Chapter 183: The Bitter Cold Cave
Looking at Xiaohuo's sensible appearance, Su Qing smiled, touched Xiaohuo's head caressingly, and said, "Xiaohuo, then you will be wronged for a few days, and when we go out of Jifeng Heavenly Grotto, the boss will definitely let you eat enough."
"Thank you, boss, Xiaohuo knows, as long as Xiaohuo follows the boss, the boss will definitely take care of Xiaohuo sincerely, what kind of grievance is this" Xiaohuo slapped up again.
Su Qing was speechless for a moment.
The next day, Su Qing did not continue to look for the dry cold root, but chose to continue to go up the mountain.
Now, Su Qing also realized that in the case of having a small vase space, his means of resisting the severe cold were not comparable to other monks at all, as long as the aura in his small vase space was sufficient, he would definitely be able to climb to a height that even a foundation building period monk could not compare.
Moreover, Su Qing himself cultivated the Holy Fire Dragon Guarding Technique, and he could transform the spiritual energy into the true qi of the fire attribute at any time, in that case, even if the True Qi Gang Mask could not resist the harsher cold, once the Holy Fire Dragon Controlling Technique was cast to resist the cold, it would be enough to continue to hold on for a while.
Now, Su Qing did not continue to look for the withered cold roots at this height, but chose to continue to go up the mountain, on the one hand, to find more and better withered cold roots, but the other main reason was that Su Qing felt that the cold was a little too strange.
Because in other places in the Jifeng Heavenly Grottoes, if you fly to this height, although the temperature on the ground will change, the change will not be very large, and you can completely withstand it without using Gang Qi to protect your body.
But only this Tian Jifeng is very different from other places, Su Qing judged that there must be some reason for this. Su Qing just wanted to see if he could find out the reason now.
The higher the place, the more steep the mountain became, and in half a day, Su Qing climbed a height of more than 300 zhang.
Su Qing looked up, and now he was still about two hundred zhang away from the top of the mountain.
But at this time, the change in temperature also began to get bigger and bigger, according to the thickness of his True Qi Gang Shield, Su Qing judged that the temperature at this height was already as low as at least minus one hundred and twenty or thirty degrees.
With a temperature of one hundred and twenty degrees below zero, the extreme cold was unimaginable, and if Su Qing removed the True Qi Shield now, it was estimated that he would be frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant.
The withered roots of this plant, it seems that the colder it is, the more suitable it is to grow in conditions, and it has never been picked, and at this height, as long as there are cracks in the stones, there are almost no withered roots. And it is even thicker, with one, and even the thickness of an adult's thigh, reaching more than four meters long.
Of course, when digging this withered root, Su Qing also put in a lot of hard work, and he used a shaking cone to almost smash a mountain cliff.
Su Qing predicted that the withered cold roots he had picked now alone would at least be able to refine tens of thousands of Zhuji Dan.
Tens of thousands of foundation building pills, after the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Cultivators take it, if there is a half success rate, it means that there will be more than 5,000 Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Cultivators stepping into the ranks of the Foundation Building Period.
There are more than 5,000 foundation monks, which is a staggering number.
With the current Ling Mang Sect's three-rank kingdom, the major sects that rank first, all the foundation building period monks combined, there are only more than 600 foundation building period monks.
If these 10,000 Zhuji Pills were to be taken by the Qi cultivation period cultivators of the Ling Mang Sect, Su Qing felt terrible when he thought about it, and the strength of the Ling Mang Sect did not know how much it would increase.
That's the way it is, the monks of the foundation building period do not occupy much of the main combat power of the sect. The evaluation of the main combat power of a sect is still based on the monks of the Yudan period and the Yuan infant stage.
At the very least, a monk in the early stage of Yudan can deal with dozens or even hundreds of monks in the foundation building period. As for the monks of the foundation building period, in the face of the monks of the Yuan Infant stage, they are even more vulnerable than ants.
But after all, the monk's cultivation gradually rises from low to high.
The huge foundation of monks in the foundation building period will definitely create more monks in the Yudan period. And the number of monks in the Yudan stage is huge, and the number of monks in the Yuan Infant stage will be even more.
Su Qing believed that once there were five thousand foundation building period cultivators in the Ling Mang Sect now, it would not take many years, and there would be no sect in the kingdom that could match the Ling Mang Sect.
After picking so many withered cold roots, Su Qing didn't have much interest in collecting more withered cold roots, but put all his mind on finding the root cause of the extremely cold temperature.
Continue to climb to the top of the mountain to a height of forty or fifty zhang, at this time, the temperature changes more drastically, and it seems that with every step up, the temperature will drop several degrees.
At this time, the thickness of the True Qi Gang Hood had been thickened to the limit, and at this time, the True Qi Gang Hood's ability to block the cold seemed to have reached its limit, and it was no longer able to stop the invasion of the cold on the body.
Su Qing shuddered, quickly stopped, and unfolded the Holy Fire Dragon Technique to see if it could have a certain effect on keeping warm.
The true qi was running rapidly, and the flames formed in the dantian due to the cultivation of the Holy Fire Dragon Technique quickly emitted wisps of fire and spread towards all parts of the body.
This trick really worked, but in an instant, Su Qing's body felt a stream of heat flying in his body, and he immediately drove the cold away without a trace, and there were even some hot feelings.
Sure enough, it worked, and Su Qing was immediately overjoyed.
As long as the aura in the small vase space is sufficient, the Holy Fire Dragon Trick can be used indefinitely.
And now, although most of the aura in the small vase space has been consumed by Xiaohuo's transformation, there are still hundreds of thousands of spirit stones decomposed of the aura, even if the aura consumed by casting the Holy Fire Dragon Technique is very huge, these auras are enough for Su Qing to use for more than ten days in a row.
Without the threat of the cold, Su Qing sped up his climb up the mountain.
Climbing to a height of about 100 zhang from the top of the mountain, Su Qing suddenly felt that the more he climbed, the temperature was gradually warming.
Hmm, what's going on? Su Qing stopped and felt it, as if the source of the cold didn't seem to be on the top of the mountain, but on this halfway up the mountain.
Su Qing continued to go up the mountain, just to find the root of the cold, as for what was on the top of the mountain, Su Qing guessed that there would be some dry cold roots in addition to the stones, and he had no intention of continuing to go up. He slowed down the operation of the Holy Fire Dragon Technique slightly, sensing the direction of the cold attack.
Quickly determined the direction in which the cold was coming, and Su Qing followed the hillside to find it in that direction.
After walking for less than half an hour, at Su Qing's feet, a cave with a diameter of three zhang appeared, the cave seemed to have been smashed out by something, the entrance of the cave was facing up, with Su Qing's current eyesight, he could only see the depth of more than 20 zhang, and further down, it was black, and he couldn't see anything.
This cave is even more extremely cold, and he can feel that the invasive power of its cold has become violent, as if it is about to swallow everything, Su Qing just came to the entrance of the cave, and he felt a violent cold rushing towards him, almost immediately overturning Su Qing.
But in the face of this irresistible cold, Su Qing did not feel afraid, but was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
This hole, at first glance, was smashed out by something.
And being able to smash a bottomless hole in the incomparably hard mountain rock, and an object with such a cold attribute, is not a rare treasure from space, what else can it be?
Although Su Qing was still not sure what this treasure was, he had already expected it to be a treasure, so as long as there was a 1 in 10,000 chance, Su Qing would never give up.
Su Qing hurriedly sped up the Holy Flame Dragon Technique, expelled the cold that entered his body, circled around the cave, observed it carefully, and felt that there was no other threat to this cave except for the cold cold, so he decided to go down and explore.
Of course, in this cold environment, or any other creature beyond the primordial infancy, it is estimated that there is no possibility of survival.
Su Qing was about to take out the small spaceship and ride it down, when he suddenly thought that this cave was only three zhang in size, and although the spaceship was small, it was about two zhang, and it was a little inconvenient to enter this cave.
Moreover, I don't know anything about the situation in this cave, and if I go in blindly, I won't even have a chance to react if I encounter any danger.
After thinking about it, he first took out a medium-grade magic weapon flying sword, urged it casually, and flew towards the cave in a spinning way.
Who knows, just after a few breaths of the flying sword was urged, the flying sword suddenly lost control, and fell into the cave in free fall, and then, there was a sound of "choking", and the flying sword fell to the bottom of the cave.
Su Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the reason, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat in such a cold weather.
Only then did Su Qing think that the temperature in the cave was too low, and the true qi in the flying sword was condensed by the cold and frozen, and it could not function normally, so it made the flying sword lose control.
If he had sacrificed the spaceship directly just now and went down on the spaceship, the spaceship would inevitably have been frozen out of control. At this time, even if he was not frozen to death, he had already been thrown to death.
Knowing this reason, Su Qing suddenly lost his mind, and looked blankly at the inside of the cave, and his heart became up.
Su Qing knew that since the cold could freeze the true qi in the flying sword, if he went down, the true qi shield used to protect the body would inevitably be affected, and at that time, once the true qi shield was ineffective, then his holy fire dragon control technique would not work.
Standing at the entrance of the cave for a long time, he finally triumphed over timidity. Su Qing decided to try to go down.
Su Qing then took out two high-grade magic weapon flying swords, making them one foot long. He also increased the operation of the Holy Flame Dragon Technique, and injected the slightest heat into the body protection cover, and at this time, the body protection cover also changed color, faintly revealing a real red light.
At this time, Su Qing took out the mountain cone again, turned it into a meter long, and stepped on it.
Now Su Qing is only half-building the foundation cultivation, and he can't fly the imperial weapon yet.
But in the case of support, it is still possible to let the earthquake cone hold up his body.
Everything was ready, and Su Qing also wrapped the three magic weapons in a heat-filled True Qi Gang Cover to prevent the True Qi in them from being frozen and condensed.
Su Qing put his hands on a stone and urged the mountain cone to move, and the mountain cone slowly flew up and slid down the cave wall.
