Tian Xiaoding, Li Tianliang and others chatted while eating in the restaurant, each telling various stories about what happened after they parted.
Xiao Ding also learned from Li Tianliang that the purpose of their visit to Snow Mountain City was to purchase a batch of herb seeds suitable for winter growth.
Because Snow Mountain City is located in the vast snow-capped mountains, and the Netherworld Snow Mountain area is at the northernmost tip of Fengluan Continent, even in summer, the temperature here is not very high, and the snow on the mountains will not melt. Therefore, many rare spiritual plants that are suitable for growing and multiplying in cold climates naturally grow on the snow-capped mountains.
Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tong jointly manage the logistics affairs of Tianyao Village. The three of them manage trivial matters such as what crops to plant every year and when to farm in the village.
Therefore, Li Tianliang saw that every winter, the fields in the village were idle, and thought about how to make full use of them. So I thought of planting some medicinal materials suitable for winter growth.
However, it is not easy to find medicinal plants suitable for growing in winter. Li Tianliang and others have been asking for many years, but only recently did they hear that there may be medicinal plants growing in winter in Snow Mountain City. So he planned to come over and purchase some seeds in this area.
Originally, he just planned to come here with Deng Feng and Shan Tong.
Although the three of them have low cultivation levels, the three of them have been in the world for many years and have a lot of contacts in the world. They have rich experience in the world and are usually relatively low-key. They will not cause trouble wherever they go, and they have nothing worthy of others. Something they coveted, so for so many years, every time they went out to discuss business, they never encountered any trouble.
Then, after the elder sister's son Lu Teng heard about this, he also decided to follow Li Tianliang and the others to Xueshan City to see the world.
Lu Teng is seventeen years old this year. He is tall and sturdy, and his physique is a bit like that of a senior sister. However, he looks more like Lu Tianshuo. Since he was fourteen years old, he had often followed Li Tianliang and the others out to discuss business and enter the world. Therefore, he was very close to his three uncles, Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tong.
Senior Sister Cheng Yaowen doesn't have much restraint on her son. She usually just urges him to practice diligently. The senior sister did not object to him occasionally following Li Tianliang and others out for a walk and learning some experience in the world.
Therefore, Lu Teng followed Li Tianliang and the others to Snow Mountain City.
When it comes to Lu Teng, Xiao Ding naturally thinks of what just happened on the street. He can't help but ask with some worry: "Junior brother Li, I wonder if you have purchased any medicinal plants or seeds suitable for winter growth? Take a look at this Snow Mountain City It is under the jurisdiction of the Snow Mountain Sect, will they send sect masters to cause trouble for us later?"
In fact, for Xiao Ding, he is not too worried about getting into trouble. At worst, if you can't fight, just run away. It's not like he hasn't done this before. What's more, he, Ah Li, and Ouyang Qing are not weak in strength, so they may not be able to defeat the Snow Mountain Sect.
The reason why Xiao Ding asked this was because now there were four teammates with lower cultivation levels, including Li Tianliang. If the Snow Mountain Sect sends more experts, he may not be able to take care of Li Tianliang and the others. Moreover, if they were to escape, it wouldn't be that easy with Li Tianliang and the four of them dragging them around.
However, Li Tianliang shook his head and said: "I went to several shops to talk about herbs and seeds today, but they didn't have them there. It seems that they are not easy to buy. As for the Snow Mountain Sect, you can Don’t worry. They are all members of Fengluanzhou Cultivation Alliance. The masters in the sect have long been sent out to resist the invasion of monsters. Those who stay at home to look after the house are basically disciples in the Qi training period. Those who can stay If the next few foundation-building disciples stay in the sect, it will be great."
Hearing that Li Tianliang mentioned the invasion of monsters again, Xiao Ding asked with concern: "I heard that monsters have invaded our human territory for seven or eight years. What is going on?"
Li Tianliang sighed and said: "As for why the monsters suddenly invaded the Huaxuan Continent and Fengluan Continent of humans on a large scale, I don't know much about it. Because our Tianyao Sect did not join the Cultivation Alliance, nor did we participate in the resistance. The battle of the invasion of monsters. I just heard some rumors in the rivers and lakes, saying that the monsters that looked like Yueshuozhou accidentally discovered the hidden path to Fengluan in the Wenxin Sea.
In addition, they heard that the demon king’s only son was killed by human monks more than twenty years ago, so they summoned a large number of teleportation arrays from Yueshuo Continent and Wenxinhai. Monsters came to attack Huaxuanzhou and Fengluanzhou of humans. "
When Xiao Ding heard this, he was shocked and thought to himself: Could it be that the Demon King of Yueshuo Continent had the desire to take revenge on humans because he killed his son Feilian?
However, he had clearly been thrown into the void of the Nine Heavens by it. Did he know that he was not dead yet?
No matter what the reason is, since the demon clan has come to invade humans, humans will definitely not sit still and wait for death.
"So, how is the situation on the front line now?" Xiao Ding asked with a frown.
Li Tianliang sighed again and replied: "I heard that the situation is not good. The cultivation level of our Fengluanzhou monks is generally low, and it is difficult to resist the invading monsters. Fortunately, there are still some Huaxuanzhou Cultivation Alliance The experts sent here come to support, otherwise, Fengluan Continent might have been occupied by monsters."
"Hua Xuanzhou also sent people to Fengluanzhou for support?" Xiao Ding asked curiously.
"Yes, even so, I have also heard that many areas in the southern part of our Huaxuanzhou have been occupied by monsters. Now it seems that it is all thanks to several formation mages sent by Huaxuanzhou to set up the front line. There are many large-scale formations, and then our monks from Fengluan Continent control these formations to resist monsters." Li Tianliang replied.
"So, the situation on the front line is not optimistic!" Xiao Ding said with some worry.
Shan Tong couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's not just pessimistic, it's quite pessimistic."
Deng Feng added: "If the monsters break through the big formations on the front line, maybe our entire Fengluan Continent will fall into the hands of the monsters."
Hearing this, Xiao Ding suddenly remembered that when he met the Sword Demon and Crazy Demon of the Demon Clan before, they mentioned that the Demon Clan's Sun-Photographing Demon King was also gathering Demon Clan soldiers and was planning to take advantage of the Demon Clan to invade humans. When it comes to the territory, it also comes to attack humans.
If this is the case, then with the power of Fengluanzhou Cultivation Alliance, it is really difficult to cope with the joint attack of the demon and demon clans.
It seems that this matter is indeed a bit of a headache.
In a short period of time, Xiao Ding couldn't think of a reason, so he put the matter aside for the time being, and then asked: "Since you didn't buy the herb seeds you wanted in Snow Mountain City, how about next One step, what are you going to do?"
Li Tianliang said with disappointment: "If we really can't buy it, we may have to return to Tianyao Village in the near future."
At this time, Deng Feng interrupted again and said, "Senior Brother Li, didn't the owner of the shop we went to talk to today say that the medicinal plants we want can be found in the snowy mountains?"
Li Tianliang shook his head and said: "The shop owner really said that no one in the city collects and grows the seeds of those medicinal herbs. When everyone uses these medicinal materials, they will go to the snowy mountains to find them themselves, or Directly buy the spiritual plants found by others in the market. However, if we look for them ourselves, firstly, it is more difficult, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is difficult to say whether we can find them in the end; secondly, it is more dangerous. It is said that this In the vast snow-capped mountains, although there are fewer monster beasts than in the Soul Burial Mountain, they are not absent. Usually, most places with spiritual plants will be guarded by monster beasts. Just based on our cultivation..."
Having said this, Li Tianliang sighed again.
Xiao Ding knew the depression in Li Tianliang's heart. They traveled thousands of miles to Xueshan City, but in the end their trip was in vain. Anyone would feel depressed if this happened to them. Moreover, the four people who came with them were not high in cultivation. It would indeed be dangerous to go into the snowy mountains to look for spiritual plants.
Seeing the disappointment of Li Tianliang and others, Xiao Ding said: "Three junior brothers, if you really want to try your luck in the snowy mountains, I can accompany you." After all, we are all from the same sect, and Li What Tianliang and the others did was for the development of Tianyao Village, so Xiaoding could not just sit idly by.
Hearing what Xiao Ding said, Li Tianliang's eyes lit up at first, then after thinking for a moment, his eyes dimmed again and said, "It's better not to take risks.
Now that the boss is back, we'd better return to the village as soon as possible. "
Xiao Ding knew that Li Tianliang was still worried about safety issues. Even if Xiao Ding agreed to help him, what he saw in his eyes was only the Qi Dzogchen cultivation level, which was the same as his own cultivation level, so he didn't think Xiao Ding could help him much.
However, Xiao Ding did not try to persuade Li Tianliang to enter the snow mountain. In his opinion, his Qiankun Pot has almost all the medicinal plants needed for the Qi training or foundation building stages. Although there are few medicinal plants that grow specifically in winter, the spiritual plants in his Qiankun Pot, even In winter, they will not freeze to death. Otherwise, how can they grow for thousands of years?
Li Tianliang was looking for medicinal plants that could survive in the winter. The purpose was not to use them for himself, but to use the winter time to generate income for the village. Xiao Ding doesn't care much about this, because he doesn't lack spiritual stones. He himself didn't quite know how many spirit stones were stored in the space of his jade pendant, but there were quite a few.
He has killed many high-level monks and obtained their storage bags or rings. The number of spiritual stones possessed by each of these high-level monks who were killed was beyond the imagination of monks in the Qi-training stage. Moreover, Xiao Ding once obtained Shenlong's crystal ring in the Dragon Palace, and there were many spiritual stones in it.
Therefore, Xiao Ding doesn't care whether Li Tianliang goes to the snowy mountains to find spiritual plants, nor does he care whether he can plant suitable herbs for Tianyao Village in winter.
"That's fine. I also want to go see the changes in our village as soon as possible." Xiao Ding also agreed.
"We only visited the shops on one street today. I plan to check a few more shops tomorrow. If there are none, then we will give up completely." Li Tianliang said with a hint of hope.
"That's good, otherwise we would be a little reluctant." Shan Tong on the other side couldn't help but say.
"Yes, yes, even if you come all the way, you still have to try your best to search. Otherwise, how can you be willing to accept it?" Deng Feng said unwillingly.
So, in the end, everyone agreed that they would search the streets for another day tomorrow. If they still couldn't find it, they would return to the village as soon as possible.
