Chapter Summary: “An Interesting Bing Mu, Obtaining Ice Marrow”

• Han Han travels into the upper reaches of the Ice Boundary River, searching for Ice Marrow, a treasure capable of stabilizing an Undying Body.

• Han Han demands ten cubic meters of Ice Marrow. Bing Mu initially offers only one cubic meter, but when Han Han orders an attack, Bing Mu quickly agrees to provide the full amount in exchange for a condition.
• To preserve his reputation among his clansmen, Bing Mu stages a convincing battle. He overwhelms and “drives off” Mu Qing with ice spikes, causing the Ice Heart Monsters to believe their ancestor has decisively defeated the invaders.
