One day’s journey later, Su Yuan followed the Dragon Sect members to a cave on a certain mountain in the Snow Burial Mountain Range.
The scene inside the cave was unclear; only countless light blue chills were gently flowing within.
The leader of the Dragon Sect, Pan Long, spoke, "This is one of the many entrances to the Snow Burial Plain and the one our Dragon Sect most frequently enters. Everyone, be on high alert and follow me inside."
After speaking, Pan Long took the lead and stepped into the cave. His figure was swallowed by the light blue glow, and in just a moment, he vanished from everyone’s perception.
Most members of the Dragon Sect had been here more than once. Without hesitation, they followed in succession.
Qin Lianyun greeted, "Su Yuan, Miss Situ, let’s go in as well!"
Because Su Yuan had narrowly won a sparring match earlier, Qin Lianyun had quite a bit of respect for him and the two chatted a lot along the way.
Su Yuan asked about the Black Wind Domain and surrounding areas. Qin Lianyun, in turn, showed great interest in the Great Flame Country.
According to Qin Lianyun, his mother was once a genius Star Card Master of the Great Flame Country.
"Alright, let’s go." Su Yuan responded, leading Situ Qingyin into the cave.
The weather suddenly turned cold, frost and snow danced in the air, as the group stepped into the Snow Burial Plain Secret Realm.
"Awoo, awoo...!"
From the side came howls of misery. Su Yuan turned his head to see Pan Long leading some people in slaying a few Snow Cloak Wolves near the entrance.
After entering the Secret Realm, being alert of the surroundings and clearing out dangers was fundamental quality.
Within the Dragon Sect, tasks like these were usually handled by the stronger individuals, which was why Pan Long was the first to transport in.
"It’s definitely much colder than last time!"
Feeling the bitter cold wind, everyone in the Dragon Sect frowned.
Su Yuan surveyed the surroundings. All he could see was a boundless snowfield, mountain ridges, and occasional scattered ice and snow Star Beasts.
Su Yuan took out the map copy given by Lin Yue and quickly determined their current location based on the markings.
"We are currently in the southwest direction..."
The Dragon Sect planned to explore some newly appeared areas deep within the Snow Burial Plain, to the east.
He and Situ Qingyin needed to go to resource points marked on the map where ice elements were rich and potentially born ice and snow materials, which spread in multiple directions.
Seeing Pan Long and others sweeping away the Snow Cloak Wolves nearby and returning, Su Yuan spoke, "Then, everyone from the Dragon Sect, we’ll take our leave first."
Pan Long nodded, "Brother Su, be extra careful."
"Brother Su, are you sure you don’t want to come with us?" Qin Lianyun asked, frowning. "The Snow Burial Plain is indeed more perilous than before. If we stay together, we can support each other if anything happens."
Su Yuan shook his head, "We need to go to several places to gather materials, and it’s not quite along your path."
Qin Lianyun pondered for a moment but did not press further, nodding, "Alright, then be very careful!"
Su Yuan smiled, "Don’t worry, remember, you’re my defeated opponent. Worry about yourself more."
"Yes indeed, Master Lianyun, it’s been less than a day!"
"You couldn’t even touch a hair of Brother Su!"
The Dragon Sect members laughed and jeered.
It was clear that Qin Lianyun, as the young master of the Dragon Sect, had a good relationship with these ordinary members. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare joke like this.
Qin Lianyun’s face was slightly red. He pursed his lips, "That was just a simple spar. I didn’t go all out; it doesn’t count!"
"Then let’s have a full-strength match back at the Dragon Gate City to convince you," Su Yuan smiled and led Situ Qingyin away from the group, "We’re off!"
"See you later!"
"Alright~"
...
"Snow Crystal Stone forms in places covered with snow year-round, with ice spiritual power gathering into a snow-like material. It usually exists in mountain ravines and valleys.
But glaciers or simply icy surfaces can’t form Snow Crystal Stone.
So here, here, and here... these few resource points can be directly excluded.
As for the Snow God Lotus Flower you need, this spirit plant descends from the heavens but cannot root on the ground.
It exists between the two, so it can only be on cliffs or high peaks.
This way, these few points can also be directly excluded... We are left with these seven locations!"
After parting from the Dragon Sect members, Situ Qingyin analyzed the map copy while holding it.
This map had around fifty or sixty resource points marked by the Dragon Sect.
Among them, there were nearly twenty points where ice elements were rich enough to potentially produce third-level ice materials.
Now, Situ Qingyin’s analysis quickly narrowed the target locations to seven.
Su Yuan praised, "Amazing! As expected of an Artifact Refining Master, this will save us a lot of time."
Situ Qingyin couldn’t help but smile happily.
Thanks to Su Yuan’s presence, their journey had been smooth. She hadn’t contributed much.
If she were alone, or if Su Yuan were replaced by another one or two Demon Capital students, they might barely escape from the White Mist Space of Qiuyun Mountain, but they wouldn’t be able to move even a step in the Snow Burial Plain.
Now, at last, she could be of some help!
"Then let’s start with the nearest one."
Su Yuan formed seals with his hands. The Gate of Hell opened, and eight Netherworld Fire Skeleton Wolves emerged from it.
However, as soon as the eight Bone Wolves came out, the black flames on their bodies visibly shrank, almost failing to cover their steel skeletons.
"The suppression on fire elements is that intense..." Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed.
The Bone Wolves were secondary, but his own fire skills were likely to be significantly suppressed, including the Gray Flame Strike, Hellfire, and Great Sun Burning Body Technique.
"If Bing Tong were here, she could probably exert extraordinary strength..."
Su Yuan couldn’t help but think of the powerful and exceptionally obedient ace fighter.
As a High Level Ice Star Beast, she would thrive in such an environment.
Shaking his head, Su Yuan waved his hand. The eight Bone Wolves dispersed in pairs ahead. Even though their strength was greatly suppressed, they were still effective as mobile sentinels.
"Let’s go then..."
"Alright!"
...
High above a certain place in the Snow Burial Mountain Range.
A handsome youth with white hair and beard, clad in a Heluo Water Cloud Robe, and wearing a Xuanhuang Qilin Pendant around his waist, stood on a cloud, gentle in demeanor.
Beside the youth stood a short-haired girl with silver hair and blue eyes.
The white-haired youth spoke respectfully, "Miss Bing Tong, below is one of the entrances to the Snow Burial Plain.
According to the divination, the recently emerged Mystic Ice is within the Snow Burial Plain.
Once you successfully devour the Mystic Ice, not only will your realm improve, enhancing your ice spiritual power, mastering the traits of Mystic Ice, but it will also lay a great foundation for your future evolution!
"Can I do it?" Luo Bingtong asked.

The white-haired youth smiled, "Of course you can! As the descendant of the Ice and Snow Emperor, you naturally possess the unparalleled talent to devour Mystic Ice.
With the items prepared by Lord Kong Zheng, devouring an unowned Mystic Ice should pose no problem.
As for others entering the Snow Burial Plain... In such an icy environment, no one could be your match!
Star Beasts even more so; your innate soul pressure alone would render most ice and snow Star Beasts greatly weakened, if not defeated without a fight!"
Luo Bingtong nodded in understanding.
Bai Ze thought for a moment, then formed seals with his hands. Amidst the rippling water light, a drop of crystalline water hovered at his fingertips.
"Go~"
With a wave, Bai Ze sent the water drop into Luo Bingtong’s hand, forming a white drop pattern.
"This is the Silver Extreme avatar I summoned from my past using the Retrospective Technique, just before I broke through to the Gold Level.
Summon it if necessary, and there should be few in the Snow Burial Plain who can match it."
Bai Ze smiled lightly.
He was being modest. Speaking truthfully, as a High Level Water Element Divine Beast, highly intelligent and skilled in transformation, Bai Ze could sweep through opponents of the same stage even at the Silver Stage, where he was of Master Quality.
Comparable to juvenile Golden Crows, Dragons, and Phoenixes of High Level, yet far rarer.
"Thank you, Uncle Bai Ze."
"No need for thanks; it’s our duty." Bai Ze smiled and continued, "Of course, if anything unexpected happens, crush the talisman given by Lord Kong Zheng.
Your safety is the most important, understand?"
Luo Bingtong nodded.
"Alright, I think I’ve covered everything... Shall we descend?"
Bai Ze wondered if there was anything missed. Looking up, he saw Luo Bingtong gazing intently at him with her ice-blue eyes.
"Uh..."
Bai Ze paused, then remembered, "Oh right, almost forgot the most important thing!"
He flipped his hand and took out a sky-blue Star Card, handing it to Luo Bingtong.
"This is the Star Card you wanted. Before, you refused all high-quality Star Cards. Now that you asked, Lord Kong Zheng was very pleased and immediately went to the Treasure Pavilion to find it for you.
But no one expected you would want such an attribute. He had to search the Treasure Pavilion thoroughly to select this card.
With this card, your strength will surely rise another level, greatly aiding in devouring Mystic Ice in the Snow Burial Plain!"
Luo Bingtong accepted the card and examined its contents:
[Sky Lock]
[Grade: Blue]
[Element: Space]
[Introduction: Summons Sky Chains from the Void, capable of sealing spaces]
Although her face remained expressionless, her ice-blue eyes gleamed cheerfully.

Blinking, Luo Bingtong carefully stored the card in her Space Ring.
Bai Ze didn’t mind, assuming she planned to embed it later.
"Miss, I will see you down."
"Mm."
Bai Ze willed, and the white cloud beneath them descended swiftly, heading towards the Snow Burial Mountain Range below...
