Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 79 Antarctica: A Land of Flesh and Blood

After careful consideration, Xie Shen decided to go to the ice cave in Antarctica to find the water spiritual energy needed to break through the Jindan stage.

To meet unexpected needs.

Before setting off, he specially used the Qingyang Strange Fire to refine two furnaces of pills.

The first furnace is the "Resurrection Pill".

After taking it, one can quickly heal one's injuries. Due to its strong medicinal properties, this pill can only be used by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage or above.

The second furnace is the "Fulingdan".

This pill can also only be taken by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, and it can quickly replenish spiritual power.

Afterwards, Xie Shen spent another whole day adjusting his state.

Until noon the next day.

Qingyang Sect elder Ran Zhuyu brought a piece of news to Xie Shen: after obtaining the foundation-building pill, a total of seven late-stage Qi training cultivators, including Bu Tianran, Qian Ming and Yang Si, have all taken the pill and started to retreat to try to break through the bottleneck of the late Qi training stage.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

In the secret room.

Xie Shenchong told Elder Ran Zhuyu, "That's great. I'm planning to go to Antarctica later."

"Before you leave, please give a few words to those seven people."

"Please speak, ancestor." Ran Zhuyu responded.

Xie Shen said slowly: "The path of cultivation is full of difficulties."

"After Qi training cultivators take the foundation-building pill, perhaps only one out of every ten people can break through."

"So, remember to tell those seven people not to have too high expectations."

"The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment."

“If I fail to control my emotions and my mind becomes unstable, then there may be no hope of a breakthrough in the future.”

Tao heart?
Ran Zhuyu's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

After being stunned for a long time, he bowed to Xie Shen and said, "Thank you for your advice. Thank you for your advice."

"I have written down everything the ancestor said."

"I promise to pass on the message."

"Yeah." Xie Shen nodded, and then asked curiously: "Speaking of which, as soon as the others got the foundation-building pill, they all tried to break through. Aren't you in a hurry?"

"Hey"

Ran Zhuyu smiled and said, "I think it's useless to rush into this matter."

“So I thought, let’s see if others can break through first.”

“If there is success, maybe we can learn some experience.”

"Then I'll come back when I'm sure of myself."

Ran Zhuyu's cautious approach has no disadvantages, but it cannot be said to be very good.

After all, practitioners only have time to spare.

If you take one step slowly, all steps will be slow.

By the time you realize you are lagging behind others and want to catch up, it may be too late.

So after learning about Ran Zhuyu's thoughts, Xie Shen just smiled and did not comment too much.

...

That night.

Xie Shen and the man in a suit, Chao Jing, boarded an A10 spacecraft and headed for Antarctica from north to south.

Unlike 21st century aircraft.

For a spacecraft to fly, it must first rise to a high altitude until it leaves the atmosphere.

Once entering low-Earth orbit, the spacecraft, no longer restricted by the atmosphere, can reach speeds 30-40 times that of traditional aircraft.

Therefore, it took Xie Shen and the man in the suit less than 2 hours to reach Antarctica from the East Asian continent.

It is the cold season in Antarctica at this time.

under the night sky.

The unique Antarctic aurora during the polar night covers the entire night sky with a curtain of light, which makes people feel inexplicably lonely and despair.

Inside the spacecraft cockpit.

The man in the suit was wearing a pressure suit and said to Xie Shen through the headset inside: "What a pity, in the cold season, penguins usually only move around in the coastal areas of Antarctica. It's too cold inland so we probably won't be able to see them."

After making a complaint.

He turned to Xie Shen and said, "The oxygen stored in my pressure suit is limited. Once it runs out, I have to return to the spaceship to refill it."

“It’s so inconvenient for me to move.”

"So, I won't accompany you to the ice cave."

"I'll stay inside the spaceship and pick you up."

"It's up to you." Xie Shen responded and took out a palm-sized compass from the backpack behind him.

There is a Yin-Yang Tai Chi fish pattern painted in the center of the compass, and the ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches are marked around it, making it look quite realistic.

But the only thing missing is the pointer.

The man in the suit saw it and asked curiously, "What do you use this compass for?"

Xie Shen explained: "The richer the spiritual energy is, the greater the possibility of the birth of water spirit energy."

"So before coming here, I specially refined this compass to find a place with abundant spiritual energy."

"This way, when you look for it later, you'll be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

"Interesting." The man in the suit stared at the compass for a moment.

He asked curiously, "By the way, why doesn't your compass have a needle? Is it not installed yet?"

"You could say that."

Xie Shen replied with a smile.

Then, in front of the man in the suit, he waved his hand and sent a stream of spiritual power towards the compass.

As soon as the spiritual power touched the compass, it immediately turned into a light blue needle, and after rotating several circles, it pointed to the northwest.

"Have it!"

Seeing this, Xie Shenxi said happily: "The needle on my compass will show different colors according to the concentration of spiritual power." "The needle color has a total of seven levels, from low to high: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple."

"Sure!" Hearing this, the man in the suit looked at the needle on the compass and said, "Your needle is light blue."

"This shows that the concentration of spiritual energy in front is quite high."

"I guess I understood it correctly?"

"Correct answer!" Xie Shen, holding a compass, walked out of the spaceship cockpit on his own.

As he walked away, he used the combat power detector to tell the man in the suit, "I'm leaving now. If anything happens, remember to notify me immediately."

"I know." The man in the suit responded quickly.

Following the direction indicated by the compass, Xie Shen walked in the snow.

In just a short while, he discovered an ice cave nearly three people tall not far ahead.

Xie Shen was delighted when he felt the extremely rich spiritual power overflowing from the ice cave from time to time.

——This kind of dangerous situation is most likely to give birth to water spirit energy.

Xie Shen put the searchlight on his head, and then carefully went deep into the room to explore.

This ice cave is not very deep.

It took Xie Shen less than 20 minutes to carefully explore the interior of the ice cave.

But unfortunately, he did not detect any water spirit from it.

Xie Shen was not discouraged.

After returning empty-handed, he continued to explore the next ice cave.
...

time flies.

Before he knew it, Xie Shen had been exploring the Antarctic continent for a whole month, but still found nothing.

at the same time.

It was freezing cold.

Due to poor health, the man in the suit was forced to return to the Qingyang Sect base by spaceship three days ago.

After the man in the suit fell ill, Li Xiu arranged for Zhuge Fu to take over his job and be responsible for the logistics of Xie Shen's exploration in Antarctica.

And then.

Something happened to Zhuge Fu.
"Brother Shen, can you hear me?"

Inside an underground ice cave.

Xie Shen was stunned when he heard Zhuge Fu suddenly change the way he addressed him from "Xie Shen" to "Brother Shen".

He asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with you?"

"I'll go, I finally got in touch."

After hearing Xie Shen's response, Zhuge Fu seemed relieved and said, "I encountered a geomagnetic storm, and the spacecraft made an emergency landing."

“And I don’t know why.”

"This place where I landed doesn't look like Antarctica at all."

“This place is weird!”

"Strange?" Xie Shen asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Zhuge Fu said: "I can't see any snow around me, and the ground is all red, just like living meat."

Red, flesh-like ground?

Hearing this, Xie Shen immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

The first person he thought of was Li Xiu: "Have you contacted the people at the base? What did Li Xiu say?"

"I can't get in touch with you, brother!"

Zhuge Fu's tone was a little flustered, and he said, "Didn't I just tell you? I encountered a geomagnetic storm."

"You are in Antarctica, so I can contact you."

"Any further away, I won't be able to get any signal."

Zhuge Fu is as talkative as his brain.

Even though he was in danger, he still kept talking to Xie Shen: "Actually, I'm not afraid of death. After all, I can't be resurrected and sent to the Tower Prison."

“But the key is.”

Zhuge Fu cried, "Once I die, this spaceship will definitely be lost in this damn place, and we will never find it again."

"I can destroy an entire spaceship when I go out."

"If Li Xiu knew about this, he would definitely skin me alive!"

"Okay, okay, stop talking for now." Xie Shen interrupted Zhuge Fu's chattering.

He said calmly, "I'll hang up first, and then I'll transfer the call to Li Xiu to see if he can think of a solution."

"Okay." Zhuge Fu did not forget to remind him, "Brother Shen, remember to say a few good words for me."

"You really can't blame me for this accident."

"I don't know what happened. The spaceship was flying and suddenly made an emergency landing here for no apparent reason."

"Brother Shen, you."

Xie Shen didn't want to listen to Zhuge Fu's nagging any more, so he took the initiative to cut off the communication.

He transferred to the Qingyang Sect base and briefly explained to Li Xiu the current predicament Zhuge Fu was facing.

"Red, flesh-like ground?" After hearing Xie Shen's description, Li Xiu's voice immediately rose a few degrees.

Obviously, he showed great interest in Zhuge Fu's experience.

But since Li Xiu does not possess the trait of "emotion", his tone of voice remained calm from beginning to end.

He said calmly, "You continue to keep in touch with Zhuge Fu and keep track of his movements. I will drive the spaceship over there now!"

on the snow.

After reporting the situation to Li Xiu, Xie Shen decisively summoned the flying sword magic weapon in the Purple Mansion.

He flew high into the sky on his sword and looked down at the ground below:
But as far as the eye can see, there are snow-covered plateaus and rolling mountains.

There was no "red, flesh-like ground" as Zhuge Fu mentioned.
