“Take this pill.”

Chu Kuangren took out the Enlightenment Pill and said calmly.

Shang Qingxue stared at this pill right in front of her, feeling rather astonished. The pill aroma emanated into her nose and surprisingly made her body quiver.

It was as though something was about to stream out.

“What kind of pill is this?”

“Just take it. This is something that will benefit you.”

Shang Qingxue hesitated for a moment before taking the pill from his hand. When she consumed it, a majestic herbal effect instantly erupted inside her body. In a split second, it surged across the bones and the flesh in her body, making her body feel warm.

“Ah…”

She felt uncontrollably pleasant, so much that she could not help but let out a moan.

The next second, she covered her mouth in embarra.s.sment, but the herbal effect continued to surge through her body. Like the waves, one tide after another, it continuously brushed through her bones and veins, rendering her whole body sore and numb.

What kind of weird pill was this?!

Shang Qingxue twisted and twirled, and her cheeks were so red that it looked like blood was about to ooze out.

Chu Kuangren was also baffled.

This pill… What was it doing?!

Did he give her the Enlightenment Pill?

If people did not know, they would have thought that he had given some sort of indecent pill.

Under the impact of the medicinal effect, Shang Qingxue gradually reached a climax and it was at that moment that her mind went blank. She was cast into a state of epiphany, and Daoist Rhymes from heaven and earth emerged in front of her very eyes.

A short while later, the medicinal effect slowly waned off.

In place of the medicinal effect was a cold wave that gushed out from the deepest reaches inside her body. This cold wave spread everywhere with her body as a source point.

To the floor tiles beneath their feet, the water jug on the table…

In the blink of an eye, the whole room was frozen with a layer of thick frost.

“I don't think we can stay here anymore. We need to switch location.”

Chu Kuangren said helplessly as she glanced at Shang Qingxue who had just come back to her senses.

She was filled with disbelief when she saw her surroundings. She felt that a surge of unknown yet familiar energy was flowing inside her body.

This energy was ice-cold, and although it flowed inside her, it did not affect her at all. Conversely, it was continually strengthening her spiritual power.

“What… What is this?”

“Don't be surprised. This is the power you possess. One of the top-notch Daoist Physiques from the Three-Thousand Physiques… the Deep Freeze Physique!”

“I have a Daoist Physique?”

“That's right.”

Chu Kuangren nodded slightly and briefly explained things to her.

Shang Qingxue walked out of the room and ordered some people to help Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu change into a new room. Then, she walked back to the great hall silently.

When the elders who were initially ready to leave saw her returning, they could not help but be a little surprised. “How are you back so soon?”

'No way.

'This Sect Leader Chu is done with his needs so quickly?'

“Qingxue, what did Sect Leader Chu ask you to do there?”

Shang Long immediately asked her.

“Sect Leader Chu gave me a pill.”

Shang Qingxue explained what happened in detail to everyone before she activated the Power of Ice inside her body, forming an ice crystal in the middle of her palm.

The crowd exchanged glances as they did not expect the outcome to turn out like this.

The few elders felt rather disappointed.

“Seems like Qingxue didn't catch Sect Leader Chu's eyes.”

“Yes.”

“I knew it. I told you Sect Leader Chu isn't the kind of person who would be attracted to l.u.s.t. Only you guys could have thought of that.”

“I think you're the one who had such thoughts. With Sect Leader Chu's divine looks, I could already tell that he must have other arrangements for Qingxue when he called her over.”

“In fact, I've long identified that Qingxue is extraordinary. I knew she wasn't any mediocre. All she needed was a lucky chance and she would be off flying.”

Staring at the few elders who contradicted themselves, Shang Long could not help but be annoyed.

It was right at this moment that fighting sounds could be heard from outside.

The few of their faces turned pale as they hurriedly rushed outside.

What met their eyes were Bai Feng who had brought along a few of Bai family's elites, transpa.s.sing into their territory arrogantly. What left behind their trails were the Shang clan's guards who had all collapsed on the floor.

“Bai Feng!”

“It's him. Why is he back again?”

“What a b*stard! He even brought people here to wreak havoc.”

Shang Long and his men were absolutely furious.

They darted outside and yelled loudly, “Stop what you're doing!!”

The people from both sides confronted each other.

“Give us Shang Qingxue, or you'll bear the consequences.”

Bai Feng demanded in a cold voice.

At that, the main clan elder raised an eyebrow. “Just a tiny branch clan of the Bai family and you dare have such courage. You really think that when we're down, you can just come to the Shang clan anytime and bully our people as you wish?”

He took a step forward and a surge of incredibly terrifying energy erupted from his body.

Just then, another similar gush of energy erupted from the air, and this energy was slightly more domineering than the main clan elder. A gray-robed elder then walked out, suppressing everyone from the Shang clan with the majestic Daoist Rhyme on his body.

“What are you going to do if we do bully your Shang clan?!” The gray-robed elder scorned with rage in his eyes.

The main clan elder's expression changed when he saw this. “This energy is… from an Honorable Supreme!! Which forefather of the Bai family are you?”

Never did it cross his mind that an Honorable Supreme from the Bai family would come to this meager Nimbus City. Such a character was a rare sight in the Bai family.

Not to mention him, but the rest of the Shang clan too had their faces written full of shock.

An Honorable Supreme to them was like an unreachable peerless individual. They could not believe that there was a real one standing opposite them right now.

“I am the Bai family's Fifth Forefather!”

Fifth Bai Forefather proudly proclaimed. He then scanned the place before his gaze finally landed on Shang Qingxue. “Seems like you're that Shang Qingxue. Your looks are indeed extraordinary. Come back with me so you can serve the Young Emperor.”

As soon as he said that, he took another stride forward. His speed was lightning fast, where even the Shang main clan elder could not react to it in time.

In just an instant, the Fifth Bai Forefather had appeared in front of Shang Qingxue, and he suddenly reached out his arm in an attempt to grab her.

Shang Qingxue instinctively activated her freshly-awoken Deep Freeze Physique and harnessed its energy. She struck out her palm and unleashed a cold wave.

“Hey, this… this is the Deep Freeze Physique!” Fifth Bai Forefather was slightly shocked, but he simply raised one hand and shattered the cold wave, apprehending Shang Qingxue effortlessly.

Even though she had awoken the Deep Freeze Physique, Shang Qingxue was still too weak at this point in time. She was just like a tiny ant in the face of an Honorable Supreme.

Nevertheless, Fifth Bai Forefather was still shocked. “I never imagined that there would be a top-notch Daoist Physique hidden here in this little Nimbus City. Not bad, not bad at all. Capturing you back to let the Young Emperor have you as a wife would more than suffice.”

The Fifth Bai Forefather was extremely happy.

If this Deep Freeze Technique were to be developed further in the future, though it would not be enough to become a Sage or an Emperor, it would definitely be enough to be one of any orthodoxy's central pillars.

She would certainly progress to an Honorable Supreme like him one day.

The Shang main clan elder scoffed. “Fifth Bai Forefather, I suggest that you let her go. Otherwise, I wouldn't be worried about just you, but I'm afraid your entire Bai family would not be able to bear the consequences.”

“Haha, you've got to be kidding me. Who are you trying to scare here? A clan like yours who has lost their Sage, what else can you do to us Bai family?”

“The Shang clan may not be able to do anything to you, but what about me?”

Just then, a crisp and clear voice was heard.

At a corridor not far away, a man and woman slowly walked out.

That young man at the front was especially peerless in both his appearance and temperament. He stood out and immediately drew everyone's attention.

“Who are you?!”

The Fifth Bai Forefather saw Chu Kuangren and instinctively felt a sense of threat which made his scalp tingle and his heart beat faster.

“My name is Chu.”

Surname Chu…

The Fifth Bai Forefather looked as though something had dawned on him. His eyes narrowed as he observed Chu Kuangren closely from top to bottom. The more he looked, the paler his face turned.

The white robe, the longsword, such an appearance and aura, and a silver-haired female companion…

These were enough for the Fifth Bai Forefather to confirm Chu Kuangren's ident.i.ty.
