I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1920: Ice Palace Biyou
Upon hearing this, Chen Shanhe smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Grand Elder Liu Jun, the reason I came here this time is because the commotion here is too loud. I was forced by my good friend to come here to mediate." There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and it was obvious that he did not want to get involved in this muddy water.

However, he also knew that Elder Bi You of the Ice Palace had been his close friend for many years, and the two had a deep friendship. This time Elder Bi You came to him with sincerity, hoping that he could come forward to resolve the conflict between Mu Chuan of the Ice Palace and Liu Jun. As a close friend, he naturally could not stand idly by.

Therefore, Chen Shanhe, full of helplessness and entanglement, could only bite the bullet and walk heavily to talk to Liu Jun. You know, this is not just his personal wish, but the entire Dan Sect is unwilling to have a grudge with the Bing Palace. Of course, this does not mean that the Dan Sect is afraid of the Bing Palace, but when it comes to their lofty level, it is best to avoid a complete fallout.

"Grand Elder Liu Jun, I have long heard that, at such a young age, you have already become an admired master of alchemy, and a master with extraordinary attainments in the art of formations. I am fortunate to meet you today. You are indeed a handsome man, a rare talent. I am the steward elder of the Ice Palace, Bi You, and I would like to pay my respects to you." As he spoke, Elder Bi You bowed respectfully to Liu Jun. His attitude was so sincere that no one could find any fault with it.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Liu Jun has always liked people who are polite and know when to advance and retreat.

"Elder Bi You is really too polite. In my opinion, this is just a regrettable misunderstanding. However, several people on our side were injured, and my most beloved student was ruthlessly shot by your Ice Palace people. If I hadn't tried my best to rescue him in time, I'm afraid this young life would have been lost. How do you think we should deal with this matter?" Liu Jun said with a smile, but in that smile, there was a hint of seriousness and questioning.

"We at the Ice Palace are deeply saddened and apologetic about the unfortunate injury of your sect's disciples. Although we cannot completely replace this unexpected pain, we hope to express our sincerity and willingness to compensate with practical actions. Therefore, we at the Ice Palace are willing to generously give out one hundred extremely precious snow plums and 2 billion divine coins as compensation for this incident. We hope to do our best to help your sect's disciples recover and alleviate your sect's losses. What do you and Elder Chen think?" Elder Bi You said with a solemn expression and earnest words.

"One hundred snow plums!" As soon as these words came out, the scene was instantly boiling, and there was an uproar. Everyone's face was filled with shock and disbelief. Even the people inside the Ice Palace were stunned, with unbelievable light flashing in their eyes. Even the Ice Palace's young master Mu Chuan, who usually had a calm face, could not help but frown slightly at this moment, obviously surprised by the generous amount of this compensation.

This snow plum is not an ordinary thing. It is an indispensable material for refining the Snow Plum Pill. And the Snow Plum Pill is a rare treasure in the God Realm. It can play a huge role in breaking through the realm. After taking it, it can resist the invasion of the inner demon and greatly increase the success rate of breaking through the realm. Because of this, the snow plum has always been sought after and desired by everyone in the God Realm.

However, the preciousness of snow plums is far more than that. They are only produced in the Ice Palace, and the yield is extremely low. Only a single-digit number of snow plums can be produced in a year. This makes snow plums almost a priceless existence, and even the powerful people in the God Realm cannot easily obtain them. Therefore, the appearance of these 100 snow plums is undoubtedly a shocking bomb in the God Realm, and its weight is enough to move everyone present.

Liu Jun's mouth twitched, and he felt an indescribable shock and emotion. He had expected that the Ice Palace would be very generous in making up for this incident, but the compensation in front of him was far beyond his expectations and imagination. This sincerity made Liu Jun have a deeper understanding of the Ice Palace's heritage and strength.

Elder Chen Shanhe leaned forward slightly and blinked at Liu Jun, his eyes flashing with a bit of cunning and expectation, as if he wanted to convey some subtle intentions to Liu Jun through this silent communication.

Seeing this, Liu Jun couldn't help but curl up a playful smile at the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself: "Oh my god, this old man? He gave so much compensation, but he is still not satisfied?" In an instant, Liu Jun understood the deep meaning behind Elder Chen Shanhe's eyes. It turned out that he was hinting for him to take the opportunity to gain more benefits.

So, Liu Jun cleared his throat and said hesitantly: "Ahem, well, Elder Bi You, you know, although I am also a master of alchemy, the difficulty of refining the Snow Plum Pill is extremely high. The success rate is barely less than 40%. So, can you give me... a hundred or eighty of the snow plums needed for refining?" At this point, Liu Jun deliberately lengthened his tone, with a hint of expectation and cunning in his eyes.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Hearing Liu Jun's words, Elder Chen Shanhe suddenly started coughing violently. He didn't expect Liu Jun to ask for hundreds of snow plums. This was not asking for alchemy materials, it was just like buying vegetable seeds in the market!

Elder Bi You was embarrassed. He frowned slightly and calculated in his heart. If it was divine coins, it would be fine. After all, the Ice Palace was rich and powerful and had no shortage of them. But this snow plum was different. He had the right to decide only 100 of them. This was specially given to him by the Supreme Elder of the Ice Palace, asking him to make friends with Liu Jun. But Liu Jun had such a big appetite. How could he make friends with him?
"This..." Elder Bi You pondered for a moment, frowning, his eyes moving back and forth between Liu Jun and Elder Chen Shanhe, as if looking for a clue to untie the knot in the complicated situation, a solution that would satisfy both parties. His eyes revealed a solemnity after careful consideration. Obviously, the situation in front of him was much more complicated than he expected. Liu Jun, on the other hand, looked relaxed, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He leaned back in his chair leisurely, with his hands gently folded on his chest. Because he knew in his heart that the Ice Palace must have come here this time to ask him for something, or to ask the entire Dan Sect for something. Otherwise, the Ice Palace would never put down such an arrogant attitude and negotiate with him so humbly.

At this time, Mu Chuan, the young master of the Ice Palace, slowly came over. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step revealed a majesty that could not be ignored. He walked in front of Liu Jun, looked directly into his eyes, and said firmly: "I can decide to give you another hundred snow plums, but you must hand over the Ice God Core."

Hearing this, Liu Jun sighed softly, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He shook his head and said slowly: "I don't have the Ice God Core. It's not in my hands at all."

Mu Chuan's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He retorted anxiously, "How is that possible? When we were in the Flame God Temple, I saw you snatch the Ice God Core with my own eyes! Don't try to lie to me!"

Liu Jun shrugged helplessly, knowing that his explanation at this moment might be just a quibble in Mu Chuan's eyes. But he still explained seriously: "I did grab the Ice God Core, but I couldn't bring it out. I can swear to the Heaven that the Ice God Core is still in the Tomb of the God King, and I really didn't bring it out."

Mu Chuan's face was uncertain when he heard this. He was obviously half-believing and half-doubting Liu Jun's words. But Liu Jun's oath made it impossible for him to completely deny his words. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said: "Then you must give me a reasonable explanation, why you were able to grab the Ice God Core, but failed to bring it out?"

Liu Jun smiled bitterly. He knew that he was in an awkward situation. But he still tried his best to explain: "The situation was complicated at that time. You know that after I got the Ice God Core, I was immediately besieged by others. A lot of you were chasing me. In that situation, I could only choose to save my life first, so..."

Mu Chuan was silent for a moment after hearing this. He knew that Liu Jun's words were a little vague, but in this situation, he had no better choice. He sighed and said, "Okay, I believe you this time. But you must give me a clear answer as soon as possible. Where is the Ice God Core? The specific location, we need it in the Ice Palace."

"At the northernmost end of the Tomb of the God King, stands an extremely huge and magnificent building. It's inside." Liu Jun revealed the location of Intelligent Brain No. 1 without hesitation.

Mu Chuan stared at Liu Jun's eyes, trying to catch a trace of lies. However, after a long and tense stare, Mu Chuan finally had to reluctantly admit a terrifying possibility, that is, Liu Jun did not lie. The extremely precious Ice God Core was indeed still in the Tomb of the God King, and it was exactly at the location Liu Jun pointed out.

Liu Jun certainly didn't lie. In fact, the Ice God Core had already been used by him and Intelligent Brain No. 1. Now, the Ice God Core has become a waste product, with only a worthless waste core left. Moreover, this waste core is placed in the base of Intelligent Brain No. 1. Because of this, what he said was the location of Intelligent Brain No. 1, so he didn't lie from beginning to end. However, at most, he didn't tell all the key things.

If this Ice Palace really possesses extraordinary abilities and can bravely step into the Tomb of the God King once again and successfully find the base of Intelligent Brain No. 1, the scene would surely be extremely exciting, full of unknown surprises and full of easter eggs.

"By the way, let me give you a friendly reminder. If you really find that place, you must be polite to the people inside. This is good for your personal safety." Liu Jun narrowed his eyes and said solemnly.

Liu Jun's reminder does not mean that he has become a good person and still knows how to remind others, but he is simply giving a reminder because the Ice Palace has gained so many benefits from this huge bleeding.
