Just as I heard.
The route and map to Nanman can indeed be purchased in Yuyuan Immortal City.
There are plenty of choices, and several stores offer them.
Lu Zhong chose Bafang Pavilion.
In the elegant room on the top floor, the fragrance of tea lingers.
Lu Zhong was sitting upright, pouring a drink alone.
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and there was some doubt in his eyes before he raised his head and cast his gaze towards the door.
At the same time, the curtain door was gently pushed open by jade hands, and three figures filed in. In addition to the master of the Bafang Pavilion who looked like an old man in green, there were also two monks, a man and a woman.
Both of them are at the Nascent Soul stage, and the leader among them is a burly middle-aged man wearing a fiery red fur robe and an angry beard. This man also has another identity, that is, the current master of Xiao Yuan Palace.
Huo Yuanhao, the lord of Xiao Yuan Palace, was worried about solving the snow beast disaster. Hearing that a strange Nascent Soul had arrived in the city, he hurried over.
As soon as he entered the door and saw the ridiculously young Lu Zhong, Huo Yuanhao couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with Xiao Yuanjing's feedback results.
But soon, he wiped away the doubts in his mind.
Because Huo Yuanhao could clearly feel that the other party's depth of cultivation and the faint spiritual pressure emanating from his body were not only higher than those of his junior sister Huo Yuanling, but also surpassed his own.
What you need to know is that he has been pregnant for more than five hundred years.
In any case, he can be called a veteran Yuanying, but now when he meets such a young Yuanying, he is actually inferior to him in terms of cultivation.
This matter is simply unbelievable, how can people not be surprised?
But surprise comes as a surprise. Huo Yuanhao's years of cultivating qi were not in vain.
The expression on his face did not change at all.
"Huo Yuanhao, the master of Xiaoyuan Palace, has met this fellow Taoist. The reason why he came uninvited is because he encountered a difficult matter that is difficult to solve. Therefore, he came here specifically to ask fellow Taoist to take action. If there is any sudden disturbance, Fellow Taoist, please forgive me!" Huo Yuanhao bowed deeply and said as if he was apologizing.
Following him, the master of the Bafang Pavilion and the Yuan Yingnu Fire Yuanling cultivator also saluted.
"You're welcome, fellow Taoists, please sit down." Lu Zhong said calmly.
To be honest, he was relieved to hear that the other party wanted something. At the same time, he was also thinking secretly in his mind. The "snow beast disaster" mentioned by the other party could not help but remind Lu Zhong of the recent disaster-prone Southern Barbarians and the Western Territory that had long been destroyed by disasters.
No matter how you look at it, there seems to be someone behind this series of events.
The purpose of promoting all these is probably for Naihe.
"Is it the troublemaker from Youxuan Dao Sect, or..."
Lu Zhong thought for a while and did not think about it further.
For now, knowing too much is not a good thing.
Then he turned his attention to Huo Yuanhao. Lu Zhong thought that the spiritual objects that nourished the soul in Yuyuan Immortal City were hard to find, and it would be difficult to find them even after a lot of effort. But there should still be a lot of these special spiritual objects in the Xiao Yuan Palace treasure house, and now is a rare opportunity to obtain them.
Thinking of this, he decided to ask about the origin of the snow beast.
It is easy to judge the degree of difficulty and decide whether to take action.
"I'm new to this treasure land. I still don't know what the disaster caused by the snow beast is. I would like to ask the Lord of the Fire Palace to clarify my doubts."
Hearing this, Huo Yuanhao was neat and tidy, and explained with a normal expression: "Speaking of which, this snow beast disaster is related to the Yiling Wasteland in the north. That should be the territory of the Snow Saint, and the snow beast is the snow The people under the protection of the Holy Saint. Since the rise of the Snow Saint for tens of thousands of years, it and the Nascent Soul forces in Northern Xinjiang, like me, have always been in harmony with each other, until one hundred and thirty-eight years ago..."
"One hundred and thirty-eight years ago?" When Lu Zhong heard this time, his expression seemed as calm as before, but in fact, there was already a huge wave in his heart.
This time is extremely special, it happens to be the time when changes occur in the Western Territory. Thinking of this snow beast disaster, it is also a disaster that may lead to the destruction of the world of immortality.
If there is no connection between the two, no one would believe it.
"Yes, it was one hundred and thirty-eight years ago. That day, a huge roar suddenly came from the center of the wilderness. Everyone knew that it was from the Snow Saint, and then there was a huge explosion. The originally white and boundless snowfield, From then on it became the Annihilation Wasteland today." Huo Yuanhao recalled, recalling the scene of the devastating impact, he couldn't help but show a hint of shock.
"What is an annihilation spirit?" Lu Zhong had some guesses, but still asked.
"That's the literal meaning." Huo Yuanhao calmed down his expression and his face became solemn, "After the big explosion, a strange force emerged in the wasteland. It seems to be the opposite of spiritual energy. Once it comes into contact with spiritual energy, it will The spirit energy was annihilated, and this is where the name of the Spirit Annihilation Wasteland comes from.”
After a pause, he continued: "As for the snow beasts, they were affected by the breath of the wilderness. They were originally docile and disliked fighting, and became vicious and bloodthirsty. At first, they still retained their original appearance, but they could As time goes by, the impact of the wilderness on the snow beasts becomes more and more serious day by day, and even the appearance becomes more ferocious. Fellow Taoist, you only need to look at the ice crystal mirror to know this."
Huo Yuanhao made a seal and quickly formed an ice mirror.
Then a picture appeared in the mirror.
Under the pitch-black sky, monsters with strange and ferocious shapes and no apparent connection to each other were advancing like a tide, and then ran into the army of monks head-on. The two sides started a desperate fight in the wilderness. For a while, it could be said that the fields were littered with corpses and blood was floating in the oars.
However, the result of this battle ended with the monk's defeat.
The reason is that there are too many snow beasts. No matter how the monk army kills them, there are still endless snow beasts coming towards them. So after exhausting their mana, the monks had to choose to retreat.
"As fellow Taoists can see, this is a conquest war launched by the Northern Xinjiang sects and we formed a coalition of monks twenty-seven years ago with the purpose of destroying the Yiling Wasteland. We thought that we would unite the three Nascent Soul sects, We can successfully eradicate the snow beast disaster. But we never thought that we would fail in the first battle!" Huo Yuanhao said slowly.
When Lu Zhong heard this, he no longer knew how to evaluate it.
In other words, this is the normal operation of monks.
The reason is that he is most likely selfish.
If it hadn't been for an imminent event, such as the snow beast disaster that might have wiped out the world of immortality in northern Xinjiang. It is almost impossible to get the Yuanying old monsters who are full of conflicts of interest and even hatred to abandon their prejudices and sit together calmly.
Without expressing his thoughts, he continued to listen to Huo Yuanhao's words.
"After that, Xiaoyuan Palace, Beihan Sect, and Baiji Fort had no choice but to switch from offense to defense. We relied on guarding the three great passes of the Tianci Mountains across the northern border to stop the snow beast disaster in the hinterland of the northern border. Other than that. But the problem is that in addition to Xiongguan, there are many mountain passes in the Tianci Mountains, and snow beasts will also invade those places."
When Huo Yuanhao said this, he revealed the purpose of his trip.
I saw him cupping his hands, bowing to Lu Zhong and saying: "The reason why I entrusted my Taoist friends to take action this time is because I want my Taoist friends to assist me in retaking Nijian Mountain Pass together."
To be able to make the majestic master of the palace make such a move of surrendering his status, Lu Zhong estimated that Huo Yuanhao was really at his wits end, and the Niijian Pass that was breached by the snow beast was most likely an important pass.
Otherwise, when you see a strange Nascent Soul, you won't immediately want to get help from him.
"Then, should I take action, or..."
Lu Zhong did not give a direct answer, but thought about it carefully.
Judging from the available information, it is not difficult for him to deal with the snow beasts. He only needs to mobilize his magic power to use the "Star Pulling Technique" and shoot a few meteors at the army of snow beasts.
With the power of a meteor, it is definitely not a problem to kill snow beasts for miles around.
"You can give it a try." Lu Zhong decided.
It doesn't hurt to give it a try. Even if the action fails, the consequences will not be borne by him. At most, he will not be able to get the reward. But if the action is successful, then he will get what he needs.
That is to say, it is a spiritual thing that nourishes the soul.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong organized his words and said:
"Let's just say it plainly! Dealing with the snow beast is not a problem for me. But if you want me to take action, you have to see if the Lord of the Fire Palace is sincere."
Hearing this, Huo Yuanhao's eyes suddenly lit up, with unconcealable excitement on his face, and he said in a trembling voice: "Fellow Taoist, don't worry, as long as Nijian Mountain Pass can be recaptured, I can use the name of the Palace Master of Xiaoyuan Palace. I guarantee that Xiaoyuan Palace will not mistreat fellow Taoist people afterwards."
"Really?" Lu Zhong smiled lightly.
Then put forward your own conditions.
"I only want spiritual things that nourish the soul!"
"This..." Huo Yuanhao's smile faltered, but soon returned to its original state, and he said helplessly: "Xiaoyuan Palace does not have any spiritual things that nourish the soul. Right now, there happens to be a treasure that nourishes the soul, the thousand-year-old White Saint Ice Orchid. Its medicinal effect can even have a very good healing effect on the soul damage suffered by Yuanying monks.
But for such a rare and hard-to-find thing, before I have seen the strength of fellow Taoist, I really can’t make the decision without authorization, so I reached a deal with fellow Taoist on the condition of this thousand-year-old white holy ice orchid. "
Lu Zhong had no objection to what he said.
"No problem, but when the time comes...if my strength can penetrate the eyes of the Fire Palace Master, I hope you can also show your sincerity."
"Of course!" Huo Yuanhao agreed immediately.
Then the two parties agreed to go to Xuelu City, thousands of miles to the north, where a wave of snow beast vanguards would attack, and the number was small just to show off their strength.
Without further ado.
So the three of them immediately left Yuyuan Immortal City and headed straight to Xuelu City in the north.
As soon as they left Yuyuan Immortal City, the three of them immediately turned into three rainbow lights.
From here, we can also see some differences between the northern Xinjiang monks and the southern barbarian monks.
The former seems to be able to rely on secret techniques or skills to use the aurora in the sky that stretches for countless thousands of miles to improve his escape speed. But southern barbarian monks like Lu Zhong could only ascend on their own.
Helpless, Lu Zhong had no choice but to increase his escape speed.
There is no need to mention too much, just a little burning of blood essence.
As everyone knows, Huo Yuanhao and Huo Yuanling were quite surprised to see Lu Zhong being able to keep up with the escape speed of his senior brothers and sisters without mastering the Aurora Escape.
So in their hearts, their evaluation of Lu Zhong improved a bit.
The three of them were flying at full strength, and the distance of thousands of miles was covered in an instant.
Less than an hour later, Lu Zhong saw a white misty light group shining in the distance. Even in the sky of ice and snow, it was extremely conspicuous. This was a strange phenomenon after the giant protective formation was activated.
The light group enveloped a huge city, which was the destination of the three people's trip - Xuelu City.
Turning the Tianluo Secret Eye, he could immediately see clearly from a very far distance.
The three of them arrived at just the right time. Snow beast vanguards had already appeared in the north of Xuelu City. Their number was roughly over 10,000, and no fourth-level aura was found in them. It was not difficult to solve them.
Seeing that Huo Yuanhao and Huo Yuanling did not increase their speed, they must have reached the limit of their escape speed. At this time, Lu Zhong increased his escape speed by several percent and rushed out at the lead.
It's just a transaction at the moment, and there's a high probability that he won't come to Northern Xinjiang again in the future. It doesn't matter if he shows more tricks, the important thing is to save time.
A bloody meteor flew over the snow beast.
After observing closely, Lu Zhong realized that compared with the snow beasts displayed by Huo Yuanhao's ice crystal mirror, today's snow beasts have become even more distorted. Each one looks strange and has no appearance of the indigenous creatures in this world. On the contrary, it is getting closer and closer to the image of an extraterrestrial demon.
"Is there any connection between the two?" he thought to himself.
Looking at the dark snow beasts below, Lu Zhong raised his hand and held out the human-faced dragon flag.
This flag's "fire-eating magical power" is also capable of large-scale destruction.
In terms of efficiency, it is not inferior to the meteor.
In order to maximize the effect, he simply landed on the snow. When the snow beasts rushed to a distance of a hundred feet and he could smell the fishy wind from their mouths, he smiled lightly and activated the human-faced dragon flag.
In an instant, a line of fire grew from thin to thick.
Then swept across the field.
Wherever the fire line passed, it was reduced to a flaming hell. No matter how big or small the snow beast was, as long as it was caught in this incredibly hot fire field, it would only end up turning into ashes.
However, in just a few breaths, this group of tens of thousands of snow beast vanguards was eliminated by Lu Zhong alone.
A disaster that destroyed the city was eliminated in this way.
Huo Yuanhao and Huo Yuanhao witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and they couldn't stop the shock on their faces.
I just wanted to find a helper to share the pressure, but I never thought of hiring such a sharp person. If it were the two of them to deal with the tens of thousands of snow beasts, it would take at least a quarter of an hour.
But now, Lu Zhong can solve it in one meeting.
In comparison, the two of them, brother and sister, inevitably looked useless.
At this time, Lu Zhong flew over.
He looked at the unusual expressions of the two people, and he couldn't guess what they were thinking. He couldn't help but smile slightly in his heart, and felt an inexplicable feeling of secret joy, and then he said softly:
"Master of Fire Palace, I wonder if I can impress you with my strength?"
"Fellow Taoist is very powerful. It's my honor to invite you!" Huo Yuanhao said bluntly, then turned over his hand and took out a psychic jade contract. According to the previously discussed conditions, he quickly used his magic power to draw up the terms, and then He signed his name.
Then, he handed over the spiritual contract.
After Lu Zhong took the spiritual deed, he did not sign it directly, but read it carefully.
After all, it is essential to be on guard against others.
To be honest, he didn't care whether Huo Yuanhao would lower his evaluation of himself because of this. Compared with the opinions of outsiders, your own safety is the most important.
