This was also the first time Ji Jiuying had ever detoxified a demon. Because humans and demons are different, she had to add a few drops of demon blood when making the antidote.
Following the steps of the Heavenly Manual one by one, after a long while, a crisp "poof" sound rang out, and Ji Jiuying was overjoyed—it was done! There were actually three.
They took out a container they had prepared beforehand and put the antidote inside.
The eeriness of the room was broken by Ji Jiuying's arrival!
"Here you go. You only need to take one of the pills inside! And this is a recovery pill, which should be of some use to your injuries." Ji Jiuying placed the pills in Qinghu's hand. "The city is heavily guarded right now. After you're cured, recover as quickly as possible and find a way to leave. The city lord hasn't given up on you yet."
"Thank you!" Qinghu took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
"No need to be polite. After all, I've already received your consultation fee. I'll reserve this room for now, but you can decide for yourself whether you want it or not."
"Okay," Qinghu said, watching her departing figure.
She was determined to help him to the end, but one day in the future, Ji Jiuying regretted it, regretting that she shouldn't have saved this man in the first place.
After leaving the inn, the group set off again to climb the snow mountain. As noon approached, more and more people headed towards the summit.
There are restrictions on the snow-capped mountains; no spirit beasts or flying vehicles can fly there, and one can only climb on foot.
"Come on, everyone, take a few Windwalking Pills. That way we can walk faster and won't get so tired." Ji Jiuying handed a bottle of Windwalking Pills to each of them.
"Miss, it's true that going faster makes me less tired," Qingling said in surprise.
"Little Nine, did you refine this pill yourself?" Feng Che asked. He knew that the purity of the pill was extremely high, and there were very few alchemists in the Heavenly Domain Continent who could refine pills with the highest purity.
"Yes, Second Uncle, you can ask me to refine any pills you need in the future!" Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!"
Feng Che responded proudly. If the Fifth Prince knew how outstanding Lan'er's daughter was, he would probably be overjoyed.
Before they knew it, the group had reached the mountainside. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up from the snow-capped mountain, followed by mountain fog.
The group was shocked.
"Quickly find a place with rocks or a depression to hide!" Ye Qingchen shouted in alarm.
At this moment, the area was shrouded in thick fog, to the point where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Ji Jiuying immediately took out the Xuanming Mirror and said, "Everyone, hold hands and come with me quickly. There seems to be a cave over there."
Ignoring their embarrassment, the group quickly did as instructed. The journey, which should have taken only a few minutes, took more than ten minutes in the thick fog and strong winds before they finally arrived at the cave that Ji Jiuying had mentioned.
The fog inside the cave wasn't too thick, and visibility was about ten meters. But before the group could even catch their breath, it seemed like hundreds of eyes were staring at them from inside the cave.
"There's something inside the cave, everyone be careful," Feng Che said sternly, standing in front of Ji Jiuying.
Ji Jiuying conjured a ball of fire, illuminating the area around the cave. Inside the cave, pairs of cold, gleaming eyes stared at Ji Jiuying and the others.
Seeing this, pairs of cold eyes gradually approached the group. Qingling swallowed hard and instinctively hid behind Yingyue.
After a while, Ji Jiuying and the others finally saw the true form of those eyes, realizing that they had stumbled into the snow wolf's den.
The hundreds of snow wolves did not stop. They grinned, revealing their gleaming teeth, their eyes filled with ferocity, as if they wanted to drive away these intruders.
They hadn't wandered in unintentionally; the strong winds and thick fog outside made it impossible for them to get out.
The two sides remained deadlocked. Ji Jiuying had a sudden inspiration and had Qingling release the Purple Lightning Leopard. The Purple Lightning Leopard, which was about two meters tall, was three times the size of a snow wolf. The suppression of its bloodline caused a group of snow wolves to instantly lie down on the ground.
The cold, fierce light in his eyes just now turned into a gentle and obedient one.
"Wow~ Little Purple is amazing!" Qingling exclaimed in surprise.
The Purple Lightning Leopard couldn't help but feel a little proud when it heard someone praising it.
Lian Qingcheng turned her head to look at Ji Jiuying. Even her maid had a magical beast? What kind of incredible luck did she have?
Ye Qingchen never expected that the Purple Lightning Leopard she had reserved that night was actually for her maid.
"Qingchen, did you follow this route when you looked for Gu Qingfeng before?" Ji Jiuying asked.
"No, we're going to the Snow Palace on the snow-capped mountain."
"Snow Palace? Could there be a palace on this snow mountain?" Ji Jiuying asked in confusion.
"Hmm~ This Snow Palace was built by Qingfeng, but only the city lord, I, Qingfeng, know the entrance to this Snow Palace."
This far northern capital does not belong to the three great powers. This city lord is the king of the far northern capital. How could he allow an outsider to build a palace on the snow mountain?
"What is the relationship between the city lord of this far northern capital and Gu Qingfeng?"
"It's alright, I'm not entirely sure why either." Ye Qingchen had asked Gu Qingfeng before, but Gu Qingfeng avoided the topic, so Ye Qingchen didn't dwell on it too much.
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying knew there was definitely something fishy going on.
During the conversation, the wind outside had stopped, and the fog had dissipated considerably.
Ji Jiuying quickly searched her space for some planks and ropes, and with a few quick movements, a large sled was completed.
"Miss, what is this?"
Not only Qingling, but the others also looked at Ji Jiuying with confusion.
"This is called a sled. We'll ride this up the mountain later." Ji Jiuying put her hands on her hips and nodded with satisfaction as she looked at the half-finished sled on the ground.
This was the first time Ye Qingchen had seen her with such poise, and he couldn't help but find her inexplicably charming and adorable.
"Little Sister Jiu, how do we get up the snow mountain?" Lian Qingcheng looked at the thing on the ground with a puzzled expression. This thing didn't look like a magical artifact; it looked more like a chair made of ordinary wooden planks!
"Want to know?" Ji Jiuying asked with a smile.
The group nodded in agreement.
"Get on first, then I'll tell you."
Qingling was the first to sit in the first row, and Lian Qingcheng followed suit. The boys sat in the second row, which just fit four of them.
Ji Jiuying sat down next to Qingling, turned her head to look at the snow wolves inside, and said, "If you don't want to die, hurry up and come out and pull the cart."
Everyone then realized what was going on.
Seeing this, the snow wolves inside looked at each other and finally stepped forward to put the ropes around their necks and forearms.
The snow wolf pulled the sled swiftly across the snow, and the feeling of not having to walk was simply amazing.
The spiritual practitioners on the snow-capped mountain saw something fly by quickly in the distance, and when they saw it clearly, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped!
That's it! That's a snow wolf!
The snow wolf was pulling several people behind it!
Who is this person? How can they command so many snow wolves?! Could it be the city lord?
"Wow~ So fast! Miss, you're so clever!" Qingling cheerfully raised her hands, feeling the wind and snow.
"Of course, don't you know who your young lady is?" Ji Jiuying had a fluffy snowball in her arms without her noticing.
