This remote mountain site is indeed very different from those outside.
This place originally belonged to the Northern Cold Mountain in the northern region, an extremely cold area that should be constantly covered in snow and wind and extremely cold all year round.
But here, from the moment he entered the ruins, he encountered palaces filled with lava.
Now that they've arrived here, it's warm as spring, with none of the chill that should be present in the Northern Cold Mountain.
If we're going to explain it, the most appropriate explanation would be what Su Yuewan just said—from the moment they entered the ruins and fell into the lava-filled palace, they were likely already transported to another place, and this place might not necessarily still be Beihan Mountain.
Otherwise, there's no other explanation.
However, Bai Hao no longer needs to worry about safety. With Su Yuewan and Ning Wan, these two powerful figures, he doesn't need to worry about any danger. All he needs to do is find as many good things as possible under their protection.
If possible, it would be perfect if he could put what he found into his own pocket.
With this in mind, Bai Hao's eyes remained bright and alert throughout the journey.
...
As the group ventured deeper into the forest, the surrounding environment began to change. What had been a clear forest ahead was now gradually shrouded in a white mist, drifting around and obscuring vision. Even a few miles away could no longer be seen, and visibility was severely impaired.
But the more unusual something is, the more it proves that something is there.
Su Yuewan and Ning Wan are both formidable individuals. Relying on their exceptional strength, they moved forward without wavering, leading those behind them with unwavering confidence, as if they had returned to their own home.
What made them even happier was that after arriving in this area, they could see precious spiritual plants everywhere. Some of them were common but very expensive, while others were rare medicinal herbs that were rarely seen outside.
Although they are not quite as good as the Sea Jade Fruit, these spiritual plants are still excellent. Many of them are priceless treasures.
Although sea jujube is more precious, it cannot represent actual, short-term visible benefits.
But these spiritual plants are different. Once they are taken out, they can be sold immediately or used to refine pills. Everyone uses them differently.
As for these spiritual plants, the Luohai Sect and the Da Cang Kingdom also divided them equally in a friendly manner.
Anyway, they are all just some spiritual plants, none of them are particularly precious, and these spiritual plants are basically not from a single plant, so they are easy to divide. Everyone gets half, so there is no need for disagreement.
This is the ideal state of cooperation.
No arguments, no scheming, good things are shared among everyone, no need to fight or take risks, isn't that great?
They originally joined the cooperation to obtain more resources. Now that they have collected the resources and there are no disagreements, they can continue to cooperate amicably and move forward.
...
After collecting almost all the spiritual plants here, the group continued on their way.
As they went deeper, the fog around them grew thicker and thicker, and visibility decreased. Eventually, everything around them turned into a white expanse, and visibility dropped to almost zero. Bai Hao could only see people within ten meters of him, and even then, he could only see blurry shadows and could not make out their faces.
"Shouldn't we... play it safe?" Bai Hao couldn't help but remind him.
The white mist gave him a bad feeling, as if something was watching them from all sides. Those cold gazes were like hunters eyeing their prey, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.
This feeling made Bai Hao's heart tremble.
Su Yuewan and Ning Wan finally stopped and looked at the white mist around them.
"This is a barrier. As long as we step out of the edge of this barrier, the surrounding white mist will dissipate. If we can't find them, we'll be trapped here and unable to get out," Su Yuewan paused and said.
Hearing this, Bai Hao felt a surge of excitement.
"Then, Sect Master, have you found the exit?"
"No."
Bai Hao: “…”
【Then tell me what's wrong! Why are you leading us around aimlessly when we haven't found it?】
Are they afraid we'll live too long?!
He was truly speechless. Not knowing the exit and still walking, Su Yuewan was just too oblivious.
Su Yuewan also realized that her approach was indeed a bit flawed, so she didn't blame Bai Hao. Instead, she explained, "But if we don't move forward and find a way to leave, we will be trapped here forever."
"...Aren't you at the Supreme Realm? Can't you just shatter this barrier directly?" Bai Hao muttered under his breath.
"No." Su Yuewan's answer was also very honest.
“Barriers have their own rules. Only by finding the rules of a barrier, or by understanding some of them, can one forcibly break it. But I am not proficient in barriers, and this barrier is not an ordinary one. Even with my cultivation level, I cannot shake it.” Su Yuewan raised her head, looking at the white mist around her, her brows furrowing slightly.
This was actually her concern.
From the moment she entered, she sensed that this barrier was unusual. But just as she herself said, once inside this barrier, the only way out was to find her sister's exit or forcibly break through the barrier; otherwise, even if they went back, it would be useless.
Aren't they trying to find an exit from the barrier right now?
Moreover, even with her supreme cultivation level, she couldn't break through this barrier directly, which is the most shocking part.
You must know that she is at the Supreme Realm. Even if she doesn't understand barriers, she can forcefully break through most barriers with her absolute cultivation.
Unless the person who set up the barrier has a cultivation level similar to hers, both being at the Supreme Realm.
The current barrier is clearly in this situation; either the barrier itself is very special, or the person who set up the barrier has a cultivation level higher than Su Yuewan's.
Su Yuewan leans more towards the former of the two guesses.
She preferred to believe that the barrier was special rather than that the person taking advantage of the situation had a cultivation level similar to hers.
"So, are we just going to wander around like headless flies?" Bai Hao muttered.
"Isn't it good now? There are so many rare spiritual plants around, it's actually not bad." Ning Wan finally spoke up, but her tone carried a hint of...disdain?
“Even if we dig up all these spiritual plants, we still need to get out. If we can’t get out, we won’t have any more spiritual plants.” Bai Hao didn’t notice the subtle change in Ning Wan’s tone.
"Then let's keep going and find a way to get out of here, instead of complaining." Su Yuewan really couldn't stand Bai Hao's indecisive and cowardly attitude.
"Stop talking and just follow us!"
