Chapter 62 Suffering a Great Loss

“Is this the male Infinite Ice Toad?”

Elder Gui followed into the room. He had a Jade Card made of Warm Jade with him, so the cold air there had no effect on him. Looking at the little animal in the crystal box, he asked curiously.

Chu Xun nodded slightly.

Elder Gui walked to the box out of curiosity trying to have a clear look. However, just as he approached the box, the male toad suddenly rose up and stared at Elder Gui with its gem-like eyes. It then exhaled a mouthful of heavy, cold, and white smoke.

Elder Gui took a few steps backward quickly out of instinct. After he regained his balance, he stared at the male toad with fear.

However, he could no longer saw the male toad in the crystal box, for the dense white smoke inside blocked his sight.

Chu Xun smiled and said, “There are two opposite sides of each creature, with mutual promotion and restraint between each other. Crystal is exactly a nemesis of the Infinite Ice Toad. The male toad was just trying to defense itself just now.”

Resting on Chu Xun’s shoulders, Jiu You wagged its head as if it were laughing at Elder Gui for he was a coward.

Elder Gui’s face blushed. Since he met Chu Xun, he had always felt that he had lived decades in vain.

Since they had found the male Infinite Ice Toad, their goal was achieved.

Before they left, Chu Xun burned the place into ashes with Nine Heavens Burning Formation.

Since those spectres had entered transmigration, their original bodies were useless. About a hundred of dead bodies, including Evil Taoist’s, were burned into ashes.

...

Chu Xun returned to the Hua Family with Elder Gui.

Hua Qingwu was overjoyed when she saw them bring back the male toad.

“Step back, the two of you.”

When they stepped back, Chu Xun opened the crystal box.

“Swoosh!”

After it was free, the male toad jumped out of the box as fast as a lightning.

However, Chu Xun was even faster than the male toad that he caught it in the air.

With the male toad in his hand, Chu Xun felt that chilling air wormed into his body through his trichopores like snakes. If it were an ordinary man, he would be frozen inside out.

However, Chu Xun was not an ordinary man. As he exerted his True Energy inside his body, the cold air was shattered and forced out of his body.

The male toad struggled in Chu Xun’s hand, but it turned out to be in vain.

“Gooloon!”

The sound that the ice toad made was different from that of other frogs. It sounded like someone drinking water, not pleasant yet not awful. From the sound, Chu Xun could tell that the toad was angry.

Strangely, after the male toad made the sound, a similar rough low sound echoed inside Hua Qingwu’s body.

Chu Xun made a “hush” gesture toward Hua Qingwu and Elder Gui. The dormant female toad woke up.

At the same time, Hua Qingwu’s mother looked even paler. With a thin layer of ice on her hair, she looked grey-haired.

Hua Qingwu’s eyes turned red with tears, and she almost failed to restrain herself from rushing over and hugging him.

Chu Xun walked to the bed and became cautious. Unlike other spiritual creatures, the ice toad was fragile yet dangerous. If it exploded itself, the freezing aura it emitted could freeze human beings into ice.

Gathering True Energy in his palm, Chu Xun placed his hand on Hua Qingwu’s mother’s Dantian and infused some True Energy into her body. He wanted to force the female toad out of her body bit by bit.

The ice toad liked to stay in cold environment. The True Energy seemed to be mild but was in fact domineering, which was contrary to the toad. True Energy gathered into strings and flowed forward in Hua Qingwu’s mother’s body along her veins. Because the ice toad had stayed in her body for a long time, much toxin caused by coldness had accumulated in her body.

Chu Xun controlled the True Energy very carefully so as to force the female toad out while cleaning out the toxin in her body. It would take a long time to finish the process, and he had to be really concentrated at the same time. If he provoked the female toad or lost control of the True Energy, Hua Qingwu’s mother would die.

An hour later, Chu Xun’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw that Hua Qingwu’s mother opened her mouth slightly.

“Swoosh!”

A transparent shadow jumped out of her mouth and disappeared.

Chu Xun was supposed to be happy to see the appearance of the female toad.

However, his expression changed instantly because the female toad charged at Hua Qingwu directly.

As soon as Hua Qingwu felt chilling between her eyebrows, there were cracking sounds under her feet. She lowered her head only to see her feet covered by ice, which spread upward on her body.

In the blink of an eye, Hua Qingwu was enveloped by ice, looking like a beautiful ice sculpture.

Chu Xun looked grave. He moved to Hua Qingwu like a flash and placed one palm on her while exerting True Energy inside the palm.

“Crack...”

With the sound of glass cracking, the ice that enveloped Hua Qingwu was covered with cracks.

However, the male toad in Chu Xun’s hand made a sad cry at the moment. The next second, the male toad’s body started to melt and became a pool of water in the blink of an eye. The water then wormed into Chu Xun’s body through his trichopores.

Chu Xun’s arm was instantly covered with ice, which spread to his whole body.

“Bang!”

Chu Xun shook the arm and shattered the ice into powders all over the sky. However, the next second, his whole arm was covered with ice again.

“Miss...”

The incident happened so quickly that Elder Gui did not recover from shock until then. He tried to hold onto Hua Qingwu subconsciously.

“Go to guard the door and do not let anyone in,” Chu Xun said to him with a serious face.

Elder Gui realized the situation was not good. It was the first time that he saw Chu Xun look so grave. He left with the order hurriedly.

“Bang!”

Chu Xun shattered the ice on Hua Qingwu’s body.

At the moment, the ice had spead to his neck.

“Bang!”

He immediately shattered the ice on his own body; however, Hua Qingwu was about to be covered by ice once more.

“Sh*t!”

Chu Xun cursed. True Energy surged wildly around him, shattering the ice on him and Hua Qingwu.

“I can’t let it go on like this.” Chu Xun could feel clearly that cold currents ran wildly along his veins inside his body. He was still unharmed now because he had True Energy protect his body. However, Hua Qingwu was just an ordinary woman; her organs must have been injured now.

With concentrated mind, Chu Xun suppressed the cold currents in his body while drawing the cold currents in Hua Qingwu’s body over to his side.

Suddenly, Chu Xun paused his movement with a look of surprise on his face.

The cold currents that he drew to his side rushed back into Hua Qingwu’s body. Meanwhile, they even pulled the cold currents in his body almost to her side.

Chu Xun eyes glittered, and he burst out, “Energy Absorbing Constitution.”

Hua Qingwu turned out to possess an Energy Absorbing Constitution.

In the other world, there were ten kinds of special constitutions, and those who possessed them were all talents among cultivators. Energy Absorbing Constitution was one of these ten constitutions and had a powerful and domineering nature.

Energy Absorbing Constitution ranked third among the Ten Constitutions. It was very special because it could absorb spiritual energy.

Ordinary cultivators, including Chu Xun, had to search, feel, and take initiative to absorb spiritual energy; however, those who possessed Energy Absorbing Constitution could absorb spiritual energy anywhere at any time and could cultivate several times faster than others.

Fairy Jing Hong, Chu Xun’s cultivation partner, possessed Energy Absorbing Constitution as well. Chu Xun never expected that there would be someone with this constitution on earth, thus he was very astonished.

As Hua Qingwu absorbed the cold currents faster and faster, Chu Xun stopped frowning.

“What a great loss for me!” Chu Xun said with anger. “Well, maybe this is my fate.”

As a matter of fact, Infinite Ice Toads, when being together, were natural spiritual creatures, while being separated, they would become creatures of coldness. After being refined, they would benefit cultivators a lot. If Chu Xun refined and absorbed them, he could make a breakthrough and enter the Foundation stage.

Chu Xun smiled bitterly. It looked that Chu Xun worked so hard all for Hua Qingwu.

Chu Xun collected his thoughts and infused all the cold currents transformed by the male toad into Hua Qingwu’s body.

When the two kinds of cold currents met, they immediately turned into dense spiritual energy. Meanwhile, Hua Qingwu’s impaired organs were repaired gradually. Even though she knew nothing about cultivation, with Energy Absorbing Constitution, the spiritual energy could work itself to repair her organs. While the spiritual energy circulated inside her body, it nourished her eight extraordinary meridians and bones.

“Try to feel in peace, that’s how we cultivate.”

Chu Xun stretched out and poked between Hua Qingwu’s eyebrows, passing the basic cultivation methods into her mind.

A moment later, the surrounding spiritual energy all gathered around their villa.

Chu Xun envied Hua Qingwu very much and was surprised that she was so clever that she mastered the keys of cultivation in such a short time.

Spiritual energy wormed into Hua Qingwu’s body through her trichopores. Her skin shined like jade, and her plump breast heaved slightly and regularly.

Chu Xun guarded Hua Qingwu with caution, so that he could take emergency measures if something happened.

...

Hua Qingwu did not woke up until three hours later. When she saw Chu Xun by her side, she smiled at him.

Hua Qingwu emitted a holy aura at the moment, yet she looked charming. She was very beautiful, so when she smiled, Chu Xun almost got lost in the smile.

Thanks to his strong will, he regained his composure quickly and said a word “siren” in secret. He coughed to cover his embarrassment and stood up before saying, “You’re clever. Now, you have crossed the threshold.”

Actually, Chu Xun lied. Judging from Hua Qingwu’s performance, she barely crossed the threshold of cultivation. Nevertheless, it was great of her to achieve that within three hours under his guidance. Back then, it took him almost a month to cross the threshold.

“Are you willing to be my disciple?”

Hua Qingwu stood up and stretched herself. With an attractive expression in her bright eyes and in a charming tone, she replied, “No, I’m not.”

The answer surprised Chu Xun very much. He could not help but ask, “Why?”

He had admitted no disciple in the other world. If it were not for that Hua Qingwu possessed Energy Absorbing Constitution and was talented, he would not have made the suggestion, and he would not take her seriously even if she knelt down to beg him.

“Could cultivators get married?” Hua Qingwu asked, looking at him. Though she could be regarded as a cultivator now, she knew nothing about cultivation except some basic knowledge.

Chu Xun was stunned, having no idea why she asked that. “Is she worried that she could not get married after becoming a cultivator?” he wondered, and was amused by the thought. For cultivators, who acted only according to their will, there was no taboo. He replied with a smile, “Sure, they can. They could find a cultivation partner.”

“Cultivation partner! I like the name.” Hua Qingwu stared closely at Chu Xun with her charming eyes. She continued with a sweet smile, “I don’t want to be your disciple. I want to become your cultivation partner.”

The answer was totally beyond Chu Xun’s expectation. He was so surprised that he almost got choked by his own saliva.

Upon hearing the words, which was similar to what he heard from someone else before, Chu Xun was lost in memories. A stunning and gorgeous figure came to his mind.

“Chu Xun, do you want to be my cultivation partner? If you do, we can start a happy life together and celebrate it with the whole world. But if you do not, I’ll kill you and enter transmigration with you, and become your cultivation partner in our next life,” said Fairy Jing Hong, who was known as the most beautiful woman in world of cultivation. Standing on the could with her sword pointed to sky, she uttered the words, and her charming voice echoed through the whole world of cultivation.

“Yes, I do!”

Fascinated, Chu Xun replied with a tender expression in his eyes.
