Chapter 75: Acting thod_l

“Did you feel it?”
Inside a cafe, Yan Bingxuan withdrew the finger she had used to take Chen Mobai’s pulse. He was shivering, quickly picking up the steaming coffee on the table and downing it in one gulp.
Then he exhaled deeply.
“Is this your Ice Spirit Power?”
Chen Mobai lifted his hand, looking at the veins on his wrist that were faintly turning green. The right arm was still numb with cold. He couldn’t help but study the nearly transparent, fair-skinned beauty before him. Was she constantly circulating this Ice Spirit Power within her ridians without feeling cold?
“The ‘Frost Condensation Technique’, a Spiritual Root enhancent thod, will strengthen the ridians.”
Yan Bingxuan noticed the puzzlent in Chen Mobai’s eyes, and calmly answered his question.”Among the three essentials for Foundation Establishnt, the function of the Vein Protection Pill is to protect the ridians from being tom apart under the impact of powerful Spiritual Power. As for , I cultivate the Frost Condensation Technique to purify and transform my Spiritual Root into an Ice Spirit Root. Although it wastes many years, it allows my ridians to withstand the impact of liquefied Spiritual Power at the Foundation Establishnt level without the need for a Vein Protection Pill.”
Chen Mobai had not known this. In other words, even though the Technique for Enhancing Spiritual Roots causes a cultivator to lie low for ten to twenty years in the early stage, it also lays a solid foundation for advancing to higher realms in the future.
“Do the other Spiritual Root Techniques also have this effect?”
Yan Bingxuan nodded and shook her head.
“Most of them do. Generally, the techniques needed to transform into Different Spiritual Roots need to strengthen the ridians. The rest of the Heavenly Spiritual Roots don’t require this function much because they are single attribute roots, and the body naturally possesses the Five Elents.” “Heavenly Spiritual Roots, truly blessed!”
Chen Mobai sighed. According to the statistics of the Imperial dical Academy, as long as cultivators with Different Spiritual Roots practice corresponding Cultivation Techniques, they basically have a sure chance of achieving Foundation Establishnt. However, if they want to achieve Core Formation, it still requires opportunity and personal aptitude.
Even if those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots do nothing but sit in their cave dwelling and cultivate all day, they still have a fifty percent chance of reaching Core Formation. Combined with the assistance of Golden Elixir Spiritual dicine from the immortal world, Heavenly Spiritual Roots have a sixty to seventy percent chance of reaching Core Formation.
When it cos to the stage of Nascent Soul Formation, Heavenly Spiritual Roots are actually less advantageous than ordinary Spiritual Root Cultivators who progress step by step.
This is probably because they have it too easy in the early stages, lacking in tempering, and thus, they tend to succumb during the Heart Demon Tribulation.
“Doesn’t this an I’ll never be able to master the ‘Art of Ice’?”
If Chen Mobai were to practice this technique, he would first need to strengthen his ridians. Where would he get the ti for that!
“Let see!”
Yan Bingxuan picked up her own mobile phone, read the full text of the “Art of Ice” that Chen Mobai had sent her and seriously compared it with her own “Xuan Bing Jue”, speculating on the “Ice Breath” written in a very vague manner and explaining her understanding.
However, her ability to express in words was indeed average, and Chen Mobai did not quite understand.
“Let give you a practical demonstration.”
Yan Bingxuan saw that there was a ‘Cultivation Gym’ right across from the coffee shop and suggested going there as it was a suitable place to personally demonstrate the Art of Ice to him.
“Let’s go.”
Chen Mobai imdiately packed two cups of scorching hot latte, hoping to avoid the feeling of his arm becoming stiff from the cold when he experienced the Ice Spirit Power again.
In the Cultivation Gym, under Yan Bingxuan’s guidance, he booked a Spells Chamber for two hours. As soone who never visited such places, Chen Mobai felt it a bit pricey when he saw the bill of 138 Good Deed Points.
The Spells Chamber is a standalone room designed specifically for spell practice, with targets on all four walls and sturdy prohibitions set up, making it hard to destruct.
Yan Bingxuan walked in and adeptly put on her protective gear. She then opened a bottle of complintary mineral water provided in the room and sprayed it into the air.
Whoosh!
With a light breath from Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai standing beside her felt a chill running down his spine. He couldn’t help but circulate his Spiritual Power to warm up.
“Crack!”
At that mont, the sound of water freezing could be heard.
Under the gaze of Chen Mobai’s wide eyes, Yan Bingxuan lightly flicked her hand. The water she had thrown into the air turned into a circle of ice spikes at her breath and fell clinking around them. They perfectly ford a circle of two ters in diater with an icy landscape of ups and downs.
“You got it just by watching once?”
Chen Mobai felt disheartened. He had been practicing this Art of Ice for almost half a month now and yet had made no progress. anwhile, Yan Bingxuan, who had only seen it today and hadn’t even practiced, seemingly mastered it at once and even succeeded on the first try.
“This is not your ‘Art of Ice’, it’s the ‘Xuan Bing Jue’ that I practice, but the principle is the sa.”
Yan Bingxuan’s words made Chen Mobai feel slightly better. Otherwise, the little confidence he had built up after struggling to break through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation would have been destroyed.
“What I just perford was the Ten Changes Technique from your Art of Ice’s ‘Ice Breath’. Now I will execute it with my own Xuan Bing Jue, watch carefully.”
At this point, Yan Bingxuan again opened another bottle of mineral water over her head. As the water splattered everywhere, it was as if it was in an extrely cold cave at several tens of degrees below zero. It instantly froze into the shape of a large ice flower.
Chen Mobai reached out to touch it, but with a “Ping Pong” sound, Yan Bingxuan took a step back and the ice flower fell onto the floor, breaking into hundreds of ice pieces.
“Did you notice the difference?”
“Yes, the execution is much faster when you use the Xuan Bing Jue. The Art of Ice has an additional process of breathing out.”
Chen Mobai had been observing Yan Bingxuan’s movents with his Divine Sense all the while. Keeping his full concentration, he naturally noticed the difference in the two instances of executing the Xuan Bing Jue.
“The Xuan Bing Jue’s complentary Ten Changes Technique is to give water a thousand variations and then shape it into various forms using ice, which is the sa as the core of your Art of Ice.”
“The only difference is that I have already completed the refinent of the Ice Spirit Power inside my body. So, my Spiritual Power can shape the flowing water the mont it touches it. Your Art of Ice tries to mimic the Ice Spirit Power, but your body, Dantian, and ridians cannot withstand the coldness of the Ice Spirit Power. Therefore, you need to convert the Five Elents Spiritual Power into Ice Spirit Power at the Twelve-Fold Pavilion.”
“However, your Twelve-Fold Pavilion also cannot withstand the Ice Spirit Power. Therefore, you have to breathe out this Ice Breath at the delicate mont of becoming and not becoming. In this way, you can complete the conversion into Ice Spirit Power at the very mont you exhale. This wouldn’t harm your body and you will be able to shape water using normal Spiritual Power.”
“This technique is quite interesting. It almost exactly mirrors the intention of my transformation of Gold Water Spiritual Roots into Ice Spirit Roots. However, the creator must have only used it for magic duels, which narrows its scope.”
After Yan Bingxuan finished speaking, Chen Mobai sincerely thanked her.
Indeed, a word from a ntor is worth a month’s study.
Her practical demonstration and unreserved sharing of her understanding completely enlightened Chen Mobai, who was previously confused about the “Ice Breath”..
