The blazing midday sun melted away the hazy morning mist. A beautiful female student in red stepped into the ordinary training grounds, and cold spread in every direction, suppressing the fierce sunlight as the mist began to reappear.
Ling Luochеn said coolly, "Where's the Ice Marrow?"
Awakening an elemental Martial Soul—Ice, pure Ice—had certainly granted her ninth-level Innate Soul Power, but it had also limited the efficiency of her cultivation.
Ice-type Soul Beasts, pills, and rare treasures were seldom found in the world. Most came from the Extreme North, a forbidden zone beyond the Northern Frontier of the Heaven Dou Empire.
To preserve the purity of her Ice, she needed Soul Rings from Ice-type Soul Beasts and Ice-type pills.
Her family's support amounted to nothing more than Gold Soul Coins. Ice-type cultivation resources were especially scarce, and even money couldn't buy them.
With her talent, if she took Ice Marrow, she might even have a chance of reaching Soul Emperor before the age of twenty.
A twenty-year-old Soul King and a twenty-year-old Soul Emperor were worlds apart. The former was the average level among students of the Inner Court; the latter was a genius rarely seen in a century.
Back in her hometown, she had been the Snow Princess, revered by thousands.
At Shrek Inner Court, she was merely an average talent—better than some, but not as good as the best.
Ling Luochеn urgently needed Ice Marrow, even if she had to resort to some dirty methods.
"Please wait a moment, Senior."
In the middle of the training grounds, Bai Cai had been waiting for some time, calm and unhurried. A flash of his Blue Ring, and he took out a hollowed-out piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice. Inside, the Ten-Year Ice Marrow glowed a pale white, its aura exceptionally pure.
