However, Zhou Hui was even more confused, because through the interactions he had with Xue Qingwu, he discovered that this slender and elegant great beauty seemed to have many secrets, and there was no way to dig deeper.

She could only wait for her body to slowly reveal itself, and when Zhou Hui checked Xue Qingwu's body, he discovered that she did not have any of the inner strength that a human cultivator should have.

Thinking back to the move she used to knock Li Tianyang flying, Zhou Hui still remembered it vividly. That was only the simple wave of a finger, yet it sent an expert with innate state flying!

Zhou Hui even had a feeling that if he were to fight with Xue Qingwu, he would definitely not be her match.

Fortunately, the two of them had established a deep friendship, so at least they didn't have to worry about being attacked.

However, Zhou Hui who had always been cautious, still kept his guard up. If at any time Xue Qingwu thought of something that she should not have thought of, and suddenly made a move on him, then it would not be worth it.

The two of them searched the entire seventh floor's platform. To be exact, Xue Qingwu searched the entire seventh platform, but Zhou Hui simply followed behind her.

In the end, Xue Qingwu knelt on a patch of snow and started digging. Finally, he found a round ice crystal.

Zhou Hui did not ask any further. He knew that even if they were to ask, they would definitely not be able to get an accurate answer.

When Xue Qingwu did all these, he mostly relied on his own instincts. Sometimes, he didn't even know what he had done.

However, if he wanted to go to the ninth floor, Zhou Hui could only rely on Xue Qingwu's ability, so he took the initiative to take up the role of guard.

Just as he finished his search on the seventh floor, Xue Qingwu put away the round shaped ice crystal. Not long after, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound.

"What is that sound?" Zhou Hui asked in a low voice.

However, Xue Qingwu's face was full of smiles, he was jumping around like a little girl, incomparably innocent and cute. In the end, he moved closer to Zhou Hui and said, "It's a little bee, oh yeah."

"Bee, why would there be bees in this kind of place?" Zhou Hui was extremely confused, but he continued to use his inner strength.

Bees that could grow in this kind of harsh environment would definitely not be easy to deal with, just like the Snow Peak Bird before, which had also caused some trouble for Zhou Hui.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a group of fist-sized bees flew over.

The wings and the ice crystals in the air formed a range that seemed to be able to respond to each other. This bee was way too big!

Zhou Hui could not help but shiver. If this fellow stung him, it would definitely not be good.

Through his sharp eyes, Zhou Hui could even notice that there was a needle-like thorn on the buttocks of those so-called bees.

To be stung by this stuff...

Zhou Hui could not help but take in a breath of cold air, when the bees flew over, they immediately rushed towards Zhou Hui, treating him as a threat and an intruder.

However, Xue Qingwu suddenly stood in front of Zhou Hui, waved his arms and said: "Little bees, this is big brother, you can't hurt him!"

Zhou Hui stood behind Xue Qingwu, his expression extremely strange, could it be that these bees can understand human speech?

What surprised him even more was that the bees actually no longer attacked him. Instead, they surrounded the two of them, flapping their wings as if they were jumping in joy.

"These bees." Zhou Hui asked in a low voice.

However, Xue Qingwu did not mind, and laughed: "These bees are all mine."

"You raised it?" Zhou Hui was even more incredulous.

"Yes, big brother, I raised these a long, long time ago. I can't remember exactly how long they were raised for."

"Is that so …" Zhou Hui's heart sank. It seemed that the secret on this girl was not as simple as he had imagined.

However, he did not pursue the matter. If he knew too much about this matter, it would be counterproductive.

The bees surrounded the two of them as they flew non-stop. Xue Qingwu and Zhou Hui arrived at the intersection between the seventh and eighth level. They raised their heads slightly and said to Zhou Hui: "If you want to reach the eighth level, you must rely on these bees."

"With these bees?" Zhou Hui could not help but frown.

"Yeah, look."

In the direction that Xue Qingwu pointed, Zhou Hui shifted his gaze. There was no previous gap between the seventh and eighth level, but rather a perfectly straight cliff with a 90 degree mark.

It looked crystal clear, causing Zhou Hui to suspect that it was an extremely huge waterfall, but it was just that it was suddenly frozen by something, which was why it was such a strange sight.

Recalling what Xue Qingwu said just now, Zhou Hui asked, "Could it be that they want these bees to carry us up?"

"Yeah, but we can't go up now."

"Why?"

"Because if you go up to the eighth level of cultivation, you might not be able to withstand it."

Hearing Xue Qingwu's words, Zhou Hui could not help but laugh bitterly, that's right, he had forgotten about this question.

Although he could still hold on on on the seventh platform, the eighth platform was a completely unfamiliar environment. Who knew if the frost power on the platform could be even more serious.

At that time, if he wasn't able to withstand it, then he would be in deep trouble.

Zhou Hui took a deep breath, then suddenly sat down cross-legged on the ground and said to Xue Qingwu: "Little sister Qingwu, Big brother will first break through his cultivation, can I trouble you to let the little bees inspect the surroundings, if there is any movement, tell me, okay?"

Xue Qingwu also followed Zhou Hui's example and sat on the ground, waving his hand a few times, causing the surrounding bees to scatter and do their own work.

Qingwu opened his mouth and said: "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely not let anyone disturb you."

However, he soon disappeared as his eyes slightly narrowed. Just like how Zhou Hui was cultivating, he also sunk into silence.

Zhou Hui then took out the spiritual vein he had acquired from the sixth floor. Following the guidance of his super cultivation support, he began to work hard to consolidate his cultivation and raise his inner strength.

Zhou Hui was extremely clear that it was simply too difficult to reach the Grandmaster Realm on this snowy mountain peak. If he could reach the late stage or perfection of the innate state, he would probably be able to go to the ninth floor.

After Zhou Hui thought about it, he no longer thought about it, and started to channel his Spirit Qi, immersing himself in training.

Time passed minute after minute, Zhou Hui did not know how much time had passed, but suddenly, his eyes struggled, following that, a few rays of light appeared on the seventh stage.

At this moment, the lively bee flew back, bringing with it injuries.

Xue Qingwu opened his eyes and looked at the injured bees. His heart ached uncontrollably as he hurriedly summoned the bees over and gently caressed the bees' wings. A few streams of milky white liquid appeared on his fingers, which were directly absorbed by the bees.
