The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

The day after leaving Jindu, Hu Xingtong, with Xiao Yuheng's permission, staged an emergency rescue scene in front of everyone in Xiacheng.

The story has to start from that day...

That day, the four of them brought Xiao Yuheng to the location of the Li Kingdom's imperial tomb. Under Xiao Hai's arrangement, they stayed there temporarily.

During the conversation, everyone also learned the reason why Hu Xingtong did this. Of course, Hu Xingtong would not tell the real reason, but would only give a brief account and repeat what he had said to Xiao Hai that day.

Then everyone told Xiao Hai everything that happened that day and wanted to ask Xiao Hai for his opinion.

Xiao Hai, of course, knew the pros and cons of this. Besides Hu Xingtong, he was the only one present who knew the truth about Xiao Yuheng's mother's death. So, after careful consideration, Xiao Hai said, "Yuheng must disappear from the history of Liguo. Of course, he must also die in front of the people of Liguo. That way, that bastard Xiao Yuce won't miss him."

Xiao Yuheng woke up at some point and sat behind everyone, listening. When everyone was wavering, he made the final decision: "It's settled. Let me die in Xiacheng. That way, I can truly be myself."

As Xiao Yuheng spoke, he lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression. One could only vaguely hear a hint of helplessness in his words.

So, the next day, after the trip with Xiao Hai, several people appeared in Xiacheng. In front of all the people, they staged a scene of thunder bombardment, failed to pass the thunder again, and died.

Of course, this kind of scene cannot be without the four people’s heart-wrenching screams of pain and Xiao Yuheng’s last words after his death.

So three days later, when the news reached Jindu, the old emperor vomited blood and fainted. On that day, Xiao Yuce was appointed regent and took charge of the government. After some investigation, Xiao Yuce finally confirmed the death of Xiao Yuheng and began to prepare for the follow-up matters with peace of mind.

At this point, the journey out of the country was successfully concluded, and several people set out on the journey to the far north.

However, before they even set foot in the small town near the Far North, someone could no longer hold on!

"Aqiu, senior brothers and sisters, is this the top of the mountain? I'm almost freezing to death!" Hu Xingtong wrapped himself in his mink coat, wishing he could shrink into it.

Several people are now in a border town near the Far North. The temperature is stable at around minus 10 degrees Celsius. Even so, Hu Xingtong still feels cold, and he is exaggeratedly wrapped in one robe after another.

"Third Senior Sister, you have a fire spirit root, so it's normal for you to be afraid of the cold. Look at Second Senior Sister, she is wearing the same clothes as usual, basically no change." Hu Xingtong followed what Xiao Yuheng said and looked in the direction of Han Qianyu. Sure enough, Han Qianyu was still wearing her black gown. What's more, there was no trace of coldness on Han Qianyu's body.

"In that case, when we go to Wuji Volcano, will I not be afraid of the heat?" Hu Xingtong sniffed his nose and huddled behind Tan Yuruo, shivering.

Tan Yuruo hugged Hu Xingtong affectionately. Feeling her trembling body, Tan Yuruo couldn't bear it and took out a piece of talisman paper from the storage ring and drew a constant temperature talisman in the severe cold.

"Third Senior Sister, you can apply this first. We will arrive in Xueyue City soon. Then we can go to the Exchange Pavilion over there to buy a set of robes that are more cold-resistant." Tan Yuruo comforted Hu Xingtong while applying the talisman paper to her.

The latter was so cold that he didn't want to talk. He kept regretting not listening to the system's advice. If he had known earlier, he would have made himself a constant temperature robe before coming here, so that he wouldn't be in such a miserable state now.

However, this also gave Hu Xingtong a business opportunity. The mountain roads in Hanlu Mountain were complicated and the temperature was relatively low. Ordinary cultivators with fire spiritual roots could not withstand such severe cold. However, there were many spiritual herbs and jades growing on Hanlu Mountain, and there were many treasures. In this way, if the cultivators with fire spiritual roots wanted to go up the mountain, they would need to ask other cultivators for help. But if they made some robes by themselves, they could greatly improve the cold resistance of the cultivators with fire spiritual roots. This would not only make it easier for the cultivators with fire spiritual roots to go up the mountain, but also allow them to make money and gain some power of faith, killing three birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Hu Xingtong's eyes gradually brightened, as if he had already seen a bright future with abundant wealth.

"Junior sister, your talisman paper is really effective. I feel much better." Although Hu Xingtong's voice was still trembling, she was obviously much more energetic than before.

Upon hearing this, Tan Yuruo smiled gently, "Third Senior Sister, I'm glad I could help you. Once we enter Xueyue City, we'll look for other methods or items that can enhance the cold resistance of cultivators with fire spiritual roots."

Han Qianyu remained calm as always. She said calmly, "Now that we've packed up, let's hurry on our way. Xueyue City, as the gateway to the Far North, must be bustling with activity. We might even find the clues we need there."

Everyone nodded in agreement and quickened their pace. As they advanced, the surrounding scenery underwent a startling transformation. The sparse trees gradually vanished, replaced by a plain blanketed in silver. The white snow blanketed the earth, creating a scene as beautiful as a fairyland. With every step, they felt like stepping into a whole new world, filled with mystery and the unknown.

Finally, on the distant horizon, a magnificent city appeared before my eyes. It was Snow Moon City, its outline remarkably clear under the sunlight. Its walls, built of shimmering ice crystals, shone like crystal, radiating an intoxicating light.

As they approached the city gate, a vast expanse of people and a myriad of sounds blended together, creating a bustling and bustling scene. The cries of vendors echoed one after another, the conversations of monks were incessant, and the entire city was filled with life and energy.

After entering the city, the group headed straight for the Exchange Pavilion. Inside, Hu Xingtong, armed with the token fruit Wen Zhao had given her, successfully found several materials that could enhance the cold resistance of cultivators with fire spiritual roots, including a rare mineral called "Warm Chalcedony." She excitedly collected these materials, already formulating a production plan.

At the same time, Sun Ze, Han Qianyu and Xiao Yuheng were also searching for clues about a secret place in Hanlu Mountain in the information center of Tonghuanyi Pavilion. That was the real purpose of their trip.

At the information center of the Exchange Pavilion, Sun Ze, Han Qianyu, and Xiao Yuheng carefully browsed through various intelligence jade slips, hoping to find any clues about the secret realm of Hanlu Mountain. Han Qianyu, with her keen insight, quickly noticed a subtle clue: a place called "Ice Jade Cold Pond." It was said that there was a hidden entrance to the secret realm, but the exact location was unknown and the surrounding area was fraught with danger, so few dared to set foot there. Most importantly, a magical herb grew around this cold pond, which was extremely suitable for the improvement of cultivators with ice spiritual roots.

"Ice Jade Cold Pond?" Sun Ze repeated, his brow furrowed. "The name doesn't sound good, but since we're here, we can't just come back empty-handed. We might as well go and take a look."

Xiao Yuheng nodded in agreement. "That's right. It's all about experience anyway. Why not go and have a look? If we gain something, that would be great. If not, we can just leave."

Just as the three of them were discussing heatedly, Hu Xingtong ran over excitedly, clutching a piece of warm chalcedony and several other materials. "Brothers and sisters, I've found the key ingredients for making cold-resistant robes. Let's go back and prepare them now. We want to make the robes as soon as possible so that everyone can have more protection when exploring the Ice Soul Pond."

Han Qianyu and Sun Ze both smiled and nodded, feeling pleased with Hu Xingtong's positive attitude. They knew that although Hu Xingtong was usually a bit quiet, he could always show amazing perseverance and creativity at critical moments.
