Although the name of the city is watery, it is also a harbor city, but in fact, there are several seemingly majestic mountains near the area where it is located.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was in one of the mountains and forests called Hanshan.

This cold mountain is the closest mountain to Hanshui City, but this mountain has only one peak, and the relative height is about 400 meters. Compared to the other nearby mountains, which are more than a kilometer above sea level, this mountain can only be regarded as shabby.

However, Hanshan also has an advantage that other mountains cannot match, that is, the mountain range is long.

According to the old residents of Hanshui City, the mountains of Hanshan stretch for more than 10,000 miles, spanning the two states of Hanzhou and Jingzhou. Such a continuous length naturally gave birth to countless creatures and fed several cities, towns and villages near this mountain, especially the area on the side of Gyeongju.

It stands to reason that such a mountain must have a leyline.

The reason why mountains, rivers, lakes and seas are famous is because of psychic, and the reason why they are psychic is because they contain a large amount of heaven and earth aura.

And the earth veins are the spiritual veins formed by the precipitation of these heaven and earth spiritual qi over hundreds or even thousands of years. The leyline is not only born in high mountains, it may also be born in rivers, lakes and seas, or even in a region.

Most of the so-called outstanding people and spirits are also derived from the causes of the earth's leylines.

On the Tian Yuan Continent, most of the mountain gates of those sects were selected in places where there were leylines. Because the aura emitted by the leylines is extremely abundant, it can speed up the cultivation speed of cultivators, which is not much better than the so-called Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

However, the "Mountains and Rivers Formula" that Ye Xuan cultivated was not so simple.

If it was just to absorb the aura emitted by the earth's leylines, it would be impossible for "Mountains and Rivers Jue" to become a heaven-level exercise.

What this "Mountains and Rivers Jue" cultivates is to directly absorb a leyline, and incorporate the aura contained in the leyline into itself to transform its own meridians.

And because the earth veins are the natural incarnations of heaven and earth, containing a trace of Xuanhuang true qi, if a cultivator succeeds in refining a total of twenty meridians of the twelve righteous meridians and the eight meridians of the strange meridians, he will exude a sense of calmness between his gestures, and it will naturally be easier to communicate with the momentum of heaven and earth.

And in addition to this, there are other benefits to cultivating the "Mountains and Rivers Technique".

Because the meridians in the body have been transformed into an existence similar to the earth veins, when the cultivator uses the martial arts, the aura attracted will not be wasted in the slightest, which ensures that the cultivator has stronger power and more lasting combat power than the opponent when facing the enemy.

In addition, the leylines are transformed by the aura of heaven and earth, and the cultivator's absorption and invocation of aura will be significantly faster than others.

Of course, there are some differences between this kind of fastness. If the opponent is also practicing the heaven-level Qi Induction Technique, no matter how fast it is, it will not be able to go anywhere.

It's just that the leylines are not easy to be born, and although the master who created the "Mountains and Rivers Jue" has a peculiar idea, he also knows how to leave a glimmer of life, so although this exercise is to absorb the leylines, it will still leave a little vein source. After thousands of years of precipitation, a new vein will still be born, and it will not cut off the pulse of a region.

However, Ye Xuan, who was in the cold mountains at the moment, had a bit of confusion on his face.

He slowly closed his eyes, and then opened them again, a touch of gold appeared in the pupils in his eyes, but the scene that Ye Xuan saw in front of him was no longer the scene of the cold mountain, but was replaced by a white mist.

"How can this be?" Ye Xuan's eyes had a golden glow that faded, but his brows were furrowed, "The Pulse Observation Technique actually failed?

Pulse Observation is a kind of visualization technique prepared by the "Mountains and Rivers Jue" for cultivators.

With the help of this secret technique, cultivators can easily see if a region contains leylines.

Under the effect of the Pulse Observation Technique, the area containing the leylines will emit a long strip of red and yellow color. If the leyline is old enough, the reddish and yellow will be darker, and the strip will be longer and thicker.

However, among the several mountains near Cold Water City, when Ye Xuan used this pulse observation technique, he did not find any earthly veins.

And this cold mountain was Ye Xuan's final destination, but when he came to this cold mountain to perform the pulse observation technique, what he saw was a white mist, which was completely different from what he usually saw. If there are no leylines, then what you see under the Pulse Observation Technique is no different from what you usually see with the naked eye.

However, Hanshan presented another peculiar situation, and the pulse observation technique was completely blocked.

If there is any sect above the cold that has set up a mountain gate here, then it is still understandable that he can still understand that he has set up a strange array and suppressed the earth's leylines for the sect's use, and Ye Xuan can't check the situation by using the pulse observation technique.

But on this cold mountain, there is nothing, everything is no different from a normal mountain range, although the aura of heaven and earth is indeed more abundant than other mountains and forests. But these auras are clearly floating around and are not being utilized, and this is clearly a borderless place.

Ye Xuan had to be surprised: if it was a borderless land, how could the pulse observation technique fail?

Stopping the use of the pulse observation technique, Ye Xuan's vision returned to a normal state.

He glanced around, but found nothing unusual, and after hesitating for a moment, he chose to continue up the mountain.

At this moment, Ye Xuan's location was at the foot of the mountain, and since he couldn't see whether the cold mountain contained the earth's veins here, he decided to go deep into the cold mountain to check it out before making a decision. After all, the current Cold Mountain is Ye Xuan's last hope, if there is no leyline here, then his cultivation progress may have some twists and turns.

And what Ye Xuan hates the most is twists and turns, accidents and other words.

There are three irreversible processes in a cultivator's life.

The first is the foundation laying stage between the ages of eight and twelve, and only after the foundation is laid at the age of twelve, the talent and talent of the cultivator will begin to show. If it is a person with some heavenly talents, at the age of twelve, after laying the foundation and entering the lower nine grades, if there is a good qi induction technique, you can reach the realm of the upper level one grade after three years of cultivation, and then if there is no accident, it is inevitable to break through the innate at the age of seventeen or eight.

But Ye Xuan's body was now almost fifteen years old, but it was still a low-level ninth grade, which made him a little puzzled. It stands to reason that the foundation of this body is extremely solid, after all, he is a child of a great family, much stronger than his earlier body, but the realm has not been improved, so the only explanation is that the owner of the original body is a talented and dull guy.

Of course, it may also have something to do with the fact that his cultivation of Qi Induction Technique is too bad.

From this point, it can be seen that there is a gap between the children of the Baiyu Dynasty and the children of the real famous families and sects in the Tianyuan Continent.

Taking the Lu family as an example, only the core disciples could cultivate the Lu family's Qi Induction Technique and the Wind Listening Sword Technique. And to become a core disciple, then in addition to talent, you also need to go through some audits, such as loyalty to the family, etc., and how much time will be wasted after these tests in all aspects, no one can say.

What's more, before they became core disciples, the qi induction techniques and martial arts cultivated by these clansmen were also varied, and there was no unity at all.

But this is not the case with those famous sects and powerful families. Even though there will also be some loyalty assessments and tests, etc., the qi induction techniques they give their disciples to cultivate are unified, and only by practicing the same exercise, then the speed of their progress can become the criterion for judging the level of talent.

If the talent is good enough, and you are loyal enough to the family and sect, then you will naturally have better exercises to learn, and you will also have better treatment.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan could only sigh helplessly: According to the normal situation, if you cultivate the Lu family's qi induction technique, there is no problem for a disciple with better talent to reach the upper rank at the age of twenty.

But he, Ye Xuan, has a better induction technique than the Lu family's qi induction technique, if he is stuck in this level because he can't find a leyline, and can't break through the innate before the age of twenty, then he really wants to cry without tears.

Because this was related to the second "cultivator has three irreversible processes in his life", he had missed this point back then, and it was rare to get a good body, and he didn't want to miss it again.

Unconsciously, Ye Xuan came to the halfway point of the Cold Mountain, and he glanced at the only peak of the Cold Mountain—that was the destination of his trip.

There are three ways to view the pulse recorded in the "Mountains and Rivers Jue".

One is long-term viewing.

If the leylines contained in a region have just been born, then the veins will be majestic, and from a distance, you can see the red and yellow color rising to the sky.

The second is a close-up view.

After hundreds of years of precipitation and sublimation, the new vein is calm and restrained, and when you look at it from afar, you can only see the aura and cannot judge whether there is a vein.

At this time, you can only approach this place and observe carefully, if you find something, then you will see a galaxy-like red vein erupting with a stream of aura, washing a region.

The third is to check the situation.

After the leylines have accumulated long enough, they will no longer erupt aura, but will begin to condense them. This leyline is called an old vein, and it does not reappear on the surface, but hides beneath the region, making it extremely difficult to find.

The means that Ye Xuan wanted to use at the moment was to observe the situation. He had used the first two methods, and except for this incomprehensible cold mountain, there were no leylines in the other nearby mountains.

Since he began to practice the "Mountains and Rivers Jue" and learned to observe the pulse, he has only used the method of observing the situation twice.

Now it's the third time.

The use of the situation is not as simple as the first two methods, it is a method that is somewhat related to topography and feng shui. It is necessary to rely on the cultivator's own experience and eyesight to judge, fortunately, Ye Xuan has not studied the "Mountains and Rivers Jue" and various feng shui and topography for a year or two, so this point will not stump him.

It's just that you can see whether there is a leyline or not, and where the source of the leyline is, these are two concepts.

In order to absorb the aura of the leyline, it is necessary to find the source of the leyline.

But whether it is to investigate the situation or find the source of the leyline, at least you must stand on a high place.

This is also the reason why Ye Xuan must climb the peak of Hanshan.

It's just that when he finally climbed to the peak of the Cold Mountain and observed the trend of the entire Cold Mountain, his face showed an unbelievable look of shock!
