The temperature when the ice lotus blooms is not just low, it's extremely low. As he got closer and closer to the blooming ice lotus, Shushu felt as if he were gradually approaching an extremely frozen ice cave.
Even though she had made many preparations, Huo Yi was still clinging to her collar, constantly giving her warmth, but Shushu was still shivering all over from the cold, her lips turned purple, and her limbs stiffened.
Even his eyebrows were covered in frost without him realizing it, and it was spreading. Shushu could only desperately try to circulate the spiritual energy in his body to remove the frost, lest he be frozen into an ice sculpture.
Finally, despite the pressure and the cold, she arrived at the ice lotus. Without the slightest hesitation, she used her stiff hands to swiftly pluck the ice lotus seeds with all her might.
The moment her hand truly touched the ice lotus seed, Shushu felt an unfathomable chill that seemed to seep into her very being, following her fingers.
If she hadn't already mobilized the power of Huo Yi and the Phoenix Flame she had previously subdued to protect herself, the chill would probably have already taken over her heart meridian by now.
Thinking of this, Shushu's eyes narrowed, and he quickened his pace, picking one ice lotus seed after another and placing them into the jade box that had been prepared beforehand.
Only after all the ice lotus seeds had been picked did Shushu breathe a sigh of relief. He then used his spiritual power to quickly pluck the withering ice lotus flowers and put them away. He then quickly dug up a few more ice lotus flowers from the cold pool and threw them into his spatial storage.
He quickly retreated from the icy pool, wrapped himself in thick warm clothes, and swallowed several healing pills.
She asked Huo Yi to help guard the Dharma, while she herself slowly repaired her hands, which had been frostbitten from picking the ice lotus seeds with her bare hands.
Unfortunately, the Ice Lotus Seed is a delicate thing; unlike the Ice Lotus Flower and Ice Lotus Plant, it cannot be harvested using spiritual energy.
Ice lotus seeds can only be picked by hand, without the aid of any external objects or spiritual energy, which is the main reason why ice lotus seeds are so precious.
It took Shushu quite a while to adjust his breathing and finally get rid of the lingering chill in his hands, returning them to normal.
After glancing at the few ice lotuses that were still active in the small pool in the snow mountain space and had not lost their vitality, Shushu gave up on the idea of taking the cold pool.
After taking one last look at the cold pool and confirming that there were no other spiritual plants around, she returned the way she came, released Tianluo and Jiuruo again, and continued walking deeper into the snow mountain.
During this time, Shushu also tried to contact Lu Li, but no matter what method she used, she was unable to reach him.
Knowing that she probably wouldn't be able to contact her senior brother for the time being, Shushu stopped pressuring him and calmly continued on her way, searching for various spiritual plants on the snow mountain.
As they ventured deeper into the snow-capped mountains, the surroundings became more lively. At first, they might encounter one or two people, or even one or two beastmen, each day, but later the number of encounters increased significantly.
Of course, the quality of the good stuff on the snow mountain is getting higher and higher. Although none can compare to the Ice Lotus, it is more than enough to compare with the stuff on the previous snow mountains.
But with more people comes more trouble. Shushu has always been very clear about this principle, and he immediately adjusted his approach to things, taking whatever spiritual plants he could get his hands on.
If she truly lacked the ability to take it down, she would stay as far away as possible, never trying to be a hero, and certainly never putting herself in a life-threatening situation.
There was nothing she could do. Apart from her ancestor Shu Chi, none of her powerful backers were around, and Shu Chi was just a soul still recovering. In a real fight, its power would be limited.
"If you can survive, then survive" has been Shushu's recent style of doing things, and he's been sticking invisibility and concealment talismans all over himself like they're free.
These talismans are all of a fairly high level, and even those with weak perception can generally fool some of them when their minds are distracted.
As for anything beyond distraction, Shushu has never encountered it, nor does he want to.
Therefore, thanks to his superb hiding skills, Shushu was able to watch quite a few good shows from the shadows, including framing, killing each other, betrayal and ambush.
Several times, he successfully took advantage of these people's arguments to secretly steal things and then immediately made a getaway.
By the time those people realized what was happening, Shushu had already run far away. In addition, she had put the items in her own space, so very few people could detect them, let alone follow the scent.
However, this is not foolproof.
On this day, amidst the chaos, one group of human cultivators fought with the guardian beasts, while two other groups clashed over the ownership of the Snowbell Grass.
She used the same trick again, stealthily taking the snowbells and then making a quick getaway.
After running for the distance of several snow-capped mountains, based on his previous experience, Shushu felt it was enough and relaxed a little.
Unexpectedly, half a day later, just as Shushu and his friends found a very secluded place and were quietly eating,
The snow bear guarding the snowbells actually caught up with them!! It wasn't until they were only half a mountain away from each other that the snow bear realized it was chasing them.
Seeing the snow bear with a cultivation level of mid-stage Nascent Soul, even though there were no human cultivators following behind it, Shushu was still startled.
Knowing he was no match for them, Shushu quickly called his friends, stuck several acceleration stickers on Wan Jiuruo's body, and ran away as fast as his pants were on fire.
Seeing this, the snow bear behind her immediately accelerated and chased after her with all its might. It chased her, but she had no chance of escaping.
Shushu had considered using a teleportation talisman, but by now they had already reached the middle of the snow mountain.
Moreover, the space here is extremely unstable, and Mao Mao Ran's use of the teleportation talisman would be even more dangerous for them.
Therefore, before the snow bear caused them any real harm, Shushu had no intention of taking the risk.
However, the snow bear's perseverance was far stronger than Shushu had anticipated. It chased them for a whole day and night without showing any sign of stopping.
Shushu could only manage to avoid being caught up and pinned down by simultaneously applying speed-up talismans to Jiu Ruo and feeding her pills to replenish her spiritual energy.
Several times during this time, because they were too close, the sheep bit the bottoms of both Shushu and Jiuruo, making them scream and eat several pills.
At times like these, Huo Yi and Tian Luo have to work together, one burning the nose and the other whipping the head, to save Shu Shu and Jiu Ruo's buttocks.
It was a little heartbreaking, yet inexplicably funny. Shushu and the others were chased all over the mountain by this snow bear, encountering many people and beasts along the way.
But the snow bear was fixated on Shushu, oblivious to everything else, and focused solely on chasing Shushu and his group, leaving Shushu and his companions without sleep for three days and three nights, suffering terribly.
In the end, even when the little potato was about to return the snowbells, the snow bear refused to accept them and insisted on chasing the little potato as it ran ahead.
As soon as Shushu and the others stop, it will rush up and bite their buttocks, driving Shushu crazy and making her miss Lu Li terribly.
Meanwhile, Lu Li, who was being missed by Shushu, was also thinking about Shushu.
