The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine-Chapter 797 - : Arrived!
Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Arrived!
The large team, laden with supplies, began their official march towards Mount Kunlun!
The Ying Family had chartered several passenger planes. After the planes landed, hundreds of prepared off-road vehicles were ready.
The landscape along the way became more and more desolate. The modernity of the city was long gone, replaced by an original, primitive appearance sequestered from the world.
As Huang Xiaolong saw the barren wasteland stretching flat across the horizon and the desolation devoid of any vegetation, the sandy sky whirling, and the altitude constantly rising from the car window, his enthusiasm deepened. Turning to Ma Chuxia and Ying Aoshan who were in the car, he smiled and asked, “Have you been here before?”
His wives all shook their heads.
“By the way, Little Long, I always feel that this Long Ascend Martial Arts Conference, held jointly by the Ten Ancient Martial Families of Huaxia, is rather special… Perhaps it’s because the event takes place in the Kunlun Mountains…,” Ma Chuxia frowned slightly. “In any case, we need to be extra careful.”
Huang Xiaolong just laughed it off. “Don’t worry, I’m here. Everything will be fine.”

“Little Long, grandfather and some elders in the family have been to the vicinity of that secret realm for geographical survey. After entering the mouth of Mount Kunlun, it takes just a few days to reach the venue of the Long Ascend Martial Arts Conference,” Ying Aoshan grinned.
Turns out, the Ying family had already scouted the place in advance to avoid blindly entering the endless mountain range of Mount Kunlun.
Finally! The large group arrived near the mouth of Mount Kunlun!
After getting off the vehicles and looking up at the range of Mount Kunlun, everyone felt deeply how minuscule they really were.
The towering peaks and ravines of Mount Kunlun resembled numerous horses draped in silver-gray armor that surged forward with the wind and clouds.
The entrance to Mount Kunlun had towering topography, cold and damp climate, thin air, unique ecological environment, and spectacular natural scenery.
Mountains were continuous, snow-capped peaks were abrupt, and the grasslands were vast.
The large permafrost layer at the mouth of Mount Kunlun, while wouldn’t melt throughout the year, had green pastures growing on the surface. During the midsummer season, a variety of vibrant wildflowers bloomed on the grassland, making for a beautiful sight.
“Ahh~~ Good son-in-law, this is one of the most mysterious places in the world… Cut off from the world, it combines various mysterious elements. Hahaha~~~ So many secrets are waiting to be unraveled by explorers and archaeologists. However, this time, our martial world is about to explore a great secret territory!” Ying Xiao walked up to Huang Xiaolong, looking quite emotional.
At this point, the people of the Ying family were all aglow, all seeming raring to go.
Although for ordinary people, this kind of severe cold might be unbearable, and just the altitude sickness alone could knock down most of the tourists and explorers, everyone present was a martial arts grandmaster. Even those who had not reached the grandmaster realm like Jin Mengqi and Sun Wei had an incredibly strong Qi for body protection.
Therefore, no one had altitude sickness, nor fear of the cold, but were rather full of enthusiasm.
The campsite was a picturesque location with many lakes, large and small, scattered all over the area. Thousands of them. Ying Xiao directed the clan members to set up tents here.
Everyone planned to rest here for a night and enter the mouth of Mount Kunlun early tomorrow morning.
Everyone then began doing their own things.
Many people took out dried food and alcohol to eat, while others set up a stove to cook noodles and rice.
But in such a high altitude, even water couldn’t boil, let alone cooking. This made many of the Ying family members laugh and curse.
But these difficulties couldn’t stop Huang Xiaolong. He took out a few charms, turned them into a daoist fire, and easily boiled the water with it.
His wives clapped and cheered, happily cooking noodles with the boiling water.
On the other side, Ying Qingfeng and his son Ying Chong, eating half-cooked noodles, watched Huang Xiaolong with cold eyes.
“This kid really knows his stuff…” Ying Chong marveled. “Using talismans to boil water…he can even manage that on the plateau…”
Seeing many members of the Ying Family asking Huang Xiaolong for talismans, Ying Chong blurted out. “Qingfeng, let’s go and ask for a few ourselves.”
“No need!” Ying Qingfeng angrily put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands. “I’ve had enough.”
The night passed uneventfully.
Early the next day, the large troop started to move into the mouth of Kunlun Mountain.
The valley was precarious with accumulated ice and snow, and jagged rocks. It was difficult for even horses to traverse, let alone carts, so everyone proceeded on foot.
The sunlight on the plateau was slightly dizzying, the sky was so blue it seemed like it could drip water.
The Kunlun Mountain range extended into the sky, with ranges of crystal-clear snow peaks like rows of gigantic jade pillars reaching into the clouds, poking out a little, and providing an awe-inspiring sight.
When walking under the glacier, Ying Xiao warned in a low voice. “Speak quietly, or we might cause an avalanche and end up buried alive here!”
Everyone was apprehensive.
Indeed, even if all of them were ancient martial grandmasters with formidable abilities, upon truly entering the formidable Kunlun Mountain range, one couldn’t help but feel fear in the face of the grandeur of nature.
“I can’t understand why this year’s Rising Dragon Martial Arts Competition is being held in such a place. I bet there are many places in the Kunlun Mountain range that would leave even ghosts feeling troubled!” Some of the Ying Family members couldn’t help but complain.
The members of the Ying Family had previously scouted the route to the place where the martial arts competition was to be held, hence their journey was without much danger.
The place where they set up camp at night was a veritable paradise.
There, the terrain was flat with geothermal steam puffing out between rocks, forming colorful flowers of splashing hot water under the moonlight – an absolutely beautiful sight.
It was a natural hot spring!
The surrounding area was as warm as spring.
There was a cheer from the crowd. Some people set up tents while others placed pieces of dried meat on the rocks. The meat was quickly turned into delicious boiled meat by the piping hot spring water.
Huang Xiaolong found a secluded spot nearby with his wives and spent some time soaking in the hot spring, completely sweeping away their fatigue from the past few days.
And so, after several days, a unique snow peak finally appeared in everyone’s sight!
The snow peak stood alone amidst the mountains as if it had fallen from the ninth heaven. The top half of the peak, almost a thousand meters high, was practically vertical with no possibility of climbing.
“We’re here!” The old patriarch of the Ying Family stared at the snow peak, pointing. “We’re here! That snow peak, see it? Behind the peak is a cave! That’s the entrance to the secret realm!”
“The area around the peak is too harsh to cross, I wonder how we’re supposed to climb and enter the cave behind the peak.” Ying Aotian remarked. “Even ancient martial grandmasters like us might not be able to do it! Let alone ordinary people. No wonder no one has ever conquered this snow peak for thousands of years.”
“The Xuanyuan Family have arranged everything in advance.” The old patriarch of the Ying Family laughed. “This year’s Rising Dragon Martial Arts Competition is taking place under the snow peak. Let’s get going, we might be the first family to arrive at the competition site! Let’s go!”
“Hahaha~~ Let’s go!” Ying Xiao also wore a face of boldness.
“Oh~~ So we’re finally here… Can’t wait to see Xuanyuan Ba again. And the Bian Family, Yu Family, Tang Family… all the families I’ve slapped in the face…” A flash of excitement passed through Huang Xiaolong’s eyes. “I can’t wait! Hahaha!!”
