The description of this mission said that it was to help collect icebergs and snow lotuses, not that Ren Xiaofan and Li Wanyan were required to go to the top of Kuntian Mountain alone.
Therefore, Grutma, the man from the family who issued this mission, is also the team leader of this operation. He will use his own experience and knowledge to personally search for medicine for his old father. And the man and woman are his
Son-in-law Bawa and daughter Tashi.
As for Ren Xiaofan and Li Wanyan, they are mainly responsible for solving the troubles encountered on the way, etc...
Since this mission can be upgraded to gold level, it seems that the "trouble" encountered along the way should not be simple.
"Are you going to Kuntian Mountain just like this? You should change into our clothes."
Although he knew that Ren Xiaofan and Li Wanyan were supernatural beings, seeing that their clothes were really "thin", Grutma couldn't help but kindly remind them.
Ren Xiaofan turned to look at Li Wanyan, who shook his head.
"Thank you, Uncle Groot, we don't need it." Ren Xiaofan smiled and waved his hand in rejection.
Monks can use Tao Qi to resist cold and heat, so traveling lightly is much easier than wearing heavy clothes.
"Oh... Okay then, I'll have to worry about Brother Ren and Miss Li later."
Seeing Ren Xiaofan's refusal, Grutma didn't say anything. Instead, he took his climbing tools and asked a few people to head into the Kuntian Mountains.
The Kuntian Mountains are more than 2,500 kilometers long, with an average altitude of about 6,000 meters. Looking around, you can see a vast expanse of snow-covered mountains and thousands of clouds.
It is worthy of being the number one sacred mountain in China. It is not only the cold air that hits his face, but also the awe-inspiring power within it, which makes Ren Xiaofan feel the opportunity to advance.
The same goes for Li Wanyan. If she hadn't been in such a hurry to find the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus, she might have already meditated on the spot and started to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.
The road ahead is fairly flat and you can drive an off-road vehicle across it, but when you reach the ice-covered land behind, you have to walk.
The mission lasts for a week in total, and the round trip is expected to take about three days. The remaining time will be spent looking for icebergs and snow lotuses.
But even so, it takes a day and a half to reach the top, which is a test of one's endurance.
Luckily for Ren Xiaofan, after putting on shoes specially designed for mountain climbing, there was no need to worry about physical strength. As for Li Wanyan, although her Tao Qi may be insufficient, she had no problem after Ren Xiaofan gave her three pills to restore her physical strength.
On the other hand, it takes some effort for Grutma's family of three.
Because they not only have to consider physical strength, but also the inconvenience caused by cold and lack of oxygen. There is nothing they can do if they walk slower.
The sun was shining brightly, but it couldn't withstand the cold wind.
If there is no Tao Qi to resist, just the strong wind blowing like a knife on the face will make it difficult to move.
Because they didn't know the specific route, Ren Xiaofan and Li Wanyan could only follow Grutma and the others, leaving footprints in the thick snow.
Although mountain climbing is a bit boring, Li Wanyan does appear to be a bit careless.
Looking at the scenery she encountered along the way, she actually took photos with her mobile phone, and even forced Ren Xiaofan to take a few photos. She didn't feel like she was wanted by the underworld at all, and was forced to escape here. It was more like traveling.
of.
"Brother Ren, let's take a rest and eat something to replenish your strength."
After walking all afternoon, Grutma and the others had exhausted a lot of their physical strength, so they asked Ren Xiaofan to rest on a flat ground in front of them.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I checked the time on my phone and saw that it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon. The red sunset hung overhead and the scenery was very beautiful.
"Hey, little brother Ren, Miss Li, are you warriors? You have such good physical strength." Grotma asked the two of them while they were resting on the snow.
Although they knew that Ren Xiaofan and Li Wanyan were supernatural beings, their expressions of calmness still made Grutma and the others a little curious.
Even if you are a warrior, your physical strength will not be so good?
Seeing the three of them looking at her curiously, Li Wanyan felt a little embarrassed and buried her head behind Ren Xiaofan.
Ren Xiaofan smiled heartily, "Haha, we are not warriors, but monks. I wonder if Uncle Groot has heard of it?"
"Monk?"
Grutma was stunned, obviously he had never heard of it. But Tashi reminded him, "It's a Taoist priest from the Central Plains. He came here to preach some time ago."
"Oh...no wonder." Grutma nodded suddenly.
After the various sects were announced on Yiling.com, they not only posted promotional advertisements on the Internet, but also sent elders and disciples of the sects to preach throughout the country. It just so happened that there were monks in cities near the Kuntian Mountains who came to preach.
As a well-known local wealthy family, the Grutma family should know about this. They have even seen those Central Plains Taoist priests display some magical spells.
Therefore, when he looked at Ren Xiaofan again, his eyes became full of reverence, "It turns out he is a Taoist priest from the Central Plains. I am disrespectful."
Although Grotema is a Tibetan, he still understands Chinese culture quite well, which can be seen from his words and deeds.
"Haha, Uncle Groot is too polite."
....
Although it was getting late, the Groot family had no intention of stopping to rest. After all, the seriously ill old father was still waiting to use iceberg snow lotus as medicine to cure his illness.
Therefore, after they finished eating, they hurriedly hit the road again.
The cold wind at night was still blowing. The higher you went up, the stronger the wind and the lower the temperature. Even though several people were wearing unusually thick clothes, they still felt bitingly cold.
It wasn't until after eleven o'clock in the evening that we were about two-fifths of the way. Grutma decided to stay here for one night and wait until the sun comes out tomorrow before moving forward, otherwise it would be too cold.
Since the owner said so, Ren Xiaofan certainly would not refuse. He was thinking that there was no fire at night and he would freeze to death. Unexpectedly, Grutma and the others had already lit a gas fire over there.
Well... times are progressing, technology is getting stronger, and I am the only one who knows nothing...
Although there was a fire, the temperature at night was too low. A sleeping bag alone was obviously not enough, so a simple tent was still needed.
There were two small tents, with three men sleeping in one and two women sleeping in another, but Ren Xiaofan didn't need them and stayed outside the tents to guard the surroundings.
Although he had escaped so far and it was still the number one sacred mountain in China, Ren Xiaofan was not sure that the underworld would not pursue him, so he still had to be vigilant.
Therefore, he opened his spiritual consciousness to the maximum, sensing a small area around him.
Of course, he didn't forget to practice when he was sensing his surroundings.
In the Dantian, as the aura from the air was absorbed into the body, the source of Tao began to rotate slowly. Bits and pieces of Tao Qi were transformed out, filling Ren Xiaofan's limbs and bones.
We are only half a step away from entering the late stage of Taoism, but we have made breakthroughs no matter what.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
No, this made Ren Xiaofan a little irritable.
"Since your cultivation is stagnant, don't continue to absorb Qi, or you may become obsessed with it." Seeing Ren Xiaofan still meditating and moving around the sky, the purple unicorn in the purple lin jade pendant couldn't help but speak.
He and Ren Xiaofan are now in a state of both prosperity and loss. Of course, Ren Xiaofan will not be allowed to continue practicing.
"What should I do? I won't be stuck here forever, right?"
Ren Xiaofan was a little depressed. He thought he might be able to make a breakthrough using the time tonight, but who knows, he couldn't make any progress.
"Haha... That's not the case. I don't think about your cultivation speed. If you can easily break through to the late stage of Dao tonight, that would be truly abnormal." Zi Qilin explained contemptuously.
Calculating carefully, it has only been two months since Ren Xiaofan became a monk, and he has already caught up with others who have been practicing for more than 20 years. This speed cannot be described even by riding a rocket.
"Oh well."
Ren Xiaofan scratched his head. He was a legendary beast and knew a lot. Since he said he wouldn't get stuck, then he wouldn't.
The cold wind seemed to feel the pure presence of the fire, and they all came here to "warm themselves".
Fortunately, the gas flame was windproof and was not blown out by the wind.
The night is cool, the starry sky is long, and there is still a lot of time in one night.
Since he couldn't hold back his anger, Ren Xiaofan simply took out the "Jade Sky Sword Technique" given to him by Li Yin.
After a brief glance, Ren Xiaofan discovered that the "Jade Heaven Sword Technique" was not a magic attack. It was a pure sword move, clearly meant for martial arts practitioners to practice.
"Practice. If you want to become a truly strong person, you must not only be proficient in applying Taoism, but also follow up on your own martial arts in a timely manner." Zi Qilin reminded.
"Well, I know."
Ren Xiaofan has always had the martial arts dream of walking around the world with a sword. But after becoming a monk, he cared more about his cultivation and the pursuit of Taoism.
Now, there was a good opportunity to learn swordsmanship and sword moves. Even without Zi Qilin's reminder, he would still learn it. Otherwise, wouldn't the deal with Li Yin be in vain?
Turning back to the first page and looking carefully at every move on it, Ren Xiaofan felt a little confused.
I used to read martial arts novels where the protagonist accidentally obtained a secret book and then practiced on his own to become a supreme master. But when it was his turn, he discovered that this was not the case.
Although there are graphic and text analysis, Ren Xiaofan still feels a little uncomfortable when actually doing these actions.
"I say, don't practice so much at once. Focus on one move first and practice it slowly. Once you master one move, it will be much easier."
Zi Qilin didn't want to speak at first, but when he saw that Ren Xiaofan's body was like hemiplegia, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only give a helpless reminder.
"Ah? Is that so?"
Ren Xiaofan, who was doing the "turn around and point his sword" motion, was stunned for a moment.
Zi Qilin did not answer, but Ren Xiaofan knew that his silence represented affirmation.
Therefore, as Zi Qilin said, he began to focus on practicing the first move in "Jade Sky Sword Technique".
The peach wood sword can no longer be used, and Ren Xiaofan is reluctant to mess with it. Instead, he takes out the extremely hard embroidered copper sword and realizes his martial arts dream in this cold and windy night...
