Needless to say, Nian Bing knew that Feng Nu was the one who had caused a ruckus at Clear Wind Study. Feng Nu must have fought with Xuejing because he hadn't gone to Clear Wind Study and hadn't been able to find him. Ai, he was really muddle-headed, forgetting everything as soon as he started reading.
Walking out of the library, Nian Bing's heart was burning with anxiety. He didn't know why, but at this moment, his mind was filled with Feng Nu's graceful figure. He didn't care about shocking the world as he raised his Icicle Staff and chanted, "Great Ice Goddess! Lend me your anger, and send us to the lost shore. Blizzard. " Blue light scattered from the Icicle Staff, and the surrounding air suddenly became much colder. The wind blew, and the snow fluttered. The fourth order blizzard gradually became more violent. Nian Bing's body and mind were completely immersed in the ice element. His body drifted with the snow, and in the midst of the blizzard, he flew high into the sky.
Using a snowstorm to fly a short distance, the distance one could fly depended entirely on the level of the magician. The higher the level of the magician, the further they could fly. With Nian Bing's current magic power as a Great Magician and his effective control over magic, it wasn't difficult for him to fly from the Magic Guild to the blacksmith's shop with the least amount of magic power he could muster.
From afar, Nian Bing could already see the smuggled ironware shop's courtyard. A ball of red light was twisting and turning in the courtyard, like a red flood dragon. Although he was still far away, he could faintly feel the enormous aura contained within. Nian Bing controlled the blizzard to slowly descend towards the courtyard. As the distance gradually closed, Nian Bing discovered that the person practicing the sword was Feng Nu. This was the first time he saw Feng Nu practicing martial arts. His heart stirred, and he faintly felt that the strength of Feng Nu's Dou Qi was actually not inferior to that of the Divine Weapon Master Hua Tian. The Dou Qi permeated the entire courtyard, and the dark red light brought with it scorching hot air. Although it was still twenty meters from the ground, Nian Bing could already feel the increasing heat. The snowflakes that helped him fly were melting under the heat, and he was about to lose control of his body.
After all, the blizzard had a certain influence on the weather. Feng Nu was practicing her sword when she suddenly felt the surrounding air become colder, and the air currents also became stronger. She subconsciously looked up and saw a blue figure in the sky descending towards her. She was already in a bad mood, and seeing this situation, she immediately shouted, "Who's there?" Her feet moved slightly, and she grasped the Godly Sword of Parting Heaven with both hands. She abruptly took a step forward, and with her legs on her waist, belt on her back, back on her arms, and arm on her wrists, a red flame Dou Qi rose from below as if it was splitting the heavens and earth. In the midst of a sharp whistle, the red Dou Qi was like an extension of the Godly Sword of Parting Heaven, and a red blade of light that was one meter wide slashed towards Nianbing.
Suddenly feeling the enormous pressure from below, Nian Bing couldn't help but jump in fright. With no time to explain, in such a dangerous situation, he subconsciously took out the Morning Dew Dagger from his chest. No, it should be called the Sigh of the Ice Goddess now. The cloth wrapped around the hilt of the dagger turned into ice powder under the effect of the enormous ice element, and the blue light suddenly flourished. Nian Bing didn't have time to chant an incantation. He grabbed a pile of paper from his chest and threw it into the sky. Under the effect of the Sigh of the Ice Goddess, the dozen or so papers actually strangely turned into an enormous ice net, an ice net that was interspersed with more than ten ice blades. In order to prevent the Sigh of the Ice Goddess from leaking too much of the aura of the Ice Goddess Stone, Nian Bing had no choice but to deliberately use his magic power to set up a small barrier around the Ice Goddess Stone when he used it to draw in the magic power attached to the papers. Although this could prevent the aura of the Ice Goddess Stone from leaking out, the might of the ice net was also reduced by a lot because of this.
"Explode!" The ice blades collided with the giant flaming blade one after another. With a loud bang, the giant flaming blade formed from dou qi suddenly weakened a bit under the continuous impact of the ice blades. However, the ice blades were after all only second rank ice magic. How could their might compare to the Sky Splitting Dou Qi Slash that was released with Parting Heaven Godly Sword as the foundation? Although the radiance of the dou qi had weakened a bit, it still slashed towards Nianbing.
The dozen or so ice blade spells gave Nian Bing enough time. He didn't dare to use the Sigh of the Ice Goddess anymore. He took out the Ice Goddess Stone from his chest and quickly chanted, "Oh mighty God of Fire! Please allow me to borrow your left hand to let the flames descend upon the world, extinguishing all evil forces. Let the flames illuminate the earth, destroying all obstacles that obstruct the path ahead. Fire God's Left Hand. " According to legend, the Fire God's Left Hand was the weakest part of the Fire God's body. Therefore, this fire magic that was similar to summoning fire elements was only at the fifth rank. If it was the Fire God's Right Hand, although there was only a difference of one word, the difference in level was as much as four levels. The ninth rank Fire God's Right Hand could easily destroy a large group of thousands of heavy cavalry.
A huge flaming hand suddenly appeared in front of Nian Bing at the same time the incantation ended. At the same time, the red dou qi slash had also arrived in front of Nian Bing. The huge flaming hand met the dou qi slash head-on. Although the Fire God's Left Hand was the weakest part of the Fire God, it was still a part of the Fire God. Although a fifth rank single target spell wasn't the limit of a great magician, it was still close to the limit. Although the Fire God's Left Hand was extremely powerful, it was still deflected to the side by the Fire God's Left Hand. Under Nian Bing's exquisite control, the Fire God's Left Hand opened its palm at the right time. It didn't use its magic to fight against the dou qi slash, but instead remained in front of Nian Bing.
"Feng Nu, don't do it, it's me." Nian Bing anxiously shouted. Feng Nu's dou qi slash with the Fire God's Left Hand as the foundation was too terrifying. The Fire God's Left Hand had only touched it from the side, but it had already weakened by one-third. If not for the Fire God's Stone, this fifth rank spell would have been destroyed long ago. Just as Long Ling had said, Feng Nu's strength had definitely reached the level of a pugilist. How old was she?! A pugilist was a powerful warrior on the same level as a Magic Shooter.
Feng Nu, who was below, was already regretting when she swung her sword. She was originally practicing her swordsmanship, and when she was in the mood to practice, she just happened to find an unidentified flying object falling towards her. She subconsciously slashed with her sword. Only after she swung her sword did she realize that she did not know if it was a friend or foe. However, she had already released her dou qi. Unless her martial arts had reached the level of perfection, how could she withdraw it? The change in the air made her extremely surprised. Although the dou qi had left the sword, it was still connected to her spirit. She could clearly feel that in just a few blinks of an eye, there were first dozens of ice blades in the air that blocked her attack, followed by a large flaming hand that dissolved her attack. It was obvious that the opponent was a Magician. A Magician with such fast reaction speed was definitely not simple. Even if she did not hear Nian Bing's shout, she would not have continued to attack.
Under the protection of the Vulcan's Left Hand, Nian Bing slowly descended. Due to the effect of the Stone of Fire God, using this level five magic did not bring too much of a burden to him. He landed in front of Feng Nu with a lingering fear and said with a bitter smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You don't have to welcome me like this. That could have killed me!" When he landed on the ground, the huge Vulcan's Left Hand also disappeared.
With a flash of red light, the Parting Heaven Sword returned to its scabbard. Feng Nu flashed and was already in front of Nian Bing. She looked at him carefully before she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Who asked you to suddenly fall from the sky? Fortunately, I did not hurt you. When I was practicing my swordsmanship, I was so focused that as long as there was an external stimulus, I would immediately attack. Fortunately, I did not make a big mistake. There was a door, but you insisted on coming from above. You are really too much. "
Nian Bing naturally did not blame Feng Nu. Seeing the concern in her eyes, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Feng Nu, did you go to the Clear Wind Study? "
Hearing Nian Bing mention the Clear Wind Study, Feng Nu could not help but snort and said, "Don't mention the Clear Wind Study. I went there to look for you. Originally, I was quite polite, but in the end, I met an unruly girl who said that you were dead. I got angry and fought with her. Her skills were not as good as her mouth. After that, if it was not for a middle-aged man from the Clear Wind Study who came to explain to me, I would have taught her a lesson that day. Nian Bing, where have you been these few days? I couldn't find you and you didn't come to see me. Could it be that I am so annoying? "
Nian Bing was tongue-tied by Feng Nu's question. He hurriedly said, "No, no, it is indeed my fault." Then, Nian Bing briefly told Feng Nu what happened a few days ago. He did not mention much about the banquet and only briefly talked about how he joined the Magician's Guild.
"So, you are now a member of the Ice Moon Empire's Magician's Guild, and a Great Magician. Magic is so attractive to you that you even forgot about me. " Although Feng Nu said this, there was a smile on her face. Obviously, she did not really blame Nian Bing.
Nian Bing said, "All these years, I have been practicing my culinary skills by Master's side. I have always been fumbling with my magic. This time, I finally found an opportunity, so I naturally put more effort into it."
Feng Nu seemed to have thought of something, "Oh, right, when you were blocking my attack, you seemed to have used two types of magic. The first one was weaker, but it slowed down the speed of my dou qi attack. The second one was stronger, but it diverted my dou qi attack to the side. However, what I find strange is that your two types of magic don't seem to be of the same attribute. One is of ice, the other is of fire. When I first saw you use two types of magic at the same time, I thought that your magic power was very low. Because there was no one to guide you in practicing two types of magic, your body was not affected because your magic power was not high. But now, it seems that your two types of magic have reached a level that is not weak. Could it be that you are really an ice and fire dual-element magician? These two types of magic are polar opposites! "
Nian Bing was secretly shocked. Although he had a good impression of Feng Nu, but when it concerned his own secret, he would not easily reveal it. He hurriedly explained, "I do have ice and fire attributes, so I am able to practice these two types of magic at the same time. But, just like what you think, these two types of magic counter each other, making it difficult for me to achieve a higher level. In order to not be devoured, I can only control my magic power to a certain extent. But, this is enough for me. Anyway, I am only a chef. Magic is only used to support my culinary skills. Feng Nu, I really did not expect that your martial arts skills have reached such a level. I think, you should be at the level of a Martial Fighter. "
Feng Nu's eyes flashed. Looking at the sheathed Godly Sword in her hand, she nodded her head and said, "You can say so. Nian Bing, I know that you have some doubts in your heart. You want to know how I was able to achieve such power at such a young age. But, I hope that you will not ask. You only need to know that I have no ill intentions towards you. When the Zheng Yang Saber is completed, it will also be the end of our fate. At that time, you will leave Ice Snow City. Similarly, I will also leave this smuggled ironware shop. "
Nian Bing looked at Feng Nu in shock. From the first time he had met Feng Nu, he had sensed a mysterious aura from Feng Nu. However, this aura was hidden very deeply and he did not want to delve into it. At least, he believed that Feng Nu's identity as Hua Tian's disciple could not be wrong. Otherwise, she would not have been willing to help him inlay the Divine Fire Stone. But now, it seemed that things were more complicated than he had imagined. Feng Nu definitely had a lot of secrets, especially her powerful martial arts that did not match her age. Although the number of martial artists on the mainland was not as pitiful as the number of sorcerers, there were definitely not more than a thousand of them. Every country's martial artist was someone that the royal family would try their best to rope in. For decades, although the Five Great Empires were able to coexist peacefully, the battles in the dark had never stopped. And these battles were mainly displayed on two levels. One was the competition between martial artists, and the other was naturally the competition between sorcerers. Although these were not officially organized, the continent's number one martial arts competition and the continent's number one sorcerer competition were not something that any country could belittle. As long as one achieved outstanding results in the competition, even the overall strength of the entire country would be recognized by other countries. This kind of competition that did not require a fight was obviously something that every country wanted to see. And in the records of the mainland, the youngest martial artist was above 35 years old. Feng Nu's age was about the same as Nian Bing's. If news of such a young martial artist like her were to spread out, it would set off a wave in the entire mainland.
Feng Nu was a little uncomfortable under Nian Bing's burning gaze. She lowered her head and said, "I went to look for you that day to tell you that the quality of the Zheng Yang Saber is much harder than I thought. It is definitely impossible to finish carving it in a month's time, so you will have to wait for a longer time. Conservatively speaking, it will take at least three months to carve the handle completely. You are at the Sorcerer's Guild, right? After I finish carving it, I will go there to look for you. Go back and learn your magic well. After all, having some ability to protect yourself is always good for you. Actually, with your physique, if you practice martial arts, you will have some achievements in a short period of time. Magic is an ability that cannot be compared to martial arts unless it is in a war. Just like just now, if I had attacked continuously, I am afraid you would not have been able to withstand it. Of course, this is only my suggestion. If you choose to practice magic because you want to be a good chef, then it is obviously the right choice. "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Feng Nu, it is because you practice fighting aura that you can feel the power of fighting aura. But I am different. I practice magic, and magic has its own mysteries. If my magic power can be compared to your fighting aura, I think your fighting aura will not be able to do anything to me. What a magician needs is only the time to chant the spell. Yes, I am unable to contend against your continuous attacks, but if I am a sorcerer, when I use level eight magic, the power of a martial artist will not be able to contend against it. Therefore, I have always thought that the main difference between a magician and a martial artist is the distance. When a magician and a martial artist of the same level are close in distance, the martial artist will inevitably win. But when the distance is far, the magician will have enough time to chant, then the martial artist will be in danger. Of course, the best combination is naturally the martial artist and the magician working together. The martial artist will be in front to contend against the enemy's close combatants, while the magician will be in the back to use suitable magic. This is not only a method of war, but also a method of battle. The only difference is the size of the combination. Just as you said, I am only a chef. Magic is enough for me. If I am distracted to learn martial arts, in the end, there will only be one result, and that is nothing. "
After listening to Nian Bing's words, Feng Nu's dark blue eyes revealed a trace of surprise. "I didn't expect that your understanding would be so thorough. Then I won't say anything more. It seems that you are not prepared to make something delicious for me to taste today. "At this point, the desire in Feng Nu's eyes was obvious. She could not forget Nian Bing's cooking skills.
Nian Bing helplessly spread out her hands and said, "Indeed, when I heard that you went to the Cool Breeze Restaurant to look for me, I immediately rushed over and did not prepare anything. Why don't I go buy something now?"
The Phoenix Maiden smiled and said, "There's no need, I'm just joking with you. Although the food you make is really delicious, I really don't want to eat too much. Otherwise, when we're separated in the future, how can other food satisfy me? Hurry up and go back to your Magician's Guild. Don't come back for the next few days. Do what you are supposed to do. I will try to complete the carving task in three months. When the time comes, I will naturally look for you. With the help of your fire magic, I think that embedding will not be too difficult. "
Feng Nu's understanding made Nian Bing's heart feel a trace of gratitude. When talking to her, there was no need to explain too much. The two of them often only needed to look at each other to understand what the other wanted the most at the moment. Mutual understanding would bring relaxation to the other. The feeling of relaxation increased Ling Nian Bing's impression of this mysterious Feng Nu. Since coming to Ice Snow City, Nian Bing had met four beauties. Among the four beauties, Feng Nu was definitely the first in terms of impression and position in her heart. Although she was a little mysterious, at least she did not have anything that Nian Bing was worried about. Nian Bing did not even hide the fact that she had the ability to use two types of magic at the same time. When she was with her, everything was so natural, as if she had taken off her invisible mask. This was the feeling that only family members would have.
Feng Nu did not say anything more and sent Nian Bing to the entrance of the blacksmith shop. "Okay, you can go now. This is for you. If you encounter any trouble in Ice Snow City that you can't solve, you just have to blow it and I will definitely rush over in the shortest time possible. " She took out a small flute from her bosom and handed it to Nian Bing. The flute was about three inches long and was completely dark red. There were a few holes of different sizes on it. The hollow carving seemed to be in the shape of a phoenix. The style was simple and unadorned. Just from the luster on the surface, it was enough to prove its value. What's more, it was emitting a warm aura.
"Blow it and see." Feng Nu smiled and said.
Nian Bing brought the flute to her mouth and gently blew. She could clearly feel that there was a sharp sound coming from the flute, but her ears could not feel it.
Feng Nu proudly said, "This phoenix flute is extremely precious. Keep it well. This is my family's heirloom. I only have this one. I'm not giving it to you. I'm just lending it to you temporarily. When the ZhengYang Saber is finished, you still have to return it to me. It's not that I'm stingy, but this is the only thing my mother left for me. I can't give it away casually. The sound of the phoenix flute being played can only be heard by our clan. Oh, no, only people who have undergone special training can hear it. " Speaking up to here, Feng Nu remembered her mother's dying words. Her mother told her that only when she met someone she really liked, someone she could entrust her life to, then she could give this phoenix flute away. Thinking up to here, her delicate face could not help but turn red.
The faint fragrance coming from the flute made Ling Nian Bing's heart excited, "Feng Nu, I …."
"Shh." Feng Nu put her finger on her lips, "Don't say anything. Go. We are friends. Helping each other is something we should do. Remember, we are just friends. "
Nian Bing froze for a moment. As if cold water had been poured on his face, he suddenly woke up. Looking at Feng Nu's beautiful face, she was right! They were just friends. What's more, now was not the time to pursue feelings.
Without using the blizzard again, Nian Bing walked step by step back to the Magician's Guild. When he returned to the Guild, lunch was already over. Along the way, he held the phoenix flute tightly. His heart was filled with Feng Nu's shadow. Perhaps it was because of love at first sight. Since coming to Ice Snow City, Nian Bing's mind had always been tense. Only when he was facing Feng Nu could his tense mind relax a little. When he left Ice Snow City, he might forget Xuejing, forget Luo Rou, and even forget the gentle Long Ling. However, he knew that for a long time, it would be difficult for him to forget Feng Nu. Her long pink hair, her alluring figure wrapped in blue clothes, and her eyes that were as blue as the sky, all of them were deeply imprinted in his heart. Feng Nu, oh Feng Nu, what kind of person are you? Clansmen, you once said clansmen. Could it be that you belong to a special race? His father had once told him that at the end of the war, many races had been destroyed because of the defeat. However, some of these races had been left behind and were scattered all over the place. Because humans did not look very different from each other, it was very difficult to distinguish them. Perhaps, the Phoenix Maiden was one of these Lost Clans.
"Nian Bing, you're back." A calm voice awakened Nian Bing from his thoughts. He raised his head and saw Long Zhi, who was wearing a green magician's robe, standing not far in front of him.
Nian Bing hurriedly collected his thoughts and took a few steps forward. He respectfully said, "Hello, President."
Long Zhi smiled and said, "It's a good thing that you like to cultivate, but you can't be too tired. If everyone in the Guild could be as motivated as you, I wouldn't have to worry."
Nian Bing said indifferently, "President, you're too kind. Since Nian Bing started cultivating, this is the first time I've seen so many magic books. To Nian Bing, they are the greatest treasures. How can one return empty-handed after entering a treasure trove? Just understanding these theories and knowledge will take some time. Nian Bing started late and naturally has to study harder so that her cultivation can proceed more smoothly in the future. "
Long Zhi nodded slightly and said, "When you first entered the library, I wasn't too surprised. After all, any magician will need a suitable magic incantation. What surprised me was that the magic materials on the first floor took you several days. To be able to start from the basics is enough to prove that you are a promising talent. The first three floors of the library have always been in a completely open state. Continue to study. If there's anything you don't understand, try to find me. As for the matter of the Cool Breeze Study, you don't have to worry. I have a good relationship with the master of the Cool Breeze Study. With me stepping in for you, they won't make things difficult for you. Since you're willing to cultivate, you can continue. I heard from Ling 'er that you're already preparing to enter the second floor of the library to study. I've discussed it with Ling 'er. She has been learning magic from me since she was young. Like you, she is also an ice magician. Starting from the second floor of the library, let her read the materials in the library together with you. You can also compare notes with each other. Especially in the area of magic control, you can give her more pointers. You're of the same age, so it'll be easier for you to get along. Let her comprehend on her own, it'll be better than me teaching her directly. "
Nian Bing frowned slightly. She was a dual-element magician, so the things she needed to read were not just ice magic materials. If Long Ling was by her side, it would naturally be more troublesome. However, Long Zhi was the president of the Ice Moon Empire's Magician's Guild. Since he had already said so, she couldn't refuse. Her heart moved, and she said, "President, how about this. Let big brother Shijiu study with us. It's inconvenient for a man and a woman to be alone. If we all study and discuss together, the gains should be greater. I've seen it in a book on the first level of the Basics of Magic that all types of magic are interlinked under certain circumstances. Even though Big Brother Shi Jiu is practicing Earth Magic, if we study it together, the effect should be better. "
Long Zhi's eyes revealed a trace of surprise. He was very clear about how attractive his daughter was. He arranged for Long Ling and Nian Bing to study together in the library. Naturally, he wanted to create some opportunities for Nian Bing, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to give up this opportunity. Could it be that with his daughter's talent and appearance, he wasn't the least bit attractive to him? Although he thought so in his heart, he said, "You're very thoughtful. Let's do it this way. As for other things, you don't have to worry. If you need anything, just tell the servants. I'll send food to the library every day. I hope that you can have some breakthroughs in this period of time. Nian Bing, you have to remember that magic power is the key to cultivating magic. It's also the fundamental foundation for casting higher level magic. Don't be confused by too many spells and techniques. "
Long Zhi's simple words made Ling Nian Bing feel like she was suddenly enlightened. Yes, magic power was the real key to cultivating magic. Her ice and fire magic was different from other magic. How to truly fuse these two extremes of magic power together was her biggest problem. And for this problem, she could only look for it in the library. "Thank you for your guidance, President. I'll definitely work hard in my cultivation." After bowing to Long Zhi, Nian Bing turned and walked towards the library.
Looking at Nian Bing's back, Long Zhi couldn't help but smile. When he was his age, his magic cultivation was much weaker than his. He didn't know how much more surprises he could bring him. After Shi Jiu and Long Ling came back that day, they reported to him about Nian Bing's situation. After confirming that Nian Bing had once chopped firewood at the Breeze Sect, Long Zhi's trust in him increased by a lot. At least, this proved that Nian Bing had nothing to do with the person the Ice Goddess priests were looking for. In Long Zhi's eyes, Nian Bing was a genius mage who was eager to learn and improve. For such a talent, he would naturally choose to rope her in.
Once again coming to the library, Nian Bing directly went to the second floor. The second floor recorded all kinds of knowledge of magic from the third to the sixth level, as well as more profound explanations of magic. Memorizing ice magic incantations was what he needed the most, so the first book he chose was the Encyclopedia of Intermediate Ice Magic Incantations.
Halfway through a book, Shi Jiu and Long Ling had already climbed up the stairs. Once Shi Jiu came up, he took the initiative to greet Nianbing, "Brother, we're here."
Nian Bing put down the book in her hand, smiled at the two, and said, "Brother Shi Jiu, Ling Er, you guys can start reading the magic books too."
Shi Jiu said helplessly, "I really don't know what Master is thinking, forcing us to read the books too. We've already memorized the basics of these intermediate spells. Nian Bing, do you have anything to recommend? "
Nian Bing shrugged, and said, "I've only just reached the second floor. See, I'm still reading the incantations. Since the president asked you guys to come, you guys can take a look. It'll be helpful. "
Long Ling's gentle gaze fell on Nian Bing, and said, "Have you gone to see Silence?"
Nian Bing shook her head, and said, "I don't want to see her. You know, with her temper, if she sees me, she'll just mock and ridicule me. It's better not to see her."
