Profound Water Freezing and Ice-Fire Body Forging

"Haha… Good, good, good!!!"

Mu Xingtian, witnessing the scene before him, nodded slightly in satisfaction, though a hint of greed flashed through his eyes, almost imperceptible.

"You little rascal, you truly haven't disappointed this teacher. Take this!"

Having said that, Mu Xingtian stealthily handed Shen Fan a Blood Essence spiritual herb.

"This is a five-hundred-year-old Blood Spirit Mushroom. With the aid of this divine medicine, you will surely be able to quickly break through to the third layer of Blood Refinement!"

"Disciple kowtows to thank Master for the gift of this medicine!"

Shen Fan knelt on one knee, raising both hands above his head, carefully receiving the Blood Spirit Mushroom as if it were a priceless treasure.

"Come, let this teacher examine your cultivation to see if it is truly as you say!"

As Mu Xingtian spoke, he extended his large, withered hand, slowly covering the top of Shen Fan's head.

In an instant, a powerful and irresistible force of spiritual energy, like a surging tide, poured into Shen Fan's Spirit Abode from the top of his head.

Shen Fan felt a sharp pain in his Spirit Abode, as if countless sharp steel needles were piercing him madly, causing him excruciating pain.

Within the Spirit Abode, the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl shone brightly, like an indestructible golden barrier, subtly concealing some of the secrets deep within Shen Fan's heart, protecting his privacy.

"That old bastard, he's using the Soul Searching Technique on me again!"

Shen Fan was shocked, and fear surged through his heart like a tidal wave.

However, at this moment, he was powerless to resist and could only allow that spiritual force to rampage through his Spirit Abode.

Each time the Soul Searching Technique is used, it causes immeasurable damage to the spirit.

"Ah!!"

Shen Fan immediately screamed in pain, his body twitching uncontrollably on the ground.

"Master, my head hurts so much, what's going on?"

Mu Xingtian, however, remained calm and casually fabricated an excuse:

"It's nothing! This teacher is merely helping you to dispel the Fire Poison within your body!"

And through the Soul Searching Technique, Mu Xingtian indeed discovered that, as Shen Fan had said, he had saved the girl, and then the girl had left a Universe Pouch and fled in a hurry.

However, this time, the details about Shen Fan hiding Spirit Stones, pills, and spells were once again cleverly protected by the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl.

Mu Xingtian gained nothing.

Shocked by the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl's newly discovered "warning" effect, Shen Fan slowly stood up from the ground.

At this time, the disciples searching the Waste Elixir Chamber returned.

"Reporting to Elder, some bloodstains and these used medicinal bandages were found in the room!"

The Enforcement Disciple said, respectfully presenting the discovered items.

Mu Xingtian waved his hand and said, "Alright, there is nothing suspicious here anymore. Everyone, follow me to pursue the Icefire Sect traitor!"

Having said that, he ignored Shen Fan and led the group away.

Shen Fan, on the other hand, felt as if he had returned from the gates of hell, his body soaked in sweat, collapsing to the ground, gasping for breath.

Back in the Waste Elixir Chamber.

Everything outside seemed to be isolated from Shen Fan.

The scene just now was too dangerous.

Whether that woman was doing it on purpose or not, Shen Fan now regards her as a bad person!

If it weren't for the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl's timely warning...

Shen Fan couldn't imagine whether he could keep his head if the Law Enforcement Hall people rushed into the Waste Elixir Chamber and saw him counting the things in the Universe Pouch.

"Damn it, this bitch, her heart is truly as venomous as a snake, extremely vicious!"

Shen Fan couldn't help but curse.

However, his hands did not stop, taking out the things he had skimped on one by one and carefully counting them.

Fifteen middle-grade Spirit Stones, eighty low-grade Spirit Stones; more than twenty first-order middle-grade and high-grade pills of various types, including Qi Gathering Pills, Bone Forging Pills, Mind Condensing Pills, and so on, in a wide variety.

What surprised Shen Fan even more was that among the pills, there was actually a Foundation Establishment Pill!

"Oh my god!"

Shen Fan's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his heart beat faster.

This Foundation Establishment Pill is the key to the great path of Foundation Establishment!

How many Qi Refining cultivators are trapped at the peak of Qi Refining, struggling to build a foundation and unable to cross that insurmountable gap.

Unexpectedly, this woman actually left behind a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Seeing this, Shen Fan couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "She left behind such a precious thing. Could it be that she really intended to use me as bait?"

After taking stock, Shen Fan's gaze finally landed on the Profound Water Freezing Art.

The night was deep, the light of the Core Earth Fire flickering and illuminating Shen Fan's focused face.

As the sound of pages turning echoed, Shen Fan's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, a look of pleasant surprise spreading across his face.

"Wonderful! Incredibly wonderful!"

After finishing the technique, Shen Fan couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.

The effect of this Profound Water Freezing Art is, as its name suggests, the ability to condense water spiritual energy into ice.

It seems simple, but the meaning behind it is extremely profound.

With this ice-condensing technique, cultivators can practice spells and techniques of the mutated ice Spirit Root.

Ice and lightning Spirit Roots are extremely rare, belonging to mutated Spirit Roots, and those with this talent are one in ten thousand.

But with this technique, cultivators can embark on the path of cultivating ice-attribute techniques and spells.

Thinking of this, Shen Fan immediately turned his attention to the Polar Ice-Fire Body Forging Art.

This body refinement technique was given to him by Old Man Duan, but unfortunately, it required an ice Spirit Root, so he had been unable to practice it and it had been shelved until now.

But now, with this Profound Water Freezing Art, the path of cultivation is finally unobstructed.

Subsequently, Shen Fan plunged into the techniques and spells, beginning to cultivate with a single-minded focus.

"Profound water spirit, gathering Qi into crystals. Coldness condenses into frost, ice soul manifests!"

As the surrounding spiritual energy slowly entered his body, under the operation of the Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Art, the spiritual energy differentiated into each Spirit Root.

At this moment, Shen Fan focused all his attention on the water Spirit Root.

Water vapor rose, spiritual energy billowed, and a cool air spread from the dantian to every limb and bone, instantly sweeping away the heat in the Waste Elixir Chamber.

Immediately afterward, a chill came from the dantian.

Shen Fan internally inspected his dantian and was pleasantly surprised to find that layers of ice crystals had been extracted from within the water Spirit Root.

Shen Fan secretly rejoiced that he possessed this trashy five elements Spirit Root, allowing him to freely cultivate various attribute techniques.

Although it was only first-grade, the speed was as slow as a turtle.

If he didn't have a water Spirit Root, wouldn't this technique have been wasted?

As the water Spirit Root temporarily transformed into an ice Spirit Root under the operation of the Profound Water Freezing Art, Shen Fan, seeing this, immediately opened the Polar Ice-Fire Body Forging Art and began to cultivate.

"Ice and fire intertwine, tempering the body. Extreme body forging, divine body initially appears."

Shen Fan had studied this body refinement technique long ago, but unfortunately, without an ice Spirit Root, he had been unable to cultivate it.

Now that everything was ready, he could finally cultivate smoothly.

This Polar Ice-Fire Body Forging Art uses the power of ice and fire to temper the whole body.

Shen Fan was situated above the Core Earth Fire, and fire spiritual energy could spread throughout his body without the need for a fire Spirit Root, burning his Blood Essence, spiritual meridians, and physique.

As the fire spiritual energy continued to scorch, Shen Fan's skin instantly turned red, and fine, bead-like sweat covered his entire body, dripping and dripping onto the ground.

This Polar Ice-Fire Body Forging Art is like forging a weapon, first scorching the body to a certain extent, and then quenching it with ice water.

"Ah!!!"

The flames burned fiercely, and Shen Fan seemed to be reborn in the fire, the burning sensation causing him to involuntarily scream.

But the path of cultivation is about contending with the heavens for fortune, going against the natural order, so how could it be smooth sailing?

All of this suffering will be the path that leads to success!

"Now is the time!"

Seeing that the time was ripe within his body, Shen Fan suddenly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, gritted his teeth, and tensed his body.

Then, he mobilized the spiritual power accumulated within the "ice Spirit Root" to circulate throughout his body.

"Swish!!"

Streams of white mist emanated from Shen Fan's body, as if a red-hot iron block had been submerged in water.

"Ah!!!"

Shen Fan screamed and fell to the ground, trembling all over.

"Is this something a human can endure?"

After a long time, Shen Fan's fingers twitched slightly, and he weakly got up from the ground, a relieved smile on his face.

Feeling the scene within his body after being forged by ice and fire.

Shen Fan immediately felt that everything he had just paid was worth it.
