Huang Yu led Lin San directly into the square house. Then he invited Lin San to sit on a chair in the middle of the hall. Huang Yu himself sat opposite Lin San.
At this time, a maid came over and brought a cup of tea to Lin San and Huang Ya respectively.
Lin San raised his head and looked at the hall. He found that everything in the hall was made of ice. Including the chair he was sitting on and the table next to him were made of ice. In addition, there were several shapes standing upright in the corners. Different ice sculptures of giant bears.
The temperature in the hall is extremely low. It is even much lower than the temperature outside.
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a black leather jacket walked out of the back room. This middle-aged man had a very dark complexion. His eyes were very big. His eyebrows were also very thick and long. He was very tall and tall. He wore a gold belt around his waist. Silk belt. The whole person exudes a majestic aura.
Lin San secretly used his spiritual sense to peek at the middle-aged man. His heart suddenly "thumped". The aura of this middle-aged man was very powerful. He was a man who had reached the late stage of Jindan. He was only half a step away from the Nascent Soul stage.
"Brother-in-law, you are here." Huang Yu hurriedly stood up from his chair and greeted the middle-aged man respectfully.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and walked to sit opposite Huang Yu.
Huang Yu pulled Lin San to the middle-aged man and introduced: "Brother-in-law, his name is Lin Zi. He is a good friend I met outside. He wants to join the Ice Palace. See if you can..."
The middle-aged man frowned. He raised his head and looked at Lin Sanji. He said in a hoarse voice: "In the late stage of Jindan, your cultivation level is not too low."
"Brother-in-law is an honor." In order to please the middle-aged man, Lin San was like a yellow croaker. He called the middle-aged man "brother-in-law."
The middle-aged man smiled: "What do you call me, brother-in-law?"
"Ah. Yellow Fish and I are good friends and brothers. His brother-in-law is my brother-in-law." Lin San smiled.
The middle-aged man waved his hand: "You are really interesting... You can't call me brother-in-law casually. Let's do this. Just call me Deacon Xiong." The middle-aged man has lived for hundreds of years. He has become a mature man long ago. After being seduced, one could see at a glance that Lin San was actually trying to get close to him in disguise. The middle-aged man would not have anything to do with Lin San's car until he found out Lin San's details.
"Yes. Deacon Xiong." Lin San nodded.
"Why do you want to join the Ice Palace?" Butler Xiong asked directly without being verbose.
"Deacon Xiong, do you want to tell the truth? Or do you want to hear lies?" Lin San did not answer directly. Instead, he said something strange.
"What about the truth? What about lies?" Butler Xiong asked with interest.
Lin San licked his lips: "The lie is that I am tired of life outside and want to find a clean and leisurely place to stay. The truth is... I have admired the Ice Palace for a long time. I want to join the Ice Palace and learn more. magic."
Deacon Xiong narrowed his eyes: "Your answer is quite reasonable."
"Deacon Xiong, when will you let me pretend to be the Ice Palace?" Lin San asked impatiently.
"When did I say I allowed you to join the Ice Palace?" Butler Xiong said suddenly.
Lin San was stunned for a moment. Then he turned to look at Yellow Fish.
Huang Yu grinned: "Brother-in-law, Lin Zi is my good brother. You see..."
Butler Xiong glared at Huang Yu: "Shut up. You have no place to speak here."
After being scolded by Butler Xiong, Huang Yu no longer dared to intercede for Lin San anymore.
Lin San stood aside and was so anxious. He never thought that this Butler Bear would be so difficult to talk to. He didn't even give face to his brother-in-law Huang Yu. Now things are a little troublesome. If he can't stay in the Ice Palace smoothly, then... It is impossible to detect the whereabouts of the Lihuo Stone. It is also impossible to refine the Demon-Suppressing Sword Formation.
"Deacon Xiong. I really want to join the Ice Palace. Just give me a chance." Lin San begged without giving up.
Butler Xiong was silent.
"Ah, Deacon Xiong, I asked Brother Huangyu to give you a gift...Brother Huangyu, please take out the gift." The second half of Lin San's sentence was addressed to Huangyu.
The yellow croaker was stunned and didn't take out anything.
"What gift?" Butler Xiong asked curiously.
"Oh. Just a few middle-grade elixirs that enhance mana." Lin San replied hurriedly: "It took me a long time to collect them."
"Elixir." Butler Xiong turned to look at Huang Yu: "This is really the case."
"Ah. Yes. Yes. I forgot about it just now." Huang Yu smiled. He reached out and took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Butler Xiong. In his heart, he had already greeted all the eighteen generations of Lin San's ancestors. Once again. Originally, Yellow Fish wanted to swallow these elixirs for himself. Unexpectedly, the blind Lin San actually told the matter. Now it's fine. My brother-in-law must be dissatisfied with him for hiding the elixirs.
Lin San actually didn't want to mention this matter. But when he saw that Butler Xiong refused to let him join the Ice Palace, he could only hope to impress Butler Xiong with some gifts. Originally, Lin San still had a lot of pills on his body. But On the spaceship at that time, Lin San had already told Huang Yu that all the elixirs on his body were empty. If he took out the elixirs now, it would probably arouse Huang Yu's suspicion. By then, if the demon refining pot was exposed, then he would But it's dangerous.
Butler Xiong gently opened the lid of the box and looked down. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Deacon Xiong. In addition to increasing mana, these pills can also help break through the bottleneck of cultivation." Lin San introduced at the side.
"It's so miraculous to break through the bottleneck." Deacon Xiong's eyes lit up.
"Deacon Xiong, how dare I lie to you? Everything I said is true." Lin San said with a serious expression.
Butler Xiong smiled slightly and waved his hand, and the box containing the elixir disappeared: "I found that you are really good at making things happen. You are also very good at coaxing people."
"Deacon Xiong, thank you very much." Lin San said modestly.
Butler Xiong thought for a while: "Okay. I will agree to your joining the Ice Palace."
"Thank you, Deacon Xiong. Thank you." Lin San kept thanking him.
"Hey, don't be too happy. There is something I need to tell you clearly in advance. The Ice Palace has regulations. All new members must work as coolies for one year. After one year, they can be official. Join the Ice Palace." Butler Xiong said calmly.
"Ah. I have to work as a coolie for a year." Lin San frowned.
"If you don't want to, you can regret it now." Deacon Xiong said expressionlessly.
Lin San was silent for a moment. He nodded: "Okay. I agree."
Deacon Xiong flipped his wrist, and a piece of white paper appeared in his palm: "This is your contract. If you sign it, you can live in the Ice Palace." After saying that, Deacon Xiong's wrist shook. The paper flew towards Lin San.
Lin San stretched out his hand to catch the white paper. He looked down for a few times, then cut his finger and made a fingerprint on the white paper. Then he returned the white paper to Butler Xiong.
"From now on, you are a temporary member of the Ice Palace. Remember, you must obey the instructions of the Ice Palace in the future. You must not do anything to harm the Ice Palace. If you violate it, you will be punished by the Ice Palace. Endless pursuit." Butler Xiong's tone was a little cold.
Lin San nodded solemnly: "Deacon Xiong, please rest assured. Since I have chosen to join the Ice Palace, I will work honestly and will not mess around."
"Okay. It's okay. Just go out." Deacon Xiong waved his hand.
Lin San said hello, turned around and left.
After Lin San walked away, Huang Yu asked: "Brother-in-law, when will the Ice Palace stipulate that new members will have to do hard labor for a year."
Deacon Xiong smiled: "I just made the nonsense."
"Ah. Why? My brother-in-law deliberately punished him?" Huang Yu asked in confusion.
Deacon Xiong slowly stood up from the chair: "I feel like something is wrong with your friend. But I can't tell what is wrong. So I asked him to do hard labor for a year. I also wanted to test it out and see what this friend of yours is like. Is there any problem?"
"No way. I've been with Lin Zi for more than half a year. There's nothing wrong with him." Huang Yu said.
"You, your vigilance is still too low. Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't chat with you anymore." After saying that, Deacon Xiong left the hall.
Looking at Butler Xiong's leaving figure, Huang Yu showed a trace of confusion on his face.
…
Lin San walked around the city for most of the day before he found a small inn in a remote corner.
There are no waiters in the inn. There is only one shopkeeper. A shopkeeper with a middle-level Jindan cultivation level.
Lin San asked about the accommodation price and was immediately stunned. It was not because the accommodation price here was high, but because it was too low. It was ridiculously low. A low-level spiritual stone could actually stay here for a month.
After ordering a few spiritual stones, Lin San went up to the second floor and chose a relatively clean room.
After running around for such a long time, Lin San really felt a little tired. After tidying up, he lay down on the bed to rest.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Yellow Fish came to the room where Lin San lived.
"Brother Huangyu, you came so early. You have something to do with me." Lin San enthusiastically greeted Huangyu to sit down.
Yellow Fish threw a waist badge made from ice to Lin San: "This is your waist badge. From today on, you will officially join the Ice Palace." After saying that, Yellow Fish stood up and left.
Lin San took a look at the waist tag and found that there were three words "Ice Palace" engraved on the waist tag. There was nothing else. It seemed to be an extremely ordinary waist tag.
That afternoon, Lin San received an order from Deacon Xiong to go to the city to dig ice.
After some inquiries, Lin San finally found the outskirts of the city. This is a world of ice. For thousands of miles around, there is almost crystal clear ice. At this time, there are more than a dozen Jindan stage monsters standing on the ice. Beasts. These monsters are all in the early stage of the Golden Core. Each monster holds a big knife in its hand and keeps digging into the ice under its feet.
Lin San walked over and smiled at the dozens of busy monsters: "Hello everyone."
More than a dozen monsters ignored Lin San and continued to do their own work.
