C350

This was the last stop to enter the snowy plains, and all the people that came and went would come here to replenish their supplies.

Lin Yu was no exception. After replenishing himself for a while, the main things that he replenished were the map and dried meat medicine, as well as salt, leather clothes, and charcoal.

These things were essential in the snowy plains; they were something that could save lives!

At dawn of the next day, Lin Yu and Wan'er left early. After comparing the two maps, they identified a path and a direction before disappearing into the snowy plains.

Lin Yu didn't know the specific location of the unfrozen water, so he could only search slowly. Fortunately, the range wasn't too far, and so Lin Yu and Wan'er found the unfrozen water under a patch of ice on the morning of the sixth day.

Lin Yu looked carefully and confirmed that the unfrozen water was right. He took out over a thousand spirit stones and threw them in.

"Wan-Er, you stay here. I need some peace and quiet!"

"Don't worry Young Master, no one will disturb you."

Wan'er's words could already be said very well, but other than Lin Yu, she was still not used to talking to others.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, then jumped in.

It was very comfortable even though the water wasn't cold, but Lin Yu knew that this was only the beginning, and the water would only get colder and colder.

Lin Yu slapped the center of his brows, and one of the soul flames came out from it.

Lin Yu's face immediately turned pale white, he was not cultivating, he was risking his life!

Lin Yu swallowed it in one gulp, causing a bit of hot air to spread outwards. Then, Lin Yu took a sip of the unfrozen water and the third stage of the Divine Vault cultivation method started to circulate.

The Realm of Divine Concealment, had already entered the realm of heaven, and could already be considered an expert in terms of Four Regions of Cultivation.

The difference between each realm was like the difference between heaven and earth.

In terms of appearance, the amount of time and spirit stones you need to advance from the first level to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage was the same as the amount of spirit stones you need to advance to the ninth level of the God's Stash.

One could imagine the difficulty of this level of cultivation.

The spirit stones in the water started to release Spirit Qi and slowly entered Lin Yu's body.

The spirit fire inside started to transform Lin Yu's body.

Of course, this process was extremely difficult to bear. The muscles on Lin Yu's face began to twitch, and he started to sweat profusely in this originally extremely cold place.

As for his cultivation base of the second level of Divine Vault, it did not increase with each circulation, but it would become more solid with each circulation. It would decrease by a bit and his physical body would increase by a bit as well.

This was the third stage of the first great realm of the Divine Vault cultivation technique.

Only after this stage is complete can the first meridian sealing be done during the The Realm of Divine Concealment.

Time trickled by. Lin Yu's entire person was like a steamer, his entire body emitting hot steam. Under his drive, the space that was initially not very big was filled with spirit energy.

Wan-Er's eyes suddenly lit up when she was guarding the door. She had become different. She had become an Upper Sky warrior.

However, as the person involved, she still seemed to be a little muddle-headed.

Lin Yu's third stage of cultivation began from the heart, spread to the five visceras, and then to the entire body!

He did not know how long this process would take, he only knew that he had become very strong at this moment!

It really was a cultivation technique passed down since the ancient times. Its strength was incomparable to that of today's cultivation techniques.

Inside the pond, Lin Yu entered into a state where everything around him seemed to be forgotten, something he knew nothing about but did not seem to know.

A faintly discernible presence slowly floated out and started to spread on the snowy plains.

There were a large number of snow beasts living within the snowy plains. At that moment, they were agitated, as if they were searching for the source of the aura. That was because the aura smelled very good, and it was also very tasty.

After passing through endless time and space, in a place that seemed like an immortal realm, a middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes.

At the same time, he didn't see anything.

The few copper coins in his hands buzzed, and he took his hands off to form a design in front of him.

"Have my people appeared again? I just don't know if your appearance is a blessing or a curse! the Ancestor's disciples really don't know what to do. "

The man sighed and flicked his sleeve, sending a jade slip flying through the blue sky.

And below him, there were countless people worshipping him. Suddenly, a ray of light shot into the hands of one of the people at the front.

The man trembled as he shouted excitedly, "Forefather's decree, war!"

Overflowing cheers rang out as one figure after another soared into the sky!

Some of the spirit stones in the pool had already started to crumble.

And between Lin Yu's brows, other than the sea of consciousness and the flames of his soul, there was also a Demon Suppressing Tablet.

At this moment, the runes on the Demon Suppressing Tablet continued to flash continuously.

The chain made of symbols was still locked on that person.

Suddenly, the person sitting cross-legged opened his eyes.

"What … What is this? Why does it give me such a palpitation!?" "Why would it be like this? If this goes on for too long, when will I be able to escape?!"

The man said bitterly.

At the same time, somewhere in the forest, a donkey was walking slowly on the ground. A young scholar was lying on the donkey, occasionally pouring a mouthful of wine into his mouth.

Suddenly, the scholar sat up on the donkey's back. "How could this happen? How could he be related to that clan?"

This person waved his hand as if he wanted to do something, but stopped midway.

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with me!"

The scholar said somewhat helplessly.

Seemingly not in a good mood, the scholar slapped the donkey hard on its back. The donkey let out a cry, and a colorful glow appeared beneath his feet. It disappeared, and once again appeared in a place with no direction.

"Tai, that demon, Sword Immortal Li Bai is here again. Last time, you and I made a total of 76,000 yuan for a total of 1.74 billion. Come, come, come, let's fight again. This time, we must break the previous record! "

"Scram!"

A furious roar sounded.

"Aiya, little darling, don't be angry, didn't I come to see you?"

One eye opened, and the other was like a star.

Following that, the sounds of collisions and roars reverberated unceasingly … In the pond, Lin Yu's entire being lightened up, and immediately woke up.

The pool of unfrozen water had originally turned into ordinary water, and the spirit stones had long since turned into powder.

Lin Yu walked out, and Wan'er used a cloth to dry the droplets of water on his face, while waiting for him with a new set of clothes.

Lin Yu did not care about that. Instead, he pulled her and leapt out of the space, and with a boom, the place was completely buried by ice and snow.

Once he was outside, Lin Yu immediately turned into an ice man, even though Wan'er had put on his leather clothes, he could not stop the cold, but luckily his Spirit Storage had reached the third realm, he could still block the cold.

Lin Yu looked around, as if trying to memorize the place.

"Wan-Er, let's go back!"

Lin Yu's voice that was filled with confidence began to reverberate throughout the entire snowy plains!

It would still take a few days to get out of the snowy plains. The easiest thing in the snowy plains was to lose one's way.

Because the surroundings were snow-white and there weren't many reference materials, it was easy to deviate in direction. And once there was a deviation, then perhaps it would take away many paths, or perhaps it would never be able to leave.

Lin Yu led Wan'er, the two "children".

They walked on the snowy plains with great difficulty. On the snowy plains, they appeared to be as contemptuous as a snowflake falling from the sky!

"Cultivating isn't difficult, what's difficult is how to control your own strength. For example, even though you have already reached the precelestial stage, you can still use a precelestial stage that might not even be able to! You need to learn to control power, not let it control you. There are too many people who ended up with their bodies and heads separated because they were controlled by power! "

Lin Yu said with a sigh.

"Master, you said Wan-Er doesn't understand!"

Wan-Er said weakly. She was just like a child who had done something wrong.

Eh, Lin Yu slapped his forehead, how could he have forgotten about this? Even though she had experienced many things, she was after all, only an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

"It's fine, young master will make you do something, you have to do it well, do you understand?"

"I know. As long as it's what you said, I will do it well!"

Wan-Er nodded and said.

Lin Yu laughed, sometimes a small action is much more useful than a big action!

The wind and snow were blowing harder now, making it difficult to pinpoint the direction. Several people were charging in their line of sight. When they could see each other, they were only a dozen steps away from each other.

The opponents were a hunting squad led by an old man, and four robust men followed behind him.

When the old man saw Lin Yu and Wan Er, he was startled, he did not expect to see two children inside.

"Children, are you lost?"

The old man shouted, but the sound of his shout was interrupted by the snow.

"Yes, old grandpa, we are looking for a way out!"

Lin Yu shouted as well.

"We can't go out. There's a wind vent, and the snow is already deep enough for one person. Let's find a place to stop and wait for the wind to stop."

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble the old grandpa to lead the way!"

Lin Yu said. He knew that these people had lived in this snowy plain for who knows how long, and there was no one who was more familiar with this place than them.

The group of seven found a place to stay out of the wind and dug a temporary shelter. They lit a fire, put on leather and sat on the ground.

Although it was snowing heavily outside, a warm feeling filled everyone's heart.

The old man rubbed his hands together and roasted some meat. Then, he quickly roasted two pieces of wild game.

Although it was cold on the snowy plains, there were still many wild beasts living here. People might not know what they ate, but they did know what to eat.

"You all look young, how did you manage to get so deep in here!"

The old man asked.

"Old sir, please excuse me. I brought my sister out to catch the snow ferret. Who knew that the snow ferret did not catch her and instead lost her way. It's a good thing we met old sir, otherwise, I really would not know what to do!"

The other big guys also laughed. Not only was the snow ferret cunning, it could also run extremely fast. Let alone the two children, even the old Daoist would find it difficult to catch it. These two children were too naive.

One of the men smiled and threw him a leather bag.

"It's cold. Drink some wine to warm your body!"

Lin Yu received the cup but did not drink it. He knew that alcohol could sometimes be the life of a person in the snowy plains and if a person could give you a cup of wine, that would at least mean that he had no ill intentions towards you.

"Thank you, but I really can't drink it."

Lin Yu threw the wineskin back, and took out a bag of dried meat to throw to him.

The big man smiled and tore off the oil paper, taking out a handful to share with his companions.

The old man saw and smiled. Being with an intelligent person was easy, he had already planned to give Lin Yu one of the game meat, and Lin Yu took out some dried meat to help him get closer to Lin Yu.

This was because the tribes here had a habit: everyone had to take out their own food to eat.

"The snow is falling heavily!"

Lin Yu suddenly muttered.

"That's right, this is the first time I've seen snow this big!"

The man who threw the wine sack to Lin Yu said.

"Brother Li is right, snow like this is really rare!"

"Cough cough, how long have you all only lived for? I'm telling you, this snow is the biggest I've ever seen."

The old man said.

"Humans, you will see more after living for a long time. Let me tell you this, about ten years ago, did you still remember that solar eclipse?"

"I remember. The sky suddenly darkened, and I remember that it lasted for a long time. According to the old man, this type of day food never seemed to appear."

"That's right, Third Uncle. I still remember that day when the sun was rising and the lightning struck the North Land. It was like this for many months. It was said that many people were killed at that time!"

That day, I, the old man, was also in this snowy plains. I remember that day when it suddenly darkened, and the scenery was even more beautiful in the snowy plains. The light reflected in the sky from the snowy plains, and the entire world was covered in white. "But that's not the most special thing. I remember that there seemed to be a door opening on the snowy plains, a very real door. It's just that this old man was timid and did not dare to go up to take a look."

The old man sprinkled some salt on the two wild game. His eyes held a hint of reminiscence!

"Third Uncle, you've started telling that old story of yours again. We've heard this story hundreds of times already, and there's not even the slightest bit of novelty in it. Why can't you change it to something new?"

One of the big guys said with a grin.

"Little bastard, this old man has spent so much effort to tell you a story, yet you refuse to listen!"

The old man laughed and scolded, shaking his head as if intentionally or unintentionally. No matter what he said, it would be meaningless because no one was willing to believe him.

The only problem was that the old man did not care about them, and gave one of the roasted game to Lin Yu, and the other one was given to the big men, and then the other one was roasted.

However, Lin Yu didn't eat it, but handed it over to Wan'er and continued looking at the old man.

Seeing that he had an audience, the old man continued, "Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence. This old man remembers that on that day, wind and snow suddenly interweaved in the snowy plains, and then the snow suddenly grew bigger. The scene looked just like today. This old man still remembers that two people suddenly appeared in front of me while I was carrying snow on my back, just like today! "

As he spoke, a strange expression appeared on the old man's face.

"Speaking of which, that day was also a day for a man and a woman. The man seemed to be around the same age as the little brother, and the woman seemed to be slightly older than the girl. They were lost like little brothers that day. Just how many coincidences are there in this world? "

The old man sighed and said.

Lin Yu laughed, it was really a coincidence!

At this moment, even he would feel that this was a coincidence!

"This old man had once heard fortune-telling say that there was always a starting point for this thing called fate. For example, a river had to have a source, and the tributary on top of this river was the intersection of fate. Your fate has someone else, and the fate of others also has you. Although this old man remembers, I don't understand it! "

The old man roasted the last piece of game and distributed it to everyone. He also left a piece for himself and took a bite. His mouth was full of oil and he wiped it off casually.

"Third Uncle, didn't the fortune-teller say that you would meet someone rich and take a wife? But how can you still be by yourself at this age, and still have to stay here with us and endure the cold! "

one of the four men teased.

The old man chuckled and without a word, he took another bite of the barbecue in his hand.

"I once asked that fortune-teller what age I would have to wait until I could meet my benefactor. The fortune-teller said, 'Fate, if you say it has it, then it has it; if you say it has nothing else, then it has nothing. You believe it because you believe you can do better and live better! 'If you don't believe me, it's because you don't believe that you can't break the limit. It's like this river might flow in one direction for a thousand years, but it will also change its course! ' The point is, do you believe it? "

The old man said.

"Third Uncle, we can recite those words backwards!"

Just that, Lin Yu's roasted meat that was already in his mouth stopped, he did not know if these words were actually heard by him, he only knew that these words were as sharp as a sword and pierced into his heart.

Both of Lin Yu's eyes congealed, and through the old man's eyes, he seemed to return to a dozen or so years ago: that day, the sky suddenly darkened, and a door opened in front of them, a door that led to the outside world.

After which, a man and a woman walked out, and the door disappeared.

This man and woman walked in this snowy area for a long time, until they saw an old man sheltering himself from the cold.

After the snow stopped, the three people walked out of the snowy plains. Where did the old man go and how long had it been since they parted?

However, there was an extra baby in the woman's arms. At that moment, Lin Yu almost thought that the baby was himself, or rather, a voice told him that it was him … Lin Yu trembled, retreating from the illusion. He did not know if what he saw was real or not, or if it was something he saw, or if it was just something he thought.

If all of this was true, then he did not know whether the baby was himself or not. If it was, then he knew where he came from. If it was not because he did not know why he wanted to see her!

Lin Yu stood up and bowed to the old man. This bow was to the wild game given to him by the old man, and it was to him that he would guide the way like how he was ten years ago.

The wind and snow were just like back then, drifting about in this place. Destiny!

If there was such a thing, it would have a starting point, as if the river needed a source.

If Lin Yu was the starting point of this life, then this was the direction of the river.

Perhaps the beginning of his fate was also the beginning of the fate of others.

And this old man might be the point at which his fate intersected with others!

Is it just fate?

And you, do you believe me?

The snow stopped the next day, and the old man personally sent Lin Yu and Wan'er out of the snow plains.

As for the four men, they did not follow. After all, they only came and left after six to seven days. With this time, they could hunt more prey.

There was no path in the snow, only with Lin Yu and Wan'er, it would not be difficult to open a path to come out. It would only take some time, but it had become Wan'er's best way to control her power.

After snowing, it was very easy to get lost, Lin Yu knew that if it wasn't for the old man leading the way, even if he had the map in his hands, it would be extremely difficult to get out.

It was just that at the same time Lin Yu and the other two walked out, there were quite a few people who entered the snowy plains.

These people had all entered the snowy plains to hunt, because after the snow, it was a good time to hunt.

Lin Yu's group also met a few groups of people along the way, some of them harboring malicious intentions, but this old man and his second son didn't have anything else on them, so they didn't make things difficult for the three of them.

"There aren't usually this many people. It's just that a few days ago, the wild beasts in the snowy plains seemed to have gotten a bit irritable. Some of the rarely seen wild beasts also came out to hunt. At the same time, there are many people who are waiting to take advantage of the situation! "

The old man sighed and said.

Lin Yu looked at these people and did not say anything.

But then again, if it wasn't for fame and fortune, what would it be?

Dreams, in fact, are also a type of fame and fortune.

There was nothing wrong with pursuing it. Perhaps the only way was right or wrong.

On the fourth day, the old man had already sent Lin Yu out of the snowy plains.

"Senior, I have some silver taels here …"

The old man waved his hand. "Sigh … This old man is already this old. What's the use of spending so much money? I can still move now. Occasionally going hunting counts as I have something to do, so I won't die so early!"

Lin Yu was startled, then bowed to the old man: "Senior will definitely live to be one hundred years old, everything goes as you wish!"

"Then I'll be counting on your blessings. Hehe, let's go. If we're late, we won't be able to make it to the sleeping quarters!"

The old man laughed as he watched Lin Yu leave. However, the moment he turned around, he froze in place, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes. The road he walked on was no longer his original path.

Lin Yu and Wan'er returned to the Coldfrost Town. There seemed to be more people here than before, even the tavern was full.

It wasn't easy for the two of them to find a room in an inn.

Lin Yu and Wan'er hadn't slept soundly these past few days, so they could finally have a good rest.

However, the people in the restaurant seemed to be somewhat strange. They did not eat but sat very straight.

Lin Yu was confused, it was really fresh to not eat at a restaurant.

Lin Yu ordered four dishes and he and Wan'er continued to eat.

After a while, three big men with blades came in from outside, they scanned the place once, and landed on Lin Yu's body in the end.

The three of them walked to Lin Yu's table, and one of them used his blade to make a 'clang'.

He placed his right foot on the table, then lifted his right foot and placed it on the chair.

"Kid, the three of us are interested in this seat. Take your little daughter-in-law somewhere else to eat!"

Lin Yu did not look up, not even Wan'er.

"Why, it's two deaf people. I'm calling you, can't you hear me!?"

"Aiyo, isn't that the three heroes from outside the borders? How do you know how to bully little kids? You three are bears, right? "

Suddenly, someone said in a weird tone.

The three of them were taken aback. They picked up their sabers and placed their right feet on the ground. Then, they turned around to look at the source of the sound.

"Who do I think it is? It turned out to be a white-faced scholar! It seems like the three of us don't need a pretty boy like you to manage our business.

"Haha …"

When the other two men heard this, they laughed.

"Humph, three things that do not know life and death, this is also a place for you to be presumptuous!"

A cold snort followed by an object's afterimage struck at the large man.

"En!" With a flash of the blade in his hand, the thing fell to the ground.

"Pa!"

This object fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. If one looked carefully, they would discover that it was a wine cup.

"Daoist Drunken Wine, you don't have to be a good person, do you?"

One of the men sitting at the table next to Daoist Jiu who had made the move said.
