Little Leaf Ancient City slowly opened his eyes and his hands could move.
"Can it continue?" Elder Ye said expressionlessly. Ye Gucheng nodded to show that he could continue. Then, Ye Gucheng continued to carve on the ice and snow ground with his iron pen.
"Re-engrave!"
"Re-engrave!"
……
It was not until the setting sun that the carving training ended. However, none of them satisfied Elder Ye.
"Let's continue tomorrow afternoon. Let's eat now.”At some point, two pieces of flatbread and some beast meat wrapped in oil paper appeared in Elder Ye's hands. He handed the item to Ye Gu City. Ye Gu Cheng's stomach was already empty after carving for an entire afternoon. He grabbed the food and started eating.
However, Elder Ye had returned to the cave. He really didn't let Ye Gucheng sleep in the cave. He didn't say anything to Ye Gu City. Ye Gucheng knew that he was going to sleep in the snow again. Elder Ye returned to the cave. There was nothing unusual in the cave. However, there were two spirit tablets at the innermost part of the cave. Incense was burning on both sides of the spirit tablet. Elder Ye walked to the two tablets with heavy steps and did not speak for a long time. He looked at the spirit tablet in silence. Soon, tears rolled down from Elder Ye's eyes as he spat out a few words,""Why didn't you listen to me back then…"
Although the time set by the old man was up, Ye Gucheng continued to carve. He was determined to carve the word 'Ye' properly today. If Ye Gu Cheng was not satisfied with a word, he would erase it and re-carve it.
"No, it's crooked again."
"No, it's not aligned."
" No…" Ye Gucheng wrote repeatedly, but the coldness surged into his heart again. Ye Gucheng's body trembled again.
"No, I have to rely on myself. Qi gathered in the head, sank into the dantian, and spread throughout the body.”Ye Gucheng closed his eyes and began to slowly comprehend these words. For a moment, his entire body relaxed, but it became even colder. Ye Gucheng repeated a few sentences in his tender voice.
"Qi will gather in the head, sink into the dantian, and spread throughout the body…"
"... Will be able to... Qi... Dantian... Whole body..." Ye Gucheng read faster and faster, and the more he read, the smoother it became. Suddenly, an unknown stream of air came out of Ye Gucheng's head and entered his brain.
"I know! I know! It was to make the brain produce an unknown feeling to absorb energy from the outside. Qi sinking into the dantian? Your dantian should be here, right?" Ye Gucheng pointed at his abdomen and muttered to himself.
" Let me try…" Ye Gucheng closed his eyes again, trying to figure out something. Ye Gucheng slowly tried to push the energy in his brain to his dantian. However, Ye Gu Cheng, who lacked experience, didn't know how to properly push this energy into his dantian. He could force it out at will, and it would dissipate completely.
"Sigh…I was too impatient." Ye Gucheng sighed.
"Eh, it seems like my body is a little hot? En…then continue to try." Then Ye Gucheng's head started to breathe again. As expected, a trace of energy gathered in his brain. This time, Ye Gucheng was more careful. He slowly tried to push the energy into his dantian.
"Sigh…I still don't believe it. You can't succeed even if you try a few more times?" Ye Gu City had failed again. Ye Gucheng had just started to practice Genuine Qi. How could he succeed so easily? Since one time didn't work, he would try a few more times or even dozens of times. Ye Gucheng had already sunk his qi into his dantian dozens of times, but not once had he completely pressed the energy, the so-called genuine qi, into his dantian. At this moment, Ye Gucheng's body was not cold at all. In fact, it was slightly warm.
"It's already sixty times. It's time for a good impact.”Although Ye Gucheng was only five years old, one could still see his seriousness and nervousness. "Success or failure depends on this move!" Although Ye Gu City could continue to charge forward. However, it was definitely not as clear as the first time. If he succeeded this time, the benefits for Ye Gu City could be said to be quite large. Ye Gucheng's eyes were tightly shut. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly in order to succeed. He muttered silently, silently getting angry. He absorbed a trace of energy gas from the outside world. The energy gas he absorbed now was thicker than the first time. However, it was still just a trace of energy gas. Once again, he used his will to suppress this trace of energy gas. The energy gas slowly moved towards his dantian. At this moment, Ye Gu Cheng was actually sweating. This was also the first time Ye Gu Cheng had sweated in the Snow City for half a year. At the entrance of the cave, Elder Ye was also looking at Ye Gu City from time to time.
"Tsk…"
A sound like hot iron being put into water came from Ye Gucheng's dantian.
"I finally succeeded! Could this be the true energy Grandpa Ye was talking about?”Ye Gucheng touched his dantian and felt an inexplicable sense of fulfillment. A trace of true energy was lingering in his dantian, as if he was trying to touch something. Now, Ye Gu Cheng was not only cold, but his whole body was also emitting a trace of heat, but this was only temporary. He had to practice continuously to strengthen that wisp of true qi to resist the cold.
"Mhm, it's not cold now, so let's continue carving.”Ye Gucheng took the iron pen and started to carve the word 'Ye' again. With a trace of Genuine Qi protecting his body, Ye Gucheng's hands were no longer trembling as before, and he carved much better. There were some words carved now, and it was only a matter of time before they were neatly carved.
The sky grew darker. The moon also woke up from the clouds, and the bright moonlight shone on the snow mountain. The reflection of the snow and ice on the snowy mountain also gave off an inexplicable sense of comfort and serenity.
Ye Gucheng continued to carve under the harmonious moonlight. In fact, Ye Gucheng's eyes had changed a lot since half a year ago. It was not as simple as his eyes turning blue. Even without the moonlight, Ye Gucheng could still see everything in the darkness. Ye Gucheng himself felt that it was strange, but no matter what, it was a good thing to get up the horse, so he didn't think too much about it.
Ye Gu Cheng was doing two things now. The first was to absorb the energy gas when it was cold and turn it into true qi, circulating it in the body. The second was to continue carving. Now, Ye Gucheng was getting more and more familiar with the carving, and it was almost time to end the word Ye.
"Yay! I finally succeeded this time." Ye Gucheng shouted excitedly. After carving for so long, he finally succeeded. How could he not be happy?
"Sigh…I finally succeeded. Now I can sleep in peace.”Ye Gucheng closed his eyes and fell asleep on the ground. If it was before, it would definitely be extremely cold. However, it was much better now. The true qi in his body was constantly circulating. However, there was still a hint of coldness. After all, this was a snowy mountain, and he was only five years old.
"Chirp…"
"Chirp…"
A group of snow swallows and a few snow eagles were soaring in the sky above the snowy mountain.
More and more people came to the snowy mountains to catch snow beasts. Occasionally, I could see three or five people climbing the mountain in groups. This also showed how strong the snow beasts were. Without absolute strength, no one would dare to kill and capture the snow beasts alone. Of course, it also depended on the target. No one dared to capture and kill low-level snow beasts without the strength of the xiuzhe of the three realms. It was impossible for a middle level snow beast to not have the strength of three to four xiuzhe of the five jie. Only xiuzhe of the eight jie could tame high level snow beasts. As for the legendary Black Tortoise, no one knew if it existed. Even if it existed, the chances of subduing it were almost slim. After all, it was one of the Four Great Divine Beasts with the highest defense!
Every xiuzhe that went up the snow mountain would look at the sleeping Ye Gu City. They all felt that it was very strange. Which family's child would run around here? However, they all left after taking a look. Usually, people who came to the snowy mountain were only after low-level snow beasts. Occasionally, a group of people would gather together to kill and capture mid-level snow beasts. And there were very few people who could capture high-level snow beasts. Even after a few years, not many people went to catch high-level snow beasts. The snow beasts on the snowy mountain were very strange. They would rather be killed than leave their range. Unless it was a threat to their children. Thus, many xiuzhe would use this to better kill and capture snow beasts. No one knew why the snow beasts didn't go beyond his range and leave the snowy mountains.
" En…" Ye Gucheng heard the cries of the snow swallow and the snow eagle. He stretched and stood up. He suddenly realized that the true qi in his body had become a little stronger, and he couldn't help but feel happy. At this moment, Elder Ye came out of the cave and walked to Ye Gucheng with a smile.
"Grandpa Ye, I know how to carve leaves. I'll carve them for you now.”Ye Gucheng was about to sit on the ground and carve when he was stopped by Elder Ye." No need. I believe you."”
Ye Gucheng could vaguely feel that Elder Ye had been watching him the whole night. From time to time, he felt touched and decided that he would not disappoint Elder Ye in the future.
Elder Ye patted Ye Gucheng's shoulder and said,""Don't say anything else. Let's eat something first.”He didn't know when, but something had appeared in Elder Ye's hand. Ye Gucheng took it and sat down on the ground to eat.
"En, it's delicious." Unknowingly, Ye Gucheng had almost finished the food in his hands.
"Thirsty? Come, have some fruit to quench your thirst." Elder Ye handed two red fruits to Ye Gucheng. Ye Gucheng also started to eat the fruit with a silly smile, but he didn't know the value of the fruit.
Ye Gucheng was enjoying the two red fruits. If some lower jie xiuzhe saw it now, they would definitely admire it. However, in Ye Gu Cheng's mouth, it became a fruit to quench his thirst. Ye Gucheng rubbed his swollen belly and laughed foolishly. However, there was also a trace of sadness. This should be the third time in half a year that Ye Gu Cheng had eaten to his heart's content.
"It's already been an hour. Let's start training!”Elder Ye opened his mouth and said. When it was time for training, Elder Ye became serious again. Ye Gucheng nodded.
"Let me do a test and watch carefully.”Ye Snr. spread his legs and slowly lowered his body. He moved to a coordinated position and did a very standard horse stance. Not only that, but his fists were also tightly clenched, and his forearm was extended parallel to the ground. He did a horse stance and punched. It might not be a big deal for a short period of time, but it would not be so easy to persist for a long time.
Ye Gucheng also spread his legs like Elder Ye, and just as he was about to descend, Elder Ye spoke again. "The posture and range of the legs are wrong. Think carefully about how I did it."
Ye Gucheng thought about it carefully and seemed to have found the problem. Elder Ye's legs were about an arm's length apart, but it wasn't very wide. Ye Gu City was the exact opposite. Ye Gu Cheng tried again, but this time, he didn't say anything. She continued with her next move, thinking about what Elder Ye had done as she slowly moved down. After moving to a seemingly harmonious position, Ye Gu City stopped moving.
" A scholar can be taught..." Elder Ye said calmly. Ye Gucheng was right. Hence, he clenched his fists and made a punching posture.
"Alright, let's maintain this position.”After saying that, Elder Ye "slid" towards the cave without looking back. Ye Gucheng was left alone in the horse stance.
In an instant, heavy snow fell from the sky again. The north wind blew, and with the snow swallows and snow eagles wandering around, it was a beautiful scene. Ye Gu Cheng was working hard in this beautiful scenery. Time slowly passed, and Ye Gu Cheng was also persisting. Ye Gucheng felt that it was okay for a while, but as time passed, he felt that it was not suitable. His whole body was sore and numb, especially his thighs. Ye Gucheng had no choice but to circulate his Genuine Qi to see if it could produce unexpected results. As expected, he started to circulate his zhenqi, and the soreness in his entire body eased a little. Ye Gu City was constantly operating. The soreness increased, and the true qi in his body circulated faster. In the end, the circulation of his true energy reached a relatively fast level. He was constantly consuming his true qi, seemingly relieving the soreness in his body. But Ye Gucheng found himself getting more and more tired.
Suddenly, a cool feeling spread throughout his body and even his brain. He realized that the soreness in his body had actually lessened a lot. The tiredness had also disappeared, and he was even more energetic than before. Ye Gu Cheng was confused.
"Could it be those two fruits?" Ye Gucheng muttered to himself.
Ye Gucheng was trying his best to squat. Occasionally, one could hear the furious roars of wild beasts and the miserable cries of xiuzhe. It gave people a creepy feeling. Coupled with the cold of the snowy mountain, it made people tremble. Ye Gu Cheng, who was far away, trembled unconsciously when he heard it.
"Roar…"
At this moment, there were three or four Second Realm xiuzhe hunting a low level snow beast "White Tiger" in the middle of the snow mountain. The white tiger was 20 feet tall and 40 feet long. Its tail was also 10 feet long. The White Tiger Snow Beast, which was usually in a dangerous situation, was also in a desperate situation. A large bloody wound appeared on his thigh, which was covered in fluffy white fur. His entire body was covered in blood vessels, and the smell of blood permeated the surroundings. It gave people the feeling of wanting to vomit.
"Brothers, Snow Tiger is dying. If we work harder, we can kill it. At that time, our food and clothing will be secured.”A man who seemed to be the leader seemed to have seen the hope of victory.
However, just as the man was talking, the white tiger suddenly retaliated angrily. The huge beast claw clawed at the man like a gust of wind.
"Big brother, be careful!" A thin man angrily rushed to the side of the so-called big brother and pushed him away.
"No, third brother!"
" Tsk…" The sharp tiger claws slashed across the thin man's head like cutting grass.
"Peng!" In an instant, the skinny man's head exploded like a watermelon.
"Third Brother ~"
"Third Brother!"
The remaining three men roared at the top of their lungs! Cherish each other like brothers, today has lost a person. A wave of anger surged into their chests. The three of them held their swords and surrounded the snow tiger in a triangular formation. At this moment, it wasn't just a matter of money. There was already a blood feud!
"Kill them!" The leader shouted. Immediately after, the three of them leaped three zhang towards the snow tiger. After all, the snow tiger's legs were seriously injured and it was difficult for it to move. It also knew that today, either the intruder would die or it would perish. Thus, Xue Hu decided to use the magic nuclei in his body. A golden light flashed in its body as it sacrificed more than half of the magic core's energy. In an instant, the snow tiger's body doubled in size! At the same time, the three men's long swords just happened to hit the snow tiger's head. The three of them finally realized that they had made the wrong decision when they cut the snow tiger's head.
"Clang ~" The sound of metal being struck rang out from the Snow Tiger's head. This also meant that the attacks of the three of them were useless against the Snow Tiger, who had sacrificed more than half of its magic nuclei.
"Retreat quickly!" The leader knew that he would not be able to kill Xue Hu today. Moreover, it was very likely that he would be killed by it. Even though the three men quickly retreated, it was still too late.
"Roar ~" The snow tiger roared fiercely. Sharp animal teeth could be seen. Obviously, Xue Hu was furious.
The three of them fainted from the roar. Although it was only temporary, it was enough to kill three people.
"Peng! Peng!" The snow tiger's sharp and formless beast claws swiped at the two of them with a tearing roar. Their internal organs were shattered. He was sent flying heavily to the ground.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and didn't wake up. The other person was even more miserable. He was bitten and swallowed alive by the snow beast with its sharp teeth.
"Roar ~" The snow beast roared fiercely and ran away, as if warning the humans of something.
