Chapter 189: Youzhou Extreme North, Ice Continent
In the early morning of this day, a frightening rainbow flew from far and near, from the horizon. Hot()
After circling in the sky, the rainbow fell, and the light spread out, revealing a handsome young man from within.
It's Ye Feng!
"This is the Ice Continent, and it is indeed a treasure land for cultivation. ”
Ye Feng stood up, looked at the image of abundance in front of him, and took a deep breath of the vitality here, although it was not as good as sitting on the Forgotten Peak, but it was not much worse, and cultivating here, it must be extremely fast.
Then Ye Feng glanced forward again, a small town came into view, Ye Feng's body moved, and he turned into a streamer in the direction of the town, and the reason why Ye Feng came here was that things had to be pushed back to three days ago.
In order to find the 10,000-year-old cold grass, he visited all over the big and small markets, and every pharmacy was unwilling to make mistakes.
Hard work pays off, three days ago, when Ye Feng tried his luck in a cultivator's market, when he said the Ten Thousand Year Cold Spirit Grass, the boss actually did not refuse, but showed a thoughtful look.
When Ye Feng saw it, he was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a few yuan stones, saying that as long as the other party said the information he wanted, it would be regarded as a reward.
Under the temptation, the boss also confided the truth, although this 10,000-year-old cold grass is not available now, but it has been purchased by accident before.
Ye Feng hurriedly asked the source, and asked when it might be there?
This time it was the boss's turn to smile bitterly, the person in front of him looked like a big customer, but unfortunately this business was difficult to do, that time to buy the 10,000-year-old cold grass, it was pure luck, God knows when it will be available.
However, taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others, since he received the Yuan Stone, he didn't dare to lie and deceive this senior in the late stage of Nirvana, so he told Ye Feng that the Ten Thousand Years Cold Spirit Grass was purchased from the Cold Ice Continent millions of miles away, and he might be able to get it there.
"Ice Continent?"
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment at that time, he had always practiced in retreat, except for the Seven Sects of the Righteous Path and the Demon Sect, he didn't know much about other sects. What's more, it is a realm millions of miles away, what kind of place is this in the Cold Ice Continent, Ye Feng thought for a while in his heart, and after a long time, he made up his mind, he wanted to go to this Cold Ice Continent.
After leaving the pharmacy, Ye Feng immediately bought a jade tube jade diagram in another store in Fang City. The jade tube is an introduction to the major sects and families in the Ice Continent, and I want to find some useful information for myself.
After finding the Ice Continent, he carefully read the contents inside. After watching it for a long time, Ye Feng left Fang City and immediately flew to the Cold Ice Continent without saying a word.
At this time, he looked at the town at the foot of the mountain, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, and after a slight groan, he walked over.
Although he did not perform the technique of controlling the sky, but the cultivators knew more or less one or two kinds of exercises to light the body, and the speed of casting them at this time was not slow.
Coming to the outskirts of the town, Ye Feng Xuangong was running, his whole body was full of breath, and his cultivation seemed to be only about the middle stage of the secret store, and then he entered the Fang City unhurriedly.
Generally speaking, although cultivators have not yet cultivated the Tao, they can also be said to be two worlds from the world, but the small town in front of them subverts this theory, and the town is not large, with a population of only a few thousand, but except for ninety percent of mortals, the other ten percent are actually all cultivators. And what's even more surprising is that even when they see all kinds of mysterious Dao techniques, there is no surprise on the faces of those mortals, as if they are accustomed to it.
This is obviously incomprehensible elsewhere, but here, everything seems so taken for granted, as if it should be.
Although he had already seen the introduction in the jade tube, Ye Feng's eyes still showed a hint of surprise.
Unlike other cultivation sects, which are high up and regard mortals as ants. The exercises of the Cold Ice Continent pay attention to entering the WTO, washing the dust of the soul in the rolling red dust, so as to remove the demonic obstacles and improve the realm of cultivation.
Therefore, the disciples of the Cold Ice Continent did not have the slightest rejection of mortals, but took the initiative to integrate into them, and even took the initiative to solve some problems for them.
Although it was originally intended for his own cultivation, it turned out to be a kind of charity.
In the beginning, mortals were hesitant to see how far these monks could go, but as time passed, hundreds of thousands of years of subtle influence, they became accustomed to it.
There are even some mortals, either because they have received the favor of "immortals", or because of some other reason, they have moved their families to live in the Ice Continent.
At first, there were only three or five households, and then it gradually became a small village, and finally, it became the size of the current town. [Dancing eBook wWw.75txt.]
For the move of mortals, the monks of the Cold Ice Continent did not have any rejection, anyway, there was a large array of protectors to protect the mountain gate, not to mention ordinary mortals, even if it was a cultivator with bad intentions, they would not want to enter the mountain gate lightly. What's more, in the past, it was only the monks who had succeeded in Nirvana that they could go out to practice and get rid of their demons.
Now there is such a town at the foot of the mountain, even the disciples of the secret storage period can also integrate into it and accept the test of worldly temptations.
The area of the town is not large, and it only took Ye Feng an hour to visit a few streets.
Then I picked an inconspicuous inn at the end of the town and walked in.
Ye Feng didn't plan to enter the Cold Ice Continent now, because according to the records in the jade tube, this place was ruled by the Cold Mountain Sect, one of the four major sects of the Cold Ice Continent.
Hanshan Gate is a closed sect, except for some small sects and families nearby, they are reluctant to interact with other monks, simply put, xenophobia.
There is always an inexplicable hostility towards monks who come from afar, whether they are righteous or demonic.
For example, in the Youzhou realm, Za Forget Peak is considered a sect that can be eaten by both the righteous and the demonic, but it is not used only in the Cold Ice Continent. This sect, in order to have less contact with the outside world, even did not hesitate to spend huge financial and material resources, and trained two alchemists by itself, although the skills could not be compared with Za Wangfeng, but it could barely meet the needs of the sect.
What made Ye Feng even more speechless was that the Cold Ice Continent had recently been more strict in inspecting and controlling foreign monks.
The reason for this has a lot to do with the local environment today.
In the past ten years, although the cultivation world is still calm on the surface, but in private, it is you who come and go, and the fight is not lively, speaking of which, it is still the fault of the Demon Slayer Demon King.
Although in the end, the Dust Pill was scattered in two, and no one obtained the righteous path or the demon path.
But the action of the Heavenly Demon Killer made it difficult for the three giants to sleep, this demon not only cultivated to the realm of the middle stage of feathering, but also even possessed the anti-heaven supernatural power of the second primordial god.
And the few Supreme Elders of the Seven Giants are only in the early stage of feathering. Even if they join forces, they will only form a kind of balance with the Demon Venerable.
The strength of the two sides is equal, and on the surface, it seems that mutual scruples are beneficial to peace, but do not forget the power of the right path for thousands of years. has always been far above the zero-level god/19181/demon road.
Naturally, the resources they occupy are several times more.
Now that the power of the Demon Dao has risen sharply, he naturally refuses to be satisfied with this situation, and has put forward new requirements for the Yuan Vein and the Yuan Stone Mine.
Not to mention, the Heaven Slayer Demon Venerable was originally an ambitious guy.
Who is willing to spit out the fat in the mouth, and the seven giants of the righteous path are not vegetarians, and they are willing to give up their vested interests after being the master of Youzhou for thousands of years.
The elders of the feathering period on both sides have met privately a few times, negotiating, threatening, showing strength, and all kinds of methods have been used again. And once it falls out, then the entire four departments of Youzhou will all be in chaos.
It's just that the two sides are not ready, and they do have scruples about each other, so they can carry out, but the calm on the surface, where can hide the breath of the mountain rain and the wind full of buildings, the whole Youzhou is like a string, the tighter it is.
Another reason for the two sides to temporarily maintain restraint is to sit on the peak.
After the death of the Demon Slayer Demon King, the two sides of the demon broke up, but soon, there were rumors that there was a Forgotten Peak and the Dust Turning Pill.
Although the old monsters in the Nirvana period did not believe it, they still sent many disciples to monitor them with the heart that they were not afraid of 10,000 but in case. As a result, he naturally found nothing, but he unintentionally inserted willows, but he obtained the information that Za Wangfeng was not only good at alchemy, but also hid the information of many masters.
The monks of the other sects of the Righteous Demon were naturally very surprised, and naturally they were a little jealous of Sitting Forget Peak.
This is enough to make both the righteous and the demon scruples, if their own side starts a war, the world changes color, the sun and the moon are gone, but in the end, they let the fisherman of the Forgotten Peak benefit, wouldn't it be a big loss?
What made them even more depressed was that unlike the clear distinction between the two sides, the door to the cultivators had been open for thousands of years, and both the righteous and the demon could eat it.
Although they are good friends with the righteous path, they are not bad with the devil's path, but with their strength, they don't need to be wall grass.
The two sides are now evenly matched, and the attitude of sitting and forgetting the peak is very important.
But the other party pretended not to know and was unwilling to express his position.
And now in a subtle form, it is not enough to force the other party to take a stand, and it is easy to push Za Wangfeng into the arms of the other side.
The two sides of the right and the devil can only secretly send people to sit on the peak to win over, but the people of Tongyu are cunning and cunning, and they do not leak a drop of water when they talk and do things, neither explicitly agreeing nor explicitly refusing, leaving room on the left and right, so that the two sides of the right and the devil can't cry and laugh, but they are helpless.
It was precisely because of the involvement of Zao Forget Peak that the forces of the Youzhou cultivation world had reached a more delicate balance.
The demons have been fighting for tens of thousands of years, but they just don't go to war. Recently, this tense atmosphere has become more and more obvious, under the nest, there are eggs, if the two realms of righteousness and demon refining in Youzhou are opened, although the Ice Continent is in a couple, it may not be able to be spared.
Therefore, the investigation of foreign monks of this sect is becoming more and more strict.
The above information was analyzed and summarized by Ye Feng himself, and he had been traveling for half a year, although the purpose was to search for alchemy herbs, but he was exposed to it every day, and he obtained a lot of information.
Unexpectedly, Sitting Forget Peak has become the key to this battle of righteousness and demons.
The last thing he wants is to be on the cusp of the storm, but looking at this situation now, I don't know if it can be avoided.
But no matter what, improving one's strength was the only magic weapon to survive in the cultivation world, so Ye Feng's mood was even more anxious if he wanted to cultivate the elixir as soon as possible.
The most difficult thing now is the distance from the late stage to the Great Perfection, as long as you enter the realm of feathering. Then you can naturally protect yourself. Although there were many thoughts in his heart, on the surface, Ye Feng did not show any on his face.
At this time, he was dressed as an ordinary casual cultivator and walked into the inn that was not very inconspicuous. As soon as he entered, the shopkeeper ran over and saluted respectfully: "The little one sees the immortal master." ”
Although the Cold Ice Continent advocated joining the WTO, so that the mortals here had become accustomed to the existence of cultivators, making them not surprised by the various Dao methods, they still had great respect for the living immortals who had mastered all kinds of wonderful magical powers.
"Hmm. Ye Feng nodded, and said casually: "If you still have a room, prepare one for me." ”
"Yes, yes, but ...... It cannot be rented to an immortal master. Xiao'er scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
If a different cultivator encounters this situation, he will definitely be furious, how can they endure the contempt of mortals.
However, Ye Feng was naturally not the kind of shallow guy, there was no joy or anger on his face, he just asked lightly: "Why?"
Seeing that Ye Feng didn't get angry, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly nodded and introduced: "Immortal Master, you don't know, if there is a living immortal like you who usually come to live in our store, then we definitely can't ask for it, burn high incense, serve you properly, and don't charge a penny." ”
I can't see that the second boy in this shop is eloquent, and his sycophants are even more first-class, but Ye Feng has no time to listen to his ramblings, and frowned: "Let's talk about the point." ”
"Yes, yes. Only then did the shopkeeper tell the truth: "Immortal Master, that's the case, in a few days, the Cold Ice Continent will ask the other party to open the Fang City and allow foreign monks like you to enter it to exchange things." ”
"Open Fang City?"
Ye Feng was stunned, then overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, and finally figured out the whole story under the foaming narration of the shopkeeper.
It turned out that although the Cold Ice Continent was complacent, and even the alchemists were prepared, it was impossible for him to be self-sufficient just by using his sect and a few small faction families nearby, and it was impossible to completely cut off contact with the outside world.
Therefore, every ten years, the Cold Ice Continent was opened to the outside world once every ten years, and a temporary fang market was set up, allowing cultivators from outside to come in and trade with the sect.
And take advantage of this opportunity to buy and store what the faction needs.
And the opening time of this special square market is only three days, and it happens to be tomorrow.
"I see!" Ye Feng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the news, he was worried about how to enter the Cold Ice Continent, such a good opportunity, naturally he would not let it slip away from his hand in vain.
Dian Xiaoer was still shaking his head and explaining, for him as a mortal, being able to talk to a cultivator was a great immortal blessing, of course, he had to take the opportunity to say more.
"As far as I know, the living immortals of the Cold Ice Continent don't like immortal masters from other places, so although this Fang City is open to the outside world, all foreign immortal masters must go to the inn they opened to check in. ”
In the middle of the town, there is an inn.
It is a five-story building, and although it is a wooden structure, it also looks imposing.
"Ask the Immortal Tower"
Ye Feng stood in front of the building, and after taking a look, he entered the pavilion. This place is not opened by ordinary mortals, but the industry of Hanshan Gate, and in normal times, most of them are abandoned, and only when the square market is held once every ten years, it is used to receive foreign monks.
According to what Xiao Er said, if you want to enter the Ice Continent, you must first come here to stay and register.
Ye Feng swept it with his divine sense, and sure enough, he found that nine out of ten monks in the entire town were concentrated here, since there were normal channels to enter the mountain, Ye Feng naturally would not have more branches, and honestly walked like "asking the immortal building".
At this time, his cultivation of Yuan Force was maintained in the early stage of Nirvana, and everything in the cultivation world was about strength, if it was hidden too low, it would be easy to hit a wall everywhere when he acted, of course, if he did not do the slightest restraint, it would be easy to attract attention in the later stage of Nirvana. Therefore, after thinking about it, Ye Feng maintained his mana at the level of Nirvana just now.
"Senpai!"
Ye Feng had just come to the door, and a young man in white came up to greet him, about in his early twenties, and his cultivation was only about the early stage of the Secret Collection.
If it were another sect, this kind of secular industry would definitely be handed over to the outer disciples to take charge of, but the Cold Ice Continent paid attention to entering the WTO, so the work of serving tea and pouring water and serving people was all handled by the low-level disciples of the sect, which was also a kind of cultivation that could remove the demons in the heart.
Seeing that the person who received him was actually a cultivator, Ye Feng couldn't help but be stunned, but the young man seemed to be accustomed to seeing this kind of expression from his fellow outsiders, and there was no slightest discoloration on his face, and he said with a little respect: "Are the seniors also here to participate in the trade fair?"
"Yes. Ye Feng nodded.
"In that case, please come with me. ”
The young man introduced Ye Feng into the inn, where it was inconvenient to use his divine sense, but at a glance, from the way everyone was dressed, he could easily tell that all of them were cultivators.
In addition to casual cultivation, there are actually many sect disciples.
Seeing this scene, Ye Feng was not shocked or overjoyed, it seemed that what the pharmacy owner in Nafang City said was true, although the Cold Ice Continent was located in the extreme north. However, the products are abundant, especially some spiritual herbs and strange medicines that have become extinct outside, but they occasionally appear here, so the temporary market that opens every ten years can always attract many cultivators who come from afar.
The young man led Ye Feng to the counter.
Ye Feng raised his head, this was an old man about seventy or so, with a fat body.
With his eyes slightly closed, he looked like he was asleep and woke up.
The moment his eyes opened, Ye Feng actually had a feeling that his whole body was secretly being seen clean, and he couldn't help but be shocked, but then he secretly sneered, obviously, this person has a special practice, and on the surface he is the shopkeeper of the inn, but in fact, he is checking whether there are any bad intentions among the foreign monks. It's a pity that with his mid-Nirvana cultivators one by one, how could he find doubts from his own mind, Ye Feng's divine sense, but far superior to the monks of the same level, although it can't be said that water and fire are inviolable, oil and salt are not in, but at least the person in front of him, another ten years of cultivation will not be a threat to him.
As for seeing through his own cultivation and cultivation, Ye Feng was even more worried, the secret method of qi accumulation in the Nine Heavens Xuangong, unless it was an old monster in the Nirvana stage, others would not even think about it.
After the shopkeeper-looking old man's divine sense swept over Ye Feng's body, he didn't find anything suspicious, and a kind smile appeared on his face: "Contemptible Cold Ice Continent Liu Hanming, I don't know where this Daoist friend comes from?"
"In the lower Ye Feng, a loose cultivation is only, long admired the reputation of the Gui faction trade fair, so ......" Ye Feng's words are half refined and half false, and the other party is naturally impossible to investigate, said a few words of welcome in his mouth, and handed a jade plate to Ye Feng's hand: "This thing is a token of this door, Taoist friends must not lose it, and tomorrow, our sect naturally has special disciples to lead all fellow Taoists into the mountain, as for today, Taoist friends can go around the vicinity, or they can rest in this store, master and nephew, take this Taoist friend down." ”
"Yes!" the young man in white saluted, then turned around: "Senior, please." ”
"It's hard work!"
As a Nirvana stage cultivator, the guest room where Ye Feng lived was also very different, it was actually a separate small courtyard, although the area was not large, but the environment was very quiet.
The room was simply furnished, but it was neat and bright, Ye Feng had a satisfied smile on his face, and after sending away his disciples from the Ice Continent, he closed the door of the room.
Then without saying a word, he released his divine sense, and searched the entire courtyard, including the room, and found nothing, Ye Feng's expression, and then he relaxed.
Fortunately, the other party didn't do anything, it seems that the Cold Ice Continent is not stupid, although he is suspicious of foreign monks, but he is also unwilling to do such a taboo thing.
In fact, if it weren't for this extraordinary period, Ye Feng would not be willing to be so cautious, originally, he didn't have any bad intentions towards the Cold Ice Continent, he just wanted to use Yuan Shi to buy the Ten Thousand Year Cold Spirit Grass.
I don't know why, since he came to the Ice Continent, Ye Feng has always been a little uneasy, it seems that this trip will encounter some serious changes, but he himself can't tell where this worry comes from...... Since he is a cultivator, it is naturally impossible not to believe in ghosts and gods, and for this omen, Ye Feng does not dare to take a leisurely look.
If it weren't for the fact that there was really no news of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Spirit Grass elsewhere, Ye Feng would definitely have turned around and left a long time ago, and with his character of not getting up early, he would naturally not put himself in a dangerous place. However, now you can't just walk away, the Breaking Rank Pill is no coincidence, it lacks such blind accessories, if you want to improve the realm rapidly, you have to take this risk. Ye Feng had no choice, so he could only be as careful as possible in all aspects.
