Get a map again
The howling north wind knocked down many walking monks. A blizzard took the lives of the monks brutally and mercilessly, and then left quietly, leaving behind layers of snow to bury the blood and corpses.
Jiang Chanyi in mid-air withdrew her gaze. She had been waiting for several days, but Jin Manlou had never replied to her message, which made her a little anxious.
"Let's find a cave to rest for a while and conserve our spiritual energy."
Flying in the air all the time made them easy targets for public criticism. They had already driven away many cultivators who coveted the Blue Luan Feather. Some even went so far as to directly snatch it away. Jiang Chanyi and Qianluo were no pushovers either. In several battles, they killed many cultivators and consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
"Okay, let's light a fire and roast the beast meat tonight!" Jiang Chanyi was starting to feel a little greedy as she spoke. She hadn't found anything in the secret realm, and after working so hard for so many days, it was time for her to enjoy some food and satisfy her cravings.
She urged her spiritual power, quickly found a cave with relatively high ground, and crawled in. With a wave of her hand, nine fire dragon balls illuminated the dark cave, bringing a burst of warmth.
Qianluo looked carefully and saw two single beds in front of her, a dining table with tableware neatly placed on it, and skewered animal meat on the grill. Jiang Chanyi had already skillfully sprinkled a handful of cumin and applied sauce, which made her mouth water. The air was filled with the smell of fireworks and delicious food.
"Don't treat yourself badly when you are away from home!" Jiang Chanyi is a hedonist. He hates sitting in the cave to practice the most. He likes to carry a bed, bedding, sofa, iron pot, iron stove, various seasonings and various animal meats with him.
"Even if we're in a world of ice and snow, we have to live a good life. Ah, it smells so good, it smells so good! This tiger meat is so delicious!"
The other party handed over two skewers of meat while speaking. Qianluo took the skewers and swallowed hard: "Ah... Thank you."
Qianluo casually cast a basic formation at the entrance to prevent the wind and snow from coming in. Steaming hot broth, delicious skewers of meat, the flames burning the firewood, making crackling sounds. Outside the cave, the wind and snow were raging, the north wind was howling, but inside the cave was extremely quiet, with only the sounds of two people busy eating.
They don't look like they are here for adventure at all, but rather for tourism.
The two men ate and drank their fill, and the beast meat transformed into spiritual energy, bringing a burst of warmth. Their limbs and bones felt as if they were soaking in a hot spring, and they felt so comfortable that they wanted to hum.
Qian Luo glanced at the lazy Jiang Chanyi next to her. She was curled up in the sofa, reading a novel on her Lingwang phone. Her profile was gentle, and her wheat-colored skin, illuminated by the Flame Dragon Ball, looked like flowing amber, sweet and charming, soft and harmless, not at all like someone who had just killed a monk.
Jiang Chanyi killed faster, more ruthlessly, and more accurately than she did. If Qianluo's enemy was Jiang Chanyi, it would definitely be a fierce battle. Fortunately, they were teammates.
Qianluo was lying in the warm and comfortable big bed, touching a small piece of map, thinking about how to take it out, what excuse to make, or just not explain.
Just as she was thinking, a sound came from outside the cave.
"Second brother, please help me! I can't hold on any longer, pills, pills!"
It seemed that someone was injured... Qian Luo, who was already in the late Jindan stage, released her spiritual sense and saw two injured male cultivators. One was tall, bearded, and strong, while the other was as thin as a stick, with a scar on his left cheek and a fierce look in his eyes. He did not seem like a kind-hearted person.
The two people were covered in the smell of blood, and they didn't know whether it was someone else's blood or their own blood. The white snow was stained, and the snow was soaked in red, which was extremely dazzling.
"Here, it's a fourth-grade rejuvenation pill!" The tall monk seemed to have no strength left. His red, frozen hands were clawing at the hard snow. The hot air he exhaled instantly turned into cold wind, making him shiver all over.
"Damn it! I actually ran into such a cruel little girl. I felt something was wrong the moment I laid eyes on her. She looked cold and icy, and she was carrying a coffin on her back. It was terrifying to look at. Could she be some evil cultivator or some puppet master?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. One of the brothers was called Zhao Dashan, and the other was called Zhao Dahai. Killing people and stealing treasures were common things to them along the way, but they never expected that they would fall into the hands of a woman.
Zhao Dashan slapped the snowy mountain with a "bang". The rustling snow filled the gaps in his clothes, making him shiver. "It's all your fault, second brother. You can't change your habit of eating shit. One day you will die at the hands of a woman!"
Zhao Dahai has no other fetish except lust, extremely lustful. He can't even walk with the sight of this female cultivator, let alone one who is so beautiful!
Zhao Dahai was also embarrassed by what his brother said. He rubbed his face and said sullenly: "I know, brother, I won't dare to do it again next time!"
"Second brother, let's go quickly. It's windy and snowy here. Let's find a place to hide and then make a long-term plan." The eldest brother Zhao glared at him. The second brother Zhao tactfully came over, helped his brother, and stood up tremblingly.
"There's a nice smell! The smell of barbecue! Am I smelling it right?" Zhao Laoer's nose twitched, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed his saliva. He hadn't eaten animal meat for a long time. He had been in this snowy place for several days, either killing people or staying with corpses. He hadn't enjoyed it properly.
Boss Zhao opened his eyes dazedly and asked, "Is there a cave ahead?"
"There is a cultivator inside!" Zhao Laoer rolled his eyes and smiled at his eldest brother. The two brothers understood each other's meaning and quickened their pace to get closer.
…
Qianluo and Jiang Chanyi in the cave withdrew their consciousness and looked at each other: "Now we are going to have a good show."
Jiang Chanyi clapped her hands and hummed a song in a good mood. She took the skewers of meat on the grill, turned them over and brushed them with seasoning. A domineering smell swept over her, and the meat was sizzling with oil, which made people give a thumbs up.
She took off the wine gourd from her waist and drank while grilling meat, feeling very comfortable.
Suddenly, a wailing sound was heard: "Hey! Fellow Daoist, help me!"
Qian Luo, who was waiting on the side, didn't understand what was going on, so she hurried to the cave entrance and saw two people covered in dust and snow. Their hands and cheeks were red from the cold, and there was blood on their bodies. It looked like they had been through a big battle.
When Zhao Laoer saw the two beautiful female cultivators, his eyes widened and he forgot his brother's instructions. He was stunned for a long time and laughed foolishly for a long time.
"Cough cough cough!" When Boss Zhao saw his brother's deathly look, he knew that his old illness had come back again. He kicked his brother's left foot with his right foot and glared at him.
Zhao Laoer finally came to his senses and stammered, pretending to be pitiful. "Daoist friends, help us! My two brothers were ambushed by an evil cultivator. We have used up all our elixirs and talismans. We are at our wit's end, so we are asking for your help. Daoist friends, please be kind and help us. We have a map to the Frost Blue Secret Realm. If you let us in, we brothers will hand it over to you. No empty promises!"
"We can swear an oath in our hearts!" Boss Zhao immediately added, fearing that the female cultivator in front of him would not believe him. He spoke earnestly and looked pitiful, begging the other party to soften her heart.
Qian Luo saw that the two people were only at the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, yet they dared to come out and cause trouble. She turned back and exchanged glances with Jiang Chanyi, then turned around and said, "Okay, take out the map. After we two confirm that it is correct, we will let you in."
They both thought the two men were talking nonsense. Did they buy the map wholesale? How could they have it? If they did, why didn't the attacker take it? Furthermore, Qianluo had just overheard their conversation; it was clear they had sexual intentions. Their attack on the female cultivator failed, and they were beaten up instead!
These two people have shifty eyes and bad intentions, but they want to pretend to be pitiful to trick her and Jiang Chanyi, so she'll just have fun with them.
Who knew that these two people actually took out a genuine map of the Frost Blue Secret Realm. The map of the Frost Blue Secret Realm cannot be copied or remembered. Because of the special materials or some special spells added, you can tell whether it is real or fake at a glance.
The map before her emitted a pale blue fluorescence. It could not be reproduced, nor could its contents be memorized. Qian Luo narrowed her eyes, somewhat incredulous: "It's actually true..."
Seeing that the plan was halfway done, Zhao Lao Da and Zhao Lao Er smiled and said, "My two fairies, we brothers are both honest people. We would never use a fake map to deceive you. Besides, you can tell whether it is real or fake at a glance."
Boss Zhao started coughing: "Cough cough cough, I..."
Zhao Lao Er looked anxious, staring at the girl across the formation, his eyes full of obsession: "Fairy, can you let my brother go in and hide from the wind and snow?"
Qian Luo got goose bumps from him calling her "fairy" all the time, but for the sake of the map she had to let them in. Her expression softened a bit, "Fellow Daoist, please come in."
Zhao Lao Da and Zhao Lao Er finally entered the cave as they wished. A wave of hot air hit their faces, making them feel comfortable as if they were soaking in a warm hot spring. They were a little unhappy. They were killing people and setting fires outside, but these two girls were living a peaceful and quiet life!
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across their faces, but they quickly calmed down. Pretending to be restrained, they sat down on a nearby rock and handed over the map with both hands. "Please take a look, fairies! This is a map we both obtained by chance. We fought tooth and nail to protect it, and that's why the evil thief failed!"
I have never heard of anyone taking the initiative to deliver treasures to someone's door. If someone is too nice to you without any reason, he is either a villain or a thief.
Jiang Chanyi put down the wine gourd and handed over a plate of greasy barbecue. He pushed his map with the plate and said in a cheerful voice, "Hey, don't worry. We didn't let you in here just for your precious."
Hearing this, the Zhao brothers laughed dryly, "Of course not! Of course not! The two fairies are beautiful and kind-hearted. They are the benefactors we met upon entering this secret realm. They saved us from the storm. It's a great favor! We brothers are not ungrateful. We present this map to you with both hands!"
Qianluo took the baking tray and placed it on the table. The tempting smell hit them in the face, making the two people, whose original spiritual power was unstable and hungry, a little distracted and unable to refuse.
Jiang Chanyi raised her eyebrows: "Are you so afraid that I'll poison it?" She picked up a skewer with one hand and took a bite. The meat was delicious and spicy. In the middle of winter, a bite of meat and a sip of wine warmed her heart and lungs.
Seeing Jiang Chanyi eat it, the two brothers felt relieved. They took the skewers and started to eat them with grunts. The rich fat melted in their mouths and turned into rich spiritual power that flowed into their bodies.
Their eyes lit up, and they ate voraciously while praising, "Fairy, what a great cook! It's so delicious!"
Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, Jiang Chanyi also smiled happily, with curved eyebrows and eyes. She drank the spiritual wine, fiddled with the pendant on the wine gourd, and her eyes moved.
After they finished eating, Qianluo asked them, "We know nothing about the map. I wonder if you two fellow Taoists can help us solve this puzzle?"
The two brothers, having eaten the spirit flesh, gained strength and spoke louder. Unable to suppress the anger in their eyes, they feigned kindness. "We also stumbled upon the map, with three points marked on it. These three points are the three whirlpools leading to the first level of the secret realm."
Jiang Chanyi was surprised: "Are we not on the first level of the secret realm yet?"
Zhao Lao Er saw that the female cultivator had a pretty face despite not having fair skin, and he couldn't help but let out a lewd smile. "Hehe, that's right, we're only at the outskirts of the secret realm now, and haven't even reached the first level. I heard that there are many techniques and treasures on the first level, but the things on the first level are way different from those on the second and third levels."
Qian Luo pretended to be curious: "Could it be that this fellow Daoist has been to the second and third floors?"
Zhao Lao Er was so moved by the fair and beautiful female cultivator that he blurted out everything, "Of course, but we were lucky last time and quickly entered the first level. As everyone knows, the Frost Blue Secret Realm is the remains of the Snow Country, so there are a large number of ice sculptures on the first level. These ice sculptures are not just for viewing, they have the cultivation level of the Core Formation Stage. You can't look into their eyes, otherwise you will trigger the restrictions."
Jiang Chanyi became interested and moved closer: "There are ice sculptures in the Jindan stage guarding it. Are there any good things on the first floor?"
As Zhao Lao Er saw her approach, her features became brighter and more magnificent. He seemed to be able to smell her fragrance. He took a deep sniff and was completely mesmerized by her. He spat out all the fragrance at once: "Of course there are good things. There are secret treasures left by the cultivators of the Snowland Kingdom. As for the second floor, my eldest brother and I luckily entered it, but before we could find anything, we were chased by other cultivators..."
Jiang Chanyi's obsidian eyes flashed as she looked at the monk in front of her who was completely bewitched by her, and laughed in her heart: She had never thought that one day she would have to use a beauty trap.
Seeing that they had almost gotten enough information, Qian Luo spoke up, "By the way, what does the thief you're talking about look like? Tell us so we can be more vigilant."
The two brothers looked at each other, clenched their fists, and after eating the spirit meat, their strength was restored. Instead of describing the thief's appearance, they changed the subject.
Boss Zhao's eyes turned and he said, "It's fate that we met in this icy and snowy place. If you don't mind, could you please let us two brothers join your team?"
He handed over the map with both hands: "This fellow Daoist has the highest cultivation level, so this map should be kept by you."
Jiang Chanyi stared at the two brothers in front of her and smiled gently. The brothers looked kind and sincere, not pretending. She relaxed her brows and said, "Since you both say so, I will accept it with reluctance. I will take care of everything from now on."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The two people nodded rapidly, their lips curled up, their eyes flashed, their gazes fell from Jiang Chanyi's face to the map in her hand, and their smile deepened.
Qianluo also took the map and looked clearly at the points marked on it. The nearest point to them was five kilometers south. There was a big snow-capped mountain there. There were colorful cloth bags standing in front of the mountain, which was very eye-catching.
I happened to pass by it while flying and happened to remember it.
"That's right, let's go there tomorrow." Qian Luo and Jiang Chanyi discussed without any reservations about the Zhao brothers.
The Zhao brothers looked at each other in bewilderment: "What's going on? The medicine hasn't taken effect yet. This shouldn't be happening!"
"This is a top-grade knockout potion I bought with 100 mid-grade spirit stones. It just knocked out a late-stage Jindan male cultivator a few days ago!" Zhao Lao Er scratched his head, "It can't be fake!"
Hearing this, Boss Zhao frowned. If the medicine was not fake, then the worst possible scenario was that the two of them had discovered that their motives were impure and they had bad intentions.
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he shuddered in the warm cave! When did they find out? Then what about the meat they just ate...
"Ugh..." Thinking of this, he immediately put his fingers into his mouth, began to retching, and tried his best to scratch his throat.
Jiang Chanyi put away the map and stomped on the man's face with a "bang" and said with a forced smile: "Stop vomiting, you're ruining my carpet."
Boss Zhao, who was being stepped on, said, "Fellow Daoist, calm down! It was our blindness that caused you two to provoke us. We were forced to do this for the sake of our cultivation. We promise to leave immediately and will not waste any time. As for the map, you two can keep it for now. We will not force you to do anything!"
Zhao Laoer saw the opportunity and was about to escape, but Qianluo slashed a sword across his neck, forcing out a few drops of blood. The extremely glaring blood dripped onto the wool blanket as white as snow.
The girl narrowed her eyes and said: "Haven't you heard of thieves eating thieves?"
Damn it! The two brothers cursed inwardly. They had smeared a drug on the map, and many people had fallen for the drug along the way because of their greed for the treasures in the secret realm. They didn't expect to run into a tough opponent now, and they were defeated by the opponent!
"We both have a lot of useful information, don't kill us!" At the moment, the most valuable thing is the information about the secret realm. Unfortunately, his acting skills are too poor and no one believes him.
One was in the late Jindan stage, the other in the middle Jindan stage. Both brothers were in the middle Jindan stage, so they could only sneak up on them. But these two resorted to underhanded tactics, sprinkling soul-locking powder on the skewers. Now, they were completely limp, without any spiritual power, and could only be slaughtered like ordinary people.
With a "bang", Jiang Chanyi grabbed Boss Zhao by the collar and threw him and his brother together. Both of them had cloth strips stuffed in their mouths. They sobbed and could not make any sound.
She clapped her hands, looked at the frail girl beside her, and asked her opinion: "What are you going to do with these two people?"
Qian Luo was a little confused: "What should we do?" The two of them had also pried out a lot of useful information from their mouths, but keeping it would be a nuisance.
Jiang Chanyi looked at her, said "Oh", and said calmly: "I plan to kill her."
Qian Luo came back to her senses and blinked. Could it be that Jiang Chanyi thought that she did not kill, so she asked for her opinion, thinking that she would be soft-hearted and let the two brothers go?
She felt that she needed to change the stereotype in Jiang Chanyi's heart, so she drew out the cold and shining Dragon Roar Sword. Her eyes turned cold, and her beautiful face looked like a cold-faced Shura. The sword shadow reflected a frosty color.
The girl didn't even blink as she struck the brothers in the throat with one strike of the sword. The speed was so fast that before the two brothers could react, they had already died. Two spots of blood appeared on the tip of the sword, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Outside, heavy snow fell, leaving the vast expanse of white earth looking pristine. Inside the cave, pools of red blood stained the snow-white wool carpet and the two men's tracksuits.
