"Lower your spiritual qi and let the essence of the snow enter your body. Let it flow through your body to get acquainted with it..."

"Just like that. Let the essence of thunder create space and fill it with the new essence..."

Li Ming followed the directions of the old man as he repeated the steps of the process of how to yield the power of the ice.

For the past few weeks, she had been learning the Ice Cleaving Skill from the Immortal Master.

Ever since a month ago when she became the Master of the Lightning whip, the Immortal Master had started entering her to learn some of his very unique and rare cultivation skills that he had in his possession.

At first, she did her best to deny and stay away from the old man, however, the old man was not in the mood of giving up any time soon.

It was not until the banshee talked with her about the benefits that learning those skills of the old man would be bringing her, that Li Ming finally decided to give in to the old man's pestering.

At least this was what everyone thought when a smiling Li Ming appeared in front of the Immortal Master with an equally happy Kara, and the first one agreed to become the disciple of the Immortal Master for the time being.

"Well done! Just in the past three weeks, you have already succeeded in completing five out of seven total levels of the Ice Cleaving Skill. At this rate, by the end of this month, you will become a young master in using this skill. And as you will keep using it in the future, there will be a day when you will be the most powerful user of Ice Cleaving Skill."

The old man praised her as he beamed at her in happiness.

In the history of the Immortal world, he would be known as the Immortal Master whose all six disciples would be great cultivators of high ranks and would be respected by the people of all the three realms.

This thought was the reason behind the sudden and extreme happiness of the old man.

Li Ming slowly opened her eyes and her vision was immediately filled with the snow-covered ground and tall trees and colorful shrubs that were at their peak and were creating a breathtaking scenery.

"You still remember your promise right?" She asked the old man with a small smile playing on her lips.

Her sparkling eyes, dark purple dress, long black hair, the soft smile that was decorating her rosy lips, and the dark blue forehead pattern, all these things made her look like a Goddess that just descended from the Heavens.

The old man let out a sigh as he shook his head. He took out a scroll from his spatial ring and passed it to Li Ming.

"How could I forget about this? Since you have already passed the fifth level of the Ice Cleaving Skill, now you are the owner of this scroll that is holding one of the most powerful and dangerous spiritual spells in it. I'm sure you will take better care of it."

The old man said as he shook the snow off that was covering his clothes.

He was really impressed by the young girl. Her sight was always placed at something which could be described as impossible by the rest of the Immortal world.

"Sssh...! Your disciples love to eavesdrop. Don't you dare speak about our deal out loud." Li Ming hurriedly reprimanded the old man.

Even though everyone thought that the reason behind her agreement of becoming the disciple of the Immortal Master was the banshee and her pursuing skill, however only the Immortal master and Kara knew about the real reason.

Ever since Li Ming came out of the Forbidden Grounds a month ago after mastering her control over Thunder essence and the Lightning Whip, her mind was set on another mission.

She had created a complete plan to achieve the next goal that she was thinking about completing before her sixteenth birthday.

However, at that time she had no idea that her new mission was one of the hardest ones that she had come across in life.

It was already mid of October month and her birthday was barely at a distance of a few weeks.

And by so far, she had only succeeded in earning the scroll from the Immortal Master, meaning that there was still a long time left before she would be able to complete her new mission.

But as she tried to manage her daily life filled with training sessions, managing her business empire and her mates, there was another important matter that she was struggling with.

The entrance exams of the Guixian Academy were coming closer and she still had a lot to prepare.

The library in Xiao Tiantang and the Immortal Master was her only source of help in her preparation for the exams.

Li Ming shook her head as she tried to bundle up her thoughts and focus on the present.

"Thank you very much, Master, for your generosity. This disciple will take her leave now. Have a nice day, Master." Li Ming smiled softly as she bowed.

She did not waste even a mere second to give the old man any chance to stop her, as her silhouette disappeared from there within a blink.

"Aish! This child is only becoming more and more evil by each passing day." The Old man scoffed as he also took off towards his cabin.

"So, you finally succeeded in getting your hands on the Realms Merging Skill. I'm impressed." The banshee said with a smirk as she plopped down on the bean bag that was resting beside Li Ming's huge mahogany desk where she was currently sitting.

"Yep! But after looking at the technique I finally realized the reason behind your and that old man's stupefied reaction. I get it why you both thought that I'm an idiot for thinking that I can master this skill." Li Ming replied with a sigh.

She closed the scroll and placed it on the table. Her head was aching because of all the research that she had been doing for the past five hours without any break.

At the current moment, she needed coffee and that too as soon as possible.

"What? Already thinking of giving up on the idea of learning it?" The banshee mocked with a sweet smile as she stood and made her way to the coffee maker that was sitting on the opposite side of the office.

In response, Li Ming glared at the back of the banshee's head.

"Nothing like that. I'm damn sure that my plan is the best thing to do for all those who are a part of it. However, it definitely is going to take quite some time before I will be able to accomplish it." Li Ming said as she let out a deep sigh.

"As long as you are not giving up everything will be fine. To be honest, this is the best idea that you have ever come up with in both of your lives. I'm still shocked that you were able to think of something like this." Kara said in a teasing tone as she passed the coffee mug to Li Ming.

The latter just rolled her eyes but decided to not fight with the banshee for the time being. Fighting needed a lot of energy and at that moment she had none.

"But there is another major problem in my plan." Li Ming said as she took a small sip of her coffee.

"And that is?" The banshee asked with raised eyebrows.

"This skill is really a hard one to learn and even harder to master. It won't be easy for me to learn it on my own. But since I'm heading to the Guixian Island, I'm not sure who can help ne with this." Li Ming shared her problem.

"Tsk tsk. It is like I'm the only person in this entire world who has a brain that actually works. Why don't you appoint me as your advisor, Win? After all, I give you mind-blowing ideas." The banshee chirped excitedly as she looked at Li Ming with curious eyes.

"Don't be too excited. I would rather rot in hell than giving a boost to your ego." Li Ming replied with a huff.

The banshee scoffed at the young girl as all the excitement disappeared from her face and she gave Li Ming one of her meanest looks.

"Wait! Do you mean that you have a solution to my problem?" Li Ming suddenly asked as she looked at Kara.

However, looking at the smirk on the banshee's lips, she was sure that it was not going to be easy to make the banshee share her idea.

"Of course. I not only have the solution of this problem of yours but of another one too. However, I'm not in the mood of sharing."

And saying that, the banshee trailed out of the study.

"Damn it!"

Li Ming kept looking at the door of her study as she cursed herself for never being smart enough when it came to Kara.
