The land is frozen, and the ice covers thousands of miles.
The trees in the forest have all turned into frozen wood, which gives them a unique look.
Zhou Yu and others found a place to stay near a cave.
Leaving the loaded carriage outside, everyone lit torches in the cave and prepared to spend the night.
"Little brother, there is only one blanket left for the night. Why don't you and your sister squeeze in?" The old man found Zhou Yu and Wu Tiantian with a blanket in his hand.
Zhou Yu was stunned. Only one left
Wu Tiantian, standing by, had a strange expression on his face, but he felt inexplicably expectant in his heart.
What would it feel like to share a blanket with Zhou Yu
She muttered to herself.
Zhou Yu shook his head, "It's okay, one is enough, I don't need to cover it."
As he said this, he took the blanket from the old man and said, "Thank you, old sir."
Zhou Yu handed the blanket to Wu Tiantian, "You can cover yourself and rest."
Wu Tiantian was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What about you? It's so cold here, and you're wearing so little."
Zhou Yu shook his head. "I am a cultivator. I can still withstand this little bit of cold."
"Okay then." Wu Tiantian nodded. He felt a little disappointed, but he still obeyed the instructions and lay down in the cave with a blanket to rest.
Zhou Yu came to the cave entrance alone, and it was already dark.
The earth was dead silent, without a sound except for the sound of the campfire burning in the cave.
Zhou Yu had previously sensed some strange aura around him.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be a monster.
Unsure of the strength.
But he couldn't be careless, so he decided to take the initiative to guard outside all night.
Now, his strength has reached the peak of foundation building.
Having previously broken through to the late stage of foundation building, and with the accumulation of experience over the past month, his realm had already stabilized.
Moreover, he would practice alone during his rest time, so his realm was close to the peak of foundation building.
However, although we are close, there is still a long way to go.
Zhou Yu lay on the carriage, leaning against the cargo, practicing in a towel while releasing his senses to sense his surroundings.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that a person came out of the cave.
I opened my eyes and saw Xiaoya coming out.
Xiaoya came straight to Zhou Yu, climbed onto the carriage and sat down, wrapped in a thick blanket to keep warm.
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you running out instead of resting inside?"
"I'm afraid you'll steal my goods." Xiaoya curled her lips and said with distrust on her face.
Zhou Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he didn't bother to argue with the little girl.
At this time, Xiaoya said, "My father passed away early, and I took over the position of the clan leader. Although I am still young, I should also shoulder the responsibilities of the clan leader. Don't even think about stealing my goods."
Zhou Yu didn't expect that Xiaoya, who was only so old, probably about ten years old, had already become the clan leader.
It's quite remarkable.
But thinking that he would steal the goods would be a big misunderstanding.
Zhou Yu knew what was loaded on the truck at a glance.
It was nothing more than some food, clothes, and a few herbs.
Zhou Yu suddenly became curious and asked, "What does your family do for a living?"
Xiaoya didn't hide it and said directly: "Pills."
Zhou Yu was stunned. "Pills?"
Xiaoya nodded, a proud look on her face, "Yeah, you didn't expect it, don't look at me as young as I am, I can refine high-quality elixirs!"
"It won't be long before I can learn to refine first-grade elixirs with Grandpa Golin."
Her rosy, tender face was full of pride.
Zhou Yu really didn't expect that their family actually made a living by refining pills.
Moreover, at Xiaoya's age, she is already able to refine first-grade elixirs. This talent should not be underestimated.
I believe that with such talent, Xiaoya will have no problem becoming a third-grade alchemist before the age of twenty.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu began to look at Xiaoya with a new respect.
If you haven't experienced it, you won't know how difficult it is to make elixirs.
When his master asked him to memorize the books on refining pills, Zhou Yu had no idea how much time he had spent on it and how many times he had experimented.
If he hadn't had his master to guide him at the time, he would never have been able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Unfortunately, Master is now in deep sleep and no one knows when he will wake up.
"But the Gelie family has an alchemist who is more talented than me. He is only one year older than me, but he can already refine first-grade pills." Xiaoya suddenly said, feeling a little disappointed.
Zhou Yu smiled and took out a book of alchemy experience. "This is for you. This is what I wrote when I had nothing to do. If you can learn all of it, you will definitely be better than the people of the Gelie family."
Zhou Yu didn't know what kind of existence the Gelie family was.
He wasn't interested in knowing.
The only purpose of his trip was to send Wu Tiantian to Taichu Sect.
At most, they will rest in the frozen land for a few days and then leave.
After that, he continued to improve his strength and headed to the Yanyue Sect!
Before going to the Yanyue Sect, one must reach the Yukong Realm. This is the goal Zhou Yu set for himself.
Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, then took the secret book that recorded Zhou Yu's experience in refining medicine from Zhou Yu, and then asked unexpectedly:
"Are you also an alchemist?"
Zhou Yu nodded without denying it.
Xiaoya's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "What rank of alchemist are you?"
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment. This was really difficult to answer.
Generally, alchemists need to have an alchemist certificate.
There are different certifications for different grades.
You need to go to a professional place for assessment.
But Zhou Yu had never been there, so he didn't know what rank of alchemist he was.
However, Zhou Yu was able to refine the foundation-building pill.
The general foundation-building pill is a third-grade pill.
But what Zhou Yu refined at that time was not an ordinary foundation-building pill.
Instead, it is an ancient foundation-building pill, whose quality is close to the fourth grade.
Therefore, Zhou Yu estimated that he was probably close to being a fourth-grade alchemist.
"Third grade, I guess." Zhou Yu replied.
Hearing this, Xiaoya's eyes dimmed instantly, and she muttered, "The one competing with us is a fourth-grade alchemist. We have no chance of winning."
"Competition?" Zhou Yu was stunned.
Xiaoya explained, "That's right. We have an alchemy family competition every year in the Frozen Land. Only by becoming the first can you operate more alchemy stores, sell more elixirs, and have a good reputation and popularity."
"It's a pity that our Xiang family hasn't won first place in three years since my father passed away."
Zhou Yu didn't respond.
He was not interested in the alchemy competition in the frozen land.
But at this time, Xiaoya said:
"I heard that there is a mysterious person offering a reward for this competition. The first place winner will get a piece of black fire crystal. This will be a good deal for the Glie family."
Black fire crystal
Zhou Yu was stunned.
