Zhu Wushi was able to lift the ice coffin so easily with his true qi and special energy, and even managed to cover it with his true qi so that the cold mist inside could not escape.
This level of skill and control over true qi alone is enough to demonstrate Zhu Wushi's strength.
Even if Yaoyue could do this, it would be absolutely impossible for her to do it as casually as Zhu Wushi.
This shows that Zhu Wushi's strength is actually greater than hers.
Here, after Zhu Wushi lifted the ice coffin, Chu Qinghe reached into the ice coffin and placed his hand on the wrist of the woman in red inside.
As the true energy flowed through her fingers into the woman's wrist, it slowly surveyed her body.
About ten breaths later, Chu Qinghe finally withdrew his hand from the ice coffin.
As the airflow shifted, wisps of icy mist actually drifted out from Chu Qinghe's hands.
Just as Chu Qinghe withdrew his hand, Zhu Wushi immediately controlled his true energy to put the ice cover back on.
His gaze was also fixed on Chu Qinghe, and his hands behind his back unconsciously clenched into fists, showing the tension in Zhu Wushi's heart at this moment.
Seeing the questioning look in Zhu Wushi's eyes, Chu Qinghe said, "It's not difficult!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wushi's expression changed slightly, but the next second, Zhu Wushi slowly said, "Young Master Chu, you don't mean to tell me to find two more Heavenly Fragrance Cardamoms, do you?"
Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "If the Divine Marquis could find the remaining two Heavenly Fragrance Cardamoms, he probably wouldn't have traveled all this way to my place, would he?"
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe slowly walked to the stone table and sat down again.
Zhu Wushi's eyes flickered slightly as he took in Chu Qinghe's actions.
She took a light step and sat down in front of Chu Qinghe.
As soon as he sat down, Zhu Wushi asked, "What are the conditions?"
His voice clearly carried a hint of urgency.
However, Chu Qinghe did not answer Zhu Wushi's question immediately. Instead, he raised his face slightly and looked at Shangguan Haitang beside him.
Noticing Chu Qinghe's gaze, Zhu Wushi frowned slightly, then raised his hand and said, "Haitang, you go out and wait first."
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Haitang nodded slightly and said, "Haitang obeys."
After replying to Zhu Wushi, Shangguan Haitang's gaze lingered on Chu Qinghe for a moment before she quickly walked outside.
After Shangguan Haitang left, Zhu Wushi said slowly, "Now that she's gone, Young Master Chu can speak frankly."
Chu Qinghe slowly said, "I can help the Divine Marquis heal the woman in this ice coffin, but in return, I need something from the Divine Marquis."
Zhu Wushi said, "Young Master Chu, please speak freely."
Chu Qinghe smiled gently and said in a soft tone, "I would like to see the 'Absorption Technique' on the Divine Marquis's body."
Upon uttering the words "Absorption Technique," Zhu Wushi, who had previously remained relatively composed, suddenly changed his expression, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
When Zhu Wushi looked at Chu Qinghe, a hint of astonishment was inevitably in his eyes.
After a few breaths, Zhu Wushi, who had calmed down a bit, finally spoke: "I am very curious as to how Young Master Chu knew that I knew the 'Absorption Technique'."
Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Just now, when I put my hand into the ice coffin, even though the Divine Marquis tried his best to suppress it, I still felt that some of the true energy in my body was leaking out. Moreover, my sword intent was also about to be absorbed."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe revealed a trace of his own White Cloud Sword Intent.
Upon sensing the sword intent emanating from Chu Qinghe, Zhu Wushi's smile faded slightly.
At the same time, Chu Qinghe's voice continued to reach Zhu Wushi's ears.
"There are some martial arts in the world that can absorb the true energy of others while circulating true energy. For example, the 'Star Absorbing Technique' practiced by Ren Woxing of the Sun Moon Sect and the 'Northern Darkness Divine Art' of the Xiaoyao Sect of the Great Song Dynasty can both do this. However, the only martial art that can absorb the sword intent of others with true energy is the mid-grade Heaven-rank martial art that absorbs the martial arts of others for its own use, the 'Power Absorption Technique'."
After listening to Chu Qinghe's words, Zhu Wushi couldn't help but give Chu Qinghe a deep look before saying, "I didn't expect that Young Master Chu would have such experience at such a young age. It's quite a surprise to me."
Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "Since you are proficient in medicine, you should naturally understand the martial arts of the world. I happen to have some knowledge of special martial arts like the 'Absorption Technique' from the classics, and I am curious about it. I hope you will not take offense, Divine Marquis."
Zhu Wushi snorted coldly in response to Chu Qinghe's words.
But after glancing at the woman in red inside the ice coffin, Zhu Wushi turned back, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Alright! I can pass on the 'Absorption Technique' to you."
Chu Qinghe smiled and then gestured to Qu Feiyan.
Upon seeing this, Qu Feiyan quickly went to the room to retrieve the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
After adding water and grinding ink for a short time, Zhu Wushi picked up his brush and began to write in front of the group.
After an incense stick had burned a while, Zhu Wushi handed the few pages he had just written to Chu Qinghe.
However, when Zhu Wushi handed these few pages to Chu Qinghe, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
After taking the few pages of paper from Zhu Wushi, Chu Qinghe glanced at them casually.
[Ding! Mid-grade Heavenly Rank martial art "Absorption Technique" detected. Do you wish to learn it?]
Ten breaths later, as the system notification popped up, Chu Qinghe immediately circulated his true energy. With each surge of true energy, he directly shredded the paper in his hand that contained the "Absorption Technique".
