For Xia Yan's disappreciation, Xia Zixin was still a little lost in her heart, she felt that Xia Yan not only wanted to save face, but also was not as natural to herself as before. After all, it was a piece of her kindness. But unexpectedly, a good heart, but not accepted, Xia Zixin bit her bright red lips, and immediately dispelled the distracting thoughts that suddenly popped out of her heart.

Leaving through a back door in the Xia family's house, Xia Yan bought a whole package of baked cakes on a nearby street, spending a total of fifty copper coins. After that, he walked out of the north gate of Yushui City and walked briskly towards Yushui Mountain.

Yushui Mountain is not far from Yushui City, out of the north gate, travel more than ten miles to the foot of the mountain. Xia Yan had been to Yushui Mountain several times before, so he was familiar with the road.

"I'm in the Xia family, although no one usually looks for me, but I can meditate more when I cultivate in the mountains alone. ”

In order to be able to cultivate with peace of mind and not be disturbed, Xia Yan decided to go to Yushui Mountain to cultivate quietly.

"Perhaps, one day, after I open one martial arts meridian in my body, I will be able to quickly open up the remaining one hundred and seven martial arts meridians......! I don't believe I'm a waste!" Xia Yan thought as he walked briskly into his heart, the resolute light in his eyes flashing.

In fact, it is precisely because of such a never-say-die belief and the will to never give up that Xia Yan has never given up without any progress for ten years.

By evening, Xia Yan had already arrived at a peak in Yushui Mountain. This Yushui Mountain is not high, there are some shrubs and jungles growing on the mountain, and occasionally you can see some ordinary beasts. However, to the north of Yushui Mountain, there is a long and narrow passage. At the end of the passage is the rumored worst forest of sin.

Xia Yan found a place in the mountains near the stream and could shelter from the wind and rain, and found a lot of licorice and firewood around to spread it around, and prepared for cultivation. In the past, Xia Yan had also seen in some books that there were some powerful cultivators who liked tranquility and cultivated alone in the mountains, and what he did today was just to emulate those people.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Xia Yan spent a week on the mountain, Xia Yan ate the dry food brought out from the city every day and drank the sweet stream water in the mountain, but in cultivation, there was still no progress.

"Why ......"

Under the moonlight, Xia Yan's lonely figure sat on the grass, facing the moonlight, his eyes were dull, and he said.

"Mother ......" Looking at the starry sky, Xia Yan only felt exhausted all over, these days, he only slept for two or three hours a day. The muscles of the whole body seem to be twisted together, and the feeling of soreness and numbness comes into my mind, and I really want to sleep well!

"Those twinkling stars, are they my mother's eyes? Mom, they have been looking at me!" Xia Yan looked at the vast starry sky, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"I won't give up!" Finally, Xia Yan gritted his teeth and sat up from the ground suddenly.

"Roar~"

At this moment, suddenly, a roar of a fierce beast came from behind Xia Yan. Xia Yan was startled in his heart, and immediately calmed down, turned around at a very fast speed, and took out a dagger from his boots.

A colorful tiger was staring at Xia Yan with red eyes, and the tiger was only three or four meters away from Xia Yan at this time. All it takes is one pounce, and Xia Yan will be directly attacked.

"Damn, why didn't I even notice it when it was so close? This Yushui Mountain, there is such a big and fierce tiger!" Xia Yan felt a little bitter in his heart, he lost his mind just now, and he didn't even notice that the tiger was near. If the tiger hadn't suddenly let out a loud roar when it was facing away just now, but pounced directly, Xia Yan would have been injured or even killed.

His eyes were fixed on the tiger, Xia Yan clenched the dagger in his hand, and his body remained motionless.

The patterned tiger shook its head, and its huge claws slapped heavily on the ground, and suddenly the stone under the claws of a stone was cracked open, making a 'snap' sound.

"Come on, brute!" Xia Yan's muscles tensed all over his body, his eyes shot a fierce light, and he roared.

As if he understood Xia Yan's provocative voice, the colorful tiger was as hairy as a steel needle, and its huge body full of strength leaned over to make a jumping posture, and then pounced towards Xia Yan at an astonishing speed. At a distance of three or four meters, he arrived in front of Xia Yan in just an instant. Xia Yan kicked hard with his left foot, and his body quickly rolled to the right side of his body, Xia Yan moved quickly, but the speed of the tiger was faster. The tiger's claws slapped on Xia Yan's left shoulder, and blood flowed like a torrent of blood.

Fortunately, Xia Yan has been exercising for the past few years, and the muscles of his whole body are like rocks, otherwise he would have been unable to dodge by the fierce pounce of the tiger just now.

Xia Yan took a look at the wound on his left arm, it was very long, but it was not deep, and the red blood continued to flow down his arm.

Smelling the bloody gas, the patterned tiger became even more crazy, quickly twisted his body and faced Xia Yan again, his iron rod-like tail twitched the ground fiercely, and his body flew up again, this time he pounced on Xia Yan at a speed faster than just now.

"Roar~"

With a roar, the entire mountain forest shook.

Xia Yan was unusually calm, squatted down suddenly, lay on the ground, and stabbed the dagger up with all his strength at the last moment.

"Wow~", the sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh.

The belly of a tiger is the most vulnerable part of the body.

"Brute, die!"

"Roar~" The tiger wailed, its copper bell-like eyes burst into crimson light, its body twitched wildly before it fell, and its claws flicked in the air a few times in a row.

"Poof~" The huge body of hundreds of catties was ruthlessly pressed down above Xia Yan's body, and even the hard rocky ground was shaken.

There was silence, only the mountain wind blew from which direction, with a cool air of the mountains. After a long time, the tiger, which was lying motionless on the ground, suddenly moved.

"Huhu~" Then, a heavy wheezing sound came out, and the huge body of the patterned tiger was overturned, Xia Yan crawled out from below in a green shirt, and sat on the tiger's body and gasped fiercely for a while.

After a long while, Xia Yan stood up from the tiger, and his gaze slowly shifted from the tiger's tail to the tiger's head.

"Luck, if you didn't stab just now, it's over!" Xia Yan recalled the fight just now, it was really dangerous, if that knife didn't stab the tiger, then the one who died now would definitely not be the tiger, but him Xia Yan. Those sharp claws can easily tear open Xia Yan's belly! Sharp teeth can bite off Xia Yan's neck with one bite.

"Huh?" Xia Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong, this feeling was close to an intuition. At this point, he felt as if something was looking at him.

Xia Yan calmed down, stood motionless, pricked up his ears and wanted to listen carefully, he wanted to hear if there was a sound of breathing. Xia Yan's sense of hearing is very sensitive.

However, after the time of tea, Xia Yan was a little disappointed. There was no sound here except for the gust of mountain wind.

"Could it be my delusion?" Xia Yan couldn't help but whisper.

"Boy, it's not an illusion!" Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Xia Yan, Xia Yan jumped violently, his face turned blue in an instant, and his whole body turned around quickly at three hundred and sixty degrees. Because this sudden sound almost sounded in his ears.

Xia Yan quickly turned his face, and there was another face in his eyes, which was almost attached to his face.

"Ah~" exclaimed, Xia Yan was shocked, and took three steps back before falling to the ground.

At this time, Xia Yan saw this person clearly.

With a gray beard, messy hair, a snow-white robe, and bright eyes, he looked sixty or seventy years old, but his face was full of red. At this time, his eyes were wide open, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he was staring curiously at Xia Yan who was sitting on the ground, with a smile on his face.
