Wei Chen was just about to channel his inner strength to disperse the initially condensed Spiritual Wisdom Soul and Martial Soul when the Demon Lotus, lurking within his soul, finally stirred.
"Finally reacting, huh? Damn it, help me out already!" Wei Chen thought with a flicker of joy, his tightly furrowed brows relaxing, though he still muttered complaints under his breath.
Within the soul, the Demon Lotus spun rapidly, one of its petals separating and heading straight for the Spiritual Wisdom Soul!
In an instant, the Water Soul power that had just been scattered by Wei Chen quickly recondensed. The Spiritual Wisdom Soul opened wide, and in Wei Chen's astonished inner vision, the Spiritual Wisdom Soul, Martial Soul, and Water Soul simply came together to form...
"What the hell is this? I wanted an Ocean Soul! Why did you give me a Water Soul? What does that even mean? A regular Water Soul? I could have done that myself without your help!"
Wei Chen cursed angrily. The Spiritual Wisdom Soul was incredibly important to him; he needed a powerful Ocean Soul, not a mere Water Soul! Condensing a Water Soul was something any Soul Warrior could easily accomplish in the Soul World; it was far too simple.
"Demon Lotus, at a critical moment like this, not only do you not help but you also sabotage me? What’s that supposed to mean? Damn it!"
Wei Chen looked into his Spiritual Wisdom Soul and Water Soul, feeling utterly helpless.
In the enhancement of Martial Souls through the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, both the Spiritual Wisdom Soul and Martial Soul were crucial. How could one casually produce a Water Soul? At the very least, it should be a lake or a river! Condensing an Ocean Soul was extremely difficult. Wei Chen had hoped for assistance from the Demon Lotus, but now it seemed that it had indeed helped—just not in the way he wanted.
After a while, Wei Chen finally regained his composure and began to cultivate again. As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Since he had already produced an ordinary Water Soul, he had no choice but to bear with it and strive to break through to the true Spirit Wisdom Realm.
Wei Chen's body already contained a vast amount of Frost Soul Power, which was another form of Water Soul Power. Coupled with the boundless icy plains and Ice Sea surrounding him, there was plenty of Water Soul Power available. It didn’t take long before Wei Chen directly broke through to the second level of Spirit Wisdom Realm. He returned to shore, rejoined Snow Cicada, and began their journey back.
"Young Master, have you finished your cultivation?" Snow Cicada asked with an expectant look.
Wei Chen smiled wryly and nodded. "I suppose so. It's not as good as I imagined, but my strength has indeed increased significantly."
Pausing for a moment, Wei Chen looked at Snow Cicada and said, "Snow Cicada, do you really want to become a Soul Warrior? There are many things you won't understand until you become one. Once you truly become a Soul Warrior, life may not be as good as you think. For example, in Blizzard City, if you're not a Soul Warrior, you can live like an ordinary person. But once you become one, that kind of peaceful life will be gone forever. Even if you don’t seek trouble, trouble will find you."
Snow Cicada pondered for a moment, then nodded earnestly and said, "Young Master, I want to become a Soul Warrior. No matter how many difficulties I face, I will persevere. Before meeting you, I had no opportunity, but now that I have one, I must seize it."
"Alright, what I'm about to say will be repeated three times, and you need to remember it well. If after three repetitions you still haven't memorized it, then I won't continue. It would prove that you lack the talent to become a Soul Warrior, and no amount of effort would matter."
Wei Chen explained the insights he gained about Soul Power and the method of condensing Soul Power that he learned from the Cloud Spirit Sect. Just as he was about to repeat it for the second time, Snow Cicada smiled proudly and said, "Young Master, I've remembered everything; you don’t need to repeat it."
"Is that so impressive?"
"I have a photographic memory."
"Alright then, give it a try."
Wei Chen controlled the Snow Wolf Dog at a steady pace while Snow Cicada lightly closed her eyes. Following Wei Chen's guidance on sensing Soul Power, she began to feel the vast Soul Power in the surroundings. Soon, a faint aura of Soul Power began to emanate from her body.
Wei Chen turned his head in astonishment to look at Snow Cicada and thought to himself, "Could it really be this intense? To grasp Soul Power in such a short time?"
Before Wei Chen could be shocked for long, the aura of Soul Power around Snow Cicada grew denser. The initial faint sensation transformed into something stable and orderly...
Stable and orderly? Does that mean Snow Cicada is absorbing Soul Power?
"What a peculiar situation; in this strange place, I keep encountering extraordinary individuals. That old man was peculiar, and Snow Cicada is also extraordinary... To start absorbing Soul Power in such a short time—what kind of monstrous talent is this? Back when I was at the Cloud Spirit Sect, it took me half a year just to absorb Soul Power for the first time."
Seeing someone else excel so quickly nearly drove Wei Chen mad with envy. He didn't want to disturb Snow Cicada; he knew that at this moment, she couldn't afford any interruptions. The pace of the Snow Wolf Dog gradually slowed down to avoid causing her any distraction.
After some time, Wei Chen and Snow Cicada entered Blizzard City. The journey had been relatively smooth without any attacks from beasts. Moreover, even if they had encountered beast attacks, Wei Chen wouldn't have cared; his strength was such that those beasts posed no threat to him in the Extreme North.
“Snow Cicada, it’s time to take revenge for you.”
Upon entering Blizzard City, Wei Chen did not rush to leave. He had long made a promise to Snow Cicada, and now it was time to fulfill it.
Snow Cicada nodded, but her expression was filled with helplessness as she smiled bitterly. “Young Master, Blizzard City is so vast, and people are dying everywhere. How are we supposed to find those individuals?”
“It’s simple. Don’t worry; we’ll go to the Lord’s mansion and ask the Lord for help in finding them.”
With that, Wei Chen wrapped his arm around Snow Cicada’s waist. Her face flushed red as she lowered her head, too shy to move. In the next moment, however, she gasped as Wei Chen lifted her into the air.
The powerful aura of a Spirit Wisdom Realm Level Two burst forth without reservation!
The strong figures within Blizzard City were stirred. Some who could fly took to the skies, trailing behind Wei Chen from a distance. Those who couldn’t fly ran on the ground, following the trail of Wei Chen’s energy.
It had been a long time since such a formidable presence had appeared in Blizzard City. The aura not only exuded a violent dominance but also carried a chilling intent to kill!
“Looks like there’s going to be a good show!”
“Quickly! It’s in the direction of the Lord’s mansion!”
Under Snow Cicada’s guidance, Wei Chen arrived above the Lord’s mansion. The strongest force within Blizzard City, and the only Major Force, was indeed the power of the Lord’s mansion.
“Your Excellency, may I ask what brings you to my Lord's mansion?”
A middle-aged man dressed in precious animal skins flew into the air. Behind him followed four Peak Experts from the Spirit Realm. The aura of this middle-aged man was also at the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm.
With such strength, Wei Chen had killed many, and now he could easily eliminate anyone in an instant.
"Young Master, that is the Lord of the City. You should be cautious; the Lord of the City is very powerful. Many troublemakers in Blizzard City have been killed by him," Snow Cicada said, pressing herself against Wei Chen, trembling with fear.
This was the first time she faced someone she recognized as the most formidable and influential figure. A deep sense of awe welled up within her.
"Don't worry, it's fine. I don't take city lords like this seriously," Wei Chen calmly reassured Snow Cicada before turning his gaze to the Lord of the City across from him.
"Lord of the City, I have a matter to discuss with you. This isn't the place for conversation; let's go somewhere else."
"Alright, please lead the way."
The Lord of the City was quite straightforward. He gave Wei Chen a deep look before heading to the city lord's mansion, thinking that as long as they weren't here to cause trouble, everything would be fine. Wei Chen's aura was indeed powerful; in a place like Blizzard City, there were no rivals for him, and the Lord of the City was reluctant to offend him easily.
Those who had come to watch were left disappointed; it seemed that a master was seeking help from the Lord of the City rather than causing trouble...
In Blizzard City, countless people envied the power of the city lord's mansion and wished for it to be thrown into chaos.
This time, they felt let down.
"Let's cut to the chase. You monopolized the purchase of Snow Fox Fur. Gather all those who have sold Snow Fox Fur recently; among them are those who have offended me and killed my brother. I will definitely take revenge," Wei Chen stated directly after sitting down.
The Lord of the City was taken aback but quickly ordered his subordinates to handle it. He had expected something troublesome but was surprised it was just this matter. Those who sold Snow Fox Fur were all recorded and were mostly weak hunters who weren't even Soul Warriors; finding them would be quite simple for the city lord's mansion.
"May I ask where Your Excellency is from?" The city lord asked with a cheerful smile as he had tea prepared for Wei Chen and Snow Cicada.
"We come from Ling City, Dingsheng Trading Company. Sister Qingya is my friend," Wei Chen replied.
"Sister Qingya?" The city lord's face lit up with a broad smile upon hearing this. The business in Blizzard City was closely tied to Dingsheng Trading Company! A friend of Sister Qingya was indeed a rare and esteemed guest!
The Lord of the City went out of his way to flatter Wei Chen, who cleverly promised to speak well of him in front of Elegant, though in reality, he had no intention of bothering Elegant at all. Wei Chen held no fondness for this shrewd businessman; he simply wanted to avoid trouble. With the city lord smiling at him, he had no reason to create conflict.
Several hours later, the city lord hosted a lavish dinner for Wei Chen and Snow Cicada. In Blizzard City, resources were scarce and ingredients expensive. For Snow Cicada, who had rarely enjoyed anything high-end, this meal was the best she had ever had.
As night fell and still no news arrived, Wei Chen and Snow Cicada left the city lord's residence and headed to her home.
It was a true slum—dirty, chaotic, and dilapidated. Snow Cicada's home was on the edge of this poverty-stricken area, a low bungalow with two rooms, right on the road with almost no buffer zone.
Once inside the room, Wei Chen glanced around and nodded to himself. It was indeed a girl's room; despite its poverty, it was clean and filled with a faint floral fragrance.
"Snow Cicada, where are your parents?"
"They died when I was eight in the Snowfield, killed by a beast. It's common for hunters around here to meet such fates; dying in the Snowfield without even leaving behind bones is normal," Snow Cicada replied calmly as she skillfully started a fire and tidied up the bed.
"Young master, you can sleep on my bed; I'll go sleep in my brother's room."
"I'll go take a look with you."
"No need, no need! I can go by myself; my brother's room is messy," Snow Cicada quickly shook her head.
Wei Chen stubbornly pulled Snow Cicada's hand and led her outside the neighboring room. "Open the door, let me take a look."
With no choice, Snow Cicada opened the door.
"It's like a refugee camp in here..."
As Wei Chen surveyed the scene before him, he noticed an Eight Immortals table, a makeshift bed piled with stones topped with tattered, filthy bedding, a dark stove with an iron pot, shabby clay jars, yellow rice noodles, pickled vegetables, and some discarded herbs in the corner.
"I'm sorry for the mess," Snow Cicada said, her face flushing.
Wei Chen shook his head with a smile. The environment was indeed poor, but he felt no discomfort; he could sleep anywhere, no matter how dirty or chaotic it was.
"I'll rest here. You go back to your room. We can visit the lord's mansion tomorrow."
"No way! Young Master, my brother's room is too dirty; I can't let you stay here!" Snow Cicada's eyes were filled with determination as she pulled Wei Chen into her room.
"Young Master, you can sleep here. If you find it unacceptable, I'll take you to an inn," Snow Cicada insisted, staring intently at him.
Just as Wei Chen was about to refuse, Snow Cicada pulled him onto the bed. Biting her lip hard, she looked at him with dreamy eyes and softly said, "Young Master, if you don't mind, I can sleep here with you..."
"Uh... this bed seems a bit cramped..."
