Chapter 575 Cultivation Technique Evolution! Bibi Dong Has One Too?

Inside the cave formed by the extreme ice, an unknown amount of time had passed. Jing Chen only knew that the agonizing pain emanating from within was unbearable. Even deep within the cave of extreme ice, even with abundant icy springs around him, these things did not lessen the torment in the slightest; in fact, they seemed to intensify it!

The old apothecary could only watch helplessly. Hearing Jing Chen's screams, seeing his body trembling with pain, and his teeth clenched, wasn't all of this causing the old apothecary the same torment?

"Jing Chen, why don't we just give up on that thing? Even without the Burning Technique, I'm confident I can make you a top expert." With his fists clenched and his teeth clenched, Yao Lao must have hesitated for a long time before saying these words.

Jing Chen slightly opened his eyes, looked at the old man floating in mid-air, and said, "It's alright. I can still withstand it. This little bit of pain can't defeat me! As long as... as long as I have a little more time, I will be able to completely devour the strange fire!"

The old apothecary opened his mouth, his gaze meeting Jing Chen's eyes. In Jing Chen's eyes, there was no fear, no hesitation, only unwavering resolve and an indomitable spirit. Seeing this, the old apothecary swallowed back what he wanted to say, letting out only a sigh.

Jing Chen managed a slight, strained smile. He knew that the old doctor understood his thoughts. He closed his eyes again and gave it his all.

The sun set, the moon rose, the sun set again, and the moon rose once more. The cycle of sun and moon repeated itself three times, and finally, the cave of extreme ice fell silent.

Although Jing Chen was sitting cross-legged at this moment, his expression was not as ferocious as when he devoured the strange fire. However, Yao Lao could still clearly see that every muscle in Jing Chen was trembling slightly.

After waiting for a moment, Jing Chen slowly opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. His gaze swept across the cave, finally settling on the old man Yao who was floating beside him.

Seeing Jing Chen's condition, Yao Lao knew that Jing Chen's devouring of the strange fire had succeeded. After reporting his safety to Yao Lao, Jing Chen closed his eyes and focused his mind on his body. His mind quickly passed through several meridians and appeared above the vortex of energy.

The vortex at this moment was not only more than ten times larger than before, but the deep cyan battle qi flowing within it was also of a significantly higher quality than the purple battle qi of the past. Perhaps because it had completely absorbed the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the deep cyan battle qi also faintly carried some cyan flames. With these flames adhering to it, the attack power of this cyan battle qi had become considerably more terrifying.

As his mind left his body, Jing Chen couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. The old apothecary beside him smiled and asked, "How was it?"

"The cyclone's capacity is more than ten times larger than before, and there's more..." Jing Chen said, extending his right hand, which was instantly enveloped by deep blue battle qi.

On the deep blue battle aura, one could even see faint traces of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. Bits of battle aura, like flames, burned and floated, disappearing into the air after detaching from the battle aura.

The battle qi underwent a qualitative change, and the cultivation technique naturally improved significantly as well. Originally only a mid-level Yellow Rank Burning Technique, after absorbing the strange fire, it leaped to a mid-level Profound Rank. This was a jump of an entire major rank. This indirectly demonstrated the terrifying power of the strange fire.

"My battle qi has undergone a qualitative change, and my cultivation technique has also successfully evolved into the intermediate level of the Profound Rank." Jing Chen said softly, and then couldn't help but smile.

"Congratulations! Your cultivation technique has successfully evolved into the intermediate level of the Profound Rank." Elder Yao also offered his blessings.

"But to be fair, the person who invented this technique is truly a freak. Only he could have come up with such a terrifying cultivation method. Devouring the energy of strange fire to evolve the technique, thereby nourishing oneself." Jing Chen was silent for a moment, then looked at Yao Lao.

"Yes, I've never seen this kind of cultivation method before. However, since you've successfully absorbed the strange fire, it proves the feasibility of this technique. From now on, cultivate in this way, and your future achievements will definitely not be low. However, if you use this cultivation method, the suffering you will endure will certainly not be small." The old doctor became serious as he spoke to Jing Chen.

Jing Chen said to Yao Lao almost without hesitation, "The path to becoming a strong person is naturally neither too smooth nor too comfortable. Therefore, I was already aware of this when I embarked on this path. So Yao Lao, you don't need to worry, just train me with peace of mind!"

"Hehe." The old apothecary chuckled helplessly. He had to admit, Jing Chen's mindset was something he could really learn from. If he were in Jing Chen's shoes, he would probably hesitate. Because no one would want to experience that kind of pain a second or third time.

"Alright~ I've successfully absorbed the strange fire. Let's rest for a bit and then go." Jing Chen stretched, his bones cracking as he did so.

"I'll give you a day off. Our formal training starts tomorrow." After saying that, Yao Lao floated into the ring.

Jing Chen also stood up, walked to the cave entrance, suddenly stopped, and looked back at the Ultimate Ice Cave behind him—let's call this the Ultimate Ice Cave. The cultivation environment in the Ultimate Ice Cave is quite good.

"Bing'er, take Bingdi and come to the location I gave you. I'll be waiting for you there." After conveying these words, Jing Chen turned and walked out of the cave, flying directly out of this mountain range full of treasures. He stood outside the mountain range, looking at it.

Not long after, Shui Bing'er arrived with Bing Di.

Hearing the voice, Jing Chen turned around and glanced back. He hadn't seen Shui Bing'er in a long time; she had grown into an exquisite beauty. As for Bing Di, why did she still look like a giant loli?

"Jingchen, we're here," Shui Bing'er said softly.

Nodding, Jing Chen said to the two, "This mountain range was probably recently formed by the small world itself. There are many rare medicinal herbs on the mountain. If you need to go into the mountain, it is best not to damage the herbs."

"Okay, I'll tell my sisters." Shui Bing'er nodded.

"Also, I found a cave formed by extreme ice in the mountains. Let's call it the Extreme Ice Cave for now. Since both of you have ice as your attribute, cultivating there should be quite beneficial for you. Come with me." After Jing Chen finished speaking, he turned around and flew into the sky.

Shui Bing'er and Bing Di quickly followed. Seeing them catch up, Jing Chen turned and led the way. Previously, the detour had taken too long. Now, Jing Chen's goal was directly the Extreme Ice Cave, so the journey was much shorter, taking only a minute or two to reach the cave.

Standing at the cave entrance, Jing Chen said to the two of them, "Go in and walk all the way to the very end."

Ice Emperor gave a haughty snort, said nothing, and stepped directly into the cave. Shui Bing'er stood still, waiting for Ice Emperor to enter before saying to Jing Chen, "You've been cultivating here for the past five days?"

"Five days?" Jing Chen asked, slightly surprised. "Has that much time already?"

Shui Bing'er covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Yes, it's been five days. Sister Xiao Wu was so worried. After we get back here, we should go find her right away. Oh, and there's some good news."

"Huh? Good news?" Jing Chen was a little confused. How could there be good news again after he had only been gone for five days?

Seeing Jing Chen's bewildered expression, Shui Bing'er smiled and said to him, "Yes, Bibi Dong is pregnant too." After saying that, she turned and entered the cave, regardless of Jing Chen's reaction.

At this moment, Jing Chen was completely stunned. Xiao Wu was pregnant, and now, Bibi Dong was pregnant too? Was the Hundred Flowers Palace going to gain two new members at once? Before he could fully recover, a surge of joy instantly filled Jing Chen's heart.
