According to memories from his previous life, the other party really did succeed. After his mother died, they quickly swept away all the industries of the Henry Nash branch. Because of this, his own branch lost any chance of turning things around and became more and more destitute!

"Xialuo Mountain is hard to traverse. Hopefully, they haven't gone far yet, so I can still catch up!"

Having figured out what was going on, William Nash didn't linger any longer. With a push of his foot against the ground, he unleashed his movement technique at full speed, charging straight toward Xialuo Mountain.

Although he was only at the early stage of the third level of the Qi Nurturing Realm, William Nash had countless lightness techniques in his mind. The energy in his qi sea surged endlessly, and his speed was even faster than when he left home that morning!

His steps were swift, and the speed at which his dantian in his qi sea nurtured spiritual energy also increased significantly. Rushing up the mountain, in less than an hour, William Nash felt that all the spiritual energy in his qi sea had been fully nurtured. His strength had already reached the peak of the late stage of the Qi Nurturing Realm, seemingly ready to break through at any moment!

"Why am I cultivating so fast? Could it be related to the bloodline factor activated by that nameless technique?"

Sensing the changes in his qi sea, William Nash felt a bit puzzled.

Logically, even with the bloodline factor activated and a dantian in his qi sea, it should take at least three to five months, or even half a year, to fully nurture so much spiritual energy. Yet now, in less than a day, he had already completed the process. It would be a lie to say he wasn't surprised!

However, though it was strange, he wasn't shocked.

If something like reincarnation could happen to him, then cultivating at an incredible speed wasn't impossible either!

"The area where the thousand-year-old Pengxin Snow Lotus appears is right around here. Everyone, be careful. This thing has already gained intelligence and can escape in all directions. If you spot it, act immediately—don't hesitate!"

As he moved forward, William Nash suddenly heard a voice ahead. He leapt onto a treetop and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Ahead was the group searching for the Pengxin Snow Lotus. His mother was among them, her eyes sharp as she scanned the surroundings, seemingly unwilling to miss a single corner.

As the saying goes, "A thousand years to become a spirit." A thousand-year-old Pengxin Snow Lotus already has its own will and can escape through the earth. Even if you spot it, without the right means, it's extremely difficult to catch.

"There it is!"

Just as William Nash was about to go over and persuade his mother to return home, he suddenly heard her shout and saw her dash straight ahead.

Although his mother's talent was far inferior to his father's, she was still quite capable, possessing the early stage of the fourth level of the Qi Sea Nine Heavens—True Qi Realm. Without such strength, she couldn't have maintained a branch family as a mere woman!

Whoosh!

His mother swiftly arrived at the edge of a cliff. With a flick of her wrist, a red web shot out from her sleeve.

"A Falling Robe Net? I didn't expect Mother to be such an expert at gathering herbs!"

Seeing this, William Nash was afraid of startling her and didn't step forward.

A thousand-year-old medicinal herb is hard to catch due to its intelligence and requires special methods. This Falling Robe Net is woven from blood-soaked garments from the battlefield and carries a heavy aura of death. Once a thousand-year-old herb touches it, it will be so frightened that it goes limp and can't escape!

Throwing the Falling Robe Net with such accuracy and skill, William Nash could tell at a glance that his mother must have gathered herbs before. As for when, he had never heard her mention it, and he wasn't sure himself!

"Got it!"

As the Falling Robe Net descended, his mother flicked her wrist and scooped up a pure white snow lotus.

This snow lotus emitted a chill, its entire body crystal clear like jade, slightly translucent, with a medicinal fragrance that refreshed the mind and made one feel ten years younger with a single breath.

It was indeed a thousand-year-old Pengxin Snow Lotus!

Carefully taking out a medicine box, his mother gently placed the snow lotus inside.

Once a precious herb is removed from the earth, its medicinal properties will gradually fade without special protection. His mother's medicine box was made of cold jade, which could preserve the herb's efficacy without any loss.

"No wonder she was once the number one herb-gathering master in Luoshui City. We've come here seven or eight times and never caught it, but you got it in one try! Haha, with this thousand-year-old herb, if we offer it to the clan leader, our branch will definitely become an inner branch—it's a sure thing!"

Seeing his mother catch the snow lotus, everyone gathered around, and one of them laughed loudly.

"Hmm..."

Hearing this and seeing their actions, William Nash's eyebrows shot up.

It seemed these people had planned this all along. Knowing they couldn't catch the Pengxin Snow Lotus themselves, they deliberately lured his mother into doing the hard work for them!

No wonder his mother, with her fourth-level Qi Sea Nine Heavens strength, would fall off a cliff—it was the work of the George Nash branch!

His fists clenched so tightly they cracked, veins bulging on William Nash's forehead. Since his rebirth, this was the first time his blood boiled with rage, and he wanted to kill to vent his anger!

"Your branch? Didn't we agree before we came? Whoever catches it keeps it. Are you trying to go back on your word?"

Seeing everyone crowd around, his mother took a step back. But behind her was a cliff, and as soon as she moved, she stepped on a loose stone and slipped, the sound of her fall echoing endlessly—no telling how deep it was.

"If I rush over now, and they get desperate and attack, Mother will definitely be in danger..."
