"Have you figured out who took the jade token?"

"The people from the Shadow Organization said it was a Divine Weapon Pavilion disciple named Lu Yu who killed the thief Huang, and the jade token is most likely on him."

"Divine Weapon Pavilion disciple? He must have gone after the thief due to the incident with the Huang Feng bandit group a year ago. Find him, and if possible, acquire the jade token from him through a trade, so as not to attract the attention of the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"If he doesn't cooperate, deal with him."

"Alright! I'll see if there's a chance, I'm off now."

...

Looking at the Frost Branch Blazing Flower before him, Lu Yu felt his approach must be wrong, which is why he hadn't made any progress.

His master advised him to carefully comprehend the balance of Spiritual Qi within the Frost Branch Blazing Flower. Just observing wasn't revealing anything; perhaps he needed to understand its internals.

Besides comprehending the conversion of ice and fire Spiritual Power within the Frost Branch Blazing Flower and actively balancing the ice and fire Spiritual Power within him, there was a simpler way — completing the cultivation of the Ice-Fire Bipolar Body.

Once the Ice-Fire Bipolar Body cultivation was complete, he would be able to freely convert ice and fire Spiritual Power, avoiding any conflicts between them.

However, Lu Yu's current problem was, he didn't know how to cultivate the Ice-Fire Bipolar Body. The transformation of the Spirit Body by absorbing fire and ice Spiritual Qi was something he explored on his own.

Without guidance from predecessors, he needed to explore the conditions for cultivating the Ice-Fire Bipolar Body himself.

Perhaps by understanding the conversion between ice and fire Spiritual Power, Lu Yu could discover the conditions for cultivating the Ice-Fire Bipolar Body.

Lu Yu picked up the Frost Branch Blazing Flower, holding the ice crystal with his left hand and placing his right hand on the blazing flower, starting to infuse ice Spiritual Qi into it.

After reaching the unparalleled realm of the Fierce Tiger Fist technique, Lu Yu finally was able to control the Spiritual Qi within his body.

Complex manipulations like channeling Spiritual Qi through specific meridians to perform martial arts, using it to expel demonic energy from a mortal's body, or distributing Spiritual Qi across the body surface to form a protective shield... Lu Yu was not yet capable of such sophisticated Qi manipulations.

But simple releasing and retracting of Spiritual Qi, Lu Yu could already control.

By infusing a large amount of ice Spiritual Qi into the ice crystal, Lu Yu sensed changes within the Frost Branch Blazing Flower, amplifying his senses akin to observing the internal Qi changes with a magnifying glass.

Through infusing his ice Spiritual Qi, he amplified the fluctuations of Qi within the Frost Branch Blazing Flower, perceiving subtle changes, but just as he intended to probe deeper, the fluctuation abruptly vanished.

The Frost Branch Blazing Flower had been destroyed by an excess of ice Spiritual Qi, turning the blazing flower into a cluster of ice flowers.

Discovering his method was effective, Lu Yu opened the store and purchased a large amount of Frost Branch Blazing Flower from the system store to comprehend the mysteries of the balance between ice and fire Spiritual Qi.

Each Frost Branch Blazing Flower costs 50,000 Points, which was trivial compared to the tens of millions of Points Lu Yu possessed.

However, the consumption rate of Frost Branch Blazing Flower was too rapid; Lu Yu was consuming them at nearly a rate of one per minute, causing his Points balance to drain like running water.

Li Qiuyang gave Lu Yu the Frost Branch Blazing Flowers intending for him to take his time comprehending the balance of ice and fire Spiritual Qi within them, but did not expect Lu Yu to accelerate his comprehension process in this cost-ignorant manner.

The occurrence of this situation was related to his master's unclear explanation.

Li Qiuyang sensed the conflict of ice and fire Spiritual Qi within Lu Yu and reckoned that Lu Yu had half a year to resolve the issue, hence he instructed him to spend time understanding the balance of Spiritual Qi within the Frost Branch Blazing Flower.

However, Lu Yu believed that the explosion resulting in death as mentioned by his master would happen soon, so he was eager to resolve the balance issue within his body.

Li Qiuyang underestimated Lu Yu's growth speed. If Lu Yu truly took the half year as Li Qiuyang intended to comprehend the balance of powers within the Frost Branch Blazing Flower, he would die a terrible death.

The room was filled with the corpses of Frost Branch Blazing Flowers destroyed by Spiritual Qi. The flowers destroyed by ice Spiritual Qi turned into ice clusters, while those destroyed by fire Spiritual Qi turned into black coal.

By continually comprehending the transformation process of the two opposing attribute Spiritual Qi within the Frost Branch Blazing Flower, Lu Yu gradually realized the transformation patterns of ice and fire Spiritual Qi within the flower.

The ice and fire Spiritual Qi circulated perpetually within the Frost Branch Blazing Flower, always maintaining a dynamic balance. When the fire Spiritual Qi was excessive, some of it immediately transformed into ice Spiritual Qi to maintain their relative balance; the same applied to the ice Spiritual Qi.

After comprehending the secret of balance within the Frost Branch Blazing Flower's internal Qi, Lu Yu conceived a structure in his mind to help balance the operation of his ice and fire Spiritual Qi.

Using his left and right hands as the experiment area, he placed his hands oppositely without touching, leaving a narrow gap between, allowing the internal Qi to briefly manifest externally, significantly enhancing safety during experiments.

Compared to directly altering the Qi circulation structure within his body, this method greatly reduced risk, ensuring that even if the experiment failed, only his hands would be harmed, unlike internal injuries which would be more troublesome to handle.

Lu Yu incessantly restructured the operation pattern of the two types of Qi. Initially, he dispersed and alternated the ice and fire Spiritual Qi to form a closed loop, maintaining the balance of the two Qi.

At first, this idea was successful. In static balance, the pressure on both types of Qi was roughly equal, maintaining a stable operation state.

But once the Qi was activated, causing the front and back pressure of the two Qi to become unequal, the entire cycle rapidly collapsed, nearly causing Lu Yu's hands to be injured by an explosion induced by the ice and fire Qi, fortunately, he used only a minimal amount of Qi for the experiment.

The two opposite-natured Qi, when out of balance, can explode; Lu Yu memorized this knowledge.

Realizing that the alternating formation of ice and fire Qi into the ring couldn't ensure balance during Qi activation, Lu Yu had to try other structures.

He drew all conceivable symmetrical balance structures on paper, then eliminated those too complex or difficult, choosing simpler symmetric structures for trials.

After an entire night of pondering, experimenting, summarizing, improving, and refining, Lu Yu finally found a balance structure before dawn — an uneven non-closed ice-fire Spiritual Power balance structure.

Lu Yu drew inspiration from the Yin-Yang fish pattern of the Taoist symbol, shaping ice and fire Qi into a Yin-Yang fish form with a large head and small tail, this was an uneven distribution of Qi, concentrating the major ice and fire Qi in the head of the circle, extending a progressively thinner tail behind.

The non-closed form means the two ice-fire Yin-Yang fish didn't touch, leaving a certain distance between, analogous to a snake endlessly trying to catch its tail but never succeeding.

The fire Qi forming a fire fish chased the tail of the ice fish, and the ice Qi forming an ice fish pursued the tail of the fire fish, without contact between them.

Through Lu Yu's tests, this structure stabilized regardless of the consumption of ice Qi or fire Qi, avoiding the previous conflict situation.

Excessive fire Qi consumption caused the fire fish to shrink and accelerate, swallowing the front ice fish's tail to regain balance until the operation speed of the two Qi equaled.

Conversely, the ice fish would also consume the fire fish's tail to strengthen itself for balance.

The premise of devouring conversion is that the devouring side is stronger than the devoured side, and the large head small tail structure precisely satisfies this condition, guaranteeing mutual conversion between the two Qi.

After succeeding in external experiments, Lu Yu cautiously altered the form of ice-fire Qi internally to form two blue-red Yin-Yang fish, gently operating inside.

He explored the distance between the two Yin-Yang fish, ensuring an appropriate distance so when one grew weaker, it wouldn't fail to convert the Qi on the tail and collide with another Yin-Yang fish, triggering a massive explosion.

Before lunch, Lu Yu successfully formed ice-fire Yin-Yang fish within his body. After formation, the operation speed of the Ice-Fire Seventh Heaven cultivation technique increased significantly, meaning Lu Yu's strength grew much faster.

Currently, the Ice-Fire Seventh Heaven was Lu Yu's main cultivation technique, and its effect determined the rate at which Lu Yu grew stronger.

The Ice-Fire Seventh Heaven is a ninth-grade spiritual technique, and even if Lu Yu had millions of Points, he couldn't purchase a technique in the store comparable to the Ice-Fire Seventh Heaven; he lacked both the money and the strength.

Many items in the store have purchasing conditions, the most common being level restrictions. Without sufficient level, even more advanced items can't be seen.
