The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!

Chapter 34 I bought a hairpin! Northern Cang Palace!

Suddenly, Bing Tianxiao stopped in his tracks.

His gaze fell on an inconspicuous stall.

There was a pale blue hairpin that was crystal clear, and it was not carved from ordinary stone, but from some kind of extremely cold ice jade.

It shimmered with a cool yet warm luster under the sunlight, exuding a refined and noble aura.

"Boss, how much is this?"

Bing Tianxiao picked up the hairpin and felt a slight coolness in her hand; it was a perfect match for Luo Li's temperament.

The stall owner was a somewhat reserved-looking young girl. Seeing the two "great figures" patronizing her, she stammered, "This—this is a low-grade spiritual artifact, the Ice Soul Hairpin. Not only is it beautiful, but it can also automatically protect the body—um, it's a bit expensive, it requires—it requires a level five mark."

After saying that, she subconsciously shrank her neck.

After all, a level five mark is something that most people here might not be able to achieve even if they risked their lives.

However, Bing Tianxiao didn't even blink.

"Level 5? Cheap."

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and lightly touched the girl's forehead with his fingertips.

hum!

A surge of pure and powerful spiritual energy instantly poured in.

The mark on the girl's forehead, which was originally only at level one, grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a dazzling "five"!

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

A level five mark—just to buy a hairpin?!

Is this how a powerful figure spoils his wife?

Don't tell them about any magical artifacts protecting them.

Anyone with eyes can see that these two are both experts above the Divine Soul Realm!

What good are low-grade spiritual artifacts?

Bing Tianxiao completely ignored the wide-eyed stares around him and turned to walk behind Luo Li.

"Don't move."

His voice was soft as he gently inserted the hairpin diagonally into Luo Li's cascading silver hair.

The ethereal blue light complemented her stunning beauty, adding to her otherworldly charm.

"Perfect."

Bing Tianxiao took a half step back, rubbing his chin as he admired his masterpiece: "Tsk tsk, it was already incredibly beautiful, but now it's going to make it impossible for the other girls in the Northern Cang Realm to live."

Luo Li raised her hand and gently stroked the hairpin, feeling the lingering warmth from her fingertips.

A gentle ripple spread across her cool, clear eyes.

"Spendthrift."

She gave a light scolding.

However, she showed no intention of taking it off; instead, she lowered her head slightly, and a very faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Hehe, nothing is more precious than what you love."

Bing Tianxiao shrugged indifferently.

He then naturally took Luo Li's hand again and looked out of the basin.

That is the central area of ​​the Northern Cang Realm.

"Alright, we've strolled around the streets and bought our things. Now it's time to get down to business."

He stretched out a big yawn: "Let's go, let's go to the center of the Northern Cang Realm."

"That's where the strongest group of this year's trainees are gathered. Perfect opportunity to go there and level up my mark to level nine."

"After all, when we enter the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, we not only need to arrive in style and glory, but also in our strongest form. If we're going to do it, we'll do it the best!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Li nodded slightly, and a sharp sword intent flickered in her clear, glassy eyes.

"Okay, whatever you say."

The next instant, two streaks of light shot into the sky.

Under countless gazes of awe and envy, the two departed.

The center of the Northern Cang Realm.

At this moment, the place was already crowded with people, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Those who can stand here are all top experts who have emerged from the Northern Cang Realm this time.

The Divine Soul Realm doesn't even have the right to speak; only seven places are truly captivating.

They are Mu Chen, Yan Wang Yan Xiao, Zhou Wang Zhou Ling, and several other kings.

There were also some leaders who didn't participate in the Spirit Path, and these people were quite powerful as well.

Finally, there were the Shi family twins, who were kicked out of the Spirit Path by Bing Tianxiao.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Brother, we brothers are determined to get a spot in the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy this time. Hmph, if it weren't for the Spiritual Road—"

Shi Hao's face was gloomy, as if he had recalled some unbearable past events, and a trace of fear and hatred flashed in his eyes.

However, before he could finish speaking...

Two streaks of light, carrying an undisguised powerful aura, landed heavily in the very center of the place!

boom!

The air surged, and the smoke and dust dissipated.

Two figures, a man and a woman, appeared.

The boy had a carefree smile on his lips, while the girl was aloof and peerless, her long sword radiating a chilling aura.

The once noisy stone platform fell silent for a moment.

When they saw the boy's face clearly, the Shi twins, who had been so arrogant, suddenly froze, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

"It's...it's him?!"

Shi Hao's voice changed, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

Shi Jingtian's face was also deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down his forehead: "Bing—Bing Tianxiao?! What's that jinx doing here?!"

They will never forget it.

On the Spirit Path, it was this seemingly cheerful guy who kicked them out of the Trial Grounds, becoming a lingering nightmare in their hearts.

The other top students from the Spiritual Road also changed their expressions drastically the moment they saw Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li. They all restrained their arrogant demeanor and their eyes were filled with deep fear.

"Wow, you have quite a few acquaintances here."

Bing Tianxiao's gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing with a smile on his face on the ashen-faced Shi brothers. He raised his hand in greeting, "The Shi brothers, it's been a long time."

Shijia Shuangzi Noodles twitched, but didn't dare to say a word, and even silently shrank back into the crowd.

Seeing this, Bing Tianxiao curled his lips in boredom, then turned his gaze to the front.

There stood the team with the strongest aura.

The leader was Mu Chen. Although he was the only one leading the group, his aura was far more powerful than the others!

When Mu Chen saw Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li arrive together, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "Long time no see, Bing Tianxiao, Luo Li."

"Just a few days."

Bing Tianxiao laughed heartily, stepped forward, and patted Mu Chen on the shoulder in an extremely familiar manner.

Mu Chen shook his head helplessly.

Anyone with even a slight understanding of the Spirit Path knows that the mark belongs to these two people.

The combination of bow and sword —

At the same time, countless gazes were cast toward the central area.

"That shepherd king actually started talking to these two."

"Did he just call out 'Bing Tianxiao'? Could this be the Spirit Crown Master of the Spirit Path?!"

"Besides him, who else deserves the King's utmost attention?!"

"Then the other one is King Luo, who is also a king-level being!"

Today, this place is home to almost all the students from the Northern Cang Realm, including many who have participated in the Spirit Road.

After exchanging a few words, Bing Tianxiao had already scanned his surroundings.

Without exception, everyone present remained at the peak of level eight.

They were just one step away from reaching the ninth level.

But this kick was like an insurmountable chasm.

Because once you reach this level, you want to go further.

Hunting ordinary spirit beasts or stealing the marks of lower-level students is already a drop in the ocean and completely ineffective.

Only by seizing a mark of the same level can one complete the final transformation!

This is why this group of people are stuck here at this moment, forming this strange balance.

Nobody wants to be the first to stick their neck out, much less become prey in someone else's eyes.

"Tsk tsk tsk————"

Bing Tianxiao shook his head, breaking the tense atmosphere in the arena.

He crossed his arms, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Gentlemen, since you're all here, you must know that you need a level nine mark to summon the Northern Cang Palace, right?"
