Ye Xiruo was engrossed in alchemy, and at mealtimes, maids would bring food to her room, but they would never disturb her.

On the third day, Ye Xiruo suddenly realized that they seemed to have entered a snow-capped mountain. As far as the eye could see, everything was a pure, silvery-white expanse. In the distance were continuous snow-capped mountains, and snowflakes like goose feathers fell from the sky, making the whole world seem more tranquil.

Perhaps because they had entered the snow-capped mountains, the temperature inside the Crystal Palace had dropped somewhat. Ye Xiruo took out the Fire Essence given to her by her senior brother, and the continuous heat from the Fire Essence finally drove away some of the chill.

In her past life, Ye Xiruo loved snowflakes and would travel to the coldest places every year to see them, but she was extremely afraid of the cold. In winter, she wanted to wrap herself up like a ball. Although she had cultivated immortality in this life and had now formed her core, she shouldn't be afraid of the cold anymore, but she still loved the warm feeling of winter. Wearing the Fire Essence wasn't enough; Ye Xiruo also took out a white fox fur coat from her ring, wrapped herself up tightly, and then went downstairs.

Elder Lianchi was resting on the third floor, while several female disciples from Saintess Peak were meditating cross-legged in the living room on the first floor.

As expected of a sacred place, this level of effort is commendable.

"Young Master." The leading girl suddenly opened her eyes.

"It's me. I hope I didn't disturb your cultivation!"

"No." The girl in plain clothes looked at Ye Xiruo's thick coat with some surprise. Half of Ye Xiruo's face was almost buried in the soft white fur, making her look even more petite.

"Is Mount Sainte like the snow-capped mountains, covered in snow all year round?"

"No, our ancestors established the sect deep in the vast snow-capped mountains to avoid the world. Although there are several snow-capped mountains within the sect, they are all sacred sites of the sect, and no one may enter without an imperial decree."

Fortunately, this is already quite good. Ye Xiruo found it hard to imagine a sect being entirely covered in silver and white, with crystal-clear ice and snow buildings. It would be beautiful, but it would lack the warmth of human life and inevitably make people feel uneasy.

Besides, although she liked snowflakes, she didn't want to stay in the ice and snow kingdom for long.

Ye Xiruo sat down, brewed a cup of hot tea, held the teacup in her hands, felt the warmth, and took a moment to admire the snow scene outside. Life couldn't be better.

After gradually getting used to the boundless snowscape, Ye Xiruo returned to the second floor, took off her coat, rolled over, and climbed onto the bed. She curled herself into a ball, rolled around a couple of times—it felt so comfortable. Tired from rolling, she simply fell asleep.

Even after arriving at Saintess Peak, Ye Xiruo was still asleep.

Elder Lianchi moved Ye Xiruo out, bed and all, and set up a soundproof barrier.

"Carry her into Su Nu Peak and take good care of her. If she wakes up, come and report to me immediately."

"Yes, Elder Lianchi."

Lianchi hadn't expected to receive the Holy Maiden's decree so soon after joining the sect. Without even taking a break, she rushed to Holy Maiden Peak, the Holy Maiden's favorite place.

"Greetings, Holy Maiden. Your subordinate has fulfilled your mission and brought the shopkeeper back to the sect safely."

"You've worked hard." The saintess seemed to be in a good mood, and her tone was more human.

Indeed, everyone on Mount Saintess knows that the Saintess is a genius; she is made of ice and snow, without a trace of human warmth, and is their goddess.

"This is my duty."

"What do I need?"

“They’re all here.” Lianchi took out several projection stones and handed them to the Holy Maiden.

"Yes, Holy Maiden."

"Alright, go and rest!"

"yes."

After Elder Lianchi left, the Holy Maiden's slender white fingers trembled slightly as she picked up the projection stone on the table. These were recordings of Ye Xiruo that Lianchi had made; one showed her during her tribulation, and the other showed her in the Crystal Palace.

The last scene in the projection stone is Ye Xiruo wrapping herself up in a ball, rolling around on the fluffy bed, and eventually falling asleep.

Ye Xiruo slept very soundly, so much so that she didn't even notice that she had been moved to a different place. She continued to sleep peacefully, which was probably related to the excessive mental energy she had generated from refining pills on her alt account the previous two days, as well as the soundproofing array set up by the lotus pond.

She went out alone this time, without anyone secretly protecting her. Her master handed her the gift, indicating that he was going into seclusion and telling Ye Xiruo to be careful.

If Ye Xiruo sends Master into the space, then Senior Brother and Brother Xiuqi won't have to "friendly sparring" every day anymore. I believe Master will definitely be able to help them understand themselves correctly.

Unlike Medicine King Valley, Saintess Peak is renowned for its mystery; no one knows its exact location. It is rarely traversed on main roads, yet it is a powerful presence that the entire continent cannot ignore.

The disciples of Saintess Peak always descend the mountain in simple white robes for their training, dedicated to helping the world and saving lives, earning them a renowned reputation throughout the continent. However, they never linger on the continent, returning to their sect immediately after their training, which adds to the mystique of Saintess Peak.

Out of respect and trust for Mount Saintess, Jing Li did not challenge its bottom line by sending Ye Xiruo alone. She also reminded her to sleep during the last half-day, even if she wasn't sleepy.

When Ye Xiruo woke up, she found herself in a different place. This room was naturally not as nice as her Ye Ruo Palace, but the furnishings were simple and elegant, somewhat similar to the style of the snow mountain.

Thinking that she had now entered Saintess Peak, Ye Xiruo felt a surge of excitement. Even her master had never been to Saintess Peak, so she wanted to take a good look around.

"Young Master, you've woken up."

"Yes, what time is it now?" Ye Xiruo felt like she had slept for a long time and was now a little hungry.

"It's dinner time now."

That's great! After washing up, Ye Xiruo wrapped herself in a coat made of fox fur and was led by a maid to go eat.

Although Mount Saintess is nestled deep within the snow-capped mountains, the view isn't one of pristine white, but rather of towering, ancient trees reaching straight to the sky. The architecture here isn't as ornate as the Pill King's Palace, nor as ethereal as Medicine King Valley; rather, it resembles the ancient buildings of my previous life, with its uniform blue hues giving it a rustic and solemn feel.

Saintess Peak was entirely populated by female disciples, all dressed in plain robes. They greeted Ye Xiruo with polite smiles, presumably assuming she was a disciple they had just brought back from outside.

Ye Xiruo never expected that the person having dinner with her would be Elder Lianqing, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Greetings, Elder Lianqing."

"Long time no see, Young Master has grown even more handsome."

Ye Xiruo blushed slightly, realizing she'd been teased: "Not at all, Elder Lianqing is becoming increasingly holy." This wasn't flattery; it was the truth. Elder Lianqing's aura had indeed become stronger, though not by much, it was still quite astonishing.

Is it really that easy to improve the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator? Just look at your master and you'll know.

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you. I spent seven days cultivating at the lotus pond and my strength improved a bit."

"Congratulations, Elder Lianqing."
