Ice Snow Lotus

"How did you cultivate so quickly?"

Wei Sa tugged at Zhou Qing's Heavenly Silkworm Robe, wanting to know the secret behind his rapid cultivation.

Wei Sa was aware of the cultivation speed of those with Innate Full Soul Power, which was much faster than that of ordinary Soul Master, but reaching level 20 in less than a year was a bit too outrageous, wasn't it?

"Communicate more with your Martial Soul. Martial Soul are unique beings with their own souls. Understanding their fundamental needs will allow you to better perceive the way your Martial Soul transmits your Soul Power, thus enabling you to cultivate faster," Zhou Qing said succinctly.

"It's that simple?"

Wei Sa didn't believe it and thought Zhou Qing was just fooling him.

"In theory, it really is that simple."

Zhou Qing smiled slightly.

The theory is indeed correct, but theory is theory and reality is reality. Especially in the Douluo Era, when the basic theory of Soul Power cultivation was still in its infancy, most Soul Master found it difficult to integrate their own Soul Power cultivation methods with their Martial Soul in a relatively harmonious way. Even the method of Soul Master circulating Soul Power through the body was obtained from their Martial Soul through meditation.

"Wei Sa!"

Mu Bing's tone was slightly reprimanding, and she expressed her apology to Zhou Qing. After all, it was taboo to ask about other people's cultivation methods, so she changed the subject and talked about the Dancing Winter Rabbit. "The Dancing Winter Rabbit is a kind of Soul Beast. It is actually quite strange. Although the Northern Forest is covered with snow all year round, every winter it will gather together and run and jump in the snow, as if it is dancing because it senses the arrival of winter."

This is also one of the main reasons why Zhou Qing chose the Dancing Winter Rabbit as the Second Spirit Ring of his Martial Soul.

The Moo Spring Ox sing long songs in spring, not only because of their mating season, but also because they are truly celebrating the arrival of spring, showing a mysterious connection with the season of "spring".

The Dancing Winter Rabbit is similar; it dances joyfully in winter. Even though it lives in the cold Northern Forest, the Dancing Winter Rabbit can still sense the arrival of winter in all four seasons.

Perhaps, the Dancing Winter Rabbit is the Soul Beast that represents "winter".

"In the mouths of the residents of our Heavenly Soul Kingdom, the Dancing Winter Rabbit is actually one of the auspicious Soul Beast." Wei Sa also talked about what he knew about the Dancing Winter Rabbit. "It is said that the Dancing Winter Rabbit is the messenger of the Snow Woman. It dances in winter to call on the Snow Woman and bring a ray of warm sunshine to winter."

"Snow Woman?" Tang San's attention was drawn. "Is this also a kind of Soul Beast?"

Zhou Qing did not answer.

He knew about the Snow Empress, but there was no relevant information about Nuoding City, so he couldn't know.

"Of course!"

Wei Sa became more and more excited as she spoke, "It is said that it is a humanoid Soul Beast that looks almost exactly like a human. It is born with human intelligence and is formed from the purest ice-attribute Elemental Power in the world. It is the darling and ruler of this icy world."

Naturally born and nurtured by nature!

These four words appeared in Tang San's mind—

In the myths of the past, it is said that Sun Wukong sprang from a stone and was a creature born of heaven and earth.

Unexpectedly, there are similar beings in this Douluo Continent, and they are even formed from pure ice elemental energy.

"It is said?" Romantina asked doubtfully, "Is it just a legend?"

"The Snow Woman resides in the core area of Extreme North, which is nearly ten thousand miles away from here. We cannot enter to explore it... However, several years ago, a Titled Douluo from the Heavenly Soul Kingdom went to the depths of the Extreme North to search for the Snow Woman's whereabouts. He returned severely injured, proving the Snow Woman's existence. That Titled Douluo also unfortunately perished after his body was invaded by Extreme Ice."

Mu Bing sighed deeply, "However, precisely because this Titled Douluo lived hundreds of years ago, people today do indeed doubt its accuracy."

Swoosh—

Just then, a fluffy ball the size of a human head darted out from the nearby woods. It was so fast, and its snow-white body made it almost blend into its surroundings, that it disappeared in an instant.

"That's the Dancing Winter Rabbit!"

Mu Bing laughed, "While running, one can draw upon the surrounding ice and water elements to cover one's legs and feet, allowing one to run like the wind on the snow. Even a thousand-year-old Dancing Winter Rabbit can leave no trace on the snow, as if it were gliding on ice."

"We've never seen the Snow Woman, but judging from the speed that the Dancing Winter Rabbit has shown so far, it is the Spirit of this icy and snowy region."

Zhou Qing expressed his feelings.

The Dancing Winter Rabbit that had just run away was less than a hundred years old, so Mu Bing did not immediately lead Zhou Qing and the others to pursue it, but continued to advance slowly.

The Dancing Winter Rabbit is a social Soul Beast. If you encounter one, you will inevitably encounter another. It's not too late to make a move when you see Dancing Winter Rabbit that has reached the age of a thousand years.

"Huh?"

Tang San discovered something in the snowdrift where Dancing Winter Rabbit had just darted out. He walked over in a few steps and began to dig, whereupon a large flower was revealed.

This flower is flawless, with a pale yellow, translucent stem that resembles jade. At its base are four short, emerald-green leaves, and at the top, the large flower petals cluster together like a lotus flower. In its center is a crystal-blue bead that emits a faint white fluorescence.

It is Snow Lotus Flower!

"What great luck!"

Although this Snow Lotus looks quite different from the Snow Lotus in his previous life, Tang San is certain that its peculiar appearance suggests it may have special medicinal properties.

Just as the Moon Shines Brightly in the Twelve Towers took out a Jade Ruler from the twelfth floor, cut off the roots, and picked it, Mu Bing shouted, "Have mercy!"

"Um?"

Tang San stopped what he was doing, wondering if Mu Bing was trying to take the Snow Lotus from him, and became wary.

While the value of Snow Lotus may not be comparable to that of Soul Bone, it is certainly not insignificant and may even cause conflict, especially given Mu Bing's appearance, which suggests she seems to know the specifics of this Snow Lotus.

"Little friend, this is a Plant Soul Beast. Could you please give it to Wei Sa?"

Mu Bing noticed the wariness in Tang San's eyes, glanced at Zhou Qing, and sighed at the precociousness of the two children, but still explained why she had asked them to stop.

"Is this Soul Beast?"

Tang San carefully examined the Snow Lotus before him, then frowned. "Qing Ge, can you sense the Soul Power fluctuations of this Snow Lotus?"

If it is Soul Beast, it must have fluctuations in Soul Power!

Zhou Qing took a few steps forward, looked left and right, closed his eyes, and activated the Innate Internal Scripture Chart. Baihui Clear Qi Connects to Heaven and the Yongquan Turbid Qi Connects to Earth, and only then did he realize the flow of Soul Power inside the Snow Lotus. "It does exist. Its cultivation is concentrated in the Crystal Blue Bead in the center of the flower. It is very restrained and ordinary Soul Master cannot detect it at all."

"Insightful."

Mu Bing was surprised. "It seems your senses are very sharp! This plant is called Ice Snow Lotus. It grows by absorbing the ice element energy between heaven and earth. Its cultivation level is calculated according to the number of outer petals. This one has three layers, so it already has three hundred years of cultivation."
