On the Jade Cold Peak.

Wei Yuan's exclamation made even the little mouse stick its head out.

It was afraid of the cold, usually completely curled up in the Spirit Garden Pouch.

Fortunately, Chen Xu had warmed the two little demons with his abundant True Qi, so now Little Mouse Ah Shi had forgotten the fear of nearly freezing and curiously looked down below.

At this sight, a vast landscape unfolded, and Ah Shi's small heart couldn't help but be overwhelmed.

It gasped and said, "So beautiful, such scenery I've never seen before."

Wei Yuan raised his head, a hint of pride in his voice that he didn't even realize, saying, "I have never seen it before either, but with Brother Chen here, in the future, you and I are sure to see more and more...

more beautiful scenery than we could have ever imagined!"

The little hedgehog was jubilant, feeling proud and delighted for having just answered Chen Xu's riddle.

Ah Shi originally wanted to retort a few words to Wei Yuan, but before it could speak, it considered the meaning in Wei Yuan's words:

With the scholar, with it... Although there's that annoying hedgehog, still, it seems, it's quite good.

Well, in that case, I won't argue with this hedgehog.

But seeing the hedgehog so proud for solving a riddle, Ah Shi felt it should also do something.

It slightly poked its little head out of the Spirit Garden Pouch, its grape-like big eyes rolling as it thought that while Chen Xu had struggled to find last year's snow in vain, it, in fact, had a talent for treasure-hunting.

However, its body was weak and had suffered from a Forbidden Curse before, so Master Jiu did not allow it to use this talent easily.

But if it's for the scholar, using it secretly just once shouldn't be a problem, right?

Yes, definitely not a problem!

Ah Shi bit its teeth secretly, not daring to open its mouth, only to quietly bite through its tongue tip, swallowing that trace of tongue blood into its belly.

Then, a strange force surged instantly from its belly.

Ah Shi immediately felt its whole body became light and its Divine Thought suddenly became exceptionally sharp, all the auras around it acquired different scents and colors in its eyes.

The scholar's scent was vast and distant, full of vitality, like the morning glow in the sky, with a resplendent sea of clouds.

The light extended across the horizon, boundless, containing infinite possibilities.

He stood so brilliantly there, with even a faint trace of golden light about him.

That is… that is an extremely faint, yet pure, golden light of merit.

Ah Shi was almost intoxicated by this dazzling aura, but it still remembered the purpose of using the Secret Technique.

So, it forcibly controlled its erratically drifting Divine Thought, passing over the aura of the little hedgehog beside it.

The hedgehog's aura was full of spirituality, like a cluster of dancing white light, lively and pure, with a hint of bookish scent.

To be honest, the scent wasn't unpleasing at all.

While Ah Shi's own body was filled with dim halos, fraught with contradictory Evil Qi.

Threads of malicious Evil Qi entwined in the gray-golden glow, making Ah Shi itself not want to cast another glance.

It lowered its eyes somewhat sorrowfully, listening as Chen Xu and Wei Yuan conversed:

"Ah Yuan, you are absolutely right. They say the landscape is like a dragon; we had never climbed such a peak before and assumed it was merely poetic imagination of predecessors.

But looking at it now, this magnificent landscape truly resembles a dragon traversing the mountains and seas, how wondrous."

Wei Yuan took out the book "Chronicles of the Strange and Mysterious" from the book box on his back, pointing at the cover while looking at it with Chen Xu:

"Brother Chen, is the creature on the cover of this book a real dragon, or a mighty landscape?

The books my teacher gives me are all so mysterious, each seeming to have profound meaning. Yet I am too foolish, always finding it hard to fully comprehend."

Chen Xu replied, "I don't know either, but at this moment, looking at this vast landscape and the book cover, Ah Yuan, I feel I might have had some realization..."

"What?" Wei Yuan was startled.

Then he saw Chen Xu standing quietly in place, suddenly blowing gently towards a cluster of accumulated snow in front of him.

In the next instance, that perennial snow was blown up like goose feathers.

This scene was indeed quite magical.

Because the snow on Jade Cold Peak was aged, and wasn't actually loose.

Ordinarily, not to mention blowing it away with a breath, even trying to scoop it up by hand would require effort.

Not to mention, the snow, once blown up, was fluffed like pieces of goose feathers.

Truly, it seemed as if a new snow had just fallen from the sky.

Pieces of "goose feathers" fluttered and flew, majestic as jade trees and silver flowers, and seemed like the celestial maiden of snow scattering petals in the sky.

Wei Yuan looked up, stunned.

At this moment, Wei Yuan didn't notice that not far from the swirling snowflakes, a snowy white head emerged from behind a snow-covered rock.

Because everything seemed pure white, the snow-white head blended in, making it practically undetectable.

It was no wonder Wei Yuan failed to notice.

Ah Shi, who was carefully probing for the presence of "last year's snow," suddenly twitched its nose, eyes lighting up.

Its ears perked up, but its mouth remained tightly shut.

Because the wisp of Spirit Blood on its tongue had not yet been completely absorbed, Ah Shi dared not speak, fearing it would expose the aura of Spirit Blood.

This would not only defy Master Jiu's teachings but also possibly attract entities it wished to avoid, unnecessarily troubling the scholar.

Ah Shi swiftly maneuvered its Demonic Power and widened its eyes.

Through the fluttering snowflakes, Ah Shi suddenly sensed an odd, refreshing coolness.

Drip—

It turned out a drop of water had somehow landed on Ah Shi's furry head.

Wei Yuan also had a few droplets on his head, causing him to exclaim, and then he saw Chen Xu gently wave his hand.

Instantly, all the snowflakes swirling in the air avoided the three feet around him.

As if an invisible shield surrounded him, making the flying snowflakes retreat.

Simultaneously, amid those fluttering snowflakes, countless more water droplets appeared.

It was rain!

It turned out Chen Xu had personally observed the vast river systems of Qinglin Prefecture, and after yet another look at the cover of "Chronicles of the Strange and Mysterious," he felt something and suddenly understood the Rain Technique.

Of course, this wasn't considered a completely original spell.

More accurately, it was a deepened application of the Water Drawing Technique by Chen Xu.

But it's important to know that Chen Xu had always struggled with the progress of the Water Drawing Technique.

Among the Four Great Techniques of Chopping Wood, Fire Control, Wind Summoning, and Water Drawing, he was the slowest to progress in Water Drawing, having the least insight.

Chen Xu always thought he would have to rely on persistent effort to improve in Water Drawing, or perhaps one day refine a Water Spirit Crystal, relying on the power of Spiritual Food to enhance his insight in water magic for a breakthrough.

Who would have thought that at this moment, he would have an epiphany?
