Ice Flower Mountain.

The place where Wang Ye and Lin Shuang lived.

Lin Shuang had just finished dealing with matters outside and upon returning to Ice Flower Mountain, she smelled an incredibly rich aroma.

"It smells so good."

Lin Shuang sniffed her nose, and just the scent alone made her feel ravenous.

Upon reaching the Fourth Grade Cultivator's Qi-gathering Period, cultivators didn't need to eat; cultivation alone sufficed.

By their level, ordinary food could no longer offer them significant energy replenishment.

For a true replenishment of their energy, what was needed were medicinal pills containing far greater amounts of energy.

Hence, food with an enticing fragrance was no longer an allure to Lin Shuang.

But at that moment, upon smelling that scent, Lin Shuang felt her appetite surge, and even her steps quickened as she moved forward, eager to catch a glimpse of whatever was giving off such an aroma.

Very soon.

Lin Shuang approached the house she shared with Wang Ye.

Wang Ye was currently grilling a rabbit. Hearing the footsteps, Wang Ye looked up at Lin Shuang and greeted her with a smile, "You're back. I was grilling a rabbit especially for you. Come, have a taste."

A rabbit?

When she heard these two words from Wang Ye's mouth, Lin Shuang abruptly stopped in her tracks, looking at the object in Wang Ye's hands with a hint of astonishment.

Indeed, there was a rabbit, already grilled, skewered on an iron rod.

Lin Shuang took a deep breath.

She recalled when Wang Ye first came to Ice Flower Mountain. He began catching rabbits, and at that time, she thought he merely wanted to use them as practice for himself.

But now it seemed that back then, Wang Ye didn't even know that the rabbits in Ice Flower Mountain were hers.

He just naively wanted to catch rabbits to eat.

She remembered that when she was on Ice Flower Mountain, she would often feed these rabbits the remnants of some precious herbs and talk to them when she was feeling down.

Although Lin Shuang knew that the rabbits couldn't understand, it was still helpful to find an object to vent to and speak out her inner thoughts.

And now.

The rabbits ended up in Wang Ye's hands, becoming grilled rabbits skewered on an iron rod.

Lin Shuang was suddenly at a loss.

Her emotions were complex; she didn't know what she should say.

Blame Wang Ye?

But Wang Ye didn't know, and she never told him.

Moreover, she could tell from Wang Ye's expression that he grilled the rabbits for her.

Seeing Lin Shuang's complex expression and not thinking much of it, Wang Ye still thought she had never smelled such a rich scent of grilled rabbit. He stood up, brought the grilled rabbit to Lin Shuang's lips, and smiled as he said to her:

"Don't just stand there, try the taste."

The grilled rabbit approached her nose, and the fragrance emanating from the rabbit, along with the meat touching Lin Shuang's lips, made her feel somewhat overwhelmed by the rich aroma.

Almost instinctively, out of habit, or perhaps because the grilled rabbit meat was, in all aspects, temptingly irresistible, Lin Shuang couldn't help but slightly open her teeth and take a bite of the meat, slowly chewing it in her mouth.

The rabbit meat, being just right in every aspect, had a greasy yet not cloying taste. When bitten into, the tender rabbit meat exploded in Lin Shuang's mouth with an enticing aroma, making her eyes squint in delight.

She turned her gaze to Wang Ye. At that moment, Lin Shuang no longer felt any urge to complain about Wang Ye; instead, she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so fragrant."

Lin Shuang felt that she had never eaten rabbit meat that tasted so wonderful before.

Her beautiful eyes focused on Wang Ye, observing him closely.

She realized that Wang Ye was like an immortal among men.

Not only did he possess a strong sense of responsibility, but even his culinary skills were impressive.

Lin Shuang thought that if she had Wang Ye by her side when she reached the Qi-gathering Period, constantly cooking for her, she probably wouldn't have been able to go through with it.

After all, Wang Ye's culinary skills were just too incredible.

…

The next day.

Wang Ye was still inside the cave, practicing the Ice Sword Technique.

The Ice Sword in his hand was covered with a frosty layer of ice.

Gleaming with a cold light, the Ice Sword emitted a chilling aura that enveloped the entire cave in an intense coldness.

Before the icicles on the cave's ceiling even had the chance to fall, streams of cold light flowed from Wang Ye's Ice Sword toward them, preemptively shattering the icicles.

"Very good, not bad,"

Upon witnessing Wang Ye's moves, Meng Qian couldn't help but express her admiration, looking at Wang Ye with eyes that grew more satisfied the longer she watched.

It was a pity…

Meng Qian silently sighed.

If only Wang Ye had two hundred, or even just a hundred more years, she felt he would be able to confront the upcoming troubles. But Wang Ye likely only had a few years left.

A few years' time.

No matter how immense Wang Ye's talent was, how excellent it could be, what could he possibly do in just a few years to contend against those monsters who had already been training for hundreds, or even thousands of years?

"The Ice Sword Technique, in your hands, has already been practiced to an impressive level. Your talent is very good, and you are also very diligent,"

Meng Qian briefly commented, then immediately did not belittle Wang Ye, but instead elevated him further, "Now, if we were just using the Ice Sword Technique in a competition, I might not even be a match for you."

Meng Qian's words were factual.

The Ice Sword Technique, although practiced by everyone in the Ice Sect,

was often overlooked by many in the sect due to its basic nature; instead, they focused more attention on other cultivation techniques.

Lin Shuang, listening to Meng Qian's words on the side, was surprised and gaped in astonishment, not expecting Meng Qian to say such things.

"Next, for the first activity this morning, I am going to switch it up for you. Now let's head to the Ice Sect's Treasure Pavilion, and I'll help you pick out a weapon that suits you,"

If an ordinary disciple of the Ice Sect wanted to select a weapon from the Treasure Pavilion, they would need to complete some sect tasks and use points to make the exchange.

But Wang Ye was different.

Wang Ye was the Saint Heir of the Ice Sect.

That meant that in cultivating Wang Ye, whether in terms of resources or all other aspects, he would receive the best.

Naturally, the Ice Sect didn't just look at the purity of one's Ice Attribute.
