There are four ice system spells recorded in the book, namely Frost Shield, Ice Fog, Ice Arrow and Mystic Ice Blade. Among them, Ice Arrow has been learned, Mystic Ice Blade can only be learned by a foundation period cultivator, and Qin Lingyun mainly learns Frost Shield and Ice Fog.

  In the water system magic, Qin Lingyun also learned water therapy and multiple water arrows. Water therapy can heal injuries, and multiple water arrows can be used to set traps.

  "Its rare for someone to possess the Ice Spirit Root, so the ice-based spells attached at the back of this book are probably just fillers. I didnt think anyone could actually practice them."

  Qin Lingyun pinched her fingers, recited an incantation, and a thin layer of icy shield instantly condensed. Her consciousness stirred, and the Qingling Sword flew up to collide with the icy shield.

  "Bang......"

  A crisp sound echoed, and a spider web-like crack appeared on the surface of the icy shield, but it did not immediately collapse.

  "Defense is still pretty good, can withstand Qingling Swords one blow. When my divine sense and spiritual power are strengthened again, defense should rise again." Qin Lingyun said with satisfaction.

  The power of magic is gradually strengthened with the improvement of the boundary, and the same magic, the foundation-building period monk and the refining-qi period monk are not the same concept.

  Frost Shield is a defensive spell that creates an elliptical ice shield using spiritual power to block attacks from magical artifacts or spells.

  Frost fog is a white mist that can hide ones figure and, more importantly, temporarily block spiritual detection. Enemies will have difficulty distinguishing reality for a short time, making it a very practical spell.

  Qin Lingyun needs to practice is the proficiency of magic, gestures and incantations cannot be wrong, and also need to speed up the casting speed, otherwise the magic has not been released yet will be instantly killed by the enemy.

  "Frost Shield for main defense, Frost Mist for concealment, Ice Arrow Technique for offense. Combining these three spells together, I wonder if I can defeat other sixth-level Qi Refining cultivators?"

  Qin Lingyun had no actual combat experience, so she didnt know just how strong her abilities were, but she could feel herself getting stronger.

  Qin Lingyun, in addition to consolidating her cultivation and practicing her spells, also took a look at the talismans she had on hand. She was still very interested in these consumable items.

  In order to consume less spiritual power when casting spells and to cast spells faster, cultivators often save some spells in the form of talismans. When they need to use them, they can simply throw out the talismans and open them with a small amount of spiritual power, which is convenient and practical.

  Not all spells can be stored on the talisman, and many spells cannot be stored. At the same time, making a talisman is not simple, it requires a lot of special materials, not to mention that the success rate of refining is extremely low, which is also an important reason for the high value of the talisman.

  "Invisibility talisman, fireball talisman, and golden talisman. There are three talismans now." Qin Lingyun counted.

  Qin Lingyun suddenly found a black ring in her storage bag, an ancient and elegant black ring with a bird shape on top that was slightly raised, looking at its shape, it should be the legendary divine beast Qing Luan.

  "This azure ring was purchased from that rare armorer and has been left in the storage bag, forgotten. There is a small ancient character seal on it, I dont know whats sealed inside."

  Qin Lingyun picked up the Qingluan ring, inputting spiritual energy into it, continuously and unceasingly. Two hours later, Qin Lingyuns internal spiritual energy was almost depleted, but this Qingluan ring still didnt show any signs of movement. Those spiritual energies were like a mud ox entering the great river, gone without a trace.

  Then, Qin Lingyuns hand seals changed again, and she tried many methods to unseal the seal from Murong Chens memories, but none of them worked.

  "It seems that this seal cant be broken for now, lets just say well deal with it later when our cultivation is stronger."

  A month later, Qin Lingyun sat cross-legged on the bluestone, opening her mouth to spit out a faint blue breath, and her eyes flashed with icy blue flames, which was a sign of solidifying her realm.

  "After three consecutive months of closed-door cultivation, I finally advanced from the fourth layer of Qi Refining to the sixth layer. Cultivating immortality is indeed a dull thing." Qin Lingyuns entire body was enveloped in a crystal clear pale blue jade light, and she smiled faintly.

  "Unexpectedly, it seems that Ive overused the Qi Increasing Pill. Now, taking one more pill doesnt increase my cultivation even a bit, its effectiveness has been lost."

  Qin Lingyun had no choice but to consider refining a higher level of Huang Lian Dan. Fortunately, the materials for Huang Lian Dan were all relatively complete, and she could start refining at any time.

  "Judging from the situation with the Qi-increasing Pill, the Huáng Líng Dān will eventually lose its effect as well. When that time comes, Ill have to refine the Qīng Kuí Dān, but theres a lack of medicinal herbs in the storage bag, and the Qīng Kuí Dān cant sustain my cultivation forever either. Later on, Ill still need to purchase more pill formulas and medicinal materials to meet my cultivation needs."

  Qin Lingyu thought for a moment, then decided to go to the town to take a look. Having been in seclusion for so long, she indeed felt a bit lonely. Moreover, being alone and focusing on cultivation made it difficult to gauge her progress, and some of the difficulties in her cultivation required seeking out relevant classics to resolve her doubts.

  Out of the cave, Qin Lingyun opened the outermost misty illusion with her fingers pinched together, stepped out of the clouds and fog, and stood between the trees in the valley.

  She pointed her finger forward, the Qingling Sword whistled out, instantly enlarged, Qin Lingyun jumped out a step, lightly stepped on the Qingling Sword, and soared towards the direction of the town.

  In the midst of clouds and mist, a small cluster of pale blue light flew forward rapidly. Qin Lingyun saw from afar the winding Nu River, resembling a dragon snake, with its turbulent waters rolling and flowing, majestic in momentum, with smoke and mist rising high.

  Nujiang Fang City was just near Nujiang, Qin Lingyun landed with a flash of light, and descended nearby. Her divine sense swept around, but there was nothing unusual, so she stepped forward a few steps, her fingers forming a seal, striking the outer illusory array.

  The mountain valley where the village is located is shrouded in a double-layered array, and the outermost illusion array is not very powerful. Its main function is to confuse and disorient. If an ordinary person accidentally enters this place, they may wander around for several days without realizing it, thinking that they have traversed multiple mountains when in fact they have only taken a few steps.

  However, for cultivators with a general cultivation level above the fourth layer of refining Qi, the illusion array would be seen through at a glance. The town is a place where cultivators exchange and trade, not some secretive mountain gate that doesnt allow outsiders to snoop around.

  The phantoms parted to the left and right, revealing a path, and Qin Lingyun walked in all the way.

  Standing on that road again, Qin Lingyun looked out and saw that although it was daytime, the streets were still bustling with activity. A large number of cultivators gathered in this place, some of whom had been staying in the streets for a long time because they felt safe here and could exchange for whatever items they needed at any time. Some scattered cultivators even rented a room among them to cultivate.

  Of course, some lone cultivators with secrets are impossible to stay in the town, they almost dont trust anyone except themselves, including the master of the town.

  Qin Lingyun walked towards the direction of the market town, and from afar, a monk came walking over. Qin Lingyuns eyes scanned him, and to her surprise, it was a familiar face.

  Wearing a green shirt, his chubby face was creased into a smile, with a distinctive large mole on his chin, Fang Datong walked towards Qin Lingyun.

  With a glance, the spiritual light enveloping Qin Lingyun revealed that she had cultivated to the sixth layer of Qi Refining, while Fang Dasong himself was only at the fifth layer. Fang Dasong immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."

  Fang Datong felt that this young nun looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he just couldnt remember. Of course, he didnt take this feeling to heart; every day he met many monks and nuns, and it was common to have a sense of déjà vu.

  Qin Lings beautiful face seemed to smile but not quite, she secretly laughed in her heart. More than three months ago, Fang Datong was still showing disdain, now he was humble and courteous, how ironic.

  "Hmph..." Qin Lingyun let out a cold snort, didnt even give him a glance, and headed straight to the market.

  Fang Datong was left standing aside, his face involuntarily showing some embarrassment, but the other partys cultivation was higher than his, what could he do.

  "Fang Daxiongs heart was filled with malice as he said: Even if youre one level higher than me, what does it matter? If we really fight, Im not necessarily your opponent."

  The outcome of a battle between masters depends on many factors, and cultivation is just one of the influencing factors. Techniques, magical artifacts, spiritual beasts, and more all have an impact.

  However, Fang Daxiang knew that this female cultivator looked so young at the moment and was already in the sixth layer of Qi refining. It was very likely to advance in the future, while his own cultivation had stagnated. The gap between them would only grow wider, so he just muttered a few curses in his heart and didnt dare show it on his face.

  Just as Qin Lingyuns figure was about to enter the street, Fang Daxiangs expression changed, he finally remembered that this female cultivator had come three months ago, at that time she was only at the fourth layer of Qi Refining.

  "How is this possible? Three months, from cultivating Qi to the fourth level to the sixth level, such a speed isnt even comparable to the cultivation speed of the most powerful Tian Ling Root."

  What kind of family and sect can cultivate such a genius, for a moment, Fang Da Tongs heart surged with deep regret. He regretted that he had not seen the talent of this unassuming genius at first glance, and thus offended her.

  Actually, Fang Datong was misled by himself, but its not his fault either. Who would have thought that Qin Lingyuns blood would have such a heaven-defying effect?

  Fang Datong thought to himself: "Looking at the attitude of that female cultivator just now, its clear that she bears a grudge."

  Fang Datong thought about it more and more, and became increasingly afraid. He could only comfort himself by thinking: "Maybe they didnt even notice me, a small fry like myself?"

  Fang Datong thought for a moment and finally made up his mind. He quickened his pace and chased after Qin Lingyus direction.

  At this moment, Qin Lingyun had arrived at the place where the monks were setting up their stalls. She took a glance and found that the monks setting up stalls at this moment were greatly different from those of last time, apparently changing all the time.

  Last time she dug up the mysterious Qing Luan ring, although it didnt break the seal, but it was still a great harvest. This time she was full of expectations again, so Qin Lingyun stepped lightly and watched house by house.

  Suddenly, Qin Lingyuns eyes lit up and she walked towards one of the stalls.
