Chapter 109: The Ferry
In the end, countless cultivators were dead or injured. At the cost of sacrificing themselves, they used extreme methods to seal it. However, its body was too huge. During the battle, the body of the Frost Dragon fell from the sky and directly made a huge mountain. From then on, the entire Northern Region became a mountain range, and the tallest one among them… is the one people call the Holy Saint Snow Mountain now,” Jiang Yun said with a heavy expression.
“What about the Snow Mountain Dragon? Where did it go in the end?” To Qin Xiaoxi, this story was obviously more interesting than that of the Northern Region’s Snowmen Clan. Even her expression at the moment was very serious.
“It’s the Frost Dragon,” Jiang Yun corrected her.
“It doesn’t matter. Carry on!”
“The remaining cultivators sealed the Frost Dragon in the ice layers of the huge rift valley under the Holy Saint Snow Mountain with the price of all their spiritual power and their lives. From that moment on, the extreme cold energy that swept across the entire mainland gradually disappeared. The people slowly began to live a normal life. However, the influence brought by the Frost Dragon did not completely disappear. It is still affecting the Northern Region and the surrounding sea areas.”
Qin Xiaoxi was somewhat yearning for more.
“This is also why the wind and waves around the Northern Region can not be calculated normally. Many people never returned since they were swept into the sea by the merciless wind and waves before they even saw the Northern Region. Just this alone is enough to persuade many people to leave. Therefore, the Northern Region has become a land of death in the eyes of many people.”
What Jiang Yun said was true. Ever since his master’s generation, the Northern Region had become a place that no one cared about. Most people were afraid. And the only two Holy Saint Snow Ganodermas that appeared were 70 years ago. Countless people went to the Northern Region to obtain them. It was said that only one person returned. The people who went were all powerful cultivators. As for the two Holy Spirit Snow Ganodermas, they disappeared from the sight of many merchants after going through the black market.
The He Family had once spent 100,000 gold coins to buy the two Holy Spirit Snow Ganodermas, but it was in vain.
From this, it could be seen how precious the Holy Spirit Snow Ganoderma was.
Qin Xiaoxi could now roughly understand the situation in the Northern Region.
Perhaps the northern region was really as Jiang Yun had said, extremely dangerous.
No matter what, I will get the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma for you… Sister… You must wait for me! Qin Xiaoxi squeezed the jade pendant which she wore on her waist. It was a personal item given to her by Qin Mingzhu three years ago. She had always protected it well and it had never left her side.
Jiang Yun looked at Qin Xiaoxi and did not say anything for a long time.
He then said, “Don’t worry, we will definitely pluck that Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma from the top of the mountain and save your sister.”
“Thank you.”
Qin Xiaoxi did not know what to say for a moment.
She was naturally more at ease by Jiang Yun’s side.
After going out for three years, she gradually understood that there were some things that could not be done well alone by herself. However, when it came to saving her sister, she would risk her life to save her, even if it meant going through fire and water.
“The Power of Blood Shadow in your sister’s body has been temporarily suppressed by me. It won’t deteriorate in the near future, so don’t worry.” Jiang Yun cleared his throat and looked into the distance again, “It’s just that what I said about the northern region might not be true. It’s just a rumor.”
The reason why Jiang Yun had thought about it for so long was because he was worried that it would damage Qin Xiaoxi’s morale. However, it did not seem to be the case now. Qin Xiaoxi was so eager to save her sister that she could not care less at this moment.
Although it was a rumor, and many people had spread it because of fear, it had some basis. Therefore, Jiang Yun did not dare to take it lightly this time because in the Northern Region, he would encounter things that he had never come into contact with in the past few years.
And now, the only good news was that someone had once obtained the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma. As for how it was obtained, no one knew. Although the price was heavy, at least Jiang Yun could confirm that there must be the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma on the Holy Saint Snow Mountain.
Since the two of them had already taken this step, they were already like ants on the same rope. Jiang Yun had to keep an eye on Qin Xiaoxi’s safety at all times.
The rest was up to fate.
It was unknown how long the two of them followed the route the waiter had pointed out.
They finally arrived at a place that looked like a market.
But the only thing that puzzled them was that there were no noisy shouts here. There were only fierce-looking vendors and the strong stench of decay and fish in the air.
Qin Xiaoxi’s gaze instantly turned sharp. She looked around vigilantly, and then her gaze became natural again. She slowly walked with Jiang Yun towards the ferry.
This should be the transfer point for the black market vendors.
Although Qin Xiaoxi was a woman, Jiang Yun glanced at her and saw that although Qin Xiaoxi looked very natural on the surface, as if she was no different from usual. However, one of her fingers that was holding the sword was already pressed against the hilt. It seemed like she was already on guard, but Jiang Yun did not notice the slightest change in the muscles on her face.
It seemed like the cultivation of the Sakura Sect was not undeserved.
Kong Li was different. If his other two disciples were like Qin Xiaoxi, Jiang Yun would probably be overjoyed.
However, it was true that Qin Xiaoxi was the first person Jiang Yun saw who could use the cultivation techniques of the Sakura Sect flexibly. This was not only due to Qin Xiaoxi being smart and talented. More importantly, she loved and understood the cultivation techniques.
From the moment she drew her sword, she would not hesitate.
“It seems that we have found the right place,” Jiang Yun continued leisurely. “Let me talk to the boatmen in a while. How about you keep up appearances for me?”
“Why don’t you put up a good front for me?” Qin Xiaoxi naturally or half unconsciously teased Jiang Yun.
“Then your appearance must be a sufficiently big,” Jiang Yun added cheerfully.
“Come on, as if you’re the only one who knows how to talk.” Qin Xiaoxi was almost amused by him. She cast her gaze into the distance and saw a few simple wooden houses not far away. Those wooden houses had been in disrepair for a long time, and the sea breeze had invaded them. They were already in tatters.
