Usually, only a few disciples had been to the second level of the Ice Soul Cave. This was also recorded in the records of the Ice Soul Cave.
If a Qi Refinement cultivator wanted to go to the third level, the sect would not object in principle, but the consequences were their own responsibility.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators did not need to come to the Ice Soul Cave to cultivate.
Chiyang School's best place for Foundation Establishment cultivators to cultivate was the cave near the lava cave in the back mountain.
There was a lava cave that led directly to the underground, and there was an underground lava river inside. Many Jin Dan disciples also chose to cultivate there.
After all, Chiyang School had many fire-attribute cultivation techniques, and cultivating there was faster.
Over time, the Ice Soul Cave was classified as a Qi Refinement cultivation ground.
After understanding the situation, Yi Tian secretly decided that he had to go down and take a look. Even if he could not reach the third level, he had to at least explore the second level.
After leading Wu Xing and Tang Lin to the entrance of the second level, Yi Tian found a place to sit down.
With the two of them covering for him, it would not be too obvious when he sneaked down.
As soon as Wu Xing sat down, he took out the pill furnace to warm himself up. After all, his Qi Refinement stage five cultivation was very weak.
Moreover, he had given himself a lot of pills, and every time he helped others refine pills, he would take a little.
Over time, he was not very enthusiastic about cultivating, and most of his cultivation was raised by taking pills.
Tang Lin looked at Wu Xing with envy. He was already an outer sect disciple, and he was only here to put on an act.
She had to pass this level properly, or else her future would not be good.
Yi Tian saw this and a harmless smile appeared on his face.
Who asked you to be so arrogant after taking pills? Instead of cultivating properly, you dropped the ball at the crucial moment.
After reaching the first level of the Ice Soul Cave, he did not feel anything.
It was probably because the sun had not set yet, and the cold air on the second level had not reached him.
Yi Tian took this opportunity to warm up and prepare for the cave exploration at night.
Yi Tian stood there alone, stretching, bending his legs, and warming up his wrists.
Then, he looked around and saw that everyone had already sat down cross-legged. Most of them were resting with their eyes closed.
Some people made eye contact with the person next to them and stopped wasting their energy. They began to circulate their internal energy to resist the cold.
However, not everyone was sitting cross-legged. Yi Tian saw a fat figure standing there doing warm-up exercises like him.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be that fat servant disciple. No wonder this person didn't group up with the other servant disciples.
He had snatched an empty space by himself and was practicing his fist techniques. It seemed that he was also a martial artist before he became a cultivator.
When he saw Yi Tian standing there, he politely greeted him. Perhaps it was because he saw that Yi Tian was wearing outer sect robes and was not here to participate in the trial.
Yi Tian saw that he had finished his exercise and waved him over.
In any case, the two people beside him were meditating, and there was no one to talk to. This fatty seemed to be quite interesting, so it wouldn't be bad for him to have a chat and understand more about the situation.
Also, Yi Tian felt that Wu Xing and Tang Lin weren't strong enough. If he sneaked down and was discovered, these two people wouldn't be able to control the situation.
On the contrary, this fatty looked quite domineering. That group of servant disciples didn't dare to provoke him, so there must be something extraordinary about him.
Yi Tian knew that he had just left the Little White Realm in the Cultivation World, but in the mortal world, he still had the vision to judge people.
The more arrogant and unruly a person was, the more capable they were. Moreover, most people were afraid of people who were generally more domineering.
The most important thing was that this person was big. If he sat there, his whole body could cover the door to the second floor. How could he let such a person go?
After the fatty came over, Yi Tian called Wu Xing and Tang Lin and the two of them ran to the second floor's passage.
The four of them sat down in a circle. After placing Wu Xing's pill furnace in the middle, they began to warm it by the fire.
About four hours later, the temperature in the cave began to gradually drop. Yi Tian calculated that the sun should have set and the cave was getting cold.
Then, he took out the bull meat from his storage bag and placed it on the pill furnace to roast it. It was as if he was eating a barbecue.
Wu Xing and Tang Lin looked at the meat that Yi Tian was roasting and almost drooled.
The fatty on the opposite side also gulped a few times. Although Yi Tian allowed him to come here and warm himself by the fire, he didn't dare to do so.
However, the fatty didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes. After all, his status as a servant disciple was incomparable.
After the meat was roasted until it was golden and fragrant, Yi Tian took out seasonings from his storage bag.
After sprinkling salt and pepper, the meat looked even more tempting.
After dividing the meat into four portions, Yi Tian tossed a piece to each of the three people. Wu Xing and Tang Lin couldn't wait to grab it and stuff it into their mouths.
It was always better to have something to eat. Moreover, the spirit energy in the bull meat could replenish their consumption.
The fatty hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Tang Lin also wanted to eat, he didn't hold back and took the meat and chewed it.
The people around them pretended not to see. The servant disciples didn't dare to look at the fatty. They had probably communicated with him many times in private and should know how powerful the fatty was.
After eating, Yi Tian began to talk with the fatty. It turned out that he was called Shi Cheng. He was one of the people who participated in the Ice Soul Cave trial five years ago and was eliminated.
At that time, he was only in the fourth layer and wanted to try his luck at Chiyang School. In the end, he couldn't endure and crushed his jade token halfway and was carried out.
Since then, Chiyang School's second trial had a rule that only those in the fifth layer could enter. Those in the fourth layer had to sign a life and death contract. If they died inside, the sect wouldn't care.
Shi Cheng cultivated in Chiyang School for three years before reaching the fifth layer. Last year, he was injured in a group fight and missed the trial. He could only delay the trial until this year.
He pointed at the servant disciples. Yi Tian meant that they didn't like him.
Shi Cheng explained that there were too many new trial disciples this year. The servant disciples were only allocated ten spots.
Therefore, there was a preliminary selection. Shi Cheng then embroidered his arm.
Yi Tian understood. The preliminary selection was probably a group fight. Last year, you lost. You said it was an accident. In fact, you didn't win.
This year, all the strong disciples left. The remaining disciples were no match for him. The nine servant disciples probably suffered a lot in his hands. No wonder they hid far away when they saw him.
After chatting, Shi Cheng indicated that he was starting to feel tired and needed to start circulating his energy to resist the cold.
Yi Tian didn't want to disturb him, so he just let him be. The four of them sat in front of the pill furnace for four hours. The surrounding environment began to get colder and colder.
Yi Tian saw a disciple crush the jade token and fall down. After a while, two outer sect disciples came down and carried him away. It seemed that the trial had begun to enter the elimination round.
Wu Xing and Tang Lin, who were sitting next to him, were covered with a thin layer of frost. Their teeth were still chattering.
Shi Cheng, who was sitting opposite of them, was still fine. His breathing was long and steady. It was obvious that he had practiced with real swords and spears.
Although Yi Tian felt a little cold, it was not to the extent that he needed to sit down and circulate his energy to resist the cold.
At this time, everyone's attention was on him. They had no time to spare for the surrounding environment.
Yi Tian first took out a bottle of Grand Passion Wine from his storage bag. He held it in his right hand and handed it to Wu Xing.
Wu Xing saw this and was overjoyed. He nodded repeatedly. After drinking a mouthful, he returned it to Yi Tian. Then he pretended that nothing happened and continued to meditate.
After Tang Lin saw this, he looked at Yi Tian with a resentful expression. Then he saw Yi Tian hand the bottle back to him.
He took the bottle and drank two mouthfuls before returning it. He even endured Yi Tian's kick. After that, he entered a meditative state and did not care about anything else.
After a while, Yi Tian threw the bottle to Shi Cheng. Shi Cheng was not polite. He took it and drank it. After drinking it, he pretended to be stupid.
In any case, Yi Tian felt that the chubby people were more sensitive. They had seen Wu Xing and Tang Lin's actions.
At this time, what was there to not understand? It was cheating.
Seeing that the three of them had recovered, Yi Tian pointed to the entrance of the second floor. He meant that he would go down and they would cover him.
The three of them understood and sat in a row. They let Shi Cheng block the middle. Wu Xing and Tang Lin covered the entrance to the second floor.
Yi Tian took the opportunity to roll and rushed into the entrance of the second floor.
The cold air in the first floor of the Ice Soul Cave came from the entrance of the second floor. The people who came here for the trial were eager to stay away.
They were not like the four people who were sitting at the entrance and eating barbecue. They were really crazy.
After entering the second floor, Yi Tian clearly felt the cold air blowing against his face. Frost crystals began to form on his skin.
He did not dare to be careless. He quickly opened the defensive barrier before daring to go down.
By the time he reached the second floor, his clothes were already soaked. The heat in his body and the cold air in the cave had converged and turned into water.
A red spirit qi came out from his dantian, turning the original green defensive barrier red.
It was actually the conversion of wood and fire spirit qi. However, the further he went, the more difficult it was.
The second floor was very small. It was only about one-tenth of the first floor. Yi Tian saw the entrance to the third floor and slowly walked over.
When he reached the entrance of the passage, he felt that the cold air below was even more piercing. Thus, he used all his strength to withstand the cold wind.
However, he estimated that he would not be able to reach the third floor. He would have to reach the high level of Qi Refinement.
After staying on the second floor for a while, Yi Tian felt that the spirit qi in his body was not flowing smoothly. It should be because his cultivation method was restrained.
However, when he sat down and cultivated, he felt that his cultivation had improved. This was a good thing.
Thus, Yi Tian did not hold back. He took out a bottle of wine and drank it in one gulp. Then, he directly cultivated.
Cultivating here for half a day was probably equivalent to cultivating outside for a year. Moreover, the spirit qi in his body was even purer.
He could see that the fire spirit qi turned from red to dark red. When he cultivated the wood spirit qi, the emerald spirit qi turned green.
This was a sign that he was about to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refinement. Yi Tian seized the opportunity and continued to cultivate. Finally, he reached the sixth level after four hours.
Now, Yi Tian could already sprint to the high level of Qi Refinement.
However, the idea was very simple. He could not cultivate like Wu Xing and Tang Lin by taking pills. That way, his spirit qi would not be pure enough. If he encountered a strong opponent, he would only be slaughtered.
He tried to walk on the second floor. It was much better than before. At least he did not have to use all his strength to open the defensive cover.
Although he could not go down to the third floor, as long as Yi Tian reached the eighth level in two years, he could go down to explore.
After cultivating, Yi Tian returned to the first floor. Seeing that the three people were still covering for him, he was also grateful.
After returning, he saw that the three people were obviously in a much better condition than the others. Yi Tian had replenished their spirit qi halfway, which was very useful.
At least Wu Xing and Tang Lin had finally stabilized at the fifth level of Qi Refinement.
Hua Shi Cheng was in the best condition. He was at the late stage of the fifth level of Qi Refinement. His fat was shiny, making Yi Tian feel uncomfortable.
