Long Qiushui deduced from the aura of the place that there must be a wind eye at the summit of the mountain. Then, considering all the strange features of the mountain, he inferred that there could be top-tier medicinal plants within the wind eye. After putting together all the clues, he finally came to an astonishing conclusion: the medicine at the summit of the Nameless Mountain is likely a legendary Quasi-Saint herb, and there is an eight or nine out of ten chance... it is the gentiana!

Because only the gentiana would choose to dwell within a wind eye. Any other medicinal plant would have been torn to shreds by the terrifying winds long ago; who would dare to approach it?

Having confirmed the presence of the gentiana, Long Qiushui felt both joy and worry.

The joy came from the fact that the gentiana, despite residing in the harshest of environments, was not particularly fierce. Wherever it settled in a wind eye, it could stabilize that wind eye! Wind eyes, like the magma deep within the earth's core, are one of nature's most violent environments.

Yet the gentiana, which could tame a wind eye, was gentle by nature, as it possessed sentience and was generally very mild-mannered.

Therefore, as long as one could get close to it, it meant half the battle was won!

The remaining half was how to gain the trust of this Quasi-Saint herb.

That was the most crucial step.

The sentience of a Quasi-Saint herb was extremely strong, and winning over one was incredibly difficult. For Long Qiushui, reaching the peak of the mountain was not hard, even though he had not stepped into the Emperor Realm; he had ways to get there.

But the problem now was, if he could go up, so could everyone else!

The difficulty of monopolizing this piece of gentiana was higher than self-sealing his power to defeat Chu Mo.

With that thought, Long Qiushui felt a surge of intense hatred stirring within him!

Chu Mo!

It was all that bastard's fault!

If it hadn't been for their previous fight, how would so many others have taken such an interest in him?

So that as soon as he had discovered the existence of the gentiana, a group of young elites had strangely appeared right by his side!

It was clear that someone had been observing him in secret all along.

Why the observation?

It was to see if he would ambush Chu Mo on the heavenly road, to watch how he would avenge his failure in the Heavenly Dao Garden.

Long Qiushui had not expected there to be so many people secretly keeping tabs on him.

But now that things had come to this pass, he had to swallow his pride and silently accept the reality.

Huang Wushuang was standing quietly by the side, staring off into space at the peak of the Nameless Mountain, her mind a mystery.

Long Qiushui also harbored hatred for Huang Wushuang, but now he had no choice but to bow his head and choose to work with her. Without Huang Wushuang, he alone would not be able to snatch the Quasi-Saint herb under the watchful eyes of these young elites.

"Chu Mo... I, Long Qiushui, will tear you to pieces sooner or later! Just don't let me catch you!" Long Qiushui's eyes flickered with a cold light, his heart brimming with towering hatred.

On the other side, the young elites included Lu Hongxue, Xuan'er, Xuanxuan, and that Peacock... Kong Hongyi!

Besides them, there were several cultivators who hadn't shown themselves much in public, with quiet reputations but strengths that were no less than those of the young elites. They stood silently on the side, observing the Nameless Mountain peak all the same.

Lu Hongxue laughed lightly, "Who would have thought that on the heavenly road, we'd encounter such a stroke of luck, hehe, the gentiana... If we can obtain that legendary Quasi-Saint herb, we could live an extra lifetime at least. To live an additional life at the Emperor Realm level, that's quite a massive opportunity. It would provide many more chances to break through to the Supreme Realm. No one would not want to get this divine treasure!"

Xuan'er nodded, "Indeed, if we could get such a divine medicine, we'd not only live an extra lifetime but also stay forever young."

Xuanxuan's eyes widened, her face showing a cute expression, "I want it!"

At that moment, a handsome young man chuckled lightly on the other side, "Miss Xuanxuan, how about we join forces? If we can get the gentiana, we can share it. After all, one of these magical medicines is enough for many people to enjoy together."

Xuanxuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Kong Hongyi, "The Peacock clan has always been proud, so you're willing to cooperate with others?"

Kong Hongyi's expression remained unchanged as he said indifferently, "Things change, Miss Xuanxuan. What do you think?"

Xuanxuan giggled, "For such matters, I need to listen to my sister."

Kong Hongyi turned his gaze to Xuan'er, who smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, I've already formed an alliance with Daoist Lu Hongxue."

Lu Hongxue stood elegantly to the side and gave Kong Hongyi a slight smile.

Kong Hongyi rolled his eyes and couldn't help but mutter, "What's the point in forming an alliance with such a coward?"

Lu Hongxue simply smiled faintly but didn't say much. Not far away, however, came a very pleasant voice, "Calling others cowards, do you think you're all that impressive?"

Following the voice, a graceful figure walked elegantly from not far away.

The faces of Kong Hongyi and others changed slightly at once, as the path ahead had been blocked by their followers. Although the atmosphere seemed tense, those who were blocking the road actually had a tacit understanding!

The reason was simple, no matter who got the Quasi-Saint medicine in the end, it had to end up in the hands of the young nobles under Nameless Mountain. If the road wasn't blocked and anyone could come in, imagine the frustration if some unknown person picked off the gentiana. Most likely, all the young nobles would spit blood.

Under such circumstances, anyone who could get through the defenses and reach this place was probably no simple character!

Especially this newcomer, leading some of the present company to frown deeply.

This included Long Qiushui and Huang Wushuang in the distance, who were somewhat dumbfounded. Huang Wushuang couldn't help but mutter, "Why has this crazy woman come?"

Deep wariness showed in Long Qiushui's eyes.

Kong Hongyi squinted at the stunning woman who approached and frowned, "Yiyi..."

Xuan'er and Xuanxuan could also be considered top beauties for their appearance, but despite their beauty, they still looked a bit naive and their aura paled in comparison. Yiyi, however, exuded the charm of a mature woman naturally, with every move she brought her own natural allure.

But if one thought Yiyi was a promiscuous woman because of this, they would be hugely mistaken. In fact, this woman, acclaimed as the number one beauty of the Heavenly Realm, was a veritable iceberg!

And a real little devil at that! She had a widespread reputation, and almost no one dared to provoke her.

Despite her constant smiling, her eyes held no trace of mirth, and the charm she projected belied a distant coldness.

It was this enigmatic and proud woman of the heavens who had once made an open declaration of love to Chu Mo on the message board.

Even though Chu Mo had not responded, Yiyi's gesture had still shocked countless people.

Seeing Yiyi, Lu Hongxue's face still wore that soft, gentle smile, "Yiyi has arrived?"

The Shui and Lu families were old friends, and the two had known each other since childhood. Their elders had once hoped they could be together. But their relationship was more about friendship, lacking in romantic feelings for one another, and they had eventually let go of that prospect.

However, this did not affect their friendship. Kong Hongyi had not only openly declared on the message board that he would teach Chu Mo a lesson but had also just mocked Lu Hongxue. Naturally, Yiyi did not look upon him kindly.

With a smile on her stunning face, Yiyi nodded to Lu Hongxue first, then smiled at Xuan'er and Xuanxuan, "Hello, beautiful ladies."

Yet, the actions of Xuan'er and Xuanxuan were quite interesting as they both bowed in unison to Yiyi, "We pay our respects to our auntie."
