Today was destined to not be a peaceful day in Profound Ice Pavilion. The news of the ice beauty Zhao Bing`er and the new direct disciple, Lu Xuan, privately pledging to marry each other spread throughout Profound Ice Pavilion like the wind. Almost everyone knew of this news.
What made them even more excited was that in front of the Martial Skills Pavilion, the new direct disciple, Lu Xuan, actually openly provoked Eldest Senior Brother, Leng Qingqiu.
In the eyes of almost all the disciples, Lu Xuan had lost his mind and overestimated himself. After obtaining Zhao Bing`er's favor, he became unbridled and even dared to provoke Leng Qingqiu.
There were also some disciples who thought that Lu Xuan was a man enough. He clearly knew that he was not Leng Qingqiu's opponent, but he still had the guts to provoke him. As expected of the man that Zhao Bing`er fancied, he still had some guts.
When the storm outside filled the city, the people involved, Lu Xuan and Zhao Bing`er, had already returned to Yunxuan Hall. The two of them did not return to their own rooms, but went with Lu Xuan to his quiet room because Lu Xuan wanted to ask Zhao Bing`er about the cultivation method of the Ice Crystal Armor.
Since the Ice Crystal Armor was placed in the Martial Skills Pavilion, it proved that it was not a rare item. Therefore, all the direct disciples of Profound Ice Pavilion basically cultivated this set of martial skills. Although cultivating the Ice Crystal Armor required comprehension of the concept of ice, to be able to become a direct disciple, which one of them was not a talented and intelligent person? In terms of the concept of ice, they more or less had an even deeper comprehension.
"The Ice Crystal Armor is a very good defensive martial skill. It is equivalent to having an extra set of armor for no reason. Moreover, as your strength increases, the defense of the Ice Crystal Armor will also increase. The principles of the martial skill are not difficult. Presumably, you have used origin energy to condense an origin energy shield to block an enemy's attack before. It is just that the Ice Crystal Armor has utilized this point to the extreme." Zhao Bing`er sat in front of Lu Xuan and softly explained to Lu Xuan.
"What about the concept of ice? I must comprehend the concept of ice before I can cultivate this martial technique? "Lu Xuan asked.
Zhao Binger shook her head and said, "The concept of ice isn't a prerequisite for practicing the Ice Crystal Armor. It's a requirement to increase the power of the Ice Crystal Armor to the extreme. Without the concept of ice, the Ice Crystal Armor is like a hard armor. If it's too hard, it will break. Once the power it withstands surpasses what the Ice Crystal Armor can withstand, it will immediately break. However, if the Ice Crystal Armor is infused with the concept of ice, the Ice Crystal Armor will have the softness within the hardness. It will be able to connect even if a lotus is broken. Not only will its defense be greatly increased, but even if it withstands a powerful attack, it will not immediately break."
Lu Xuan nodded thoughtfully. From the looks of it, the Ice Crystal Armor was indeed similar to the Wind Riding Spell. Comprehending the state of mind was not a prerequisite for practicing the martial arts technique, but a prerequisite for fully bringing out the strength of the martial arts technique.
Since he had chosen to cultivate the Ice Crystal Armor, Lu Xuan naturally had to utilize it to its best potential. He definitely had to comprehend the concept of ice, but the time was a little tight. He only had a month's time.
"There should be a suitable place in the sect that is suitable for comprehending the concept of ice, right?" Lu Xuan asked. Profound Ice Pavilion was founded on the Profound Ice Heart Sutra, so they should have reached the pinnacle of the word "ice."
Zhao Binger nodded and said, "There is, but you don't need to go there. There is a place like that in Master's Yunxuan Hall. I'll take you there."
Under Zhao Binger's guidance, Lu Xuan quickly followed her to a sealed secret room.
"This is a man-made ice room. Through an array, you can control the environment in the secret room. In here, you can deeply comprehend the attribute of ice. You can turn water into ice and ice into water." Zhao Binger activated a mechanism, and the secret room instantly opened. Lu Xuan only felt a gust of cold air rush towards him. Caught off guard, he actually shivered and quickly circulated his spirit energy to protect his body. Only then did he get rid of the cold.
The secret room was even bigger than Lu Xuan had imagined. At first glance, it was like a real world of ice and snow. Long icicles hung on the fake mountains, and everywhere one looked, it was a vast expanse of whiteness.
Sizing up the scene in the secret room, Lu Xuan couldn't help but praise, "How extravagant! Profound Ice Pavilion is indeed rich and overbearing. Coming here, I feel like I'm in the Profound Ice Secret Realm. "
Zhao Binger smiled indifferently and said, "This place was originally built to imitate the Profound Ice Secret Realm. Moreover, to build such a secret room, the cost was not small. In the entire Profound Ice Pavilion, there is only one like this! In reality, the most suitable place to comprehend the concept of ice is the Profound Ice Secret Realm. Unfortunately, now is not the time to enter the Profound Ice Secret Realm. "
In the past, Zhao Binger still had some doubts as to why her master had so much money to build such a wonderful place. Previously, after hearing Zhao Ying's words, she found out that Cloud Lair Hall was not built by Zhao Ying herself. Instead, it was a gift from Zhao Ying's father, the previous Profound Ice Pavilion Master, to his daughter.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly. The Profound Ice Secret Realm was indeed the most suitable place to comprehend the concept of ice. That was the real world of ice and snow. Unfortunately, he did not deliberately comprehend the concept of ice in the Profound Ice Secret Realm. Now, he could only make a last-minute effort.
"Binger, I will stay here and cultivate for this period of time. I will try to comprehend the concept of ice within a month and successfully cultivate the Ice Crystal Armor."
"Cultivate in peace. If anything happens, I will come find you," Zhao Binger said. Then, she passed a jade slip to Lu Xuan. "This is the method to control the secret room. Take a look for yourself."
After she finished explaining, Zhao Binger did not disturb Lu Xuan anymore. She left alone, leaving Lu Xuan alone in the entire secret room.
After Zhao Binger left, Lu Xuan took a deep breath and dispersed his protective essence force. A bone-chilling cold instantly spread over and quickly invaded Lu Xuan's skin, flesh, and blood.
In this kind of environment, dispersing his protective essence force was like taking off all his clothes and placing him in a world of ice and snow. He had to rely on his own body's strength to resist the intense cold.
Lu Xuan sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes. He did not use his cultivation technique at all. He just endured the cold and tried to comprehend everything around him. He had the experience of comprehending the concept of wind. He knew that in order to comprehend the concept of wind, he had to understand the essence of the concept. To comprehend the concept of wind, he had to comprehend the essence of the wind. Even though it was now the concept of ice, it was still the same as before. He had to understand the essence of ice.
Whoosh!
A gust of cold wind blew past, cutting Lu Xuan's face like a knife. It was extremely painful, but Lu Xuan still endured it. He knew that this was just the beginning.
Lu Xuan closed his eyes and kept hypnotizing himself. He wanted to blend into this world, but no matter what, his heart could not calm down. He could not enter meditation because it was too cold! It was so cold that Lu Xuan could only use his mind to resist the cold and could not think of anything else.
Calm down! Calm down! Lu Xuan gritted his teeth and persevered. He had heard from Xiao Long that Kong Wenbin had sat in the Frigid Ice Cave for several months in order to comprehend the ice will. He had almost been frozen solid, and he had gone through countless trials and tribulations before he was able to comprehend the ice will. This ice chamber was even colder than the Frigid Ice Cave of the Wind Sword Sect.
Time slowly passed. Lu Xuan was like a statue, sitting motionlessly in this world of ice and snow. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
The formation in this secret room was really wonderful. It was like a world of its own. Obviously, the surroundings were airtight, but there was a constant cold wind blowing. Sometimes, there was even a light snowfall. The snowflakes that fell on Lu Xuan's body were quickly melted.
Lu Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the snowflakes that fell on his shoulder but quickly melted. He sighed. After two days of training, he could now withstand the cold in this ice room. Even if he didn't use his cultivation method, he wouldn't feel too cold. But this was only a drop in the ocean of ice. This was because he had only achieved the ice on the surface, but there was no ice in his heart. If there was ice in his heart, then the snowflakes that fell on his body would not be melted by his heat.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound. The door of the secret room was opened. Zhao Bing`er appeared in a light blue dress. Seeing Zhao Bing`er, Lu Xuan could not help but secretly exclaim. This was a real ice fairy. Standing in this world of ice and snow, she did not seem out of place at all. It was as if she was born here.
"How is it?" Zhao Bing`er found Lu Xuan sitting in the snow and asked.
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "I still haven't found the key point."
Zhao Bing`er smiled and said, "Take your time. It has only been two days. Come with me first. Master has come out and is ready to explain to us about cultivation. If there is anything you don't understand, you can take this opportunity to ask Master."
Lu Xuan nodded and stood up. The Taiyi power circulated around his body. In an instant, the cold was gone. His pale face once again showed a trace of red, and his whole body became very warm.
When Zhao Bing`er brought Lu Xuan to Zhao Ying, Du Xiaomao was already waiting there.
Seeing Lu Xuan, Du Xiaomao smiled and said, "Junior Brother Lu, you are really brave. You actually dared to take Senior Sister Bing'er to the Martial Arts Pavilion. These two days, the news has gone crazy in the Xuan Ice Pavilion."
Lu Xuan said cheekily, "This is the truth. There is no need to deny it."
Zhao Bing`er's face was slightly red. She reached out and secretly pinched Lu Xuan's waist. She still remembered Lu Xuan's misconduct that day, and Du Xiaomao happened to see it.
Lu Xuan was in pain, but he didn't dare to cry out in front of Zhao Ying and Du Xiaomao. He could only bear Zhao Bing`er's punishment in secret.
Zhao Ying smiled. She had also heard about this, and her impression of Lu Xuan became better. A man who dared to take responsibility for what he had done always made people feel better. If Lu Xuan was worried about the pressure and dared not face his relationship with Zhao Bing`er, it would make Zhao Ying look down on him. At least in this matter, Zhao Ying felt that Lu Xuan did a better job than Ye Wuheng.
