"Hmph! There are plenty more things you don't know!" Zhiyun pouted, "In any case, you had better weigh your options carefully. Don't think just because you know the Human Emperor Step that you're so impressive. There will always be someone better than you out there. Can you compare with our Immortal Young Master?"

Qin Feng chuckled and chose not to respond, but rather addressed everyone, "It's getting dark. Let's find a place to rest."

As he spoke,

he rode forward on the White Tiger.

Hearing him say "let's," those from Ao Shi Hall were excited and eagerly followed.

Zhiyun felt frustrated.

Despite all her talk, he still seemed utterly unconcerned and unthreatened, which prompted her to call out to his retreating back, "Hey, are you really not afraid?"

"Hehe..."

Qin Feng smiled and shook his head.

Why would he be afraid of himself?

Zhiyun grew even angrier.

He clearly didn't believe her at all!

With another clenched jaw, she said resentfully, "Fine! Since you're not afraid, right? Then I'll just fulfill your wish! When our Immortal Young Master stands up for me, I'll be waiting to see your pathetic begging!"

Having said this,

she had no choice but to follow behind Qin Feng.

Night fell.

The Bright Moon shone overhead.

The nights here were even colder.

If they were not cultivators, they would probably have frozen to death by now.

But they couldn't always use their inner strength to keep warm 24 hours a day; they hoped to relax completely when resting at night.

Qin Feng found a spot at the bottom of a hillside.

Then, he gathered some firewood and said, "Good, let's rest here tonight!"

"A campfire?"

Zhiyun saw him seeming ready to light a fire and disdainfully said, "This place is all ice and snow, and the branches are covered with a layer of ice. How could you possibly light a fire? How naive!"

But then.

As soon as she had finished speaking.

She saw a "whoosh", and the pile of firewood burst into flames.

The campfire was roaring.

It thoroughly dried out the moisture inside the branches.

The people from Ao Shi Hall were also overjoyed.

"It's great, it's been a long time since we had a fire. In such cold weather, to have a fire is just wonderful!"

"Yeah, whenever we tried to start a fire before, it would go out in less than two minutes."

"It's so warm, following Young Master Qin really paid off."

"..."

Seeing everyone's endless praise for Qin Feng, Zhiyun felt uncomfortable inside, but she was helpless as she also found sitting beside the campfire quite cozy...

Everyone started to chat idly by the campfire.

Out of curiosity, Qin Feng asked, "By the way, what is this Ghost Immortal Cave you all mentioned?"

"Oh? Young Master Qin, you didn't come here in search of the Ghost Immortal Cave?" an elder brother disciple asked.

"No, we came to find someone," Phoenix from the side added.

"I see, then you must visit the Ghost Immortal Cave. Because ninety-nine percent of the people who come here are in search of the Ghost Immortal Cave," the elder brother disciple explained, "I think the person you're looking for must have come for that reason as well."

"What exactly is the Ghost Immortal Cave?"

Phoenix asked again.

"This..."

The elder brother disciple didn't have much to say.

The elder from Ao Shi Hall explained, "Actually, we don't know either. We only heard a rumor that there is a Great Power who left many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in his Ghost Immortal Cave, and this Ghost Immortal Cave is located in North Country Forest Mountain."

"It is said that whoever obtains the treasure of the Ghost Immortal Cave could become a ruler of a region."

"Therefore, countless people have come here in search of it."

"The Broken Mountain Sect has only just been established and is in need of resources from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Otherwise, despite having seventy-two Sects, it will lack cohesion. Upon encountering troubles, they will each fight their own battles, and wealth is an important aspect of unity."

"Therefore, the Broken Mountain Sect is considering sending someone to try their luck here from afar."

"Some members of our Ao Shi Hall have come here."

"In short, it's just too difficult..."

The elder let out a long sigh.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng pondered for a moment and then asked, "So, after all this time, has no one found it?"

"No." Content sourced from * – My Virtual Library Empire.

The elder said, "In fact, some have even doubted the authenticity of the rumor and have gone back. Truthfully, as a small force from the south, we are often bullied here. We've been close to annihilation several times and thought of giving up and heading back to Qinling if we can't find anything in three more days."

"I see," Qin Feng said.

He was considering bringing out the Heavenly Map fragment.

But he wasn't sure if the Ghost Immortal Cave was the place for the Energy Baryte mentioned in the fragment, so he didn't take it out, and instead suggested, "In that case, you might as well just go back tomorrow."

"Why?" asked the elder.

"It's simple! Didn't you say that your strength is quite weak in this area and you could be sacrificed at any time? You're better off going back to recuperate," Qin Feng said while roasting some game, adding, "You are here to find treasure and to consolidate the strength of the Broken Mountain Sect. But you don't need to worry about that; the Broken Mountain Sect is rich enough to stabilize morale."

"How would you know that?" the elder asked.

Qin Feng smiled, glanced at Zhiyun, and said, "Didn't my little wife tell you? Behind the Broken Mountain Sect is an Immortal Young Master who is Unrivaled and Unmatched in the world. How could he possibly lack money?"

"..."

Zhiyun rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.

At this, the elder also said, "You're right. Although it is so, since we have come here, it would not be good to return empty-handed. Young Master Qin, why don't we search for the Ghost Immortal Cave together?"

"Err..."

Qin Feng was only interested in finding Energy Baryte.

He was interested in Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but he wasn't willing to waste a lot of time searching for them.

Just as he had the ability to gamble on stones.

But he wouldn't use stone gambling as his primary means of making a fortune.

At this moment.

Phoenix spoke up before Qin Feng could reply, "Alright, then we'll search together!"

Then she said to Qin Feng, "I think they're right, the person who came all this way must be for the Ghost Immortal Cave. This is also a clue. Otherwise, in the vast North Country Forest Mountain, we would have no way to search."

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

With Qin Feng there.

They no longer needed to fear the forces that wanted to annihilate them and could stay here a few more days to search.

"Speaking of which, what distinctive features does the person you are looking for have? We can also help you keep an eye out," the elder said joyously.

"He appears to be a photographer on the surface and has sealed his cultivation. However, it's so cold in North Country Forest Mountain. A person without cultivation shouldn't be able to survive here. I think he has unsealed his cultivation," Phoenix said.

"Don't worry, we will definitely help you look for him!" the elder and others said enthusiastically. "By the way, how strong is his cultivation?"

"A Grade Five Grandmaster," Phoenix said.

At that.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide and mouths agape, as if they were turned into frozen popsicles.

They somewhat regretted volunteering to help her search just moments ago.

A Grade Five Grandmaster!

It would be as easy to wipe them out as squashing a bunch of ants. Looking for such a person... wasn't that akin to seeking death...

"Elder, what's... what's wrong with you all?"

Phoenix, seeing their dazed expressions, was very puzzled.

"Oh, nothing, it's just that it's getting late, time to sleep, so tired..."

The elder and others quickly turned over to lie down and sleep.

Daring not to continue the earlier conversation...
