The snow was falling, the jackdaws were wailing, and even the wild beasts were reluctant to get out of their dens in such cold weather. At this time, in the middle of a big mountain, a boy who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old was curled up in a dead tree hole shivering, the boy's face was pale, his hair was dirty, and his clothes were in tatters.

The child's name is Qin He, half a month ago Qin He and his father came to the mountains to hunt, but was attacked by a wild beast, his father was killed by the beast in order to save him, after his father died, Qin He lost his only relative, after a few turns in the mountains, Qin He found that he could not find his way home, and then Qin He found a tree hole in the mountain, and went to pick some wild fruits during the day to satisfy his hunger, and stayed in the tree hole for the night at night.

Qin He wiped the snot that was about to flow into his mouth with his hand, and sat up trembling while trembling.

"It's been snowing heavily for two days, and if you don't go out to find something to eat, even if you don't starve to death, you'll freeze to death," Qin He said as he slowly got out of the tree hole.

"Hiss~~ It's so cold!", just out of the tree hole, Qin He couldn't help but gasp, the cold wind blew his face stinging, the broken clothes had long been unable to cover his body, and the heavy snow fell on his body, producing bursts of coldness, and for a while, Qin He's body trembled even more.

"You have to find something to eat, if you can find food, maybe you can get through", Qin He said secretly in his heart, as he spoke, he opened his legs and walked forward, the snow about half a foot deep was almost to Qin He's knees, Qin He wrapped his hands around him, squinting his eyes and carefully searching for food in the snow, but on the snow, not even a single leaf could be seen, where could he find food?

The snow is still falling, Qin He is also continuing to look for food, unconsciously, an hour has passed, Qin He is blindly looking for food in the snow, at this time, his body has already been frozen numb and unconscious, his legs are also like filled with lead, he doesn't know how long he can last in the snow, maybe the next moment, he will fall to the ground, but he didn't give up in his heart, he has been insisting in his heart, maybe the next moment, he can see a miracle.

After another half an hour, the snow was still falling, and Qin He's consciousness began to blur, and finally, by accident, Qin He fell into the snow, however, at the moment of falling, Qin He suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, as if something was emitting a strong light, Qin He suddenly showed a faint wry smile, he knew that this must be his hallucination, what light could he see in the blue sky and daylight? But he was still unwilling, raised his hands that had long been unconscious, propped up his body, and raised his head with difficulty to look ahead.

It was a fruit, just two or three feet away in front of him, as if someone had accidentally fallen on the snow, this fruit was small and exquisite, crystal clear, and seemed to have a sweet smell. That's food, you have to eat it, whether it's an illusion or not, that's your last hope. Qin He subconsciously crawled towards the place where the fruit was placed, and finally, after a full stick of incense, Qin He climbed to the side of the fruit.

Panting, Qin He slowly held the fruit in his hand, he didn't have time to appreciate the beauty of the fruit, and with the last trace of his strength, Qin He sent the fruit into his mouth, however, before he could chew it, Qin He only felt that his eyes were dark, and the rest knew nothing.

The snow still didn't stop, and the heavy snow began to fall on Qin He's body, and after a while, Qin He was covered with a layer of snow clothes. However, what is strange is that not long after the heavy snow fell on Qin He, it began to melt, not only on Qin He, but even the snow around Qin He was slowly melting, as if a protective layer had formed around Qin He. At this time, if someone saw the appearance of this Qin He in front of them, they would definitely be shocked. I saw that this Qin He's body was exuding a strange light, and through Qin He's broken clothes, it could be seen that Qin He's body had become slightly red, especially his face, which was red like a ripe fruit, which made people look at it and not feel extremely weird.

After a few hours, the heavy snow finally stopped slowly, this heavy snow fell for nearly three days, dyed the whole valley white, the big trees in the mountains were also covered with a layer of snow, after the heavy snow, everything was quiet, not even a crow was heard, it can really be said that the land is really white!

The next day, a red sun hung in the sky, and the snow began to melt slowly under the sunlight, and the snowcoats on the trees began to slowly melt, turning into snow water, dripping from the trees. After a few more days, the snow had melted away, and the whole valley was revealing its truest form, and the sound of birds began to sound in the mountains, and wild beasts began to come out to feed.

Heavenly Saint Sect, an immortal sect in the immortal cultivation world, within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, the Heavenly Saint Sect is an absolutely powerful existence, there are tens of thousands of disciples in the sect, and the strength of its head is even more heavenly, the reason why the Heavenly Saint Sect can exist as a hegemon within a radius of tens of thousands of miles is entirely because of this master. At this time, in a secret room in the Heavenly Saint Sect, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged, this man had a handsome face, a radiant look, and quite a temperament, so that any woman could not help but feel a little moved when she saw it. And the man who was practicing in retreat at this time was none other than Xiang Qing, the sect master of the Heavenly Saint Sect.

At this time, Xiang Qing pinched his hands, his face showed a solemn look, and he couldn't help but come out of his mouth bursts of obscure legal decisions, with the passage of the legal decisions in Xiang Qing's mouth, a crazy aura rushed towards Xiang Qing, with the convergence of aura, Xiang Qing's body suddenly appeared eighteen red lights, these rays were distributed in different positions of the body, those aura gathered by Xiang Qing before, crazy poured into the red light, Xiang Qing frowned, did not dare to be careless, and constantly absorbed the aura that poured into his body.

Gradually, with the passage of time, Xiang Qing has been practicing in the secret room for several days, during these few days, Xiang Qing frantically absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, and never stopped for a moment, as the aura entered his body, the red light on Xiang Qing's body became brighter and brighter. However, what is strange is that Xiang Qing's face not only did not show joy, but his brows furrowed even tighter, and there were bursts of worry in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed, with a large amount of heaven and earth aura ingested into his body, the red light on Xiang Qing's body no longer shone, but became dim, Xiang Qing's face showed a worried look, after hesitating for a moment, he pinched the formula with both hands again, and bursts of mantras came out of his mouth again, with the passage of the mantra, the aura around Xiang Qing no longer gathered, and gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.

"Huh~~", Xiang Qing exhaled lightly, then slowly stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out of the secret room.

"Dad, how is it??", as soon as Xiang Qing came out of the secret room, a voice came from his ear, and then a girl ran in front of him.

"Oh, it's Ye'er, when did you come? Didn't I let you accompany your mother?", Xiang Qing was still solemn on his face just now after seeing his daughter, and he was instantly full of smiles. This girl is Xiang Qing's only daughter, named Xiang Ye'er, who is now thirteen years old.

"I heard my mother say that you are in retreat, so I wanted to come and see you, but I didn't expect you to be out of the customs as soon as I came, Dad, tell me quickly, how about this retreat?", Xiang Ye'er said as she ran to Xiang Qing, shook his arm and said that she was coquettish.

Looking at Xiang Ye'er's appearance, Xiang Qing shook his head, there was really no way to take his daughter, and after glancing at his daughter, Xiang Qing sighed again and said:

"Alas, although Dad's Hidden Dragon Mirror has been completed, and the eighteenth Qi Mansion has been opened, but if the Nineteenth Qi Mansion can't be opened in one day, Dad won't be able to break through the Latent Dragon Mirror, and if you want to break through the Latent Dragon Mirror and enter the current Dragon Mirror, how can it be so easy."

Looking at Xiang Qing's lost appearance, Xiang Ye'er couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart, in the past few years, her father has tried to break through the hidden dragon mirror many times in retreat, but each time it ended in failure, this time her father still didn't succeed, looking at her father's appearance, Xiang Ye'er really wanted to comfort her father, but for a while, she didn't know what to say.

"Dad, let's go back to my mother, I haven't seen you these days, my mother already misses you", Xiang Ye'er really didn't know how to comfort her father, so she had to turn Xiang Qing's attention to her mother.

"No, Ye'er, you go back to your mother first, Dad has to go out for a trip, now you have also opened the Six Doors Qi Mansion, remember to practice diligently, do you remember the Shengying fruit that your father told you before, count the days, now there are still a few months to ripen, with that Shengying fruit, the chance of Dad breaking through the hidden dragon realm can be eighty percent!" Xiang Qing showed a resolute gaze and said to his daughter Xiang Ye'er.

"Dad, it's not too late to go back and see my mother, my mother has been ...... for a few days." Xiang Ye'er saw that her father was so anxious, and said hurriedly.

However, before Xiang Ye'er could finish speaking, Xiang Qing interrupted her:

"Ye'er, if you break through to the Xianlong Mirror as soon as possible, you will be able to cure your mother's illness one day earlier, go back and tell your mother, let her not worry, I will come back as soon as I get the Shengying fruit."

After Xiang Qing finished speaking, he took off Xiang Ye'er's hand that was on his arm, and then slapped the heavenly spirit, a long sword came out of thin air, and with a light touch on the ground, Xiang Qing stepped on the long sword and galloped away, and in just a few breaths, it disappeared into the sky and was out of sight.

"Humph!".

Looking at her father who disappeared into the sky, Xiang Ye'er pursed her lips angrily, but then she smiled again and left from the secret room where Xiang Qing was cultivating.
