Su Chen, considering Lin Ruoxue's tolerance, could only slowly transfer his True Yuan into her bit by bit.
Lin Ruoxue immediately felt a warm current flowing within her body, seemingly nourishing her and providing great comfort, her complexion gradually becoming rosy.
However, after transferring over a dozen strands, Su Chen still couldn't determine what that mysterious entity was, merely sensing its vague presence.
But the layer of cold, negative energy enshrouding it, Su Chen sensed clearly.
It was like a baby, quietly lying dormant inside Lin Ruoxue's body, and like a seed, gestating within her.
Su Chen transferred a few more strands of True Yuan, and upon entering Lin Ruoxue's body, they encircled the outermost layer of that mysterious "seed," separated by that cold layer of energy.
Lin Ruoxue instantly felt an even stronger warm current, her face immediately revealing a look of comfort and pleasure, her cheeks flushing, the redness spreading to her slender and fair neck.
Su Chen discovered that even without his active control, the True Yuan still orbited the seed, as if it naturally attracted True Yuan.
Su Chen tried hard to manipulate the True Yuan to examine the seed, but was unable to see it clearly because of the cold energy layer blocking the view.
Considering Lin Ruoxue's tolerance, Su Chen didn't dare to transfer more True Yuan.
But without adding more True Yuan, he couldn't see clearly, which made Su Chen furrow his brow!
"No choice, I have to try."
With determination on his face, Su Chen silently clenched his teeth.
He controlled a few strands of True Yuan again, then slowly guided them through the cold energy to the core of the "seed."
However, as the True Yuan passed through the outside layer of cold energy, they were largely absorbed by it.
"What in the world is this? Not only does it attract True Yuan, but it actually absorbs it?"
Surprised, Su Chen immediately drew all the True Yuan that had surrounded the outermost part of the seed and sent it inside.
Like before, most of the True Yuan were absorbed, but this time there was much more, so a significant amount still made it to the innermost part.
At that moment, Su Chen finally saw the rough shape of the "seed"; it was about the size of an adult's thumb, whiter than snow, round and plump.
Still unsatisfied, Su Chen continued to guide the remaining True Yuan into the core of the seed, eager to find out what it truly was.
However, as soon as he had led a few strands of True Yuan inside, the "seed," like a disturbed sleeping baby, stirred slightly.
In an instant, Su Chen felt an immensely vast and chilling energy that sent shivers down his spine.
The cold aura seemed to come from a land of ice beyond the Nine Nether!
The cold breath emanating from the core of the "seed" was many times stronger than what covered the surface!
Lin Ruoxue's face turned instantly pale and she let out a pained moan, her delicate brows tightly furrowed.
Su Chen looked up and saw a thin layer of Ice Frost forming on her exquisitely beautiful face.
At this moment, Lin Ruoxue had actually entered a state of deep unconsciousness, completely unaware of what was happening to her body.
Shocked, Su Chen promptly operated his Cultivation Technique, drawing the cold energy through the True Yuan to Lin Ruoxue's lower abdomen, then transferring it onto himself.
But since most of the True Yuan had been absorbed by that mysterious energy, he had only managed to draw out a little.
Therefore, Su Chen transferred some more True Yuan into Lin Ruoxue's body and continued to draw out the cold energy onto himself.
He didn't dare to transfer too much True Yuan at a time, so he had to go back and forth.
After several attempts, the Ice Frost on Lin Ruoxue's face finally disappeared, her pale complexion returning to some degree, her expression no longer as pained as before.
Her consciousness also gradually returned to normal, allowing her to perceive her surroundings once again.
And the "seed" once again fell into silence, quietly lying there as if nothing had happened!
Su Chen couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood onto the bed!
A grave expression emerged on his face. He had thought that reaching the Qi Refinement Sixth Layer Realm would be enough to help Lin Ruoxue remove that mysterious thing, but now it seemed far from sufficient!
Because the energy contained in that "seed" was astoundingly great!
"Su Chen, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Ruoxue's eyes snapped open and she was startled to see Su Chen spitting out blood. Her face instantly filled with a look of sheer panic!
"It's nothing, it's just that my wife is so beautiful, I got a bit carried away just now."
Su Chen said with a faint smile.
"How can it be nothing? Look how pale your face is!"
Lin Ruoxue had no idea about what had just happened. She didn't understand; Su Chen was fine just moments ago, how could he be , even vomiting blood?
"Let me take you to the hospital!"
Lin Ruoxue said as she was about to get out of bed, but Su Chen quickly grabbed her arm and shook his head:
"Trust me, I'm fine. I just need to rest for a bit."
Su Chen nodded and forced a difficult smile.
"Then, sleep here today."
Lin Ruoxue said softly, her pretty face flushing with a trace of crimson after she spoke.
Su Chen thought for a moment and nodded. He felt a wave of emotion slowly spreading in his heart.
He knew all too well that Lin Ruoxue was doing this because she was worried about him.
Although the best course of action for Su Chen now would be to return to his cultivation to heal his internal injury, he agreed to stay to put Lin Ruoxue's mind at ease.
After Lin Ruoxue changed the blood-stained bedsheets and duvet cover, she let Su Chen get into bed to rest. She lay down as well.
Of course, the two of them slept in separate blankets. Lin Ruoxue wasn't ready to share a bed with Su Chen yet!
"Who has disturbed my spirit insect?!"
What Su Chen did not know was that just when the "seed" had stirred,
In a secret chamber within a mountain stronghold in the southwest of Huaxia, an old crone who was deep in meditation abruptly opened her eyes, and an aura like that of a rotten corpse wafted from her!
The old crone had wanted to sense further, but the disturbance quickly died away.
"Could it be that the spirit insect is close to awakening? The time is also approaching for its successful incubation."
The old woman furrowed her brows slightly, her eye sockets sunken, her face almost fleshless, resembling a layer of skin wrapped around bones.
"It was not easy for this old body to find a Nine Yin Physique to incubate the spirit insect. No one shall thwart my efforts!"
The old crone said in a heavy tone, a malevolent glint flashing in her eyes...
