After answering everyone's questions, it was already 11 PM. Li Qiuyang asked Lu Yu to stay behind after others had left.

Looking at the lecture hall with only himself left, Lu Yu was a bit puzzled. Why did Master want him to stay alone?

Li Qiuyang glanced at Lu Yu and said, "Your current situation is very dangerous."

Lu Yu showed a look of surprise on his face, not understanding what danger he was referring to.

Could it be the matter of him not feeling the Heavenly Dao's pressure?

"The two conflicting forces within you have only temporarily reached a balance." Hearing his master's words, Lu Yu slightly relaxed. It's not an issue with the Heavenly Dao's pressure, that's good. But hearing that there was a problem with the ice and fire Spiritual Qi again, his heart couldn't help but tense up.

Without waiting for Lu Yu to ask for the reason, Li Qiuyang continued, "You're currently relying on your Qi Blood to forcibly suppress the two forces. As the Spiritual Qi within you increases, when the Qi Blood can no longer suppress the two forces, there's a high chance you will explode and die."

When Lu Yu heard that he might explode and die, his heart raced with fear. He thought he had solved the balance between the ice Spirit Body and the fire Spirit Body, but he didn't realize he was always walking on the edge of death.

He respectfully saluted Li Qiuyang, begging for a solution from his master.

"There are two methods." Li Qiuyang looked at Lu Yu and said, "The first path is to abandon one of the forces, strengthening the other force within you, and expelling the conflicting force from your body."

After speaking, he paused for a moment and then continued, "Three days ago, you didn't have that icy force within you. You must have cultivated some special Cultivation Technique; the second path is more suitable for you."

"Find a way for the two forces to coexist, or rather, a way for them to transform into each other. As long as the two forces within you can transform into each other, you'll naturally achieve a perfect balance state."

"Sometimes, dynamic balance is much more stable than static balance."

Li Qiuyang produced a strange plant in his hand, its corolla fiery red like burning flames, with black branches and roots wrapped around a white crystal stone emitting cold air.

"Ice Branch Blazing Flower, a strange plant growing on the ice fields, often planted indoors by the Northern Ice People Race for warmth."

"The Ice Branch Blazing Flower possesses two opposing attributes but can achieve a delicate balance, surviving long term on the ice fields. Take it and comprehend the flow of power within it, find the method of power transformation."

Li Qiuyang handed the Ice Branch Blazing Flower to Lu Yu. Lu Yu carefully took it, discovering that this flower was very peculiar, with cold air emanating from the icy crystal stone below, yet heat spreading from the flower bud above.

"I haven't researched much on the method of power transformation, so all I can offer you is this much help. If you really can't find a transformation method, you can also ask me to help remove the forces within you."

"Thank you for the teachings, Master." Lu Yu felt a deep sense of respect for his master from his heart.

After all, he and his master had only known each other for three days and had met only twice. It was already very rare that his master was willing to help him without reservation. Lu Yu felt gratitude towards his master from the bottom of his heart.

After leaving his master's cave, Lu Yu returned to the bamboo cabin, activated the Micro Light Array inside using a Spirit Stone, and the cabin was illuminated.

Compared to electric lights, the light from the Micro Light Array was more uniform, without dead spots, and didn't hurt the eyes, though it consumed quite a bit. Only wealthier Martial Cultivators could afford it.

The Micro Light Array consumed 2 points of Spiritual Qi per hour, and a Spirit Stone could support the array for 50 hours of operation.

Lu Yu sat on the bed, holding the Ice Branch Blazing Flower in his hands, calming his mind and focusing his attention to feel the flow and changes of Spiritual Qi inside it, comprehending how the ice and fire Spiritual Qi within the flower achieved a transformation balance.

Another sleepless night passed. The next day, when Lu Yu stepped out of his room, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mind was foggy.

After observing and feeling for an entire night, he still couldn't grasp the transformation rule of the ice and fire Spiritual Qi within the Ice Branch Blazing Flower.

After staying up for two nights in a row, with high concentration needed both days, even though Lu Yu's physical constitution was comparable to a Martial Cultivator at the third stage of Qi Cultivation, he felt a bit exhausted.

After having a luxurious vitality replenishing breakfast in Heaven-Breaking City, he returned to his cabin to rest and recharge, ready for another battle the next day.

Beep beep beep~

[JiangHu Communications No. 77 (Communication Talisman): Have you finished refining the Spirit Weapon?]

The system notification woke Lu Yu. Seeing the sun hadn't risen to its peak, he casually bought a Communication Talisman and replied, "Wait a minute, I'll check. Why so anxious after just two days?"

He wasn't short of money to buy Communication Talismans now and could indulge in long-distance chatting.

Just because Lu Yu wasn't short, didn't mean others weren't.

After seeing Lu Yu's reply, JiangHu Communications No. 77 breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the few remaining Communication Talismans, squeezed his unsatisfactory wallet, and decided not to reply to Lu Yu.

[Grandmaster of Martial Arts (Communication Talisman): It will be ready by this afternoon, around four or five o'clock at the Celestial Immortal Guest.]

No. 77 swiftly replied to the anxious customer after seeing the message.

Lu Yu continued to meditate on the Ice Branch Blazing Flower in his bamboo cabin until a message came through his Identity Token, indicating his commissioned task was completed. He then took the crafted "Frostmourne" to the Celestial Immortal Guest, with the time being 5:30 PM.

"A bit late, but no worries," Lu Yu said after checking the time.

No. 77, upon receiving Frostmourne, immediately contacted the customer, notifying them of the evening delivery, to which the customer expressed satisfaction with the speed, promising a five-star rating if the quality met expectations.

After inspecting the crafted Frostmourne, No. 77 felt confident about receiving a five-star review.

The business of JiangHu Communications primarily catered to players, with an internal evaluation system rewarding its members with more favorable feedback, enhancing their status and benefits.

After placing Frostmourne back into the weapon box, No. 77 sighed, "As expected of the Artifact Refiners from the Divine Weapon Pavilion, taking only three days to craft a high-quality fourth-grade Spirit Weapon. It's unimaginable outside."

At this thought, No. 77 couldn't help but feel resentment towards a certain Artifact Refiner.

That Artifact Refiner was someone he initially found, but later, that Artifact Refiner mingled with JiangHu Communications' higher-ups, ignoring him, a mere underling, which infuriated him whenever he thought about it.

That reputed Artifact Refiner in Beifeng City would take at least half a month to forge a fourth-grade Spirit Weapon, with quality entirely dependent on luck, lacking assurance.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu found it odd, "Three days? Isn't it two days?"

No. 77 glanced at Lu Yu and said, "I'm sure it's three days. Look at the date; last time I gave you the materials was the morning of June 18th, and today is June 21st."

Lu Yu checked and realized it was indeed as he said. With a quick thought, he understood the reason.

He had slept for an entire day, thinking he had only napped briefly, thus messing up the timeline.

Seeing No. 77 eagerly delivering the weapon, Lu Yu curiously asked, "Why is he so anxious to get the Spirit Weapon?"

Then, remembering JiangHu Communications was an organization dealing with information, which usually didn't casually disclose client details, Lu Yu added, "If it's inconvenient, forget it."

No. 77 paused, his expression slightly unusual underneath his black hat, and said, "It's not really significant; the customer has a fight scheduled tonight and felt that using Frostmourne would give more presence and style."

Lu Yu felt a bit speechless upon hearing this, but when he thought about it, it wasn't unexpected for someone inclined to craft a Spirit Weapon in the shape of Frostmourne to have such an idea.

Hmm, a perfectly normal thought.
