As for the power of Tianxia Snow Spring, how to use it to save a month of hard work? If you are a dual cultivator, you need to make a choice.

Is it absorbed by the physical body, or is it refined into the soul?

Zhou Qing chose to absorb it with his body to improve his martial arts skills.

The soul has reached the holy realm. Judging from the degree of progress after a month of hard work, it is not as great as the physical body refining realm.

Zhou Qing was promoted to the minor success stage of Bone Refining at the end of last month. With this opportunity of Tianxia Snow Spring and another three months of practice, he has a very good chance of making a further step forward in martial arts during the mid-year competition for the rank of True Transmission, and be promoted to the major success stage of Bone Refining.

However, if he used his soul to refine the power of the snow spring now, the possibility of being promoted to the middle stage of Manifestation of Sainthood in three months would be very small.

The improvement that can be brought about by breaking through a small realm is always greater than that brought about by making some progress in the early stages of manifestation.

So it is not difficult to decide how to make a choice.

The snow spring was colorful, and the colorful energy visible to the naked eye continued to enter Zhou Qing's body, and his body devoured this energy eagerly.

At the same time, Zhou Qing also felt that the seed of transformation that had been hidden deep within his body and had not changed for a long time also began to move in the face of this power, as if it had received considerable nourishment.

Zhou Qing inexplicably felt a sense of fulfillment in his heart, as if he was fuller.

Sure enough, this is useful for the Transcendent Seed. So, the power of the blessed land during the baptism of the mysterious law may also be the same...

The baptism of the mysterious method can at most create a quasi-alien soul or a quasi-alien body, but the seed he obtained from the Tianming Sect's Ascension Palace, if fully mature, can undergo a complete transformation and sublimation.

That's wonderful.

Gradually, Zhou Qing's mind became a little dazed, and all his thoughts began to fade away. He fell into a state of emptiness, as if he had ascended into the sky, floating in the air. All his thoughts became blurred and he lost his accurate perception.

This is the normal reaction of refining the power of snow spring. Under the influence of the power of snow spring, the practitioner will fall into such a hazy state, as if time in the outside world is flying by.

It is for this reason that barriers appear on the surface of whirlpools and tornadoes to protect those inside from harm.

Because people who are soaking in the snow spring at this time have no ability to resist.

But that's not entirely true for Zhou Qing.

His real blood puppet was still placed outside and had not been guarded.

It’s not that I don’t trust Jiang Ling, but we should not have the intention to harm others, and we must be on guard against others.

Jiang Ling observed Zhou Qing and the other for a while, and seeing that they were refining the power of the snow spring normally, she also found a place and began to practice meditation.

Although she has soaked in the snow spring three times and it is no longer useful, the power inside the vortex that can refine the soul and body will be even stronger. It will be beneficial for her to stay here and it will not be a waste of time.

As time passed, the originally colorful colors in the snow spring gradually faded, and a lot of the power inside was absorbed.

In return, Zhou Qing and Jiang Mi's aura increased significantly, becoming more powerful and profound.

It was night when the three entered the vortex, but the sun and the moon in the sky had already rotated once, and it was deep night again.

When the water in the snow spring where Zhou Qing was located became completely clear again, he also woke up from that hazy state.

After his senses were restored, Zhou Qing's first feeling was: full of strength! He checked his own condition. This time, soaking in the snow spring for a day and a night allowed him to refine nearly thirty bones to the perfect level!

This discovery made Zhou Qing happy.

This is one-third of the training content from the small success to the great success of bone refining! It saves a month of hard work, and it is really well-deserved. The effect is indeed extraordinary.

Of course, other warriors would not achieve such results or make such great progress after a month of hard work.

Zhou Qing now recalled the experience of refining the power of the snow spring just now, and found that the True Dragon Blood Soul Stone and the Nine Aperture Golden Pill were also unprecedentedly active just now, as if they were stimulated and released a large amount of energy that merged into Zhou Qing's body.

The combination of these three produced such an effect.

Therefore, if Jiang Mi soaked in the snow spring when he was in the bone refining stage, the results of his one month of hard work and Zhou Qing's one month would definitely be different. He could not compare with Zhou Qing, who was able to refine more than a dozen bones to perfection, which was already an outstanding result.

The surprises brought by this day and night were so great that Zhou Qing was now 100% sure that he could be promoted to the Great Accomplishment of Bone Refining before the mid-year ranking competition.

Even further, there is hope!

In the battle for ranking, he may be able to show his skills.

In addition to the progress in his cultivation, Zhou Qing also felt that his originally full energy suddenly became empty, and he could continue to absorb the energy of heaven and earth for transformation.

It was as if the upper limit of the total amount of energy had been raised out of thin air.

This means that Tianxia Snow Spring's ability to improve essence has also taken effect on Zhou Qing.

He carefully felt it and found that the upper limit of the total amount of energy in his body had increased by nearly 10%.

The increase in the energy limit is naturally only one aspect of the change.

"This means that the effect of Tianxia Snow Spring on me is less than 10%, which is below average. This is normal. After all, my body and soul are weird to begin with."

Zhou Qing thought to himself, "There are still some Transcendent Seeds. Although there are not many, they have indeed grown stronger. I just need to wait for the baptism of the Mystical Law to see if there can be any particularly obvious changes to these seeds."

The feeling of becoming stronger is so palpable and so wonderful.

Zhou Qing began to refine the energy between heaven and earth, replenish his true essence, and temper his body which obviously had more room for improvement.

At the same time, Zhou Qing also quietly logged into the Fairy Tree Secret Realm in the form of a projection.

I have been refining the power of the snow spring all day, and I haven't used up my physical strength yet, and it's already evening.

He had to use up his strength quickly while he was still in the snow spring, otherwise he would have no chance when he left the whirlpool and was in the harsh environment of the ice field.

No one knows when we can get out after we leave here, but we will definitely miss today's physical strength.

He was soaking in the snow spring, so even if he didn't move for the time being, Jiang Ling and the others wouldn't think there was anything wrong.

It's normal to have some insights that need to be digested after a great improvement in strength.

In the secret realm, Zhou Qing used up all ten points of his physical strength in succession, and quickly checked the treasures that had dropped this time.

[High-grade soul plant: Bingxinhua]

[Planted on ice and snow, cultivated with ice and snow treasures, it can breed Ice Heart Pearl when mature. After taking the Ice Heart Pearl, an ice heart will be born in the soul, which can stabilize the mind, not be startled by the world falling, and resist the inner demons.]

Very good stuff, this is obviously a treasure related to mood and emotions.

It just so happens that the top of Kunlun Mountain is also an ice and snow environment, which can be used to grow this ice heart flower.

[Earth-grade elixir: Twelve Ice Lotus Pill]

[After refining, a twelve-petal ice lotus can be forged in the body. The ice lotus can store twelve portions of one's entire mana. When one's mana is exhausted, one can directly use the mana of the ice lotus. The twelve-petal ice lotus is a one-time item. Every time a petal of mana is extracted, one petal of the ice lotus will wither.]

It is a very powerful elixir. As it involves magic power, it is obviously a magic elixir.

And twelve portions of mana, what does that mean? If you include one's own portion, that makes thirteen portions. In a battle, it can almost be described as endless, the kind that can never be used up.

The only downside is that this thing cannot be recycled.

[Earth-grade elixir: Ice Source Pill]

[After taking this pill, warriors who practice the Ice Dao technique can raise the icy attribute of their true essence to a higher level, making it even colder and more lethal.]

It is also a very good elixir, but it doesn’t match Zhou Qing.

But among the items dropped today, there are quite a lot of ice-attributed ones. Is this an ice-attributed special? Brother Shu, you really know how to read the environment.

[Strange Item: Smoothie]

[Ice crystals like gravel, no different from ordinary ice crystals on the outside, can be marked with a spiritual imprint, and can make the sandy ice explode with a single thought, with extremely terrifying power]

“…”

Looking at the shaved ice in the ball of light, Zhou Qing remained silent.

These are a bunch of bombs dropped, and they are bombs of unique styles.

But the name of this strange thing, Sha Bing...

It doesn't feel like a good thing to say.

[Rare Item: Ice Bear Bone]

[The Ice Bear Spirit Bone contains a magical power inside. It can be fused with one's own bones to cause the bones to be alienated. If you get close to the Ice Bear, you can use the magical power in the bone. After fusing with this bone, you will have some beastman characteristics.]

Zhou Qing was silenced by this strange object.

Ice bear spirit bones?

Are you sure you didn't choose the wrong name?

Although the style of this strange object is a bit weird, it is undeniable that it is indeed a good thing.

Being able to master even more powerful powers, the price is just the alienation of one's own bones and the acquisition of a few beastman characteristics, which is really insignificant.

Weakness and alienation, which side will you choose? It's obvious.

But Zhou Qing would definitely not use this kind of thing.

These strange objects have an upper limit. Their fusion now may bring Zhou Qing considerable power, but they will eventually come to an end one day in the future.

This kind of fusion of spiritual bones and alienation of oneself, in Zhou Qing's opinion, means polluting his own origin.

Zhou Qing still hopes to maintain his human body and continue to live a clean and pure life.

The main reason is that he has no shortage of means to improve his strength.

[Strange Item: Dumb Butterfly]

[The body of a mysterious creature transformed after death, with power infused into it, will release the Mute Butterfly Domain. All things and creatures within the domain except you will be unable to make any sound.]

What is the Dumb Butterfly Realm? It’s obviously the Dumb Realm!

As for vocal skills, to put it simply, it is about who has the loudest voice.

But in the realm of dumb butterflies, you can't even make a sound, so what's the point of using sound?

[Strange Item: Butterfly Killer]

[The body of a mysterious creature transformed after death, with power infused into it, will release the Butterfly-Exterminating Field. All things and creatures in the field except you will be attacked by indiscriminate destructive power.]

"Interesting, are these two types of butterflies related?"

Zhou Qing looked at the two butterfly corpses with some interest, "Dumb butterfly, exterminating butterfly..."

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Zhou Qing fiercely punched the immortal tree.

You're doing these unethical things, right? Brother Shu, Brother Shu, I really misjudged you! [Strange Item: Monkey God]

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

[The divine will of the ape can be integrated with one's own soul, and possess the abilities and characteristics of apes]

It was exactly the same thing as the Ice Bear Spirit Bone. Zhou Qing just took a look at it and was sure that he would not fuse it.

Zhou Qing could accept using the Wanhua characteristic to transform from human to ape.

But he couldn't accept the state of being neither human nor ape.

No artifacts or talismans were dropped this time, and most of the other items were relatively common, with only one divine material of decent quality.

[Divine Material: Ice Dragon Tendon]

[The Ice Dragon's main tendons at the Yin God's third transformation level have endless uses]

It's so cruel. He even pulled out the tendons.

Oh, this is the original power of the fairy tree, so it’s okay.

However, if any dragon saw this tendon in Zhou Qing's hand, it would probably cause some trouble.

Although the dragon clan is divided into many categories, they are all of the same clan after all. It is certain that when they see the tendons of their own clan in the hands of a foreign clan, they will have some thoughts in their minds.

But Zhou Qing was wronged.

Put the treasures dropped today in the secret realm first. It is not convenient to take them out at this time.

After exiting the secret realm and regaining consciousness, Zhou Qing immediately left the snow spring that had been drained dry.

He looked at Jiang Mi, who was full of energy and had changed significantly.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Jiang for his great improvement."

"Hahaha." Jiang Mi laughed, "I'm happy for you. My junior brother's gains are much greater than mine."

"The most important thing we have done this time when entering Luoxia Icefield is already done. We will be much freer in our activities from now on."

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked out of the snow spring. After they left, the vortex of sky clouds and the ice and snow tornado that gathered here slowly separated.

Then the two snow springs, one big and one small, were filled up by the wind and snow and disappeared.

By this time next year, the snow spring will appear in other places. The location is not fixed every year.

But after a long time, there will definitely be repetition.

"I was so anxious to soak in the snow spring that I forgot to ask one thing."

As Zhou Qing walked, he asked, "What's the situation with the Tiantu tribe?"

Jiang Ling answered first: "The Tiantu tribe is one of the kings of the barbarians. They are very powerful and are the real high-level of the barbarians."

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's actually Wang's tribe, no wonder Naraga is so arrogant."

Although he had never heard of the Tiantu tribe before, he still had some understanding of the internal organizational structure of the barbarians after coming to Hanzhou.

The most supreme and authoritative place among the barbarians is the Barbarian Royal Court.

The barbarian high priest and the barbarian king both sit in the royal court, which is equivalent to where the emperor sits in the human kingdom.

Moreover, the human race was divided into three kingdoms, but the barbarians were united as a whole, and all the barbarian tribes respected the royal court.

One can imagine the status and authority there within the barbarians.

Command the barbarians and be supreme.

Second only to the barbarian royal court is the barbarian royal tribe.

The royal palaces are located around the royal court, guarding it and spreading the king's glory.

The leaders of the royal tribes are also called kings among the barbarians. Although their status is lower than that of the barbarian king, they also have the title of king.

For example, the Tiantu King Tribe, the king of this tribe is the Tiantu King, and the high priest of this tribe is the Tiantu priest.

The high priest of the royal court and the barbarian king do not need to add any prefix before their titles, which means that they are the high priest and king of the entire barbarian tribe.

From this point we can see the strength and status of the royal department. They are highly respected. They are not inferior to anyone else, but lower than the barbarians, lower than the high priest and the current barbarian king who can represent the barbarians.

If the current Barbarian King abdicates, then the old Barbarian King's status will be equal to that of other kings of various royal tribes, and he will no longer be higher than other kings as he was when he was in power.

Even if something goes wrong with the barbarians of the royal court, the royal tribe is qualified to take over the royal court.

The royal court, the center of the kings, the royal court of the kings.

The famous Council of Kings of the Barbarians can only be attended by the kings and the major priests, and it can decide the fate of the Barbarians.

Every king and every high priest of the royal tribe are top masters in the world, and they are the best among the best in Tongtian Realm and Biluo Realm.

But if a top-notch Bi Luo Tong Tian realm person is born in a non-royal tribe, the tribe he comes from is still not qualified to be called a royal tribe.

The Barbarian Kingship represents bloodline and a long-standing heritage, which cannot be determined by a strong person unless you continuously produce large numbers of masters.

Of course, the masters in the fairyland are an exception.

If a barbarian tribe produces a master from the fairyland, no matter whether he is from the royal tribe or not, if he is a soul fairy, he can directly take over the position of high priest; if he is a martial arts fairy, then he can directly enter the royal court.

The lineage he belongs to can directly replace the current royal court lineage, and then be passed down in the royal court until the next martial arts immortal is born, or until something unexpected happens, and then it can be replaced by others.

The former royal court lineage left the royal court and established their own royal tribe.

This is the origin of the barbarian royal court. Their ancestors must have been immortals.

As for the high priest, this position is not inherited by blood, but has other mysterious meanings and is very complicated, involving the fundamental secrets of the barbarians.

This is a position more important than the Barbarian King.

The descendants of the Barbarian King can become the Barbarian King, but the descendants of the high priest may not.

Under the barbarian kings are the barbarian generals.

The kings are high above, and the generals are actually responsible for the specific command and governance of the barbarians. Many barbarian affairs are generally decided by the generals.

If an attack is to be launched on human territory, the decision is usually made by the king's department, and the generals are responsible for implementation, leading the army and active on the front line.

Below the general part are the upper part, the middle part and the lower part.

These three levels of tribes have strict hierarchies and obvious differences in strength.

The entire barbarian tribe blatantly believes in the natural law of the survival of the fittest.

The human race is actually the same, but at least they still put on a coat, while the barbarians don't even pretend.

In Zhou Qing's opinion, the internal structure of the barbarians is somewhat similar to the feudal system, but because the upper tribes have absolute power to suppress, such feudal system is extremely solid and there is no need to worry about the lower tribes causing chaos.

It directly solved most of the drawbacks of the feudal system.

The barbarians are very powerful. What they covet is not Da Qi, but the entire human race.

From this point, we can see what level the strength of the barbarians below the fairyland is. If they dared to covet the human race without the strength to match their ambitions, they would have been beaten to the royal court long ago.

Of course, between humans and barbarians, humans are definitely stronger, there is no doubt about that.

"Tiantu Royal Tribe, if we meet on the battlefield in the future, I want to see how powerful this so-called royal family is."

The three figures disappeared in the wind and snow.

After leaving the snow spring, the three of them rushed outside.

It was not until the early morning that a sound of rapid breaking through the air was heard, attracting the attention of Zhou Qing and others.

Turning around, I saw a streak of light flying quickly from afar, ignoring the various dangers in the ice field.

"Is that... Hu Fei?"

The previously calm and elegant disciple of the Jibing Sect was now in an extremely embarrassed and miserable state, with no composure at all, and was fleeing madly.

The several disciples of the Xie family who were with him were nowhere to be found at this moment.

Jiang Mi was puzzled, "Did he encounter a powerful beast?"

But Zhou Qing's expression became solemn.

Something is wrong.
