C8 Ice

With an excited mood, he jogged all the way and finally, the run-down temple appeared in front of Liu Qi's eyes.

After running into the temple, Liu Qi wanted to call out his master, but the place where he had previously healed was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Master?" While thinking in his heart, Liu Qi's eyes turned and scanned the entire broken temple, but didn't find Lin Luo. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "Could it be that Master left?" After all, a child's heart was simple. He was afraid that Lin Luo would not keep his word and would not teach him martial arts, so he secretly left. His mood immediately became depressed and sad, and his eyes started to ache.

Just when his tears were about to fall, a slightly muffled voice came from the ground, "Liu Qi, there's a tunnel under the deity statue in the middle of the temple. Come in, Master is below."

Hearing this voice, Liu Qi's heart seemed to come to life again. He felt as if he was listening to a heavenly music. Although they had only known each other for half a day, it was impossible for him to forget his master's voice.

Without any hesitation, Liu Qi walked towards the godly table. He lifted the tablecloth that the godly table dragged onto the ground. A dark entrance to the underground cave appeared in front of him and a flight of stairs extended downwards.

Liu Qi was initially young, but he wasn't that tall. He only needed to stoop down to the bottom of the table and walk down the stairs to the underground cave. After going down to LV20, they arrived at the flat ground. A wave of coldness hit Liu Qi's body and everything that happened in front of his eyes made him very surprised.

The underground cave was about thirty square meters in length, and the walls were shining brightly. It was the reflection of the frozen earth, which allowed water to seep through the soil, freezing it and forming four solid walls, thus making the underground cave not very dark. In the middle of the floor, there was only one ice bed. To be more accurate, it was a six feet square ice bed. No wonder he felt a chill the moment he walked into the cave.

In front of the ice bed stood a white-faced scholar. It was his teacher, Lin Luo, calmly looking at him.

"Master!" Liu Qi quickly ran in front of his master and bowed. Then, he stood respectfully in front of his teacher.

"Hmm, Liu Qi, I'll ask you one last time. Training is a very painful and tiring thing. You have to persevere. Can you do it?" Lin Luo looked at his disciple. Because of the laziness between his brows, he couldn't help but confirm once again that he was afraid that all his efforts would go to waste.

"Of course you can. Teacher, you don't have to worry about it. I will not let you down!" Liu Qi nodded heavily. His sincere gaze finally made Lin Luo put down his worries.

"Very good, then I will pass on to you my most prized martial art, the Frozen Heaven Essence Energy, and the Heavenly Yuan force will slowly unearth its potential as your cultivation increases. Teacher has also said that once you train it to the extreme, it will be easy to freeze the entire mountain, but that will depend on how skilled you are and what level you are at."

"Yesterday, after you left, teacher went out for a walk and learned about the Martial Cultivator's power and rank separation in your continent. According to what you guys said, you should start becoming a Martial Cultivator and step into the Apprentice level soon. It might be a little cold, but it's not enough. This is a test for you, and is also the basis for you to cultivate in the Frozen Heaven Essence Energy. Only by experiencing that ice intent in the ice can you truly be able to get started, and grasp the core of cultivation. " Saying that, Lin Luo pointed at the ice bed in front of him, gesturing for Liu Qi to sit on it.

Seeing that the chance to fulfill his wish was right in front of him, how could the courageous Liu Qi be afraid of these little chills. Without any hesitation, he climbed onto the ice bed and sat down cross-legged according to his teacher's wishes. He placed his hands on his knees and started cultivating.

However, he had still underestimated how cold the ice bed was. After sitting on it for a few blinks of an eye, a chill slowly flowed down from the point of contact and covered his entire body.

He couldn't help but shiver, yet he still remained seated.

"Close your eyes, don't think about anything else in your mind, and quietly use your heart to feel the frost concept within the ice." Lin Luo looked at Liu Qi, who was shivering and frowning but did not run away, and nodded to himself in his heart.

"Ice Intent is an experience that you can't see or feel, and it can only be felt when your body is in an ice-cold possession. If you can experience it, then you can cultivate the Frozen Heaven Essence Energy, but not the other way around, some people experience it very quickly, and some people won't even be able to experience it for a year or two."

Hearing his teacher's words, Liu Qi was not discouraged. For his own wish, he could suffer. His body was already numb from the cold, and his lips were purple. However, he still kept his eyes closed, trying his best to get rid of all distracting thoughts as he silently felt the ethereal frost concept.

Time flowed on, and four hours passed in the blink of an eye. Liu Qi was no longer trembling. His entire body was covered by a thin layer of frost and his breathing was weak but steady.

Since this ice bed was created by Lin Luo using the Frozen Heaven Essence Energy, it showed how strong Lin Luo's cold aura was. It was no less than ten thousand years old ice.

Yet, Liu Qi was able to sit for four hours without fear. This composure made Lin Luo exclaim in admiration.

"It seems like I'm not likely to succeed today." Lin Luo stared at Liu Qi the whole time, not daring to slack off in the slightest. After all, the child was still young, it was hard to say if he could withstand the cold. He did not want to mislead the children. After all, training sometimes depended on fate, and he couldn't force it.

At this moment, Liu Qi felt as if he was in a world of ice and snow. There were goose like snowflakes everywhere and the sky was filled with snow. He couldn't see anything around him. What was the ice?

He watched as the snow slowly fell to the ground and melted into water. It fell down again and continued to melt. He repeated this action countless times, and finally, the melting speed of the snow could not keep up with the falling speed. Slowly, a layer of snowflakes accumulated on the ground, and the permeating water plus low temperature gradually condensed into a thin layer of ice.

The scene froze at this moment. Liu Qi's consciousness suddenly opened up as if he was struck by a meteor. He could feel it. Ice Aura, what was Ice Aura? Ice Intent was a firm will that would never admit defeat. Even if it turned into water, it would advance forward, eventually conquering everything and becoming an unbreakable block of ice.

In an instant, the frost on Liu Qi, who was originally sitting quietly on the ice bed, fell off and fell around his body. The cold air that floated on the ice bed rushed into Liu Qi's body through his skin and rampaged through his body. Weird, this was the only thing that could be said.
