However, there was no rush for this matter. He had quite a few materials on hand, but he was still a bit short on what he needed to craft high-grade items.
He couldn't just ask Mingxi for them again, could he?
...
The next day, Mingxi and Lin Chen, along with the other two, left the underground fortress.
"Xiao Xi, where did you get this map? Someone actually managed to map out Wanmo Territory?"
Because of the Light Dance Dyeing Moon, Chen Xin was in an exceptionally good mood. Her voice was sweet, as if coated in honey, when she asked the question.
She had completely transformed from a cool older sister to a sweet girl.
"Before I came to Wanmo Territory, I sought out a pathfinder. Unfortunately, that person was crippled, but she did give me this map."
Yuan Qing was indeed an excellent pathfinder.
The terrain of Wanmo Territory was not just complex; it was extremely complex.
Because wild Transcendent creatures would riot during the full moon, the terrain here often changed as a result. Furthermore, some dangerous areas were a death trap for Beast Tamers, making it impossible to draw a detailed map.
Oh, and the existence of various types of teleportation arrays was also one of the sources of the complex terrain.
These teleportation arrays could be considered a characteristic feature of Wanmo Territory.
Though called arrays, they were actually more like unstable spatial rifts that appeared and teleported randomly.
But because the distance of the rift aisle was very short, it closely resembled teleportation.
Yuan Qing was able to map out Wanmo Territory on her own, even roughly sketching out some forbidden dangerous zones.
She even meticulously marked what materials were abundant in certain areas.
"This pathfinder is amazing! We found the eight extremes nether blood lotus near this Osprey Pond, and she even knew about that!"
Lin Chen also sighed, "If only we had found such a powerful pathfinder back then, our mission would probably have been completed much earlier."
Mingxi smiled, "Not necessarily. The eight extremes nether blood lotus needs to bloom before it can be picked, and it's also a solitary species with a long growth period. So even if you had found it earlier, you would probably have had to guard it nearby and wait for it to bloom."
Solitary species refers to a situation where only one individual of a certain species exists in a given area, meaning absolute exclusivity.
"You're right, I was too focused on the obvious."
"Xiao Xi, are we going to Wangyue Lake then?"
"Yes."
Mingxi nodded. According to Yuan Qing, they had seen the Nine Gods Temple near Wangyue Lake back then.
She didn't know where her father had disappeared, but if he was truly still alive, the highest possibility was that he was in the Nine Gods Temple.
That is, if the legend of the Nine Gods Temple was true.
And if the Nine Gods Temple didn't exist, or if her father wasn't in the Nine Gods Temple, then the chances of him ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) still being alive...
Forget it.
So Mingxi had decided from the very beginning that her first destination would be Wangyue Lake.
Mingxi looked at the three of them, "To enter Wangyue Lake, we need to pass through Tower Killing and Bloodless Despair Abyss, two extremely dangerous zones where death is almost certain. Are you really sure you want to come with me?"
Lin Chen and the other two nodded without hesitation. There was no way they would let Mingxi search for her father in Wanmo Territory alone.
"Alright then, let's go!"
Mingxi also didn't try to persuade them further.
...
Outside the Tower Killing danger zone was a hundred-meter-wide ice river called Jin Shui River. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
The Jin Shui River was home to a large number of ice-elemental Transcendent creatures called Frost Crystal Spirits, known as the ice spirits of the Eternal Winter Realm. They were cute and delicate in appearance and could only live in environments below -50℃.
Their nests were extremely special, constructed from a type of ice-attributed energy fruit called Snow Crystal Fruit. Their living presence not only prevented the Snow Crystal Fruit from shriveling or rotting but could also potentially nurture a special heavenly treasure, the winter ice crystal.
The winter ice crystal could purify the attribute level of fire-elemental Transcendent creatures.
That's right, fire-elemental.
Because of attribute counteraction, a specific reverse-promoting effect was achieved.
Lan Yue Bright Crystal's ice attribute level had already reached perfect Yuan Jing, but her fire attribute was still slightly lacking compared to Yuan Jing. This was due to the forced improvement she received in the Tomb complex last time.
Otherwise, the gap between the two would be even larger.
After all, the Time Realm had an ice pool, but no fire pool.
For a Transcendent creature with such dual opposing attributes, absolute balance between the two attributes was necessary for long-term safety and to prevent it from affecting its growth and evolution.
So, the winter ice crystal was a good thing, something I desired.
When she saw the information marked on Yuan Qing's map, Mingxi's desire to dismantle things instantly surged, even though what she was dismantling was the home of wild Transcendent creatures.
But they probably wouldn't mind. As long as there were enough Snow Crystal Fruits, how many homes could they not have?
Right?
(*¯△¯* ;)
"Little Silver Flower, let that Frost Crystal Spirit go. Its home has already been plucked bald by you. Don't torment it anymore."
Chu Fengfeng saw Little Silver Flower still persistently chasing and teasing a Frost Crystal Spirit and couldn't help but feel pity for the poor little guy.
It was too miserable.
Its home was gone, its house collapsed, and its fur was even stripped bare.
Little Silver Flower clearly didn't like listening to others and was indifferent to Chu Fengfeng's advice, still pulling on the little pitiful creature's head fur.
Chu Fengfeng was ignored.
Mingxi, who was diligently engaged in the great task of house demolition, smiled, leaned close to his ear, and sincerely suggested, "Phoenix Uncle, you try..."
Chu Fengfeng instantly understood.
He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Cute, beautiful, noble, elegant, loved by everyone, adored by flowers, the most beautiful hair in the world, Yinhua Great Fairy Ultimate Magic Celestial, ignore that ugly monster. Look at you, your beautiful silver hair is all messy."
Before he finished speaking.
Little Silver Flower, who was originally pulling on the Frost Crystal Spirit's crystal-like shimmering hair, had her pink pupils sparkling, and looked excitedly at Chu Fengfeng.
This man, besides her sister, was the first person to accurately and proactively call out her 'grand name'.
"Luo?"
Chu Fengfeng's pet, the Blazing Squirrel, translated thoughtfully.
Chu Fengfeng immediately nodded, "Really, your silver hair is the most beautiful in the world."
"Luo."
Little Silver Flower raised her paw at him, indicating that he had good taste.
Then she finally let go of the poor Frost Crystal Spirit.
Mingxi helplessly shook her head. Her Little Silver Flower was indeed jealous that the Frost Crystal Spirit's hair looked better than hers.
However, that Frost Crystal Spirit's hair was indeed beautiful. That hair was more exquisite and beautiful than a work of art.
Sigh.
She glanced at Black Pearl, who was smashing ice nearby, trying to go ice fishing...
Sigh!
Rebellious, what a headache. freёweɓnovel.com
"Zhen Gua."
I found the winter ice crystal!
Bright Crystal walked over, holding a translucent crystal fruit as big as its head, and offered it to Mingxi as if presenting a treasure.
It very domineeringly indicated, "For you!"
Mingxi dazedly took the huge crystal fruit.
This was the winter ice crystal?
It couldn't be. She hadn't heard that the winter ice crystal was this... size.
Guangguang suddenly let out a sharp shriek.
"Master!!!!"
"Put down that fruit! That's a Desire Cold Treasure!"
Mingxi's brow twitched violently.
