Time swiftly passes, and before one knows it, five years have gone by.
Ning Daoran spent those years studying the Nascent Soul of the Bone-Eroding Old Demon, repeatedly using the Soul Searching Technique and penetrating the Divine Soul, giving the Old Demon a sensation worse than death; he almost wished he had never existed.
Regrettably, there was still no significant breakthrough in Ice Spiritual Power. Though Ning Daoran had Mixed Spirit Roots, his sensitivity to Ice Spiritual Power was not strong, and any real progress might only be achieved after many years.
Fortunately, he was immensely patient. This did not trouble him; he could live for several thousand years and had plenty of time to persevere.
This year, at the age of 360, Ning Daoran still appeared as a fresh-faced youth, unchanged.
"Master."
Little Bai floated into the Cave Mansion and reported, "Xu Zhongyao is about to come out of seclusion."
"Hmm."
Ning Daoran nodded.
