Chapter 3.1 - A Chef's Cultivation
Perhaps if Nian Bing continuously cultivated fire magic and entered the realm of intermediate mages, his ice compatible physique might have disappeared as a result of his overpowering fire element. However at this time, Nian Bing had obtained the Ice and Snow Goddess's Stone. As a first rate precious magic stone, the Ice and Snow Goddess's Stone produces breaths of the purest ice element. Wordlessly, it had slowly drawn towards Nian Bing's ice physique. What was originally fire magic power was forced to separate into different halves of his body. Originally, Nian Bing's cultivated fire magic power was not pure, continuously suffering from the influence of his ice physique. When the Ice and Snow Goddess's Stone had appeared, the fire magic power within Nian Bing's body happened to be influenced by it, causing the strengthened ice element to separate from his fire magic power. As a result, regardless of whether it was his ice or fire magic power, they were each separate and extremely pure.
At the age of five, Nian Bing had begun to cultivate magic. Now, five years had past. The number of mages on the Yang Guang Continent were exceedingly rare; this was because the cultivation of a mage was extremely difficult. If a martial practitioner were to informally practice for three years, there would be some degree of achievement. At least they'd be able to attain the level of "Initial Success". But for a mage without a foundation of ten years of meditation, it would be fundamentally impossible to attain the level of an intermediate mage. Even if an intermediate mage were to battle a martial practitioner that had cultivated only three years, the amount of time needed chant is a most terrible disadvantage. That is why those who choose to cultivate magic are very few. Also, those that succeed in joining with the magic elements are even rarer than those that become intermediate mages. However, mages are an essential existence. Although they would be at a disadvantage in a duel, in a battle on the scale of a legion, they are absolutely essential, especially those advanced mages that are capable of casting lethal large area spells. They often transformed an entire battle's situation. That is why even if magic is truly difficult to cultivate, that is all along they had justification for their existence.
Last year, Nian Bing had succeeded in becoming an elementary mage. Although it seemed to Rong Tian that this was quite fast, he did not know that Nian Bing's magic talent was actually extraordinarily outstanding. Were it not for the influence of his ice physique, his progress would have been much faster. But at this moment, under the effects of both the Ice and Snow Goddess's Stone and the Blazing Flame God's Stone, the disadvantage that existed for many years had finally disappeared. Because he was only a elementary mage, regardless of whether it was fire element or water element, neither of them would be very strong. Therefore for the time being, he was able to achieve equilibrium within his body. Although his previous disadvantage had disappeared, a new problem had arose. Ice and fire subdued one another. Nian Bing continued to ponder as such. What kind of situation would occur? Could they continuously exist in harmony? Nian Bing did not know the answer. He also did not know what he should do. It is true that the cultivation of magic is quite difficult. But to think of abandoning a type of magic power within his body was even more difficult. Unless he were to receive the assistance of a mage three ranks higher than his own, he would fundamentally be unable to succeed. But at this moment, where would he go to look for a mage?
Lying flat on the bed, Nian Bing continued to ponder about these questions. The left, cold, the right, warm gave the feeling of unease. However, it hadn't made him feel excessively unwell. What should I do? Continue this kind of meditation? Ice and Fire, these two types of magic power, although they were not much, they felt purely concentrated. Perhaps this was the effect of the two precious stones. Right now, I have no other methods. In order to take revenge, I must have formidable strength. This being the case, I cannot give up cultivating magic, I can only continue. Perhaps if I tread carefully and wait until my magic grows stronger, I could have a way to settle this. Thinking of this, Nian Bing no longer hesitated. Finally after he had begun to separate the fire and ice living his body, he had meditated for the first time. Fire and Ice, these two magic elements, with the aid of the two precious stones, quickly condensed into his body at an amazing speed. Quickly, he fell into a trance.
