The Chief of Langya Mountain and the chiefs of other famous mountains, one after another, posted notices with photos, proving that their respective famous mountains could indeed escape the blizzards.

Moreover, they decided to set up sects, allowing people to enter the famous mountains for refuge as long as they provided Essence Qi Pills or equivalent Spiritual Medicine as tuition fees.

And they would sincerely teach people more exquisite cultivation techniques.

Unlike now, where ordinary people can only learn the cultivation methods up to the Mingjin level. For the subsequent cultivation methods of Dark Energy and Energy Transformation, one basically has to wait for the Great Xia Martial Pavilion to approve them after passing evaluations.

"Although I am different, we all belong to the living beings of Earth, and especially to Huaxia. I do not wish to see humanity perish in this disaster, and we will not keep secrets. We will surely teach everyone the top-grade cultivation techniques, ensuring that education is available to all!"

This news shook the entire internet!

Previously, many who had received the Elixir distribution regretted why they had consumed the Elixirs so early. Otherwise, they could now hide in the famous mountains without waiting for uncertain future Elixir supplies.

And those who hadn't received the Essence Qi Pills yet were mostly tempted. They considered offering the Essence Qi Pills to these mountain chiefs to exchange for a spot in the ark.

Indeed, for the people, the famous mountains were no different from a lifesaving ark during a great flood.

And the only problem was how they could step out of their homes and reach the famous mountains to offer the Elixirs without taking the Elixirs themselves.

Yes, the problem arose again...

Each person only has one Essence Qi Pill. Once taken, you can step out and go to the mountains to become an apprentice, but... what would you offer as an apprentice gift?

If you don't take the Essence Qi Pill, given the current harsh weather, you would likely freeze to death before reaching the nearby famous mountains!

So, people first began asking the mountain chiefs if they could send someone to pick them up so that they could offer the Essence Qi Pills and be safely escorted to the famous mountains.

But after receiving no response, people started arguing until finally, they called on official authorities to hand over their future Elixir allocations in advance. That way, they could take one Essence Qi Pill and use another to find a famous mountain to seek refuge.

And once again, after receiving no response.

Soon, someone posted that he had stolen his relative's Essence Qi Pill and was now on the way to a famous mountain to become an apprentice.

"I just snatched my sister's Elixir and am now on the way to the nearest famous mountain. Hopefully, everything goes well!"

"You beast, aren't you human?"

A group of people furiously lambasted the poster under the thread.

Shortly after, another person posted, claiming that someone finally came to their community to distribute Elixirs, and then, after the staff left, he stole his neighbor's Essence Qi Pills.

"I am someone with great achievement in Dark Energy, so even without taking the Elixirs, I could hold out for a few more days at home in such weather. But going outside is uncertain. Just in case, I borrowed all my neighbor's Essence Qi Pills once the people delivering the Elixirs left our community, and I'm now on the way to Mount Lu..."

This post, naturally, was also met with condemnation, but significantly less so than the post about stealing his sister's Elixir.

And you could see that initially, some insulting replies gradually decreased.

If nothing unexpected happens, these individuals likely decided to "borrow" Elixirs from others once the Elixirs were delivered to their community...

The online heated discussion was unknown to Mu Jinyu, who was wholeheartedly engrossed in alchemy trying to save people. However, Mu Hongchen, who handled the trivial matters like Elixir delivery, was naturally informed.

"Do famous mountains really have such peculiarity?"

"They claim to teach everyone equally, yet they require Essence Qi Pills as apprenticeship fees. This group of beasts is clearly targeting the Essence Qi Pills, trying to make us humans kill each other without shedding a drop of blood!"

Mu Hongchen angrily slammed the table and said.

"Indeed, they have a cunning plan. If people come to become apprentices, they gain Essence Qi Pills. If not many come, they incite internal chaos among us, starting internal conflict! This group of beasts is becoming more and more intelligent!"

Gu Xiyan's face turned icy as she became increasingly annoyed with the mountain chiefs' announcements.

Wen Rou and Mei Yinxue, along with several other women, were also indignant!

Mu Hongchen did not speak, pulling out her phone to text someone, advising them to temporarily refrain from delivering Elixirs to prevent neighbors from turning against each other once they finished delivering.

Then, uncertain whether the news about the mountains blocking snow disasters was true or false, Mu Hongchen turned to Wen Rou and said:

"Xiaorou, your strength is the greatest among us. Please take a trip to Zijin Mountain in Jinling that the Dragon Master conquered a few days ago to see if that mountain is warmer than our Yinlong Mountain. If it is, we will notify the Dragon Master to directly attack these famous mountains occupied by demon beasts so they won't have to painstakingly use alchemy to save people anymore."

"Alright, I'll head there right now." Wen Rou, wearing a white dress with her arms and legs exposed, did not seem to feel any chill as she nodded to Mu Hongchen and turned to leave.

Among the women present, only Wen Rou, Gu Xiyan, and Jian Ruyan continued to dress in summer clothes because their strength was either in the Fanxu Realm or they cultivated the Ice Attribute techniques and had become accustomed to it.

The others, with a cultivation of the Divinity Transformation Realm, still felt some chill from the cold snap and had switched to wearing down jackets to keep warm.

Wen Rou made a trip to Zijin Mountain and returned half an hour later.

"Aunt Mu, it was indeed as those demon beasts claimed. I just went to Zijin Mountain and felt it wasn't as cold as our Yinlong Mountain. Quite a number of cultivators are there sheltering from the snowstorm. They had been secretly cultivating at Zijin Mountain..."

"Some people are just ordinary. I asked them how they had moved to Zijin Mountain for refuge. They said they were tourists who came to visit Zijin Mountain yesterday. But due to sudden snow and strong winds, it was too cold outside to return to the hotel, so they retreated to Zijin Mountain, and thus they survived."

Upon hearing Wen Rou's words, Mu Hongchen's eyes brightened and then smiled gleefully: "Great, I'll now inform the Dragon Master of this news to see if these monsters can still collect Essence Qi Pills as tuition, can make us kill each other, and hold their famous mountains!"

After speaking, Mu Hongchen made a call to the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow team, asking them to go to the depths of Qinling to inform Mu Jinyu of this news, telling him that they had verified the news, and he could act boldly!

...

Qinling.

In the folded space.

Although the environment here had turned quite a bit colder, it was like an ordinary transition from summer to winter.

Except for those with little cultivation like alchemist tool-persons who put on warm underwear and down jackets, others with Dark Energy cultivation or higher mostly did not need to wear winter clothes.

Mu Jinyu, however, remained steadfast in alchemy, frantically making Essence Qi Pills at the rate of one furnace of nine pills per second.

Though he knew it was only a drop in the bucket, Mu Jinyu dared not stop alchemy as long as he thought each extra pill might save several families' lives.

As for why he did not create more alchemy furnaces, the current ripening speed of spiritual medicine in the medicine field was just barely sufficient. Even if he produced thousands more furnaces, there would not be enough spiritual medicine to make the Essence Qi Pills.

"Dragon Master, Dragon Master..."

At this moment, Xia Ruochen, learning of the news, hurried over to awaken Mu Jinyu from his alchemic trance.

"What is it?"

Mu Jinyu's eyes showed a bit of confusion as he lifted his head to look at Xia Ruochen, tinged with some irritation.

Xia Ruochen then quickly and briefly recounted the issue with the mountain chiefs to Mu Jinyu.

After hearing this, Mu Jinyu's hands stopped the alchemic process immediately.

Then, suddenly, he began to laugh—a brilliant smile.
