As Ye Yun stepped into the Ice Bamboo Grove, a refreshing chill washed over him, sharpening his senses at once.
He hurried deep into the grove, to the place where he usually cultivated.
The elders of the Desolate Sect had divided the Ice Bamboo Grove into four main zones—A, B, C, and D—according to the density of ice-attribute spiritual energy.
Each main zone was further divided into ninety-nine smaller areas.
The higher-ranked an area was, the more Sect Points it cost to cultivate there.
For example, cultivating in Area 88 of Zone A, where Ye Yun was, cost one hundred Sect Points per day.
That might seem like a steep price, but it was well worth it.

One day of cultivation here was almost equivalent to half a month outside for Ye Yun.
So he felt the cost was entirely worthwhile.
After all, how could he hope to catch up with the native prodigies of the True Dragon Continent without paying a price?
Ye Yun reached the center of Area 88, sat down cross-legged, and quickly adjusted his state.
After several cycles of the Iceheart Art, he swiftly entered the Spirit-Void State.
With everything ready, Ye Yun began the day's cultivation.
