I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 193 Yeti and Mutation
After completing all the preparations at the camp, Jemin didn't linger for a moment.

He stepped directly into a vortex shimmering with silver-white runes through the teleportation array inside the camp.

As the light and shadow shifted, when his vision cleared again, he found himself inside a forward outpost established by the wizarding legion in the Frost Dark Realm.

This forward outpost is one of the wizards' achievements in the past two years, representing a significant retreat in the battle lines between the two races.

The entire outpost was forged from high-strength special alloys and anti-magic runes. It was completely sealed, with a thick layer of frost on its surface, exuding a cold and solid aura.

Inside, a stable magical circuit maintains a pleasant temperature, and the air is dry and warm, a stark contrast to the extreme cold outside.

Jemin walked to the heavy composite porthole, his vision penetrating through multiple layers of transparent crystal. He saw a world of ice and snow, completely different from the Fiery Sun Realm, yet equally extreme.

The leaden sky hung low, heavy and oppressive, like a frozen ice cap.

The heavy snow, like goose feathers, continued to fall without stopping, covering the entire earth and turning it into a pure white that chilled the heart.

In the distance, there are rolling glacier mountains that resemble magnificent sculptures, with huge icicles hanging upside down from the peaks, reflecting the almost dim light of the sky and shimmering with a cold, eerie glow.

Fine ice crystals filled the air, visibility was extremely low, and the world seemed to be covered by a thick, blurry filter.

Whenever a strong wind blows, it stirs up violent eddies of ice and snow. These eddies swirl irregularly, emitting ghostly howls that can easily tear the skin of mortals and freeze their flesh.

"Welcome to the Ice Prison, my friend." A hoarse voice came from behind.

Jemin turned his head and saw that the other person was the head of the outpost, a pale-faced second-level wizard wearing a heavy robe.

He glanced at Jemin, who was adjusting to his surroundings, nodded as a greeting, and turned to leave, only uttering a single sentence as he went:

"Remember to wear more clothes. It's not a good idea to keep expending your mental energy to resist the cold."

Jemin simply nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

This can be considered a kind gesture from the other party.

After all, unlike when he went to the Fiery Sun Realm, this forward outpost has now penetrated quite deep into the Frosty Dark Realm after a year of development.

According to Jemin's understanding, the deeper one goes into the two worlds of the Frost Dimension, the greater the temperature difference becomes.

At this point, the low temperatures and storms outside are practically equivalent to being constantly exposed to the low-temperature magic of a second-level apprentice.

He pushed open the heavy metal door, and a bone-chilling cold instantly rushed towards him, invigorating him.

In the camp's laboratory, he had already tried to simulate the extreme low temperatures of the Frost Dark Realm, but experiencing it firsthand was a completely different experience.

However, a surprising thing happened.

When he truly stepped into this world of ice and snow, the "Body Tempering Technique" within his body began to operate autonomously, as if stimulated by a specific frequency!
Jemin immediately understood what had happened.

His body was actually undergoing adaptive changes to the Frosty Dark Realm environment in this extremely cold climate!
He could clearly feel that his blood flow had become slow and heavy, no longer surging as rapidly as it had in the Blazing Sun Realm.

The body's heat seems to be locked in some kind of special insulation layer, more efficiently retaining it and reducing its loss.

His muscle fibers also seemed to become tougher, taut and elastic in the low temperature, and each contraction was full of explosive power.

He could even feel that his body cells were undergoing a subtle restructuring as his body temperature fought against the cold outside.

His "low-temperature element resistance," which had already been strengthened through training and secret medicine, was now continuing to slowly increase!

"This is a pleasant surprise." Jemin was somewhat astonished. "The changes in such a short time are better than the results of my training over the previous month or two."

He should have been acclimatizing to even harsher low-temperature environments during his training than he is now.

While traveling and pondering, Jieming finally had an epiphany: "It seems that 'concepts' have completely permeated all kinds of cultivation techniques in the world of cultivation. Even for body cultivators, the benefits gained from different concepts are different."

Instead of rushing in, he first conducted a preliminary exploration of the area around the outpost, which also allowed him to get more exercise.

The swirling snowflakes provided him with natural cover, and his figure flashed across the icy plain before disappearing into the snowstorm.

During his long journey through the ice and snow, he also discovered some unique creatures native to the Frost Dark Realm.

Some are strange "frozen worms" wriggling deep in the permafrost. They are crystal clear and emit faint fluctuations of ice element. They are intertwined and form a huge, slow-moving worm nest, devouring the energy underground.

Some are enormous beasts, hidden deep within the thick ice.

Only when Jemin gets close will he cast a huge shadow beneath the ice, then flash by, leaving behind cracks ripped out beneath the ice and a bottomless howl.

These creatures all exuded an extraordinary aura, proving that this world was not as desolate as it appeared.

Jemin trudged across the vast ice plains, his reconnaissance eye expanding to its limit, keenly detecting any unusual energy fluctuations in the air.

Finally, a fluctuation of ice elemental energy, bearing clear signs of life, pierced through the swirling snow and was precisely detected by him. "Got it..."

He abruptly stopped, crouching low in the wind and snow, concealing all his presence.

Ahead, there was an ice ridge that was mostly covered by wind and snow, and several huge figures were appearing and disappearing in the wind and snow—those were Yetis!
This is a squad of about twenty Yetis, whose bodies are made of hard ice crystals and frozen soil. They are burly, with thick limbs, and their bodies are covered with solid frost.

Its eyes glowed with a deep blue light, and its steps were heavy and rhythmic, as if it were on patrol.

"Huh?" After observing for a moment, Jemin frowned.

He discovered that there were no level 2 beings among this group of yetis: "These yetis... aren't they a bit low level?"

"Whoosh-"

Amidst the wind and snow, the snow monster's distinctive howl echoed, carrying a chilling and oppressive feel.

All the Yetis suddenly stopped, turned their heads in unison, and their dark blue eyes instantly locked onto Jemin's hiding place!

"Looks like we've been discovered." Jemin cracked his neck, unsurprised.

Elemental creatures born in the Frost Dark Realm, an environment with almost no light, obviously do not rely on sight, but rather on thermal sensing to detect enemies.

"wizard!"

The lead yeti, which looked a bit bigger than the others, let out a deafening roar that echoed across the ice field, carrying a chilling aura.

It took a sudden step forward, its massive body carrying powerful momentum, leading the other Yetis to charge towards Jemin!

Jemin raised his hand expressionlessly.

The battle lasted only a dozen seconds from start to finish.

Extremely easy, almost a complete rout.

He quickly put the Yeti's "ice crystal core" into his spatial ring, and then used the sorcerer's artifact to release "soul search," skillfully searching for the souls of all the dead Yetis.

A chilling mental fluctuation, carrying fragments of the Yeti's memories from its previous life, was forcibly absorbed by Jemin.

After a brief reading and parsing process, he finally found the information he wanted about the Yeti's gathering place.

Following the clues he received from his soul, Jemin traversed the ice plains for several more hours.

Finally, he arrived at the area marked as the "Yeti Community".

The settlement was much larger than he had anticipated, consisting of several enormous icebergs surrounding a relatively flat frost basin in the center.

Scattered among them are some simple buildings made of ice blocks and frozen soil, which appear rugged and primitive.

The air was filled with a oppressive aura of frost, and some faint drumming noises could even be heard, indicating that there were quite a few Yetis inside.

However, as Jemin carefully concealed himself, even using a camouflage rune that allowed him to blend completely with the wind and snow, and quietly infiltrated the settlement to conduct reconnaissance, doubts once again arose in his mind.

The number of Yetis in this settlement is quite large, far exceeding the scale of an ordinary small settlement, and even reaching the level of a medium-sized settlement!
However, through his "Eye of Reconnaissance" and his precise identification of energy fluctuations, Jemin discovered a startling fact—there was only one Level 2 Yeti in charge of this vast settlement!
Let alone Level 3 Yetis, Jemin didn't even find any trace of any other Level 2 Yetis!

"How is that possible? So many Yetis, and only one Level 2 leader?" Jemin was filled with confusion.

This is extremely unusual!
According to the Wizard Legion's previous intelligence, a stronghold of this size should be managed by at least one or two level three Yetis and hundreds of elite level two Yetis.

Jemin hid in the shadow of the iceberg and waited patiently for a moment.

While observing the behavior patterns of the yeti within the settlement, he also examined the situation within his dantian, attempting to capture the "qi of the mortal world".

However, after careful perception, he finally confirmed with regret: "Like the lava giant... I cannot obtain the aura of the mortal world."

This result made Jieming's heart sink slightly.

Although he had anticipated this before coming, Jemin still felt a little heavy-hearted after confirming the situation.

The problem now is no longer about the raw materials for the Red Dust Potion, but a much more complicated situation.

"Hopefully...it's not the worst-case scenario..."

Having confirmed this, Jemin no longer hesitated.

Although he had basically reached a conclusion, he still decided to explore the larger gathering points.
