Chapter 79 Antarctica: The Land of Flesh
After some careful consideration, Xie Shen decided to go to the ice cave in Antarctica to find the water spirit energy needed to break through the golden elixir stage.
To meet unexpected needs.
Before setting off, he also specially refined two furnaces of elixirs using the Qingyang Strange Fire.
The first furnace is the ‘Resurrection Pill’.
After taking it, you can quickly heal your injuries. Due to its strong medicinal power, this elixir can only be used by monks at the foundation building stage and above.
The second furnace is the ‘Resurrection Pill’.
This elixir can only be taken by monks at the foundation building stage and above. Taking it can quickly replenish spiritual power.
After that, Xie Shen spent another whole day adjusting his condition.
At noon the next day.
Qingyang Sect Elder Ran Zhuyu brought news to Xie Shen: after receiving the Foundation Establishment Pill, a total of seven monks in the late stage of Qi training, including Bu Tianran, Qian Ming and Yang Si, had taken the pill and In retreat, I began to try to break through the bottleneck in the later stages of Qi training.
“Are you in such a hurry?”
In the secret room.
Xie Shenchong ordered Elder Ran Zhuyu: "Just in time, I plan to go to Antarctica later."
"Before leaving, please help me bring a few words to those seven people."< br>
"Ancestor, please speak." Ran Zhuyu responded.
Xie Shen said slowly: "The road to practice is extremely difficult."
"There may be only one out of every ten monks who take the Foundation Building Pill during the Qi training period. Can break through."
"So, remember to tell those seven people not to have high expectations."
"The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment."< br>
"If you fail to control your emotions and lead to an unstable Taoist heart, then there may be no hope of breakthrough in the future."
Do you have a Taoist heart?
Ran Zhuyu’s eyes were full of thought.
After being stunned for a long time, he bowed to Xie and said, "I have learned the lesson, I have learned the lesson."
"I have written down everything the ancestor said."< br>
"I promise to bring the message to you."
"Yes." Xie Shen nodded, and then curiously said: "By the way, as soon as the others got the Foundation Establishment Pill, they all tried to break through. Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Hey"
Ran Zhuyu smiled and said: "I think there is no point in being anxious about this matter."
"So. Just thinking, let’s see if others can break through.”
"If someone is successful, maybe we can learn some experience."
"Then I will come back when I am certain."
Ran Zhuyu is so safe, although there is no harm, but it can't Say how good it is.
After all, practitioners only seize the day.
A slow step means a slow step.
By the time you find yourself lagging behind others and want to catch up, it may be too late.
After learning Ran Zhuyu’s thoughts, Xie Shen just smiled without making too many comments.
…
That night.
Xie Shen and Chao Jing, a man in a suit, took the A10 spacecraft all the way from north to south to Antarctica.
Unlike 21st century aircraft.
When a spacecraft flies, it must first rise to a high altitude until it leaves the atmosphere.
After entering low-Earth orbit, the spacecraft will no longer be restricted by the atmosphere, and its speed can reach 30-40 times that of traditional aircraft.
So, Xie Shen and the man in the suit arrived in Antarctica from the East Asian continent in less than 2 hours.
It is the cold season in Antarctica at this time.
Under the night sky.
The unique Antarctic aurora during the polar night casts a curtain of light over the entire night sky, causing people to feel an inexplicable sense of loneliness and despair.
Inside the cockpit of the spaceship.
The man in a suit was wearing a pressure suit and said to Xie Shen through the headset that came with it: "It's a pity. During the cold season, penguins usually only move along the coast of Antarctica because it's too cold inland. , we should not be able to see them."
After complaining.
He said to Xie Shen again: "The oxygen stored in my pressure suit is limited. When it is used up, I have to go back to the spacecraft to replenish it."
"It is too inconvenient for me to move."
" So, I won’t accompany you to the ice cave.”
“I’ll stay in the spaceship to take care of you.”
“It’s up to you,” Xie Shen said. After that, he took out a palm-sized compass from the backpack behind him.
The compass has a yin and yang tai chi fish pattern painted in the center, and the ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches are also marked around it, which looks impressive.
But the only thing missing is the pointer.
The man in the suit saw it and asked curiously: "What do you use this compass for?"
Xie Shen explained: "The more spiritual energy a place has, the more likely it is that water spiritual energy will be born. The greater the nature.”
“So before coming, I specially refined this compass to find places with abundant spiritual energy.”
"This way, when you look for it later, you can get twice the result with half the effort."
"It's a bit interesting." The man in the suit stared at the compass for a moment.
He asked strangely: "By the way, why doesn't your compass have a pointer? Has it not been installed yet?"
"You can say that."
Xie Shenxiao He replied.
Then, in front of the man in the suit, he waved his hand and fired a stream of spiritual energy on the compass.
As soon as the spiritual power touched the compass, it immediately turned into a light blue pointer, and after rotating a few times, it pointed to the northwest.
"Yes!"
Seeing this scene, Xie Shen said happily: "The pointer on my compass will show different colors according to the intensity of the spiritual power." "There are seven levels of pointer color, from low to high: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple."
"Okay!" After hearing this, the man in the suit looked at the pointer on the compass and said, "Your pointer is light blue."
"This shows that the spiritual power in front of you is so strong. It's quite high."
"I understand correctly, right?"
"Correct answer!" Xie Shen walked out of the cockpit of the spacecraft with his compass in hand.
As he walked, he used the combat power detector to say to the man in the suit: "Then I'm leaving. If anything happens, remember to notify me as soon as possible."
"I know." The man in the suit responded quickly.
Following the direction pointed by the compass, Xie Shen walked in the ice and snow.
After a while, he discovered an ice cave not far ahead that was nearly three people high.
After feeling the extremely rich spiritual power overflowing from the inside of the ice cave from time to time, Xie Shen felt happy.
——This kind of dangerous situation is the most likely to give birth to water spirit energy.
Xie Shen put the searchlight on his head, and then carefully explored deep inside.
This ice cave is not very deep.
It only took Xie Shen less than 20 minutes to carefully explore the inside of the ice cave.
But unfortunately, he did not find the water spirit in it.
Xie Shen was not discouraged.
After returning without success, he continued to explore the next ice cave
…
Time passed.
Unknowingly, Xie Shen had been exploring the Antarctic road for a whole month, but he still found nothing.
At the same time.
It's freezing cold.
Due to physical discomfort, the man in the suit was forced to return to the Qingyang Sect base by spaceship three days ago.
After the man in the suit fell ill, Li Xiu arranged for Zhugefu to take over his work and be responsible for Xie Shen's logistics during his exploration in Antarctica.
And then.
Something happened to Zhuge Fu.
"Brother Shen, can you hear me?"
Inside the underground ice cave.
Xie Shen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhuge Fu's address to him, suddenly changed from 'Xie Shen' to 'Brother Shen'.
He asked curiously: "What, is there something going on over there?"
"I'll go and finally get in touch."
After Xie Shen's response, Zhuge Fu seemed to be relieved and said: "I encountered a geomagnetic storm, and then the spacecraft made an emergency landing."
"And I don't know why."
"The place I landed in doesn't look like Antarctica at all."
"This place is very strange!"
"Weird?" Xie Shen heard this and asked curiously: "How do you say it?"
Zhugefu said: "I can't see any snow around me, and the ground is red everywhere, just like living meat."
Red, like meat?
Hearing this, Xie Shen immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
He immediately thought of Li Xiu: "Have you contacted the people at the base? What did Li Xiu say?"
"I can't contact you, brother!" ”
There was a trace of panic in Zhugefu's tone, and he said: "Didn't I just tell you that I encountered a geomagnetic storm."
"You happen to be in Antarctica, so I can contact you. "
"A little further away, I won't be able to receive any signal. "
Zhuge Fu, like the brain, is a talker.
Even though he was in danger at the moment, he still kept talking to Xie Shen: "Actually, I'm not afraid of death. After all, I can't be resurrected and go to the tower prison."
"But the key point is."
Zhugefu cried mournfully: "Once I die, this spaceship will definitely be lost in this damn place, and it will never be found again."
"I'm going out for a trip. , can destroy an entire spaceship."
"If Li Xiu finds out about this, he will probably kill me!"
"Okay! Okay, stop talking now." Xie Shen interrupted Zhuge Fu's chatter.
He said calmly: "I'll hang up here first, and then I'll transfer to Li Xiu to see if he can think of a way."
"Okay." Zhugefu did not forget to remind: "Brother Shen, remember to say a few good words to me."
"You really can't blame me for this accident."
"I don't know what happened. The spaceship was open Open, I landed here inexplicably.”
“Brother Shen, you.”
Xie Shen didn't want to listen to Zhugefu's rambling anymore, so he took the initiative to cut off the communication.
He transferred to the Qingyang Sect base and briefly explained to Li Xiu the dilemma Zhugefu was currently facing.
"Red, meat-like ground?" After listening to Xie Shen's description, Li Xiu's voice immediately rose a few points.
Obviously, he showed great interest in Zhugefu's experience.
But since Li Xiu does not have the trait of 'emotion', his tone of voice was calm from beginning to end.
He said calmly: "You continue to keep in contact with Zhugefu and keep track of his movements at any time. I will fly the spaceship over now!"
On the snow.
After reporting the situation to Li Xiu, Xie Shen decisively sacrificed the flying sword weapon in Zifu.
He rose to a high altitude with his sword and rushed to the ground below to look down:
But as far as he could see, there were snow-covered plateaus and rolling mountains.
There is no "red, flesh-like ground" as Zhugefu calls it.
