"Sir, are you just going to let them go up like this?" The leader of the guards asked in a low voice, somewhat unwillingly.
The young master of Tiandang Mountain curled his lips, revealing a sneer, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Let's not talk about whether they can withstand the cold along the way. Even if they really go to the top of the mountain and reach Hanyue Pond, it's hard to say whether they can still survive!"
When the leader of the guards heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Young Master, I think that in Hanyue Pond..." The leader of the guards showed murderous intent in his eyes and made a beheading gesture.
"Hmph, when the time comes, do you still need me to take action?"
The young master of Tiandang Mountain showed a playful smile, and then walked towards the mountain.
"Taoist Priest Qingsongzi, please!" Old Dong followed, enthusiastically holding Qingsongzi's arm and walking side by side with him.
Qing Songzi looked back at Lin Hai uneasily. When he saw Lin Hai smiled faintly at him and made a casual gesture, he felt relieved and followed Lao Dong up the mountain.
Lin Hai held Xiao Ying in his arms, and the two of them kept some distance away from them and walked at the back.
"Old Dong, aren't you afraid of the severe cold?"
The further up he went, the biting cold became stronger, almost freezing people to death. Qing Songzi had to summon three fireballs again to surround himself to keep warm.
But the old Dong next to him looked particularly relaxed, as if the severe cold on the mountain had no effect on him, which made Qing Songzi curious.
"Haha, Master Qingsongzi doesn't know something!" Old Dong nodded and smiled, "Before I went up the mountain, I took a pill. Within six hours, I was not afraid of the severe cold!"
"It's a pity that I didn't know that I would meet the Taoist priest, otherwise I would have brought one more with me when I came out!"
"There is such a magical elixir?" Qingsongzi couldn't help but marveled after hearing this.
"It's not magical, it's just something that an old man made casually!"
"What did you say!" Old Dong's words almost scared Qing Songzi to the ground, and then he stared at Old Dong with a look of disbelief and shock on his face!
"You mean, you can make alchemy!!!" Qing Songzi asked in a high-pitched voice!
"I know a little bit about it. After the Taoist Master saved the old man that day, by chance, he met a strange man who taught him some alchemy techniques and allowed him to refine some not-so-complicated elixirs!"
Old Dong spoke lightly, but he couldn't help but show a trace of amusement on his face.
"It's such a wonderful day after a farewell. It's no wonder that the young master of Tiandang Mountain has given you three points of praise. I admire you so much!"
Qing Songzi finally understood why, with his status as the young master of Tiandang Mountain, he had to betray Old Dong. It turned out that Old Dong was actually an alchemist!
Lin Hai and Xiao Ying were walking behind. Although they were some distance away, how could Old Dong's words escape Lin Hai's ears?
Lin Hai was also surprised after hearing what Lao Dong said.
The profession of alchemist has such a respectable status. It was described in some immortal cultivation novels that Lin Hai had read. Needless to say, he really didn't expect that Qing Songzi had such an awesome friend.
After walking up nearly forty or fifty meters, the young master of Tiandang Mountain suddenly stopped.
Looking back, he saw Lao Dong and Qing Songzi about ten meters behind, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Old Dong, hurry up!"
"It's coming!" Old Dong agreed, and then looked at Qing Songzi with some embarrassment.
At this moment, Qing Songzi, although there were three fireballs surrounding her body, her teeth were chattering from the cold, her whole body was shaking, and she couldn't hold on any longer.
"Taoist Master, it will only get colder if you go up there. Otherwise, don't go up!"
"But..." Qing Songzi hesitated for a while, just as Lin Hai and Xiao Ying rushed over.
"Qingsongzi, you don't have to go, just wait for me here!" Lin Hai said caringly. Qingsongzi was only in the early stage of condensation. He was able to persist up to this point because of the light of the fire system. He was already very good.
Not bad.
"Senior Lin, it's all my fault for being incompetent..."
"Okay, it has nothing to do with you, it's this place, it's too weird!"
Lin Hai looked upward. He was still at least four to five hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, but the cold here had penetrated deep into his bones. Even though Lin Hai had been circulating his true energy to repel the cold air, he also felt a little uncomfortable.
On the contrary, Sakura next to her had a smile on her face, as if she didn't feel the cold at all, which made people feel extremely weird.
"Old Dong!" Qing Songzi sighed and glanced at Old Dong.
"The poor Taoist has little strength, so he won't be able to show off. Mr. Lin, I hope you will take care of him on your behalf!"
Old Dong glanced at Lin Hai, then nodded towards Qing Songzi.
"must!"
Leaving Qingsongzi behind, Lin Hai took Xiaoying, and Lao Dong quickly caught up with the young master of Tiandang Mountain.
"Hey, I made it this far without freezing to death!" The young master of Tiandang Mountain couldn't help but sarcastically said when he saw Lin Hai following him.
"Don't worry, even if you die, I can't die!" Lin Hai smiled faintly and replied coldly.
The young master of Tiandang Mountain was not angry this time, but gave Lin Hai a slightly playful look.
"Very good, I hope you can still laugh after a while!"
A few people walked up another ten meters, and suddenly four big men dressed similarly to the previous guards appeared in front of them. After seeing Mr. Tiandang Mountain, they immediately clasped their fists and saluted respectfully.
"Master!"
The young master of Tiandang Mountain nodded with a solemn expression, then frowned.
"How is the situation ahead?"
"Back to my young master, about every ten meters, several snow wolves will appear. Their strength is similar to that of a monk in the early stage of condensation. However, in such a bad situation, they can exert their strength in the late stage of condensation. It should not be underestimated.
!" A big man with a trace of dried blood on his thigh replied.
After hearing this, the young master of Tiandang Mountain couldn't help but frown tightly, with a hint of impatience on his face.
"This snow wolf is really hateful!"
They had walked here before and were blocked by a snow wolf. Although the snow wolf was killed in the end, the big man's leg also suffered a slight injury, which affected his combat effectiveness.
These four big men are different from the previous bodyguards. They are the four martial arts masters that the young master of Tiandang Mountain conquered when he was wandering around the world. They are known as the Four Arhats of Gold, Silver, Bronze and Iron. They are all peak martial arts masters and are loyal to the young master of Tiandang Mountain.
Geng Geng, and powerful, is his right-hand man.
But what is unexpected is that after just experiencing the first battle, Iron Arhat was injured a few hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, which immediately made the young master of Tiandang Mountain look worried.
If we continue to fight all the way up to the top of the mountain, everyone in the Four Arhats may be injured, and some may even die. You never know. In this case, the losses will be huge!
But there is only one mountain road leading to Hanyue Pond. It is simply impossible to reach the peak without killing all the snow wolves blocking the road!
"How are you four?" the young master of Tiandang Mountain asked slightly worriedly.
"Before I came up, I took Mr. Dong's elixir and I am not afraid of the severe cold. Please rest assured, sir. We will do our best to clear the roadblocks and escort the young master up the mountain!"
Mr. Tiandangshan nodded, but suddenly turned his head, looked at Lin Hai behind him, and spoke proudly.
"You can go up the mountain if you want, but I won't allow anyone to sit back and enjoy it!"
With that said, the young master of Tiandang Mountain pointed upward, and then said to Lin Hai in a commanding tone.
