As I walked out of the Yundou Forest, I felt the temperature around me drop sharply, and a thick layer of frost began to form on the ground around me.
Mu Huan couldn't help but shiver. "I didn't expect it to be so cold even though we haven't even reached the extreme cold."
"No, this is already the Extremely Cold Land. It's just the outermost area, and our target, the Tansilk Grass, grows at the very top of the Extremely Cold Land, in the innermost area."
"It's worthy of being an extremely cold place!" Qi Chu coughed twice. This place might be incompatible with his physique.
"Achu, can you hold on?" Mu Chen was a little worried. Qi Chu's body was not suitable for staying in such a place.
"I can do it, don't worry." His voice was a little weak.
"The elders of our tribe once said that the only way to cure the sequelae of my premature birth is with the snow lotus from the extremely cold land. However, the snow lotus from the extremely cold land has become a spirit and is very difficult to find. Every time someone from my family goes out, they return empty-handed."
Qi Chu coughed a few more times. He had come here with a glimmer of hope. He couldn't let his body hold him back any longer.
"If you can't hold on any longer, be sure to tell us!" Qi Chu's face turned a little paler. Mu Huan suddenly felt that having a good body was really important! For example, she was as strong as a bull!
"Let's go quickly and don't waste time." Qi Chu was supported by Mu Chen, and at least they could safely get through the outskirts of the extremely cold land.
As we went deeper into the extremely cold land, a blizzard began to blow. The snow was so deep that every step left deep footprints. The further we walked, the harder it was to move forward.
"I heard there's a very powerful spirit beast lurking in the extremely cold land. I hope we don't run into it."
Mu Qing thought it would be best to avoid a conflict if possible. After all, they knew very little about the extremely cold land, so it would be best to take the Tansi grass and leave as soon as possible.
"But it seems that we have no choice!" Tan Tai Luo's voice was trembling, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she was cold or scared.
"I seem to see vaguely that white thing moving. Could it be the extremely powerful spiritual beast that you, Brother Mu, mentioned?" The voice was very low, but it was clear enough for Mu Qing and the others to hear.
He looked at the direction of Tan Tailuo's finger, but before he could see it clearly, the white mass seemed to realize something and slowly turned around. Because its body was a bit heavy, it took a while to turn around.
"Oh no, it's a snow beast!" Qi Chu recognized the identity of the thing at a glance.
"There's no time to talk anymore, let's find a more secluded place to hide!" Mu Qing was busy giving orders, but he didn't expect the snow beasts to be so fast. They soon realized that they were intruders, and they spread their clumsy feet and ran straight towards them.
"It's too late, we can only fight hard!" Mu Huan took out the jade flute, ready to fight at any time.
She had learned about spirit beasts like snow beasts. While they weren't very strong, their bulky build gave them many advantages in combat. Snow beasts were also known for their strong sense of territory, and they wouldn't tolerate any other species invading their territory.
What’s even more terrifying is that snow beasts are social animals!!!
Just as the snow beast was approaching, the water qilin directly broke through Tan Tai Luo's contract space and came out.
"Roar!" The huge body stood in front with an absolute protective posture.
Apparently due to the pressure from the divine beast, the snow beasts quickly stopped their group attacks and began to crawl on the ground tremblingly.
"So handsome!" Mu Huan whistled in a gangster manner.
"I should have thought of it earlier. They are all water-related, and the Water Qilin is a divine beast. The pressure and blood suppression alone are enough to give the Snow Beast a hard time." Mu Qing shook his head helplessly. After all the calculations, he didn't expect there was this layer.
Seeing that he had done something meritorious, the Water Qilin turned around and rubbed against Tan Tai Luo, shaking his head and tail, obviously asking for praise and commendation.
"I'm telling you, can you be a little smaller before you rub against me? You're about to rub me into the ground." The Water Qilin was too big after losing weight, and Tan Tai Luo said he couldn't bear it.
"Don't they say that mythical beasts can transform into human form? Why does the Water Qilin still look so stupid?" Mu Huan gently stroked his chin, which was red from the wind, with his fingers, "Hiss~!" It's so cold!
The Water Qilin paused obviously and got up from Tan Tai Luo's body.
"Don't you want to transform? Or is it because the injuries were too severe that the transformation failed." Logically speaking, when growing to the level of a divine beast, transforming is a piece of cake.
However, when one thinks about the inhuman treatment the Water Qilin has received since its birth, the most likely reason for its failure to transform is probably that the transformation failed.
The Water Qilin didn't say a word and went straight back to the contract space.
"It should be that the transformation failed." Mu Huan felt that this was a very serious problem. He had reached the stage of a divine beast but could not do what a divine beast could do. Moreover, he might have some hidden illness due to the abuse over the years.
"It shouldn't be a big deal if the transformation fails." Tan Tai Luo was a little worried. After all, when the connection was forcibly severed, the one who suffered the most damage was not only her, but also the water qilin who was still a cub at the time.
"I'm not sure! But I think there must be at least some psychological trauma." Mu Huan could also understand this kind of pain, just like when she had endured the pain of having her spirit bones shattered.
"That's right. Having psychological shadows is equivalent to having inner demons in a person's cultivation. If it is not resolved in time, it will definitely affect future promotions." It is said that the ancient Qilin clan values strength the most, and family ties and bloodlines are completely unreliable.
"The person who tied the bell must untie it. If you want to cure him completely, you can only take him to the Qilin tribe." Judging from his voice, Qi Chu was still a little weak, but better than when he came before.
"Once we finish our work here, we will go to the upper realm!" Mu Huan patted Tan Tai Luo's shoulder and looked up at the sky.
The Upper Realm was a place both filthy and enchanting. Home to diverse races, where the strong reigned supreme, and most importantly, abundant spiritual energy, it was truly a place that all cultivators longed for.
Tan Tai Luo nodded. "We've already reached the inner area, why haven't we seen any Tan Silk Grass?"
"The tansilk grass is completely white, almost blending in with the snow. It's also spiritually intelligent enough to know to run away when it encounters danger. So, it might take some effort to find it."
I've come a long way and have overcome so many difficulties, so the last step is nothing big.
"By the way, when we look for the spiderwort, let's also look for the snow lotus." Mu Huan looked at Qi Chu. What a good child, but his body was so weak.
"Of course!" Tan Tai Luo put his hand on Mu Huan's shoulder very generously. When you are in the martial arts world, the most important thing is loyalty!
"Let's find it quickly. Even a normal person's body can't stand staying in this kind of ghost place for too long." Mu Huan moved away Tan Tai Luo's hand on his shoulder with a hint of "disgust".
Some things require a bit of courage to obtain. How can you know that you don’t like snow without experiencing it?
