Someone recognized him and said in a low voice, “It’s him?”
“The cold-faced male cultivator with the Cold Marrow Dawn innate talent from the Alchemy Glow Peak Minor Trial.”
“I remember he wasn’t acknowledged by the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit.”
“Cold Marrow Dawn? He can remain equally at ease in cold and heat while practicing two cultivation arts at once. That innate talent is extremely rare!”
Murmurs gently rose through the hall, then quickly died down. The male cultivator entered the hall, stopped, and cupped his hands.
“Xie Hanchu pays his respects to Young Master Ning Zhuo.”
Ning Zhuo’s gaze fell on him, and his eyes brightened slightly. Of course he remembered Xie Hanchu. During the Alchemy Glow Peak Minor Trial, Xie Hanchu had displayed his Cold Marrow Dawn innate talent.
Cold Marrow Dawn was Yin by nature but held Yang within it, cold in substance yet warm at its core. It could harmonize conflicting cultivation methods, allowing a cultivator to freely regulate cold and warmth and cultivate two methods at once. For ordinary cultivators, such an innate talent could already be considered outstanding.
It was just that the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit had not chosen him at the time. In Ning Zhuo’s eyes, the fact that a spirit treasure had not chosen someone did not mean that person was useless.
“Fellow Daoist Xie.”
