Bad News
Because of the appearance of this Millennium Iceberg Snow Lotus, Long Xuan immediately decided to go back and establish his own Medicine Garden as quickly as possible. The Spirit Bee need a lot of floral spirit medicine and cannot always rely on other people's Medicine Garden.
This matter absolutely cannot be delayed any longer. He originally planned to use the Eye of Heavenly Secrets to draw small Formation Inscription. On the same Formation Disk of the same area, he could draw a hundred times more Formation Inscription than others.
He will then develop a new school of formations, forming his own distinct style, and in later historical records, he will be known as the founder of this school.
The array formation books he acquired from Di Xin were read by his clone, who also assimilated the memories into him.
But he had too many things to do and hadn't had a chance to do them. Creating his own formation was no easy task and would take up a lot of his time. He had to prioritize things.
With the transplantation of the Millennium Iceberg Snow Lotus imminent, he didn't have time to study the formation, so he decided to make do with the formation he had obtained from Master Jin for a while.
Not many of the formation materials were damaged in the battle not long ago, so since we have them readily available, we can use them first.
Furthermore, the formation that Di Xin used was no simple matter; it was more than enough to keep out Gu cultivators in the Marrow Cleansing Stage. Without such power, how could Master Jin dare to settle in the wild? With the wealth of a weapon refiner, who wouldn't see him as a walking fat sheep?
After warming himself by the fire and replenishing his strength with food, he picked up a piece of wood from the fire, held up a makeshift torch, and walked deeper into the cave.
He hadn't forgotten his main task; he needed to bury the Millennium Ice Marrow in a suitable place for its growth, and then dig it out after it became Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow.
After observing the area, he found it to be rich in spiritual energy and with favorable Earth Vein. Based on his limited knowledge of feng shui, he felt it was a suitable place for the growth of the Millennium Ice Marrow. Therefore, he decided to bury the Ice Marrow deep within the cave and wait at the edge of the cave entrance.
The cave was long and narrow, and he finally reached the end just as the torch was about to burn out.
However, a deep pit had been carved out of the stone wall at the end. Judging from the marks, it was clearly dug by man, and it hadn't been dug out for long.
The pit exuded an eerie chill, much like the aura of the Millennium Ice Marrow.
Long Xuan was stunned. Could Master Jin have unearthed the Millennium Ice Marrow right here? It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?
He was dumbfounded, meaning that he had stumbled upon the original source of the Millennium Ice Marrow by sheer accident.
He swore that all he knew was that Master Jin had dug out the Millennium Ice Marrow from the Great Snow Mountain, but he truly didn't know the exact location where it was dug. The Great Snow Mountain was enormous; where was he supposed to find the original burial site?
His purpose in going there was simply to bury it somewhere; he never expected to find its original source.
But that's how things are in this world: you may plant flowers with care but they won't bloom, while you may plant willows without intention and they will thrive. This was truly a huge surprise for him.
He had absolutely no idea whether burying it anywhere would allow the Millennium Ice Marrow to continue growing.
But if it is buried in its original location, the Thousand -Millennium Ice Marrow will definitely continue to grow, so he can rest assured. Long Xuan revealed an excited smile.
"What great luck! We've almost buried the Millennium Ice Marrow!"
After throwing the Millennium Ice Marrow into the deep pit, Long Xuan immediately ordered his clones to get to work, while he stood by as a supervisor.
When the torch was about to burn out, he picked up the wooden strips he had prepared earlier and made another torch.
It has to be said that the Millennium Ice Marrow is truly cold. The depths of the cave were already cold enough, but the Millennium Ice Marrow released a chill that nearly froze him into an icicle.
Even though he was the furthest away at the moment, and the chill was being borne by his clone who was burying the Millennium Ice Marrow, he was still shivering from the cold.
So after his clone completely buried the Millennium Ice Marrow, he immediately turned back, determined not to stay in that place any longer.
Next, he just needs to wait patiently. He has calculated that if all the conditions are met, he only needs to wait about ten days.
During those ten days, he kept an eye on the progress of the Millennium Ice Marrow deep in the cave. Every time he saw a slight increase in progress, a smile would appear on his lips.
Ten days later, Flame Clone ran out from the depths of the cave carrying the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow. The cold air released by the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow was far more terrifying than that of the Millennium Ice Marrow, and Yan's Flame Clone, who was carrying it, was frozen half to death.
Upon seeing the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow that he had been waiting for so long, Long Xuan could no longer contain himself and burst into laughter.
"Good! Good! I want to see what the Divine Ice Flame forged from the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow will look like. All clones, prepare the materials immediately..."
Under Long Xuan's command, another ten days quickly passed.
Refining the Divine Ice Flame is not like refining Gu poison; it really doesn't take too long.
On the day the Divine Ice Flame was born, a blue-ice-colored flame descended into the air above the cave. The flame burned fiercely, releasing a devastating chill that caused the cave temperature to plummet. Ice formed on the ground and stone walls, and the entire mountain seemed to tremble.
Long Xuan was nearly frozen to death by the oppressive chill. He kept his distance, not daring to approach, and didn't even have time to appreciate it properly. He immediately ordered his Flame Clone to refine the Divine Ice Flame.
It's important to understand that devouring flames carries enormous risks. How can a mortal body possibly consume flames? Most people would simply be consumed by the flames, with only a few succeeding.
But Long Xuan was clever; instead of refining the flames himself, he sent his Flame Clone to do so.
It should be understood that all the cultivation achievements of the clone can be returned to the main body. If the clone successfully refines the flame, it is equivalent to the main body successfully refining the flame.
Even if he fails, only an avatar will die; his main body will remain unaffected. If he succeeds, he can reap the rewards without lifting a finger—it's perfect.
Clearly, luck did not smile upon him. After swallowing the Divine Ice Flame Clone, the Flame Clone's body immediately froze, and he was instantly frozen solid. His life force was rapidly draining away, and he wouldn't last long before he was about to die.
Most importantly, Long Xuan couldn't see the progress of the fire refining process, which meant that failure was inevitable.
It was also Long Xuan's own fault. The recipe required the use of Millennium Ice Marrow. If he had used the Millennium Ice Marrow to refine the fire according to the requirements, with four clones and four chances, his chances of success would have been very high.
However, he took it upon himself to change the Thousand-Year Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Millennium Ice Marrow to Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow- Millennium Ice Marrow. Although there is only a one-word difference between the two, they are worlds apart.
How could a flame forged from Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow be simple? Its power has increased exponentially, its might reaching the level of heavenly might. How could a mere Spirit Gathering Stage Gu cultivator possibly devour it?
Extremes beget their opposites; creating something too terrifying can actually cause problems.
