Chapter 1: The Adventures of the Cold Tan
The vast continent, Yanyun Prefecture, Yunwu Mountain.
Yunwu Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, the mountains are verdant and the peaks are lined up, there are countless cliffs, mountain streams, canyons, and caves, among which there are many strange birds and beasts, even the skilled warriors do not dare to easily set foot in the hinterland of the mountains.
I saw a jade ribbon-like waterfall hanging from between the dangerous peaks, and the flowing water fell a hundred feet and turned into raindrops flying in the sky, which fluttered in a bottomless pool at the foot of the mountain, stirring up endless ripples.
A young man was sitting cross-legged on a large rock at the edge of the waterhole.
He looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a long figure and sword eyebrows, and a resolute face with a bit of childishness.
The boy's upper body is red, and under the pale bronzed skin, the well-defined muscles are as solid as steel cast iron, and the flawless contains powerful power, which is absolutely amazing!
His name is Qin Yun, he is a native of Shanghe Hunting Village five miles away, and he will come to the waterhole every afternoon to temper his physique and practice martial arts.
It's just that Qin Yun at this moment is far less calm in his heart than he seems.
He began to 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 heaven of forging his body a year ago, and the family heirloom Chiyan Heart Technique was cultivated to the second layer of Yang Fire Trifold!
The vast Kyushu warriors are like clouds, and their strength is divided into five realms: forging body, refining qi, congenital, turning gang, and supernatural powers, and each realm contains the nine heavenly realms.
Qin Yun has a martial arts family origin, and has cultivated both inside and outside since he was a child, and now he has been tempered to the point where both the muscles, bones, skin membranes, and flesh and blood meridians are tempered to the point where they can withstand the impact of true qi, and the true qi in the dantian is strong and condensed, but he has never been able to break through the bottleneck and open the pulse to refine qi.
Forging the body realm to the qi refining realm is a qualitative leap, reaching the latter can be regarded as truly embarking on the road of martial arts, stuck at the pass for a whole year, how can you not let the ambitious teenager be a little impetuous?
Exhaling a deep breath of turbidity, Qin Yun slowly closed his eyes, expelled all the distracting thoughts from his heart, and urged the Chiyan True Qi accumulated in the Qi Sea Dantian to rush towards the martial vein.
The Wu vein, also known as the qi vein, is a special meridian that runs the true qi.
Martial veins are not possessed by everyone, only with martial veins can they cultivate their inner strength and condense their true qi, and if they do not have martial veins, if they practice martial arts, they will stop at most by forging the Nine Heavens.
And the martial veins are also different from person to person, divided into different types and grades, some people are gifted, and their cultivation can be advanced in a thousand miles, while some have general qualifications, and no matter how hard they try, they can't break through the high-level realm.
Qin Yun's martial veins are strong and tenacious, and his qualifications can be called first-class, but he doesn't know why, no matter how hard he tries, he can't open the pulse and drain qi.
The so-called opening of the pulse refers to the operation of the true qi to open up the martial veins, lead the dantian true qi to the limbs and heads, and then penetrate the meridians of the whole body, which is the most important condition for advancing to the qi refining realm.
can't open the pulse, no matter how good the talent is, you can't become a real powerhouse.
With the operation of the heart technique, three flame-shaped true qi masses quickly formed in Qin Yun's sea of qi, they spun rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they fused together, turning into a true qi flow beam and blasting towards the martial veins connecting the dantian.
Like thousands of previous efforts, Qin Yun's true qi was met with stubborn resistance from the martial arts, and he advanced a few inches and was unable to break through.
Soon, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and part of the true qi condensed by the dantian was consumed when it hit the martial veins, while the other part of it diverged into the limbs and hundreds of remains.
The Chiyan Heart Technique is a first-class basic internal qi heart method, and the Chiyan True Qi cultivated is blazing and strong, and since Qin Yun has not yet opened his pulse, the True Qi emitted cannot be controlled and absorbed, which has an impact on his body.
Qin Yun's skin turned red, and his whole person looked like a boiled prawn, his sweat had turned into gas before it could seep out of his pores, and his internal organs were even more like fire.
If he didn't have a strong physique tempered by ten years of forging, the divergent Chiyan True Qi would be enough to kill him!
After persisting for a whole stick of incense, when the epidermis and skin were too dry and there were slight cracks, Qin Yun reluctantly gave up his efforts to open his pulse for a few times.
Opening his eyes, he shook his head helplessly and stood up, jumping into the pool in a beautiful fish leap gesture.
When I entered the water, I didn't even stir up the slightest splash!
The icy water of the pool suddenly completely submerged Qin Yun, instantly absorbing the heat on his skin, and the whole person immediately became much more sober and comfortable.
The area of the cold pool at the foot of this cloudy mountain is not large, but it is quite peculiar, no matter how heavy the rain usually is, it will not overflow, and it will never dry up for half a minute in a year of great drought.
The water in the pool was extremely cold, and no one in the upper hunting village dared to enter the pool to swim and play, because all those who dared to do so sank into the pool and did not see their bodies.
Qin Yun is an exception.
The Red Flame Heart Technique he cultivated was extremely powerful, and unless he took special medicine to reconcile it, long-term cultivation would cause some damage to his body.
However, Han Tan Tan Water was just able to neutralize the flame power of the Chiyan Heart Technique, and Qin Yun also inadvertently discovered its benefits, so he came to Han Tan to practice the Heart Technique every afternoon.
In fact, his Chiyan Heart Technique was able to cultivate to the Yang Fire Three-Folded Level, which had a lot to do with this Han Tan.
Spit out a string of bubbles in the water, Qin Yun stretched his hands and feet and dived towards the depths of Han Tan.
The further down he went, the colder and darker Han Tan became, and the huge pressure that came with it was unbearable, but Qin Yun had been used to it for many years, so he continued to dive indifferently.
Tan Shui's cold power and pressure were all tempering his heart and body and Chiyan True Qi for him, and Qin Yun once dived to Tan Zhong dozens of feet deep.
And today's failure to open the pulse again made him hold back an evil fire in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to hit his limit and see if he could explore the deepest part of Han Tan.
A few foot-long herring fish swam leisurely past him, Han Tan is not a forbidden area of life, there are many fish living in it, and the taste is extremely delicious.
Just as Qin Yun was about to make a move to catch the fish, the surrounding herring fish suddenly seemed to be frightened by something, and violently shook their tails and fled in all directions.
A black shadow suddenly appeared near Qin Yun, silently and extremely fast.
A panicked herring just hit head-on, and it was too late to dodge and was swallowed by the black shadow with its mouth open!
But Qin Yun didn't show the slightest surprise, instead a smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand and waved at the black shadow.
The black shadow quickly leaned close to him, and it was a huge carp that was seven or eight feet long.
It touched Qin Yun's arm with its long carp whiskers, and the palm-sized dark red scales on the fish's body shimmered with a little cold light in the pool water.
Qin Yun reached out and touched its slippery head, looking very affectionate.
This red carp is the overlord of Han Tan, and I don't know how many years it has lived, and it is very spiritual.
Every time Qin Yun sneaked into Hantan, the red carp would always come over to accompany him and play, adding a bit of fun to his boring cultivation career.
After playing for a while, Qin Yun continued to dive towards the bottom of the pool.
The red carp accompanied him all the way, and it was not until Qin Yun dived to a depth of about thirty zhang that it reluctantly turned around and left.
But Qin Yun didn't stop, he wanted to test his limit.
At this depth, the pressure of the pond water was already very large, but it was still within Qin Yun's tolerance range.
There were no fish in sight around, although the sunlight could not reach such a deep place, but there were many floating algae in the water, and they emitted a little faint light, so that Qin Yun could barely see the scene within a radius of ten feet or so around him.
After diving down for more than a dozen zhang, Qin Yun felt the real pressure.
The cold force of the pool water overwhelmed the little remaining Chiyan True Qi power in his body, and the bone joints of his body made a fine crackling sound because of the external force.
Although he still hadn't been able to reach the bottom of the pool, Qin Yun knew that this was almost his limit.
The cold power of the invasion made him sober and not do stupid things that would kill him.
However, just as Qin Yun was about to turn around and float up, the corner of his eye suddenly sensed something in the lower left of him.
This discovery made his heart move, and he adjusted his posture slightly to look carefully, and found that there was a mass of things that emitted a faint brilliance in the depths, but it was dim and could not see the true face.
What is that? Qin Yun's curiosity immediately rose up.
After all, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and although he knew that it was dangerous here, he couldn't resist the impulse in his heart and ventured towards the mass to find out the truth.
After diving 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's egg!
Its surface is rounded and constantly changing colors, from crimson to blue, and it is half buried in black silt and is very beautiful.
Around the gemstone, a half-concealed gray-white human skeleton is revealed!
In its position, the gem is placed on the sternum, as if it is being held by the hands of a skeleton.
Qin Yun couldn't help but widen his eyes, he didn't expect that he had actually reached the bottom of Han Tan and found such a thing.
However, the painful moans from the bones on his body and the chill through his body reminded Qin Yun that his current situation was not good.
Before he had time to think about it, Qin Yun gritted his teeth and swam towards the gem with his arms and legs.
The pressure of the pool water increased suddenly, Qin Yun only felt that his eyes were dark, and a trace of blood overflowed from his mouth, nose and ears, but his fingers touched the multicolored gem.
A strange touch came from his fingertips, and he grasped the gem firmly in his hand, and turned to swim with the last of his strength.
It floated more than a dozen zhang in one breath, and the pressure of the pool water was greatly reduced, but the true qi and flame power in Qin Yun's body had already been depleted, and he was frozen and stiff by the invading cold power.
What's even more terrifying is that his legs actually cramped at this time!
The immense pain and the chill that overwhelmed the whole body were intertwined, and finally destroyed Qin Yun's last will.
He passed out unconscious.
