The Fourth Financial Crisis

Although the Hanguang Sword Sect still wanted to serve as hosts and invite several young talents from all over Kyushu to stay for a few days, Zhang Zhicheng stopped by Hanguang City on the way just to hand over work to Yang Lu and others. Now the handover of work is almost complete , in order to prevent Elder Qin from ending the talks early and adding variables to the trip to the Arctic Cold Palace, he decisively rejected the invitation from the Hanguang Sword Sect.

Although time was tight, Zhang Zhicheng still found an opportunity to express his doubts to Yang Lu before everyone set off.

Although Yang Lu had already told Zhang Zhicheng that he would not personally visit Yin Huaiyuan in the Arctic Cold Palace and asked him to obey the instructions of Tian Beixi and Lin Musen throughout the process, Zhang Zhicheng was still not used to being given orders by people other than Yang Lu, even if Yang Lu clearly told him that Tian Beixi could be trusted, but he still seemed a little doubtful.

In the end, Lin Musen said something to Zhang Zhicheng, which made Zhang Zhicheng show a relieved expression, and even looked at Yang Lu and Tian Beixi with a slightly changed look.

Yang Lu knew without thinking that he had been tricked by the other party again. If he had known this, he should have made Lin Musen swear to stop gossiping about his relationship with Tian Beixi.

But the matter has come to this, and since Lin Musen's explanation can reassure Zhang Zhicheng, Yang Lu can't say anything more, so he can only adopt the attitude of "you can just guess, anyway, I am a dead pig and I am not afraid of boiling water".

And Zhang Zhicheng, who learned the "truth", boarded the spirit boat in the Arctic Cold Palace with satisfaction. All the gang members who had seen Yang Lu hugging him on the battlefield outside the territory were not impressed by Advisor Yang's skills in controlling women. Convinced!

It's just that Zhang Zhicheng still doesn't know that this time he is not going to the Arctic Cold Palace to investigate some weapon refining problems, but is leading Lin Musen to deceive Yin Huaiyuan, who is obsessed with practicing forbidden arts. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to be so calm.

Before they left, Lin Musen also took out two strange-looking rings. One of the rings was worn by Lin Musen on his left hand, and the other was given to Yang Lu for safekeeping.

These two rings are actually the latest version of the cultivation switch. After Lin Musen advanced to the foundation building stage, his spiritual consciousness became a whole level stronger than that of the monks in the Qi Refining stage, and his control of spiritual energy became more precise.

Just like the earth's semiconductor industry, more sophisticated instruments can produce chips with higher processes. Lin Musen used more sophisticated aura control technology to successfully miniaturize the cultivation switch again, turning it into the ring it is today. .

With this form of cultivation switch, even if something happens in Arctic Cold Palace, Lin Musen can communicate with Yang Lu in time. After all, Lin Musen and Tian Beixi have not had any friendship before, and Zhang Zhicheng also believes that Consultant Yang, not Consultant Yang's woman, is in command. When the three of them disagree, Yang Lu really needs to stand up and make a decision.

After the preparations were completed, the spirit boat flew directly to the direction of the Arctic Han Palace under the watch of Yang Lu.

Elder Qu had introduced before that the Hanguang Sword Sect and the Arctic Cold Palace were separated only by a snowy mountain range. When the Feitian Spirit Boat crossed the mountains, it entered the control range of the Arctic Cold Palace.

Unlike Hanguang City, the headquarters of the Hanguang Sword Sect, which is built directly facing the Eastern Ocean, the headquarters of Arctic Cold Palace is located in a fjord valley in the Arctic state. This valley is surrounded by towering snow-capped mountains, which isolates the cold air from all directions. However, the fjord flowing through the center of the valley floor brought warm currents drawn from the south by the thousand-mile ocean abyss.

Because of this, although the area where the Arctic Cold Palace headquarters is located is further north than the Hanguang Sword Sect, it is the only area in the Arctic state that can develop agriculture, and the Arctic Cold Palace Mountain Gate is located on the top of a snow mountain in the north of the valley. The entire body is made of ice crystals, like an ice throne, overlooking the most elite human settlements in the entire Arctic state.

Since Zhang Zhicheng and others were going to visit Yin Huaiyuan, the spirit boat did not dock in the area where mortals lived, but flew directly to the ice palace where cultivators lived.

As soon as they stepped off the spirit boat, Zhang Zhicheng and Lin Musen's bodies flashed with khaki and purple auras respectively.

This was because the temperature at the Arctic Cold Palace headquarters was too cold, which caused the body-protecting Qi of the two people to be automatically stimulated. However, Wenboshan and Tian Beixi, who had practiced the Arctic Cold Palace mental method, did not show any abnormalities.

Seeing this scene, Wen Boshan explained with a smile: "The Arctic Cold Palace is said to be a dojo built by immortals who practiced ice-based skills in ancient times. The main material of the walls of the Cold Palace is thousand-year-old black ice, which can speed up the cultivation of ice-based skills. It is a sacred object that reflects the progress of people’s cultivation. It releases cold energy at all times. Although the temperature is not extremely cold, it is not something ordinary mortals can endure. If we do not practice the special mental method of our Arctic Cold Palace, we will continue to suffer slight It’s a backlash, but everyone should be fine!”

Tian Beixi waved his hand casually and said: "This level of cold air can be resisted by the body-protecting Qi in the later stage of weapon refining!"

Zhang Zhicheng, on the other hand, stared at the wall of the Arctic Cold Palace and said in shock: "Are the entire walls of the Arctic Cold Palace made of thousand-year-old black ice? Even thousand-year-old black ice that is about a foot square can be used as a high-level cold stone." The main material of ice attribute magic weapon, ancient immortals actually built a palace out of thousands of years of ice?"

Zhang Zhicheng's rustic appearance made Wenboshan a little funny.

As a direct disciple of Yuanying Ancestor, Wenboshan talks and laughs with the famous second-generation immortals and cultivation geniuses all year round. These people are well-informed people, and there are very few people who have not heard of the famous Millennium Mystic in Arctic Cold Palace. Ice palace.

However, Zhang Zhicheng is neither a second generation immortal nor a cultivation genius. As a low-level disciple who has been picking up trash at Qianjimen all year round, his understanding of the world of cultivation is extremely pitiful. He really had no idea that the headquarters of Arctic Han Palace looked like this.

Wenboshan couldn't laugh at his master's guests in person, so he patiently explained: "Yes, the entire Arctic Cold Palace is made of thousands of years of black ice. It's not like there were no weapon refiners who wanted to use our Arctic Cold Palace in the past. It’s a pity that these thousands of years of mysterious ice have been cast by ancient immortals with special spells, and they are already integrated into one piece. Even the monks at the Nascent Soul Stage cannot pluck an ice brick from the wall of the Cold Palace.”

With that said, Wenboshan activated his magic power and lightly knocked on the wall of the Arctic Cold Palace. As if some mechanism had been activated, the entire outer wall of the Arctic Cold Palace suddenly lit up with dense spiritual patterns.

"These thousand-year-old black ice is also a component of the Arctic Cold Palace's protective formation. If you use your brain wrongly on it, even the golden elixir stage monks will be wiped out." Wen Boshan explained.

Zhang Zhicheng had just stretched his hand towards the outer wall of the Arctic Cold Palace, and after hearing Wenbo Shan's introduction, he quickly retracted his hand.

Seeing that Zhang Zhicheng seemed unreliable, Wen Boshan was also a little disappointed, but he did not show it. Instead, he made an invitation gesture and led everyone into the palace.

Unexpectedly, there were not many monks walking around in the headquarters of the largest sect in Arctic State.

According to Wenboshan and Tian Beixi's explanation, Lin Musen and Zhang Zhicheng learned that because the space inside the Arctic Cold Palace is limited, and the power of the Millennium Black Ice is not infinite, the monks who can enter the Arctic Cold Palace to practice must at least have In the foundation-building stage, only Hetian Beixi, a direct disciple of a few great elders, can be an exception. This is in line with the logic that most resources in the cultivation world are tilted towards a few people.
