there was no danger at all. He was a guest in the Snow Fox Clan.

There were even rumors that Princess Xiang'er, having recently ascended to the status of Immortal Female among the妖族, frequently paired up with him.

Of course, these were just rumors; the exact truth could not be revealed to outsiders.

But one thing was certain: during Xiang'er's consolidation of the ice plain’s妖族 forces, Lin Xuan had made significant contributions. Otherwise, even with the Frost Rat King as a servant, it would have been impossible for him to consolidate so many妖族 tribes within such a short time.

However, Lin Xuan’s formidable strength provided great assistance. Xiang'er was both moved and reluctant towards him. Her sister's wish to become the dominant force in the Frost Soul Ice Plain had finally come true.

Thinking of Yuanke, Xiang'er felt both sorrow and joy.

The sorrow stemmed from her sister still being trapped within that玄冰 by混沌Taiyin energy. The joy came from Lin Xuan’s promise that he could find a way to melt this ice so that her sister could see the light again.

At first, the young princess hardly believed what she was hearing. Over these hundred years, she had tried countless methods without success.

Xiang'er knew well about the origin of混沌Taiyin energy; even the Immortal Elder Ice Old Master, who had passed through the Tribulation Period, could do nothing against it.

Although Lin Xuan was formidable, could he really dissolve this substance?

Despite her doubts, she half-believed him. Until Lin Xuan demonstrated with his own hands…

That seemingly eternal ice truly melted away a corner. Xiang'er’s beautiful face lit up with joy.

How could she not be happy?

As the elder sister, since Father's passing, she had raised her from a young age; their bond was far deeper than that of ordinary sisters. More than reviving the Snow Fox Clan, Xiang'er hoped for her sister to see the light again. Now, both wishes would come true.

It felt even more wonderful in dreams.

---

Xiang'er’s joy was evident. However, good things often have a twist. According to the Black Moon Heaven Witch Technique, there indeed existed a method to melt this ice; but now it couldn’t be done.

The reason? Yuanke had been trapped for over a hundred years. If they were to casually dissolve the混沌Taiyin energy’s ice, Yuanke would almost certainly not withstand it and return her soul to the underworld.

That would turn saving her into harming her.

They needed to plan carefully. Fortunately, Xiang'er had long prepared for this issue; after all, she hadn’t stopped trying to save her sister over these hundred years. She had also considered how to ensure her safety once the ice melted. All that was needed was a "Ethereal Nine Immortal Pill."

However, obtaining such a pill and having Princess Yuanke take it would certainly guarantee her survival and quick recovery.

"Brother Lin, perhaps I should come with you on this journey," the young princess’s eager voice entered his ears.

"Can you leave me?" Lin Xuan smiled.

"That..."

Xiang'er frowned slightly and fell silent.

The various妖族 tribes in the Frost Soul Ice Plain had just been consolidated; while they outwardly submitted, many harbored secret intentions. If she left now, who knew what would happen?

---

Although young, Xiang'er understood these principles well.

"Brother Lin, you must be careful."

"I have it under control."

Lin Xuan wasn’t overly concerned about this journey. Even without considering Yuanke’s sake, he had originally planned to visit the Ethereal Immortal Palace. He was very interested in composite puppets and naturally wanted to see them.

"For Xiang'er, please keep an eye out for spirit-awakening rare herbs," Lin Xuan turned his head and added.

"Alright, I understand. Brother Lin, you can rest assured; next time you return, there will be something to show for it."

"Good, then I’ll go."

Lin Xuan wasn’t one to dilly-dally. As he spoke, a green glow enveloped him, transforming into a dazzling streak that shot towards the sky.

A few days later, an imposing ice city appeared before his eyes.

Built against the mountains, towering over a thousand feet high, it exuded an impressive aura from afar.

Lin Xuan slowed down and landed in an unoccupied area. He then employed a technique to conceal his cultivation level, making him appear as just another dōngxuān Period cultivator. After days of travel, he finally returned to Bright Snow City.

This was the closest human city to the Frost Soul Ice Plain; it was from here that Lin Xuan and several treasure hunters had set out initially.

Revisiting this place, everything in Bright Snow City seemed unchanged. However, the scrutiny at the entrance was much stricter than before, and the number of cultivators had increased by nearly half compared to his last visit.

Most were not low-ranking scattered cultivators; they were mostly above dōngxuān Period, with some even near the Separation stage.

Lin Xuan wasn’t overly surprised. The anomalies in the Frost Soul Ice Plain had left all major and minor forces in the ice sea area astonished. Although they no longer sent disciples deep into the heart of the plain after losing their elite disciples, they couldn't simply ignore it either. Thus, Bright Snow City, as the closest human stronghold to the Frost Soul Ice Plain, naturally attracted cultivators from all directions.

Lin Xuan entered the city without drawing any attention. He deliberately circled around and entered from another direction so that no one would know he had returned from the Frost Soul Ice Plain.
