To forge the heart into a frost heart.
Only then could one successfully begin.

"Right now, little Youwei is comatose and unable to cultivate on her own,"
"If I want to guide her externally, it seems a bit troublesome."
"However, it’s not entirely impossible..."
He thought silently to himself.
Afterward, Luo Changfeng headed towards a room within the courtyard.
He opened the firmly closed door.
An extreme cold air rushed forth to greet him.
What one could see with the naked eye was a room that seemed to be entirely enveloped in frost.
There lay Luo Youwei, her skin covered in frostbite, silent on the bed.
Her eyes were tightly closed, her breathing and heartbeat extremely weak.
It seemed like only a sliver of vitality was left.
"Whether it will work or not depends on this technique..."
After murmuring to himself,
Luo Changfeng silently walked towards where Luo Youwei lay.
...
About half an hour later,
Luo Changfeng exited the room.
With a wave of his hand, he closed the door behind him.
The guidance of the Frostheart Technique went smoothly.
The extreme coldness hidden within little Youwei’s body had already begun to seep into her heart meridian.
It was slowly transforming her faintly beating heart into a frost heart.
The Carefree Monk had told him the truth.
That earth-rank inferior cultivation technique, the Frostheart Technique, was indeed useful.
But where did this technique come from?
Was it from the ice-playing predecessor the Carefree Monk had mentioned?
He pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
He stopped thinking about the issue.
Since the matter was already resolved, pondering over it any further was meaningless.
...
Back under the Stone Pavilion,
Luo Changfeng first poured himself a cup of steaming hot tea.
Afterward, he waved his hand,
and took out the Demon Beast Egg, tinged somewhat red, from his storage ring.
The Demon Beast Egg was grey-black in color,
adorned with countless mysterious patterns as if they were etched onto its surface.
An eerie aura gradually filled the area underneath the Stone Pavilion following the egg’s removal.
What exactly was this thing?
Could it still hatch?
Regarding these questions, Luo Changfeng had no idea.
After all, even the Carefree Monk was not too sure.
How would he know these things?
He casually placed the Demon Beast Egg in the center of the stone table,
and Luo Changfeng stopped paying any attention to the egg, unsure whether it was dead or alive or whether it could still nurture life.
Instead, he turned his gaze toward the Guan Family in Luo Mountain Prefecture.
By now, the Guan Family patriarch had perished at his hands,
and the Luo Mountain Prefecture Guan Family had lost its only Blood Cultivation Realm cultivator.
The decline of this family power was naturally inevitable.
However, Luo Changfeng’s current considerations
were not about whether the Luo Family could swallow up the Guan Family in one go.
What he was pondering was,
the development of the Luo Family in Luo Mountain Prefecture.
Was it perhaps, a little too rapid?
Even before subsuming the Guan Family, the Luo Family already possessed the lands of the Nine Counties.
Five counties on the side of Luo Mountain Prefecture, four counties in Changping Prefecture.
Altogether, that made nine counties.
With these nine counties in hand, the Luo Family’s overall strength could already enter the top five within the Da Feng Dynasty.
If they were to also consume the four counties held by the Guan Family,
the Luo Family’s power would see a massive increase.
It might even push the Luo Family’s strength directly into the top three of the Da Feng Dynasty.
In such a situation, the Luo Family would naturally become exceedingly glorious,
and attract the attention of countless people within the Da Feng Dynasty.
But was this really a good thing?
The ancients once said, "When a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it."
The Luo Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture now somewhat resembled this saying.
"Is Blood Cultivation Late Stage really enough?"
"It might be enough to face other family powers,"
"But if facing the royal family of the Da Feng Dynasty..."
As Luo Changfeng pondered, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
The Da Feng Dynasty had ruled this land for at least several thousand years.
What sort of foundation lay within the royal family,
nobody could know.
Perhaps to outsiders,
having an ancestor in the Blood Cultivation Realm would mean that the family power could rest easy within the Da Feng Dynasty.
But Luo Changfeng thought otherwise.
"Blood Cultivation Late Stage is ultimately a bit too low..."
"Time also seems to be getting more pressing."
"I need to speed up the advancement of my cultivation."
...
In the blink of an eye,
several days had passed.
In the early morning, when the sky was not yet fully clear, n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
and the air still carried hints of the smell of earth, the cold of the night not yet dispersed,
In Luo Mountain Prefecture, the Luo Family had already gathered nearly half a million armored elite troops.
They were relentlessly advancing towards the direction of the Guan Family.
Upon learning of this, the Guan Family
immediately gathered their forces to resist the Luo Family.
But under the suppression of absolute power,
the resistance of the Guan Family seemed somewhat powerless and laughable.
Their Organ Refinement Realm cultivators simply did not have the ability to withstand the Luo Family’s Viscera Refinement.
Moreover, the Shadow Guards occasionally needed to capture test subjects for Luo Changfeng.
Such circumstances led to a phenomenon.
That is, the complete collapse of the Guan Family in Luo Mountain Prefecture.
