Just as Ancestor Lin Shuo and Youfu Palace Commander Wanyuan had come to blows after their negotiations broke down, Qin Fengming and He Xuan, who had entered the lake, stopped on a small island only a few dozen zhang across.
The strange, bone-chilling cold filling the surroundings—cold that made the body's movements sluggish—had already grown extremely dense.
Qin Fengming was certain that if other cultivators entered the lake abruptly without thinking of a way to deal with it beforehand, the cold would freeze their bodies, and they would inevitably plunge into the lake.
Earlier, the moment Qin Fengming entered the air above the lake, an aura even colder than the one outside had directly wrapped around his body.
Fortunately, Qin Fengming and He Xuan had been mentally prepared, and had already begun circulating the cultivation method for Gu Partridge Death Qi within their bodies. Qin Fengming had dared to lead He Xuan into the lake precisely because he knew that circulating the cultivation method for Gu Partridge Death Qi would allow them to somewhat resist the cold here.
Lin Shuo had previously said that he had barged into the lake without preparation.
At first, he had not known how to resist it. Only after recklessly circulating various arts and incantations had he sensed that the cultivation method for Gu Partridge Death Qi could resist the cold.
Since he possessed this advance knowledge that could save his life, Qin Fengming naturally felt at ease.
He Xuan's body swayed several times above the lake's surface before finally stabilizing again. This forced Qin Fengming to greatly admire the strength of He Xuan's physical body.
The two cautiously flew forward and finally found this small island.
The instant he stopped on the island, Qin Fengming immediately waved his hand and offered up a talisman.
