"What can we do if we can’t get over it? The cliff is so vast, and it’s not ours to claim. Moreover, we can’t search the whole area. We need to find more Snow Lotuses before those people from Nanjiang arrive!"
Of course, we should also leave one plant to cultivate the Snow Lotus.
But Yun Jinnian knew that with Zhou Yunshen and the others around, it was unlikely they could keep one.
The two of them didn’t talk much and followed the Spiritual Poisonous Insect quickly.
They finally found the first Snow Lotus.
The Spiritual Poisonous Insect was clever, quickly killing the small snakes around the Snow Lotus and allowing Yun Jinnian to pick it, not even letting Chu Yu get close.
It was very protective of Yun Jinnian.
Chu Yu thought to himself that even if the people from Nanjiang found their way here, the Spiritual Poisonous Insect might not be willing to return with them.
He hoped that those people would never find their way here.
Elsewhere, Lao San Hu and his group also found a Snow Lotus, but someone was bitten by a snake guarding the Snow Lotus.
Lao San Hu was both alarmed and delighted.
After all, finding a Snow Lotus could also earn them some silver.
Yun Jinnian quickly found the second, the third, the fourth Snow Lotus.
Zhou Yunshen also found one on his side.
For a moment, Chu Yu realized he wouldn’t be earning the two million taels of silver.
"What’s a pity, Brother Chu? No one but me can cure Young Master Zhou’s illness. Since you want to earn this silver, I will certainly find a way to help you," Yun Jinnian said earnestly.
Taken aback by her words, Chu Yu paused and then began to laugh.
"Then I must thank Jinnian for your help!"
The Spiritual Poisonous Insect waited for Yun Jinnian to pick the Snow Lotuses before leading her to the next spot, but the deeper they went, the more precarious it became.
The rope was almost not enough.
The Spiritual Poisonous Insect turned to look at Yun Jinnian.
"Let’s go back up first!"
Not understanding, the Spiritual Poisonous Insect still listened to Yun Jinnian.
Yun Jinnian acted this way to make the others think that there might not be any more Snow Lotuses here.
But there were definitely more below, Yun Jinnian still wanted to cultivate a Snow Lotus.
This time, they had picked five coins worth of Snow Lotus.
Chu Yu signaled upwards, and Yuwen Ya immediately ordered, "Pull!"
Seeing Yun Jinnian ascend, Lao San Hu, Zhou Yunshen, and others thought there were no more Snow Lotuses and followed.
Yun Jinnian exhaled a breath.
Hemei brought over some warm water for Yun Jinnian to drink, "Come into the tent and warm up quickly!"
Inside the tent, it was warm and snug.
It took a while for Yun Jinnian to feel warm, and she felt much more comfortable.
Curious, Zhou Yunshen and the others came to ask, "Young Master Han!"
Yun Jinnian looked at Zhou Yunshen, "Do you have something to ask, Young Master Zhou?"
"I came to inquire whether there are any more Snow Lotuses below or if Young Master Han could tell me how to use the Snow Lotus. I’ve not been feeling well these past few days!" Zhou Yunshen said, glancing discreetly at Yun Jinnian, noting her calm demeanor without any sign of impropriety.
"Since Young Master Zhou has asked, let me take your pulse first. But it would be best to take the Snow Lotus with some other medicines, otherwise, the effect will be diminished!"
"Then I’ll trouble Young Master Han in half a year!"
Yun Jinnian smiled and said nothing, having Henuan bring a wet cloth to wipe her hands before following Zhou Yunshen into his tent to take his pulse.
Zhou Yunshen was feeling a mixture of emotions. He wasn’t a fool, nor was he a local, and he already had a guess. He felt that Yun Jinnian must be aware of his illness but remained silent, surely scheming something in her mind.
Was it Chu Yu’s idea?
