The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

"Xiao Wuzi, how can we make this big fish taste good without seasoning?" Hu Xingtong stopped thinking about weapon design and started thinking about cooking the big fish. This left our system speechless. It quickly searched for seasonings in this world and replied: "You can make soup, or at least grilled fish. I saw that this world has chili peppers, peppercorns, mushrooms, and salt, but no soy sauce or MSG. It's definitely not going to work for braised fish or sweet and sour fish."

"Then do you think there are other fish of this kind in this cold pond? If there are, I will catch more and bring them back. This way, when my senior brother comes back, I can eat a little every time. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Hu Xingtong felt drooling just thinking about the scene. It must be said that he hadn't eaten the food cooked by Sun Ze for a long time and he missed it a little.

[No, who cares about food? Besides, you're not here to find the entrance to the secret realm, so why are you catching fish?] The system was silent online, kindly reminding him.

However, our modern foodies, already obsessed with food, couldn't stand it any longer and immediately retorted, "You don't understand, you idiot! For us Chinese, food is our most important priority. We've even eaten the invasive crayfish to extinction. Our philosophy is to eat anything that's not poisonous, process the slightly poisonous before eating, and soak the highly poisonous in wine as medicine. In short, anything can be eaten here."

[I see, but if you give me half, I'll find it for you.] The system maliciously wanted to take advantage of it, but the food protector Tongtong said, "It depends on the situation. If there's any extra, I'll give you a little..."

Hu Xingtong thought to himself: Hehe, I will eat all the delicious ones myself, give all the not-so-delicious ones to Tongzi, and give a little bit of the slightly delicious ones to Tongzi.

A certain system Chen Wu: Thank you!!!

After walking for a while, she didn't know whether it was because Hu Xingtong's reputation had spread far and wide, but she never encountered that kind of fat fish again. Fortunately, Hu Xingtong picked a lot of ice spirit grass and collected a lot of cold jade stones at the bottom of the cold pond. The most fortunate thing was that, perhaps because many cultivators had come to the cold pond, there were many storage magic treasures of various kinds buried shallowly at the bottom of the cold pond, and it was filled with all kinds of treasures. Perhaps it was because the monsters here would not open the storage magic treasures, which was a good thing for Hu Xingtong.

"Another storage bag, I'm going to get rich!" Hu Xingtong was so happy after putting away a white storage bag in front of him. At this moment, he was in the stage of getting a bargain and didn't notice that a black crack in front of him was quietly opening.

[Xingxing, found it! The entrance to the secret realm has been found!] The system's excited call brought Hu Xingtong back to his senses. Hu Xingtong immediately looked up and came across a slightly opened gap. The scanning eye scanned the secret realm, and the information about the secret realm also emerged at this moment: Icefield Secret Realm, a secret realm with rare innate attributes.

The introduction was brief, but the word "rare" alone was enough to excite Hu Xingtong. "Great! I finally found it! I have to inform my senior sisters!"

Hu Xingtong thought about it and called Gu Xunzhou out. Gu Xunzhou, who had just come out, was shivered by the icy cold air around him before he could recover.

Hu Xingtong was surprised by this subtle reaction, so he asked Gu Xunzhou curiously, "Can you feel the temperature around you?"

Gu Xunzhou looked at her, then carefully felt it again and answered sincerely: "I feel it, but it's okay. I rely on your sword to buffer some of the coldness."

Upon hearing this, Hu Xingtong frowned. The temperature in the cold pond was quite low. If Gu Xunzhou, who was a spiritual body, could feel it, then the two senior sisters might not be able to bear it.

"Where have you been? It's so dark here and looks a bit eerie." Gu Xunzhou commented sincerely, but his eyes were constantly observing the surroundings.

"I'm in the water. Do you think you can get out?" Hu Xingtong was struggling over whether to let Qing Huanjian go out to report the news or go out himself.

"Are you going ashore to inform your two fellow disciples?" Gu Xunzhou was very smart and could guess Hu Xingtong's thoughts without him having to explain. However, he also had his own opinions. "I think it's better for you to go in person. I can wait for you here, leaning against the sword. But I can't bring your fellow disciples down with me. The temperature here is too low, and I can't take care of them."

With Gu Xunzhou's suggestion, Hu Xingtong still felt that he should go, so he followed Gu Xunzhou's suggestion, left him here, and went back alone.

Hu Xingtong took a deep breath and prepared to go deeper into the water. Before leaving, she carefully checked the Qing Huan Sword and covered the sword with a layer of her own strange fire to ensure that Gu Xunzhou could be safely attached to it and would not be affected by the low temperature of the cold pond.

Then he secretly thought about how to inform his senior sisters and the others as quickly as possible without missing the best opportunity to enter the secret realm.

"System, is there any way to quickly float up?" Hu Xingtong asked the system for help while organizing his thoughts.

[No method needed, just be simple and brute-force. Gather your spiritual energy at your feet and try to use the catapulting principle in your real world to launch yourself upwards.] The system quickly gave a suggestion.

Hu Xingtong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He immediately followed the system's instructions, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, gathered the spiritual power under his feet, condensed a pair of huge light balls, and then added a small amount of strange fire to them, following the evaporation principle of water vapor, directly accelerating his upward impact.

Soon, Hu Xingtong broke through the water's surface and returned to the world of fresh air. She quickly shook off the water droplets on her body, using her spiritual power to dry herself. Then, after looking around and determining the direction, she immediately ran towards the two people.

"Senior Sister! Junior Sister! I found it! I found the entrance to the secret realm!" In order to speed up his pace, Hu Xingtong directly summoned his blue wings, glided directly, and rushed to Tan Yuruo and the others at the fastest speed.

At this time, Tan Yuruo was sitting by the pool, holding a rope tightly in his hand. Suddenly, Yan Hui sat up from the side, looking somewhere with bright eyes. At the same time, feeling the slight shaking of the rope in his hand, Tan Yuruo immediately opened his eyes.

"Is it senior sister who is back?" As he was muttering this, Hu Xingtong's excited voice came from a distance.

Tan Yuruo immediately woke up her senior sister who was meditating next to her. They both stared at Hu Xingtong as he flew over, and then... with a thud, he crashed into the snow pile beside them.

Two people:…

Hu Xingtong, who hadn't controlled his strength well, finally got out with the help of the two people. He heard Qingyue's mocking voice: "Tsk, you just found a secret place, you can't be so happy as to eat snow."

"Puff—" Hu Xingtong angrily spat out the snow stains on his lips, looked at Qingyue, and asked, "I found the entrance to the secret realm, does what you said count?"

Qingyue smiled, her movements were graceful and charming, and there was always a hint of allure in her every frown and smile. Hu Xingtong felt that this Snow Moon Demon was incredibly beautiful just by looking at her, but he still asked calmly, "Can you let me out now? I'm a little hungry."

???

What does this have to do with being hungry? Tan Yuruo and the others were simply surprised, looking at Hu Xingtong with strange eyes, unable to understand how she could achieve such a seamless transition between the two tones.

"Hehehe," Qingyue covered her mouth and chuckled. She just found Hu Xingtong's behavior somewhat amusing, so she spoke more gently. "Just go in. I've already put your two fellow disciples into the secret realm. Remember, I'm waiting outside. If you leave the snow mountain without fulfilling the bet, little one, you have to stay and keep me company."

Ahhhh, go to hell, why did this woman want to keep me?

Hu Xingtong was devastated and went crazy, but she pretended to be obedient and nodded, not for any other reason, but simply because they could not defeat this Snow Moon Demon.
