Chapter 1463: Chapter 581: A Ray of Hope Amidst the Gloom [8,000-Word Chapter Requesting Subscription]_2
There’s no choice, rare things are precious. Even though Zhou Chun knows he’s being taken advantage of, he has no choice but to accept it.
After obtaining the Spirit Blood, he immediately began the initial purification process as described in the "Holy Spirit Nine Transformations - Moon Toad Chapter", and then used it as a medium to cultivate this Secret Art Divine Technique.
What made Zhou Chun happy was that this time the cultivation indeed showed effects, proving that the [Ice Moon Toad] indeed possesses the bloodline of the [Greater Yin Moon Toad].
Unfortunately, the Spirit Blood of the Third Order [Ice Moon Toad] was extremely ineffective for the Secret Art Cultivation of the "Holy Spirit Nine Transformations - Moon Toad Chapter", making it impossible to even begin the introductory phase of the secret technique.
It seems everything is just as he thought, unless he kills or captures a Fourth Order [Ice Moon Toad], there’s no way to even talk about this cultivation.
In this situation, he really needs to make a proper plan!
Immediately, Zhou Chun settled in Ice Barbarian Country and frequently visited Golden Core Stage Cultivators of various factions within Ice Barbarian Country under the guise of making friends during his travels, in search of information about the Demon Beast Bloodline of the [Greater Yin Moon Toad], naturally avoiding the [Ice Moon Toad] option.
In an environment like Ice Barbarian Country’s icy landscape, toad-type beasts are very rare. If there truly was any sign of other toad-type beasts in the wild, Zhou Chun could easily offer a high bounty to obtain this information from those who knew of it.
Over the course of two years, though Zhou Chun had received information about another type of ice attribute Third Order toad-type beast, upon following the trail and finding this ice toad, he did not discover it possessed the [Greater Yin Moon Toad] bloodline, only gaining a corpse of a Third Order lower-grade magical beast and a Demon Core.
Both openly and secretly, Zhou Chun continued to investigate information regarding the [Ice Moon Toad].
But just as he feared from the beginning, since even other factions within Ice Barbarian Country were envious of the [Ice Moon Toad]’s attributes but had never succeeded in acquiring such a beast, it showed how difficult it was to obtain!
During Zhou Chun’s two years of investigation, he heard about many failed cases of attempting to steal the [Ice Moon Toad].
There was even a major faction in Ice Barbarian Country that, by placing a mole, supported a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator for several centuries to successfully form a Golden Core, hoping they could steal the [Ice Moon Toad].
But that Golden Core Stage cultivator ultimately failed!
The moment he took a pair of Third Order [Ice Moon Toad] out of the Flying Snow Palace gates, somehow he was exposed and was captured by a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator from the Flying Snow Palace on the spot!
In the history of Flying Snow Palace, such failed attempts to steal the [Ice Moon Toad] are not uncommon.
To this day, no one is known to have succeeded!
In view of this, Zhou Chun no longer had any hope of taking the [Ice Moon Toad] from Flying Snow Palace.
For him, cultivating the "Holy Spirit Nine Transformations - Moon Toad Chapter" was indeed important, but not to the extent that he needed to risk his life.
Even if he couldn’t cultivate during the Golden Core Stage, he could wait until he achieved Nascent Soul Formation to do so.
He believed that if he successfully reached Nascent Soul Formation, as long as he was willing to pay a sufficient price, he could have Flying Snow Palace provide him with a dead Fourth Order [Ice Moon Toad], or regularly supply him with the Lifebound Essence Blood of a Fourth Order [Ice Moon Toad].
So after carefully weighing the difficulty of obtaining a Fourth Order [Ice Moon Toad], Zhou Chun decided to back down, planning to set the issue aside for now and return to focus on his cultivation.
Just as he was about to return home and start purchasing some special spiritual objects from Ice Barbarian Country to bring back to Jingguo Country, he suddenly received a lead.
The person providing him with the lead was a Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator, who claimed that he heard toad croaks within an ice lake deep in the northeastern ice plains of Ice Barbarian Country, and confirmed that it was at least the cry of a Fourth Order magical beast!
"I dare not deceive you, elder. At that time, it wasn’t just me who heard that thunderous croak. There were several fellow Daoists traveling with me, among whom the Third Order lower-grade magical beast Ice Wind Python raised by one of them was so terrified upon hearing the croak that it issued a frantic warning!"
"If the elder doubts, I can call those fellow Daoists to testify!"
In a teahouse, Zhou Chun sat quietly sipping fragrant tea while a rugged-looking man in a white robe spoke cautiously about what he knew. frёeωebɳovel.com
According to the white-robed man, he was originally a loose cultivator from outside Ice Barbarian Country. Due to cultivating an ice attribute technique, he had been in Ice Barbarian Country for over a century, often inviting familiar Purple Mansion Phase cultivators to venture deep into the ice plains for treasure hunting.
To the east and north of Ice Barbarian Country are uninhabited ice plains, where life is rare, but in some places spirit veins and spirit lands form, nurturing rare and wondrous ice attribute spiritual objects.
Many cultivators from Ice Barbarian Country would venture into these places to find these spiritual objects.
The Third Order ice toad Zhou Chun previously killed was also a special creature from the ice plains.
Therefore, after listening to the white-robed man’s detailed description, Zhou Chun pondered for a moment, then replied, "I will trust you this once, but direction is hard to determine on the ice plains, and large blizzards break out regularly. If you want the reward, you’ll have to guide me!"
