Ice marrow was an exceedingly precious and rare substance in any realm, something countless cultivators yearned to obtain.
Although it was no longer of much use to cultivators above the Integration realm, to Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators, it was a heaven-defying treasure capable of increasing their chances of advancing.
Even for a single drop, people would stake their entire fortunes and fight with all their might.
Ice marrow also aided cultivators who practiced ice- or fire-attribute cultivation arts. Tempering themselves with ice marrow could improve the cultivation of those practicing ice-attribute arts, while those practicing fire-attribute arts could likewise gain tremendous benefits through the mingling of water and fire.
When Qin Fengming had first cultivated the Melting Flame Art, without the support of ice marrow, even now he could not be certain whether he would have succeeded in mastering it and completing his fusion with his first Heaven and Earth Spirit Flame.
As his cultivation increased, Qin Fengming became certain that, if Foundation Establishment cultivators attempted to fuse with an extraordinary flame of heaven and earth that contained a sentient flame spirit, it was doubtful whether even one in a hundred would succeed.
Back then, he had known nothing and begun the fusion in blind ignorance. Even recalling the danger now filled him with fear.
It could be said that ice marrow deserved the greatest credit for his successful fusion.
Yet now he had encountered an indescribable quantity of such a precious substance. Even though he had already reached the Spirit Severing realm, he was still shaken to his core and momentarily froze.
"This is ice marrow! It really is ice marrow! So much ice marrow, this... this..."
Almost the instant Qin Fengming recovered his senses, two cries of astonishment rang in his ears, scarcely a moment apart.
