Chapter 37 The Mysterious Ice Bed

"No conditions!"

"No conditions?"

"No!"

Shi Zhongyu looked at Hua Wanzi with suspicion.

"Is this a windfall?"

"Stop being so glib. With your talent, our sect will definitely do everything we can to nurture you."

Hua Wanzi smiled and said, "In the future, you will be the face of our Snow Mountain Sect. When the time comes, we will rely on you to sweep away all the sects in the Western Regions."

Shi Zhongyu looked puzzled.

"Isn't our Snow Mountain Sect the number one sect in the Western Regions? What does it mean that I'm being asked to sweep through all the sects in the Western Regions?"

Hua Wanzi said calmly, "If we don't subdue the other sects in the Western Regions, how can our Snow Mountain Sect be called the number one sect in the Western Regions?"

"As for sweeping away the enemy, that was just a joke. When other sects' new generation disciples come over in the future, you just need to make sure you don't lose."

Shi Zhongyu was somewhat curious.

What martial arts sects exist in the Western Regions?

Hua Wanzi raised her finger.

"Besides our Snow Mountain Sect, there are other sects in the Western Regions, such as the Kunlun Sect, the Ming Cult, the Western Regions Shaolin, the Vajra Sect, and the Blood Saber Sect."

"The strength of each sect should not be underestimated. When we have an exchange, I hope you won't embarrass our Snow Mountain Sect."

Shi Zhongyu looked helplessly at Hua Wanzi. This Uncle Hua was good to him, but she liked to put pressure on him all the time.

"I understand. If I'm really put on the field, I'll definitely do my best."

"Good, good, that's the state you need to maintain."

After Hua Wanzi finished speaking, she led Shi Zhongyu into the valley.

In the valley, the cold air lingered like mist, and the surrounding rock walls were covered with layers of thin ice.

Shi Zhongyu followed Hua Wanzi to the heart of the valley, where a mysterious ice bed, about ten feet in diameter, was located at the entrance.

The entire bed was translucent like jade, with a chilling and piercing coldness. Ice patterns flowed along the edge of the bed, faintly revealing an extremely cold spiritual energy.

Even from several feet away, Shi Zhongyu could feel the chill emanating from the Xuanbing ice, which made his skin stiff.

Even Hua Wanzi, who was standing to the side, subconsciously adjusted her clothes after coming over.

"This is the Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Bed, extremely yin and cold. If used for practicing martial arts, it is several times more effective than a secret chamber."

Hua Wanzi's voice was cold as she turned to Shi Zhongyu and said, "The premise is that you can withstand it. Let me remind you, even your master and the others would find it difficult to endure on the Xuanbing Bed for a long time!"

Since he could practice his skills on the ice bed, Shi Zhongyu was not afraid of the cold at all.

"Uncle-Master, can I practice here from now on?"

Hua Wanzi nodded.

"The Millennium Ice Bed is now officially open to you."

"You can be on top anytime you want."

Shi Zhongyu sat down directly on it.

As soon as he sat on the millennium-old ice bed, he shuddered violently.

The biting cold surged up his legs and buttocks, instantly making his teeth chatter and the hairs on his body stand on end.

Ignoring everything else, Shi Zhongyu gritted his teeth and tried to use the Snow Mountain Heart Sutra to temper his internal energy with the cold air.

But in just a moment, the cold air that invaded his body made his limbs feel cold and numb, and even his meridians ached.

Hua Wanzi watched with amusement.

Most people would find it difficult to endure even half a quarter of an hour after first touching the ice bed.

Not to mention Shi Zhongyu, whose internal strength is weak.

She wanted to see how long this kid could hold out.

Time passed slowly, and a quarter of an hour went by.

Hua Wanzi stopped smiling and stared at Shi Zhongyu with a serious expression.

She looked him up and down, then became suspicious.

Strange, when did this kid's internal strength become so profound that he was able to withstand the ice bed for so long?

She could tell that Shi Zhongyu's internal strength had become extremely profound, like someone who had practiced martial arts for decades.

"Did this kid perhaps take some kind of magic pill?"

Time flowed by slowly, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Half an hour had just passed.

Shi Zhongyu leaped up from the ice bed in a flash. Once on the ground, he rubbed his hands together, stomped his feet, and breathed on them to warm them up.

"Uncle-Master, this...this ice bed is emitting a very strange chill."

"I feel like my muscles and skin are about to get frostbite."

When Shi Zhongyu sat on it to practice, he could sense that the cold air emanating from the Xuanbing Bed was different from that emanating from the ice in the secret room.

It is even colder and more lingering.

Even if he uses his internal energy cultivation technique, he can only hold on until now.

The ice bed was strange as it was, but in half an hour, he was able to circulate his energy three times over.

After breathing out some air, Shi Zhongyu took out the Cold Breath Pill from his pocket and swallowed it.

Since reaching the mastery level, he has rarely had the opportunity to take the Cold Breath Pill.

His body had long since adapted to the coldness within him, and it would no longer cause him to become pale or experience pain in his meridians.

He took the elixir yesterday, which enabled his internal energy to reach the perfect level in one fell swoop.

He figured he wouldn't need the Cold Breath Pill much anymore.

As a result, I have to take it today.

After taking the Cold Breath Pill, Shi Zhongyu circulated his body for a quarter of an hour to digest its medicinal effects.

However, he was horrified to discover that the Cold Breath Pill was not as effective as before.

The strange chill from the ice bed still lingered within his body.

Upon hearing Shi Zhongyu's words, Hua Wanzi couldn't help but ask, "How come your internal energy is so profound?"

Shi Zhongyu answered truthfully.

"Oh, Granny Shi gave me a pill, and my internal strength increased greatly after I took it."

"I see."

Hua Wanzi exclaimed with emotion, "I never expected my master's wife to value you so much, actually willing to give you the most precious White Snake Pill!"

"You must not let your teacher's wife down in the future."

Shi Zhongyu was helpless.

"Understood, Martial Uncle."

He pointed to the ice bed and then told Hua Wanzi about his physical condition.

Hua Wanzi smiled and said, "The Ice Bed is like this. If you can really practice your skills on it all the time, everyone can become a peerless master."

"Actually, I originally thought you wouldn't last more than fifteen minutes, but I never imagined you had such profound internal strength!"

"Given your current condition, your body should recover by the afternoon. You can come and practice then."

Shi Zhongyu responded with an "oh," then asked curiously, "Uncle-Master, how long can you stay up there?"

"Why ask so many questions? Just focus on practicing your skills!"

Hua Wanzi looked unnatural, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

"Now that you've finished practicing the mental cultivation method, go and practice your stance training!"

She looked at Shi Zhongyu with a half-smile as she spoke.

"You're only here today to experience it. From now on, you'll have to practice your stance training on the ice bed every day."

Practicing stance training on the ice bed?

Shi Zhongyu did not show a distressed expression as Hua Wanzi had expected; instead, he seemed eager to try.

Hua Wanzi hurriedly stopped her.

"Don't try it now. It's not worth it if you damage your meridians."

"Let's practice our stances over there!"

Hua Wanzi pointed to a spot in the valley where there were stone pillars.

Each stone pillar is just big enough to accommodate one foot.

Seeing Shi Zhongyu standing in the stance, Hua Wanzi immediately flew up as well.

"Kid, watch my step!"

Shi Zhongyu stared intently and noticed that his Uncle Hua was constantly moving his feet on the stone pillar.

However, with each movement, he felt as if he hadn't moved at all.

"You're quite proficient in standing meditation now, but that's far from enough. You need to practice dynamic standing meditation!"

"Stakes are divided into dead and living!"

"To perfect your stance training, you must practice dynamic stance training!"

With Hua Wanzi's guidance, Shi Zhongyu's proficiency in stance training continued to improve.

In the days that followed, either Hua Wanzi brought Shi Zhongyu here to practice, or Feng Wanli brought him.

The two took turns teaching Shi Zhongyu stance training and instructing him on swordsmanship.

This allowed Shi Zhongyu's skills to improve rapidly.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.
