The Ice Pure Jade Body can fundamentally change her cultivation talent and improve efficiency.

The pills and the Heavenly Heart Snow Lotus can be used in conjunction with cultivation; after refining them, her cultivation base is bound to advance significantly.

As for the Pure Heart Art and the Beginner to Intermediate Array Compendium, they are both excellent secret manuals.

Especially that array compendium.

In the cultivation world, the most profitable side professions are Artifact Refiners, alchemists, Formation Masters, and Spirit Talisman Masters.

Moreover, even beginner to intermediate level formations are quite useful in actual combat.

It can be said that this batch of thirty consecutive draws was absolutely worth it.

"System, arrange the refinement of the Ice Pure Jade Body first."

"It shouldn't hurt as much as yesterday, right?"

[Host, don't panic. After yesterday's refinement, your body's pain tolerance has increased by several levels. Mother no longer needs to worry about the host dying from pain!]

"...??"

[The Ice Pure Jade Body is here, host, catch it!]

"!!!"

The next moment, an bone-chilling cold invaded from her skull, permeating Xia Wantang's entire body.

After all, her Ice Spirit Root was already almost free of impurities; ordinary cold was a small matter to her.

But absorbing the Ice Pure Jade Body was like pouring a basin of extreme cold water over her, making her shiver all over.

"System, I hate you!"

"It doesn't hurt this time, but I'm about to be frozen into an ice sculpture."

[Hehehe, Host, isn't this for a beautiful future?]

[Do you want to be locked up by those Sons of Destiny in the future, having 'that' and 'this' every day?]

Xia Wantang: ...Alright, I don't want that.

Forget it, forget it. To become strong, one must first go crazy. She was completely crazy now, only wanting to cultivate quickly and expel the cold energy from her body.

Thus, a new round of cultivation began. When Xia Wantang opened her eyes again, it was already the hour of Chen on the second day.

After cultivating all night, her clothes were covered in dust, and the bun holding her hair had loosened.

"I almost forgot, I have to go to Lingyun Peak at the hour of Si. If I break my promise on the first day, I might lose favorability."

She was a mess right now and needed to wash up quickly.

Walking to the bronze mirror, Xia Wantang was surprised to find that not only was her complexion rosy and radiant, but she also seemed to be even more beautiful than before?

"Meow meow meow? What's going on? How did I work so hard all night, and instead of looking exhausted, I'm glowing?"

[That's because the Host absorbed the Ice Pure Jade Body. The Ice Pure Jade Body makes the Host's physical body purer and is an excellent beauty artifact.]

[Wherever the Host stands now, she looks like a fairy descending to earth, exuding an ethereal aura.]

"Doesn't that mean I'm one step closer to being imprisoned?" That's too dangerous!"

[Sigh, you have to look on the bright side. At least it's easier to gain favorability points, right?]

"That's true. If it really doesn't work out, once I reach seventy or eighty favorability points, I'll just run away and stop playing with them."

With that said, Xia Wantang used a cleansing spell to purify herself. She took off the Nine Heavens Ice Glaze Hairpin and tied her long hair with a light gold ribbon, giving her a capable and sharp look, suitable for sword practice.

After a night of intense cultivation, her cultivation had already advanced to the peak of the Mystic Martial Realm, so the Nine Heavens Ice Glaze Hairpin, which concealed her cultivation, was temporarily useless.

After tidying herself up, Xia Wantang took out the Jianjia Sword and rode it towards Lingyun Peak.

Today, Ye Xing began practicing his sword as usual, early in the morning.

Compared to the Saintess, the Holy Son had more freedom with his time. His usual cultivation schedule was to practice sword in the early morning, then meditate and cultivate in the evening until the next morning.

He had maintained this routine for over ten years since becoming Fu Lingyun, and it was very regular; he was already accustomed to it.

But for some reason, while practicing his sword today, he kept getting distracted. Although it didn't have a significant impact, it still made him feel a bit uneasy.

This was because a graceful figure in his mind refused to leave.

Just as he was feeling vexed, the golden figure from his memory approached and appeared before him:

"Holy Son, good morning."

Xia Wantang landed gracefully, the breeze lifting her light golden robes, reflecting the morning light as if she were about to ascend to heaven at any moment.

Her jet-black hair was tied up high, giving her a more capable air compared to usual, but her face remained soft and pure.

And for some reason, today she seemed to be enveloped in a faint light, as if she had a divine filter; she was truly like snow condensed on jade, with pearls adorning her lips.

Looking at her flying long hair, Ye Xing couldn't tell if it was the wind moving or his heart.

[Host gained 5 favorability points from Ye Xing. Current favorability: 30. Faith points: 50.]

Xia Wantang: ??? What did I do to gain his favor?

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this kid's dao heart is unstable. Over a hundred years old and still not as steady as Xiao Rui. Just one glance and his favorability points are rising. He's just lusting after the host's body, how base!"

Xia Wantang: "Is it possible that it's because he's a demon by nature, so his dao heart is unstable?"

"Emmm, that actually makes some sense."

Snapping back to reality, Ye Xing's expression was surprised:

"It seems the Saintess worked hard last night. After just one day, your cultivation has advanced so much, you've caught up to me."

Fu Lingyun, in his early twenties, publicly claimed his cultivation was at the peak of the Mystic Martial Realm, already considered a prodigy.

But who would have thought that Xia Wantang, only eighteen years old, had also reached the peak of the Mystic Martial Realm? How could this not surprise Ye Xing?

It seemed his own cultivation, which hadn't budged in a long time, should also be improved a bit.

Ye Xing had always been afraid to openly increase his cultivation, fearing he would be too outstanding and his secrets would be revealed.

But he never expected that the newly recruited Saintess of Azure Cloud Palace would have such extraordinary talent. Compared to her, he seemed rather ordinary.

Upon hearing this, Xia Wantang pursed her lips and smiled:

"The Holy Son is so outstanding, it's only natural that I, as the Saintess, must also put in the effort."

"Only then can I be worthy of the title 'Saintess' and stand on equal footing with the Holy Son."

Hearing this, Ye Xing's body trembled:

Could it be... she's working so hard to catch up to me because she wants to be a woman worthy of me?

So the Saintess is trying so hard all for me... Unfortunately, my true cultivation is actually far beyond the peak of the Mystic Martial Realm.

Even though it was just a couple of sentences, Ye Xing's preconceived notions from yesterday still led him to imagine an elaborate scenario.

"Host has gained 3 favorability points from Ye Xing. Current favorability: 33. Faith points gained: 30."

Hearing the System's electronic broadcast, Xia Wantang couldn't help but complain in her mind:

Why is this guy getting stingier? Before, favorability points increased in increments of ten. Today it's only five or three points at a time.

"Host, be content. Gaining favorability points from the Son of Destiny to 33 is something I wouldn't have even dared to dream of before. It's already very impressive."

Xia Wantang: "Speaking of which, why does this demon prince seem so pure-hearted? He believes anything I say with just a bit of flattery."

"Host, don't be fooled by his age. Although he's already a hundred years old, for the Demon Race, a hundred years old is just barely reaching adulthood, about the same as you."

Xia Wantang: "Then he must be very susceptible to PUA, CPU, and PPT."

"……???"

"Cough, cough, it's good that the Saintess thinks so," Ye Xing said, forcing out the words. He then changed the subject: "Since we were going to practice swordplay, let's start quickly."

"I've heard that the Ice Heart Art the Saintess practices can condense Qi and spirit, and overcome hardness with softness. Lingyun has long wanted to experience it firsthand."
