"Hmm, when I go, I will leave you some supreme dan beads for sale. Also Slimming Dan and Life Extending Dan... Hmm. I will give it to you before I leave and check how it works on your body," Cha Eun Xiao proposed to Wan Zhenghao, considering the man's weight issues and potential health benefits.

Wan Zhenghao responded earnestly, "Please, Monarch. I will never forget your words."

Cha Eun Xiao then delivered a piece of advice with a stern expression, "Do not darken your conscience ever! Remember this. I may return to see you again in the future."

This became Wan Zhenghao's guiding principle, a promise he adhered to throughout his life.

After concluding the matters at Ling-Bao Hall, Cha Eun Xiao remained preoccupied with Bing-Er's situation. With all other affairs settled, it was the one dilemma that continued to weigh heavily on his mind. As he walked through the streets, Bing-Er accompanied him, sensing his unease but refraining from disturbing his thoughts.

Ultimately, Cha Eun Xiao made a decision. He turned to Bing-Er and said, "Bing-Er, come with me."

Curious, Bing-Er inquired, "Where are we going?"

Cha Eun Xiao replied, "Hmm, let's leave the city." He was prepared to take a risk by revisiting the snow mountain he had previously created. That mountain had been the site of various significant events, including Gu Jinlong's death and Su Yeyue's transformation into a grand master's disciple. Cha Eun Xiao's plan was to cleanse, enlarge, and deepen the ice cave within the mountain, then establish an eternal Spirit Gathering Array. This environment would be ideal for Bing-Er to cultivate.

He had decided to employ this method to boost Bing-Er's cultivation. Despite its potential risks, time was of the essence. Once her cultivation reached a certain level, he could use Nine Turns Heart Dan to propel her to the top level. Cha Eun Xiao was willing to exhaust all his resources to ensure her success, knowing that he could always rebuild his wealth once they reached Qing-Yun Realm.

To avoid interruptions and distractions, the ice cave was the best location for Bing-Er's concentrated cultivation. He spent time preparing the site to ensure her safety and focus.

Riding on horseback, they left the city. Cha Eun Xiao thanked the gate guards and swiftly departed. On the ice mountain, he began the preparations for Bing-Er's cultivation.

Bing-Er, curious about his sense of urgency, asked, "Why are we in such a hurry, Master?"

Cha Eun Xiao explained, "We don't have much time left. We have more than half a year..." While he spoke, he remained occupied with his work, setting up an array to support Bing-Er's cultivation.

Time continued to pass, and two days elapsed.

Cha Eun Xiao perched atop the mountain, his keen eyes scanning the surroundings within a ten-mile radius. Not even the birds dared to venture into this controlled space. It was an intense moment as Bing-Er was on the brink of breaking into the ninth level of Earth Origin Stage. This breakthrough would signify her ascension to the coveted Sky Origin Stage.

The rapid progress achieved by Bing-Er both surprised and invigorated Cha Eun Xiao. Her swift advancement, aided by the dan beads and the power of the array, filled him with hope. He had previously considered such progress to be a risk, akin to pulling a seedling to promote its growth. However, her remarkable two-level breakthrough in just two days showed him that reaching the pinnacle of Sky Origin Stage within half a year was a feasible goal.

This newfound enthusiasm fueled Cha Eun Xiao. In the span of two days, he briefly returned home once to inform Song Jue that he would be occupied assisting Bing-Er in her cultivation and would not return home for several days. He emphasized that he should not be disturbed, and Song Jue, aware of the unique requirements for cultivation, accepted his explanation without delving too deeply into the matter.

While Song Jue found the situation peculiar, he trusted Cha Eun Xiao's abilities, especially considering how he had cured his ailment. He offered some advice and encouraged Cha Eun Xiao to return home immediately if anything went wrong during the cultivation process. However, Song Jue had little reason to be concerned about Cha Eun Xiao's safety, given the latter's exceptional strength and the absence of potential threats in the Land of Han-Yang.

Reports from the northern battlefront had reached Chen-Xing City, despite Cha Nantian's efforts to conceal the information. He was well aware of the consequences if these reports were to reach the capital. The rigid and obtuse officials would surely accuse him of the "immoral" eradication of the grassland people, and it would result in a major upheaval in the capital. Cha Nantian had waited until he had successfully carried out his plans before dispatching the report, and as expected, the capital was thrown into turmoil upon receiving the news.
