Above the snow, there is an ice cave specially carved out for the Heavenly Ginseng Fruit.
On the ice, four tender buds, each the size of a fingernail, sprouted from the emerald green vines.
Jia Xitong carefully touched the tender buds on it, "If there were more Heavenly Ginseng Fruit vines, we could all achieve the Primordial Taiyi Elixir Freedom."
She admired her own foresight.
"By the way, dear host, didn't Huo Rui bring a Heavenly Ginseng Fruit with him when he came?"
She suddenly remembered this matter, and that they hadn't returned Qu Haifeng's alchemy furnace either.
"I will not be refining pills for the time being."
Shang Yanting shook his head.
The completion of the Primordial Taiyi Elixir caused a great stir. Although he had already taken control of the surrounding mountains, it didn't mean he could keep his alchemy a secret. It's common knowledge that rare and precious materials for alchemy are extremely difficult to obtain. He had already opened the furnace twice; if he did it again, people would surely speculate about just how many rare and precious materials Xianlong Peak possessed.
"oh."
Jia Xitong nodded, "The host is indeed thinking ahead."
As the two were speaking, the communication talisman in Shang Yanting's sleeve kept lighting up, "Peak Master..."
"Go, go, go to the left. Peak Master, can you hear me?"
"Peak Master, the Tengyun Mountains..."
The voice was intermittent, but it was easy to recognize that it belonged to Niu Chuanchuan. The Tengyun Mountains mentioned inside were located in an obscure demonic mountain a hundred miles away from the academy.
"How did Niu Niu end up there?"
Jia Xitong was extremely surprised; she had seen him inside the peak that morning.
"Niu Chuanchuan took on a mission and left this morning."
They left in the morning and called for help in the afternoon.
"As expected of Niu Niu."
Jia Xitong took out her unresponsive communication talisman and signaled to Shang Yanting not to stand there, saying that saving Niu Niu was the priority at this crucial moment.
##
The Tengyun Mountains are named as such because at least two-thirds of the mountain range is shrouded in clouds. Surrounded by white mist, it resembles a fairyland, but it is also teeming with magical beasts.
Another unique feature is that all flying magical beasts and artifacts cannot pass through the airspace here.
Jia Xitong and Shang Yanting quickly arrived at the outer edge of the Tengyun Mountains, but the real challenge was the search on foot over the dozens of miles.
"Niu Niu?"
"Niu Niu, where are you?"
"Niu Niu, if you hear me, reply quickly."
Jia Xitong kept trying to contact him with the talisman, but unfortunately, there was no response from the other side.
What do we do now?
Such a big place, it's not easy for them to find.
"...Walk around the mountain a few times and see if there are any clues."
Unlike other monster mountain ranges, the Tengyun Mountains are home to monsters that have never left the mountains. The surrounding area is open and fertile, with many villages scattered along the way.
The two hadn't walked far when they saw smoke rising from a chimney ahead.
The hunter was processing his game at the doorway, while the aroma of rendered pork fat wafted from inside. Seeing them approach, the hunter stood up, knife in hand.
"Hello."
Jia Xitong glanced at the weapon in his hand. "Brother, we mean no harm. We just want to ask if you saw a tall, strong, and honest-looking young man heading towards the Tengyun Mountains this morning?"
"You are cultivators."
The hunter asked.
"right."
Jia Xitong nodded.
"There were quite a few cultivators who went to the Tengyun Mountains this month, but none of them have returned."
Hearing Jia Xitong's answer, the hunter shook his head. "Master cultivator, you'd better not go into the Tengyun Mountains. It's been quite unsettled there lately. All the common beasts living nearby are running away, and strange noises are often heard coming from deep within the mountains."
Jia Xitong frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Upon hearing what the uncle said, one gets the feeling that Niu Chuanchuan is in grave danger.
"So did you see a group of people going up the mountain this morning?"
Shang Yanting asked again.
"Yes. But it wasn't just one person, it was a group of people."
The hunter pointed south. "They're heading that way."
Thank you.
Jia Xitong said to him, took out a piece of silver from her pocket, and then the two of them walked into the mountain.
south.
Shang Yanting suddenly stopped in the dense forest.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing him standing there, Jia Xitong reflexively glanced at the two people's communication talisman, but no sound came from it.
"Don't you have a compass for finding treasure?"
Upon Shang Yanting's reminder, Jia Xitong suddenly remembered, "Right, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."
She took out the Eight-Turn Treasure Hunting Compass, and saw the pointer spinning continuously like a wheel. "Host, it's malfunctioning. Shouldn't we listen to our fellow villagers and head south?"
"That person... there's something wrong with him."
Shang Yanting frowned.
As a butcher, he wields a knife like a sword.
Children's clothes were hanging outside, but no sound of children could be heard inside the room.
Most importantly, the atmosphere inside the room suggests that there is more than one person present.
Since the possibility of it being in the south is extremely small, then the corresponding possibility is the west. Holding the wildly spinning compass, he made up his mind, "Let's go check that out first."
From afternoon to night.
Jia Xitong could no longer maintain her human form, so she transformed back into a raccoon and was carried by Shang Yanting. Even as a powerful Martial King, she moved very quickly. She felt the leaves rustling past her on either side, and she didn't know how far they had traveled.
Niu Niu did not send any messages during this period.
She held the sound transmission talisman in one paw and the compass in the other, constantly watching for any changes on it.
Just then, the compass suddenly stopped!
"Host, please wait!"
Jia Xitong turned the compass several times to make sure it was pointing straight to their left. "There seems to be something there?"
