Chapter 965: Frostbite

Chapter 965 – Frostbite
In truth, however, restoring Immortal Qi was far from as simple as Xu Chuniang thought.

The immortal qi of Zhangwei Mountain was already thin, plus the blockage of the Qinggang stone, the immortal qi that could be incorporated into the body and stored up was few and far between.

In particular, when she had built the stone house, she had only thought of enhancing the cold protection of the stone house, and had used double the amount of greenoka stones, but had neglected to do so.

After meditating for a whole day, feeling the almost unchanged immortal qi in her body, Xu Chuniang opened her eyes and shook her head helplessly.

It seemed that meditating in a stone house was not going to work.

If she wanted to recover her immortal energy, she could only go outside the stone house.

Xu Chuniang pushed open the door, and a bitterly cold wind greeted her, she couldn’t help but shiver, her body temperature rapidly draining away at an extremely fast rate.

Without using any of her Laws to protect her body, for the first time, she intuitively felt, for the first time, the harshness of the environment of Zhangwei Mountain.

No wonder the other people she saw in the mountain were wearing thick fur coats no matter what time of the day it was, this frosty cold that filled the sky was really cold.

She still had Yuan Qi protection in her body, but she felt the cold was unbearable, if it was someone else, it would be even more torturous.

It seemed that her words of admonition to Xiao Bai were a bit too conservative, with Xiao Bai’s physique, if she blew the wind outside the outer stone house for half an hour, she would probably get frostbite.

Xu Chuniang exhaled softly, trying to ignore the physical discomfort, feeling the immortal qi in the chill, operating the Tai Shang Free Heart Sutra, carefully incorporating the immortal qi that was overflowing around her into her body.

As an ascender, after her ascension, she had obtained a cultivation method common to the Immortal Realm in the hands of Evergreen, called the Record of Immortal Ascension.

The techniques that were used before ascension were often no longer applicable to the Immortal Realm, so all Ascended Ones would receive a new cultivation method from the hands of the Receiving Immortal Envoy after ascension.

Although, the cultivation methods that ascendedants received from the hands of the Immortal Attractor Envoys did not necessarily have much power, for most of the shy ascendedants, this Immortal Ascension Record was considered to be a solution to their immediate needs.

Moreover, this “Record of Immortal Ascension” has an extremely significant advantage, the cultivation methods recorded in it are applicable to all races, no matter what race they are, they can all cultivate.

However, while the advantages of the Immortal Ascension Record were significant, the disadvantages were also equally obvious, using this method to cultivate, the speed of absorbing immortal qi was too slow.

Therefore, after saving up enough Immortal Crystals, the first thing many Immortals would do was to buy a better technique to replace the Immortal Ascension Record.

However, this famous Immortal Ascension Record was useless to Xu Chuniang.

As early as when she had just ascended, she had realized that the Tai Shang Free Heart Sutra in her mind had revealed new handwriting, and all she needed to do was to cultivate according to the newly-appeared handwriting.

Xu Chuniang followed the method described in the Tai Shang Free Heart Sutra, sensing the immortal qi around her and pulling them into her body.

Immortal Qi was difficult to capture, and the more anxious one was, the easier it was to startle them.

The only way to absorb it smoothly was to not be in a hurry, and to breathe and exhale in a gradual manner.

When concentrating on cultivation, it was easy to forget the passage of time.

Two hours later, Xu Chuniang felt a hint of something wrong and came to her senses from her cultivation state, realizing that her body had been frozen all over, so cold that she had lost consciousness.

It turned out that she had stayed outside the stone house for too long, and slight frostbite had already appeared on her body.

Xu Chuniang carefully urged the Immortal Qi in her body, transforming a few Laws to protect her surroundings, and waited for a while longer, waiting for her body to regain some sensation before attempting to stand up and walk back to the stone house.

Xiao Bai could see at a glance that she did not look right and greeted her, her face full of worry.

“Sister, what’s wrong with you? Your face looks so pale, there is no blood color at all, it can’t be that you stayed outside for too long and got frostbite, right?” Xu Chuniang shook her head and coughed lowly a few times, “It’s a bit frostbitten, but I’m fine, I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

There was more worry on Xiao Bai’s face, and she couldn’t help but complain about herself.

“You’re coughing and still saying you’re fine, I was worried about disturbing your cultivation, so I didn’t go out to call you, if I had known that, I really should have called you earlier earlier!
Right, frostbite cream! Didn’t Mr. Gong give us a bottle of frostbite cream? Sister, you should use that quickly, it should make you feel better.”

Xu Chuniang felt that she wasn’t in any serious trouble, the frostbite cream, if sold separately, would have to be sold for ten Immortal Crystals, and this small injury on her body, it wouldn’t take more than a couple of days to heal, so there was no need to apply medicine at all.

However, seeing that Xiao Bai was very anxious, she still took out the Frostbite Cream and dipped her fingertips into it to apply it to the injury.

The Frostbite Cream was really effective, just after applying it, the pain eased a lot, and it gave off a clear fragrance of cedar and immortal grass mixed together, which was invigorating.

Xu Chuniang put away the rest of the frostbite cream, so that Xiao Bai didn’t have to be nervous, “Alright, the medicine has also been applied, should you believe I’m alright now?”

Xiao Bai was still a bit fearful, the frostbite on Ah Sister’s body wasn’t serious because she hadn’t been outside for long, if she had stayed longer, the consequences would have been simply unimaginable.

He said in a rare and serious manner, “Ah Sister, you must not be like this in the future, you also said that I must not stay outside for more than an hour, but you yourself did not abide by it, and once you cultivate, you forget about the time.

In the future, I’ll have to watch over you a bit more when you’re practicing!”

Xu Chuniang was a little ashamed, she knew that she had made Xiao Bai worried.

She rubbed Little White’s head, “I know, this time it’s because I made a mistake in my prediction, thinking that I could stay outside for a bit longer, I won’t do it again.”

Xiao Bai nodded, but his face did not look relaxed, he had a sad face, as if he was worried about something.

“What’s wrong? Staying in this stone house all day, isn’t it a bit boring?”

Xiao Bai shook his head, wanting to say something, “Sister, I think that if you want to live in Zhangwei Mountain, fur coats are unavoidable, after all, recovering Immortal Qi in a stone house, the speed is really too slow.

But the immortal crystals in our hands are too little, we can’t even afford to buy the most ordinary fur coat ……”

Towards the end, Xiao Bai’s tone gradually lowered.

He and his sister had spent two whole months to build an airtight, double-layered stone house, and as long as they stayed in the stone house and didn’t go out, they didn’t feel cold.

But they couldn’t stay in the stone house all the time, could they?
Just the fact that they couldn’t replenish their Immortal Qi in the stone house made it difficult.

“You’re right, I’ve actually considered this matter.”

Without fur coats, one could only cultivate outside for an hour at a time, which was really too slow.

At this rate, even if she cultivated the Tai Shang Free Heart Sutra, it would be at least several months before she could restore her body’s Immortal Qi to full strength.

There was also Little White, who couldn’t leave the stone house for too long with just his own strength.

Moreover, she would need a fur coat to protect her from the cold while practicing outside the stone house.

So, the problem was still here with the Immortal Crystals ah.

“After the frostbite on my body heals in a few days, I’ll go to Elder Gong’s place and borrow some more Immortal Crystals.”
