175 THE WUJI CITY
“Wouldn’t it be safer if you co along with us?” Long Tao never backed down from a challenge, but the enemy this ti was a monarch level power. It was better to have as many powerful allies near to you as possible.
“I understand where it is coming from. But now that the enemy has gotten wind about our stay in these regions, we need to stay behind to hold them off, at least until you and Su nqi successfully escape. Our power has recovered quite a bit since the injury.”
“But the enemy has a monarch level power. You wouldn’t be able to hold your ground against such a force. We need to escape together.”
“The enemy we have faced until now is quite cautious. He wouldn’t make a move out of pure whim. He would first gauge our strength. The fact remains that he himself attacks and injured us. Hence he would send a relatively low force to try and subdue us.”
“You an to say that the enemy would definitely underestimate your prowess.” Long Tao wasn’t ready to believe that such a cultivator existed. If soone was able to climb the ladders of the cultivation world and beco a Qi monarch, he must be quite apprehensive of every situation in their life.
“The misjudgnt wouldn’t stem out of his overconfidence, but rather from him being misinford about our situation. You see that theoretically, the damage inflicted on for performing that spell should have been extrely severe, but I found out that it was not the case. The ice-jade body played a huge role in reducing the impact of the damage.”
“The sa goes for your general. Although he doesn’t possess ay resource which would have aided him at his peak strength, the treasures he acquired from his now extinct family would be enough to retrain until the sa level. It was also the reason we made a rapid recovery.”
“Make your decision now. Would you like to accompany my daughter or not?”

The Crimson Lord world-
“The ice-jade body is quite a treasure, Long Tao. If you were able to help her nurture it well enough, she can turn out to be an incredibly strong ally, whose speed of cultivation would astonish even you. There is also a treasure within the divine treasury of the crimson lord world, which can provide you with a thod to train the ice-jade body to the next level.”
“What is the next level called?’
“It is called the perma-frost body, and is the second level of the ice-jade body.”
“I didn’t expect there to be multiple levels to one’s natural body types. Is there any upgrade to it?”
“There is as a matter of fact, but achieving it requires an absurd amount of luck. The third and the ultimate level is called the absolute-frost body. Achieving it through natural ans is possible, but the training environnt required is an extrely cold space. The only other way is through natural oddities.”
“But an oddity which can give you an ultimate natural body type should be quite a rare right.”
“As far as I know you require a total of 40 types of ice herbs just to build the pill required to intake such a powerful natural oddity. As per the oddity, it should be a premium ice vein at the very least, sothing only a martial monarch can use. The more you delay in upgrading, the harder it would beco.”
“What would be the best ti to upgrade to the next stage.”
“The best ti to upgrade to absolute -frost body is during the Qi emperor level. It is the ti when it takes the least amount of resources to promote. She needs to enter the perma-frost stage via the ti she enters Qi King.”
“Then she would be a worthwhile investnt, right?”. Long Tao asked with a serious face.
“I have watched you since your childhood boy. I know you would have accepted her proposal even if she had a normal body type. It is because of the fact that you have already fallen for her. Just go ahead and accept.”

Long Tao’s tent
“Before giving you a reply, I would like to inform this matter to Su nqi. She has the right to know about her past. Now that she managed to enter the Qi general realm, the ti is near when she needs to face the enemy.” Long Tao insisted on this matter.
“I have already sent for her. She must be arriving in so ti...” A figure soon entered the tent, dressed in black. He was carrying a girl on his back. Upon closer look, it was none other than Su nqi who was rendered unconscious. The woman rushed towards her and inspected her body.
Her body was pale and there were shades of purples all over her body. Her nails were starting to get darker and the lips were getting pale in color. She was poisoned by sobody.
“How did this happen? Who did this to her?”
“It was those bastards from the poison-devil sect. They were dispatched from the other direction, towards the location of young miss. They managed to get to her before I can. One of the mbers used poison on her. Even with my understanding, I couldn’t verify the source and hence am not able to cure her.”
He handed a pouch to the woman who inspected it. Her expression turned to dismay after so ti. She couldn’t evaluate the poison in Su nqi’s system. The general stepped up to inspect the satchel, but he too was heart-broken in the end.
“We must begin to extract the poison forcefully out of her.” The woman stepped up and was about to use her palm on Su nqi when Long Tao barged into the middle. “I would like you to refrain from using that.”
“Your identity and motive are not yet confird by . Also forcefully extracting the poison would result in her body being damaged internally. I can’t allow you to do that.” The woman was about to speak up when Long Tao raised his hand and demanded the sachet. Once he got his hand on the poison, he began to examine it.
.................................................
The crimson lord world-
“We need ti to deconstruct the poison. You can use so of the cleansing pills to stabilize her condition and extract so amount of poison from her body. It should provide you with enough ti to co up with an anti-formula for the poison.”
Long Tao’s avatar began to examine the poison in the crimson lord world, while he took out so of the top-grade cleansing pills from his storage.
Upon feeding Su nqi with them, the color on her face improved a bit and the purplish color began to get lighter. “What did you feed her.” The pills shine and the fragrance was extraordinary. She didn’t expect Long Tao to possess such a quality pill.
“It is a body cleansing pill; whose component has an antiseptic and anti-venom effect. Although the effect is mild, so of the poison would be extruded from her body. I can use that ti to co up with an anti-poison formula to cure her.”
“You are an alchemist?” Both the general and eth woman was shocked. Upon getting a no from Long Tao, they looked at him with disbelief.
“It explains the rapid progress of the black-buck squad. You were refining pills for them to train with.”
The Keeper and the hall master of pill hall in Crimson lord world were accompanying Long Tao in his study. “It might take a longer ti to co up with a solution. You need to help reduce the poison quantity in her body and restrict its flow. You can use the fla and thunder in your body to do that.”
“Use the fla to create a shell for the poison flowing in her and any residual amount should be eliminated by the thunder energy. You have an elent king body along with two other natural body types. These poisons would work on you. Hence be calm while refining the poison.”
............???................................
Long Tao began to do exactly as the Keeper advised. He managed to refine a bowl for the storage of any large quantity of poison and then used thunder energy to refine the residual traces in her blood. He fed Su nqi many souls calming extract from herb so that she could properly pass through the procedure.
Both the general and his wife were astonished by Long Tao’s prowess and resourcefulness. Su nqi was finally in a stable condition and Long Tao could concentrate on the anti-poison construct. He let her rest on his bed and ca out.
“We thank you for what you have done. Our daughter is alive and well because of you. We are obliged to give her an explanation, but we can no longer wait. Take this mory slip and pass it to her. It would help unlock all her mories and provide her with every single information about and her father.”
“We request you to go to Wuji city next.”
‘What for?” Long Tao had heard about the Wuji city. It was one of the important rchant cities in the empire. It was quite far from here and they would require so ti to reach there.
“The annual beats hunt is about to begin. It is the only ti cultivators below Qi king are granted access into the 1000 beasts mountain. There is an ice elent fountain in there that could help Su nqi cultivate her body and unlock its full potential. Here is the map showing the location of the fountain.”
Both the general and woman exited after saying their last words:
“We hope you take good care of her.”
Long Tao clenched his fist and replied under his breath “I will.” He continued to look at the departing figures
