130: Chapter 129: Collecting Toads [Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections] 130: Chapter 129: Collecting Toads [Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections] The Jade Golden Toad snorted and sprayed water from the lake as a sign of protest.

“Ah, not convinced, huh?”

“Fine, I’ll chop again!”

Before he finished speaking, Li Chen slashed at the Jade Golden Toad once more, summoning Guiding Thunder.

The Jade Golden Toad, scorched by the thunder inside and out, shrank to the bottom of the lake, daring not to show itself again.

Seeing that the Jade Golden Toad had calmed down, Li Chen turned his attention towards the Nine Heart Ice Lotus.

At the same time, Ximen Ying also turned his gaze there.

Seeing Li Chen ready to make a move, Ximen Ying’s eyes shifted, and he suddenly drew his long sword, lunging at Ye Chuxue.

Only by controlling Ye Chuxue could they make Li Chen hesitate.

Only then might they have a chance to snatch the Nine Heart Ice Lotus.

This was Ximen Ying’s cunning plan!

Unfortunately, he made a slight miscalculation.

That was the speed of Li Chen!

Before Ximen Ying’s sword could fall, Li Chen’s figure turned into lightning, blocking him.

“Swish!”

At this critical moment, Li Chen flicked two fingers, nonchalantly trapping Ximen Ying’s sword between them.

Ximen Ying pulled back forcefully, exerting all his might as if he was wrestling a woman’s belly, but his sword was still firmly controlled by Li Chen’s steel-like fingers, utterly immobilized.

Li Chen’s eyes suddenly turned cold as he said chillingly, “To harm my woman, there’s only one path left, and that is death!”

Ximen Ying, sensing Li Chen’s murderous intent, broke into a cold sweat.

“Little brother, I am from the Lingdong Ximen Family.

If you kill me, the entire Ximen Family will pursue you relentlessly to the bitter end!”

“Heh, are you threatening me?”

As he spoke, Li Chen’s fingers suddenly exerted force.

Ximen Ying’s sword snapped in the air, and the bright sword shadow, like a shooting star, slashed towards his throat.

“Puchi!”

Ximen Ying’s throat was cut by the sharp blade, blood spurting wildly.

His body collapsed onto the ground like a mud puddle, utterly humiliated.

A peak Cross-training Master, reduced to an ant effortlessly crushed under two fingers by Li Chen.

Witnessing this unbelievable scene, everyone present was utterly shocked.

Ximen Yuu, with a cold gaze, shouted angrily, “Li Chen, you dare to kill my Sixth Uncle, aren’t you afraid of the Ximen Family’s Thunderous Fury?”

“Clamor!”

Li Chen retorted with a sword slash towards Ximen Yuu.

“Puchi!”

While Ximen Yuu wanted to block with his sword, his arm barely raised before Li Chen cleanly chopped it off.

Blood splattered instantly!

With a sideways glance, Li Chen coldly stated, “I severed your arm as a warning.

Dare to speak nonsense again, and I’ll take your head!”

Ximen Yuu, frightened to a deathly pale, clutched his bleeding arm, silent as a cicada in cold weather.

He didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

“Get lost, if the Ximen Family dares to oppose, I can crush you with a flip of my hand!”

Grinding his teeth with hatred, Ximen Yuu retreated resentfully.

Then, Li Chen turned his gaze towards Mei Ruohua.

“Miss Mei, aren’t you leaving?”

Mei Ruohua was startled by Li Chen’s icy look; after a moment’s hesitation, she knelt straight down.

Seeing Mei Ruohua suddenly kneel, a hint of surprise flashed on Li Chen’s face.

“Miss Mei, what is the meaning of this?”

Biting her lip, Mei Ruohua pleaded, “Sir, could you possibly spare one Nine Heart Ice Lotus for me?”

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, “And your reason?”

Mei Ruohua sincerely said, “I am willing to pay a high price, please make sure it’s complete!”

Li Chen got interested and smiled as he asked, “Oh, how high is this high price?”

Mei Ruohua bit her lips tightly and asked, “How much would you like, sir?

Please feel free to name your price!”

Li Chen thought for a moment, raised a finger, and said, “1 billion, I might consider selling you one.”

Hearing Li Chen quote a lion’s share right off the bat, raising the price to a staggering one billion, Mei Ruohua and the others were all stunned to silence.

Mei Ruohua hurriedly said, “Sir, don’t you think demanding 1 billion right away is a bit unreasonable?”

Li Chen raised a finger and waggled it back and forth.

“NO, NO, NO, this is purely a matter of willingness on both sides.

If you want it, pay the price.

If not, please feel free to leave.

It’s like playing poker at a train station, take it or leave it!”

Seeing Li Chen’s resolute attitude, Mei Ruohua steeled her heart and said, “Sir, 1 billion is not a small amount, on me…”

Li Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it on you now, just write an IOU!”

Mei Ruohua, looking at the smile on Li Chen’s face, felt like he was a devil from hell.

Yet, in her current situation, she had no choice but to make a deal with this devil.

She hesitated for a moment and then gritted her teeth, saying, “Fine, I’ll write the IOU!”

Having said that, Mei Ruohua bit her finger, took out the portable paper she carried, and wrote frantically:

I owe 1 billion, for purchasing one Spiritual Medicine, Nine Heart Ice Lotus!

Signed: Mei Ruohua

Li Chen took the IOU, glanced over it briefly, plucked a Nine Heart Ice Lotus, and tossed it to Mei Ruohua.

“Take it!”

With Mei Ruohua gingerly holding the Spiritual Medicine, she excitedly said, “Thank you, sir, for the medicine!”

Li Chen waved his hand and said, “No need to thank me, you paid 1 billion for it.”

After seeing off Mei Ruohua, Li Chen turned his focus back to the Jade Golden Toad at Yutan Lake, which was barely alive.

“Lousy toad, now I’ll ask you again, will you submit?”

The Jade Golden Toad’s eyes, which resembled lanterns, swiveled upwards, fearing more thunder would strike from the sky.

It had cultivated for over four hundred years and though it could not speak, its spiritual wisdom was no different from that of a human.

At this moment, it realized deeply that this hairless monkey before it was someone it definitely could not afford to provoke.

After creating two splashes in the water, the Jade Golden Toad slowly crawled ashore and knelt submissively at Li Chen’s feet.

Seeing that the Jade Golden Toad was sensible, Li Chen nodded in satisfaction.

“Good, seeing as your cultivation has not been easy, I shall take you as my Beast Pet.

I bestow upon you the name: Lousy Toad!”

Hearing Li Chen’s bestowed name, the Jade Golden Toad rolled its eyes towards heaven in protest of the name “Lousy Toad.”

However, when it saw Li Chen raise his finger again, it trembled in fear and promptly lowered its head in a timid, frightened manner.

Li Chen took down three ice lotuses, fused a Soul Imprint into them, and introduced them into the Sea of Consciousness of the Jade Golden Toad.

This way, it could heal its injuries and control its mind, killing two birds with one stone.

From the memories of the Jade Golden Toad, Li Chen learned that there was an Azure Water Spirit Crystal below Yutan Lake.

It was precisely this object that absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, nourishing the growth of the Nine Heart Ice Lotus.

Li Chen gathered a vortex in the palm of his hand, directly drawing out the Azure Water Spirit Crystal like the Azure Dragon Absorbing Water.

This was a Mid-grade Spirit Stone the size of an adult’s palm, crystal clear with a rich amber essence flowing inside.

Seeing the Spirit Stone in hand, joy was written all over Li Chen’s face.

“Li Chen!”

Just then, Ye Chuxue came running up, softly calling out.

Li Chen looked at Ye Chuxue with a soft and affectionate gaze, smiling at her.

Ye Chuxue blinked and anxiously asked, “Are you alright?”

Li Chen saw he had mud on his body, shook his head, and said, “I’m fine, but I’ve dirtied the clothes you bought for me!”

Ye Chuxue almost fainted; even at such a time, this guy still cared about a piece of clothing worth no more than five hundred, was his brain scrambled?
