Chapter 956 I'm Missing~ (Long Chapter)
Nanzhou Holy Flame Island, in the Holy Flame Realm.
Nangong Tian slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a soft, large bed, with Pan Chengfeng sitting anxiously beside him.
Nangong Tian suddenly felt unwell again and quickly closed his eyes to continue pretending to be asleep.
He wasn't afraid of Pan Chengfeng, but rather he was too ashamed to face anyone.
What Pan Chengfeng said before was actually true. He really did nothing but faint during the hunt for the eighth-order magical beast.
Xueyou and Pan Chengfeng did all the work.
This was the first time Nangong Tian had been spoken to so harshly, and it was the truth, so he just wanted to disappear into the ground. What was there left for him to be resentful about?
Pan Chengfeng told the truth earlier, which immediately made Nangong Tian faint with anger, because the truth is the most hurtful.
He was afraid that Nangong Tian, who was seriously injured, might get into trouble because of him, so he stayed by Nangong Tian's side and kept an eye on Nangong Tian's condition.
Fortunately, the Life-Returning Pill was extremely effective. Nangong Tian was in great danger at first, but as time went by, his condition began to improve slowly.
Pan Chengfeng knew that Nangong Tian had woken up, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up and said, "Brother Nangong, if you don't want to see me, then I'll leave now."
"Wait a minute..." Nangong Tian opened his eyes and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm not that stingy, and what you said is true. I won't covet that 'Heavenly Rhyme Divine Mushroom,' but I must get the Companion Demon Herb!"
Pan Chengfeng pointed to Xue You not far away and said, "The Demon-Companion Grass isn't with me. If Brother Nangong wants it, go find her."
Nangong Tian tried to get up, but almost all of his bones were broken. His body was weak, and it had only been a few days. How could he possibly recover?
The moment he propped himself up, with a crack, the bones in his hand, which had just begun to heal, broke again, causing Nangong Tian to almost shed tears from the pain.
Pan Chengfeng quickly reached out to help Nangong Tian sit up and said, "Brother Nangong, your body is too weak."
"Don't just focus on condensing your magical power; your physical strength needs to keep up too!"
Nangong Tian replied, slightly out of breath, "During this trip to the Holy Flame Realm, I also discovered this weakness. It's time to train my physique properly."
Pan Chengfeng chuckled and said, "When it comes to body tempering, I'm second to none..." He then slightly raised his chin, his expression practically saying what he meant.
Seeing this, Nangong Tian said with a strange expression, "You want me to ask you for advice? It's a pity I don't have time to practice body refining techniques. It's too time-consuming and too torturous."
Pan Chengfeng scoffed and said, "You want to learn, but I won't teach you. Do you think body-refining techniques can be taught so easily?"
Nangong Tian pushed Pan Chengfeng away, sat cross-legged and said, "I'm fine now. I'll recover after a month of meditation."
After saying that, Nangong Tian ignored Pan Chengfeng, took out a pill, swallowed it, and began to meditate.
With three months left, the five-year term would be up. Pan Chengfeng couldn't do much in that time, so he could only find a place to meditate and cultivate.
The spiritual energy here is a hundred times that of the outside world, and more than ten times that of the Tranquil Valley of the Thunder Control Sect. Cultivating here for a month is equivalent to cultivating in Tranquil Valley for a year.
Pan Chengfeng planned to take advantage of this time to cultivate some more. He had just taken out a few spirit stones when he heard Xue You's voice: "Come here, I have something to ask you."
“What’s meant to happen will happen eventually.” Pan Chengfeng got up and walked towards Xue You. When he was still fifty meters away from Xue You, he saw Xue You’s beautiful eyebrows furrow slightly.
Pan Chengfeng understood immediately and, not wanting to provoke the situation, cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Is there anything else you need from me, Fairy?"
Xueyou said expressionlessly, "Speak. If you don't satisfy me, don't even think about leaving here alive."
"Damn it! This bitch, does she really want to kill me?!"
Pan Chengfeng muttered to himself, then forced a smile and said, "Fairy, you really love to joke. We've been through thick and thin together, are you really willing to kill me?"
Xue You's beautiful eyes narrowed, and a murderous aura filled her as she said, "Stop joking around with me and speak quickly!"
Pan Chengfeng was startled and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "Fairy, don't be impatient, I'll talk, I'll talk, okay? But how can I even begin to explain?"
Xueyou pondered for a moment and said, "Let's start with how you knew about my constitution."
Pan Chengfeng composed himself and said, "This matter... it's a long story..."
Xueyou said calmly, "Three months. You can take your time and tell me everything."
Pan Chengfeng was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Shouldn't you have told me to keep it short? Why aren't you following the script?"
Pan Chengfeng was still rambling on when Xue You added, "If you can't satisfy me, then I'll just kill you."
Pan Chengfeng shrank back and said, "No need, no need, it won't take three months at all. I can finish explaining very quickly."
Next, Pan Chengfeng spoke eloquently for almost half an hour, finally clarifying the matter.
It turns out that Pan Chengfeng knew about the 'Ice Soul Extreme Cold Body' because he had to 'thank' his body-refining grandmaster, Xuan Yuanzi.
Xuan Yuanzi injured Yan Baifeng. In order to find a way to heal Yan Baifeng's injury, Pan Chengfeng, for the first time ever, browsed through some miscellaneous books in the library of the Yu Lei Sect.
I spent over a million points and half a year browsing through a large number of books and jade slips in the library.
I didn't find a way to treat the injury, but I did read a lot of interesting anecdotes and stories.
One of them is an event recorded by a senior member of the Yu Lei Sect more than 100,000 years ago.
It was in the far north that he met a woman with a special constitution.
Moreover, this constitution does not match any of the ones recorded on the ranking list; it is a special constitution that has not been recorded.
In its early stages, this physique resembles the Mysterious Ice Saint Body; in its middle stages, it resembles the Ice Phoenix Treasure Body; and in its later stages, it resembles a combination of the two physiques.
But no matter which one it is, none can compare to the power displayed by this woman's physique.
This senior from the Thunder Control Sect observed her for decades and consulted numerous ancient texts, finally confirming that this woman's physique possessed a unique trait outside the rankings: the 'Ice Soul Extreme Cold Body'.
Unfortunately, the woman who possessed the 'Ice Soul Extreme Cold Body' perished when she broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Upon hearing that the woman was dead, Xueyou seemed to be affected, her red lips slightly parted as she asked, "Do...do you have a portrait or name of that woman?"
Pan Chengfeng shook his head and said, "No, but she did mention that she has a daughter."
After her death, her daughter left the Thunder Control Sect. Because her daughter only had Foundation Establishment cultivation, the sect's elders stopped paying attention to her.
Xue You calmed herself down and continued to ask, "Last time you said you knew about the 'Ice Soul Extreme Cold Body' and how to cure it. Is that true?"
Pan Chengfeng: "Uh... this, uh..."
Xueyou's murderous aura resurfaced. If Pan Chengfeng dared to lie to her, she would definitely tear him to pieces.
Pan Chengfeng hesitated for a long time before finally getting to the point. It wasn't that he didn't know, but he wasn't sure if it was curable.
Moreover, the treatment method was 'very stimulating,' and he was afraid that if he told Xueyou, she would castrate him directly.
Xue You could no longer suppress the murderous intent in her heart, and even Pan Chengfeng felt a trace of fear from the coldness in her beautiful eyes.
Xueyou is not without intelligent demon beasts. If they really fight, Pan Chengfeng estimates that he will have to go see his great-grandmother in about three moves.
Feeling uneasy under Xue You's gaze, he knew that if he didn't speak up soon, Xue You might explode.
Pan Chengfeng hurriedly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk, but I have conditions! If the fairy doesn't agree, even if you kill me, I won't dare to treat her!"
Xueyou suppressed the murderous intent in her heart and said calmly, "Speak, as long as I can do it, I will agree to your request."
Pan Chengfeng rolled his eyes and said, "This matter can only be known between the two of us, and no one is allowed to tell anyone else."
Also, I will treat the fairy, but regardless of whether I can cure her or not, the fairy must not make things difficult for me afterwards!
Xueyou could naturally agree to the first condition, but why did it feel like Pan Chengfeng was leaving himself a way out for the second condition?
After a moment of contemplation, Xueyou asked, "I can agree to your request, but how can you let me know that you truly know how to cure me, and not just be trying to deceive me?!"
Pan Chengfeng chuckled and leaned closer to Xue You, saying, "That's simple. Although the 'Ice Soul Extreme Cold Body' is powerful, it has a fatal flaw."
The fairy came to hunt eighth-tier demonic beasts this time without any regard for the consequences because she didn't have time, right?
Xue You turned away in silence. Pan Chengfeng was secretly pleased to see that Xue You had not left, and continued, "'Ice Soul Extreme Cold Body' is said to be a special physique, but it is actually a kind of 'poisonous body', an extremely yin and cold poisonous body!"
The more mature the physique, the more severe the cold poison becomes. Every time a fairy advances to a higher level, the cold poison will flare up once, causing her to fall into a coma.
Moreover, the duration of your coma will increase as your strength improves.
The most dangerous thing is that even if you don't cultivate, your magical power will unconsciously improve because of the cold poison.
The reason you were able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm and control the Cold Poison must be because the Jade Maiden Sect's ancestor must have spent a lot of time and energy on you, right?
However, this is only a temporary solution and not a cure. The longer the cold poison is left, the worse it becomes. It can be said that the most potent poison in the world is the cold poison in the fairy's body.
"Let alone Mahayana cultivators, even Great Emperors would be helpless against that cold poison without the correct treatment method."
Xueyou was so shocked that she couldn't utter a single word, because everything Pan Chengfeng said was correct, and it was almost exactly the same as her situation.
Seeing Xue You staring at him with her beautiful eyes, Pan Chengfeng scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "These are the results of decades of observation by the seniors of the Thunder Control Sect. I'm just reciting from the book. Please don't look at me like that, Fairy~"
Xueyou snapped out of her daze and said, "So that senior also found a way to treat it?!"
Pan Chengfeng coughed and said, "No."
"You!" Xue Youyu raised her hand, pointed at Pan Chengfeng's nose, and was about to curse, and curse him in a very crude way!
Before she could finish speaking, Pan Chengfeng grabbed her hand.
Xueyou's small hands were enveloped by a large hand, and her face instantly turned red. She couldn't help but mobilize her magic power.
Pan Chengfeng was instantly frozen in place, and this freezing effect was released by Xue You unintentionally, without any restraint.
Pan Chengfeng was completely unable to move, and even his brain function slowed down.
Xueyou forcefully pulled her small hand away, her pretty face flushed red, and said, "You lecherous scoundrel! You're asking for death!"
Actually, Pan Chengfeng didn't do it on purpose. He was just not used to being pointed at, so he instinctively grabbed Xueyou's small hand and tried to press it down.
To his surprise, Xueyou froze him the moment she touched him.
Xueyou grew angrier the more she thought about it, and raised her little hand as if to smash Pan Chengfeng's ice sculpture.
But the little hand that was raised high could never be lowered.
She, her master, and the ancestor searched for many years but could not find a way to cure her constitution.
Now the opportunity is right in front of her. Is she really going to shatter her hopes just because her little hand was touched?
After hesitating for a long time, Xueyou still couldn't make up her mind.
No one knows the pain she suffered when her cold poison flared up.
She was clearly in a deep sleep, but she could clearly feel the torment of the cold poison in her body.
Moreover, she was completely powerless to resist and could only let the cold poison slowly erode her body.
She didn't want to continue to suffer like this. The person in front of her couldn't die yet. It was just touching her little hand, wasn't it?
Once she's cured, she can kill him, and then no one will know that this lecherous man had taken liberties with her.
Thinking of this, Xueyou gently waved her hand, and Pan Chengfeng's frozen state immediately disappeared.
Standing there dumbfounded, Pan Chengfeng still had his hand in the grip, his mind blank. "What happened to me? Did the fairy attack me just now?"
Xue You said calmly, "After all that you've said, did that senior find a solution or not?"
Pan Chengfeng scratched his hand. He remembered that he seemed to be holding Xue You's small hand just now, so how come Xue You is fifty meters away from him now?
Pan Chengfeng blinked and replied, "Oh, that senior only had a conjecture, but no opportunity to implement it, because he lacked a crucial element."
Xueyou's eyes lit up and she said, "What's missing? I can find it!"
Pan Chengfeng pointed to his nose and said, "I'm missing!"
