Huang Yiyun was filled with shock. Her master had repeatedly warned her when passing on the cultivation technique that she must progress step by step, or else she would be playing with fire and risk self-immolation. If she were to become possessed by her inner demons, no one could save her – at most, they could only prolong her life.

Even if her master were to come, there might not be a good solution to her problem, let alone Su Mu, who was only at the Fate Palace Realm.

Yet Su Mu had not only saved her twice but also knew how to resolve the issue with her cultivation technique, which she found utterly unbelievable.

"What kind of fortuitous encounter has he had?" Swallowing hard, ever since she met Su Mu, everything about him seemed so inconceivable. He must have obtained an unimaginable opportunity; otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve what he had.

Comparing their fortunes, she suddenly realized that her own opportunities were nothing compared to Su Mu's.

"See those herbs? They are all cold-natured. If you boil them into an elixir and take it regularly, it can suppress the fiery energy in your body."

"However, to completely solve your problem, you'll need an ice-attributed cultivation technique, but I'll find a way for that later."

After listening to Su Mu, Huang Yiyun nodded blankly, still unable to recover from her astonishment.

"I only brought five bottles of elixir down here, so I can only take five bottles back up. I hope it can help you hold on for a while." After speaking, Su Mu took out five elixir bottles. He hadn't thought much about it at the time and only brought that many with him.

"Can't we just go up and come back down?" Huang Yiyun, regaining her senses, asked with confusion. This way, they could bring more cold-natured elixirs back up.

Su Mu shook his head and glanced at the Ice Spirit Essence. Its volume had already shrunk by half. Once they went up, they wouldn't be able to come back down.

"The ice layer is supported by that Ice Spirit Essence. Now that more than half of it has been consumed, once we leave, the water will immediately flood this place, and then we won't be able to take anything with us."

"Moreover, we didn't bring a jade box, so the herbs can't be preserved. We must hurry and get things done while we can."

Huang Yiyun nodded in understanding.

"By the way, we have to stay here for quite some time. What about Little Huan? She must be worried sick." Su Mu suddenly furrowed his brows. They still had to stay here for several days, and it would be a waste not to use up the herbs. Little Huan must be going crazy with worry by now.

"I have a way to let Little Huan know."

Find the original at " pa𝑤read.com ".

Su Mu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the ice layer. How could they notify her without going up?

"This half of the jade pendant is identical to the other half, which Little Huan has. As long as I channel my energy into the pendant, Little Huan will know I'm alright." Huang Yiyun took the half of the jade pendant from her chest and spoke with a smile.

Su Mu looked at the half jade pendant with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't noticed it before and didn't expect it to have such an effect.

"Alright, you notify Little Huan, and I'll go prepare the elixir."

"And drink up all these elixirs to free up the bottles."

Huang Yiyun nodded, watching Su Mu turn to busy himself, her lips curving upwards involuntarily.

Above the Ice Spirit Spring, Little Huan had finished dealing with the corpses and was stained with blood. She squatted by the water to wash the bloodstains from her clothes. After waiting for more than a day and still seeing no movement from beneath the water, she was frantic with worry.

"How is Miss doing? Did Young Master Su Mu cure her?"

"Miss, you must be alright, you will be alright…"

"Hum!"

As she prayed in her heart, the jade pendant on her chest suddenly emitted a faint glow. Little Huan looked down at the pendant and her eyes instantly lit up with joy.

"Miss is alright, thank goodness, Miss is alright!"

…

Below the ice, Su Mu pulled up herbs one by one. Since they couldn't light a fire here, they had to resort to the most primitive method of pounding to extract the elixir.

Huang Yiyun drank a bottle of restorative elixir, and her complexion improved, but she was still unable to move. Watching Su Mu's ceaseless activity, she was somewhat entranced.

Before her injuries were healed, Huang Yiyun couldn't take the cold-natured elixir, so the extracted elixir was mostly used by Su Mu himself.

Time flew by, and seven days passed. There was only one day left until the Martial House recruitment.

"Phew…" Su Mu exited his cultivation, exhaling a breath of cold air, shaking off the frost from his body with a powerful aura.

"Fate Palace Realm, Sixth Layer!"

Slowly standing up, his upright figure was like an unsheathed divine sword, invincible!

In these seven days, he not only broke through two realms but also comprehended the third move of the Lawless Sword Trick, just one step away from using it.

"Lawless Sword Trick, Third Move—Unite as One!"

The essence of Unite as One was simple: Ten thousand swords unite as one!

The power of the Lawless Sword Trick's third move was comparable to a mid-tier Celestial Rank Battle Technique, truly unstoppable!

"I'm starting to truly touch upon the Sword Intent. Now all I need is to fight." He murmured to himself. While it was exhilarating to cultivate here, the mystery of the sword lay in combat, in killing!

One could never grasp the subtleties of the sword by working in isolation.

"As long as I comprehend the Sword Intent, I can use the third move, Unite as One. Even without any breakthrough in cultivation, I can slay anyone below the Transcendence Realm!"

Feeling Su Mu's sharp aura, Huang Yiyun also stopped her cultivation. Her injuries had mostly healed three days ago, and after using the cold-natured elixir to suppress the fiery energy, her cultivation went smoothly.

Looking at Su Mu, standing tall and straight like a sword, her gaze was fixed, unwilling to move away.

"Yiyun, it's time for us to leave." Su Mu glanced around. The Ice Spirit Essence and the cold-natured spirit plants were almost exhausted by their use. It was time to leave.

Huang Yiyun paused, slowly standing up with a sense of reluctance. Were they really leaving? She felt somewhat unwilling to part.

"Tomorrow is the day of the Martial House recruitment, right? I want to participate too!" Huang Yiyun spoke slowly, her eyes firm. She was determined to go to the Martial House to find her sister!

Su Mu smiled and nodded, looking at the ice layer above that had thinned considerably, his eyes narrowing slightly. Now, he didn't need a sword to break through the ice layer.

"Can I call you brother?" Just as they were about to move, Huang Yiyun's voice suddenly rang out, a little timid and uncertain.

Su Mu turned his head and looked at her in astonishment. Huang Yiyun hurriedly spoke, "My sister hasn't married you yet, so it wouldn't be right for me to call you brother-in-law and take advantage of you."

"So I can only call you brother."

Su Mu chuckled, was such an explanation necessary?

"Sure."

"Get ready, the water's impact will be very strong."

Seeing Su Mu nod, Huang Yiyun's face lit up with a radiant smile, then quickly composed herself, holding the five elixir bottles tightly, looking solemnly at the ice layer.

"Bang!"

Su Mu bent his legs and shot towards the ice layer like a human cannonball!

After a loud explosion, the Ice Spirit Spring poured down from above!

The pressure of the entire Ice Spirit Spring rushing down was absolutely terrifying. Any shelter would be nearly ineffective. The best method was to charge through!

"Follow me!"

"Lawless Sword Trick, Question the World!"

Su Mu roared, brandishing his sword and charging directly into the oncoming spring water, with Huang Yiyun following closely behind!
