67 Tempest Wolf

A castle completely made out of opaque blue ice on a cliffside of a mountain, blue ice pillars carved with the murals of phoenixes and dragons, reindeer and wolves.

Entering into the castle one would enter the hallway whose ceiling looked as if a mirror was fixed there, but it was just the perfectly carved ice.

The hallway led to the middle of the ice castle where a transparent film of ice was atop a pool of water inside.

A hand suddenly emerged from inside the pool and grabbed the edge of the ice layer.

Rudra jumped out from the pool of pristine blue water inside the ice and clothed himself.

"Ho, It really helped in cultivating the Ice Qi," Rudra said as he put on his outer robe which was white in color.

"I need to get to the middle of Qi condensation of I want to be able to leave the sect," Rudra said.

Rudra had promised to Iclyn that he would join the sect on the condition that she would allow him to leave the sect for some months.

He planned to utilize these months finishing the recruitment drive Rishi had planned at the western part of the continent.

But she planned to accompany him the whole time to make sure he would not run away.

"At least, she would use her Spiritual Flying Ship to travel," Rudra said.

Rudra sat on the edge of the pool on the ice sheet and circulated the Ice phoenix Qi which was now at the early Qi condensation stage.

The Cracked mountain, the terrapin, and the Timingila were all present inside his Dantian surrounded by the foundations for the Verdant Mountain Qi, Abyss Water Qi, and the Desolate Metal Qi.

His demon heart was once again accessible to him he could use both the Yaksha Wood Qi and the Marauder Earth Qi.

His attention was attracted to the golden heart where two new Qi's were present inside a red core the Heavenly Fire and the Nether Lightning Qi.

Looking at his three Immortal Spirits Rudra suddenly had a brazen idea. Could he awaken another Immortal Spirit for this new body?

Rudra considered suggesting the idea to his new master who had not returned to meet him since she had forced him to cultivate in this castle.

Rudra calmed his emotions as he activated the Omniscient Eye technique, he had reached the peak of the first layer of this technique cultivating it made one's mental energy stronger and purer cleansed one of their demons and negative thoughts.

"Truly a fantastic technique," Rudra commented.

When Rudra was engrossed in cultivating his mental strength when Iclyn floated inside the castle landing on the ice sheet just beside him. Rudra opened his eyes to look at her.

"Here take this you are a wind Qi cultivator from now on, and make sure to hide the cultivation of your Ice Qi," Iclyn said as she handed him a manual.

"Tempest Wolf Qi." Rudra read the cover of the Manual.

"I had to get this from my friends from the Eastern continent, you should be thankful," Iclyn proudly said.

"Umm, Thank you."

"So you do have some ethics, now show me your cultivation state."

Rudra complied as he showed the Qi condensation 3rd stage cultivation.

"You are already at the door of the middle of Qi condensation, It looks like I would have to make that trip early," Iclyn said.

"I want to try awakening an Immortal Spirit," Rudra said as he peered into the blue eyes of Iclyn.

"Hmph, you should be thankful that you have me as your disciple," Iclyn said as she flew off.

"Don't forget your promise!" Rudra reminded her as she left.

Rudra flipped through the Wind Manual in his hand and started cultivating it.

The water-like moonlight shrouded over the ice castle where Rudra was cultivating bathing in the Qi which dazzled around him.

"Finally the 1st stage of Tempest Wolf Qi," Rudra said as he exhaled out a breath of foul air.

Rudra stood up and looked at Iclyn who was also cultivating opposite to him, his movements caused her to exit her trance.

She nodded her head as she stood up as if approving of his progress. "Come let's go!" She said as she grabbed him and flew towards the old manor.

Rudra, Eira, and Iclyn sat beside the stone table, enjoying the fresh bloom of the flowers, and were leisurely talking to each other. The lights lit up the garden and gave it a dreamy and magical atmosphere.

"I can't believe it…" Eira softly shook her head still in disbelief at the fact that her sister had accepted Rudra as her disciple.

"Will you teach him to sculpt golems too sister?" Eira asked her sister, piquing the interest of Rudra who was hushed till now in the conversation between the sisters.

"Sculpting ice?" Rudra looked at them as if looking for an explanation.

"Oh didn't you know my sister is the best ice sculptor there is, she can carve such sculpture that the spirits of the earth choose to inhabit them turning them into ice golems."

Rudra realized the golems that had ganged up on him and kicked his ass were the creation of this 'master' of his.

"Oh! I would love to learn that." Rudra hastily added while thinking inside. 'Finally, I can learn a profession that is effective.' Rudra dreamed of a majestic ice golem army following behind him.
