Rebirth: Holding on to the golden thigh and showing off

With eight full moons in the sky, we continued our journey to the mountains.

Although it looks very close, it still takes two nights to reach the foot of the mountain. If there is enough spiritual energy, it only takes half a day.

The closer you get to the mountains, the more people you see, both individuals and teams.

In addition, under the guidance of the system, Chu Yan took great effort to find Helian Yi.

There was actually a pair of sisters following him, and they seemed to be getting along quite well.

Chu Yan was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes in front of Helian Yi, but she forced herself to hold it back. It was all for her luck.

A group of them also headed towards the mountains.

After two nights of travel, we finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

I heard someone in front of me exclaim, "We can see the altar over this mountain!"

When everyone heard this, they quickened their pace and continued to climb the mountain while there was still moonlight.

"It's almost dawn, let's find a place to rest."

We could feel the temperature rising even before the sun rose into the sky, so we found the roots of a large tree nearby.

Qing Si dug the soil quickly, and he felt more comfortable only when he dug deep into the soil.

All the trees on the mountain are bare and break at the touch of a finger. All the moisture has been completely evaporated.

Not long after we entered the cave, eight scorching suns slowly rose.

"It's so hot and I'm so hungry, Xiaowei. I'm about to turn into a grilled fish." Helian Jiaojiao spread out on the ground like a pancake.

She looked so pitiful, so I took out the big ice cubes that I had stored for making iced sugar water and asked her to hold them.

When I turned around, I saw Qingsi looking at me eagerly. What could I do? I had to take out another piece and give it to him.

Everyone has it, so how can Xuan Qingli not have it? It can only be more, not less, two big ice cubes.

Qing Si took out a piece of black stone and blocked the entrance of the cave, leaving only a gap for ventilation.

In the narrow cave, the temperature dropped a lot, and bursts of cold air came out of the ice.

"There may be a fight tonight, and your body will not be able to take a break from not sleeping for a few days. You guys go to sleep first, and I'll keep an eye on you."

Everyone followed Xuan Qingli's arrangements.

Ice cubes melt into water easily. I take out some of them, and whoever is keeping an eye on them will be responsible for refilling the ice cubes.

By the time I was woken up by Helian Jiaojiao, the scorching sun was almost gone.

We are going to cross this mountain tonight.

Soon we were over the mountain and we could see it from the top.

In the center of the wide plain stands a huge stone altar, with tall stone steps leading up to it.

It emits a faint silver light under the illumination of the moon.

Helian Jiaojiao immediately saw Helian Yi standing opposite her, "Brother, brother!"

Chu Yan and his group heard it and came towards us.

The sisters coming towards me look familiar. I seem to have seen them somewhere.

"The Fire Sparrow Country Post Station, stolen items." Xuan Qingli reminded softly.

Yes, they were detained as suspects at that time.

"Buddha's son, we are really destined to meet here." Chu Yan showed his face in front of Xuan Qingli, trying to increase his favorability.

"We have a closer relationship with the old lady who sells tofu pudding at the foot of Fozong Mountain. We see her almost every few days."

"How can this be the same? Xiaowei, do you have enough Qi-boosting pills on you, Buddha? I still have a lot here."

"No, thank you. Keep it for yourself. No one will save you when the time comes."

Even after being scolded by me, Chu Yan still smiled, and this time she managed to keep her composure.

Chu Yan has been competing with the sisters in wits and courage these days. They have openly and secretly accused her of being stingy and fussy, which has already caused Helian Yi to have some complaints.

He doesn't care about what I say to him. He endures his small anger and pursues his greater goal.

Chu Yan must persist! Persistence is victory.

What the little book said is right, it is true that people who don’t care about their expressions are invincible.

"Hello, Buddhist disciple. We are Xia Lian and Xia Yi from Lehua Palace." They were dressed in white robes, looking so spotless in the dim night.

Xuan Qingli nodded slightly and asked about what happened after they came in.

Xia Lian, Xia Yi and Helian Yi were teleported to the desert, and then they traveled together.

Chu Yan was sent to the iceberg, where he harvested many snow fruits under the guidance of the system, replenished his spiritual energy and refined qi-replenishing pills.

With the help of these Qi-replenishing pills, he also made friends with several independent cultivators with relatively good luck, and the harvest was quite good.

Everyone inferred that the scarcity of spiritual energy in the secret realm was due to this altar. There were good things underneath, which absorbed a lot of spiritual energy.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes lit up.

They kept exploring around the altar, and their ultimate goal was the treasure beneath it.

Our group also took advantage of the moonlight to go on stage.

I saw a huge stone tablet. I couldn’t understand a single word on it. It looked like both grass and fish.

Xuan Qingli seemed to have some clues and took out a book from the storage ring and started reading it.

Someone saw them coming over immediately. They had been to the altar last night and searched everywhere but found nothing.

"Brother, what is written on the stone tablet?"

"Is there any clue we can exchange?"

"Let's give the book away, and we can all work together to destroy the words on it."

More people gathered around after hearing the noise, and some even wanted to take the book from Xuan Qingli's hand.

Many people wanted to find treasures and leave here, but the cost was too great and they didn’t find anything good.

As more people came, we all started to get anxious and got closer and closer.

Little Red and Little Green followed my instructions, opened their arms, stepped forward and pushed them back.

They pushed but failed to open them, then they realized that these two puppets were extraordinary.

Some of the independent cultivators became greedy and secretly took note of our appearance, waiting for the right opportunity to seize the treasure.

"Why don't you share what's in your storage ring?" I was so angry and amused by some people's shameless words.

"Little sister, what you said is not the same."

"Everyone wants to crack the altar quickly, get the treasure and get out earlier."

"Then we can divide the treasure equally."

Qing Si heard this and immediately joined our battle.

"What do you mean by everyone's your family or my family's? Don't recognize relatives randomly. Just move away and stop gathering around."

Seeing that Ling Yue was about to disappear, everyone had no choice but to disperse and find a place to hide from the scorching sun.

Several wandering cultivators stared at me viciously, and a chill ran through my back, making me move closer to Xuan Qingli.

We dug a cave and everyone sat on the ground.

Xuan Qingli took out pen and ink and started writing and drawing.

We, who are of no help, are eating and drinking to recharge our batteries for the fierce battle tonight.

Xia Lian and Xia Yi took out the tea set and made tea. The faint scent of snow mountain tea filled the air.

Chu Yan also took out many desserts.

One of them attracted me the most. It had a white and soft milk flavor and was topped with fresh spiritual fruit. It looked very tempting.

"This is a cake, a dessert that Chu Yan made to please my brother. It's really delicious." Helian Jiaojiao stuffed it into my hands.

It melts in your mouth as it's slightly cool, and the sweet but not greasy rich milk flavor blooms on your tongue.

The yellow color in the middle has a dense texture and goes perfectly with the fresh fruit.

I secretly hid a piece in a small space, intending to return it to the Buddhist sect and hand it over to Elder Minghui of the Wei Tian Temple. I think I should be able to replicate it after some thought.

What about pudding, nougat, milk soup...

Even Xuan Qingli, who doesn't like sweets, made an exception and tried a lot.

When Chu Yan saw that there was a chance, she was overjoyed. It turned out that to catch a man, you have to capture his stomach first.

I secretly hid a lot of them, but I didn't know that this would actually cut off Chu Yan's way to get close to Helian Yi with the desserts.

Chu Yan has been following the system's reminders to get closer to the chosen one, but unfortunately the progress is not very good. Since the last breakthrough to the early stage of Golden Core, his cultivation has not improved.
