At midnight, the world was completely silent, with only the occasional rustling sound of snowflakes being blown by the wind coming from the pine forest.

At this time, the Big Dipper was just hanging above Yi Huawei's head. Yi Huawei was immersed in the state of cultivation, and suddenly felt a heat in the coccyx acupoint. The purple cloud true qi that was originally flowing smoothly along the Ren and Du meridians unexpectedly rushed back to the Yuzhen acupoint uncontrollably. He was startled, and then he realized that this was a sign of the Five Qis returning to the Origin in "Xiantian Gong".

Not daring to be negligent, he immediately put his tongue against the roof of his mouth and began to knock his teeth. Over and over again, with each knock, the sound of bells and chimes resonated in his skull. The stagnation at the Yuzhen acupoint became stronger and stronger, as if there was a heavy iron gate that had been sealed by the years and was blocking the meridians, preventing the impact of Zixia's true energy.

"open!"

Yi Huawei shouted loudly, and his ten-year internal force instantly turned into a spiral of Qi, surging out like an indestructible drill, rushing towards the key point of the Yuzhen acupoint. The hair tips were originally condensed with ice beads, but at this moment, under the vibration of this powerful Qi, they were instantly shattered into powder and dissipated in the wind.

A spruce tree as thick as a bowl three meters away was broken by the impact of this energy and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

With a slight crack of the skull, a wisp of cool air slowly poured in from the fontanelle. This wisp of cool air seemed to carry the vitality of life. Once it entered the body, it quickly blended with the purple qi in the dantian. Yi Huawei felt a sense of comfort all over his body, as if he had been reborn. The fatigue and obstacles from the previous practice disappeared without a trace.

After breaking through the Yuzhen Pass, Yi Huawei entered a mysterious state of inner vision. His consciousness seemed to have turned into a bystander, able to clearly see every corner of his body.

He first focused his attention on his lungs. With every breath, he could hear the sound of wind and thunder in his body. The white mist-like Gengjin Qi slowly flowed through his lungs, and each cycle was like a baptism of life. He could feel the Gengjin Qi nourishing every cell in his lungs, making his breathing smoother and deeper.

Then he looked at his heart. The purple qi condensed into a lotus seed-sized heart fire there, which flickered with the heartbeat. The heart fire jumped, emitting warm power, as if guarding the core of his life. Every time it beat, he felt that his vitality was constantly increasing and his spirit was fuller.

Looking at the liver and kidneys, the water vapor of the Northern Ocean was like a lively spirit, nourishing the liver wood. The meridians that had been damaged by the Star Absorbing Technique were gradually repairing under the nourishment of the water vapor of the Northern Ocean. Those broken meridians were like being slowly stitched up by a pair of invisible hands, regaining vitality. He could feel that the function of the liver was gradually recovering, and the essence of the kidneys was becoming more and more full.

The most peculiar thing is the position of the spleen. At the Huangting, a cyclone spontaneously formed. This cyclone is like a huge whirlpool, slowly gathering the internal force scattered in the limbs and bones. This is the sign of the great success of the Five Qis, and the five elements of Qi return to their respective positions, and they are endless. Yi Huawei was immersed in this wonderful feeling, constantly guiding the five elements of Qi to circulate in the body, feeling every subtle change in the body.

Time passed quietly, and Yi Huawei had already spent six days in this mysterious realm of cultivation.

At dawn on the seventh day, when the first ray of sunlight had not yet fully illuminated the top of Mount Zhongnan, Yi Huawei suddenly heard the sound of a gurgling stream.

I was puzzled. There was no stream within a few miles around here. Where did the sound come from?

Yi Huawei immediately entered the state of inner vision and carefully observed his meridians. This observation shocked him greatly. Next to the foot Shaoyin kidney meridian, there was an extra light blue hidden vein. Yi Huawei was very excited. This was the state of "Qi Guan Qi Jing" recorded in Xiantian Gong.

This hidden vein, which is difficult for ordinary warriors to find in their lifetime, finally revealed its true appearance after being continuously flushed by his internal strength for ten generations.

Yi Huawei carefully guided Zixia's Qi into this hidden vein. As soon as the Qi entered the hidden vein, he felt his five senses surge instantly.

Thirty feet away, a snow rabbit was hopping lightly on the snow, and the crisp sound of crushing ice crystals reached his ears clearly. The sound was crisp and pleasant, like a beautiful piece of music. He could even distinguish the subtle differences in the contact between the snow rabbit's paws and the ice crystals every time it jumped.

The mountain wind whistled past, carrying pine needles with it. He could actually use his skin to sense the direction of the airflow and thus determine the trajectory of the pine needles. It was as if his skin had become a sensitive sensor that could capture the slightest changes in the air.

Taking a deep breath, the air became richer in flavor. The wind carried the freshness of pine needles, the rusticity of the soil, the fragrance of flowers in the distance, and a faint smell of fireworks. He could smell the aroma of food mixed with the smell of fireworks, which was the dinner being cooked in the villagers' homes at the foot of the mountain.

Yi Huawei was amazed at this wonderful change, and kept trying to use his five senses. He closed his eyes and quietly felt everything around him, as if the whole world was under his control.

When he opened his eyes again, he felt that the Qi in his body had undergone a tremendous change. The cultivation realm that had been stagnant had now reached a state of perfection. He clenched his fists, and his whole body was filled with strength. This strength gave him an illusion that he could really break the shackles between heaven and earth with one punch.

Just when the Qi was perfect, Yi Huawei felt blessed. He clenched his right hand into a claw, and the purple Qi slowly gathered in his palm. As the Qi gathered, a cyclone about an inch in size gradually formed in his palm, which rotated at high speed and made a slight buzzing sound.

A snowflake floated down and happened to fall into the cyclone. A strange thing happened. As soon as the snowflake touched the cyclone, it disappeared without a trace.

Yi Huawei was stunned for a moment, then a surge of ecstasy surged in his heart. He immediately concentrated his mind, sank his consciousness into his body, and explored his own space.

What caught his eye was a mountain of gold, and next to the gold were the crop seeds he had collected before.

Previously, he had planned to go overseas to look for more food crops. Now, looking at the seeds in his hands, Yi Huawei finally confirmed that his space could be used again!

“Hahahaha~~~~”

Yi Huawei raised his head and laughed loudly, his laughter echoing in the valley, startling a flock of birds, and penetrating the silence of the mountain and reaching the mountainside.

Ren Yingying, who was meditating in the thatched hut, suddenly opened her eyes. A hint of surprise flashed in her autumn-water eyes, and then an inexplicable joy surged in her heart.

"This is... Brother Yue?"

Ren Yingying murmured softly, without having time to think, she stretched out her body and flew towards the direction where the laughter came from like a black lightning.

It was winter, and the mountains were covered in snow. Ren Yingying was wearing a black mink cloak with delicate white fox fur embroidered on the edges. It fluttered with her body, like a dark cloud dancing in the snow.

Under the cloak, she was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with lavender irises embroidered on the corners, which looked even more elegant in the snow. She had a black brocade belt tied around her waist, with a round white jade inlaid on it. Her long black hair was casually draped behind her, and a few strands of hair were blown to her cheeks by the mountain breeze, making her face even more beautiful. Her skin was as white as snow, and her cheeks were slightly flushed due to the rapid flight, just like a red plum blossom blooming in the snow.

After a few ups and downs, Ren Yingying landed in front of Yi Huawei. The snow-like light was reflected in her almond-shaped eyes, with a hint of rouge at the corners of her eyes. The biting cold made the color even brighter. Her usual coldness and arrogance faded a little, revealing a rare charm.

"It's so cold that it penetrates your bones, but you choose to practice on the top of a mountain."

Ren Yingying raised her hand and pointed at Yi Huawei's shoulder. Before she touched it, her palm suddenly felt warm. A barrier formed by the primordial Qi firmly enclosed the two of them, and a mist rose around them. Ren Yingying looked at the white mist she exhaled, which first condensed into crystal frost in the purple air, then shattered into starlight, and dissipated in an instant. She was shocked to realize that the snow within a radius of three feet had melted into a ring of water stains, while the bluestone slab under Yi Huawei's feet had frost patterns and was as clean as new.

Yi Huawei smiled and reached out, holding her hand that was suspended in the air, and said, "Yingying, wait and see."

As he spoke, he waved his left hand casually, and three pine needles jumped up from the snow. They quickly condensed into small ice crystal swords in the Hunyuan Qi, and quickly moved around Ren Yingying's moon-white brocade cloak. The lotus embroidered with silver thread on the cloak, as the sword Qi flowed, seemed to be injected with life, and slowly bloomed one by one.

Ren Yingying couldn't help but let out a soft cry, the hairpins in her hair moved without wind, and the dangling pearls swayed across Yi Huawei's palm. The South China Sea pearl gradually became transparent in the purple air, and finally turned into a drop of condensed dew, hanging between the two of them.

In the condensed dew, the stars in the sky and the remaining snow between the pines are reflected, just like a small world.

"Is this... Bei Ming Qi?"

Before Ren Yingying finished speaking, Yi Huawei pointed his finger like a sword at the drop of condensed dew. The condensed dew exploded instantly, turning into thousands of ice crystals, suspended in the air, and each ice crystal was flashing with strange light.

The cold wind whistled, lifting the hem of Ren Yingying's cloak, revealing her red floral cotton skirt. Her toes tapped lightly on the snow, and the pearls on her embroidered shoes rolled down, casting a string of bright lights. She was about to speak when her waist tightened and Yi Huawei pulled her into his arms.

"Don't move."

Yi Huawei whispered in her ear and pressed his right hand on the ground. Instantly, the snow swirled and a snow dragon about ten feet high rose from the ground, with purple air lingering around its head. Ren Yingying watched the snow dragon wandering in the pine forest. Wherever the dragon's claws swept past, the broken spruce trees were swept away by the snow waves.

Ren Yingying opened her eyes wide, and suddenly remembered something. She reached out to touch Yi Huawei's fontanelle and asked, "Is that hidden vein...really successful?"

Yi Huawei nodded slightly, smiled, and gently held Ren Yingying's hand. He felt her hand was cold, so he used his true energy to pass a little bit over: "It really worked. In the past few days of practice, not only did you open up the hidden meridians, but you also comprehended new skills."

Ren Yingying felt the warmth coming from her palms and looked at Yi Huawei carefully. She saw that his aura had become more stable and he seemed to exude a unique charm. Her face flushed and her eyes were full of joy.

"Brother Yue, you look so pleasing now. I knew you could do it."

Yi Huawei smiled softly and said, "This is all thanks to you who has always been by my side supporting me. If it weren't for you, I would have found it difficult to practice so attentively."

The two looked at each other and smiled, with only each other in their eyes, as if all the ice and snow in the world had melted at this moment.

In the following days, Yi Huawei told Ren Yingying in detail about his insights into cultivation, and Ren Yingying listened quietly and asked questions from time to time. The two discussed martial arts and played a song together from time to time, and their feelings became deeper and deeper, and progressed by leaps and bounds.

However, although she was immersed in the time she spent with Yi Huawei, Ren Yingying would occasionally look gloomy. Yi Huawei saw this and knew that Ren Yingying was worried about Ren Woxing.

One afternoon, Yi Huawei walked up to Ren Yingying and said, "Yingying, I know you are worried about Senior Ren. He has just escaped from trouble and his body may not be fully recovered yet. Why don't we go to Blackwood Cliff and maybe we can lend him a hand."

When Ren Yingying heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, her eyes slightly reddened, and she held Yi Huawei's hand: "Brother Yue, you are so kind. Although I hope that my father is safe, I am afraid of causing trouble for you."

Yi Huawei patted her hands gently and said with a smile: "You and I are one. Your business is my business."

After that, the two began to pack their bags.

After leaving Mount Zhongnan, the two first headed eastward along the mountain road at the northern foot of Mount Zhongnan.

The Qinling Mountains are covered in snow in winter. The peaks in the distance are covered in snow. The mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk on. The trees on both sides have lost their leaves, leaving only bare branches shivering in the cold wind. Occasionally, a few jackdaws fly up from the branches, making shrill cries, breaking the silence of the mountains.

When they reached Lantian County, they stopped for a while and replenished some dry food and water. The town here seemed particularly quiet in winter, with few pedestrians on the streets, and occasionally a few tightly wrapped villagers hurried by.

The houses in the town are arranged in an orderly manner, with thick snow piled on the roofs and curls of smoke rising from the chimneys, adding a touch of warmth to this cold winter day.

After leaving Lantian County, we turned north and headed towards the Wei River. Along the way, the scenery on the plain was monotonous yet magnificent, with withered and yellow weeds swaying in the cold wind, stretching as far as the eye could see. In the distance, a few isolated villages were scattered among the fields, and occasionally a few dogs barked.

When the two came to the Wei River, the river had frozen, and the ice surface reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight. There were some pedestrians walking carefully on the ice, and a few children playing on the ice.

Yi Huawei and Ren Yingying walked along the river bank for a while, feeling the majestic momentum of the Weishui River. Although it was bound by ice at this time, it still made people imagine its usual grandeur.

After crossing the Weishui River, they continued eastward, passing through Lintong, Weinan and other places. Although their journey was hurried, they were occasionally attracted by the ancient monuments and ruins on the roadside.

Leaving Weinan, they began to enter Shanxi. The road gradually became rugged, and the mountains appeared before their eyes again. As they walked along the winding mountain road, the surrounding scenery became more spectacular. The trees on the mountain were lush and green. Although it was winter, some evergreen pines and cypresses could still be seen standing tall in the cold wind.

After several days of trekking, we arrived near Hengshan Mountain.

The Hengshan Mountains are majestic, with rolling peaks and clouds and mists. Temples and Taoist temples are scattered on the mountain. Yi Huawei and Ren Yingying rested at the foot of Hengshan for one night, and set out from Hengshan the next morning and continued eastward.

Along the way, the scenery changed constantly, sometimes with undulating mountains and sometimes with open plains. After several days of trekking, they finally entered Hebei.

When the two arrived at Pingding Prefecture, it was already late, so they found an inn to stay in. The inn was crowded with people, including some from the underworld. Yi Huawei and Ren Yingying lowered their hats to try not to attract attention. (End of this chapter)
