Hearing Qin Xuan say that, Qianqian nodded.
The two walked towards the snow mountain one after another, tacitly not mentioning the statue from earlier.
However, Qianqian's face was now full of doubt, as if she was pondering something.
Qin Xuan didn't ask much either.
This woman had many secrets, but Qin Xuan understood that since she wasn't locking them away, he wouldn't ask too many questions.
He only needed to fulfill his previous promise and then leave.
As they approached the snow mountain, Qin Xuan looked up and saw a several-zhang-tall cave at the foot of the mountain, with something moving inside.
Qianqian, with a look of pleasant surprise, pointed over there.
“That way, Young Master, that’s right, it’s over there. I can sense the resonance of my secret treasure.”
Saying that, Qianqian wanted to run over there.
“Wait a moment.”
Qin Xuan grabbed Qianqian, signaling her to wait a moment.
“There seems to be something else in this cave. Let me take a look.”
Then, Qin Xuan’s Divine Soul flew out, observing the cave.
A moment later, his Divine Soul had already inspected the cave, and he looked at Qianqian with a somewhat troubled expression.
“It’s a bit troublesome. This cave isn’t easy to enter!”
“What’s wrong?”
Qianqian hurriedly looked at Qin Xuan, wanting to know what was going on.
Qin Xuan sighed, pointing helplessly in the direction of the cave.
“If I’m not mistaken, there should be a group of Snow Beasts in this cave. They are occupying the cave, so it might not be easy to enter.”
Just as Qin Xuan’s Divine Soul probed in, he was surprised to find more than a dozen Snow Beasts huddled inside the cave.
The strength of these Snow Beasts was not low, and Qin Xuan didn't want to rashly provoke them.
Snow Beasts?
Qianqian was startled, looked at the Spiritual Qi snowflakes still falling, and nodded in understanding.
“That’s right, if they are Snow Beasts, then it makes sense. Snow Beasts are a type of ice-element Spirit Beast, naturally feeding on ice and snow.”
“Ordinary Snow Beasts are not strong because they feed on ice and snow, but these Snow Beasts are clearly different.”
After Qin Xuan's Divine Soul observation, he was surprised to find that several of these Snow Beasts had strengths in the Yuqing Realm.
One of them had even touched the threshold of the Shangqing Realm.
Rushing in without thought would not be a wise move.
Although Snow Beasts feed on snow, the snowflakes here are condensed from Spiritual Qi, and these Snow Beasts are devouring this Spiritual Qi, so various mutations naturally occur.
It is normal for some of them to become suddenly and exceptionally powerful.
After all, Snow Beasts in the outside world can only eat ordinary ice and snow, while these Snow Beasts can endlessly devour Spiritual Qi.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xuan looked at Qianqian.
“Fairy, we need to find a way to lure these Snow Beasts away so it’s easier to get in!”
Qin Xuan didn’t want to act rashly, so he suggested this after some thought.
Hearing that Qin Xuan wanted to lure the Snow Beasts away, Qianqian nodded.
“Then, Young Master, how should we lure these Snow Beasts away? Should we use something Snow Beasts like?”
Qin Xuan smiled, staring at the cave.
“Fairy, don’t worry, I naturally have a way.”
Saying that, Qin Xuan flicked his fingertip, and a paper Puppet flew out.
The paper man flew in the air, quickly landing and transforming into a human shape.
Of course, he wouldn’t take risks; that would be too troublesome. His method was to use this paper Puppet to lure the Puppets over.
Under Qin Xuan's control, the paper man quickly rushed towards the cave, its body rapidly transforming into Qin Xuan's appearance.
“Paper Man Art? Young Master, you actually know how to use Paper Man Art.”
Qianqian said in astonishment.
She didn't expect Qin Xuan to also know this secret art.
Paper Man Art is one of the Six Ding Six Jia secret arts. Qianqian had also seen it in ancient texts. Besides Paper Man Art, there are also secret arts like Scattering Beans into Soldiers.
Although these secret arts are not considered very powerful, they can always play a significant role at critical moments.
The Paper Man Art is just like that.
Although this paper man's combat power is extremely low and has almost no effect in battle.
It is most suitable for scouting intelligence and luring enemies.
Using this to lure out the Snow Beasts is indeed the most suitable.
“The Snow Beasts here have been isolated for many years and have almost no natural predators. Luring them with this paper man will surely succeed.”
Qin Xuan said with a smile, then controlled the paper man to rush towards the cave entrance.
A quarter of an hour later, the paper man arrived at the cave entrance. Looking at the Snow Beasts inside, the paper man walked in step by step.
At this time, Qin Xuan had already attached a trace of his Divine Soul to the paper man, using the paper man to continuously observe the Snow Beasts in the cave, hoping to lure them out.
This cave was entirely made of accumulated snow condensed from Spiritual Qi.
From time to time, a Snow Beast would gnaw on the nearby accumulated snow. Looking at the carefree appearance of these Snow Beasts, Qin Xuan was also amazed.
These Snow Beasts are truly carefree here, with no natural enemies and incredibly abundant Spiritual Qi.
Other Snow Beasts only feed on snow and ice, but the Snow Beasts inside are devouring these Spiritual Qi-condensed snowflakes, so their strength naturally far surpasses ordinary Snow Beasts.
Just as Qin Xuan was observing, a strong thought suddenly arose in his mind.
Since the Spiritual Qi here can condense into snowflakes, normally the Spiritual Qi here should be much thinner than in other places.
However, Qin Xuan sensed around, and the Spiritual Qi here was actually richer than in the outside world.
Something must be nearby to replenish the Spiritual Qi. Is it Spirit Stones or a Spirit Spring?
Qin Xuan controlled the paper man while pondering.
If it were a Spirit Spring, then there must be an extremely rich Spirit Spring nearby.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan's heart burned with excitement. If it were a Spirit Spring, as long as he devoured the Spiritual Qi from it, his strength would definitely increase significantly, and he might even have a chance to break through to the Yuqing Realm.
After all, this is the place where the Kunpeng perished. If there is a Spirit Spring, the Spiritual Qi must be incredibly abundant.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan was already a bit restless, wanting to search the vicinity after his exploration here was complete.
However, the most pressing matter was to lure these Snow Beasts away and let Qianqian search for the Sect's secret treasure.
It would be enough to explore the vicinity after finding the Sect's secret treasure. Thinking this, Qin Xuan immediately controlled the paper man to speed up, deliberately making some noise near the cave entrance.
Controlling the paper man to vigorously pound the large rocks at the cave entrance, a series of sounds echoed into the cave.
The Snow Beasts, who had been quietly lying in the cave, heard the commotion outside and one by one looked up blankly towards the entrance.
Qin Xuan controlled the paper man to walk in at the opportune moment, wanting to provoke the Snow Beasts and then lure them out.
The strength of these Snow Beasts was not weak, and now that Qin Xuan's paper man had invaded their territory, normally these Snow Beasts should immediately attack the paper man.
