The Ice Block's Body-Tempering Journey, Two Chapters in One!
Midnight.
"How about we sleepwalk again tonight?"
Qin Yuzhi walked in from outside the door, yawning, but stopped abruptly as soon as she reached the doorway.
She stared at the two figures on the roof with a puzzled expression.
This... isn't this a scene she saw in her dream?
"Am I dreaming right now? No, I don't feel like I'm dreaming at all..."
"Could someone have dragged me into this dream? But whose mastery of dreams could possibly surpass mine? Unless..."
"Could it be... could it be that I've never woken up in the Cloud Dream Underground Palace?"
"Am I still living in a dream?"
Qin Yuzhi stared blankly, clutching her head and muttering to herself.
Her incessant chatter successfully froze the two people on the rooftop.
Ying Bing lifted her head from his neck. "Today... the seal ends here."
"Yes, sealing it is not something that can be done overnight; we cannot rush it."
"?"
"When the seal loosens..."
Little Li, lacking conviction, seized the opportunity to argue that this awful and terrifying itch would definitely break through its seal eventually!
It requires long-term and repeated sealing!
Perhaps because he was jolted by the abacus beads, Ice Block remained silent for a long time before standing up.
Startled, Little Li quickly pulled up the hem of his long robe and bent over to hug it.
Ying Bing's beautiful almond-shaped eyes avoided his gaze, because the moment he caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye, it felt like he'd been electrocuted.
She left Little Li had difficulty standing up, on the roof and went back to her room.
As soon as the door closed, the avoidance system beeped:
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the punishment mission.]
[Rewards being distributed...]
[Reward 1: Tribulation Body Jade]
[Reward Two...]
The system notifications continued to ring out, offering rewards that were rare and precious treasures.
But Ice Block sat on the edge of the bed, brewing tea, clutching the Big-Headed Doll tightly.
Tea water gave the Big-Headed Doll several baths before she came to her senses.
[Tribulation Body Jade]: "After absorbing enough of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, it can release heavenly tribulations to temper the physical body. These include, but are not limited to, wind tribulations, fire tribulations, lightning tribulations, and inner demon tribulations... It can be used twice."
The Tribulation Body Jade is a small seal engraved with dizzying inscriptions.
The biggest difference between her and Li Mo right now is their physical bodies.
If only this had come sooner...
[Host, even if you take the top spot, you'll eventually face the punishment yourself, so why deceive yourself?]
Creak--
The Big-Headed Doll's shiny head was gripped tightly, and it let out a pitiful wail.
The system obediently fell silent.
[Sheer Veil Serene Brahma Body]: "A superior-grade divine skill, belonging to the body tempering technique. When it is completed, the skin is as smooth as ice and jade, yet as soft as precious gauze. Still waters run deep, able to absorb the impact of external energy and transform it into one's own use, endlessly."
"Tip: Your appearance and temperament will improve over time, and you will never age. It solves the problem of physical training causing your body to become bloated and unattractive, with outstanding results."
Ying Bing did not deliberately cultivate her body in her previous life.
The tempering she received primarily from the Taiyin energy ensured that she had never suffered any losses in this regard.
We're eating it now.
[The fourth, fifth, and sixth forms of the Divine Firmament Heavenly Heart Sword]: "After these three forms, the complete divine Swordsmanship is complete, using one's own heart to represent the heart of Heaven! Using the indifferent heart of Heaven and Earth to act on behalf of Heaven!"
Ying Bing picked up the manual of divine skills; it was made of soft, golden paper.
If she so desired, she could immediately possess a complete and secret sword technique, and with her talent, she would surely master it in no time.
She raised her index finger and gently touched her crimson lips.
"This method is not suitable for me."
"It needs to be modified before it can be used..."
The following morning.
Let's discuss this.
"I understand how you feel, but how can I go out like this?"
Early in the morning, Li Mo was in the room, head bowed and lecturing someone with a serious expression, hoping the other person would also lower their head.
Unfortunately, the other party seems to have entered a rebellious phase and remains arrogant.
Having no other choice, Little Li took out paper and pen and drew several episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants from memory, including the yellow square catching jellyfish and the pink star, finally managing to calm himself down.
"If this is a dream, why would I dream about things I've never seen before?"
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Qin Yuzhi sitting on the doorstep with her legs drawn up to her chest, still muttering to herself.
"... What are you muttering about?"
Li Mo silently stood behind her, startling the Profound Mastery Realm.
"Something's not right. I had a dream yesterday that didn't feel like a dream at all!"
Qin Yuzhi muttered in a cryptic tone, "I suspect that means He's coming back..."
Is it possible that you've been in a dream all along? And that I'm part of your dream too?
"As expected, you think so too, don't you!"
"I was just kidding. You can dream about things you've never seen before, but you can't dream about things that don't exist in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths..."
"Um?"
Qin Yuzhi raised her head, intending to verify her guess, but suddenly froze, then let out a long sigh of relief.
She regained her composure:
"It's alright now, I'm sure it wasn't a dream."
"???"
Li Mo touched his neck in confusion. Why was she staring at him like that? Had he been bitten by a mosquito again?
But he doesn't feel itchy now.
Completely bewildered, Little Li decided not to dwell on the issue and instead discussed the advertising content with Master Qin.
"By the way, now that we have chicken bouillon and MSG, I think there's no need to advertise both of them at the same time; it's not very effective."
So you mean... only choose one?
"No, I think we can combine the two things and see if we can create something better!"
Li Tiancai has recently come up with a new idea.
The main reason is that he feels that using MSG and chicken bouillon as seasonings is not convenient enough, and the effect may not be as good as he expects.
"Is there anything better?"
"Try it first, and I'll see if I can get Elder Xue to make something that tastes similar."
Li Mo took out a bag of Instant Noodles from the System Space.
That's right!
Why not just make it into instant noodle seasoning packets?
"Snoring... slurping..."
When Qin saw it, he looked doubtful; when it was brewed, he looked intoxicated; and when he took the first bite, his body trembled slightly.
She also stated that she would endorse instant noodles in the future.
The endorsement fee is an unlimited supply of instant noodles.
"What? Get this formula working and then mass-produce it?"
At Cauldron Peak, Qiu Xi, the second disciple of Elder Xue, looked astonished.
Please, I'm going to become a master alchemist, refining only the finest pills, becoming a guest of honor for all the major martial arts sects and even royalty. With a single tremor of my body, I can command the respect and admiration of all.
Don't I have any pride?
