With their bountiful harvest, the group flew away from the Hanyu Binglian Lake and landed on another peak. Before they could even find their feet, Qingyi suddenly warned, "Everyone, be careful! There's a crack in the ice ahead."

Everyone was stunned to see that deep cracks had appeared on the snow in front of them, like wounds in the earth.

Xue Yao observed carefully and found that there was a faint blue light flickering in these cracks.

"What's going on?" Yun Duoduo asked with a frown, feeling a little uneasy.

"These cracks seem to be caused by some force," Su Xin pondered for a moment and replied, "We must proceed carefully to avoid falling into them."

Just as everyone was preparing to carefully bypass the crack, Xue Yao sensed a breath coming from deep within the crack. Her heart stirred, as if something was calling her.

"Wait, I feel something." Xue Yao said softly, her eyes fixed on the deepest crack.

"It's yacon!" Su Xin suddenly exclaimed, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Yacon?" Bao Ling asked curiously. He had never heard of this magical fruit.

"That's right, yacon is an extremely rare spiritual fruit that grows in extremely cold places. It is said to be able to help practitioners break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation." Su Xin explained.

Xueyao nodded; she too had sensed it. She had heard the legend of yacon, but she hadn't expected to encounter it here. She took a deep breath and decided to take a chance. Perhaps this was the opportunity she had been waiting for.

She flew towards the deepest crack, wanting to see the exact location of the yacon in the crack, but suddenly felt a strong cold wind blowing out from the crack, which instantly turned into suction and sucked her in.

Xue Yao felt her vision go black as her body plummeted uncontrollably into the depths of the crevice. She tried to remain calm, channeling her spiritual energy to slow her descent. However, the suction seemed incredibly strong, and her efforts seemed insignificant.

The crack was filled with chilling cold, but Xue Yao felt a warm force surging within her body.

She simply stopped struggling and allowed herself to be sucked into the depths of the crack. In the darkness, she felt a strange power surging around her, as if guiding her to some mysterious place.

Just when Xue Yao thought she would be sucked into the endless abyss, suddenly, she felt that her body was no longer falling, and something seemed to be holding her up from underneath.

When she released her spiritual sense, she saw that it was the yacon plant, emitting a faint blue light, like a flower blooming in the ice, as if waiting for her arrival.

Xue Yao's heart throbbed with joy, knowing this yacon must be destined for her. She approached cautiously, fearing to disturb this precious spiritual fruit. The yacon's light grew brighter, as if responding to her arrival.

Just as Xue Yao was about to reach out and pick the fruit, suddenly, a white shadow flashed out from the darkness, bringing with it a sharp cold wind, like a flash of lightning across the night sky.

Xue Yao was shocked to see that the white shadow stopped in front of her. It turned out to be a huge snow eagle.

She quickly stepped back and looked around vigilantly.

"Be careful!" A voice sounded in the darkness, and then a huge snow eagle flew out from the darkness and blocked Xue Yao's way.

The Snow Eagle's feathers were like snow-white down, and its eyes sparkled with wisdom. It let out a clear cry, then spoke in human language, alerting Xue Yao. Xue Yao's heart throbbed, and she quickly conveyed her predicament to the Snow Eagle.

The Snow Eagle seemed to understand Xueyao's predicament. It spread its wide wings, trying to hold Xueyao firmly. Then, it began to flap its wings and fly high, quickly freeing Xueyao from the constraints of the crack.

"Xueying, why are you here?" Xueyao asked in surprise.

"I sensed your presence and came here to help." Snow Eagle's voice rang out in Xue Yao's heart, with wisdom gleaming in its eyes.

Xueyao felt a warm feeling in her heart. She knew that the Snow Eagle was the guardian of the snowy mountains and possessed great power. With its help, she believed that she would be able to successfully obtain the yacon fruit.

"Thank you, Xueying." Xueyao said gratefully.

"You're welcome," Snow Eagle replied, then turned to the depths of the crack. "However, there seem to be other creatures here. We must be careful."

Xue Yao nodded, knowing what Xue Ying said was true. She concentrated again and carefully approached the yacon. Under Xue Ying's protection, she finally succeeded in picking it.

"That's great! With this snow lotus fruit, everyone's cultivation can be taken to a higher level." Xue Yao was secretly delighted.

"However, we should leave here as soon as possible." Xueying reminded.

Xue Yao nodded, knowing that Xue Ying's concerns were justified. So, she used her sleeve pocket to store the yacon fruit in the Yaolin Secret Garden.

The Snow Eagle let out a clear cry, as if conveying some kind of message to Xueyao. It circled in the crack, staring at Xueyao with its sharp eyes, as if telling her not to be afraid.

Xue Yao's heart skipped a beat; she understood that the Snow Eagle was here to help her. She attempted to communicate with the Snow Eagle, conveying her thoughts to it. The Snow Eagle seemed to understand her, slowly approaching her and catching her with its broad back.

On the Snow Eagle's back, Xue Yao felt a warm and safe force. The Snow Eagle spread its wings and flew high, carrying her through the dark crack and toward the top of the crack. Under its guidance, Xue Yao finally saw the light at the end of the crack.

When they returned to the top of the mountain, the others were already waiting anxiously.

All they saw was a gigantic snow eagle, its feathers as pure white as winter snowflakes, its wings spread out like an endless cloud.

It just held Xueyao up like a natural partner.

With the help of Xue Ying, Xue Yao finally returned safely to the entrance of the crack.

Xueyao jumped off the Snow Eagle's back and looked at the magical Snow Eagle with gratitude, her heart full of respect. Then, she bowed deeply to it, thanking it for saving her life.

The Snow Eagle seemed to sense Xue Yao's gratitude. It flapped its wings gently and uttered a melodious cry, as if responding to her gratitude. Then it spread its wings and flew into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xueyao return safely.

"Xueyao, are you okay?" Yun Duoduo asked with concern.

"It's okay, I got some yacon." Xue Yao replied with a smile.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. They knew the preciousness of yacon and also understood that it would bring great benefits to Xueyao.

"Then let's leave here quickly." Su Xin said.

Xueyao nodded and said, "Let's go."

But when everyone flew up, the huge snow eagle swooped down and came in front of Xue Yao again.
