Chapter 800
: Touching the Ice Fairy's Heart! Golden Immortal Spot Secured
"coming!"
Zhang Lingshan was startled and immediately replied.
Ice Fairy is finally back! We've been waiting for you for so long.
Upon leaving the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Lingshan discovered that his one million spirit stones were almost gone. It turned out that nearly three months had passed without him realizing it.
During this period, in addition to the tea room private room fee, I also bought some treasures to enhance my divine consciousness, so I spent all my money.
But money is meant to be spent, right? If you convert it into your own power, then it's not wasted.
What bothered Zhang Lingshan was that he originally thought he could copy the entire Six Treasuries in the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce in just one month, but almost three months had passed, and he hadn't even copied a third of it, let alone copied it all.
The main problem is that the scripture collection is too difficult to copy, requiring a great deal of effort. All the relevant information about Song Dayun and Dayunmen is here, and Zhang Lingshan also spent a lot of effort to organize the useful information.
That's the real culprit for wasting time.
However, the fact that it is difficult to replicate proves the value of the scripture collection. I will replicate it myself after I break through to the Golden Immortal realm.
Right now, they should immediately return to the ice room.
Upon entering the ice chamber, Zhao Xingqiu was waiting at the door. Seeing Zhang Lingshan, he said, "Come on, follow me to see the Ice Immortal."
He was in a great hurry, working non-stop, seemingly even more anxious than Zhang Lingshan.
As Zhang Lingshan quickly followed, he said, "Congratulations, Steward Qiu, on achieving a successful outcome."
Zhao Xingqiu smiled slightly and said, "It's all thanks to those pendants you gave me. They're really quite special. I owe you a favor."
"Steward Qiu, you're too kind. Steward Qiu, you introduced me to Lady Bingxian. That's a great favor. I should be the one who owes you a favor."
Zhang Lingshan said.
Zhao Xingqiu said, "Don't be so pretentious. If I say I owe you a favor, then I really do. If it weren't for those pendants, who knows when I would have reached the Xuanxian Perfection stage."
Zhang Lingshan smiled upon hearing this: "Alright, whatever Steward Qiu says goes. But we are both at the peak of the Profound Immortal realm, so there might not be enough Golden Immortal slots to go around."
Zhao Xingqiu said, "As long as Lord Bingxian speaks, there are as many Golden Immortal slots as you want. The problem isn't the number of Golden Immortal slots, but whether you can get Lord Bingxian to give you one. You applied to see Lord Bingxian because you want her to give you a slot, so have you thought about how you're going to persuade her?"
"I have a brilliant plan."
Zhang Lingshan laughed.
Zhao Xingqiu snorted: "Look at how smug you are. Fine, I won't ask. I'll just watch your performance later."
As he spoke, Zhao Xingqiu led Zhang Lingshan to a recessed teleportation array and said, "Do not resist. Stand on this teleportation array and you will be teleported to Lord Ice Immortal."
"clear."
Zhang Lingshan nodded.
No one understands teleportation arrays better than him.
Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, the teleportation array in question is not beyond Zhang Lingshan's comprehension. Therefore, he can sense that it is a simple teleportation array without any risk.
Standing on it, without doing anything extra, the teleportation array suddenly activated, and in the blink of an eye, the scene before you changed dramatically.
It was a palace of ice!
Zhang Lingshan and Zhao Xingqiu were positioned in the very center of the Frozen Hall, with extremely thick ice pillars on both sides. Just looking at them, they seemed extraordinary, as if something was hidden inside.
Zhang Lingshan didn't look closely, because his gaze was immediately drawn to the high platform where the two rows of pillars were located.
There sat a graceful woman with a veil covering her face. Although her features were not visible, she appeared to be quite young.
"Greetings, Ice Fairy!"
Zhao Xingqiu hurriedly pulled Zhang Lingshan to bow.
Lady Bingxian said calmly, "No need, come forward and speak."
"Yes."
Zhao Xingqiu stood up, led Zhang Lingshan forward, and said, "Ice Immortal, this is Li Xuanbing. His understanding of ice-making formations is beyond ordinary people, and he is a rare talent. He took leave from teaching to go on an adventure and obtained a great opportunity. Now he has reached the peak of the Xuan Immortal realm and wants to ask you for a Golden Immortal spot."
"The Golden Immortal title is no small matter; only those with great merit can obtain it. Li Xuanbing, what great merit do you think you have to earn a Golden Immortal title?"
"Ice Fairy said calmly."
Zhang Lingshan said, "I am willing to contribute all my experience in ice-making formations to the Ice Chamber. In return, may I be granted a Golden Immortal status?"
Zhao Xingqiu's heart skipped a beat. She guessed that this was what Zhang Lingshan was talking about, but it was probably impossible to exchange this for a Golden Immortal status.
as predicted.
Then the Ice Immortal said calmly, "Your experience is certainly good, but the improvement effect has its limits and needs time to be verified. In the long run, it may be considered a great achievement, but in the short term, I cannot give you merit points. So, it won't work. Unless you comprehend the technique from the ice-making formation."
Zhang Lingshan said, "I haven't comprehended the cultivation technique, but I have obtained a talisman technique. If you, Lord Ice Immortal, are interested, I can demonstrate it to you. If you like it, I will offer this talisman technique to you in exchange for a Golden Immortal spot."
"Show it."
Lady Bingxian is also quick-witted and doesn't waste words.
Zhang Lingshan nodded, took out paper and pen from his storage ring, and immediately began sketching.
The paper and pen were just ordinary paper and pen.
However, when Zhang Lingshan drew the talisman, the paper and pen began to undergo subtle changes.
When the talisman was completed, the paper and pen turned into ice.
Zhao Xingqiu watched this scene in astonishment. The paper fell to the ground and solidified into a slab of ice crystal, which looked as heavy as a thousand pounds, forming a stark contrast to the thin sheet of paper before.
In contrast, although the writing brush also freezes into ice, its size does not change much. The biggest change is that after the writing brush freezes into ice, it becomes a small spear.
The tip of the brush rests precisely on the paper, connecting with the ice crystal slab through its delicate tip, yet it remains perfectly vertical, without the slightest deviation.
Putting everything else aside, this one move alone is enough to make one feel that it is extraordinary.
Zhao Xingqiu probably could never learn this kind of subtle and exquisite control over ice crystals in her entire life.
However, it's normal that Zhao Xingqiu, who has a water-based spiritual root, can't learn it.
Lady Ice Fairy possesses an ice-type unique spiritual root; she should be able to do this.
Zhao Xingqiu admired Lady Bingxian to the core. If Li Xuanbing could do it, Lady Bingxian could definitely do it too, without a doubt!
To Zhao Xingqiu's surprise, when the Ice Immortal saw Zhang Lingshan's move, she remained silent for a long time. Instead, she stared calmly at the ice crystal paper slab and the ice crystal brush spear, as if there was some kind of magic in these two items that had drawn her gaze away for a long time.
'Could it be that Lady Ice Fairy couldn't do this, and was therefore shocked, becoming curious and watching intently, wanting to uncover its secrets?'
Zhao Xingqiu's heart skipped a beat, wondering how he could have such a thought.
This is a desecration of Lady Ice Fairy.
"Li Xuanbing, you say you're demonstrating talismanic arts, but where are the talismanic arts? This is clearly an ice-making technique."
Feeling uncomfortable with the eerie silence, Zhao Xingqiu immediately spoke up.
Regardless of what Lady Bingxian thinks, if she doesn't speak up, then I will speak up for her.
What Lady Bingxian couldn't say, Zhao Xingqiu said.
If I don't even have this much discernment, what kind of loyal steward am I to be the Ice Fairy?
"hehe."
Zhang Lingshan smiled faintly and said, "Manager Qiu, please take a look."
talking.
Zhang Lingshan gently flicked his right hand, and a faint breeze blew towards the ice crystal paper slab and the ice crystal brush spear.
Fine ice crystal powder immediately drifted out from both of them. Then, Zhao Xingqiu's eyes widened as he saw that both of them were engraved with dense patterns.
What else could it be but a rune?
It turns out that the reason these two can transform into this form is because of these runes.
"This is the ice-making rune?"
Zhao Xingqiu asked in confusion.
Her strength did not allow her to unravel the mystery of this talisman.
Zhang Lingshan smiled slightly and said, "No, this is an Ice Talisman. But it's not a simple Ice Talisman; it's an Ice Talisman that combines attack and defense. Steward Qiu might as well try to snatch this brush-shaped ice spear and see what kind of counterattack he will suffer."
Zhao Xingqiu raised an eyebrow.
The Frost Rune is just a basic rune.
It's on the same level as those fire talismans, water talismans, yellow earth talismans, and metal talismans, so how powerful can it be?
Basic runes are the foundation for advanced runes and are indeed very important, but because they are so basic, their effects are not very powerful.
Even if a mere Frost Talisman is powerful, how powerful can it really be?
Although such a thought subconsciously arose in his mind, Zhao Xingqiu knew that this thing was definitely not simple when he thought of the expression on Ice Fairy's face when she saw these two.
After all, ordinary ice talismans cannot turn paper into ice crystal slabs, nor can they turn a writing brush into an ice crystal spear.
Therefore, there must be some mystery involved.
With this immortal technique in mind, Zhao Xingqiu became more vigilant, condensing a layer of defensive water in his hand before reaching out to grab the brush-shaped ice spear.
Tweet!
In an instant, a sharp sound of something cutting through the air was heard.
Zhao Xingqiu's heart skipped a beat. He retreated rapidly, and a vortex of water quickly formed in front of him to block the flying ice spear.
However, to Zhao Xingqiu's surprise, all the water that came into contact with the icy spear was instantly frozen into ice crystals.
The icy power continued its relentless advance, closing in on him.
"broken!"
Zhao Xingqiu let out a sharp shout, which unleashed a massive torrent of water that shattered all the ice crystals into dust.
Only then did she realize that Zhang Lingshan had been standing at a distance the whole time, without moving an inch.
All that had just happened was merely a counterattack unleashed by that tiny calligraphy brush ice spear.
"Amazing!"
Zhao Xingqiu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
It took me a lot of spiritual energy to condense a torrent to break a small ice spear that someone else could make so casually.
If the opponent were to gather several small ice spears and shoot them all at once from all directions, how would Zhao Xingqiu deal with it?
This is far too destructive!
"Manager Qiu could try attacking this piece of paper."
Zhang Lingshan continued.
Zhao Xingqiu snorted, skeptical, "Let's try it then. That spear can attack, but can this piece of paper attack?"
This piece of paper is indeed not to be attacked.
However, as Zhao Xingqiu's torrent plunged down, the paper immediately released a large amount of icy energy, freezing the torrent into ice.
As Zhao Xingqiu's attacks continued, the condensed ice continued to spread.
It's as if the ice runes on that paper can keep multiplying, spreading from a single sheet of paper to an entire wall of ice runes.
Although, as it spreads, the power of the runes weakens and eventually becomes almost nonexistent.
However, before its power was depleted, the ice wall it had created could at least defend against Zhao Xingqiu's attacks for a period of time.
"Why hasn't it broken yet?!"
Zhao Xingqiu was already on the verge of collapse.
Although the previous brush ice gun was powerful, its effect was short-lived, far less durable than this paper ice slab.
Even if Zhang Lingshan was seriously injured and hiding inside this defensive ice slab, I still couldn't break through its defense.
This is too torturous.
"okay."
Snapped!
Then, the Ice Fairy spoke softly, and the entire ice spear suddenly shattered, turning into snowflakes that slowly drifted down from the sky.
"This ice talisman is indeed no ordinary ice talisman, but it is absolutely impossible for anyone without extraordinary talent to master it. Therefore, it has no value for widespread use, and its value is quite limited."
"That's what the Ice Fairy said."
Zhang Lingshan said, "This talisman is a gift to Lord Bingxian. Why promote it? Isn't Lord Bingxian a person of extraordinary talent? Even for Lord Bingxian, possessing this talisman would be a great help. I don't think it's a loss for Lord Bingxian to exchange this talisman for a Golden Immortal spot."
"This talisman is difficult to learn, and even more difficult to master."
The Ice Immortal sighed, "My talent is inferior to yours, and I don't know when I'll be able to master it. Therefore, this Frost Talisman is not of much value to me. Instead of getting bogged down in learning this talisman, I'd rather learn something else that is more valuable."
Zhao Xingqiu was greatly shocked.
The fact that Lady Bingxian actually admitted that she was inferior to Li Xuanbing is the highest praise Li Xuanbing could receive.
Who would have thought that the nobody he picked up from Bai Wanxi was actually an extraordinary genius who even made the Ice Fairy have to admit defeat?
If I hadn't heard Ice Fairy's evaluation with my own ears, it would have been truly unbelievable!
"Ice Fairy is too modest. This talisman is actually not that difficult to learn. Please allow me to draw it again."
Zhang Lingshan didn't care whether the Ice Fairy agreed or not, and took out paper and pen again.
This time, he painted extremely slowly.
Not only could Lord Bingxian see every single texture clearly, but even Zhao Xingqiu could see it clearly.
A full half-hour passed.
Zhang Lingshan said, "This talisman is guaranteed to teach you everything. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."
"Well."
After pondering for a long time, the Ice Immortal finally said, "Congratulations, you've convinced me. You'll get a Golden Immortal spot."
That's all.
With a gentle flick of her right hand, the two jade talismans landed in the hands of Zhang Lingshan and Zhao Xingqiu respectively.
"Go ahead, someone will take you to the Golden Immortal Pavilion. I still need to examine this talisman carefully."
"Thank you, Lady Ice Fairy."
Zhang Lingshan was overjoyed, then took out a book from his storage ring and gave it to her, saying, "These are all the ice talismans I drew, from easy to difficult, step by step. I wish you, Ice Immortal, a speedy comprehension."
This book is a killer move; sending it out when the other party disagrees will surely sway them and achieve your goal.
But before I could even take it out, the Ice Fairy had already agreed.
In return, Zhang Lingshan sent the book to the other party, which was enough to show his sincerity.
Sincerity is mutual.
Now that he had secured the Golden Immortal title, Zhang Lingshan was determined to see it through to the end.
After receiving the talisman, Lady Ice Fairy slightly raised her beautiful eyes and watched Zhang Lingshan and Zhao Xingqiu teleport away. (End of Chapter)
