Chapter 1573 - 804: After All, You Are My Wife
...
When it circulates, it will also harm you! You shouldn’t have been cultivating the Frozen Cloud Art for more than a few years, yet a massive amount of cold air has already penetrated into your five viscera, six intestines, blood, bone marrow, and Dantian, and it is still accumulating. As time goes on, it will continuously inflict severe damage on your internal organs; it would be strange if it didn’t shorten your lifespan! These negative effects are indeed things you normally would not encounter.
(TL: Please search for these medical supplies on Google yourself.)
Xia Qingyue:
"Moreover, under the influence of this cold air, many of the meridians in your Divine Body will frequently spasm and then close up, which greatly affects your ability to use deep energy. You can try channeling your profound strength into your hands and compare it with before." Xiao Che’s expression was serious.
Xiao Che’s confident view was explained from beginning to end in a reasonable manner, with clear causes and effects. Not only that, his reasoning was so easy to understand that even an idiot could follow it. Once Xiao Che’s earnest attitude was added in, it was basically impossible to question or refute him.
When Xiao Che faced that stern expression, his heart was actually making faces—because although everything he had just said was true, all of it was true—and also complete nonsense!
The cold air accumulating inside would harm the Divine Body, that was a fact. The fact that it would seal the Meridians was also correct. But if the Frozen Cloud Art were really as unbearable as he said, then how would Frozen Cloud Asgard still be worthy of its name? Not to mention that it stands at the pinnacle of the Blue Wind Empire, and has even lasted for eight hundred years. After cultivating the Frozen Cloud Art for a period of time, the Divine Body will completely adapt to it. Then, although the cold air in the body was once harmful, not only will it cease to harm, it will even provide assistance. The congested Meridians will naturally clear as well.
However, Xia Qingyue had only been cultivating the Ice Cloud Art for three to four years. She naturally could not yet be at the stage of "complete adaptation". Judging from his words and her own experiences up to now, aside from the feeling after "eating", Xiao Che’s argument was fundamentally flawless from her perspective.
"Entertaining guests" was just an excuse. The "rules" of the Frozen Cloud Art were also just an excuse. The thing he wanted to accomplish, only he knew. After listening to Xiao Che’s words, Xia Qingyue tried to focus her profound strength into her hands. Immediately, her heart skipped a beat again. That was because, compared to before, the flow of profound strength into her hands was much less obstructed. Its speed had increased by at least twenty to thirty percent.
Seeing Xia Qingyue’s reaction, Xiao Che nodded in satisfaction: "Desolate one, don’t you feel that it’s much less congested than before, and much faster? If we release the remaining cold air in your body and clear your Meridians, then when you are not cultivating the Frozen Art, your body temperature will be the same as that of a normal person. No negative effects will appear, and the speed at which you unleash your profound strength will increase by at least half. Not only that, from now on, your cultivation speed in the ’Frozen Cloud Art’ will increase by at least thirty percent. Oh, I’m just saying it casually. If you also just casually listen, that’s fine, because you would never allow me to do these things anyway."
As Xiao Che spoke, he had already begun to tidy up the items he had brought from the infirmary.
"You just said, regretfully, that my cultivation speed in the ’Frozen’ Art would increase by thirty percent?" Xia Qingyue suddenly turned her head. Xiao Che’s words had shocked her so much that she wanted to believe him, yet could not extricate herself.
A pill that could allow a person to advance by one or two years would, without question, be listed as a rare treasure; so much so that it would incite a tremendous struggle, one that would lead to a battlefield drenched in blood. Yet the meaning of Xiao Che’s words was actually a permanent increase of thirty percent!
These words were simply astonishing! Xia Qingyue believed that if there were some requirement or condition that could permanently increase a person’s cultivation speed by as much as thirty percent, then without a doubt she believed that all the heroes in the world would flock to it and do everything in their power.
Shawn nodded. "Whether you believe me or not is up to you."
On the contrary, Xiao Che’s "believe it or not" attitude made Xia Qingyue trust him even more. Adding on the treatment effect she had personally experienced, this meant that when she faced the shocking things he later said in a modest tone, she could not bring herself to question much. This feeling even surprised her own self. The great Frozen Asgard in the Blue Wind Empire had existed for thousands of years, yet she had never heard of a method with such astonishing results. In this small Fuyun City, a sixteen-year-old youth with malformed veins might accidentally speak these words with such confidence—and she could not stop herself from faintly believing him.
Xia Qingyue asked, "This indeed has the efficacy you claim. Then why did you say I wouldn’t agree to let you do it?"
Xiao Che’s lips stiffened into a smile: "Really. If you think about it, you’ll understand. To draw out the cold air from your entire Divine Body and clear your Meridians, I would certainly need to insert needles over your whole body. Since I need to insert needles into your Divine Body, of course you’d have to undress. At the very least you’d have to show me your entire back. You won’t even let me touch your hand, so would you be willing to undress in front of me?"
