Using Ice Flower

Cui'en City.

Han Han first made a trip to the Universe Galaxy Bank to deposit the 28 billion Cuilang Coin he had obtained in the simulation, then headed toward the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

To absorb Ice Flower ahead of schedule, he had to pair it with an Ice Heart Potion.

The simulation mentioned that the Ice Heart Potion had a wide range of uses and could be bought directly with money; a quick check in the Virtual Universe revealed that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had it in stock.

Of course.

The ostensible purpose of the Ice Heart Potion was to dampen the power of water-attribute Origin Force after consumption, primarily used for post-battle recovery between Domain Lord level fighters.

Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion...

"Ice Heart Potion?"

Tana was stunned for a moment; no one had asked for an Ice Heart Potion in at least a thousand years.

There was no helping it—Domain Lords weren't stupid. If you consumed an Ice Heart Potion, how could they possibly continue fighting you? Besides, there were more economical and practical choices for post-battle recovery.

"Do you have it?" Han Han asked.

"Yes, yes, we do." Tana quickly smiled and summoned a virtual image, which was indeed the Ice Heart Potion. "Although the Ice Heart Potion is rare, there is still a market for it, and the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion always keeps 100 vials in reserve."

"I want two vials," Han Han continued. "An elder in my family is injured, so this is a good chance to build some favor. Let's draft the contract directly."

"Yes, yes."

Tana was shocked in his heart, Using an Ice Heart Potion for recovery? That elder is likely a powerful Universe Rank... or even a Domain Lord!

He began to entertain other thoughts.

There was a record in the simulation that Tana actually had a blood feud with Wu Sha, a Star Rank level 9 guard of the Moran Family, but he dared not provoke a Universe Rank family.

However, he ultimately didn't speak up; after all, the two of them were far from having that kind of relationship.

"The Ice Heart Potion sells for 1 million Ganwu Coin per vial. You can enjoy a 5% discount, totaling 1.9 million Ganwu Coin." Tana displayed the drafted contract.

"Can I pay in Cuilang Coin?" Han Han inquired.

"It is possible, yes." Tana nodded. "But if you pay in Cuilang Coin, it will cost 1.2 billion per vial, and you cannot enjoy the discount. You know as well as I do that official Cuilang Coin cannot be exchanged for Ganwu Coin."

"Draft it again; I will pay in Cuilang Coin," Han Han said.

It was a bit expensive, but the main thing was that he didn't have any Ganwu Coin. If he went to the black market to exchange it, the denominations were too large, and it would not only be time-consuming but potentially even more of a loss.

Tana operated the light screen for a moment and soon revised the contract.

After paying the deposit, Han Han left.

In fact, two vials of Ice Heart Potion were far from enough. He had thought about absorbing Ice Flower until it lost its effect, but buying this stuff in large quantities was too suspicious.

Aside from assisting in the absorption of Ice Flower by beings below the Universe Rank, the Ice Heart Potion was mainly used for healing wounds; almost no one bought it otherwise.

Returning to his manor, Han Han let his consciousness enter the Virtual Universe and arrived at the Killing Field to train.

The Virtual Universe claims it will never leak privacy. Heh, that's only because it doesn't affect the development of the race.

Han Han muttered to himself while operating the virtual interface. Soon, he created a Star Rank level 1 martial artist as his opponent.

It wasn't that he was arrogant.

Although there was a tenfold difference in base power compared to a Planetary Rank level 9, he was a Planetary Rank who possessed a domain.

"Whoosh!"

The virtual martial artist took a step forward, the blade in his hand slashing toward him like a ray of light. The sword technique was incredibly ruthless and decisive, without a hint of hesitation.

"Well done."

A cyan glow flickered in Han Han's eyes, and an invisible barrier instantly spread in all directions.

As the Wood Domain was unleashed, the virtual martial artist's figure seemed to slow down dozens of times. Han Han simply sidestepped and dodged the blade.

No matter how strong the power, you have to be able to land the hit!

He didn't hesitate either, decisively slashing out with his blade, striking directly at the virtual martial artist's back.

Unfortunately, his power was insufficient—it was purely the power of a Planetary Rank level 9. A single strike couldn't achieve an instant kill, and instead, it ignited the virtual martial artist's fighting spirit.

Yes.

The entities simulated by the Killing Field didn't act like machines; Han Han guessed they might be manifested by some kind of intelligent life.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

Two streaks of light collided continuously on the ground. About an hour passed, and Han Han managed to gain a slight edge over the virtual martial artist by virtue of his recovery speed.

"Next, I'll practice the Rotten Wood Blade."

Han Han created another virtual martial artist, also at the Planetary Rank level 9, but this one was capable of using the first layer of the Rotten Wood Blade.

With the assistance of his Wood Domain for observation, seeking a breakthrough during combat was perhaps more suitable for Han Han.

Just like that, 29 days passed.

The procurement of the Ice Heart Potion took much longer than Han Han had imagined. It wasn't until today that Tana brought the two vials for delivery, and Han Han naturally paid the money without hesitation.

Inside the Micro World.

"Inject Origin Force, and the Ice Flower will actively transform into a liquid with an extremely low temperature."

As time passed, both Ice Flowers turned into liquid and merged together; even from a hundred meters away, one could feel a staggering chill.

"The simulation chose Ice Flowers that hadn't fully gestated; combined, these two roughly count as one complete entity."

Han Han took out an Ice Heart Potion, the blue-green liquid giving off a truly wondrous sensation. "I must drink the Ice Heart Potion first, otherwise, I'll have trouble even touching it."

He opened the bottle and downed it in one gulp.

The blue-green liquid entered his body and rapidly transformed into a blue-green energy stream that flowed to his limbs and bones; at the same time, Han Han clearly felt the chill dissipate.

In this way, his safety would not be an issue.

"Drink!"

Han Han guided the Ice Flower liquid in mid-air and drank it bit by bit. For a moment, he felt his consciousness become clearer than ever before, as if his soul had been sublimated.

"Hum~"

A mysterious ripple spread outward, but this was the Micro World—how far could it possibly spread?

After about two hours, the transformation ceased.

He opened his eyes; his originally gray-black pupils had turned ice-blue, and faint law patterns could be seen roaming across the surface of his skin.

"So that's how it is," Han Han couldn't help but say.

The reason Ice Flower could increase law affinity was, first, that it purified the user's soul to a certain extent.

A stronger soul naturally makes it easier to comprehend laws.

Second, it formed simple law patterns on the surface of the user's skin. These patterns were naturally close to the laws, and with them resonating with the laws, it was naturally easier to grasp them.

"These law patterns are remarkably similar to the body patterns of the Golden Horned Behemoth."

Han Han pondered, "If I absorb enough Ice Flower, the law patterns will become increasingly distinct. Perhaps, in the end, it could allow me to master laws on my own."

Unfortunately.

This was merely his conjecture.

The Golden Horned Behemoth's patterns were brought about by its genetic level; if it were this simple to replicate, it would have spread long ago. Solidifying the patterns would, at most, only improve the effects slightly.

"Let's test the results."

Han Han sat cross-legged, quietly releasing his Wood Domain. At the same time, the faint law patterns on his skin emerged, resonating with the Wood Domain.

"Not bad at all."

"It wasn't a waste of the life I risked to seize it in the simulation."
