And on Jiang Tian's side, together with Lin Yang, after a few days, they crossed the mountains and arrived outside Icebound City without any danger.
This was the northern part of the empire, located on a plateau. The mountains and ridges were covered in snow and ice. The air was so cold that one's breath would turn into ice. Mortals had to wear thick animal skin clothing to keep out the cold.
Spirit herbs were blooming on the various mountain peaks in the surroundings. Orchids swayed gently, and the spiritual energy here was ten times denser than in Xianzhi Forest.
Snow lotus, ice hibiscus and other Spirit Herbs of the ice element were of high quality and could be used by Soul Formation Cultivators.
The most eye-catching thing was a gigantic pill furnace that pierced through the clouds and into the horizon. It was at least a thousand feet tall and appeared before the two of them.
The cauldron was crystal clear and looked like it was made of ice. It was a spectacular sight.
"This is the second cauldron of the Ancient Medicine Hall! It's so tall that it's almost as tall as the surrounding mountains. Can it be used? Or is it just a simple sculpture? "
Lin Yang looked at it excitedly and clicked his tongue in wonder.
This was the territory of the Beijiang Duke. Although he had heard about it, it was his first time here because of his family's bad relationship with the Beijiang Duke.
An old cultivator who was passing by explained, "This is real.
It's the treasure of the Ancient Medicine Divine Lord. It was left here after the Divine Lord passed away. Many Heavenly Lords and Immortal Lords have come here in the past tens of thousands of years, but they couldn't take it away. It's said that only 'Sacred Alchemy Masters' can refine this cauldron. "
He is sitting on a huge Snow Qilin, holding a huge red wine gourd, and sipping wine. On the back of the Qilin, there is a bamboo basket the size of a water tank, which is filled with all kinds of fresh herbs. It seems that he should be a herbalist or something like that.
"Sacred Alchemy Master? I wonder if He Chuang can reach that level … "
Lin Yang murmured subconsciously.
"He Chuang of the Xianzhi Branch of the Imperial Medicine Hall?"
After getting confirmation, the old man's face showed a touch of contempt. He smiled and said, "He's just a Nascent Soul Cultivator and a Soul Formation Cultivator at most. He's just a Heavenly Alchemy Master. Now, only the Master of the Ancient Medicine Hall, Alchemy Saint Gu He, can use it. He's the only one in the entire continent! "
"Damn, this magical artifact is so terrifying!"
Lin Yang suddenly became a muggle.
"Looking at the two of you, this should be your first time in Icebound City. This old man would like to remind you. "
The old man was a kind person, so he kindly reminded him, "Don't worry.
"Icebound City is very important to the Hall of Ancient Medicine. Due to the extreme cold, it is convenient to store medicinal herbs here. Thus, the Hall of Ancient Medicine's warehouse is located here. It is ranked second in the continent, second only to the Mountain of Ancient Medicine. But in terms of the abundance of medicinal herbs, it even surpasses the Ancient Herb Mountain City! "
His expression was stern and his gaze was slightly solemn. He sighed and said,
"I heard that Gu He's daughter, the Goddess of the Ancient Medicine Hall, Miss Gu Xuan, is the chief alchemist here. She has more than ten Soul Formation alchemists following her. Therefore, although this Icebound City did not look big, the water was too deep, even deeper than the Eastern Empire's Imperial City. Nascent Soul Stage cultivators are common and Soul Formation Stage cultivators will occasionally appear. There might even be Void Return cultivators. You have to be careful and don't offend any of them. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you! "
When Lin Yang heard this, he repeatedly nodded. After the old man finished speaking, he rode Xue Qilin and hummed a tune as he entered the city.
There were no armored guards within a hundred miles of Icebound City. However, it was orderly and no one dared to start a fight here.
Even the nobles and the imperial family had to abide by the law.
The reason was simple. The history of Icebound City was longer than that of the Empire. It was a leased city. Although it was on the Empire's territory, the Empire had never really occupied this area. The Hall of Ancient Medicine had the final say in everything.
"Let's disperse the Art of Deceiving the Heavens!"
When the carriage arrived at the city gate, Jiang Tian smiled indifferently. His fat body became tall and straight, and his chubby face became thin. His facial features were deep, and he still looked the same as he did in the past.
"Isn't this too eye-catching? Brother, don't be so rash. Although Icebound City belongs to the Hall of Ancient Medicine, the surrounding area belongs to the Duke of Beijiang. It is like an isolated island in the ocean. Once we buy the herbs and leave the city, we will be in trouble! "
Lin Yang's face changed wildly and turned pale.
So what if Jiang Tian was a divine Nascent Soul cultivator?
This was the territory of the Duke of Beijiang. He could summon a dozen Semi-God Realm cultivators here. Who could stop him?
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen!"
Jiang Tian took out a piece of spicy dried dragon fish, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed slowly.
As he ate the snacks made by his daughter, he felt as if his daughter was by his side. His heart felt warm.
"I beg you. Although Guo Chuandong is fatter and uglier, for your safety, please bear with it for the time being!"
At this moment, Lin Yang was trembling. His eyes were red and he was about to cry.
"Silly boy, don't cry. Don't worry! As soon as we come into contact with the people from the Hall of Ancient Medicine, we will be treated as guests. When we return, they will escort us all the way back! Do you think the Duke of Beijiang will dare to touch someone who is valued by the Hall of Ancient Medicine? "
Jiang Tian smiled calmly and patted Lin Yang's head like a loving father.
Not only did he not change back, but he also changed Lin Yang back to his original form.
"I'll throw it. Can you stop dreaming?"
Seeing this, Lin Yang really cried. "Brother, this is your first time in this continent. Don't you know the situation of the Hall of Ancient Medicine? They are one of the top sacred grounds in the entire continent. They don't care about the Eastern Empire at all, let alone us.
"Escort? They might not even sell it to us. I'm afraid we'll be lucky if we can even meet the person in charge! "
Facing Jiang Tian, Lin Yang felt like he was about to break down.
"Cry. Cry. It's not a crime to cry!"
Jiang Tian chuckled. "If you're afraid, go home! I'll go get the medicine myself! "
"I want to go home, but can I? I didn't bring a single guard with me. I'm just a Golden Core cultivator. I'm not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth! "
Lin Yang beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying: "Brother, you, you are putting me on the fire to roast. You want me to be driven into a corner to temper my dao heart, but you don't have to be so cruel!"
Jiang Tian only smiled and did not say anything.
"Sigh, I'm still following you. Let's walk this path to the end. You want to die, right? Why do you have to drag me down with you? Are you really afraid of being too lonely on the road to the netherworld? In fact, if you die, how can I not burn offerings for you? I'll even burn that out-of-print book of mine for you! "
Seeing this, Lin Yang was helpless. He could only sigh and go into the city with Jiang Tian to look for He Chuang.
