"Dad, we're already about a kilometer deep, aren't we?" The Snow Maiden handed over some fruit as she asked.
Qi Yue nodded, saying, "I think so. However, making any more progress is incredibly difficult. The density of the ice surpasses anything I've encountered before. Each time I go down, I'm only able to move less than twenty meters."
Wen Ting looked at Qi Yue's face, now pale as iron, and said worriedly: "Qi Yue, why don't you rest for the next few days before we continue? The temperature down there is just too low. If we continue this way, your body might give out before we find anything."
Qi Yue smiled slightly, "Don't worry. Even though it's difficult, cultivating in this environment has actually benefited the improvement of my spiritual power. My body will be fine. Plus, we are getting closer to the mountainside. I believe it won't be long before our tough times lead to a sweet reward. I just hope that our efforts these past few days have not been in vain."
