"In Cold Light Province, the Medicine Sect has quite a few outposts..."
Nalan Yue looked thoughtful. With a light wave of her hand, magic power surged out like a tide and formed a vast map covered in gleaming snow.
The map floated in the middle of the hall, white and luminous. Its mountains, rivers, cities, and outposts appeared in the finest detail, like a miniature world.
It was a map of Cold Light Province.
Chen Changming swept his gaze across it. Though Cold Light Province was cold, many places were not covered in snow. Instead, they were lush and green.

She said slowly, "There is a Snow Bamboo Sect here. It is one of the Medicine Sect's bases for cultivating ice-type spiritual herbs.
