Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

The little girl was very worried.

Connecting the foot of the mountain to its summit are endless ice steps. The higher you go, the thicker the fog becomes, until the very top disappears into the clouds, its height unknown.

If this falls, we'll have to share it with everyone...

"That is indeed a problem."

Chang Wen wanted to demonstrate flying. But then he saw a warning sign next to the steps that read: This is an area with a high incidence of flight accidents. Flying is prohibited.

He couldn't help but wonder. Could they really walk up such slippery steps? Moreover, he was carrying Shen Nianqing on his back; if they weren't careful, they would end up performing ice ballet.

What should we do?

"Hey! Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss out! Ice platter! Ice platter! Effortless up and down the mountain! One low-grade spirit stone for the whole trip, no cheating!"

Just then, a beautiful woman appeared and started enthusiastically hawking her wares.

"Sir, you don't need to shout so loudly. We can hear you."

Chang Wen leaned back, almost deafened by the noise.

"Hehe, isn't this just to let you experience the warmth of Snow Lotus Peak?"

The beautiful woman looked at Chang Wen and professionally promoted her product, "You can't fly on Snow Lotus Peak; if you want to get to the summit, you have to walk up. There's a risk of falling. But riding on the ice plate is different."

After saying that, she took out an ice platter slightly larger than a dining plate and continued her introduction, "This has a special formation unique to our Snow Lotus Peak. As long as someone sits on it, they will automatically slide up the ice steps, which is both effortless and efficient. How about it, would you like to take a ride?"

"sit."

Chang Wen readily pulled out his spirit stones. He had been worrying about how to get up there, and this opportunity had come to him like a godsend. It was truly a case of timing being just in time. Moreover, this was a rare investment opportunity, and he wouldn't waste it.

The beautiful woman took the spirit stone and tossed the ice plate in her hand. The ice plate swelled in the wind and instantly transformed into a lotus platform with a diameter of three meters, exquisitely beautiful.

The beautiful woman attentively guided them, and Lin Yuan and Su Xiaoman went up first. Chang Wen helped Shen Nianqing sit on the ice platter, then settled himself behind her. His bottom was freezing cold.

"Everyone, buckle up, we're about to depart."

The beautiful woman made a hand seal, and a pale blue light shone from the bottom of the ice tray, which slowly rose and slid upwards along the ice steps. It was very smooth.

"While becoming stronger is the main theme of life, the beautiful scenery along the way should not be missed."

Looking at the ice crystal pavilion he had never seen before, Chang Wen felt a sense of openness and was moved to speak.

"So beautiful."

Su Xiaoman exclaimed repeatedly from the side, clearly having forgotten about the invincible fighter.

As the ice plate rises, the view gradually opens up.

The hazy clouds dispersed, revealing the full view of Snow Lotus Peak. The ice trees covering the mountain were covered with transparent ice flowers, crystal clear and translucent.

Disciples came and went in an endless stream, numbering no less than several hundred as far as the eye could see.

"This is the true holy land for cultivating immortality."

Chang Wen sighed, wishing there were so many people on Haoran Peak. He could have thrown himself into the water too.

"Young master, you may not know this, but these few days are the important days of the Snow Lotus Peak Competition."

The beautiful woman was very enthusiastic and explained, "Not only disciples from Snow Lotus Peak, but also many disciples from other peaks come to observe the ceremony. I've made more than ten trips a day."

"Peak ratio?"

Chang Wen was surprised.

"yes."

The beautiful woman couldn't stop talking once she started, "The Snow Lotus Peak Competition is held every five years, and everyone from ordinary disciples to holy sons has to participate. I heard that the rewards this year are more generous than in previous years, and they've brought out all their most treasured possessions."

"What hidden treasure?"

Upon hearing the word "baby," Su Xiaoman, who had been looking around, was instantly drawn to it.

"I don't know. But there's something that's being talked about all over Snow Lotus Peak."

The beautiful woman lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "The Nine Yang True Phoenix's Nirvana Fire Seed. The Nine Yang True Phoenix is ​​an ancient divine beast. Legend has it that its Nirvana Fire can burn everything and also reshape everything; it is a priceless treasure."

"Can anyone compete for this?"

Since he had nothing better to do, Chang Wen casually asked.

"No, that's not it. Only the top few in the competition are qualified to compete. But everyone knows in their hearts that this flame is most likely prepared for that person."

"That's what the beautiful woman said."

Chang Wen, slightly curious, pressed further, "Who is it?"

"Who else could it be but the Holy Son of Snow Lotus Peak?"

"The Holy Son Ning Wushuang possesses the innate bloodline of the Ice Phoenix. He was the number one in the previous peak competition, and this time he aims to defend his title and seize the treasure."

"But that's not necessarily true. After all, the Nine Yang True Phoenix Nirvana Flame is no ordinary thing; it might only appear once every few hundred years, so no one would give it up easily."

Chang Wen nodded, but didn't delve any further.

If nothing unexpected happens, this thing is definitely not for him; he can just listen to it for fun.

……

About half an hour later, Chang Wen and his companions arrived at their destination, Tranquil Lake.

The lake was thousands of feet in size, its surface completely still. The sky was reflected in it like a mirror.

The water is crystal clear, and you can see schools of fish swimming in it. In the middle of the lake is a floating cabin, said to be the place where the Snow Lotus Peak Master attained enlightenment.

"Masters always prefer to live in seclusion."

Chang Wen smiled, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting towards the small house, and said, "Aunt Xue, Chang Wen, a disciple of Haoran Peak, has come to pay a visit."

"What is it?"

A sound came from the small house. Although it was very far away, it sounded as if it were right in front of you, making you feel intimidated.

"Junior Sister Shen Nianqing is suffering from a strange illness. We hope Aunt Xue can lend a helping hand."

Chang Wen didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

"I can help, but I have one condition. Once I cure her illness, she must become my disciple."

The voice came again.

Chang Wen was stunned.

It's just treating an illness, why are you trying to poach my staff?

"Aunt Xue, this matter is of great importance and requires my master's consent. But if you are willing to treat Nianqing, I am willing to offer you a generous reward."

Chang Wen expressed his attitude.

The next moment, a figure walked out of the small house and arrived in front of Chang Wen in an instant.

The newcomer was dressed in a pure white fairy dress, with white hair cascading down like a waterfall, and a face of ethereal beauty. A faint, otherworldly aura emanated from her.

It was Xue Wuqing, the peak master of Snow Lotus Peak.

[Name: Xue Wuqing]

[Age/Height/Weight: 35616 years old/175cm/60kg]

[Identity: Peak Master of Snow Lotus Peak]

[Realm Level: Mahayana Realm, Eighth Level.]

[Spiritual Root, Top-Grade Ice Spiritual Root.]

[Physical constitution: None.]

[Favorability, 96/100]

[System evaluation: A tragic figure who, despite being in love, chooses to cultivate a heartless path.]

"I didn't realize Aunt Xue was over 30,000 years old. She's really well-preserved."

This wasn't the first time Chang Wen had met her.

More than twenty years ago, before Chen Changsheng joined Haoran Peak, Haoran Peak consisted only of him and Fairy Biyou.

Xue Wuqing often comes to visit.

She had a good relationship with Fairy Biyou, and would occasionally tease him when she was in a good mood. The two addressed each other as aunt and niece.

Later, Chen Changsheng joined Haoran Peak, and Biyou Fairy traveled around for many years, and Xue Wuqing also stopped coming often.

I come here about every six months to see how he's doing and to provide him with some basic living support.

Later, Shen Nianqing joined Haoran Peak. Xue Wuqing, perhaps recognizing her physique, tried several times to take her as a disciple, but Shen Nianqing refused. Finally, as a second choice, he allowed Shen Nianqing to study at Xuelian Peak, where she remains to this day.

"A generous reward? Your aunt paid for all your baby formula when you were little, what reward can you possibly give her?"

Xue blinked indifferently, revealing a hint of worldly wisdom, but also a touch of doubt.

Chang Wen was someone she had watched grow up, and she knew his capabilities very well. How could he have advanced from a mortal to the Foundation Establishment stage in just a few months?

However, since Chang Wen was Biyou Fairy's disciple, she quickly attributed the reason to Biyou Fairy giving Chang Wen special tutoring, without delving into the details.

Chang Wen...

He's already twenty-six, not a child. Besides, he has younger fellow students around him; how could you joke like that with him?

"Aunt Xue, getting her medical attention is the most important thing. If anything happens to Nianqing, how can you still be her teacher?"

Chang Wen quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"Put her down."

Xue Wuqing didn't say anything more, her gaze fixed on Shen Nianqing, her expression serious.

Chang Wen did as instructed and put Shen Nianqing down.

"Her constitution is very special; it is an extremely rare Yin constitution."

Xue Wuqing slowly spoke, "This kind of physique has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that cultivation is extremely fast, making it extremely rare. The disadvantage is also significant, namely, it can cause backlash."

"All things guard Yin and embrace Yang. Only when Yin and Yang are balanced and complementary can they conform to the way of Heaven and Earth. The extremely Yin body is very domineering, and Yang energy cannot get close to it at all. Therefore, too much Yin energy has accumulated in her body, which has formed Yin evil power that backfires on her. It is very difficult to solve."

After saying that, she grasped Shen Nianqing's wrist to check on her.

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to find a way. Aunt Xue, please tell us."

Chang Wen didn't hesitate at all. Shen Nianqing was a little girl he had watched grow up, and he wouldn't let anything happen to her.

Shen Nianqing was slightly taken aback, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

"There is indeed a solution."

Xue Wuqing lowered her gaze, "The only way to cure the extreme Yin constitution is to use the most Yang energy of heaven and earth to neutralize the Yin energy accumulated in its body."

At this point, she looked at Chang Wen and said, "My Snow Lotus Peak happens to have something called the Nine Yang True Phoenix Nirvana Flame Seed. If Nianqing were to consume it and then refine it completely, she might actually benefit from this misfortune and further improve her aptitude."

Chang Wen's eyes lit up slightly; Nian Qing was saved!
