Chapter 775 Eternal Night and Eternal Day
In the snowy plains of eternal night, darkness is not scary, and neither is cold.
What is scary is loneliness.
Du Bishu stumbled forward alone, exploring.
Under the 'occasional' guidance of the Aurora, he entered the fantasy world countless times, and returned disappointed countless times.
However, he resolutely embarked on the journey again!
This determination to never give up until he hits a wall does not show how strong his willpower is.
Instead, he wanted to prove that his fate was definitely not possessed by the god of bad luck and that he would never lose every time he gambled!
Since he said that he could find his own refining materials in this desolate snowfield, he would definitely find it!
Compared to Du Bishu's determination to find refining materials in the snowfield, Tian Ling'er is much more casual about her own space magic weapon.
Every time I see Su Mingzhe looking tired, he sits cross-legged in meditation, regulates his breathing, and restores his energy.
Tian Ling'er couldn't help but advise him to rest for a while and not to rush for magic weapons.
It doesn’t matter if the magic weapon space is a little small.
Facing the concern of his junior sister, Su Mingzhe naturally smiled freely:
"Little Junior Sister, don't worry, I know what's going on! You should also hurry up and practice, and don't let Sixth Senior Brother break through to the fifth level of Jade Purity Realm first!"
After hearing what Su Mingzhe said, Tian Ling'er was not at ease, but continued to worry:
"Brother, we have collected a lot of Aurora Star Sand. How about we go find our Sixth Brother and leave the snowfield quickly? It's always dark here, it's scary!"
"Where are you going!"
Su Mingzhe handed the wooden box containing the Aurora Star Sand to Tian Ling'er and asked her to check it.
There is only a shallow layer of aurora star sand in the box, only about ten pounds at most.
"This amount of star sand must be enough!"
Tian Ling'er looked at the colorful star sand in the box, and first cried out in surprise, and then said coquettishly:
"Brother, let's go find Brother Six as soon as possible, okay? He's alone in the snowfield, I'm afraid he might be in danger."
She wanted Su Mingzhe to take her to find Du Bishu, not because she was really afraid that Du Bishu would be in danger, but because she felt a little guilty about how hard Su Mingzhe worked to collect materials for her.
Before leaving Dazhu Peak, Tian Buyi and his wife taught their daughter that when she was away from home, she should not cause trouble for her two senior brothers.
Now, just because she wanted a "space magic weapon", Su Mingzhe went to great lengths to collect star sand, even to the point of exhaustion.
This couldn't help but make Tian Ling'er's young heart feel inexplicably moved.
"Little Junior Sister, don't worry, I have been keeping an eye on Senior Brother Six. Although he has a little trouble, it is still under control. More importantly, Senior Brother Six's refining materials have not been found yet!"
Although Su Mingzhe was with Tian Ling'er, he did not forget to pay attention to Du Bishu's safety.
After Du Bishu entered the aurora illusion, he was sometimes crazy and sometimes desperate. It was Su Mingzhe himself who rescued him.
In this cruel environment, Du Bishu's spirit grew rapidly.
In just one month, he showed signs of surpassing Tian Ling'er and taking the lead in breaking through to the fifth level of Yuqing Realm.
When Tian Ling'er heard that Su Mingzhe had been paying attention to Du Bishu, her heart suddenly warmed:
This seventh senior brother is so kind. Not only does he help me collect aurora star sand, he also cares about the safety of the sixth senior brother.
As for me, I didn't help at all along the way and even caused trouble for Senior Brother Seven.
However, Tian Ling'er was only touched for a moment. After being touched, she inevitably had some doubts in her heart:
"Seventh Senior Brother, you said you have been keeping an eye on Sixth Senior Brother. Isn't he close to us?"
"It's not far indeed. Why? Do you want to go see him?"
Su Mingzhe opened his eyes and raised his head to look at this little junior sister.
This girl has been talking more and more recently.
After thinking about it, Su Mingzhe guessed: Maybe it was because the junior sister stayed in a place like the snowfield for too long that she gradually became a chatterbox.
"Ok!"
Tian Ling'er nodded vigorously at first, and then asked cautiously:
"Brother, can I go visit Sixth Brother?"
“Go if you want to!”
Seeing that Tian Ling'er was bored, Su Mingzhe decided to take her out for some exercise.
With a wave of his hand, a meteor cone appeared.
"Come up and close your eyes. This is the Far North. It's very dangerous up there."
Su Mingzhe waited for his junior sister to jump onto his meteor cone, then he held her in his arms and wrapped her in his cloak.
Now Du Bishu is only more than two thousand miles away from Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe took Tian Ling'er and flew over there, and they arrived in three to five minutes at most.
However, in this case, Su Mingzhe's flying speed was too fast, which could easily arouse Tian Ling'er's suspicion.
Therefore, Su Mingzhe needed to wrap Tian Ling'er with a cloak to block her vision and prevent her from noticing his flying speed.
After the spring came, Tian Ling'er was twelve years old, a young girl in her prime.
Now she was held tightly in Su Mingzhe's arms, and he held her so tightly that every breath Tian Ling'er took was filled with the scent of Su Mingzhe.
For a moment, she forgot about the strong wind and blizzard in the sky, and her mind was filled with the handsome figure of her seventh senior brother.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Mingzhe and Tian Ling'er landed on a vast snowy plain.
At this moment, Tian Ling'er's whole body was stiff, her face was red, and she didn't dare to look up at her seventh senior brother.
After a long while, Su Mingzhe held her hand and came to a valley. He pointed to a moving black dot in the distance and asked her to look carefully:
"That's Sixth Brother!"
In the snowy fields of eternal night, if there were no aurora, ordinary people would not be able to see anything more than ten meters away.
As a little genius at the fourth level of Yuqing Realm, Tian Linger has better eyesight, but she can only see a hundred meters away.
"It's really Sixth Brother!"
Tian Ling'er saw Du Bishu moving in the snowstorm in the distance.
Unfortunately, Du Bishu is not in a very good condition at the moment.
Du Bishu's triangular face was now half covered by thick stubble. His originally fair face was now covered with frostbite and had scars cut by the wind.
After Su Mingzhe and Tian Ling'er confirmed that Du Bishu was not in danger of death, they picked her up again and flew back the way they came:
"Junior Sister, Sixth Senior Brother is at a critical moment right now, we can't disturb him!"
"Brother, what critical moment is Sixth Brother right now?"
Tian Ling'er is kind-hearted and felt heartbroken when she saw Du Bishu's miserable appearance.
She was a little confused as to why the Seventh Senior Brother didn't let her go and meet the Sixth Senior Brother and show some concern for him.
"Sixth Senior Brother often says things like 'small gambling is good for the heart, big gambling is harmful to the body', and he also says that he will never indulge in gambling. But in fact, his character is extremely bad, and he can't control himself at all, to the point where it is endangering his cultivation."
Su Mingzhe said here in a serious tone:
"As the saying goes: 'No madness, no life'. I think that if we want to save our Sixth Senior Brother, we have to teach him a profound lesson!"
Tian Ling'er didn't quite agree with what Senior Brother Seven said, but she didn't dare to refute him either. She could only mutter in a low voice:
"Isn't this lesson too great a lesson?"
"Junior sister, this is called the 'price of growing up'."
Su Mingzhe first told his good intentions to the junior sister in a serious tone, and then said with a smile:
"As long as Sixth Senior Brother can get through this hardship on his own, his future cultivation will be smooth sailing, and reaching the Upper Pure Realm is just around the corner!"
"Blow it!"
Tian Ling'er didn't believe Su Mingzhe's words at all.
You should know that there are more than a thousand disciples in Qingyun Sect, but there are only more than twenty masters in the Shangqing Realm.
Why can Seventh Senior Brother conclude that Sixth Senior Brother can become a master of the Shangqing Realm?
Afterwards, Su Mingzhe brought Tian Ling'er back to the ice house and continued their "little life".
And so it goes, day after day.
The aurora star sand in the box accumulated little by little and slowly filled up the box.
Tian Ling'er and Du Bishu also successfully broke through to the fifth level of Yuqing Realm.
After enduring one blow after another, Du Bishu finally calmed down and stopped wandering around, pinning his hopes on "illusory" luck for finding materials for refining equipment. Instead, he began to dig the frozen soil under the snow.
Then in that small piece of land, I kept digging and digging.
This digging went from eternal night to eternal day.
Winter goes and spring comes, another year has passed!
When eternal day comes, the auroras start to become scarce and their locations become even more uncertain.
Su Mingzhe checked the Aurora Star Sand he had collected, and found that there was quite a bit of it, so he could start refining a space storage magic weapon.
"Brother, the sun is so strange, it rises and falls, but it never sets!"
Tian Ling'er had seen Eternal Night for the first time before, and she was particularly excited when she saw the Aurora.
Now we saw the eternal day again, and the sun was circling along the horizon.
The methods of distinguishing between south up and north down, west left and east right were completely useless at this moment.
"In the polar regions, there is either eternal night or eternal day! During the eternal night, the earth is completely dark, and during the eternal day, the sun never sets!"
Su Mingzhe had already told Tian Ling'er about these knowledge points.
But knowledge is just knowledge.
Those who have never seen eternal daylight will never be able to imagine the magnificent and strange sight of the sun running along the horizon and never setting.
Seeing that the aurora had disappeared, Su Mingzhe could only run back and forth three times with his junior sister, watching the sun.
Three days later, Su Mingzhe gave the refined space magic weapon, the Star Soul Bracelet, to his junior sister.
It was the first time that Tian Ling'er used a space magic weapon. After a little practice, she put things on her body into it and took them out, having a lot of fun.
After a long time, Tian Ling'er seemed to have returned to her previous lively and lovely girl, and smiled at Su Mingzhe and said:
"Brother, now that the bracelet is ready, should we go see our Sixth Brother?"
"Then let's go take another look!"
During this period, Su Mingzhe and Tian Ling'er went to see Du Bishu several times.
Du Bishu focused on his work with a determined look and a steady demeanor.
While Su Mingzhe was working hard to collect the aurora star sand, Du Bishu also relied on his own hands to dig out a "mine pit" with a diameter of three meters and a depth of more than thirty meters under the frozen soil!
If Du Bishu had had this perseverance earlier, he would have refined his magic weapon long ago!
