"Where is the place you ntioned?"
Qin Yang looked at Elder Bingyuan and asked.
"In the Snow Peak Mountain Range within Nanhu Province."
Elder Bingyuan replied.
"Snow Peak Mountain Range?"
Qin Yang's eyebrows raised.
"Yes, Young Master Qin. Three years ago, I needed to gather a rare Ice-Type Spirit dicine to break through to the Great Perfection level of the Celestial Tier. So I went to the Snow Peak Mountain Range. On the main peak, Snowfall Peak, there is an Ice Lake where an Ice Flood Dragon Python resides. It has formidable strength, equivalent to the Innate Realm of an Ancient Martial Artist. I almost lost my life to it."
Recalling the events of that day, Elder Bingyuan spoke with lingering fear.
"Ice Flood Dragon Python, is it?"
Qin Yang's eyes brightened slightly. It's an Ice Demonic Beast; if it can be slain and its at consud, Sister Ruan's Ice Skin Jade Bone Body could achieve further awakening.
"It's only been three years. I believe the Ice Flood Dragon Python is still at the bottom of that lake."
Elder Bingyuan thought for a mont before speaking.
Demon Beasts generally have longer lifespans than humans. For a powerful beast like the Ice Flood Dragon Python, living five to six hundred years is not an issue. Three years is but a brief mont for such a beast.
"Alright, let's go with that one."
Qin Yang nodded and said.
"Elder Gu You, Elder Bingyuan, co with . Elder Lei Tong, Elder Tian Yan, the two of you stay to oversee the Villa."
Qin Yang instructed.
"Yes, Young Master Qin."
Elder Gu You and the others responded in unison.
Subsequently, Qin Yang boarded the Flying Thunder Eagle, while Elder Gu You and Elder Bingyuan boarded the Black Feathered Eagle.
Screech! Screech!
In the high sky, the cries of the eagles echoed as the Flying Thunder Eagle and Black Feathered Eagle flapped their wings, heading towards the interior of Nanhu Province.
More than an hour later, the Flying Thunder Eagle and Black Feathered Eagle crossed into the Nanhu Province, flying above the Snow Peak Mountain Range.
The Snow Peak Mountain Range consisted of over a hundred peaks in an unending chain, averaging a height of a thousand ters. The main peak, Snowfall Peak, had an altitude exceeding two thousand ters. The summit was perpetually snow-capped, and snowflakes occasionally fell due to the low temperatures.
"Young Master Qin, there it is."
In the distance, high above Snowfall Peak, Elder Bingyuan pointed towards a massive Ice Lake on the mountaintop.
Qin Yang gazed towards it. The Ice Lake spanned three to four thousand ters, with an icy aura rising from its surface.
"Young Master Qin, that beast resides at the bottom of this Ice Lake, erging five or six tis a year to wander the Snow Peak Mountain Range, consuming spirit dicine, other beasts in the mountains, and any humans who enter the mountain range."
Elder Bingyuan said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yang nodded. Demon Beasts, before awakening their intelligence, rely on consuming various Spirit dicines to enhance their strength. The Ice Flood Dragon Python could remain subrged for two to three months after consuming spirit dicines and beasts, digesting the energy to improve its strength before erging again when digestion was complete.
"That's good; this ti, we can also rid the people of this nace."
Qin Yang's gaze fell upon the calm surface of the lake, which exuded wisps of cold vapor.
Flap! Flap!
The Flying Thunder Eagle and Black Feathered Eagle flapped their wings, flying to about fifty ters above the Ice Lake.
"Hmm? Is that...?"
Qin Yang's gaze sharpened with a gleam of light as he focused on the lake's center.
At the center of the lake, twelve blooming lotus flowers were visible. Each lotus leaf was as clear as ice, emitting a chill, elegant and aloof.
"It's Ice and Snow Lotus!"
An expression of surprise and delight crossed Qin Yang's eyes.
Ice and Snow Lotus is a relatively rare Ice-Type Spirit dicine. It has an extrely long blooming period, remaining open like ice sculptures for several centuries. The Ice and Snow Lotus Seed inside is produced once every ten years.
"These are all Centennial Ice and Snow Lotus."
Qin Yang's gaze swept the area, the joy in his eyes undiminished.
Each of the Ice and Snow Lotus flowers on the lake had a lotus pod at its center. Each pod contained ten lotus holes, with Ice and Snow Lotus Seeds maturing inside.
"This is wonderful."
A smile appeared at the corner of Qin Yang's mouth. He hadn't expected that simply searching for Demon Beast Essence Blood would lead him to encounter Centennial Ice and Snow Lotus. The Ice and Snow Lotus Seeds inside the lotus pods were significantly beneficial to Ice Elent Cultivators.
If Sister Ruan consud the Ice and Snow Lotus Seeds, her Ice Skin Jade Bone Body would awaken further, as her physique had only partially awakened and was still developing slowly.
"Wind Blade Technique."
Qin Yang's fingertip lifted, and a Wind Blade shot out from his fingertip.
Slash, slash.
Under Qin Yang's control, the Wind Blade successively cut the lotus stems rising above the lake surface, severing the Ice and Snow Lotus from their stems.
"Gather."
With a thought, Spiritual Power surged from Qin Yang's body, and the Ice and Snow Lotus flowers floated and hovered in front of him, ethereal and enchanting.
A trace of joy was present on Qin Yang's face. Then his gaze shifted to Elder Bingyuan, who was watching the Ice and Snow Lotus intently. With a wave of his hand, two Ice and Snow Lotus flowers flew towards Elder Bingyuan. Without Elder Bingyuan, he wouldn't have found these Ice and Snow Lotus, so sharing a couple was not a loss.
"Thank you, Young Master Qin."
Elder Bingyuan bowed in gratitude. Three years ago, when he ca here, he did not know about the presence of Ice and Snow Lotus. He coincidentally saw the Ice Flood Dragon Python erge from the lake after he ascended Snowfall Peak and had to flee hastily after realizing he couldn't win.
At the ti, he never discovered these Ice and Snow Lotus on the lake's surface. The Ice and Snow Lotus Seeds they produce would be extrely beneficial for soone practicing Ice Elent Technique like him. With the Ice and Snow Chain and the Primordial Spirit Pill given by Young Master Qin, he was confident of breaking through to the Innate Realm within three days.
Blubber, blubber~!
Just as Qin Yang stored ten Ice and Snow Lotus flowers into a Spatial Storage Talisman, a violent bubbling sound arose from the once-calm lake surface, resembling the angry breathing of a creature.
"Is this fellow coming out?"
Qin Yang's brows raised slightly, yet there was no sign of surprise on his face. After all, he took away the Ice and Snow Lotus; it would be surprising if the creature didn't erge.
Besides so Demon Beasts with inherited mories, many Demon Beasts rely on consuming Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to enhance their strength. When they discover a Spirit dicine that greatly aids them in advancing or significantly increasing their power, they won't consu it imdiately but will wait for a critical mont, such as during an advancent.
As a result, precious Spirit dicines are often guarded by Demon Beasts. The beasts guard these dicines not because they don't eat them or because the dicines are useless to them, but rather because the dicines are extrely important for them.
They plan to consu them at the most crucial mont, so when humans target the Spirit dicines they guard, these Demon Beasts are bound to rise in defiance.

PS: These chapters are transitional, so they aren't very intense. A little preview: Qin Yang is about to enter university soon. Additionally, the map levels will increase, and new factions will appear.
