The sky is slightly gray, but there is no sunlight penetrating, this deep mountain stream, except for the noon, the occasional sunshine falls, this place is a good summer resort in summer.

On the steep and hard mountain wall, a white skeleton kept climbing towards the stone wall, and it never stopped from about four o'clock in the morning. Sweat was oozing from between the bones, how much effort would it take for a skeleton that wasn't supposed to sweat to reach this level?

Feeling the cool breeze around him and caressing his tired body, Ye Yang fell down from the mountain wall again.

"Haha"

There was no longer a sound of complaining, but after Ye Yang fell, he laughed heartily. A pair of eyes were raised high, scanning the peak in front of him, this mountain that he would one day climb on his hands and feet.

"I can already climb up to 10 meters." Ye Yang said with some joy.

"Well, it's not enough." Xuan Lao's words rarely sounded again, and during this period, when Ye Yang was bored and cultivated, Xuan Lao never said a word at all.

"But the physical exertion is too fast, and if you persist for two hours, it is already the limit." Ye Yang said a little helplessly: "It seems that I need to rest for a while before practicing." ”

"Well, let's breathe your own mystical power."

Hearing this, Ye Yang hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground, and then calmed down and began to look inwardly at the power of the Xuan in his state of mind, slowly running and stabilizing the power of the state of mind, and began to ripple slightly, Ye Yang found that after such a large amount of exercise, the power of the Xuan seemed to be much more active than usual, and the confidence of the power of the Xuan seemed to be more than before.

"Not much has changed." Half an hour later, Ye Yang said helplessly.

"Just for a short time, how big do you want to be, cultivation needs to be rooted step by step, how can it be so easy to reach the sky in one step."

Ye Yang agreed and nodded secretly.

"Brother!"

At this moment, there was a shout from behind. Ye Yang knew that it was Zi Ning, and immediately turned his head and beckoned to Zi Ning: "Hey, are you awake?" ”

Seeing that it was really Ye Yang in front of her, Zi Ning was a lot more relieved, and jumped towards Ye Yang while running, and when she passed by the mountain spring, she simply walked barefoot from the small stream, and the cool stream gently kissed Zi Ning's feet, so that Zi Ning, who had been tired for several days, couldn't help but scream.

"Haha brother, this water is too cold." Zining girl smiled playfully, but she didn't mean to walk towards Ye Yang again.

Ye Yang shook his head helplessly, suddenly feeling a little hungry, and planned to get some real things.

"Yikes! Fish! Brother, there are so many fish in the water! Zi Ning suddenly shouted excitedly.

Hearing this, Ye Yang got up and walked quickly towards the stream, looking for it in the water, sure enough, there were a lot of frolicking fish, but the only fly in the ointment was that there were no big fish that could eat, could it be that in this shallow stream, there were all small goldfish?

Raising his eyes, Ye Yang inadvertently found Zi Ning's sluggish and shocked expression, and following his line of sight, Ye Yang found that where Zi Ning could see, his shadow was slowly condensing on the surface of the stream that was gradually returning to calm.

It was the appearance of an unkempt and dirty young man, the years did not take away his face, but made him a clay man, his long hair was dragged to the ground, his face was tightly covered, although he was naked, but the reflection in the water was only a little bit of the upper body close to the head, just these, you could see the dirt on Ye Yang's skin, layer by layer.

"That's what I look like now, I can't regain my human form, but I can reflect it in the water, alas," Ye Yang sighed: "It's been more than a thousand years since I have been able to take a bath comfortably." ”

"Eleven thousand years?" Zi Ning asked tentatively to confirm that Ye Yang was not wrong.

Ye Yang didn't hide it, and smiled: "Yes, fifteen hundred years, brother, I was from fifteen hundred years ago, but I just crawled out of the ground not long ago, isn't it incredible?" ”

"Huh?" Zi Ningmei's eyes were full of surprise, and her eyes were confused: "I can't believe it, but my brother will definitely not lie to me." But fifteen hundred years later, your bones should have rotted long ago, I've only heard of the legendary Xuanshen, and only after death can a complete skeleton be left, but Xuanshen generally doesn't die so easily. ”

"Xuanshen?" Ye Yang was a little messy, he couldn't fight with the Xuanshen Eight Poles, that was the pinnacle of cultivators, and no one could care about that realm at all. "In this world, it seems that there has never been a god-level god yet."

"No, for thousands of years, there has been a Xuan Emperor, and he paid with his life for creating the Xuan Realm."

"Well, I've heard of that." Ye Yang said lightly. After a slight pause, he spoke again: "Zining, are you hungry?" ”

Hearing this, Zi Ning nodded embarrassedly and said, "Although I am a girl, I like to eat meat so much." ”

"Huh? Can you eat meat and maintain such a good figure? Ye Yang was taken aback.

"Yes, Master said that cultivators should eat more meat, especially the meat of high-level fierce beasts, after eating it, they will strengthen their physique, and as for the fat and thin body, there is no need to worry about it at all." Zi Ning spoke confidently at this time, and she didn't mean to be embarrassed at all because she liked to eat meat.

Ye Yang smiled, looked at Zi Ning who pouted with a little meaning, took out the wild boar meat that was kept when going up the mountain from the copper ring, and said, "Oh, take this and process it, will you?" ”

When Zi Ning heard this, she immediately took out a delicate dagger from the dark green ring, and carefully jumped the piece of boar meat up, for fear of getting on herself. I can't help but sigh: "Nizi, who likes to eat meat, are you still afraid that meat will touch your body?" ”

Zi Ning pouted, and said with some dissatisfaction: "If you like to eat meat, you should also pay attention to hygiene, don't worry, I will process it well!" ”

With that, Zining stepped on the stream and trotted back to the opposite bank.

Looking at Zi Ning's back, thinking about her protesting look before, and the last sentence, Ye Yang always felt weird, can this Nizi really handle it well? I don't know if what will be eaten in my mouth later, it will be a wild boar, or Ye Yang will not dare to think about it anymore, as long as there is no danger to his life, he can eat anything.

After thinking about it, Ye Yang turned around and walked towards the mountain wall, wanting to climb again, but unexpectedly, Xuan Lao actually stopped him.

"That's right, the most basic criterion for a cultivator is to be able to eat!"

"What?" Ye Yang was immediately stunned, and asked in horror, "Can you eat it?" ”

"That's right!" Xuan Lao said in an undeniable tone: "You must be able to eat, especially a strange guy like you who only has bones left, you must be very able to eat." The flesh of those fierce beasts must be eaten at least once a day. ”

"One head?" Ye Yang was not calm for a moment, and immediately asked, "Do you mean a fierce beast as big as a rabbit?" ”

"That's enough, at least the size of a boar, otherwise you won't have the strength to climb the mountain." It's so decided, in the future, in the spare time, go hunting around, there are a lot of fierce beasts inhabiting here, from the first order to the third order abound, and there are shadows of fourth-order fierce beasts a little farther away, I just don't know if there are fifth-order fierce beasts in this foothill. Xuan Lao said these words very calmly and calmly, but Ye Yang was already scorched by the thunder on the outside and tender on the inside.

"I'll eat a boar alone? Will I be able to finish eating? There are so many first, second, and third-order fierce beasts nearby, isn't that the danger of their lives at any time? The second-order beasts are already capable of killing me. Ye Yang was not discouraged when he spoke, but he didn't understand Xuan Lao's approach. At the same time, he finally understood one thing, that is, why Zining Nanazi ate meat but didn't gain weight, it was because she didn't need to eat a boar a day!

No way, man, man just has to endure in silence.

"Figured it out?" Xuan Lao asked a little proudly.

"Well, I've figured it out, I'd better finish eating." Ye Yang compromised, but did not make any guarantees.

"It's best to eat raw, raw is nutritious."

"Get out!"

Xuan Lao: ""

After climbing between the mountain walls for another half an hour, Zi Ning's voice sounded again, but at this time, Zi Ning also saw the scene of Ye Yang climbing the mountain wall, and immediately became curious, not knowing why Ye Yang made this move.

He walked briskly, carrying a black object in his hand.

"Bang!"

Ye Yang fell to the ground again without any suspense, and Zi Ning happened to come to Ye Yang's side and stood on top of Ye Yang's head. Ye Yang just lay on the ground, looking at Zi Ning at this angle, and smirked.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Zi Ning couldn't help but ask.

"Hehehe, cultivation!" Ye Yang got up, scratched his bare skull, and replied with a smirk.

"Such a cultivation?" Zi Ning was puzzled again, but he knew that what Ye Yang did must have his reasons, so he didn't plan to ask more, he just handed the black thing in his hand to Ye Yang, and said with some embarrassment: "This, it's processed." ”

Ye Yang took the black thing with some hesitation, and he couldn't tell whether it was coke or boar, and smiled reluctantly: "Well, the craftsmanship is good, keep up the good work." ”

"Woo~ Brother, I didn't expect the food I made to be so unpalatable." Zining is finally no longer stubborn, indeed, this thing doesn't look delicious, and it can't be eaten at all.

"No, my brother thinks it's delicious." Saying that, Ye Yang naively wanted to tear off a piece with his hands and put it in his mouth to chew, but Ye Yang found that he was wrong, very wrong, this boar has become charcoal, and it can't be torn apart without a lot of effort.

Silently operating the power of some immortals, Ye Yang tore off a small piece with a little force, but his face was flat, and then stuffed the wild boar meat into his mouth.

"Squeak~"

It's actually crispy! Ye Yang exclaimed in his heart, and then the smell of coke came from his mouth. The taste was fiercely resistant, and Ye Yang was reluctant to swallow it in his stomach, but when his eyes stayed on Zi Ning's face, Ye Yang had no choice but to swallow it with difficulty, and while rolling his eyes, he praised it: "It's delicious, it's delicious in the world!" ”
