NOVPUB"Senior, since we can’t linger here for long, why not seize more Spiritual Energy to cultivate upon return?"
The female Cultivator did not show any displeasure from Wang Ba’s questioning, and indifferently said:
"The Ice Spiritual Energy here is not stable. Only in this special environment can it be maintained. Apart from some spirit items, once it is removed from here, it quickly turns into ordinary Spiritual Energy and cannot be preserved. You’d better hurry."
Wang Ba realized, but then he felt a slight stir in his heart. He didn’t dare to hesitate and hurriedly said to the female Cultivator:
"Senior, is it possible to go down a bit further?"
Upon hearing this, the female Cultivator glanced at him and said in a calm tone:
"Be quick!"
She didn’t ask why, nor how long it would take.
Without further ado, she once again shielded the two of them and rapidly descended deeper.
This time, the bone-piercing cold froze the Blood Energy on Wang Ba’s body!
Only the remaining Mysterious Dragon Soldiers mana barely sustained the slow rotation of the Golden Core.
And they had only descended less than a hundred feet.
The Ice Spiritual Energy around them suddenly climbed again, and was faintly approaching a Class V stage.
"Is it possible?"
The female Cultivator uttered just two words.
Wang Ba clenched his teeth slightly:
"Continue!"
This was actually the most difficult time for him to endure.
The female Cultivator naturally had profound cultivation in the Ice Dao.
And the Ice Daoist, having formed from an Alien Beast of this abyss, had an astonishing tolerance to cold. Though having low Cultivation Base, it hardly affected him.
Only he, merely a Golden Core Craftsman, was gradually struggling to hold on even with the female Cultivator’s protection.
However, the female Cultivator, upon hearing him, still had no doubts and immediately took Wang Ba and the Ice Daoist down another fifty or so feet.
This time, the class of the Spiritual Energy underwent an earth-shattering change!
"So pure!"
Wang Ba, feeling the Class V stage Ice Spiritual Energy around him, his eyes sparkled.
"Right here!"
The female Cultivator immediately stopped.
Without any hesitation, Wang Ba immediately reached into his sleeve and took out a porcelain bottle.
He crushed it directly.
The next moment, an Elixir flew out from the bottle!
It was the treasure-pill gifted to him by Xi Kui, the Master of the Earth Palace, when he had just become the Earth Material Hall Master:
The Taixu Qi Pill!
Although it did not contain Spiritual Energy itself, once refined, it could temporarily merge with the power of heaven and earth, seizing as much as possible!
It was perfectly suited for this moment and place.
Guided by Wang Ba, the Elixir immediately flew into the arms of the Ice Daoist.
The Ice Daoist almost instantaneously refined the pill.
The next moment.
The body of the Ice Daoist jerked once.
Then it seemed as if he had merged into the Ice Abyss itself.
Soon, Wang Ba found that the surrounding Ice Spiritual Energy was suddenly rushing towards the Ice Daoist!
The female Cultivator’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Her white clothes fluttered.
The Ice Dao aura she had accumulated for over two thousand years finally stopped hiding and spread out to the surroundings.
Deterring the hidden creatures nearby.
At this moment, however, Wang Ba was looking at the Ice Daoist with surprise and joy.
Under the infusion of this Class V stage Ice Spiritual Energy.
In just the blink of an eye, a wave characteristic of a Qi Refining Practitioner arose from the Ice Daoist.
Although he was born at Foundation Establishment, if he was to practice this cultivation method, he naturally needed to start from scratch.
Thanks to Wang Ba’s previous substantial accumulation and his understanding of the "Ice-Soul God Shedding Charm".
The Ice Daoist, inheriting these insights, successively experienced breakthroughs.
Qi Refining Stage I, Qi Refining Stage II… Tenth layer peak.
Below, something seemed to have sensed the commotion here.
From the darkness, an even more sinister and large shadow slowly approached.
The female Cultivator seemed to have noticed the danger from below, and after glancing at the Ice Daoist’s peak Qi Refining aura, she suddenly said:
"Let’s go."
With that, she prepared to take Wang Ba and the Ice Daoist to leave.
However, the next moment, she paused slightly.
She couldn’t help looking at the Ice Daoist again.
After a brief pause at the peak of Qi Refining Stage X, the Ice Daoist’s aura suddenly surged with a breakthrough.
"Foundation Establishment?"
The female Cultivator’s tone was indifferent, but she frowned for the first time.
Her gaze swept over the shadow that was getting increasingly closer from below.
She flicked her fingertips.
Immediately, several ice needles pierced into the darkness filled with howling below.
In the Ice Abyss, several pained roars sounded at once.
But rather than retreating, the shadow drew even closer.
The female Cultivator’s eyes narrowed slightly.
She was not afraid.
But she had to protect Wang Ba and the Ice Daoist while dealing with the creatures of the Ice Abyss, which made it difficult to manage both.
Seeing that there might still be room for the Ice Daoist’s advancement.
She quickly weighed her options and, at last, she made the most rational decision.
"Let’s go!"
She said it once more.
Mana swiftly wrapped around Wang Ba and the Ice Daoist.
Just as she was about to leave this place, in a flash.
The aura of a breakthrough rose again from the Ice Daoist.
"Middle-stage?"
The female Cultivator couldn’t help but take another look at the Ice Daoist.
She then glanced at Wang Ba again.
The process of cultivating through an Incarnation was not much different from cultivating the main body.
Both required step-by-step arduous Cultivation.
In fact, many Incarnations cultivated even slower than the main body.
But the speed of the Ice Daoist’s Cultivation was completely beyond her expectation.
It was as though he was a Cultivator who had practiced the Ice Dao for many years, lost his Cultivation Base, and had to re-cultivate from scratch.
With hardly any bottlenecks or barriers.
Naturally, this was not something that a newly born Incarnation could achieve.
It could only be because the main body had profound understanding of the Ice Dao, and the surrounding environment was extremely rich, that he could achieve such a feat.
"To directly reach middle-stage Foundation Establishment on the first attempt at cultivation… It seems he has completely mastered the cultivation method."
