Fortunately, although Wanling Mountain is 4,000 meters higher than the Himalayas, it is located in the tropics, and its base temperature is much higher than that of the Himalayas. So even though they are now at an altitude of nearly 7,000 meters, the temperature is still good.
The most important thing is that they have been here for three days and the sun has been shining every day, which is definitely the best thing for them.
After checking everyone's health, especially the guards who had severe altitude sickness yesterday, and making sure they were all fine, Murong Xiao ordered everyone to put on the snow boots she invented.
Snowshoes have large, flat soles, allowing them to sink into the soft snow with minimal effort. Initially, several guards preferred wearing waterproof whale skin boots, but after walking for a while, they strapped on their snowshoes, and sure enough, their ascent speed increased immediately.
After reaching an altitude of 7,000 meters, Murong Xiao ordered everyone to tie themselves together in groups of four using ropes. By this point, the hillside was devoid of any traces of human activity, let alone a mountain path. Murong Xiao, Qian Yeming, and their guards chose the gentlest slopes possible. Even so, the steepness of the terrain forced everyone to crawl, almost like animals, using all four limbs.
However, it is gratifying that although climbing in this way is very tiring, it is extremely efficient. Sometimes everyone supports each other to climb a steeper slope, and when they turn around, they see that the short distance just now is already a hundred meters high.
Whenever Murong Xiao arrived at a place where it was convenient to view, he would ask Qian Yeming to fly to a conspicuous place and tie a red rope on it. This way, they would have a rough idea of how high they had climbed and how many mountain roads were waiting for them, so that they could be fully prepared when they approached 10,000 meters.
The snowy mountain road on the third day was much easier to walk on than Murong Xiao had imagined. Although the temperature dropped rapidly as she expected, and there were steep and difficult mountain roads from time to time, they were well prepared, and those who participated in the herbal medicine collection were all first-class guards with light skills. With everyone supporting each other, it was not difficult.
The guard who had suffered from altitude sickness the previous day had rested for the night, and with her medicine and acupuncture, her body had gradually adapted. When night fell, everyone was delighted to find that they had actually reached an altitude of about 8,500 meters.
The afterglow of the sunset shines on the vast mountains, and the vast white snow emits a faint golden-red light. There are clouds under their feet and above their heads. The whole mountain is like a link connecting heaven and earth, and they are in this half-human, half-immortal artistic conception.
As the sun set, we concluded our day's climb and set up our tents. Three days of smooth climbing had boosted the morale and spirit of the entire herb-collecting team.
Murong Xiao stood outside the tent, feeling the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero. To be honest, such a temperature was too warm for a peak over 8,000 meters high. However, looking towards the summit, which was not far away from them, he always felt a little uneasy.
It was an indescribable feeling, a sixth sense of impending danger that she had developed over the years.
"Xiao'er, what are you looking at?"
Turning around, Murong Xiao saw Qian Yeming in a black robe walking towards her with a smile, and she couldn't help but raise a gentle smile.

Atom was sent to the emergency room this afternoon. I was typing at work this afternoon when I suddenly had a stomachache, and the pain got worse and worse. Even after I vomited, the pain continued. Later, the pain was so severe that my eyes turned black and I couldn't see anything. I wanted to scream for help, but my colleague next door couldn't hear me. So I called someone else's cell phone... woooo... After my colleague sent me to the hospital, the doctor took me straight to the emergency room! It's 9:40 pm now, and I just got back. I'm going to prepare the chapters to be posted in the early morning and go to bed. In the next two or three days, I still have to do a gastroscopy and B-ultrasound. Considering that Atom has not asked for leave or stopped updating, I'm letting you act cute and ask for your recommendation votes~
In addition, more than one friend responded in the comment section that the prince should address himself as "this palace" instead of "this king".
The answer to the question is as follows: The prince usually refers to himself as "I", "I", or "Yu". He can use "I", "I", or "Your Excellency" when addressing the emperor or empress, and "I", "I", "Yu", "Xiao Wang", or "Ben Wang" when addressing servants. "Ben Gong" is generally used in modern TV dramas.
