Chapter 38: Ice Holding Technique
The head of the Ning family smiled bitterly: "Tell me your conditions."
Every time Ning Xiaohui said one, his face became gloomier.
After saying five, the head of the family could no longer bear it and raised his hand to stop: "Stop, stop for a while."
Grandma Ning is very experienced and said unhappily: "Why stop? My granddaughter is going to fight hard this time."
The old man of the Futang family also joined in: "Patriarch, do you know? The City Lord's Mansion has already made efforts and arranged multiple teams of city guards to patrol the Fire Persimmon Fairy City and began to strictly investigate the cultivators who practiced the Five Elements Qi Law Jue."
"Once Xiaohui participates in this competition, it will not only be dangerous in the Lava Fairy Palace."
Grandma Ning snorted coldly: "We are all main veins, we are all our own people, not outsiders of the branch veins, what are you stingy about, Patriarch?"
Ning Zhuo woke up and it was already noon the next day.
He felt much better.
"It seems that I need some pills to nourish and restore the soul."
Although Ning Zhuo usually reserves a lot of pills, not many of them involve the soul.
According to his first experience of exploring the Lava Fairy Palace, this kind of elixir will be indispensable in the future.
"It's not just the giant tree in Room 2 that can weaken the soul."
"When the soul is extracted and resides on the mechanical puppet, it also slowly consumes the soul power."
"Therefore, the stronger the soul foundation is, the more beneficial it is to explore the Lava Fairy Palace."
Ning Zhuo took action as soon as he thought.
He decided to buy soul-nourishing elixirs from multiple elixir pavilions and pharmacies in the city. And every time he bought, he would buy other elixirs as a cover.
As a result, he heard someone complaining about the city guards arresting people everywhere when he was walking halfway.
At the same time, he also saw many notices posted on the wall - the City Lord's Mansion was testing the Five Elements Qi Law as soon as possible, worried that this was a magic method disguised as a Taoist method. In order to prevent accidents, the monks in the city were ordered not to practice this method for the time being.
Ning Zhuo immediately changed his plan and did not dare to go to the elixir pavilion and pharmacy to buy medicine.
When he rushed back, he heard some rumors again, which made him feel nervous.
"Meng Chong, Zheng Jian, and Zhou Zhu were attacked and assassinated?"
"It's terrible."
"These geniuses, under the heavy protection of the family, will encounter these things."
"If an ordinary person like me is exposed, I will definitely be worse off than them!"
"My mother is right, I should hide well."
Ning Zhuo returned home.
He needs to stock up more soul-nourishing pills, but now the situation is too tense, so he decided to slow down for the time being.
Ning Zhuo considered the black market.
But since the bombing of the Immortal Palace, his Cang Tie Han Jia has been damaged a lot. The surface of the armor, especially the back, is too damaged.
The most important thing is that only one tenth of the foundation-building pill, one of the core accessories, has been consumed.
This is Ning Zhuo's trump card, and it cannot be abused.
"First, practice the spell rewarded by the Immortal Palace."
The spell Ning Zhuo got is called the Ice Holding Spell. After activation, it can freeze the object in the arms into ice.
Ning Zhuo studied it for a while, and his first feeling was that this spell was a bit weak.
He previously majored in the Snow Domain Talisman Atlas, possessed frost-related mana, and mastered several spells.
For example, Ice Lance, Frost Flower, Snowball, etc.
"The biggest drawback of the Ice Holding Spell is that it must be fought in close combat to be effective."
"And conventional spells such as Ice Lance and Snowball can basically attack from a distance."
In actual combat, this defect is very large.
This made Ning Zhuo want to use the Ice Lance.
In fact, he wanted to use it when he was in the Lava Fairy Palace.
The problem is that he can't use it!
Here we have to talk about the differences and connections between the skills and spells.
The skills are such as the Five Elements Qi Law and the Snow Domain Talisman Atlas, which are mainly used to refine mana.
Spells are such as Ice Lance, Frost Flower, and Ice Holding Spell, which are some methods and techniques for using mana.
Spells are based on the skills.
The mana of the cultivators is classified into various categories. The ice-attributed mana cannot be used for the Fire Dragon Technique. At most, it can be used for the Ice Dragon Technique, the Snow Whale Technique, etc.
After Ning Zhuo had the five-element mana, he also tried to use the Ice Spear Technique, but it couldn't be activated at all.
Because his mana has all five elements, if he wants to use a single-line spell, he must first extract the corresponding mana.
The Ice Spear Technique he mastered is not compatible with the Five Elements Qi Law.
The spell needs to be improved.
This situation is very common in the world of cultivation.
If Ning Zhuo changes to another ice-attributed skill, he will most likely be able to use the previous Ice Spear Technique directly. However, the original spell is not completely suitable for the existing mana, and there will be a lot of loss in it, and it still needs to be modified to a perfect match.
The Ice Holding Technique is something Ning Zhuo can use directly.
Because it is a spell that is completely compatible with the Five Elements Qi Law.
After Ning Zhuo practiced several times, the water element of the five elements of magic power was drawn out separately, and he used the ice holding technique.
The wooden stool in Ning Zhuo's arms was covered with frost in an instant. The frost spread rapidly, becoming thicker and thicker. After a few breaths, it froze into an ice block.
Ning Zhuo could not hide his surprise: "Is the power of this ice holding technique so powerful?"
Compared with conventional spells such as ice spear, snowball, and frost flower, the power of ice holding technique is obviously more than one level higher.
Next, Ning Zhuo concentrated on practicing this spell in the underground workshop.
Benches, chairs, mirrors, bricks, etc. were all frozen into ice blocks by him.
He became addicted to practicing.
The ground and the corners were covered with ice lumps of various sizes, freezing all kinds of things. The entire underground workshop was filled with cold air, and it was like an underground ice cellar.
"The three options I encountered in front of the first door were spirit stones, hanging rings, and a breath of air."
"Thinking carefully, these three options should all help me pass the level."
"There is no need to talk about spirit stones. The hanging ring is probably similar to the up and down wishful ropes I made, and the breath of air spell should allow the mechanical puppet to change direction in the air, or even float in the air for a short time."
"According to this idea, the reward option I got in front of the second door will also help me pass the level."
"There is no need to talk about spirit stones. I didn't see clearly what the mechanical parts are. But judging from the spell of holding ice, I may need to fight in room 3."
Ning Zhuo analyzed the situation with clear logic. There is also evidence - holding ice is a typical attack spell.
"Room No. 1 requires monks to assemble mechanical puppets, Room No. 2 tests the puppets' ability to jump, run, and dodge, and Room No. 3 may be a battle."
"From this point of view, the tests of Lava Fairy Palace are also teachings. It seems that the three masters are not only selecting outstanding people, but also training mechanical skills."
"Alas, my soul is almost healed. I just don't know when I can enter the Fairy Palace again."
That night, Ning Zhuo, who was tired from training, fell asleep.
He felt something was wrong and wanted to open his eyes, but found that it was still dark.
After a few seconds of shock, he sensed his surroundings and became excited instantly.
"My soul was drawn out again and entered the Lava Fairy Palace!"
