Yun Jinnian nodded, carefully stowed the small tripod and insect in his pouch, and secured it at his waist to prevent loss.

Hu Laotie had already taken the lead in cooking some meat soup, a bowl for each person, which warmed them up after eating it with two steamed buns to fill their stomachs.
Although they had brought rice and flour, these were to be saved for use at the mountain peak.
"Another two hours of walking and we'll reach the mountain top, let's eat something first before we go!"
Once they reached the mountain peak, they couldn't rush to search for the Tian Mountain Snow Lotus; they needed to find a place to settle down first.
The side of the mountain was covered with snow all year round, leaving no trees at all, but there were a few lush medicinal plants that had been dug up and stored away to sell for a good price once they got back down the mountain.
