Chapter 117 Above the Snowfield

"My lord, there is a young lady outside who wishes to see the Imperial Envoy."

"Bring it in."

Magistrate Li glanced at Wuxian, and seeing that Wuxian did not object, he then spoke.

Soon, a young girl ran into the county government office. The person who came was Qing Ning, who had come to Pucheng using the Blue Jade Plate.

Upon hearing that an imperial envoy had arrived in Pucheng, Qingning thought that perhaps the corrupt officials she had collected could be handed over to this envoy.

Of course, Qingning wasn't stupid; she wouldn't be so foolish as to hand over all the information she had painstakingly collected to the other party.

Qing Ning's original plan was to investigate the people's conditions and hold court by beating the drum to verify whether the officials here were honest and whether the imperial envoy was worthy of the title.

Judging from Qingning's visit, Magistrate Li of Pucheng is undoubtedly a first-rate official. As for the imperial envoy, it is still unclear. Therefore, Qingning decided to make a trip.

However, all of his original plans were overturned when he saw the Infinity.

"Master Nianhao!"

Qingning, standing at the table, excitedly pointed at Wuxian in front of her and spoke.

"----girl.

My name is Qing Ning.

"My name is Infinity."

"I know."

"I know you still keep yelling."

Qing Ning's knowing deliberate violation reminded Wuxian of Laozi; indeed, she was Laozi's disciple.

The conversation between the two had already overloaded Magistrate Li's brain, leaving him with an expression that said, "Although I don't understand it, I am deeply shocked."

Meanwhile, in Lanxi Town.

Laozi, who was pruning the branches of the green plants, looked at the magical bronze mirror in front of him and chuckled.

A moment later, in Pucheng, in a very expensive restaurant.

Upon seeing Wuxian, Qingning knew that the information she had gathered would finally come in handy.

Qingning pulled an exquisitely bound notebook from the basket and handed it to Wuxian, who was currently picking up a crystal pork knuckle.

"What?"

"If local governments oppress the people, we can record the names of the people, the places they visited, and what they did. We can then contact them to find out more information."

Wuxian nodded and accepted the notebook: "I've taken it, don't worry."

Just as the two were about to continue their meal, a commotion arose outside the restaurant. Ming Wang's men had finally caught up with Qing Ning and successfully stopped her for the first time.

A demon who calls herself Seven Blades, whose real name is Ya Ting, threatens Qing Ning that if she dares to run away, she will kill everyone on the street.

In Yating's view, the best way to deceive a gentleman is to use his life to threaten Qingning into submission.

Unfortunately, Yating clearly underestimated Qingning's luxurious array of magical artifacts, which had armed Qingning to the extreme.

Jade Shield, Jade Armor, Spatial Fragment, Heavenly Spirit Pill, Spirit Protection Pill, Breath-Sealing Pill, Blue Jade Plate —

Qing Ning possessed numerous treasures; the Qiong Yuan Shield alone rendered Ya Ting helpless. She used everything she could—falling rocks, swords, burning, bombing, even digging holes and burrowing underground, and biting—but she couldn't even break through Qing Ning's first layer of defense.

These people, including Ya-Ting, Wu-Xuan, and even Ming-Wang, all understood the source of Lao-Jun's confidence in letting such a healing being roam the world.

"Excuse me—"

Seeing that she couldn't win over Qing Ning, Ya Ting wanted to leave, but Wu Xian obviously didn't want Ya Ting to leave so easily, after all, he had heard Ya Ting's threats earlier.

Although Ya Ting has never killed a single good person since she started cultivating with Ming Wang, she didn't want to explain to Wu Xian. After a brief exchange, Ya Ting managed to escape.

After a brief stay, Wuxian and Qingning each departed to continue their own journeys.

Several days later, Qing Ning arrived at the snowfield bordering the Northern Region.

It's freezing cold here, and there are hardly any people around.

Aside from the native inhabitants and a few adventurous travelers.

Only the footprints of fairies are found across the snowfield.

Consequently, the spiritual energy in this region is exceptionally abundant.

Many rare herbs and medicinal plants that cannot be found elsewhere can be found in this vast snowfield.

Strangely, as Qingning traveled along, she found the snowfield unusually quiet. Not only did she not see a single animal, but the spiritual herbs and medicines here were also exceptionally scarce compared to other snowfields.

"Strange, why is it like this here?"

Based on the knowledge Qingning had acquired, this situation was clearly abnormal. Qingning subconsciously wanted to ask Laozi, but then remembered that her master was not by her side. Her mood dipped for a moment, but she quickly cheered up again.

Qingning plans to find out the reason why this snowfield is rich in spiritual energy but has few living beings.

"Hey, what's that over there—"

In Lanxi Town, Laojun, who saw everything through the magical bronze mirror, let out a soft exclamation. Qingning didn't know, but didn't he know? That snow mountain was the place Fang Xiu had chosen for seclusion.

Before going into seclusion, Fang Xiu had the snowfield thoroughly cleaned, which is why it looked somewhat different from other places.

The entire snow mountain appears to be in its original state, but its interior has long been discovered to have been hollowed out. Fang Xiu, having regained his original form, has replaced the missing parts of the mountain with his massive body, supporting the entire snow mountain.

"How did it get there?"

Lao Jun had confidence in Fang Xiu's self-control, but also had the same confidence in the healing abilities' attraction to fairies.

Under normal circumstances, Lao Jun would not be worried about Fang Xiu at all, but the situation is special now. Fang Xiu is opening the spiritual space, which is when the Taotie instinct is strongest. Qing Ning ran up to Fang Xiu at this time.

Laozi (the founder of Taoism) did not want to see such a human tragedy as one of his disciples eating another.

Thinking of this, Laozi immediately prepared to make a trip himself to bring Qingning back.

Meanwhile, Qingning, who had walked all the way to the top of the mountain, finally saw the first living creature on her journey, a fairy dressed in exotic clothing.

The other person suddenly spoke behind Qing Ning, startling her so much that she jumped up instantly.

"They're quite wary."

The newcomer was none other than Naga, the lord of the Northern Region!

Because the cicadas had not given any warning, Qing Ning had subconsciously lowered her guard a bit.

Unaware that Naga was already plotting how to devour her bit by bit, Qing Ning withdrew her hand.

"Please forgive me, senior."

"Alright, whose disciple are you?"

Naga moved forward imperceptibly, silently closing the distance between the two.

Qing Ning bowed slightly: "This junior, Qing Ning, is a disciple of Lao Jun."

"Hahahaha—I never expected to run into an old friend's disciple here."

"Is he alright? I miss him quite a bit."

The mirror at Qingning's heart can only distinguish between truth and falsehood, but not between good and evil. Naga's words were ambiguous, so the mirror naturally did not react.

"I don't know how to address you, senior—"

Before Qing Ning could even speak, Naga suddenly launched an attack.

A punch imbued with divine power slammed down heavily towards the girl before him, its terrifying power exploding in an instant!
