When they reached the top of the mountain, the snow suddenly stopped.
The mountaintop looks as if it has been deliberately flattened, with a celestial pool in the middle that is 100 meters in diameter. The water is very deep, but crystal clear.
At the bottom of the pool, there are clusters of coral-like organisms that are either milky white or light yellow.
Silver flashes appeared in the water from time to time, and Lin Qianqian could see clearly that they were small silver fish.
Ice-blue crystal lotus flowers float on the surface of the pool.
The entire lake looked ethereal and the environment was extremely beautiful.
The five people in the mall all turned to look at Lu Nanzhe, waiting for him to start his introduction.
But he was too busy breathing and stomping his feet to pay attention. After being stared at for a while, he even asked Lin Qianqian stupidly, "Why are you looking at me? Are you looking at the Qionglin creatures in Tianchi?"
"I've seen it, so hurry up and give me an introduction."
"But I don't know him, so I can't introduce him to you."
"You don't recognize him?" Lin Qianqian was a little annoyed. This Lu Nanzhe was so unreliable at this crucial moment.
"There's nothing we can do. Our Lu family hunting team has come to this island three times, but the closest we ever got was only halfway up the mountain before we suffered heavy losses and had to retreat. But the people who went back said there are at least level 80 Qionglin creatures here, but they didn't say what kind they are."
"There really is level 80?"
"Probably..."
"Should? Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?"
They were so confident before that they definitely had high-grade Qionglin biological material, but now they're not sure anymore.
They're being kept hanging by their own feet with something uncertain, making them go through all that trouble climbing mountains and wading through rivers.
If it weren't for her and Yunze protecting them, the others would have been attacked and killed by those bizarre Qionglin creatures long ago.
Ideally, what you have in front of you should be a high-grade Qionglin creature, otherwise...
But what do we do now? We've found the item, but we don't know what it is.
Why don't we just grab a few and scan them in the mall? The magic cash register can scan them, let's do that!
Lin Qianqian was just about to find a place to launch the online store.
Unexpectedly, Lu Nanzhe slapped his forehead, as if he had just thought of something. He lifted his clothes, revealing the fanny pack hanging from his waist.
The people at the mall were kind; they didn't search him or check his belongings when they rescued him.
He took an item out of his pouch, wrapped in something that looked like parchment.
Inside was a book, or at least a book.
The material is somewhat special, as if it is composed of pieces of crystal. It is the size of an A5 book page, about five or six centimeters thick, and has a symbol drawn on the top side.
The symbol occupies half of the page, with an eye-shaped piece of glass embedded in its center.
He carefully held it up and said to Lin Qianqian, "I almost forgot about this. This is the Qionglin Treasure Book. It's made from fragments of Qionglin Crystal and records all the Qionglin delicacies in the world. This is a high-end item, only aristocratic families possess it, unlike the popular science books of the Alliance."
"What is the Crystal of Qionglin?" Chu Zhou was the first to ask, clearly showing his growing interest in the object.
"No one knows what the Crystal of Qionglin really is. Legend has it that it was the first divine artifact personally crafted by the creator god of Qionglin, and the cornerstone of the Qionglin plane, but this is just a legend."
Since Lu Nanzhe took out this item, Yunze and Lin Qianqian haven't said a word.
Because they sensed something unusual about this precious book.
Lin Qianqian stared intently at the symbol, feeling that she should recognize it.
"Why didn't you bring this out sooner?" It was Luo Zexuan who spoke this time.
"I forgot."
Who would believe someone would forget something like that? But that's their privacy, so it's not appropriate to delve into it.
"Does having this manual mean we'll know what's in the Heavenly Pool?"
"Yes, just check it."
Lu Nanzhe raised the Qionglin Treasure Book, facing the side with eyes towards Tianchi.
With a "beep," the crystal book automatically turned the pages, stopping when it was about two-thirds of the way through.
One of the pages glowed faintly, and then a clear announcement was heard.
Discovered a delicacy in Qionglin: Lotus Coral, Level 65. A rare high-level Qionglin creature with no offensive capabilities. It grows from the withered and sunk water of a dead Sword Lotus. Living in cold water, it has a slightly acidic taste and possesses antidotes, making it the primary food source for Silver Swordfish.
Discover Qionglin Delicacies: Silver Swordfish: Level 75, Ice type, can turn water into ice, strong attack power. Its flesh is delicious and flavorful; regular consumption can detoxify and beautify the skin. Its body resembles a sword, it can control water to create arrows, and after death, its body turns into wood, from which lotus roots grow over time.
Discovered Qionglin Delicacies: Sword Lotus: Level 85. Its roots originate from the wooded body of a dead Silver Swordfish. The roots sink in water, where they grow stems and leaves over time, eventually blossoming into ice-blue flowers at the top. The Sword Lotus takes ten years to sprout, ten years to bloom, and ten years for the flowers to be edible before withering. After the flowers fall and the roots wither, they sink to the bottom of the water, gradually transforming into lotus-shaped coral. Consuming the Sword Lotus can improve physical constitution and enhance cultivation aptitude.
Holy crap! What did you just hear?!
Level 65 detoxifies all poisons, Level 75 enhances beauty and complexion, and Level 85 improves physical constitution and cultivation aptitude.
These three types of Qionglin creatures live in a cycle, and they also die in a cycle.
All the creatures that have appeared in Qionglin so far contain spiritual power, and those with special functions are the first of their kind I've encountered.
It's possible that he had encountered it before, but Lu Nanzhe was too inexperienced to know, and he didn't have the guide to look it up, so he didn't know.
No, that spicy turtle seems to improve blood circulation and relieve muscle tension.
It's all Lu Nanzhe's fault. He had something good but didn't bring it out sooner. He had to keep it hidden.
Lu Nanzhe understood the meaning in Lin Qianqian's eyes. He lowered his head and weakly explained.
“This was given to me by my mother before she died. She said it was a family heirloom and told me not to take it out easily. It’s different from the crystal ball chart. The Lu family’s chart requires special techniques to use. If someone steals it and doesn’t know how to use it, it’s just an ordinary crystal ball. But this one is different. Anyone can use it. At first, I didn’t dare to take it, but then I forgot about it.”
Okay, this reason barely passes!
Lin Qianqian turned her gaze back to the Heavenly Pool. In the vast Heavenly Pool, only three kinds of Qionglin creatures live.
However, they form their own cycle, constantly regenerating, and each has a special function.
If a creature capable of curing all poisons were brought back to Earth, it would surely cause a huge stir in the medical world.
Detoxification and beauty enhancement can drive beauty-loving people, especially women, crazy about it, to the point of banging their heads against a wall.
Not to mention the level 85 Sword Lotus, something that can change one's physique, which is something that everyone in the cultivation world would fight tooth and nail to get.
The journey to the top of this mountain was fraught with difficulties, but the surprises were immense.
Thinking of this, Lin Qianqian also became uneasy. She quickly walked towards Lu Nanzhe, wanting to borrow the Qionglin Treasure Book to read it.
But Chu Zhou was even faster than her.
In a flash, he appeared in front of Lu Nanzhe, so fast that the "Kaka" on his shoulder was almost thrown off.
He reached out and grabbed the Qionglin Treasure Book from Lu Nanzhe's hand tightly, saying without any politeness, "We're all so familiar with each other, can I borrow the book to take a look?"
After saying that, she stared straight at him with her clear brown eyes!
