Chapter 445: On the top of the mountain

A bowl of hot soup would be the best thing to drink on a cold night, and Long Zun sat on a leather cushion and boiled a whole pot of hot soup.

He has three storage tools alone, and the storage space is even larger, which contains all kinds of spice boxes and food, and not only that, but he even has some for chopping wood.

Compared with others who only have one storage space, one of his three storage spaces is specially used to hold all kinds of daily necessities and things related to clothing, food, housing and transportation.

In short, as long as he has oxygen, he can make a fire to cook anywhere, such as this time on the ice field, a fire is raised, and hot soup is boiling in an iron pot on it.

Far away, you can smell the fragrant hot soup, and there is minced meat inside, it is simply a pot of fatty broth.

The ice field is very large, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction without the help of the stars on their heads, and for the disciples of the Sixteen Kingdoms who participated in the test like Long Zun, as long as they go upward, they will not be wrong.

After eating and drinking, Long Zun covered his body with a quilt with leather on one side and fluff on the other, then rolled on the left side, rolled on the right side, lifted both feet at the same time to put away the rich quilt under his feet, pressed down with his feet, and the whole person rolled into a ball, leaving only half of his head exposed.

As for why he didn't sit cross-legged and rest, it wasn't that he didn't want to, but it was too cold and he couldn't use his luck to absorb the aura, so it was better to wrap himself up warmer, and it could also save the consumption of Xuan power.

After dawn, I put away all my equipment, got back on the road, and continued to walk up the ice.

However, the ice surface is obviously getting steeper and steeper, but fortunately, there are still some cracks and fine marks that can be borrowed, otherwise it is impossible to move forward without Xuanli.

This is also because the cultivator's body has been baptized by Xuan Li, and in some aspects it has far surpassed ordinary people, if it is an ordinary person, unless it is with the help of tools such as ropes, there is no hope that he can still go up the mountain.

Even so, Long Zun had already begun to use Xuan Force, and without Xuan Force, he would not be able to stand on his feet, let alone move forward on the ice.

Long Zun walked a distance along the way, and he would stop to rest for a while, eat a piece of the rhizome of a man-eating flower, replenish the consumed Xuan power, and always maintain the fullness of the Xuan power in the dantian.

Fortunately, there are enough man-eating rhizomes on his body, and so far, he has only used more than twenty pieces, which is not even one-fifth compared to the more than 100 pieces on his body.

After walking on the ice field for four days, he could finally see the black stone wall, and if he couldn't see its color, Long Zun almost thought that he had white-blue blindness.

The white ice and blue sky are all the same color for a few days, and I almost vomit when I look at it.

After walking a few quick steps to the side of the stone wall, Long Zun put his face on the stone wall, and finally left the damn ice field.

After hugging the stone wall for a while, Long Zun found that there was actually a trace of residual heat on the stone wall, and at first he thought that it was because he had been on the ice field for too long, and even the stones could be hot.

But later he found out that it was not the cause of the ice field, but the stone itself with temperature, although it was not very hot, it would definitely not let the cold ice field freeze.

Long Zun quickly reacted, there must be a heat source around this stone wall, otherwise the ice field not far away alone would freeze this stone wall into ice.

Taking a deep breath, I stomped the ice under my feet, and with a click, cracks appeared on the ice under my feet.

But at this time, Long Zun had already jumped high and jumped to one-third of the stone wall, and then pressed the palm of his hand on the surface of the stone wall, and his body rose again, this time it rose to nearly a quarter of the height.

With the help of the power of the stone wall several times in succession, Long Zun finally jumped to the top of the stone wall and stood directly on it.

As soon as he appeared on the stone wall, his eyes lit up, and in front of him was the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, compared to the ice field below him, it was simply two different worlds.

It's so bizarre, not far away is the cold ice field, but here it is a warm spring, and even the air has a feeling of dampness and warmth.

Long Zun walked along the cliff wall towards the front, about ten meters, there were steps, and then the gravel disappeared, and the feet turned into warm-colored dirt.

The ground is covered with a layer of green grass, with yellow wildflowers at short intervals, and trees farther away, including fruit trees such as peaches and plums.

The most surprising thing is that these fruit trees are in full bloom with flowers, and a large area of white and pink blooms.

After walking a distance, Long Zun finally knew why it was so warm here, even if it was not far away from the ice field, he couldn't feel it here.

It turned out that there was a hot spring here, and it was constantly gurgling from the ground, and it was no problem to boil the eggs at its temperature, because it didn't take long for him to cook an egg after putting it in.

The temperature of the hot springs is hot enough to withstand the cold on the ice fields outside, and the hot spring water that flows out of the hot springs not only moistens and warms the air after some heat dissipation during the flow process, but also the water temperature drops a lot.

In this way, except for the area around the hot spring, there are grass and trees everywhere that drink the hot spring water.

It's so comfortable to come out of the ice field, go through the cold, and then come to this hot spring.

After resting for a while, Long Zun continued on his way, and there was not much time left, he needed to reach the top of the mountain as quickly as possible.

This time he didn't stay long, after he used the ability of the wind system, the whole person was as fast as a gust of wind, fleeting, and the speed was so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to catch the whiskers.

However, it didn't take long for him to come to the bottom of a staircase, and above was the destination of this test.

There were already several young disciples from the Sixteen Kingdoms standing on it, and one of them was a martial arts powerhouse of the Golden Dragon Kingdom that he had seen at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing these people, he knew that he had arrived at the place, after all, even if he wanted to climb the mountain, there was no way to go, and his current location was the highest point of this mountain.

"Come on! You've passed the test. On the platform above the steps, the Martial Sect powerhouse stroked his white beard and said to Long Zun with a smile.

Long Zun stepped on the steps, and after more than ten steps, he went up to the stone platform above, and then bowed to the strong man of the Martial Sect before retreating to the side and standing with the other disciples of the Sixteen Kingdoms who had passed the assessment.

When we came to the platform, there were several stone tables with futons spread around them, and there were only a few of them, only ten in total.

There were already people sitting on five of the futons, and Long Zun walked over to the sixth futon and sat down.

When he arrived, the other five took one look at each other, and then they all withdrew their gaze and refocused their gaze in the direction below the platform.
