Chapter 170 - Ice and Snow City

The three men in red robes looked skeptical, but Liu Yang and Weiwei exclaimed in shock.

“Yes, Brother Lin knows illusion techniques; he can definitely tame the Snow Wolves!” Liu Yang shouted.

Immediately, Liu Yang recounted the battle between Lin Xuan and the one-eyed big man.

“If that’s the case, it might be worth a try,” the white-robed elder said solemnly.

Afterwards, Lin Xuan and the others caught several Snow Wolves for Lin Xuan to try taming.

His eyes flickered with a purple light as an invisible soul seeped into the minds of the Snow Wolves.

Having trained the Purple Spirit Eyes to the Third Level, Lin Xuan could now employ the secret skill of soul control.

Assisted by the Great Dragon Sword Seal, he quickly placed a Slave Seal within the minds of the Snow Wolves.

Several Snow Wolves were successively tamed by Lin Xuan, constantly wagging their tails around him.

The group marveled and their respect for Lin Xuan grew once again.

With the Snow Wolves, the speed of the carriage increased, allowing them to reach Ice and Snow City in just five days.

Lin Xuan sat inside the carriage, eyes closed, recovering, with the Snow White Monkey perched on his shoulder.

Liu Yang and Weiwei had sustained some injuries and were also quietly recovering.

Lin Xuan was the first to wake up.

He mobilized his Soul Power and entered the Storage Ring to begin sorting through the spoils of war.

Mostly, the Storage Rings contained Spirit Stones, Elixir Pills, some weapons, and cultivation techniques, but Lin Xuan did not regard them highly.

In the end, he calculated that there were approximately two hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones and some recovery-type Elixir Pills.

Tucking away these rings, Lin Xuan then took out a deep blue ring—this was the one-eyed big man’s Storage Ring.

“I wonder if there are any Ice Martial Arts?” Lin Xuan thought with a hint of anticipation.

Inserting his Soul Power, Lin Xuan sensed an independent space the size of a room.

There were five large chests, all filled with low-grade spiritual stones.

Lin Xuan sensed briefly—one chest contained about one hundred thousand spiritual stones, totaling five hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

Lin Xuan sighed, the identity of the one-eyed big man must have been extraordinary.

Besides low-grade spiritual stones, there was also a chest of mid-grade spiritual stones, approximately around ten thousand pieces.

Lin Xuan swallowed quietly, feeling a wave of excitement.

Mid-grade spiritual stones were much more precious than low-grade ones, as one mid-grade stone could be exchanged for a hundred low-grade stones.

However, under normal circumstances, no martial artist would exchange mid-grade stones for low-grade ones.

That’s because the spiritual energy contained within mid-grade stones was purer, absorbable not just by Spirit Sea Realm martial artists but also by warriors of the Three Spirit Realms.

Although they still needed refining, compared to low-grade spiritual stones, they were far superior!

Therefore, the value of this chest of mid-grade spiritual stones far exceeded that of the five chests of low-grade stones.

“These thieves robbed so much wealth; they must have harmed many people.

This can be considered ridding the people of a scourge!”

Lin Xuan shook his head and sighed, realizing that plundering was indeed the fastest way to amass wealth.

Besides the spiritual stones, there were other items inside.

Lin Xuan quickly overlooked some weapons and elixir pills, focusing instead on the cultivation techniques.

“I’ve found it!” Lin Xuan’s eyes brightened as he focused on one particular technique.

“Ice and Snow Profound Technique!

It’s actually a Lower Grade Spirit cultivation technique!” Lin Xuan was surprised; he hadn’t expected the one-eyed big man’s technique to be so high-level.

“Luckily I have the Purple Spirit Eyes that can cast illusions, otherwise, it would definitely have been a fierce battle!”

Lin Xuan was right; although the cultivation of the one-eyed big man was at the peak of the Spirit Sea Fourth Level, he was not weaker than a martial artist of the Spirit Sea Fifth Level.

Especially in the ice and snow territory, ordinary Fifth Level Spirit Sea martial artists dared not provoke him.

This was a technique for cultivating spiritual power.

Although Lin Xuan couldn’t practice it, he could gain enlightenment from it.

He possessed the Great Dragon Sword Seal and could completely evolve it.

Moreover, the cultivation technique he practiced, the Longevity Technique, was extraordinary, capable of transforming into any attribute.

He wrote down the Ice and Snow Profound Technique, and Lin Xuan, following the instructions, channeled his Spiritual Power.

A strand of Cold Ice Qi emerged from his palm, and when he placed his hand on the chair he was sitting on, a layer of frost spread at a visibly fast rate.

The Snow White Monkey shuddered, curling its body into a ball and resting on Lin Xuan’s shoulder.

Liu Yang and Weiwei were also awakened by the cold energy, looking around uncertainly.

Finally, Liu Yang pulled the curtains tight to prevent the outside snow from entering and then closed his eyes again to regulate his breath.

Lin Xuan didn’t say anything, but continually pondered over the Great Dragon Sword Seal, simultaneously accelerating his familiarity with Ice Martial Arts.

With the Ice Martial Arts, he could enhance his combat abilities yet again.

Time swiftly passed, and in the blink of an eye, four days had elapsed.

In this period, Lin Xuan’s cultivation broke through again, reaching the Spirit Sea Third Layer Heaven.

Compared to Lin Xuan’s terrifying attack, his cultivation level did not attract much attention.

However, if they knew that Lin Xuan had progressed from the Spirit Sea Second Layer Heaven to the Third in just over a month, their hearts might leap out!

As is well known, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve cultivation at later stages, and it generally takes a martial artist about a year to progress from the Second to the Third Layer of the Spirit Sea.

Of course, if you have a high-level Cultivation Technique or help from elixir pills, this time could be halved, but even so, it’s unheard of to take just over a month like Lin Xuan did!

Seeing that Ice and Snow City was nearing, Lin Xuan did not ponder over any other Martial Arts but focused on consolidating his realm, quickly adjusting his body to his cultivation level.

A day later, he opened his eyes.

Outside the carriage, the pace of the Snow Wolves also slowed down, Lin Xuan opened the window and looked forward.

A giant shadow loomed ahead, resembling a giant mountain sprawling across the icy lands.

“That is Ice and Snow City, the largest city in Snow State, and it’s the closest to the Wenxue Sect,” Weiwei stated, looking into the distance.

The two carriages slowly approached the city gate.

The black iron gates, towering over ten meters, emanated a chill, ghostly light.

Guards lined up on both sides of the gate, their aura powerful, with a faint presence of evil qi emanating from them.

Lin Xuan was surprised, these guards’ cultivation levels were all above the Spirit Sea Realm, far surpassing those in the cities of Yunzhou.

After paying some spirit stones, Lin Xuan and others entered the city.

Inside, the streets were very spacious, at least ten meters wide, flanked by countless shops.

Although the weather was cold, the city was teeming with life.

The air was filled with hawkers’ shouts, mostly selling delicious foods, and tempting aromas hit passersby as they walked by.

The carriages of Lin Xuan and others traveled slowly down the street, led by the six majestic Snow Wolves.

“Which power is this that they can tame Snow Wolves!” a martial artist exclaimed.

The martial artists of Snow State knew that Snow Wolves were extremely difficult to tame, and aside from the Ice and Snow Wolf Thieves, very few could manage it.

Yet now, someone was using Snow Wolves to pull a carriage.

Amid envious looks, the two war chariots headed toward the distance.

“People are going to the Battle Platform!”

Just as people envied the carriage pulled by Snow Wolves, a shout came from afar.

Immediately, surrounding martial artists started moving, rushing toward the interior.

Lin Xuan and the others, curious, stepped down from the war chariot to inquire.

“Excuse me, big brother, may I ask what’s happened?” Weiwei asked.

The martial artist, seeing a beautiful woman, smiled broadly and said, “You must have just arrived in the city.

These days, a large number of martial artists have been entering the city, often engaging in sparring competitions.”

“This time, it’s said that a talent from the Hidden Dragon List is having a duel!” the martial artist said, then hurried away.

“Let’s go take a look,” Weiwei said excitedly.
