Ball Ball Cultivation

After searching for three months in the vast white ice field in the wind and snow without any results, they finally went to Snow City, the largest city closest to the North Ice Field.

The ice energy here is rich, and the buildings and fortresses in the city are all in the shape of sharp ice sculptures, cold and sharp.

This is also a city where humans and demons live together, and the majority of them are demons. Those little demons that have not fully transformed can be seen everywhere.

Later, Qiuqiu realized that those transformed shapes were not entirely because they were half-demons. Due to their mixed bloodlines, they were unable to transform into a certain form. They could only have furry ears and swinging tails like this, and the rest were human characteristics.

There is no record of people like Bai Yi being able to transform into two forms. Qiuqiu is also scared. She is not afraid that the half-demon she gives birth to will be weak, but she is afraid that the child will be looked down upon and become mentally abnormal. After all, the growth environment is still the main factor that determines one's character.

Qiuqiu knew that her genes had been transformed and strengthened by interstellar medicine, which resulted in the special bloodline of her offspring. In addition, she was a chaotic spirit with strong tolerance, and the traces of chaotic energy she produced could purify her bloodline, so she gave birth to a little cub with a bloodline monster.

A boy about ten years old with gray pointed ears ran up to Qiuqiu and said, "Fairy, do you want to be led the way? All it takes is a spirit stone. If you want to know anything, you can ask me."

Seeing these half-demon children who were left alone and their hard lives, I felt sorry for them and missed Xuan Chen and Xuan Shen very much. They were less than seven years old when I left, and I don’t know how they are doing now.

"Okay, lead the way. Let's find a warm place."

"Okay, Fairy, you can call me Gray Ear. Are you looking for an inn? Or do you want to stay in a warm house? A house only costs eighty spirit stones, and the cheapest inn costs a hundred spirit stones."

"Residential house, any good recommendations?"

"You can live in my house, right on East Third Street. It's just me and my mom. It's clean and warm, and you can eat delicious hot meals."

"Then let's go to your house."

Qiuqiu could see that this little gray-eared boy was smart and had a clear vision. Moreover, Qiuqiu's inquiry about Xuanchen and Xuanshen's affairs was a secret, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary disputes.

Led by Little Gray Ear, they arrived at a small white fortress. Qiuqiu used his spiritual sense to explore the outside and found that there was only a young and beautiful woman in her thirties inside, adding firewood to the fireplace in the middle hall. There were three small rooms near the hall, each about a dozen square meters, simply and warmly decorated.

Sensing someone coming, she first raised the door curtain, then saw the ball behind Xiao Hui's ear and smiled faintly, "Fairy, please come in. The room closest to the fireplace is the largest and warmest."

Qiuqiu had just used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that it was indeed as his master had said. "I'll pay for three days' room first. Can you provide two meals?"

"Spiritual food containing spiritual energy, one meal costs ten spiritual stones."

Qiuqiu directly gave her three hundred spirit stones and sat in front of the fireplace to chat with the woman.

Seeing that the woman was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is your name?"

"My husband's surname is Yan, so just call me Madam Yan."

"Madam Yan, I'd like to ask, what's so special about this Snow City?"

"You want to know why humans and demons get along so harmoniously?"

Qiuqiu nodded, and Madam Yan slowly recounted, "The Lord of Snow City is a great half-demon who has protected the city for nearly a thousand years. Survival is difficult for half-demons outside, so he traveled thousands of miles to come here in search of a pure land to live in peace."

"Are all babies born from humans and demons half-demon?"

"Of course not. Some are born human, but retain a bit of demon talent. Some are born beast-shaped demons, but are just smarter than ordinary demons. Only a small number retain the appearance characteristics of both humans and demons. Their talents are not as strong as those of demons, and their appearance is not accepted by humans, so they are ostracized. It can be considered an incomplete combination."

"Is there anyone who can be completely transformed into a demon or a human at birth?"

"I've never heard of that. There's not even a legend about a half-demon that can transform from birth!"

"Then tell me the legend of this northern ice field?"

Madam Yan glanced at Qiuqiu. It turned out that because she couldn't sense Qiuqiu's cultivation level, she had been bowing her head to show respect. After chatting for a while, she found that Qiuqiu was a gentle senior. Only then did she dare to look up to see what Qiuqiu meant by asking questions. Seeing nothing unusual, she quickly lowered her head, as if thinking.

"There are no legends about this Northern Icefield. The oldest legend is that this was originally the homeland of the Snow God Clan. Later, the Snow God Clan retreated and no trace of them could be found. Therefore, it has now become a training ground for cultivators."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk about this further, Qiuqiu asked, "Tell me the general location of the demons and humans around here. Are there any taboos?"

"Here is a distribution map. Would you like a copy, senior?"

"How many spirit stones?"

"Ten spirit stones." Qiuqiu took out the spirit stones and got a map. He opened it and read it carefully on the spot. He found that the location he explored had strong winds and snow, no large ethnic groups lived there, the climate was harsh, the spiritual energy was chaotic, and edible food was scarce.

Large tribes all settled along the coastline. Not far from the coastline were several major tribes of the sea people. I had already been to the Xuanwu tribe's territory, which was closer to Liuyun City. The Mermaid Valley was not far from Snow City, and I could reach it in three days if I marched at full speed.

Finally, an idea came to mind. "Is there a place here that sells information?"

Madam Yan looked at Qiuqiu and sighed, "I'll let Hui'er take you there tomorrow at noon."

Qiuqiu noticed that Madam Yan always left things unsaid, so he stopped exploring and went back to his room to set up a simple defensive formation. He then sat cross-legged in meditation and practiced, while releasing his spiritual sense to investigate the surrounding situation.

The residents in the surrounding ice fortresses are basically in similar situations, and most of them have good temperaments. As for Madam Yan, her husband is a complete half-demon, that is, a half-demon who retains the characteristics of the demon clan but is one level weaker than a demon beast. He has been training for many years and has not returned. Madam Yan raised the little cub alone. She is a cautious person and will not say anything that she shouldn't say.

The next morning, Qiuqiu was led by Hui'er to a dilapidated stone fort. He bowed three times to the silver frost tree outside, then gently pushed the gate of the stone fort. After the gate opened, he led Qiuqiu to a utility room. Inside, there was an old man in gray clothes. Hui'er offered him three spirit stones and said, "Grandpa Shan, send the fairy to Yuxiang."

The old man in gray took the spirit stone and activated the teleportation array. Qiuqiu came to an empty room with only a door with "Yuxiang" written on it. He entered the room and saw a monk wearing a black cloak. Qiuqiu then realized how rare it was for him to come and buy information by just using a little illusion to blur his appearance. It was really audacious. However, when he thought that he was already in the Nascent Soul stage, he was not so scared.
