The next morning, Han Xiao vaguely felt something wriggling on his bed, as if someone was fighting over his blanket. Han Xiao grabbed the blanket, turned over, and continued to sleep. However, he felt something licking his face. Han Xiao touched his face and casually slapped it in front of him. It felt as if he had slapped on a block of ice. It was cold to the touch. When he touched it, it felt quite texture.
Han Xiao opened his eyes, only to see a pair of emerald eyes that were like gemstones sticking to his nose. He tilted his head and looked at him faintly. Han Xiao stared at the pair of mesmerizing eyes for a while before focusing his gaze on the head where the eyes were embedded.
Only then did Han Xiao discover a slightly round triangular head covered with dense and delicate scales that shone with a metallic luster. Through the tongue that was occasionally spitting out and about to hit his face, he could vaguely see a pair of fangs hidden in the mouth.
"Ah…! Snake, what a big snake…!" For a moment, Han Xiao felt as if his three souls and seven spirits had left his body, and his hair stood up from the back of his head to his heels. His hands and feet were weak, and his head was covered in cold sweat. He shouted at the top of his lungs as he scrambled out of the door!
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw his senior sister Ling Long walking into the house. Han Xiao grabbed Ling Long's hand and ran out of the courtyard. As he ran, he shouted incoherently for his master and mistress to save him.
Han Xiao tugged at Exquisite twice but felt that she was not moving. He quickly turned around and shouted,"Senior Sister, run! There's…there's a huge snake in the house…ah!”
Han Xiao would have been fine if he hadn't turned around, but he almost fainted when he did. The snake was circling around Exquisite's shoulder, tilting its head and looking at Han Xiao in a very human-like manner. From time to time, it would even stick out its fiery red tongue. Han Xiao was so frightened that he took two steps back and sat on the ground.
"Exquisite touched the snake with her hand and said to Han Xiao,"You mean Xiao Bai? He just came back this morning. I asked him to wake you up. Why? Did I scare you?"
Looking at his senior sister's expression, Han Xiao still couldn't understand what was going on. However, there was one thing he knew very well, and that was to stay as far away from this snake as possible.
Han Xiao faced the east as he practiced the mental cultivation method that Han Zhitian had taught him. From time to time, he would steal a glance at Little White, who was lying next to his senior sister. Exquisite and Little White seemed to have sensed something and opened their eyes to look at Han Xiao at the same time, scaring Han Xiao so much that he hurriedly turned his head around.
Little White looked at Han Xiao in a human-like manner, then turned around and stuck out its tongue at Exquisite.
Sky-Piercing Peak was very high. Even the place where Han Zhitian and the others lived was only about halfway up the mountain.
Han Xiao raised his head and looked at the stairs in front of him. He followed the curve of the Heaven-Piercing Peak step by step, winding up the peak. He did not feel like he was standing in front of the stairway.
When he came here previously, he did not take a close look at the surrounding environment. If it was not for his senior sister bringing him here, he really would not have noticed that there was actually a path to heaven hidden behind these vines.
"This is the staircase that Father and Uncle Zhong opened. It was only completed two years ago.”Exquisite said.
"Master and the others are really like immortals. It's beyond human power…" Han Xiao said with his mouth agape.
"Tsk ~" Exquisite wrinkled her nose when she heard Han Xiao's words and said disdainfully,""What's so good about being an immortal? Father said before that if there were really immortals, why would they enjoy the incense of the human world but not care about the sufferings of the human world? In this world, the only people who truly treat you well are your relatives."
Han Xiao was stunned when he heard that. That's right, praying to the gods and Buddha all day might not be useful at critical times. Only his relatives were his support.
"Alright, Junior Brother, don't be in a daze. Our training in the morning is to climb this Sky-Piercing Peak. "Daddy said that this is a good way to train your waist and legs, balance, and coordinate with your body. Let's go," Exquisite said and took the lead to walk up the stairs in front of her.
"What?" Han Xiao was stunned. He raised his head to look at the Heaven Piercing Peak that was shrouded in clouds and mist, and his head began to spin.
"Junior Brother, pay attention to the rhythm of your breathing and the balance of your waist and legs. Don't look to the side. It's your first time climbing the Sky-piercing Peak. That will affect your mental strength. After all, this Sky-piercing Peak is too high. You really can't find a higher peak within a thousand miles."
Under Ling Long's guidance, Han Xiao followed behind his senior sister and climbed the Sky-piercing Peak. Exquisite walked in front of Han Xiao, swinging her arms as she climbed up step by step. Her posture looked a little funny, but after a while, Han Xiao realized that Exquisite seemed to be following some rhythm. She was not like him, who was panting after climbing for a while.
Han Xiao looked at his senior sister's appearance and shook off his arms as he followed her steps. He felt like he was imitating her.
At first, it was fine, but after about half an incense worth of time, Han Xiao suddenly felt his chest tighten and his breath short. His legs swayed and he was about to fall to the side.
There was a steep hillside beside him. The hillside was covered with bushes. If he fell down, even if he didn't fall into pieces, at least his bones and tendons would be broken. Han Xiao couldn't help but feel terrified.
At this moment, Han Xiao felt a white shadow flash past him. It was as if his waist had been swept by a stick. By the time he came to his senses, he realized that he was lying on the stairs.
Han Xiao raised his head and saw that his senior sister was looking back at him with a smile. He could not help but blush.
Exquisite smiled and said," Junior Brother, you only learned my posture. In fact, the rhythm of breathing is the most important. You haven't found the sense of qi yet, so you will be short of breath if you follow my footsteps for a while.”
Han Xiao's face was red. He bowed to Exquisite and said,""Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister. Thank you for saving me.”
Exquisite was shocked. She dodged to the side and blushed. She said in embarrassment,"I'm not the one who saved you. I don't have such good skills now. The one who saved you is Little White. It's right behind you."
Han Xiao turned around and saw that the white snake was coiled on the rock beside the stairs behind him. It stood up and stuck out its fiery red tongue at him.
Han Xiao's head tightened, and he sat down on the steps behind him. Exquisite laughed out loud.
After Exquisite finished laughing, she said to Han Xiao,""Do you think father and mother are so assured to let us climb the Heaven Piercing Peak? Little White is very powerful. It has always been accompanying me. Otherwise, I would have been bored to death by facing Uncle Zhong all day. Xiaobai is very cute."
Xiao Bai listened from the side and nodded in a humane manner, causing Han Xiao to stare blankly.
Although Han Xiao could not accept the fact that Little White was cute, it was an indisputable fact that it had saved him once. Han Xiao stood up and bowed to Little White." Thank…Thank you for saving me, Little White…"
After Little White heard this, it seemed to be quite pleased with itself. It wagged its tail at Han Xiao and Exquisite in a very human-like manner.
After resting for a while, Han Xiao got up and climbed up the Sky-Piercing Peak again. This time, Han Xiao was no longer anxious about the speed of climbing. Instead, he searched for his own coordination step by step.
Along the way, Han Xiao learned that Ling Long had been climbing the Heaven Piercing Peak for three years. Han Xiao also learned that Exquisite's cultivation method was mainly taught by her master's wife. For some reason, he heard from his senior sister that his master rarely taught her cultivation. However, his master had always been very strict with his senior sister in terms of knowledge.
He watched as Ling Long jumped several steps in one leap. In order to wait for him, his Senior Sister would jump back every ten meters and repeat the same process.
Her senior sister said that if she walked in the same way as she did, then the cultivation she completed would definitely be less than when she climbed the Sky-Piercing Peak alone. She was not willing to do such a lazy thing.
Looking at his senior sister flying up and down like a butterfly, Han Xiao couldn't help but be envious. He didn't know when he would be able to be like his senior sister.
After climbing for about four hours, the sun had already slanted towards the sky, but Han Xiao still couldn't see the peak of Heaven-Piercing Peak.
At this moment, Exquisite looked up at the sky and hopped onto a rock beside the stairs. She reached out to Han Xiao and said,""Shidi, come over here and rest.”
Han Xiao was puzzled for a moment. He stretched out his hand and asked his senior sister to pull him up. When he looked up, he suddenly understood. It turned out that there were a few stone slabs next to the stone. At the end of the stone slabs was a pavilion. The pavilion was not big and could only accommodate four or five people.
Han Xiao walked into the pavilion and sat down on the ground. Exquisite saw Han Xiao like this and said,"Junior brother, meditating now will have the best effect. Don't be lazy.”
After saying that, Ling Long sat down on a stone platform and closed her eyes to meditate.
Seeing this, Han Xiao hurriedly sat cross-legged on the stone steps like his senior sister and recalled the mental cultivation method his master had taught him.
Han Xiao controlled his breathing, suddenly recalling the inner vision technique that his master had taught him last night, and silently activated it.
For a moment, Han Xiao felt as if his consciousness had fallen into chaos. Then, his consciousness was divided into black and white colors, and there were some gray and unclear veins in the black and white colors.
Han Xiao's consciousness moved along these meridians. This process seemed to be very long, but it soon came to an end.
Veins of different sizes were crisscrossed in a black and gray world. Han Xiao's consciousness followed these veins to the source. These meridians finally gathered in a vast space that was like chaos.
Han Xiao did not understand what was going on. He wanted to go in and see what was inside the chaos, but this chaos seemed to be locked. His consciousness was bounced back the moment he touched it.
Han Xiao's body shook. He opened his eyes and walked out of his meditation. Seeing his senior sister Linglong looking at him curiously, Han Xiao said to her,"Senior Sister, you've rested so quickly?”
Exquisite slapped her forehead and shouted at Han Xiao,""It's still fast! You've been meditating for more than an hour. I clearly feel that there's no aura in your body. Why haven't you woken up from your meditation?”
Han Xiao scratched his head, wondering why his senior sister had said that it had only been a moment. He told Exquisite about the situation in his body.
Exquisite tapped her forehead with her finger and asked,""Back then, I used a few days to search for qi and open up my qi sea. Mother said that my aptitude is very good.
I remember that at that time, I directly operated my mental cultivation method every day. In the end, I opened up my qi sea and nurtured my qi sea spring. I can't tell what's going on with your situation. You can go back and ask your father. Father has his reasons for teaching you this way.”
Han Xiao nodded. He stood up and looked at the sea of clouds in the distance."Master treats me like a son, so he naturally won't harm me. It's useless to think too much now. Senior Sister, are we still climbing up?”
