As Xueyao and her group emerged from the cave, they suddenly sensed something was amiss with the air currents. Looking up, they saw a flickering light on the opposite mountain. Curious, everyone flew towards the source of the light.

As the distance got closer, they discovered that the light did not come from ordinary objects, but was a brilliant light emitted by clusters of fungi.

These fungi have various shapes, some are like blooming lotus flowers, and some are like exquisite pagodas. Each one emits a soft and dazzling white light, making the entire mountain and the sky brighter.

"What is this?" Xue Yao asked in surprise. She had never seen such a strange sight.

"These are 'Snow Spirit Mushrooms,' rare spiritual creatures unique to the glacier," Elder Bingling explained. "Not only do they emit a white light that can purify the soul, they also contain rich spiritual power. For practitioners, they are extremely rare treasures."

Upon hearing this, Xueyao and the others' eyes flashed with excitement. The appearance of this snow mushroom was undoubtedly a great reward for their exploration.

"However, these Snow Spirit Mushrooms are not easily obtained." The old man Bing Ling changed the subject. "They grow in the coldest and purest places of the glacier, and are often guarded by powerful spirit beasts. Without sufficient strength and wisdom, it is difficult to pick them."

Over the years, he had only seen one person successfully pick one. That young man in white also had a connection with the Snow Mushroom.

Upon hearing this, Xueyao and the others suppressed their excitement and became serious.

"Then what should we do?" Su Xin asked.

"First, observe carefully, find the right time and path, and try to test it out." Elder Bingling suggested, "The key is to be careful of the spirit beasts guarding the snow mushrooms. They won't let anyone who tries to get close to the snow mushrooms go easily."

Xueyao and the others nodded and began to carefully observe their surroundings. These snow mushrooms grew on a high mountain covered in ice and snow, surrounded by steep ice walls and bottomless crevices.

And around the Snow Mushroom, there were indeed several spiritual beasts of various shapes wandering around, with vigilance flashing in their eyes, obviously guarding these precious spiritual objects.

Whenever encountering such a situation, the first thing Xueyao thinks of is to solve the problem peacefully.

All things have souls and all life is equal.

From the human world to the heaven, whether traveling or in daily life, she will not harm anyone's life unless they are extremely evil.

She walked in front of the group, signaling everyone to remain quiet and not disturb the spirit beasts. Then, she slowly released her spiritual sense, attempting to communicate with the spirit beasts.

Her telepathy gradually connected with these spirit beasts. She felt their fear and hostility, but also their loyalty and protection for the Snow Mushroom.

She understood that in order to obtain the Snow Mushroom, she must first win the trust of these spirit beasts.

So, she began to use the frost power she possessed to construct a small ice crystal array, filled with pure and gentle chill. She hoped that this ice crystal array could serve as a bridge of communication between her and the spirit beast.

With the ice crystal array completed, she tried to communicate with the spirit beasts again. This time, she not only released her kindness and sincerity, but also tried to use her telepathy to perceive the spirit beasts' needs and wishes.

After a stick of incense, she finally established a connection with one of the spirit beasts.

The vigilance in the spirit beast's eyes gradually faded, replaced by curiosity and trust.

It slowly approached Xueyao, as if wanting to get to know her better.

Xueyao was delighted when she saw this, knowing that she had successfully taken the first step. Next, she needed to continue communicating with other spirit beasts and gain their trust and help.

Just when Xue Yao was about to communicate with the next spirit beast, suddenly, a white shadow flashed before her eyes, and a huge snow leopard jumped out from behind the ice wall.

Its eyes were as cold as ice, and its sharp claws gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

This snow leopard was obviously one of the guardians of these snow mushrooms, and its appearance instantly made the atmosphere tense.

Xue Yao released her spiritual sense again, wanting to communicate with them again, "Please rest assured, we only want to pick some mature snow mushrooms. We will definitely not cause any damage or harm any innocent people."

But all she got in response was the snow leopard's anger and murderous intent.

Xue Yao smiled, letting the snow leopard feel her sincerity, and said softly, "We won't pick them for nothing. We can exchange them for spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits, and fruit wine."

The snow leopard refused to listen and pounced on them without saying a word.

Everyone reacted quickly, using the martial arts and spells they had learned to engage in a fierce battle with the snow leopard.

Their movements were swift and coordinated, as if they had coordinated countless times, and each attack landed precisely on the snow leopard's vital points.

Under Xue Yao's long-term influence, they will not harm its life, they just need to subdue it.

However, the strength of this snow leopard should not be underestimated. Relying on its agility and powerful strength, it constantly dodges the attacks of Xue Yao and others, and looks for opportunities to counterattack.

For a time, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

At this moment, Xue Yao suddenly had an idea. She found that although this snow leopard was ferocious, it was very familiar with the surrounding environment and could always cleverly use the terrain to dodge and attack, but it also had flaws when dodging and attacking.

She gave everyone a wink, and after they understood, they did not try to fill in the gap she had deliberately exposed.

The snow leopard fell into the trap and suddenly jumped up and pounced on Xueyao. However, just as it was about to touch Xueyao, Xueyao suddenly dodged and hid behind a huge rock nearby.

The snow leopard missed its target and lost its balance. At this moment, the crowd seized the opportunity to surround the snow leopard and launched an attack. Their attack surged like a tide, making it difficult for the snow leopard to resist.

In the end, under the joint attack of Xue Yao and others, the snow leopard was finally defeated.

Later, Xueyao gradually established connections with other spirit beasts. Although these spirit beasts had different appearances and personalities, they gradually let go of their hostility and vigilance towards her due to Xueyao's sincerity and efforts.

Finally, under Xue Yao's guidance, these spirit beasts not only agreed to let Xue Yao and others pick snow mushrooms, but also took the initiative to lead the way and search for and pick snow mushrooms for Xue Yao and others.

They used their keen perception and wisdom to help Xueyao and others avoid dangers and traps.

With the help of the spirit beasts, Xueyao and others successfully picked the precious snow mushrooms.

Xue Yao and others looked at these spiritual beasts, their hearts filled with gratitude and respect.

Before leaving, Xue Yao specially left some precious cultivation resources for them, including various elixirs, fruits and wines from the Yaolin Secret Garden, as well as some magical instruments.

These resources will be of great help in improving their cultivation and enhancing their ability to protect the snow mushrooms.

The spirit beasts were naturally very happy and were very grateful to Xueyao and her companions.
