A letter

"You stole the Cultivation Method, and now you're coming to use the Cultivation Room?"

Bing Li stared at Su Bai with an unfriendly expression, but couldn't help feeling slightly surprised.

In just a few months, the sharp aura emanating from this person had become more restrained, yet also more dangerous.

Staring at it for too long, I even felt a slight stinging sensation in my eyes.

This guy's strength has improved by a significant margin again.

Bing Li had a strange intuition that if she Magic Duel him now, the outcome would be unpredictable.

"There's no way around it, practicing Ice Attribute Spell is too noisy," Su Bai said frankly.

Bing Li's eyes flickered slightly.

This guy actually started cultivating the [Ice Crystal Jade Puppet] technique?

Could it be that besides his Sword Dao Talent, he also possesses some Root Bone for Ice Magic?

She stared at Su Bai for a moment, then finally snorted coldly, turned around, and led the way. "Follow me."

Before long, Su Bai was led into a Quiet Chamber located deep within the Ice Court, its walls covered with pale blue array patterns.

The room was frigid yet pure and refined, making it an ideal place to cultivate ice-based Divine Ability.

Bing Li left with the words "Take care of yourself" and then turned and left.

Su Bai didn't delay and immediately closed the door to focus on his cultivation.

This training lasted for more than two months.

Early March, in Quiet Chamber.

Su Bai slowly opened his eyes, a fleeting glint of icy light flashing within them.

He raised his hand and gestured, and the cold air around him suddenly condensed. A seven-foot-tall Ice Crystal Puppet, as clear as Xuan Bing and with a faint jade-like luster flowing inside, suddenly took shape.

The puppet's outline was similar to a human, but it lacked facial features. Only a profound and solid defensive aura emanated from it, and the pure and chilling cold it exuded far surpassed that of the previous Ice Snow Jade Puppet.

The Second-Rank High-Grade Defensive Spell, [Ice Crystal Jade Puppet], has finally been mastered to a basic level.

With a slight thought, Su Bai caused the puppet to instantly dissipate, transforming into specks of icy light that entered his body.

Feeling the nearly 30% of his Spiritual Power being consumed in his dantian from casting this technique, he nodded slightly. The consumption was indeed considerable, but thanks to the amazing affinity and control precision brought by his "Beyond Third-tier" Ice Attribute Spell Talent, the actual consumption was nearly half of what he had expected.

Moreover, its condensation speed and structural stability far exceed the level of ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator when they first learn this technique.

Having this skill greatly increases one's survival ability.

He left the Ice Court quietly, without alerting anyone.

The two thousand Contribution Points distributed this year have already been used to purchase Jade Mist Pill. However, the Copy ability of [Immortal Talent Reflection] has not yet been refreshed. Su Bai originally planned to take on several True Disciple quests to accumulate Contribution Points in order to exchange for a long-awaited Second Tier Spirit Sword.

Just as he was pondering this, the True Disciple Elder's Token tied to his waist vibrated slightly, signaling Transmit Message from the Inner Sect Hall Steward: a letter had been delivered.

"A letter?" Su Bai pondered for a moment.

In the Cultivation World Transmit Message is mostly done using Jade Talisman or specific Law Technique; such primitive methods mostly originate from mortals.

Yan Kingdom.

He took off on his Sword Flight and headed straight for the Inner Sect Grand Hall.

From a wooden box respectfully handed to him Disciple a Steward, Su Bai took out a letter sealed with sealing wax.

The paper was ordinary, showing signs of wear and tear.

Unfolding the letter, familiar, delicate handwriting came into view; it was indeed my mother's own handwriting.

In the letter, Mother Su, as always, expressed her restraint in not wanting to disturb her son's pursuit of immortality.

However, the writing style soon turned somber, revealing helplessness and panic between the lines.

It turns out that the Prince born to Empress Zhang had joined the Profound Yin Sect about a year ago.

Empress Zhang already harbored deep resentment towards Consort Ling (Su Bai's mother), who had enjoyed the emperor's favor for many years due to her son's status. Now that she felt she had someone to rely on, she began to suppress her wantonly.

Several loyal maids around Mother Su died one after another in "accidents," and recently she has felt her energy declining rapidly for no reason, often experiencing palpitations and physical weakness, suspecting that she has been poisoned in a slow and undetectable way.

The last words of the letter trembled slightly. "My son, unless your life is in danger, I would never wish to disturb your peaceful cultivation. However, the insidious influence in the palace is growing daily, and it is as if I am walking on thin ice; I fear I cannot endure this for long..."

Su Bai silently finished reading the letter, his gaze falling on the date at the end.

It was already half a month ago. The fact that this letter was delivered so quickly is most likely because the person handling it recognized the Token the Jade Mist Sect's True Disciple Elder and expedited the journey.

A hint of coldness flashed across the depths of Su Bai's eyes.

"I shall go to the Yan Kingdom Imperial Capital," he muttered to himself.

Empress Zhang... He had no interest in the mundane power struggles and infighting within the imperial harem.

However, if the mother's life is endangered, that's a different matter.

"His son joined the Profound Yin Sect?" Su Bai's lips curled into a cold smile. "Let you all know that there is a world of difference between cultivators."

He did not set off immediately, but instead went to the Law Enforcement Court.

Using his authority as True Disciple Elder, he accessed the sect's intelligence database and reviewed brief records about Disciple from other countries, especially those with connections to mortals within the Jade Mist Sect Sect's territory.

Soon, a message appeared:

Su Chan, the eighth Prince of the Yan Kingdom, is about seventeen years old and Two Spirit Root Talent.

About a year ago, he was introduced to the sect by Steward from the Profound Yin Sect and was accepted as Outer Disciple.

The rest are unknown.

"Two Spirit Root, Outer Disciple..." Su Bai made up his mind.

He was neither a prodigy nor someone with a powerful background.

In this way, there are fewer concerns.

He put away the Jade Slip, left the Law Enforcement Court, and his figure transformed into a Sword Light sword light that soared into the sky, heading towards the Yan Kingdom.
