The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!

Bing Tianxiao withdrew his hand, looked at the crystal-clear world before him, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, looking at the ice sculpture, his eyes darted around.

"This face, this lifeless vibe... why does he look so familiar?"

Bing Tianxiao muttered to himself as he rapidly swiped his fingers across the Spirit Value Card.

My gaze finally settled on a name and portrait at the top of the list.

"Eleventh on the wanted list, Dry Cliff! Bounty... three million spirit points?!"

"A big, fat sheep!"

Bing Tianxiao quickly held up the spirit value token in front of Luo Li and waved it, his face full of excitement:

"Luo Li, look! Looks like we're not short of spirit points."

Luo Li's expression remained aloof; she simply nodded slightly.

"Hmm, not bad."

Bing Tianxiao didn't care about her reaction and happily put away the storage bracelet and ice sculpture from the dry cliff.

These are all tokens for exchanging spirit points.

"Hehe, with these three million spirit points..."

As he happily contemplated his future "life of the rich," he took Luo Li's hand:

"Let's go, let's hurry to that Nine Spirits City before it gets dark."

……

As the sun sets, it paints the sky a brilliant, fiery red.

As the last rays of sunlight were about to fade, the outline of a majestic and massive ancient city came into view.

Finally, it came into their sight.

Nine Spirits City.

Nine Spirits City, as one of the top super cities on the Northern Cang Continent, is not only because a true supreme powerhouse is stationed behind it.

Furthermore, this is the headquarters of the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce, one of the three top chambers of commerce in the Northern Cang Continent.

Its level of prosperity far surpasses that of ordinary cities.

The massive city gate, like the mouth of a giant beast, swallowed and spat out the surging crowds from all directions.

Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li had just arrived and hadn't even had a chance to marvel at the grandeur of the ancient city.

Then they saw a guard team dressed in uniform crimson armor, all of whom exuded considerable aura, respectfully lined up on both sides.

A wide passage was carved out of the crowded crowd.

At the end of this passage, a woman dressed in a fiery red silk dress stood quietly.

She was stunningly beautiful, with skin as white as snow, and her long, flowing black hair was casually tied up, exuding a touch of languid charm.

Especially her long, narrow phoenix eyes, which sparkled with life, seemed to hold a flame within them, exuding an innate nobility and confidence.

Countless eyes were secretly observing this renowned beauty who was famous throughout the Northern Cang Continent.

Xia Youran, the eldest daughter of the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce.

Bing Tianxiao raised an eyebrow, his gaze lingering on that stunningly beautiful face for a moment.

It then landed on the faint yet terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from her body.

The Heavenly Realm!

Moreover, they are not beginners who have just started learning, but true experts with profound knowledge and skills!

This aura was dozens of times stronger than Li Xuantong's!

"Tsk tsk."

Bing Tianxiao made no attempt to hide his surprise, looking Xia Youran up and down, a playful smile playing on his lips:

"I say, isn't it a bit... a waste of talent for the Nine Xia Chamber of Commerce to send such a young Transcendent Realm expert as to personally handle the meeting?"

His words, though seemingly casual, actually revealed Xia Youran's true strength.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xia Youran's beautiful eyes.

She was wearing a high-level spiritual artifact that could conceal her aura; even a person at the late stage of the Transformation Realm might not be able to see through her secrets at a glance.

But this junior in front of me actually saw right through me at a glance?

This is truly remarkable!

"Hehe, junior, you have a good eye."

Xia Youran covered her mouth and chuckled, not denying it, but instead readily admitting it:

"Normally, I wouldn't be needed for such a small task as coordination."

"They are just junior students from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy. Wouldn't it be extremely impolite to send just any steward?"

Upon hearing this, Bing Tianxiao didn't mince words.

He casually took out the antique-looking storage bracelet and gently tossed it over:

"Here, these are your things, they're all inside, senior, would you like to take a look?"

Xia Youran reached out and took it, scanning it briefly with her divine sense.

She calmly put away the storage bracelet, her smile becoming even more radiant and captivating.

He turned to the attendant behind him and gave the order:

"Go and arrange the best VIP villa for the two junior students. If there is any neglect, you will be held responsible."

"Yes, Miss!"

The servants responded in unison, their attitude extremely respectful.

After arranging everything, Xia Youran turned her head and glanced at Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li.

With a touch of sincerity, I extend this invitation:

"Since you're in Jiuling City, why not stay a few more days? It would be good for me, as your senior, to show you some hospitality."

Seemingly afraid the two would refuse, she added, a mysterious glint in her eyes:

"Moreover, our Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce will be holding an auction tomorrow, where many rare and valuable items will be available."

Bing Tianxiao did not agree immediately, but turned to look at Luo Li beside him.

Luo Li nodded slightly; she had no objections.

Seeing this, Bing Tianxiao grinned, turned his head, and nodded to Xia Youran:

"Since you've extended such a warm invitation, and there's so much to see, we won't stand on ceremony."

"I'd also like to see just how extravagant the Nine Xia Chamber of Commerce auction, which shakes the Northern Cang Continent, really is."

"Then it's settled."

Xia Youran smiled sweetly, and the charm that bloomed in that instant captivated many of the onlookers.

"Please, both of you."

Amidst countless envious, jealous, and hateful gazes, Bing Tianxiao pulled Luo Li along, following this stunningly beautiful senior.

They swaggered into the heart of Jiuling City.

Night falls.

Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li enjoyed a sumptuous dinner in a top-tier courtyard meticulously arranged by the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce.

After a quick bite, the two parted ways.

Bing Tianxiao returned to his room and casually set up a spiritual energy barrier to prevent anyone from probing him.

Then he sat cross-legged on the warm jade bed.

He flipped his hand, and a jade bottle radiating an astonishingly cold aura appeared in his palm.

Gently open the bottle cap, and you'll find pills, each a deep, icy blue color, lying quietly inside.

It was his grandfather who gave him the Nine-Turn Cold Soul Pill for cultivating to the Transformation Realm!

"This is really good stuff..."

Without the slightest hesitation, Bing Tianxiao opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.

boom!

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a terrifying torrent of extreme cold that raged wildly throughout the body.

The chill was so intense, it was as if ancient ice had exploded inside his body, even though Bing Tianxiao was already used to the cold.

At that moment, he couldn't help but tremble, and his eyebrows and hair instantly formed a thick layer of white frost.

But he did not panic. Instead, he took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and activated his internal energy.

"Refine it for me!"

With his low shout, the originally violent cold current in his body began to be guided and compressed little by little.

Ultimately, it transformed into the purest ice-attribute spiritual power, continuously flowing into his limbs and bones.
