When Bingluan saw the sword fall so obediently into Leng Yuexi's hands, she breathed a huge sigh of relief. She had really been worried that something unexpected might happen.
Holding the sword, Leng Yuexi felt a sense of having lost it and found it again. This sword had always belonged to her, and that feeling of spiritual connection had returned.
This sword is called the Frost Divine Sword. Its entire body is transparent, as if it were carved from ancient ice, and it exudes a terrifying cold light.
Leng Yuexi also saw a very cute little girl with delicate features.
The other person was staring at her with pleading eyes, as if they had suffered a great injustice.
She is the spirit of this precious sword, Xiao Shuang.
Xiao Shuang's childish voice rang out, "Master, you're finally here! I couldn't take it anymore if you didn't come soon."
Leng Yuexi immediately asked, "What's wrong? Weren't you perfectly fine here?"
Xiao Shuang shook her head in distress.
"No, if I could stay put, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to call you."
I have been recovering from my previous injuries, and the energy I have accumulated is barely enough. However, without my master's nurturing and help, I am starting to lose control of the power of this Frost Sword.
Once this extremely cold power spreads out, all my efforts over the years will not only be wasted, but I will also suffer a backlash.
This energy is very helpful for both me and my master's improvement, so I can't waste it like this.
Master, can you feel the unusual chill around you? This is what's causing the chill to spread uncontrollably. If it were to erupt all at once, who knows how many casualties it would cause.
This will attract attention, which is a serious problem.
Leng Yuexi then understood why the cold air was so intense; it turned out that it was condensed and compressed by the Frost Sword before being released.
She asked curiously, "But you're perfectly fine now, aren't you? You even managed to retract some of the cold energy."
Xiao Shuang shook her head bitterly, "This is only temporary. I only suppressed it because I saw that Master's cultivation level was too low to even get close. This situation won't last long."
Leng Yuexi frowned upon hearing this. No wonder she felt such a strong call; it turned out they were asking her for help.
But she's only at the Nascent Soul stage, how can she help Xiaoshuang?
Leng Yuexi asked, "Xiao Shuang, how long can this situation last?"
Xiao Shuang responded, "Before, I could last for one or two months on my own, but now with my owner's help, I can last for three or four months."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexi frowned even more, unable to think of a solution for a moment. She asked Xiao Shuang, "Xiao Shuang, is there any way to solve this now?"
Xiao Shuang nodded and explained:
"Some masters, the Frost Sword currently stores a large amount of energy, and it does not truly belong to us yet."
We just need to digest it and make it our own, which will be of great benefit to us.
I called my master here to ask for his help in utilizing this energy, but I didn't expect his cultivation level to be so low. This is a bit difficult.
This energy was extracted very purely through the Frost Sword, but it's a bit too much for you right now. Forcing its absorption would cause great pain.
After hearing Xiaoshuang's explanation, Leng Yuexi understood the situation.
In order to restore the Frost Sword, Xiao Shuang kept accumulating energy using the Frost Sword. However, as the energy increased, she lost control of it, feeling like a child swinging a sledgehammer.
But she couldn't bear to waste it, so she called for Leng Yuexi to come and help.
This will be helpful to both of them.
What she needs to do now is help Xiaoshuang digest this enormous amount of energy.
"Xiao Shuang, let's give it a try. I also need to improve my strength, so I'm fine with enduring some hardship."
Xiao Shuang hesitated, "Master, I raised this energy level too high, and it's something I'm familiar with. I'm afraid it might freeze you instantly."
Leng Yuexi did not change her mind, "Let's give it a try, and we'll see if it doesn't work."
Seeing that Leng Yuexi was determined, Xiaoshuang didn't try to persuade her further. "Alright, Master, shall we begin now?"
Leng Yuexi nodded to her, "Wait a moment, I'll tell Xiao Luan so she won't worry."
Seeing that Leng Yuexi stood quietly after receiving the Frost Divine Sword, Bingluan did not disturb her. She knew that this was a sword with a spirit, and that they must be communicating with each other.
Leng Yuexi said to Bingluan, who was waiting, "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
Bingluan shook her head. "It's alright. How was it? Did it go smoothly?"
Leng Yuexi explained briefly, "It went relatively smoothly, but there are some issues that need to be addressed. I need to cultivate here for a while."
Bingluan nodded, "Then I'll protect you."
Leng Yuexi shook her head. "I'm afraid that won't work. I'm worried that the cold air will affect you. She recognizes me as her master and won't harm me. You can just wait for me outside."
Leng Yuexi said this for two main reasons: one was that she couldn't control the cold energy, and the other was that she didn't know if Bingluan had other intentions.
Bingluan said with some concern, "Sister, can you stand being here alone? It took us a lot of effort to get in!"
Leng Yuexi patted the Frost Sword. "With its help now, I'm fine."
Bingluan was relieved. "Alright, I'll stay in the Ice Palace. Just call me if you need anything, sister."
Seeing Bing Luan leave, Leng Yuexi no longer hesitated, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and immediately began to cultivate.
This was also a good opportunity for her, as she was troubled by not being able to keep up with Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was already at the King Realm, while she was only at the Nascent Soul stage. This huge difference in cultivation made her feel like a decorative vase next to Qin Feng.
Leng Yuexi knew the cruelty of the cultivation world. She didn't want to experience the kind of difficulties she was powerless to overcome. She wanted to improve her cultivation and strength to keep up with Qin Feng.
"Xiao Shuang, let's begin."
Xiao Shuang agreed, "Master, I'll guide you a little bit first, you can try it first."
"good."
Xiao Shuang released a small amount of energy stored in the Frost Divine Sword.
Leng Yuexi felt the rich and pure energy and was very happy, but when she felt the bone-chilling cold, her body couldn't help but tremble.
Although she also used ice-attribute techniques, the extreme cold was still unbearable for her; it was just too cold.
Xiao Shuang immediately sensed Leng Yuexi's physical reaction and asked with some concern:
"Master, are you alright? If you can't take it, we'll think of something else."
Leng Yuexi did not answer at this moment, but slowly introduced this pure energy into her body and began to absorb and refine it.
She refined a small amount of energy and could feel the change in her cultivation level; this gain was truly immense.
Leng Yuexi was overjoyed; this torment no longer seemed so painful, and she could bear it.
"Xiao Shuang, continue guiding slowly. I'm fine. As my cultivation improves, I can help you more, and the time I can maintain this state will continue to increase until I completely digest this energy."
Xiao Shuang looked at Leng Yuexi with some heartache, but still obediently did as she was told.
And so, Leng Yuexi began her arduous cultivation in this ice palace and ice cave.
The effect was remarkable; her cultivation level steadily increased.
