We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Kunlun Mountain, the ancestor of all mountains.

As a thousand-year-old snake demon, Bai Suzhen was not unfamiliar with such a title, and she was well aware that the rumors and gossip about Kunlun Mountain were even more exaggerated than she had imagined.

As for the dangers of Kunlun Mountain, although she had never experienced them herself, the various rumors she had heard had already instilled in her a certain fear of the ancestor of all mountains.

Let alone going to the Kunlun Mountains?
However, the thought of Xu Xian, whose life was hanging by a thread, filled Bai Suzhen's heart once again with courage and love. Since it all started because of her, it was naturally up to her to resolve it.

"I'll light a plate of incense on this Boshan incense burner to see you off, young lady," said the owner of Baoqingfang. Before Bai Suzhen could react, he brought his pipe to the burner and lit the incense.

After completing this process.

"Hehe." The owner of Baoqing Workshop stood up, chuckled twice, and looked around Bai Suzhen. Not seeing what he wanted to see, he asked in confusion:

"Why is the precious hairpin I crafted for you no longer with you? Kunlun Mountain is a very dangerous place for you."

"So be it." With that, the owner of Baoqing Workshop sighed helplessly, then went to the garbage heap behind and rummaged through it for a while. Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Consider this a loss-making deal. I'll give you a pair of swords as a bonus."

talking.

The owner of Baoqingfang picked up a pair of swords from a pile of garbage with his opium pipe and sped off towards Bai Suzhen like a shot arrow.

Extremely fast.

Without hesitation, Bai Suzhen swiftly and decisively took the pair of swords into her hands, which immediately gleamed with a cold light.

"Buzz..."

The pair of swords trembled twice when they were in her hands, as if recognizing their owner, before returning to stillness.

Upon seeing this, Bai Suzhen took a closer look and saw that the two swords given to her by the owner of Baoqingfang were entirely silver with a dim golden light surrounding the blades, and they were as cold as frost.

Just what she wanted.

However, this gift is a bit too expensive.

With Xu Xian's life hanging by a thread, the fact that the owner of Baoqing Workshop allowed her to use the Boshan Furnace once was enough to exchange for her natal scale.

If you add this pair of swords, the value of that single life-bound scale would far exceed that of the original scale.

but.

What lies behind the owner of Baoqing Workshop isn't a garbage dump at all; it's clearly a mountain of treasures! The value of this Boshan furnace alone is equivalent to a portal to anywhere, its worth is immeasurable.

If Shen Bailian were here, his eyes would light up, and he would do everything he could to put all this garbage into his storage ring.

Because he discovered that not only could the power of merit be transformed into divine matter, but even magical artifacts could.

But it is not without disadvantages.

One drawback is that the magic weapon will become useless; another drawback is that a single magic weapon can only produce a very small amount of divine matter, resulting in extremely low conversion efficiency.

However, its advantage lies in its sheer quantity. Even if most of the magical treasures piled up like mountains in Baoqingfang's courtyard are not of the same quality as those in the Boshan Furnace, they are still enough to generate at least two thousand points of divine matter.

That's equivalent to almost half a skill point.

Just as Bai Suzhen was gazing intently at the pair of swords in her hand, the owner of Baoqing Workshop moved and appeared in front of the astonished Bai Suzhen.

"Whoo~"

She exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, and Bai Suzhen immediately felt a blur before her eyes and heard the whistling wind in her ears. In just a moment, she appeared above a wisp of smoke.

The smoke drifted into the Boshan furnace.

Behind him stood the towering, mountain-like owner of Baoqing Workshop.

It wasn't that the owner of Baoqingfang used the magic of "Heaven and Earth Transformation," but rather that Bai Suzhen's size had been shrunk, and she was already on her way to Kunlun Mountain.

This method is truly terrifying.

It contained a kind of Buddhist kingdom in the palm of one's hand, and even this seemingly insignificant move was enough to show the great strength of the Baoqingfang owner.

The owner of Baoqingfang twirled his pipe, bent down, looked at Bai Suzhen, who was as small as a sesame seed, and whispered his instructions. But to Bai Suzhen, they were like the sound of a great bell, deafening and resounding.

"You only have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn out before the road ends on your journey to Kunlun."

Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen's eyes narrowed sharply. If this path was cut off, Xu Xian's path to survival would likely be cut off as well.

"go."

With a soft shout from Master Baoqing, Bai Suzhen felt as if her body had lost control, rushing along the incense path and flying towards the interior of the Boshan furnace.

The surrounding scenery began to change rapidly, gradually transitioning from the bronze walls of the Boshan furnace to a vast white world, a world of ice and snow.

The world spun around, but everything returned to normal in an instant.

Bai Suzhen looked at the incense burner beneath her feet, and with a sense of unease, she raised her head. Her gaze sharpened slightly, and there, high in the heavens, was a clearly visible incense stick, slowly burning.

When the incense burns out, that's when the road will end.

It's like a countdown.

Seeing this, Bai Suzhen dared not delay any longer. Her gaze swept around and she quickly spotted the immortal herb, which was exceptionally eye-catching amidst the ice and snow.

At the summit of Kunlun, the cold wind howls and the snow is pristine.

Amidst this silver-clad landscape, a magical herb, radiating a soft glow, stands quietly, its leaves glistening and its stem upright, seemingly brimming with boundless life force.

After catching her breath, Bai Suzhen had recovered some of her magical power. The surge of power propelled her rapidly toward the immortal herb.

"To save my husband, I have no choice but to come to Kunlun and gather a piece of the immortal herb. I beg the mountain god for mercy." Bai Suzhen first arrived at the foot of the cliff where the immortal herb grew, and then bowed in respect.

Each immortal herb is a product of the essence of heaven and earth, and some immortal herbs have been absorbing the essence of heaven and earth for thousands of years.

If it weren't for the constraints of heaven and earth that make it extremely difficult for these immortal herbs to develop sentience, and that they would not allow others to touch them at all.

not to mention.

Sacred mountains possess spirits, especially the mountain god of Kunlun Mountain, whose magical power is profound and boundless. Bai Suzhen now needs someone's help, so no matter how anxious she is, she must still perform the proper courtesies.

Whether the mountain god agrees or not is another matter entirely.

After a while.

The mountains were desolate, with nothing but the howling of snow and ice.

Bai Suzhen took a deep breath, her five fingers unconsciously clenching the pair of swords in her hands. Then, with a sudden movement, she rushed up the cliff and came to the side of the immortal herb. She reached out her hand, just about to pick a piece of the immortal herb.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

Bai Suzhen looked at the herb with a hint of astonishment in her eyes. Without suspicion, she immediately distanced herself from it. "Boom! Boom!"

The sound of something cutting through the air echoed continuously in the icy and snowy landscape. The originally crystal-clear leaves transformed into soft limbs, like octopuses emerging from the sea.

Bai Suzhen suppressed her panic and calmly responded, leaping and shifting in the air to dodge the tentacle-like attacks while searching for an opportunity.

at last.

The first to act, the next to act; plan for the best and cut the worst, and you will be victorious in every battle!
In a flash, Bai Suzhen smiled slightly, gathered all her magical power, and shot out like a sharp arrow, seizing the gaps in the branches and leaves that were attacking her. Then she got close and came to the immortal herb once again.

"Shh!"

With a flash of silver light, the immortal herb was instantly severed in two. Its roots remained firmly planted on the cliff face, while the frenzied branches and leaves, deprived of their energy supply, shrank rapidly, quickly returning to their original size.

As the saying goes, all things have a spirit, and one should always leave a way out for others; the same applies to acquiring medicinal herbs.

Bai Suzhen wasn't the only one who rushed to the rescue; many others will follow, and the roots she left behind represent hope for those who come after her.

Bai Suzhen looked at the immortal herb in her hand and breathed a long sigh of relief. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. She finally had the immortal herb, and Xu Xian was saved.

She never expected that the trip would be so easy.

however.

"Susu..."

Bai Suzhen's ears twitched slightly; she sensed danger. Amidst the howling wind and snow, the sound of something cracking rang out and grew louder and louder.

At first, only a small patch of snow on the edge of the cliff loosened slightly.

Immediately afterwards, this subtle change triggered a domino effect, and the entire snow slope above Bai Suzhen's head began to tremble, with snow chunks gradually gathering into a stream and accelerating their descent.

As its speed increased dramatically, the volume of the snow flow expanded rapidly, engulfing everything in its path—rocks, even small ice mounds—all swept up by this unstoppable force.

And they defeated them.

avalanche?

No! wrong!

Amidst the hemorrhage, Bai Suzhen sensed an extremely dangerous aura. This immortal herb was indeed not so easy to obtain; it was likely that the guardian of this immortal herb had made a move.

Without hesitation, she put the magical herb into her bosom, then clenched her fists, grabbed a pair of swords, turned around, and rushed downwards.

"Swish!" "Swish!"

On that cliff face, there were two enormous snowballs, clearly not formed naturally, shooting out in the direction Bai Suzhen had fled.

"What a monster! He's got the guts to come to Kunlun Mountain and steal the immortal herb!" Two angry voices came from the snowball.

Suddenly.

A clear and melodious cry of a crane pierced the sky, like a celestial sound, resonating through the mountains and rivers.

After a long cry, the two snowballs arrived in front of Bai Suzhen, and then, as if driven by an invisible force, they suddenly rose and flew upwards.

"Boom!"

After surpassing the height of the cedars, two white crane fairies, dressed in snow-white feathers, with round and lovely faces, agile and plump, suddenly jumped out of the snowball and landed on the tips of the two cedars on the left and right respectively.

"Buzz~ Kapa Kapa~"

A heart-pounding scraping sound rang out in the icy snow, as two straight cedars were bent into an inverted "C" shape, resembling two giant bows.

"Is this Kunlun Mountain something you can come and go as you please?" the two white crane boys said in unison, drawing out the last syllable. Then, as the tip of the cedar tree touched the snow, they naturally took a step forward.

Only two words can describe it, and that is—

elegant
"collapse!"

With a sound like thunder and a bow like a thunderclap, after the two white crane boys stepped down, the two bent cedar trees suddenly straightened, and the snowflakes on them fell like oxygen, creating an exceptionally beautiful scene.

However, at this moment, Bai Suzhen didn't dare to breathe loudly.

These two chubby white crane boys are clearly guarding the immortal herb. They are powerful, and she has not yet fully recovered from the ordeal she went through.

This time, I'm afraid it will be tough.

However difficult it may be, even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, Bai Suzhen has to get through this ordeal.

“Hey second brother, is your use of the pronoun ‘ma’ correct? What we need is a sense of authority, do you understand?” one of the crane attendants with a black feather shawl said to the crane attendant with a red feather shawl next to him.

"So, your pronunciation should be like this—right?! Emphasis, up! down!"
And your brother, that "ma" of mine, the pronunciation was light and drawn out... just to express a sense of contempt..."

The two crane-like attendants chatted as if they were oblivious to Bai Suzhen stealing the immortal herb, as if their conversation was more important than the lost herb.

Strange, very strange.

Bai Suzhen looked at the two crane boys arguing in front of her, somewhat speechless. But now was not the time to watch the show. She gently bit the immortal herb with her white jade-like teeth and carefully retreated.

Try your best not to make a sound.

Meanwhile, the two crane boys were still arguing about the exact pronunciation of "ma," completely oblivious to the fact that it was not being taken seriously.

Upon hearing their elder brother's words, the two crane attendants immediately objected: "This monster who came here to steal the immortal herbs has an unknown origin, so how can it be considered contempt?"

"Hey, little brother, you've made the big mistake of underestimating your opponent."

"Hey, brother, that's not right of you. After all, you can't be serious about an enemy even if you're dismissive of them~ Hey hey hey—" The Second Crane Boy said, turning his head away and exclaiming in surprise when he saw the empty snowfield.

"And what about the monster?"

"That monster has escaped!" The two crane boys looked at each other, their tone sounding urgent, but their faces showed no sign of urgency.

Furthermore, the two of them spoke very loudly, as if they were afraid that Bai Suzhen in front of them wouldn't hear them.

Then the two crane boys leaped into the air and chased after Bai Suzhen ahead.

"I've been discovered." Upon hearing the shouts from behind, Bai Suzhen stopped concealing her presence and immediately increased her speed, sprinting towards the cigarette road.

It must be said that the two Crane Boys are truly powerful.

Although Bai Suzhen set off ahead of time, in just a short while, the two crane attendants arrived less than a hundred meters behind her.

For the three of them, this distance was practically within arm's reach.

The situation is extremely critical. (End of Chapter)
