Chapter 187 How wonderful is this world of Eternal Ice Heart?
How wonderful is this world? So wonderful that she could have ascended to become an immortal at the age of a thousand.
But she dragged it on for two thousand years just to travel and explore in the human world!
After coming into contact with humans, she found their methods dazzling, and the various skills they mastered amazed her.
Not only can she eat spiritual fruits, wear fox fur, but she can also cast all kinds of magical spells... Everything about it makes her, a "little fox girl" who grew up on the glacier and played with ice and fox cubs, yearn for it.
And it just so happened that not long after she came out, it was the day when the aristocratic family recruited new members. She was ignorant and went to sign up happily to participate in the competition.
With his extremely flexible body and good concealment, he fought all the way to the end and successfully joined the Wei family. With his excellent qualifications, he became the key training target of the Wei family.
In the Wei family, she received the best education and gradually realized that she was a human being, not a real snow fox.
This made her curious about her own life experience. For those who practice Taoism, bloodline tracing is a relatively common technique, and the Wei family has it.
Not long after, she discovered that she was a member of the Wang family. When she went to look for them, the Wang family was stunned.
At that time, their child clearly had water spiritual roots, so why did it become ice spiritual roots? But blood cannot be deceived.
When the elders of the Wei family found out, they immediately sent people to Hanchuan to investigate, but they found nothing. They only vaguely found that there should have been an Eternal Ice Heart here, but it was taken away by someone.
But the Eternal Ice Heart alone is not enough to transform the water spiritual roots into ice spiritual roots. This is not a simple upgrade of the spiritual roots by cleansing the bones and marrow.
Mutation requires specific conditions, and the Eternal Ice Heart cannot be swallowed directly, and long-term contact will not achieve these results.
So after a careful investigation, they discovered that the formation set up by the previous cultivator contained traces of wood spirit crystals and the Five Elements Formation.
If the Five Elements Formation is set up using the Five Elements Spirit Crystals and combined with the Eternal Ice Heart, it might actually have the effect of allowing the water spirit roots to mutate into ice spirit roots.
However, the Five Elements Spirit Crystal is extremely precious, at least more valuable than the Snow Fox. Who would do this?
So they speculated that the wood spirit crystal was originally buried deep here, and the cultivator did not discover it, and happened to set up a five-element formation on it to create an environment for the growth of spiritual plants.
This formation just happened to absorb the energy of the Wood Spirit Crystal, and combined with the Eternal Ice Heart, it produced a magical effect.
Of course, these are just speculations, and very unlikely ones at that, after all, they are too much of a coincidence.
After all, no one has ever seen the Eternal Ice Heart, it's just a guess based on the environment.
The traces of the Wood Spirit Crystal and the Five Elements Formation were not obvious either, but apart from these, there were no other conditions that could cause the spiritual roots to mutate.
In this way, this is just a piece of writing, recorded in the Wei family's miscellaneous records, and everyone just regards it as a story. Compared to this, they would rather believe that Wang Hanxue actually has a mutated ice spiritual root, but she was just born and the spiritual root has not yet stabilized, so the water spiritual root that appears on the outside is just an illusion.
Xu Hui originally thought so, but when she knew that there was the Eternal Ice Heart here, she inexplicably wanted to give it a try.
She couldn't explain why, but she just felt that it was necessary to give it a try.
The monk's sudden premonition is definitely not a casual thought, perhaps it will be of great use later!
Anyway, she is not short of Five Elements Spirit Crystals now, so why not just follow her heart?
After she successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, she not only obtained 400 points, but also obtained five elements spirit crystals, two of each type.
Not only can she arrange the Five Elements Formation to help herself comprehend the Tao, but she also has an extra copy, which is perfect for trying to guess whether it is true.
Xu Hui looked at Venerable Lotus, struggling over how to start.
Should I exchange something with the Venerable for the Eternal Ice Heart, or should I cooperate directly?
If it really succeeds and the water spiritual root is transformed into an ice spiritual root, there is no need to monopolize it. The entire Wei family, including the affiliated families, has only three single water spiritual roots.
Among them there is a Venerable who is in the out-of-body stage. It is really unnecessary to ask her to change to the ice system now.
The speed of cultivating a single water spiritual root is not slower than that of an ice spiritual root. The only difference is that ice spiritual roots are extremely rare, and there are only two people in the entire cultivation world who possess them.
Venerable Mo Han, a Mahayana cultivator who is about to ascend, and Venerable Mo He, a peak-level Spirit Severing cultivator who is only one step away.
They are twin brothers with equally outstanding talents, but Venerable Mo He lost to his brother in nutrition during pregnancy, which resulted in some wasted time in nurturing his body in the early stages, and his cultivation is one step slower than his brother, but he is also about to become a Mahayana cultivator.
Apart from this, there is no third ice-type spiritual root in the entire cultivation world.
But Xu Hui felt for some reason that the world of cultivation needed cultivators with ice spiritual roots, and the more the better.
The Wei family only has three cultivators with single water spiritual roots, and they have nothing to do with Duo.
So... she looked at Venerable Lotus silently, it is better to cooperate!
Venerable Lotus naturally felt her scrutiny and after a moment's thought, he understood what she meant. "You want the Eternal Ice Heart?"
Xu Hui nodded and shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and decided to express this premonition.
Venerable Lotus was surprised at first, then looked at her carefully, pinched his fingers and made a careful deduction, then put his hands down after a while, "I can't figure it out."
Xu Hui was surprised, "Yes, really?"
Could her premonition be wrong?
Venerable Lotus is a Mahayana cultivator, so he shouldn't have made a wrong deduction. I guess she made a mistake...right?
But Venerable Lotus clearly didn't think so. He suddenly asked, "Did you receive Taoist Qingshizi's 'Heavenly Blessings, Word Spirit Blessings'?"
Although it was a question, she said it with great certainty.
Xu Hui was slightly surprised, but then she understood. Mu Yuan, as the male protagonist, was a very perceptive person and must have noticed it long ago.
Although she never said anything, it was a fact that her luck became exceptionally good after entering the secret realm. If someone noticed it, they would be able to guess it almost exactly.
Besides, she and Wei Mubai had never seriously concealed it. Firstly, some opportunities could not be concealed. Secondly, Wei Mubai wanted to take the opportunity to make people wary of her. She was protected by the Word Spirit, and it would not be easy for any conspiracy against her to succeed. So it was better not to have any ulterior motives, so as not to end up losing more than what you gain.
So unless it is a great opportunity, other people will also consider the consequences that are unfavorable to her.
In this case, it is natural for Mu Yuan to notice it.
Xu Hui nodded, "That's right."
"Then you can't be wrong," Venerable Lotus's expression grew serious for a moment, then relaxed again, smiling. "Since you have this premonition, it means you still have a long way to go. This crisis will definitely turn out well!"
But Xu Hui doesn't have such a good attitude. Is it her who can turn the danger into safety, or is it others who can help?
In the novel, the protagonist is indeed in danger everywhere, but he can always turn the crisis around. However, the people around him are not necessarily the same. They are either dead or injured, or even wiped out.
Xu Hui didn't know whether she would be treated like the protagonist now that she had the protection of the Word Spirit.
But she didn't want this to happen. With so many people present, how would she feel if she was the only one who survived?
Xu Hui lowered her eyes and made up her mind that no matter what, the problem of the Netherworld Cold Flame must be solved!
We cannot allow cultivators from the outside world to face the threat of the mythical beast Qilin while also worrying about being affected by the Seal of Ghosts and Gods.
Taking a deep breath, she smiled and said, "Where is the Eternal Ice Heart? Why can't I see it?"
I looked around but couldn't find the heart-shaped ice crystal. Where is it hiding?
“It’s right before our eyes,” said the Lotus Master with a smile.
Xu Hui was stunned. Could it be that she didn't look carefully enough and missed it?
He hurriedly looked around again, but after looking everywhere, apart from the ice, he really didn't see anything that matched the description in the hazy fog.
Wait, she suddenly discovered that the large lake in the center of the ice room was a little strange. Its shape...
"That's right, it's the lake in front of you!" said Venerable Lotus.
Xu Hui was shocked, "Isn't it ice crystal?"
"It's an ice crystal, but it was affected by the Netherworld Cold Flame and melted into ice water," said Venerable Lotus with a smile.
"Wait," Xu Hui didn't understand. "The Netherworld Frost Flame is a cold flame, so its temperature should be very low."
Let’s put it this way, the Netherworld Cold Flame itself has an icy attribute. Except for spirits, all other living beings can feel the biting cold.
The Eternal Ice Heart is colder than it, so it can seal it. In this case, how can it turn from ice crystals into ice water?
Seeing her puzzled expression, Venerable Lotus raised an eyebrow, "Don't you think Ice Crystal is colder than Ice Heart?"
"Isn't it?" Xu Hui blurted out, isn't this common sense?
Venerable Lotus wondered why she thought so. "Of course not. You should know that ice crystals can only condense in ice water. The Millennium Ice Heart was born from the ice lake. When it becomes cold enough, it will gradually turn into ice water..."
Xu Hui: ...
Should I know this? Doesn't this seem counterintuitive?
Logically speaking, shouldn't ice water freeze into ice when its temperature is low enough? Why is it the other way around?
Unable to figure it out, she could only laugh dryly, "Well, I really don't understand."
Venerable Lotus nodded in understanding, "Don't worry about it. Ordinary ice water is like that. It's just that the thousand-year-old ice heart is different. It's even colder."
Xu Hui nodded thoughtfully. Could it be that the temperature was lower and the properties were reversed?
I don't know if there's any scientific reason for this, but anyway, since we're all cultivating immortality, some things that go against common sense are... normal, right?
I don't understand, but I can accept it.
"Then what should we do with this icy lake?" Since this entire lake was formed from the Eternal Ice Heart, what should she do to take it away?
"I heard that the Wei family's planting space is in your hands?" Venerable Lotus asked with a raised eyebrow.
Xu Hui was shocked and immediately shook her head, "No, no, the Eternal Ice Heart is too powerful. My space can't withstand it."
There are a lot of good things planted in it. If she puts Wan Gu Bing Xin in, they will all be frozen to death soon. She can't bear to do that.
Venerable Lotus was surprised. "Can't you create a separate space to isolate the Eternal Ice Heart from affecting other areas?"
"Is it possible to do this?" Xu Hui was even more surprised. Is there such a thing?
"That's exactly what Wei Lengyi did," Venerable Lotus explained. "She's a violent person. She completely squandered the cultivation space. She didn't grow anything, but simply opened up independent spaces to imprison the various high-level spiritual beasts she collected. There were always fights going on without her even leaving her house."
Xu Hui: ...What a unique female cultivator!
Wei Leng was also the great-aunt of the head of the Wei family and the previous owner of the planting space, but before she ascended, she terminated the contract and handed it over to the head of the Wei family.
Xu Hui had been wondering why it was empty and had nothing planted inside if it had an owner.
Now she understood that if she raised high-level spiritual beasts in the space and the spiritual plants were eaten by them, what would be left?
This operation is absolutely amazing!
No wonder she didn't ascend with the space. The spiritual beasts in the world of cultivation are useless in the fairy world and can't be used as thugs at all.
As for the fairy world...haha, there are fights aplenty. It is said that there are battlefields that last for tens of thousands of years and never stop, so she really doesn't need a spirit beast to practice with her.
Xu Hui couldn't help but sigh: My aunt is really unique!
