Capítulo 1930: Chapter 702: Flying Snow Palace

Zhou Chun, upon seeing this, naturally followed him without hesitation into the mountain gate of Flying Snow Palace.

Once inside the mist, the view ahead suddenly opened up brightly.

At first sight, besides the towering Flying Snow Peak that reaches thousands of feet high, there were also dozens of spirit peaks of snow mountains rising around.

Above these spirit peaks, various palaces and pavilions are built, with quite a few structures even entirely constructed from ice-cold materials.

Inside the mountain gate, many disciples of Flying Snow Palace could be seen practicing spells, tending spiritual medicines, and discussing the Tao over tea.

Zhou Chun cast his gaze over this mountain gate and quickly found the place he was interested in.

It was a snowy mountain lake situated on Flying Snow Peak, surrounded by icy fog, seemingly obscured by a special formation, making it difficult to see inside the lake.

To avoid misunderstandings, he didn’t look too much.

Under Fei Baiyun’s guidance, he quickly sat down with him in a palace purely carved from ice-blue Ice Jade on the mountainside of Flying Snow Peak.

As soon as the two were seated, several female disciples who acted as maidservants from Flying Snow Palace served tea.

Fei Baiyun on the main seat raised his cup towards Zhou Chun and said from afar, “Taoist Friend Zhou, you have come a long way. I regret that Fei has nothing good to offer but a cup of our specialty Silver Needle Snow Fluff Spiritual Tea. I hope you won’t mind.”

“Taoist Friend Fei, you’re too kind. Zhou came uninvited. To be received personally by you is already an honor.”

Zhou Chun said, raising his tea cup and drinking it in one go, showing his sincerity.

“The Tianling Region and Ice Barbarian Country are far apart. Fei observed that Taoist Friend Zhou is not a practitioner of ice attribute techniques. I wonder what brings you here all the way to Ice Barbarian Country and to visit Flying Snow Palace?”

After drinking the tea, Fei Baiyun, without further ado, directly asked Zhou Chun about his purpose.

The saying goes, there’s no visit for no reason. Zhou Chun and Flying Snow Palace had no previous relationship, so obviously, he wasn’t here just for a cup of tea.

Luckily, Zhou Chun had no intention of beating around the bush.

At this moment, upon being asked, he immediately replied earnestly, “This unexpected visit is indeed for a transaction I’d like to discuss with your esteemed sect.”

“Oh, I wonder what kind of transaction that might be?”

Fei Baiyun was intrigued and couldn’t help but ask further.

Zhou Chun saw this and immediately said in a deep voice, “To tell you the truth, Taoist Friend Fei, when Zhou was still at the Golden Core Stage, I had my eyes on your sect’s Ice Moon Toad demon beast. I need its essence to aid in cultivating a secret technique.”

“However, I also knew that your sect values this demon beast highly and is unwilling to let it go easily, so at the time, I didn’t dare to propose a transaction.”

“Now fortune has favored Zhou, achieving Nascent Soul Formation and accumulating considerable wealth, hence today’s visit!”

Upon hearing these words, Fei Baiyun’s expression immediately changed, turning quite unpleasant.

He looked sternly at Zhou Chun and said, “Fei must correct Taoist Friend Zhou’s statement; our sect’s Ice Moon Toad is never easily let outside, rather it never has been let outside!”

Here, he coldly continued, “If Taoist Friend Zhou merely wants to exchange for some Ice Moon Toad essence, Fei would gladly fulfill that; but if you aim to target the Ice Moon Toad, then Fei must beg to excuse you!”

His sudden change in attitude wasn’t beyond Zhou Chun’s expectations.

If the Ice Moon Toad were readily tradeable, it wouldn’t be treated so specially by Flying Snow Palace.

Therefore, Zhou Chun wasn’t bothered by his change in tone, instead sincerely looked at Fei Baiyun and said, “Taoist Friend Fei need not rush to send me away, please let Zhou finish his proposal first.”

“Zhou knows the strategic value that the Ice Moon Toad holds for your sect, thus promises not to attempt cultivating a new population to threaten your sect’s interests!”

“If this reassurance is unsatisfactory, you can exchange only one or two male Ice Moon Toads for Zhou to extract blood for practice.” Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveI(F)ire.net

Even after this statement, Fei Baiyun was still unwavering, immediately waving his hand, “Taoist Friend Zhou need say no more, the Ice Moon Toad is the fundamental essence our sect relies on, unless our sect’s heritage perishes, it can never be traded away!”

His firm attitude was somewhat beyond Zhou Chun’s expectations.

This caused Zhou Chun to furrow his brows tightly, unwillingly saying again, “Taoist Friend Fei, won’t you at least hear Zhou’s exchange conditions? The terms Zhou offers are extremely favorable for your sect!”

Upon hearing this, Fei Baiyun firmly refused, “Taoist Friend Zhou, even if you offer an Infant Transformation Pill in exchange, there would be no room for discussion!”

Indeed, Zhou Chun did possess an Infant Transformation Pill, but clearly wouldn’t use it to trade for mere Ice Moon Toads.

Moreover, Fei Baiyun was merely using this example to emphasise his stance.

Therefore, Zhou Chun knew that today’s trip was in vain.

He regrettably nodded, “Since that’s the case, Zhou won’t persist, but asks for Taoist Friend Fei to exchange some Fourth Order Ice Moon Toad essence with Zhou.”

Upon hearing that he no longer requested the Ice Moon Toad exchange, Fei Baiyun’s expression improved, then he looked at Zhou Chun, pondered for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice, “Fourth Order Ice Moon Toads are rare in our sect, their essence cannot be abundant. Fei can give you at most thirty drops!”

“Then as Taoist Friend Fei suggests, thirty drops shall suffice.”

Zhou Chun nodded and agreed readily.

After some bargaining, Zhou Chun exchanged three thousand-year-old treasure medicines with Fei Baiyun for thirty drops of Fourth Order Ice Moon Toad essence.

With the transaction completed, he didn’t linger in Flying Snow Palace and soon left the Snow Cloud Mountain Range.

Shortly after, Zhou Chun’s figure appeared in Snow Dragon Ridge, where he had once undergone Nascent Soul Formation.

At this site, a Fourth Order superior demon beast Ice Wind Owl now lay over it.

Upon arrival, Zhou Chun merely released a slight aura, frightening away the beast, then began refining the essence of the Ice Moon Toad on the mountain.

By refining the Fourth Order Ice Moon Toad essence, Zhou Chun found its effect was slightly less than that of the Fourth Order Moonview Ice Toad essence he previously refined.

However, this also confirmed his previous assumption; Fourth Order Ice Moon Toad essence can indeed assist him in further cultivating the secret technique “Holy Spirit Nine Transformations – Moon Toad Chapter” and driving this secret technique towards mastery.

Hence, the Ice Moon Toad is the demon beast he must obtain.

Since openly trading could not acquire the Ice Moon Toad, he decided to resort to unconventional methods.

But although Zhou Chun resolved to use other means to acquire an Ice Moon Toad, he did not rush to action immediately.

He had just expressed the intention to exchange for an Ice Moon Toad, and if Flying Snow Palace discovered the theft of an Ice Moon Toad now, they would certainly suspect him.

So this matter can’t be hurried and will have to be considered later.

He stayed on Snow Dragon Ridge for over a month, refining all the Fourth Order Ice Moon Toad essence, then left the place directly.

Soon, on a snowy mountain within Ice Barbarian Country, Zhou Chun’s incarnation triggered a communication token received from an Ice Prison Sect envoy, then quietly awaited the appearance of the envoy.

This Assassin Sect is mysterious, its mountain gate hidden in a place no one knows, outsiders can only contact them with tokens they issue.

If Zhou Chun wanted revenge, he had to first use the token to lure them out, then follow clues to locate their mountain gate.

Thus he waited for half a day before a streak of white ice light suddenly shot out from the snow, landing hundreds of feet away from Zhou Chun’s incarnation, revealing a figure completely clad in a white robe.
