Just a few years ago, Deng Bagu, following the instructions of Shi Feiyang, transported water from the South Sea to the Tarim Basin to induce rain.
This process, while simple in description, was actually quite complex since the two locations were far apart, separated by countless high mountains and glaciers, and subject to complicated climate changes. It not only required the expenditure of a great deal of mana, but also the water vapor often evaporated midway or prematurely turned into rain or hail and fell to the ground.
Deng Bagu's Daoist power was not as strong as Shi Feiyang's; she could not do it with her own effort alone and needed to use a Magical Treasure, the Snow Soul Pearl, to accomplish the task.
Ji Fan, who often cultivated in the Qilian Mountain and occasionally visited Heaven Mountain to gather millennium Snow Lotus, saw the Snow Soul Pearl—crafted from million-year-old ice and snow essence—and was instantly covetous!
