Qian Ying held the thermometer and pondered. He was actually considering whether to lead the team onward later or find a way to return to Hilly Nursery.
After all, the Nursery contained so many precious Golden-edged Snow Lotus plants. Compared with the Golden Thread Snow Lotus they had gathered along the way, they were far more valuable. They were the same kind of plant, yet one had golden edges while the other had golden threads—a difference as vast as heaven and earth.
Just thinking about the many Golden-edged Snow Lotus plants over a hundred years old in the Nursery made him unwilling to leave without taking some.
However, gathering these rare medicinal materials now presented several problems.
The first was the low-temperature environment. They had initially worried that the temperature would keep dropping. If the team remained here, all the Martial Artists would eventually be unable to withstand the continuing decline. The longer they stayed, the greater the danger.
Fortunately, the temperature had fluctuated at dawn before finally stopping its descent and holding steady at more than a hundred degrees below zero. In such an environment, the impact on Martial Artists was still relatively minor. This was especially true for the stronger ones, who were hardly affected at all.
Therefore, there was no need to worry too much about the low temperatures, Qian Ying thought.
What Qian Ying did not know was that if he met up with Chen Mo, he would learn that the temperature fluctuations were closely connected to Chen Mo gathering Golden-edged Snow Lotus the previous night.
Especially when Chen Mo had fought those Big White Dough Balls, if he had not used various Flame Burst Talismans and other means to offset Absolute Zero's effects on the environment, the temperature around the hills would not have remained
