Chapter 306: The Extremely Cold Land of Northern Province
When Master came over, Wu Mengjie knew what to do.
After a brief conversation, Mr. Yazhi took Wu Mengjie and Shi Dongdong to the Extreme Cold Palace.
Before leaving the sect, Master Yazhi left Nianxiang here, asking him to keep an eye on Yanjun who was still in seclusion, so that he could be called back if any danger occurred.
The powerful Qi in the body of the elegant layman continued to flow out. With a crisp "click" sound, a space channel opened.
The moment the passage was opened, a terrible chill surged out like a beast out of a cage. This chill seemed to be able to penetrate people's bones, making people shiver.
Even a cultivator like Wu Mengjie felt a hint of coolness seeping through his skin. He secretly marveled at the chill. Although he hadn't entered yet, just from the cold wind blowing over, Wu Mengjie knew what the general situation was like over there.
At the same time, I became very curious about the place I had never seen before.
As the three of them stepped in, they immediately arrived at a place covered in ice and snow.
As soon as I arrived at the place, the biting cold instantly hit my body, which was much more severe than before.
The temperature here is very low, and it is no exaggeration to say that water turns into ice. The mist exhaled turns into fine ice chips and falls down as soon as it comes out.
Wu Mengjie looked around and saw ice and snow everywhere. As far as the eye could see, everything around him was white, as if the whole world was covered in ice and snow.
The biting cold wind whistled past, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill, but Wu Mengjie and the others were cultivators after all, so they condensed their true energy directly out of their bodies, isolating the cold temperature and wind from their bodies.
Looking down, the snow below is thick and solid. If there are mortals living here, walking on it, they will definitely have to expend a huge amount of physical energy with every step.
There are many icebergs in the distance, rising and falling. Under the sunlight, the ice and snow are shining with silvery white light.
This kind of environment made Wu Mengjie wonder, can ordinary mortals really survive in such a place?
Seeing Wu Mengjie's doubts, Shi Dongdong informed Wu Mengjie: "The mortals in this far north all live under the protection of the corresponding sects or the courts in their jurisdiction.
The monks would create a large formation for mortals to protect against the cold, but this formation did not completely raise the temperature to the same level as the outside world, it only raised the temperature to near freezing point.
Although it is very cold, people can survive normally. The sect will gather disciples from the mortal places that it is responsible for protecting.
Most of the mortals here mainly hunt, with planting as a supplement. As for grain planting, there are only three kinds. The first one is called cold vegetable, which is mostly used as the main dish. It is icy and delicious, with a turquoise color and a light sweetness. It can be eaten raw directly, which is also the normal way of eating for the people here.
Just don’t eat too much, otherwise you’ll get a sore throat.
In addition to eating it raw, beets can also be cooked. However, after being cooked, the color of beets will turn red, and they will taste watery and soft, like snot, and the taste will become bitter.
However, although it may look like this, the cooked cold vegetable can be used as medicine to cure symptoms such as colds, headaches, and fevers.
In addition to taking it internally, it can also be applied externally. If you have physical injuries, mash the cooked cold vegetables and apply them to the wound, which will greatly increase the recovery speed.
The planting rate of cold vegetables is about 20%. The main reason for this is that it cannot be used as a staple food after all.
The second plant is called ice beans. Its shape is like the potatoes that Zhang Yu collected in the planting recipe in Xiaoshi City a hundred years ago, but the color of this ice bean is different, it is off-white.
It cannot be eaten raw, as it can kill people. It can be eaten roasted or cooked. It tastes slightly sour and sweet, like a mixture of orange and apple, and can be used as a staple food. This is grown in large quantities, accounting for about 70%.
The last one is called salt wood. This thing contains a lot of salt. A mature salt wood is about one meter long and three fingers wide.
People in extremely cold areas basically rely on this salt wood to replenish salt, and the salt stored in the salt wood is very sufficient.
People here eat salt wood in two ways. One is to take out a piece of salt wood when cooking, scrape the surface of the salt wood twice with a knife, scrape off some salt wood crumbs and put them in the dish.
Another way is to cook normally, and then when you eat, take a bite of rice and lick the salty stick. If the taste is strong and one lick is not enough, then use your teeth to scrape some off and eat it as pickles.
A saltwood tree is quite edible, so the number of trees planted here is not very large, accounting for only 10% of the total area. "
"Sister Dongdong, you are so amazing. You know everything." Wu Mengjie looked at Shi Dongdong with admiration.
Shi Dongdong looked at Wu Mengjie and felt that he was so cute that he couldn't help but put his hands on his hips, with his proud little face looking up to the sky.
With Mr. Yazhi's level of cultivation, he could naturally catch what Shi Dongdong was explaining to Wu Mengjie about the things here. Since the third sister had already finished speaking, there was no need for him to repeat it again, so he just headed forward.
Speaking of which, Master Yazhi's flying speed here is very slow, and this slowness is obviously caused by Master Yazhi deliberately slowing down the speed.
But since the master did this, he must have his own reasons, so Wu Mengjie said nothing and just flew quietly behind.
After flying for about half an hour, Wu Mengjie noticed that the scenery ahead had changed.
There appeared a number of huge icebergs in front of us, which were obviously much larger than the surrounding ones. From a distance, they looked like giants standing there.
After a while, after crossing several icebergs, Wu Mengjie's consciousness noticed a powerful fluctuation of true energy in front of him. It came from a huge snow mountain far ahead, and on the top of the snow mountain, stood a solemn building.
Watching his master flying straight towards that direction, Wu Mengjie knew that the place ahead should be the Extreme Cold Heavenly Palace.
From afar, it looked like a palace made entirely of ice and snow, emitting a special chill that was different from the outside, as if the entire world was shrouded in coldness.
The architectural style of the Jihantian Palace is unique. The tall palace walls are shining with cold light, as if they were carved from ice crystals. The roof of the palace is covered with thick snow, forming beautiful icicles, which reflect colorful light under the sunlight.
Although it was not close yet, it could be seen that the ice used to build the sect was not ordinary ice. Because it was constantly emitting a faint cold aura, it was very compatible with water, and normal ice would never have this effect.
