As soon as they entered the secret realm, they were hit by an icy breath, which made many monks shiver and use all kinds of methods to keep warm.
"Why don't I feel cold in this secret land of ice and snow?"
"That's because Master, you have the strange fire Ice Flame, plus you have ice spirit roots. You are like a fish in water here, tailor-made for you."
"So that's how it is. I read in the alchemy book that some spiritual herbs grow in the world of ice and snow, in cold places. I don't know how many I can gather here. But the most important thing now is that little thing. No matter what, I can't let her get it. Let's go!"
Not long after, Yun Dandan stopped, thought for a while, placed the refining house on the ground, and walked in.
Jiji was puzzled, "Why did you stop?"
"It won't be too late to set off after I refine a magical weapon. By then, I will be able to travel freely regardless of whether it is snow or ice."
"Wow, I'm really looking forward to it then."
Half an hour later, an exquisite boat-like object appeared on the ice and snow. After being embedded with spiritual stones and covered with strange fire, it looked extremely exquisite.
"What is this?"
"You could call it a refined sled, a great tool for walking on snow."
Jiji's eyes sparkled, and she said coquettishly, "Master, can I sit down?"
"Just sit down. It's just right that no one can see you if you sit inside. Hold on tight."
Jiji nodded, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes with his little paws. He was so happy that he almost flew up. He finally came out to get some fresh air.
This is a world of ice and snow. The mountains in the distance are shrouded in thick fog, appearing and disappearing, as if a mysterious giant is guarding this frozen kingdom.
The lake we passed by was covered with a thick layer of ice, which was as crystal clear as sapphire. The ice surface reflected the white clouds and the sun in the sky, which was so beautiful that people couldn't help but be intoxicated by it. In this silent and beautiful world, everything seemed so peaceful and harmonious, only the occasional roar of beasts broke the tranquility.
"Haha, that's awesome! A natural ski slope and ice rink. This way, it's much faster than walking."
"Yes, Master, how did you come up with this thing? Look, the snow melted when it touched the strange fire. Combined with the speed of this magic weapon, it's amazing."
"Hey, that's the wisdom of our ancestors. I just used it and improved it a little bit."
"That's awesome, will there be more in the future?"
"Of course there is. Hold on tight, I'm going to approach the target quickly."
"Uh-huh."
As a series of tracks on the snow moved further away, they approached an ice peak in the center. There was a cave there, which seemed to be inhabited by rabbits or something.
"Master, are you sure what you are looking for is here?"
"I'm sure that although this little fellow was born with a strong bloodline, he's still a young beast and poses no threat at all. He's currently hibernating to conserve his energy."
"So that's how it is. Will it follow us?"
"Of course. Ordinary cultivators can't get through here. It will take several days for them to arrive. I've already taken it to look for other opportunities. Please keep an eye on the surroundings."
Yun Dandan took out a piece of fragrant barbecue from the space ring and put it into the cave. Not long after, she heard a rustling sound, and a little head popped out of the cave. It turned out to be a snow-white fox.
"Hi, hello, be my beast. I'll take you out for a good meal and make sure you reach adulthood quickly. Maybe you'll even come back to show off your power."
The little fox's head, which had been retracted, popped out again and looked at the man and the spirit. He lowered his head and thought for a long time. Seeing that the man in front of him did not try to rob him, he decided to take a gamble.
"squeak......"
"You agree? Oh, then we're family from now on. Go eat first, and then let me hug you. I've never petted a fox before."
The little fox looked at the human who was happy from the bottom of her heart, and felt happy in her heart, especially when she heard her call her her own people, hehe.
After finishing her meal, Yun Dandan made a contract with the little guy. In this icy and uninhabited place, no one noticed the bright white beam of light from the contract.
"Ah, it's so comfortable to hold you cool and icy. Won't it be even better when you grow up? I will definitely feed you until you are plump and white. I will also hold the other one in the winter and you in the hot weather. Just thinking about it makes me happy."
"Hehe, there's no need to be fat and white. It won't look good."
Yun Dandan was slightly stunned, then remembered that the little guy was of the same gender. "Humans and animals all have a love for beauty. I understand. Let's go grab something."
"Robbery?" The little fox was puzzled. Was he following a female bandit?
"Oh, I said it wrong. It's about looking for an opportunity."
"Okay, okay, there's an ice bear behind this mountain guarding a spiritual flower. If I eat it, it will increase my cultivation by two levels. Unfortunately, I can't defeat it. But you, my master, are different. I just increased my cultivation by one level after the contract, but now I'm just one step away from being kicked out of the secret realm."
“!”
Yun was speechless, having almost forgotten about it. "It seems I can't make a contract with anyone else if I meet one."
"Yeah."
"What's the cultivation level of that spirit beast?"
"It's probably the eighth level of foundation building for humans. Should we still go?"
"Go, and watch me steal it back for you."
Yun Dandan stroked the little fox's fur and said, "Let's dig a tunnel there. You know exactly where it grows, right?"
"I know. It's about ten feet away from the ice bear. I saw it once."
"That's fine, let's go."
Yun Dandan walked alone along the mountains on both sides, stopped about a hundred feet away, released a strange fire to melt the ice under his feet, and began to move forward underground.
In other places in the secret realm, most cultivators were frozen and unable to move forward too far, except for the fire cultivators, but they consumed spiritual power quickly and their movement speed was much slower.
“Hiss, luckily I have water spirit roots, so I’m not that cold. But if I stay here for too long, I’m afraid I won’t find anything good.”
"Wait for me to explore. This kind of secret place is very rare. There might be rare things there."
Half an hour later, the black spirit transformed into a black thread and went out. "Follow the direction it points you to. There should be something good there."
"Okay, don't make me run for nothing."
Yun Piaopiao walked forward all the way. Halfway through, the black silk paused and continued to point the way. When they arrived at the place, they looked at the cave in front of them. The entrance was probably higher than an adult man.
"Black Spirit, help me detect if there is anything inside?"
"I can't see it. It's blocked and probed. You'd better see it yourself."
“…”
Waving her hand to release spiritual power as illumination, she walked cautiously inside, and soon she saw what was inside.
All I could see was a series of stone chambers in the wide cave, with the doors wide open revealing nothing but empty shelves.
