Chapter 182 Traveling and Qualification Improvement

"Teacher, this fruit is so precious, do you really want to give it to me?" Xu Guan couldn't help saying after understanding what Qin Sanli meant.

He and Qin Sanli are both teachers and friends, although the relationship is good, but the value of this fruit is too precious after all, it is not an ordinary thing.

It's a bit embarrassing for him to go whoring for nothing like this.

"Otherwise, keep it and bury it with me. Take it. In exchange, after I die, find me a place with good mountains and rivers to be buried." Qin Sanli said with a light smile.

Hearing this, Xu Gu'an didn't say anything more.

Qin Sanli has already seen everything, and there is only Xu Gu'an, the successor of the mantle, who is his closest person.

This fruit was naturally given to Xu Guan.

A few days later, when the two were ready, Xu Guan found a carriage and left the town quickly.

They are going far away on this trip.

The place where Qin Sanli stored the fruit was located between the boundary of Donglan Mountain and the boundary of Yanqiu Mountain.

Although Xu Gu'an has never been to this boundary of Yanqiu Mountain, he has heard of it before.

Just because his housekeeper, Zhang Yang, was originally from the Yanqiu Mountains before his disaster.

It is not far from Donglan Town, nor is it close.

"I heard that the side of Yanqiu Mountain has been burned by the flames of war recently, and it is very chaotic." The carriage gradually drove away from the boundary of Donglan Mountain, Xu Gu'an looked at the scenery outside the carriage and said.

Before he set off, he had already investigated the situation in the surrounding areas of the two places recently, and he knew that the current situation of the Yanqiu Mountain boundary was not very good in general.

"It's okay, we don't go into the area of ​​Yanqiu Mountain." The old god Qin Sanli said while sitting in the carriage, his figure swayed with the movement of the carriage.

The place they are going to is the intersection of the two worlds, which has nothing to do with the war.

The speed of the carriage was neither fast nor slow, but Xu Gu'an enjoyed a lot of scenery along the way.

The majestic Donglan Mountains behind him are constantly moving away until they completely disappear from Xu Gu'an's vision.

Speaking of which, this is also the first time that Xu Gu'an has left the Donglan Mountain area.

Occasionally on weekdays, I would like to explore the world beyond the Donglan Mountains, but I didn't take any action after all.

Until today, under the leadership of Qin Sanli, it was only a small step taken.

"Crossing this river is the boundary of Yanqiu Mountain, which is basically the same as the boundary of Donglan Mountain. There is also a Qingshui Town and many villages.

It’s just that in comparison, the boundary of Donglan Mountain is more remote, while the boundary of Yanqiu Mountain is closer to the big city. If you want to go to Suicheng Grandmaster Martial Arts Academy in the future, you will take this road, and you need to cross Yanqiu Mountain.” Qin Sanli said.

Xu Guan nodded and wrote it down.

In contrast, Qin Sanli traveled all over the world in order to continue his cultivation in his early years, and his vision was not comparable to that of Xu Guan.

Xu Gu'an now roughly understands that the centers of the human race in this world are those big cities.

After that, around the big city, the surrounding land boundaries and the towns were divided.

The big city is like the sun, constantly radiating its influence to the outside world.

Towns surround large cities, like other planets.

And around a town, there will be many villages dotted on it, they are like satellites of the town.

The farther the town is from the big city, the less affected it is by the big city, and it is relatively poor and backward.

The closer the town is to the big city, the closer the connection is, the busier and more prosperous the town will be, the better the development will be.

"This is also a double-edged sword. If the big city falls into war like this, these towns that are close to the big city and enjoy the dividends of the big city all the year round are often the first to be affected.

On the contrary, Donglan Town where we are located and the surrounding villages have not been affected by the war so far. "The two talked, and Qin Sanli continued.

"I rather like the tranquility of Donglan Town." Xu Guan said with a smile.

Qin Sanli laughed when he heard this, "If I had your talent in the early years, I must have been arrogant and arrogant, and no one would look down on me. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in this remote Donglan Town for a day.

I just want to go to that big city as soon as possible to show my skills, sway my blood, and make a name for myself.

The word youthful and frivolous really doesn't show in you."

Xu Gu'an also smiled.

What Qin Sanli didn't know was that Xu Gu'an had already passed the age of youth and frivolity.

Today, he looks like a young boy, but he is already an uncle in his heart. Except for the occasional hot-blooded, most of the time he is rational, judging the situation and weighing the pros and cons.

The two chatted, occasionally had game, and sat by the river to enjoy the scenery, just like camping, and the days on the road were not boring.

During the period, Xu Gu'an also saw many groups of refugees on the road. They knew that if they wanted to escape the war, the farther away from the big city the better.

As Xu Guan's lonely carriage passed by, many of them had evil thoughts.

Want to hijack the carriage and snatch the food and other supplies on the carriage.

Xu Gu'an has no mercy for these villains who are in it.

Anyone who dared to offend him was directly chopped with a knife.

After such a little deterrence, the refugee team did not dare to approach the carriage anymore.

Soon the carriage gradually deviated from the border of Yanqiu Mountain, and this place began to be gradually deserted.

The temperature has also dropped, with occasional cool breezes.

It is still September, and the end of summer has not yet passed, so the cool wind blowing makes the climate here abnormal.

From a distance, you can see a white snow-capped mountain in the distance.

Compared with the surrounding scenery and mountains, this snow-capped mountain seems to have passed the cold winter in advance, which is very abrupt.

Such a small area of ​​climate that seems to violate the laws of nature and is born against the environment is actually not uncommon in this world.

Qin Sanli, who had traveled abroad, was already familiar with it, that is, Xu Guan was surprised when he saw it for the first time.

That gust of cool wind was blowing from the place where the big snow mountain was located.

This snow-capped mountain is also the destination of their trip.

"Only here is a big snow mountain. Is it caused by the terrain, or is it a phenomenon caused by the invisible environmental magnetic field? Or is it some other mysterious factor?"

Xu Gu'an thought to himself, the carriage got closer and closer, and came to the foot of the snow mountain.

"It's been so many years, and it's still as cold as ever when I come back here." Qin Sanli got out of the carriage, only feeling that the cold wind mixed with frost gave him a headache, so he immediately added a thick woolen cloak and put on a thick felt cap.

Now his body is not as good as before, if he doesn't step up to keep warm, the wind and cold disease will find him.

Xu Gu An is strong and strong, but he is not afraid of the wind and cold here.

He placed the carriage between a few boulders and bushes a little further away, and then went up to the snowy mountain with Qin Sanli.

The snow on the mountainside at the foot of the mountain is actually not thick, just a thin layer.

But under the snow, there is a layer of solid ice. If you are not careful and your feet slip, you may roll down the snow mountain.

Fortunately, both of them are not idle people. Although Qin Sanli is getting old, but after all, he has a solid foundation in cultivation before, so it is not impossible for him to walk this mountain road.

"Unfortunately, no new copy has been opened," Xu Guan thought with some regret.

Now every time he goes to a new place, he always thinks about whether he can open the copy.

He is especially concerned about this matter.

But in the real world, there are only a few places where dungeons can be opened, and it just doesn't appear frequently.

After walking uphill for a while, Xu Gu'an looked up again, and he was still far away from the top of the mountain.

This is a big snow mountain with a height of several thousand meters. If the slope is included, the distance they have to climb is quite long.

It would be fine if there were no other troubles, but in the wild, this possibility is quite small.

Not long after, the two met a group of snow wolves with thick hair.

The snow wolves are all huge, and they are not ordinary beasts at first glance.

"Most of these snow wolves are at the second level, but occasionally there are those who are comparable to the third level of Yijin level." Qin Sanli said upon seeing this, signaling Xu Gu'an not to be careless.

Xu Guan nodded, took two steps forward, and blocked Qin Sanli behind him.

This kind of confrontation with the enemy naturally requires him to come.

Qin Sanli is an old bone, and it is not easy to go up the snow-capped mountains with his peers, and it is impossible to provide combat support.

The group of snow wolves seemed to realize that Xu Gu'an was not easy to mess with, so they didn't rush forward for a long time, they only neighed in a low voice.

A pair of same silver pupils stared at Xu Gu'an firmly.

Xu Gu'an had experience raising wolves in the game before, and knew that the other party had already entered the hunting state, so it was basically impossible to be scared off.

With one hand on the handle of the knife, Xu Gu'an walked towards the pack of wolves.

Roar!
Seeing this, Snow Wolf couldn't bear it anymore, and finally rushed forward.

The light of the knife in Xu Gu'an's hand suddenly shredded the snow falling in the air, and slashed across the body of the pounced snow wolf.

The snow wolf has a thick layer of fur, which can not only keep out the cold, but also is very tough. Even in the market, this kind of snow wolf fur is also an excellent clothing material, and it is the most valuable part of the snow wolf.

However, Xu Guan's goal for this trip was not hunting, and he had no intention of wasting time on these things.

After beheading several snow wolves in succession with ease, the leader of the biggest snow wolf couldn't bear it and rushed over.

It is faster, stronger, and more agile, and its combat power seems to have reached the third level.

Only this snow wolf can withstand Xu Gu'an's knife, but that's all.

Xu Gu'an's real combat power now far surpasses that of practitioners at the same level of body refinement. He has even beheaded fourth-order beasts, let alone these second- and third-order snow wolves.

In just three or two minutes, Xu Gu'an killed more than ten snow wolves, including the wolf leader.

The rest all fled away, not daring to approach Xu Gu'an again.

"Teacher, do you want to get some wolf meat to eat on the road?" Xu Gu'an asked.

He has vaguely heard that the snow wolf meat is cold and has a unique taste, making it an excellent ingredient.

"Bring some, it tastes really good." Qin Sanli smiled lightly, he didn't care about the wolf meat, and now he looked at Xu Gu'an with only relief.

What Xu Gu An used just now was not the blue-pin saber technique Fengyu Tianluo, but the pure Tianluo saber technique taught to him by Qin Sanli.

The realm of Dzogchen is not inferior to him, the one who created the sword technique.

As a student, Xu Gu'an is definitely the kind of genius that the teacher loves and is most satisfied with.

Xu Gu'an cut off some wolf meat, and the team continued to move forward.

Along the way, I also encountered other characteristic beasts on the snow-capped mountains, but at most there were three levels of beasts, and no beasts above level four appeared.

Compared with the Donglan Mountains, this snow mountain is much less dangerous, and it is completely within Xu Gu'an's control.

This is another reason why Qin Sanli insisted that Xu Gu'an's physical training should reach the fourth stage of Yijin.

Without enough strength, even going up to this snow-capped mountain is very difficult.

"Back then, there didn't seem to be so many third-tier monsters on this snow mountain." Qin Sanli couldn't help muttering as he watched more and more third-tier monsters appear frequently.

This snow-capped mountain is more dangerous than when he was in his early years.

Fortunately, the two finally reached the top of the mountain, and did not encounter the fourth-order beast that worried him.

The snow on the top of the mountain is thicker, and the temperature has dropped to an extremely low level.

Even with his physique, he felt a little uncomfortable on the top of the mountain, and his hands and feet began to become cold.

Looking around the top of the mountain, there is nothing but a vast expanse of whiteness.

Even those ferocious beasts seemed unwilling to come here, after all, there were no resources at all here.

Qin Sanli also took a fancy to this point, and just now used this place as his natural big freezer to seal up the fruit.

Soon, Qin Sanli came to a snowy place on the top of a mountain according to his memory, and looked at his feet.

"It's here."

Hearing this, Xu Guan picked up the prepared shovel and began to plow the snow.

Further down is solid ice, the hardness of which Xu Gu'an can break into pieces.

About a few meters deep, no fruit was found, but the sound of the knocking caused a small avalanche.

"It's still underneath." Qin Sanli found a piece of frozen cloth in the broken ice layer, knowing that he was buried deep in the right place.

It's just that the ice layer has thickened, making it much more difficult to dig out the sealed fruit.

After another half an hour of beating, another strip of cloth was dug out.

"That's right, that's right, go on down." Qin Sanli was even more excited when he saw the second mark he had placed.

"Teacher, you are buried too low." Xu Gu'an couldn't help complaining.

Even he was a little tired from digging right now.

"Isn't this just in case, it would be a pity if it was taken away by someone or destroyed by other ferocious beasts." Qin Sanli spread his hands.

Such a precious thing must be carefully sealed.

Xu Gu'an kept digging like this for a long time before he dug out the small iron box that Qin Sanli put in.

"Did you find it?" Qin Sanli asked above.

At this time, Xu Gu'an seemed to be in a deep well, in an ice cave.

Holding the iron box, Xu Gu'an jumped out of the hole in the ice.

When Qin Sanli saw the familiar iron box, he burst out laughing.

Buried for many years, this fruit finally came in handy.

"open to take a look."

Xu Gu'an forcibly pried the box open, revealing that the fruit inside was also covered with frost.

Under the white frost layer is a red fruit, about the size of a fist.

"Have it!"

After traveling thousands of miles and living up to expectations, Xu Gu'an got this fruit.

"Let's go, go back, I don't know how this fruit will affect you." Qin Sanli said with narrowed eyes.

In the evening, the cold wind on the top of the mountain became extremely turbulent, mixed with snow, and hit the body with a bone-chilling icy cold.

Even the visibility is much smaller, and the surrounding area is white.

Xu Gu'an also looked forward to the fruit in his hand.

Although he still has that piece of Heavenly Mystery Jade that is slowly improving his personal qualifications, it is too slow after all.

It needs to be carried with him all the time and cultivated for a long time in order to improve his aptitude level little by little.

After the qualification level was raised to E level last time, it has not been raised again so far.

He deduced that the higher the qualification level, the longer it will take to upgrade, and the current Heavenly Mystery Beast Egg has taken away part of the natural energy output from the jade pendant, which makes him want to continue to rely on this Heavenly Secret Jade Pendant to improve Qualifications will take a long time.

It's not as fast as this fruit's improvement effect.

For Qin Sanli back then, this fruit was a great opportunity to change his fate.

For Xu Guan now, it is also a precious opportunity.

The two escaped the avalanche and turned back down the snow mountain all the way.

It was nightfall when they got back to the carriage.

The fruit has also been thawed in Xu Gu'an's hands, and put into a prepared medicine box, so as to preserve the medicine's power as much as possible.

Spend the night at the foot of the snow-capped mountains and take a break by the way.

In the early morning of the second day, the carriage drove slowly on the same road.

When they were about to enter the border of Donglan Mountain, they encountered a fleeing army that had fallen into bandits.

They wanted to hijack the carriage, but they were destined to find the wrong target.

In just a moment, this fleeing army with little combat power was killed by Xu Gu'an alone.

"Forgive, spare." A man who looked like a leader fell to the ground, looking at Xu Gu'an approaching with a knife in horror.

"Lancheng's army?" Xu Gu'an looked at some of the standard equipment on the opponent's body, which was consistent with the equipment that broke out in the dungeon of the rebel camp he brushed back then.

Facing the begging for mercy, Xu Gu'an was not relentless, and dealt with it with a knife in his hands, and another white card popped out.

"This battle has lasted for so long, but it's not over yet." Xu Gu'an shook his head, put away his knife and left.

A few days later, the carriage returned to Donglan Town, Qin Sanli's residence.

Under Qin Sanli's gaze, Xu Gu'an ate the fruit.

Under that kind of freezing, the fruit is well preserved, the taste is sour and astringent, and the flesh is slightly dense.

Generally speaking, the taste is good, Xu Guan quickly finished it, and he was a little bit unsatisfied with his mouth.

Looking at the spit out fruit core, he thought a little bit.

"I wonder if the seeds in this fruit core can grow this fruit again?" Xu Gu'an looked at Qin Sanli and asked.

Qin Sanli shook his head, "I had this idea before, I tried to replant the two remaining seeds, but they all failed.

The reason why this kind of rare fruit is rare and hard to find is because it is not easy to grow.

Not only a perfect and suitable growth environment is required, but also other factors that cannot be seen or felt are needed, which is very difficult.”

"Really." Xu Gu'an couldn't help being a little disappointed when he heard that.

"Of course, maybe you can save it first, and wait until you find the really powerful planting master in the future, maybe you can try again, maybe other people can do it."

Qin Sanli added that after all, he himself is not a master in this area, and he doesn't have much say in such matters.

Xu Gu'an nodded, and when he wanted to say something, the fruit in his body had already begun to take effect.

Fire-like heat gushed out from Xu Guan's body instantly, making him unable to speak a word anymore.

"The power of the medicine is urgent first and then slows down. There is no other way but to be patient." Qin Sanli couldn't help saying when he saw the situation at the side.

At this moment, Xu Gu'an only felt as if someone in his body was scraping his bones with a razor, and cutting off his meridians and blood vessels with scissors.

The viscera and six internal organs were pounded heavily with a hammer, the eight meridians were corroded and melted, and the blood was evaporated.

The process of washing the marrow and cutting the veins is undoubtedly extremely painful, as if the original body is completely destroyed, and a new body is rebuilt in the ruins, including the eight meridians, internal organs, etc.

This is also the biggest shock that Xu Gu'an has endured so far.

The pores on the body surface were wide open, and blood was constantly oozing out, especially from the scalp. The oozing blood almost dyed his black hair bright red.

This process of washing the marrow and cutting the pulse is also a process of rebirth.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xu Guan survived the most severe period, and the pain gradually eased as Qin Sanli said.

Seeing this, Qin Sanli at the side also heaved a sigh of relief.

When he ate this fruit rashly back then, he was seriously injured in the initial stage, and even hurt the foundation of his cultivation. It took a long time and a lot of money to heal.

But Xu Gu'an looked much better.

With a strong physique, Xu Gu'an was not hurt by this fruit.

And when the medicine's effect calmed down, Xu Gu'an only felt how comfortable it was just now, as much as it was painful just now.

The heat dissipated, and the whole body seemed to be soaked in a warm current, especially the brain was enveloped by waves of coolness.

This comfortable time lasted longer, and it took several hours to end.

Xu Gu'an opened his eyes, and what he saw was himself covered in blood.

"The water is ready, go and wash." Qin Sanli couldn't help laughing when he saw Xu Guan wake up.

"Thank you teacher." Xu Guan nodded.

Standing up and feeling it for a while, it seems that there is not much difference.

All aspects of strength seem to have improved slightly, but the extent of improvement is limited.

On the contrary, the sensitivity of perception, the ability to observe subtle changes in oneself, and the ability to control the body seem to have become much stronger in this regard.

The improvement in cultivation seems not to be much, which is normal, after all, he is now at the fourth stage of Yijin, which is different from Qin Sanli who was still at the bone strengthening stage.

"I don't know how qualified I am now?" Xu Gu'an secretly said.

Compared with cultivation, aptitude is the focus of his attention.
