"Congratulations on passing the assessment."
"From today onwards, you are official disciples of the Twin Extremes Sect."
"Upon returning to the sect, someone will guide you through the registration process."
"The Twin Extremes Sect has two lineages, Ice and Fire. You may choose freely."
...
After waiting for half an hour, no one else returned.
As the powerful figures of the Twin Extremes Sect headed back towards the sect, they briefed Qin Hanchu and others on the admission procedures.
Qin Hanchu felt no sense of belonging to the Twin Extremes Sect.
In his opinion, this sect was a group that prioritized profit above all else.
It wasn't that the Twin Extremes Sect was wrong, but rather that the sect's style was too dark.
However, it didn't matter. Qin Hanchu was only here to research the Hunyuan Wuji.
Upon returning to the sect, the group, led by disciples, completed the registration procedures.
"Junior Brother Qin, choose between Mystic Ice Peak and Flame Peak."
The senior brother in charge of registration asked Qin Hanchu.
Just as Qin Hanchu was about to reply, Hong Luan walked over. "Junior Brother, aren't you going to consider joining our Flame Peak?"
Seeing Hong Luan approach, the disciple responsible for registration quickly bowed. "Greetings, Senior Sister Hong Luan."
Hong Luan ignored the disciple and walked up to Qin Hanchu, smiling as she awaited his answer.
"As I said, I cultivate the power of Mystic Ice, so Mystic Ice Peak is the most suitable for me," Qin Hanchu replied.
"Even if you join Flame Peak, you can still cultivate on Mystic Ice Peak; it won't be an issue."
As Hong Luan finished speaking, a stunning woman in a white dress descended from the sky.
This woman's beauty was comparable to Hong Luan's, yet their demeanors were vastly different.
What surprised Qin Hanchu the most was that this white-clad woman had blue hair.
"Hong Luan, is Flame Peak that short of people?"
"That you have to personally come out to recruit?"
The blue-haired woman's voice was as cold as ice, carrying a chilling aura that kept people at a distance.
"Lan Yan, does this concern you?" Seeing the blue-haired woman, Hong Luan crossed her arms and snorted.
"Come with me. I have something to ask you."
With that, Lan Yan turned and headed in the direction of Mystic Ice Peak.
Qin Hanchu picked up the Mystic Ice Peak attire and followed Lan Yan, bewildered.
"I'm so angry." Seeing Qin Hanchu leave with Lan Yan, Hong Luan turned away in fury.
As they walked on Mystic Ice Peak, the surroundings were filled with ice and snow.
Even the trees and flowers were spiritual plants imbued with the element of ice.
"What does Senior Sister want to ask?"
Although he didn't know the background of the woman before him, her status within the sect was likely not low.
"Do you have a Silver-Eyed Snow Eagle?"
Lan Yan stopped, asking indifferently.
Hearing this, Qin Hanchu became even more convinced that the two men in black were disciples of the Twin Extremes Sect.
It couldn't have been information from Wuyacheng, could it?
"Yes," Qin Hanchu nodded.
"Name your price. Sell it to me."
Qin Hanchu asked, puzzled, "What does Senior Sister intend to use it for?"
"That has nothing to do with you."
Receiving this answer, Qin Hanchu said, "Then I refuse."
"Five hundred purple cards!"
Qin Hanchu didn't reply. He directly walked towards the new disciples' residences.
"Stop!"
This was the first time in the sect that someone had dared to ignore her like this.
Seeing Qin Hanchu turn to leave, she called out coldly.
Qin Hanchu did not stop, continuing forward.
Witnessing this, Lan Yan was enraged. She suddenly rushed towards Qin Hanchu and struck him with a palm.
Sensing the power behind him, Qin Hanchu turned and met her palm with one of his own.
Boom!
Their icy powers collided, exploding into terrifying gusts of energy.
Under this surge of energy, the accumulated snow on the ground was directly swept away.
Qin Hanchu stood his ground, as did Lan Yan opposite him.
"Such pure icy power, how did you achieve this?"
Lan Yan asked in surprise.
"Is this how the Twin Extremes Sect greets new disciples?" Qin Hanchu replied with an unrelated question.
"You..."
Qin Hanchu's question left Lan Yan somewhat speechless.
As the Saintess of Mystic Ice Peak, attacking a newly admitted disciple was indeed hard to justify.
Qin Hanchu snorted, then turned and left.
Lan Yan made no further move. She stared at Qin Hanchu's retreating back with a look of anger.
Qin Hanchu paid no mind to Lan Yan's thoughts.
Now that they were in the same sect, Lan Yan couldn't possibly kill him, could she?
Moreover, with Qin Hanchu's strength, he had no need to fear that woman.
If they were to fight, it was still uncertain who would win or lose.
An hour later, Qin Hanchu finally received his lodging.
It was a wooden house built from fir wood.
Although the wooden house was not large, it was sufficient for rest.
Closing the door, Qin Hanchu changed into the Mystic Ice Peak attire.
After changing, he headed towards the Mystic Ice Peak library.
As a new disciple, Qin Hanchu was entitled to choose a martial skill of the Warrior God level.
In addition to martial skills, he could also consult some basic information.
Qin Hanchu wanted to gain a better understanding of this world, and the information in the library was the most direct way.
As soon as he left the new disciples' quarters, Qin Hanchu stopped.
To Qin Hanchu's dismay, Lan Yan appeared again.
Lan Yan was currently looking at Qin Hanchu with a stern face. She said, "Five hundred purple cards is already a high price."
"With it by my side, it's equivalent to having a Warrior God-level attendant."
"Five hundred purple cards cannot protect me," Qin Hanchu said.
"I'll trade you another Spirit Beast of the Warrior God level," Lan Yan continued.
Qin Hanchu was puzzled. Why was this woman so set on the snow eagle?
"It's the same question as before, what do you want it for?"
Lan Yan replied expressionlessly, "I need its talons for medicinal purposes."
"Forget it. The snow eagle is my companion. I won't give it to you to be used as medicinal material."
Lan Yan frowned. "To be companions with Spirit Beasts? They are mere beasts, what right do they have to accompany us?"
"Judging by your appearance, you're a heartless person. I can't explain it to you."
"In short, I'm not selling. Don't bother me again."
"If you want to find snow eagles for medicinal purposes, go out and catch them yourself."
"Don't tell me snow eagles are very rare Spirit Beasts."
Qin Hanchu's words brought a flicker of anger to Lan Yan's face.
She said coldly, "In Qingniu Prefecture, snow eagles are indeed a rare existence."
Qin Hanchu no longer replied. He walked past Lan Yan.
"I will make you give it to me," Lan Yan said, seeing Qin Hanchu about to leave again.
"Don't waste your efforts."
With that parting remark, Qin Hanchu quickened his pace.
A moment later, he entered the Mystic Ice Peak library.
After registering at the entrance, Qin Hanchu went directly to the information section.
"Compendium of Celestial Bulls!"
"Detailed Explanation of Spirit Realms!"
"Compendium of Qingniu!"
These books were very useful to Qin Hanchu.
Unfortunately, he couldn't take them with him.
Since that was the case, Qin Hanchu sat in the library and read them carefully.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
During these three days, he had read through all the information.
However, he still found no records of Mount Moling.
