Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 26 Stepping on the snow without a trace
Before Fang Mushan finished speaking, Li Haomiao interrupted, "If you were in Yujing, you might be ranked high, but I'm afraid you're still far behind. The world's geniuses are like carp crossing the river. With your level, remember to be humble and cautious."

Fang Mushan glanced at Li Haomiao and said nothing more.

Xu Yunfan didn't care at all. Most of his attention was immersed in cultivation. He found that every time he practiced the Red Snake Cloak Hammer, the efficiency of increasing his proficiency was much higher than mining.

But he did not relax his mining skills. This skill played an important role in providing him with a relatively comfortable resting place in the 800-mile Arakawa Icefield. If other people who escaped could not keep warm in time and did not have a habitat that was adequately sheltered from the wind and cold, even if they had mastered martial arts, their chances of survival would be extremely slim in such a harsh environment with a huge temperature difference between day and night, where the temperature could even drop to minus ten degrees Celsius in the middle of the night.

Fang Mushan, who was sitting next to him and slowly turning the barbecue, was a little dazed. After a while, his expression calmed down again.

"My father said something to me that day, and now I finally understand a little bit. He must have anticipated this."

Li Haomiao nodded and praised, "General Fang is a master of military strategy and is extremely perceptive of the court situation. To remain steadfast, I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Mu Shan, don't feel wronged. Once you've brought that witch down, you'll have your day. Once we're out of this 800-mile wilderness, come with me. I'll take you to see someone who will give you the answers you seek."

Fang Mushan was silent for a moment, nodded, and said nothing more.

Xu Yunfan wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Haomiao's look that said, "If you keep talking, I won't teach you kung fu," he couldn't help but smack his lips and continued practicing the Red Snake Cloak Hammer.

He had not yet reached his physical limit, and would only stop after being exhausted each time.

During the break, under Li Haomiao's murderous gaze, Xu Yunfan calmly swallowed a fasting pill and ate twenty pounds of bear meat. Then he turned his back, pinched the Lin character seal with his hands, and silently recited the Shangshan Ruoshui mantra. Gradually, his mind fell into a state of emptiness.

"You formed a seal with your hands and practiced the Lin character formula. You seemed to have some inspiration, but when you carefully pondered it, you found nothing. Your proficiency in the Lin character formula seemed to have increased."

'you……'

The information prompts on the attribute panel did not surprise him. In the past ten days, every time he practiced the Lin character technique, the prompts on the attribute panel were almost the same.

However, he could clearly feel that after practicing the Lin character technique each time, the next practice would take longer.

After a long time, Xu Yunfan opened his eyes, revealing a tired look, his eyes full of joy. He could clearly feel that he had persisted in practicing the Lin character technique for at least one minute longer than yesterday.

He turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Fang Mushan was already busy outside the cave. A simple grill was set up on the blazing campfire. The remaining bear meat was sizzling on the fire, and the fat dripped into the flames, making crackling sounds and emitting an enticing aroma.

The three of them sat together and feasted until their stomachs were so full that they could not eat any more, and then they stopped with satisfaction.

All three of them were martial artists with huge appetites. After the two brown bears, one big and one small, were eaten without any scruples, only a few strips of meat were left, which they hung on their bodies to dry as dry food.

Xu Yunfan put on the bearskin clothes he had sewn and sniffed them gently. "What a pity! If I had two more days, the odor of this bearskin would have been completely removed."

The hunting skill was not very advanced, but it covered a wide range of areas. There were simple and crude methods for tanning animal fur alone, which allowed them to temporarily escape the threat of cold.

Wearing bearskin boots, bearskin clothes, and the mountain goat and yak skins he had hunted before, Xu Yunfan stood in the biting cold wind, but felt warm all over.

Li Haomiao stroked the thick bearskin coat on his body.

"If it were in Yujing, and it was well-tanned, it could sell for at least two hundred taels of silver."

"It might be difficult for you to return to Yujing in this lifetime." Li Haomiao snorted, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable look.

"One day, I will bring that temptress down."

Ignoring Li Haomiao, Xu Yunfan walked out of the bear cave and looked up at the dark sky, only to see snowflakes falling down.

"Snowing."

Fang Mushan's expression tightened as he said in a deep voice, "We have to speed up. It's already winter. If we can't get out before the snow blocks the mountain, even a martial artist who has mastered the art of martial arts will probably die in this 800-li Huangchuan Icefield."

"But there is good news. With this heavy snow, all traces of our arrival will be covered up."

Li Haomiao's expression relaxed slightly: "As long as those mysterious Imperial Astronomical Officials are not leading the team, we are already free."

The two did not dare to delay any longer. Xu Yunfan quickly carried Li Haomiao on his back and ran forward at full speed.

These days, they have traveled at full speed and have walked more than 600 miles.

The two men were very agile and could easily climb over many dangerous peaks and deep valleys that were difficult for ordinary people to cross as if they were walking on flat ground, which also saved them a lot of time.

"If we keep going, maybe we can get out by tomorrow morning."

"died?"

Zhang Shuyang's face instantly turned as dark as ink. He stared at Xu Yun's body. The horrific death made him purse his lips tightly and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Xu Yun had followed him for many years as his personal soldier, and had survived countless battles on the battlefields. However, he had never expected to die here, which made him both angry and sad.

One was a cripple, one had only achieved a little success in practice, and the other was a household servant. It should have been a sure thing.

Zhang Shuyang slowly half-knelt down, his gaze lingering on Xu Yun's face for a long time.

He slowly stood up, and the armor on his body collided with each other as he moved, making a crisp clinking sound that was particularly harsh in the silent snow.

At this time, the heavy snow falling from the sky had not yet touched his body. It was quickly vaporized and dissipated into balls of water vapor just three inches away from him.

It was the surging blood in his body that was surging, causing the temperature around him to be extremely high, like a volcano that could erupt at any time, suppressing endless anger and annoyance.

Xu Yun was his life-and-death friend on the battlefield. The two had fought side by side for many years and had a tacit understanding. Zhang Shuyang had always placed high hopes on him.

He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and walked step by step to the bottom of Li Miaoyun who was standing on a huge rock.

Li Miaoyun was dressed in a light gauze dress, looking like an ice fairy in the heavy snow. The surrounding ice and snow blended with her indifferent temperament, as if the coldness in the world could not get close to her at all.

Zhang Shuyang knelt on one knee and performed a standard half-kneeling salute. His voice was filled with helplessness and caution. "Sima Li, I'm afraid the person is still inside. Now that we've lost our skilled trackers and are now covered in snow, tracking them will be extremely difficult."
