The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

So, when Hu Xingtong finally emerged from the attic, clutching five faintly radiant robes, Sun Ze and the other three marveled at her ingenuity and skill. The robes not only incorporated the attributes of their respective spiritual roots but also cleverly incorporated various functions, including defense, speed boost, and concealment. They were truly the perfect equipment for any adventure.

"Third Senior Sister, your robe is so great! After putting it on, I feel a lot lighter!" Tan Yuruo tried on the robe excitedly and walked back and forth in the hall, showing off its lightness and flexibility.

"That's right, I feel like this is a match for my Chuiyun. After putting it on, I feel so powerful." Xiao Yuheng arched his arms, and the exposed blue veins on his arms looked extremely strong.

As for Sun Ze, when he tried on the robe, he was extremely shocked because he felt the medicinal power contained in the robe. It was a feeling that could soothe his nerves with just the smell. It seemed that as long as he wore this robe, the speed and quality of his medicine refining would be greatly improved.

Looking at Han Qianyu again, a cultivator with ice spiritual roots is very sensitive in this city of ice and snow. At the same time, it is more suitable for his own cultivation here. At this moment, Han Qianyu, who is wearing the robes, can clearly feel that his senses in this place of ice and snow have become more sensitive. It seems that every pore can absorb and integrate the small amount of ice elements in the air. This robe is like a natural treasure pot for absorbing spiritual energy. Han Qianyu can feel the loosening of his own realm just by standing there. It is really too magical.

As a result, the way they looked at Hu Xingtong became different, as if they were looking at a stranger they didn't know, with a curious look.

Hu Xingtong didn't care about that. She was more interested in whether the people were satisfied with her work than exploring its details. Seeing their expressions of excitement or surprise filled her with a sense of accomplishment. For a gift maker, the greatest joy is having their work liked and praised.

"Okay, is everyone ready? We will set off early tomorrow morning and head to the secret realm!" Sun Ze stood up, looked around at everyone, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Everyone responded in unison, and a strong fighting spirit spread among them.

The Ice Jade Cold Pond, although dangerous, contains many spiritual treasures. Hu Xingtong, who had already received the system's clues, planned to open the scanning eye as soon as he entered the Hanlu Mountain, so that he could loot a lot of good things.

Hu Xingtong smiled slightly, secretly thinking about his plan after entering the secret realm.

As they conversed, night quietly approached. As the night deepened and the campfire gradually died down, the five of them returned to their rooms to rest, recuperate, and prepare for the upcoming adventure. Hu Xingtong gazed up at the starry sky, praying silently that the journey would go smoothly, that they would not only bring back precious spiritual treasures for the team, but also that their friendship would deepen, and that this experience of fighting side by side would become the most precious memory of their spiritual journey.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the snow-covered land, the five people were ready and set out on their journey to the secret realm.

This time, they gave up the heavy mink coats and chose to wear only light clothes and robes. This would not only allow them to test the quality of the robes refined by Hu Xingtong, but would also greatly speed up their progress.

While on the road, everyone carefully observed their surroundings, fearing that a monster would suddenly jump out from a corner and cause danger.

During this process, everyone clearly felt the warmth brought by the robe. In the windy and snowy weather, the robe directly balanced the temperature of each person's body, completely achieving the defensive effect of self-regulating temperature, and directly avoiding the threat of extreme cold weather to the monks. This made the four of them admire Hu Xingtong's weapon refining level.

"Third Senior Sister?" Tan Yuruo's cry suddenly came from the quiet team, and her response was a dead silence.

"Where is Xingtong?" Sun Ze looked around. There was no special color in the white environment. The team of five people had become four people without him noticing.

For a moment, the four of them were extremely panicked, looking everywhere and calling Hu Xingtong's name softly.

On this side, Hu Xingtong was opening his scanning eye and releasing spiritual power towards a hard rock.

"Is this ice crystal so hard to harvest? It took me ages to get just this one piece." Hu Xingtong muttered as she increased her spiritual energy, trying to more quickly peel the precious ice crystal from the rock. This ice crystal, discovered with the help of her Scanning Eye, was rich in spiritual energy and would be of great help in improving the quality of her magical tools. Therefore, despite knowing the team was advancing, she couldn't help but be drawn to the ice crystal and temporarily broke away from the group.

However, she did not realize that this temporary stop had caused panic in the team.

On the other side, Sun Ze and others were extremely anxious. They looked everywhere for Hu Xingtong's trace, but in this vast snowy field, a person's figure was so small and difficult to find.

"Let's search separately, but keep in touch. Once we find Xingtong, we will notify everyone immediately." Sun Ze made the decision decisively. He knew very well that in this environment, time is life, and every moment of delay may bring unpredictable dangers.

"No, we have to act together. If we separate, we won't be able to rescue Yuruo and Yuheng if they are in danger." Han Qianyu stopped the actions of several people and talked about the drawbacks of the plan, but it was not difficult to see her worry about Hu Xingtong in her expression.

Upon hearing this, Sun Ze, Xiao Yuheng and Han Qianyu immediately nodded in agreement. The four of them chose to return the way they came to look for Hu Xingtong.

As they anxiously searched, Hu Xingtong finally succeeded in extracting the ice crystal from the rock. She gazed at the crystal in her hands with satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment filling her heart. But at that moment, Sacred Heart's keen passive ability allowed her to sense the anxiety within the team behind her. Her heart tightened, and she immediately realized she might be causing trouble for the team.

"Oh no, I was so busy collecting ice crystals that I forgot to keep in touch with my brothers." Hu Xingtong thought to himself that something was wrong. He immediately put away the ice crystals and turned on the scanning eye to find the team's location.

[Stand still, they're coming for you.] The system stopped Hu Xingtong from moving, soothing her to stay where she was and wait.

Finally, before the snowstorm arrived, Hu Xingtong reunited with the team. Seeing that Hu Xingtong was safe and sound, the four of them finally put their minds at ease.

"Third Senior Sister, where have you been? We were so worried!" Tan Yuruo was the first to rush forward and hugged Hu Xingtong tightly, with a hint of blame and fear in her voice.

Hu Xingtong smiled apologetically and explained, "I'm sorry. I just saw an ice crystal here and couldn't help but stop to collect it. I forgot to tell you. I'm really sorry for making you worry."

Sun Ze patted Hu Xingtong's shoulder and said earnestly, "Xingtong, don't do this again next time. It's snowy and windy here, so there must be some monsters living there. What if there's danger?"

Hu Xingtong nodded. At this moment, she stood there pitifully, listening to the scolding, just like a child being scolded by her parents.

"Third Junior Sister, if you find anything good later, just tell us. We are not in a hurry to travel, and we can even help you." Han Qianyu stood behind Sun Ze. Her expression did not look very good, and her tone was inevitably a little cold, but Hu Xingtong still nodded in agreement obediently.
