The Journey of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 805 - 445: Advancing into the Great Snow Mountain (2

However, long-distance flying had indeed exhausted both her and Qi Zai’s energy. When she stepped onto the ground this ti, she was surprised to find a faint blue underneath her eyes.

She had actually flown herself into dark circles! For a beautiful cultivation woman, this was almost impossible, showing how terribly she had been tornted these days.

So, dragging her exhausted body, she found a human settlent area at the foot of the Snow Mountain, intending to stay for two days before advancing to the Great Snow Mountain. Though called "the foot," the altitude was already over a thousand ters.

What is the best way to recover energy? Of course, it’s sleep. She was too tired. By throwing out two ingots of silver, she exchanged for a pretty good lodging, cast a Cleaning Technique on herself, and climbed onto the kang. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she sank into a dream.

She slept sweetly and soundly, with unprecedented quality, only to see a Dragon Turtle in her dream. It was in the form of a young boy, grinning and saying sothing to her. But she didn’t hear clearly. The last thing she rembered was the Dragon Turtle pointing solemnly to her hand. When she looked down, she saw a dark red Token lying in her palm.

Then she woke up, groggily raising her hand to look at it. There was nothing in her palm. It seed it was just a dream.

She stretched lazily, her whole bone structure making a series of subtle cracking sounds, leaving her refreshed. Now she was lying on a kang covered with a whole animal skin. The soft bedding was made from snow rabbit pelts, though the kang was already cold. Fortunately, she was immune to cold and heat. This place was in the Northwest, and though spring was approaching, the wind was still piercingly cold, and the temperature was very low. Wealthier families had heated kangs at ho.

"How long did I sleep?" She asked Changtian while combing her hair and changing clothes. Before sleeping, she made sure to take off the Demon Eye and cover it with clothes, which made him very displeased as he couldn’t see anything.

"Not much, only 24 hours," he replied sullenly, "but soone ca looking for you twice, both tis blocked by Tu Jin." Since Qi Zai had to hurry, Tu Jin and the other demons had stayed in the God Demon Prison these days. After sitting with Changtian for a long ti, they volunteered to co out and guard her the mont Ning Xiaoxian landed, keeping watch in front of her door for over ten hours, warding off anyone seeking her.

She asked curiously, "I just got here, how could there be anyone looking for ?" While speaking, she put on a silver mouse short jacket with narrow sleeves and concealed lapels, fastened a long-tasseled palace ribbon around her waist, changed into a pair of deerskin boots, and finally put the Demon Eye back on her chest. As she pushed the door open and exited, she indeed imdiately saw Tu Jin. He was half-closing his eyes, raising a small cup of Spiritual Wine she brewed, looking carefree. Other demons from the Hidden Stream, including Qingluan, were scattered around other tables, casually chatting.

After coming out of the Ba Snake Mountain Range, she had put all the demons into the God Demon Prison, as He Sect Leader had ordered them to follow, with no one resisting, all subdued by Changtian. The Hidden Stream Demons, accustod to following the strong, had seen Lord Divine Monarch personally, and under severe ans of coercion, none dared be unfaithful.

Seeing Qingluan, Ning Xiaoxian chuckled. The White Bird, which Qi Zai transford into, was nestled in his wife’s arms, embraced by a beauty, lying with its claws up, and its little belly puffing up and down with its snores. No matter how loudly people talked, it wouldn’t wake up. She playfully tapped its belly twice, yet it still didn’t wake up.

It was completely worn out. After all, in long-distance flying, it and Qingluan were the protagonists.

She was too tired when she arrived, so she hadn’t taken a proper look at this human settlent. Now, walking out to have a careful look, from the short and dense houses, it was clear that there were indeed quite a few residents. This settlent was well-located, in the lee area of the Great Snow Mountain, nestled in a shallow mountain hollow, sheltered from the harsh north winds. The local temperature was slightly higher compared to other places in the snow mountain. So, in such a withering ti before early spring, she could still see light yellow moss outdoors.

Ahead was a wide river, likely sourced from the glacial ltwater of the Atalia Snow Mountain, with clear and sweet water. However, having entered winter, the flow was very slow, and the water was bone-chilling.

Before long, she discovered a curious sight: amidst the passing crowd, most were remarkably beautiful won! Just in her brief standing on the road, she saw no less than twenty or thirty pretty girls passing by, each with unique features. Although they weren’t nurtured by the lush soil of Central Earth, and their skin wasn’t as porcelain-like as Ning Xiaoxian’s, it was silky in a honey color, and they possessed the facial features of won from the Western Regions, with deep eyes and high noses and graceful contours.

This place was just the Northwest border, not even considered a small town, so why was it teeming with beauties? Moreover, was it her illusion, or did she always feel the passersby were in a hurry, brows furrowed, with a faintly tense atmosphere floating in the air of this human settlent area?

She shook her head. Whatever was about to happen here had nothing to do with her. Ning Xiaoxian returned to the inn, where the Hidden Stream demons gathered around, starting to report the situation to her.

During the ten-odd hours she slept, the demon guards weren’t idle but were gathering information on Atalia Snow Mountain according to Changtian’s orders. The Nanming Lihuo Sword was rely a three-foot-long azure blade; finding it in this vast snow mountain was no easy task.

Therefore, the first step was to gather as much information as possible. She had chosen to fly to this human settlent for a reason; as the last stop before advancing to the Great Snow Mountain, it was the most prosperous place for comrce and trade along the mountain’s edges. Humans are profit-driven creatures, and only in such densely populated and prosperous areas could the most comprehensive Atalia Snow Mountain information be collected. (To be continued.
