slowly opened his eyes, and saw a sword lying before him.The blade reflected a sliver of cold light, which flowed slowly across his face.The man who was just holding a sword to kill him, is now holdin...: []
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
On the third day, Lin Qi and her senior sister Yuan Xi prepared to set off.
Qingyun True Lord personally sent the two of them to Lùbing Peak.
Luo Ci was also taken away.
He stood beside Qingyun True Monarch, watching Lin Qi follow Yuan Xi and all the disciples of Lu Bingfeng sink into the Abyss of Frozen Blood. Envy made his saliva almost drop.
For a moment, he also wanted to try his luck at the market.
Perhaps you might even make some good connections.
Qing Yun Zhenjun gave him a faint glance, the corner of his lips curving into a gentle smile.
"Every opportunity comes at a price. Had Yuan Xi not been there that day, Xiao Qi would have been in grave danger."
It sounded like a casual remark, but it hit Luo Ci's thoughts right on the mark.
Luo Ci stiffened her face, straightened her small waist, and looked uneasy all over.
Qing Yun Zhenjun's face was filled with a smile. "Luo Ci, cultivation should be down-to-earth, the foundation is paramount."
"You have now broken through the first level of Qi Refinement. Your master has newly refined an Eight-Faced Flowing Wind Array Disk, so you can try using it first."
Luo Ci's dim eyes suddenly emitted a bright light, completely unaware of the danger, happily following Qing Yun Zhenjun back to Zhong Lei Peak.
……
Lin Qi hugged Yuan Xi's waist, experiencing sword flight for the first time.
Even the cold wind that hit her face couldn't suppress the excitement beating in her heart.
In the depths shrouded by frigid air, countless white-clad sword wielders flit through the abyss.
The cliffs on both sides were formed by thousands of years of ice, and the cold air emanating from them resembled smoke swirling around, a breathtakingly beautiful yet perilous sight.
The deeper one went, the more bone-chillingly oppressive cold rushed into their body. Lin Qi became increasingly awestruck by this bottomless abyss.
When they reached a raised, ice-forged platform, the leading elder of the Lùbing Peak took the lead and descended first.
The disciples who followed also landed in an orderly manner, arranging themselves neatly on the platform.
Elder Yue sheathed his sword, placing one hand behind him and calling out the names.
When Lin Qi heard the three words "Tan Yueqing," he was taken aback, his gaze unconsciously shifting towards the team belonging to Lùbing Peak.
This time, there were fifty disciples who entered the Abyss of Frozen Blood, forty of whom were from the Lu Bing Peak. The remaining ten spots were fiercely contested by disciples from all other peaks.
Although the teams weren't clearly divided, it was obvious that the disciples from each peak, listed individually as a team, didn't quite belong.
Lin Qi saw Tan Yueqing, who was half a head taller than her, at the back of the team on Lùbīng Peak.
Her thin figure was very conspicuous among a group of teenage disciples.
The girl was beautiful, but her whole body emanated an air of aloofness and coldness. Her eyes were clear and sharp as she stared ahead, with little fluctuation in her emotions.
Entering the Ice Abyss is a rare opportunity, even for disciples of the Ice Frost Peak. Only the most outstanding disciples during the Foundation Establishment period are chosen to enter.
Even a newly-discipled initiate like Tan Yueqing could be sent to the depths of Li Bing Abyss. It shows how much Li Bing Feng values her.
Lin Qi thought, this should be a good competitor.
"Lu Bingfeng, Lin Qi."
When the elder shouted for the first time, he found that there was silence all around, and no one responded.
He patiently called out again: "Lu Bingfeng, Lin Qi!"
After a few breaths, Lin Qi's crisp voice rang out: "Disciple is here."
Her childish voice instantly drew a lot of attention. When everyone saw Lin Qi behind Yuan Xi, they were all shocked.
He's probably only five years old at most, judging by his height and appearance.

Speaking of which, among the top ten who ascended the Immortal Stair this year, was there a young girl
Elder Yue paused, staring at Lin Qi's face carefully to confirm the information. After confirming that it was the right person, he reminded, "Next time, respond faster. If you exceed three unanswered responses, you will be sent for identity verification."
Lin Qi opened her eyes wide and looked at Elder Yue, her fair little face looking innocent and pure.
Yue Changlao retracted his gaze, just about to read the next person's name, when he heard Lin Qi reply calmly, "Yes."
His gaze once again focused on Lin Qi's face.
She behaved very quietly and obediently, with not a trace of arrogance or aloofness on her face. She seemed to be naturally slow to react.
Elder Yue lifted his eyelids and glanced at Lin Qi once more, then continued to call out names.
After touching the person, he loudly reminded, “When entering the cave, disciples at the Qi Refining stage stop at the first door, Foundation Establishment disciples stop at the second door, and those from the late Foundation Establishment to the Great Accomplishment stage follow me in.”
"Yes."
A group of disciples respectfully replied.
After the sound fell silent, Lin Qi's slow "Yes" followed.
Now everyone fully realized, Lin Qi is a patient person.
However, most of them here are Foundation Establishment cultivators. They have seen a lot of the world and wouldn't be surprised easily. Instead, they had more understanding towards Lin Qi's slow reaction.
Lin Qi followed Yuan Xi's senior sister into the cave. She curiously glanced around.
"Senior Sister, how could Lùbīng Peak have thought of carving out such a large cave in the middle of the Ice Cliff"
The cave was sixty meters high and located halfway up the mountain. The entrance was adorned with magnificent ice sculptures of various colors, and intricate patterns covered every corner.
Building such an ice cave would take a lot of manpower and resources.
The deeper you go, the more intense the cold becomes.
Lin Qi vaguely guessed why the disciples who entered the cave were divided into levels.
Yuan Xi, the senior sister, answered in a low voice: "This cave was built by Master Han Zhenjun's ancestor to preserve the body of his beloved. It took decades to choose the location and set up the formations and carvings. However, before the cave was finished, that ancestor's lover had her body destroyed by an evil cultivator."
Ancestral Master, enraged, stormed into the headquarters of the demonic cultivators, slaughtering for ten days and ten nights. Finally, she embraced her lover's corpse and slumbered eternally in a deep cave.
Lin Qi only then knew that the stunning carvings and formations he had seen along the way came from this.
Master Yuanxi stood beside her, explaining in detail: “Later, the Sect Master discovered that the cold air within the cave was beneficial for cultivators with Ice Spirit Roots. He then discussed with the Head of Lübing Peak at the time, and decided to send a batch of disciples into the cave every year for cultivation.”
"
Since it was opened up by the ancestor of Lu Bingfeng, the number of places to enter has always been controlled by Lu Bingfeng. However, everything that disciples do after entering the Lu Bing Abyss is the responsibility of Lu Bingfeng.
"
Lin Qi nodded understandingly, she tugged at Yuan Xi's sleeve.
"Senior sister, just follow Elder Yue to the back later. Don't worry about me."
Lin Qi understands that Yuan Xi, her senior sister, has a gentle and accommodating personality.
She will definitely spend some time with Lin Qi at the first gate first, waiting until Lin Qi is thoroughly familiar with the environment before moving on.
But Lin Qi didn't want to waste Yuan Xi's cultivation time because of her, so she spoke up in advance.
Yuanxi's senior sister wanted to say something, Lin Qi tugged at her sleeve and started acting cute.
"Senior sister, I remembered everything you reminded me of when I came."
"As a Qi Refinement cultivator, staying with the other disciples in the Qi Condensation stage feels like wasting your master's good intentions. I would also feel deeply guilty."
Lin Qi knew that she couldn't win an argument with her senior sister, so she could only appeal to emotions.
Yuanxi Shijie was indeed powerless to resist, only managing to shove the tender buds of Huolinghua into Lin Qi's arms at parting.
He kept chattering incessantly, offering all sorts of advice and reminders, which drew envious glances from the surrounding disciples. of Nán Gōng Yuán's exhaustion after defeating three cultivators and attacked her while she was at her weakest. Therefore, her victory was not entirely honorable.Most importantly, the person involved,...
