"I have offended you just now. Please forgive me, Senior Brother."
Li Changshou's expression was calm as he sat at the front of the large gourd. He looked at Youqin Genya, who was cupping his fists and bowing his head. Although he wanted to complain, he could only say that it was fine.
Li Changshou sensed that the gaze on him was no longer filled with disdain and dissatisfaction. Instead …
It was filled with sympathy and pity.
"Changshou." Immortal Jiujiu coughed and said earnestly, "This should be an inner demon. Perhaps it was caused by cultivating in the mountains with your Master all year round."
"Senior Brother Changshou." Yuan Qing floated over from the side and took out a bottle of pills. He said softly, "This is a pill that clears the heart and concentrates the mind. Perhaps it will help with your illness, Senior Brother."
"Thank you. I appreciate it."
Li Changshou smiled awkwardly. Yuan Qing immediately understood what was going on and skillfully changed the topic.
Li Changshou took the opportunity to observe their reactions.
Yuwen Ling did not pay attention to this little farce. He sat there quietly with his eyes closed. He was very calm.
Liu Yan 'er looked at him with sympathy. Wang Ji looked at him with a sorrowful expression.
He was probably saying:
This Senior Brother (Junior Brother) has an ordinary cultivation potential and has such an inner demon. It will be a luxury for him to find a Dao partner in the future. His cultivation life is very difficult.
Cultivating with a Dao partner was quite common in the Duxian Sect.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yuan Qing retreated behind the gourd. Wang Ji took the initiative to talk to him.
Li Changshou only smiled throughout and did not say much.
He felt that apart from Yuan Qing, the other disciples of the same generation who were focused on cultivation were unexpectedly naive despite their age …
That was right. They were the "top students" among the disciples of the same generation. They spent most of their time on cultivation and did not socialize much.
This small disturbance quickly came to an end.
Not long after, the gourd became quiet again. Everyone continued to meditate and cultivate. Li Changshou picked up the scroll again and read it with great interest. His mood was not affected at all.
Immortal Jiujiu crossed her arms and sat cross-legged at the very front. At this moment, she was also deep in thought. She was thinking about how she could help Li Changshou get rid of his inner demons and return to a happy life of cultivation.
"Do I have to use a woman's charm? Fight poison with poison? '
Immortal Jiu lowered his head to look at his bulging chest, and then he let out a strange laugh …
Li Changshou did not pay much attention to the sudden addition of a setting for himself.
Although this was only a temporary measure to avoid Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu's detection of his cultivation level and potential, he would always pay attention to this detail for the rest of the journey.
It was not difficult for Li Changshou to maintain his vigilance.
"Senior Brother Changshou." A voice suddenly called out from behind. Li Changshou turned and saw Youqin Genya's apologetic face.
Although Li Changshou wanted to say, "Please maintain the modesty and pride that an iceberg beauty should have," he could only smile and wave his hand to indicate that she did not need to say more. Then, he turned and continued reading the scroll.
Youqin Genya pursed her lips, but the apologetic look in her eyes did not disappear.
Li Changshou's spiritual senses were sharp enough to capture that Yuan Qing, who was behind with his eyes closed, frowned slightly …
…
Two days later …
The East Victory Continent, which was vast and sparsely populated, was gradually left behind.
Along the way, the huge gourd flew in the clouds, day and night. Finally, it reached the northwestern border of the East Victory Continent.
Li Changshou did not cultivate along the way. He kept his attention focused on the small area around him. At the edge of his vision, he could often see figures flying across the sky.
Fortunately, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
Jiujiu stretched lazily. The huge gourd began to slow down and descend towards the mountains below.
Immortal Jiu yawned and shouted to the few people behind him, "Keep your spirits up. We are about to enter the border of the East Continent.
All of you, listen up!
The North Continent is not a good place. This time, you are here to train. Do not risk your lives to fight for treasures and spirit herbs.
Next, I will bring you to an entrance in the North Continent. Remember this place. In the future, when you come to the North Continent, do not foolishly wander around. "
The five disciples stood up at the same time and cupped their hands and bowed to Jiujiu. They said in unison, "Yes, Aunt-Master."
"Mm." Jiujiu nodded in satisfaction.
Liu Yan 'er asked softly, "Aunt-Master … isn't the North Continent one of the four East Continents? Why is there an entrance? Could it be that the miasma here has formed a natural array formation? "
Jiujiu pursed her lips and said calmly, "Who knows why? Explain it to her. "
Yuan Qing smiled and said, "The miasma of the North Continent is not difficult to resist for Void Return Realm cultivators who can form the Inner Heavenly Cycle.
The most troublesome thing here is the poisonous insects and plants that are produced by the miasma, as well as the ferocious and poisonous beasts that appear everywhere. It is very difficult to deal with. "
"You are not answering the question!"
Jiujiu rolled her eyes and scolded Yuan Qing. "She asked why there is an entrance. What the hell is your answer?"
Yuan Qing smiled awkwardly and could only cup his hands.
Yuwen Ling said in a low voice, "Because of the demons."
"That's right. It's because of the demons. Big General, you are quite knowledgeable."
Jiu Jiu lowered her head and looked at it. She controlled the huge gourd to land in a valley in the mountains.
She said seriously, "The light from providence of the human race is gathered in the South Continent. The North Continent is where the Witch Race is exiled.
In ancient times, in order to support the falling sky, a few Lord Sage chopped off the four legs of a Connate Black Turtle and made them into heavenly pillars.
The Black Tortoise's heart was filled with resentment and melancholy. Its massive body and vast Dharmic powers turned into the miasma that lingered in the North Continent for years. Look in the northwest direction. Those are not rain clouds. "
The few of them looked to the northwest at the same time. At that moment, they were about to descend into the mountains. They could see the surging grayish-black clouds in the sky.
It was boundless and boundless.
Jiujiu continued.
"The miasma gave birth to many poisonous insects and plants. Ordinary living beings did not dare to approach it. It also became a place where many strange flowers and fruits flourished. There were all kinds of ferocious and poisonous beasts. Even Heaven Immortals did not dare to go too deep.
"After the Great Magi-Demon War, the remnants of the Witch Race were exiled to this place. They went to the extreme north of the North Continent. It was a world of ice and snow. There were fewer insects and beasts there, and they could barely survive. However, it was said that they were on the brink of extinction. It was indeed quite tragic.
"The demons who hated the Witch Race and the demons who were chased away by the human Qi Refinement cultivators gathered at the border of the North Continent.
"Over time, this narrow area, which stretched for hundreds of thousands of kilometers from east to west, became the most important place for the demons to stay."
At this point, Jiujiu looked at the expressions of her disciples and realized that … apart from Li Changshou, the rest of them were more or less nervous.
The effect was not bad. Let's work harder.
Jiujiu chuckled and said in a low voice, "Look at the surrounding mountains. I wonder how many great and old demons there are. Some of them are abnormally powerful. They especially like to eat human Qi Refinement cultivators ~"
The few of them became even more vigilant. Li Changshou nodded calmly and continued to look down.
Jiujiu felt bored. She pointed at the bottom of the gourd and continued expressionlessly.
"The town below is one of the entrances to the North Continent that was forcefully opened by the human experts. It is said that there has been a truce with the demons for the past few thousand years. We don't know when they will start fighting again.
"When we enter the town, I will bring you to buy some miasma-repelling talismans and antidotes.
"Although the sect has these, I don't know who set the stupid rule that I have to bring you here to experience the life of a cultivator and teach you how to barter.
"Remember, you cannot barge into the sky above this town. There are a few experts guarding this place. You must always be respectful of them. Let's land on the southeast side of the hill and walk a section of the mountain road."
The five disciples cupped their hands and accepted the order. They memorized Immortal Jiujiu's warning in their hearts.
The town was located in a valley. The cliffs on both sides of the valley had been carved into caves. There were also many plank roads and wooden buildings.
The valley was filled with all kinds of buildings. From afar, it looked very messy.
There were grand and bright palaces and towering pagodas. However, most of the buildings were made of wood and mud. There was no proper layout. There were only a few narrow alleys that one could barely pass through.
Of course, most cultivators flew in mid-air. They did not need to walk.
It could be seen that there were actually quite a number of cultivators heading to the North Continent. People came and went. Many Qi Refinement cultivators had set up stalls on the roofs of wooden buildings and mud houses. One could find many herbs and precious materials produced in the North Continent.
Most of these herbs and precious materials were related to the word 'poison'.
Jiujiu was very familiar with the place. She summoned a white cloud and led the five disciples and Yuwen Ling around the town. She compared the items at the stalls before asking them to take out their Spirit Stones and buy some cheap pills and talismans.
Eh? Why isn't this fellow moving?
Jiujiu looked at Li Changshou, who was standing behind her with his hands behind his back. She sighed in her heart and casually threw a pouch over her shoulder into Li Changshou's arms.
This pouch was the simplest storage Dharma treasure. It was usually used to store a fixed amount of Spirit Stones.
Jiujiu complained, "I knew that your master didn't have much to give you. I don't understand why he has to guard that small peak …
Antidote pills and Miasma-Repelling Talismans must be prepared. Hurry up and buy them. You're a man, don't dawdle! "
"Uh." Li Changshou was stunned. He looked up at the Aunt-Master in front of him, who did not like to dress up. He smiled warmly.
He would only smile like this in front of his master and junior sister.
He was just about to explain that he had prepared everything in advance. However, before he could say anything, a slender hand reached out to him from the side. It was holding a stack of yellow talismans and two porcelain bottles.
It was the young girl in the fiery-red dress with a huge sword on her back.
Youqin Genya turned her head to look elsewhere. She tried her best to speak calmly.
"Take it as an apology to Senior Brother. Previously …"
As she spoke, she flicked her finger and used some force to send the pills and talismans directly into Li Changshou's hands. Then, she turned around and pretended that nothing had happened as she walked to a stall at the side.
Li Changshou was slightly amused. He cupped his fists at her back and did not say anything.
This ice mountain definitely did not live up to its name.
