This ice cave seemed to be extremely deep, and the terrain kept descending as they walked. It was obvious that it led underground.
Yuan Li was abundant here, and he could obtain valuable Primordial Stones from time to time. Lu Xuan didn't have to worry about exhaustion. As long as there weren't any powerful enemies, he could keep going.
Lu Xuan didn't know how many Mystical Ice Demons he had killed, and the strength of the Mystical Ice Demons was increasing steadily. The Mystical Ice Demons that he had encountered had reached the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm.
Of course, the rewards were also great. Other than the Ice Spirits, Lu Xuan had obtained almost fifty supreme grade Primordial Stones!
Fifty supreme grade Primordial Stones was definitely a shocking amount of wealth. In the beginning, Lu Xuan and Chen Xiaohan were excited every time they obtained a supreme grade Primordial Stone. However, they gradually became numb to it. When something precious became a number, it wasn't that precious anymore.
"I've just encountered five Mystical Ice Demons at the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm. If I go any further, I'm afraid I'll be surrounded by Mystical Ice Demons at the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm. I'm going to make a breakthrough here!" Lu Xuan stopped and said.
He didn't know how deep this ice cave was, and Lu Xuan wasn't sure if his First Layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm cultivation was enough. The safest and safest way was to make a breakthrough before moving forward.
"Mm, don't worry. I'll protect you." Chen Xiaohan nodded. Lu Xuan's strength was the most important now, and it was also the guarantee for the three of them to go deeper.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xuan brought Chen Xiaohan back a certain distance. He then sat down with his legs crossed and took out two supreme grade Primordial Stones.
The concentration of the Yuan Li here was three times that of the Mystical Ice Mystery Realm, and the Mystical Ice Mystery Realm was three times that of the outside world. In other words, the concentration of the Yuan Li here was nine times that of the outside world. It was even stronger than the Intermediate Energy Gathering Formation in the Mystic Ice Pavilion. It was definitely a great place for cultivation. Furthermore, Lu Xuan had so many supreme grade Primordial Stones to help him.
The last time Lu Xuan made a breakthrough to the first tier of the Spirit Cultivation Realm was more than half a month ago. During that time, he experienced a lot of battles, especially when he truly used the first form of the Nine Heavenly Sword Levels, Oneness of Heaven and Man. That gave him a lot of insight. He already had enough insight to make a breakthrough to the second tier of the Spirit Cultivation Realm. All he needed was a lot of accumulation.
As the Taiyi Fusion Skill was activated, the Yuan Li in the ice cave and the Yuan Li in the supreme grade Primordial Stones flowed into Lu Xuan's body continuously, filling up every meridian and acupoint.
Under the effects of the Taiyi Regression Method, the Yuanli continued to be refined and condensed into wisps of Taiyi power. Making a breakthrough to the Spirit Ascension Realm was a process of continuous purification. When Lu Xuan converted all of the Yuanli in his body into Taiyi power and further compressed it, the second tier of the Spirit Ascension Realm would be complete.
Just as Lu Xuan was cultivating in peace, a shadow walked over from the darkness in front of him.
Chen Xiaohan's heart trembled, and she did not dare to be negligent. She hurriedly put Xia Chenxi aside and quickly walked forward, staring closely at the black shadow walking over. As expected, it was a Profound Ice Demon!
At the sight of Chen Xiaohan, the Mystical Ice Demon immediately let out an unpleasant cry and hurriedly pounced over.
Fortunately, Chen Xiaohan was not a flower in a greenhouse and had never experienced battle. Not to mention that Chen Mo had intentionally nurtured her battle prowess back in the Enchantment Hall, she had also experienced a few battles in the Mystical Ice Secret Realm before she met Lu Xuan.
Chen Xiaohan did not immediately use the five star Spirit Talisman scroll that Chen Mo had given her. Instead, she took a small step back and quickly formed a rune with her hands. Her ten fingers moved so quickly that they seemed to turn into a series of afterimages. A complete rune quickly took shape!
This symbol looked extremely complicated and it even gave off a mysterious aura. With a flick of Chen Xiaohan's hands, this symbol instantly dashed forward and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, the formidable ice type Yuan Power in the surroundings quickly gathered!
The essence of a Soul Talisman Master's battle was also the Yuan Li of Heaven and Earth. However, a martial artist relied on the vital Yuan Li within their body to activate it, while a Soul Talisman Master relied on a Spirit Talisman.
"Condense!" Chen Xiaohan softly shouted. Under her control, the ice Yuan Li quickly condensed into an ice spear.
"Break!" With another soft shout, the ice spear instantly pierced forward and directly charged towards the Mystical Ice Demon.
The Spirit Talisman that Chen Xiaohan had used was called the Breaking Ice Talisman. It was a four star Spirit Talisman recorded in the ancient Spirit Talisman Technique. Its power was much stronger than an ordinary four star Spirit Talisman and was comparable to a half step five star Spirit Talisman.
Although Lu Xuan had been leading her during this period of time, she had not slacked off. She had been constantly using the tempering spirit technique to strengthen her soul, while at the same time continuously comprehending some of the powerful Spirit Talismans recorded in the ancient Spirit Talisman Technique.
Because the current Chen Xiaohan's soul power was far stronger than an ordinary four star Soul Talisman Master, she could even barely inscribe some five star Spirit Talismans. However, the success rate was not high and the speed was too slow. It was not suitable for fighting against enemies. On the contrary, four star Spirit Talismans were more convenient to use. Moreover, the power of the Spirit Talismans recorded in the ancient Spirit Talisman Technique was generally higher than the Spirit Talismans that were currently circulating.
If Chen Xiaohan's soul power was a little stronger, she could completely imprint this Breaking Ice Talisman into her soul. Then, she would not need to inscribe it when fighting against an enemy. She would only need to use her soul power to instantly release it.
Once it saw Chen Xiaohan's attack, the Mystical Ice Demon immediately stopped moving. It also used ice Yuan Li to condense an ice shield in front of it.
However, the power of Chen Xiaohan's attack far exceeded the Mystical Ice Demon's expectations. That seemingly sturdy ice shield was directly smashed by Chen Xiaohan's ice spear. The ice spear shot straight towards its head. Chen Xiaohan had long known that the Mystical Ice Demon's weak point was its head.
"Chi!"
The ice spear pierced through the Mystical Ice Demon's head without holding back, directly killing it!
A Mystical Ice Demon with the strength of a fourth-tier Spirit Refinement cultivator was actually killed by Chen Xiaohan so easily. Talisman Masters of the same tier had a higher attack power than martial artists. Moreover, Chen Xiaohan had used the runes of an ancient talisman technique.
Seeing the Mystical Ice Demon's body disappear, leaving behind only a piece of ice soul, Chen Xiaohan could not help but reveal a trace of joy on her face. She had just wanted to test if she could defeat this Mystical Ice Demon with her current strength. She did not think that she would actually be able to kill it.
"This tempering soul technique and ancient talisman technique are indeed worthy of their reputation. A four-star talisman can actually kill a fourth-tier Spirit Refinement cultivator!" Chen Xiaohan exclaimed happily. With her strength as a four-star talisman master, she could normally only defeat an early-stage Spirit Refinement cultivator. A fourth-tier Spirit Refinement cultivator was equivalent to a mid-stage Spirit Refinement cultivator.
"I am not a burden. I can also protect you." Chen Xiaohan proudly looked back at Lu Xuan, who was cultivating. She clearly enjoyed this feeling. She did not want to be protected by Lu Xuan all the time.
In reality, Lu Xuan had sensed everything that Chen Xiaohan was doing. Although he was cultivating, he did not dare to let his guard down. However, seeing that Chen Xiaohan was able to defeat the Mysterious Ice Demon, who was at the fourth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm, Lu Xuan felt a little relieved. It seemed that giving the Soul Forging Method and the Ancient Talisman Technique to Chen Xiaohan was the right choice. As long as Chen Xiaohan had sufficient strength, he would feel more at ease.
Maintaining a trace of perception to understand the situation in the outside world, Lu Xuan calmed his heart and continued to condense his natal inner force.
If a martial artist wanted to break through to the Spirit Refinement realm, they had to convert all the inner force in their body into natal inner force and then compress it before they could successfully break through.
But Lu Xuan had broken through many acupoints in his body. It was not easy to fill them with natal inner force.
Now, he finally understood the difficulty of cultivating both Refined Body and Refined Spirit. Refined Body required one to continuously break through acupoints, while Refined Spirit required one to convert all the Origin Energy within one's acupoints into Life Origin Energy. In this way, the more acupoints a martial artist broke through, the more difficult it would be for them to break through. Indeed, only those with outstanding talent and rich resources would be able to cultivate both.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan had a lot of resources now. Not to mention the high concentration of the surrounding yuan qi, just the fifty top-grade Primordial Stones he had obtained were enough to support his breakthrough.
Piece after piece of top-grade Primordial Stones were consumed. The Taiyi energy in Lu Xuan's body began to increase. The last time he broke through to the Spirit Refinement realm, Lu Xuan had consumed a total of three top-grade Primordial Stones. And this time, Lu Xuan's consumption was almost ten times that of the previous breakthrough!
However, this was also because Lu Xuan had not accumulated much of his Natal Inner Force on a regular basis. At this moment, he needed to fill his Natal Inner Force to the brim in one go. For ordinary warriors, they would train slowly on their own and condense their Natal Inner Force bit by bit. They would only use precious materials such as top-grade Natal Stones to stimulate and compress their Natal Inner Force at the final juncture of a breakthrough.
But now Lu Xuan naturally did not have so much time to waste. It was better to use top-grade Primordial Stones directly. Although it was a bit of a waste, he did not care. As long as he continued to advance, he would definitely be able to obtain more top-grade Primordial Stones!
While Lu Xuan was constantly accumulating energy, the Mystical Ice Demon would also appear from time to time. Fortunately, Chen Xiaohan was here and could deal with it. As long as there was no Mystical Ice Demon at the Fifth Spirit Refinement realm, there would be no danger.
Chen Xiaohan, who was calmly staring ahead and guarding against the next Mystical Ice Demon, suddenly felt Lu Xuan's momentum behind her suddenly increase!
And at this moment, Lu Xuan had already consumed more than thirty top-grade Primordial Stones. His breakthrough was simply burning money!
But with such a huge consumption, the effect was also outstanding. In just a short period of time, Lu Xuan had completely transformed the yuan qi in his body into Taiyi energy. Now his strength was already at the peak of the First Spirit Refinement realm. One more step and he would be at the Second Spirit Refinement realm!
Enduring the swelling pain in his meridians and acupoints, Lu Xuan continued to absorb the yuan qi. In less than a quarter of an hour, the Taiyi energy in the Guanyuan acupoint was the first to change. The Taiyi energy, which was already full to the limit, slowly began to fuse under the constant pressure. At first, only a drop of Taiyi energy fused, but soon, all the Taiyi energy began to fuse.
The color of the power of Taiyi began to darken. When the first drop of power of Taiyi began to merge with Lu Xuan, it meant that he had made a breakthrough into the second tier of Spirit Ascension. What came next was a new wave of accumulation.
