Three hours passed.

The thick medicinal liquid turned into clear water again. Obviously, Zhou Shu had absorbed a lot of medicinal power this time.

But at this time, Zhou Shu did not feel comfortable. Instead, he was extremely hot and his body reported fatigue.

"Not enough, not enough..."

Zhou Shu jumped out of the barrel, his expression showing a lot of distress.

The consumption this time is really too great, and a bucket of medicinal liquid is not enough to make up for it. If this continues, we will not be able to break through the realm, and may even fall down.

But he didn't have any other liquid medicine, and no one went out to bring two buckets of liquid medicine.

In addition to fatigue, there was also unbearable heat. His body was like a red-hot iron, the heat was escaping, and the ice around him was constantly melting.

"This is a big problem. If it gets hotter, I'm afraid it will burn to death."

Zhou Shu whispered to himself and looked out of the valley.

The two deep pools of crystal clear water there were simply an irresistible temptation for him who was so hot all over.

When he walked to the deep pool and looked at the snow crocodile in the water, Zhou Shu stopped.

Although they dare not come up, there is no guarantee that they will not attack if Zhou Shu goes down. The snow crocodiles in the water are more than twice as powerful as those on the shore, so this kind of risk cannot be taken.

Fortunately, there was a small pool less than three feet in diameter not far away, and Zhou Shu quickly ran over.

When I walked to the edge, I realized that although the pool was small, it was covered with a layer of ice so thick that I couldn't see the bottom, and the cold air was everywhere.

"That's good. This means that there must be no snow crocodiles down here. If there are monsters active, the ice will not freeze."

Zhou Shu took out the Zhuyun Sword and quickly drew circles on the ice pool.

Wherever the sword light touched, the ice cracked immediately, but unexpectedly, the sword light went straight down a foot, and the water below was not felt yet.

"Is the ice layer too thick? It's weird. The weather here doesn't seem to be able to form such ice. It looks like no one has touched it for hundreds or even thousands of years."

Zhou Shu frowned slightly, but he couldn't bear the heat anymore, so he simply plunged into the ice pool with his sword, using his sword to clear the way.

It was indeed deep, with dozens of feet of ice broken open, and only then did Zhou Shu feel what the water looked like.

"cold!"

The water that has been buried under the ice for nearly a thousand years is probably even colder than the ice.

At this time, the internal heat and external coldness were almost at their extreme. They were intertwined and refused to give way to each other, giving Zhou Shu a feeling that he had never tasted before.

Sometimes the ice is biting and the teeth are clashing. The body seems to be frozen, the limbs are stiff and unable to move.

But in the blink of an eye, the ice was melted by the fire again, and he seemed to be thrown on hot coals. His nose and ears were filled with fire ashes, and he couldn't breathe at all.

Suffering, this is definitely suffering, ten times more uncomfortable than the previous physical training.

However, under this situation, Zhou Shu was still using the physical training method, trying to balance the cold and heat.

He knows very well that the current situation is actually very dangerous. Regardless of whether the hot or cold side is overwhelmed, it is himself who is injured. Therefore, this situation must not happen. He must balance it to produce a beneficial effect for himself.

Facing the double attack, his spiritual power soon ran out, so Zhou Shu took out a low-quality Kaiyang Pill and swallowed it.

A wave of medicinal power rushed down, followed by a turbulent flow of spiritual energy, which quickly spread within the body and dispersed into the sea of ​​​​qi.

Zhou Shu forced himself to hold back the pain, while transforming, while carefully manipulating and guiding them to move on the correct route.

If the power of this medicine is allowed to develop freely, the effect of the medicine will probably be zero.

Carefully guide the power of the medicine without wasting any of it, and at the same time operate your mind. Apart from Zhou Shu, no practitioner other than Zhou Shu can do such a complicated operation.

Don't forget, at this time Zhou Shu also had to face hot and cold attacks from both inside and outside. His perseverance was fully demonstrated at this moment. If it were anyone else, he might not be able to hold on for a few breaths and would just faint and resign himself to fate.

Every breath is as long as a year, and Zhou Shu is constantly controlling his spiritual power, not daring to relax.

More than an hour has passed.

Zhou Shu was lying flat in the cold pool with a peaceful expression.

Seems to be asleep.

If you look carefully, you will find that Zhou Shu is very different at this time from before.

The golden layer on the body has completely disappeared, replaced by a slightly fair and normal skin color, which continuously emits a faint luster in the darkness.

Very strange.

Next to Zhou Shu, there were several strange silver fish swimming.

The little fish was about an inch long, its body was transparent, and its bones were clearly visible. It had no eyes, and it rubbed curiously against Zhou Shu, as if he regarded him as delicious food.

Zhou Shu woke up, opened his eyes, and looked slightly surprised.

Although I was in the ice water, I didn't feel cold at all, and my body felt as warm as spring.

Zhou Shu soon understood that he had reached Ming Liuli. One of the characteristics of Ming Liuli is to isolate the outside temperature. Even if he is in an ice cellar or in a hot desert, his body temperature will not change at all. Of course, it is just simple

It's just temperature, direct fire and cold air cannot be isolated.

In the torment of ice and fire, Zhou Shu successfully broke through the realm of body refining and reached the state of Ming Liuli.

There is only one step left to reach Jade Glaze and build the foundation to generate supernatural powers.

He ran his mental technique over and over, feeling the two quite full seas of Qi, and unconsciously revealed a smile.

His cultivation level has also increased greatly, and the aura of Kaiyang Dan has been completely transformed into a real cultivation level.

It is not far from the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm. If you take another pill, you will definitely be able to reach it.

The originally low-quality Kaiyang Pill never had such a good effect, but under Zhou Shu's control, it was used almost perfectly, and not a single bit was wasted.

"There are more than expected. The environment has a great impact, and the medicinal liquids also play a great role. Of course, the most important thing is the battle with the snow crocodile, the non-stop spiritual power transmission and body refining..."

Indeed, huge consumption often brings fruitful results. It is fair to get what you pay for.

"This is……"

Zhou Shu curiously looked at the whitebait swimming around him, as if he remembered something, and almost exclaimed, "Ice crystal fish!"

Ice crystal fish are very rare spiritual fish. They are born from spiritual energy. They have no father, mother or children. They can only appear in the black ice of thousands of years.

According to the level of monster beasts, it is only one level and does not have much spiritual energy, but its benefit to the cultivator is not spiritual energy, but spiritual consciousness!

Yes, making ice crystal fish into spiritual food can slightly improve a cultivator's spiritual consciousness after eating it. Not much. A hundred ice crystal fish can only increase the spiritual consciousness equivalent to one or two levels of Qi Refining Realm, but even this little bit

, is also a treasure coveted by many cultivators in the world of immortality.

Treasures that enhance spiritual consciousness are really rare.

"Four...five...Since there are ice crystal fish here, they probably have spiritual veins, and there must be many around them."

Zhou Shu put a few ice crystal fish around him into the pool of the spirit beast bag, and then dived down.

There was uncontrollable excitement on his face.

The improvement of spiritual consciousness is more important to him than cultivation.

Much more important.
