Wu You remember reading a popular science article that said some scientists believed that the caterpillar moth might be a creature that cannot be killed by low temperatures.
That's certainly unlikely, but it's still manageable at -70 or -80 degrees Celsius. However, with Wu You's help, I'm confident I can boost it to +10.
Therefore, Wu You has quite a few materials in his material library, such as the not-so-rare but very strange moth caterpillar.
There are two things Wu You will never forget, no matter where he goes: that handwritten notebook and those sketchbooks.
It's a bit inconvenient to carry around in the summer. If I live far away, I sometimes store these things in the villa of the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor in the Eastern Realm, and I have to teleport there when I need them.
Now that it's cold, you can hide these notebooks made of special materials on your body by wearing a trench coat or overcoat.
Physically speaking, Wu You wouldn't have any problem running naked in the dead of winter, but partly it's a matter of habit, and partly it's to avoid looking too conspicuous.
Upon entering the villa of the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor in Tianyun Mountain, Wu You, who was preparing to conduct alchemy, couldn't help but think of...
Does this count as me working during my vacation?
In a secluded courtyard on Tianyun Mountain, Wu You lay on the plaza suspended on the cliff, letting his mind wander and recalling the feeling of creating the Black Dragon.
Open the system and select Level 3 Alchemy.
Select a Komodo dragon, a great flying fox, a tussock moth, and a bison from the resource warehouse, and confirm.
The moment the mysterious alchemy board was unfurled, Wu You immediately began mentally sketching.
The dense, crystalline white scales appear one by one as the painting unfolds, their metallic sheen shimmering as they cover the entire body, the hard luster creating a layered texture.
The bone spikes protruding from the tips and middle of the wings gleamed coldly, the pale flesh membranes were tough and strong, and every tendon on the wings seemed to flow with a ghostly blue icy light. Beneath its body, a pair of muscular giant feet supported the dragon's body, and the strong claws seemed to be cast from ice-white metal.
The long neck connects to the ferocious dragon head.
Its posture is both wild and elegant, with frost covering its icy white scales and the entire dragon body.
The dragon in the painting is staring ahead with an arrogant expression, its scales swaying as if gently moving with the slight movement of its head.
A swirling, white, frigid aura swirled between the dragon's sharp teeth, with tiny ice crystals rising and falling with it.
Every cell in the dragon's body seemed to be coated with a cold, eerie luster, and within the cavity of its chest, an extremely cold energy that was somewhere between liquid and solid was condensed.
Two long, winding dragon horns stood atop its head, while behind it, the power of its muscles and the strength of its body coalesced into a dragon tail.
The mental energy consumed by the mental depiction flowed continuously into the alchemy canvas like a tap being turned on, constantly supplementing Wu You's ideas about the ice giant.
The dragon's power is not limited to its frost power, but also to the combination of its physical body and energy, its might and its aura.
Once the drawing was complete, Wu You continued to input his mental energy until the creature on the alchemical drawing board reached its limit, at which point he stopped the entire drawing process.
On the alchemy canvas, a ferocious behemoth, its white frost tinged with a cold blue hue, has its mouth slightly open, and countless white wisps and blue glimmers appear within its mouth between its sharp teeth.
System notification: Body arrangement accuracy 87%, alchemy success rate increased by 8.7%.
Current success rate: 60% + 10% (Resonance of Will) + 8.7%.
Is it alchemy?
The success rate is the same as that of the Black Dragon, so the outcome is probably not in any suspense.
Select to confirm alchemy.
The four creatures from the material warehouse were put into the alchemy board, and the giant dragon on it began to materialize rapidly with the sound of flesh and blood growing.
The alchemy canvas seemed to freeze over as the giant beast became more and more lifelike.
A few dozen seconds later, a colossal frost beast surrounded by frost appeared on the alchemy board.
Hint: Alchemy successful. Please name it.

Wu You smacked his lips. After finishing this alchemy, he didn't feel any headache or dizziness. It seemed that his mental strength had taken another big step forward.
Especially after the appearance of the ancient natural tree, every once in a while, my spiritual power would take a big leap forward, and I also had a tendency for my spiritual power to materialize.
The most notable example is when he was showing off before, he used Ao Guang's water control ability and his own spiritual power to perform a raindrop version of a volley of arrows without the need for the natural ancient tree's additional assistance.
One significant benefit of having the internet on Earth is that it greatly expands the reach of the spiritual power of ancient natural trees.
Now, let's upgrade the Frost Dragon to Silver while we're at it.
Obviously, the question of where the ice dragon goes to "upgrade" is quite simple: it must be the polar regions.
As it happens, the restless Kraken octopus had already swum all over the Eastern Realm's oceans, and the frigid poles were exactly where large marine mammals liked to go, so Wu You had essentially "mapped out" the area.
With a jump, Wu You appeared in the sky above Antarctica in the Eastern Realm.
Select Summon: Frost Wyrm, Syndra.
A black light flashed, and Syndra appeared in the air, spreading her wings.
Then the dragon's eyes narrowed downwards, and it flew directly towards the vast white glacier below.
The moment the Frost Dragon appeared, Wu You could feel the surrounding temperature drop significantly and continue to decrease.
Hint: The critical beast, the Frost Dragon Syndra, is about to undergo a metamorphosis, attracting natural energy for tempering.
"Boom!"
The frost dragon landed on all four limbs simultaneously, crashing onto the glacier with a tremendous roar.
This glacier has been frozen again for countless millennia. When the dragon, nearly ten meters in size, crashed down, it only created some insignificant cracks on the surface.
"Ugh~~~~~"
As the dragon's roar resounded, gusts of cold wind swept across the glacier.
Wu You had expected a blizzard, but something unexpected happened.
A fierce wind swirled around the frost dragon, growing ever more crystalline and profound in color. Yet, instead of snow falling on the Tian Shan Mountains, even the glaciers below the Syndra were crackling and sputtering.
The glacier's structure has malfunctioned, not due to factors like gravity, but because the glacier is melting, and at an increasingly rapid pace.
The melting of the glacier took away a large amount of heat, and endless cold air gathered around Syndra with the storm, its color even turning into a ghostly blue like ancient ice.
The frost dragon is inhaling and absorbing the power of cold, and as its efficiency increases, the glaciers beneath it are melting faster and faster.
