That moment then, just like this moment now
Why would Gu Yue Ling suddenly mention the Extreme North? This question suddenly popped into Chen Feng's mind.
To be honest, Gu Yue Ling's question stumped him a bit.
He couldn't even be sure if this was Gu Yue Ling testing him or if she was genuinely curious and wanted an answer.
Logically speaking, the Star Dou Great Forest, being a fellow Soul Beast force, should have a much better understanding of the Extreme North than the human side.
After all, both of these entities have existed for much longer than humans, and they may have interacted with each other before.
However, we cannot ignore the possibility that the Star Dou Great Forest and the Extreme North have been isolated from each other for a long time, resulting in them being unaware of each other's current situation.
This is why Gu Yue Ling needed to find humans to inquire about the situation.
However, she clearly chose the wrong target in this matter. In the Douluo Dalu 1 era, humanity's understanding of the Star Dou Great Forest was not very deep, let alone the Extreme North, which was also Life Forbidden Zone.
Even in terms of being Life Forbidden Zone, the Extreme North is more deserving of the name than the Star Dou Great Forest.
If the Star Dou Great Forest is called Life Forbidden Zone by humans because the Soul Beast within it are powerful and dangerous...
Therefore, the Extreme North is a no-go zone for the vast majority of creatures.
Not only does it have powerful and dangerous Soul Beast, just like the Star Dou Great Forest, but it also has an extremely harsh environment, which makes it a place that few people dare to set foot in.
So much so that even ten thousand years later, humanity still knew very little about the Extreme North.
Currently, the human world knows even less about that place, so when asked about Gu Yue Ling's question, everyone else shook their heads, indicating they couldn't answer.
None of them possessed Ice Attribute, so naturally they wouldn't bother to learn about the Extreme North.
At this moment, perhaps noticing Chen Feng's thoughtful expression, Gu Yue Ling asked:
"Chen Feng, do you know something?"
Everyone else looked at Chen Feng, who thought for a moment and asked:
Why do you suddenly want to know about this? Do you plan to go to the Extreme North to find Soul Beast next?
Gu Yue Ling answered without hesitation:
"It's mainly out of curiosity. After all, I've already been to the Star Dou Great Forest and the Death Desert, so I'm very interested in seeing what other Life Forbidden Zone are like."
Chen Feng nodded to indicate that he understood. "So you want to become a great explorer, to travel to all the Life Forbidden Zone in this world, and to experience their scenery?"
"You could say that," Gu Yue Ling said with a smile. "Do you know anything about that place?"
"I don't know much about it. Even though I tried hard to find relevant information about that place, I didn't find much, which means not many people have explored that place." Chen Feng shook his head.
"Bro Feng, why are you looking for information about the Extreme North?" Ma Hongjun asked curiously.
"Is it to learn about the Soul Beast in different places?" Oscar guessed.
"That's partly true, but the main reason is that I might go there to obtain Soul Ring later," Chen Feng said.
Tang San suddenly realized, "That's right, your Martial Soul needs different attributes, so your Water-and-Fire-Immune Body can be a great help."
"That's right, but I'm not really sure if I can absorb Ice Attribute Soul Ring, so we'll have to try it to find out," Chen Feng agreed.
Although the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot are two Immortal Herb with conflicting attributes, so consuming them together won't significantly boost your Soul Power like other herbs, the Water and Fire Impervious Body they grant is truly convenient.
Neither ice nor fire could affect Chen Feng, and neither extreme heat nor extreme cold posed any threat to him, allowing him to travel freely to many places.
Others might worry about dying from heat or cold when they go to the Death Desert and the Extreme North, and need to prepare special measures to deal with the abnormal environment, but Chen Feng does not need to.
It's still uncertain whether the Kan Trigram can absorb Ice Attribute Soul Ring, but the attribute of the Li Trigram is already determined.
Only then will the true power of the Ice-Fire Twin Immortal Herbs be unleashed.
Compared to other Immortal Herb, these Immortal Herb are indeed the most suitable for Chen Feng's multi-attribute Martial Soul.
"So, when do you plan to get your next Soul Ring, you'll be heading to the Extreme North?" Gu Yue Ling asked.
"I'll go with the Fourth Soul Ring. I'm already level 34, and there's still over a year until the Spirit Master Tournament. I'll try to advance to Soul Ancestor before the Spirit Master Tournament," Chen Feng said.
The Ice-Fire Twin Immortal Herbs did not significantly improve his Soul Power, so his Soul Power was lower than others, only slightly higher than Xiao Wu who had not taken the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. This was because he had absorbed a transcendent Soul Ring when he advanced to Soul Elder.
But that's alright. As long as Chen Feng advances to Soul Ancestor before the Spirit Master Tournament, his strength will be among the top in the competition.
Because the Foundation Building Method was only proposed about six years ago, although the younger generation has been influenced by Foundation Building Method, it has not yet reached a very obvious level.
Therefore, it can be foreseen that in future Spirit Master Tournament, the contestants will likely still be mainly at the Soul Elder level, but the number of Soul Ancestor should be greater than in the Original Work.
As for the three Spirit King from the Spirit Hall, they were considered to be above average in terms of combat power. This was not only because of their good talent, but also because they had the advantage of age.
With the addition of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Spirit Hall team's combat power in this tournament is truly overpowered.
In the Original Work, if Tang San hadn't used the Clear Sky Hammer and pulled off some kind of cheat-like Bat-Wing Reincarnation, using fragments of his Eight Spider Lances to poison the Spirit Hall team, the Spirit Hall would most likely have won the championship in this competition.
However, Chen Feng did not want Tang San to easily expose the Clear Sky Hammer, and the Eight Spider Lances did not exist, so the Original Work approach to dealing with the Golden Generation could not be used. Chen Feng needed to find another way to deal with the Spirit Hall team.
As for the most troublesome Hu Liena Siblings and her brother, Chen Feng also had a preliminary idea of how to deal with them, the key being the "Shunatsu".
If we can take down one enemy at the start with "Shunatsu" and prevent the Martial Soul Fusion Skill from happening, then we'll have a fighting chance against the Spirit Hall team.
To achieve this tactical objective, Chen Feng would need to possess Soul Ancestor- level strength so that his "Shunatsu" could pose a threat to either Hu Liena Siblings.
Of course, thinking about the Finals opponent of the Spirit Master Tournament is still too far away. We don't even know what Chen Feng the Heaven Dou Royal Team, which is right here in our hometown, looks like yet.
Therefore, Chen Feng's most urgent task right now is to work hard to cultivate and improve his Soul Power.
For him, it was a must for the Nine-Headed Serpent Academy to win the championship of this Spirit Master Tournament, as it would greatly enhance the Academy's reputation.
With sufficient prestige, one can attract more outstanding talents and make it easier for Chen Feng to spread his ideas and find or cultivate like-minded people.
Gu Yue Ling was unaware of Chen Feng's inner thoughts. When she heard Chen Feng say that he would go to the Extreme North when he reached Level 40, she replied without much hesitation:
"Then I'll go with you. I'm curious to see what it's like there."
"Alright, it's settled then." Chen Feng nodded and said.
He didn't know why Gu Yue Ling cared so much about the Extreme North, but if he and Gu Yue Ling went there together later, they would most likely be able to find some clues.
Just as Chen Feng was thinking this, he heard Ning Rongrong suddenly say:
"I'm also quite interested in the Extreme North, Xiao Feng. Take me with you then."
Chen Feng looked up at the sound and saw Ning Rongrong with a smile on her face, but there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing also spoke up, "Me too, I'm interested there as well."
"Me too." Ma Hongjun wanted to join in the fun, but before he could finish speaking, Chen Feng glared at him.
You, a fiery bird, going out into the Frozen Wasteland, aren't you afraid of freezing to death?
At the crucial moment, Oscar smoothed things over, saying, "Hey, it's not like Bro Feng will reach Level 40 anytime soon. Who knows what will happen then? Let's talk about the rest later."
"Xiao Ao is right, let's talk about it later." Chen Feng took the opportunity to end the conversation.
While Chen Feng was chatting, Yang Wudi arrived in Heaven Dou City, where a gathering of the Four Clans was held.
However, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, as the current owners of the Min Clan and Yu Clan, also participated in this gathering of the Four Clans.
As for Tang Hao, after meeting with the Three Clans Clan Chief, he did not linger and returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to be with his wife, showing no intention of meeting Yang Wudi.
Because Yang Wudi harbored even greater hostility towards the Clear Sky Sect than Niu Gao, and was also aloof, arrogant, and headstrong, Tang Hao didn't know what might happen if he met him, so he simply avoided him.
Anyway, Yang Wudi and Tang Hao weren't particularly close to begin with, so it wasn't a big deal if they didn't see each other.
Yang Wudi was a middle-aged man with a stern face. After catching up with his three old friends, he came to pay his respects to Ning Fengzhi.
"Greetings, Sect Master Ning, and Your Excellency Bone Douluo," Yang Wudi said with a respectful but firm fist salute.
Yang Wudi did not show any dissatisfaction with the appearance of Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong.
This was mainly because he knew that the Min Clan and Yu Clan were doing well in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and that Ning Fengzhi treated Bai He and Niu Gao very well. Therefore, Yang Wudi had a fair attitude towards Ning Fengzhi, his old friend's employer, and did not regard Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong as outsiders at the gathering of the Four Clans.
"Clan Leader Yang, there's no need for such formalities," Ning Fengzhi a slight smile.
Yang Wudi glanced at the three people gathered behind him, watching the situation unfold, and said to Ning Fengzhi:
"These three elder brothers wrote to me to invite me here, saying that they wanted to hold a gathering of the Four Clans ahead of schedule. But after seeing Sect Master Ning and the other two, I knew that there was something else going on at this gathering. Sect Master Ning, don't you agree?"
"That's true. I have something to discuss with Clan Leader Yang," Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly.
Yang Wudi pondered for a moment and said:
"If Sect Master Ning is trying to recruit my Breaking Clan into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then please forgive me for not being able to accept it. Admittedly, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a good place to belong, and I have seen the improvement in the mental state of my two older brothers over the years."
"But that incident back then left a considerable shadow on my Breaking Clan, and now the Breaking Clan is capable of supporting itself, so I am no longer willing to live under someone else's roof."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Clan Leader Yang, you misunderstand. I don't intend to recruit the Breaking Clan into the sect; I simply want to do business with the Breaking Clan."
"Do business?" Yang Wudi, somewhat puzzled.
Not far away, Niu Gao couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling that this scene seemed somewhat familiar.
He had done business with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect back then, and a few years later, the Defense Clan became part of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Was that time and moment just like this moment?
Although Yang Wudi knew that Niu Gao had done business with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the past, he also knew that Niu Gao's allegiance to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was entirely voluntary.
Ning Fengzhi did not use any underhanded methods, so Yang Wudi had a very good impression of Ning Fengzhi.
He didn't think he would end up like Niu Gao, choosing to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, because the Breaking Clan had already developed significantly, and the profits from pharmaceuticals were enough to support Breaking Clan livelihood.
As long as Yang Wudi insists on not surrendering, Ning Fengzhi can't force him with force, can he? Bai He and Niu Gao are both watching.
Given the current vibrant and flourishing state of the Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi would never stoop to the point of seeking refuge.
Therefore, the advantage lies with him!
Thinking of this, Yang Wudi asked curiously:
"What kind of business does Sect Master Ning want to do with me?"
"I wonder if Clan Leader Yang can make medicines to help enhance physical fitness? I need the Strengthen the Foundation and Nourish the Essence, and boosts vitality, suitable for Support System Spirit Master, and won't cause any harm to the body," Ning Fengzhi asked.
He made this request because he learned some things about the Ring Expansion Method from Chen Feng.
As long as one's physical fitness meets the requirements, one can obtain Soul Ring exceeding the previous limit, which is undoubtedly of great significance to any Soul Master.
However, as a support-type sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Support System Spirit Master cannot compare with Battle Spirit Master in terms of physical enhancement.
Therefore, using medication as an adjunct in this situation becomes a reasonable choice.
However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect hadn't paid attention to this aspect in the past, and now they couldn't find any suitable medicine for the time being.
Although the Speed and Defense Clans had experience in this area, it wasn't very suitable for Support System Spirit Master. At this time, Yang Wudi came into the view of Ning Fengzhi and the others.
Although Tang San can also make medicine, he is only one person and cannot supply the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's needs. He is definitely not comparable to a professional medicine-making clan like the Breaking Clan.
Moreover, Ning Fengzhi's purpose was not just in medicine. The medicine business was just a bridge to establish a connection between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Breaking Clan.
As for what happens next, we'll have to take it one step at a time.
In fact, this plan is exactly the same as the strategy used to deal with the Defense Clan, and it was naturally also devised by Chen Feng.
But the method doesn't have to be new or old, as long as it works.
