Upon hearing that Wen Jianxi had disappeared, Lu Li and Shushu were somewhat surprised, yet it also seemed to make sense.
What was unexpected was that Wen Jianxi could still escape under such circumstances, but what made sense was that Wen Jianxi had a spirit with many tricks up its sleeve, so it wasn't surprising that it could take her away.
Thinking of the artifact spirit, Shushu couldn't help but think of the stock it had. Then, considering Wen Jianxi's luck, Shushu felt that it was best for them not to be discovered.
So Shushu's eyes lit up, and he immediately suggested to Lu Li, "Senior Brother, let's change our outfits."
"I need to change my clothes and hide my identity so I can do more things behind the scenes," Potato thought to himself.
Seeing Shushu's eyes darting around, Lu Li instantly understood what she wanted to do. He was pleased to see her being so clever for once and agreed without hesitation.
Then, the senior and junior disciples quickly took a high-grade disguise pill each and adjusted their concealment technique.
In no time, the senior and junior disciples transformed into an ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivator and a thorny flame sunflower.
Yes, it's the Spiny Flame Sunflower. The millet plant transformed itself into a Spiny Flame Sunflower, the kind covered in thorns that can launch a disfiguring attack at any time.
After all, Shushu has quite a few thorns from the Spiny Flame Sunflower, so there's no need to worry about running out or giving herself away.
Lu Li didn't say anything about it, but simply silently added several layers of shields to himself.
He didn't want to spend seven days looking awful; he was very conscious of his image.
Ugh~ I don't know how there could be such a terrible spiritual plant as the Spiny Flame Sunflower in this world. Just thinking about it makes my teeth ache.
It seems that when he goes back, he will have to find a way to get his second uncle to study the Flaming Sunflower more and try to develop an antidote.
After all, ever since the head of the affairs hall was pricked by the kids and swelled up for seven days, the affairs hall's exchange list has been filled with the thorns of the thorny sunflower.
The manager went to the back mountain to bring back a lot of Spiny Flame Palms, which were then cultivated and planted. The Spiny Flame Palms have a lot of thorns.
Not only that, after this incident, the manager strongly suggested that the sect's punishment hall add another punishment method, which was to stab Yan Kui's thorns.
Nowadays, people with unsightly appearances occasionally drift by in the Liuyue Sect.
There's nothing we can do about it. No matter how high-level the spirit beast or the pill, it's all a nobody in front of this thing. They can only expand for seven days before their medicinal effects dissipate.
As a result, the beasts fight less often these days, for fear of being punished.
Back to the present, Shushu had no idea that he had simply changed his form, yet his senior brother had already come up with so many divergent thoughts.
Seeing that he had added several layers of shields to himself, she looked at him strangely for a few moments.
When she met his slightly guilty expression, Shushu finally understood that he was afraid of being pricked by the thorny sunflower.
So, having figured it out, the sweet potato stopped trying to burrow into his clothes and instead wrapped itself around his wrist, with its flower head facing outwards.
She clearly told Lu Li that she would be very careful and wouldn't stab him.
Seeing this, Lu Li touched his nose somewhat guiltily, but the fellow disciples quickly put it aside and got busy.
After confirming that their disguises were flawless, the two senior and junior siblings quickly swept through the entire Snow Palace, leaving behind many hidden pitfalls.
Finally, the senior and junior disciples left a secret code of the Flowing Moon Sect at the entrance of the Snow Palace to prevent any beasts of the Flowing Moon Sect from accidentally wandering in and suffering losses.
They quickly left to find the three who were probably still fighting.
Lu Li and Shushu were unaware that not long after they left, Wen Jianxi also staggered and appeared not far from the Snow Palace, gradually approaching.
Before long, she arrived at the gate of the Snow Palace, the place where Lu Li and Shushu had taken the Dark Flame Leaf. However, all traces of their existence here had been erased.
At this moment, Wen Jianxi stood in front of the magnificent Snow Palace. She first wiped her face to make sure she wasn't seeing things, and then her eyes suddenly flashed with light.
Then, as if remembering something, Wen Jianxi looked greedily into the Snow Palace: This must be the Snow Spirit's palace that the artifact spirit sensed.
Thinking of Xue Ling, Wen Jianxi recalled what she had just said: as long as she devoured Xue Ling, the spirit's injuries would heal considerably, and she would be able to freely enter and exit the space again.
Instantly, Wen Jianxi felt much of the gloom she had felt along the way dissipate, and her heart was no longer heavy. Instead, she felt an eagerness to go in and take Xue Ling's things right now.
She felt that all she had gained along the way was to obtain Xue Ling.
Heaven truly favors her; she is indeed a woman of destiny, Wen Jianxi proudly consoled herself.
However, thinking about her previous situation, she still felt a sense of fear.
Therefore, even though Wen Jianxi desperately wanted to rush in right now, she forcibly held back.
After calming herself down, Wen Jianxi carefully pushed open the Snow Palace door, sending the aura of the Snow Palace into the space so that the artifact spirit could continue to guide her.
There was no other way; the spirit was severely injured and unable to open the space or even sense the outside world. Since she couldn't perceive Xue Ling, this was the only option.
Unexpectedly, she sent her breath in for quite a while, but did not hear a reply.
Wen Jianxi grew anxious and couldn't help but urge, "Lingling, are you sure Xue Ling isn't inside?"
As she finished speaking, Wen Jianxi's voice trembled slightly. Could it be that this Snow Palace wasn't the same? Or was Lingling asleep again? Wen Jianxi was very uneasy.
Fortunately, her worries were unnecessary. Not long after she asked the question, the spirit answered affirmatively, but its tone was very weak, and it seemed as if it was about to dissipate at any moment.
"This should be it. The aura of the Snow Spirit is extremely strong inside. Alright, take these things and catch a Snow Spirit for me as soon as possible; I can't hold on much longer."
After speaking, the spirit's voice disappeared, and Wen Jianxi found herself with a storage ring in her hand, which was clearly the one the spirit had said it would give her.
Seeing this, Wen Jianxi's eyes welled up with tears. As she quickly put away her storage ring, she assured it, "Okay, I know, Lingling, don't worry, I will definitely catch Xue Ling."
However, the spirit did not respond to her words.
Wen Jianxi was startled. She carefully sensed the spirit for a while and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the spirit had simply fallen asleep again.
Then, she took out a talisman from her storage ring, activated it, and stuck it on her body before cautiously walking inside, praying that nothing unexpected would happen.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Her prayers were ineffective. Just as Wen Jianxi arrived at the main hall and was about to open it, she was suddenly blasted away and thrown out of the Snow Palace.
