188: Acquiring the Snow Lotus, Continuing Deeper
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these days, Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin tirelessly traveled to various locations where Snow Crystal Stones or Snow God Lotuses might appear.
Along the way, they killed countless Star Beasts within the Snow Burial Plain and even collected seven Master Grade Star Cores; the rest were over a hundred.
Even so, every time they returned disappointed.
They started their search from the southwest entrance and now had almost reached the eastern depths of the Secret Realm.
“This snow peak group is already the last resource point. These are all resource points marked by the Dragon Sect over the years. If there’s nothing here, it will be tough to find anything…”
Su Yuan looked around the snow peaks and glanced at Situ Qingyin beside him.
Even if there were something at this last resource point, it could only be Snow God Lotus and not the Snow Crystal Stone that Situ Qingyin needed.
However, Situ Qingyin did not let her disappointment show on her face. Instead, she looked around, carefully observing the surrounding snow peaks.
At this moment, Situ Qingyin’s eyes suddenly lit up with intense joy.
“Su Yuan, look over there!”
Situ Qingyin ran forward a few steps and pointed towards a high snow peak in the distance.
“Snow God Lotus, it’s the Snow God Lotus!”
Su Yuan followed Situ Qingyin’s direction and saw, at the edge of a cliff near the mountain top, a pure white lotus flower that sparkled like snow.
“It really is the Snow God Lotus!”
Su Yuan felt a bit pleased, almost thinking their efforts would be in vain, but they found the Snow God Lotus at this last marked spot!
The Snow God Lotus bloomed on the precipice, about two thousand meters high.
However, for Su Yuan, this was nothing, as Elemental Magnetism Pressure theoretically allowed unlimited elevation.
“Be careful. I’ll go up and take a look.”
Su Yuan called out to Situ Qingyin and then ascended towards the Snow God Lotus.
“The higher I go, the colder it gets.”
With Su Yuan’s constitution, he had to release his Star Power to ward off the cold when he reached a thousand meters.
Not long after, Su Yuan reached the Snow God Lotus, took out the Phoenix Perch Saber, and prepared to harvest it.
But just then, Su Yuan sensed something. He turned his head to see two massive Green-faced Snow Eagles swiftly swooping down around the snow peak from both sides!
Green-faced Snow Eagles, with human-like faces and eagle bodies, were Master Star Beasts commonly living in snow mountains.
Their claws were extremely sharp, effortlessly shattering gold, iron, and ice stones; their strength was immense, nearly matching the Eight-Armed Demon Ape’s.
And these two Green-faced Snow Eagles were both Silver High Stage!
Su Yuan remained calm as black light enveloped the Phoenix Perch Saber. He sliced off the Snow God Lotus along with a large chunk of the cliff and stored it in his Space Ring.
Then, silver light flashed in his eyes, and he teleported away.
“Screech!”
The two Snow Eagles crossed paths but suddenly lost sight of Su Yuan, causing them to become frantic.
However, they soon spotted Situ Qingyin below. Instantly, they let out a shrill cry and dove down at high speed!
Seeing the two Silver High Stage Master Snow Eagles diving down, Situ Qingyin instinctively felt a chill and prepared to defend herself.
But then she remembered something and relaxed.
Just as the two Snow Eagles were halfway down, a nearly twenty-meter-long silver hand emerged from the void, catching both eagles in a single sweep.
The next moment, Su Yuan appeared before the silver hand, surrounded by Yellow Flame, reaching out and fiercely clenching his fist!
“Screech!”
The two eagles, sensing imminent death, showed extreme fear on their human-like faces and let out sharp cries. Floods of Ice Star Power burst from their bodies!
However, under the crushing power of Su Yuan’s Yellow Flame Burning Body and Void Splitting Monument Hand, the two Green-faced Snow Eagles barely put up any resistance before being shattered into pieces and falling from mid-air as the silver hand opened.
Su Yuan teleported to Situ Qingyin’s side and apologized, “Sorry, I startled you.”
“It’s okay, I knew you wouldn’t let them get through.” Situ Qingyin smiled, then said, “The best way to preserve the Snow God Lotus is in a jade box. Did you bring one?”
“Yes.”
Su Yuan took out the hastily harvested Snow God Lotus and a pre-prepared jade box.
“Let me do it.”
Situ Qingyin stepped forward, carefully picking the Snow God Lotus from the rock and placing it in the jade box before handing it to Su Yuan.
“Done!” Situ Qingyin stood up and clapped her hands, looking quite pleased. “Luckily, we found the Snow God Lotus at this last resource point. At least we didn’t come back empty-handed. Let’s head back!”
Su Yuan shook his head, “We haven’t found the Snow Crystal Stone yet.”
Situ Qingyin laughed, “If we can’t find it, there’s no need to force it. The Snow Crystal Stone can be substituted.”
“Although it can be replaced, the effect is much inferior to the original, right?”
