Chapter 75: Spell Demonstration

"Did you feel it?"

In a coffee shop, Yan Bingxuan retracted the finger she had placed on Chen Mobai's right wrist, where he was continuously shivering, and he quickly drank the scalding coffee from the table in one gulp.

Then he let out a long breath.

"Is this your Ice Spirit Power?"

Chen Mobai raised his hand, looking at the slightly blue veins on his wrist and the lingering coldness in his right arm. He couldn't help but take a closer look at the fair-skinned, almost translucent Yan Bingxuan. She constantly circulates this Ice Spirit Power through her meridians; doesn't she feel cold at all?

"The Frost Condensation Technique, a method to enhance spirit roots, strengthens the meridians."

Yan Bingxuan saw the confusion in Chen Mobai's eyes and answered his question calmly.

"Among the three treasures for foundation building, the Pulse Protection Pill's role is to protect the meridians from breaking under the impact of powerful spirit power. By cultivating the Frost Condensation Technique to purify my spirit roots into Ice Spirit Roots, although it will waste many years, it can strengthen my meridians to the point where I don't need to take the Pulse Protection Pill to withstand the impact of foundation-building level liquefied spirit power."

Chen Mobai didn't know this before. If that's the case, the techniques for enhancing spirit roots, although they make cultivators dormant for ten to twenty years in the early stages, also lay a solid foundation for advancing to higher realms in the future.

"Do other spirit root techniques have the same effect?"

Yan Bingxuan nodded and then shook her head.

"Most do. Generally, those that transform into different spirit roots need to strengthen the meridians. The other heavenly spirit roots, being single-attribute, have the five elements naturally in the body, so they don't need this function much."

"Heavenly spirit roots are truly blessed by heaven!"

Chen Mobai sighed. According to the data from the Immortal Sect's Medical Academy, cultivators with different spirit roots can basically achieve foundation building as long as they cultivate the corresponding techniques. However, if they want to form a core, they still need luck and their own innate qualities.

But for those with heavenly spirit roots, even if they do nothing and just sit in their caves to cultivate, they have a fifty percent chance of forming a core. With the help of core-forming spirit medicines from the Immortal Sect, the probability of forming a core for those with heavenly spirit roots is around sixty to seventy percent.

It's just that when it comes to forming an embryo, those with heavenly spirit roots are actually inferior to ordinary cultivators who have advanced step by step.

This is probably because the early stages are too smooth, and they lack the necessary tempering, making it easy for them to fall into the heart demon tribulation.

"Then, will I never be able to master this 'Ice Spell'?"

If Chen Mobai were to cultivate this spell, he would first need to strengthen his meridians. Where would he find the time for that?

"Let me take a look!"

Yan Bingxuan picked up her phone and read the full text of the "Ice Spell" that Chen Mobai had sent her. She carefully compared it with her "Mystic Ice Technique" and explained the rather vague "Ice Breath" in great detail.

However, her ability to express herself in writing was indeed average, and Chen Mobai didn't understand much of what she said.

"Let me demonstrate it for you in practice."

Yan Bingxuan saw that there was a cultivation gym across from the coffee shop and indicated that they should go there to a professional venue where she could personally demonstrate the Ice Spell for him.

"Let's go."

Chen Mobai immediately packed two more steaming lattes to avoid the feeling of his arm freezing again when he felt the Ice Spirit Power.

In the cultivation gym, under Yan Bingxuan's guidance, Chen Mobai booked a two-hour spell practice room. Having never been to such a place before, he felt a bit expensive when he saw the bill of 138 merit points.

The spell practice room is a spacious room specifically designed for practicing spells. The walls are lined with targets, and there are sturdy restrictions to prevent damage.

After entering, Yan Bingxuan skillfully put on the protective gear and opened a bottle of mineral water provided in the room, scattering it into the air.

Whoosh!

Yan Bingxuan lightly exhaled, and Chen Mobai, standing next to her, felt a chill that penetrated his bones, forcing him to circulate his spirit power to warm his blood.

"Crack!"

At that moment, the sound of flowing water freezing was heard.

Under Chen Mobai's wide-eyed gaze, Yan Bingxuan gracefully raised her hand, and the mineral water she had scattered into the sky turned into a circle of ice spikes under her breath, falling around them with a steady rhythm, forming a perfect two-meter-diameter circle, like a mountain of ice with undulating heights.

"Did you understand it just by watching once?"

Chen Mobai felt a blow. He had been practicing this Ice Spell for almost half a month and still had no clue. How could Yan Bingxuan, who had just seen it today, not even need to practice and succeed on her first try?

"This is not your 'Ice Spell,' but the 'Ten Transformations of Mystic Ice' that I cultivate. However, the principles are the same."

Yan Bingxuan's words made Chen Mobai feel a bit better; otherwise, the confidence he had built up after breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation would have been shattered.

"Just now, I used the Ice Breath from the spell you gave me to perform the Ten Transformations. Now, I will use my own Mystic Ice Technique to demonstrate it. Watch carefully."

At this moment, Yan Bingxuan opened another bottle of mineral water and poured it over her head. As the water sprinkled down, it instantly froze into the shape it had taken, like a huge ice flower.

Chen Mobai reached out to touch it, but with a "ping" sound, Yan Bingxuan took a step back, and the ice flower fell to the floor, shattering into thousands of ice fragments.

"Did you feel the difference?"

"Yes, when you used the Mystic Ice Technique, it was faster, and the Ice Spell had an additional breath process."

Chen Mobai had been using his divine sense to focus on Yan Bingxuan's actions, and naturally, he saw the differences between the two times she performed the Ten Transformations of Mystic Ice.

"The Mystic Ice Technique, along with its Ten Transformations, uses water to create various shapes and then forms them into ice, similar to the core of your Ice Spell."

"However, I have already refined Ice Spirit Power within my body, so my spirit power can instantly shape the water upon contact. Your Ice Spell, on the other hand, simulates Ice Spirit Power, but your dantian and meridians cannot withstand the cold of Ice Spirit Power, so you need to transform the five-element spirit power into Ice Spirit Power at the twelfth level of the dantian."

"But your twelfth level of the dantian also cannot withstand Ice Spirit Power, so you need to release the Ice Breath at the subtle moment just before it is fully formed. This way, at the moment the breath is released, the transformation of Ice Spirit Power is completed, without damaging your body, and you can shape water with ordinary spirit power."

"This spell is quite interesting, almost identical to the true meaning of transforming my Gold-Water Spirit Root into an Ice Spirit Root. However, the creator probably only intended to use it for combat, which is a bit limited in scope."

After Yan Bingxuan finished speaking, Chen Mobai solemnly thanked her.

Indeed, a true master's words are worth a thousand gold.

Her practical demonstration, personal testing of the spell, and the unreserved sharing of her insights made Chen Mobai, who had been confused about the "Ice Breath," finally understand it completely.
