The Snowy Forest is just as its name suggests, with constant wind and snow all year round. The temperature here is extremely low, and monks with lower strength may very likely freeze to death in it.
“It’s so cold!”
"This snowstorm is so painful on my face." Qin Youyou and Qu Yingli shivered. They had already taken the elixir Su Jinyue had given them, but the snowstorm only grew stronger as they went deeper into the forest.
Su Jinyue took out the Phoenix Flame and handed it to them and Su Yanxi, "We are already deep in the forest. We will reach the teleportation array in three days at most."
Everyone nodded, feeling very happy at the thought of returning to Earth soon.
"Jin Yue, what kind of stone is this? It's so warm." Qin Youyou put Phoenix Flame in her arms, and the coldness on her body immediately dissipated. If her face had not been constantly attacked by the wind and snow, she would have felt as warm as spring.
"This is Phoenix Flame," Su Jinyue said with a smile. The Fire Phoenix had awakened half a month ago. After waking up, not only had its strength increased by a level, but its feathers were also fuller than before. Its golden feathers looked very beautiful.
"Does that have anything to do with the phoenix?" Qin Youyou asked curiously. She had heard of the phoenix; it was a legendary mythical beast, but no one had ever seen one. She truly doubted whether such a mythical beast as the phoenix existed in this world.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, "Phoenix flames are formed by the flames spewed out by the phoenix."
"Have you ever seen a phoenix? Is it like the legendary phoenix, with all its feathers gleaming with gold?" Qin Youyou blinked her large, dark eyes at Su Jinyue, waiting for her answer. Since Jinyue had obtained the Phoenix Flame, she must have seen a phoenix before.
"Do you want to see him?" Su Jinyue said with a smile.
"Ah?" Qin Youyou didn't react for a moment.
Qu Yingli also looked at Su Jinyue in surprise, not understanding what she meant.
Su Jinyue's mind moved, and with a crisp cry, a ball of fire soared out, and then a big golden bird appeared above everyone's head.
"Phoenix...Phoenix!" Qin Youyou and Qu Yingli stared at the Fire Phoenix with their eyes wide open in disbelief. It turned out that phoenixes really existed in this world.
"Jin Yue, how did you get a phoenix?" Qu Yingli stared at the phoenix. This was simply unbelievable! She actually saw a living phoenix.
Su Jinyue recalled the Fire Phoenix, "I picked it up." She was not worried that Qin Youyou and Qu Yingli would tell others that she had a phoenix. Even if they really told others, others might not believe it.
"Your luck is incredible!" Qin Youyou said enviously. Although she was envious, she wasn't jealous. Everyone had their own opportunities, and if it wasn't hers, forcing it was useless. Just like her eldest brother, if he hadn't been seeking opportunities to improve his strength, he wouldn't have died so young.
Su Jinyue smiled and said, "Maybe you will have better luck than me in the future." If she had not been reborn, she would never have known that there was cultivation in this world, and how could she have had these experiences in this life.
The cicadas in the trees kept chirping, and in the fields, the farmers were busy working, sweating profusely.
Xu Tiansheng was walking on the yellow mud road leading to the village, carrying a basket full of herbs.
"Doctor Xu, are you picking herbs again?"
"Doctor Xu, how was your harvest today?"
"It's been a while since I last saw Dr. Su. When will she be back?" The villagers greeted Xu Tiansheng upon seeing him. The villagers of Shangxin Village all respected Xu Tiansheng very much. He had saved many villagers' lives during his years in Shangxin Village.
"It should be soon," Xu Tiansheng said with a forced smile. There had been no news of Jin Yue for over six months. If it weren't for Jin Yue's parents repeatedly assuring him that she would be fine, he would have gone looking for her. Although Jin Yue wasn't his biological daughter, in his heart, she was his daughter. She had been missing for so long, how could he not be worried? Now he just hoped Jin Yue would come back soon.
Gu Qiuyu was treating a villager when she saw Xu Tiansheng walk in. "Uncle Xu, you're back!" She had been at the clinic for over eight months. After Fang Zhihong left for family matters, she and Uncle Xu were the only ones left. The village committee said they would send someone to help Uncle Xu, but after almost two months, no one had arrived.
Xu Tiansheng nodded and took out a wild ginseng to show Gu Qiuyu, "I had a good harvest today. I picked a wild ginseng on the mountain." Ever since he took the medicine Jin Yue gave him, his body has been getting better and better, and climbing mountains has become easier than before. Therefore, when he collects herbs, he will go deeper into the mountains, and the herbs he collects are naturally better than before.
"This wild ginseng is at least two hundred years old, right?" Gu Qiuyu said with a smile. There were many wild ginsengs like this in Medical Valley, so she could tell the age of the wild ginseng at a glance.
"Yeah!" Xu Tiansheng nodded happily. He was so happy when he found the wild ginseng today.
"Doctor Xu, I heard that wild ginseng is the best for replenishing qi. Is that true?" asked the villager who was seeing the doctor.
"Yes, but it is not suitable for everyone. Some people have good physical constitutions. Too much nourishment will cause excessive liver fire and make them prone to nosebleeds." Xu Tiansheng said with a smile.
"Is that so?" The villager nodded in understanding. He had originally wanted to go to the mountains to see if he could dig up wild ginseng, but after hearing what Dr. Xu said, he gave up the idea.
"Uncle Xu, go eat first. The rice is hot in the pot." Gu Qiuyu picked up a pen and wrote a prescription for the villagers. The mountains near Shangxin Village did have many medicinal herbs, but there were also many poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts.
"Okay." Xu Tiansheng nodded and walked towards the backyard.
At this moment, the phone on the table rang.
Gu Qiuyu answered the phone, "Hello, this is the village clinic."
"Qiuyu, this is Su Jinyue." Su Jinyue's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Gu Qiuyu was stunned and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He asked anxiously, "Fourth sister, where are you now?" Fourth sister was indeed fine, that was great!
"I'm in Lake City, where's my master?" Su Jinyue asked. The entrance to the teleportation array leading to Tianyue Continent is in Shennongjia, a place with beautiful scenery and full of various magical legends.
Xu Tiansheng stopped dead in his tracks when he heard Gu Qiuyu's words. He stood there blankly, his eyes gradually turning red. He didn't even notice the wild ginseng in his hand had fallen to the ground. Jin Yue was really fine. She was still alive.
"Uncle Xu, it's Fourth Sister calling." Hearing Gu Qiuyu's words, Xu Tiansheng reacted and quickly rushed to the phone. He just wanted to know if Jin Yue was okay and where she had been these days.
