Chapter 22 - Mystic Ice Technique

Chapter 22 Mystic Ice Technique

Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her beautiful face was cold. It was Yan Bingxuan.

She was carrying a school bag and a book in her hand. When she walked into the library, she bumped into Chen Mobai. Her head tilted slightly as if she was very surprised.

“I forgot my textbook. I came here to borrow

it.”

After Yan Bingxuan heard this, she looked at the Five Elements Technique book in his hand. Her clear eyes narrowed slightly in confusion.

Didn’t the teachers already finish teaching this basic cultivation technique in the first year of high school?

However, Yan Bingxuan had no intention of probing into Chen Mobai’s words. She raised her snow-white and round chin and nodded gently in response. Then, she walked past him and stood in front of the female teacher who was in charge of borrowing.

“Hello, I’ve come to return a book.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Mobai turned around and saw the book she had returned.

It was titled “Frost Condensation Technique”!

It was a cultivation technique that Old Ding had said could turn a Spiritual Root into an ice Spiritual Root.

“Finally. You’ve been borrowing this book for almost a year.”

The female teacher with round glasses seemed to know Yan Bingxuan. After taking “Frost Condensation Technique”, she teased her. Then, Yan Bingxuan revealed a rare smile, like the spring breeze turning into rain. Chen Mobai, who had only seen Beauty Yan’s cold face in the past year, could not help but be stunned.

“When I heard you dropped out of school, I figured you must have succeeded. Now that you’re here to return the book, I’m even more

sure.”

When she was carrying out the book return process, the female teacher spoke casually, which made Chen Mobai’s heart skip a beat. He vaguely felt that he knew the real reason why Yan Bingxuan had dropped out of school.

“Yes, I’ve already sensed the frost intent. I’ve cultivated the ice Spiritual Root, but my attribute points are still not enough. I need a lot of time to increase them.”

Yan Bingxuan was usually a person of few words, but she seemed to be very close to this female teacher with round glasses. Thus, Yan Bingxuan smiled and told her about her cultivation progress. “If it’s you, you’ll definitely succeed.” “Thank you.”

Unlike her usual cold attitude in class, Yan Bingxuan was very gentle at this moment. For the first time, Chen Mobai felt the charm of this classmate.

“It’s been hard on you. You usually make yourself so cold in order to match the ice Spiritual Root.”

“It’s pretty good too. You’re pretty quiet.”

It turned out that she usually acted cold.

Just as Chen Mobai was thinking this, the female teacher had already completed the return procedures for “Mystic Ice Technique” and handed Yan Bingxuan’s student card to her.

“There’s no need.”

However, Yan Bingxuan simply looked at the student card longingly. Then, she shook her head and left.

Yan Bingxuan walked to the door and saw Chen Mobai standing there. Their eyes met. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded as a farewell to their brief classmateship.

They hadn’t been in the same class in the first and second years of high school. They had only been assigned together in the third year of high school.

IThis could be considered a medium-sized fate.

“After reaching Qi Refinement Level-7, you can give up on cultivating the Five Elements Technique and switch to other cultivation techniques that are suitable for the attribute of your Spiritual Root. What did you choose?”

Chen Mobai suddenly asked.

After learning about the method to improve one’s Spiritual Root from Old Ding, he had specially searched for this knowledge online. He knew that although the method to improve one’s Spiritual Root was also a method, it was more inclined to be a Dharma spell.

Cultivators needed to cultivate and persevere for a long time. Sometimes, they might not even see their Spiritual Root attribute points increase even after a month.

Many forerunners would ask cultivators to find a cultivation technique that matched their Spiritual Root. This way, they could not fall behind too much in their realm and could advance this technique along with the Spiritual Root Evolution Technique. It was the best of both worlds.

“The Mystic Ice Technique.”

Yan Bingxuan subconsciously answered. Then, she came to a realization. Why did she have to answer him?

“We’ll meet again if fate allows.”

After hearing her answer, Chen Mobai’s desire to give her “Black Water Technique” faded. He had thought that her Frost Breath Technique and Ice Spell from the book should be of reference to her and wanted to form a good relationship.

It was obvious that the Mystic Ice Technique was prepared for ice Spiritual Roots. He was the one who was overthinking.

Watching Yan Bingxuan leave, Chen Mobai turned back.

“Can I borrow this book?”

The female teacher with the round glasses was about to put “Frost Condensation Technique” on the shelf when she heard Chen’s voice. She pointed hesitantly at the book in her hand. “This book?”.

“Yeah.”

“This is a book from District A. If a student want to borrow it, they need the approval of the main subject teacher.”

When Chen Mobai heard this, he nodded slightly and recalled what Old Ding had said. Although there were many Spiritual Root enhancement techniques, in order to prevent students with weak self-control from indulging and wasting precious time building their foundation, they usually needed to enter university before they were allowed to come into contact with this knowledge.

“I understand. Thank you, Teacher.”

The female teacher with round glasses had a good impression of the polite Chen Mobai. At first, she thought that he had a good impression of Yan Bingxuan and wanted to use this opportunity to find a common ground between them. In order to prevent Chen Mobai from delaying his cultivation, she specially reminded him.

“Bingxuan’s aunt is a perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Nature Academy. It’s said that she’s about to attempt to reach the Core Formation Realm. It’s hard to say if she’ll survive this round, so she plans to nurture a successor before attempting the Core Formation Realm. She’s one of the candidates. If she succeeds in the Frost Condensation Technique and condenses an ice Spiritual Root, then it’ll most likely be her.”

When Chen Mobai heard the female teacher’s words, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he understood that she had misunderstood. However, he knew that the teacher was also reminding him kindly that he was still young and should prioritize his cultivation. If he succeeded in building his foundation, he still had more than a hundred years to slowly pursue his Spiritual Root.

“A perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator? I’m afraid that there’s no one like that in Danxia City.”

Although the immortal sect had an orderly inheritance and was an immortal cultivation civilization, they could not avoid the gathering effect. Cultivators who were more talented basically went to the Grotto-Heaven cities with high-ranked spiritual veins.

Although Danxia City had two major academies and an extremely rare Rank-4 fire vein, other than Foundation Establishment cultivators whose cultivation had reached its limit, they would not stay here for long.

It was even more so for cultivators who had reached the perfected Foundation Establishment realm and had a chance of reaching the Core Formation Realm.

“Although there are no perfected Foundation Establishment cultivators in our city, there are two Golden Cores.”

Hearing Chen Mobai’s sigh, the female teacher, who was born and raised in Danxia City, could not help but say.

That’s right, among the 72 Blessed Lands of the immortal sects, some did not even have a Golden Core Perfected One presiding over them.

However, there were two of them in Danxia City, who oversaw the two local Dao Colleges. One of them was a red-robed Daoist who had returned to his hometown, while the other was Perfected One Shi Qing, who had used the fire vein in Danxia City to refine a Dharma treasure.

“If only I could listen to a Golden Core Perfected One lecture once. After listening to it, I might be confident enough to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

The female teacher was also at the perfected Qi Refinement Level-9, but she had never dared to achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm. If a Golden Core cultivator told her that she could successfully build her foundation, she might be able to rush towards the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, what kind of status did Golden Cores have? They could be said to be the sky of Danxia City!

Not to mention a mere high school teacher like her, even students from the two local Dao Colleges might not have the chance to meet a Golden Core cultivator.

At that moment, the bell rang.

Chen Mobai immediately bade farewell and rushed back to the classroom with the Five Elements Technique book.

He put on his wireless earpiece and clicked on the video of the Five Elements Technique lecture that he had downloaded last night. To avoid being seen by his deskmate, he had also switched off the screen of his disconnected cell phone and placed it under his textbook to hide it.

Master Qing Ping’s long-winded words sounded in his ears. Chen Mobai accurately swiped his finger across the screen without looking

He wanted to fast forward the video!
