Jiang Ming looked at the blurry handwriting under the map fragment. However, he could not see it clearly.
"I wonder what this picture will look like when it is complete."
Jiang Ming shook his head and put the map fragment into his storage ring. He let the black sword observe it to see if it could see anything.
Then, he bid farewell to Li Qianya and the others and prepared to cross the Soul Suppressing River and continue into the depths of the snowy valley.
"There are some treasures in here that I obtained from the Cangming Grotto-Heaven's camp. There are some odds and ends as well. Consider it a reward for giving me the map fragment." Jiang Ming threw a storage ring to Li Qianya and smiled.
Li Qianya quickly took it and checked the storage ring. He was stunned and gasped in shock.
There were priceless treasures inside! How could Jiang Ming just call them odds and ends?
"Did you really kill dozens of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators?" Li Qianya still could not help but ask in shock.
"I was just lucky and caught them off guard." Jiang Ming laughed.
Li Qianya was speechless. This was clearly a lie.
"Wow, you're basically a god. Thank you, Zhang Shan!" In the end, Li Qianya could only thank him.
He looked at the various treasures in the storage ring and felt a little excited.
With these resources, especially the rare spirit herbs, the cultivation of his Foundation Establishment Realm would definitely be more stable.
"Zhang Shan, we'll be in Xuanguang City and won't be leaving for the time being. If you and Yan Chixia are free, you must come and visit!"
A moment later, Li Qianya smiled brightly. He was holding the folding fan in his hand and had returned to his elegant state. It was obvious that he was in an extremely good mood.
A map fragment that was useless to him had been exchanged for so many cultivation resources. It was definitely a good deal.
"Definitely!" Jiang Ming replied with a smile.
Before she left, Qi Yue suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Ming with a smile. "Everything is fine at the Chasing Moon Lake. Don't worry, Zhang Shan."
Jiang Ming was stunned for a second and then smiled calmly.
Qi Yue did not say anything else. She took out a flying sword and turned into a streak of light as she fled far away.
"Did Qi Yue recognize me?" Jiang Ming's eyes were filled with bewilderment.
Jiang Ming instantly guessed what she meant. She was saying that Lu Xiaoyu was fine and that he did not have to worry.
Jiang Ming hummed. It seemed like the Chasing Moon Lake was quite powerful. He even felt that Li Qianya was a little reserved in front of Qi Yue.
"The most mysterious sect in the Feather Kingdom, the Chasing Moon Lake, might be a shockingly ancient sect," Jiang Ming muttered and suppressed all of this in his heart for the time being. He walked forward. He came to the Soul Suppressing River and stepped into the water.
The dark water surged. As soon as Jiang Ming touched it, he felt a vague and tangible force rushing toward his divine soul.
Although the force was very weak, it was like a tide, washing over him wave by wave. After a while, Jiang Ming felt a sharp pain in his divine soul, as if a layer of it had been forcefully cut off.
The indestructible origin light was immediately activated to repair it.
"The Soul Suppressing River is terrifying. No wonder the Soul Jade is almost impossible to obtain," Jiang Ming muttered to himself. No matter how strong a cultivator was, they would only dare cross the Soul Suppressing River by flying over it. Almost no one would ask for trouble and touch the water with their bodies.
It contained a strange power that could destroy the divine soul. It was not constant and was related to the strength of the immortal cultivator. The stronger their cultivation, the stronger the destructive power would be.
Therefore, it was unrealistic to rely on his powerful cultivation to come here and obtain the Soul Jade. Even if he could succeed, it was not worth it. The Soul Jade he obtained might not even be able to make up for the damage to his divine soul.
"However, I want to!"
Jiang Ming's eyes flashed as he looked around. It was quiet and there were no living beings around.
His entire body sank into the river. The water surged past, and no one could be seen anymore.
* * *
His field of vision was pitch black, and only a faint golden light flashed before his eyes. Jiang Ming knew that it was the so-called Soul Jade.
"The corrosion of my divine soul under the surface of the river has indeed become stronger." Jiang Ming frowned slightly. However, it was still within the range of his tolerance.
