The dark and dreary sky.

Large lead-gray clouds hung low in the sky, and when viewed from a distance, the pressure was as heavy as a mountain.

The cold wind was bitter, the piercing whistling sound was like the desperate whimper of the demons, and the terrible whirlwind was mixed with fist-sized hailstones, smashing against the heavy shield of the city protection array, rubbing a large area of fire and light rain.

“…… What the hell is the weather! ”

On the huge city wall, Luo Ting squinted his eyes and looked overhead, scolding secretly in his heart, and continued to patrol with the guards. The soles of the fiery cowhide boots embellished with steel sheets stepped on the cold, hard green rock floor, making a dull grinding sound.

"My lord, it looks like this year's ice storm is coming early." Beside him, a pro-soldier spoke out with some concern.

Luo Ting sighed, the climate and environment of this Frost Continent were extremely harsh, especially in the last few decades, it had become more and more terrifying. Not to mention the perennial ice and snow, most of the year is spent in terrifying storms and snowstorms.

Heavy snow makes it difficult for any caravan, traveler, or adventurer to travel, and ordinary small villages and towns will not survive, and only those cities that have reached a certain size and have the ability to build a protective circle can survive such a natural disaster.

What's even more terrifying is that some high-level indigenous beasts will take advantage of such bad weather to come out to forage for food, and even attack the many cities inhabited by the human race in groups. If it can't be resisted, the whole city will die.

"Inform the few adults who are presiding over the magic circle that the snow storm is likely to come early, so you need to reserve some spirit stones,"

Luo Ting frowned and said, "Those large and small chambers of commerce in the city have to be informed, and reserve more materials to deal with emergencies." As soon as this snowstorm came, I don't know how many people were killed and wounded, and I had to recruit a group of monks to help defend the city. ”

The scale of Xuanyun City is not particularly large, and it has not existed long enough, so the city's defense force is limited, and it must recruit a sufficient number of casual cultivators to meet the demand.

As for the material and financial reserves of the castle guard, it should not be a problem to survive this natural disaster.

After instructing the city guards for a while, the commander went down to the city, intending to go back to discuss the closure of the city after the snowstorm fell.

"My lord, it's almost noon, why don't you go and fill your stomach first." A lieutenant who had always been close to him suggested.

Luo Ting was a little moved, thought for a while, and said, "Then find a restaurant, or go to the last ......."

"My lord, my subordinates know that there is a new noodle restaurant."

The lieutenant said with great interest: "The food there tastes very good, it is said that the ingredients used are not simple, and eating more will have the effect of gaining cultivation, and the business is very good." ”

"Noodle shop? Could it be that it was loosely cultivated? Luo Ting guessed the possible reason as soon as he heard it.

The high-grade ingredients that can increase cultivation are not something that ordinary merchants can obtain, unless they are those who are strong enough to cultivate.

It's just that since they have already set foot on the path of cultivation, the status of the monks is far from being comparable to that of all beings in the secular world. Even if you need to earn financial resources, you will choose alchemy refiners, be employed by a trading house or some big people as a guest, or you will hunt those powerful spirit beasts on the ice field, and it is rare to come out to do this kind of ordinary business.

He thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "That's it, let's go over and have a look." ”

The bustling streets in the center of the city are bustling with pedestrians.

Although the environment of the Frost Continent is extremely harsh and not suitable for human survival and reproduction, because of the existence of many rare and special resources, many monks still flock to this place. Over the years, with the accumulation of scattered cultivation operations from generation to generation, many towns have been established.

Adjacent to several large commercial houses, there is a newly opened noodle restaurant, the store decoration is decent, the place is not big, but there are many customers. More than a dozen tables were almost full, and there were many curious onlookers outside.

On the wide moire Zen fragrant wood board, a young girl in Tsing Yi with bright eyes and delicate facial features is kneading her face, her long eyelashes blinking, and her black and white beautiful eyes are full of concentration. The huge dough was arbitrarily rounded and flattened by her, and it was done in a short time.

Then the girl moved out a delicate copper round tripod, the tripod body was glowing with a faint aura, she skillfully played a few hands of the magic trick, untied the seal on the lid of the tripod, the rich meat fragrance overflowed, and it was already minced and processed meat filling.

The fragrance was so strong that even people outside couldn't help but move their index fingers and swallow their saliva secretly.

“…… This is the taste of Purple Frost Snow Beef, and it is at least a cow that has lived for more than two hundred years,"

A San Xiu with a hideous scar on his face lowered his voice and said, "I was lucky enough to taste it thirty years ago, and that taste...... Tsk, that's wonderful! ”

Everyone couldn't help but be awe-struck, the meat of the Purple Frost Snow Cow tasted extremely delicious, and long-term consumption could strengthen the physique, nourish the muscles, bones, qi and blood, and even the core descendants of the top Taoist system favored this high-end ingredient.

It's just that the Purple Frost Snow Cow has a fierce temperament, and most of the adult bodies have the strength above the Rongyuan Realm, and most of them are active in groups, so it's not easy to hunt and kill. There are some on the market occasionally, and the price is naturally extraordinarily scary.

“…… Ahem, this purple frost snow cow is just that. Do you know where this dough comes from? It's all flour made from phoenix tail spirit wheat, plus Xingyang Danhua water, and it is made with some secret method, which is not something that ordinary people are qualified to enjoy! "Someone else is mysterious.

The phoenix tail spirit wheat is also a special spirit grass, which has always been only grown in the high-grade spirit fields, and the Xinyang Danhua water is also an important auxiliary material for refining the spirit pill, which is very beneficial to the monks.

"Yes, yes, and not only these, but also the Ice Plain Snow Roe Deer, the Horned Fire Snake, and the Snow Silk Shark...... They are all rare and delicious ingredients, mixed with various elixirs and herbs. As long as you have enough spirit stones, you can eat them in this shop! A casual cultivator who was obviously a regular customer sighed.

Everyone was relatively speechless, the ingredients and seasonings here were all taken from the demon beasts and spirit beasts above the Rongyuan Realm, as well as the corresponding grade of elixir spirit grass, the taste is really not to say, but unfortunately this price is not something that ordinary people can hope for. Except for some casual cultivators who have a relatively solid net worth, the high-level officials of the Chamber of Commerce, and the dignitaries in the city, outsiders can only watch and look greedy.

When Luo Ting came over, he saw that the beautiful girl was making buns, her slender hands were as flexible and fast as butterflies wearing flowers, and buns of the same size and delicate appearance appeared neatly on the board.

He looked around the store and saw that there were exactly two tables vacant, so he immediately took his own people over and sat down.

"What does the guest want?"

A man in a white shirt with deep eyes and impeccable facial features walked over with a few delicate and lovely maids, asked gently, and handed over a jade slip.

Luo Ting took it and said, "I want a bowl of Yunjiao meat steak noodle soup, give each of them a bowl of purple frost snow beef noodle soup, in addition to five cages of ice field snow roe deer buns, two sword shark meat hot pot......"

"Okay, a total of fifty medium-grade spirit stones will be accepted, thank you, guest officer!" The man in the white shirt smiled slightly.

Luo Ting smiled slightly bitterly in his heart, he himself was a high-level cultivator of the Spirit God Realm, and he held the position of the commander of the city guards, and he had a lot of oil and water on weekdays, but he spent so much for a meal, which also made him feel a little painful.

took out the spirit stone and handed it to the other party, and after a while, the steaming noodles, buns, and hot pot were served, and the delicate noodles, pale golden soup, and attractive fragrant smell made the Lord Luo Ting, who was proficient in food, moved.

“…… Being able to let the dignified generation of Demon Venerables personally entertain you is a blessing that you can't cultivate in eight lifetimes. ”

After Qin Luyan finished making the last bun, she glanced sideways at the Luo Ting people who were eating happily, and a faint smile flashed in her eyes.

It has been more than three months since he came to this icy and snowy continent, and on a whim, the idle Dragon Eclipse Demon Venerable opened such a noodle restaurant with his old friend, he was the manager, and the Bloodfall Demon Venerable was the shopkeeper, and Qin Luyan took up the work of the chef.

Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden also has an attitude of interest in this kind of thing, and she is very serious about it, anyway, she will not be able to go back to the sect for a while and a half, and it is not bad to have some fun for herself while cultivating and improving.

In the depths of the sea of knowledge, the cracks on the Holy Spirit Ding of Hongmeng Creation have been repaired a lot, and the overflowing spiritual light has become thicker and brighter.

After the battle that day, this innate treasure devoured hundreds of middle and low-level magic weapons, as well as a large number of Dao soldiers and ghost puppets, as well as the souls of a large group of strong people above the Void Realm, which can be said to be a good replenishment.

The essence of heaven and earth was continuously attracted and gathered, and the sea of consciousness that was integrated into Qin Luyan disappeared, mixed with the inexplicable rhyme of the mysteries, which continued to improve her strength.

And Qin Luyan herself has also benefited a lot from this battle, after this period of digestion and accumulation, she is now a threefold cultivation of the Spirit God Realm, and her actual combat power has reached the level of an invincible opponent in the Returning to the Void Realm.

"This Frost Continent, it seems a little weird?" While she was busy, she was secretly communicating with Ding Ling.

"Yes, there are quirks." Ding Ling replied lightly.

On the surface, this vast continent is the birthplace of the cold current of the Cangling Realm Heaven, the coldest region in the entire Realm Heaven, and the Frost Law dominates the Bitter Cold Land.

However, Qin Luyan has been here for so long and has read a lot of historical materials and biographies about the Frost Continent, so it is easy to judge that things are not so simple.

At least in ancient times, this continent was not as terrible as it is now, only later became so, especially in the last hundred years, when the environment here has become more and more harsh.

"Did an ancient power go to war here and cause permanent damage here?" She asked.

"No, it has nothing to do with going to war."

Ding Ling responded: "It is more likely that there is a naturally formed super-large magic circle on the continent, which has continued to operate until now, which has caused the imbalance of the laws of heaven and earth here. ”
