Chapter 665: Chapter 408 Heavenly Snow_1

“Are you searching for the Centennial Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus? Do you have a specific location in mind? I can search with you for the next few days,” Logan asked Thornwell Nango.

Nango gave a bitter smile, full of melancholy, “I have been in the Extreme Cold Lands for half a month with nothing to show for it. Originally, we brought over a hundred people, now only a dozen remain.”

“However, our Sect’s Grand Elder also brought two hundred people, exploring in a different direction within the Extreme Cold Lands. No idea if they’ve found anything these past days, but should they find it, they will definitely send us a signal. I reckon their situation is just as tough as ours.”

Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus is already rare in the Extreme Cold Lands, let alone the ones aged over a hundred years, which are probably seen once a century. Especially given that my own realm is too low, unlike those Powerhouses who can search differently; I can only cover a hundred li a day, while Powerhouses can cover a thousand li a day.

“First, we should find a spot to set up camp and fend off the cold. Your dozen people are also injured and need a place to recover,” Logan suggested.

As the snowstorm grew heavier, they couldn’t stay there any longer. Logan then used his Divine Skill to search and found a spot on the snow-covered slope to take shelter.

Before coming to the Extreme Cold Lands, Logan had made extensive preparations, so he took out tents and food from his spatial ring. Nango and his men also had tents, but their food was running low after ten days, and they all looked eagerly at Logan.

Logan smiled softly and waved at Nango and his dozen men, “Come, let’s eat together. Don’t be so formal; I am not some esteemed senior.”

After a few hours of healing, Nango’s men had recovered. Afterwards, he took out a map, trying to determine the location of the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.

Logan naturally leaned in to look as well, hoping to glean some insight into the Ancient Secret Realm from the map. However, the map was vague and, due to the perennial snow and ice cover in the area, even the person who drew it must have made many errors.

“It shouldn’t be like this. Though Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus is rare, to walk for over ten days without seeing even one, could it be that all the Snow Lotus in the Extreme Cold Lands have been harvested?”

Nango looked at the map and sighed. In his mind, even Quasi-Saint Powerhouses wouldn’t have such reach that they could harvest all of them in these Extreme Cold Lands, which differ from other places. The further north you go, the harsher the snowstorms become. Legend has it that the furthest northern parts are even home to ancient evils.

“Based on the map, this mountain here seems promising. Snow Lotus usually grows at higher altitudes. If it were on the plainlands, wouldn’t it all be devoured by Demon Beasts?” Logan reasoned, although this was merely his speculation, he felt it had a high chance of being correct—the mountain in question was ten thousand meters tall.

Nango chuckled bitterly, explaining to Logan, “This mountain is called Ancient Snow Mountain, perpetually enshrouded by mists and governed by various Rules. Ordinary people don’t dare to tread lightly, except if a Quasi-Saint Powerhouse is there to ensure safe passage. Only a few people have survived there over the past thousand years.”

“Then let’s make a trip,” Logan declared resolutely. “To find a Centennial Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus on this ice field won’t be easy, it must be on such high mountains with protective Demon Beasts.”

“With both of us here, you’ll have an extra helping hand,” Bart Cloud added. Nango hesitated for a moment, but then quickly agreed.

In fact, in the previous days, he had also thought about venturing to Ancient Snow Mountain, but was hindered by the lack of manpower. The highest realm among them was Dominator Level, hardly qualifying them for the expedition. Now, with the presence of Logan and another Powerhouse, what did he have to fear?

They couldn’t delay any longer; his father was gravely ill, and if he couldn’t bring back the Centennial Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, his entire Sect would be doomed.

After deliberation, they planned to set out early the next day. Of course, Logan was not a reckless man; Nango’s handful of subordinates were only at Throne Realm level and wouldn’t withstand high-level Demon Beasts, so naturally, he had to provide them with some life-saving measures.

Logan used ten million Spirit Stones to draw a series of Spirit Gathering Runes that could be used to fend off Dominator-level Demon Beasts.

“I have a total of a hundred Runes here, and you will be reimbursing me,” Logan distributed the Runes to the dozen men, then stretched out his hand to demand compensation from Nango.

Nango was momentarily stunned, then chuckled awkwardly, “Of course, once I return to the Sect, I shall surely repay the benefactor with Spirit Stones. It’s just that in my haste to save my father, I didn’t bring many with me.”

Upon hearing this, Logan was quite frustrated, considering he had only known Nango for a day and had already spent ten million Spirit Stones; the loss was heart-wrenching.

“The Cloud Sky Sect is the leading Sect of the Eastern Territory with immense strength. Even without reporting it, I can access thirty million Spirit Stones upon returning. Consider it payment for the Runes and your life-saving grace earlier. Once my father awakens, there will be even more rewards,” Nango declared, anxious that Logan might not believe him and leave in anger, he earnestly offered and even produced his life weapon as collateral.

Logan, speechless, gave him a disapproving look, “With someone of my realm, how could I lack such vision? If I were only after Spirit Stones, I might as well not have saved you!”

“I have been narrow-minded!” Nango bowed deeply, then said, “I have always suspected that my father’s illness was the doing of the Orthodox Demonic Sect. Since the Sanctuary Powerhouses have been to the Ancient Secret Realm, the Demon Path Schools have become too rampant. I hear that in the Central Region, the Blood Drinking Sect and Saint Sky Sect are at a standoff.”
