Chapter 27

Ice River

The most difficult part of the inner realm is the icy river.

"It's so damn cold!"

Yan Qingyan hugged her arms with her hands and shivered with cold.

The inner and outer realms are very different, like different secret realms that seamlessly connect to the same place.

The cold here is different from the cold weather. Even if you use fire-based spiritual power to drive away the cold, the effect is still minimal.

Yan Qingyan looked at the monks around her. Why did these people seem to be fine?

After thinking for a while, Yan Qingyan showed her social skills and asked a square-faced monk who looked very honest.

"My fellow Taoist, why don't you feel cold?" Yan Qingyan asked with a smile on her frozen mouth.

The square-faced monk looked over with a wary look on his face and uttered a cold word softly, "Get lost."

Yan Qingyan:......

Yan Qingyan clenched her fists.

I finally understand why some monks fight wherever they go.

The square-faced monk snorted coldly, took out a boat-shaped magic weapon from his storage ring, and sailed the boat towards the other side of the glacial river.

The closer you get to the icy river, the lower the temperature becomes. A wisp of mist appears on the surface of the river, and it seems as if there are invisible creatures swimming in the mist, making it seem like a fantasy.

Not long.

Several shadows rushed towards the ships in the river, making a buzzing sound.

A shadow quickly rushed out, dragging the stern of the boat, as if trying to pull people into the river.

Most of the monks who had swam to the middle of the river were attacked by these phantoms.

"ah!"

“Get out of here!”

"Golden Spear Strike!"

Yan Qingyan watched helplessly as several people were succumbed to the phantom and fell into the river, and were dragged to the bottom of the river by an unknown spirit beast in the water.

After their boats were broken, several people took out their flying magic weapons to fly into the air, but they were rebounded by the no-fly formation in the air and ended up with the same fate as everyone else.

The same was true of the square-faced monk who looked so arrogant just now.

"What the hell! There are a lot of mysterious beasts in the river, there are strange phantom creatures in the fog on the river surface, and there is a no-fly formation in the sky that prohibits flying. How can we get through this?!" Yan Qingyan smacked her lips.

I have heard that there is a huge difference between the inner and outer areas of the Five Sources Secret Realm. If you want to enter the inner realm of the holy land for cultivation, you must pass through many levels and only those who are capable can pass.

I didn’t expect the first level to be so difficult.

"The first level is a test of strength. There is no shortcut. Otherwise, the resources in the inner realm would have been plundered long ago."

Yan Qingyan turned her head and saw a cute round-faced female cultivator speaking.

Like her, alone.

"Aren't you cold too?" Yan Qingyan asked the question again.

She always felt that there was a secret that everyone else knew but she didn't.

The round-faced female cultivator took out a fiery red flower, waved it in front of Yan Qingyan, and said with a smile, "This is the Blazing Flame Flower, which is unique to the Five Origins Secret Realm and can be found everywhere on the edge of the inner realm. If you hang it on your body, you won't feel cold. This is common knowledge in the secret realm. Didn't you do any homework before you came in?"

Yan Qingyan:......

Yan Qingyan looked around and saw that there were indeed quite a few scorching flowers blooming. She gently picked one and put it on her body, and dug another one and planted it into the space.

The round-faced female cultivator saw Yan Qingyan storing a scorching flame flower into the 'storage bag' and explained, "The scorching flame flower can only grow in the Five Origins Secret Realm. If you take it out of the secret realm, it will quickly wither and become useless."

"Haha, I'll try it." Yan Qingyan said nonchalantly.

She has space in her hands, which is a natural encyclopedia of spiritual plants. Spiritual plants in any environment can love each other and become a family.

Yan Qingyan exclaimed in amazement, "This flower is the size of a thumb, but it can actually resist the cold. The world is really full of wonders."

A flaming flower is as long as half a finger, no wonder she didn't notice it before.

Yan Qingyan turned around and bowed, "Thank you for letting me know."

"No, no, it's no big deal. My name is Dongfang Huaiwei, and you?" Dongfang Huaiwei waved his hands quickly.

She was alone for the past seven days, and she had no idea where her companions had gone. Meeting someone she could talk to made her feel good.

"Yan Qingyan." Yan Qingyan answered, saying her name without any hesitation.

Not far away, a man heard a familiar name and turned his head to look over.

Yan Fengjie frowned when he saw the appearance of the person who was speaking.

'Are they actually the same name? '

Yan Qingyan noticed Yan Fengjie's gaze but ignored it.

Most of the people here are in the early stage of foundation building, and there is no sign that she has taken the second-grade disguise pill.

There are too many people with the same name.

After putting on the little flower and no longer worrying about the cold, Yan Qingyan began to think about the problem of crossing the river.

"I don't have a boat-shaped magic weapon. Do I need to build a boat?" Yan Qingyan shifted her gaze towards the spiritual trees.

Dongfang Huaiwei nodded and said, "Many Taoist friends have tried the method of using spirit trees to build boats. The key is how to safely cross the icy river without being pulled under by the spirit beasts in the river."

The deaths did not scare the monks on the river bank, and some of them started traveling again one after another.

Some people went in teams of two or three, some went alone, some used their own boat-shaped magical instruments, and some, like Yan Qingyan, cut down a thick spiritual tree and made a boat on the spot.

"ah!"

"No!"

"Quick! Block it!"

"Kill those beasts!"

The sound of fighting was heard from the middle of the river from time to time. Yan Qingyan swallowed and subconsciously thought of space.

As soon as the thought came to mind, it was immediately cut off by Yan Qingyan.

'No! I can't rely on space, I must cross the river with my own ability! '

"I'll go build a ship!" Yan Qingyan said firmly.

"What about you?" Yan Qingyan asked.

"Haha, I'm waiting for my friend."

Just as he finished speaking, Dongfang Huaiwei's eyes lit up and he said to Yan Qingyan, "I saw my fellow Taoist. I'll go over first. I wish you a successful crossing of the river!"

"Haha, you too!" Yan Qingyan responded with a smile.

Looking at Dongfang Huaiwei's receding back, Yan Qingyan felt emotional.

What a cute girl.

......

After one stick of incense.

Yan Qingyan carried the brand new spirit wood sailboat and gently placed it by the river.

As soon as this ship appeared, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"What's that look?"

"Is there some secret hidden?"

The monk who was about to cross the river with gritted teeth also stopped.

They were not 100% sure they could cross the river, so they had to wait and watch on the shore, learning from the lessons of those before them to increase their chances of crossing the river.

No matter how anxious you are to get the treasure, safety is more important.

Yan Qingyan plucked up her courage and secretly wrapped her whole body with the wood-attribute ability, forming an invisible barrier.

Just in case, safety comes first.

If the boat is destroyed, she can still use her supernatural powers to hold on for a while.

Yan Qingyan stood on the spirit wood boat and rowed hard.

Wow——

"Oh shit!"

After a row, the spiritual wooden boat turned half a circle and circled along the river bank.

Yan Qingyan paddled again, and the boat spun again. After several attempts, she failed to turn the bow in the correct direction.

Yan Qingyan was confused.

People on the shore: ...

Just at this moment.

A luxurious boat-shaped magical weapon appeared beside Yan Qingyan.

Yan Qingyan looked at the person on the boat and found that it was the flower!

Hua Duoer turned her head to look at Yan Qingyan's slightly funny little boat and avoided her eyes with a look of disgust.

Then, it drove towards the opposite side at lightning speed.

Soon, they arrived at the other side smoothly.

Yan Qingyan:......

This secret realm is not a place for testing strength, but a place for testing financial resources!

"The wind is whistling..." Yan Qingyan sighed.

The boat she built was disobedient and numb.

At this time, an extremely familiar voice sounded behind Yan Qingyan.

"Qingyan!"

Yan Qingyan was startled and turned back suddenly.
