When we arrived at Yunyao Mountain, a group of people had been waiting for us, and all we saw were familiar faces.
This time I went to the Northern Wasteland to explore, which was related to the survival of Zhou Huishan.
Therefore, Yang, Gu, Jiang and Meng, who laid the foundation for the Zhou Hui Sect, naturally needed someone.
The Jiang family chose generals Wu Muqian and Lei Yinmu, Meng Yiwei from Meng Shanhe from Black Wind Mountain, Lin Bai from the Gu family, and Yang Shaoan from the Yang family.
There is also Pei Ning, who is from the Daoyin Sect; Gao Yuanyuan is from the Yunxia Sect, Lu Jiuyao is from Jiuyin Mountain, Qi Hongyun is from Guyang Sect, Zhu Shuang is from Tianhuo City, and Shi Qingshuang is from Shi Clan.
These people are all branches of the surviving Yuanying sects, and are now considered people from Zhou Huishan. But after all, the time was too short, so Jiang Xingchi went to ask various factions for their opinions and finally made a decision.
Anyway, in the past, I used all my strength to summon the Nascent Soul, but now I summon the Golden Pill, which means causing trouble and not allowing me to relax.
There are eleven golden elixirs in total, one more than the original ten, and Jiang Xingchi has one more person.
"It's hard for you, it's hard for Master too." Jing Situi had already been subdued by Jiang Xingchi, and he was defending Jiang Xingchi both inside and outside his words. He also stated the facts, "The Cheng family also wanted to go, but Master took pity on their family and said I will definitely support Cheng Keshui as the leader of Qiaoshan, and we won’t let them leave until Nascent Soul is born.”
Jing Situi kept sighing, "Master's benevolence and righteousness are missed, and Cheng Keshui was moved to tears."
"The people of Qiaoshan are thinking of the past together. Why don't we remember the past? Why don't you remember the past of Jiuzhe Mountain?" Jiuyinshan Lu Jiuyao said sadly.
The Yuanying of Jiuyin Mountain did not die, but it also split into a branch. Now Lu Jiuyao is in charge of Dumu Mountain.
"There is no one from the Tianyan Sword Sect, no one from the Hehuan Sect, Qingxin Xuanmen, and Xuyun Sect. The master even specially sent two people, including his own disciples!" Jing Si Tui kept sighing, " Several deceased Yuan Ying seniors , they have all been taken care of, and blessed places have been allocated to the younger generations. This time, their descendants are not going to go. It is related to the survival of our Zhouhui sect, so everyone should bear with it. "< br>
As soon as Lu Jiuyao said this, before he could say anything, he heard someone muttering that the slaves with three surnames were worthy of being compared with us.
Zhu Jindan chatted for a while, then Lin Bai and Pei Ning entered first.
After waiting for another hour, Jing Situi led everyone to the main hall. There were two Nascent Souls, Jiang Xingchi and Du Jueming, but Lin Pei was no longer there.
Du Jueming looked calm and relaxed, not even remotely cowering like a long-legged fairy, but extremely calm.
Jiang Xingchi stroked his beard and smiled, kindly and kindly. With a smile, he ordered Shi Qingyu to distribute the simplified map of the Northern Wilderness Territory, and then gave instructions.
Anyway, most of it is nonsense. Why is this investigation the most important thing, safety is the most important thing, and there should be as few disputes as possible.
Of course, considering the dangers on the road, we must also help each other. If you really can't hold on, you can turn back and don't force yourself to sacrifice your life.
Zhu Jindan didn't say anything, thinking that if he didn't force him to work hard, then he might as well not let him go!
After chatting for a long time, everyone felt tired after listening to Jiang Xingchi's talk about the scene.
Then Du Jueming said a few more words, saying that if you listen to my orders, you will not be harmed.
Everyone still believes in Jiang Xingchi's words. Although Jiang Xingchi's habit will make people desperate, he can actually divide the fruits.
But Du Jueming was different. He ran away during fights before, so how could he know that he wouldn't run away if he was in danger this time? The title of Long-Legged Fairy was earned through hard work!
After half a day of commotion, the flying boat set off and headed northwest along the previous road up the pond.
This is the route that the Tianwen Sect takes to go south, passing by the territories of several Nascent Soul monsters along the way. These monsters rarely interact with people, and their intelligence cannot be compared to that of Li Chenyu. Most of them still act according to the instinct of beasts.
Therefore, although it is a bit dangerous, it is something I am used to. Moreover, monsters have a long lifespan and never leave their nest, so there shouldn't be any big changes along the way. At most, the Jindan realm monsters change their territory, and if they are careful, there won't be much trouble.
The flying boat was getting farther and farther away, and Du Jueming stayed in the cabin without saying a word.
Jiang Xingchi came specially to give him a ride and stay with him.
"Brother Du, my ancestor has said that when you come back this time, you can continue to stay in Zhouhui Mountain and receive my ancestor's teachings. If you don't want to, you can also go back to Jiuzhe Mountain and become the leader of a sect. If you want to go further in the future, you can do it yourself. We can also go to Wanshou Mountain," Jiang Xingchi reassured.
Du Jueming didn't even look at Jiang Xingchi, he just said: "What else can I say?"
"This trip is also for the sake of our millions of comrades in the East China Sea, and it is also for the sake of you and me." Jiang Xingchi said in a scene.
"I shouldn't have been seduced by you into participating in the Northern Expedition in the first place. Old Taoist Lihuo is dead, and Old Yan is also dead. The only people left in my hometown are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they won't live much longer..." Du Jueming revealed his true feelings in his words. Quite sad.
"How do you know that old trees can't grow new branches? Besides, Brother Du is still young. He will have to point out his ancestors in the future. The road is promising." Jiang Xingchi said with a smile.
Du Jueming didn't answer.
The flying boat traveled very fast. After five days, they saw a towering mountain peak in front of them, spanning an unknown number of miles.
The clouds are rolling high above the mountains, and a bit of cold wind is blowing.
As the flying boat climbed higher and crossed the mountains, it felt chilly and the wind was extremely strong.
"How does the wind here compare to the sandy land in Qianhe?" Du Jueming stood on the deck with a solemn expression.
"It's the same as the Thousand Gorges Sand Land. However, in the abyss in the middle of the Thousand Gorges Sand Land, the wind is three times stronger than here."
Du Jueming opened his mouth but said nothing.
The flying boat crossed the continuous high mountains, and then descended, more than ten feet above the ground. This time, firstly, the higher the altitude, the stronger the wind becomes, and secondly, there are cloud beasts running high in the sky.
"I'll send it here." Jiang Xingchi didn't want to go any further.
"..." Du Jueming was in a daze for a long time and finally nodded.
All the golden elixirs came to say goodbye, especially Wu Muqian, who was even more reluctant to leave, clutching Jiang Xingchi's sleeves with blurred eyes.
"Wu Muqian has only been your master for ten years, and I never imagined that master and disciple have such deep affection." At this moment, Du Jueming was not afraid of anything anymore and actually laughed out loud.
Jiang Xingchi nodded slightly and said, "Just be sincere."
All the Jindans watched, but no one said a word.
"Master," Wu Muqian wiped his tears and asked, "Why don't you see Lin Zhuanlun and Pei Ning? Lin Zhuanlun promised me that he would go to the Northern Wilderness together."
Jiang Xingchi touched Wu Muqian's head lovingly and said, "Everything is up to you. How can you succeed if you rely solely on Lin Zhuanlun?"
"..." Wu Muqian was stunned and said timidly: "Then he...he won't go? Sure enough...Old Ancestor Gu still gave up..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Xingchi immediately interrupted Wu Muqian and said in a deep voice: "Fairy Shen Yu knows another way and went to see off Lin Zhuanlun and Pei Ning."
"This..." Wu Muqian was stunned, and he murmured: "Master doesn't let me rely on Lin Zhuanlun, so how can Lin Zhuanlun rely on the fairy?"
"It was because he had the ability first that Fairy Shen Yu helped him. Don't overturn the fundamentals." Jiang Xingchi said.
"Then...how does the fairy know that there is another way?" Wu Muqian refused to give up.
"The master who once enlightened the fairy has a great origin, or there is a reason for it." Jiang Xingchi did not hide it.
Wu Muqian said nothing and walked into the cabin at a loss.
"I don't know why Brother Wumu scolded me!" At this time, thousands of miles away, on the same snowfield, Lin Bai and Pei Ning were walking side by side.
The path the two of them took was exactly the route she left behind when she and Sister Zhen parted ways.
However, even though I have a simple map in hand, all I can see are snow-capped mountains. The wind here has been blowing for who knows how many years, and it does not blow in one direction, but in many directions, almost covering the road in front of me.
The mountains are continuous, and countless amounts of ice and snow are frozen. Everywhere along the way, there was thick ice and snow, and it was still snowing.
"I have to go back!" A ray of blue light escaped and landed in Lin Bai's arms.
"Fairy, you are here." Lin Bai said.
"Yes!" Peining also said.
"My practice has reached a critical point now, and I can't leave!" The fox shook his head repeatedly, "If it weren't for Xiu Xiu, I wouldn't have bothered to send you two off! Besides, I'm a wild fox in the forest, not a snow fox, and I can't stand the cold."
She made up an excuse, threw out two fox tail hairs, and quickly went back to the mountain.
Lin Bai did not ask for anything extravagantly, and immediately walked northwest with Pei Ning.
The route left by Sister Zhen is extremely simple, and the place is completely white, so it is impossible to be too careful. We can only refer to the mountain tops to determine the direction of travel.
The two of them didn't dare to go too high in the air, so they just walked around and corrected their direction.
There was no danger along the way. There were many monsters of all kinds encountered, but there were only three in the Golden Core realm, so the two of them avoided it.
Most of the other monsters were ignorant, and Lin Pei did not dare to release the aura of the golden elixir. Some monsters came to check, either looking for trouble or simply out of curiosity.
After more than a month, they found a cave along the road. The two of them went inside to rest for a while and saw the mark left by Sister Zhen.
The cave is deep and unusually warm. Exploring inside, you can see the bones of various types of humans and animals. At the deepest point, there was actually a white bear monster.
After dealing with the monster, Lin and Pei continued on their way.
There are twists and turns, seeking good luck and avoiding evil to protect each other, but they have also experienced two battles, but at least they are all Jindan realm monsters, and they have not provoked the Nascent Soul realm.
Three more months later, we finally walked out of the mountains and saw the boundless white snowfields.
After traveling more than ten thousand miles, we reached the boundary of Wanli Lake.
Wanli Lake is located in the south of the Northern Wilderness Territory. The lake is thousands of miles wide. It is covered with ice and snow all year round. There are also many small islands where many monks and ordinary people live.
There is a Nascent Soul sect to the north of Wanli Lake, but it has declined long ago, and now only two Nascent Souls are left supporting it.
Because the level of the spiritual land here is not high and it is desolate, there is often no stranger within three to five hundred miles.
Lin Bai and Pei Ning chose a place to regain their vitality, and then moved forward. Stepping on the ice and snow on the lake, they saw a Ji-building family on a small island.
"Two seniors came to this place, why?" The head of the Foundation Establishment family was an old man. When he saw the two golden elixirs coming to the door, he was polite but a little wary.
Lin Bai didn't try to get close to anyone, he just asked about the geography and customs here with a cold face, and then left.
After that, you can see sects and families from time to time, but most of them are small sects, each with its own attachments.
Most of the people here wear animal skins, which may be a habit brought in by ordinary people. There are also some who wear robes, and the styles and patterns are very different from those in the East China Sea.
Moreover, this area is not suitable for farming, and spiritual plants that can grow in the land of ice and snow are even rarer. Most of them dig through the ice and enter the lake to catch various fish products. Because of this, most of the monks were fighting for territory, and Lin and Pei encountered several fights on the road.
But this is a small sect after all, so that doesn't mean much. It's not easy for small sects in the East China Sea to survive.
This place is remote. Many monks have heard the name of Tianwen Sect and know that it is a large sect. They have also heard that they have been in trouble, but they do not know the specific situation.
"The mountains are high and the gods are far away. We are all people living in the backcountry. It is normal not to know. But I think the Jindan Sect will know something, and the Yuanying Sect must have been paying attention."
Lin Bai and Pei Ning discussed for a while and decided to go to Qiushui Sword Sect.
This Qiushui Sword Sect is a Yuanying sect, with two Yuanyings in charge, and they have always been the masters of Wanli Lake. However, I heard that it has declined over the years, and a new sect named Yuxin Yiyi Sect has been established in the north, and the two factions are starting to show signs of differentiating.
Continue walking slowly to the northwest, and after ten days, you will see a towering city.
I saw a high wall made of ice that seemed to pierce the clouds, and it stretched for hundreds of miles. It also relied on mountains as a wall, with faint ripples of the magic circle, making it even more majestic.
This city is located to the north of Wanli Lake and is called Tiangong City. There are inner city and outer city. The outer city is built on Wanli Lake, while the inner city is on a large island and is the ancestral palace of Qiushui Sword Sect.
When he came to the city gate, he was not allowed to enter.
Lin Bai had inquired before arriving. Tiangong City was divided into an inner city and an outer city. Everyone could enter the outer city. It was a prosperous city in this land of thousands of miles.
With no other choice, Lin Bai took out the spirit stone to clear the way, and after asking the guards carefully, he found out that the Qiushui Sword Sect and the Yuxin Yiyi Sect had been having a big fight recently. Moreover, someone broke into the inner city three days ago, and then martial law was imposed.
"If you two really want to enter the city, you can wait for five or six days." The foundation guard had a long knife on his waist and an animal skin hat. He threw the spiritual stone presented by Lin Bai in his hand and laughed in a low voice: " If you two are in a hurry to enter the city, I...hehe, there are some ways.”
As expected, the janitors all look the same, and they all require personnel expenses! The pheasants by the Dream Lake are like this!
He had no choice but to dare to force his way in. Just as Lin Bai was about to discuss the price, he saw someone walking out of the broad city gate.
The man was wearing a loose Taoist robe, holding a folding fan, looking elegant and unrestrained.
Its breath is restrained, with a light herbal aroma.
The man walked out of the city gate waving the folding fan. He raised his eyes and saw Lin Pei. He was startled immediately, and then pretended that he didn't know him. He also pretended to suddenly realize, "I forgot my things in the city!" He tapped the palm of his hand with the folding fan and asked for it. Turn back to the city.
"Did I admit the wrong person? Fairy Deer clearly told me to come here to look for him." Lin Bai sighed.
Sure enough, the man stopped, hesitated for a while, ran out, and glared at Lin Bai.
"Brother Yao." Lin Bai smiled.
He Wenyao looked strange and didn't reply. He grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve and walked out.
When he came to a deserted place, He Wenyao stopped, stared into Lin Bai's eyes, and said: "You deceived me again, the fairy will never reveal my whereabouts!"
After he said this and saw the calm smile on Lin Bai's face, he became angry and said, "How did you find the fairy?"
"The fairy and I know each other and are each other's confidants, how can we not have a way to communicate?" Lin Bai smiled and talked nonsense.
He Wenyao believed it. There was a little sadness on his face and his eyes were red. Finally, he pointed at Lin Bai and said angrily: "I have worked hard to protect her for decades, but she has not even let me touch her. You just... Come... I live here with the fairy and start a new life, why are you here again?"
What is this man thinking? Lin Bai was shocked. He Wenyao really looked down upon this person and thought he was facing a pervert!
Lin Bai looked at Pei Ning again, and the two of them had the same mind. She clearly meant: It shows that you are famous!
He Wenyao pointed at Lin Bai and clicked for a long time. He was so angry that he couldn't say a word. Then he pointed at Pei Ning and said hatefully: "Pei Ning! You don't care about Lin Zhuanlun?"
Peining crossed her arms and said, "It's going to rain, and my mother needs her family, how can I take care of it?"
"..." He Wenyao seemed to have received a blow and took two steps back. Then he stood tremblingly. The sadness on his face slowly receded. He just looked at Lin Bai like a zombie and said, "She's not injured yet." Okay, you...you didn't bully her too much, right?"
Lin Bai and Pei Ning were stunned. They looked at each other and had huge questions: This guy has such virtue after forming an elixir? How did you get the elixir? (End of chapter)
