Early in the morning, a huge spaceship flew to Kunlun Mountain from afar.
Seeing the spaceship, Zhou Qing said to Lu Qingmo: "Aunt Mo, let's go first."
"Go ahead. I'll wait for you to come back from the Snow Mountain Sect."
Originally, Lu Qingmo planned four days ago to go into seclusion after Zhou Qing went to attend the Hanxue Festival.
However, during these four days, he changed his mind and decided to wait for Zhou Qing to return before going into seclusion.
It only takes a few days anyway, so it won’t delay anything.
Zhou Qing took An Lang and Yun Duo and flew directly onto the spaceship. There were already quite a few people on it.
This is the Xuandu Temple team that is going to participate in the Snow Festival.
"Meet Senior Brother Zhou."
Someone greeted Zhou Qing and after he nodded in response, Zhou Qing discovered that there were quite a few people there.
Not only true disciples, but also inner disciples will go together.
Although every true disciple can attend the event if they wish, there is no doubt that it is a beneficial thing.
Taking inner disciples with them is a reward for those extremely outstanding inner disciples.
A disciple came over and said, "Brother Zhou, please come with me. I will take you to your room."
Zhou Qing nodded and followed him.
This spaceship is very large, with three floors and rooms inside for rest.
The Snow Mountain Sect is located at the very edge of Hanzhou, very far away from Xuanfa County.
The main reason is that Hanzhou is too big.
The rooms for true disciples are all arranged on the second floor. The upper floor is for the masters of Xuandu Temple who are accompanying them, and the lower floor is for the other disciples.
After entering the room assigned to Zhou Qing, An Lang immediately exclaimed in admiration.
"What a magnificent flying device, sir! It's much more majestic than your Sky-Surfing Divine Ship."
Zhou Qing was helpless, "The Tianxing Shenzhou is only a mid-grade artifact. It's normal for such a large Xuandu Temple to have a more powerful flying artifact."
Yun Duo said with sparkling eyes:
"I wonder how lively this snowy festival will be."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I will definitely not let you down."
"When we get to the Snow Festival, if you have anything you like, you can tell me."
A day-traveling monk and a day-traveling imp, the things they could buy were really nothing to Zhou Qing.
If you pull out a hair from him, you can buy a lot of things for the two of them.
After putting some things away, Zhou Qing left the room.
"Brother Zhou!"
As soon as he came out, he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Zhou Qing smiling:
"It turns out that Junior Brother Feng is also participating in this Snowy Festival."
There is a person on the side, wearing a blue shirt, with a tall figure and a great aura.
The tenth true teaching is Feng Wu Ji.
A very distinctive name. This person had routinely challenged Zhou Qing in the battle for the rank of true disciple, but was defeated by Zhou Qing.
Feng Wuji said, "Let's go and join in the fun."
Since the two were not very familiar with each other, they just chatted briefly and then went their separate ways.
Zhou Qing took An Lang and Yun Duo to find Murong Yanran and the others.
Shi Yi and Cao Yinyin were also there.
After seeing Zhou Qing, Cao Yinyin sighed heavily.
"Brother, I really missed a great opportunity before."
"It's okay." Zhou Qing smiled and said, "There will be many opportunities in the future. There are many opportunities in this world."
The last time we went to the Ming Ancient Divine Mountain, if Cao Yinyin hadn't been away from Xuandu Temple due to family matters, she would definitely have been in the five-person team. Since there were enough people, Zhou Qing would not have thought of inviting Ao Xuanwei.
Unfortunately, Cao Yinyin is not in the sect, so the fate is just around the corner.
When she came back and heard about Zhou Qing and the others' experiences in the Ancient Temple of the Underworld, she naturally sighed with regret.
Loss.
"An Lang, you all know Yun Duo, my good friend, a disciple of Shuiyue Peak. We all come from Heiyun Town in Tianzhou."
Zhou Qing briefly introduced the ghost and the man, and he was not the only one who brought people.
There were also other people following behind Shi Yi and Cao Yinyin, a woman and a man.
"Shi Xi, my little sister, I'm taking her to broaden her horizons this time."
"Cao Fu, my nephew, has just entered the sect."
Shi Xi had a baby face and looked quite cute. He smiled at Zhou Qing and the others with his eyes narrowed.
Cao Fu has a handsome appearance, but is a bit reserved.
Several people went to the area on the spaceship specially used for rest and chatting, and sat down.
Murong Yanran looked at Zhou Qing, "Junior brother, what is your goal in going to the Snow Festival this time?"
"I want to see if there is any ancient stone liquid, or other treasures for cultivating the second level of the original combat body."
The ancient stone liquid is the second treasure that can help marrow-washing warriors cross the border and cultivate a minor combat body.
It is said that this treasure is a gemstone left over from ancient times that turned into liquid by chance and underwent various changes to form this treasure.
It cannot be said to be priceless and comparable to the treasures of heaven and earth. Its value is just that of a rare treasure among divine materials.
But it is extremely rare and difficult to find, and it is not even found in Xuandu Temple.
As for other treasures for cultivating the second level of the original combat body, when he first went to ask Elder Qian for resources for this kind of cultivation, Elder Qian told Zhou Qing that the sect could only provide him with a part of the resources of the second level and Zhou Qing could not specify them.
So Zhou Qing had already applied during these four days.
Although it couldn't be put together, it was still good enough. At least it saved Zhou Qing a lot of effort and money.
"Ancient stone liquid, this thing is really rare, I have never seen it before."
Shi Yi said: "However, the Hanxue Festival is extremely grand, and there may be hope of obtaining this item. There is a high probability that other resources can also be found."
"If you can find it, that would be great."
In the following communication, Zhou Qing learned that the main purpose of Shi Yi and his team's going to the Cold Snow Festival was to collect the treasures needed for Ning San.
This is actually one of Zhou Qing's goals, but because he is still several levels away from the state of condensation and dispersion, he can collect the knowledge slowly, so the priority of this goal is lower than the original combat body.
"By the way, what is the name of this flying artifact? It looks extraordinary."
"The Jiaxuan Divine Ship is a top-grade flying artifact. But don't underestimate it because it is just a top-grade one. In fact, its value is much higher than a normal top-grade flying artifact."
Shi Yi said: "The seniors of the sect used more materials when refining the Jiaxuan Divine Ship, and they deliberately made it larger so that it could accommodate more people."
"The materials used to refine it are enough to refine several normal-sized top-grade flying artifacts out there."
"Intentionally refine it to be bigger?" Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "That's exactly what we should do. Bigger is better."
There must be a flying artifact inside Xuandu Temple that is more advanced than the Jiaxuan Divine Ship, but it can only be said that there is no need to use it.
We are just going to participate in the Snow Festival, not to go to the battlefield, so a top-grade flying artifact is enough.
The Snow Mountain Sect is also in Hanzhou. With the status and power of Xuandu Temple in Hanzhou, people would not look down on you even if you walked there, let alone riding a top-notch flying artifact. Instead, they would praise Xuandu Temple from other angles.
"This is a flying artifact of the same order. There are also the Yixuan Divine Ship and the Bingxuan Divine Ship in the sect..."
While chatting, the Jiaxuan divine ship went to other places to pick up other disciples. After all those who participated in the Hanxue Festival were on board, it rushed out of Xuandu Temple and flew quickly to the north.
The disciples of Xuandu Temple acted as a group, and with the addition of experts accompanying the team, the journey was naturally smooth without any accidents.
A "giant beast" crawling on the ground appeared in the distance. After quickly approaching, the true appearance of the beast was revealed, which turned out to be a majestic city.
This is a city made entirely of ice and snow. It is not built with stone or other materials. The walls are actually ice. The most important thing is that there are no traces of stacking. It is a seamless whole without any gaps.
It looks like a city carved out of a giant iceberg, truly a marvel of nature's workmanship.
When you get closer, you can see the name of this city.
Snow Mountain City! However, the Jiaxuan Divine Ship did not enter the Snow Mountain City, but just passed by it and flew further north.
Finally, endless snow-capped mountains appeared before everyone on the divine ship.
There are countless pavilions and towers on the snow-capped mountains, as well as many ice palaces and ice halls, with snow falling all day long.
Looking further to the north, far behind the snow-capped mountains, as if at the edge of the sky, are more divine mountains shrouded in snowstorms. They are so densely packed and endless that it is impossible to count how many peaks there are.
There, the sky and the earth were all white, without any other color. Snowflakes fell like waterfalls, connecting the sky and the earth, making the endless snow-capped mountains an extremely distant area that seemed not to be in this world. The snow waterfall seemed like a boundary.
Outside the snow waterfall is the world of Hanzhou, and inside the snow waterfall are the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains.
“It’s spectacular.”
The snow-capped mountain closest to them is the location of the Snow Mountain Sect.
And those endless sacred mountains far in the sky are none other than the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains. By crossing the Snow Mountain Sect and passing through the snow waterfalls of heaven and earth, one can enter the world of the Snow Clan.
The Snow Clan does not prohibit humans from entering the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains, just as people from the Snow Clan also travel to Hanzhou and other areas of Da Qi. As long as they pay attention to abide by local rules, they will be fine.
A streak of light flew out from the gate of Snow Mountain Sect. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a person.
"Hahaha, Brother Jiang, Brother Wang, long time no see."
With a hearty laugh, the man flew to the Jiaxuan divine ship and went directly to the third floor to communicate with the masters of Xuandu Temple.
Zhou Qing and the others were standing on the second floor and could faintly hear laughter coming from above.
Not long after, the Jiaxuan Divine Ship flew into the gate of the Snow Mountain Sect and finally stopped on the top of a snowy mountain.
Everyone got off the Jiaxuan spaceship, and an elder from Xuandu Temple said to Zhou Qing and his disciples:
"Before the official start of the Snow Festival, you can go to Snow Mountain City to move around freely, or you can stay here to rest. The Snow Mountain Sect's mountain protection formation has marked us, so we can enter and leave the Snow Mountain Sect without hindrance."
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
After saying this, these elders and even higher-ups left with the Snow Mountain Sect’s masters.
These masters have lived in Hanzhou for decades or even hundreds of years. They have met countless people in their lives. They all have a few good friends in the Snow Mountain Sect, and now is the time to visit them.
Disciples like Zhou Qing are no longer children, so it is impossible to enforce management on them.
An Lang asked, "Sir, where are we going next?"
"Snow Mountain City."
Zhou Qing looked at Murong Yanran and the others, "Senior Sister Murong, are you going?"
Shi Yi said: "I have an elder in the Snow Mountain Sect. I have to go and pay my respects to him first. I can't go with you, brother."
Murong Yanran also nodded, "I'll go with him."
"Then Brother, let's go to Snow Mountain City!"
In the end, it was Cao Yinyin, Cao Fu, and Zhou Qing who went to Snow Mountain City together.
The place where the Jiaxuan divine ship landed was outside the gate of the Snow Mountain Sect. Zhou Qing and his companions quickly left here, and then drove away on the Tianxing divine ship.
"Every time the Snow Mountain Festival is held, Snow Mountain City is the most lively."
Cao Yinyin said: "Many people will come to Snow Mountain City at this time specifically in the hope of gaining something."
Many forces in Hanzhou gathered at the Snow Mountain Sect at this time. Even if a large number of people were not invited, they would still gather here spontaneously.
As more people from various major forces come, it will undoubtedly inject more vitality into Snow Mountain City, and some places will take the opportunity to operate in order to establish their reputation.
The most important thing is that during this period, many people from the Snow Clan will come out of the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains and bring a lot of treasures to the Snow Mountain City to exchange for what they need.
This attracts a lot of people.
They soon arrived at Snow Mountain City, and Zhou Qing and his group walked into the city.
Only when observing the ice city closely can we find that it is indeed not artificially built, but a natural one.
And it was very high, very high, the tallest city Zhou Qing had ever seen.
Yun Duo opened her eyes wide and looked at everything here. "What a magical city."
Cao Yinyin explained with a smile: "The main body of Snow Mountain City is a ten thousand year old iceberg that was transported from the depths of the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains by a top master. Later, this city was carved out on the foundation of that iceberg."
"And with the power of the formation, the ten thousand year old iceberg will be expanded and fixed, so it will never melt."
She had been to Snow Mountain City before and was quite familiar with the place.
Zhou Qing sighed, it was indeed a world with the power of cultivation.
The iceberg has turned into a city and will never melt.
There is no trace of snow-capped mountains either on the surface or inside the Snow Mountain City. It has completely become a civilized place.
Only after entering the city did I understand why the Snow Mountain City was so high, because there was actually more than one floor inside this ice city.
The middle of it is empty, and you can see the snowy sky, but the four sides are clearly divided into layers, with a total of nine layers.
The height and area of each layer of the city are similar to those of the majestic cities outside. Excluding the hollow part in the middle, this snow mountain city is equivalent to nine cities in one.
It is indeed a strange city.
The buildings in the city are similar to those of other human cities outside, and the streets are very busy with people coming and going.
No, it's not just humans, there are also various kinds of snow tribes mixed in, and there are also many ghosts like An Lang.
After observing the scene in Snow Mountain City for a while, Zhou Qing asked:
"Junior Sister Cao, which floor is the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce on?"
Such a lively place also connects Hanzhou and Shiwan Snow Mountains. The Wanxing Chamber of Commerce must have a branch here.
If Zhou Qing wanted to collect treasures for cultivating the second level of the original combat body, then Wanxing Chamber of Commerce would naturally be the first choice.
It has to be said that this is the strength and charm of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce. Whenever people need it, they will think of it first.
"On the first floor."
Cao Yinyin replied, "The first floor has the most people and is most suitable for the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce. I will take you there, brother."
The few of them blended into the crowd, and before long they arrived at the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, a four-story building covering a large area.
After Zhou Qing and his companions walked in, someone immediately came to greet them. After greeting them, they respectfully asked:
"What do the distinguished guests need?"
Yun Duo and Cao Fu were both wearing the attire of the inner sect of Xuan Du, so their identities were self-evident.
And they seemed to be led by Zhou Qing and the other two. With the eyesight of the people from Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, there was no way they would neglect them.
Zhou Qing said: "I need some treasures, I wonder if there are any here?"
"Please follow me, my dear guest. There will be a steward to serve you."
Cao Yinyin said at the right time, "Brother, I won't go. I'll look around."
"Yes, yes, sir, you go alone."
"Okay."
Zhou Qing nodded and went to make further contact. There was no need for a group of people to follow him. With Cao Yinyin around, he felt at ease with An Lang and Yun Duo.
Led by the service staff, Zhou Qing finally arrived at a quiet room on the third floor.
"Please wait a moment, my dear guest."
The waiter went out, and about ten seconds later, someone else came in.
Zhou Qing looked over and saw a beautiful woman wearing a cloak that covered her exposed shoulders.
After seeing Zhou Qing, the woman smiled and said, "So it's you, the Ninth True Disciple of Xuandu Temple, who has come to visit. My name is Xue Gui."
With the release of the new Dragon and Tiger List, Zhou Qing's reputation has spread even in the remote Snow Mountain City, not to mention that the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce is a force that pays close attention to all kinds of news.
Zhou Qing nodded, "Manager Xue."
Xuegui sat opposite him, and then other people came in and served tea.
"Mr. Zhou is here to attend the Snow Festival, right?"
"I am indeed here with the sect to participate in this grand event. There just so happens to be a Wanxing Chamber of Commerce in Snow Mountain City, so I came to take a look."
"If you need anything, just tell me."
Xue Gui smiled brightly, "Sir, you are a distinguished guest of our Wanxing Chamber of Commerce. I will definitely try my best to meet your needs."
Zhou Qing asked directly: "Does your company have any ancient stone liquid?"
Xuegui pondered for a moment and soon figured out what kind of treasure the ancient stone liquid was.
"This ancient stone liquid is quite rare. We don't have it here originally, but another customer consigned it to sell at the Wanxing Trade Fair tonight."
"If Mr. Zhou needs it, you can buy it tonight."
Zhou Qing didn't expect that he could actually get the news about the ancient stone liquid directly. This was really a surprise.
But this is normal. The Hanxue Festival will attract people from Hanzhou and nearby states and counties, as well as various ethnic groups.
The creatures gathered here are both of high quality and quantity, and the possibility of obtaining treasures that are rarely seen in normal days has indeed greatly increased.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing asked, "Can I communicate with that person privately?"
Xuegui smiled and politely declined Zhou Qing.
"Please forgive me, sir. This is against the rules of our Wanxing Chamber of Commerce. Some customers already know that the Ancient Stone Liquid will appear at the trade fair tonight. If you buy it in advance, it will damage the reputation of Wanxing Chamber of Commerce."
After hearing this, Zhou Qing realized that this was impossible.
When it comes to credibility, there is rarely any room for compromise.
But it’s not a big problem, he can just buy it in the evening.
Not short of money.
