A few days later, Ling Xiao knew most of the Moonlight Sect’s outer formations inside out.
However, he was still not qualified to come into contact with some relatively confidential places.
After all, he was just an outer disciple.
However, this performance was still enough to satisfy Venerable Yuan and Yang Danlin.
Thereupon, Ling Xiao also received what was promised to him: Yang Danlin personally took him to Vast Wintry Hall for training.
Like Desperate Tower Master, Vast Wintry Hall Master seemed unwilling to show her face to outsiders and also wore a mask. Merely, this mask was much better than the ghost mask of Desperate Tower Master. It was a beautiful butterfly-type mask.
“It’s strange. Last time, Desperate Tower Master made me feel a familiar aura, and this time, Vast Wintry Hall Master is the same. How come these two have identical auras?”
Originally, Ling Xiao had felt that he had confirmed the identity of Desperate Tower Master, but now, he was confused again.
“Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy, I have already given you the promised pill. Now, can you let my disciple cultivate in Vast Wintry Hall?”
Yang Danlin asked with a smile.
“Hall Master Old Yang, what I said before is not invalid, but the gate of Vast Wintry Hall can only be opened once a year. This is the sect’s rule.”
Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy lightly said: “This is my ‘Vast Wintry Token’. If this child can enter Vast Wintry Hall, he can stay there as long as he wants. I will absolutely not stop him.”
After speaking, she threw a jade token to Ling Xiao.
After catching it, Ling Xiao felt that it was strangely cold.
He felt as if his right hand was about to be frozen.
“Landscape Ruler——Transform!”
Obviously, the jade token had been wrapped with Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy’s extremely cold true essence that was much superior to the Heavenly Dragon True Essence, Thunderbolt True Essence, Fierce Beast True Essence, and Golden Lotus True Essence Ling Xiao already possessed.
How could Ling Xiao waste such a good thing?
He instantly converted a martial vein’s Heavenly Dragon True Essence into this unusually cold ‘Vast Wintry True Essence.’
Naturally, he himself had named it thus. He didn’t know what martial art had cultivated this true essence. After all, the other party was too powerful. Even if he used the Analysis Ability of the Landscape Martial Soul, he would be unable to see through it.
At this moment, he possessed five types of true essence. The Fierce Beast True Essence occupied a martial vein but not much was left. It had been consumed when refining arrays and pills.
Thunderbolt True Essence also occupied a martial vein but less than half was left.
Vast Wintry True Essence occupied three martial veins; moreover, it was very abundant. This amount of true essence might be insignificant to Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy, but for Ling Xiao, it was enough to fill three martial veins.
Among the remaining four, two were filled with Golden Lotus True Essence, which was mainly used for attacks.
The last two were filled with Heavenly Dragon True Essence, which was mainly used for defense.
Among the five types of true essence, Vast Wintry True Essence was the strongest, but he didn’t dare to use it unless as a last resort. After all, it was the true essence of a Celestial Realm expert. Once used, although its destructive power was terrifying, it would absolutely kill a thousand enemies while killing eight hundred allies.
The next were Golden Lotus True Essence and Heavenly Dragon True Essence. These two were equally powerful, but one was good at attack and the other good at defense. They were also Ling Xiao’s own true essence, so they could be used and restored repeatedly.
The weakest ones were Thunderbolt True Essence and Fierce Beast True Essence.
Ling Xiao had left Thunderbolt True Essence alone so that he could use it when comprehending ‘lightning’ celestial phenomena.
As for Fierce Beast True Essence, because it could produce a black flame, it was naturally used for alchemy and refining arrays.
“Eh?”
Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy was inwardly surprised upon seeing Ling Xiao hold her Vast Wintry Token without any discomfort.
In fact, she was very curious of why Yang Danlin and Desperate Tower Master regarded this outer disciple so highly, so she had wrapped the Vast Wintry Token with her own true essence as a test.
Normally, even a Transcendent Realm martial artist would have had his hand frozen, but this kid had no reaction at all.
A true freak!
“What’s wrong, Senior?” Ling Xiao asked curiously.
“No, this seat was just thinking that since you cannot enter from the front gate, how will you enter this Vast Wintry Hall?” Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy asked.
“Senior, if I don’t enter from the front gate, will it count as breaking the rules?”
Ling Xiao didn’t want to give others a chance to frame him.
“It would absolutely be counted as breaking the rule for others. At the lightest, they would be barred from entering Vast Wintry Hall forever, and in the worst case, their cultivations would be abolished directly, and they would be expelled from the sect.”
Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy replied: “But you are different. You have a Vast Wintry Token. As long as you enter, since you have this seat’s token, no one can say anything. You can even be regarded as this seat’s representative.”
“Hehe, it’s simple then.”
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
“Simple?”
Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy was surprised.
“Replying to Senior, in fact, this disciple has already checked the Vast Wintry Hall’s guardian formation. Although this formation has been repaired continuously, there exists several oversights. At present, there are three relatively hidden oversights. As long as one is a Transcendent Realm martial artist, anyone can easily enter and exit without being discovered by Senior.”
“How can that be!”
Ling Xiao’s words shocked Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy.
Although she was no formation genius, she was very familiar with this guardian formation. Moreover, the people of Formation Hall maintained the formation once a month. How could there be such big oversights?
She thought that Ling Xiao was crying wolf, so her aura became colder.
She didn’t like people who lied.
“Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy, don’t underestimate Ling Xiao. His skill is not inferior to those people from the Formation Hall.” Yang Danlin said with a smile.
“Does Hall Master Old Yang also think that there is a problem with my hall’s guardian formation?”
Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy frowned.
“How about we make a bet?”
Yang Danlin smiled.
“What bet?”
Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy asked.
“It’s very simple. If this kid can enter Vast Wintry Hall, can you lend your Vast Wintry Token to him until he no longer needs it?”
Yang Danlin added: “If this old man loses, any pill you want to refine in the future, you just need to bring the raw materials, and this old man will refine it regardless of how difficult it is. How about it?”
“Deal!”
A hint of excitement appeared in Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy’s eyes.
Even though she was a Celestial Worthy, a Celestial Realm expert, it was very difficult to make Yang Danlin concoct pills, especially those that were very risky to refine.
This bet was absolutely beneficial for her.
“Ling Xiao, did you hear it? Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy has given you a golden chance. Don’t miss it.”
Yang Danlin smiled at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao smiled back. Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy, however, didn’t believe that Ling Xiao could do it. After all, he was just an outer disciple.
However, this small matter truly didn’t pose any problem for Ling Xiao.
There were three flaws in the guardian formation of Vast Wintry Hall. Anyone could enter and exit the hall using any one of them.
Naturally, the premise was that you had to be able to find these three flaws, which required a great understanding of formations along with sky-high discerning abilities.
Even Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy couldn’t find them.
But he could!
