Once she landed, Qianqian, still unsatisfied and a bit reluctant, emerged from Qin Xuan's embrace.
"This humble one thanks Young Master. If not for Young Master, I wouldn't have been able to reach here so easily."
Qianqian's face was slightly flushed as she bowed to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan withdrew his gaze from surveying the surroundings and waved his hand with a smile towards Qianqian.
"No matter. Fairy and I both benefit from this cooperation. Fairy helped me find the kun peng heavenly bone, and it is only right that I help Fairy find this place. Fairy need not dwell on it."
As he spoke, Qin Xuan looked around, a hint of confusion flashing across his face.
This was a snowfield, and not far away stood a tall snow mountain.
This wasn't the most surprising thing to him.
What truly surprised him was that snowflakes were constantly falling here.
He wondered what method the Kunpeng used for snowflakes to appear here.
"What a magnificent feat. From the Ancient Era until today, snow still falls here. This is not something an ordinary person could achieve. Truly worthy of the Kunpeng."
Qin Xuan praised, while Qianqian smiled beside him.
"Young Master, why don't you try to see what these snowflakes are made of?"
Qianqian extended her hand and caught a snowflake.
Qin Xuan was momentarily stunned, then emulated her, extending his hand to catch a snowflake.
When the snowflake landed on his hand, a look of surprise flashed across Qin Xuan's face.
"This is Spiritual Qi!"
Qianqian smiled and nodded, then swallowed the snowflake.
"Young Master is right. All these snowflakes are made of Spiritual Qi. The Kunpeng once buried a Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Pearl beneath this snow mountain. This Profound Ice Pearl can solidify the nearby Spiritual Qi, making it fall like snowflakes, which is why this place always has snow."
Qianqian explained with a smile, and Qin Xuan nodded slightly.
Qianqian must have some channels to know these things.
As for what specific channels, since Qianqian didn't want to say, Qin Xuan didn't ask. There was still this tacit understanding between them.
After all, both parties were merely getting what they needed.
After some thought, Qin Xuan looked towards the snow mountain.
"Fairy, where should we go next? Your Sect's secret treasure surely isn't just buried randomly underground, is it?"
Qianqian sighed and pointed to the snow mountain ahead.
"That is the final destination for this trip."
"In the snow mountain? I didn't expect your Sect's Senior to go there."
Qin Xuan thought for a moment and nodded.
"Then let's go together."
As Qin Xuan spoke, a hint of confusion flashed in his mind.
How strong was that Senior from the Star Gate back then, to be able to enter the Kun Peng Nest before it even opened?
Not only that, but he even left a heavy treasure here.
There were indeed many strange things about it.
However, since it had nothing to do with him, he naturally didn't bother to ask.
"Good, with Young Master assisting, it will be even safer."
Qianqian did not object and walked side by side with Qin Xuan towards the snow mountain.
The snow mountain was not far from here. After walking for a short while, they arrived near the front of the snow mountain. Qin Xuan then stopped and looked ahead.
In front of them stood an ice sculpture.
The ice sculpture was of an exquisitely beautiful woman, lifelike, with her hand gently raised, eyes open, and a slight smile on her face.
Looking at the ice sculpture, a strange expression flashed across Qin Xuan's face. He looked at Qianqian beside him with some confusion.
Qianqian also looked at the ice sculpture with immense astonishment, various complex emotions flashing across her face.
There was surprise, astonishment, anticipation, and even a hint of fear.
"This, what is going on?"
Qianqian stared blankly at the ice sculpture in front of her, her hands trembling slightly.
Qin Xuan walked over and patted her shoulder.
"Fairy, don't be nervous. Perhaps your Sect had their reasons for sending you here. This ice sculpture might be the answer."
"Perhaps, that Senior from your Sect back then divined something, which is why he left such an ice sculpture!"
As he spoke, Qin Xuan looked at the ice sculpture, a strange expression flashing across his face.
No other reason than the ice sculpture looked exactly like Qianqian.
How strange, how could an ice sculpture left so long ago look exactly like Qianqian?
Although Qin Xuan was comforting Qianqian, he couldn't help but murmur to himself.
Could it be that that Senior truly divined that someone would come later, and deliberately erected such a statue here?
No, that's not right!
Qin Xuan shook his head.
If that were the case, then there shouldn't be only this one statue here; there should be one of him too!
There must be a big problem here!
Qin Xuan looked at the statue strangely, his fists slightly clenched. If the situation turned sour, he was ready to act at any moment.
After a while, Qin Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid Qi and glanced at Qianqian beside him.
Qianqian stared at the statue for a long time, her hands trembling slightly.
Then she leaned closer to Qin Xuan.
"Young Master, what do you think is going on?"
Qianqian looked at Qin Xuan in confusion. At this moment, she was utterly bewildered.
She didn't know how to handle the current situation.
Looking at Qianqian, Qin Xuan also shook his head helplessly.
"Fairy, I really don't know what's going on with this situation. Didn't your Sect's Elders mention this when Fairy left?"
Normally, since the Star Gate members are skilled in divination, someone should have given Qianqian a heads-up beforehand.
Qianqian was extremely bewildered. She pointed at the statue in front of her, a complex expression flashing across her face, as if she was pondering or painfully recalling something.
"When I left, the Elders of the Sect only told me to go there to retrieve the Legacy secret treasure. They didn't mention anything else at all."
"Before coming, I also performed a divination, and the results always showed that there would be thrills but no danger, so I didn't take it too seriously and came straight here."
"It seems there's some secret within!"
Qianqian shook her head, trying hard to calm her agitated emotions.
After a while, she gave Qin Xuan a shy smile.
"I made Young Master worry. I'm fine, let's keep going!"
As she spoke, she sighed, took Qin Xuan's hand, and bypassed the statue, heading towards the snow mountain.
"This woman seems to have recalled something, but she finds it inconvenient to let you know, which is why she's taking you away. Whatever happens, you must be careful!"
Qin Xuan felt that Qianqian seemed to have recovered her memory, but he didn't say much. Then he nodded and followed Qianqian towards the snow mountain.
"Fairy, rest assured. Since we have an agreement, I will certainly protect you! Let's go, let's check out the snow mountain. Fairy, you should also sense the location of that Legacy secret treasure so we can find that thing early and leave this place quickly."
