"How is it? Can you use these ingredients to refine the pill?" Snow Wolf King asked.
Sima You Yue regained her senses and said, "Although you don't have all the ingredients, you have most of them. I can supply the rest of the ingredients, however, I want half of the refined pills."
"As long as you can revive Firmament, it wouldn't be a problem even if you wanted all of the remaining." Snow Wolf King said.
"Done! I'll start refining once I've prepared a bit." Seeing that Snow Wolf King agreed so swiftly and without hesitation, she went ahead to select a few types of ingredients and said, "Let's go."
Sima You yue left Snow Mountain and followed Snow Wolf King down to the outside. She turned on the furnace and began to refine.
After half a day pa.s.sed, the pill was successfully refined. With the help of the spiritual qi replenishing pill, she successfully refined a six ranked pill.
"It's done." She wiped the sweat off her face and, with a pale face, produced four pills split into two halves. She gave half to Snow Wolf King and kept the remaining two for herself.
Snow Wolf King watched the entire process of her refining pills. When he saw her take out the petals and put in two, he noticed she looked quite exhausted. Knowing that she was quite tired from refining this pill, he said, "You can go to the cultivation ground to recover your spiritual qi."
Sima You Yue didn't stand on ceremony either, and got Halcyon to carry her over to the cave. She crossed her legs beside the pond and began to cultivate.
It went without saying that the speed of which one cultivated was much faster here as compared to other places. Her inner spiritual qi had almost been completely depleted. She would need at least an entire day to recover it completely, but she managed to accomplish that within half a day.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that Halcyon happened to be daydreaming in front of a wall.
"Halcyon, what are you looking at?"
Halcyon pointed at the wall and said, "This wall is quite strange."
Sima You Yue stood up and walked beside him, asking, "What's strange about it?"
"There's some strange fluctuations within it." Halcyon answered.
"Strange fluctuations?" Sima You Yue sensed it attentively, saying, "It does seem slightly different. Could the back of the wall be empty?"
"Should be." Halcyon said, "Or possibly, this may not be a wall but another world."
"World?"
Sima You Yue walked over with confusion and stretched forth a hand to touch it. When she touched it, it didn't feel like a stone wall at all.
"Are we going to take a look?" She was a bit curious about what was behind it and turned around to look at Halcyon.
"This time, it isn't possible." Halcyon said, "Someone's coming."
Sima You Yue heard the sound of footsteps, following which, a snow wolf walked over.
That snow wolf saw that Sima You Yue was full of life, and his face revealed his shock, "You've already recovered?"
"That's right. What's up?" Sima You Yue asked.
"Our King said that the previous king has already regained consciousness, and wanted me to come and see if you were done. I'm supposed to take you over once you came out." That snow wolf said.
"Then let's go."
Sima You Yue and the others came to a huge cave. That cave was decorated in a similar fashion to the human's palaces. There were quite a few treasures. However, because they didn't know their value, they randomly threw them about.
When she entered, she saw that Fatty Qu was currently drooling in front of some rock. It looked like he realised they were treasures.
On the other hand, Wei Zi Qi and the others were currently sitting on chairs, chatting amicably with the Snow Wolf King.
On the stone table behind the Snow Wolf King lay a snow wolf, eyes closed in recuperation.
Seeing that Sima You Yue had entered, Snow Wolf King said, "I thought that it would require an entire day. I didn't expect that you would recover so quickly."
"Cultivating in that area isn't bad." Sima You Yue nodded at the Snow Wolf King. Then, she looked at the snow wolf behind and asked, "Is he the High King?"
Firmament opened his eyes and looked at Sima You Yue, saying, "He's the one who rescued me?"
"It was merely a mutual exchange." Sima You Yue said.
"I still thank you." Firmament closed his eyes after speaking. It appeared that he had not completely recovered.
"We called you here this time because we wanted to tell you that Firmament has already woken up. As such, you all can go to the cave and cultivate." Snow Wolf King said, "As for what you talked about earlier, we still need to discuss."
"Where is the sabre-tooth tigers' territory?" Sima You Yue asked.
"You want to go there?" Snow Wolf King asked.
"Zi Qi and the others will remain here, but it will be useless for the others who are of the flame attribute to cultivate here." Sima You Yue said, "You said that there's an area suitable for those with the fire attribute to cultivate where the sabre-tooth tigers are, so I want to take them there."
"The sabre-tooth tiger's territory isn't far. We can point you in the right direction, but we can't bring you there." Snow Wolf King said.
Snow wolves and sabre-toothed tigers were enemies. If they were to go to their territory, they may not make it back alive.
"No problem." Sima You Yue said.
"Then when do you want to move out?" Snow Wolf King asked.
"Now." Sima You Yue said, "Zi Qi, Little Tu, you both cultivate here. With the Snow Wolf King here, I don't think you'll be in any danger."
"Okay." Wei Zi Qi and Little Tu nodded.
"Fourth Bro, Fatty, Ouyang, Beigong, let's head to the Sabre-tooth tiger's territory."
Although Fatty, Ouyang Fei and Beigong had other attributes as well, the one they used the most was fire. Right now, they had to first strengthen their flame attributes.
"I'll send men to send you for a bit, after that, you can you can head to their lands by yourself." Snow Wolf King said.
"I must thank you, then."
Snow Wolf King called a six ranked divine beast and got him to take Sima You Yue and the others over. After that he called another snow wolf to take Wei Zi Qi and Little Tu to the cave.
Firmament waited until they all left before he opened his eyes.
"Rong, can they really help us leave this place?"
Rong was the current Snow Wolf King.
Although they lived here, they knew of the outside world. This was an oracle pa.s.sed down from the first generation.
Once they knew that there were sacred beasts out there, as well as ranks higher than sacred beasts while they were forever stuck at divine rank here, they started to look for ways to get out of here.
Who knows whether it had been a few or a few tens of generations' exploration, they realised that they had no other way of leaving this place apart from forming a contract with people. Being proud, they were unwilling to take this path. As such, they could only continue to remain here.
However, they never stopped looking for a way out of here. They longed to leave and gain more power and longer life. They had a desire for their descendents to live in a vast world.
"Firmament, you saw it yourself. The one by his side was a sacred beast." Snow Wolf King said, "If we go out, we can leave these restrictions behind and will no longer be suppressed."
"But is that person reliable? We've tried for hundreds of years without success. Will he really have a way to get us out of here?" An elder wolf asked.
"I want to trust him." Snow Wolf King said, "I can feel it. He's different from the ones before. He was very confident when he said that he could bring us out. I think… he shouldn't be lying to us…"
