Yun Qiuhua drifted over, looked him up and down, and said in amazement, ”It really is Snow Ganoderma, quite large... what good luck.”

”Is it really that big?” Xiao Ruoling asked.

”This is considered big,” Yun Qiuhua said. ”The one depicted in our book is large, but it’s almost impossible for it to grow that big. It grows too slowly.”

Xiao Ruoling said, ”This time we have entered a world of snow, everywhere is covered in snow, with nothing else. Have the Elders ever seen this?”

Yun Qiuhua thought for a moment, then shook her head: ”I haven’t heard of it, first time hearing of it.”

”Who picked the last Snow Ganoderma?” Xiao Ruoling asked.

”The last Snow Ganoderma was picked over a hundred years ago by the Palace Master,” Yun Qiuhua thought, ”It seemed to be on a very high peak where there was snow, and Snow Ganoderma grew there.”

Xiao Ruoling laughed, ”And have we entered yet another place for the first time?”

This meant they had entered a new place again.

In Yao Yue Palace, records showed these entrances had now added up to 121.

Adding this snow world, that would make it 122, an unimaginably vast Secret Land.

”Hmm, it should be the first time,” Yun Qiuhua said in amazement, looking at Chu Zhiyuan, ”Really good luck.”

This wasn’t the Holy Daughter’s luck.

The Holy Daughter had entered several times but never entered the Initial Land.

It was only after the Princely Heir came that they entered the Initial Land together.

Twice now.

The Initial Land holds great significance.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Seems like my luck isn’t bad.”

Borrowing a bit of Xu Yingying’s luck indeed worked.

Xu Yingying truly possessed overwhelming luck, truly remarkable.

”The Princely Heir’s luck truly is great,” Yun Qiuhua laughed, ”Should definitely come often.”

Entering the Secret Land, the most important factor for success is luck.

The Princely Heir has such luck and is so generous and magnanimous, which is truly a great fortune for Yao Yue Palace.

It would be best if he often came to the Secret Land or even stayed at the Guest Peak.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Normally my luck isn’t good, but with Ruoling, my luck improves.”

Xiao Ruoling softly chuckled.

Yun Qiuhua giggled, ”The Princely Heir sure knows how to charm people.”

The two bid farewell to Yun Qiuhua, and Xiao Ruoling went back to change clothes first.

...

In the small courtyard of Chu Zhiyuan.

He sat by the stone table in the courtyard.

The fist-sized Demon Crystal was placed in the center of the stone table.

Five Flying Knives were resting on the Demon Crystal, emitting a faint glow, flickering like breathing.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at them in surprise, not expecting that Yunling also had shortcuts, just like when he had reached that realm with the Glazed Glass Blade.

Just now, when he was studying the Demon Crystal, an idea flashed in his mind, recalling the Glazed Glass Blade’s quick mastery with the Demon Crystal. Could Yunling do the same?

He attached the five Flying Knives to the Demon Crystal and then activated the Yunling technique.

Their spirituality was rapidly increasing, and Yunling immediately became several times faster.

When Xiao Ruoling gently pushed the door open and entered the courtyard, she saw Chu Zhiyuan staring at the Demon Crystal, looking delighted.

She quietly sat down opposite him without making a sound.

Chu Zhiyuan looked over at her and saw that she had changed into a snow-white silk robe, with a faint subtle fragrance lingering.

She had clearly freshened up, her face like a lotus, exceptionally radiant.

”What is this...?” Xiao Ruoling curiously watched the five Flying Knives glowing, their light becoming increasingly intense.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”The Demon Crystal is very beneficial for the practice of the Glazed Blade Scripture.”

”Be careful using Demon Crystals,” Xiao Ruoling whispered, ”No one dares to use them for cultivation, only incorporating a little when refining pills.”

Demon Crystals can enhance cultivation, but no one dares to do it.

Within the Demon Crystal is the Primordial Spirit and soul of the Demon Beast, and absorbing its power also absorbs the soul and Primordial Spirit of the Demon Beast.

It can lead to madness, hallucinations, or death.

Even the mildest effects can prevent one from reaching the level of Grandmaster.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”I haven’t absorbed their power into my body, blending it into the blade is no problem... the Glazed Blade Scripture is domineering, even if it’s the complete soul of a Demon Beast, it can still be completely destroyed.”

The Glazed Blade Scripture is indeed that domineering.

Xiao Ruoling nodded gently, knowing that Chu Zhiyuan was extremely cautious in this regard, so she didn’t need to say more.

”Actually, about this Snow Ganoderma...” Xiao Ruoling said helplessly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”No need to selfishly keep it, there are no secrets in the world of walls.”

Excavating the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Yao Yue Palace’s Secret Land in secret for oneself would tarnish the Holy Daughter’s reputation.

This was something Chu Zhiyuan was unwilling to do.

Moreover, this Secret Land is so strange, who knows if Yao Yue Palace has other means to see what happens inside?

Why become a petty person?

He was no longer who he used to be, and with this achievement of destroying Da Lie’s four camps, he no longer lacked merits.

Going into the Secret Land, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are just a bonus, the real purpose is to understand the mysteries of the Secret Land and the profundities of heaven and earth.

If he could obtain more legacies, that would be best, helping to expand his martial arts vision and gain more insights into martial arts.

”Alas... alright,” Xiao Ruoling reluctantly agreed, taking a Jade Bottle out of her sleeve and handing it to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan took it, opened it to see a Spirit Pill, red in color, the size of a Dragon Eye.

Xiao Ruoling said, ”This is what the Palace Master personally gave me when I went back to change clothes just now.”

”What Spirit Pill is it?” Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Xiao Ruoling said, ”The Palace Master said it’s a Body Refinement Spirit Pill, brought from Da Meng’s Phoenix Sect, named Phoenix Blood Pill. It can transform your body, useless to me, but useful to you.”

Chu Zhiyuan took it, examining it closely, ”A Spirit Pill from the Phoenix Sect, the Palace Master is quite resourceful... then I’ll take it now.”

Xiao Ruoling said, ”I’ll protect you on the side, hasn’t Zou Fang arrived yet?”

”Should be today,” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Xiao Ruoling said, ”I’ll be outside, go inside and take the pill.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, went inside and examined the red Elixir Pill.

Completely round, with a red glow faintly flowing within, the redness carrying a subtle burning sensation.

Could it be true that Phoenixes exist in this world?

This Phoenix Blood Pill felt very extraordinary.

Li Hongzhao must have already taken this Phoenix Blood Pill long ago.

Slowly, he brought it to his mouth, received no warning from his intuition, and thus swallowed it.

Immediately, a flame surged into his stomach, then exploded, as if he was instantly plunged into magma.

All his internal organs seemed to be ablaze, even his skin felt hot and painful.

He felt pain throughout his entire body, almost to the point of fainting.

In this state of pain almost causing him to faint, he remained capable of calm thinking and Insight.

The Super Sense allowed him to remain as calm as a deity.

He observed the changes within and around his body.

The speed of the Dragon Transformation Technique suddenly accelerated.

The Flying Dragon Ball was always within his sleeve, and whenever it was idle, the Dragon Transformation Technique was always running on its own.

Having taken the Phoenix Blood Pill, the speed of the Dragon Transformation Technique doubled again.

The Golden Qi within his body was astonishingly fast, like a flood bursting through a dam.

Even his meridians faintly ached.

Chu Zhiyuan found it strange.

None of the Spirit Pills he had taken before had caused such oddities, or stimulated the Dragon Transformation Technique so quickly.

Could it be related to ”Phoenix Blood”?

Is there a special synergistic effect between dragon and phoenix?

The essence of the Phoenix Blood Pill quickly merged into the Dragon Transformation Technique, making the golden Qi of the Dragon Transformation Technique even brighter.

As the golden Qi dispersed toward his skin, the skin developed fine textures, forming strange patterns that were rapidly becoming clearer.

The Refining Scales were advancing rapidly.
