"Damn it, Zi Chen lied to me!"

In the valley, Zhao Can's flustered and exasperated curses sounded out.

A clear and cold fragrance filled the valley. This was the smell of the snow ginseng. Zhao Can saw the snow ginseng, which was like a snow lotus, pure white and flawless, quietly growing in the valley.

Seeing the snow ginseng, he also saw the ice bear. However... there were two ice bears instead of only one.

Previously, he and Zi Chen had spent the the money equivalent of one Genuine Qi Pill to get the Bewitching Powder, but it was only enough to bewitch a single ice bear. Yet, two ice bears appeared in front of Zhao Can, causing him to be surprised and angry.

In the cold winter, ice bears were usually sleeping, but these two ice bears were lying right next to the snow ginseng. Although Zhao Can and the others were very careful, they still woke up the ice bears.

The two ice bears were both Level Five Vicious Beasts, which were equivalent to a human expert at the fifth stage of Genuine Qi. Their skin was rough and their flesh was thick. Their true combat strength surpassed humans of the same level.

All three of them were at the fourth stage of Genuine Qi. Under normal circumstances, they would only be defeated and destroyed if they fought against a single ice bear. In the cold winter, the ice bears' reactions were slightly slow. In addition to the Bewitching Powder, the three of them could still fight with the two ice bears for a while.

"Roar!"

The three-meter-tall ice bears were awakened from their slumber, and let out angry roars. The black fur all over their bodies was as sharp as steel. An ice bear raised its bear paw, which was like a cattail leaf fan, and mercilessly swatted at the three people.

"Bang!"

Under the attack of the bear's paw, a large stone was instantly shattered into pieces.

The three of them flew back with unsightly expressions on their faces. Their bodies hadn't been refined to a state that was even harder than stone. Facing the attacks of two ice bears, they could only rely on their movement techniques to dodge.

"Hurry up and use the Bewitching Powder."

A fierce wind blew, and the young man dodged the ice bear's attack and shouted to Zhao Can.

"Bang!"

Another large stone had been shattered by the bear's paw, and a strong gale started to blow through the valley. Facing the attacks of two ice bears, the three of them were quickly forced out of the valley.

"Damn it, how could this be!"

Zhao Can cursed. He was extremely unwilling, but he could only take out the Bewitching Powder under such circumstances. His moved his feet, and the third-rate Cultivation Methods Floating cloud steps appeared under him. He directly passed through the attack from the two bear paws, arrived in front of the ice bears in a flash, and ruthlessly sprinkled the Bewitching Powder in front of them.

The Bewitching Powder was colorless and odorless. It smoothly arrived in front of the ice bears and was sucked into their mouths.

The figures of the ice bears could not help but sway.

Zhao Can took the opportunity to retreat.

"It won’t work. If it's just one ice bear, it would definitely be enchanted, but the powder won't enchanted them both. We have to think of other ways. "

After scattering the Bewitching Powder, Zhao Can looked anxious when he saw that the ice bears did not collapse.

"What can we do? It’s impossible for us to kill the ice bears!" One of the youths said in a bad mood. There was already a bloody wound on his face, which was caused by the tip of the claw.

Zhao Can gritted his teeth and said: "Both of you hold the ice bears back while I go in to get the snow ginseng. After that, we will leave together."

"Bullshit!"

Right after Zhao Can finished speaking, a furious voice sounded out, "We brothers are not idiots like Zi Chen, who would believe you. If you want to hold the ice bears back, my brother or I can go in and retrieve the snow ginseng. "

"No, I was the man who found this snow ginseng!" Zhao Can said coldly.

"If you don’t want, then let's go. I'll just go back and find Senior Brother Wang Xiong." The other youth sneered.

Their intellect was all terrifyingly high.

When they were talking, the ice bears that were hit by the Bewitching Powder really didn’t fall. Although their bodies were unsteady, their attacks were still sharp. The three of them had no choice but to retreat once more though they didn’t reach an agreement, then the three of them brought the ice bears and left the valley.

In the distance, behind the back of a mountain rock, Zi Chen quietly watched as the three of them brought the ice bears away.

Expect for the wrong trust in Zhao Can, Zi Chen appeared to be very calm in all other aspects. When he saw Zhao Can again, his eyes were very calm, without any other emotions.

Because there was no need, he, who had died once, had long since treated Zhao Can as someone who had to be killed.

After the three of them had completely disappeared into the distance, Zi Chen appeared from behind the boulder.

Without the Genuine Qi, the step methods could not be used. Everywhere Zi Chen passed, two rows of deep footprints were left on the ground. However, he was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the edge of the valley.

He naturally knew what the other three were thinking, it was nothing more than luring the stupid ice bears far away and rushing back at extreme speed.

Zi Chen stepped on the snow, making popping sounds. He quickly scurried into the valley and saw the snow ginseng growing on the surface of the ice, which was half covered by snow.

The snow ginseng was sparkling and translucent like a snow lotus, and emitted a clear and cold fragrance. Even though it was tens of meters away, Zi Chen could still feel the extremely dense spirit aura within the snow ginseng.

Zi Chen hurried to the front of the snow ginseng.

"It's you little thing that almost caused me to die."

Zi Chen looked at the snow ginseng in front of him. His expression was extremely complicated, but he did not hesitate and immediately squatted down to grab the snow ginseng.

If he hesitated, there might be accidents. Zhao Can and the others could come at any time, so there wasn't much time left for Zi Chen.

After the Meridian Purification, even though Zi Chen didn’t have Genuine Qi, his strength had increased a lot. Without expending much effort, he managed to grab the snow ginseng.

"Got it!"

Snow ginseng grew on the surface of the ice, and under great effort, the few roots of snow ginseng still had a bit of ice on them. Looking at the snow ginseng, Zi Chen's eyes lit up. In the past, this was his only hope to enter the inner sect, but now, it was his hope to repair the dantian.

Just as Zi Chen was about to withdraw the snow ginseng, an angry voice came from outside the valley.

"Lin Hao, Lin Ying, I was the one who found this snow ginseng. You two go hold the ice bears back." This was Zhao Can's voice, and it sounded extremely exasperated.

"Hmph, you said that you found it, and I said that I found it! It's really idiocy, who do you think you are, how could Senior Brother Wang Xiong think highly of you? Let me tell you, whoever takes the snow ginseng back will be able to obtain the Genuine Qi Pill! "

Immediately, Lin Ying's teasing voice came out.

"Then you are courting death!" Zhao Can's voice came out again.

"Haha, am I courting death? You'll know soon enough. Lin Hao, go hold him back. Lin Ying laughed, and from his sound, he was already outside the valley.

After that, the sound of a battle could be heard.

Laughter came from the valley as Lin Ying reached the deep valley.

But when Lin Ying's laughter reached the valley, he stopped abruptly as if someone had grabbed onto his neck. Lin Ying's pair of eyes widened even more, as if he had seen a ghost.

He had indeed seen a ghost, because he had seen Zi Chen.

"Ah …!"

The current Zi Chen was currently staring coldly at Lin Ying, and that cold gaze was as if he was looking at a dead person. Lin Ying was stunned for a moment, then he instantly let out a cry, as his entire body was frozen in place.

"Hehe!"

The ice-cold Zi Chen suddenly let out a mischievous laugh. That smile was very strange, which was like the laughter of an evil spirit. It was ethereal and sinister, and Lin Ying could not help but shiver.

If he hadn't been so calm, he would have already retreated in terror.

After sneering, Zi Chen suddenly flew towards Lin Ying in front of him like a ghostly shadow. At the moment, Lin Ying was only looking at Zi Chen, who was smiling strangely. So he did not look at Zi Chen’s feet, and thought that Zi Chen was floating over.

"Ghost!"

Subconsciously, Lin Ying let out a strange cry and jumped to the side, which was more than ten meters away.

"Shua!"

As if Zi Chen had already predicted that Lin Ying would make such a move, he laughed coldly, ignored Lin Ying, and ran out of the valley.

The sound of footsteps was very obvious, but the terrified Lin Ying did not hear it. He thought Zi Chen was floating out.

"He's gone, he's gone. He must have gone to find Zhao Can, as Zhao Can was the one who killed him." Lin Ying gasped for breath, and his heart that was at his throat was finally relaxed, and after that, he looked towards the snow ginseng.

"Ah …!"

Lin Ying cried out once again. The snow ginseng that was previously in the valley had actually lost its trace.

"Do ghosts need snow ginseng to cultivate too?" Lin Ying's heart sank again.

However, at this time, exclamations of surprise came from outside the valley, "Ah, ghosts!"

It was Lin Hao's voice, but right at that moment, Zhao Can's surprised voice sounded out, "Zi Chen, it's you, you're not dead?"

Zhao Can's words were like a bucket of cold water pouring down Lin Ying's heart. His entire body shivered, and then he realized that there were deep footprints on the ground.

"He doesn't float, he can walk! Damn it! He's not dead! " Lin Ying anxiously shouted out, "Zi Chen stole the snow ginseng!"

Afterwards, he took big steps and flew out of the valley.

Outside the valley, when Lin Xiong and Zhao Can suddenly saw Zi Chen, both of them were startled.

All people would have been stunned if they saw a dead person to be alive again. Using the time that he had to be distracted, Zi Chen smiled at the two of them strangely and flew off into the distance.

By the time the two discovered it, it was already too late.

Zi Chen had already ran for more than ten meters.

After that, the two people outside the valley heard Lin Ying’s roar. They immediately changed their expressions and chased after Zi Chen.

Just then, the two ice bears came back.

"Roar!" "Roar!"

Two heaven-shaking roars echoed in the air, then the bear's paw charged towards the two people with the powerful might.

The two people had no choice but to dodge again.

Because of the ice bears’ entanglement, Zi Chen had ran for close to a hundred meters. And by the time the two of them had gotten rid of the ice bears, Zi Chen was already three to four hundred meters away.

"Let’s chase!"

The three of them looked at each other and their eyes were surprisingly similar at this moment, which were all filled with anger. Then, they chased after Zi Chen.

When the ice bears returned to the valley, they discovered that snow ginseng was gone, so they loudly roared and sprinted out of the valley and chased after them.

After such a long period of time, the Bewitching Powder that was not enough had lost its effect.
