This kind of heavenly material could not be cut with ordinary iron. It could only be used with wood-attributed equipment, or else the spiritual energy within would weaken and the original value of the item would be reduced.

A ray of light flashed in the air as the peach wood sword landed on the snow lotus and cut it down.

With a wave of Han Yan's wrist, the snow lotus flew into his hand. He patted the storage bag at his waist, took out a wood box and placed the snow lotus inside. This kind of wood box was refined using Spirit Sealing Wood. If placed within, the snow lotus would not dissipate the spirit energy over time, allowing it to survive for a longer period of time.

After putting away the Snow Lotus, Han Yan put the Peach Blossom Sword into the storage bag. Just as he was about to leave, the Snow Lotus' roots visibly withered at a visible rate. Han Yan originally did not take this scene to heart. Normally, when heavenly materials and earthly treasures were taken, their roots would wither. However, what surprised him was that after the snow lotus had withered, an enormous cold energy was actually released from within. That cold energy was shockingly large, and in the blink of an eye, it swept out and arrived in front of Han Yan.

Such speed had exceeded Han Yan's expectations. After being startled for a moment, he suddenly retreated backwards, and continuously formed hand seals with his hands. A blue flame was released, directly rushing towards the cold current. The blue flames collided with the cold stream, producing a 'chi chi' sound. The temperature of the flame was dissipating at an alarming rate. In just a few breaths, the flame had completely collapsed. The speed of the cold flow increased once again, spreading to the surroundings.

Han Yan retreated three hundred meters before stopping. He stared fixedly at the ground in front of him as his eyes flickered. Although the energy in the cold stream was very strong, it stopped when it had spread to less than three hundred meters away. The ground that was originally filled with plants had now turned into a world of ice. The plant was frozen in an instant, just like a beautiful ice sculpture. The moonlight shone on it, giving it a chilling glow.

A gust of night wind blew past, and an ice-cold chill directly pounced over. Han Yan's body trembled, and he couldn't help but shiver. After all, Han Yan was a golden core stage Ranker, and normal cold Qi could not even make him shiver. The fact that this cold Qi could make his body react, could only mean one thing, that the temperature of this cold Qi was shockingly low.

Han Yan's spirit sense moved, and landed at the root of the Snow Lotus, as he carefully tried to sense it. This sensing caused Han Yan to widen his eyes. As soon as his soul consciousness entered it, he felt a sharp pain, as if his formless soul consciousness was about to be frozen by this energy. Sensing up to here, Han Yan could not help but gasp, and exclaimed: "So cold!"

Suddenly, there was a flash of light in the air, and the Xiao Hui appeared in front of him. Its claws held over a hundred different types of medicinal ingredients, and not only that, it even had one in its mouth. It opened its mouth and spat out the medicinal plant from its mouth. "Boss, I knew that you were going to pick this Snow Lotus. How about it? Did you get it?" Its gaze swept across the Snow Lotus's roots, and its originally joyful expression instantly froze. It cried out involuntarily, "Frozen Profound Stones …"

Han Yan was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Ice Profound Stone?"

The Xiao Hui nodded, and quickly threw the herbs in its claws in front of Han Yan, explaining: "That's right, I never thought that there would be an ice profound stone under the snow lotus, I really didn't think that such a normal small island would be able to produce a treasure like the ice profound stone." As it spoke till here, it sighed and said: "Unfortunately, Ice Profound Stones can only have a certain degree of amplification towards ice attribute magic. Your magic techniques are either Fire Element or wind attribute, it's basically useless …"

Hearing this, Han Yan's brows twitched as he said. "Are you saying that after refining this Ice Profound Stone into a treasure, it can increase the power of ice attribute techniques?"

The Xiao Hui said: "Of course, otherwise why would this stone be called an Ice Profound Stone …"

After cultivating for so many years, Han Yan had never refined a treasure of his own, but after seeing the Ice Profound Stone, this thought surfaced in his mind. Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal and green small sword were both good magical equipment, and although the magical equipment that they snatched were not bad, in terms of fondness, they were not as good as the magical equipment that they refined themselves. After all, every step of the refining process was personally completed by him. This was a feeling that no other magic treasure could match up to.

At this moment, Han Yan had a thought, and that was to refine a treasure that belonged to him. But he knew in his heart that this was not the best time to refine magical equipment. First, he would raise his cultivation. Thinking till this point, Han Yan patted the storage bag on his waist, took out the green small sword, and under the control of his consciousness, it whizzed out, flying straight to the root of the Snow Lotus.

The small sword landed, and in the air where the dust and dirt on the ground had been scattered, an ice crystal clear stone appeared in front of them. The rock was only about a foot long, and it emitted a cold mist. It looked like a thousand-year old ice rock. Han Yan's brows twitched, and the green small sword flew into the air once again. In the blink of an eye, it cut the Frozen Profound Stone off the ground. With a wave of its hand, it grabbed the Frozen Profound Stone.

In an instant, a bone-piercing cold energy emanated from the Ice Profound Stone. It was as if his entire body was frozen, his blood stopped circulating, and his heartbeat slowed down. Even breathing had become difficult. Looking again at the surface of his skin, layers of ice crystals as thin as cicada's wings were rapidly forming, sealing more than half of Han Yan's body in the blink of an eye.

Han Yan's right hand formed a fist, he clenched it tightly and bellowed, "Break!" With a "pa da" sound, the ice crystals formed on the surface of his body broke and scattered.

The Xiao Hui moved in a flash and landed on Han Yan's shoulder, asking: "Boss, is the temperature of this Ice Profound Stone high?"

"It is indeed very low." Han Yan took a deep breath and the spirit energy in his body condensed onto the palm of his hand, wrapping the Ice Profound Stone within. Then, he glanced at the herbs thrown over by the Xiao Hui and smiled. "I didn't expect you to have all the ingredients here."

The Xiao Hui proudly raised its head and boasted: "Of course, there is nothing in this world that I, Xiao Hui, am not able to do."

Han Yan smiled slightly, then walked in the direction of the cave with a very slow pace, as if he was enjoying this peaceful time.

After a moment, Han Yan walked to the front of the cave and spoke to the Xiao Hui on his shoulder: "For this period of time, I want to learn alchemy, you should also find a place to cultivate!"

The Xiao Hui nodded and said: "Boss, don't worry, I won't disturb your two people's world."

Han Yan waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that. You have already devoured so many Nascent Souls, if you don't hurry up and refine them, the remnant thoughts in your Nascent Soul will affect your mind …"

The Xiao Hui's expression became serious and said in a serious tone: "Boss, I will refine it quickly, don't worry." With that, its body flickered and it disappeared into the night.

Han Yan smiled slightly, then sat cross-legged on a clean ground in front of the cave and entered into cultivation. This cultivation had forgotten the time. Perhaps because he had just survived a disaster and was once again with his beloved, this was the first time that Han Yan had relaxed since he started cultivating. Unknowingly, his thoughts became much more relaxed. Unknowingly, he had become one with his surroundings. At this moment, it was as if he had become a part of the world, a part that could not be distinguished from the others.

This feeling was very strange and special.

Han Yan felt as though his entire being was floating, as if he was lying in the clouds. He didn't know how long this feeling had been there, but when the first rays of the morning sun shone down on the island, a new day had begun. As everyone knew, every morning was the time when the spiritual energy was the densest. At this time, the effect of training was several times greater than other times. For the deserted island, the place with the densest spiritual energy was naturally the small hill at the center of the island.

In front of the dwelling, walked out with a flash of white light. Her expression no longer held her usual haughtiness; She had originally wanted to call Han Yan to help her cultivate, but the moment she came out, she saw him sitting cross-legged on the ground not far away from her. Just as she wanted to call out to Han Yan, she opened her eyes wide because at this moment, she saw a scene that she would never be able to forget in her entire life.

The sunlight shone onto Han Yan's body, and his expression was extremely relaxed, with an indescribable serenity. The storage bag at his waist, under an uncontrollable situation, suddenly opened and flew out, landing above his head as it slowly rotated. As the rotation speed became faster and faster, the surrounding spiritual energy was sucked in at an unimaginable speed. Even a portion of the spiritual energy in the plant was absorbed. With Han Yan at the center, it formed a huge vortex of spirit energy. The spirit energy in the center of the vortex condensed into a thin, almost white line, and flew into the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal.2

The Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal was emitting a faint white light that was spinning at an unimaginable speed. Even with Xiao Yuyao's cultivation, he was unable to sense it clearly. Suddenly, the light on the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal started to shine, the green dragon on the Jade Seal suddenly opened its mouth, waves after waves of pure spirit energy shot out from within, spiralling in the air and flying in front of Han Yan.

Han Yan slowly opened his mouth, and the energy suddenly flew in. As the spirit energy that was flying in increased, Han Yan's body released a faint white light, and the clothes on his body suddenly fluttered without wind. In the next moment, Han Yan gave off a different feeling. He did not look like a cultivator, but more like an immortal.

In front of the cave, Xiao Yuyao opened her mouth wide, dumbstruck by the change in Han Yan, a familiar yet unfamiliar word suddenly echoed in her mind - sudden insight.

This was a moment of enlightenment. Only when one gained enlightenment would the surrounding spiritual energy condense around the body, causing the cultivation level to greatly increase. However, there was a difference between the situation with Han Yan, during the moment of enlightenment, only spirit energy would enter his body, and at that moment, what entered Han Yan's body was not spirit energy, but refined pure spirit energy.

With so much spirit energy entering Han Yan's body, Xiao Yuyao was worried that if Han Yan did not increase his cultivation, the energy would tear his body apart. Just as Xiao Yuyao was worried, Han Yan's body suddenly released a huge Qi, which was the realm of the Cultivator In Golden Pill Stage. As soon as his aura appeared, it rose at an astonishing speed. After a few breaths, it increased by one rank. Han Yan's cultivation had increased from the early stage of the golden core stage to the middle stage of the Aurous Core Stage.

His aura continued to grow stronger and stronger, lasting for two hours. When the sun broke through the clouds and appeared above the Eastern Ocean, the immense spirit energy surrounding Han Yan slowly dissipated. The light that it emitted had disappeared. In a flash, it entered the storage bag by Han Yan's waist and the storage bag closed itself.

Han Yan's body released a huge aura, which slowly retracted itself, and returned to its previous appearance. At the same time, he suddenly opened his eyes. A bright light shot out from his deep eyes. In that moment, Han Yan's eyes seemed to be able to see through heaven and earth, as if the entire world was within his grasp. With just a thought, he could destroy the world.
