For three consecutive days, Chu Mu would enter the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley for two hours every day. He would consume a flawless Ice Spirit Pill, but he didn't find any Earth Core Desolate Fire Aura. Instead, he found an Earth Fire Desolate Lotus.
The Earth Fire Desolate Lotus was one of the main ingredients for refining certain Mortal Level Pills. It was relatively rare and expensive. If he brought it back to the Outer Palace, he should be able to exchange it for a lot of Contribution Points.
As for the Earth Core Desolate Flame, more than half of the God Condensation Realm swordsmen had died, but they could not do anything to it. On the second day, a True Palace disciple came to the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley and attacked the Earth Core Desolate Flame.
The True Palace disciple was a Sword Dao expert at the level of the Sword Of Gojoseon. His strength was terrifying. Once he attacked, the Earth Core Desolate Flame had the geographical advantage. It hid under the magma pool and could attack or defend.
In the end, the True Palace disciple heavily injured the Earth Core Desolate Flame, but he was unharmed. After the Earth Core Desolate Flame was heavily injured, it disappeared into the magma pool. The True Palace disciple waited for a day, but there was no movement, so he gave up.
The injured Earth Core Desolate Flame did not seem to be spitting out Earth Core Fire Qi anymore. As a result, the number of people entering the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley decreased greatly, causing the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley to be empty for a while.
In these few days, Chu Mu did not return to the Desolate Sky God Mountain. Instead, he temporarily settled down in a city near the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley.
Every day, other than the two hours he spent in the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley, he would spend the rest of the time in the Volcano City. When he was not cultivating, he would walk around the streets of the Volcano City.
"Ancestral Martial Art, Ice Attribute Martial Art. The best martial art to enter the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley."
When he passed by, Chu Mu saw a sign on a stall with these words written on it.
Indeed, Ice Attribute Martial Arts could lower the temperature once it was used. If it was used with Ice Spirit Pills, the effect would be very obvious in a place like the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley.
But the problem was that every swordsman could only cultivate one martial art. Otherwise, it could cause conflicts between martial arts and damage to their meridians. The consequences would be severe.
Chu Mu had already cultivated the Heavenly Desolate Sword Mantra, so it was impossible for him to switch to other techniques.
"Those who are passing by, come and take a look. This is a divine ice technique passed down from my ancestors. It can be cultivated together with other techniques." The stall owner was a middle-aged man. When he saw someone passing by, he shouted.
Chu Mu had just walked past when he suddenly stopped. He took two steps back and stood in front of the stall.
"Why can this cultivation technique of yours be cultivated with other cultivation techniques?" Chu Mu asked.
"This is my ancestral Ice Divine Skill. It's a supplementary skill. It can be attached to other cultivation skills. Therefore, it can be cultivated at the same time." The middle-aged man enthusiastically introduced.
"Can I take a look?" Chu Mu asked.
"Of course, but you can only watch the first part." The middle-aged man was very familiar with this. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Chu Mu. On it was the first paragraph of the Ice Attribute Cultivation Method.
Chu Mu took it and read it carefully. He memorized it in his mind and started to simulate it.
It was only a short paragraph, but he could already tell that this cultivation technique was not bad. After simulating it in his mind, Chu Mu realized that this cultivation technique seemed to be a little difficult to cultivate.
"How much is it?" Chu Mu returned the paper to the stall owner and asked casually.
"You have good taste. My Ice Divine Skill is definitely worth the price. It's not expensive." The stall owner revealed his yellow teeth and opened his palm. He said to Chu Mu, "Only 10,000 upper grade desolate stones, and the cultivation technique is yours."
Chu Mu heard this and laughed lightly. He shook his head and turned to leave.
"Hey hey … wait, if you think it's expensive, we can discuss. How much do you think is suitable?" The stall owner quickly stopped Chu Mu. He had been running the stall for a few days, but there had been no business.
"Have you cultivated this cultivation technique before?" Chu Mu did not mention the price. Instead, he asked. Immediately, without waiting for the stall owner to answer, he said again, "You should have cultivated it before, but you realized that this cultivation technique is impossible to cultivate, right?"
A flash of panic flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. Indeed, this cultivation technique was not an ancestral cultivation technique. He had obtained it by accident. After he obtained it, he tried to cultivate it, but he realized that he could not cultivate it. The reason was simple. In theory, this cultivation technique could be attached to other cultivation techniques. However, it was too difficult to practice it.
It was also because of this that he took this technique out to sell. He wanted to see if he could swindle people and make a huge profit. Unexpectedly, the person who inquired before was shocked by the high price and left without looking back. However, Chu Mu saw through the mystery with a single sentence.
"A cultivation technique that cannot be cultivated, but you want to sell it for 10,000 upper grade desolate stones …" Chu Mu's eyes became sharp.
"No, it's not that it cannot be cultivated. It's just that the difficulty is high. This also shows how profound this cultivation technique is." The stall owner explained.
"100 upper grade desolate stones, I'll buy it." Chu Mu said directly.
"100 is too little …" The stall owner said. Chu Mu shook his head and was about to turn around again.
"Wait, 1000 upper grade desolate stones." The stall owner quickly said.
"I'm afraid this cultivation technique is not an ancestral cultivation technique. Even if you continue to run the stall, no one will buy it. If someone buys it and realizes that they cannot cultivate it, it means that they have been cheated. Most likely, they will find trouble with you. If it is a disciple of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace, do you think it will be troublesome?" Chu Mu said quickly.
The stall owner thought about it and his expression changed. He realized that Chu Mu's words made sense.
"How about this, I'll take a loss. 200 upper grade desolate stones. It's up to you whether you want to sell it or not. I just saw that this cultivation technique is special and wanted to study it." Chu Mu said.
"300 upper grade desolate stones." The stall owner said firmly.
300 upper grade desolate stones were equivalent to 30,000 middle grade desolate stones. Chu Mu still had that much.
Hence, he used 30,000 middle grade desolate stones to purchase this seemingly impossible ice elemental cultivation technique.
After returning to the inn, he took out the cultivation technique and read it carefully.
This ice elemental cultivation technique was called the Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique. It was an auxiliary cultivation technique that did not have a grade.
Having cultivated to this point, Chu Mu also knew that when a swordsman cultivated techniques, there were main techniques and support techniques. However, support techniques were often extremely rare and rarely known. Moreover, the training difficulty was very high.
Auxiliary cultivation techniques did not have a grade and their power was not very strong. However, if they were combined with the main cultivation technique, they would often have a miraculous effect.
After reading the entire manual, Chu Mu confirmed his guess. The reason why this auxiliary cultivation technique could not be cultivated was because of the lack of control.
To combine the auxiliary cultivation technique with the main cultivation technique, one had to have strong control, which came from a strong mental strength.
Most swordsmen's mental strength was not strong enough and could not achieve it. Naturally, they could not cultivate it.
The Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique did not have a grade. There were only small success and Dacheng. After cultivating it, one would have the various effects of the Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique. Hence, it was very difficult to cultivate.
After a round of comprehension, Chu Mu fully comprehended the mysteries of the techniques and began to cultivate.
He had a superhuman mental strength. It was very pure and very active. Under all the conditions, it could turn the impossible into possible.
To cultivate the Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique, one had to first absorb a strand of ice energy into one's meridians. Then, the ice energy would circulate along with the sword Qi and gradually become a part of the sword Qi. Then, it would merge into one and could be separated at will. This was equivalent to cultivating the Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique.
As the Volcanic Mountain City was close to the Earth Core Fire Valley, the temperature was greatly affected. The temperature was generally high and one could not feel the cold aura.
With a flash of inspiration, Chu Mu took out a normal quality Ice Soul Pill and consumed it. Immediately, the cold aura swept through his body. Then, Chu Mu operated the Sky Desolation Sword Qi and followed the Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique to absorb the cold aura, condense it, and attach it.
This was a very difficult process. It required a lot of patience and perseverance.
The Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique did not have a fixed route. The Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique followed the route of the technique it was attached to.
Two hours passed. Chu Mu carried out many attempts to condense the cold aura. He failed again and again until the effect of the normal Ice Soul Pill passed.
Although he failed again and again, Chu Mu also found some key points.
After a short rest, he took another Ice Soul Pill and began cultivating again.
When his mental strength was exhausted, Chu Mu recovered. After recovering, he continued to take another Ice Soul Pill to cultivate.
A day passed and he still did not succeed. Chu Mu did not know how many times he had tried. Perhaps it was thousands.
After resting, he took another Ice Soul Pill and continued to condense the cold aura.
Another day passed. Every time he was about to condense the cold aura, he failed. Chu Mu was not discouraged. On the third day, he continued to condense the cold aura.
If it was someone else, they would have given up after failing for tens of thousands of times. However, Chu Mu still persisted. He had found the key point, the real key point.
On the third day, he cultivated the Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique. After two hours, he still failed. Chu Mu revealed a smile.
This time, he rested for a full six hours. His fatigue was gone. He took out a normal quality Ice Soul Pill and consumed it. The familiar cold aura once again enveloped his body. Chu Mu's mental strength moved. He focused and captured a wisp of cold aura and began to control and condense it.
Over ten thousand failures had been exchanged for incomparable familiarity. Easily, Chu Mu captured strand after strand of icy aura, fused them together and condensed them.
This time, Chu Mu was one hundred percent sure that he would succeed.
Under his efforts, a wisp of white aura was constantly being compressed and condensed in his body. In the end, it was thinner than a strand of hair.
Looking at the cold aura, Chu Mu's face was filled with joy.
Finally, he had condensed the first wisp of the Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique. Of course, this did not mean that Chu Mu had mastered the Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique. It was just a beginning, a good beginning.
With the first wisp of Ice Soul Force, there would be a second and third wisp until he mastered the Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique.
In a spurt of energy, Chu Mu continued to condense the Ice Soul Force. When the effects of the Ice Soul Pill passed, he took out another pill and continued to condense.
Without the help of the Ice Soul Pill, he did not know when he would be able to condense the first wisp of Ice Soul Force.
In the following days, Chu Mu wholeheartedly cultivated the Ice Soul Cold Frost Technique.
