Li Yao sat cross-legged on the carpet in the living room and took out some level 6 crystal cores and some level 7 crystal cores.
She planned to upgrade her mental ability first, as she used it more and was more proficient with it than other abilities. In fact, she could easily reach level 7 with a little effort, but she kept thinking about accumulating it first, so she kept compressing her ability energy. Now, her level 6 foundation is more solid.
Li Yao sat cross-legged and began absorbing the crystal cores. She felt her body getting slightly warm, her mind becoming clear, and she felt completely comfortable. After absorbing three level 6 and one level 7 mental ability crystal cores, she steadily advanced to the mid-level of level 7.
But she felt it wasn't enough, so she drank another cup of spiritual spring water, placed the giant water lily, red lotus, and lotus flower in front of her, and began to expand her sea of consciousness, constantly compressing and condensing her spiritual power. She also began to meditate, using her spiritual power to "see" outwards. In this way, she continued to condense, compress, and replenish her power. With the help of the fragrance of flowers and the spiritual spring, Li Yao upgraded her spiritual power to the peak of level 8 after 3 days, using 6 level 7 and 2 level 8 spiritual crystal cores.
After resting for half an afternoon, Li Yao felt she had gained some insights into upgrading her superpowers, so she decided not to waste this rare opportunity. She closed the Invisibility House, opened the Teleportation Portal, and brought 6834 and Dazhuang back to the island they had previously visited. It was very hot there, with temperatures nearing 40 degrees Celsius.
Li Yao placed the house on the beach where the tide wouldn't come in, and began to condense and compress her ice-type supernatural power. She continuously used it to cool herself down while also cooling down the surrounding area, thus turning herself into a portable air conditioner. However, most supernatural beings wouldn't do this because it consumes a lot of supernatural power, but Li Yao wasn't afraid of the consumption.
She kept compressing, condensing, consuming, and replenishing the spiritual spring water, staying on the island for half a month. Her ice-type ability was upgraded to the peak of level 8 before she prepared to leave.
Li Yao felt that upgrading her superpowers wasn't so difficult after all. The system quipped, "[Host, is this what you humans call Versailles? Right? Right? Host, choosing to upgrade your mental superpowers first was the right decision. Mental superpowers will increase mental strength, so when upgrading other superpowers, your mental strength will be highly focused, and your sea of consciousness can accommodate more energy surges. Mental superpowers and your ancient martial arts techniques, one assisting the mental core and the other assisting physical strength, with both internal and external cultivation, other superpowers are just a matter of how much energy they have. We have enough crystal cores, so upgrading other superpowers is naturally not a problem.]"
Li Yao agreed. After all, for other superhumans to level up, it was difficult to find crystal cores one level higher than their own, which limited many people. It was just like martial arts in ancient times. In the end, none of those who could master high-level martial arts were poor, since body-forging herbs, weapons, and techniques were all extremely expensive.
After leaving the island, Li Yao planned to train her fire-based abilities, which required a trip to the Arctic.
On the Arctic glacier, after Li Yao set up her invisible house, she filled the swimming pool in the living room with hot spring water and poured in several buckets of spiritual spring water, then soaked her whole body in the pool.
She will still hone her abilities in the same way as with ice-type abilities, but she plans to use her abilities to heat the water in the hot spring and keep it at around 40 degrees Celsius.
The main problem is that fire-type abilities are really drying, and there's an ice glacier right beneath her feet. She doesn't want to find the ice glacier melting after she levels up, so she'd rather build a hot spring and "cook herself in an iron pot."
Li Yao spent two months on the Arctic glacier, during which she saw penguins, polar bears, and the aurora borealis, and even caught some Arctic-specific sweet shrimp and seafood. Before leaving, she also upgraded her fire-type ability to level 8, the peak of the level.
Now her mental power can cover a radius of 50 kilometers. The same goes for ice and fire magic. The "Freezing a Thousand Miles" skill can truly freeze a radius of 50 kilometers instantly, indistinguishable from humans and animals, turning everything into ice sculptures. Don't ask, just know that Li Yao has tried it.
The same applies to fire; the highest temperature of flames is similar to that of magma.
Li Yao left the Arctic in mid-August. Before leaving, she had the system check the situation in other places. Currently, the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing high temperatures of summer, the Southern Hemisphere's polar regions are frozen, and the equator experiences fluctuating temperatures, with the climate being unpredictable.
Taking China as an example, the highest temperature in the capital reached 48 degrees Celsius, and the coastal areas also reached 38-45 degrees Celsius. Without air conditioning, one can imagine how people's lives would be.
After all, people used to die from heatstroke when the highest temperature was only 42 degrees Celsius, and that was with air conditioning, fans, and popsicles. Now, the situation is probably really serious.
Li Yao thought about it and decided on summer retreats, such as mountains or the far north.
So Li Yao finally decided to go to Changbai Mountain to escape the summer heat.
