Chapter 203: 203: North Pole (2)

In the North Pole...

Upon the arrival of their group of three in the north pole, they immediately tried to find the target and reason why they had come to this kind of place. Ice Ore Stone is one of the natural materials in the world that is born from an extreme cold location and was made up of ice elements themselves. It only possessed the size of an adult fist and is said to be as smooth as a jade with an almost transparent color of ice.

The task of looking for its trace had fallen to Tan Bingyu, as she possessed a powerful Yin physique called Nine Meridians Yin. It's a physique that is loved by ice elements, and his compatibility with them was top-notch. Taught how to trace the Ice Ore Stone by Taiyang, Tan Bingyu is now trying to find it through the method she was taught.

Seated on the ice in a lotus form, Tan Bingyu closed her eyes and spread her aura in the area. As expected, as Taiyang had said, almost all of the ice elements in the area were gathering towards her. But she also sensed the powerful aura of the sun in Taiyang's body with a golden-red hue.

As for her mistress, there's a powerful silver aura surrounding her as if protecting her and a powerful Yin aura, which is a bit similar to hers. Even so, the ice elements seem to keep themselves at the distance around her mistress. It's the situation of wanting to approach her but being prevented by that silver aura hovering around her.

Taiyang noticed Tan Bingyu's gaze falling on him and Yue Xuexia. "Stop wasting time or you will be tired before you can find what you want to find. Don't look at us anymore. Check this area. Then we will move if you find nothing."

"Yangyang, don't make things urgent. Let Sister Bingyu take her time," said Yue Xuexia as she pulled an ice cream from her inventory.

Taiyang looked at Yue Xuexia and asked, "Ice cream in the North Pole?"

"Why not? It won't melt too fast that way. Why do you want one? Chocolate or Strawberry?" asked Yue Xuexia as she brought two cups of Haagen Dazs.

Taiyang responded, "Chocolate."

The two started eating, waiting for Tan Bingyu to finish checking the area. Her face was covered in cold sweat from the exertion of qi in her body, yet at the same time she got replenished by the ice elements gathering around her body.

Taiyang and Yue Xuexia can see the flow of qi; this includes the movements of elements as well as the heaven and earth qi the world has.

Unfortunately, Tan Bingyu didn't find anything within this area. She opened her eyes and looked at the two eating ice cream and shook her head.

"Nothing in this area," said Tan Bingyu as she took the ice cream cup with melon flavor from her mistress.

Taiyang, who was holding an ice cream bucket a lot bigger than the cup in Yue Xuexia's hand, said, "Let's change location then."

The three of them moved in three other directions but still found nothing. They found other treasures like ice jadeite and ice-related herbs, but no Ice Ore Stone at all. The sun had finally set by the time they finished making a temporary house under an area created from snow. An ice igloo.

The ice igloo was created by Tan Bingyu using her ability to control Ice. As for the white flame that keeps the interior warm yet doesn't melt the snow, it was Yue Xuexia's natal flame. The three of them are now preparing to make some soup, grill some meat, and cook some rice. This is all thanks to the system inventory, which Yue Xuexia had filled with food and other things they needed in this kind of place.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Sister Bingyu, what did you see when you tried to find traces of the Ice Ore Stone?"

"Ice Elements. It's just that I didn't find any place or location that showed a powerful aura of ice. Maybe the range of my sight was a bit small as well," said Tan Bingyu.

Yue Xuexia mumbles, "A powerful Ice aura is it?" She looked out of the window of their igloo and found that the moon is in full moon state today.

For some reason her eyes flashed with a shade of silver, but only for a moment. Yue Xuexia felt a powerful attraction as she looked at the full moon and couldn't help but look closer to it. She stood up to come out. Luckily, there is no blizzard tonight. Tan Bingyu and Taiyang noticed the change in Yue Xuexia's eyes and her plan to come out of the igloo.

Tan Bingyu tried to stop Yue Xuexia: "Mistress, where are you?"

"Don't stop her. Her physique is slowly awakening," said Taiyang as he noticed the powerful moon energy from the moon itself descending to where they are, and obviously its target is none other than Yue Xuexia.

Tan Bingyu asked, "What is the Mistress's physique?"

"Yin Moon Physique. I forgot that today is the first full moon of this month," said Taiyang. "Let's follow her outside."

As soon as they got out of the ice igloo, they saw an ethereal scene of Yue Xuexia floating right under the full moon and was surrounded by a silver aura. The full moon seems to have descended as close as possible towards Yue Xuexia, who was meditating with her eyes closed. There's a translucent silver lotus under her as support.

Not far from them is Shen Jueyang, who used his human form just to watch this moment. His long red hair sways together with the breeze, and the ice that fell on him melted without direct contact around him. His golden-red eyes were staring at Yue Xuexia not far from them, and he was dazed as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Shen Jueyang noticed the two approaching and said, "I am not sure whether she is her or not. However, this is the power of the moon. This is her domain. How can Xue'er use it?"

"Tan Bingyu, are you sure that there isn't any crescent birthmark on Xue'er's body?" asked Taiyang.

Tan Bingyu said, "I'm sure of it! There is no such thing! I didn't lie!"

Taiyang sighed and said, "If there is no birthmark, then... this is her first stage awakening."

"The first stage awakening of the Yin Moon Physique is to create a connection with the moon. This situation matches the description well," Shen Jueyang said as he couldn't help but grip his fist while trying to keep his emotionless face.

His thoughts are: 'The Moon Goddess insignia is located at her spine near her nape. Will Xue'er's moon insignia also appear in that location? Are you her reincarnation, Xue'er?'

But under their gaze, a small crescent moon appeared at the lower corner of Yue Xuexia's eyes, and as she slowly opened her eyes, her iris was tinted with a lighter shade of silver. Her cultivation realm was boasted under this moonlight from the peak golden core stage; she broke through to the early Nascent Soul Stage. 

Yue Xuexia's eyes fell on the three people below her. Of course, he noticed Shen Jueyang, who failed to turn in his system on time. Yet her eyes only glanced with an expressionless face and looked at Taiyang with a smile.

"Yangyang, I found it! A place with a powerful Ice elemental aura!" said Yue Xuexia as she fell right before Taiyang and Tan Bingyu.

The two noticed that Yue Xuexia had ignored Shen Jueyang despite looking at him first. They didn't know how to react, as they'd seen Shen Jueyang suddenly frowning and disappearing on the spot. Yue Xuexia turned around as she noticed the two with her looking behind her and saw that the unknown man he saw had suddenly disappeared.

"Hm? He disappeared. Is he a ghost just as I thought?" mumbled Yue Xuexia.

Tan Bingyu said, "Ghost?"

"Isn't he? I mean, this is the north pole, and we walked around until sunset and saw no one. Thus, except for us, there are no other people. He suddenly appeared and then disappeared, which makes him a ghost, right?" said Yue Xuexia.

Tan Bingyu didn't know what to say, as she had seen that man multiple times saving her mistress. He and Taiyang would sometimes appear together and sometimes not, but she is sure that they are different people. As for Taiyang, he is still annoyed by how the main body had treated Xue'er and thus had no intention of introducing him at all.

Taiyang said, "Isn't he a ghost? Then let's ignore him. Where is the location you've found?"

"It's right under our feet. It's underwater though. I don't want to swim in ice cold water!" said Yue Xuexia.

The glacier they were in is just the mere tip of the iceberg. There is a real ice mountain submerged under the ocean and is most likely connected to the land in the water. It's just that people would think twice about diving in this kind of water even though they could bear the temperature; the coldness that will surround their body makes it uncomfortable to bear. 

Tan Bingyu brought out a formation core and said, "We care to use this formation to protect us from water and temperature. It could only block Early Innateness Stage attack though."

"Can I attack while inside the formation?" asked Yue Xuexia.

Tan Bingyu nodded her head and said, "As long as the formation core doesn't break, we can last underwater for half a day."

"That should be enough. Let's go!" said Taiyang.
