The essence of the Ice Crystal Blood Lotus is a black liquid with a thick, blood-like glow on its surface. After dripping a few drops into one's mouth, a strong and intense cold energy immediately enters the body.

  This extreme cold air was like a whirlwind, instantly spreading throughout Qin Lingyun's entire body. Afterwards, a layer of blood-red ice crystals actually condensed on the surface of Qin Lingyun's body, and her whole person was sealed in ice.

  This is also the most dangerous time. If Qin Lingyun can't smoothly absorb the extremely cold air, she will become an ice sculpture and never wake up again.

  Although only a few drops of the essence of Ice Crystal Blood Lotus, the degree of coldness is also extremely violent. If Qin Lingyun hadn't cultivated those hundred movements for a long time, I'm afraid that extreme cold air would have frozen her blood as soon as it entered her body.

  Although her entire body was in severe pain, Qin Lingyun could still barely hold on. She activated her spiritual power and began to absorb the extremely cold air that filled her body, slowly using it to transform her own body. This was a long-term process that required extreme patience and endurance to complete gradually.

  It took Qin Lingyun half a year to fully absorb the extremely cold air that had been sealed in ice.

  All the crimson ice crystals on her body were absorbed into her body, and Qin Lingyun felt that with just a thought, her entire body could emit a chilling aura that pierced to the bone.

  "It seems that after cultivating to a high and profound realm, wherever one goes, a single thought can freeze everything within a thousand miles, this is not an exaggeration."

  It took Qin Lingyun almost a year to cultivate the first layer of the Primary Ice Crystal Body, and this speed was not fast. To complete the entire Primary Ice Crystal Body within ten years, she must work even harder.

  In this year, the blood python has not appeared at all, and it is unknown where it went.

  Qin Lingyun did not want the Blood Python to get into trouble and not return, because if that happened, she would be trapped in this cave mansion and could never leave again. Without the help of the elixir's power, her cultivation could not advance, and no matter how much time was given to her, it would be useless.

  The Ice Crystal Body should be said to belong to a kind of Jia Shi's Lian Ti Zhī Fǎ, relying on the extremely cold air in the jade bottle to cultivate to the primary ice crystal body shouldn't have much problem, but wanting to continue to upgrade, the jade bottle's ice crystal blood lotus essence is not enough.

  "I hope the cicadas can come back within ten years." Qin Lingyun thought to herself.

  Qin Lingyun continued to devote herself to the dry and arduous cultivation, while Bing Jing's magical body was constantly perfected day and night in the midst of tempering.

  In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.

  The vast hall's ceiling was inlaid with precious glow-in-the-dark pearls, and underneath it was paved with intricately patterned luxurious carpets. Twelve thick stone pillars carved with flowers supported the entire hall.

  A woman in blue clothing, her beautiful face shone with a layer of crystal-like jade light. Her appearance was not the ultimate beauty that could topple cities, but she had a charm that made people's hearts skip a beat. What caught the eye most was her skin, which was as perfect as crystal jade, making it impossible to look away once you saw it.

  The woman in blue was Qin Lingyun who had been alone in the hall for six years. She stepped out with her jade-like feet bare, let out a gentle breath of icy air and said: "Snow falls."

  A whirlwind swirled around her body, and her raven-black hair danced in the air. Suddenly, white snowflakes appeared out of thin air, like goose down, and fell to the ground before vanishing into thin air.

  With just one word, snowflakes can dance in the air, this is the power of the Ice Crystal Body. Qin Lingyun has been cultivating for six years and has already reached the seventh level. As long as she cultivates to the tenth level, after breaking through, she will become a junior Ice Crystal Body.

  Just then, the entire cave began to shake violently and a strange screeching sound echoed from afar.

  Qin Ling lightly pressed her thin red lips, and a hint of helplessness appeared in her bright eyes: "Again, every few days you come to bother me once, it's really annoying."

  Starting from the second year, the ice crystal blood lotus in that room of the cave began to make strange noises and constantly collided with the stone gate, as if it wanted to break through the seal and rush out. At first, Qin Lingyun was indeed frightened, but later on, she got used to it.

  Every few days, Bing Jing would make a scene again, and Qin Lingyun could only pretend not to hear it and ignore her.

  "Golden little beast, it's time to come out and eat." Qin Lingyun shouted.

  But there was no response from the Golden Beast, and for these six years, if it weren't for the Golden Beast's constant companionship, she would have probably become irritable due to loneliness and wouldn't be as calm as she is now. However, the Golden Beast also gained a lot of benefits and swallowed a large amount of elixirs.

  "Why haven't you come out yet?"

  Qin Lingyun felt a hint of surprise and then used her divine sense to probe into the spirit beast pouch.

  "Unexpectedly, it has pupated." Inside the Spirit Beast Bag, the Golden Little Beast had transformed into a small golden cocoon, just like the Bloodsucking Lion Beast before. This was actually the Golden Little Beast's good fortune; as long as it emerged from the cocoon, it would be able to advance in rank.

  "The Golden Beast and I are the same, we both need to constantly consume elixirs to advance, it's just that I don't know what kind of changes will occur after advancing."

  Qin Lingyun turned around and waved her sleeve, the snowflakes that were still dancing in the air instantly disappeared, as if they had never appeared before. She returned to her room, where the sound of Ice Crystal Blood Lotus's creation and the rumbling noise had stopped. Qin Lingyun began her cultivation once again, but she didn't know that on the left side of the room, a narrow gap was opened at the bottom of the stone door, and a streak of blood light flew out.

  Three days later, Qin Lingyun woke up from her meditation. She pushed open the stone gate and was ready to go to the main hall for some exercise.

  As soon as the door opened, a bloody light rushed towards her, she dodged and evaded, but the bloody light drilled into her forehead.

  Then there was a sea of blood light, Qin Lingyun instantly lost consciousness, her body had already floated up strangely, sitting cross-legged in the air, with a rotating blood lotus appearing under her, and a bloody light enveloped her entire body.

  Streaks of blood light were like long snakes, interwoven and crisscrossing, Qin Lingyun was as if she had fallen into the abyss of blood light, her open eyes were also full of blood light.

  Bing Jing Xue Mo Lian is a strange creature that survives by parasitism. The Blood Python had killed an extreme northern sea turtle and found the Bing Jing Xue Mo Lian inside its body, bringing it back to seal in a room. Over hundreds of years, without the nourishment of a host, the Bing Jing Xue Mo Lian gradually approached the brink of destruction, something that the Blood Python was unaware of.

  The ice crystal blood lotus that finally broke the seal chose Qin Lingyun as its host, and once it succeeded, it would become a symbiotic state with Qin Lingyun. This was temporarily harmless to Qin Lingyun, only beneficial.

  However, in the long run, once the Ice Crystal Blood Orchid is truly mature, it will devour the host to nourish itself, so it's still very dangerous for the Ice Crystal Blood Orchid to stay inside.

  Half a day later, all the blood light converged into Qin Lingyun's body, and a vivid crimson lotus pattern appeared on her left arm. The Ice Crystal Blood Lotus had successfully parasitized.

  Qin Lingyun slowly regained consciousness, still feeling bewildered and unsure of what had just happened. However, as her divine sense permeated her body, she was shocked to discover that her Ice Crystal Physique had suddenly broken through three layers, entering the small realm of the tenth layer. This was truly unbelievable.

  Her left arm was slightly sore and swollen, Qin Ling's delicate eyebrows furrowed, she rolled up her sleeve to reveal the pattern of a blood lotus flower.

  "Isn't this the appearance of Ice Crystal Blood Orchid? How did it end up on my arm?" Qin Lingyun had a bad premonition in her heart, and she walked several steps to the stone gate on the left.

  After a moment of hesitation, she pushed open the stone gate, and her spiritual energy flowed as she made preparations for defense. Looking around, the room was still empty, but when Qin Lingyu first saw the room, it was also empty, so she didn't let her guard down.

  "Blood Python said not to enter the room, but what just happened was too strange. If I don't investigate, my heart will always be uneasy." Qin Lingyun thought for a while and finally decided to enter the room.

  Even with some danger, she believed that after cultivating the Ice Crystal Demon Body, she had a very high resistance to the cold aura of the Ice Crystal Blood Lotus and would not be in great danger for a short period of time.

  She cautiously took a step into the room, waited for a while, and since no danger occurred, Qin Lingyun continued to walk in.

  He walked step by step until he reached the center of the room, but nothing unusual happened. His divine sense scanned past, and there were no restrictions in the room at all.

  "The Ice Crystal Blood Orchid is really gone, could the mark on my arm be the Ice Crystal Blood Orchid? Since there's no Ice Crystal Blood Orchid here, will the Blood Python take its anger out on me when it returns? What if it kills me and takes away my storage bag and spirit beast bag?"

  Qin Lingyun's heart gradually became tense, the Ice Crystal Blood Lotus had gone missing, and she couldn't shirk her responsibility. At first, Xue Jiao hadn't taken away her storage bag and spiritual beast bag because he needed her to do something, and didn't want to provoke her strong dislike and resistance, which would make things difficult later on.

  And this time, as long as the Ice Crystal Blood Orchid disappears, the Blood Python will have an excuse to take away her belongings. A large number of spiritual medicines, seven-mouthed small seven-star sword, golden small beast and so on will no longer belong to her.

  "No way, I can't stay in the cave anymore. I won't entrust my fate to the Blood Python's hands. I'll think of every possible means to leave this place and escape as far away as possible!"

  Qin Lingyun thought back and forth, but the only option was to escape from this road. Staying in the cave would ultimately lead to a dead end. With her being a small cultivator who had just entered the cultivation world for not long, at the 8th layer of Qi Refining, she was no match for Xue Jiao in terms of wit or strength. Waiting for Xue Jiao to return and then trying to escape would likely result in certain death.

  "But every part of the cave has been tried, and there's simply no way to break the seal. How am I supposed to escape?" Qin Lingyun paced back and forth in the room, biting her lip, her eyes darting about restlessly.

  Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind: "There's still one place that hasn't been tried, maybe it can break the seal?"
