Chapter 135 North Cold Continent
After traveling all over Dongxuanzhou, Su Qingwu made a decision to go to Beihanzhou.
Of the three major continents in Yuehua Realm, only Beihan Continent remains which I have not visited.
This continent is still separated from Dongxuanzhou by the sea.
We flew all the way for a whole day and night, and arrived at the boundless glacier at dawn the next day.
The temperature along the way dropped sharply to a level that was unbearable for ordinary people.
Su Qingwu circulated the spiritual power around his body from time to time to dispel the cold.
There are relatively many ice-attribute spiritual plants on the glacier, and occasionally you can also see some ice-attribute monsters.
Suspended in the sky, looking far away, under the sky, there are snow-capped peaks covered with frost, and the exposed corner of the glacier that is not covered by snow looks like crystal glass.
The rising morning glow shines through, outlining layers of colorful light, a rare and beautiful sight.
Su Qingwu admired it for a long time, then released his spiritual consciousness and began to look for spiritual plants of high age.
Soon, a burst of shouting and killing reached my ears.
Forty miles ahead, two groups of Qi-refining monks from different forces met each other. After mocking each other for a few words, they started fighting without saying a word.
Su Qingwu took just one look and then looked away, continuing to look for old spiritual plants to pick.
In the fierce battle between the two groups of Qi-refining monks, no one noticed her presence.
The shouting and screaming lasted for about half a cup of tea. On one side, a man of considerable background unfortunately died, and the incident became a big fuss.
Not long after, several beams of light came rushing over from the distance.
Because the noise was relatively loud, Su Qingwu paid attention to it again, but soon looked away.
She could already foresee the future development trend of this situation.
Either the two sides will use this as an excuse to go to war; or they will settle the matter peacefully, with the murderer paying compensation or directly requiring the murderer to pay with his life.
The last possibility will only occur when the corresponding forces are in a weak state as a whole.
Judging from the current situation, the first possibility is the highest.
As expected, the two sides started fighting again, but the main combatants changed from Qi Refining to Foundation Building...
Su Qingwu speculated that if both forces had Golden Cores in their stead, then in all likelihood the situation would turn into a Golden Core War.
Having traveled in Dongxuanzhou for half a year, she had seen many similar power struggles, and the processes were basically the same.
Thinking of this, she waved her sleeves and took out a square white jade jar that was about the size of a palm. After opening the seal, she used the spiritual water inside to water a 500-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus that she had just found.
This small white jade jar was made by her personally in the past six months, and is used specifically to hold the spiritual water stored in the Qiankun bottle.
After what happened with Kong Fan, Su Qingwu no longer takes out the Qiankun bottle.
Every seven days, she would find a secluded place, go to the Jade Mirror space, pour out the accumulated spiritual water, and put it into a small white jade jar for temporary storage.
At first, she was worried that doing so would greatly reduce the effectiveness of the spiritual water, but after multiple tests, she confirmed that there was no effect.
From the appearance alone, the small white jade jar and the Qiankun bottle have no similarities and will not evoke any association.
After watering the Tianshan Snow Lotus, Su Qingwu immediately picked it and gained a small amount of cultivation in return.
Seeing that there were no old spiritual plants around, she suddenly flew away into the distance.
The two waves of forces that were fighting fiercely were startled by the escaping light and their attacks suddenly slowed down.
Only after making sure she was gone did he return to the fight...
For ten consecutive days, Su Qingwu searched for spiritual plants on the glacier.
Whenever they come across one that is over a hundred years old, they will water it with spiritual water, and then pick it to gain cultivation in return.
As for wines under 100 years old and of higher value, they will also be harvested directly.
Then, you can sell it and earn some income.
Ten days later, Su Qingwu left the glacier and headed northwest.
The overall climate of this continent is cold. It is located in the northern part of the entire Yuehua Realm, hence the name "Beihan".
There is no summer in Europe, and nearly three quarters of the year is winter.
Without enough things to keep out the cold, mortals simply cannot survive in Beihanzhou.
Many people die of freezing or starvation every year.
In a cold climate, very few crops can be grown.
With food shortages, frequent disasters, hunger and cold, one can imagine what life was like.
From a mortal's perspective, Beihan Continent has the worst environment among the three continents in Yuehua Realm.
For monks, the impact is relatively small, but not non-existent.
Due to the low temperature, many spiritual plants cannot grow normally, resulting in the high price of elixirs in this continent.
However, in the eyes of local monks, the price of elixirs has always been the same. As long as they don't go to the other two continents and make comparisons, they will not have any other ideas.
Su Qingwu rushed for half a day and arrived at a medium-sized city. He sold all the ice-attribute spiritual plants he had picked and obtained 100,000 spiritual stones.
In order to make it easier to travel around the continent, she bought a detailed map.
There are fewer plains in Beihanzhou, and there are more than ten specially marked dangerous places.
Places like this are usually sparsely populated.
If there are any spiritual plants, most of them are of high age, which is perfect for Su Qingwu to explore.
However, she did not act rashly. Instead, she first inquired about the situation in various places so that she had a clear idea of the situation.
Afterwards, based on the principle of proximity, we went to the Hanyuan Forest first.
There are many cedar trees growing here. According to legend, a long time ago, this place was a large mass grave, and few living people were seen within a radius of dozens of miles.
These cedars were planted by a medical practitioner himself.
To the monks, corpses were nothing and there was no need to avoid them. If it were only because of the existence of mass graves, this place would not have been specially marked as a dangerous place on the map.
The reason for this is that after the cedars were planted, accidents occurred here one after another.
No matter whether they are ordinary people or monks who are practicing Qi refining or building foundation, they often go missing in this area.
A small number of the missing people came from larger forces. After confirming that the soul lamp had shattered and fallen, some people came to investigate the situation, but in the end they found nothing.
As time went by, there were more and more cases of disappearances, and this place was listed as a dangerous place until now.
Su Qingwu flew through the air all the way and arrived above the Hanyuan Forest. He released his spiritual sense to observe for a while, but did not find any old spiritual plants.
She felt a little regretful and was about to leave, but the next moment, she sensed an unusual fluctuation of spiritual power coming from the forest.
Since her spiritual sense did not give any warning of danger, she wanted to find out what was going on, so she slowly descended to the corresponding position.
After careful identification, it was unexpectedly discovered that the source of the spiritual power fluctuations was actually an inconspicuous cedar tree.
He gathered spiritual power in his palm, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it towards the cedar. Instantly, a bang sounded next to his ear.
The stone broke into several pieces, but the cedar remained intact.
Seeing this, Su Qingwu frowned and pondered for a moment, then swung his palm forward into the air.
The moment the palm wind touched the cedar, it dissipated with a bang.
Both attempts had the same result.
The cedar can't even be considered a spiritual plant, it's just an ordinary plant, but it can block a casual attack from the golden elixir, which is obviously abnormal.
Using spiritual consciousness to investigate, apart from sensing a slight fluctuation of spiritual power that was different from others, nothing else was discovered. Using the naked eye, nothing could be seen.
Su Qingwu hesitated for a moment, then simply reached out his hand forward. The moment it touched the cedar, something strange happened!
