Chapter 956.
Chapter 956: It’s not easy to live
Xu Chuniang roughly calculated, the immortal energy in her body, enough for the two to last a few months in Zhangwei Mountain.
A few months, perhaps find a way to withstand the cold.
Having already entered the range of Zhangwei Mountain, there was no way to continue utilizing her Shrinking Ground into Inch aptitude, Xu Chuniang only brought Little White with her as she continued to rush in the direction of Zhangwei Mountain.
Not having traveled for long, they saw a tall stone house.
Right at this moment, the door of the stone house opened a crack, and a divine sense transmitted out along the crack.
“Are the two of you new ascensionists?”
Xu Chuniang had a vague guess in her heart, perhaps this stone house was the one that Chang Qing had said was the guide.
“We are.”
“Come in, move faster.”
At the words, the door to the stone house opened halfway.
Xu Chuniang and Xiao Bai were not ambiguous, guessing that this stone house likely had the effect of keeping out the cold, and hurriedly entered the stone house before closing the stone door with their hands.
In the stone house, the Earth Immortal who was originally prepared to close the door saw this scene, silently withdrew his hand, and motionlessly sized up Xu Chunniang.
Although she was a human, her strength was not small.
The temperature in the stone house was indeed quite a bit higher than outside.
There was also a bonfire burning on the ground, emitting the distinctive fragrance of cedar.
Xu Chuniang’s gaze fell onto the old man wearing a thick fur coat in front of the bonfire.
“Is senior the receiver of Zhangwei Mountain?”
The old man hummed lightly, picking up a piece of cedar from the side and throwing it into the bonfire, ruffling the fire.
“There’s no need to call me senior, my surname is Gong, I don’t know what you two call yourself?”
“Xu Chuniang, Xiao Bai.”
Xu Chuniang pointed at herself and then pointed at Xiao Bai.
“Being assigned to this Zhangwei Mountain, I don’t know if it’s your fortune or misfortune.”
The old man surnamed Gong sighed, “Although the livelihood of Zhangwei Mountain is difficult, as long as you are diligent, you will never freeze to death, and you will be able to leave after saving up a few hundred to a thousand years of immortal crystals.”
Xiao Bai frowned, he really didn’t like this Zhangwei Mountain, “Why can’t we be resettled elsewhere?”
The old man surnamed Gong glared at Xiao Bai, “The Zongdou Heaven is a wide area, but it can’t help that there are more and more cultivators in the First Heaven, and those who just ascended to the Immortal Realm don’t have much of a good place to go.
You newcomer, it’s good to have a free place to stay, what qualifications do you have to pick and choose?”
Xiao Bai opened his mouth to retort, but he didn’t know where to start, so he closed his mouth deflatedly and said sullenly.
“How is this Immortal World like this ah, it’s not as good as the Spirit World.”
To such complaints, the old man surnamed Gong seemed to be accustomed to it, took down the wine warmed on the campfire and drank a mouthful of it painfully, revealing a contented look.
“Can’t get used to it ah, can’t get used to it you can leave the Immortal World ah, anyway, in the Immortal World can’t get on with the Immortals are many, and it’s not bad for you one.”
Xiao Bai was said to be full of red face, “Who said I can’t mix in the Immortal World? I just think, think ……”
The old man surnamed Gong sighed, but did not have a problem with Xiao Bai, a hairy little immortal.
He put down the wine gourd in his hand, “Think that the Immortal World is not as wonderful as you imagined? Recognize the reality before it’s too late, if you’re still not sober, go outside the house and blow some air to calm down.”
Xu Chuniang rounded off the conversation, “Elder Gong, my brother, his body is weak and not resistant to the cold, it’s not that he dislikes Zhangwei Mountain being bad.
Since we siblings have come to this immortal realm, there is bound to be no reason to leave.” Gong old man looked better and nodded his head.
“This is only like words, in the lower realm of the jinx so many multiple robberies good ascension, how can because of this little thing to leave the immortal world?”
Satisfied with a sip of wine, he continued.
“If you want to survive in Zhangwei Mountain, the most important thing is to build a suitable stone house.”
The old man surnamed Gong pointed at the walls of the stone house, “This is Qinggang stone, the texture is extremely hard and impervious to wind, the disadvantage is that it is a bit bulky and difficult to mine.”
Xu Chuniang’s gaze fell onto the stone wall, “This greenoka stone, can it be obtained in Zhangwei Mountain?”
“Yes, but Zhangwei Mountain, not everywhere has greenoka stone.
I suggest that when you choose a site in a moment, choose a place closer to the stone mine, this will save you a lot of effort.”
The old man surnamed Gong nodded and took another piece of cedar wood from the ground, handing it to Xu Chuniang.
“This is cumulus cedar, only found in places where the snow stays constant for years, the wood of cumulus cedar is extraordinarily resistant to burning, and can dramatically increase the temperature of the surrounding area, but cutting it down, it’s not too difficult.”
Xu Chuniang took the Accumulated Snow Pine, carefully examined the grain on the wood, and smelled the flavor.
After confirming that she wouldn’t miss it if she came across it in the future, she returned this cut of Accumulated Snow Pine in her hand back to the old man surnamed Gong, and said earnestly, “I’ll make a note of it.”
The old man grinned, took the accumulated snow pine and casually threw it to the side, and pointed to the fur coat on his body.
“Immortal beasts that are able to survive in extremely cold environments like Zhangwei Mountain are all extremely cold-resistant, so you can take their fur to make clothes to protect them from the cold.
However, some Immortal Beasts are so powerful that even I am no match for them, and there are even more Immortals who have died in the mouths of Immortal Beasts.”
The old man, after recounting many things that needed to be taken care of to survive in Zhangwei Mountain, took out a scroll and unfolded it.
The moment the scroll was opened, the entire Zhangwei Mountain jumped onto the paper, a stone, a bird, a blade of grass and a tree, all of them were lifelike.
Within this scroll, there was actually a small Zhangwei Mountain that had been shrunk countless times, and even the stone house they were staying in right now was also within it.
The old man surnamed Gong pointed at the shrunken version of Zhangwei Mountain and circled out a few more territories.
“These places are a few territories in the Chapter Tail Mountain that are relatively good for survival, so you guys can pick a place as a place to settle down.
Don’t blame me for not reminding you beforehand, the higher the place, the colder it is, and the Immortals who were frozen alive in Zhangwei Mountain are by no means unique.”
Xu Chuniang jotted down the Gong elder’s reminder and surveyed the entire Zhangwei Mountain, her brows furrowing slightly.
The better lots had basically been picked over by others.
The remaining ones were either too far from the quarry or too high.
After a little thought, Xu Chuniang asked the old man surnamed Gong, “If I use double-layered greenoka stone to build a stone house, can I increase its cold resistance?”
The old man gave her an unexpected look and nodded lightly.
“Naturally, it is possible, but it is not enough to use a stone house built with greenoka stone, every few days, one needs to use immortal qi to energize the stone house, and in this way, the consumption of immortal qi will also increase.
Moreover, building a stone house with double-layered greenoka stone is quite time-consuming, and the life span of a stone house can often only be used for anywhere from five to twenty years, at which time a new stone house will need to be built.”
“A stone house can only exist for such a short period of time?”
Xu Chuniang frowned, the fact that stone houses actually had a lifespan limit was something she hadn’t thought about.
“Not bad, the exact situation depends on the quality of the greenoka stone, as well as the strength of the wind and snow, in general, the stone house can be used for ten years.”
If that was the case, choosing an abode that was closer to the stone mine would be important.
