Chapter 794
Mystic Immortal, Perfected! Ice Pebble
Taiyuan City, Ice Room.
"So many people!?"
Zhang Lingshan was taken aback when he came down. He thought he was just giving a lecture to Xia Hengbing, but he didn't expect that dozens of people from the other side would stand in neat rows to welcome him.
Moreover, the ice-making platform was already set up, just waiting for me to give them a lesson.
"Hahaha."
Xia Hengbing laughed: "Brother Li, everyone is eagerly looking forward to your lecture. Look at everyone's eager eyes and their synchronized movements, aren't you moved?"
"I feel like you've tricked me."
Zhang Lingshan remained silent.
Xia Hengbing laughed and said, "What do you mean by being tricked? We're family, how can we talk like two people? We don't need much. Just teach us the same lessons you taught An Yuancheng Ice Room. I'm really curious about what kind of method can make everyone's efficiency double. It's unbelievable."
"You're a little kid."
Zhang Lingshan smiled slightly, stepped onto the ice-making platform, and without any further words, began his lecture.
Just like in the ice room in Anyuan City, we'll only give everyone one entrance so you can experience it first.
"There's even an entrance? How did you discover that?"
Xia Hengbing couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhang Lingshan said calmly, "As long as you put your heart into it, you will definitely be able to find it. Alright, that's all for today's lecture. I'll absorb some icy spiritual energy to replenish what I've been consuming these past few days, and we'll talk about the next entrance tomorrow."
"There's another entrance?"
Xia Hengbing was even more surprised.
Zhang Lingshan thought to himself that An Yuan City did not seem to have sent over his teaching materials, but it also did not restrict him from spreading them to Tai Yuan City.
This is how I earn two salaries.
No wonder Zhao Xingqiu speaks so highly of that Ice Fairy; she truly is a good leader who respects skilled workers.
For this reason alone, if I don't cultivate to perfection in the ice chamber of Taiyuan City, it would be a waste of the Ice Immortal's kindness.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
The crowd was eagerly waiting to be fed, and there were twice as many people as yesterday.
Zhang Lingshan was used to this and used the same old method: he finished the lesson in a few words and then went back to his cultivation.
Xia Hengbing kept his word and exchanged a large number of spirit stones for Zhang Lingshan.
He seemed to want to tell Zhang Lingshan that one million spirit stones were indeed worthless and not worth Zhang Lingshan risking his life to help someone else, so he gave Zhang Lingshan one million spirit stones in one go.
Fortunately, since Zhang Lingshan is not a local and has the support of the Ice Immortal of Anyuan City, he doesn't need to use the Ice Jade Pill to disguise himself. All he needs are spirit stones.
then.
With such a large amount of spirit stones nourishing him, Zhang Lingshan's strength improved day by day. At this rate, reaching perfection in his cultivation would be a natural outcome.
"Nodes! Besides the entrance, there are actually these important nodes. It's incredible. How did you discover them? We haven't found them for so long. Compared to you, we're practically useless."
Xia Hengbing stared at Zhang Lingshan with excitement, as if he wanted to dissect Zhang Lingshan's brain to see how it was formed.
Zhang Lingshan said, "It was all by chance, a sudden whim, an unintentional discovery. Alright, I'll talk about two more key points in the next few days, and that concludes my lecture."
"No!"
Xia Hengbing exclaimed, "Brother Li, no, Brother Li, Master Li, you see how sincere I am towards you. Why don't you just stay in our Taiyuan City? I don't think Anyuan City values you at all, otherwise they wouldn't have sent you out to trade. Stay here with us, and after I break through to the Golden Immortal realm, I'll propose giving you a Golden Immortal spot, and then you can break through too!"
This is a really good offer, but Zhang Lingshan feels that Xia Hengbing isn't that reliable.
He asked if offering a Golden Immortal spot would give him one in return.
Moreover, if An Yuan City Ice House hadn't taken him in from the start and given him the freedom to trade, he wouldn't have come here.
So, in the end, I owe a favor to the Ice Chamber of Anyuan City, especially since Lord Ice Fairy is a very principled and good leader. If I were to betray her, what kind of person would I be?
Most importantly, if I stay here, I'll probably be stuck in the ice room forever, being drained dry, which is far less free than staying with the Ice Fairy.
It's not easy to find a good leader.
If you follow others closely, you'll have a very high chance of getting a Golden Immortal status.
If I betray them and stay in Taiyuan City, displeasing Lord Bingxian, even if I have a chance to obtain a Golden Immortal status, it will all fall through.
and so.
Zhang Lingshan smiled faintly and said, "Lord Bingxian has done me a great favor. I, Li Xuanbing, am Lord Bingxian's person in life and in death. I could never betray Lord Bingxian."
"That's such a pity. Oh, Brother Li, I'll give you more money. Tell me a few more entrances and nodes. You must have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. Pass them all on to me, and I'll become your apprentice."
Xia Hengbing pulled Zhang Lingshan aside and whispered something.
Zhang Lingshan asked in confusion, "With your strength, you're about to break through to the Golden Immortal realm at the Golden Immortal Pavilion. At that time, you won't need to make ice anymore, so there's no point in you learning this skill. Why bother with this unnecessary step? It's putting the cart before the horse."
Xia Hengbing was taken aback: "You don't know?"
"Know what?"
"As expected of a sincere heart, no wonder you can comprehend so many entrances and nodes. It seems that I am too impatient because I know too much, and I cannot calm down to comprehend it."
"..."
Zhang Lingshan was speechless. This guy had inexplicably praised him again, but he had no idea what was going on.
Fortunately, before he could press further, Xia Hengbing explained, "The ice-making array is actually a cultivation technique. The deeper one's understanding, the more benefits we ice-type spiritual roots will receive when we break through to the Golden Immortal realm. That's why I need your help, Brother Li. As long as you pass on all your knowledge to me, I'll be at your beck and call whenever I need anything after I break through to the Golden Immortal realm!"
"Is that so?"
Zhang Lingshan was taken aback. The ice-making formation was a cultivation technique; how come he hadn't discovered it?
I am a man who possesses the Myriad Laws and the True Scripture of Myriad Laws. If even I cannot discover that this is a cultivation technique, who else could?
But Xia Hengbing's words sounded so real, and he was so eager to learn from her, so it couldn't be a lie.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but ponder for a moment and said, "Is it really a cultivation technique? But I can't feel any trace of it. Did someone deceive you, making you waste time comprehending the formation and causing you to miss the best opportunity to break through to the Golden Immortal realm?"
"No, this isn't just some random rumor; it's a conclusion reached by all the Golden Immortal experts in our Ice Chamber. There must be a cultivation technique involved, just very well hidden. But if you teach me the entrance and all the key points, perhaps the two of us working together can crack it."
Xia Hengbing said with a serious expression.
Zhang Lingshan said, "No. I have signed an agreement with Lady Bingxian. Even if I have other insights, I must inform Lady Bingxian first and obtain her permission before I can pass them on. So, I'm sorry, if you want them, you can come to Anyuan City to find me after I return to Anyuan City in the future."
"Then let's go to Anyuan City immediately!"
Xia Hengbing said that wind is rain.
Zhang Lingshan said speechlessly, "I still need to cultivate. You should slowly comprehend the entrances and nodes I mentioned before we talk about anything else. Don't rush it. Even if you get the Golden Immortal qualification, it will still take several years. There's no point in rushing it now."
"Ugh."
Seeing that Zhang Lingshan still wouldn't help, Xia Hengbing couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alright, I'll come to Anyuan City to find you another day. But before that, are you sure you want to go and help? People could die."
"Confirmed. I'm fairly confident in my abilities."
Zhang Lingshan said.
Xia Hengbing shook his head and said, "Things are unpredictable. Even the most talented person can stumble at times. But since you've decided to fight for Yu Feihan's one million low-grade spirit stones, I'll ask Steward Xue to help me go with you. Putting aside everything else, at least we must save your life. You are a rare talent in our Ice Chamber, and we must not let you be ruined in such a boring battle."
"Thank you so much."
Zhang Lingshan quickly cupped his hands in greeting, never expecting that Xia Hengbing could actually ask a steward of the Ice Chamber to help with the defense and rescue. Although he didn't need the other party's help, he was just being cautious. He still knew too little about the Immortal Realm, and not everyone was as easy to deal with as the injured Pang Mancang and the arrogant Shang Shuiliu.
Therefore, having a powerful Golden Immortal in charge to guard the area makes one relatively safer.
Since it was agreed upon, Xia Hengbing didn't bother Zhang Lingshan anymore, which gave Zhang Lingshan complete peace and quiet, allowing him to immerse himself in the frenzied refining of spirit stones.
As a result, one's cultivation level will naturally rise accordingly.
Before we knew it.
[The True Scripture of All Laws: Third Level, 1000/1000 Rang. Special Effect: Absorbs the power of all martial arts techniques in the world and can deduce its own variations.]
'Finally, it's a perfect ending!'
Zhang Lingshan was overjoyed.
It's finally complete; I can now break through directly.
but.
I wonder if I will face a tribulation of lightning after my breakthrough.
If one were to break through to the Golden Immortal realm directly without undergoing a tribulation of lightning, would that Golden Immortal realm be reliable or of higher quality than one that has undergone a tribulation of lightning?
If there is a lightning tribulation, that would be even more troublesome. As everyone knows, only the places occupied by the Golden Immortal Pavilion can be the site of a lightning tribulation. If I were to encounter a lightning tribulation so casually, I would be an anomaly and would definitely be captured and studied by others.
and so.
Whether there is a tribulation or not, it is troublesome. The best way is to go to the Golden Immortal Pavilion to break through legitimately.
Therefore, even though Zhang Lingshan had reached the peak of the Xuanxian realm, he could not break through directly. So he stopped cultivating, put away the remaining spirit stones, and left the ice-making room.
"Professor Li, are you leaving?"
There were ice-making workers guarding outside the door. When they saw Zhang Lingshan come out, they immediately came up to greet him and asked.
"you call me?"
Zhang Lingshan felt a moment of disbelief. What an ancient title! He had actually become a professor.
However, on the other hand, it's perfectly reasonable and justifiable for me to be called a professor when I teach them how to make ice.
"Yes, Professor Li, our manager Xia said that if you are leaving, please wait for him. I will go and inform him now."
The ice maker said.
Zhang Lingshan said, "The fight hasn't started yet, so there's no rush to call him. We can call him when we're about to set off."
“Then I have to follow you, otherwise if something unexpected happens and I don’t have time to call our manager, he will kill me.”
The ice-making worker said with a serious expression.
Zhang Lingshan had a feeling that this wasn't a joke or an exaggeration, but the truth.
If he fails to complete the task assigned by Xia Hengbing, Xia Hengbing will really kill him.
Don't be fooled by Xia Hengbing's respectful attitude towards Zhang Lingshan, even to the point of calling him "Grandpa." It's only because of Zhang Lingshan's own abilities and Xia Hengbing's need for his help.
It's not surprising that Xia Hengbing, the most outstanding genius in Taiyuan City's ice room, has the power of life and death over these ordinary ice workers.
then.
Zhang Lingshan nodded and said, "Then come with me. I'm going to the Yu family to see my friend. If you're worried about Xia Hengbing scolding you, you can send him a message about this. I don't mind."
"Thank you, Professor Li."
The ice maker was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Professor Li to be so easy to talk to. No wonder he was able to understand those entry points and nodes.
Because he's a very kind and simple person, without any pretense or airs.
If someone as good as you isn't qualified to understand the art of ice making, then who is?
Yu family.
The doorman saw Zhang Lingshan and immediately ushered him in without needing to announce his arrival, which shows that Yu Feihan had instructed all the doormen to memorize Zhang Lingshan's appearance.
This pleased Zhang Lingshan greatly.
Having been in the Immortal Realm for so long, I have finally experienced the feeling of being respected again.
Compared to Xia Hengbing's fervent respect for him, Yu Feihan's actions were much more pleasant.
"Brother Li!"
Before Zhang Lingshan even arrived at Yu Feihan's residence, Yu Feihan quickly came out to greet him, along with his wife Lei Ruo.
"We were just talking about you, Brother Li. Miss Bai said you are very helpful and righteous, and even complained that I asked you to help me fight, because I was afraid you would get hurt."
Yu Feihan smiled.
Lei Ruo said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Xiao Xi has nothing but praise for your strength and believes that you can definitely help us get through this difficult time. She is not worried about you getting hurt at all, unless a Golden Immortal takes action."
"Haha."
Yu Feihan chuckled and said, "Although Miss Bai has confidence in you, she is also worried about you."
"A girl's feelings are always so complex, contradictory, and passionate."
"But Brother Li, weren't you cultivating in the ice chamber? Why did you come out? Did you encounter a bottleneck?"
"To be honest, I don't know much about cultivation, after all, my talent is only average, so I don't have any good advice."
"However, I know a good place. If you're free, Brother Li, I'd like to take you there."
After saying that, he noticed the person following behind Zhang Lingshan and asked in surprise, "Who is this?"
"My name is Feng Bo. Manager Xia Hengbing ordered me to follow Professor Li and assist in the fight before we set off. He told me to make sure to inform him."
The ice-making worker quickly introduced himself.
Yu Feihan was greatly surprised. He exchanged a glance with Lei Ruo and asked, "Why are you informing Steward Xia? Is he going along too?"
"Yes, he was worried that I would die, so he not only insisted on going, but also invited our Ice Room's Manager Xue to go with him."
Zhang Lingshan said.
Yu Feihan stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
This is so exciting!
We hired Young Master Li Xuanbing, and he even came with a steward named Xia Hengbing and a manager named Xue Mingyang as bonuses.
This is incredibly generous of them; the Yu family is going to be very proud this time.
Now, who dares to say they hired a nobody?
If this is still considered an unknown person, then there are no known people in the world.
One million spirit stones, it was totally worth it.
But it would be incredibly foolish of me to actually only contribute one million.
You'll suffer a great loss if you try to gain a little.
Yu Feihan immediately changed his mind and said, "Brother Li, have you ever heard of ice pebbles?" (End of this chapter)
