Dandy Pill God-Chapter 670: The Frozen Forest

"Not... not sure you’ll come back alive?"

Dong Miaoxuan’s heart trembled inexplicably when she heard Liu Yan say this. But as she listened to what Liu Yan said next, her eyes couldn’t help but become somewhat vacant.

Yes, living in this cruel world, if one wants to continue struggling to survive, then some necessary risks are definitely unavoidable.

But Dong Miaoxuan also knew that, with Liu Yan’s Fourth Level of Foundation Establishment cultivation, the Trial Land she was heading to was absolutely beyond her reach.

So, where would her own future path lead?

In that moment, Dong Miaoxuan thought of many things, even that figure whose memory she had sealed away, the one she could never forget, quietly fluttered through her heart.

Dong Miaoxuan laughed at herself, finding it somewhat ironic.

What was wrong with her? Why was she thinking of him at a time like this?

Knowing the situation she was in, she’d probably never be able to see him again in this lifetime. Instead of dwelling on such unrealistic thoughts, it was better to bury those beautiful memories deep in her heart.

Perhaps, one day in the future, when she faced danger again and was on the verge of death, she could draw on these memories to face the verdict of fate with composure.

Seeing Dong Miaoxuan giving no response after hearing her own words, Liu Yan thought she really didn’t know what to do in the future.

She sighed lightly, then smiled and comforted her, saying,

"Miaoxuan, if you really have no plans or arrangements for what’s next, then why don’t you come with me for the time being?

I am going to Qingshui City in Yong State, where I have a few trustworthy friends who happen to run a small tavern. If you don’t mind, I can recommend you to stay there for now. What do you think?"

"Ah!"

Startled by Liu Yan’s words, Dong Miaoxuan finally snapped out of her daze.

Her pretty face blushed slightly, somewhat embarrassed, yet she was also a bit tempted by Liu Yan’s current suggestion.

Regardless, being able to stabilize her situation temporarily was, from any perspective, the most suitable arrangement for her at the moment.

With this thought, Dong Miaoxuan no longer hesitated. After nodding gratefully to Liu Yan, she answered,

"If that’s the case, then I’ll have to trouble you, Sister Liu Yan, thank you."

Liu Yan smiled warmly, shaking her head gently at Dong Miaoxuan.

"Miaoxuan, we have known each other for quite some time now. Since we are friends, sisters, there’s no need for you to be formal with me."

Saying this, Liu Yan looked at the sky and continued to speak to Dong Miaoxuan with a smile, "Alright, it’s getting late. If you have nothing else to do, let’s go now."

"Okay."

Dong Miaoxuan nodded. She then moved to the side, took out a coarse garment from her storage bag to change into, and disguised her features once more before leaving the place with Liu Yan.

...

The Ice-Sealed Forest, one of the most dangerous areas in Yong State.

"It’s said that only cultivators with profound cultivation and the caliber of the most exceptional geniuses dare to enter this Icebound Forest."

"Though perilous, filled with countless lethal traps, the Icebound Forest also offers incredibly vast opportunities."

"Not to mention, the Level 9 Spirit Grass, Ice Dream Orchid Butterfly, is a precious treasure coveted by all Great Sects and cultivators from various paths."

"And this kind of Spiritual Medicine can only be found in the Icebound Forest."

"Since separating from Ji Xuanyue a month ago, Zhu Fei had continuously been seeking clues to various cultivation resources."

"Now, having enquired through various means, he finally learned of the impending opening of the Icebound Forest."

"Despite being clear on the dangers that lay ahead in places known for their perils, Zhu Fei found himself with scarce cultivation resources. If he didn’t seek out a Secret Realm or dangerous lands for cultivation resources, his future cultivation would undoubtedly become exceptionally difficult."

"Therefore, even with the understanding of the potential dangers inside, Zhu Fei still arrived at the outskirts of the Icebound Forest today, ready to take his chances once it truly opened."

"At this moment, the outskirts of the Icebound Forest were already teeming with no fewer than a thousand people."

"Zhu Fei noticed that those arriving at the outskirts, intending to enter the Icebound Forest, possessed at least the Returning to Void Realm in their cultivation."

"The aura fluctuations from each person were extremely powerful, and Zhu Fei even spotted cultivators at the Early Tribulation from a distance in this place!"

"This realization struck Zhu Fei with the understanding that the Icebound Forest was not a place just anyone could tread lightly upon."

"One misstep, and all the hardships endured thus far could very likely turn into a bridal gown for someone else."

"Excuse me, friend, do you also plan to enter the Icebound Forest in a bit?" asked a burly, red-haired man who suddenly approached Zhu Fei and asked with a fist salute.

"Beside the red-haired man were three others, one man and two women, who were sizing up Zhu Fei with evaluative eyes."

"Zhu Fei’s brows furrowed on the spot, feeling somewhat displeased by the gazes of the three aside from the red-haired man, but he didn’t ignore them and instead nodded directly."

"Seeing Zhu Fei nod, the red-haired man smiled faintly and said,"

"Hello there, friend, my name is Qi Xuankai, and these three are Meng Chengfeng, Li Zhen, and Guo Weiwei. We are planning to form a team to enter the Icebound Forest. What might your name be, and would you be interested in joining us?"

"Pausing briefly, Qi Xuankai didn’t wait for Zhu Fei’s response and continued,"

"You don’t need to hurry to refuse. After all, we are all cultivators at the Returning to Void Stage, not on the same level as those Harmonization and Tribulation mighty ones. The reason I approached you is to have another hand, another strength. So if we encounter any troubles, we can look out for each other."

"It was audible that the red-haired man named Qi Xuankai spoke sincerely."

"However, for the three temporary companions he had found, Zhu Fei didn’t quite like the vibe."

"Especially Meng Chengfeng, who perhaps thought his strength at the Perfect Returning to Void matched Qi Xuankai’s, revealed an involuntary hint of contempt in his eyes when looking at Zhu Fei."

"Yet having seen many like Meng Chengfeng before, Zhu Fei knew that as long as the man didn’t bother him, there was no need to lower himself to the same level."

"After thinking it over briefly, Zhu Fei finally turned to Qi Xuankai and asked,"

"Brother Qi, since it’s about forming a team, I’d like to ask, how would we distribute any treasures we might find along the way?"
