Chapter 127: Master Is Really Rich

After receiving the voice transmission, Yun Xi did not dare delay. She turned and left her newly built courtyard and headed to the summit hall.

“Master, you summoned your disciple. What are your instructions?”

Leng Ruo Han waved a hand, letting Yun Xi sit, and then said, “I see you’ve already found a residence.”

“Yes, Master. Your disciple troubled Master Han from the inner sect, and I’ve handled all the trivial matters.”

Leng Ruo Han nodded coolly and continued, “This lord has sensed something. Before long, I will break through to Deity Transformation. Three days from now, I will enter seclusion. You are my only disciple, so there are things I must tell you in advance.”

Yun Xi’s small face grew serious. “Master, please speak. Your disciple will remember it all.”

Leng Ruo Han was very satisfied with Yun Xi’s attitude. He raised a hand and took the new identity jade token hanging at Yun Xi’s waist. He waved his hand and carved formation patterns into it, then handed it back to Yun Xi.

“I marked your identity jade token. From now on, you can enter and leave Soaring Snow Peak freely. Without your permission, no one can enter Soaring Snow Peak.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Yun Xi understood. This was basically a pass into Soaring Snow Peak. She had to keep it safe.

Then Leng Ruo Han flicked his fingers and sent out a ball of light. It instantly sank into Yun Xi’s forehead.

Yun Xi instinctively wrapped the ball of light with her divine sense. Leng Ruo Han’s cold voice sounded in her ear. “This is the ice attribute cultivation method I practice, Bright Moon Condensing Frost Art. It draws on lunar yin and the power of cold ice to cultivate. You have a water spirit root, so you can also cultivate it. The results will be worse than someone with a pure ice spirit root, but its offensive power is not weak. You can decide for yourself whether to cultivate it.”

Yun Xi’s eyes lit up after hearing that. This was the ice attribute cultivation method she had been looking for. She immediately cupped her hands and said, “Thank you, Master, for granting me this cultivation method. Your disciple was worrying because I couldn’t exchange for a suitable one. This method truly solves my urgent problem.”

A trace of a smile flashed through Leng Ruo Han’s eyes, but it was not obvious. He continued, “If you find a more suitable cultivation method after ascending to the Spirit Realm, you can discard Bright Moon Condensing Frost Art. This lord doesn’t care about empty things like that.”

Yun Xi immediately shook her head. “Master, don’t worry. A cultivation method you practice must be top-tier. How could your disciple abandon it so easily?”

She meant that sincerely. Wasn’t Master about to push for Deity Transformation? If the cultivation method were bad, how could he advance so quickly?

And when Master Han brought inner sect disciples to help her build her house, Yun Xi did not waste the time either. She asked Master Han about many things related to Master.

Leng Ruo Han and the Sect Master were fellow disciples from the same master, and Leng Ruo Han was the senior brother. Because he had an ice spirit root, he looked colder and more detached, as if nothing mattered to him, but his cultivation speed was the fastest among all the senior and junior brothers.

When it came to Fire-Commanding True Lord inheriting the position of Sect Master, Leng Ruo Han had also contributed. With his senior brother’s strong support, Fire-Commanding True Lord was able to sit steadily as Sect Master, and he had held it for so many years.

Yun Xi could tell that Fire-Commanding True Lord was still very far from breaking through to Deity Transformation, while Leng Ruo Han, as the senior brother, gave off the feeling that he could break through at any time.

Also, Leng Ruo Han looked younger than the Sect Master. A cultivator’s appearance was tied to their cultivation. The earlier they broke through, the slower they aged. Leng Ruo Han clearly looked like a young man, while the Sect Master looked a bit more mature.

Yun Xi naturally would not say these things to Master, but her attitude already showed what she thought.

Leng Ruo Han only nodded. “In that case, spend these few days studying Bright Moon Condensing Frost Art. Tomorrow morning, you may ask this lord about anything you don’t understand in cultivation. Time is tight. You must seize it.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Have you still not refined the storage bangle I gave you?”

Yun Xi froze for a breath, then said a little embarrassedly, “Yes, Master. Your disciple was busy replacing my identity jade token and choosing a new residence. I haven’t had time to refine the treasure Master gifted me.”

“There is a set of array pillars inside. Used with the array plate, it can become a defensive formation for your residence. You can also include that pond of snow ling flowers inside it. It will help your cultivation.”

“Thank you for the guidance, Master. Your disciple will go set it up right away.”

Yun Xi smiled so hard her dimples showed. She had wanted to borrow that rich ice spiritual energy, but she did not expect Master to be so thoughtful. This was basically giving her an entire pond of snow ling flowers.

After bidding farewell to Master, she happily returned to her own territory. The first thing she did was refine that storage bangle. The bangle was carved from white jade, perfectly matching Master’s spotless white-jade style.

After Yun Xi used a blood drop to bind it, she sent her divine sense into the bangle and was stunned.

Inside were piles of spirit stones. There was only one pile of low-grade spirit stones, but there were three piles of mid-grade spirit stones. There was even a small pile of high-grade spirit stones. After that came a pile of jade boxes, each one labeled with what was stored inside.

There were heaps of ice attribute spirit plants, from first rank to Third Rank, and there were even three Fourth Rank plants. It was like he was afraid she wouldn’t have enough.

There was also a small pile of pill bottles, with all kinds of effects. Healing, restoring spiritual power, repairing divine sense, and even more uncommon ones like disguise pills, bone-renewing pills, and body-fragrance pills. It was a complete mess of everything.

That made Yun Xi feel that her master had a hidden, playful side. He probably got up to plenty of trouble when he was young.

In the storage bangle, there also stood a piece of thousand-year cold ice as tall as a person. It radiated waves of chill, and inside the cold ice, an sky-blue ice needle was sealed. One look told you it was something good.

As for the array pillars and the matching array plate Master mentioned, they were placed in a wooden box. Inside was also a jade slip explaining how to use them.

“This is nice. There’s even an instruction manual. Perfect for a formation beginner like me.”

Yun Xi quickly swept her divine sense over it, then took out the box with the array pillars and array plate. After carefully studying the instruction manual, she left her courtyard and began placing the nine array pillars in their corresponding positions as described.

For the last step, she embedded the array plate with nine high-grade spirit stones and slapped it directly into her courtyard. The formation activated, and an ice-blue light dome formed, covering her courtyard and the pond of snow ling flowers beside it. In an instant, the light dome vanished.

Yun Xi adjusted the formation to the “conceal” setting. Her courtyard and the snow ling flower pond disappeared, invisible to the naked eye.

Yun Xi played with the array plate for a while, figuring out all its built-in functions. Then she activated the isolation formation, returned to her cultivation room, and let Dian Dian out. She sat cross-legged and began reviewing the sealed Bright Moon Condensing Frost Art inside her sea of consciousness.

What she focused on understanding were the methods for Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Gold Core. The Nascent Soul Stage was still far away from her.

She stayed awake the whole night. At sunrise, Yun Xi finally opened her eyes. In one night, she had already touched the threshold of the ice attribute cultivation method. Next would be actual practice, but before that, she had to go see Master.

Yun Xi changed into the Hao Ran Sect’s personal disciple robes. It was still a green robe, but the collar and cuffs now had gold cloud patterns, making it look more noble.

This time, Dian Dian took the initiative to stay behind to cultivate in the residence. It was a bit afraid of True Lord Leng.
