In other words, Bai Zhimo was asked by Old Man Huo about the path he was going to take, but Bai Zhimo suddenly thought of the purpose of his cultivation-

He started cultivating just because he wanted to live, to live longer.

After his parents lost his news, Bai Zhimo could only rely on the blood crystals they left behind to survive.

But he knows the truth of sitting and eating the sky, these blood crystals will definitely be used up one day, and if he wants to live longer, he must rely on his own strength to obtain blood crystals.

There is no way to survive if there are not enough blood crystals in this world, and if there is not enough strength, there is no way to obtain enough blood crystals.

If you want to live a long time, you must cultivate in order to gain strong strength.

So Bai Zhimo absorbed the blood crystal, cultivated the blood qi, practiced martial arts, went out of the city to hunt the divine blood creatures, and captured the blood crystal.

However, he killed the lowest slugs, and the blood crystals he obtained were pitiful.

But after seeing his neighbor Luo Dong, his embarrassment and decadence at the last moment of his life, Bai Zhimo's desire to become stronger in cultivation became stronger and stronger, he must become strong, and his future must not be like that.

Later, after experiencing a series of things, Bai Zhimo became more and more eager for power and became stronger.

If he takes the path of pure blood kitchen, as Old Man Huo said, he can obtain a large amount of blood crystals, but this is not his original intention at all, he has always regarded blood kitchen as his side business.

Of course, there is another reason -

Old man Huo has already confirmed with his own personal experience that the path of blood kitchen is not so beautiful, otherwise his old man would not have fallen into this field today.

Although Old Man Huo's encounter was accidental, and even his encounter was only a special case among the many blood chefs, the vast majority of blood chefs were still able to spend their lives happily.

However, even if it is only a special case, it still exists.

According to Old Man Huo, he had a sixth-order follower before, and he might even have more followers, but he was still reduced to the current step.

This has to be said that the strength that does not belong to oneself has such and such limitations after all.

If Old Man Huo had the strength of a sixth-order king back then, maybe he would be in a different situation now.

Only the strength that is truly in your own hands is the most reliable and reliable.

So, Bai Zhimo made a choice, and at the same time, he also had a clear understanding of his future path, and when he encountered similar things in the future, he also knew how to choose.

"It seems that you have seen your future path clearly!" Old man Huo couldn't help but nod when he saw Bai Zhimo's determined gaze.

"Thank you for your advice!" Bai Zhimo said in a respectful voice.

If it weren't for Old Man Huo's suggestion, Bai Zhimo might be able to think about this problem clearly, but he didn't know how many detours he would have to take and how much time he would have to waste.

"Even without me, you'll find your way, but it may take some time. ”

"You have embarked on a different path from mine, I don't know whether it's right or wrong, but I know that your future must be full of hardships and dangers, I hope you can go further!"

Sensing the teacher's ardent hope for him, Bai Zhimo couldn't help but nod heavily, indicating that he would definitely go on firmly.

"Although you have chosen the path of martial arts, I still hope that you don't let go of the way of the blood kitchen, there are thousands of ways in the world, different paths lead to the same end, supplemented by the way of the blood kitchen, or it can confirm your path of martial arts. ”

"Yes, thank you for the teacher's advice, the apprentice remembers, the apprentice must practice the way of blood cooking. ”

"You're going to the Extreme Frozen Cave right away, and I don't have anything to give you, it's just that getting an Frozen Finger in the early years looks pretty good, I hope it can help you a little!"

Frozen Finger?

It seems to be the name of a martial art, and the teacher is going to teach himself martial arts?

After Old Man Huo finished speaking, he bent down and groped under the table for a moment, then took out a small package from under the table and put it on the table.

The package touched the tabletop with a dull crashing sound that seemed to carry a bit of weight.

Bai Zhimo couldn't help but stare at him, it seemed that something was wrong!

Shouldn't the martial arts cheats be a book? This package doesn't look like a book, is this martial art engraved on a wooden board or stone slab?

There was no need to speculate in vain, Old Man Huo opened the package under his gaze-

The things inside are indeed not books, and of course they are not wooden boards and stone slabs, even if Bai Zhimo is killed, he can't think of this thing.

There were a bunch of woodcut figurines in this package, each of which was about three inches tall, and there were more than a dozen of them at a cursory glance.

"Eighteen Frozen Fingers are here, you take it back and take a good look, you must be able to gain something!"

Bai Zhimo stared, looked at his teacher, looked at the pile of villain carvings on the table, and looked at Old Man Huo, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, never expected that it would be such a situation.

It was the first time he had seen a martial art with carving as a carrier, let alone seeing it, he didn't even think that martial arts could be recorded in this way.

"Also, this is for you too!"

Bai Zhimo hadn't come back to his senses, but Old Man Huo said to him again, and he didn't know when there was an extra knife in his hand.

The knife was four or five inches long, in the shape of a half-crescent, without a handle, and the whole was a deep black, with only a hint of silvery-white cold light on the edge of the crescent moon.

What is such a strange knife for? Flying knives, hidden weapons, or just crafts?

"This is a carving knife I used in my early years, sharpened from a whole piece of 10,000-year-old iron mother, and now I don't need it, so I will pass it on to you!"

Graver?

Bai Zhimo blinked, looked at the teacher and looked at the knife, it was really impossible to show how could this be a carving knife, it didn't even have a handle, wasn't it afraid of scratching his fingers when carving?

Bai Zhimo is still short-sighted, otherwise his attention will not be on these trivial matters, but on the material of this carving knife.

The 10,000-year-old iron mother is said to be the source of 10,000 iron, and if there is a piece of 10,000-year-old iron mother, as long as time permits, a complete vein of refined iron can be gradually formed.

It is said that only a vein of refined iron with reserves of more than 100 billion yuan can give birth to a small piece of 10,000-year-old iron mother.

The 10,000-year-old iron mother has no other characteristics, only one characteristic, that is, hard, extremely hard.

Even a sixth-order king couldn't destroy it, so Old Man Huo said that his carving knife was sharpened, not forged.

"When will you be able to carve such a set of puppet carvings, even if your frozen fingers are practiced, and Qionghua can be regarded as an official entry!"

Qionghua?

Bai Zhimo didn't expect to suddenly hear Qionghua's name again, what does this carving have to do with Qionghua?

But after thinking about it carefully, he figured out the key to it, Qionghua wants to see the texture of things, and looking at the texture is an important part of carving.

"I've already told you what to say, as for what to do next, it's completely up to you, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come to me at any time!"

"Well, teacher, I know!" Bai Zhimo nodded in response.

"If you don't have anything else, you can go, the old man is old now, and he will be tired after a little activity, I want to rest for a while!" After the old man Huo explained the matter, he urged Bai Zhimo to leave.

Bai Zhimo received a satisfactory answer from the teacher, even far exceeding expectations, and he was naturally happy in his heart.

"Yes, I hope you have a good rest, teacher, and retire!"

Bai Zhimo turned around and walked out of Old Man Huo's courtyard, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart-

The teacher had nothing to say to himself, he used all the good things for himself, and he did everything he could, but he never chatted with himself, and he never came into contact with himself when he was fine.

This made Bai Zhimo always feel that there was a gap between himself and the teacher.

Bai Zhimo quickly put away his careful thoughts, he was going to go to the library to have a look now, he had been hot for that place for a long time, and today he finally got his wish.

When Bai Zhimo came to the door of the library pavilion, he found that a little servant in Tsing Yi took the initiative to greet him, and he said respectfully,

"But Bai Gongzi in person?"

"In the white stop ink, you can't be called a son!"

Bai Zhimo didn't know what kind of battle this was, and he showed his identity very regularly.

The smile on the face of the little servant in Tsing Yi became more and more respectful,

"Just now, someone from the young city lord's side ordered that Bai Gongzi might come to the library pavilion in a while, and let the villain wait for Bai Gongzi here!"

Young City Lord?

Bai Zhimo raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Bai Jiandong to make a quick move, how long did he leave him now, and he actually did this matter immediately, it seems that he attaches great importance to himself!

He seemed to have guessed that he would definitely come to the library!

"Oh, I see, that's really hard for you!"

"No, no, no, it is the honor of the villain to be able to serve Bai Gongzi, little Wang Xiaoliu, Bai Gongzi, you can call the little 'Little Liu'!" said the little servant in Tsing Yi with a respectful smile on his face.

"Uh, Little Liu, will we be able to enter the Library Pavilion now?"

"Ah, of course, of course, Bai Gongzi, please come with the little one!" Wang Xiaoliu respectfully led with one hand and said to Bai Zhimo.

Bai Zhimo followed Wang Xiaoliu into the library pavilion, but on the way, he met many other people, and they all cast puzzled glances at Bai Zhimo.

Wang Xiaoliu and they know each other, although they are just the servants of the library pavilion, they have always been business-like, and they usually don't see him being kind to anyone!

He was treating a person so respectfully now, and he was still a young man, and he didn't have a strong aura on his body, and he seemed to be just a low-level sequencer.

They couldn't help but feel a little curious about the identity of this young man.

Bai Zhimo noticed the gaze of the people around him, and felt a little strange in his heart, after all, this was the first time he was so 'in the limelight', and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Bai Gongzi, I don't know what kind of information you want to consult?" Wang Xiaoliu's voice suddenly sounded in Bai Zhimo's ears, which made Bai Zhimo's embarrassment subside slightly.

"Ah, I want to see the geography first!"

Bai Zhimo had already thought about the information he wanted to consult, and what he wanted to know most was really not about the Extreme Frozen Cold Cave, but about the world he lived in.

"Geography?"

Wang Xiaoliu muttered, he didn't seem to expect Bai Zhimo to give such an answer! But he immediately reacted, and said to Bai Zhimo with one hand,

"Bai Gongzi, please come with me!"

Wang Xiaoliu led Bai Zhimo to a huge bookshelf,

"Bai Gongzi, this row of bookshelves is full of introductions to geographic information, including surrounding maps, local chronicles, travel notes of predecessors, and exploration strategies for various dangerous places, what you want should be found here!"

"Oh, thank you so much!"

Bai Zhimo couldn't help but look along the bookshelf, and he saw "Detailed Explanation of the Map of Jingbian Swamp", "Minutes of Black Mist Swamp Exploration", and "The Exquisite Forces of Yunmengze Cities......

Bai Zhimo's eyes couldn't help but shine, this is what he wants!

"Yes, that's what I want, Little Liu, you can go and get busy with your business first, I may be going to stay in this place for a while!"

Bai Zhimo noticed that Wang Xiaoliu was staying by his side, so he said to him.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, the little one doesn't have anything else to do, so it's better to follow Bai Gongzi, so that you can directly order the little one if you have anything. ”

"That's okay, whatever you want, if you get bored at any time, you can just go about your own business, don't worry about me!"

Bai Zhimo smiled and didn't stop Wang Xiaoliu, he estimated that he would stay here for a long time, and after a long time, he would naturally retreat.

So, Bai Zhimo didn't care about Wang Xiaoliu, but focused his attention on the bookshelf.

This bookshelf has thirteen floors, and it is five or six meters long, and there are probably thousands of books on this shelf, which is estimated to make him look good for a long time, but when Bai Zhimo digests these books, he should have a basic understanding of this world.

Bai Zhimo first took a copy of "Yunmengze Geographical Overview", he knew that Lingbo City was within the scope of Yunmengze, but he knew very little about Yunmengze.

Although he got some words from Wang Fatzi in the future, he didn't know the detailed information.

Turning the first page, Bai Zhimo gradually immersed himself, the book is very detailed, and there is even a sketch of the characteristics of Yun Mengze and the surrounding landforms.

Because it was the first time to read it, and because he had little understanding of the surrounding geographical environment, Bai Zhimo had a hard time reading, and it took him more than half an hour to finish reading this book.

Bai Zhimo closed the book and let out a long breath, he had grown so big, and finally had a clearer understanding of the world around him.

Yunmengze, as the name suggests, is a huge water basin with a radius of thousands of miles, and this water basin is not stagnant water, but a reservoir lake of a huge river, this river is called Jing'an River.

There are three lake swamps developed around Yunmengze, and Jingbian Swamp is the largest of them, and even the smallest Menglong Swamp is five times the area and three times the second largest Yunfeng Swamp.

Moreover, the Jingbian swamp is blessed, and there is a huge rooting boulder in the center of the swamp, which has become the foundation of Lingbo City.

The Jingbian Swamp has become a barrier for Limbo City, but on the one hand, it has also become an obstacle to its development.

The other two swamps are just two pieces of mud, which do not have the foundation for building a city at all, but they have become a paradise for the survival of god-blood creatures, and an excellent place for sequencers to obtain blood crystals.

The Jingbian Swamp is more of a hunting ground for the Limbo City sequencers, because the Jingbian Swamp is too big, and there is no place to settle down at all except for Limbo City, and Limbo City is in the central area of the swamp, and the distance is quite not close.

There are very few god-blood creatures in the edge of the swamp, but in the area around Lingbo City, the powerful god-blood creatures have been cleaned up by the City Lord's Mansion, which is suitable for the sequencer to hunt.

The Yunmengze area contains six royal cities, two of which are Limbo City and Scaly Light City.

That's probably all there is in this book, Bai Zhimo put the book back in its place, and picked up another one, which was still about Yun Mengze.

However, after having a certain understanding, he read the book a lot faster, and after reading this one, he changed to another one.

Bai Zhimo is like a mouse in a rice barn, like a hungry person absorbing the knowledge in the book.

In fact, when he saw the twentieth book, Bai Zhimo had already found that most of the content in it was the same, although the statements were slightly different, but they were basically the same.

Bai Zhimo already had a more detailed understanding of Yun Mengze, and he also had a comprehensive understanding of the Jingbian Swamp where Lingbo City was located.

And unconsciously, it was already dark, he looked around, and was surprised to find that Wang Xiaoliu was not far behind him.

As if noticing that Bai Zhimo had finished reading, Wang Xiaoliu immediately walked up and said respectfully,

"Bai Gongzi, do you have any orders?"

"Well, I'm really bothering you today, it's not early now, otherwise I'll get here today!"

Bai Zhimo was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that he would watch it for so long, and Wang Xiaoliu had really been waiting for him all the time.

"Okay, then Bai Gongzi, go slowly!"

Wang Xiaoliu said with a respectful smile on his face, not showing any dissatisfaction.

Bai Zhimo said goodbye to Wang Xiaoer, first went to the dining room to fill his stomach, and then returned to his small courtyard.

As soon as he pushed the door, Bai Zhimo found that the atmosphere in the room was slightly strange, his heart moved, and he looked towards his bed, and sure enough-

He had a fat carp on his bed, a golden carp with stuffed claws.

Little Ghost, why is it here again!

Is it also for the sake of becoming a blood chef himself?

"You're lucky, I didn't expect you to succeed, how about it? It's a good taste to be a blood chef, right?"

"You're definitely not here to congratulate me, are you?"

Bai Zhimo's tone was a little cold, this dead fish was sent by Ye Weikun to monitor him, with his current status as a blood chef as a guarantee, presumably Ye Weikun would not dare to do anything to him at will, so there was no need for him to flatter it.

"Don't be so cold, we are all doing things for our masters! The master already knows about you! He has high hopes for you!"

Bai Zhimo frowned, Ye Weikun already knew about his situation? No need to ask, it must have been told by this dead fat fish, so it had been to Ye Weikun during this time?

How does it get in and out of town?

"Then I don't know what the teacher commands?"

Bai Zhimo suppressed the doubts in his heart, but he was more concerned about Ye Weikun's attitude towards him, but he hadn't forgotten that Ye Weikun had a back hand on him!

"The master doesn't have any instructions, but I'm a subordinate to advise you a few words, what you do The master doesn't care, and even the better you develop, the happier the master will be, but I hope you don't forget the conditions you promised the master!"

[Note] The author Jun studied geology, so now show off my professional knowledge a little (manual tsundere)——

Yunmengze is set as a lake on the edge of a river (similar to Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake on the Yangtze River), and Jingbian Marsh is a lake swamp formed by the lake's shore during the flood season, with silt underneath and only some herbaceous plants or low shrubs.

As for Limbo City, it is built on a piece of bedrock formed by a magma intrusion.
