Back in his room, Lu Tao took out a small cloth bag.
This was obtained from the woman in colorful clothes; it's a storage treasure.
He had been too busy before and hadn't had time to look through it. Now that he had some free time, Lu Tao hurriedly organized his findings.
Lu Tao circulated his qi and blood to pour out everything inside.
The space inside the bag is not large, only about one square meter.
It didn't contain much stuff.
There were more than twenty bottles of blood medicine, several books, some herbs, and a letter.
In addition, there were women's clothes, both outerwear and undergarments, all kinds of colorful and gaudy. Lu Tao thought that if they were sold in China, they would definitely be considered alternative uniforms.
Business is sure to be booming.
"They've really got a lot of fun in Red Flower Valley."
Lu Tao clicked his tongue.
Some clothes may look very proper, even giving off a cool and aloof vibe, but they have holes cut in certain places and some have threads, giving people a hazy feeling of looking at flowers through the fog, making people unable to resist exploring them.
After examining the clothes one by one, Lu Tao put them away without any interest.
Then he looked at several other books.
"Huh?"
Lu Tao was immediately interested when he opened the first book.
The book contains a great deal of content, with illustrations accompanying the text descriptions. It depicts a man and a woman fighting, and the fight is so brutal that their clothes are torn off, leaving them completely naked.
The two fought so intensely that they lost all sense of reason and became completely absorbed in the battle.
Every move and stance is captivating.
Some moves look very primitive and simple, yet they give people a sense of profound simplicity; others look quite strange and are extremely difficult, making people feel as if they are reading a book written in heaven, too profound to be understood in a short time.
Lu Tao watched with great interest, as if he were watching a movie with the two of them. Sometimes he would suddenly realize something and say that he had learned something; other times he would frown and think deeply, indicating that this was also acceptable.
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
Lu Tao finally finished reading the book and gained a lot from it.
Lu Tao carefully stored the secret manual containing the primordial Dao of Heaven and Earth into his system space, then turned to look at the other books.
These books are all martial arts manuals, including sword techniques, blood refining techniques, and movement techniques.
The blood refining technique among them made Lu Tao raise an eyebrow.
This cultivation method is actually a method that explains the principles of Yin and Yang, a blood-tempering secret manual that uses Yang to supplement Yin.
The Yin side naturally reaps a huge reward, while the Yang side loses all its vital energy and blood, is completely absorbed by the Yin, loses all its essence, and its blood refining cultivation vanishes into nothingness.
That can be described as vicious.
"That was close! I almost became a victim of indestructibility."
Lu Tao felt a wave of fear wash over him, and after tidying up everything, he finally fell asleep.
Lu Tao slept very soundly that night.
The past few nights have been too hot, and I've been tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep and often suffering from insomnia.
This is probably a common problem among young people in China: severe insomnia, unable to fall asleep at night and unable to wake up in the morning.
Fortunately, after he advanced to the Blood Refining Realm, the situation improved a lot, and tonight, with the "Ice Bead Air Conditioner" on, he slept very comfortably.
...
The next day, it was already broad daylight.
Lu Tao slowly woke up.
Lu Tao had been suffering from insomnia for the past few days, and coupled with his tense mental state, he hadn't had a good night's sleep.
I finally got a good night's sleep today.
The others knew that Lu Tao had been very tired these past few days, having fought a series of battles, so they didn't wake him up and let him sleep until he woke up naturally.
Good morning.
Lu Tao left the room and went to the courtyard, where he found He Zongming teaching He Yuanshuang how to cultivate, instructing her on movements and breathing, so that she could quickly grasp the essentials of the technique.
Wu Ming was also diligently cultivating nearby.
The others chatted casually, getting to know each other better.
As soon as Wu Ming saw Lu Tao come out, he hurriedly called out, "Brother Tao, quickly check if my cultivation is correct."
Lu Tao smiled slightly, carefully pointed out Wu Ming's mistakes, and made Wu Ming realize his mistake.
Upon seeing this, He Zongming couldn't help but laugh and say, "Lu Tao, you should also give my Yuan Shuang some pointers. You can't favor one over the other."
"Of course, no problem."
Lu Tao readily agreed, took the cultivation method handed over by He Zongming, and then added and instructed him, completing the task in one go.
even.
Some of the subtle points that Lu Tao pointed out were things that even He Zongming himself hadn't noticed before.
He had never fully comprehended this technique.
He also gained a lot from Lu Tao's guidance.
The other four were astonished that Lu Tao had learned the entire technique so quickly and could easily instruct He Yuanshuang on how to do things.
Only then did I truly realize how amazing Lu Tao's talent was.
After giving guidance.
The two little ones then began to practice their skills side by side in the yard, snoring and laughing.
Standing next to Lu Tao, He Zongming said, "I didn't realize that Wu Ming, this little guy, has such good talent. I feel that he's even better than my Yuan Shuang. Did you already know that?"
Lu Tao smiled and said, "His talent is a little bit better than that of ordinary people."
He Zongming rolled his eyes.
He Yuanshuang's talent was already better than that of ordinary people, but Wu Ming's talent was even better than He Yuanshuang's. This was more than just a little bit better than that of ordinary people.
Lu Tao didn't explain much; it's best to keep things like improving qualifications a secret.
Lu Tao walked to the pond in the middle of the yard, took out a small box from the round basin, opened the box, and took out the ice beads inside.
The ice bead was only the size of a fist, and it was emitting cold air from its entire body.
Lu Tao glanced at the small box and found that the inner wall of the box was covered with tiny ice beads, while the outside was not damp at all. Clearly, this small box was not simple.
Lu Tao held the ice bead in his hand, and a freezing sensation came from his hand. If he hadn't circulated his qi and blood, his palm would probably have been frozen in no time.
Lu Tao squatted down and put the ice beads into the pond.
Almost instantly, the water near the ice bead began to freeze.
"Brother Tao, what are you doing?" Wu Ming asked curiously.
He Zongming, He Yuanshuang, and the others also looked at Lu Tao with curiosity.
"When conducting experiments, stand back and don't get too close."
After the water near the ice bead froze, Lu Tao quickly took out the ice blocks from the pond and forcefully kneaded them into an ice bead the same size as his fist.
The ice blocks they made already had written descriptions, but as Lu Tao kneaded them into ice beads, the descriptions changed.
The ice cubes turned into ice beads.
[Ice Bead: 0/1 (An extremely fragile ice bead, with a temperature of only -7°C. It has no use other than for playing around and will completely melt in less than half a minute under the current conditions.)]
Lu Tao held the ice bead in his hands, waiting for it to gain experience.
He believed that as long as the ice beads performed their freezing function, no matter how small the effect, they would increase experience points, just like chopsticks and axes.
The value of gaining experience doesn't depend on how useful it is during use; as long as it serves a purpose, it will definitely lead to experience gain.
As expected.
In just a moment, the ice bead gained 100 experience points.
"upgrade."
Lu Tao decisively upgraded.
[Ice Bead: 99/10 (Upgradeable) (-20c, can freeze injuries and reduce pain; will completely melt in the current environment in about half an hour.)]
Lu Tao's eyes lit up.
"You guys are busy, I'll see if I can make the same ice beads."
After leaving a message, Lu Tao casually picked up the small box and ran back to his room, leaving a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.
Do you think you can just get your hands on those expensive ice beads that other inns buy?
"Upgrade again."
【Ice Bead: 689/100 (-75°C, very low temperature, can almost instantly freeze everything around it. If your cultivation level is below the Blood Refining Realm, it is recommended not to touch it. It will completely melt in about six hours under the current conditions.)】
Lu Tao discovered that this temperature was similar to that of the ice beads sold at Tianyun Inn.
Lu Tao was overjoyed.
Without stopping, they continued to gain experience.
At this moment, the ice bead's freezing power greatly increased, affecting not only Lu Tao but also everything in the room, causing his experience to increase rapidly.
Lu Tao put the ice beads directly into the small box.
"upgrade."
【Ice Bead: 1433/1000 (Upgradeable) (-140°C, extremely low temperature, can freeze an ordinary person to death in seconds. Do not touch if your cultivation level is below the Blood Refining Realm. Can last for one month under the current conditions.)】
"Hiss..."
The moment he was upgraded, caught off guard, Lu Tao couldn't help but shiver.
According to his estimate, even with the box, the freezing power is only slightly less than -75°C without the box.
Now, Lu Tao dared not try again.
He worried that if the temperature continued to rise, it might reach absolute zero.
"If the Ice Pearl reaches a higher level, could it be absolute zero?"
Lu Tao had some doubts.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Tao went to the manager of Tianyun Inn to buy a few larger boxes.
However, all their boxes are the same size.
Lu Tao bought several more, then disassembled them and made a larger box himself.
[Insulation Box: 0/1 (Very simple, with slits, it can insulate against temperatures up to 3 degrees Celsius.)]
"..."
Lu Tao was speechless; this 3 degrees was worse than 0 degrees.
"upgrade."
[Insulation box: 0/100 (Standard insulation box, can insulate against temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius.)]
...
[Insulation Box: 0/1000 (High-quality insulation box, capable of insulating temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius.)]
...
[Insulation Box: 0/10,000 (Tier 9 Low-grade insulation box, capable of insulating temperatures up to 400 degrees Celsius.)]
With an insulated box that can block out temperatures of 400 degrees Celsius, Lu Tao allowed Ice Pearl, which had already gained a lot of experience, to level up directly inside the box.
【Ice Bead: 10,000 (Upgradeable) (Rank 9, Low Grade, has reached absolute zero. It will not melt in the current environment. When released with the power of blood and qi or innate primordial energy, it can instantly freeze everything within a radius of ten meters. Even those at the Blood Refining Realm or Bone Forging Realm can be instantly frozen, with no escape.)】
"Holy crap, that's strong?"
Lu Tao was shocked. This was only absolute zero, and the ice beads could be upgraded further, perhaps even lowering the temperature further.
Isn't absolute zero the lowest temperature of ice?
Lu Tao was a little suspicious, but then realized what he meant and said, "Oh, right, this is the martial arts world, so it's alright."
Lu Tao stopped thinking about it.
He realized that the ice bead he created might become a powerful weapon in the future.
"Give me a piece of ice, and I can freeze the whole world?"
