Chapter 583 Murder in the Snow【Subscribe】
Poor parents in the world!
Wu Yishan's actions made Zhou Chun only sigh like this.
He never denied the greatness of fatherly and motherly love, and always knew that there are indeed many great parents in the world who are willing to sacrifice everything for their children.
But it is really hard not to be moved that Wu Yishan, a cultivator in the middle stage of Purple Mansion, is willing to work like a slave and a servant just for the hope of letting his daughter suffer less.
After being used to seeing all kinds of selfish cultivators, how can one not be moved when seeing such a selfless cultivator with great love?
Although he was touched, Zhou Chun had no intention of hiring any servants, let alone using this method to make someone a servant.
At that moment, he could only shake his head and said, "I understand what Fellow Daoist Wu means, but I don't have the time to treat your daughter regularly, and I don't intend to take you as my servant, so let's not talk about this matter anymore!"
"senior……"
Wu Yishan wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhou Chun's calm eyes that seemed to keep people at a distance, he swallowed the words back.
In the end, he could only lower his head unwillingly, muttering in an obscure tone: "I am too optimistic. How can a master like you not have anyone to drive you? How can you be willing to add a burden to yourself for nothing!"
Although what he said was a bit unpleasant, it was true.
In the world of immortal cultivation, since most Jindan-stage cultivators come from sects and families, it is not difficult for these Jindan-stage cultivators to command Zifu-stage cultivators to do things for them.
Wu Yishan's promise to be a slave and a servant seemed sincere, but it was just sincerity.
Few Jindan stage cultivators would add a burden to themselves for the sake of a slave who is of no use to them at all.
"It's not exactly what you think."
Zhou Chun looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who went from hope to despair, and seemed to have some sympathy for him. He immediately said, "How about this, I will give you a volume of poison cultivation technique as a reward, and ask you to help lead the way in the ice field."
"Poison cultivation technique? Senior, what you mean is..."
Wu Yishan's expression changed, and he looked at Zhou Chun with some doubt.
Facing his suspicious gaze, Zhou Chun nodded slowly and said, "You are right. In your daughter's situation, unless we can find those Yuanying stage masters who are proficient in medicine to help her, it is highly likely that we will not be able to completely eliminate the fire poison in her blood!"
"In that case, it would be better to let her practice poison skills, using poison to fight poison to enhance her ability to resist poison."
"If I can successfully survive this, I might be able to turn this fire poison into something powerful and cultivate a powerful poison technique in the future!"
At this point, Zhou Chun glanced at Wu Yuzhu next to him and said in a deep voice: "Of course, practicing poison skills can be said to be a life-and-death struggle. It is difficult to achieve success without great perseverance and great opportunity. If you are unwilling to take risks, Zhang can also replace it with other spiritual objects as a reward."
"Junior is willing!"
Wu Yuzhu agreed immediately without waiting for Wu Yishan to speak.
She looked at Wu Yishan with a determined face and said, "Dad, you don't need to say anything more. I have had enough of the torture of the fire poison in my body, and I have had enough of my own incompetence. I have caused you and mother to sacrifice their lives for me!"
"Now that there is hope of curing this fire poison that destroyed our family, my daughter will try her best no matter what!"
At this point, she excitedly said loudly: "If my daughter really dies in the process of practicing poison skills, it is my daughter's fate. It is a good opportunity for me to stop causing trouble for you, father!"
In fact, compared to Wu Yishan, the pressure and pain she endured in her heart were no less!
When she personally watched her mother sacrifice herself with forbidden techniques to save her, which directly led to her mother's death, she was filled with self-blame and felt extremely painful.
Over the years, in order to earn spiritual objects to suppress the fire poison, his father Wu Yishan risked his life to go deep into the ice field again and again. He was even reluctant to buy elixirs to treat his own injuries and did not dare to rest for a long time.
She saw all these things and felt pain in her heart. She felt extremely guilty and wanted to commit suicide to free her father!
Ever since her first failed suicide attempt was discovered, Wu Yishan told her very seriously that if she committed suicide, her mother's sacrifice would be in vain, and there would be no point for him to live alone in the world!
Therefore, she could only endure the inner pain and self-blame again and again, watching her father Wu Yishan burning his life and path for her.
Just like she said, she had had enough of this kind of torture, but she had been enduring it because she couldn't bear to see her mother sacrificed and couldn't bear to let her father be buried with her!
Now Zhou Chun's words gave her a glimmer of hope, a hope that she could gain through her own efforts.
This immediately made her feel extremely excited and happy.
Because in this way she is finally no longer a useless person, and no longer has to watch her closest people risking their lives for her!
Perhaps she didn't know how dangerous and difficult it was to practice poison skills.
But that didn't really matter to her.
Because she just wanted to make herself a useful person and stop dragging her father down!
Even if she really died from the backlash of the poison, she would be relieved.
As the saying goes, no one knows a daughter better than her father.
Wu Yishan has been taking care of his daughter for a long time and watching her grow up. How could he not know what Wu Yuzhu is thinking now?
Of course, he didn't want his daughter to take this risk, but looking at his daughter's current state, he knew that if he refused, he would probably force his daughter into a dead end.
I was very confused at the moment. I was touched by my daughter's understanding, but I was also afraid that I would lose her forever because of this.
After his wife passed away, his daughter became the person he cared about the most, and now she is almost his motivation for living!
He looked at his daughter in silence for a long time with a complicated expression, then suddenly turned to Zhou Chun and asked, "Senior Zhang, are you sure that practicing poison skills can really help Yuzhu resolve the fire poison in her body? The fire poison in her body is a mutation of the poison of a third-level monster. Can the poison skills of the Qi training stage really have an effect on this poison?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun answered truthfully, "I can't guarantee this, but the volume of poison skills in my hand was created by a poison cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage. It has a very strong effect in detoxifying. If your daughter can successfully practice it, she will definitely be able to greatly enhance her resistance to poison. At the very least, there will be no problem in prolonging the duration of her poison attacks each time!"
"If she can successfully build her foundation, then with the effect of her poison skills, she will most likely be able to completely resolve the hidden dangers of the fire poison, and even use the fire poison as nourishment to improve her cultivation!"
A technique created by a poison cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage?
After hearing what Zhou Chun said, Wu Yishan was also shocked, and immediately believed his theory of fighting poison with poison.
If Zhou Chun had not deliberately deceived him in this regard, then there was indeed a possibility of curing the fire poison in Wu Yuzhu's body.
Thinking of this, he looked at his daughter Wu Yuzhu's eyes full of expectation and pleading, and after hesitating and struggling for a while, he finally nodded with difficulty and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Senior Zhang!"
Hearing his words, Wu Yuzhu's face immediately revealed a happy smile as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
Then he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Zhou Chun with a grateful look on his face, "Thank you very much, Senior Zhang. I have no way to repay you for your kindness. I can only kowtow to you to express my gratitude!"
"You are too polite, my friend. Please stand up quickly."
Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly, and he quickly raised his hand to help the man up.
The next thing was simple. Zhou Chun made a copy of the pre-Jindan stage exercises of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Sutra" as a reward and gave it to Wu Yishan in advance.
After reading this poison skill carefully, Wu Yishan was impressed by its exquisite ingenuity and completely believed Zhou Chun's previous words.
However, he was still worried about the danger of practicing this poisonous skill, and worried whether his daughter Wu Yuzhu could withstand it.
On the other hand, Wu Yuzhu herself seemed to be full of confidence and fearless.
Zhou Chun also expressed his own views at the right time based on Zhou Yuanlian's original practice. "Your daughter has been suffering from fire poison for a long time, but she has been able to hold on for so many years. It can be seen that she has extraordinary willpower. Her tolerance and resistance to poison should be stronger than others. It should not be a big problem for her to switch to poison training in the Qi training period!"
After hearing what he said, although Wu Yishan was still a little worried, he could only put this worry aside and go buy the various poisons needed for the medicinal bath.
According to the agreement, he would only take Zhou Chun to the ice field after seeing with his own eyes that his daughter Wu Yuzhu had completed the first three rounds of medicinal bathing and cultivation without any hindrance.
Zhou Chun also felt sorry for his love for his daughter and was not in a hurry.
In this way, more than three months passed in a flash.
Wu Yuzhu did not disappoint Zhou Chun and successfully survived the first three rounds of poisonous water baths.
Of course, there is still some distance to go before she can completely master the "Ten Thousand Poisons Sutra", but judging from her performance in the three rounds of poisonous water baths and the changes in her body, it should not be a problem for her to complete the transformation to poison skills.
As a bystander, Wu Yishan was aware of this, so he felt relieved.
Then he asked Zhou Chun to give him another month to take care of some chores, and Zhou Chun agreed.
After another month, Wu Yishan, who had finished dealing with all his affairs, finally left the market with Zhou Chun and headed straight for the ice field.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Chun originally said that he could pledge the treasure as a guarantee according to the rules, but Wu Yishan was grateful to him for using the [Pure Yuan Spirit Water] free of charge to help his daughter Wu Yuzhu detoxify, and was willing to advance the precious "Ten Thousand Poisons Sutra" as a reward, so he took the initiative to say that he could waive this guarantee.
From this point of view, Wu Yishan is indeed a grateful person.
Because Zhou Chun knew that during this month, the other party had actually sold many of his belongings to raise the materials needed to practice "The Book of Ten Thousand Poisons" and gave them to his daughter Wu Yuzhu. He vaguely felt like he was entrusting his affairs after his death.
Obviously, in the other party's mind, the journey to the depths of the ice field was fraught with dangers, and he was worried that if he could not come back, his daughter would not be able to complete the transformation and cultivation of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Sutra" on her own.
Under such circumstances, he is still willing to waive the guarantee for Zhou Chun, which shows his true character!
This also made Zhou Chun look at this person with even higher regard. If he really encountered any danger on the ice field, he would definitely try his best to save this person's life within his ability.
After the two entered the ice field, Zhou Chun summoned the golden-winged tiger to save his mana and avoid being attacked by blind monsters. When Wu Yishan saw the third-level superior monster golden-winged tiger, he was slightly surprised, but he had seen the world before, so he quickly calmed down and followed Zhou Chun's call to get on the tiger's back and be responsible for guiding the way.
The climate on the ice sheet is unpredictable, with snow and wind often coming.
Although this ordinary snowstorm cannot be considered a blizzard, it can block vision and make people afraid to fly too fast for fear of getting lost.
Fortunately, the golden-winged tiger itself is a wind-attributed monster, and it can mobilize its magic power to form a light blue shield during flight to block the wind and snow, allowing Zhou Chun and Wu Yishan on its back to better observe the surrounding situation.
"The cultivators of Bingyi Country divided the ice field into nine sections based on different distances and depths. The depth of each section ranges from two thousand miles to three thousand miles. Section one is the shallowest and section nine is the deepest!"
"Every time you go deeper into the ice field, the danger will increase a lot. This danger includes the strength of the monsters, the probability of snowstorms, and even the temperature!"
"Generally speaking, fourth-level monsters rarely appear in ice fields below the fourth level. It is a relatively safe area for Purple Mansion cultivators. The frequency and power of blizzards will also be lower. The map still has a certain reference value."
"After the fifth stage, the temperature of the ice field drops sharply. Even if a Qi training cultivator wears thick warm clothes, it is difficult for him to survive there. A foundation building cultivator also needs to consume mana to maintain body temperature. At the same time, there is a high possibility that a fourth-level monster will appear there!"
"The monsters on the ice field are different from those outside. Because food is scarce, high-level monsters will roam around looking for prey. So even if you know where their nests are and deliberately avoid them, you may still encounter them somewhere else!"
"Moreover, the monsters on the ice field are very vengeful. Once you injure them or take their prey, they may even follow you for several months and follow you within a certain range!"
“It is said that even Jindan cultivators dare not easily set foot in the area above the seventh stage. The extremely low temperatures there are enough to freeze a foundation-building cultivator to death, and the extremely cold storms that form there can even trap and kill Jindan cultivators!”
In the heavy snow and wind, Wu Yishan not only showed the direction for the golden-winged tiger, but also tried his best to tell Zhou Chun about the relevant ice field information he knew, so as to prevent Zhou Chun from committing certain taboos without knowing it.
In this regard, Zhou Chun did not rely on his high level of cultivation to underestimate the survival experience summarized by these local cultivators.
When Wu Yishan was talking about the situation on the ice field, he took the initiative to ask him: "Fellow Daoist Wu, can you tell me about the blizzard and the extreme cold storm? If we really encounter these two natural disasters, how should we avoid them?"
Hearing his words, Wu Yishan immediately replied: "Blizzards can be big or small. Small blizzards only affect a range of a thousand miles. They are common blizzards on the ice field. Generally, those with foundation-building cultivation can take the initiative to dig holes in the ice when a blizzard forms. They can wait for a few days or even a dozen days for it to stop!"
"There's no certainty about big snowstorms. I once encountered a particularly big snowstorm on the three-section line. It was said that the second, third, and fourth sections of the same direction were all covered by the snowstorm, which lasted for more than a month before it ended!"
“When the snowstorm ended, there was a layer of ice and snow several dozen feet deep above the ice cave that we dug. When we came out, we found that the surrounding environment had completely changed. It took us more than two months to return to Bingyi Country, and we also lost two companions who were in the late stage of foundation building!”
“As for the extreme cold storm, since it basically does not appear below the seven-dash line, I have never seen one. I only heard that if you encounter one, it is not advisable to dig a hole in the ice, because the ice there is very hard and difficult to dig, and it is easy for the ice layer to flow in the extreme cold storm, bringing you into unpredictable danger!”
Is that so?
Zhou Chun nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
Over the next month, Wu Yishan commanded the Golden Winged Tiger to move forward and backward, going thousands of miles deep into the ice field and entering the so-called four-segment line in one breath.
The reason why it took so long was naturally because time was wasted on avoiding the snowstorm and identifying the direction.
And this was the result after Zhou Chun took action and forced his way through several small-scale snowstorms.
Otherwise it will only take longer.
At this time, Zhou Chun also deeply experienced the importance of a good guide.
Because even though Wu Yishan was familiar with the location, in order to successfully find the location of the Fish Eye Ice Lake, he often had to travel hundreds of miles to look for some particularly iconic tall snow peaks and glaciers to determine his own location.
If Zhou Chun was alone and only knew how to fly in one direction, he might not be able to find his destination even if he was given one or two years!
The temperature on the ice field of the Four-Dash Line is already very low. It is difficult for ordinary people to survive here even if they are wrapped in thick fur coats. Even wild animals such as ice bears, wolves, foxes, etc. that are good at keeping warm have become extinct here.
Most of the animals that can appear here are monsters.
Their main food is fish and shrimp living in some glacial lakes, as well as other monsters.
There are many lakes and rivers under the ice sheet, otherwise there would not be enough water vapor to condense such a thick layer of ice.
In terms of topography, the terrain of Bingyi Country is much lower than that of the surrounding countries. Therefore, it is speculated that the underground water veins of various countries will eventually converge on the ice field. The ice field will then take on a responsibility similar to that of Longyuanze, storing huge amounts of water vapor as ice and snow.
Although the ice on the ice field is thick, it also flows. Sometimes the flow of ice can create a lake or a huge basin out of thin air.
At the same time, there are some places on the ice sheet with special environments that can form unfrozen lakes.
In short, this ice field is a place devoid of vitality and full of miracles.
Zhou Chun is not a natural scientist, and he doesn't care about how the ice sheets are formed, or how the above phenomena that do not conform to meteorological laws come into being.
After all, there are too many strange places in the world of immortal cultivation. Using the knowledge of the previous life to forcibly explain these strange phenomena is not only far-fetched, but also ridiculous!
After entering the fourth line of the ice field, the golden-winged tiger is no longer a suitable spiritual beast for transportation. It consumes too much energy here, and its recovery speed is far behind the consumption speed. It is also easy to be hunted by those fourth-level monsters.
So Zhou Chun could only summon the [Blue Sea Silver Boat] himself and take Wu Yishan on the journey.
Above the vast ice field, a ray of silver light was seen rushing through the air in the wind and snow, and it could fly hundreds of miles in an instant.
In this way, although the direction becomes more difficult to find, the speed is actually increased.
In just seven days, Zhou Chun brought Wu Yishan into the five-dash line area.
The Yumu Ice Lake they were going to was exactly the dividing point between the five-dash line and the six-dash line.
But as Wu Yishan had said before, at this depth, the frequency of blizzards is quite high.
On this day, Zhou Chun was flying when his consciousness suddenly moved and he realized that another snowstorm was coming ahead.
If it were before, he might have taken shelter for a while.
But half an hour ago, Wu Yishan had said that as long as they flew another five or six hundred miles in the current direction, they would reach their destination.
So after hesitating for a moment, he did not try to dodge and directly maintained his speed and plunged into the blizzard.
However, the silver-green flying boat was seen breaking through the air against the wind in the snow and wind. Zhou Chun, who was controlling the flying boat, clearly felt that his mana consumption had increased a lot.
But I thought that it was only a few hundred miles away, and it should be over if I could hold on.
Unexpectedly, after he advanced hundreds of miles in the direction of the blizzard, his spiritual sense still could not find the Fish-Eye Ice Lake that Wu Yishan mentioned.
You know, it is a rare unfrozen lake. Even in the most extreme situations in the past, the lake surface could remain unfrozen over an area of dozens of miles!
"Oh no! We might be lost!!"
Wu Yishan's expression changed and he said something that made Zhou Chun's heart sink.
"Friend Wu, I am sure the direction is correct. Could it be that you saw it wrong before?"
Zhou Chun stared at Wu Yishan with a serious tone.
He did not blame the other party directly, but these words themselves were enough to put pressure on the other party.
Wu Yishan also said with a pale face: "It shouldn't be like this. The temperature and ice hardness of the iceberg I used as a reference are the same as before!"
After that, he suggested to Zhou Chun: "Senior Zhang, I suggest that we land right away and wait for the snowstorm to pass. We should not move around at this time, lest we go further and further in the wrong direction!"
"Okay, then listen to you."
Zhou Chun nodded, knowing that it was useless to blame the other party at this time, and immediately took the other party to the ground.
But just when Zhou Chun used the [Taibai Zhanjiao Sword] to start digging an ice cave on the ground, his spiritual consciousness suddenly moved, and he shouted angrily, and a brilliant golden light burst out to protect himself and Wu Yishan inside.
At the same time, a beast claw with a white cold glow slammed hard on the golden glow, instantly tearing a large area of the glow and almost touching Wu Yishan's back!
"Fourth-level monster Ice Crystal Snow Wolf!"
Wu Yishan, who had luckily escaped death, had no time to rejoice over it before his face suddenly changed and he cried out in surprise.
Outside the golden glow, there was a wolf-shaped monster with a crystal clear body that looked like it was made of ice crystals. It was staring at the two of them with its blue wolf eyes wide open, its eyes cold and ferocious.
When the attack missed, the wolf-shaped monster quickly retracted its claws, then white light emerged from its body and it instantly disappeared from the sight of the two.
Seeing this scene, Wu Yishan immediately warned loudly: "Senior Zhang, be careful, this Ice Crystal Snow Wolf's ice escape technique is very special, it has ice escape and invisibility effects!"
"Invisible?"
Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly, and he immediately released his spiritual sense with all his strength, and then he felt relieved.
Fortunately, his powerful spiritual sense, equivalent to that of a late Jindan cultivator, did not disappoint people. The opponent's invisibility was still not enough in front of him.
Happy National Day!!! I am not happy, I don’t have any holidays at all. After writing the book, I have missed all the holidays!!!
