After Snow Qincheng and Aotian entered the Room, they couldn't help but be taken aback.
The Room was only about two zhang in length and width, making it feel somewhat cramped. The walls of the Room were made of blue stone.
On those blue stone walls, there were mysterious runes. These runes appeared to be extraordinary, as they attracted the Heaven and Earth Profound Qi from the outside world, which soon filled the entire Room, making the Heaven and Earth Profound Qi within it vast like an ocean.
Once Aotian and Snow Qincheng stepped into the Room, they felt a thick wave of Heaven and Earth Profound Qi wash over them, causing their bodies to tremble slightly.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be where the Soul Elder is in seclusion," Aotian asked softly.
Snow Qincheng nodded slightly, gazing at the runes on the stone wall, and said, "My father once told me that there is a type of rune in the world that can gather Heaven and Earth Profound Qi, called the Gathering Rune. However, very few people can inscribe a Gathering Rune. There are also different levels of Gathering Runes: top-tier, high-tier, mid-tier, and low-tier. The Gathering Runes on that stone wall should be low-tier."
Hearing this, Aotian couldn't help but click his tongue. The Heaven and Earth Profound Qi in this Room was simply ten times that of the outside world. Yet, to gather such a quantity of profound energy with just a low-tier Gathering Rune made him wonder how terrifying the mid-tier, high-tier, or even top-tier Gathering Runes must be.
"The Heaven and Earth Profound Qi here is nearly ten times denser than that of the outside world; it truly is the best place for seclusion," Snow Qincheng said as she glanced at Aotian.
Aotian chuckled awkwardly before saying, "Um, Fair Lady Xue, what happened last time was purely an accident. I really didn't know you were in that Room, so I'm sorry!"
Snow Qincheng was slightly taken aback; then her eyes flickered with complex emotions.
If it had been before, her personality would have led her to strike this guy down with a sword. However, Aotian's selfless act of saving her stirred faint ripples in her calm heart.
With a light sigh, Snow Qincheng took out a green elixir from the Storage Ring and handed it to Aotian.
"Forget about that matter for now. This is the Healing Elixir from Xuantian Academy. You're injured pretty badly, so you should recover first. I need to refine the Ice Lotus Pill and strive to break through to the Human Spirit Realm. Otherwise, I won't be able to deal with those two annoying fellows when they team up."
Aotian was slightly taken aback, seemingly surprised that Snow Qincheng would let go of past grievances. After feeling pleased for a moment, he said, "As long as Fair Lady Xue doesn't hold it against me, it's fine. As for this elixir, Fair Lady Xue should keep it for herself; I managed to get some Healing Pills in that Room."
As he spoke, he took out an Azure Spirit Pill from the Storage Ring.
"This is the Azure Spirit Pill?" A hint of surprise flashed in Snow Qincheng's eyes.
Aotian nodded in affirmation.
"The efficacy of the Azure Spirit Pill is indeed not inferior to the elixir I gave you. In that case, you should hurry and heal yourself," Snow Qincheng said before moving to another corner, sitting cross-legged and remaining still as if in meditation.
Seeing this, Aotian said nothing more; he truly needed to start healing immediately.
In his confrontation with Feng Moyang, Aotian had been struck by a green handprint. Two of his ribs were broken, and his internal organs suffered varying degrees of shock. If he didn't heal in time, there could be lasting repercussions, so Aotian had to be cautious.
He swallowed the Azure Spirit Pill in one gulp, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged to refine its effects.
At that moment, Snow Qincheng slightly opened her eyes and stared at Aotian's somewhat pale yet handsome profile in a daze.
A sigh echoed in the Room, followed by an elixir exuding a cold and floral fragrance appearing within. The elixir was entirely snow-white, with a faint Ice Lotus pattern visible on its surface.
"Ice Lotus Pill, help me break through to the Human Spirit Realm!"
A calm voice echoed softly, and then the Ice Lotus Pill was swallowed by Snow Qincheng. Instantly, a thick layer of ice shards enveloped Snow Qincheng's entire body.
Time flowed slowly. In the room, two figures occupied opposite sides; one was fully recovering from injuries while the other was attempting to break through to the Human Spirit realm...
After an unknown period, the young man sitting cross-legged on the ground trembled slightly. Suddenly, his previously pale face began to turn rosy, and sounds of bones cracking echoed from within him.
"Finally, my injuries are almost healed. Damn it, that Feng Moyang really struck hard..." Aotian murmured as he touched his chest, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes like that of a beast.
After a while, Aotian glanced at Snow Qincheng not far away and was momentarily taken aback.
At that moment, Snow Qincheng was entirely covered by a thick Ice Layer, showing no signs of life, resembling a corpse.
However, Aotian could clearly sense that the surrounding Heaven and Earth Profound Qi was continuously flowing into Snow Qincheng's body, and within her, an immense energy was surging. It seemed that the ice-encased Snow Qincheng was undergoing a transformation akin to rebirth.
Aotian's gaze sharpened slightly:
"Is she breaking through to the Human Spirit Realm...?"
The gap between the Innate Realm and the Human Spirit Realm was significant.
In Fengyun Nation, there might be many martial artists in the Innate Realm, but those in the Human Spirit Realm were definitely rare.
During Aotian's training period, he had not encountered a single martial artist in the Human Spirit Realm, which highlighted just how precious they were within Fengyun Nation.
Countless extraordinary individuals may spend their entire lives without ever reaching the Human Spirit Realm. Yet here is Snow Qincheng, only twenty years old, attempting to break into the Human Spirit Realm. What a monstrous and perverse talent this must be!
Thinking this, Aotian couldn't help but sigh: no wonder she is a student of Xuantian Academy; her talent is truly astonishing.
However, Aotian also understood that for Snow Qincheng to truly reach the Human Spirit Realm, it would likely take a considerable amount of time. After all, that "Heavenly Abyss" is not something one can easily overcome.
With this in mind, Aotian touched his Storage Ring, and suddenly a fiery red pill appeared in his hand.
This pill was the Innate Pill that Aotian had obtained in that Room!
"With my current strength, it's difficult to acquire better resources in this ruin, but if I can break through to Innate Triple, then as long as I’m not facing a Half-Step Human Spirit warrior, I will have nothing to fear!" Aotian muttered to himself.
The cultivation of Innate Triple may not seem like much in this ruin, but let’s not forget that Aotian's strength far exceeds what he has shown.
Suddenly, Aotian swallowed the Innate Pill in one gulp. Instantly, the pill transformed into a pure energy that surged rapidly through Aotian's limbs and bones...
