“Alright!” Stout responded before walking over.
Luis Long’s legs had already been severed by Billy, his power completely sealed. Under Stout’s interrogation, it took less than half a minute for him to confess everything.
As everyone had suspected, Frigid Fortress and Polar Trading Guild were planning to attack Skydragon City in five days.
This timing coincided with the deadline given to Stephanie by the Moyer and Vaughan families.
As for which families in Skydragon City were colluding with Frigid Fortress, Luis Long was not sure. As an outsider, it was natural for him not to know.
Additionally, Billy confirmed one thing, Luis Long did indeed come from the Long family back home.
Decades ago, he left his family and arrived in the Polar Domain, where he coincidentally saved an elder from Hundred Herbs Valley, which led him to stay.
“Mr Gardner, time is of the essence. I will accompany you to that snow mountain!” After pulling Luis Long away, Brett Charleston looked at Billy and spoke.
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr Charleston.” Billy replied.
“Mr Cline is still not fully recovered. The valley needs you to oversee things. We can handle the snow mountain on our own!”
“But, that Spiritual Beast…” Brett Charleston continued.
“We’re just going to give it a try. If it’s not feasible, we won’t force it,” Billy cut him off.
“Then… alright, be careful!” Brett Charleston did not insist further.
He knew that with his cultivation, he couldn’t help in the face of a seventh-tier Spiritual Beast.
“Wynne, go get my medicine box!” Nathan Cline looked at Wynne Cline and said.
“Okay!” Wynne Cline nodded and walked into one of the bedrooms.
Two minutes later, she came out carrying a moderately sized medicine box.
“Mr Gardner, please accept these ten pills. Consider it a small gesture from our Hundred Herbs Valley!” Nathan Cline handed Billy a delicate small pillbox from which he took out ten pills.
Seeing Nathan Cline give the entire pillbox to Billy, Brett Charleston and Wynne Cline were both surprised.
They knew the value of these ten pills. For martial artists, they were an invaluable treasure!
“Mr Cline, what is this?” Billy asked.
“These are the Hundred Herbs Pills personally refined by my grandfather!” Wynne Cline explained.
“These pills contain over a hundred of the finest herbs and precious resources, and it took ten days and nights of refining to form them.”
“For a mid-level Saint and below, swallowing one pill will likely lead to a breakthrough of at least one level!”
“So powerful?” Stout exclaimed.
“Mr Cline, this item is too precious. I can’t take all of it. I’ll take three pills!” Billy also hesitated before saying.
“These are just worldly possessions!” Nathan Cline replied.
“You’re going to look for the Crystal Spirit Fruit, which entails unknown risks. This is the only help I can offer, please don’t refuse, Mr Gardner.”
“Alright then!” Billy accepted, taking the pillbox and thanking Nathan Cline once more.
“You’re very welcome! Compared to what you have done for Hundred Herbs Valley, this gesture is insignificant!”
After a few more exchanges, Billy and his team bid farewell and left.
Due to the urgency of the situation, they declined Nathan Cline’s offer to stay overnight and set off for the snow mountain immediately.
Once on the carriage, Billy took out his satellite phone and dialed his mother’s number.
When the call connected, Billy briefly told his mother about the plans about Frigid Fortress and Polar Trading Guild, urging her to prepare in advance.
He didn’t mention to his mother that they were going to the snow mountain to find the Crystal Spirit Fruit, fearing she would worry.
After hanging up the phone, Billy had Casey distribute one pill from Nathan Cline to each person.
Following this, he took one himself, evidently wanting to test the pill’s effectiveness first.
Without any surprises, two hours later, a strong aura surged from him, revealing his Fourth-rank Saint realm cultivation!
“Oh, this pill is really that powerful!” Upon sensing Billy’s aura, Bob couldn’t help but exclaim.
“It is indeed strong,” Billy nodded, “You all better make good use of your time; I’ll watch over you!”
He felt that this Hundred Herbs Pill was even better than the four pills Elder Grand gave him.
The Hundred Herbs Pills truly lived up to their reputation as a treasure of the Hundred Herbs Valley.
“Okay!” With the exception of Stout, Casey and the others all responded, then each took their pill and entered a meditative state.
The whole process lasted less than three hours. With the help of the pills and Billy, Casey and the others successfully broke through a rank.
Casey reached the Third-rank realm, while Bob and the others all broke through to the First-rank Saint realm.
After that, Azure Dragon took the wheel, and Stout, after returning to the carriage, took a pill and began his meditation.
Like Casey and the others, after more than two hours, Stout successfully broke through to Half-Step Saint realm.
“Boss, from the coordinates, this should be the snow mountain!”
After resting for a while, Azure Dragon parked the car at the foot of a majestic snow mountain.
“Yes!” Billy nodded, “Let’s get off!”
After speaking, he led everyone down from the carriage.
The snow mountain was steep, with no ready-made paths. Unable to take the carriage further, they all had to walk.
“Boss, Mr Cline only knows that the Crystal Spirit Fruit is at the mountain peak, but this mountain is so huge. How do we find it?” Stout asked as they walked.
“It’s simple and yet difficult.” Casey replied.
“What do you mean?” Stout turned to ask.
“With such a large mountain, finding a small fruit will definitely not be easy. But finding a high-level Spiritual Beast will be much easier!” Casey said with a smile.
“Oh man, I forgot about that!” Stout’s eyes lit up, “The place where the seventh-tier Spiritual Beast appears must be where the Crystal Spirit Fruit is located!”
“You’re just realizing it now!” Ian chuckled.
Then, as they chatted and walked, they headed towards the summit.
With their current cultivation, climbing such a snow mountain was not very difficult, it just required some time.
“Boss, there should be fierce beasts coming our way!” About an hour into their climb, Casey spoke.
“Yes, be cautious!” Billy nodded, as he also sensed the presence of fierce beasts.
As Billy spoke, the roar of fierce beasts echoed in their ears.
At the next moment, they saw two to three dozen extreme polar snow leopards charging towards them.
“Boss, can you see what level they are?” Azure Dragon asked Billy.
“The one leading the pack is a Fourth-tier Spiritual Beast, while there are two Third-tier and three First-tier Spiritual Beasts, with the rest being high-level Demonic Beasts,” Billy replied.
“This strong?” Azure Dragon exclaimed.
“Casey, take care of those two Third-tier Spiritual Beasts!” Billy instructed.
After that, he dashed towards the Fourth-tier Spiritual Beast.
