Ice Emperor Scripture

Ice Emperor Scripture

In the dim, cramped storeroom, a dazzling white light suddenly burst forth, making even Chen Xiao squint.

After adjusting to it for a moment, Chen Xiao stared fixedly at the crystal ball.

"Ice?!"

After confirming his attribute, Chen Xiao's mind rippled slightly.

This starting point isn't looking too good!

It wasn't the Fire Attribute, so he couldn't become an alchemist.

To put it mildly, he wouldn't even be able to consume pills refined by others with peace of mind. Chen Xiao clearly remembered that in the original storyline, Yao Chen had tampered with the pills he refined for Refreshing True Lord.

To put it more seriously, half of the many opportunities in his memories had instantly become useless, and his advantage of foresight had suffered a massive nerf.

"Damn it, I forgot that Oba Pa won't live another twenty years."

Chen Xiao shook his head slightly and sighed helplessly as he accepted the result.

Eight or nine out of ten things in life went unsatisfactorily. It was impossible for everything to go smoothly.

There was no point in continuing to dwell on this. With this time, he might as well carefully consider the path ahead.

As for pills, he could use Pre-pay to guard against others tampering with them, or cultivate an alchemist he could completely trust, barely making up for the deficiency that way.

As for cultivation, and the Heavenly Flames that countless alchemists coveted in his memories, even if he couldn't make full use of them, they could still serve as resources to exchange for benefits.

As for becoming a Dou Di...

That was a dream. He had only just learned to crawl, so there was no need to aim too high.

There would always be a road ahead when the carriage reached the mountain, and the boat would naturally pass beneath the bridge when it got there. The outcome had yet to be decided, and anything was possible!

Moreover, Chen Xiao still hadn't fully figured out the Pre-pay in his mind. That was the greatest variable of all. Perhaps he would have a chance to change things in the future.

After wiping the crystal ball clean, Chen Xiao silently turned and left.

In the shadows behind him, a figure with nothing better to do also quietly departed.

"Miss, Chen Xiao condensed his Dou Qi Cyclone today and secretly went to have his attribute tested."

"Oh? What attribute does Big Brother Chen Xiao have?"

Xiao Xun'er's eyes lit up as she asked curiously.

Although a person's attribute could not determine the future, it could be used to tell whether the road ahead would be easy or difficult.

In the current Dou Qi Continent, the path of the Fire Attribute was unquestionably the smoothest.

Besides that, Metal, Wood, Water, and Earth each had their own advantages and were relatively common.

Finally, there were those rare people with special attributes, such as Ling Ying before them.

Born with the Dark Attribute, it meant that even finding a suitable battle skill to cultivate was difficult for him.

Fortunately, he had the Ancient Clan behind him. Otherwise, he might not have reached his current height.

"It's Ice!"

"Ice? That's fine. The Ice Attribute's path isn't particularly difficult either."

"Indeed, Miss. The Jia Ma Empire has an Ice Emperor, whose reputation is quite impressive. Even after disappearing for more than a decade, people still mention him often. As for the Ice River Valley over in the Central Plains, it ranks among the Three Valleys. It's even said that the person who founded Sound Valley back then also possessed the Ice Attribute."

Xiao Xun'er nodded lightly in agreement.

They knew nothing of Chen Xiao's foresight. Under that premise, they both felt that the Ice Attribute was not bad.

The supposed countering relationship of water and fire was the same if water was replaced with ice.

As for who countered whom, that depended on the abilities of both sides.

Before an absolute disparity in strength, even a Dou Wang who wielded a Heavenly Flame would be slapped to death by a Dou Zong-level Ice Attribute expert.

As for alchemists...

They were one-in-ten-thousand lucky individuals. Even Xiao Xun'er herself was not one, so it could not be forced.

"At only eight years old, Big Brother Chen Xiao is already a Dou Zhe. His talent is truly frightening in Wu Tan City, but he also faces a problem."

"Cultivation technique!" Ling Ying picked up the thread.

"Exactly. As friends, we can help Big Brother Chen Xiao for a while, but not forever. Last time, Old Ling 'accidentally' dropped the Qi Gathering Powder in the Back Mountain. It was too fake. I can sense that Big Brother Chen Xiao has already grown suspicious. He is my only friend in the Xiao Family, and I don't want to mix too much into this friendship. The resources Father prepared for me don't include an Ice Attribute cultivation technique, either."

"Miss is right. Chen Xiao currently has only two paths before him. The first is to reveal his talent, gain the Xiao Family's attention, and enter the Dou Qi Pavilion to choose a cultivation technique to make do with. The second is to leave the Xiao Family and join a faction such as the Misty Cloud Sect. With his talent, he could also gain their attention. Other than that, he has no choice. This old servant has seen his savings before. He has only a little over two thousand gold coins in total. That amount cannot buy a decent cultivation technique. Yellow-Rank Low-Level or Mid-Level techniques would simply waste his talent. He shouldn't be that foolish."

Ling Ying began analyzing with absolute certainty.

It wasn't that he cared particularly much about Chen Xiao. The Xiao Family was simply too boring, and he genuinely had nothing else to do.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er smiled noncommittally.

"Let's wait and see. I always feel that Big Brother Chen Xiao isn't someone who takes the ordinary path."

Indeed, their analysis was perfectly correct. Without the assistance of Pre-pay, Chen Xiao would have had no choice.

Unfortunately, there was no "if."

After returning to his residence, Chen Xiao locked the door and racked his brains for a long time before making a decision.

"Can I Pre-pay Hai Bo Dong's cultivation technique? I remember it was called the Ice Emperor Scripture."

The reason Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong had earned that title was partly due to his Dou Huang strength, and partly because of the cultivation technique he practiced.

A single step ahead meant being ahead at every step.

An excessively low-level cultivation technique would, as Ling Ying had said, simply waste his talent.

As for Hai Bo Dong's Ice Emperor Scripture, it was absolutely sufficient for Chen Xiao in the early stages.

There was another important reason: he knew where Hai Bo Dong was. As long as what came afterward was not too difficult, spending a little extra time on it would be worthwhile.

[Ice Emperor Scripture: Profound High-Rank cultivation technique. Available for Pre-pay.]

[Subsequent requirements after Pre-pay: Become Hai Bo Dong's disciple; join the Mite'er Family under his witness; resolve the seal within his body. Complete any one of these.]

[Current number of Pre-pays available: One!]

[Pre-pay?]

"Just as expected of an angel investor. There are actually three choices. Pre-pay it."

After weighing it briefly, Chen Xiao decisively confirmed.

All three subsequent requirements fell within what Chen Xiao could accept.

By comparison, removing the seal was undoubtedly the most difficult. However, with the first two choices as insurance, Chen Xiao had plenty of room to maneuver.

That familiar sensation of something being infused into him came. Chen Xiao eagerly examined it.

He had never seen many other cultivation techniques, but judging by his limited experience, the Ice Emperor Scripture was indeed not bad.

He studied it for quite some time. Only after memorizing the circulation route by heart did Chen Xiao begin cultivating in earnest.

The first conversion of Dou Qi would not take too long. Thus, after only two hours, Chen Xiao, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.

At the same time, the milky-white Dou Qi circulating within his body had completely transformed into a dazzling ice-blue color!

Chen Xiao extended his palm and willed it. The cyclone, which had already entirely turned ice-blue, rapidly circulated a stream of Dou Qi before it finally settled in the acupoints of his palm.

"So what if I have the Ice Attribute? At the very least, it really does look cool!"

In Dou Po, the advantages of the Fire Attribute were quite obvious. Heavenly Flames and alchemists could both pad the word count by a lot, but after writing two books with the Fire Attribute, I really don't want to keep dealing with fire. I'll switch to a different attribute and try a different approach.

Also, regarding the three choices for Pre-paying the Ice Emperor Scripture, all three do not need to be completed. I noticed that more than ten people thought they did, so I came back to clarify. It should be easy enough to understand, right...

I'll continue asking for recommendation votes~

During the new-book period, there will be two chapters every day, and occasionally three. I can't go too fast; I have to wait for recommendations~
