XIAO SHUXIANG'S

102 - Snow Hill Without Seasons [Revised]

It had been three days since Xiao Shuxiang's first mission, this time he and the other disciples visited one of the 4 Elders' hills, the Snow Hill Without a Season.

First Patriarch, Yu Changhai welcomed the outer sect disciples and the Sky Sword Sect junior disciples at the foot of the hill.

Xiao Shuxiang and his companions were seen pecking when several times they saw the First Patriarch shivering and sneezing.

What a real oddity, when a cultivator should have a stronger physique and not easily fall ill. Seeing Yu Changhai like this, it felt..

Xiao Shuxiang, "Is he really a cultivator?"

"Either Brother Xiao, the First Patriarch is indeed a little strange." Jing Mi half whispered, "I've heard one of the senior disciples talk about the weirdness of a cultivator who has lived for more than a hundred years..."

"Aah~ I know that, you won't understand the way the cultivator's mind has aged.."

Xiao Shuxiang then listened to the explanation of the First Patriarch.

"Hachiu... Ah," Yu Changhai rubbed his nose with a handkerchief, his voice was a bit nasal. "Your job is to climb the hill until you find my residence and you must not use Qi to warm your body."

The temperature in the Snowy Hills Without Seasons is often fickle. Starting from medium cold to extreme. Although the sun was shining brightly, it would not be able to warm anything on the Snow Hill Without the Season.

First Patriarch, with just a single swing of his hand, the entire disciple now got a striped seal on his forehead, including Xiao Shuxiang.

The function of the seal was in addition to preventing all disciples from using Qi, as well as for Yu Changhai to know where they were.

After listening to the First Patriarch's explanation, the entire disciple began to walk up the hill. It is beneficial to train their body's resilience in the face of cold weather by relying only on their own energy.

For a disciple who practiced the Breathing Technique like Xiao Shuxiang, none of this was a problem. But not for the other students, they only knew one breathing technique, that was without them being able to develop.

As far as the eyes could see, what Jing Mi and her friends saw was a light green snow blanket. The longer it went, the snow that was originally green turned white.

The weather started to change, the wind suddenly blew. Jing Mi had just realized that some outer sect disciples no longer walked along with her. It's not all day and they're getting cold.

Snow Hill Without a Season is not too high, it only takes about a full day to climb to the top. Of course, if the one climbing it was at the Foundation Master level or above, even though they did not use Qi.

But it would be very different if these kids did it. Xiao Shuxiang did not want to wait for his friends, he quickly walked away from Jing Mi and the other sect disciples.

When no one saw, Xiao Shuxiang started running. The thick snow and strong cold wind, in fact, did not become a barrier for him.

Xiao Shuxiang, "Brother Jing. I'll wait for you upstairs."

"Eh?"

!!

Jing Mi upon hearing that Xiao Shuxiang was about to wait for herself on top, became shocked. Moreover, after saying that, Xiao Shuxiang immediately left himself just like that.

Jing Mi and her siblings were so dumbfounded. They were thinking how could Xiao Shuxiang walk that fast in such a cold atmosphere and seem to be able to freeze these strands of hair?

Jing Mi, "Brother Xiao must have been taught by the Third Patriarch,"

Hou Yong, "You're right, Brother Jing. The First Patriarch's seal is like it doesn't work on him.."

"Why shut up? Come on, don't want to lose to Brother Xiao," Yi Wen patted the arms of Jing Mi and Hou Yong, inviting his two friends to hasten the pace in order to catch up with Xiao Shuxiang.

Hou Yong, "That's impossible, just walk slowly.."

The longer, the wind gets colder. The disciple who could not bear to walk, began to look for wood that could be burned. Unfortunately, even the trees seem to freeze.

Xiao Shuxiang was already in the middle of the white snow expanse, he looked back and saw not a single one of his friends nor the other sect disciples.

Merely, not long before someone darted quickly at the side and preceded Xiao Shuxiang. It was Lan Guan Zhi.

?!

Not far behind Lan Guan Zhi, a girl who turned out to be Sian Ru was seen running fast. Sian Ru herself flinched when she saw Xiao Shuxiang. He immediately sped up his run and caught up with Lan Guan Zhi.

Xiao Shuxiang started to catch up and passed by one by one the Heaven Sword Sect disciples that were in front of him. Sian Ru clucked in annoyance when Xiao Shuxiang managed to precede him.

Sian Ru and the other Heaven Sword Sect disciples gasped when Xiao Shuxiang preceded Lan Guan Zhi. Whereas all this time, no one had ever been able to get ahead of Lan Guan Zhi while climbing the hill.

A little ignorant, Xiao Shuxiang with his Fire Breathing deliberately stepped on the snow deeper and made it avalanche to make it difficult for Lan Guan Zhi including the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect.

!!

Sian Ru and her comrades were so shocked. They tried to escape, but it was too late. An avalanche hit and hoarded them. Fortunately, the avalanches were not too numerous, so they could still sustain lives.

Only Lan Guan Zhi managed to escape the landslide. He began to help his friends who were a little troubled.

At first, they thought this avalanche was just a coincidence. But after seeing Xiao Shuxiang standing some distance away from them and raising his right leg back with a gentle smile.

Simultaneously with Xiao Shuxiang lifting his foot, the avalanche started to happen again. And this time, much bigger than before.

"DO YOU INTEND TO KILL US?!" Sian Ru shouted out loudly, she was so angry at Xiao Shuxiang. How now?! His avalanche was accelerating and seemed to be on him.

"Not really. Let's just say it's a little revenge for your treatment of my people."

Although no one heard Xiao Shuxiang's voice, Sian Ru and his comrades were like knowing that Xiao Shuxiang was avenging his friends.

The avalanche looked like a three-meter-high wave roll and was rapidly rising. Sian Ru dodged as far as possible, some of her friends started to be swallowed up by the avalanche. Lan Guan Zhi with his breathing technique started jumping up onto one of the frozen trees.

He saw Xiao Shuxiang stepping away and was seen making several more avalanches. In his opinion, Xiao Shuxiang really wanted to bury them alive.

As the avalanche touched the tree where Lan Guan Zhi was, he could feel the tree shaking.

Jing Mi and her siblings heard a rumbling sound that was slowly getting louder. One of the outer sect disciples exclaimed loudly and it made Jing Mi and the others surprised.

They immediately sought refuge. There was only a frozen tree on the Seasonless Snow Hill, touching it a little would make the hands cold to numb.

"Mom!!" Feng Ying hugged Jing Mi, she was already too cold and was now met with a roll of white and cold waves.

Jing Mi directly carried Feng Ying and exclaimed for her friends to hold on tightly to the trees or climb over them.

"Expiritual..! I don't want to die from snow!"

"Are you the only one who doesn't want to? We are the same..! It was better to die at the hands of a strong cultivator than to be buried in it..!"

The outer sect disciples who lacked understanding towards the breathing technique, looked so tightly hugging the frozen tree, they had to endure the coldness of the tree until the avalanche subsided.

The snow roll began to hit whatever it was passing through. Very lucky because these frozen trees although swaying, but not easily collapsed. Jing Mi and her friends try to survive as much as possible.

Elsewhere, the First Patriarch was seen laughing as he watched the snow-covered disciples of the Sky Sword Sect. Moreover, one of the children was heard saying he did not want to be buried in snow before seeing the grandchildren of his grandchildren.

Xiao Shuxiang first arrived at the First Patriarch's residence. The snow on his feet was sky blue and there was a wisteria tree with red flowers. Very rare types of wisteria.

Xiao Shuxiang walked around the Patriarch's residence, he could see an ice ginseng plant that had the properties of neutralizing poison and improving the practice.

Without asking for permission, Xiao Shuxiang picked it up and directly brought it into the Patriarch's residence.

?!

The First Patriarch who was sitting in the main room seemed to raise his eyebrows next to the time a child entered his room and walked so leisurely.

"Chairman, I'll borrow your kitchen for a second.." Xiao Shuxiang then walked hurriedly without noticing the dumbfounded face of the First Patriarch.

"He is... whose son is..? Dare to regard my residence as his own.." The First Patriarch shook his head slowly.
