By the time they reached the top of Jiuhan Peak, Zhuzhu felt that her limbs were numb from the cold.
But it was because of numbness that I didn't feel so cold anymore, or it could be said that I was so cold that I lost consciousness.
"Here -" Lord Binghua threw over a fifth-level ice shovel, "There is no house for you to live here. If you want to have a place to live, you must either build an igloo or dig a cave yourself."
Zhuzhu silently stepped forward to pick up the fallen ice shovel. This was the first level on the Nine Cold Peak. There was no room to wait until midnight. In such extremely cold weather, even monks might freeze to death.
She had already discovered that there were five or six igloos around her that were the same size as the yurts in her previous life. Those igloos should have been built by the disciples assigned to work at Jiuhan Peak by the Law Enforcement Hall.
"When you've finished setting up your nest, come to the Jingying Cave ten miles ahead to find me." After saying this, Lord Binghua rolled up his sleeves and left.
Zhuzhu picked up the ice shovel and shoveled the thick ice under her feet with her normal strength. In the end, she only shoveled down a thin layer of ice slag, which was almost negligible.
It seems that it is not easy to make an igloo. In addition, this is a magical place, and the spiritual energy and spiritual stones on the body will be reduced if used.
Zhuzhu was reluctant to use her spiritual energy, so she had no choice but to take out the eighth-level sky-breaking ax and strike the ice under her feet with a bang.
"Click, click..."
The eighth-level sky-breaking ax was indeed much easier to use than the fifth-level ice shovel, and the ice under Zhuzhu's feet began to crack piece by piece.
The noise was so loud that I didn't expect that there were disciples in an igloo not far away. The man heard the noise and came out to check:
"Hey, there's a new beauty!"
What came out of the igloo was a man who looked like he was in his early twenties, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was a late-stage Jindan real person.
Zhuzhu raised her eyes and glanced at him, then continued her ice-breaking action.
"Why don't you speak? Could it be that you are mute?" The man watched with interest as Zhuzhu wielded the giant ax to chop the ice. "It's a pity that she is so beautiful and can't speak."
The man said a lot, but Zhuzhu still ignored him, so he had to move forward and asked: "My name is Jun Mo, what is your name?"
Zhuzhu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and was immersed in breaking the ice, because she suddenly realized that the blow she made with brute strength dissipated a lot of the coldness in her body, and her limbs became more and more flexible.
This is a good sign. If the limbs remain numb like this, they will most likely get frostbite and lose consciousness completely.
Now with strenuous labor, her body is warming up bit by bit.
It seems that building an igloo or digging a cave is not a difficulty set by True Lord Binghua for the disciples who come to Jiuhan Peak to be punished, but is for their own good.
It not only allows the body to gradually adapt and warm up during the process of building the igloo, but also prevents them from sleeping in the open.
Two hours later, while the man named Jun Mo was talking to himself, Zhuzhu finally made enough ice cubes to build the igloo.
Her face had turned rosy during the two hours of non-stop work, and she looked even brighter and more attractive.
Jun Mo stared at Zhuzhu with more and more eager eyes. He had been punished in Jiuhan Peak for more than thirty years.
In the past thirty years or so, the female cultivators I have met can speak with both hands.
Especially since these female cultivators had just arrived at Jiuhan Peak, they could not accept the harsh and extremely cold weather here. They either cried in despair, or wanted to escape from Jiuhan Peak, or they wanted to hug the thighs of monks like them who had long been accustomed to the environment of Jiuhan Peak.
Only a few female nuns accepted the punishment of being sent to Jiuhan Peak so easily and calmly.
Although Zhuzhu didn't talk to Jun Mo for two hours, Jun Mo was not discouraged.
Instead, he became more and more familiar with it, and even stepped forward to lift the broken ice cubes Zhuzhu asked to help: "I have experience in building igloos, let me help you!"
"Need not."
Most of the disciples who can be assigned to Jiuhan Peak have committed serious crimes. Although Zhuzhu will not despise them, she will not trust them easily without any grudges.
Who knows what mistake this guy named Jun Mo made to be sent to Jiuhan Peak? What if he is a heinous person? He might have bad intentions for being so attentive to him.
Zhuzhu was too lazy to guess and verify, so she might as well be at peace with him. Anyway, two years would pass if she tolerated it.
"It turns out you can talk. I didn't expect your voice to be so nice."
Not only did Jun Mo not hear the expulsion in Zhuzhu's words, but he said excitedly: "Then what is your name? From now on we are neighbors after all, so we can meet and say hello easily."
Zhuzhu sighed helplessly, and it was actually quite annoying to have a chatty, thick-skinned and familiar neighbor next to her: "Zhuzhu."
"Zhuzhu, that's a nice name, but why do you always talk in two words?"
This was the first time someone thought her name sounded nice. Although Zhuzhu didn't want to talk to Jun Mo anymore, this person was too thick-skinned and was ready to ask questions if she didn't answer.
"I like."
"Haha... good progress, three words this time." Jun Mo laughed so hard that his whole body trembled, but he couldn't hold the ice cube firmly in his hand, and fell to the ground with a "snap" and fell into pieces.
Zhu Zhu's eyes suddenly turned cold. Could this person have deliberately come to do her a disservice and cause trouble for her?
Jun Mo, who had been accustomed to the severe cold weather here for more than 30 years after being glanced at by Zhu Zhu's eyes, felt cold in his heart for no reason: "I didn't mean it."
Yes, you didn't do it on purpose, but I suspect you did.
Seeing this man lifting another ice cube, Zhuzhu could only say calmly: "Put it down!"
"Oh——" Jun Mo loosened his hand, and there was a crisp "pop" sound, and another thick ice cube fell into pieces.
Needless to say, this person was deliberately looking for trouble. Zhuzhu became furious: "Go away——"
"You're so cute when you're angry," Jun Mo seemed to not understand Zhu Zhu's order to exclude guests. Instead, he stepped forward and stretched out his slender fingers with clear joints to touch Zhu Zhu's red nose, "Zhu Zhu is really Is that your real name? Then can I call you Xiao Zhuzhu from now on."
"Call you uncle——"
This person actually wanted to step forward and touch her, and gave her such a disgusting nickname. The little universe in Zhuzhu's heart completely exploded, and she flew up and kicked Jun Mo in the stomach.
After hearing a long sound of "呲 slip--", Jun Mo flew several miles away from the ice.
If it weren't for the reluctance to use the spiritual power in her body, Zhuzhu would have wanted to kick this man named Jun Mo off Jiuhan Peak and throw him to death.
Jun Mo stood up and touched his butt. Fortunately, he was wearing an eighth-level robe, otherwise there would have been a hole. But this female cultivator is really interesting. She doesn't pretend to be her own nature at all, and is more lively than other female cultivators. Much more real.
It seems that the days in Jiuhan Peak will no longer be boring.
"Don't be angry, little Zhuzhu. Brother Jun has to go to work. I will play with you tomorrow."
Jun Mo reluctantly said goodbye to Zhuzhu, then turned and walked away.
"ill!"
Zhu Zhu angrily clenched her fists, hoping that the other disciples on Jiuhan Peak would not have the same mental problems as Jun Mo.
It took more than three hours for Zhuzhu to finally complete the igloo.
If that hateful Jun Mo hadn't caused trouble before, she could have been faster.
But luckily it was done before dark.
After finishing cleaning up, Zhuzhu took out the array plate she had purchased in Fangshi and set up a sixth-grade protective array outside, then got up and walked towards Jingying Cave.
Jingying Cave is on a cliff in front. It is named because there are crystal clear ice picks and icicles all around and in the cave.
True Lord Binghua was sitting in the Crystal Cave reading with great interest when he sensed Zhuzhu approaching after finishing building the igloo, so he reluctantly called her in.
"Sovereign Binghua, this junior's igloo has been completed!"
Zhuzhu returned the barely used ice shovel to True Lord Binghua.
"It's getting late today. Tomorrow at nine o'clock, I will go to the Bingyue Lake in the back mountain to pick up ten ice lotus seeds and give them to me."
Lord Binghua said after taking the ice shovel and putting it into the storage bag.
"yes--"
As soon as Zhuzhu returned to her igloo, she found that several disciples who had gone out to work had also returned.
All of them looked numb or cold. Even when they saw the new Zhuzhu, they just glanced at her and went into their own igloo. No one came forward to say hello to her.
But Zhuzhu was very happy. It seemed that not everyone was as thick-skinned and familiar as Jun Mo. This kind of relationship was what she liked.
I just don’t know what kind of job Jun Mo is doing, but he didn’t come back until late at night.
Since there is no spiritual energy here, most disciples choose to sleep at night to recuperate, and Zhuzhu is no exception.
She didn't want to use spirit stones to practice. After all, her cultivation was not slower than her peers. Besides, she only needed to stay at Jiuhan Peak for two years, so she didn't need to practice so closely.
However, she slept very lightly. When Jun Mo came back in the middle of the night, she immediately sensed movement and opened her eyes.
It smells like blood! It still smells like human blood!
It came from Jun Mo. Although it was very faint, Zhuzhu could still smell it.
That guy is hurt!
It seems that the work on Jiuhan Peak is also dangerous, and she will have to be extremely careful tomorrow.
The next day, before dawn, Zhuzhu opened her eyes again.
She got up and moved her body and limbs. Although it was warmer inside the igloo than outside, and she slept covered with the animal skin of the fifth-order Chiqinghu at night, she still felt a little stiff in her limbs when she woke up in the morning.
After her body and limbs became soft, Zhuzhu walked out of the igloo and walked towards the back mountain.
"Xiao Zhuzhu, wait for me."
Jun Mo also came out of his igloo and caught up with Zhuzhu, "Are you going to work in the back mountain today?"
Zhuzhu turned around and stared at Jun Mo coldly: "I like to work alone."
Jun Mo didn't know what magic elixir he used, but he recovered after only one night, and Zhuzhu no longer smelled the slightest smell of blood from him.
Because of this, Zhuzhu was even more wary of him. This man could easily recover his body in Jiuhan Peak, which had no spiritual energy and lacked elixirs. This shows that there must be extraordinary means behind him.
She doesn't want to be with someone who has too much uncertainty.
What's more, she didn't hear from Lord Binghua that two people were needed to get the ice lotus seeds.
"Xiao Zhuzhu misunderstood. I should be different from you. Today I need to go to the Bingyue Lake in the back mountain to catch the two sixth-level snow frogs guarding the ice lotus. Is Xiao Zhuzhu going to get the ice lotus seeds?"
"So what?"
"That's great. Since we are both going to Bingyue Lake and the work we do does not conflict with each other, why not join hands..."
"unnecessary."
Jun Mo was interrupted by Zhu Zhu before he finished speaking.
Who knows whether Jun Mo's words are true or false? Even if they are true, Zhu Zhu doesn't want to cooperate with him.
Zhuzhu had not left a good impression on him since their first meeting yesterday.
And after hearing that he said that the person guarding the Ice Lotus was a sixth-level snow frog, she didn't think it was difficult.
Jun Mo could see Zhuzhu's thoughts at a glance: "Xiao Zhuzhu, although the sixth-order snow frogs are not something to worry about, there are so many of them. There are hundreds of sixth-order snow frogs in the entire Bingyue Lake. Not only that, they can Absorbing the breath of thousands of years of ice in Bingyue Lake and taking ice lotus seeds provide a steady stream of demonic power, but you and I have to use a little less spiritual power. Do you want to be consumed by these sixth-level snow frogs on the first day? Do you have spiritual power? What should I do next?"
Thousand-year ice breath——
When she heard these words, Zhuzhu's eyes lit up, and then she automatically ignored Jun Mo's tirade.
Ice breath is a power gas that is purer than ice aura, such as the ten thousand-year ice breath in her body.
Every time she uses it, she can unleash the maximum power of her ice spells and easily cross levels to challenge.
Although the breath of ice for thousands of years is not as good as the breath of ice for thousands of years, it is still an extremely rare thing.
If she could absorb the thousand-year-old ice breath of Bingyue Lake, her ice spell [Extreme Ice Blade] could be improved to a higher level, and her cultivation would be further improved.
Of course, the fewer people who know about cultivating by absorbing the thousand-year ice breath of Bingyue Lake, the better.
Because most people are not worried about scarcity but inequality.
No one else can practice, but she has ice spirit roots and her body has been washed by ten thousand years of ice marrow, so she can withstand the breath of ice. There is no way other disciples will cause trouble out of jealousy or come up with some bad ideas to prevent her from practicing.
Zhuzhu would rather come to Bingyue Lake quietly alone to absorb the breath of ice.
Fortunately, she has a purple bell.
"Xiao Zhuzhu, have you thought about it? Let's go together!"
Jun Mo's tone suddenly became sticky and ambiguous, and Zhu Zhu moved away from him in disgust.
Although what Jun Mo said was right, Zhu Zhu still didn't want to cooperate with him.
Moreover, if Bingyue Lake really had the breath of ice for thousands of years, it would also help her solve the problem of having no spiritual power.
She didn't need to worry about it.
"No."
Zhuzhu only replied with one word, then she quickened her pace and walked towards the back mountain, trying her best to distance herself from Jun Mo.
This person is too noisy. If I reject him, he must be brainwashing me with a long speech.
Rather than being bored by his noise, it would be better to take a step ahead and settle down.
When we reached the back mountain, we saw the endless blue lake.
Thousands of white and shiny ice lotuses bloom on the lake. Occasionally, you can see a few snow frogs the size of millstones swimming in the water under the ice lotus.
From time to time, there would be misty smoke coming from the ice. Zhuzhu sensed that the smoke contained a hint of ice breath. Zhuzhu deliberately opened his spiritual veins to absorb some of it. He immediately felt that his body was lighter, and he was conjoined. The cold inside also dissipated a little.
Only Jun Mo, who came slowly and hurriedly, held his arms and shivered with cold: "Bingyue Lake is the coldest place on Jiuhan Peak. Xiao Zhuzhu really won't join hands with me?"
"It's better not to ask for the ears." Zhuzhu glanced back at him. She had already refused twice in a row, and she still asked if it was annoying!
If she hadn't been guilty now, she would have really wanted to beat up this Jun Mo.
