C38 Complement
Astonished for a moment, Yi Shuiyou could not help but let out a bitter laugh when he understood the meaning behind Ye Lan's words.
The others standing on the side too understood the situation and stared with their mouths agape.
"Ye Lan, in that case, do you have a method to dispel the cold poison in Old Yi's body?"
Yuv Tianlang snapped out of his daze and asked.
"It's actually more simple than you might think. As long as we can complete the Glacial Frost Arts, the ice attribute spirit energy that was condensed into the ice crystals in Uncle Yi's body will naturally be fully absorbed into his body. Everything should go back to normal if he continues to cultivate the art."
Ye Lan laughed.
"You want to complete the Glacial Frost Arts? It's certainly easier said than done."
Yi Shuiyou shook his head and laughed bitterly.
Rendered speechless, Yuv Tianlang and the others could only agree.
Cultivation techniques were essentially part of a cultivator's life. By creating and learning a good cultivation technique, one could naturally increase their cultivation at a faster rate, and it could even — to a certain extent — determine their future achievements.
As previously said, the cultivation techniques in the Martial God Continent were divided into five different ranks: yellow, profound, earth, heaven, and divine rank. In addition, each rank was furthere separated into three other grades, which included the low, middle, and high grade.
Even though Yi Shuiyou's Glacial Frost Arts was only an incomplete technique, it could nevertheless hold its ground against other high-yellow rank cultivation technique.
Seeing how a fragment of this cultivation technique was already comparable to other high-yellow rank ones, it could be seen just how profound the Glacial Frost Arts really was.
How could one simply attempt to complete such a profound cultivation technique?
If one could really complete the technique with such ease, Yi Shuiyou would have long since mastered the Glacial Frost Arts many years ago. Instead, by cultivating the incomplete technique, his body ended up suffering from the excess of ice attribute spirit energy, resulting in the creation of the cold poison in his body.
"It may not be easy for anyone else, but for me, it's nothing but a small matter!"
Ye Lan exclaimed with a confident smile.
As the number one cultivator in the Martial God Continent, if he couldn't even complete a mere profound-rank cultivation technique, his reputation would simply be tarnished. Were the enemies in his previous life learned about this, they would definitely laugh their teeth off!
Hearing this, everyone in the area gazed at Ye Lan with the utmost surprise as shock filled the depth of their eyes.
They wondered whether Ye Lan was just joking around.
However, looking at the confident smile on Ye Lan's face, Yi Shuiyou and the rest could tell that Ye Lan was dead serious.
"Uncle Yuv, do you have brush and some paper?"
Ye Lan glanced at Yuv Tianlang and asked.
"Yes."
Yuv Tianlang came to his senses and quickly responded.
"Sorry for inconveniencing you, but could you order someone to bring over a brush, ink, and some paper?"
Ye Lan asked.
Yuv Tianlang nodded and immediately ordered his men to bring over the requested items.
Grabbing the brush, Ye Lan spread out the fine writing paper and attempted to recall the entire Glacial Frost Arts in his mind.
Following that, he quickly recited and wrote down a detailed manual of the Glacial Frost Arts on the paper. Amongst the descriptions included some of his previous life's experience regarding the cultivation technique.
"Alright, I'm done! Uncle Yi, why don't you try it out?"
Ye Lan set his brush aside and blew onto the slightly moist ink on the fine writing paper to dry it. He then handed it over to Yi Shuiyou and said with a smile.
Standing at the side, Yuv Tianlang, Qu Jingchun, and the others were all taken aback!
'This... Is it really okay?'
In their minds, they could not help but have a lingering hint of doubt. However, they could only let Yi Shuiyou decide for himself.
Each of them stood in silence at the side while waiting for Yi Shuiyou to make his final decision.
"Alright!"
Yi Shuiyou nodded.
Having been cornered at this point, he simply had no other choice but to accept the gamble in his moment of desperation.
If he continued to allow the cold poison in his body to flare up and wreck havoc, he would eventually freeze to death.
Rather than just sitting there and waiting for his death, it would be better to test out the cultivation technique written by Ye Lan.
Even if there was only a slim chance of success, it was much better than doing nothing and waiting for the grim reaper to come after him.
Receiving the newly-written manual in his hands, Yi Shuiyou quickly memorized anything related to the Glacial Frost Arts.
With a single glance through the text, he was immediately shocked with a rollercoaster of emotions.
With Yi Shuiyou's experience as a cultivator, he could naturally tell that this manual for the Glacial Frost Arts was much more profound than the one that his father left him. Furthermore, it also included the solutions to many of the problems that he had been facing over the past years.
Naturally, Yi Shuiyou was extremely shocked. He could not help but shoot his gaze at Ye Lan as waves of astonishment surged in his mind.
At the same time, a joyous expression faintly surfaced on his slightly pale face as he thought that it might actually be feasible for him to cultivation the Glacial Frost Arts using this new manual.
Immediately after, Yi Shuiyou sat cross-legged on the ground and channel the complete Glacial Frost Arts, written by Ye Lan. At that moment, the Spirit Energy of Heaven and Earth instantly surged through his body.
With the gradual influx of spirit energy, Yi Shuiyou noticed that the Genuine Qi in his meridians were operating more smoothly now. Compared to the times he cultivated the incomplete technique, he could tell that the spirit energy flowing through his body now was just that much purer.
Furthermore, he could clearly feel the ice crystals stuck in his body slowly melting back into the ice attribute spirit energy and being fully absorbed into his body and Core Essence.
After a long while, Yi Shuiyou finally opened his eyes. His originally pale face was now brimming with color while his entire body looked much more energetic than usual.
"Old Yi, how was it? How are you feeling?"
Yuv Tianlang hurriedly asked Yi Shuiyou when upon seeing him opening his eyes.
"It worked! It actually worked!"
Bursting with excitement, Yi Shuiyou looked at Ye Lan with an astonished expression.
Never in a million years would he have expected a young man like Ye Lan to actually be able to complete his Glacial Frost Arts and even cure the illness that has been haunting his body for countless years. With his new and complete manual for the cultivation technique, he could now absorb the Spirit Energy of Heaven and Earth more efficiently than usual and no longer had to worry about suffering from the cold poison ever again.
Aside from those effects, Yi Shuiyou could feel that he was on the verge of breaking through the bottleneck that he had been stuck at over the past many years. It seems that it was only a matter of time before he steps into the seventh stage of the Qi Gathering Realm!
Yuv Tianlang, Qu Jingchun, and the others looked at him with stunned expression before rejoicing at the news of his recovery.
Then, they shifted their surprised gazes towards Ye Lan.
They never would have thought that Ye Lan would actually be so capable at such a young age. To think that he would be able to complete the Glacial Frost Arts in such a short period of time!
How could anyone in Lucid Aqua Town be blind and stupid enough to call a martial genius like him a piece of trash over the past ten or so years?
"Ye Lan, I really don't know how to thank you!"
Although Yi Shuiyou agreed to give Ye Lan's manual a try, he didn't that Ye Lan could actually complete the Glacial Frost Arts. By using the new manual, not only did he finally manage to remove the cold poison haunting his body for countless years, but he could even cultivate at a much faster rate than before.
Naturally, Yi Shuiyou could not think of a way to repay such a favor. Even if he were to thank Ye Lan with thousands of words, he still wouldn't be able to repay his kindness.
"As Uncle Yuv previously said, we are family, so why is Uncle Yi being so polite with me?"
Ye Lan laughed.
"Haha! It seems that I was being unreasonable!"
Yi Shuiyou burst into gales of laughter. With his illness cured and his Glacial Frost Arts being completed by Ye Lan, he was naturally in a very good mood.
On the side, Yuv Tianlang and the others also laughed along with him. They kept praising Ye Lan for his outstanding skills and his way of handling things, which was very to their utmost liking.
Soon after, everyone sat back down and continued celebrating the occasion.
It was only until dusk when Ye Lan finally bid his farewell and returned to the Ye Family, preparing to start refining the Spirit Pills.
Inside Ye Lan's residence within the Ye Family.
Amidst the room, Ye Lan set up his Pill Furnace and took out the spirit herbs that he needed, which included the Sky Ice Flower, Forgotten Fruit, and Black Heart Lotus, in order to refine the necessary Spirit Pills.
With everything prepared, Ye Lan released his Soul of the Blazing Flame.
Then, he ignited the fire beneath his Pill Furnace.
Immediately after, he activated his Spirit Concentration Technique.
Only after doing so did he begin to refine the various spirit herbs in his possession. A few moments later, he extracted the medicinal liquids from the spirit herbs.
Finally, with the help of the Spirit Concentration Technique, he merged the medicinal liquids and condensed them into solid entities — the medicinal pills.
Not long after, Ye Lan could see a few spherical pills revolving within the Pill Furnace.
At that moment, he continued refining the pure spirit energy in the Pill Furnace and fusing them with the pills. During that process, the intoxicating fragrance of the Spirit Pills lingered through the air.
"Open!"
With a wave of his hand, Ye Lan forced the lid of the Pill Furnace open. At that instant, a few round pills shot out from the Pill Furnace and landed into Ye Lan's hand.
There were a total of six pills, the size of pigeon eggs. Each of them was crystal clear and contained an endless spiral of spirit energy within. Furthermore, they emitted a refreshing fragrance that one could vaguely smell in the air.
These six medicinal pills were low-profound grade Spirit Pills, capable of effectively increasing the cultivation of the Qi Gathering Cultivators.
"Six Qi Gathering Pills... not too bad."
Ye Lan smiled in satisfaction.
Successfully refining a low-profound grade Spirit Pill was certainly no easy feat, for even the alchemists ranging from the third stage to the seventh stage of the Qi Gathering Realm would find it difficult to refine even a single one.
Even so, Ye Lan was able to refine six of these Spirit Pills are the first stage of the Qi Gathering Realm.
This achievement was only made possible through the use of his Spirit Concentration Technique.
It could also be said that Ye Lan was only able to refine six of these pills in such a short amount of time because his cultivation had risen to the first stage of the Qi Gathering Realm.
When it comes to the speed of the process, success rate of the refinement, or quality of the pills, Ye Lan would never lose out to the other alchemists!
"There are only six days left before the day of the fated duel. Thus, I will need to fully consume these Spirit Pills and quickly raise my cultivation to, at the very least, the second stage of the Qi Gathering Realm!"
Ye Lan smiled brightly as he rolled the six Qi Gathering Pills around in his hands.
With a flick of his finger, he threw one of the pills into the air and swallowed it down his throat before sitting down cross-legged. Immediately after, he activated the Heaven and Earth Creation Art and proceeded to cultivate.
