How could Yun Jushi be so kind?

Nine Cold Mountain.

One of the most famous landmarks in the Prison Mountain Realm.

In this world, the Nine Cold Mountain and the True Yang Mountain occupy almost half of the Prison Mountain Realm.

These two giant mountains, probably tens of thousands of meters Gao Shan, rise into the sky and stretch for thousands of miles. From almost any open spot in the Prison Mountain Realm, one can see them.

Standing not too far from Nine Cold Mountain, observing this colossal mountain, Lin Yu's understanding of its immense scale was further refreshed.

At the same time, Lin Yu also deeply understood...

For Mountaineer, this Prison Mountain Realm is absolutely paradise.

This might explain why, despite choosing this as her Anchor Point, the "Mountaineer" doesn't have many [Item] related to the Prison Mountain Realm.

Just as a "Fishing Man" would definitely find a plank to fish all day long in the Nether Void Realm, Miss respected "Mountaineer" would certainly not "waste time" researching how to "become stronger" when she comes to this Prison Mountain Realm.

Even so... it seems the "Mountaineer" hasn't actually climbed many peaks in the Prison Mountain Realm.

On the one hand, her love for mountaineering is the purest and most fundamental kind—using only the most basic protective measures and carrying simple equipment such as Rock Spike and ice axes, which can almost be called the purest form of free solo climbing.

During this process, the "Mountaineer" rarely uses any particularly exaggerated [Item] or Supernatural Power to assist herself. Apart from the passive physical enhancements she retains, the "Mountaineer" mostly climbs with the strength closest to that of a "human".

This method of mountain climbing... undoubtedly consumes a lot of time.

On the other hand... Mountaineer themselves do not climb mountains in order to "conquer" them.

She doesn't care how fast she climbs or what peaks she conquers—how many people have successfully summited them, how high the altitude is, how steep the slope is, or what level of difficulty is recognized in the industry... These are all unimportant to Mountaineer.

She enjoys the process of each climb itself—planning routes and allocating schedules from scratch, camping in the mountains, recording her feelings about the climb, and appreciating the mountain scenery.

Each time you climb a mountain, it usually takes at least a week, and sometimes even more than several months.

So...

The Mountaineer left behind relatively little information about the Prison Mountain Realm within the "Freedom Alliance".

However... everything she recorded was very detailed.

Lin Yu was currently using the [Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin] to browse through the notes uploaded by the "Mountaineer" in the "Freedom Alliance" Group Chat, which could be considered a preview.

Although Jian Cunyi veteran of the Prison Mountain Realm, was there and seemed relatively reliable, Lin Yu still planned to make his own preparations.

Jian Cunyi also took out an old-fashioned blue-covered thread-bound book and flipped through it, saying, "The Hunyuan Dao Palace is located near the Wind Prison. Although there is Formation protecting the Hunyuan Dao Palace's mountain gate, as we gradually move away from the mountain gate, the wind disasters of the Wind Prison will gradually become apparent."

Lin Yu nodded. "I felt it."

After all, since the beginning, the surrounding vegetation has gradually changed from lush forests to low shrubs and supple wild grasses.

Moreover... Lin Yu did indeed feel the wind whistling past him.

We haven't gone far from the Daoist Sect of the Hunyuan Dao Palace, and the wind speed is already probably around level seven or eight.

I have two 'Wind-Stabilizing Talisman' here, do you need them?

Jian Cunyi took out a Talismans from his pocket and waved it at Lin Yu.

At this moment, Jian Cunyi had put on his green robe again, had not made a mess of his hair or clothes in the fierce wind, obviously because he had some way of being unaffected by the wind.

But Lin Yu also has it.

He raised his wrist, smoothing his hair, which remained perfectly styled despite the fierce wind, and revealing the gleaming gray bracelet.

"What a coincidence, Brother Jian, I also have a way to avoid the wind."

As Lin Yu spoke, Jian Cunyi eyebrow. "I can see that... but the wind might be much stronger than this later."

"Are you sure... your methods will work? -- This looks like Witchcraft from the Black Marsh World."

At this point, Jian Cunyi moment. "Although I've never seen any 'wind control' Witchcraft in the Black Marsh World, this spiritual energy fluctuation does indeed seem very similar."

Lin Yu nodded. "Good eye, Brother Jian. It is indeed Witchcraft from the Black Marsh World —however, it is also something that was only recently created. It's perfectly normal that Brother Jian haven't heard of it."

Rather, it would be abnormal if Jian Cunyi had heard of Lu Gu's trump card.

After all, although the war in the Black Marsh World has already begun in full swing, Lu Gu's Wind Vein Technique has basically been exposed, Xia Jin's other two Great Shaman and the Demon Race of the Three Hills must all be aware of it now.

However, for most "Player," and even high-level "Player" like "Feng Shui Master," this may still be undisclosed information that has not been circulated.

Jian Cunyi also considered that this might be a trump card that Lin Yu obtained through special channels, so he was very mindful of boundaries and did not ask any further questions.

"Since you have such methods, I'm not worried anymore... In short, the closer we get to Nine Cold Mountain, the more disorderly and chaotic the winds of this Wind Prison will become. According to my calculations, we will probably arrive near Nine Cold Mountain around Nine Cold Mountain Ultimate Yang Mountains are sparsely populated and teeming with Yaomo, and at the very least, they are inhabited by Yaomo of the level of Ten Guan of cash or higher... The yin energy is heavy at Nine Cold Mountain has more nocturnal Yaomo than Zhiyang Mountain. If the 'Diviner' foresaw our arrival, he might have made arrangements and taken precautions. In that case, we will probably have to go through several fierce battles."

Jian Cunyi reminded him.

Lin Yu said, "It's alright. The two of us should be able to easily deal with some Yaomo worth Ten Guan of cash, and even Yaomo worth eleven or Twelve-Guans of cash shouldn't be too difficult."

As Lin Yu spoke, Jian Cunyi interjected, "Even Demon King and Demon Lord exceeding Twelve-Guans wouldn't be a problem, but... once we enter Nine Cold Mountain, we probably won't have much time or spare to rest. Being too exhausted before meeting the 'Diviner' is definitely not a good thing—we should try to avoid battle as much as possible and not fight against any particularly troublesome Yaomo."

Lin Yu had no objection to this, since there were plenty of opportunities to slay demons and obtain Inner Core without having to specifically look for them in advance.

So he raised a new question, "If that's the case, why don't we find a place to spend the night and wait until dawn before heading into the mountains?"

"This also weakens the night-roaming Yaomo."

As Lin Yu spoke, Jian Cunyi shook his head. "We're staying in villages and towns near Nine Cold Mountain... If the 'Diviner' find out and release Yaomo, wouldn't that bring unnecessary disaster to those villages and towns?"

"While those who can live near Nine Cold Mountain are certainly not ordinary people, and there must be experts guarding the area... the Yaomo that the 'Diviner' could use to 'entertain' me must be at least at the level of Twelve-Guans."

"I'm confident I can protect you from several Twelve-Guans Yaomo... but I might not be able to protect an entire village."

Jian Cunyi expressed his concerns.

Lin Yu said, "Then... why don't we just stay overnight near the villages and towns?"

As he spoke, Jian Cunyi frowned. "You mean camping in the wild...? What's the difference between that and going straight into the mountains?"

"I don't have any 'tents' or similar [Item]..."

Lin Yu replied, "I don't have that kind of [Item]... You misunderstood, I didn't mean for us to sleep on the streets."

"We can... stay at some Daoist Sect or Martial Arts School."

Jian Cunyi smiled wryly and said, "Brother Lin, you're being naive. Although many disciples from the Daoist Sect and Martial Arts School are active near the two mountains, training and exorcising demons, Nine Cold Mountain and Ultimate Yang Mountains are, after all, 'the territory of Yaomo.' Apart from the former Taiqing Sect of the Four Great Daoist Sects, almost no other Daoist Daoist Sect or Martial Arts School will establish themselves in this area. After all, Yaomo might tolerate the existence of mortal villages and towns, but if people who cultivate Daoism and martial arts live here for a long time, then... I'm afraid many powerful, solitary Great Demon will unite to eliminate them."

Lin Yu shook his head. "Brother Jian, I know that... but I'm not talking about staying at any existing Martial Arts School or Daoist temples."

As Lin Yu spoke, Jian Cunyi frowned. "Then what do you mean, Brother Lin?"

"Although I rarely come from the Prison Mountain Realm... as you know, I have received some of the inheritance from 'Layman Yun Fengyang'."

Lin Yu did not answer directly, but instead mentioned his identity as a successor of "Yun Jushi" again.

He paused for a moment before continuing.

"What Yun Jushi left behind is not just his skills, but also some... addresses."

Although Jian Cunyi had a vague idea of what was going on, he still couldn't help but ask curiously, "Address?"

Lin Yu nodded. "Yes... Address -- Before the Chaos of Huotian, Yun Jushi was a very well-connected figure in the Prison Mountain Realm, with connections to various Daoist Sect and Martial Arts School."

"Therefore, his legacy also mentions many locations of the Daoist Daoist Sect and Martial Arts School that he was on good terms with back then. He probably hoped that his Successor would be able to find these sects after arriving in the Prison Mountain Realm, and that these sects would offer some assistance out of respect for him—just like the help I received from the Hunyuan Dao Palace."

Lin Yu paused for a moment, then continued, "However... times have changed, and many of these sects may no longer exist, leaving only some dilapidated or Oblivion old gates."

Jian Cunyi's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Yu's words.

"So... we can stay at the ruins of those ancient sects that have been destroyed?"

"That's indeed a good idea... After all, those old sect sites might still have Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation. I can easily repair them and reactivate them, making them our temporary base."

"And... we might even be able to find the legacy left behind by those sects!"
