Chapter 305: Northern Cold City
Northern Cold City
Xu Mu, who was dressed in thick animal skin clothes and beast boots, stepped on the road as clean as crystal, and walked forward step by step with the flow of people, his eyes kept looking around, just like an ordinary casual cultivation.
Pedestrians on the road, customers in the shops, occasionally someone would look at him, and soon withdraw his gaze.
In this world full of cultivators, there are all kinds of weirdos, although Xu Mu is slightly different from the locals' appearance, but he is not outstanding.
As he walked along the way, Xu Mu noticed that most of the houses here were made of ice, earth and stone, with the top mainly round arch, and there were few high-rise buildings.
"I guess it's to avoid snow accumulation!"
In this area, there is heavy snow every once in a while, and the snow can accumulate for an extreme period of time and only melt during certain seasons.
Although cultivators can use spells and formations to easily clear the snow and ice on the roof, it will consume energy after all, even if there are few and can save trouble, most people will still choose to save trouble.
Unless it is like the Northern Han Immortal Palace, there is no consumption of spirit stones, the formation is opened all the time, and there are a large number of people who can clear the snow.
In addition to the houses where they live, because of the environment, the people here usually wear thick fur coats, wrapped like zongzi, and only in the foundation building period will they be a little thinner.
This is also a strange place, the higher the cultivation, the less clothes.
In fact, cultivators in the foundation building period can already be able to avoid cold and heat, unless it is an extremely cold situation, the reason why there is a situation of wearing a fur coat, Xu Mu feels that habits should account for a large part.
In addition to that, there is also the meaning of just in case.
If the spiritual energy in the body is exhausted, or if you are seriously injured and have no clothes on your body, and you are frozen to death, then you will die too unjustly.
Therefore, no matter how high or low the cultivation is, basically you will wear a warm clothes, but there is a difference in how much.
The dress on Xu Mu's body was purchased by him on the road, using snow bear skin, which is common in the Northern Regions.
In addition to being the most common demon beast in the Northland, the snow bear is also the most commonly used means of transportation, similar to the cattle and horses in the Middle Regions.
Just beside Xu Mu, there were several huge white giant bears, pulling the carriage and slowly passing by.
After a long period of domestication, these snow bears have become very docile, basically do not hurt people, and even some ordinary people will domesticate.
After walking around, Xu Mu found an inn to live in, and the next period of time was to inquire everywhere for news, teahouses, restaurants, shops, auction houses, etc., Xu Mu almost turned around, with a steady stream of spirit stones, he soon met a large number of low-level monks.
With his cultivation and net worth, to make friends with low-level monks, it is really a dimensionality reduction blow.
With the help of the information obtained from various channels, in just over a month, his understanding of the Northern Regions and the Northern Han Immortal Palace has reached the level of the local elderly.
After feeling that it was almost the same, he began to contact the upper-level monks, although it took a lot of effort, but he had to have mental calculations and unintentionalities, he still quickly opened up the situation, got to know a lot of foundation building, and even the Jindan period.
After some inquiry, he received a lot of extremely useful information.
First up is the Sea of Mist!
In an area about 1,000 miles from the coast, there is a fog that covers the sky and the sun, and covers an unknown area, which is called the Sea of Mist.
It's not as imagined, the whole sea is foggy.
The other is that it is not uncommon to enter the fog to explore treasure hunting and collect resources, which has been started thousands of years ago.
A large number of cultivators have come in and out, summing up a lot of practical experience.
Two of them are the most important.
One is that the misty sea area will make people unable to distinguish the direction, which Xu Mu has known for a long time, what he doesn't know is that the cultivators in the Northern Region have already found a solution.
A small monster called the Mist Bird, which can find its way back after entering the Mist Sea.
In this way, cultivators will not be wandering around like headless flies, and their safety will be greatly improved.
It is also because of the appearance of the misty bird that the exploration of the misty sea is more numerous and more frequent.
Many rare treasures have been found, which has raised the overall level of the cultivators in the Northern Regions a lot.
The other is that there are many poisonous gases and alien spiritual qi in the Misty Sea Sea, and these two things, any of which are inhaled into the body by cultivators will bring great trouble.
And the cultivators in the Northern Regions also found a way to deal with it.
A kind of robe, called Yuan Liyi, can isolate harmful spiritual energy and poisonous gases, greatly reducing the chance of cultivators being in distress.
It can be said that with these two things, even if there is no Life Stone, Xu Mu can also try to find the Heavenly Pool of Creation.
I have to sigh that the creativity of cultivators is still quite strong.
"Whether you can find the Life Stone or not, you have to get both of these things!"
Originally, if he couldn't find the Life Stone, he would definitely give up, but now that he has a hope or two, he will definitely give it a try.
The maker of Yuan Liyi is the Northern Han Immortal Palace, as long as the spirit stone is produced, it can be bought at any time below the seventh order.
It is rumored that the first person to make Yuan Liyi was a loose cultivator, and it was later purchased by the Northern Han Immortal Palace and became the only one in the entire Northern Regions.
Xu Mu was not short of spirit stones, and directly purchased two pieces of sixth-order yuan clothes, if they were damaged, they could be replaced directly.
As for the misty bird, it was not bought, because the foggy bird could not survive in the nearby area, and the misty bird could not be bred in captivity, so if you wanted to buy it, you could only go to the area near the sea.
As long as it wasn't the kind of non-renewable treasure, it wasn't difficult to buy it with his ability, so he didn't pay attention to it.
"The next step is to enter the Northern Han Immortal Palace!"
Speaking of this, Xu Mu felt quite lucky, the Northern Han Immortal Palace just had a task, as long as it could be completed, he could enter the treasure house of the Northern Han Immortal Palace and choose a treasure at will.
"There should be news about it!"
Just as Xu Mu was thinking, a message came from the communication jade slip in his pocket, Xu Mu checked it with his divine thoughts, and immediately got a message.
"Xu Daoyou, there is news about the thousand-year-old snow lotus you want! Come to Xuemei Building! ”
Xu Mu's eyes lit up, and he immediately put away the communication jade slip and rushed towards the Xuemei Building in the message.
Xuemei Lou is a high-end restaurant in the Northern Cold City, usually only entertains cultivators above the foundation building period, in addition to providing basic drinks and entertainment, it will also hold some small exchange auctions, and it is still quite famous in the cultivation circle of the Northern Cold City.
"Lord Xu, you're here!"
As soon as he entered the hall, a servant who knew Xu Mu immediately stepped forward to receive him, and after Xu Mu said the room, he immediately brought him over.
The box opened, and there were already two cultivators sitting inside, an old man and a young girl.
Seeing Xu Mu come in, the girl grabbed the storage bag on her waist violently, like a frightened white rabbit.
