From the moment it appeared, in the short time it took for half an incense stick to burn, a violent snowstorm began to wreak havoc in the entire secret medicine realm!
Chu Chen, who was in the cave, couldn't help but shiver. A touch of horror immediately appeared in his heart. The place he chose to dig the cave was very particular. This was a somewhat sunken little cave, surrounded by relatively tall stones and small hills. Outside the cave, scattered stones were scattered like stars in the sky, faintly forming a natural array.
If wind blew, these scattered stones would resist, divide, weaken, and impact each other, weakening the wind by more than ninety percent. Finally, when the wind blew to the entrance of the cave, there would be less than ten percent of the wind's power left, greatly increasing the safety and warmth of the inside of the cave.
Even in such a perfect cave, when the wind howled outside, he could still feel waves of cold wind, enough to peel off bones and cut flesh, pouring in, causing him to involuntarily circulate his spirit power to feel slightly better.
Just ten percent of the wind's power was enough to make Chu Chen, whose physical body had already reached a certain level, unable to bear it. Then, how powerful was this snowstorm? It was simply unimaginable!
It must be known that with Chu Chen's cultivation, he had long been immune to both heat and cold. Generally, in places of ice and snow like the Great Frozen Snow Mountain, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort!
As time passed, the power of the snowstorm in the entire secret medicine realm continued to increase. After a quarter of an hour, a strange cold feeling suddenly emerged from the depths of his meridians, startling him. The surging spiritual energy instantly swept over, and only then did the strange cold feeling completely dispel.
Strange, it was really too strange. Generally, a cold feeling would be first felt from the skin, then to the flesh, then to the meridians.
However, the cold in this secret medicine realm didn't invade from the outside, but instead spread from the inside out, directly appearing in the meridians, blood vessels, and bone marrow of the human body, then gradually spreading. If one didn't circulate their spirit power in time to dispel it, even if they didn't wear the thickest and warmest clothes, they would quickly freeze to death!
This trial was purely a test of the alchemist's cultivation. The deeper the alchemist's cultivation, the faster they could dispel the cold. If one's cultivation was insufficient, once the frost accumulated in one's body, the final result would definitely be to be frozen into an ice sculpture!
This strange and broken place!
Chu Chen cursed inwardly. He suddenly recalled that his Taiyi Purple Blood Furnace naturally contained the Taiyi Purple Fire. It was the best treasure to dispel this inner chill. His eyes lit up and he was about to open his storage ring to take out the furnace, but in the next moment, his expression suddenly froze! The storage ring, which could be opened with a thought, was now as hard as a piece of divine metal. There was no way to open it!
A dense restrictive power lingered around the storage ring, completely sealing the space inside. This was a spatial restriction unique to the Secret Medicine Realm. It prohibited all storage rings and spatial storage items from being used.
"How ruthless …"
Chu Chen clicked his tongue a few times and suddenly felt helpless. All the items that could keep him warm, such as edible pills, were all stored in his storage ring. Now, he couldn't use anything. He could only rely on his own strength to endure!
Time slowly passed. The entire Secret Medicine Realm was dark and gloomy. It was completely filled with an unprecedented snowstorm. As time passed, Chu Chen gradually realized that the Secret Medicine Realm seemed to be very different from the outside world. The most obvious feature was that the consumption of spiritual energy and physical strength was especially fast.
In the outside world, the spiritual energy in his body could maintain warmth for a full hour after circulating one cycle. However, in this place, the spiritual energy would completely dissipate after a quarter of an hour at most. He had to circulate his spiritual energy once more. Moreover, as time passed, the duration of this spiritual energy would become shorter and shorter.
More importantly, as time passed, Chu Chen's stomach began to feel hungry. This discovery immediately made him smile bitterly. With his current cultivation, he was comparable to a Void Spring Stage expert. When such an expert cultivated, his body would automatically absorb spiritual energy from the void to replenish his energy consumption. Therefore, even if he didn't eat for ten days or half a month, he wouldn't feel hungry.
When a cultivator cultivated to a certain level, they could even reach the legendary realm of "inedia". Even if they didn't eat anything, they could still survive.
Now, after such a short period of time, he actually felt a bit hungry. This was simply unimaginable in the past. It had to be known that for a cultivator of his cultivation, eating had become a habit. It was purely to satisfy the desire for good food!
Although Chu Chen was currently in the cave and couldn't see the situation outside, he could already guess that the alchemists who couldn't find a place to hide had already crushed their jade talismans and turned into rays of spiritual light, leaving this terrifying Secret Medicine Realm.
Even if they found the alchemists in the cave, if the location of the cave wasn't good, they would probably leave because they couldn't withstand the cold.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help but want to see the situation outside. Thus, with waves of bone-chilling icy wind above his head, he went to the entrance of the cave and poked his head out to take a look.
From afar, in the dark snowstorm, three lonely mountains stood tall.
At the top of the mountain, three dazzling figures stood silently like comets. They were surrounded by extremely rich spiritual light from head to toe, shining brightly. Still, no one dared to step in and fight for it.
When he looked at the other two small mountains, he found that Huangfu Yun's small mountain was still impregnable. The alchemists were hiding in the cave, and the spiritual light emitted from their bodies spread out, linking together and surrounding the entire small mountain.
It seemed that these people had completely joined forces and worked together to lay down a layer of spiritual light shield to block the snowstorm. Everyone's will was like an impregnable fortress, and they worked together. For a time, the violent snowstorm couldn't affect them.
On the other small mountain, Li Taixin, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the Spirit Spring, had disappeared. Instead, he was replaced by a vigorous bald man.
This scene surprised Chu Chen. Li Taixin was ranked fourth on the list of substitute disciples and could be considered the strongest person below the Spirit spring stage. Unexpectedly, his place was snatched away. It seemed that this year's batch of new disciples of the Medicine Palace were crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There were some hidden experts that couldn't be underestimated!
In addition, there were only a few disciples left in the wilderness. As Chu Chen expected, most of the disciples who had nowhere to hide had already evacuated.
