Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 260 Vast Green Forests, Endless Snow-capped Peaks

The vast snow-capped peaks seem to reach almost to the sky.

As Chen Xu stepped onto it, he was immediately surrounded by pure white, with a vast expanse of snow before his eyes. The cold wind blew, and although it was bone-chillingly cold, it seemed to contain a transcendent and otherworldly spiritual energy.

It is so enchanting that even a light sniff can induce a sense of intoxication.

This is the immense power of nature, which is beyond the reach of mortals.

Chen Xu traversed treacherous mountain paths—

In some places, there are no roads at all, only steep cliffs, biting cold, or deep ravines.

Fortunately, Chen Xu possessed the ability to summon wind, allowing him to travel by wind, traversing dangerous terrain as if climbing a ladder to heaven.

Looking back at the path we came from, all the perilous terrain was hidden in the vast clouds and mist, while looking down at the vast plains below the snow-capped peaks, we could see the land stretching for thousands of miles like a chessboard.

The endless waterways, like the veins on a chessboard, cut the land into pieces.

On those vibrant lands, the outlines of cities resemble dragons and snakes lying in wait.

At times it seemed insignificant, and at other times it seemed to contain indescribable power.

This one glance fills one's chest with inexplicable emotions.

Just then, a loud shout filled with intense emotion was heard: "Ah—"

The little hedgehog couldn't resist peeking out from behind Chen Xu, and facing such a vast world, let out a heartfelt cry: "Ahhh—"

The little hedgehog jumped onto Chen Xu's shoulder and couldn't help but cling tightly to his clothes, saying loudly, "Brother Chen, this is Xuefeng, this is Lingxi Xuefeng."

That's Qinglin Prefecture, the vast Qinglin Prefecture, now it's all before our eyes!

A cold wind howled, and the little hedgehog, which had been huddled in the basket on Chen Xu's back, protected by his scholarly aura, dared not come out easily.

But the breathtaking scenery at the summit was too much for him to resist.

It was shivering from the cold, but it still faced the cold wind and said excitedly, "Brother Chen, this is a place I have never dared to come to, even when I use the Earth Escape Technique!"

Now that you've brought me here, I'm so happy..."

woohoo-

On the otherworldly mountaintop, only the sound of the wind responds to its joy.

Of course, there's also Chen Xu.

Chen Xu was also somewhat shocked.

He climbed the snow-capped peak, originally intending to collect the previous year's snow, but now, looking down at the vast plains and waterways, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Ah Yuan, look at those winding river channels. Do they look familiar?"

Upon hearing Chen Xu speak, Wei Yuan immediately focused its gaze downwards to carefully discern the details, but unfortunately, after looking for a long time, it still couldn't make out anything.

The little hedgehog felt ashamed and said embarrassedly, "Brother Chen, perhaps I'm a bit ignorant and didn't understand..."

"Squeak!"

Just then, the little mouse that had been sleeping in the spirit pouch awoke.

Because of the protective sac, the mouse did not feel the intense cold.

It immediately untied the pouch of the spirit basket and leaped upwards with its small body.

"Squeak! It's so cold!"

Wow, it was this sudden movement that nearly froze the mouse senseless.

It hurriedly scurried back into the spirit pouch, exclaiming in surprise, "Scholar, where is this? Have we arrived at the Moon Palace? Hehehe..."

It turned out that the brief moment it had spent outside had made it so cold that even after returning to its spirit pouch, it still couldn't help but chatter and tremble all over.

Of the two demons and one human, only Chen Xu possessed robust qi and blood, with all three elemental attributes exceeding those of ordinary people, enabling him to withstand such cold with his physical body alone. In addition, he had been cultivating the Stove Fire Protection Technique for some time, and although he had not yet fully mastered the Fire Armor Body, he had at least entered the basics.

Having mastered the Fire Armor Body technique, one's skin often feels as if it is protected by raging flames.

This fire armor is naturally invisible and traceless, and it will not be revealed under normal circumstances, yet it forms a special barrier invisibly.

Since Chen Xu himself was safe, he naturally had to protect the two little demons.

He mobilized his own true energy and activated his fire armor, so that both the little hedgehog sitting on his shoulder and the little mouse in the spirit pouch instantly felt a warm embrace.

The warmth dispelled the chill of the mountain peak. Chen Xu told the mouse, "This is not the Moon Palace, this is Lingxi Snow Mountain, Yuhan Peak. I came here to collect last year's snow."

Chen Xu wanted to collect snow from the previous year, something the mouse already knew.

It quickly asked with concern, "Did you manage to collect any?"

Chen Xu lowered his eyes and looked down at the ground.

Jade Cold Peak is covered with snow that never melts, and theoretically, it should be covered with snow from the previous year.

However, upon closer inspection, the reality is quite different.

Chen Xu activated his talent for identifying terms, intentionally examining the terms associated with the snow on the ground, only to find:

[Snow that has accumulated for years, snow that has lasted for ten years, is the snow on the summit of the snow mountain. It contains intense cold and can be used for blending and harmonizing.]

Alternatively, collecting and brewing tea leaves can enhance their refreshing flavor, calm the drinker's emotions, and clear their mind.

Note: This snow contains many impurities and must be purified using the Eight Methods of Spiritual Refining before it can be used.

This is snow from ten years ago, but not snow from the previous year.

Chen Xu frowned slightly. He had taken a detour to climb Lingxi Snow Mountain, but it seemed that the snow from the previous year was not so easy to find.

What we fear most now is that while Jade Cold Peak has snow that has lasted for ten years, a hundred years, and a thousand years, it has no snow that lasts for a year.

Does this mean that to collect "snow from the previous year," we really have to wait until the end of the year and hope that the weather will cooperate and it will snow?

To be honest, Chen Xu didn't want to wait; the time span was too long.

You need to acquire many things as early as possible to ensure timeliness.

Chen Xu wasn't impatient to wait; rather, he was worried that time was running out.

However, there's no need to let the two little demons know about these concerns. Besides, we haven't explored all of Jade Cold Peak yet, so it's too early to draw conclusions.

Therefore, Chen Xu only replied to the mouse, "Not yet, no rush, let's walk around and see."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wei Yuan, who had been sitting on Chen Xu's shoulder, clapped his hands.

It exclaimed with delight, "Brother Chen, I know what the water system at the foot of that mountain looks like now!"

It turned out that Wei Yuan had been unable to answer Chen Xu's question, and he had been secretly annoyed ever since, racking his brains to figure it out.

He was so engrossed in this thought that he didn't even notice Chen Xu's conversation with the mouse.

It was racking its brains to think about its problem, and then, at this moment, it exclaimed joyfully: "Brother Chen, it's that book, 'The Record of Strange Things in the Mountains and Seas,' it's 'The Record of Strange Things in the Mountains and Seas'!"

On that cover, there's that dragon...

The waterways of Qinglin Prefecture are so winding and crisscrossing, don't they resemble that dragon?

Look, that Yuancang River, doesn't it look like a dragon's body? The Suiyu River, the Suiyu River is one of the dragon's claws, and over there, over there, over there... it's as if four dragon claws are swimming in the clouds.

How magnificent!

Wei Yuan was amazed.
