The Yunwu Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, with verdant mountains and numerous peaks. There are countless cliffs, mountain streams, canyons, and caves. There are countless strange birds and animals living in them. Even highly skilled warriors do not dare to set foot in the hinterland of the mountain easily.
I saw a waterfall like a jade belt hanging down from between the dangerous peaks. The water fell hundreds of feet and turned into raindrops flying all over the sky. They scattered in a bottomless pool at the foot of the mountain, causing endless ripples.
There is a huge rock standing beside the pool, and a young man is sitting cross-legged on it.
He looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a handsome figure and sharp eyebrows, and a resolute face with a bit of childishness.
The boy's upper body is red, and under his light bronze skin, his well-defined muscles are as solid as cast iron. They are flawless and contain powerful power. It is absolutely amazing!
His name is Qin Yun, and he is from Shangye Village five miles away. He comes to the waterhole every afternoon to exercise his body and practice martial arts. For the past ten years, he has never stopped no matter the wind, frost, rain or snow.
It's just that at this moment, Qin Yun's heart is far less peaceful than on the surface.
He began to exercise and practice martial arts at the age of five, and practiced hard for ten years. With his outstanding talent and innate perseverance, he reached the ninth level of physical exercise a year ago, and passed down the red flame from his family.
Cultivation of the Heart Art to the second level of Yanghuo Triple Layer!
There are like clouds of warriors in the vast Jiuzhou. Their strength is divided into five realms: physical training, qi refining, innate, transforming power, and magical power. Each realm contains the minor realm of the Nine Heavens.
Qin Yun has a family background in martial arts. He has practiced internal and external training since he was a child. Now, both his muscles, bones, skin, and flesh and blood meridians have been tempered to the point where he can withstand the impact of true energy. The true energy in his dantian is strong and solid, but he has never been able to break through the bottleneck and open the meridians.
Refining Qi.
It is a qualitative leap from the physical training state to the Qi refining state. Only when you reach the latter can you truly embark on the path of martial arts. How can you not be a little impetuous in a young man with great ambitions after being stuck at the pass for a whole year?
Taking a deep breath of turbid air, Qin Yun slowly closed his eyes, expelled all distracting thoughts from his mind, and urged the red flame true energy accumulated in the qi sea dantian to rush towards the martial arts.
Wu Mai, also known as Qi Mai, is a special meridians that circulates true Qi.
Not everyone has the martial arts. Only those who have the martial arts can practice the Nei Jin Xin Jue and condense the true energy. If people without the martial arts practice martial arts, they will only reach the ninth level of body training.
Martial arts also vary from person to person, and are divided into different types and grades. Some people are extremely talented and can advance a thousand miles in practice, while others have mediocre qualifications and cannot break through to high-level realms no matter how hard they try.
Qin Yun's martial arts veins are strong and tough, and his aptitude is top-notch, but for some reason, no matter how hard he tries, he can't open his veins and channel his energy.
The so-called opening of the meridians refers to the movement of the true energy to open the martial arteries, direct the true energy from the Dantian to the limbs and head, and then penetrate the meridians of the whole body. This is the most important condition for promotion to the Qi Refining Realm.
If you can't open your pulse, no matter how good your talent is, you can't become a truly strong person.
With the operation of the Heart Technique, three flame-shaped true energy masses quickly formed in Qin Yun's sea of energy. They rotated rapidly, merged together in the blink of an eye, and turned into a beam of true energy that hit the martial arteries connected to Dantian.
Like thousands of previous efforts, Qin Yun's true energy met with stubborn resistance from the martial arts, and after advancing a few inches, he could no longer break through.
Soon, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Part of the true energy condensed in his Dantian was consumed when it impacted his martial veins, while the other part dispersed into his limbs and bones.
The Red Flame Heart Technique is a first-class basic internal energy method. The Red Flame True Qi cultivated is fierce and fierce. Since Qin Yun has not yet opened his pulse, the released True Qi cannot be controlled and absorbed, causing an impact on his body.
Qin Yun's skin turned red, and his whole body looked like a cooked prawn. The sweat turned into gas before it even seeped out of his pores, and his internal organs felt like they were on fire.
If he didn't have a strong physique tempered by ten years of training, the dissipated red flame energy would be enough to kill him!
After persisting for a whole stick of incense, when the epidermal skin developed slight cracks due to being too dry, Qin Yun reluctantly gave up his efforts to open the pulse for countless times.
Opening his eyes, he shook his head helplessly, stood up, and jumped into the pool with a beautiful leap.
When entering the water, there was no splash at all!
The icy-cold pool water immediately completely submerged Qin Yun, instantly absorbing the heat from his skin, and he immediately felt sober and comfortable.
The cold water pool at the foot of Yunwu Mountain is not large, but it is quite peculiar. It never overflows no matter how much rain it rains, and it never dries up even in drought years.
The water in the pool was extremely cold. No one from Shangye Village dared to swim or play in the pool, because all those who dared to do so sank into the pool and died.
Qin Yun is an exception.
The Red Flame Heart Technique he practiced has extremely strong inflammatory power. Unless he takes special medicine to temper it, long-term practice will cause certain damage to the body.
However, the Hantantan water can neutralize the inflammatory power of the Red Flame Heart Technique. Qin Yun also discovered its benefits accidentally, so he came to Hantan every afternoon to practice the Heart Technique.
In fact, the fact that he can practice the Red Flame Heart Technique to the third level of Yanghuo has a lot to do with Hantan.
After spitting out a string of bubbles in the water, Qin Yun stretched out his arms and legs and dived deep into Hantan.
The further down, the colder and darker the Hantan becomes, and the huge pressure that comes with it is unbearable. However, Qin Yun has become accustomed to adapting to it over the years, so he continues to dive without caring.
The cold power and pressure of Tan Shui were a test for his mind, body, and Chi Yan Qi. Qin Yun once dived to a depth of more than tens of feet in Tan Shui.
But today's pulse opening failed again, which made him hold back an evil fire in his heart. He couldn't help but want to push his limits and see if he could explore the deepest part of Han Tan.
Several foot-long herrings swam leisurely by him. Hantan was not a restricted area for life. There were many fish living in it, and they all tasted extremely delicious.
Just when Qin Yun was about to catch the fish, the herrings around him suddenly seemed to be frightened by something, and they shook their tails violently and fled in all directions.
A black shadow suddenly appeared near Qin Yun, silently and very fast.
A herring that didn't choose its path happened to run into it head-on. It couldn't dodge and was swallowed by the black shadow with its mouth wide open!
But Qin Yun was not surprised at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his face, and he reached out and waved to the black shadow.
The black shadow quickly came close to him, and it turned out to be a huge carp that was seven or eight feet long.
It touched Qin Yun's arm lightly with its long carp whiskers, and the palm-sized dark red scales on the fish's body shone with cold light in the pond water.
Qin Yun reached out and touched its slippery head, looking very affectionate.
This red carp is the overlord in Hantan. He has lived for an unknown number of years and is very spiritual.
Every time Qin Yun sneaks into Han Tan, Chi Li will always come to play with him, adding a bit of fun to his boring training life.
After playing for a while, Qin Yun continued to dive towards the bottom of the pool.
The red carp accompanied him all the way until Qin Yun dived to a depth of about thirty feet, then reluctantly turned around and left.
But Qin Yun did not stop, he wanted to test his limit.
At this depth, the pressure of the pool water is already very high, but it is still within Qin Yun's tolerance.
There are no fish around. Although sunlight cannot reach such a deep place, there are many floating algae in the water. They emit a little bit of light, allowing Qin Yun to barely see clearly the scene within ten feet of the surrounding area.
.
After diving down for another dozen feet, Qin Yun felt the real pressure.
The cold power of the pool overwhelmed the remaining red flame energy in his body, and the joints of his body made a fine crackling sound due to the external force crushing him.
It's almost there! Although he still hasn't reached the bottom of the pool, Qin Yun knows that this is almost his limit.
The invading cold force made him so clear-headed that he would not do anything stupid that would cost him his life.
However, just as Qin Yun was about to turn around and surface, he suddenly noticed something in the corner of his eye at his lower left side.
This discovery made his heart move. He adjusted his posture slightly and used his eyesight to look carefully. He found that there was a group of things emitting a faint brilliance deeper, but it was so hazy that he could not see its true appearance.
What is that? Qin Yun's curiosity immediately aroused.
After all, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy. Although he knew it was very dangerous here, he couldn't help his inner impulse and took the risk to swim towards the mass of things, wanting to find out the truth.
After diving for seven or eight feet, Qin Yun finally saw clearly that the glowing thing turned out to be a strange gem the size of a duck egg!
Its surface is round, and it constantly changes color, from red to cyan, shining brightly, and it is extremely beautiful and eye-catching when half buried in the black mud.
Around the gem, there is a half-covered, half-exposed gray-white human skeleton!
Judging from its position, this gem was placed on the sternum, as if it was being held by skeletal hands.
Qin Yun couldn't help but open his eyes wide. He didn't expect that he had reached the bottom of Han Tan and found such a thing.
However, the painful groans coming from the bones in his body and the chill that penetrated his body reminded Qin Yun that his current situation was not good.
Without having time to think about it, Qin Yun gritted his teeth, stretched out his arms and kicked his legs and swam towards the gem.
The pressure in the pool suddenly increased. Qin Yun felt his eyes go dark, and traces of blood overflowed from his mouth, nose, and ears, but his fingers touched the colorful gem.
A strange feeling came from his fingertips. He grabbed the gem firmly in his hand and turned around to swim upstream with his last bit of strength.
After floating up to more than ten feet in one breath, the pressure in the pool was greatly reduced, but the fire power of the true energy in Qin Yun's body had been exhausted, and he was frozen stiff by the invading cold power.
What's even more frightening is that his legs actually cramped at this time!
The tremendous pain and the chill that overwhelmed his whole body were intertwined, finally destroying Qin Yun's last will.
