Qu Jianlei was taken aback, "Why are you two looking at me?"

Luo Hanshuang answered bluntly, "We discussed it beforehand, and we can't decide which plan is better."

Then I'm even more clueless, Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "I haven't been in this Star Realm for long, how could I have the qualifications to suggest anything?"

"Use your abilities," Aunt Han replied in a deep voice, "We can choose anything... let's just move forward first."

The three of them walked onto the path, and Qu Jianlei asked in a deep voice, "How long is this path?"

"One or two hundred kilometers," Luo Hanshuang replied in a deep voice, "The exact length isn't certain, and there will be intersections ahead."

Qu Jianlei calculated that even if it were two hundred kilometers, the time would still be ample—they could stay here for three days.

With the pace of the three of them, five kilometers per hour was not a problem, and if they didn't rest or sleep, they could walk one hundred and twenty kilometers in a day.

Aunt Han saw his expression and quickly added, "It's best to reach the endpoint within two days."

Qu Jianlei blinked and asked, "Why?"

"There's a mystery at the endpoint," Luo Hanshuang answered, "We need to leave a day to solve it."

Qu Jianlei furrowed his brow, "So, this is why it's called 'Mist Mansion'?"

Luo Hanshuang shook her head, "It's not just solving the mystery, but also choosing the right path at the intersections..."

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and asked, "Will someone die if we choose the wrong path?"

"It won't go that far," Luo Hanshuang shook her head, "It might just relate to the difficulty of the mystery... but that's just a guess."

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, wanting to make a sarcastic remark.

However, thinking it might involve elders from the Divine Land, he finally held back, "Hey, the impact on Spiritual Power isn't that significant."

However, Aunt Han disagreed with him, "My Spiritual Power is being heavily suppressed."

Soon after, the Big Head Butterfly started spinning again, "Draw out the Vortex, Baofeng isn't enough!"

Qu Jianlei walked while changing the terminal.

Luo Hanshuang, who was idle, noticed his actions, "Hey, is that the Vortex? Can I take a look?"

Qu Jianlei helplessly glanced at her, "I have things to do, watch the road, and don't step outside."

He spoke a bit too late; the two-meter road wasn't that wide, and the three walked in a hurry.

As Luo Hanshuang lost focus, one foot was stepping toward the mud outside the Bluestone.

Just as she was about to step onto the mud, Aunt Han swiftly pulled her back.

Almost simultaneously, a large black hole suddenly appeared on the ground, about half a meter in diameter.

"It should be a Restriction," Aunt Han's Cultivation Level was suppressed, but her skills and vision remained intact.

As soon as she finished speaking, the nearby mud rolled over like boiling water.

"The mud is boiling..." Qu Jianlei scratched his head, "It's a beast, I don't know if it's a Fierce Beast or a Spirit Beast."

Luo Hanshuang, still in shock but reacting swiftly, said, "If it wants to eat me, it's a Fierce Beast."

Aunt Han was concerned about something else, "What Cultivation Level?"

"A-level," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "Not small, this is just a part of it."

"You really can perceive it!" Aunt Han's eyes lit up, confirming that her question had more than one purpose.

"Yeah," Qu Jianlei nodded earnestly, "My Spiritual Power can sense up to about a hundred meters."

"Great," Luo Hanshuang's eyes lit up, raising her hand to reveal two coils of rope.

The ropes seemed unassuming and gray, but their light weight showed they were made of Alloy, "I brought lassos."

Qu Jianlei looked at her incredulously, "What if I couldn't perceive it?"

"If you couldn't perceive it, then just randomly try our luck," Luo Hanshuang answered without hesitation.

"You can rest assured about the accuracy of my lassos; I've been practicing for three years!"

Qu Jianlei was a bit puzzled, "Practicing lassos... just for the Mist Mansion?"

"Of course," Luo Hanshuang replied confidently, "If it weren't for the Mist Mansion, why would I practice this?"

Qu Jianlei remained silent. A prodigy from Xingluo Academy, practicing lasso skills just for Mist Mansion since entering school...

Yet, they might not even qualify to enter the Mist Mansion, and even if they did, it would be chaotic!

Is it worth it for such a slim Hope?

Luo Hanshuang hadn't finished speaking, "But this rope is only sixty meters long; I need to connect these two bundles together."

Qu Jianlei glanced at her, "Can you ensure accuracy when they're connected?"

"No problem," Luo Hanshuang answered bluntly, "Within one hundred and fifty meters, I can loop wherever I aim."

"In Celestial Hook Star, all amusement parks banned me from playing ring toss games!"

Qu Jianlei couldn't help but laugh, "Then you should learn the Transformation Technique."

"I don't care about the prizes," Luo Hanshuang said confidently, "If I transform, who would know it's me?"

There's still youthful competitiveness, Qu Jianlei nodded, "What do you want to lasso?"

"Preferably ores," Luo Hanshuang answered without hesitation, "You've already found quite a few plants."

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly upon hearing that, so the lingzhi located 130 meters away... no need to inform you about that!

His spiritual power could actually extend beyond 300 meters, but he intentionally held back a bit.

As for that lingzhi... he didn't know its age, but logically speaking, it should be over a thousand years old.

Anyway, with a journey of 120 to 130 kilometers, there should be other opportunities, right?

After hurrying forward for a few kilometers, he shouted, "Stop for a moment."

The two women halted their steps, and Qu Jianlei pointed in a direction, "There's a plant there... rather decent."

Luo Hanshuang felt a bit puzzled and raised her eyebrows, "A plant?"

"Mainly because it's close," Qu Jianlei answered seriously, "only 50 to 60 meters away."

"That's not a problem," Luo Hanshuang immediately got excited, "Does it need digging?"

"No need," Qu Jianlei shook his head; it's actually a snow lotus, but he didn't know how it grew here.

He drew a picture of the snow lotus, and the two women exclaimed together, "Is it this one?"

Qu Jianlei gave them a surprised glance, "You recognize it?"

"Yes," Luo Hanshuang replied without hesitation, "It can only grow in extremely cold places, and it's in high demand!"

Qu Jianlei nodded thoughtfully, "So, they've found the secret to planting it?"

"But it's useless," Aunt Han responded quickly, "The seeds will degenerate, making it possible to propagate only two generations at most."

"Many institutions tried gene modification, but after modification, it becomes completely ineffective, and thus classified as a perfect plant."

Qu Jianlei inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief internally, but his face remained expressionless, "Unable to reproduce, is that considered perfect?"

Aunt Han shook her head, "There's no such thing as completely perfect, don't you agree?"

Luo Hanshuang was already getting anxious, "How precise can Remi get with the distance, can you measure it in centimeters?"

Qu Jianlei drew several symbols on the vortex, and the next moment, a three-dimensional projection appeared on the bluestone road.

The projection showed not only the distance but also the elevation and the full view of the snow lotus.

This wasn't his achievement, but Little Lake's doing. Their mental communication was almost synchronous, with no barriers.

Luo Hanshuang's eyes lit up, "This is not a problem at all; you can detail it to this extent!"

The next moment, she took down a rope from her elbow, tied a skilled knot, swung it in the air twice, and tossed it out.

Two seconds later, she flicked her wrist, and a snow lotus caught by the rope loop flew back.

Seeing the snow lotus slightly slipping from the rope loop, Aunt Han reached out swiftly and grabbed the snow lotus.

"Beautiful," Qu Jianlei raised his hand and clapped twice, "Very impressive."

"Not bad," Luo Hanshuang smiled proudly, "Alright, let's hurry. If there's anything, we'll talk on the way."

After she put away the rope loop, she continued to check the snow lotus while rushing forward, "This one indeed looks good."

"Don't hold it with your hand all the time," Aunt Han took the snow lotus back.

Luo Hanshuang glanced at it reluctantly, then turned to Qu Jianlei, "Your brain-machine interface is amazing!"

"Brain-computer system?" Qu Jianlei thought for a moment before realizing what she was referring to—Little Lake's capabilities.

He imitated her tone and replied with a smile, "Not bad."

"Could sell for a lot of money," Luo Hanshuang said earnestly, "Stronger than any brain-computer system I've seen!"

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "This is closely related to my personal cultivation, not suitable for application."

Even so, Luo Hanshuang tried to persuade him, "Selling for millions isn't a problem; we could negotiate a profit share."

She knew the other party wasn't short of money, but still cared about it—otherwise, he wouldn't have sold those plants to her.

Qu Jianlei smiled and shook his head, "You should know how much vortex is worth. Mine is an enhanced version, so don't bring up money."

After walking five or six kilometers, he found another snow lotus, but it was nearly a hundred meters away.

He considered for half a second and decided to pass it up, who knows what's ahead.

And indeed, after another two to three kilometers, he discovered a fire-element-rich mineral.

"More than 110 meters away, there's a fire attribute mineral... roughly the size of a fist."

"I want it!" Luo Hanshuang resolutely stopped, "That's a great find!"

While she connected two ropes together, Qu Jianlei had already created a three-dimensional map and projected it.

Luo Hanshuang acted again, skillfully handling it once more.

However, the moment Aunt Han grabbed the fire attribute mineral, the rope snapped suddenly.

Luckily, each woman held one end of the rope, avoiding being flung away.

Luo Hanshuang paid no attention to this and instead stared at the fire-red mineral in Aunt Han's hand, "Is this Fire Crystal?"

Previously, the minerals she found in the mountain were just Ink Silver and Iron Essence Stone, although valuable, they didn't help cultivation much.

Fire Crystal? Qu Jianlei silently noted the term.

"It is Fire Crystal," Aunt Han threw the Fire Crystal to Luo Hanshuang, "Don't grasp it, it's not compatible with our attributes; pack it away!"

"Also, your alloy rope was affected, it's easy to break!"
