"It's so comfortable, it's been a long time since I've slept so sweetly. Bing Xuan muttered and stretched, and slowly opened his eyes.

"It's so cold!" Bing Xuan immediately found himself still lying on the cold ice bed, and hurriedly jumped off the ice bed.

"Child, are you awake?" said the old village chief, smiling as he looked at him.

"Grandpa Gu, isn't this still an illusion?" Bing Xuan asked in disbelief as he looked at the amiable village chief.

"As I said, child, after you fall asleep, I will place a small object on you, so that you can tell whether you are back to reality or not. Of course, you who have fallen asleep will not know what I have placed. If I were an illusion in your consciousness, I wouldn't know what you have in you now, would I?" Grandpa Gu chuckled.

"Yes, if you are my consciousness illusion, something I don't know, you certainly won't know. Bing Xuan nodded and said.

"Kid, look at your underwear pocket, there's a dart I put in at the beginning, can you see if it's or isn't?" Grandpa Gu said, pointing to the position of Bingxuan's right pocket.

Bing Xuan lifted his coat, took his little hand into his underwear pocket, and gently took out an object, and sure enough, it was an iron dart.

"Haha, I'm back. Bing Xuan cheered.

"Child, you have been awakened for seven days. It's been so many years, and our people haven't had such a complete awakening. Hurry up and check it, has there been any changes in your body?" said the old village chief excitedly.

Bing Xuan sat cross-legged on the ice bed again, although he could still feel the cold of the ice bed, but he didn't have the extremely cold breath that penetrated his bones before the awakening ceremony.

Bing Xuan's consciousness returned to his own spiritual world, which was as quiet as before, and the blue crystals that were originally suspended in the middle of the sky had now turned into transparent ice crystals. Bing Xuan finally let go of the worries in his heart. It seems that the dragon did not damage its own crystal. He tried to absorb the water elemental molecules from the outside world and integrate them into the crystal, but the crystal was now only fused with the ice element, and the nearby water element was also disintegrated into the ice element. However, the water element that Bing Xuan forcibly gathered could not enter the crystal at all.

"Is this happening? Inexplicably turned the water attribute into an ice attribute?" Bing Xuan woke up from his state of meditation and muttered indistinctly.

"Child, has there also been a crystal in your spiritual world?" the old village chief asked eagerly.

"Yes, Grandpa Gu, how do you know?" Bing Xuan said in a daze.

"Haha, good, good, good. And sure enough, it worked. We have hope again, our ancestors willing. The ecstatic old village chief paid his respects with his hands folded.

"Grandpa Gu, what's wrong? Can you explain it to me? Bing Xuan looked at the almost crazy old village chief suspiciously.

"Okay, kid, let me tell you where this crystal came from. After the old village chief finished paying his respects, he put his arm around Bingxuan's shoulders and walked to the stone table in the center, found two stone benches, and the two of them sat down.

"This crystal, which is unique to our people, is called 'Crystal' by us. It is the root of all laws for our people. As you know, the techniques used by human beings require their own strong spiritual power to rely on. The spiritual power is released, guiding the elements that make up the spell, and with the blessing of this ancient spell, the elements are arranged in an orderly manner, and then the required spell is formed to achieve the purpose of attack or defense. And our crystals can store the elements they need in their spare time, and because they are in the interior of the spiritual world, all the elements that enter the crystals have already been matched with the spiritual power, so when they are used, they can be controlled more easily, and even instantaneous spells can be achieved. The only drawback is that we can only use a single spell, and due to the existence of the crystal center, in addition to the elements that form the crystal center, the spiritual power's perception of the other elements is also significantly reduced. Therefore, everything has advantages and disadvantages. However, the benefits of Andes clearly outweigh the disadvantages, and it is enough for our people to cope with the sudden battle. The old village chief explained to Bing Xuan in detail.

"I see. Bing Xuan nodded consciously.

"Child, it is extremely difficult to form an apex, so every year our clan participates in the awakening ceremony, and less than one in ten succeeds. In the future, unless you encounter a critical moment involving life and death, do not easily damage the crystal heart. Once the heart of the crystal is broken, it can make you exert several times more power than your own ability, but the terrible consequences will also require you to bear for the rest of your life. Since ancient times, those who destroy the crystal heart have become fools, and the light ones can no longer use magic and become ordinary people. Even if you want to change to martial arts, you won't achieve anything. The old village chief solemnly admonished Bing Xuan.

"Grandpa Gu, I will take good care of my crystal heart. Bing Xuan nodded vigorously and said.

"Good boy, now that you have formed a crystal heart, your primary purpose now is to increase the upper limit of your spiritual power, you may have discovered that the number of elements that can be contained in the crystal heart has a crucial relationship with the strength of your spiritual power, so in the future, your cultivation focus should be placed on the cultivation of spiritual power. The old village chief said.

"Yes, my crystal heart was already full at the beginning, and then I compressed the elements and changed the form, which did free up more space, but the consumption of spiritual power was very huge, and now my spiritual power is obviously not enough to compress the elements. It's really hard to go any further. Bing Xuan spoke in detail about his feelings.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to reach this level on your own. It's really the protection of the ancestors. Hearing Bing Xuan's narration, the old village chief's eyes lit up, and his expression was even more excited than before.

"Grandpa Gu, isn't this wrong?" Bing Xuan looked at the old village chief suspiciously.

"Yes, kid, that's the right thing to do. You are indeed the hope of our people. Originally, in the subsequent study, there will be your magic master to teach you, but I didn't expect you to complete it first. There is hope for our future, hahaha!" the old village chief laughed heartily.

"Magic Instructor, don't I have to follow Instructor Lu to continue training?" Bing Xuan asked.

"Of course, Instructor Lu is teaching the path of martial arts, and now that you have the heart of crystal, why bother learning that martial art that has little effect. Your path is the way of magic. Only those children who failed in the awakening ritual had to switch to martial arts. You go back and rest for a day, and the day after tomorrow, I will arrange a new study plan for you. The old village chief said, stood up, and led Bing Xuan towards the secret room.

"Grandpa Gu, how many of us have passed this awakening?" Bing Xuan looked at the secret room where there was no one else, and asked the doubts in his heart.

"This time, only two of you have condensed the crystal heart. In addition to you, the other one is Yue'er's girl. However, her crystal heart is fused with the element of water. By the way, I forgot to ask you, what kind of element is your crystal fused with?" asked the old village chief as he walked.

"I was also a water elemental, but then I passed out and didn't know what happened, and when I woke up, the crystal heart could not merge with the water element, and instead became the abode of the ice elemental. Bing Xuan touched his head and said.

"Well, as I expected, as long as you can condense the crystal core, you must also be ice attribute. The old village chief nodded and said.

"Is there any inevitability in this?" Bing Xuan asked.

"Alright, son, go home and see your mother, after all, you have been here for seven days, and your magician will slowly teach you the rest of the knowledge. The old village chief who walked out of the secret passage stroked Bingxuan's head and said.
