As soon as Yi Ling reached for the Icy Frost Grass, It had alerted the Snow King Leopard. The Snow King Leopard was close having a breakthrough and so he was keenly watching the Icy Frost Grass.
Yi Ling was extra careful but she wasn't able to guess how the Snow King Leopard was so protective of the Icy Frost Grass.
When she tried to grab one stalk of the Icy Frost Grass, the snow that had been on it had gently fallen on the ground. A subtle move that caused the Snow King Leopard to open its eyes. It would've been easy to just wave her sleeve and pull those grass inside her Ring, unfortunately, She had to be gentle with it.
The thing about Icy Frost Grass is that they have delicate roots. One mistake could cause the Grass to wither and die. By then, it would be hard to find them again. Icy Frost Grass was already rare. Growing them would take years to achieve.
