The next morning, Feng Jiu and the others left. Everyone in the Ouyang family knew about it, but they all hesitated. The other party had already made it clear that they were not allowed to follow them. If they followed them, it would seem...
"Let's go! Follow them!"
The elder who had his eyes closed opened them and drank, but this drink still made his chest hurt. Thinking of the injury he had received from the young man last night, he could not help but clench his fists under his sleeves.
He was the grand elder of the Ouyang family, a man whom even the head of the family had to show courtesy to. Yet, he was actually injured by a kid. It was really embarrassing!
"Elder, this doesn't seem appropriate." The head of the Ouyang family frowned slightly: "They have already said that. If we follow them, it will really be..."
"You have to know that whether your father can successfully advance this time, and whether our Ouyang family can reach the next level, depends on whether we can pick the snow ling flower and use it as medicine!"
The old man looked at Patriarch Ouyang with a sullen expression and said, "The blooming period of the snow ling flower is one year. If we miss it this time, we will have to wait until next year. Do you think we will have another chance next time after missing it this time?"
The head of the Ouyang family remained silent. He knew that if he missed this chance, there would be no next time. However, as the head of a family, he also had self-esteem. Now that they had said this to him, if he still followed them, he would not be able to lose face.
So, he said in a calm voice: "Since you want to leave, then wait a moment! Let's take some time before leaving." After he said that, he didn't say any more to the elder, but walked to a tree not far away and sat down.
"you!"
When the elder saw this, he was so angry that his face turned red. Seeing him like this, he took a deep breath and stopped talking.
A few days later, Feng Jiu and the others, led by Jin Yifeng, came to the mountain with the snow-capped flowers and stopped. Jin Yifeng looked up and said to Feng Jiu and the others, "Look, this is the mountain. The snow-capped flowers grow on the cliff on the side. Because there is a fierce beast of the divine beast level next to the snow-capped flowers, no one has been able to pick the snow-capped flowers."
To pick the snow ling flower, the roots need to be dug out carefully. If the rhizome is broken, the medicinal effect will be lost from the rhizome. Therefore, it is impossible to fly up with a sword and pick the flower when the beast is not paying attention. Instead, it has to be dug out carefully.
Feng Jiu looked up at the mountain and said, "We can't see the snow ling flowers like this. We need to get closer, or go to the top of the cliff."
"There was no fog originally, but maybe it's because of the weather recently. There's fog all around so we can't see clearly. But, the more we go up in such weather, the greater the danger. Madam Xuanyuan, do you want to explore the way first, or send someone up to check it out before making any plans?" Jin Yifeng suggested.
"Well, you guys stay! Just wait here, we'll go up and take a look." Feng Jiu said, glancing at Leng Hua and the others.
"Master, let's go and take a look first! If there are any snow lilies, we can pick them." Leng Hua said, a little worried about her health.
Hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled and shook her head: "No, I have to go up, I don't want to make a wasted trip, and I'm not comfortable letting you guys dig, I have to go up and dig it myself, and it's best not to let the beast do it, lest the Xueling Flower be accidentally destroyed."
