The Land of Ice Whispers is a land of ice and snow hidden deep in the valley. The ice and snow there have not melted for thousands of years, and all kinds of monsters and beasts are rampant in it. It is a place full of dangers.
But danger and opportunity often coexist. Under the ice and snow of the Ice Whispering Land, there are countless treasures buried, various spiritual herbs that can improve cultivation, and spiritual fruits that can heal injuries or restore magical fighting spirit.
There are also source crystals formed by the alien beasts and monsters that die every year, and the benefits therein drive people to explore them one after another.
When a group of people arrived at the mansion belonging to the lord of Qinghe City, Qin Yu also basically understood some of the so-called Ice Whispering Land. He always felt that the so-called Ice Whispering Land was somewhat similar to the Icewind Valley in the system, which made him understand
I became interested in the Land of Ice Whisperers.
The city lord rarely returned to the mansion to live. Hao Yue basically made the decision in the entire mansion, so after entering the city lord's mansion, Hao Yue invited
"You two, please come with me to the living room for a cup of tea. Before the Liu family delivers the crystal core, I have something to discuss with you."
Qin Yu and Han Ye nodded and agreed. They followed Hao Yue to the living room and sat down. Their servants brought tea and various melon and fruit snacks.
Hao Yue raised her teacup to respect each other from a distance, and said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of power can cultivate young heroes like these two little brothers."
Qin Yu took a sip of tea and stopped talking. Han Ye replied, "Both of us are just villagers in the mountains. We have studied in the mountains for many years. Now we have achieved some success in our studies. We went out to the mountains to practice under the orders of our teachers."
"Oh" Hao Yue nodded and smiled, but sneered in his heart, "If the villagers in the mountains and wild villages can have such strength, how can they, geniuses who have been cultivated since childhood, deal with themselves?"
Haoyue naturally didn't believe Han Ye's lies in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all. Instead, she said with a gentle smile, "I believe you two have learned something about the Ice Whispering Land on the way here. I'll be honest."
Say, I would like to invite you two to go to the Land of Ice Whispers."
"Oh," Han Ye asked with interest, "Can the Young City Master please explain it in detail?"
"The thing is like this. A few days ago, the teams sent by various tribes to explore the Land of Ice Whispers brought back news that an entrance hidden deep in the violent ice and snow was found in the Land of Ice Whispers. It was suspected that it was a passage.
The entrance deeper into the Ice Whispering Land."
"The entrance is a treasure land that has never been explored by anyone. There should be countless resources stored deeper. Unfortunately, the entrance was blocked by a violent wind and snow at that time. After calculation, it was found that it would take two months to unlock the entrance wind.
Snow blockade.”
"Two months have almost passed now, and basically within a few days, the entrance blockade will be broken.
"In order to integrate the interests and reduce casualties when competing for resources, the city lord finally proposed a plan that was adopted by various forces."
"Those are the forces that are qualified to participate in the competition. Each of them sends two hundred people to compete for resources and divide the territory."
"We have two forces in Qinghe City that are qualified to enter, namely the Hao family, which controls the power of the city lord, and the Liu family, which has been operating in Qinghe City for hundreds of years."
"Including the forces from several surrounding cities, there are a total of eleven teams. Among them, Qinghe City is owned by our Hao family and Liu family, as well as the three leading families of the city lord's palace. There are also three teams of people entering, and there are six families from other cities.
power."
Qin Yu really wanted to find out what kind of power the City Lord's Mansion was, but in the end he gave up the idea.
At this time, Haoyue secretly checked the expressions of the two people. Seeing that both of them were attracted by what he said, he pretended to take a sip of tea and continued.
"Because each of the great magicians or warrior-level powerful men is the trump card of each force. In order not to lose these powerful men when competing for resources, each force finally negotiates a result."
"In the team entering the Ice Whispering Land this time, only people below the level of great magician or warrior are allowed to enter, and only those with level nine strength at most are allowed to enter."
"Although this will make it more difficult to explore unknown lands, the troops of the eleven tribes are enough to sweep across the entire Ice Whispering Land. The most important thing is that the trump cards of each force will not be lost due to the competition for resources.
"
Having said this, Hao Yue paused and said, "This time the Hao family and the Liu family decided to send me and Liu Chengzong to lead the teams from our respective clans into the Land of Ice Whispers. We invited the two little brothers to come over. I hope you can join the Hao family."
Home’s exploration team.”
After Haoyue finished speaking, she looked at Qin Yu and Han Ye, hoping to see something on their faces. Unfortunately, Qin Yu still had an indifferent look on his face, as if he was not interested.
Instead, Han Ye asked with great interest, "Why do you want to invite the two of us to join the Hao family's expedition team? With Qin Yu and I's strength, it should not be enough for the young city lord to care."
"To be honest, although the strength of the two of them is strong enough for their peers, and the Qin Yu brothers have even reached the eighth level, for the Hao family, it is really not time to invite you to join."
"But Brother Qin Yu's ability to appraise treasures is very important, even indispensable."
Hao Yue frankly stated what he was looking at, then thought about it and added
"To explore unknown areas, it is necessary to have a treasure appraisal talent. The Liu family has hired Nao Sanmu, but the Hao family has never had a suitable treasure appraisal talent. Today I saw Brother Qin Yu's analysis of the accompanying source.
Jingshi is obviously very confident, so he took the liberty to invite you two to join us."
"Of course, after the matter is completed, the benefits will not be lost to the two of you. If you two have any needs, you can put them forward now and I will try my best to meet them." Haoyue added.
"If that's the case, there's nothing going on without me. Young City Master should talk to Qin Yu himself. I can't decide on this matter." Han Ye said with a calm smile, spreading his hands.
Hao Yue nodded after hearing this, looked at Qin Yu and asked, "I don't know if Brother Qin Yu will agree. You can rest assured that as long as you agree, Brother Han Ye's remuneration will not be less than yours."
Hao Yue is a smart person. He sees that the relationship between the two is unusual, and for a sentimental person like Qin Yu, he will never agree to join the Hao family expedition team if he abandons Han Ye.
Qin Yu really wanted to explore the Land of Bingyu, and even without Hao Yue's invitation, he would find a way to go in by himself.
With an invitation from the Hao family, it would be best to enter in a legitimate manner, and the other party did not abandon Han Ye, who was of little use, so Qin Yu just replied, "If Han Ye goes, I will go."
Qin Yu threw the question to Han Ye again, and Hao Yue could only look at him again.
Han Ye sighed helplessly and said, "I don't have a problem. Anyway, I went out to the mountains to practice under the orders of my master. It would be nice to go to a place like the Ice Whispering Land."
It’s just that it’s better to say some things upfront. I wonder what reward the young city lord is willing to pay to invite Qin Yu, a master treasure appraiser whose ability can surpass the three-eye treasure appraiser?”
"This is it"
Haoyue tapped the handle of the chair twice with her fingers, thought for a while and then said.
"The Hao family is willing to provide two bottles of potions that can restore magic and two bottles of potions that can restore fighting spirit, plus two sets of fifth-grade soft armor and two fifth-grade weapons."
"You can pay half of these things to you two before entering. I don't know what you want." Hao Yue asked with a gentle smile on his face.
These things are treasures that even if you have money, you may not be able to get them. Whether it is a potion to restore magic power or restore fighting spirit, they are all treasures that can reverse the outcome at a critical moment. Except for the big families who can refine them, it is impossible for the outside world to obtain them.
.
Besides, there are two sets of fifth-grade soft armor and weapons, each worth tens of thousands of crystal cores, and they may not be available outside. Although they are not as precious as potions, they are still rare treasures.
These things are considered rare treasures in the eyes of ordinary people. Unfortunately, in Qin Yu's eyes, a potion to restore magic power can be obtained in the system with only 800 points of energy crystal cores, which is worth 100 points in conversion.
Around the core of the block crystal.
As for those so-called fifth-grade treasures, in Qin Yu's opinion, they are even worse than scum. As long as there are enough crystal cores, you can get more and better equipment and weapons in the system. I just don't know if these equipment can be used.
For others to use.
So when Haoyue proposed these remunerations, Qin Yu replied without thinking, "Leave one set of equipment and weapons for Han Ye, and just convert the rest into equivalent crystal cores."
Han Ye looked at Qin Yu strangely. Although he didn't know why he gave up his treasures for crystal cores, he remembered that he had said that he needed crystal cores before, so he didn't want to ask more questions and said, "I don't need weapons and equipment.
Just replace it with the crystal core and give it to Qin Yu."
"Okay, it's settled." Hao Yue is naturally happy to see such a thing. After all, compared with these treasures, crystal nuclei of the same value are nothing. For big families like them, crystal nuclei are not necessarily
It needs to be obtained from war beasts or monsters.
"Since you two don't want the treasure, then convert the treasure into 120,000 crystal nuclei. Of course, you can only pay 50,000 to you before entering, and the remaining 70,000 can only be delivered after you come out of the Ice Whispering Land.
For you guys."
"Fifty thousand crystal cores should be enough to take your strength to the next level!" Qin Yu's cold face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Han Ye glanced at Qin Yu and saw that he nodded slightly before agreeing.
Hao Yue happily raised her tea cup again and said, "Since you two agree, let's have a drink and wish us a happy cooperation."
"Okay." Qin Yu and Han Ye also raised their teacups and took a sip. Hao Yue told the servants outside the hall, "Go and prepare two good guest rooms. In addition, the chief messenger ordered someone to go to the warehouse to get 70,000 crystal cores."
Delivered to the guest room.”
After Haoyue finished giving instructions to his servants, he turned around and said to the two of them.
"Seventy thousand crystal cores, of which 20,000 were lost to you by Liu Chengzong. I will send them to him first. The other 50,000 are prepaid rewards. I will ask people to prepare a banquet. After the meal, you two can go to the guest room first.
