A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

This time, Du Shuangshuang was transported directly to a valley. She was shivering from the cold the moment she landed, and soon her hands and feet were losing control. Normally, a cultivator should be immune to cold and heat; ordinary cold wouldn't be unbearable. While extreme cold could make people uncomfortable, it wouldn't be this cold. Du Shuangshuang quickly dug out her robes; she remembered she had several that offered insulation.

After putting on the new robes, Du Shuangshuang finally felt better, but she was still very cold. She kept putting them on until she had put on five robes before she felt better. Du Shuangshuang guessed that this must be an extremely cold place, otherwise it wouldn't be so cold. Five robes, all high-end, all top-grade magic weapons. If these were lower-level robes, five more would probably not be enough.

Luckily, he was only using the inherent insulation properties of his robes, and didn't need to activate his spiritual energy. Otherwise, he would have frozen to death here. But if that were the case, he could just teleport away. As for where he would go, it all depended on fate. He still had eight teleportation talismans in his hand. He couldn't be transported to dangerous places eight times. How unlucky would that be? However, Du Shuangshuang didn't feel unlucky at all. Instead, he felt very lucky. Compared to his previous life, life didn't need to be too good. As long as he lived well, his good days were still to come!

Looking around, there is ice and snow everywhere. This kind of environment does not appear on the top of the mountain but in the valley. This situation is probably only found in the world of immortal cultivation.

It was too cold. Du Shuangshuang continued to move forward. He searched the surroundings with his spiritual sense, but found only ice and snow. He did not find any spiritual creatures or monsters. However, such places can often breed some extremely cold things, but it is really difficult to find them in this ice and snow. In fact, spiritual sense is not very useful and is not as useful as the naked eye.

Prolonged use of spiritual consciousness would tire it. Probing spiritual consciousness involves projecting it outwards, extending it like a thread, allowing the user to observe the surroundings wherever it reaches. However, in this freezing cold of ice and snow, this would be affected. Extended spiritual consciousness would shiver at the chill of the air, and prolonged exposure would also lead to frostbite.

Spiritual consciousness is actually very fragile and cannot be released for long periods of time. If this is done for a long time, it will be overdrawn and cause dizziness. Generally, people will not release it carelessly, and even if they do, they will be very careful. If they encounter a spiritual consciousness stronger than their own, if the other party is hostile and attacks you, the spiritual consciousness will be easily damaged. Once the spiritual consciousness is damaged, it is difficult to heal. If the damage is very minor, it will only hurt for a while, and it will slowly recover after a while. However, if the spiritual consciousness is damaged too much, it is likely to affect cultivation and even make the whole person unclear, and it is possible to become a fool.

Due to coincidence, Du Shuangshuang's spiritual consciousness is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Although she is only in the late stage of foundation building, the strength of her spiritual consciousness has far exceeded that of the great perfection of foundation building. When she just built the foundation, the strength of her spiritual consciousness had reached the strength of the great perfection of foundation building, which is twice that of ordinary foundation building cultivators.

Because of the possession of another body, Du Shuangshuang's spiritual awareness was much stronger than that of ordinary people. When she reached the foundation-building stage, ordinary cultivators could project about 1,500 meters, but Du Shuangshuang could project 3,000 meters.

Now in the middle stage of foundation building, the average cultivator's spiritual consciousness can be projected up to two thousand meters; but Du Shuangshuang can already project it up to about three thousand five hundred meters.

As I was walking, I suddenly felt like I stepped on something different. I squatted down and looked carefully. It turned out to be an ice flower. It was a small flower, completely transparent and crystal clear. If you didn't pay attention, you would not be able to find it in the snow.

The extreme ice flower grows in extremely cold places. If taken directly or refined into Qingxin Pills, it can treat fire poison and help cultivators overcome the inner demon tribulation. It is especially useful for demon cultivators. Because of the cultivation methods, demon cultivators are easily possessed and out of control. Taking Qingxin Pills can solve this problem.

Du Shuangshuang carefully picked it up and put it into the jade box. This flower cannot be grown in the bracelet. Although the bracelet can simulate different environments, it cannot imitate extremely cold or hot environments.

Du Shuangshuang simply bent down and carefully examined the flowers as she walked. Sure enough, after walking a dozen steps, she found another one. Five days later, Du Shuangshuang had harvested fifteen Extreme Ice Flowers.

There are also three Extremely Cold Fruits. Ice Spiritual Root cultivators can directly advance to a lower realm regardless of their level after taking them. Of course, this only works for cultivators below the Spiritual Transformation stage. After the Spiritual Transformation stage, it only helps with advancement, and the advancement effect only occurs the first time a person takes it. Furthermore, Du Shuangshuang also needs this fruit to help her achieve the Grand Mastery of her Ice Skin and Jade Bone Technique.

The Ice Skin and Jade Bone Art has four stages: entry, minor accomplishment, refinement, and mastery. The first three stages are further divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Reaching mastery is considered the highest level. At this point, skin becomes as delicate as jade, bones become translucent, and the body itself reaches the strength of an immortal, allowing one to roam freely in the world of immortal cultivation. The thought of experiencing the body of an immortal with the cultivation of a cultivator is thrilling.

I finally saw the end of the extremely cold land, but it was connected to the extremely hot land. It turned out to be a place of yin and yang. The overall environment of this valley was half extremely cold and half extremely hot, a rare yin and yang valley. I didn't know if I could withstand the extremely hot part. How should I step in? Would I burn myself to death?

At the junction of the two places, several tea trees standing side by side are even more eye-catching. There is only one kind of tea tree that grows in this special environment, and that is the best tea, Guyuan tea.

Guyuan Tea: Drink a cup before you cross the tribulation. No precautions are required to ensure a smooth and safe passage through the tribulation. Even if you've just broken through, just one sip will help stabilize your cultivation. If your Dao heart is unstable, a cup will instantly bring you peace of mind. It also has the effect of balancing cold and heat. Generally speaking, when people are poisoned by heat or fire, they will choose cold-natured spiritual plants to suppress or detoxify. When they are poisoned by cold, they use hot-natured spiritual plants to suppress and detoxify. However, this often requires a reasonable amount of control, and excessive consumption is also harmful to the human body. However, Guyuan Tea does not require so much consideration. Whether it is cold, heat or fire poison, it can be detoxified. Taking more will only bring benefits and no harm. It is so amazing. Who can blame it for its unnatural growth environment? Half of it is in extreme cold and half is in extreme heat, and both sides can grow exactly the same.

Du Shuangshuang took out the jade box, leaving not a single leaf behind. She even cut off some branches. It wasn't that she was planning to plant cuttings; she simply didn't have the resources to grow it. She just figured the leaves were so good for making tea, so why would the branches be useless? No one said branches couldn't be used to make tea! She didn't stop until the jade box was completely filled.

The extremely hot place ahead looked scary at first, and Du Shuangshuang was worried that she would be roasted as soon as she stepped in. However, while picking tea leaves, she slowly tried to go there, and it turned out to be okay. It was a bit hot, and indeed very scorching, but it wouldn't hurt her.

Especially when she saw the fiery red Extreme Flame Flower opposite, Du Shuangshuang didn't care about the burning soles of her feet and rushed over like a gust of wind.

The Extreme Flame Flower (Ji Yan Hua) grows in extremely hot climates. Its entire plant is red, with deep crimson foliage and vibrant red flowers. It reaches up to 2 meters tall. Its leaves are elliptical to oblong, larger than two palms combined, with pointed to acuminate apex and a broad, cuneate, decurrent, and petiolate base. The upper surface of the leaves is densely covered with small, dot-like stalactites, smooth and glabrous, while the underside is finely hairy. The flower spikes resemble burning flames, forming panicles of thyrsoid inflorescences.

For cultivators with fire spiritual roots, they can be promoted to a small realm directly after taking it regardless of their level. Of course, it is only useful below the Spirit Transformation Realm. After the Spirit Transformation Realm, it is only helpful for advancement. As for the advancement effect, everyone will only have this effect when taking it for the first time.

I have a fire spirit root, how can I not be green-eyed? Even in the extremely hot land, this extreme fire flower is not common. I shuttle between the extremely hot and extremely cold lands, because staying in the extremely hot land for a long time is too unbearable, so I move to the extremely cold land.

In half a month, only five Extreme Flame Flowers were collected. However, two Nine-Turn Red Extreme Ganoderma were collected, which were the main ingredients for refining the Nine-Turn Pill. The Nine-Turn Pill is an eighth-level elixir, a sacred healing elixir that is effective for those who have survived the Tribulation or below. As long as there is still a breath left, it can save the person and help the body recover its Qi, blood, spirit and soul, but it cannot regenerate a damaged body.

The petals of the Black Water Blood Lotus can be taken directly to sustain life and have a certain healing and recovery effect. The elixir refined from it is the eighth-level Guiyuan Pill, which is full of vitality and has an excellent healing effect. It can save lives and also regenerate missing limbs. Legend has it that it can bring the dead back to life, but it has no effect on the soul. It is effective for those who have just crossed the tribulation and below.

Du Shuangshuang felt that it was still very safe here. There were no monsters here. Even if other cultivators accidentally came here, they would not be able to stay here for long. Even if they were Jindan cultivators, without so many heat-insulating and cold-proof robes, they would not be able to stay here for a long time.

Although she wasn't comfortable staying here, the spiritual energy here was much richer than outside, and any spiritual plant here was a treasure. So Du Shuangshuang decided to stay here permanently until she left. Although she still coveted the earth-armored beast's meat, the secret realm was so vast that even if she left now, she might not be able to find it. Besides, the outside world was so dangerous, and it would only get worse the further she went. It would be better to practice while exploring here.

Because of the Extreme Flame Flower, Du Shuangshuang is now in the late stage of foundation building. But if she wants to break through to the Golden Core stage, even with the high concentration of spiritual energy here, Du Shuangshuang estimates that it will take ten to eight years. But if she goes out, it will take at least ten to eight years, right? She better hurry up and find a treasure to cultivate.

Du Shuangshuang also found some fire crystals in the extremely hot place, which could be placed under the alchemy furnace to replace spiritual fire when refining pills. For cultivators with insufficient cultivation or without fire spiritual roots, they are a treasure.

Du Shuangshuang continued to explore the Liangyi Valley. In addition to collecting precious spiritual plants, she also discovered a cave. The cave was shining with a strange light, which aroused her curiosity.
