I became a prince in a martial arts world.

Chapter 80 The Experience of a Veteran

"Ice and Snow Divine Skill" is Yan Xiangxue's unique divine skill. Its prototype was just an ordinary acquired skill called "Flying Snow Skill", which Yan Xiangxue forcibly elevated to the level of a grandmaster.

Of course, in the process of deduction, Yan Xiangxue consulted many martial arts techniques, and even asked Ye Tianlin for advice, and also obtained some fragments of the "Jade Snow Skill".

It can be said that this skill is a top-notch skill that Yan Xiangxue has integrated from many different schools of thought and incorporated her own wisdom and insights. When it is used, it will release extreme cold, which can be described as "snowflakes flying all over the sky and ice freezing thousands of miles", hence the name "Ice and Snow Divine Skill"!

Strictly speaking, although "Fire Reflection" belongs to the fire element, it is actually the desolate fire of autumn and the setting sun reflecting off the evening sun. It is the last bit of firepower after the summer festival has ended, and its true firepower is not very strong, especially compared with Yan Xiangxue's "Ice and Snow Divine Skill" which is extremely cold. The difference is even greater then.

Once Wang Yu masters this divine skill, the ice and fire will still not be balanced. However, this time the ice is too strong and the fire is too weak. If he wants the ice and fire to be balanced, he will have to find another fire-attribute divine skill or consume the energy of pills to have the tortoise shell deduce and modify it.

"Isn't this just adding water when there's too much flour, and adding flour when there's too much water?"

Wang Yu pursed his lips. Luckily, he had a cheat code. Otherwise, where would he find a fire-attribute technique of this level?

Wait a minute, it seems like I can't master "Ice and Fire" without using cheats.

Okay, then it's all right.

Yan Xiangxue began teaching Wang Yu internal skills. Li Yunxiu and Qianqian left on their own. Alde stayed in the courtyard for a while, then went out for a stroll, feeling utterly bored.

Early in the morning, Yan Xiangxue explained the concept and general principles of the "Ice and Snow Divine Skill" to Wang Yu. She also taught him the breathing techniques of the first level and instructed him to memorize all the qi circulation formulas for the second and third levels.

"The Ice and Snow Divine Skill only has three levels: the first level is acquired, the second level is innate, and the third level is grandmaster," Yan Xiangxue said. "Don't be fooled by the small number of levels. As your cultivation deepens, your internal energy becomes more profound and icy. Entering the first level and reaching the peak of the first level are completely different ways of being cold."

Wang Yu said he understood, because the fourth level of "The Fiery Reflection" had taken him a long time to figure out, so he was familiar with the concept.

At the same time, Wang Yu respected Yan Xiangxue even more, because she didn't actually need to teach him the later parts of "Ice and Snow Divine Skill" so quickly. She did it entirely to gain his trust, which can be described as showing great goodwill.

The two stayed in the courtyard until almost noon. As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard gate, they saw Alde chatting away with Li Yunxiu and Qianqian, describing how intelligent her little sheep was.

Although Alde had heard Yan Xiangxue's story yesterday and knew that Li Yunxiu and Qianqian were not easy to deal with, he chatted with the two women out of boredom today and quickly found that one of them was intelligent and the other was lively, and they had a particularly good time chatting.

In fact, Li Yunxiu and Qianqian were also very happy because they hadn't met such a pure, kind, and beautiful girl in a long time. Listening to her chattering away, their mood brightened up.

Alde, seeing the hope of Yan Xiangxue's recovery, was overjoyed, which further inspired others.

"What are you chatting about that makes you so happy?" Wang Yu asked casually.

"I'm talking about my little lamb!" Alde's eyes crinkled. "Its name is Little White, and it's so smart. Last time, my sister was playing hide-and-seek and fell asleep in the haystack. Everyone was so worried, but it was Little White who found her by smelling the scent."

Li Yunxiu looked at Wang Yu and asked with concern, "Was everything alright?"

Wang Yu nodded, "Thanks to your trust, senior, I have already passed on the complete 'Ice and Snow Divine Skill' to you."

A glint flashed in Li Yunxiu's eyes. He hadn't expected Yan Xiangxue to transmit the entire book directly. He couldn't help but admire her sharp eyes and decisive actions, which left no room for criticism.

"Is this the experience of a seasoned veteran?"

"Master!" Aldey said coquettishly, clinging to Yan Xiangxue's arm, "You haven't taught me the second level of the 'Ice and Snow Divine Skill' yet!"

Yan Xiangxue's eyes were full of affection. "If you don't practice diligently, it's uncertain whether you'll even reach the Innate Realm in this lifetime. What's the use of learning the second level?"

Alde's eyes suddenly reddened, but she said firmly, "I will definitely reach the Innate Realm, and I won't let anyone bully us again!"

Yan Xiangxue gently stroked Alde's dark hair, nodded and smiled, "Since you are so willing, then practice martial arts with Prince Zhao tomorrow."

Wang Yu cupped his hands and said, "You can just call me Zhao Yu."

Regardless, Yan Xiangxue had been kind enough to teach him her skills, so it would be too formal for her to call him "Your Highness" again.

Yan Xiangxue nodded, which was considered an agreement. She was seriously injured and had been talking all morning, so she was exhausted. Alde quickly helped her to rest.

Just as the two left, Wang Yu saw Fang Shaobai and Leng Jiangzhu approaching together in the distance.

"Has Brother Sun not returned yet?" Leng Jiangzhu asked.

Fang Shaobai said with a surprised look, "I heard that Brother Zhao and Brother Sun can do the Tianshan Sect a great favor. What a coincidence."

It turns out that the seven of them had only arrived at Tianshan yesterday when they were invited away and entertained by several new generation disciples of the Tianshan Sect. Ostensibly, they were to go to various parts of Tianshan to see the scenery of the Western Regions, but in reality, it was a test.

Last night, another new disciple came over. It was said that Sun Wenzhu and Wang Yu, whom they had invited to the mountain, could do the Tianshan Sect a great favor by helping to treat their friend, Granny Xueshan. Yang Weiming personally taught Sun Wenzhu how to refine pills and also instructed his disciples to show respect to him and Wang Yu.

For this reason, the Tianshan Sect also owed a favor to the seven sects and treated them well that evening. Fine wines from the Western Regions and the Central Plains were served in a continuous stream, and the six people, except for Leng Jiangzhu, were all defeated in a three-on-one battle.

Fang Shaobai slept until almost noon and still had a headache. As for the other five, they were still lying in bed.

"Brother Sun was taken away by Senior Yang yesterday, so the alchemy shouldn't be that quick."

Wang Yu didn't know how long alchemy in the martial arts world would take. Although it certainly wouldn't take one or two hours like boiling Chinese medicine in modern times, it probably wouldn't take as long as forty-nine days like in fantasy novels.

If it had really been forty-nine days, Yan Xiangxue would probably be dead by now.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Just as Wang Yugang said that Sun Wenzhu had been taken away by Yang Weiming, he saw the two of them walking quickly towards them. Sun Wenzhu was holding a porcelain bottle in her hand. The two nodded in their direction and then went into the small courtyard next door.

A moment later, the two strolled out, and looking at Sun Wenzhu's calm face, one could not tell anything at all!

Wang Yu had spent some time with him and had hardly seen his expression change, so even though she knew the chances of something going wrong were slim, she still asked, "Is everything going smoothly?"

Sun Wenzhu nodded. "Senior Yan has already gone to sleep."

After speaking, Sun Wenzhu looked at Yang Weiming again, "May I go and wander around Tianshan?"

Yang Weiming knew that Sun Wenzhu wanted to find fresh snow lotus, but he still advised, "Of course you can, but you didn't sleep all night, so you should go and get some sleep. There's no rush."

"It's just one night of sleeplessness, it's nothing serious." Sun Wenzhu shook her head. "The Tianshan snow lotus blooms unpredictably, and its flowering period is extremely short, so it's best not to waste any time."

Yang Weiming could only nod in agreement. "I have already instructed the sect that you may come and go as you please throughout Tianshan. On Lingxiao Peak, apart from the stone house where our master lived in seclusion and the cave behind it used for closed-door cultivation, you may also move about freely."

Sun Wenzhu cupped his hands in greeting, "I dare not disturb Senior Ye's peaceful cultivation."

Sun Wenzhu went to various places in Tianshan to search for snow lotus, and Leng Jiangzhu also left.

Fang Shaobai watched the two figures disappear into the distance and chuckled, "Brother Liu is going to be heartbroken."

Wang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does Liu Wuchen like Leng Jiangzhu?"

"She's young and skilled in martial arts, and if nothing unexpected happens, she'll be able to take charge of the Meishan sect in the future. Isn't it normal for Liu Wuchen to like her?" Fang Shaobai laughed. "It's a pity that Leng Jiangzhu didn't take a liking to Liu Wuchen."

The four major sword sects in Shu are close to each other, and young disciples often meet when they go down the mountain to do chivalrous deeds. Many of them get along well and become husband and wife. The major sword sects do not object to this. The most famous couple in history even took over the leadership of two sects, which is a well-known story.

Liu Wuchen naturally wanted to leave behind a beautiful story, but Leng Jiangzhu was unwilling.

Qianqian also joined in, her eyes full of gossip, "Liu Wuchen's martial arts are quite high, he has the air of a sword saint, why doesn't Leng Jiangzhu like him?"

-

Seeing that Wang Yu was also quite curious, Fang Shaobai replied, "Leng Jiangzhu said that Liu Wuchen is somewhat hypocritical."

Women are naturally gossipy, and Li Yunxiu chimed in, "What do you mean?"

Although they are all from the Seven Great Sword Sects, their relationships vary in closeness. Moreover, after discussing things over drinks with Wang Yu, Fang Shaobai already considers him a close friend, much closer than he is to Liu Wuchen.

Not to mention that Liu Wuchen, who was arrogant as the successor of the Sword Saint, was always resentful that people in the martial arts world praised Fang Shaobai as the number one person of the new generation of the seven major sword sects. Although he thought he had hidden it very well, Fang Shaobai had already seen through it.

"The Sword Saint is unrestrained and carefree, a true gentleman of elegance." Fang Shaobai still admired the Sword Saint Liu Suifeng.

"But Liu Wuchen isn't that kind of person, yet he pretends to be," Fang Shaobai laughed. "Most people wouldn't be able to tell, but Leng Jiangzhu clearly did."

Li Yunxiu nodded, "Actually, he is a very conservative and cautious person."

Being conservative and cautious is a nice way of putting it; to put it bluntly, it means being scheming and suspicious.

Leng Jiangzhu has a cool and aloof personality. She is not a hypocrite herself, and of course, she would not like a hypocrite.

But no one expected that she would fall in love with another ice cube.

Qianqian gossiped, "The fact that she told you all this means she trusts you a lot, and you're very genuine. Why aren't you two together?"

Fang Shaobai nearly stumbled, waving his hands repeatedly, "I have absolutely no interest in her!"

Fang Shaobai had seen too many unreasonable women. In his opinion, all he needed in this life was a sword and wine. Women would only affect his speed of drawing his sword. Of course, he couldn't say this in front of Li Yun and Qianqian.

So Fang Shaobai simply raised the wine bag in his hand and said, "This is a bag of Western Region wine that Xin Yilong gave me yesterday. I specially kept a bag to invite Brother Zhao to drink with me."
