Mortal: I became invincible after becoming sworn brothers with Han Li.

About half an hour later, Li Yunfan and his group finally left the lakeside and entered a lush green meadow.

"This grassland is the main area of ​​the cave heaven, and the temple we're going to is built in the center of it. We'll fly there directly. You should have a flying artifact on you, right? I'll entrust Bing'er to you!"

After the female demon finished speaking to Li Yunfan, a flash of blue light appeared on her body, and she transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from sight.

Li Yunfan glanced at the female Han Chi Bing'er beside him, waved his hand to release the Cloud Piercing Boat, then reached out and put his arm around her waist, and with her, he lightly leaped into the Cloud Piercing Boat.

After the other party had settled down, he released his grip, took a slight step, and the Cloud Piercing Boat immediately soared into the sky, chasing after the Core Formation female demon, Han Chi.

Although the other person was of the opposite sex, they were not human. So even when Li Yunfan made such a physical contact, the other person was completely unmoved, only looking at the grass below with surprise.

Seeing the other person's appearance, Li Yunfan couldn't help but smile slightly, his gaze shifting downwards to look at her somewhat slender waist, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

Although she had hugged him in the icy pool before, his whole body was covered in ice crystals then, so it was no different from hugging a whole block of ice.

Moreover, he was also suffering from the pain of being burned by the spiritual fire at that time, and he didn't feel anything about the female cold demon he was holding.

But when he was upstairs with the other person's waist just now, he could clearly feel that it was different from the human body.

Because of the other person's constitution, the first feeling upon contact was coolness, but not as cold as ice crystals; rather, it was a very comfortable coolness.

What puzzled him even more was that although the other party's body was covered with fine, pale white scales, they were extremely soft and not as hard as he had imagined, as if the scales were just a piece of clothing.

However, he was only curious and had no improper thoughts. Although the upper body of the Han Chi was extremely similar to that of a human, he only regarded it as a strange demon beast, and even had a slight feeling of it being a spirit pet.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yunfan withdrew his gaze, released his divine sense to probe slightly, and then controlled the Cloud Piercing Boat to gradually fly downwards.

They landed in front of a strange building, then jumped off the Cloud Piercing Boat with the female Han Chi Bing'er in their arms before putting her back into their storage bag.

"Is this the temple of the Hanchi tribe?" Li Yunfan looked at the building in front of him with a strange expression on his face.

Because from the outside alone, it's impossible to tell what this building is. The bottom floor is a square, palace-like structure, but the top two floors are cylindrical, making the whole thing look somewhat incongruous.

"This is my clan's temple. Follow me!"

The female demon greeted them, then turned and pushed open an arched doorway, slithering inside with her snake tail.

Li Yunfan and the female demon Bing'er followed closely behind and entered the strange building.

The room was completely empty. Apart from a few three-tiered wooden shelves standing against the front wall, there was nothing else on the entire first floor.

Li Yunfan glanced at it briefly before following the Core Formation female demon, Han Chi, up the smooth stairs on the left wall to the second floor.

The second floor is significantly smaller than the first floor, and there isn't even a wooden frame inside; it's even more empty than the first floor.

The Core Formation female demon, Han Chi, walked all the way to the top of the steps before stopping and speaking to Li Yunfan.

"This is where my clan's treasures are kept. Because of the Blood Soul Restriction, I can only bring you here. You do not have my clan's bloodline, so the Blood Soul Restriction cannot harm you."

Li Yunfan nodded upon hearing this, then asked, "Senior, besides the Blood Soul Restriction, there should be other protective restrictions above, right?"

"You can rest assured about that. Apart from the Blood Soul Restriction, there are no other restrictions on it. However, to prevent the treasure from being lost, our ancestor specially froze it with his own cold energy and left behind a wisp of divine thought. If any enemy tries to take the treasure, that divine thought will control the cold energy to launch an attack!"

After the female demon finished speaking, she paused for a moment before continuing.

"That's why I asked you to help me retrieve the treasure. You possess flames within you, so you are naturally immune to attacks from cold air, making you the best choice for retrieving the treasure."

Li Yunfan's expression changed slightly. The cold energy left behind by the ancestors of the Hanchi clan contained a wisp of divine thought!

Although he didn't know the exact cultivation level of the other party's ancestor, he guessed that it was at least at the Nascent Soul stage. How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him possibly withstand the chilling aura and divine sense left behind by such a powerful being?

"Senior, although I possess spiritual fire, I am only at the Foundation Establishment stage. As for the protective measures left behind by such a powerful ancestor as yours, I could hardly..." Li Yunfan said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, according to my deduction, the wisp of divine thought left by our ancestors should have dissipated long ago after tens of thousands of years. All you will face is that cold air. Moreover, after such a long time, the cold air may have already dissipated on its own!" the female cold demon said calmly.

Li Yunfan glanced at the other person and saw that his expression was calm and he did not show any abnormality. He couldn't help but frown inwardly.

After pondering for a moment, he cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Senior, I can go up and give it a try, but I can't guarantee whether I can retrieve the treasure!"

"Just do your best, I believe you can succeed." The Core Formation woman Han Chi smiled slightly, as if she had full confidence in Li Yunfan.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan sighed inwardly, then stepped onto the smooth staircase and slowly walked towards the third floor.

Although he agreed to come and retrieve the treasure, he had already secretly decided that if he could successfully retrieve the treasure, he could use it as leverage to negotiate with the other party.

If he couldn't retrieve the treasure, he would try to kidnap the other party's daughter, which he believed would make the other party think twice.

Of course, he also had a worst-case scenario plan: if the first two methods failed, he would risk spending decades here on the third floor of the temple. With the Blood Soul Restriction in place, even if the other party wanted to come up and kill him, it would be impossible.

At that time, he would focus on cultivating in the cave. In any case, the spiritual energy here was not bad. Once he advanced to the Core Formation stage, he was confident that he could save his life even if the opponent was at the late stage of cultivation!

Of course, this was the only option he had left; he wouldn't have done it if any other method had been even slightly feasible.

The smooth staircase wasn't long, and even though Li Yunfan walked very slowly, he reached the third floor after a dozen or so steps.

With a single glance, he took in the entire scene on the third floor.

In the center of the three-story room, there is a low stone pillar, just like the stone pillar outside where the Blood Crystal is placed, with three stone fingers at the top.

Unlike the stone pillars outside, this low stone pillar, though less than two feet tall, is three feet thick. Its stone fingers, like three arms, firmly hold the large, pale blue ice ball in the middle, which exudes a chilling aura.
