Because human blessings are hard to come by, everyone wants to rely on cultivation to obtain heavenly blessings and then successfully cultivate to become an immortal.
However, the spiritual energy on the mainland became thinner year by year, and the last person to ascend to immortality appeared ten thousand years ago.
Everyone panicked.
Cultivation enhances their abilities and even grants them immortality.
Having experienced this feeling, how could they possibly tolerate growing old?
Therefore, the moment the totem appears in the world, in order to become the savior and receive the blessings of humanity, one must ascend to immortality.
No longer afraid of the unknown Northern Region, these cultivators flocked to this region that couldn't even be fully depicted on a map.
After Sheng Ning finished talking with Yu Ye on the deck that day, the Invincible Sect rarely appeared again.
Cultivators don't need to eat, drink, or relieve themselves. Before setting off, Sheng Ning brought a lot of spiritual fruits, so Bai Ze and the others wouldn't go hungry.
So for the remaining four or five days, Sheng Ning and the others stayed in their rooms.
When the airship reached the northernmost town, Salar.
The city of Sal is located at the northernmost part of the continent. For more than half the year, the climate is extremely cold, making it difficult for ordinary people to survive there.
However, as this town is the only one leading to the Northern Region, it attracts many cultivators every year.
Even in the coldest of places, the city of Sal is still bustling with activity.
As soon as Sheng Ning stepped off the airship, Lu Qing'an pressed her down and draped a cloak over her shoulders.
The thick cloak was very warm. On the mainland, the four seasons are distinct, and winter lasts only two or three months, so there is no need for such a cloak to protect oneself.
I have no idea where Lu Qingan got this outfit from.
Sheng Ning looked helpless and said, "Second Senior Brother, I have a natal fire spirit root."
Moreover, her water and fire spiritual roots are thicker and stronger than the other three spiritual roots.
In such an extremely cold environment, with her fire-type spiritual root, she has no need to worry about freezing to death.
Lu Qing'an hummed in agreement and continued to tie her cloak with his head down. "Whether you have a fire spirit root or not, you have to wear the cloak properly."
As he spoke, fearing the cold wind would blow on her face, he put the hood of his cloak on her head.
Now Sheng Ning was completely covered up.
Even if Shi Yueyao stood right in front of her, she wouldn't recognize her.
Even she herself has to look down to find her way when walking on the street.
With a slight twitch at the corner of her eye, Sheng Ning had not yet spoken when she heard a shout in her ear.
"The last Spirit Grass, anyone want it? Selling it cheap, only 100 spirit stones."
The Spirit Grass, as the name suggests, can help those who never even begin to grasp the basics of cultivation.
As for whether one can cultivate to become an immortal, that depends on that person's fate.
This spirit herb is a priceless treasure on the continent, and one hundred spirit stones is indeed not expensive.
However, if anyone uses their brain, they will realize that even if someone who cannot cultivate encounters an opportunity to begin cultivating, they may not necessarily go far on the path of cultivation.
This spiritual herb will then become useless.
Sheng Ning turned her gaze away from the vendor.
She walked out of the transfer station with several senior students. As soon as she looked up, she saw that there were stalls and vendors everywhere on the street.
The stalls in front of them displayed various treasures rarely seen on the mainland.
The city of Sal not only has an airship transit station, but also many trading venues.
Even though many cultivators never return each year, there are still many who are determined to go to the Northern Region.
Nothing more.
There are just too many treasures in the Northern Region.
As long as a cultivator brings some treasures from the Northern Region out, they can sell them for hundreds to tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones.
As a result, Sala became the largest trading town.
Sheng Ning walked up to a small stall, picked up a spirit fruit at random, and looked up at the vendor, "How much is this fruit?"
The vendor glanced at the fruit in her hand and immediately exclaimed, "Oh my! This is a rare Ice Condensation Fruit on the continent, worth five hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
"Do you want it or not? If not, don't touch it. If you absorb the spiritual energy of my fruit again, where will I go to cry?"
Guan Yunchuan stepped forward upon hearing this.
He reached out and took the Ice Condensation Fruit, tossing it up and down in front of the vendor. "Rare on the mainland? I don't think so."
There's a large area of Ice Condensation Fruit trees planted on the back mountain of the Invincible Sect. They'll only bloom and bear fruit in a few decades, so they're not exactly rare.
If this kind of top-grade spiritual fruit were placed on the mainland, it would only sell for a few dozen top-grade spirit stones at most.
Now that they've landed in Saluo City, the vendors are asking for five hundred high-grade spirit stones right off the bat, clearly trying to extort money from them since they're unfamiliar with the place.
Upon hearing Guan Yunchuan's words, the vendor immediately frowned, put his hands on his hips, and retorted, "You don't think so? Do I need you to see it?"
"If you don't have money, get out of my way! Don't interfere with my business! Go away! Get out of my way!"
This was the first time Sheng Ning had ever seen such a fierce vendor.
She tugged at Guan Yunchuan, who was about to raise his gun, and was about to leave with her fellow disciples when she noticed another stall next to the peddler.
The person setting up the stall was dressed in rags, with messy hair hanging over his shoulders; he looked utterly wretched.
In front of him was only a tattered cloth, upon which were two smooth stones.
Sheng Ning's predecessor was a scientific researcher who was interested in developing new weapons and archaeological fossils.
Before she died, there were several snail fossils on her desk that she had personally flown abroad to bring back.
Upon seeing someone selling stones at a stall, she immediately squatted down, reached out and touched the stone, and asked, "Hello, how much is this stone?"
When the vendor selling spirit fruits saw that Sheng Ning was not buying his top-grade spirit fruits but instead wanted to buy two broken stones, he immediately scoffed disdainfully.
"You dare to come to Sal City when you have no money? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Ye and Guan Yunchuan both pulled out Gatling guns, pointing them directly at his face. "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
When the vendors saw that they were holding high-grade spiritual artifacts, they immediately shut their mouths.
After a long while, feeling unwilling, he muttered to himself, "That's right, you come to Saluo City wanting to go to the Northern Region when you have no money. You can't even get on the ferry if you don't have money!"
Sheng Ning did not answer, but simply tossed his cloak and hat over his shoulder and looked at the person in front of him.
After a moment, she frowned slightly, tilted her head, and said, "Fellow Daoist, haven't we met somewhere before?"
The ragged cultivator slightly raised his head. His hair was disheveled, and Sheng Ning could only vaguely see his eyebrows and eyes, which were covered by his long hair. "It's you!"
“We met in Starfall City. During the monster frenzy, you even gave me a sword manual, do you remember?”
The cultivator was stunned for a while before nodding, "Ah...it's you."
When Sheng Ning saw that he recognized her, her eyes immediately crinkled with laughter. "I didn't expect to see you here again. Are you trying to make a living?"
The monk nodded.
The vendor seemed to have forgotten that a Gatling gun was pointed at his head.
He sneered and laughed, "He's been buying stones here for almost half a month and hasn't sold any. You too, why are you helping out when you have no money? If you have money, you should buy two of my spirit fruits to fill his stomach."
"It's better than just showing concern for him with words here."
