Chapter 22: Deep into the Arctic Snowfield, the second stage is unlocked! Wearing a snow-white mink cloak as camouflage, Huo Yuhao quickly fled to the north. With the remains of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm isolating him from the low temperature, the biting cold wind from the outside world could no longer pose a threat to Huo Yuhao, but the frozen soil of the Far North and the cracks hidden under the ice still slowed down his progress. At this time, the benefits of mental detection become apparent. As long as he keeps mental detection turned on, everything within a radius of 50 meters is under Huo Yuhao's control, which can help him effectively avoid danger and avoid dangerous terrain. Since entering the Far North, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm has not slept again. It released a spiritual force that surrounded Huo Yuhao, detecting places that Huo Yuhao could not perceive, and constantly guiding Huo Yuhao to change the direction of his advance and avoid possible dangers. In the blink of an eye, another two days passed and Huo Yuhao had completely penetrated into the uninhabited far north. On the way, he also saw some soul beasts, but under the guidance of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, he never encountered any existence that posed a threat to him. The snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker. When it was above his knees, Huo Yuhao had to take out the wooden boards he had prepared in advance and tie them around his feet so that they could bear the force better and make walking easier. When encountering a downhill slope, you can even slide for a while to increase your travel efficiency.
Another four days passed, and Huo Yuhao's speed slowed down a lot. At this time, he had already gone deep into the core area of the Far North, and even the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm became more and more cautious. On this day, Huo Yuhao was still traveling carefully. Suddenly, the voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm heaving a sigh of relief came from his mind. "Yuhao, walk a few dozen kilometers further and you can stop to eat and rest. You can also drink some of your wine to warm up your body." Although Tianmeng Bingcan did not know the existence of the Drunken Sword Immortal system, he knew that Huo Yuhao was "addicted to alcohol." Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment. Ever since he finished drinking those four jars of top-grade Flying Spear Platform, Huo Yuhao drank less in order to hurry on his way. Because he didn't know when the soul guide of the Sun-Moon Empire who captured the Snow Empress in the original novel ran to the Far North. If he happened to go to the Far North during this period, and he was delayed because of drinking and resting on the way, and he was beaten to it by him, Huo Yuhao felt that he would cry to death! Moreover, because the reward for mid-grade liquor was cut in half, after experiencing the thrill of rapid upgrades, Huo Yuhao began to look down on the reward for mid-grade liquor, and it didn’t matter if he drank less for a few days. When I get back, I'll find a way to get more high-quality liquor, so that I can upgrade quickly, right? Moreover, after entering the Far North, in order to ensure that he was in good condition, he did not drink any more alcohol. Although thanks to the Drunken Sword Immortal system, he no longer gets drunk. But the impact of alcohol on the body is still there. In a dangerous place like the Far North, Huo Yuhao dare not be careless and play with his own life. Before, Tianmeng Bingcan had specifically reminded him that in dangerous places like the Far North Snowfield, he must always keep a clear head and not drink alcohol. Now that we are in the core area, why does it say that we can drink alcohol? Huo Yuhao immediately raised his question. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled: "The area outside is indeed dangerous, but now we have reached the core of the Far North Snowfield. Compared with the core area outside, this place is much safer." Huo Yuhao's heart moved, and he seemed to have guessed: "Could it be that we have already..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded and said, "That's right! This is already the territory of the Snow Queen. The soul beasts in the Far North generally don't dare to step into here casually." As expected! Even the Ice Emperor didn't know that the Snow Emperor had reincarnated into a human, let alone other ice-attributed soul beasts.
In their opinion, the "homebody" Xuedi who doesn't like to go out will stay in her own territory most of the time, so they naturally dare not come in. Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, Xue Di is now in the process of transforming into an embryo and cannot control the changes in the external environment in real time. Otherwise, the ninth-level soul engineer in the original novel would not have been able to catch her. In other words, the current territory of the Snow Emperor is probably the safest place in the entire Far North Snowfield! Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao relaxed a little. I am no longer so cautious in my actions and I have quickened my pace. After advancing about another fifty kilometers, Huo Yuhao stopped to take a good rest. After digging out an ice house from the thick snow, Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He asked the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to pay attention to the movements outside, took out food and wine, and prepared a good meal. He hasn't even had a proper meal since entering the Far North. This time, Huo Yuhao even used the soul guide stove to cook a big pot of hot soup and enjoyed it to his heart's content. "Tons, tons, tons——" After finishing the entire jar of wine, Huo Yuhao sighed comfortably. “It’s been a long time since I had such a good drink!” [Ding Dong! Drink half a catty of medium-quality liquor, gain 10% soul power, and gain 20 points of drunkenness.] [Ding Dong! It has been detected that the host's cultivation has reached the second stage. The soul power reward has been reduced. The low-grade wine has been reduced to 1%, the medium-grade wine has been reduced to 1/10, and the high-grade wine has been reduced to 1/2. The alcohol point reward remains unchanged.] [Ding Dong! It has been detected that the host's cultivation has reached the second stage, and the wine shop has been upgraded to level three! ] A series of system prompts suddenly rang in his mind, and Huo Yuhao was stunned. Has your cultivation reached the second stage? Ever since he finished drinking the Feitian Moutai, he has been busy traveling, so he drank less. Although he does not have a second martial soul yet, according to the reward value of the Flying Spear Platform, his soul power should have reached level 36 at that time. In the following days, he drank less alcohol, and the reward for mid-grade liquor was cut in half. A rough estimate shows that the soul power he accumulated in the past few days was at most level three or four. In other words, the so-called second stage of the system refers to level 40? A light flashed in Huo Yuhao’s eyes. From this information, he immediately came to a conclusion: the so-called stages of the system are divided into every twenty levels of soul power! If so, the next third stage is level 60? Huo Yuhao took a breath of cold air. Damn it! If we look at the extent of this reduction in rewards, the soul power reward for the second-stage top-grade liquor has been cut in half, and the mid-grade liquor has been reduced to one-tenth. Then in the third stage, wouldn't the soul power reward for top-grade wine become one-tenth, and for mid-grade wine become one-hundredth? Depend on! This is really a pay-to-win system!
