These two jade pendants, when combined, form a Spirit Gathering Array and a Spirit Storage Array, allowing them to absorb and store ambient spiritual energy from the surroundings at any time.
Ling Tian placed a piece of ten-thousand-year Ice Soul within these two jade pendants. This caused the spiritual energy absorbed by the pendants to be converted into ice-attribute spiritual energy.
This ice-attribute spiritual energy is a great tonic for individuals like Aurora, who possess an innate ice-attribute constitution.
By wearing this jade pendant, Aurora's cultivation speed not only doubles, but her expended abilities are also replenished in a short period, much like carrying a portable power bank.
Aurora was overjoyed. She caressed the jade pendant, feeling the faint coolness emanating from it, and found it impossible to put down. Her gaze towards Ling Tian was filled with affection.
Next, Ling Tian produced a bracelet from the cloth bag. This bracelet had an exceptionally unique design. Its chain consisted of six hexagonal metal pieces, each inlaid with a jade pendant.
The hexagonal chain connected to a large, circular jade base. Embedded in this circular jade base was a blue gemstone that continuously emitted a chilling aura.
This was no ordinary sapphire, but a ten-thousand-year Ice Soul! Ling Tian had initially considered crafting several pieces of jewelry from ten-thousand-year Ice Soul for Aurora, but later deemed it inappropriate.
After all, the cold aura emanating from the ten-thousand-year Ice Soul was close to absolute zero. Even with Aurora's ice-attribute constitution, direct contact with the Ice Soul might cause frostbite.
Therefore, Ling Tian embedded the ten-thousand-year Ice Soul into the jade. The jade was inscribed with arrays that could release the Ice Soul's energy more smoothly, making it more beneficial for Aurora to utilize this energy.
Aurora wore the bracelet on her left hand. Under the radiant sunlight, the bracelet emanated a captivating glow.
"So beautiful!"
"Aurora, this is not just a bracelet, but also a weapon, or rather, a piece of armor!
The bracelet is inscribed with a magic array. If you suffer an unavoidable fatal attack, the bracelet will unleash a spell called the Shattering Ice Armor!
This spell can withstand one fatal attack, significantly weakening it, and then explode outwards, inflicting damage on surrounding enemies.
The exploding Shattering Ice Armor, like sharp blades, can harm enemies and also carries a chilling aura that can cause frostbite!"
"Really? That's amazing! Can I try it?"
Ling Tian nodded. "Of course. Now, I will launch an attack on you. You must endure it and do not use any defensive measures!
Trust me!"
Aurora stood up, looked at Ling Tian, and nodded with great determination.
With a flash of thought, Ling Tian produced three fire talismans. He injected his true essence into the talismans, and three fireballs, each the size of a human head, shot towards Aurora in succession.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Following three explosive sounds, a massive flame engulfed Aurora entirely. The next moment, a flash of blue light appeared on Aurora's body, and a thick layer of blue ice encased her.
The flames that touched this blue ice layer were immediately extinguished. Subsequently, the blue ice layer shattered outwards, and the residual flames were doused by the cold aura released from the ice. Aurora was surrounded by swirling steam, appearing like a celestial maiden in a dreamlike realm.
Aurora was somewhat stunned. She was well aware of the terrifying power of the fireballs Ling Tian had unleashed.
Yet, she had done nothing, and had somehow withstood the attack of these three fireballs. It was simply unbelievable!
She looked down at her bracelet and noticed that one of the six hexagonal links seemed to have faded in color.
"Huh? What is this?"
Ling Tian then began to explain to Aurora that every component of the bracelet had its purpose.
The circular jade plaque and the embedded ten-thousand-year Ice Soul were used to release the Shattering Ice Armor.
Each hexagonal chain link and the inlaid jade pendant served as an energy storage device, providing the power for the bracelet to unleash the Shattering Ice Armor.
The bracelet having six hexagonal chain links meant it could release the Shattering Ice Armor six times.
After the Shattering Ice Armor was released, the magic array on the chain links would automatically absorb ambient spiritual energy to recharge them.
Under normal circumstances, in a place with the spiritual energy concentration of Hell Paradise Island, each chain link could recover its ability to release the Shattering Ice Armor once a month.
Of course, if the concentration of spiritual energy was higher than here, the recovery speed would be faster. Another method was for Aurora to infuse her ice-attribute abilities into it. These abilities would also be quickly converted into the chain links' energy.
Aurora was ecstatic. In a short period, the bracelet still had five opportunities to release the Shattering Ice Armor, meaning Aurora had gained five extra lives!
Although Aurora could also unleash her abilities to form ice around herself for protection, those techniques were extremely draining, and the defensive effect of the ice layer might not be comparable to the Shattering Ice Armor!
Now, Aurora's anticipation grew even greater. What else was in Ling Tian's bag?
Ling Tian reached into the bag and pulled out two rings. Aurora's face immediately flushed.
After all, almost everyone knew what it meant for a man to give a woman rings.
Ling Tian noticed Aurora's expression and felt a bit awkward. He had only intended to make Aurora stronger and hadn't considered this aspect. Now, it seemed the girl had misunderstood.
"Um... I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to make you stronger..."
Aurora extended her hands, and Ling Tian placed the two rings on her middle fingers. He still had some sense of propriety and didn't put them on her ring fingers.
The metal used to craft these two rings is known as Mithril in the Western world.
Due to the inherent properties of the metal, it is difficult to conduct other attributes of magic or energy. However, there is a specific, miraculous alloy that possesses high affinity for magic, and this metal is the legendary Mithril.
Therefore, Ling Tian specifically found the formula for this metal from his inheritance and used it to craft the rings. The rings were, naturally, inlaid with ten-thousand-year Ice Soul.
Ling Tian informed Aurora that the function of these two rings was to amplify ice-attribute spells. As for the specific amplification amount, even Ling Tian was unsure.
Thus, Aurora extended her hands and aimed at two trees in front of her, unleashing two ice cones!
With two flashes of blue light, two thick ice cones pierced the trees and then exploded, freezing the entire trees into ice sculptures!
