"In three months, if you are unable to cultivate to the tenth level of the Ice Cold Qi, then, leave this place from the Northern Spirit Mountain. I will ask the Hall Master to take you in as his disciple to guide you in your cultivation!" Liu Ming said.

When one reached the tenth level of frost true qi, they could be considered to have laid a good foundation, and only then, would they be able to obtain the true inheritance of the To Freezing Sky Clan, the Three Colds Genuine Arts.

Lin Hao nodded: "Alright!"

Seeing Lin Hao agree so readily, Liu Ming's complexion turned slightly better.

After all, hundreds of years ago, an exceptional genius known as the Freezing Sky Sect had used four months to cultivate all the way to the tenth level. That was already the fastest record of a thousand years after the establishment of the Freezing Sky Sect.

Liu Ming personally brought Lin Hao to the Northern Spirit Mountain. The person in charge of handling the daily affairs of the Northern Spirit Mountain was a seemingly simple and honest middle-aged man called Huang Sheng. Apart from this, all the other people in the Northern Spirit Mountain were Outer Sect disciples.

Therefore, he was extremely shocked at Lin Hao's decision to come to Northern Spirit Mountain. Under Liu Ming's reminder, Huang Sheng knew what to do, and after getting people to arrange a place for Lin Hao to stay, he assigned him a mission.

— —

Heart of Cold Grass, a level one spirit herb. For the Freezing Sky Sect disciples, it has a pretty good supporting effect on their cultivation technique, but nurturing it is rather troublesome. It needs to be nourished with cold attribute Elemental Energy s every day.

Lin Hao stood in the middle of a patch of Cold Heart Grass. This field had a total of ninety-nine Cold Heart Grass, and it would ripen in a month.

The task Huang Sheng assigned him was to take care of these 99 stalks of Frigid Heart Grass. After one month, 60 stalks of Frigid Heart Grass would mature, and he would be able to complete the mission and receive a reward of 100 points. If he was unable to complete the mission, then, in addition to the points, there would also be some small penalties, such as continuing on for a period of time and doing manual labor every day.

Usually, things like this would only be done by experienced people, but now that it had fallen onto him, Lin Hao naturally knew that it had something to do with Liu Ming.

He knew clearly in his heart that Liu Ming wanted to help him. However, it was impossible for him to tell anyone about his own matters, so he did not care about these small methods that were used to prevent himself from cultivating in the Northern Spirit Mountain.

In another fifteen minutes, when he would need to use Frozen Elemental Energy to nourish the Heart Grass, Lin Hao found a piece of tree shade to the side and sat down.

This kind of power with the cold attribute was not very special. The Sword Element cultivated by the Heaven Defying Sword Canon, other than its sharp and powerful body, had another extremely strong characteristic, and that was its shape. Before long, the Sword Element in his body condensed a burst of cold Qi, which meant that Lin Hao had reached the first realm of the frost power.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Hao managed to completely master the first stage of the Ice Cold Qi, which was unprecedented in Freezing Sky Sect. At this rate, forget about three months training his Ice Cold Qi to level ten, it would take at most one month!

Following Lin Hao's stop in his cultivation, the frost qi in his body disappeared, and with a thought, the Sword Element turned into frost qi.

Reaching the center of the Frigid Heart Grass s spirit medicine field, the Cold Ice True Qi in Lin Hao's body began to spread. Under his strong Spiritual Force, every stalk of Frigid Heart Grass was nourished by an equal share of Frozen Heart Elemental Energy at the same time. Not long after, Lin Hao completed this matter and returned to the place where he lived in the Northern Spirit Mountain.

Due to his special identity, he was Northern Spirit Mountain's only inner disciple. As a result, he lived in a separate courtyard, which was very suitable for Lin Hao's needs. It was very quiet, and wouldn't be disturbed by anyone.

After cleaning up for a while, Lin Hao went into the training room and took out twelve Low Grade Primeval Stone s from his storage ring. They were arranged in a special arrangement around him.

The energy within the Essence Stone was quickly extracted, and the surrounding Elemental Energy suddenly became ten times richer. Lin Hao activated his Heaven Defying Sword Canon, absorbed and refined it, and transformed it into the Sword Element within his body!

In just an hour, all the energy in the twelve Low Grade Primeval Stone was used up and turned into dust.

Without any hesitation, Lin Hao took out another twelve Low Grade Primeval Stone and continued to cultivate.

In any case, he still had nearly four hundred Low Grade Primeval Stone in his storage ring, so he wouldn't have any concerns about slowing down his cultivation speed in the near future.

An inner sect disciple could only obtain three Low Grade Primeval Stone s per month out of the resources allocated to them by the Sect. Even some disciples with relatively high aptitude who were given special care by the sect could not obtain more than ten Low Grade Primeval Stone s per month.

Merely one round of cultivation on Lin Hao's part was equivalent to an ordinary eight months worth of Essence Stone resources. If this was known to others, many people would probably be so depressed that they would want to smash their heads against a wall!

At this time, the seventh set of Qi Sea in his dantian had already reached the maximum extent; he was no longer able to expand any further; in a few more days, he would be able to break through the eighth level of the Qi Sea Stage.

The mysterious drop of blood was about to be completely refined, and the secret within it was about to be unraveled!

After leaving the training room, Lin Hao started a fire to cook for himself in the courtyard.

Before one's cultivation realm had reached the Elemental Core Stage, one would still be unable to leave without food every day. Even if one had reached the Elemental Core Stage, it was impossible to truly leave the valley.

Of course, if it was some special food, such as the meat of powerful Demonic Beast, even if it was a Elemental Core Stage Ranker, they would probably want to eat it everyday to increase their strength.

The ingredients that Lin Hao currently possessed were all already in his room, so they couldn't be considered good, but they were all ordinary.

Naturally, this body of his had never been exposed to such things since he was young.

But the Sword God Lin Hao in his previous life had been born into poverty, so as he did these things with ease, he unconsciously thought back to those days.

His state of mind suddenly changed as his emotions merged into his every move. Every action contained an extremely profound principle, which was able to affect the circulation of the Sword Element in his body.

"Rumble!"

When a table of simple yet delicate food was prepared, the Qi Sea in Lin Hao's dantian began to boil. It was opened up.

A smile appeared on Lin Hao's face. He did not expect that after being immersed in that special state just now, with his body, spirit and emotions merging together, he had reached the Heaven Man Unity state that every warrior yearned for in their dreams.

Under normal circumstances, warriors who entered this state would have had a great harvest, but under this state, even though Lin Hao had broken through a whole realm, no matter how one looked at it, it seemed like he had wasted a huge opportunity. After all, in the process, he was always lighting a fire and cooking.

Just as Lin Hao was preparing to enjoy the fruits of his labour, at the entrance of the courtyard, a ragged and disheveled guy dressed in all sorts of clothes appeared. He gave off a strong smell of alcohol, and his face revealed an intoxicated look, and said: "It smells so good ah …"
