In such a desperate situation, it would be difficult for ordinary cultivators to hold on, let alone two little kids.

However, what shocked the old man in white robe was that the brother and sister only walked nine miles out of ten miles.

The plum tree he mentioned was less than a mile away.

In the first half of the journey, Jiang Zhige cut meat for food and burned clothes for warmth, allowing Nangong Rou to survive a snowstorm in the cave.

In the second half of the journey, as a snowstorm raged, Nangong Rou used her body to block the snow and carried Jiang Zhige on her back step by step until the last moment.

In fact, it would be impossible for the brother and sister to get here without either of them.

If it was only Jiang Zhige, he would have lost his will in the cave, given up resistance and frozen to death.

If it was only Nangong Rou, she would be buried in the snow the first time the blizzard came.

The old man in white robe sighed deeply, then carried the brother and sister in his arms and flew towards the east.

"Don't worry. I'm glad to see you two brothers and sisters today. Even if I die, I won't let you die."

The old man in white robe had a determined look on his face. While flying in the air, he took out two pills from his storage ring and gave them to the brother and sister to take.

The pill was bluish-white in color, with three layers of pill patterns all over it. The moment it was taken out, a strong pill fragrance filled the air.

"It turns out that the so-called opportunity is just a test. I was wondering how the Demon Emperor and Fairy Nangong survived in such a desperate situation."

“Speaking of which, this person is only at the Yuanhai realm, but he actually took out the seventh-grade elixir Zhou Xin Dan. He is really willing to spend.”

“If it weren’t for the gift of the elixir, Fairy Nangong and the Demon Emperor would have probably frozen to death in the snow.”

In the supreme cultivation system of the human race, it is divided into the body refining stage, the spiritual martial arts realm, the dao seed realm, the yuan sea realm, and the soul-breaking realm.

Further on are the Transcendental Realm, the Mysterious Realm, the Sage Realm, the Mysterious Realm, and the Rotation Period.

Those who have reached the Wenxuan realm can be called Immortal Lords, and everyone present is at least at the initial Wenxuan stage.

The Rotation Period is also known as the Half-Emperor Realm. The Heavenly Wheel rotates nine times endlessly. Nangong Rou is a strong man in the Half-Emperor Realm, but perhaps because of her inner demons, she is still unable to comprehend the power of the root of the Great Dao, and has not been able to touch the threshold of breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm.

Finally, there is the realm of the Great Emperor where Jiang Zhige is. He can be called the Lord of the Realm or the Immortal Emperor, and he can destroy a small world with just a wave of his hand.

Even in the heaven, one of the three major divine realms, only three great emperors can be born at most.

For a Yuanhai Realm cultivator, ordinary seventh-grade elixirs are extremely precious, and two extremely difficult-to-refine Zhou Xin Dan pills are worth no less than half of his fortune.

If given to two mortals, it can almost have the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life.

"Master."

Nangong Rou had a complicated expression. Her memory of that year was vague. She only knew that Yao Qianji had saved her and Jiang Zhige's lives, but she didn't know how much Yao Qianji had paid.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Zhige woke up in a daze.

The next moment, he sat up abruptly and looked around hurriedly for Nangong Rou.

Jiang Zhige quickly found the little girl lying not far away, staggered over and hugged Nangong Rou.

At first glance, Nangong Rou looked calm and her breathing was steady, and it was obvious that she was just sleeping.

Jiang Zhige let out a long sigh of relief, holding Nangong Rou and began to look around.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that there were birds singing and flowers blooming all around, the temperature was just right, and there was no trace of wind or snow.

"woke up?"

Before Jiang Zhige could come to his senses, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.

Jiang Zhige turned his head and saw that the old man in white robe was sitting on a stone bench not far away, with a plum tree filled with fragrance next to him.

Seeing the face of the old man in white robe, Jiang Zhige instantly understood what had happened.

Not only did he not die at this time, the injury on his left leg had also healed, which was obviously something only an immortal could do.

Jiang Zhige gently put Nangong Rou back, stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Immortal."

He finally found the plum tree ten miles east of the city, but unfortunately he didn't get there by walking step by step.

The old man in white robe sighed, shook his head and said, "No need to thank me. If it weren't for me, how could you risk crossing the ten-mile snowfield to seek an opportunity?"

"No, the boy ventured out of the city to avoid being hunted by his enemies. It has nothing to do with the immortal."

When it comes to opportunity, Jiang Zhige's heart trembles.

At this point, even a fool can guess what the opportunity the old man in white robe is referring to.

But he failed to seize the opportunity. Instead of walking the ten miles on his own, he had to rely on the old man in white robe to rescue him.

"So, you don't care about the opportunity I mentioned?"

The old man in white robe stroked his white beard and looked at Jiang Zhige with a smile.

Jiang Zhige looked unwilling, lowered his head and said: "I care, of course I care, but I am just a kid."

For him, being alive was a blessing, so why should he ask for an opportunity?

"Since you care, why don't you become my disciple and seek immortal fate?"

Jiang Zhige's pupils shrank when he heard that, and he looked up at the old man in white robe in disbelief.

He was stunned for three full seconds before he knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "I, Jiang Zhige, would like to take the immortal as my master!"

For a beggar, becoming an immortal is literally changing one's fate.

However, when he finally found the way to change his fate, Jiang Zhige no longer had his previous ambitions.

All he thought about at this moment was that he would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and that he would be able to better protect Nangong Rou.

"The sun and the moon are for brightness, and stopping war is for strength. What a good name. Who gave it to you?"

The old man in white robe nodded and smiled. Jiang Zhige was humble, polite, loyal and righteous, which was exactly what he liked.

Not to mention that Jiang Zhige has some talent for cultivation, even if Jiang Zhige is a waste, he is willing to keep him by his side.

"The old beggar who took me in said that the two countries have been at war for years and the people have suffered because of it. He hoped that I could join the army and make meritorious contributions in the future, so as to put an end to the war between the two countries with force."

Jiang Zhige sighed secretly. In the past, it was difficult for him to even stay alive, let alone serve in the army and make achievements.

The old man in white robe stood up and walked over, stretched out his hand to help Jiang Zhige up, and smiled softly: "That's right, but after entering the immortal gate, you will not only settle the war between the two countries, but also stop the disputes between immortals and demons, and determine the ambitions of all living beings in the world."

If Jiang Zhige had his level of cultivation, it would only take a few words to quell the war between the two countries.

Therefore, Jiang Zhige should have longer-term goals.

Jiang Zhige was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he realize that after entering the Immortal Gate, he would be able to do much more than just have enough food.

"My boy, you understand that the greatest heroes serve their country and their people, and the greatest immortals guard the gates of heaven, suppress demons, and pacify the chaotic world."

Jiang Zhige leaned forward and saluted, his expression gradually becoming firm.

In the past, he didn't have the ability to quell the war between the two countries, but now, he has the ability to do something even more far-reaching.

The old man in white robe was pleased, nodded and said with a smile: "Good boy, I was right about you."

A beggar was worried about his livelihood not long ago. After he became capable, he did not think about becoming rich and powerful, but about benefiting all living beings.
