Chapter 306 Beihan City
Beihan City
Xu Mu, who was wearing a thick animal skin coat and animal boots, stepped on the road as clean as crystal and followed the flow of people step by step, looking around like an ordinary casual cultivator.
Pedestrians on the road and customers in shops would occasionally look at him, but they would quickly look away.
In this world full of cultivators, there are all kinds of weirdos. Although Xu Mu's appearance is slightly different from that of the locals, it doesn't stand out.
While walking along, Xu Mu noticed that the houses here were mostly made of three materials: ice, earth, and stone. The tops were mainly round arches, and there were very few high-rise buildings.
"It should be to avoid accumulation of snow!"
In this area, heavy snowfall occurs every three or five times, and snow can accumulate in extreme periods of time, only to melt during certain seasons.
Although practitioners can use spells and formations to easily clear the snow and ice on the roof, it still consumes energy. Even if it can save trouble, most people will still choose to save trouble.
Unless it is like Beihan Immortal Palace, which does not consume spiritual stones and activates formations all the time, and has a large number of people to clear the snow.
In addition to the houses they live in, due to environmental reasons, people here usually wear thick fur coats, wrapped up like rice dumplings. They only become thinner during the foundation building stage.
This is also a strange place. The higher the cultivation level, the fewer clothes.
In fact, practitioners in the foundation building stage can already protect themselves from the cold and heat, unless it is extremely cold. Xu Mu feels that habit should account for a large part of the reason why they wear fur coats.
In addition, it also means just in case.
If the spiritual energy in the body is exhausted, or if the body is seriously injured and there is no clothes on the body, and ends up freezing to death, then it would be an unjust death.
So no matter how high or low your cultivation level is, you will basically wear a piece of clothing to keep out the cold. The only difference is how much.
The clothes Xu Mu wore were purchased on the road and were made of snow bear skin, which is common in the northern regions.
In addition to being the most common monster in the North, snow bears are also the most commonly used means of transportation, similar to the oxen and horses in the Central Region.
Right next to Xu Mu, there were several huge white bears, pulling the carriage slowly past.
After a long period of domestication, these snow bears have become very docile and will basically not hurt people. Even some ordinary people can domesticate them.
After walking around, Xu Mu found an inn to stay. For the next period of time, he spent time inquiring about teahouses, restaurants, shops, auction houses, etc. Xu Mu almost visited them all. Lingshi quickly got to know a lot of low-level monks.
With his cultivation and wealth, it would really be a dimension-reducing blow to make friends with low-level monks.
With the help of information obtained from various channels, in just a few months, his understanding of the Northern Territory and Beihan Immortal Palace reached the level of a local elder.
After he felt that he was about the same, he began to contact upper-level monks. Although it took a lot of effort, he quickly opened up the situation and got to know a lot of foundation builders, even those in the golden elixir stage.
After some inquiring, he got a lot of extremely useful information.
First is the Sea of Mists!
In an area about a thousand miles away from the coast, there is a fog that blocks out the sky and covers an unknown area. It is called the Sea of Mist.
Not as imagined, the entire sea area is covered in fog.
Another thing is that entering the fog to explore treasures and collect resources is not a rare thing. It has started thousands of years ago.
A large number of practitioners came in and out and summed up a lot of practical experience.
Two of them are the most important.
First, the foggy sea can make people confused about their direction. Xu Mu has known this for a long time. What he doesn't know is that the practitioners in the Northern Territory have already found a solution.
A small monster called the Mist Bird can find its way back after entering the Mist Sea.
In this way, practitioners will not wander around like headless flies, and safety will be greatly improved.
Also because of the appearance of the Mist Bird, the number of people exploring the Mist Sea became more frequent and more frequent.
Many rare treasures have been found, which has improved the overall level of cultivators in the Northern Territory.
The other is that there are many poisonous gases and alien spiritual energies in the foggy sea. Either of these two things will cause huge trouble to the practitioner if they are inhaled into the body.
The cultivators in the Northern Territory also found a way to deal with it.
A robe called Yuanliyi can isolate harmful spiritual energy and poisonous energy, greatly reducing the chance of a practitioner being in danger.
It can be said that with these two things, Xu Mu can try to find the Tianchi of Good Fortune even without the Life Stone.
I have to sigh that the creativity of practitioners is quite strong.
"Whether we can find the Life Stone or not, we must get these two things!"
Originally, if he couldn't find the Life Stone, he would definitely give up, but now that he had some hope, he would definitely give it a try.
The maker of Yuan Liyi is Beihan Immortal Palace. As long as the spiritual stone is produced, it can be purchased at any time for people below the seventh level.
There are rumors that the person who first made Yuan Liyi was a casual cultivator, and later it was purchased by Beihan Immortal Palace and became the only one in the entire Northern Territory.
Xu Mu had no shortage of spirit stones and directly purchased two pieces of sixth-order Yuan Liyi. If they were damaged, they could be replaced directly.
As for the mist bird, I did not buy it because the mist bird cannot survive in the nearby area, and the mist bird cannot be artificially raised. If you want to buy it, you can only go to the area near the sea.
As long as it's not a non-renewable treasure, it's not difficult to buy it with his ability, so he doesn't take it to heart.
"The next step is to enter the Northern Han Immortal Palace!"
Speaking of this, Xu Mu felt quite lucky. There happened to be a mission in Beihan Immortal Palace. As long as he could complete it, he could enter the treasure house of Beihan Immortal Palace and pick a treasure at will.
"There should be some news!"
Just when Xu Mu was thinking about it, news came from the messenger slip in his pocket. Xu Mu checked it with his spiritual mind and immediately got a message.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, there is news about the thousand-year snow lotus you want! Come to Xuemei Tower!"
Xu Mu's eyes lit up, he immediately put away the message slip and rushed towards Xuemei Tower in the message.
Xuemei Tower is a high-end restaurant in Beihan City. It usually only entertains practitioners who are in the foundation-building stage and above. In addition to providing basic drinks and entertainment, it also holds some small exchanges and auctions. It is quite popular among the cultivation circles in Beihan City. famous.
"Master Xu, you are here!"
As soon as he entered the hall, a boy who knew Xu Mu came forward to receive him. After Xu Mu told him about the room, he immediately took him there.
The box opened, and there were already two practitioners sitting inside, an old man and a young girl.
Seeing Xu Mu come in, the girl grabbed the storage bag at her waist fiercely, like a frightened little white rabbit.
