Chapter 89: Snow Search
Looking at the two jade bottles that Cheng Xing took out at once, their texture was extraordinary and exquisitely carved, it didn't look like ordinary people could afford to use it, and one of them also had a little snowflake, which made the old man enter the state in an instant.
"I don't know the name of the little friend, the old man's surname is Ming, if Your Excellency doesn't dislike it, just call me Lao Ming." The old man said politely to Cheng Xing.
Cheng Xingpi replied with a smile: "Ming Lao is polite, in the next Cheng Xing, please also ask Ming Lao to palm." β
After a polite time, the old man carefully poured the pills on a jade plate, and each pill made the shock on the old man's face even stronger, especially after seeing the two Qi Gathering Scatters, he even exclaimed: "With such a high-quality Qi Gathering Powder, could it be that Your Excellency is a six-grade alchemist?" β
Looking at the old man in front of him with a look of a ghost, you must know that at his age, he has only reached the peak of the fifth grade, but the young man in front of him is able to take out so many five-grade pills at one time, and it is likely that he is an alchemist.
Cheng Xing just kept smiling and said, "Hehe, is this important?" β
Ming Lao knew very well the meaning of Cheng Xing's words, so he smiled awkwardly and hurriedly avoided this question: "Is Your Excellency going to auction them all?" Later, there happened to be a special auction of pills, and it hasn't started yet. β
Cheng Xing, who was already in a hurry to sell the pills, naturally would not miss this opportunity, nodded and said: "Naturally, the sooner the better, in addition, it is also troublesome that after the auction is completed, the money obtained will be used to purchase medicinal materials." β
After that, a list full of medicinal materials appeared on the table.
With the bright light, Ming Lao's palm picked up the paper, and when he saw that the medicinal materials on it suddenly looked up, his pupils had shrunk to the size of pinholes, and he muttered softly: "These are all the medicinal materials needed for the Qi Cultivation Pill, the Complex Body Pill, the Longli Pill and other five-grade pills, this person must be a high-level alchemist." β
Looking at the young man who was less than twenty in front of him, Ming Lao took a deep breath, his attitude became more respectful, and he said with some difficulty: "Mr. Cheng, this extremely cold earth vine and ice crystal flower, the old man has only heard of it, but the auction house has never received these two medicinal materials in recent years. β
Originally, he had the attitude of giving it a try, so Cheng Xing waved his hand directly and said: "It doesn't matter, the rest of the medicinal materials are complete, just take it according to the above ratio." β
With Cheng Xing's words, Ming Lao's face softened a lot, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Okay, then please wait a while, I will arrange it and guarantee to sell it to you at a good price." β
Just as the old man was about to leave, Cheng Xing suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Ming Lao, does the auction house have space to sell ships?" β
Hearing Cheng Xing's inquiry, Ming Lao took a few steps back and came to the front and introduced: "This object is naturally available, there are nine levels in total, I don't know which level Xiaoyou wants to buy?" β
After some introduction, Cheng Xing casually threw out a low-level fighting skill from his backpack, and then Ming Lao went out with his things.
"I almost forgot, if there is no space ship in this space wormhole, the flight speed will be much slower, and if there is a space turbulence at random, I am afraid that it will be attracted to it." Cheng Xing stroked his forehead helplessly, and when the medicinal materials arrived, he could enter the spatial wormhole, and the later he arrived, the more complicated the situation would be.
While waiting, Cheng Xing clicked on the map, looked at the terrain above, and became familiar with it as much as possible, so as not to panic and go in the wrong direction in case of emergencies.
Cheng Xing didn't have much interest in the items in the auction house now, so he didn't leave the room.
A few hours later, Ming Lao entered the room with a smile on his face, and said to Cheng Xing happily with the jade tray in his hand: "Mr. Cheng, the old man lives up to expectations, all the items add up to nearly 20 million in total, and after deducting the amount of medicinal materials purchased and the space ship, the remaining five million are in this crystal card." β
Cheng Xing looked at a small boat in the tray that shone with silver light revealing the power of space, and a quaint ring, and also arched his hand and said, "Thank you to Ming Lao." β
"Xiaoyou is too polite, now you are already a VIP of our Heavenly Auction House, if you still need to auction items in the future, just look for Lao Yu, Lao Yu promises to handle it properly for Xiaoyou." Ming Lao sent the tray to Cheng Xing, and looked at the young God of Wealth with a smile, the patron who was able to auction so many treasures at one time naturally had to be served.
Cheng Xing just waved his hand slightly, and all the items in the tray were put away, and after leaving a sentence, his figure disappeared suddenly: "Hehe, the kid still has important things to do, so he will leave first." β
Out of the auction house, Cheng Xing looked at the path displayed on the screen in front of him, and went straight to the space wormhole according to the map.
I saw that in the huge square, a huge black hole hung in the air, and the terrifying spatial power was released from time to time around it, maintaining stability in the midst of destruction and riots, and a little silver light flashed, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.
Although it is not the first time to see the space wormhole, Cheng Xing's heart will inevitably fluctuate, the last time he entered directly by a flying ship, but this time he was alone, the two situations are completely different, if an accident occurs inside, the strength of the big fighter can't even resist the most basic spatial turbulence.
Feeling the huge gap, Cheng Xing's heart immediately turned horizontal, and the purple cloud wings suddenly appeared, and his body turned into a purple light and shot towards the wormhole.
Inside, the space ship was activated, and it disappeared into the blackness.
......
At the same time, Yushamen and the Xuanbing Alliance are all lively scenes, this level of intelligence, no party can enjoy it exclusively, it may only be known in advance for ten days and half a month, after all, the intelligence network formed by years of painstaking management is not a decoration.
Although this far north is now a frozen ground, thousands of years ago, it was thriving and indistinguishable from the rest of the continent.
This comfortable environment would continue until a great war broke out that affected several races.
In the end, several Dou Emperors blew themselves up as the Ice Emperor, ending the entire war completely, and at the same time creating a cold snow field in the far north that does not melt all year round, and as the environment became harsh, people gradually began to stay away from this place.
And the ancient ruins unearthed this time are only a very small part of this great war, and more are buried under the thick frozen soil, quietly waiting for the day when the snow will completely melt.
......
The bleak north wind was blowing all the time, carving wantonly on the snow several feet deep, and the path of the wind changed as the terrain undulated.
A figure dressed in a white robe was gliding quickly on the snow, seemingly unaffected by this extreme cold wind.
"That's enough, the area on the map looks small, but at this point, actually?"
Cheng Xing had a simple sled made by himself tied to his feet, he really couldn't stand one step at a time, and he would fall into the situation of an ice cave at every turn, so he simply did it himself, relying on this sled, coupled with the blessing of his body, the speed was not slower than that on the flat ground.
Three months ago, Cheng Xing set off from Xuexuan Fortress and traveled all the way to the east, spanning more than 100 miles to this snowfield, but he didn't expect this area to be an endless plain.
Looking at the small screen and seeing nothing, Cheng Xing couldn't help but be a little depressed and said: "It's been a few months, except for snow is snow, I can't even see a mountain, let alone the vine, presumably this extremely cold vine won't appear in this area." β
Wrap the white robe tightly, although there is a screen ring to resist the cold wind for yourself, but this severe cold needs to be resisted by yourself, in this ice and snow, Cheng Xing has developed the habit of careful calculation with every trace of fighting spirit, and every day when he sneaks to the bottom of his fighting spirit is to dig a snow nest and re-cultivate.
Although he didn't even see the shadow of the Extreme Cold Earth Vine and the Ice Crystal Flower in the past three months, his own strength had already reached the three-star Great Dou Division, and it was not in vain.
"The last time I met my fellow disciple was a month ago, and I can't even see a single figure here, it's really torture." Cheng Xing muttered to himself, only the cold wind blowing in his ears, and he looked around at the white expanse and was not lonely.
In order to maintain his mentality, Cheng Xing can only talk to himself every day, and chat with the system by the way.
[Di, the search degree in this region has reached 98%, and it is expected that it will take four days to complete all searches.] γ
was originally a mechanical and boring broadcast, but now Cheng Xing has become particularly pleasant.
Due to the strength of the Great Dou Master, the maximum range of the current regional search can only be about three hundred zhang, and it cannot be maintained for too long, so Cheng Xing can only conduct a carpet search, and when he encounters an area where it is obviously impossible to have medicinal materials, he will directly skip it.
Watching the area shown on the map get smaller and smaller, I felt an indescribable sense of pleasure in my heart.
"This snowfield is over, and the next area is Fengtianling." Cheng Xing looked at another blue area less than dozens of kilometers away from the snowfield, and lifted his spirits slightly, planning to complete the retrieval of this area before sunset.
[Five strong men were detected approaching at high speed...]
Just when Cheng Xing was about to go east in one breath to complete the retrieval, the sudden reminder issued by the system made Cheng Xing a little confused.
"From the east? Could it be someone from the Xuanbing Alliance? β
Cheng Xing didn't have time to think about this, he didn't have the capital to gamble now, so he quickly put the wooden sleigh under his feet back into his backpack, wrapped his white robe, and his body directly plunged into the thick layer of snow, and disappeared in this vast land in an instant.
After a while, five figures flew from the edge of the sky.
Cheng Xing, who was hiding under the snow, held his breath and stared at the small screen with his eyes.
I saw five figures in light blue robes staying in the air only more than a hundred zhang away from Cheng Xing.
"The intelligence is right." The man standing in the middle looked at the vast snowfield and asked in a gloomy tone.
The four men next to him pulled out a slender object that resembled a stick at the same time and thrust it into the snow below.
As four stick-like things were inserted into the snow layer, forming a square area, several people's handprints quickly knotted, and the thick snow layer began to become transparent, and the bottom layer could be faintly seen.
"Return to the young master, confirm that it is correct." The four of them replied with a respectful salute.
Cheng Xing looked at the palace-like buildings under the thick layer of snow, and a thought suddenly exploded in his mind: Could this be the ancient ruins that Uncle Shi said?
"No wonder so many disciples searched and couldn't find it, who would have thought that this palace would be hidden under a thick snowfield." Cheng Xing looked at the information that had been obtained without any effort, and recalled the fellow brothers he had met before, they were only a broken leg, and the area he was responsible for was only less than one-third of them.
"But these people are wearing the robes of the Xuanbing Alliance, it looks like their large army should be nearby, I'd better be careful." Cheng Xing tried his best to keep his breath low, and his breath already had a system to help him shield himself perfectly, as long as he didn't make any noise, it was difficult to find out if he was hiding in this snowy layer.
"Young master, do you want to report the situation here immediately?" An old voice reminded from the side.
And this sentence seemed to cause dissatisfaction, and a loud slap resounded through the snowfield.
Cheng Xing watched this scene and almost lost his voice.
"System, what is the origin of these people?" Cheng Xing smiled secretly, and immediately mobilized the system to inquire about the situation of the five people.
γDingγ
[Fang Yi, the two-star light attribute Dou King, is the son of Fang Jue, the current deputy leader of the Xuanbing Alliance, and is known as the leader of the youngest generation of the Xuanbing Alliance, reaching the level of the Dou King at the age of twenty-one. γ
[The four elders of the Fang family, whose strength is between five-star and seven-star Dou King, the eldest and second are seven-star Dou Wang, and the third and fourth are five-star Dou Wang, all of which are rare light attributes, so they are called the four elders of the Fang family, and the four of them can resist the strong Dou Huang together, and they are Fang Yi's personal guards. γ
"No wonder, it turned out to be a son-in-law, and he even beat his own guards, tsk, what a grumpy." Cheng Xing is quite disdainful of this kind of wanton bullying of others, not to mention that the other party is still an old man who is loyal to him.
Soon, the five people in the sky had their next move.
I saw that the four elders of the Fang family, under the command of Fang Yi, pulled out the four rolling objects that had been inserted into the snow field, gathered together again, and formed a rectangle with an area of less than three zhang, and then inserted them into the snow.
After the four elders of the Fang family received that slap, they were silent, and all actions were under Fang Yi's command.
After the stick was inserted, the four of them descended and gathered around the edge of the rectangle, and the fighting energy in their bodies began to surge wildly, surging towards the long stick in front of them.
"What are they going to do?" Cheng Xing did not understand this kind of behavior.
The blood-red sunset shone on the snowy fields, making the land bright red.
Night fell quietly, and the four elders of the Fang family were still constantly pouring into the stick.
"Boom...."
Until the night was over, with a loud bang, a pillar of light rose into the sky, illuminating the sky that had just entered the night.
After the loud noise, the stick that was originally inserted in the snow field disappeared, and the aura of the four elders of the Fang family also obviously withered, as if it was caused by the consumption of too much fighting energy.
Cheng Xing looked at a glowing hole that appeared on the screen, the hole stretched downward, dozens of zhang deep, and the originally solid frozen soil below was now all gone.
"My God, it turns out that these four people have been preparing for so long, and they are opening the entrance." Cheng Xing only now understood why the four of them had been sitting on the snowfield.
However, just after the opening of this cave, Fang Yi made a move, sealed the mouth with his fighting energy, and then covered the snow again on it until the light was all covered, and the night sky returned to darkness after losing its light.
This series of operations made Cheng Xing confused, since he opened the passage, but did not go in, isn't this a waste of effort?
"Alright, four useless old things, you won't be able to open this thing for a while, let's come back in a few days."
Fang Yi's words with a little anger resounded in the sky, and at the same time shook Cheng Xing's heart.
Swallowing his saliva with difficulty, Cheng Xing watched the five streamers fly towards the east, without bringing his head back to the ground.
The five of them could not have imagined that there was a teenager who had been hiding in the snow and witnessed the whole process.
Although he watched them move away, he still waited for half an hour to make sure that a few people were far away, and then he rushed out of the snow.
With a white robe to ward off the cold, coupled with the fighting qi to protect the body, although he hibernated in the snow for several hours, Cheng Xing was not affected by the severe cold, but the fighting qi in his body was exhausted.
"Why didn't they go deeper, and instead left in a hurry?" Cheng Xing is extremely curious now, and he can already see the ruins below, but he gave up halfway.
