Chapter 173: White form immortal snake


    Trantor: Skyfarrow Editor: Skyfarrow


    Sunset clouds are blown away as cool wind fills the air, and the jade disc spins silently in the milky way.


    Bai Ning Bing looked out from the window and gazed at the night sky.


    A bright and sparkling moon was shining in the sky. asionally, wolf howls could be heard in the


    distance, adding some bleakness to the peaceful moonlight.


    In the study room, the Bai n leader was sitting at a side with a dazed expression.


    Just a moment ago, Bai Ning Bing told him about the Northern Dark Ice Soul physique.


    “Northern Dark Ice Soul….ten absolute aptitudes….” The Bai n leader mumbled constantly.


    “I have already sensed that my end is nearing, my aperture is gradually unable to endure the burden.


    These past few years, I’ve truly caused you much problems!” Bai Ning Bing softly sighed.


    His expression was calm. No longer was there the abnormal reckless and crazed state as before. What


    reced them was tranquility and peace.


    This tranquility and peace came from his heart.


    He had found his path and was no longer perplexed by life and death.


    People mature over time, and the stimtion from life and death could further speed up this process.


    Moonlight fell down like flowing water, illuminating Bai Ning Bing’s fair skin. Under the flowing radiance,


    his two blue eyes shone with depth.


    He was like a beautiful young man from a painting, with white hair and white clothes like the immortals


    in the clouds, causing people to look intently.


    “How could this happen? You were clearly A grade with 99% primeval essence when your aptitude was


    tested. It absolutely wasn’t the Northern Dark Ice Soul.” The Bai n leader was still refusing to ept


    it.


    “It was indeed so. But one day when I was cultivating, my aptitude suddenly advanced. I checked the


    ancient scrolls and records in the n and found some information on this; every 99% A grade aptitude


    has the possibility of advancing to ten absolute aptitudes while cultivating,” Bai Ning Bing said.


    “All ten defy the heavens, and the heavens can’t tolerate them. Even Ren Zu’s ten children didn’t have


    a good end. Sigh, is there really no way to salvage it?” Bai n leader felt pity and regret when he


    looked at the beautiful boy in front of him.


    He was the n’s pride and their hope to rise up in power. However, his life was already nearing its


    end. Despite glowing brightly, he was like a firework which could only shine splendidly for one single


    moment.


    “There are no ways to evade my impending doom, but there are some ways to dy it. However, all


    these methods need many years to prepare, which I don’t have.”


    Bai Ning Bing said all this and gave a lightugh, as if the one being discussed about was not him, but


    some irrelevant outsider.


    “Don’t worry. Who doesn’t die? True immortality doesn’t exist! As long as we live our life interestingly, it


    is enough.” He was instead consoling the n leader.


    “I cannot ept this! I absolutely cannot! Damn it, my Bai n has been suppressed by the Gu Yue


    n for centuries, we finally found hope but it ends up like this! No, there is still hope!”


    Bai n leader’s voice got louder and louder till suddenly, his expression turned firm as if he had


    decided on something.


    “Follow me, I will bring you to a ce….” He stood up and said.


    After a while.


    The bright moonlight shone upon a deep pool.


    “This is the spirit spring?” Bai Ning Bing asked. He had been led by the Bai n leader as they went


    through a long secret pathway, and finally arrived here.


    “Indeed. This is our n’s restricted area, the location of the spirit spring. You also know this — every


    n’s foundation is established upon a natural spirit spring, where the primeval stones produced by it


    will be used to provide for their cultivation. Our Bai n can only be considered a small-medium scale


    n, and only by annexing Gu Yue and Xiong n as well as possessing at least three springs can we


    be arge scale n,” Bai n leader sighed.


    “Then n leader, what did you bring me here for?”


    Bai n leader’s face revealed aplex expression, and as he turned around to look at Bai Ning


    Bing, his expression contained some hesitation, “I had originally never thought of bringing you here.


    However, the affairs of the world are hard to anticipate. To think, you would end up possessing


    Northern Dark Ice Soul! Your only chance at living lies within this spring.”


    “What is in this spring?” Bai Ning Bing asked.


    “A great Immortal!” Bai n leader said with a deep voice.


    “Great Immortal?” Bai Ning Bing was bbergasted.


    “Great Immortal is its title. It is a snake Gu left by our Bai n’s first generation ancestor. It likes


    cleanliness, and its food is the water of spirit spring. It has always been secretly living in the spirit


    spring,” Bai n leader introduced.


    “Before the first generation ancestor passed away, he set up a secret inheritance and left behind this


    snake Gu as a clue. If you can get the approval of the Great Immortal, it will open the secret inheritance


    for you. But if you can’t receive its approval….” The Bai n leader stopped his sentence in the middle.


    “What happens then?” Bai Ning Bing asked.


    Bai n leader’s expression turned grave and he said, “It will kill you!”


    At the same time, Gu Yue vige.


    Inside the room, Tie Ruo Nan kept her recon Gu and nodded with satisfaction, “The environment here


    is pretty good, it’s rather clean.”


    The ‘clean’ she referred to wasn’t talking about the cleanliness of the room, but was pointing at theck


    of surveince.


    It was impossible to say that there absolutely wasn’t any surveince.


    After all, Tie Xue Leng was rank five, so he possessed too great of a threat. Hence, there was a


    necessity for some precautions.


    However, Gu Yue n’s defensive and surveince measures were just at the right amount and the


    level was quite low too, not creating any feelings of provocation and aversion. It could even be taken as


    excessively earnest and passionate reception, which was why Tie Ruo Nan gave the assessment of


    ‘rather clean’.


    Tie Xue Leng slightly nodded, “Ruo Nan, you have followed me for so long and have learned many


    things. However, some things can only be learned by taking actions and not just by spectating from the


    sides. Hence, I handed this case to you.”


    “Father, I will definitely work hard and give my best!”


    “Good. Then, let me ask you, what should your next step be?” Tie Xue Leng was deliberately testing


    her.


    Tie Ruo Nan smiled. She turned around and gazed at the moon through the window, “The moon is


    beautiful tonight. Dad, can I have the pleasure to take you around this Gu Yue vige?”


    Upon hearing this, Tie Xue Leng revealed a gratifying smile.


    When starting out on a case, it was not urgent to understand the details of the case. The first step to


    solve a case was to survey the surroundings.


    The father and daughter pair slowly walked through the streets. After resisting the most terrifying


    attacks of the wolf tide, Gu Yue n was now in a wretched state.


    There were copsed bamboo buildings and bloodstains all around. Junks were piled up all over the


    ce and feeble moaning sounds of crippled people could be heard from time to time.


    The Tie father and daughter pair walked around the vige without saying any words.


    “Fang Yuan, you bastard, fuck off!” Suddenly, a loud roar came from within a courtyard.


    The Tie father and daughter stopped walking.


    After a long while, the courtyard gate opened and Fang Yuan walked out while rubbing his nose with a


    vague smile on his face.


    “Hello, little brother Fang Yuan.” Tie Xue Leng took the initiative to send his greetings.


    “Junior pays his respects to lord divine investigator.” Fang Yuan constrained his smile and cupped his


    hands.


    “Little brother, we are new here and don’t know the ce well. Is it possible for little brother to tell us a


    thing or two?” Tie Xue Leng suddenly asked.


    Tie Ruo Nan nced at her father, but she didn’t make anyments.


    Fang Yuan’s gaze hardened, he was just about to go meet them but this opportunity was delivered right


    up to him.


    “Both of you have travelled a great distance and suffered hardships toe and solve the case, the


    whole vige ought to help you. Please follow me.” Fang Yuan spoke directly without showing the


    slightest evil intention, and walked in front.


    …


    The spirit spring was raging like the boiling water.


    All of a sudden, the springwater rose up like a tidal wave.


    After it reached a certain height, the spirit spring scattered and sshed in all directions. A slender


    white snake, its whole body covered with snow white scales, tread on the waves and revealed its


    elegant appearance.


    Its eyes were like jade, cold and indifferent. On the two sides of its head were a pair of long whiskers,


    floating like celestial ribbons.


    Rank five white form immortal snake Gu!


    “I pay respects to Great Immortal!” Bai n leader emotionally kneeled on the ground, and at the same


    time anxiously urged, “Bai Ning Bing, why are you not kneeling down?”


    “I will never kneel before a Gu!” Bai Ning Bing coldly snorted, his body standing upright and tall.


    Although the white form immortal snake Gu released an ethereal cold grandeur with heavy killing intent


    concealed within, Bai Ning Bing was not the least bit afraid. His two blue pupils directly stared at its


    snake eyes.


    Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.


    The spirit spring and the Bai n leader had be insignificant background objects.


    Under the bright moonlight, the picturesque youngster with blue pupils and the silver whiskered white


    snake gazed at each other.


    After a good while, the white snake suddenly gave a long cry and turned into a white rainbow,


    mming into Bai Ning Bing.


    Bai Ning Bing’s body jolted. The white light entered his aperture and turned into a white snake.


    The white snake upied the central area of his primeval essence, and with its tyrannical attitude, all


    the surrounding Gu were immediately forced to the side.


    “This situation…” Bai n leader stood up with a puzzled expression, “It doesn’t match what the n’s


    secret records say.”


    ording to the n’s secret records, once a Gu Master obtained approval, the white form immortal


    snake Gu would fly with the inheritor and open the inheritance in the sky.

    However, the current situation was somewhat weird.


    The white form immortal snake Gu took the initiative to enter Bai Ning Bing’s aperture and didn’t kill


    him, which should mean that it had approved of him. But why didn’t it carry Bai Ning Bing and fly to the


    sky?


    Could it be that the secret records were wrong?


    Bai n leader couldn’t make sense of it.


    ……


    Time quietly flew by.


    “That more or less sums up everything about Gu Yue vige. There is the underground cave, but that is


    a restricted area of the n and outsiders aren’t allowed entry.” Fang Yuan said.


    He looked at the bright moon in the sky and continued, “It is gettingte, please go and rest, you need


    to have the energy to investigate tomorrow, right?”


    “Hahaha, Elder Fang Yuan is correct. We are really thankful for Elder Fang Yuan’s directions, please


    go and take a rest,” Tie Xue Leng said.


    “In that case, I will take my leave.” Fang Yuan cupped his hands before directly leaving.


    Tie Xue Leng looked at Fang Yuan’s figure with interest, and only after Fang Yuan turned into a corner,


    did he take back his gaze.


    “Ruo Nan, what do you think of this Fang Yuan?” He suddenly asked.


    “I don’t like him, my intuition tells me he is covered in shadows.” The young girl frowned.


    Tie Xue Leng nodded his head, “I know you have the Intuition Gu which strengthens your intuition, but


    we need definite evidence to solve a case. Just relying on intuition alone won’t be convincing. Don’t


    always depend on your intuition, I do not want you to use the intuition Gu to solve this case.”


    “Yes, father.”
