After an unknown amount of time, Lu Daosheng returned to the Desolate City Lord's Mansion.
"These should be enough for Lu Xue's Physique Bloodline Awakening," Lu Daosheng nodded and immediately began preparations.
First, he had to fashion the innate profound ice jade he obtained from the System Store.
A massive block of innate profound ice jade appeared before Lu Daosheng, easily larger than he was.
innate profound ice jade is an extremely precious raw material for ice-element Magic Treasures.
Generally, if a piece of innate profound ice jade, even as small as a thumbnail, is added to certain ice-element Magic Treasures, the ice power of that Magic Treasure will increase exponentially.
Therefore, when crafting ice-element Magic Treasures, innate profound ice jade primarily serves as an auxiliary material, as it is very rare, and there isn't enough to use as a primary material.
But now, Lu Daosheng had a piece larger than a person.
This was still just one piece Lu Daosheng bought from the System Store; if he bought more, he could probably build an entire city with it.
At this point, Lu Daosheng began to work.
When others forge Magic Treasures or weapons, they use a forging furnace, but Lu Daosheng used his bare hands, not even a hammer.
As Lu Daosheng gradually exerted his strength, the massive block of innate profound ice jade began to transform.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
A moment later, a large tub appeared before Lu Daosheng.
That's right, Lu Daosheng used this innate profound ice jade to create a large tub.
"Hmm, not bad, but it seems to be missing something."
Then Lu Daosheng gently waved his hand, and a spirit was born from within the Profound Ice Jade tub.
Hand-point spirit!
Boom!
Instantly, a chilling aura surged from within the tub.
At the same time, the temperature of the entire Huang City inexplicably dropped by several degrees.
Seeing this, Lu Daosheng quickly waved his hand to block the aura.
Touching the large tub crafted from innate profound ice jade, Lu Daosheng nodded in satisfaction.
"Lu Xue should be very comfortable taking a bath in this."
Then, Lu Daosheng took out several hundred bottles of creation nectar and poured them all into the tub.
Soon, the large tub was filled with creation nectar.
Just then, in a room filled with a maiden's aura in the Lord City Master's Mansion, Lu Xue was cultivating cross-legged on the floor when Lu Daosheng's voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
"Lu Xue, come here."
"Father?"
Lu Xue opened her eyes in surprise and looked around.
After a moment of silence, Lu Xue headed towards Lu Daosheng's room.
Inside Lu Daosheng's room.
With a creak.
"Father, did you call me?"
Lu Xue pushed the door open and immediately felt a bone-chilling cold.
Looking at the ice-like and jade-like bathtub before her, Lu Xue was stunned.
"Father, where did you find such a strange bathtub?"
Beside her, Lu Daosheng smiled slightly and said, "Lu Xue, this is something Father prepared for you. Hurry and take off your clothes and get in."
Hearing this, Lu Xue looked a little puzzled.
"Father, did you call me just to have me take a bath?"
Lu Daosheng nodded and said, "Lu Xue, your talent is not low. This can activate the talent within your body, and then your Cultivation speed will greatly increase."
Hearing this, Lu Xue's expression brightened.
"Really? That's great."
But then Lu Xue lowered her head again.
Seeing this, Lu Daosheng's heart skipped a beat. "Lu Xue, what's wrong?"
Lu Xue slowly said, "Father, are you hiding something from me?"
During this time, Lu Daosheng had changed a lot.
As his daughter, how could she not see it?
Something must have happened to her Father.
But now, Father was hiding it from her, which made her very uncomfortable.
Hearing Lu Xue's words, Lu Daosheng paused, then after a moment of silence, he said, "Lu Xue, there are indeed some things Father hasn't told you."
"How about this, you take your bath first, and once you've finished and activated the talent within your body, Father will tell you."
Hearing this, Lu Xue nodded and said, "Okay, Father, you said it, don't lie to me."
"Of course, when has Father ever lied to you?"
Then Lu Daosheng gave a few instructions, telling her not to leave the Profound Ice Jade tub, and then directly went out the door to wait outside.
He certainly had to stay by Lu Xue's side, but his daughter was already so grown up, so he naturally couldn't stay by her side while she bathed.
However, for a strong person like him, a door made no difference.
A moment later, Lu Xue plunged into the Profound Ice Jade tub with a splash.
At the same time, Lu Daosheng outside the door began to activate the Profound Ice Jade tub.
Sensing Lu Daosheng's command, the Profound Ice Jade tub immediately emitted a terrifying coldness.
At this moment, Lu Xue, who had just entered the Profound Ice Jade tub, had a drastic change in expression. The creation nectar began to continuously bombard every part of her body, and an unimaginably rich energy surged directly into her body through her skin.
creation nectar, even a single drop, can change a person's destiny.
Once consumed, it will greatly enhance the consumer's Physique talent.
And now, Lu Xue was using creation nectar to bathe.
If the strong cultivators outside knew about this, they would probably be so angry they'd vomit blood.
Feeling the unusual changes within her body, Lu Xue immediately sat down cross-legged in a panic, frantically suppressing the turmoil within her body.
But even so, Lu Xue's Cultivation began to surge wildly.
Qi Refinement Stage Sixth Layer.
Qi Refinement Stage Seventh Layer.
Qi Refinement Stage Eighth Layer.
...
Lu Xue's Cultivation growth did not stop until she effortlessly Broke Through to the Innate Realm.
Finally, Lu Xue's Cultivation reached the Peak of the Spirit Master Realm.
Before she could even react, Lu Xue felt another anomaly.
Cold, very cold, extremely cold.
Logically speaking, cultivators generally aren't afraid of cold, let alone her, who was already at the Spirit Master Realm. But now, she was shivering from the cold.
"Father!"
Feeling the temperature dropping lower and lower, Lu Xue finally couldn't help but call out for her Father.
Outside the door, seeing his daughter's pained expression, Lu Daosheng was heartbroken, but he still said, "Lu Xue, bear with it. As long as you persevere, you will never be afraid of the cold again."
Hearing Lu Daosheng's words, Lu Xue nodded, but her expression remained pained, and she continued to shiver uncontrollably.
Bone-chilling cold constantly invaded Lu Xue's entire body.
"I, I can't take it anymore, Father, I really can't,"
Lu Xue's mouth was exhaling cold air, the tears flowing down her cheeks immediately turned into ice crystals, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing Lu Xue in such a state, Lu Daosheng's heart was breaking.
He, who usually doted on his daughter, couldn't bear to watch, and was about to push the door open and pick Lu Xue up.
Just then, a figure appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
"Lord City Master!"
Ancient Dust stood in front of Lu Daosheng and said to him.
"Lord City Master, Lu Xue will be fine. The reason she is like this is because her Physique has entered a critical moment of Awakening. If she gives up now, she will never Awaken again. Do you want to protect her for her entire life?"
Hearing this, Lu Daosheng immediately calmed down.
He knew all this, but seeing his daughter's painful appearance, how could he, as a father, bear it?
At worst, he would protect her for her entire life.
Could he not do that with his current strength?
Just then, Lu Xue's voice came from inside the room again.
"Father, I, I'll endure a little longer. I, I can, can do it."
She had also heard Ancient Dust's words. What Father had prepared must not have been easy, and she couldn't let Father down.
It was just cold, at worst, she would freeze to death.
Looking at Lu Xue's sensible appearance, Lu Daosheng's eyes were slightly red, and he muttered, "As expected of my Lu Daosheng's daughter."
Then, hardening his heart, he directly turned his head away, no longer looking.
As if thinking of something, Lu Daosheng pulled Ancient Dust to his side as well.
