CH 93.1

The Snowy Gale Secret Realm opens once every ten years. Each time it was open for ten days.



The flow of time inside the realm was the same as the outside time and was similarly divided into day and night.



The reason why the Snowy Gale Secret Realm of Wind contains the words snowy and gale was because the moment the sun sets, gale and snow appear.



An inexperienced cultivator could be frozen to death.



Luan Qing Xiao carried Nie Zhen'er out of the valley until finally at Nie Zhen'er's insistence, she put her down and let her walk by herself.



Nie Zhen'er asked, "Mistress, where are we going to find the spiritual weapons?"



Luan Qing Xiao pointed to the snow-covered mountain off in the distance. "Over there, that mountain is the center of the Snowy Gale Secret Realm. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round and the spiritual weapons are buried underneath that snow."



Nie Zhen'er was surprised, "Wouldn't everyone be able to find a spiritual weapon then?"



A cultivator with a Golden Core cultivation level can remove all the snow with only a wave of their hand.



Luan Qing Xiao shook her head, "It's not that simple. At the top of the mountain, no cultivators  can use their spiritual power. People can only dig with their hands. It's all luck deciding what kind of weapons you’ll be able to find."



"Mistress, is there no other way to obtain a spiritual tool?" Digging through the snow with bare hands was simply too difficult, and she was really afraid of the cold.



"Of course, there is. There are all kinds of spirit beasts in the Snowy Gale Secret Realm. Spirit beasts only inhabit places where there are spiritual elixirs or weapons. If you encounter a spirit beast and defeat it, the spiritual elixir or weapon it guards is yours."



Nie Zhen'er pulled Luan Qing Xiao's sleeve, "Mistress, how about we go fight a spiritual beast instead?" She thinks the chance of victory through this battling was more promising.



Luan Qing Xiao bopped the tip of her nose. "Don’t you just want Mistress to help you beat the spiritual beast?"



Nie Zhen'er's starry eyes looked at Luan Qing Xiao as she said coquettishly. "With Zhen'er's low cultivation level, I’ll definitely not be able to defeat the spirit beast. Plus, Mistress said that she would give Zhen'er a spiritual weapon after reaching Foundation Building."



Luan Qing Xiao shook her head, "Mistress can't help you fight the spiritual beast. Spiritual weapons automatically form a bond with the person who defeats the spiritual beast. Even if Mistress is lucky enough to encounter ten or eight Spirit Beasts and defeat them, the spiritual weapons can only be used by Mistress."



Seeing the disappointment in Nie Zhen’er’s eyes, Luan Qing Xiao continued. “However, although Mistress can’t help you fight spirit beasts, I can help you dig snow. The spirit tools on the mountain peak are all unowned. If you’re lucky, you may be able to dig out a spiritual weapon with a weapon spirit."



Luan Qing Xiao was confident in her good luck. When she was outside of the Snowy Gale Secret Realm, she used the 20% favorability from Nie Zhen’er to draw a card. To which, she got [The Eyes of Reality]..



After using [The Eyes of Reality], Luan Qing Xiao can see through all the obscurations. Unlike others who were searching around aimlessly, she can dig out whichever one she fancies at the peak.



Right now, she is extremely glad that she hasn’t used this time-limited skill in the Maze of Illusions.



There wasn’t a trace of spiritual energy in Snowy Gale Secret Realm, so even the most powerful cultivator without qi to replenish their spiritual power will be no different from ordinary people after exhausting their reservoirs.



The cultivators have to stay here for ten days. Many people will save their spiritual power to resist against the wind and snow at night, while also keeping some spiritual power in case they need to fight or escape if they encounter a spiritual beast. Almost no one will use their flying device to get around.



Luan Qing Xiao wanted to protect Nie Zhen'er, and thus naturally she couldn't casually waste the spiritual power in her body.



Once Luan Qing Xiao finished explaining it to Nie Zhen'er, the two began to hike towards Feng Xue Mountain at the center of the Snowy Gale Secret Realm.



The mountain stood faintly in front of her, but after walking for a long time, the outline of Feng Xue Mountain still didn’t grow much larger.



Seeing the sun slanting westward, Luan Qing Xiao did not continue to move forward. Instead, she found a hidden place and took out a stone house that could accommodate two or three people from her space.



"It is very windy and snowy here after dark, we can withstand the wind and snow inside this."



Luan Qing Xiao asked Nie Zhen'er to wait for her inside, "I'm going to find some branches to make a fire to keep warm."



Since Luan Qing Xiao wasn’t a fire root, the spiritual power in her body is less effective for heating. Creating a fire can make up for that little deficiency.



Nie Zhen'er nodded obediently and entered the stone house as she watched Luan Qing Xiao walk away from the window.



When Luan Qing Xiao found this place, she saw a small forest not far away. Now the sun was sinking slowly, leaving only a trace of fiery red light. After Luan Qing Xiao walked into the forest, the sun had completely sunk. Luan Qing Xiao could only take out a luminous pearl from her space to illuminate the surroundings.



The blizzard came before the strong wind.



Feather-like snowflakes fell from the sky, and soon the ground was white.



Then the gale suddenly rose, fluttering the robe on Luan Qing Xiao and scaring away the games.



Luan Qing Xiao collected enough dry wood and was planning to head back to Nie Zhen'er as soon as possible.



The wind was whistling. Nie Zhen'er would definitely be scared listening to it.



【Ding! The third mandatory plot is coming! Ten minutes later, the male lead will find the stone house and meet the female lead. Please stay away from the stone house tonight! 】



Luan Qing Xiao: … ...



She narrowed her eyes coldly: You want me to keep away from the stone house and let Ying Yuan Yu approach Zhen'er?



【Host dada, I will help you guard her. Nothing will happen to the female lead, trust me! Don't get too agitated, what if you get ejected from the world?! That’ll be bad.】



Luan Qing Xiao took a deep breath of cold wind and gritted her teeth before walking in the opposite direction of the stone house.



Nie Zhen'er obediently waited for Luan Qing Xiao's return in the stone house. After a quarter of an hour, the wind and snow suddenly started. The cold breeze and snowflakes fluttered in through the small window. Nie Zhen'er stood up and stomped her feet. She was shaking all over and could only use her spiritual power to warm herself.



Remembering Luan Qing Xiao's words, Nie Zhen’er didn't dare to use too much spiritual power, just enough so she doesn’t freeze.



Since Nie Zhen'er was already this cold within the stone house, she couldn't help but worry even more about Luan Qing Xiao: With outside being this chilly, will Mistress be fine?



Suddenly, Nie Zhen'er heard the faint sound of footsteps. Because the location here isn’t easy to find, Nie Zhen'er thought Luan Qing Xiao had returned and hurried to the window to look.



The snow clouded her vision, Nie Zhen'er squinted her eyes and couldn't see anything. She could only call out, "Mistress, is that you?"



After Nie Zhen'er's voice came out, the footsteps outside paused without speaking.



The footsteps were getting closer, yet that person still remained silent. Nie Zhen'er was a little frightened. She stepped back and stared at the door.



The footsteps stopped outside the door, and the person outside finally spoke. "Junior Sister Zhen'er? It's me, Ying Yuan Yu."



"Senior Brother Ying?" Nie Zhen'er approached the door and asked cautiously, "How can you prove that you’re Senior Brother Ying?"



Ying Yuan Yu replied, "Junior Sister Zhen'er, you talked to me outside of the Snowy Gale Secret Realm. Because of Luan Shi Bo, I refrained from answering you. Up till now, I still feel bad. Right now, I’m dying from the cold outside. Junior Sister Zhen'er, can you let me into the stone house to shelter from the cold?"



Hearing Ying Yuan Yu was this pitiful, Nie Zhen'er’s heart softened for a moment. "I believe you are Senior Brother Ying. However, this stone house belongs to Mistress and Mistress hasn’t returned yet. If Mistress allows you in, then you can come in. "



In order to protect Nie Zhen'er's safety, Luan Qing Xiao placed a restriction on the stone house, in which only Nie Zhen'er could open the door from inside.



Even if Luan Qing Xiao came back, she still had to wait for Nie Zhen'er to open the door.
