The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner
Chapter 53 Bet
"What bet?" Hu Xingtong swallowed subconsciously. She didn't know why she had a bad feeling. She silently took out a first-grade healing pill from her storage ring and swallowed it.
Seeing her nervousness, Xueyue Yao's playful mood immediately piqued. With her gorgeous face, she leaned close to Hu Xingtong and whispered, "Let's bet on when your senior sister can choose the path. I'll give you a chance. Practice here with me. If you can find the entrance to the secret realm, I'll release your two brothers in advance. In short, I'll give you enough time. If your senior sister still can't choose the path after leaving my snowy mountains, you can stay. If you can, I'll do you a small favor."
"No, why should I stay?" Hu Xingtong was anxious. Although Xueyue Yao's conditions were very favorable to them, the bet was herself, so she was worried that the other party would cheat.
"Little one, you'd better behave yourself. The conditions are very favorable for you. I only want you, so don't be ungrateful." A playful smile played on the Snow Moon Demon's lips, her eyes gleaming with an unquestionable light. She slowly stepped back, condensed a chair carved from ice, and sat down on it, her posture elegant and proud.
"I understand your concerns. But here on the summit of the snowy mountain, the reputation of my Snow Moon Demon is far more valuable than those so-called reputable sects in the outside world. Since I've proposed this bet, it must be fair and impartial. Besides, what do you think you can decide? I've already given you the opportunity to choose, but if you choose to stay, it might be your best option. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to cultivate in my holy land of the snowy mountain."
Hu Xingtong, though resigned to this, knew that this seemingly enchanting yet powerful being was no match for her. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, her gaze lingering on Snow Moon Demon's nearly perfect face before finally nodding.
"Okay, I promise you. But first, you have to tell me what exactly you mean by a small favor?"
Snow Moon Demon smiled with satisfaction, as if everything was under control. "Smoothly choosing the path naturally means that your senior sister, under my guidance, can comprehend the universe and find her own path of cultivation. As for that little favor, you'll find out once you win the bet. I promise it will be a reward you never imagined."
After saying that, Xueyue Yao gently waved her sleeves, a cold light flashed, and the pill bottle in Hu Xingtong's hand flew back to the storage ring by itself. At the same time, a gentle force wrapped around her, making her feel unprecedented comfort, and the injuries on her body seemed to be recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is my small gesture of goodwill towards you, and also a display of confidence. Remember, time is precious to you. Now, you can move freely within my territory, but don't forget, once the bet begins, there is no turning back."
Hu Xingtong looked into Xueyueyao's deep eyes, feeling mixed emotions. She knew she had already embarked on a path of no return, and the only thing she could do was to do her best to help her senior sister choose the right path and win this unknown gamble. So, she nodded firmly and turned to walk towards where Han Qianyu and the others were.
"By the way, little guy, my name is Qingyue, what's your name?" The voice of Xueyue Yao echoed behind Hu Xingtong. Hu Xingtong didn't even want to look at her, and just answered in a low voice from a distance: "Hu Xingtong." No matter how quietly she spoke, Hu Xingtong believed that the person could hear it.
"Xiao Wuzi, can you tell me where the entrance to the secret realm is nearby?" Hu Xingtong called out to the system in his heart. The best way was to enter the secret realm, so that Qingyue could release the two senior brothers, and he would have more time and space to study the second senior sister's weapon.
[The entrance to the secret realm is at the bottom of the Ice Jade Cold Pond, and inside the Ice Jade Cold Pond grows many Ice Spirit Grasses, which are extremely suitable for your senior sister's cultivation.]
Hu Xingtong thought about it and realized that the depths of the Ice Jade Cold Pond were extremely cold. Even his senior sister who had ice spiritual roots would not be able to move freely through it. In that case, let alone himself and Tan Yuruo who did not have ice spiritual roots.
The three of them returned to the edge of the cold pond. Hu Xingtong stared at the cold pond in front of him in a daze, while Han Qianyu began to meditate on the spot, trying to communicate with the laws of heaven and earth and choose the right path in one go.
"Second Senior Sister, don't be anxious. We have plenty of time. Just treat this as a practice. Be patient in communicating with the elements of heaven and earth and feel your heart." Hu Xingtong was worried that Han Qianyu would choose a path at random, so she hurriedly reminded her. The latter also knew her intention, so she gave up the idea of choosing a path at random and instead concentrated on meditation and practice.
Meanwhile, Tan Yuruo interrupted Hu Xingtong, who was lost in thought, and asked quietly, "Senior Sister, what are you looking at?"
Hu Xingtong didn't look at her, still using his scanning eye to observe the bottom of the pond. He replied casually, "I was thinking about our previous information. Do you remember that it mentioned that there are spiritual plants growing near the Ice Jade Cold Pond that are suitable for ice spirit root cultivators to increase their cultivation?"
Tan Yuruo nodded, "I remember, but didn't we see it?"
"Because I didn't see it, I was wondering if the spiritual plant was growing at the bottom of the pool, so I planned to use the characteristics of the robe to go down and take a look." Hu Xingtong had a general understanding of the situation at the bottom of the pool, turned to look at Tan Yuruo and expressed his thoughts.
"Senior sister, you are afraid of the cold, so why don't I go." Tan Yuruo thought about it and was still worried about Hu Xingtong going down alone, so she advised.
Hu Xingtong shook his head, took out a rope from the storage ring, tied one end around himself, and handed the other end to Tan Yuruo, saying, "I have strange fire and can summon it when necessary, but you can't. You stay here and watch over my senior sister. I'll go down and take a look. Also, I'll leave Yan Hui here. If I'm in danger, Yan Hui will remind you. You just pull the rope to save me." After summoning Yan Hui and giving him the robes he had made earlier, Hu Xingtong plunged into the cold pool.
After entering the cold pond, Hu Xingtong was able to temporarily avoid water with the help of the system, and then immediately drew a barrier to isolate external objects and enveloped himself in it.
"Xingxing, why are you taking this risk if you can't swim? Besides, the temperature in here is extremely low, almost beyond your tolerance." The system asked, looking at the alarm about Hu Xingtong's body functions on the panel.
While searching the area, Hu Xingtong released the Nine Golden Cold Star Fire. The temperature of the flame temporarily raised the temperature inside the barrier, temporarily resisting the severe cold that was constantly invading the cold pool.
"My scanning eye has a wider range than my spiritual sense, and with you here, I can find the entrance to the secret realm in one go. At the very least, I can grab a few Ice Spirit Grasses and take them back. If I ask my assassin junior sister to come down, she'll probably die here, and she might not even be able to find anything to get up."
[Okay, go forward. There are a few Ice Spirit Grasses ahead.] Seeing that it couldn't persuade Hu Xingtong, the system decided to help her find some spiritual plants to take back.
Of course, in addition to the ice spirit grass, there are many other good things in the depths of the cold pond. Hu Xingtong found a cold jade stone that is only sold at a high price outside.
