For a moment, the woods were quiet, even to the point of being eerie. A withered leaf fell at his feet, looking lonely.

”Heavenly Master Fang, Heavenly Master … ”Sigh, she came without a trace, she went without a trace, she just left like that.”

Lu Zhinan raised his head and looked at the night sky for a long time. At this time, the sky had turned gray, and the stars seemed to become dimmer and dimmer.

Jinling.

At dawn, a light drizzle began to fall.

The misty air of water and fog blended together, gently gathering and flowing slowly, the road paved with bluestone bricks, the light gray walls, the weeping willows by the Qin Huai River, the arched bridge over the river, it was as elegant as a painter's ink painting.

In the street market at the east corner of the city, the small vendors had already set up their stalls and started their day of business.

Along the banks of the Qin Huai River, they continued north until they reached the mouth of Immortal Crane Street. This place was relatively remote and desolate. At the corner of the street, there was a three-storey building with white walls, black tiles, plaid windows, and a quiet and secluded environment.

In front of the small building stood a bowl-sized black metal pole. On the pole hung a string of three red lanterns with the words ”Drunken Immortal Tavern” written on them. The iron pen and the silver hook looked very imposing.

Fang Miaomiao stepped into the room. The head of the room was spotless, and on the Eight Immortals Table, there were very neatly arranged wooden chairs. It was just that it was completely empty, with not a single customer.

The shopkeeper was sitting behind the counter with one hand on his cheek, dozing off.

Fang Miaomiao raised her hand and knocked on the counter. She was short and thin, but the shopkeeper, who had a big head, did not even raise his eyes. He waved his hands as if he was shooing away flies and said weakly: ”It's still early in the morning, and we have not opened for business yet.

Fang Miaomiao reached out and tugged at his moustache, laughing until her eyebrows curved.

”Ninth Uncle, it's me.”

Hearing that, the shopkeeper opened his bean-like eyes, and said with a grin: ”Yo, Miao Miao is back. Was this a smooth trip? Did you get the Ice Crystal Soul? ”

Fang Miaomiao lifted the teapot, poured a cup of water and drank it all in one go.

”It went smoothly. Not only have I obtained the Ice Crystal Soul, I have also received the mother money of the Hongwu Condor. ”

The shopkeeper picked up the money, looked at the light, and nodded, ”Not bad, the item is real. The spiritual energy and yang energy on it are very abundant, and it's a good thing to set up a formation.”

Putting down the mother carving money, his gaze fell on the small black wooden box, and after pondering for a moment, he said, ”There is a seal on top of it. However, the magic power is not strong. ”

The shopkeeper raised his index finger and used his spiritual mind to easily remove the seal on the wooden box.

Opening the wooden box, he saw a piece of ice crystal inside the box. Inside the box, there were traces of red. The red, the beautiful spring flowers slowly flowed as if they were alive.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: ”After obtaining the Ice Crystal Soul, your Demon Subduing and Demon Subduing Whip can finally complete the five elements.”

Fang Miaomiao's Demon Subduing and Demon Subduing Whip was originally made from the purest metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, using three types of True Fire.

However, after True Immortal Guangyang and the Black Jiao Pingye had made a contract to protect the beast, because Pingye was a demon beast with water control abilities, the True Immortal Guangyang took out the crystal soul from the Demon Subduing and Demon Subduing Whip and made a batch of cutting sword for cutting clouds and water for Pingye to use.

The Demon Subduing and Demon Subduing Whip had lost its crystal soul, causing its power to plummet. This was because the five elements resisted each other, and the same thing happened before. It affected the entire body.

Fang Miaomiao learnt a skill at the age of three and immediately picked up the whip from the Zhang Lu Shan's dazzling armory. She racked her brains to gather the five element crystal soul again, but since the five element crystal soul was the only one in the world, there was no second crystal soul left. Hence, she took a step back. Ice could be considered a variant of water.
