Leng Ruo Li could only toss the white pebble into her system space again, leaving it neglected.
Afterward, she seized this opportunity to use her will to delve into her space laboratory for research.
Last time, Leng Ruo Li had ventured into the primeval forest to save her father. Not only did she slay the Six-Unlike Beast and obtain a green Ice-Fire Bead, but she also acquired a finely-leaved, fragrant herb.
At that time, she had dug up this herb and directly placed it into the laboratory within her system space (as Leng Ruo Li's system space had a preservation function). She didn't know the name or effects of this herb.
However, after she finished reading the copied ancient medical book given to her by Doctor Ye, she learned that the green, finely-leaved, fragrant herb was the Immortal Pattern Grass, and it was also the primary ingredient for making the Jade Dew Pill.
Currently, Immortal Pattern Grass was extremely rare on this continent. The Jade Dew Pills made with it had excellent medicinal effects; no matter how severe a person's injury was, taking one Jade Dew Pill could save a life.
Now Leng Ruo Li realized how extravagant the original owner was, actually giving away all the Jade Dew Pills left to her by Granny Hua to that heartless and vicious Prince Qing. It truly infuriated her.
However, fortunately, Xing'er still had three Jade Dew Pills hidden on her. When she returned to the Cold King's Manor, she would ask Xing'er for one, and she must thoroughly research the manufacturing components of the Jade Dew Pill herself.
A while ago, because Leng Ruo Li had been busy with various matters, she had forgotten about researching the Jade Dew Pill.
Subsequently, Leng Ruo Li planted this Immortal Pattern Grass on the newly developed lawn within the system space. However, she could only place it in a corner, strictly guarding it from being eaten by the four horses she had put into the space.
After planting the Immortal Pattern Grass, she began to research the Fire Spirit Fruit that Doctor Ye had given her.
This Fire Spirit Fruit was also recorded in the ancient medical book as a medicinal material, but the ancient medical book did not clearly explain its effects, which troubled her. She could only slowly discover its properties and medicinal effects through her experimental research.
Then, Leng Ruo Li pricked the Fire Spirit Fruit with a silver needle, extracted some juice, and placed it into an instrument for automated testing.
At this moment, Jun Mo Han and Chu Ming Xuan had just finished bathing and emerged from the hot spring pool.
Upon seeing Leng Ruo Li, Chu Ming Xuan eagerly said, "Consort, can you give me some of that shampoo that can squeeze out white cream with a gentle press, and that thing called 'Lu'?"
Chu Ming Xuan chuckled and asked shamelessly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Mo Han's eyebrows furrowed instantly. He, Jun Mo Han, had been generous for once, allowing Chu Ming Xuan to use something good his wife had produced. Yet, Chu Ming Xuan was actually coveting his wife's things. This fellow was truly infuriating! Next time, nothing his wife produced could be used by Chu Ming Xuan.
"Certainly. The shampoo and body wash Jun Mo Han is holding are newly opened. You can use them," Leng Ruo Li replied calmly and indifferently.
"Li'er, if you give these two bottles to him, what will this King use?" Jun Mo Han said with an annoyed expression.
"I still have some, enough for you to use. Just give him the ones you're holding," Leng Ruo Li said speechlessly.
"Your Highness, don't be so stingy. Consort said she still has some. Just let me use these two bottles," Chu Ming Xuan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jun Mo Han cast a cold glance at Chu Ming Xuan, directly tossed him the shampoo and body wash he was holding, and then found a rock to sit on. He took out a book titled "Continental Topography" from his sleeve pocket and began reading it intently by flashlight.
The others also found places to sit and rest.
The next morning, as the sun rose high in the sky, the temperature on the mountain quickly increased.
Leng Ruo Li and Jun Mo Han got up early. Leng Ruo Li took out several bottles of milk and a few bags of bread from the small supermarket in her system space and distributed them to Jun Mo Han and the others.
After breakfast, they immediately resumed their mountain climbing journey.
The closer Leng Ruo Li and Jun Mo Han got to the summit, the higher the temperature became, and they were all sweating profusely from the heat.
"Consort, I really can't stand it anymore. It's getting hotter the further up we go. We might turn into dried corpses from the heat before we can even pick the Fire Spirit Ganoderma. Look at this mountain path; as we walk, only about a dozen people are still struggling to climb towards the summit," Chu Ming Xuan complained incessantly.
"Then we can't just give up like this! This is our only hope of saving Your Highness," Leng Ruo Li sighed.
"Li'er, perhaps we should give up. It's already this hot before we even reach the summit. If we reach the summit, won't we be cooked? Look at those few people opposite us who have already given up."
Jun Mo Han did not want to see Leng Ruo Li and the others suffer so much for his sake. He wanted to persuade Leng Ruo Li to give up.
"Jun Mo Han, we are almost at the summit. If you want me to give up now, then everything we've done before would be in vain," Leng Ruo Li said angrily.
"Your Highness, this subordinate believes Consort is right. We absolutely cannot give up," Yin Chen, Yin Yi, and Yin Er said in unison.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ming Xuan immediately chimed in, "Your Highness, Consort, I have no intention of giving up either. What I said just now was just my idle chatter; please don't mind it. As Consort said, if we give up now, then everything we've done before will be in vain."
In fact, Chu Ming Xuan was more anxious than anyone else to cure the wolf poison on Jun Mo Han's body, as they were once brothers who had gone through thick and thin together. Although he appeared unreliable, he was a deeply loyal and righteous man at heart.
"Alright, let's rest for a bit and then continue moving forward."
Leng Ruo Li frowned slightly, turned around, and saw that everyone who had climbed to this spot with them had already returned the way they came. She then took out several medical ice packs from her sleeve pocket and distributed them to Jun Mo Han and Chu Ming Xuan.
"Wow, this ice pack is really refreshing! Consort, I didn't expect you to have such good things prepared. It's truly amazing."
Chu Ming Xuan, holding the ice pack given to him by Leng Ruo Li, was overjoyed.
Jun Mo Han, looking at the ice pack in his hand, suddenly recalled something.
Last time, when he and Li'er went to the primeval forest to search for Leng Jin Yu, didn't Li'er obtain an Ice-Fire Bead?
The Ice-Fire Bead was a magical treasure that could automatically cool down when encountering extreme heat and automatically warm up when encountering extreme cold.
"Li'er, do you still have that Ice-Fire Bead you obtained last time?" Jun Mo Han suddenly asked.
"Yes, I do. What's wrong?" Leng Ruo Li asked with a puzzled expression.
"Hold it in your hand, and I'll hold your hand to see if it can cool us down."
As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Ruo Li directly took out the Ice-Fire Bead from her sleeve pocket and held it in her hand. Instantly, a cool sensation emanated from her palm and spread throughout her entire body.
