Puff, puff, puff!

Then, he saw several white lights rapidly shooting towards the ice block where he previously stood.

He saw clearly; the ice block now had several nail-like ice protrusions, and he immediately thought that these were shot out by the White Cold Ice Python.

His gaze was sharp, he saw the ice blocks were enveloped by a powerful energy, becoming hard as iron.

He knew that although the White Cold Ice Python ahead had slightly stronger cultivation than him, its skills were few, and he believed he could defeat the Demon Beast before him.

"It's said that the White Cold Ice Python can transform Ice Attribute power into Ice Arrows to hunt prey. It seems this legend is true! To deal with such a beast adept in long-range attacks, the best strategy is to fight fast, giving it no chance to strike!"

He took a deep breath, this time, instead of retreating, he advanced. He circulated Primordial Power, rapidly forming twelve Void Palms before him. With a wave of his right hand, the next moment, the twelve Void Palms attacked the White Cold Ice Python from different angles.

Each Void Palm transformed into a giant palm half the height of a person, covering the White Cold Ice Python completely.

The White Cold Ice Python spewed several ice blocks from its mouth, then swiftly dodged to the side.

The ice blocks from its mouth were all shattered by the giant palms, sealing off all possible retreat routes.

In panic, a white light flashed across the White Cold Ice Python's eyes.

In the next moment, a layer of white protective shield appeared around its body.

A rapid succession of twelve booming sounds exploded, sending the snow in front soaring into the sky.

Duan Gujin's Divine Sense locked onto the White Cold Ice Python ahead. He saw its body being blasted several times, then it rolled on the ground a few times before stabilizing.

Seeing several bloodied cuts on the snowy skin of the White Cold Ice Python, he knew he had surely inflicted heavy damage.

"Hissing!"

The White Cold Ice Python hissed at Duan Gujin several times before rapidly darting to the left.

Duan Gujin initially wanted to chase it down rapidly, but he realized it had burrowed into the underground snow, diving deeper until its trace vanished.

Upon seeing the White Cold Ice Python flee, he did not pursue it further.

His mission was to find the treasure inside the cave, not to chase down the White Cold Ice Python.

The Void Palms he used earlier against the White Cold Ice Python had actually consumed half of his Primordial Power, coupled with the intimidating pressure released by his Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, the White Cold Ice Python was likely frightened by his formidable strength, inevitably having to give up the Elixir of Eternal Life.

In general, when a Demon Beast is easily defeated, next it will voluntarily abandon the attack, choosing to flee.

To the White Cold Ice Python, that sacred herb inside the cave is certainly important.

But no matter how important that herb is, it surely cannot compare to its own life.

The White Cold Ice Python also sensed that Duan Gujin gave off an impression that he could easily defeat it; with just one move, he destroyed its protective light shield, instilling fear in its heart.

Thus, the White Cold Ice Python chose to escape.

After repelling the White Cold Ice Python, Duan Gujin immediately consumed over ten drops of the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk, while recovering his Primordial Power, he transformed his hand into a Hand Blade, slicing through the thick ice outside the cave.

Time flowed by quickly.

Fifteen minutes later, he finally managed to cut open a narrow passage through the thick ice inside the cave, and at the end of the passage, he found a sacred herb.

The sacred herb was very small, with just three golden-shimmering leaves.

Duan Gujin had heard of a legend that to determine the age of an Elixir of Eternal Life, you generally look at how many leaves it has.

The Elixir of Eternal Life is a very special kind of Spiritual Medicine; once a leaf withers, or a leaf is damaged, the entire Elixir of Eternal Life will be rendered useless in a very short time.

Therefore, the Elixir of Eternal Life cannot be transplanted.

"If this Elixir of Eternal Life is real, it wouldn't be able to survive here!"

He released his Divine Sense to inspect the surroundings of the cave but did not find any similarity between the Rule Power here and the seven forbidden areas of the Divine World.

He carefully examined the sacred herb and discovered that it was indeed an Elixir of Eternal Life.

"Strange, logically, the Elixir of Eternal Life cannot be successfully planted; it must grow in one of the seven forbidden zones to thrive. So why can it grow here?"

He inspected beneath the Elixir of Eternal Life, and after a while, his Divine Sense detected there was actually a branch beneath the Elixir of Eternal Life.

He extended his Divine Sense into the branch, curious about what kind of branch it was.

After a while, his brows furrowed tightly.

"What kind of material is this wood? Why does it contain so much Life Essence? This wood is definitely not ordinary!"

He pondered for a while, unable to recall what kind of wood the branch in his hands was.

Unable to find an answer, he finally gave up thinking about the wood.

He set down the Elixir of Eternal Life and the branch, then ran out of the cave, shouting loudly.

"Qing Lian, come quickly!"

A while later, Qing Lian came rushing over with Ling'er.

Upon seeing the Elixir of Eternal Life, Qing Lian lightly furrowed her brows and said, "This seems to be the Elixir of Eternal Life, doesn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin's eyes sparkled brightly.

"You guessed the same as I did. I suspect this Spiritual Medicine to be the Elixir of Eternal Life! Can you identify this branch? I find this branch very special and cannot determine what kind of wood it is."

Duan Gujin let Qing Lian inspect the branch.

Qing Lian used her Divine Sense to probe the interior of the branch. After a while, she slightly shook her head and said, "I don't know what kind of wood this is, but I discovered that this type of wood contains very strong Life Essence—a concentration beyond my imagination!"

"Yes, you've said exactly what I'm thinking!"

Duan Gujin nodded vigorously.

Just then, Ling'er's voice reached his ears.

"This piece of wood is the very treasure I told you about!"

Hearing Ling'er's words, Duan Gujin furrowed his brow and immediately asked, "Don't you think the sacred herb on this wood is more important?"

"No, I feel that even though the sacred herb is also precious, its lifespan is limited, and even eating it now might only increase your Lifespan by a few decades! Whereas the true treasure is that branch!"

Ling'er replied.

"Then do you know what's special about this branch?"

After hearing this, Duan Gujin furrowed his brow tightly.

"I can only say that the concentration of Life Essence inside it is very strong; as for its exact use, I honestly don't know!"

Ling'er answered.

"Oh, so that's the case!"
