Ten days passed by.
Gu Xinyue returned from outside Zixuan Imperial City and returned to the inn in the imperial city. She happily told Ye Fan, who was preparing for a long trip, that she had spent nearly one million yuan on the outskirts of the city near the imperial city. They acquired a piece of mountainous land of tens of thousands of acres and rebuilt the headquarters of Beast Emperor Pavilion.
A group of skilled craftsmen have been hired and are building pavilions and houses. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people from Beast Emperor Pavilion will be able to use the new headquarters directly after arriving in the dynasty.
Ye Fan was delighted when he heard this. Once the Beast Emperor Pavilion was settled in the dynasty, he would have no worries. He can also complete the task with peace of mind and then devote himself to practicing martial arts.
The two of them were ready. Ye Fan left a letter and sent it to Grand Scholar Kong Jianqing, informing him that he had set out to find the Mammoth Soul Fire. After that, he left the imperial city and took the Rouge Snow Kite Beast King together, flying to the distant ice at a very fast speed. The ancient land.
Ye Fan estimated that the Ice Wasteland Ancient Land would not be more dangerous than the Ancestral God Ancient Land. With him and Gu Xinyue joining forces, their combat power was almost comparable to that of half a Martial Emperor. Except for a few places where they dared not go, most of the dangerous places were not fatal to the two of them, so naturally they would not worry too much about their safety.
After one month.
The two flew to the edge of the Ice Wasteland.
Unlike the Ancestral God Ancient Land, the Ice Wasteland Ancient Land has no clear boundaries, but is a towering, boundless snow-covered plateau in the north of Dongzhou.
The periphery of the snowfield is full of desolate swamps and bare ice wasteland. There are almost no birds and animals. Occasionally, sporadic weeds can be seen growing tremblingly in the cracks of the rocks, as well as gopher beasts moving around.
The further we flew towards the snowy plateau, the more we felt the cold air between heaven and earth, to the point where even the Rouge Snow Kite Beast King couldn't bear it.
Its huge wings were covered with thick ice, which could not be driven away no matter how hard it was. The blood in its bones was almost solidified, and it was shivering from the cold. Finally, no matter how Gu Xinyue drove it, it flew to the ground and shivered into a ball, refusing to fly again.
"It's cold resistance limit has been exceeded here, and it won't fly anymore. Let's walk!"
Gu Xinyue was helpless.
Ye Fan nodded and said: "Let's go, wait until we enter the depths of the ancient ice wasteland, and let the mammoth Big Hui come out to lead the way. It has very thick hair and is very warm in the land of ice and snow. It is not afraid of the cruel cold. However, Now is not the time. Occasionally you will encounter other high-level martial arts cultivators on the outskirts of the Ice Wasteland, which will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Gu Xinyue took Xueyuan back into the beast ring. The two of them gave up flying on the snow kite, wore thick velvet and warm mink fur snow coats and cloaks, and walked to the ancient land of ice.
They have thick layers of protection against the cold, and they also wear various small fire treasures that have been prepared to keep warm. They are like small heaters and are more resistant to freezing than birds.
Although he was walking, for King Wu, one step was dozens of feet long, and he was traveling extremely quickly on the plateau. If he didn't lose his way, King Wu could easily walk thousands or tens of thousands of miles a day in the snowfield.
Soon, the two of them had arrived at the edge of the Ice Wasteland. The ground ahead was covered with white snow, the sky was filled with gloomy and oppressive thick ice clouds, and almost no other colors could be seen between the sky and the earth.
"Huh~!"
Suddenly, a blizzard and heavy snow came overwhelmingly without warning.
The snow and sand all over the sky obscured the field of vision. It was difficult to see any object clearly from almost a thousand feet away, and there was no way to identify the direction. Even those who are familiar with the road in the snowfield cannot identify the direction in the snowstorm and it is very easy to lose their way.
Ye Fan couldn't help but frown, looked at the darkening sky, turned around and said to Gu Xinyue who was following behind him, "The snowstorm is too big. If it continues like this, it will be difficult to travel! I checked the information about the Ice Wasteland, and there is a building on the edge. The Ice Desolate Town should be nearby. It's getting dark soon. Find this Ice Desolate Town first and stay temporarily to avoid the snowstorm. Wait until the snowstorm stops before setting off tomorrow!"
If there is no place to stay, you may have to pitch a tent in the snow and ice at night and sleep in the cold wilderness. It actually didn't matter if he slept in the open at night. He had already prepared a tent. However, since there is a small town nearby, it is of course better to go to the town and stay for one night.
"okay!"
Gu Xinyue's pretty and rosy face was flushed red by the wind and snow pouring into her robe as soon as she said a word.
Snowstorms come and go.
Before the sky turned completely dark, Ye Fan took advantage of the pause in the snowstorm to fly high into the sky and look around, and finally found the inconspicuous ice desert town.
This is a small town. According to the data, the permanent population is only a few thousand martial arts cultivators, and in many cases it will not exceed 10,000 people.
The Ice Wasteland Ancient Land is not much smaller than the Ancestral God Ancient Land, but there are much fewer martial arts cultivators than the Ancestral God Ancient Land.
This is normal. Most of this ancient ice land is completely covered by ice and snow, and its product output is extremely low. It only produces a small amount of ice-based materials and cannot support a large number of high-level martial arts cultivators.
Except for a few high-level ice martial arts cultivators, few others come here.
This Ice Wasteland town is the only supply town on the outer edge of the Ice Wasteland Ancient Land. Ice martial arts cultivators often enter and exit the Ice Wasteland Ancient Land from here.
They practice in the Ice Wasteland, and occasionally return to the vendors in the town to sell some of the ice beasts they hunted, ice alchemy refining materials such as snow ginseng, snow lotus, ice crystal ore, etc., and exchange them for elixirs for their own cultivation. Supplies of medicine, mysterious weapons and other materials.
Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue entered the town and soon found a large luxury inn in the town.
…
Ice desert town.
In the only large luxury inn, hundreds of guest rooms have already been occupied, leaving only a few empty seats in the brightly lit lobby, where the martial arts cultivators can temporarily take shelter from the wind and snow.
At this time, hundreds of martial arts cultivators gathered in the lobby of the inn, sitting in small groups at one table.
There are fierce men, swordsmen with mysterious swords at their waists, charming women with various styles, and swordsmen who are cold, arrogant and lonely in the corner. The martial arts cultivators are dressed in different costumes, shouting loudly, punching big bowls and drinking strong drinks. Drinking wine, eating large pieces of fat beast meat, talking loudly about going to the Ice Wasteland to hunt orcs after the snowstorm stopped, and other things.
Compared with the severe cold outside, the big inn was bustling with people and noisy, as noisy as a street market, and it was warm and comfortable.
"boom!"
The door of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew in.
Two figures of young men and women martial arts stepped into the big inn and quickly closed the door.
Dozens of Wuhous wearing animal skin coats at several tables by the door of the inn were suddenly shivered by the cold wind. They all turned around and were about to slap the tables and curse loudly.
But I saw these two young male and female martial arts cultivators wearing high-level mink beast coats. The male martial arts cultivator had a golden armor ghost face on his face, and the female martial arts cultivator wore a purple jade phoenix mask, both of which covered their own cultivation. Looking inside the inn.
Especially the female martial arts cultivator, although her appearance is covered by a purple jade phoenix mask, revealing only a pair of cut eyes as clear as autumn water, her graceful figure and ethereal temperament cannot be completely concealed, and her beauty is breathtaking.
The male martial arts cultivator had calm eyes, which seemed to have a magical pressure that made people almost dare not look at him. This is the natural pressure of the bloodline of the ancestral gods, not the pressure of cultivation.
In the big inn, all the martial arts cultivators looked toward the door and were silent for a moment, with expressions of surprise that could not be concealed.
The Wuhous at those tables had not yet cursed, but they could not see through the two people's cultivation. After thinking about it, they still endured it and did not dare to make any mistakes.
There are only two types of people who venture to the Ice Wasteland, either the Marquis of Wu or the King of Wu.
Wu Zun would almost never plan to enter the Ice Wasteland, because it would be easy to die.
These two young men and women martial arts cultivators do not have a team, so they dare to come alone, and since they have no discernible cultivation level, they might be martial arts kings. If they accidentally scold King Wu, they, the Lord Wus, will also be in bad luck.
Occasionally, the Martial Emperor would appear in Ice Desolate Town, but this was rare. Most of the Emperor Wu directly entered the Ice Wasteland alone and would not stay in the small town.
An inn waiter who was near the entrance of the inn saw Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue entering the inn and ran over quickly, "Two guests, there's a snowstorm tonight, there are so many people in the inn, all the guest rooms are gone, so we can only Let's drink and eat meat in the lobby to warm up for the time being! However, there is a complete range of wine and meat, and everything you need! Let's see what you two want to order?"
A ray of pure golden light flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, sweeping hundreds of people in the inn into his eyes. There is no Martial King in this big inn, there are only dozens of Martial King, and the rest are almost all in the Wuhou realm.
Gu Xinyue glanced at the inn hall, which was crowded with hundreds of martial arts practitioners, and frowned slightly, not used to such a noisy scene.
Whether it was the Ancient Land of the Ancestral Gods or the Zixuan Imperial City, there would never be so many high-level martial arts people crowded into an inn, drinking wine and eating meat in large bowls, noisy and without any concern for image.
Perhaps, this scene would only appear in the small town on the edge of the Ice Wasteland.
"That's all, there's no other better place to go. Let's rest in the lobby of this inn for one night. We'll set off tomorrow when the wind and snow stop."
She said to Ye Fan.
"Um."
Ye Fan smiled and nodded to Gu Xinyue, and asked the waiter: "Are there any good seats in the lobby?"
The waiter of the inn said quickly, "Yes! Yes! The first floor is divided into lower, middle and upper seats, each worth five, ten and fifteen yuan stones per person. On the second floor, the lower, middle and upper seats are fifty, seventy and seventy respectively. One hundred yuan stones per person. There are some good seats on the second floor."
Ye Fan frowned.
Just a night's rest in the inn lobby is frighteningly expensive, and the price is higher than that of a big inn in Zixuan Imperial City.
Even though most of the people who come to the Ice Wasteland are Marquis Wu and above, waiting for a seat on the second floor costs 100 yuan stones, which is still a very large expense.
It's not that Wu Zun is very rich after becoming Wu Hou. Although Wu Hou earns more, the cost of purchasing third-level elixirs, mysterious weapons, runes, healing, etc. for cultivation is also greater, and money is needed for everything.
To buy a low-grade Xuan Weapon would cost several thousand yuan stones. If a mysterious weapon is damaged in battle, it will cost money to repair it. If you have hundreds or thousands of Yuan Stones in your hand, you can't help but spend them. You save money on weekdays, so naturally you can't bear to spend a hundred Yuan Stones to buy a seat a night.
This was clearly the lion opening his mouth, taking advantage of the blizzard outside and the cold weather to earn a lot of yuan stones from the martial arts cultivators.
The lower-class seats on the first floor cost five yuan stones, which was slightly cheaper, but they were either at the entrance of the inn, near the toilet, or in a narrow and suffocating place.
However, to be able to open such a large-scale luxury inn in this small town of Ice Wasteland, and yet it has not been smashed into pieces in anger by martial cultivators passing through this place for so many years, is definitely a group of powerful martial kings in the Ice Wasteland Ancient Land. , even the forces under Emperor Wu could do it.
