Zhuo Ting said: "I'll bet with you who can help Xiaodie find the antidote first!"
Zhan Chen's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "What's the point of gambling? We are all here to save people." He seemed to sense that Senior Brother Zhuo had some kind of plan.
Sure enough, Zhuo Ting said next: "Zhan Chen, Junior Sister Zhuang had an accident when she was with you. If I were with her, I would at least protect her from life-threatening danger. But now she has become like this."
How dare you say it has nothing to do with you?"
Hearing what Zhuo Ting said, Zhan Chen was really speechless. The reason why Mei Qing was jealous of Zhuang Xiaodie was entirely because of herself. It could be said that she was also one of the culprits who caused her senior sister's poisoning.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Zhuo Ting attacked him further and said, "Zhan Chen, I doubt whether you are sincere to Junior Sister Zhuang!" After saying that, he turned to Zhuang Weiye and Huang Ru and said, "Master
, Mistress, I would like to ask the two of you to bear witness to the bet between me and Zhan Chen. If I find the antidote first, I will marry Junior Sister Zhuang to me, and if Zhan Chen finds it first, the same will apply."
Zhuang Weiye hadn't spoken yet, but Huang Ru on the other side said: "Okay, that's how it should be. Ting'er, Weiye and I have watched you grow up. If I leave Die'er to you, we can rest assured."
When Zhan Chen heard their conversation, he almost jumped up with anger. He and his senior sister were in love, but they wanted to tear them apart. He said, "How can this be? She should make the decision on senior sister's marriage.
Senior sister’s feelings cannot be used as a bet!”
"Okay, Zhan Chen, are you afraid?" Huang Ru asked.
"Of course I'm not afraid!" Zhan Chen replied.
"Since ancient times, marriage has been dictated by parents and matchmakers. As Zhuang Xiaodie's parents, Weiye and I naturally know what kind of person our daughter should be with. And from what Ting'er just said, Xiaodie's poisoning
It has nothing to do with you. Now that he is willing to compete fairly with you, what complaints do you have?"
Zhan Chen was speechless as his weak point was grasped.
Huang Ru added: "This matter is settled, whoever of you two finds the antidote for Die'er first will be our banker's son-in-law!"
Zhan Chen felt terribly gloomy in his heart. He clenched his fists and said, "Okay, Zhuo Ting, I will accept this bet! I will definitely find the antidote first before you do!"
At this time, Zhuang Weiye said on the side: "Okay, you guys, stop fighting. Now it's important to seize the time to save people. Elder Baili said that he wants you to find something like the Ice Flame Fantasy Flower or the Frost Ambergris."
Immortal elixirs or elixirs that are similar to the most yin to cold, and these elixirs may appear in Qianling Mountains and Extreme South Island. Now you two can choose a place to go."
"I choose Ji Nan Island!" Zhuo Ting said. He was thinking privately that he often went to sea to perform missions and had a good understanding of the situation at sea. If he went to Ji Nan Island, it would be of great benefit to him.
"Okay, I'll go to the Qianling Mountains!" Zhan Chen nodded in agreement.
Zhuang Weiye took out two maps, gave one to each of them, and said, "Here are the maps. You two are on your way immediately. If you can rescue my daughter, I will be very grateful!"
"It will definitely fulfill its mission!" they replied, and then retreated.
Afterwards, Zhan Chen left the Linghe Sect and followed the map to the north, towards the Qianling Mountains. The journey lasted for nearly three months. He began to gradually penetrate into the Wanfa Continent, and suddenly he felt something else.
The closer to the center of the Continent of Ten Thousand Laws, the richer the fairy spiritual energy in the air; the closer to the center of the Continent of Ten Thousand Laws, the brighter the sky appears, the greater the spiritual pressure in the air, and the cultivation of the immortals is also affected.
The more severe the suppression; the closer to the center of the Wanfa Continent, the more people's general cultivation level rises. Along the way, Zhan Chen even saw many Peeping Yuan Realm powerhouses like himself walking on the streets with the common people of Li.
superior.
When he arrived at Qizhou City in front of the Qianling Mountains, Zhan Chen walked in the city and could hardly find any figure of a martial artist. People living here have the fifth and sixth level of martial arts training when they are born, and they can basically reach it after they reach adulthood.
Martial arts master's cultivation level, if the baby is born
Those who have not reached the 50% level of martial arts cultivation will die early because they cannot bear the environment here. And it is through this kind of survival of the fittest that nature retains the strong ones who can adapt to cultivation. Therefore, the center of Wanfa Continent
Only for the strongest to survive!
There was heavy snowfall in Qizhou City, but it was still lively. Zhan Chen decided to go into the mountains immediately, so he wanted to find someone to understand the situation first, so he found a lively wine shop and entered it, ordering a few plates of side dishes to eat and drink.
Seeing the waiter coming, Zhan Chen pulled him, took out a few low-grade immortal stones and stuffed them into his hands, and said, "Xiao Er, I have a few questions that I would like you to ask for help. Is it convenient?"
The waiter was very happy after receiving his immortal stone, and said: "Senior, if you have anything to say, just ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
"Great, I want to enter the Qianling Mountains, but I don't know what the conditions are like in these mountains. Are there any dangers and taboos?"
As soon as he heard that he was going into the Qianling Mountains, the waiter's face changed and he said: "Sir, if you really want to go into the mountains, then I suggest you try not to go deep and just hang around around Qizhou City.
And prepare more warm clothes."
"Oh, why is this?"
"It's extremely cold in the Qianling Mountains. The average temperature is over fifty degrees below zero. Even the powerful physiques of the Martial Saints can't stand it."
Zhan Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have the cultivation level of Yuanjing."
When the waiter heard that the guest sitting in front of him was a Taoist immortal, he showed even more respect and said: "It turns out that the senior is a Taoist master. Please forgive me for my blindness."
"You're welcome, I'm just a drinker now."
"But senior, even if you have strong cultivation, you still need to wear more clothes, because the temperature in the center of the Qianling Mountains is even lower, and in some places it is even as low as a hundred degrees below zero. Even a Taoist immortal may be frostbitten without taking any precautions."
"Is it that cold?" Zhan Chen asked in surprise.
"Absolutely true."
"Okay, thanks for reminding me!"
"The Qianling Mountains are not only cold but also extremely dangerous. There are eighth- and ninth-level monsters on the outskirts of the mountains. Martial Saints and strong men have to form groups to ensure safety. Going deeper into the mountains, even more vicious beasts are rampant. There are even powerful Taikoo.
Barbarians are infested. These monsters are powerful and inhumane. They will rush towards people when they meet them. Even those who have entered the Taoist realm often lose their lives. So, senior, you must be worried!"
"Yes, I understand."
"Not only that, it is said that there is a large hidden Immortal Sect in the center of the Qianling Mountains."
"Does a large immortal sect install its mountain gate in such a cold place?" Zhan Chen said in surprise.
"Yes, I also heard from others that the sect is called Jiu Jue Palace, which specializes in the secrets of ice. It is a sect that respects women. Men have no status at all in the sect and are equivalent to slaves. Jiu Jue Palace is a very
It is a terrifying sect. It is said that there are many enlightened ancestors sitting in the sect, and it can be ranked in the middle and upper class among many large immortal sects."
"Nine Jue Palace, is it a large-scale immortal sect? It seems I have to be careful." Zhan Chen frowned. If he wanted to go deep into the Central Spirit of the Qianling Mountains to find the elixir, he would inevitably have to go deep into the territory of this sect. But his own cultivation
Because I only have a glimpse of the Yuan Realm, I am afraid that I can't even rank as an ant in front of such a large sect. Once there is a conflict with them, not to mention retrieving the elixir for the senior sister, even whether I can leave alive is a problem.
"Thank you very much!" Zhan Chen said, stood up and left the wine shop.
After leaving the wine shop, Zhan Chen listened to the waiter's advice and first went to the fur shop to buy a few sets of thick fur coats for himself to change into. He then went to the hotel to buy a lot of spirits and stored them in the storage ring. Finally, he also brought a
A detailed map of the Qianling Mountains before heading towards the Qianling Mountains.
Standing outside Qizhou City and looking at the Qianling Mountains from a distance, the Qianling Mountains are as vast as the sea, with snow-capped mountains towering into the clouds. The shortest one is several thousand meters high. They are close to each other and gradually move towards the distance.
Spread out, just like countless white waves on the sea. Facing the greatness of nature, people feel as lonely as a drop in the ocean.
Entering the snowy mountains, Zhan Chen immediately felt the coldness that the waiter mentioned. Even though he was wearing a fur coat, the cold air around him was still like a rat that could burrow in the ground, trying to get into his clothes.
.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but tighten his tight clothes again. Although he was already a strong Taoist, he would still be a little uncomfortable with such low temperature. He looked at the towering mountains in front of him again, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. He thought
: "What a pity,
Although Xiao Ye is a monster with a strong physique, he cannot fly over these snow-capped mountains at such low temperatures. I can only climb over them on foot, so I have to speed up my pace to warm up my body as soon as possible. Near the center of the Qianling Mountains, only
It’s even colder than now!”
He thought silently and walked quickly towards a snow-capped mountain nearly 5,000 meters high in front of him. Hiking over the snow-capped mountains was really a torture. The north wind on the mountain was so strong that it was like a flying knife scraping the face, making people blind.
Willing to open it; under my feet is the frozen hard and slippery
There were many rocks on which the center of gravity was unbalanced when he stepped on them; he would also encounter many steep cliffs that were difficult to climb. At this time, he would directly use the flying technique to climb over. Just like this, he kept walking hard intermittently, and he used all his strength to climb over.
It took a quarter of an hour to conquer this snow-capped mountain.
Standing on the top of the snow-capped mountains, Zhan Chen didn't feel the slightest sense of accomplishment, because there were many higher peaks waiting for him to climb. At this time, he really wished to stop here, find a cave to make a fire, and drink something.
He drank wine to keep warm, but unfortunately he knew he couldn't stop because his senior sister urgently needed the antidote from him later.
In addition to the mountains and the severe cold, Zhan Chen's enemies also include monsters lurking in the darkness. They are very fierce when encountering humans passing by, pounce like poisonous snakes, and do not even calculate the gap between their own strength and Zhan Chen.
During the march on the first day, he killed eight eighth-order monsters and three ninth-order monsters. On the second day, he encountered a total of twenty-five eighth-order and ninth-order monsters.
The beast is twice as big as the first day!
As he gradually goes deeper into the Qianling Mountains, the challenges Zhan Chen will encounter will become more and more severe. This medicine-seeking journey is destined to not be smooth sailing, but full of dangers!
