Snow Maple Valley in Hanshan Mountain is much colder than other places in a radius of only ten miles. The ground is covered with thin ice and frost. It is even colder at the mouth of the valley. The wind blows the snow inside, rushing towards the face and falling on the clothes.

Few people come here in the past. One is that it is too cold, and the other is because the valley is full of dangers and monsters are rampant. Even the disciples of the Snow Mountain School who are on the road of penance will not easily enter.

However, many people have come here in recent days.

Looking around, the sky is full of boats and birds, carrying disciples from various sects, once entering the valley, most of them put on fox fur and mink fur to keep out the wind and cold.

Not long after the disciples of the Snow Mountain School arrived, Pei Ming, who had left early, arrived late behind.

"Senior brother Lin." He smiled and greeted Lin Bujue to show that he had arrived, then took out a series of small gourds from the Qiankun bag, and said, "I bought some burning knives. cold."

Lin Bujue nodded and said, "Junior Brother Pei still has the heart, thank you."

He bought so much that everyone in the Xueshan faction got a gourd, even Wu Lin who didn't talk to him very much.

Ten years later, Wu Lin also grew up, but because of the [-] spirit whips in the training hall that year, there was always a gap between the two of them, Pei Ming didn't care much, and even had a gentle smile on his face.

The manpower is short, and the others have taken over, and Lin Bujue, the big brother, is there. Even if Wu Lin is unwilling, he still gives face. He didn't refuse coldly, but his face was a bit ugly.

The contrast between the expressions of the two was very sharp. When others saw it, they knew what was going on. To avoid embarrassment, they had to pretend that they hadn't seen anything.

Although there are secret disputes within the Snow Mountain School, the disciples are relatively harmonious.

"Since everyone is here, it's time to go in. Remember to be careful in everything, don't be too far away, so that you can support each other." Lin Bujue told them in a warm voice, and there was no delay after finishing speaking. Scattered all over the valley.

The Snow Maple Valley is huge, and there is a unique Snow Maple tree growing inside. The branches are all white, and the leaves that grow out are like maple leaves, but they are transparent, like ice and crystals.

And this hunting in Xuefeng Valley is to find the spirited Xuefeng Demon Tree in the Xuefeng Forest.

Different from other monsters, once the Snow Maple Demon Tree becomes a spirit, it will be a group. If left unchecked, there will be more and more of them, and the territory will expand outward. Wherever they go, it will cause ice and snow drifts. Hundreds of years ago After a demon disaster, several sects joined forces to force him back into the valley.

It's not that I haven't thought about a way to eradicate them, but Snow Maple Valley has always been their old nest, and there are old trees in the depths that have grown for many years. Maple Valley turned upside down, but this kind of thing is not easy to do.

Besides, there are tree crystals in the body of the demon tree that has become a spirit, which is a good material for casting weapons, so no one thought about really eradicating them, just leave them in Xuefeng Valley.

The snowy maple leaves are falling slowly, and the transparent leaves like ice crystals are undoubtedly very beautiful.

Pei Ming took off the leaves that fell on his shoulders, held them in his hands and looked at them, the sun shone down, and the snowy maple leaves were coated with a layer of light.

This crystal clear leaf was extremely beautiful, but it immediately turned into powder in his hands without any nostalgia.

His expression was indifferent, but it was just a low-level seduction technique, which made him indulge in appreciation so that he could lower his vigilance.

The long sword in his hand was out of its sheath, and he slashed towards the demon tree next to him.

His neighing was harsh, and the demon tree was trembling violently. At the same time, the branches and roots came out to attack him.

If this undeveloped demon tree hadn't taken the initiative to use the seduction technique to take the opportunity to swallow his cultivation, it would be difficult to find it hidden in this large forest, so one had to be patient to find it.

Not long after, Pei Ming withdrew his sword, and the demon tree was cut off from the root, and the tree body fell into the snow. The branches and leaves all turned into snow and frost, and merged with the surroundings.

A shimmering tree crystal suddenly sprang out from the snow, and quickly flew towards the depths of the valley.

With quick eyesight and quick hands, he flew to catch the tree crystal who was trying to escape, and it would be too late if he was a step slower.

After putting the restless tree crystal into the Qiankun bag, attracted by the old tree in the depths, it still wanted to escape and rampage inside, so Pei Ming had to make a seal and hit it on the Qiankun bag to suppress it.

He was about to move on when a stream of light flashed beside him, subconsciously, he reached out and grabbed it.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, he looked back, and met the eyes of an extremely handsome young man.

His eyebrows are picturesque, his body is like a bamboo, elegant but with a touch of coldness.

He watched the other person's eyes move slightly, it was Xie Jing Xing, his distant memory gradually recovered, he only remembered the other two people in Xuefeng Valley, but he forgot that Xie Jing Xing had also been here.

The two of them met in the crowd in Xuefeng Valley in the previous life, but they didn't expect to run into each other this time when they chose a different direction.

"This tree crystal is what I got from killing the demon tree just now. If it is convenient for the fairy friend, can you return it to me, thank you very much."

Although Xie Jing Xing's expression remained unchanged, his words were very polite and his appearance was so outstanding, if someone else might have returned it.

As for Pei Ming, although he paid attention to other people's looks and was very worldly, he didn't answer immediately.

There was very little memory about Xie Jing Xing, he did not remember any enmity with the other party, but for some reason, when he saw this person, he felt a faint feeling of displeasure, even loathing.

"Quickly put away your saliva and look again, be careful that you are not welcome." A golden man stood in front of Xie Jing Xing. He was good-looking, but no matter what he said or did, he was too stupid and would only go around Follow Xie Jing Xing.

Pei Ming knew him, but he didn't even bother to give him a look, and turned around to leave.

"Wait, return the tree crystal to Jing Xing before you leave." Shen Wangxing felt a bit playful.

Several other people came around behind them, although their words were not as arrogant as his, they all said that the tree crystal belonged to Xie Jing Xing and hoped that Pei Ming would return it.

These few people were undoubtedly Xie Jing Xing's admirers and they often showed their hospitality, even though Xie Jing Xing always had that indifferent appearance.

"You say it's his, what evidence do you have?" Pei Ming turned around and asked.

Once the snow maple tree is cut off, it will return to the ice and snow. Except for the roots, there are no traces. Besides, there are so many people in the valley now that there are so many trees that have been cut down. , who knows which tree the tree crystal is from.

Coming here is no different from training. Naturally, there will be battles among different sects, and there will even be rivalries among the same sect. If it is unreasonable, according to the unwritten rules, whoever has the ability to snatch it will be the one.

"You! You don't have to drink a toast!" Shen Wangxing was so angry at him, with the eyesight of a cultivator, how could he fail to see that this was the tree crystal that Xie Jing Xing was chasing after, the other party was undoubtedly trying to renege on his debt.

He was about to fight Pei Ming with his sword, but Xie Jing Xing stopped him: "Since it is mine, naturally I will fight."

"But Jing Xing, you can't beat him." Shen Wangxing never speaks out of his head.

Xie Jing Xing said indifferently: "If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. If you lose, it's because my skills are not as good as others."

His eyes are so calm, it reminds Pei Ming of someone.

Ten years in Yunzhe Peak, he also watched Jiang Yumian for ten years, and now he also remembered that others would call Xie Jingxing "cold beauty" privately in the future. The appearance is indeed few people can compare.

Unfortunately, compared to Jiang Yumian, it's nothing more than that.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Xie Jing Xing was defeated, he himself had never thought of a life-and-death fight, and when he saw that he was defeated, he stopped.

"See you in the future." He clasped his sword, his eyes were still calm, but he felt a little frustrated in his heart. Now that his cultivation level is not enough, he will have to retreat and practice hard when he returns, so that he can fight again in the future.

It has to be said that this kind of calm and plain mind is invaluable to young people.

Only Pei Ming dismissed this, even he couldn't figure it out, obviously the other party had a good face, if it was someone else, maybe he would have looked at it more, but it was Xie Jing Xing.

Shen Wangxing was furious, but Xie Jingxing had conceded defeat, so he had no choice but to leave.

Pei Ming also left here, and went deep to find the demon tree.

Swords and swords were staged everywhere in Xuefeng Valley, which lasted for a long time.

The white demon snake integrated with the tree trunk quietly approached the rear, aimed at the opening in Pei Ming's neck and darted across the air, but was pinched by seven inches when he almost succeeded.

How difficult it is to transform a monster into form. This Snow Demon Snake is still far away from transforming into form. With some cultivation at this time, it is undoubtedly a good medicinal material. Snake venom can also be used to quench swords and concealed weapons. Pei Ming didn't waste it and put it into a jade bottle middle.

He continued to search forward, and before taking a few steps, he sensed his spiritual sense, and turned his head to look at the sky behind him.

Jiang Yumian closed the folding fan in his hand, and the wind gathered under his feet gradually dissipated, and it slowly fell towards the valley below.

Many people in the valley saw him. In the eyes of others, he was dressed in white clothes, and his expression was cold and distant, as if he didn't care about anyone or anything, and everything was just passing by.

However, even so, many people couldn't look away because of his outstanding appearance.

Before falling down, Jiang Yumian inadvertently saw a very good-looking boy in the woods. He looked about the same age as Pei Ming, and at a glance, he felt that he had an elegant demeanor, which was in stark contrast to the boy with golden decorations next to him.

He couldn't help thinking that it seemed to be a good match for his eyes.

The snow maple forest is very big, and you can't see it when it falls down. Pei Ming ran from not far away and saluted with a smile: "Master."

"Yeah." Jiang Yumian nodded, and said, "I'm planning to go to Jishi Mountain and let you know when I pass by."

"How long will Master be going?" Pei Ming asked.

"At least one or two months, I don't know the details yet." Jiang Yumian said, and felt relieved when he saw that his apprentice remembered wearing fox fur and was not injured.

He was originally drinking tea at Yunzhe Peak, and he thought that Pei Ming's magic weapon of Yukong had not been found yet, and two years later he would reach the age of the crown. This place is different from his previous life. Boys only reach the crown at twenty, that is, they are adults.

He thought it would be better to refine one by himself, or find good materials and ask others to refine it. He had just left customs and had nothing to do in the Snow Mountain School, so he just came out directly.

After he finished speaking, he looked around. The snow maple tree was indeed different from other trees, especially the leaves.

Seeing his gaze like this, Pei Ming thought for a while, and was about to take out the tree crystal he had obtained, when Jiang Yumian suddenly made a move, and a sword energy brushed past him, as sharp as an ice blade.

A not-so-small snow maple tree fell down suddenly, and the snow foam on the ground was smashed up. The tree crystals that wanted to escape were absorbed by a spiritual force, and there was no chance of escape.

While doing it, Jiang Yumian asked, "There is a person who walks with a person covered in gold, who is about your age, do you know him?"

He had doubts in his heart, so he asked them out. Besides, in his eyes, Pei Ming was his apprentice, so asking a question was just a small talk, and it was better than nothing to say.
