Hearing Shi Yuezhu say this, Shen Han shook his head again.

"That's not the right way to put it. Without that jade pendant, I should have been knocked unconscious by the overwhelming pressure and fallen off the mountain...

Besides, I'm completely unfamiliar with this Immortal Extinction Array and this Heart-Breaking Vine.

Speaking of which, I should probably give you more..."

Shen Han no longer addresses Shi Yuezhu as senior, but doesn't know what to call her, so he just brushes it off.

Shi Yuezhu seems to think this is better, as she doesn't like Shen Han calling her senior either.

It sounds like she's much older, but she's only ten years older, not even twenty.

On this point, the two of them are very much in tune.

Sitting opposite, Shi Yuezhu saw Shen Han wanting to share half of the fruit with her and shook her head again.

"The nature of these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is unique; swallowing one whole can perfectly unleash its properties.

If you split it in half, it would waste its effectiveness, doing more harm than good.

Don't be so stubborn, listen to my advice; it's best if you consume it alone."

Shi Yuezhu said softly, offering her advice.

Perhaps she's right, but Shen Han still shook his head.

"If you don't want to share it, then let's not eat it at all. We can take it out and exchange it for some gold and silver..."

This suggestion even made the usually gentle Shi Yuezhu frown with a playful scold, and she couldn't help but slap Shen Han's thigh lightly.

"Nonsense, how much gold and silver can equal this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure?

After all the hard work we went through to get it, it's not something that gold and silver can measure..."

The two of them went back and forth like this, both being quite generous, wanting the other to consume this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

They really talked a lot...

The surrounding swaying little trees were already tired of listening.

But this man and woman didn't seem to mind, finding various reasons to prove that the other should consume this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

After about a two-hour period, they finally reached an agreement.

Alright... let's still split it evenly...

Inside the Immortal Extinction Array, it's not suitable to consume this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. Wait until the Immortal Extinction Array expires, then consume it.

The Heart-Breaking Vine's fruit was casually placed on the grass pile, appearing somewhat careless.

If it were outside, such Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure would likely be heavily guarded to prevent any issues.

If robbers came, they probably wouldn't believe it's that Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

Shen Han glanced at the orange entry of this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

[Fruit of Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Essence]

Shen Han thought about it and decided not to extract the orange entry.

The effect of an entry attached to an item is still significantly related to the item itself.

Back when he was in the Shen Family, Shen Han tried some experiments.

He extracted an entry [Contains Poison] and applied it to a dish.

The poison from the [Poisonous Dish] actually related to the original nature of the dish.

Normal dishes turn toxic, but it's just spoiled poison, causing a few stomachaches.

Even attaching a [Contains Lethal Poison] entry to a normal dish, the toxicity wasn't enough to be fatal.

And turning it toxic altered its appearance, smell, and taste.

So back at the Shen Family, Shen Han didn't use this entry-poisoning strategy against those people.

Similarly, placing a [Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Essence] entry on a Heart-Breaking Vine fruit, a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure like this, would have an effect far greater than putting it on a cabbage.

After all, this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure is his, and there's no need to extract the orange entry.

During this Heart-Breaking Vine's attack, master cultivators fell.

On the way, Shen Han considered scavenging items from those fallen.

Upon hearing this thought, Shi Yuezhu immediately shook her head to stop him.

The items of master cultivators aren't easy to take, as they have many defenses.

These fallen ones were backed by powerful sects.

If discovered by their supporting forces after taking their items, they'd think he was the killer.

It could cause great trouble without much benefit.

Knowing this, Shen Han didn't bring it up anymore.

Over nearly a month, they felt like they were in an idyllic paradise.

There were no worries about food or clothing, and much less conflict and trouble.

Here was much more comfortable than outside.

Shen Han occasionally counts the days; he eventually has to return.

The people of the Shen Family are harsh enough that even a late return might mean Cailing suffers.

Shi Yuezhu also has some personal concerns, as the sect's next leader might be her.

With the sect on her shoulders, she has many worries.

The boy in front of her and herself...

Winter set in.

Snow started to fall in the mountain woods at night.

In the morning, the roof of the small hut was covered in snow.

Shi Yuezhu, draped in animal fur, was building a snowman in front of the hut.

As she built, she noticed Shen Han watching her, her face slightly reddened, and she stopped.

The action was indeed a bit childish...

Shen Han smiled and walked over to her, joining in to build the snowman together.

Snowflakes gently floated down from the sky.

Soon, both of their heads were capped with a thin layer of snow.

"Is falling snow covering the head considered growing old together...?"

Upon seeing this scene, Shen Han inadvertently recited a line.

Shen Han whispered, but Shi Yuezhu still heard it...

The two glanced at each other, then lowered their heads again.

For a moment, a wave of disturbance swept through the world, causing the surrounding snow to scatter wildly.

The two stood up, holding hands cautiously, watching the surroundings.

The fluctuations grew stronger, and the space seemed to fold, bursting with strange radiant lights.

The eerie situation didn't last long, just a few breaths, before the radiance suddenly disappeared, and the fluctuations calmed.

Shen Han looked around, detecting no signs of anything unusual.

However, beside him, Shi Yuezhu's expression was slightly serious.

"The Immortal Extinction Array is starting to fail."

Saying this, Shi Yuezhu raised her hand to look at her Qiankun Ring.

In the blink of an eye, a long sword appeared in her hand.

"In at most three days, the Immortal Extinction Array will completely fail. I have now recovered to the strength of a Seventh Grade Martial Artist..."

"Then we can finally leave here..."

"Hmm..."

Although they could leave, they weren't as excited as expected.

Now able to use her Seventh Grade Martial Arts strength, Shi Yuezhu could open her own storage ring.

She changed into the Immortal Robe she brought, returning to her fairy-like appearance.

This time, she wore a light blue Immortal Robe, draped with a thin gauze, like the sunshine in winter and butterflies in spring.

Shen Han's eyes sparkled, wanting to take another look, yet thinking of something, he quickly withdrew his gaze.
