Chapter 106 Snow Crystal
The group cautiously entered the palace, and upon stepping inside, they were awestruck by the vast expanse before them.
Surprisingly, the interior of this spacious and grand palace was devoid of any exquisite decorations. Looking around, the entire palace was empty, as if it were a desolate wasteland.
Chu Shihhan frowned slightly, muttering to herself with suspicion, "Why would a palace suddenly appear here? It's so strange!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu pondered for a moment and speculated, "Perhaps this place is part of some ancient ruins."
Filled with questions and a hint of wariness, the group moved slowly and quietly forward.
When they finally arrived at the very center of the palace, something unexpected happened—the previously dull ground suddenly shone with a bright and dazzling light, and then a mysterious and complex magic circle suddenly took shape.
Upon seeing this, Shi Yu's expression changed drastically. He wanted to warn them, but it was too late.
A flash of light appeared, and in the blink of an eye, everyone, including Shi Yu, vanished from their spot without warning.
After a dazzling halo, Ye Chuxue slowly opened her eyes and was shocked to find herself in a completely unfamiliar place.
All around was a silver-clad, snow-covered landscape, with dense trees standing like loyal guardians in this vast, boundless snow-covered forest.
Ye Chuxue looked around, trying to find her other companions, but no matter how hard she tried, there was no one else in her sight except herself.
"Where am I?" Ye Chuxue stood in a white world, her eyes revealing a hint of doubt and confusion.
She looked around, but could see nothing but endless white snow and distant, faintly visible mountain peaks.
Just as she was about to expand her search to find other people, suddenly, a virtual panel flashing with blue light appeared in front of Ye Chuxue without warning.
The panel seemed to appear out of thin air, startling Ye Chuxue.
After calming down a bit, Ye Chuxue looked closely and found that the panel was covered with densely packed characters the size of ants.
These characters are crooked and arranged in a chaotic manner, making it impossible to discern their meaning.
Ye Chuxue frowned, trying to decipher these strange symbols, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't understand their mystery.
Left with no other choice, Ye Chuxue raised her wrist and whispered to the bracelet on it, "Xinmang, begin language translation."
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear reply came from the bracelet: "Okay."
Immediately afterwards, a faint light shone from the bracelet and shone on the virtual panel.
With the help of Xinmang, those originally obscure and difficult-to-understand characters gradually began to change.
As if by magic, they automatically combined into characters that Ye Chuxue could recognize.
In no time, a complete text appeared before Ye Chuxue's eyes.
"Respected soldier, welcome to the Snow Realm. Here, you will embark on a two-month arduous training program."
Your mission is to collect as many snow crystals as possible, no matter how many you collect. The more snow crystals you collect, the greater the rewards you will receive.
May Lady Luck smile upon you.
Before Ye Chuxue could even think about what she had read, the virtual panel changed once again.
This time, a striking countdown number appeared at the top of the panel—59 days.
At the same time, a line of text appeared in the previously blank space below the panel: Snow Crystal Quantity: 0.
It seems that in the next two short months, I must spare no effort to collect more snow crystals.
However, what's troubling is that Ye Chuxue has absolutely no idea what Xuejing actually looks like!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of annoyance, but what could she do now that things had come to this? For the time being, she had to put aside the search for Xue Jing and find Song Wan Ning as soon as possible.
Just then, Ye Chuxue inadvertently noticed a strange light shimmering under a large tree not far away.
Upon closer inspection, she saw a crystal-clear piece of jade-like material placed under the tree.
Overjoyed, Ye Chuxue rushed over in a few quick steps, then very carefully extended her right hand and gently touched the mysterious crystal.
The moment her fingertips touched the surface of the crystal, something magical happened—the crystal, which had been lying there quietly, vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, a virtual panel that only she could see suddenly popped up in front of Ye Chuxue, and the number of snow crystals displayed on it jumped from zero to one.
"Oh my, so this is the legendary snow crystal!" Ye Chuxue exclaimed excitedly upon realizing what it meant. She quickly reached out, took out the snow crystal, and held it tightly in her hand.
Even now, the snow crystals still radiate a captivating luster, just like a dazzling gemstone.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Chuxue had a sudden idea: Now that she had obtained the snow crystal, why not try to absorb it directly and turn it into her own?
With this in mind, she began to slowly circulate the spiritual energy within her body.
As her spiritual energy circulated, the snow crystal she held tightly in her palm suddenly emitted a soft light, and strands of energy, like silk or mist, began to seep into her palm continuously.
Ye Chuxue immediately felt a refreshing coolness spread rapidly along her arm, and in the blink of an eye, it spread to every corner of her body.
This wonderful feeling completely captivated her, and to her even greater surprise, her already abundant spiritual power seemed to receive some kind of nourishment, becoming even stronger and more plentiful under the coolness!
The snow crystals gradually shrank, and after being fully absorbed, Ye Chuxue discovered that her cultivation had increased slightly.
Although it was only a small amount, it was still the result of my efforts over two or three days.
This discovery thrilled Ye Chuxue, and she decided to change her approach, collecting snow crystals while searching for others.
Ye Chuxue looked up and noticed that snow crystals were scattered everywhere.
Besides the ones I found under the tree, there were crystals everywhere—on the trees, in the bushes, and in the snow.
"It seems I can start collecting some snow crystals," Ye Chuxue thought to herself.
Ye Chuxue decided to first determine how much snow crystals she needed to absorb based on the amount of snow crystals she collected, as she herself did not know how many snow crystals she would require.
