The medicine dissipates quickly.
Qin Tiexin was lying on the ground, feeling a burst of itching from the deepest wound on his back - it was the touch of flesh and blood growing. Body Refining monk's self-healing ability was far beyond ordinary people, and the quality of the elixir given by Li Yun was high. When the two were superimposed, he could clearly feel that the injury was accelerating its healing.
After about an hour of burning incense, he stood up and moved his left arm. There was still a dull pain, but he could already bend and stretch normally. He touched his back with his backhand again - the wound had scabbed over, and although it still hurt a little if he moved too much, at least it was no longer Bleeding.
He stood up and patted the ice and snow debris on his body.
Li Yun stood aside and quietly watched him finish all this. Seeing that he was no longer hindered, she took out something from the storage ring.
It was a lotus flower, to be precise, half of it, and the other half was completely cut off.
Although it is only half of the lotus flower, you can still see that the lotus flower is all white, with petals stacked on top of each other, about the size of an adult's fist. A thin layer of frost is condensed on the surface of the petals. Even outside this Cold Qi formidable cave, it still exudes eye-catching spiritual energy fluctuations. It does not look like a plant, but more like a work of art carved from ice and snow.
"Junior Brother Qin." Li Yun stopped him and handed over the half lotus flower with both hands, "Take this."
Qin Tiexin took a look at the lotus. Although he was not good at alchemy, he had been exposed to various materials at Wind and Snow Pass all year round, so he still had some judgment on spirit medicine. The spiritual power contained in this lotus was extremely pure and of high grade. He took it and put it into his mouth without asking any questions.
The lotus flower melts in your mouth.
An extremely cold spiritual power melted on the tip of the tongue and flowed into the body along the throat. It felt like swallowing a thousand-year-old piece of Frost, but it was not an irritating cold, but an extremely pure coolness, as if a glacier was slowly flowing through the meridians. Every pore it passed was soaked by the coolness.
Qin Tiexin's body stiffened slightly.
"Quick." Li Yun's voice came from the side, with a rare hint of urgency, "Cross your legs and do your exercises."
He did not hesitate, sat cross-legged on the spot, formed a seal with his hands, closed his eyes, and the eight Primordial Qi Vortexs in Dantian began to rotate at the same time. Under his guidance, the extremely cold spiritual power began to move along the route of "Primordial Unity Instruction".
It split into two strands.
A stream of energy flowed into Dantian along the meridians, and merged with the eight cyclones. The rotation speed of the cyclone accelerated slightly, and the color was also dyed with a touch of ice blue - this spiritual power brought not only energy, but also a pure, extremely cold attribute. The five-element cycle in Dantian began to rebalance, and the water element became obviously more active, and the response to the other four elements became smoother.
The other stream, to be precise, the larger one, followed the meridians and entered where Spirit Root was.
Qin Tiexin's consciousness sank into his body and saw his own Spirit Root. The five Spirit Root were like five roots of different colors, intertwined and entwined above Dantian. The golden Metal Spirit Root, cyan Wood Spirit Root, blue Water Spirit Root, red Fire Spirit Root, yellow Earth Spirit Root, the five elements rotate, forming a stable cycle.
After the extremely cold spiritual power poured in, it headed straight for Water Spirit Root. The moment the originally blue Spirit Root came into contact with this power, a layer of faint frost flowers began to condense on its surface. The frost flowers became denser and denser, spreading upward from the roots of Spirit Root, like a river gradually freezing in winter.
This is the ice attribute.
Qin Tiexin can feel that some kind of change is taking place in his Water Spirit Root. In addition to the original water attribute, there is an additional layer of ice attribute - just like the same piece of Water Domain, which has condensed a layer of ice in winter. The water is still water, but ice has been formed on it.
The blue-white power didn't seem to be satisfied after it finished infiltrating Water Spirit Root. It began to spread along the intersection of Spirit Root to the Wood Spirit Root and Earth Spirit Root next to it, as if it wanted to assimilate the other Spirit Root into ice and water attributes.
At this moment, somewhere in Qin Tiexin's body - a place that even he himself was not aware of - a strange power quietly emerged. The power was extremely obscure, like a rock sunk at the bottom of the water, and its existence was usually not felt at all. But when the blue and white spiritual power tried to cross the boundary of Water Spirit Root, it moved.
It did not dispel the blue-white spiritual power, nor did it fight against it. It just stood there quietly, like an invisible barrier, blocking the way of the blue-white spiritual power. After testing the blue-white spiritual power several times and finding that it could not break through, the cold power retreated, completely fixed within Water Spirit Root, and no longer spread outwards.
Qin Tiexin was completely unaware of this. He could only feel that his Water Spirit Root had an additional ice attribute change. The original pure water spiritual power now had a bit of a bit of coldness.
He ran "Primordial Unity Instruction" again. The eight cyclones in Dantian were all stained by the blue-white color, with a subtle ice light as they rotated. With a thought, he mobilized a trace of spiritual power to condense on his fingertips - no fireballs or water droplets appeared on his fingertips, but a small ice crystal condensed, sparkling in the moonlight.
He opened his eyes, his face full of surprise.
"Senior Sister Li, this... what is this?"
Li Yun stood aside, seeing his expression, the corners of her mouth curved slightly. She did not answer immediately, but stretched out her hand and pointed toward the night outside the cave. "Junior Brother Qin, it's already dark. Let's go in and talk."
Qin Tiexin followed her finger and looked outside, only to notice that the sky had completely darkened. The sky that still had the last trace of the afterglow from the battle just now was as dark as ink. The night wind carried a heavier Cold Qi and blew in from the depths of the forest, carrying an unsettling aura.
Spending the night at Devil Domain Forest was an absolute taboo. He knew this on the first day he came to Wind and Snow Pass. Even a team that often went out to perform tasks would find a hidden place to stay before dark and would never dare to stay outside after dark.
He glanced at Li Yun, then at the smooth ice wall behind her. "How... how do you get in?"
"The spiritual power of the lotus you just consumed can help you pass through this barrier." Li Yun said, "Try mobilizing that ice attribute spiritual power to blend into the ice wall."
Qin Tiexin followed the instructions and ran "Primordial Unity Instruction", mobilizing the new and chilling ice-attribute spiritual power in Dantian, and pressed his palm against the ice wall.
A circle of ripples appeared on the surface of the ice wall.
Different from the hard and cold touch before, this time, his palm seemed to have been stretched into a layer of slightly cold water, and the texture of the ice wall became soft and elastic. He took a deep breath and took a step forward.
The process was a bit slower than Li Yun. He was tall and tall. When he passed through the ice wall, it felt like he was passing through a layer of sticky gel. He needed to continue to use the ice attribute spiritual power to maintain the stability of the passage. It took about twice as long as Li Yun before he completely passed through the ice wall and landed inside the cave.
When his feet stepped on the floor of the cave, he looked back - there was still a smooth ice wall behind him, and no trace of the entrance could be seen.
Immediately afterwards, ripples appeared on the surface of the ice wall again. Li Yun's figure passed through the ice wall and landed behind him.
After she landed, she did not walk in immediately, but turned around and waved her hand in the direction of the ice wall. A stream of spiritual power surged out from her fingertips and covered the snow outside the ice wall - those messy footprints, broken ice shards, dark red blood stains, and scattered javelin fragments were covered by a thick layer of snow, as if nothing had happened.
Then she turned around and walked deeper into the cave. Behind her, the ripples on the surface of the ice wall slowly subsided and returned to a surface as smooth as a mirror. The inside and outside of the cave were completely isolated. All sounds outside were blocked by the ice wall, leaving only the slight footsteps of the two people echoing in the empty cave.
