The mission was complete, and it was time to enjoy the fish. Holding the box, Ye Xiruo walked towards the glacier. The glacier looked very deep, a deep blue-green color, and looked extremely cold. Ye Xiruo couldn't help but shiver. It was too cold. Even the fire essence given to her by her senior brother couldn't stop the chill surging in her heart.

Moreover, these snow mountain cold fish are wild and transparent, swimming happily in the icy river. This unparalleled delicacy is right before my eyes, yet I cannot eat it. Ye Xiruo is almost dying of sorrow.

It seems there's no other option but to jump in and catch the fish. Perhaps I could discuss it with Elder Lianqing. Nascent Soul cultivators certainly possess many unimaginable methods, and I could help Elder Lianqing harvest Xue Linglong.

But she really wanted to eat them right now. Ye Xiruo squatted by the ice and cold water, staring intently at the cold fish in the water, already imagining them being sliced ​​and plated. Her mouth was watering.

However, she wasn't a very good swimmer. When she touched the absolute zero water, half of her hand turned bright red from the cold. She quickly circulated her inner energy to expel the chill.

What to do, what to do! Ye Xiruo was still struggling with her decision when someone had already made the choice for her. Ye Xiruo was pushed from behind and fell directly into the icy river.

Ye Xiruo remembered that aura clearly; it belonged to that Nascent Soul cultivator, and it was using the spiritual power she was most familiar with. Ye Xiruo had detected that spiritual power long ago, but thinking about it again, this was indeed a golden opportunity. This icy river was bottomless, its destination unknown, and she was the victim who had been pushed in. She could use this opportunity to slip into her spatial dimension; she believed the system would be more than happy to take the icy river and the icy fish into its space.

Even though Ye Xiruo was mentally prepared, the moment she was pushed down, she felt as if her soul was about to leave her body from the cold. She managed to take out the water-repelling bead, but it couldn't block the cold at all. Plus, her body was covered in ice water, so the feeling was absolutely terrible.

Ye Xiruo frowned deeply and urged the system, "Hurry up and collect it, I'm about to freeze to death."

"Please bear with me for a moment, I'll be right there. Just imagine, you'll have your own fish farm in the future, where you can eat whenever you want, however you want."

If someone had drifted downstream along the flowing glacier that night, they would have left no trace other than the huge splash they had just witnessed.

"Uncle-Master, won't we be discovered if we do this?" Shi Yu looked at her uncle with some worry. The person had already disappeared. If something really happened to the young master, the entire Saintess Peak would be affected. The more Shi Yu thought about it, the paler her face became.

"That's just an ordinary glacier. It won't take the life of a Golden Core expert. It's just a small lesson for her. It's nothing serious."

"But the person is gone. Should I go down and look for them?"

"Fool, she loves eating snow mountain cold fish so much, let her go down and eat her fill. We've helped her, haven't we?" Lian Si's cold and hard face showed no remorse or worry, only pleasure and schadenfreude.

"No one is allowed to tell anyone about this, or else I will not stand up for our fellow disciples."

"Please rest assured, Uncle-Master, I will absolutely not tell anyone about what happened today. She jumped in to catch fish because she was greedy, it has nothing to do with us."

Lian Si nodded; this was the truth of the matter.

At this moment, Ye Xiruo, who was wrapped in the water-repelling pearl, was almost frozen stiff. This damned system, why didn't it say to speed things up?

"Are you done yet?" Ye Xiruo's teeth chattered.

"Oh dear, it'll be ready soon. You know how precious and rare these snow mountain cold fish are. I only collected a few dozen, which is far from enough for you. Don't forget that you still have your master, senior brother, second senior brother, and Xiu Qiyu to offer you."

Never mind, they're all going to freeze to death anyway. A tiny wisp of blue flame emerged from Ye Xiruo's fingertip, its shape resembling a delicate lotus flower, blooming alluringly.

"Put it away quickly, you scared the fish away!" the system began to yell angrily.

Ye Xiruo shrugged: "I'm freezing to death, you know that?"

"Just bear with it and it will pass."

Ye Xiruo grinding her back teeth made it sound so easy; she could just bear it. But she really couldn't stand it at all.

"This fish will be of great benefit to Xiu Qiyu."

Ye Xiruo rolled her eyes. For the sake of Brother Xiu Qi, she would have to bear with it for now!

She flowed along the direction of the glacier, and wherever she passed, the system swiftly collected the snow mountain fish and the water from the glacier. A transparent grass grew in the glacier, seemingly food for the snow mountain fish. Ye Xiruo released her spiritual power to harvest a large patch and put it into her spatial storage. Many other fish in the glacier were also collected by the system. According to the system, fish that could survive in the glacier all possessed extraordinary abilities; perhaps there would be unexpected surprises?

Ye Xiruo channeled a bit of fire-elemental true energy into the fire essence, and the fire essence immediately emitted a strong warmth, finally becoming less cold.

Mount Saintess was not as beautiful, holy, and peaceful as she had imagined; it too was a place of strife and ambition. The elder, driven solely by jealousy, had pushed her off the cliff. Anyone else in that situation, even if they hadn't died, would have been severely injured by the cold, fallen seriously ill, and their very foundation might have been damaged.

She immediately put away the box of Snow Crystals in her hand. She'd collected so much; wasn't Saintess Peak the biggest beneficiary? Yet she'd ended up like this. She decided not to leave either, letting them worry a little longer.

Ye Xiruo didn't plan to go to the Time Cultivation Room either, since her senior brother and master were still there, and if she went in like that, it would definitely arouse their suspicion.

She planned to stay in the space for a few more days before going out. Presumably, if they couldn't find her, those people wouldn't go back; the wrath of the Pill King's Palace was not something anyone could withstand. It was time to teach them that wrongdoing should come at a price.

Once the system had collected most of the spiritual energy, Ye Xiruo flashed into the space. As soon as she entered, she felt that the spiritual energy in the air had become much denser.

It turned out that the Vajra Bamboo had grown larger. The small bamboo shoots, nourished by the spiritual water, had grown bigger. The golden mutated Vajra Bamboo was also adapting very well, with each leaf looking like it was made of gold. What surprised her most was that small bamboo shoots had actually sprouted from the bottom of the mutated Vajra Bamboo, which were also golden. It seemed that she had a good chance of obtaining a large grove of mutated Vajra Bamboo.
