Xia Fei didn't say much in response to Yifu's words.

She had the highest cultivation and experience in the team.

He couldn't refute even if she took all the resources.

Because that's the privilege of the strong!

After about ten ancient hours of rest, the group left the tree hole.

There was no night in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm.

As long as one had enough energy, they could continue treasure hunting in the realm.

Now, Xia Liu's group was only walking on the outskirts of the secret realm.

They didn't have to worry about encountering any high-rank spirit beasts.

So with sufficient spiritual power within them, they could continue exploring.

However, they had to be cautious of other teams, as killing for treasures was most common in the Cultivation Realm.

If they happened to encounter a team with a Golden Pill Stage expert.

If the other side intended to rob, it would be wise to hand over the storage bags and then bow down in submission.

Foundation Establishment cannot challenge the might of a Golden Pill Stage expert.

Yifu had already made up her mind.

Once the storage bag was full of supplies, she would immediately return.

On the way back, they would surely encounter ordinary demon beasts.

At that time, she could easily slaughter them and let Xia Fei and the others handle them.

She came here not to seek that elusive chance of Core Formation.

But to hunt demon beasts, hoping to kill some spirit beasts if lucky.

That would indeed be a huge gain.

As for that so-called Core Formation opportunity.

Thousands of cultivators entered the Extreme Cold Secret Realm without finding it.

She was just a Foundation Establishment Late Stage, along with three ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Still thinking about Core Formation?

To not be robbed by strong cultivators halfway would already be fortunate.

With supplies in hand, Yifu became even more concerned.

If she weren't worried about being attacked alone and unable to escape easily, she might have left already.

Now with four people, if three or four Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators were to intercept and rob them.

She could escape while Xia Fei and Xia Liu resisted.

This opportunity was not something she would miss.

Of course, she also wanted to hunt a spirit beast, so she continued to venture deeper.

After passing through the ancient snow forest, the four arrived atop a mountain range.

Surrounded by snow, their walking pace slowed.

If they stepped into a void and couldn't react quickly, they might instantly fall into a bottomless cold hole.

Ordinary valleys, or even cliffs, posed no threat to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But the cold holes in the secret realm were different.

They were filled with extreme cold force.

If struck by such cold force, even Golden Pill Stage experts would be distressed.

Just like Fan Dexing at the time, whose Foundation Establishment cultivation was stricken by cold poison, suffering for countless years.

Fortunately, Xia Liu helped detoxify him, otherwise, within a few more years, he might have been frozen into a dead corpse.

"Ah! Look over there, what's that!"

Suddenly, Quanyu screamed, drawing everyone's attention.

"It's!"

Xia Liu turned his gaze and was immediately shocked.

In front, at the snow-white cliff, a snow lotus stood firm against the wind, steady on the midsection of the cliff.

"It's a snow lotus! So huge, it must be a millennial variety!"

Xia Fei was equally shocked.

The snow lotus was as large as an ordinary wooden bucket.

It could be termed as gigantic.

To have such size, it surely must be a millennial variety!

A pure spiritual energy was emanating from the snow lotus.

However, this spiritual energy was covered by an exotic force.

Even Golden Pill Stage cultivators would find it hard to detect.

But Xia Liu was very envious of this exotic aura.

That was Holy Energy!

Just like the White Lotus Holy Aura seen before in the swamp by the North Sea!

The snow lotus being a type of lotus, even held lotus fruits within its stamen!

Xia Liu expanded his divine sense, and within the white stamen, ten lotus fruits lay quietly.

Each lotus fruit contained terrifying Holy Energy!

Xia Liu almost screamed.

If he could refine these lotus fruits, the Prajna Holy Energy might be enhanced!

The more Xia Liu thought, the more excited he became.

But he quickly calmed down.

Because someone in the group was becoming restless!

Even more excited than himself!

And that person was Yifu!

Although Yifu couldn't sense the Snow Lotus Holy Aura or the terrifying pure spiritual energy.

She was certain that this unusually massive snow lotus surely had effects on enhancing cultivation.

Even having some other special effects.

There's no exaggerating, this snow lotus could match all the supplies in her storage bag!

It would be strange if she wasn't tempted!

"Sister Yifu, as per custom, whoever catches the demon beast keeps it, but natural treasures are different. Since Quanyu discovered it, let's split it evenly, okay?"

Xia Fei spoke up before Yifu.

His main worry was that Yifu might say something that would embarrass him, Xia Liu, or Quanyu.

That would harm the harmony of the team.

The team might even split up.

Just as Xia Fei expected, after he spoke up, Yifu remained silent.

The truth was, natural treasures didn't require force to acquire.

Since Quanyu discovered it, it wouldn't be right for Yifu to forcefully take it.

Xia Fei and Xia Liu combined would certainly equal her strength.

As Yifu pondered deeply, Xia Liu suddenly spoke up, "Fellow Daoists, could I have this snow lotus? I'm willing to pay a reasonable price for it."

"Hmm? Daoist Fellow Xia needs this snow lotus?"

Xia Fei asked, puzzled.

If Xia Liu really needed it urgently, he was willing to give up his share.

Quanyu probably wouldn't have a problem either.

That way, Xia Liu would only need to gain Yifu's consent.

"Yes, the unique aura contained within the snow lotus would greatly benefit me. If possible, I ask for your help, fellow Daoists."

Xia Liu sincerely cupped his hands.

"Daoist Fellow Xia, that might not be appropriate, right?"

Before Xia Fei could speak, Yifu coldly replied.

"Sister Yifu, do you have any good ideas, or what do you think the price of the snow lotus should be? I'm willing to purchase it."

"Ridiculous! This snow lotus at a large auction wouldn't fetch anything less than fifty thousand supreme grade Spirit Stones, five thousand would certainly auction it off!"

Yifu planned to use a huge amount of Spirit Stones to thwart Xia Liu.

The protection of a Golden Pill Late Stage expert for a month cost only five thousand supreme grade Spirit Stones.

These fifty thousand supreme grade Spirit Stones were an astronomical existence in the Northern Realm.

Yifu didn't believe that a poor cultivator like Xia Liu could produce fifty thousand supreme grade Spirit Stones.

"Yes, this snow lotus is indeed worth fifty thousand supreme grade Spirit Stones."

Xia Liu couldn't deny it, if someone sensed the Holy Energy within those ten lotus fruits.

It might push this snow lotus to an extremely high price.

Even a hundred thousand supreme grade Spirit Stones might be possible.

"Oh? So, is my price too low?"

Yifu felt some regret, seeing Xia Liu's calm demeanor. Could he really come up with fifty thousand supreme grade Spirit Stones?

If he could, she might suffer a big loss!

"In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, it might only be worth a few thousand supreme grade Spirit Stones, but for someone who needs it, it's extremely valuable. Even sixty thousand supreme grade Spirit Stones might be spent."

Xia Liu realized he was being played, so he quickly backtracked a bit.

This snow lotus was a must-have for him!
