Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chi Rong's pupils contracted, and he swung his giant tail, intending to sweep it directly towards the large rock under the old man's buttocks.

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly waved his hands: "Wait...wait! I'll calculate it!"

He was just venting, why was the other person taking it so seriously...?

"You've come for the eldest princess?" The old man stroked his white beard again.

Chi Rong didn't speak, but his snake-like eyes stared intently at him, the meaning clear: he should stop talking nonsense and continue calculating.

The old man lowered his eyes, his fingertips tapping lightly. After a long while, he sighed deeply: "Alas... the eldest princess... is suffering unparalleled torment."

"Where is the location?" The crimson python's head stretched out in front of the old man, its eyes as cold as ice and snow.

The old man was startled by the sudden approach; he tilted his head back and straightened his back.

"Lord Chi Rong, please stay away from me. I need to do some more calculations."

"hurry up!"

Having said that, the old man didn't dare to delay and quickly started calculating again.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, his cloudy eyes revealing a hint of horror, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Surrounded by four peaks, the pool reflects the night sky... the eldest princess... should be..."

As the old man spoke, he turned to look at the distance to his right, where several mountain peaks were hidden in the clouds and mist. The clouds were flowing, and the view was like a fairyland.

Yet, this beautiful scene caused a hint of horror in the old man's eyes, and Chi Rong was no exception.

"What did you say? How could it possibly be there! Recalculate it!" it roared.

The old man shuddered and immediately started counting on his fingers again, but the result was still the same: "It's right there."

The crimson tail swept heavily across the mountainside, splitting the mountain open with a huge crack and nearly causing the old man to fall off a large rock.

He gripped the rocks tightly to avoid falling, and said, "Yesterday I heard that after the lord's death, the second princess and the eldest princess had a fight over there before the second princess took the throne."

The old man's meaning was clear: the two princesses were vying for the position of lord, and the eldest princess lost and was also defeated, losing the perilous Black Sea located beneath the four peaks.

No one is unaware of what falling into the Black Sea means; even a lord who falls in has no chance of survival.

Grief, despair, self-blame, and countless other emotions surged into Chi Rong's heart, and his amber-gold eyes were covered with bloodshot veins.

Its jaws were wide open, its sharp fangs were incredibly ferocious, and with a roar, the clouds were shaken and scattered.

The old man had never seen such a ruthless creature before. He was so frightened that he curled up slightly, fearing that the other party would go mad and tear him to pieces.

Chi Rong was completely out of control, and his entire body was destroying the sacred mountain. Solid rocks were shattered, and even Laozi's house was on the verge of collapse.

"Ouch!" the old man exclaimed. If his house was destroyed by the earthquake, where would he live?

He immediately waved his hand, trying to calm Chi Rong down, and shouted loudly, "Lord Chi Rong! Lord Chi Rong! Please calm down."

But Chi Rong wouldn't listen to him. The old man had no choice but to risk running up to it: "You are the eldest princess's companion spirit pet. You were born with her. If the eldest princess is really gone, you can't possibly be unharmed."

These words did indeed calm the out-of-control Chi Rong down a bit. It lowered its python head and thrust it directly in front of the old man, flicking its tongue, clearly not believing his words.

"It's true. Anything born with a spirit pet, whether it's a beast or an animal, is bound to its master's soul. If something happens to the master, the spirit pet will certainly not be alright."

The old man wiped his sweat, looked at the now quiet Chi Rong, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can you save him?" Chi Rong said coldly, his snake eyes staring straight at the old man, as if he would swallow him whole if the old man denied it.

The sweat that the old man had just wiped from his forehead instantly reappeared. He swallowed subconsciously and said, "Let me think... wait, there is... there is a way."

But the truth is, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with a solution. There has never been a case in this world where someone who enters the perilous Black Sea can come out alive.

"Say it!"

Chi Rong shouted again, startling him. His eyes darted around, and his mouth trembled as he stammered, "Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower, that's right, it's the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower!"

"A medicinal herb?"

The old man blinked and shook his head violently: "No, no, the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower is a legendary medicinal flower with the effects of bringing the dead back to life, healing flesh and bones, and restoring the soul. Legend has it that no matter which part of a person's body is left, even if there is only a single strand of hair, it can reshape their body."

"Even if the physical body has long since turned to ashes, as long as the spirit remains, it can be resurrected!"

Medicinal flowers? It had only ever heard of medicinal herbs; this was the first time it had ever seen one.

Chi Rong tilted his head: "Where do flowers grow?"

“This…” The old man frowned, looking troubled. “I only heard my grandmaster mention this flower once before. There is a sea outside this continent, and there is a small island in the sea. This flower grows on the island.”

Beyond the mainland?! This is a thousand times more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. It has never been to any place beyond the Realm of the Heavens, so how could it possibly know where beyond the mainland is? This is far beyond its comprehension.

Chi Rong's gaze lingered on the Black Sea, and he remained silent for a long time.

Whether the legends are true or false is unknown, but I've heard that to get beyond the mainland, you have to cross a vast snowfield.

"Snowy ground?"

"Yes, at the westernmost edge, there is a vast expanse of snow, which the locals call the Snow Region."

These words undoubtedly gave Chi Rong some hope, and it immediately set off to leave.

"Lord Chi Rong! That place is also a dangerous area. It can be said to be a dangerous forbidden land unknown to anyone. Anyone who has entered has never come out."

"So what?" The cold voice echoed in the wind. When the old man came to his senses, the towering figure of Chi Rong was nowhere to be seen at the end of Fengxian Mountain. Only broken rocks and cracks remained, a scene of utter devastation.

The old man, looking into the distance, paused slightly with his finger that had been moving, and sighed silently.

"This divination is extremely ominous."

In the training room.

"So you just went like that?? That old man sounds like he's lying." Guan Xun frowned, then laughed in exasperation.

"How could I not see it? His eyes are so shifty, he's obviously not telling the truth," Chi Rong snorted, his voice lowering.

"Master should also know that rather than having no hope, we might as well pin our hopes on that legendary thing. Maybe I can actually find it."

Guan Xun narrowed his eyes slightly: "So you found it."

The tone was not questioning, but affirmative.

Seeing that she is still alive and well, one can tell that Chi Rong has found the medicinal flower.

Chi Rong hummed in agreement, his thoughts drifting away.

"Mother! There's something flying in the sky!"

A little boy was pointing at the starry sky, his big, bright eyes blinking excitedly as he shouted.

He was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, completely wrapped up from head to toe.

This area is near snowfields, and is covered with thick snow year after year.

The woman sitting in front of the door, dressed in the same manner, immediately dropped her needlework, picked up the little boy, turned and went inside, closing the door tightly behind her.

Shh, don't speak!
