The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Lin Qing, Gu Nanxun, and Gu Nianqing got up.

They didn't disturb anyone else; they simply greeted Dong Xiulan, ate a quick breakfast, and then quietly set off.

Gu Nanxun drove Lin Qing and Gu Nianqing, following Xiao Lan's instructions, all the way to the foot of the mountain.

"This must be the mountain!"

As soon as they got out of the car, Gu Nianqing said with a confident expression.

"Is this mountain any different from other mountains?"

Hearing Gu Nianqing's words, Lin Qing asked curiously.

"There is a spiritual energy in this mountain, though it is very faint!"

Gu Nianqing said thoughtfully.

Lin Qing was taken aback upon hearing this. "Spiritual energy? Didn't you say there was no spiritual energy in this plane?"

Gu Nianqing shook her head. "I don't know either. This plane really doesn't have any spiritual energy. I just don't know what's so special about this mountain."

"Since you can sense spiritual energy, let's follow the path where the spiritual energy is abundant! Once we find the source of the spiritual energy, we'll naturally know."

After listening to their conversation, Gu Nanxun thought for a moment and then said...

Gu Nianqing nodded upon hearing this, "I'll lead the way, Mom and Dad, you can follow behind."

Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing exchanged a glance and then nodded in unison.

Gu Nianqing walked ahead, closed her eyes, and quietly sensed the thin spiritual energy around her.

Although the spiritual energy here is far less than in the world he once lived in, the spiritual energy in this mountain is unusually active, as if it is guiding them in the right direction.

Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun followed closely behind, their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, searching for any possible clues.

The mountain path was rugged, but all three walked steadily, showing no signs of fatigue.

As they ventured deeper into the mountains, Gu Nianqing felt the spiritual energy becoming increasingly abundant.

"Look, that must be the flower that Xiaolan touched!"

Suddenly, Lin Qing pointed to a spot and exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxun and Gu Nianqing looked up and saw a strange flower shining brightly in the morning light not far ahead. The flower emitted a pale purple glow, just as Xiaolan had described, and it was indeed exceptionally beautiful.

The flower swayed gently in the breeze, emitting a captivating fragrance that contrasted sharply with its surrounding natural environment.

"This should be it!"

Gu Nianqing said excitedly that he could feel the spiritual energy contained in the flower, which was faint but exceptionally pure.

"Strange, flowers with ice properties should grow in extremely cold places, but I don't know why they are growing here."

Looking at the flowers in front of her, Gu Nianqing frowned and said.

"System, what kind of flower is this?"

Lin Qing asked the system in his mind.

"Ding... Scanning and analyzing. This flower is called Purple Spirit Ice Flower, a low-level spiritual plant. It is named for its purple flowers and the small amount of ice-attribute spiritual energy it contains. It grows in ordinary environments and can grow wherever there is spiritual energy. This flower bears fruit once every three years. The fruit is purplish-red and called Purple Spirit Ice Fruit. It can provide a small amount of spiritual power to ice-type cultivators and can also be used to refine pills."

The system's voice rang in Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun's minds.

Lin Qing told Gu Nianqing about the Purple Spirit Ice Flower.

Gu Nianqing nodded after listening, "Fortunately, it's only a low-level spiritual plant. If it were any higher-level, I probably wouldn't be able to help her treat her illness!"

After listening to Lin Qing's explanation, Gu Nianqing smiled and said.

In fact, Gu Nianqing had already guessed that the spiritual fruit Xiaolan ate must not be of a very high grade, otherwise she would not have been able to withstand it and would have exploded and died.

"Mom, can you ask the system how to harvest them?"

"System, how do I harvest the Purple Spirit Ice Flower?"

Lin Qing silently recited in her heart.

"When picking Purple Spirit Ice Flowers, be careful not to touch the flowers directly with your hands, so as not to damage the spiritual energy inside. Special spiritual plant gloves should be used for picking, and the roots should be dug out together to maintain its complete vitality."

The system provided detailed instructions to Lin Qing on how to properly pick the Purple Spirit Ice Flower.

Lin Qing relayed the system's instructions to Gu Nianqing.

Upon hearing this, Gu Nianqing took out a pair of jade spirit gloves and a jade shovel from her personal space.

"Nianqing, where did you get these gloves and shovel? When did you get them?"

Lin Qing noticed the gloves and shovel in Gu Nianqing's hands that emitted a faint glow and asked about them with curiosity.

"This is something I already had. Last month I broke through, and my original space can now be opened. However, many things in the space are still locked, but the shovel and gloves are low-level equipment, so I can use them."

Seeing her mother's curiosity, Gu Nianqing patiently explained.

"Was your original space a personal space? Was it open to people?"

Lin Qing continued to ask curiously.

"People can get in, but not yet. I've only unlocked the storage function, and only a small part of it."

As Gu Nianqing spoke, she carefully dug up the Purple Spirit Ice Flower.

"Mom and Dad, wait for me a moment, I'm going to plant the Purple Spirit Ice Flower!"

Gu Nianqing held the Purple Spirit Ice Flower in her hands and spoke to Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun.

"Let's go together!"

After saying that, the three of them flashed into the space. Gu Nianqing found a piece of land in Lingqing's garden where she planted spiritual plants and carefully planted the Purple Spirit Ice Flower there.

"Alright, mission accomplished!"

Gu Nianqing summoned a stream of water to wash the mud off her hands, then smiled and said.

"Let's look again! See if there are any more Purple Spirit Ice Flowers."
