Ice God Tower.
"The scent of the Ice-Snow Goddess Stone again? After so many years, it has reappeared again. This time, I won't let you escape from my grasp. Whoever holds the Ice-Snow Goddess Stone has offended the dignity of the Ice-Snow Goddess. There's only one possible outcome, death."
The grand Ice-Snow Goddess sacrifice, Divine Convergence Instructor - the Ice-Snow Goddess, quietly left the Ice God Tower, embarking alone on her journey to find the Ice-Snow Goddess Stone.

After using the Blizzard once, Nian Bing reduced his journey's duration significantly. By the time he touched the ground, his sorrowful feelings had calmed somewhat within the cold magic. From afar, the towering walls of Bing Xue City came into sight. Throughout the years, he visited annually for various purchases, but apart from his first visit to meet Divine Master Hua Tian, he and Cha Ji only lingered near the North City Gate to buy necessities before returning promptly to Peach Blossom Forest.
This time was different. There was no road to return to. Nian Bing took a deep breath, stepping steadfastly towards Bing Xue City.
As always, entering the city was easy. Soon he was walking through the city, the scenery on both sides familiar yet different due to some shops changing owners. His master had told him to find Ancestor Hua Tian first, and so he would. Now possessing the Righteous Sun Knife with fire attribute, perhaps his Fire God Stone could be inlaid into it. If so, he would command two Unparalleled Divine Knives, facilitating his cooking in the future.
While contemplating, Nian Bing headed toward the Water and Fire Ironware Shop, relying on his previous memory. His last trip was made in darkness, weaving through streets and alleyways, making this a challenging search. After a whole morning went by, he couldn't find the exact location.
Suddenly, he remembered seeing a large weapons shop during his last visit, seemingly named Treasure Instrument Pavilion. If he found that place, he might find the Second-Hand Ironware Shop. While the Second-Hand Ironware Shop might be unknown, people would surely know about the large Weapon store – Treasure Instrument Pavilion. With this in mind, he moved quickly. As expected, after asking a few people, he finally found the accurate location. As he reached the previously seen Treasure Instrument Pavilion, his memory cleared up about the location. He picked up his pace, twisting and turning, quickly finding his destination.
The door was as dilapidated as it was seven years prior, no changes at all. Even the sign was still there, just covered in a bit more dust. Nian Bing recalled the appearance of Hua Tian, a small smile gracing his face. He knocked on the door a few times, loudly inquiring, "Ancestor Hua Tian, are you in?"
There was no movement inside. Nian Bing waited for a while before calling again. Just when he thought there was no one inside, the broken-down door opened suddenly. A pretty face peered out from behind, "Are you, are you looking for my master?"
Nian Bing could swear that this was the most wonderful voice he had ever heard. She was a girl, seemingly around his age. As she leaned out, her long, pink hair hung loosely. Her large blue eyes expressed surprise and shyness, seeming a bit frightened as she looked at him.

Admittedly, this chapter is a bit short, but for the sake of neatness, it will remain as it is. This is the last chapter of the first book. Owing to the prologue, it has influenced the length of the final chapter. This situation will not occur in the future. We hope for your understanding, thank you.
