Inside the Spirit-Patrol Pavilion, dense strands of Spiritual Aura drifted through the air.
The Snow Empress wore a plain white dress, her ice-blue hair falling over her shoulders. Her luminous skin looked carved from ten-thousand-year-old ice as she sat cross-legged on a cold jade mat.
"Draw Spiritual Aura into the body, expel the turbid air.
