Chapter 1131 Advance Into the Ice Field
The extreme north is inaccessible, and there are few mortals, but there are some places full of aura, which have attracted many monks to set up schools here.
Over time, in some relatively unique and relatively safe areas, some special markets were opened to trade extreme northern specialties, and became the peripheral forces of the extreme northern ice and snow palace.
For many years, the monks who have traveled to the extreme north have divided the extreme north into three large areas according to the degree of danger and the regional characteristics. Block area, that is, activities within the "frozen soil".
Permafrost, permanently frozen soil that does not thaw.
The entire ice field looks green and faint, with few vegetation seen. The cold ground is covered with a lot of unknown moss.
The strong wind was always howling on the ice field, and monks with lower strength were likely to be blown away by the strong wind.
The immeasurable donkey cart was traveling against the wind, and the stubborn little donkey could no longer run. On the carriage, a dim light began to flicker, and the large formation was opened to relieve the pressure on the donkey. Against the wind, the donkey pulled the cart and gradually deepened.
After the frozen ground, it will enter the ice sheet.
The ice field, the field of ice.
There is a new wind blowing all year round, freezing everything, and ordinary Jindan monks can't go far.
Some of the larger sects attached to the Ice and Snow Palace are distributed in the vast ice field, but most of them practice in the resident all year round. If they are not monks, they are rarely seen in the ice field. .
The last area is the "Ice and Snow World", the real core of the extreme north.
Snow flutters all the year round, the snow is several feet deep, and it is a region with unique weather such as polar day, polar night, and aurora.
The Holy Palace of Ice and Snow is hidden in it.
Even if the monks are strong enough, few monks go directly to the world of ice and snow, because the majesty of the Ice and Snow Palace cannot be violated, and all kinds of extreme weather are unparalleled tests for monks.
For example, the Extreme Northern Lights, even a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, would not dare to touch it lightly. If one is not good, the body of the Nascent Soul will be instantly turned into nothingness.
The last stop of the endless donkey cart going deep into the extreme north is only to the innermost part of the ice field, the area close to the ice and snow world, but it will not enter the ice and snow world.
According to Li Yuncong's reasoning, in principle, as long as you enter the ice field, heavy water may be formed, and the closer you are to the ice and snow world, the greater the chance.
As for what will happen in the Ice and Snow World, although Li Yuncong didn't say anything, Sun Hao understood that the Ice and Snow World definitely produced heavy water, but being controlled by the Ice and Snow Palace, ordinary monks had no chance to see it.
Sun Hao's plan is to search in the ice field first, and if that doesn't work, then enter the world of ice and snow. It is not a last resort, and he doesn't want to disturb Xia Qingyu, mainly because he doesn't want to disturb the Holy Palace.
A month later, the Wuliang donkey cart traveled against the wind and arrived at the first stop: the Xuanbing Cliff in the Extreme North.
A piece of cyan black ice stands beside a deep ice ditch, a cliff of ten thousand feet, with a platform of five or six acres in the middle, leeward, with some buildings on it, it is a small trading market.
Countless donkeys rushed into the market excitedly.
The five passengers started to wander around the small market with great interest, and Guo Nalong even started to greet some vendors familiarly, bargain and discuss some material transactions.
Sun Hao also walked around a few times with great interest, and indeed found a lot of ice-type special products, but these special products are generally of low grade, at most they are suitable for the cultivation of foundation cultivators, but they are not helpful to Sun Hao big.
It didn't take long for the small cliff to walk around, and Sun Hao returned to the Wuliang donkey cart, only to find that Jian Wushuang had already returned, and nodded to himself with a smile on his face.
After a while, Wei Bing also came back, he did not empty his hands, he held a small white flower in his hand, and sniffed it a few times in front of his nose from time to time, with an intoxicated look on his face.
Seeing Sun Hao, Wei Bing smiled, and said naturally: "Brother Xiaohao, this is snow lotus, a specialty of the ice field. The fragrance is fresh and refined, leisurely and elegant, but it has a special flavor."
Sun Hao looked at this "caring person" who cherished flowers, and felt a little familiar feeling in his heart again. He smiled and said, "Brother Wei is really in a good mood."
The little flower in Wei Bing's hand is indeed a snow lotus flower. Of course, it is a special product of the extreme north that is of low grade, low value, and more ornamental value than cultivation value, rather than the real treasure medicine "iceberg snow lotus" for extreme north cultivation.
In less than an hour, the monks had returned one after another.
Even Guo Nalong came back with a smile on his face.
Wei Bing asked enthusiastically: "Guo Daoist, why don't you talk about a few more deals, there is still more time."
Guo Nalong knew that all these passengers were of Gold Core cultivation level, and they were all higher than his own cultivation level, so he didn't dare to be cold again, and said with a wry smile: "I think so too, but you are all back, we have to leave soon. "
The other monks were slightly taken aback.
Sun Hao remembered some information, and a vague smile appeared on his face.
At this time, the originally relatively calm market suddenly broke out.
Someone shouted: "Wu Liang, you're selling me fakes again!"
Then, with a whistle and a bang, the unscrupulous Taoist priest landed on the donkey cart and yelled: "Shop around, how can it be fake? Lao He, don't you fucking wrong the good man, stupid donkey, go, Deer...drive..."
Inside the donkey cart, the five monks felt their bodies leaning back slightly, and the countless donkeys were already running wildly, running away familiarly.
Guo Nalong shrugged and waved his hands to everyone, as if to say: "Look, that's it."
Everyone couldn't help shaking their heads when they thought of the nickname of Unscrupulous Taoist Master.
Following such a monk, the trip to the extreme north may be a lot of trouble.
Afterwards, all the way, in the permafrost area, everyone really saw what it means to be an "unscrupulous leader".
He drove a donkey cart and stole someone's Sydney. The owner chased him, and he said: "Stupid donkey, you stole it again..." and then ran away.
When exchanging with someone, the sample they took out was nine-section folded ear, but after the exchange, the other party found that it had turned into Houttuynia cordata, and chased and killed it for dozens of miles.
Stealing and cheating all the way, crossed the entire permafrost area.
I saw the pure white ice field.
He let out a cry, and parked the Wuliang donkey cart at the entrance of the ice field. Daoist Wuliang sighed and said, "Fellow daoists, as expected, everyone's goal is the ice field. Hey, the ice field is dangerous. In the end, I said In a word, if you are not strong enough, please don't take risks lightly, the Taoist leader guarantees that as long as you are in the unscrupulous donkey cart, then you are safe, and you will not be responsible if you leave the Wuliang donkey cart."
After finishing speaking, the unscrupulous Taoist gave Sun Hao a special look.
Among the five passengers, Sun Hao's cultivation was the second-to-last, and he also looked the youngest in appearance. The advice given to Sun Hao by the unscrupulous Taoist priest was actually to move in the permafrost area, which would be relatively safe, but he didn't think so. This young Jindan Daoist is not afraid of tigers at birth, and actually followed into the ice field, but he needs an extra reminder.
Immeasurable donkey carts have been traveling in the extreme north for decades. The routes they travel are relatively safe and fixed. Every time they arrive at a station, they will stop for a period of time according to the distance of the resource gathering place. During this period, monks can go out to find opportunities. Just get back before the donkey cart sets off.
After entering the ice field, Juliufeng began to go out. Every time the donkey cart stopped, he would always rush into the ice field to find the ice-type elixir he needed.
Guo Nalong continued to find someone to trade.
Wei Bing, as always, tried his best to search for all kinds of exotic flowers and plants in the extreme north, and every time he saw one, he collected it very preciously.
Only Sun Hao and Jian Wushuang remained silent. Usually, the two of them sat in the donkey cart relatively quietly, meditating cross-legged, and occasionally chatting.
Unknowingly, the two gradually became familiar with each other.
Generating heavy water requires relatively harsh pressure conditions and a considerable amount of opportunity. There should be no peripheral areas of the ice sheet, so Sun Hao is not in a hurry.
Jian Wushuang's cultivation base is very high, and the resources on the periphery of the ice field are not eye-catching, so he needs to go in for a while before exploring.
After the immeasurable donkey cart advanced to the middle and front of the ice field, Sun Hao still did not move, but there was an extra cat in his arms.
At this time, the Wuliang Daoist finally couldn't help reminding Sun Hao: "Fellow Daoist Xiaohao, with your cultivation base, it is already a bit difficult to walk on the current ice field, but you have to do what you can."
Sun Hao stroked the dark blue fur of the kitten in his arms, and smiled calmly on his face: "Thank you, Daoist, Xiaohao knows what to do. By the way, Daoist, why did that aunt chase you after meeting you the day before yesterday?"
The face of the unscrupulous Taoist priest blushed slightly: "The past is unbearable, the youth is crazy, the youth is crazy..."
Jian Wushuang smiled, and said sincerely to Sun Hao: "Fellow Daoist Xiaohao, why don't you go into the ice field with me, and we will take care of each other. What the Taoist priest said is right, the ice field is full of dangers, but don't rush in." To be continued ~^~.)
