A man stands before the heavens, his sword emerges from the Emei Mountains.

The last rays of sunlight were swallowed by the night, and the chill of early spring became increasingly biting.

Abbess Miejue felt as if her heart was about to burst. She had been with Chen Yu and the others the whole time, witnessing them annihilate the Wushan Gang and Chen Yu interrogating Luo Kui by water torture.

She was convinced that the Five Poisons Sect would not give up easily, so while secretly protecting him, she also harbored the thought of "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," and of course, she also had other ideas, such as testing Chen Yu's leadership abilities.

Yang An set off fireworks as a show of force, but Miejue, seeing that the Emei disciples had encountered a powerful enemy, used her movement technique to rush over. She then witnessed Wei Yixiao catching up with Chen Yu, who was embracing the Bat King and dying together.

"Yu'er".

Clang...

As the Heaven-Slaying Sword was drawn, its gleaming light resembled a shooting star streaking across the dark night sky, its chilling radiance sweeping towards Wei Yixiao.

The sudden, bright flash of the sword light made Wei Yixiao feel as if he had thorns in his back, and his hair stood on end.

In the past, Wei Yixiao would not have been afraid of extinction, but with the cold poison acting up, how could he dare to forcefully use his internal energy to fight?

"Old nun is a feisty woman."

Wei Yixiao swayed his body, leaped backward, and instantly turned around, turning his back to Miejue. The sea of ​​grass beneath his feet parted like waves, his green robes fluttering like a startled swan. The withered leaves and grass clippings behind him rose up and dragged into the deepest part of the night like a shuttle or lightning.

Extinction landed on the cliff, and looking out, all he could see was a vast expanse of clouds and mist. He had no idea how deep the cliff was, and there was no sign of Chen Yu anywhere.

……

The wind was as strong as the sound of a bowstring, and with a loud bang, Chen Yu fell into the pool below and above his head.

He took a palm strike from Wei Yixiao, but thanks to his youthful flexibility, the icy chill emanating from the jade ruyi, and its sufficiently high spatial distance, he adjusted his posture and fell into the water in a relatively safe manner.

Even so, the intense impact and the water pressure surging in from all directions almost made him faint.

Suddenly, a horizontal torrent swept his body sideways.

In just a few breaths, the light in his vision magnified. Chen Yu swam a few more feet and found himself in a sloping ice cellar. He paddled hard, rising upwards. Soon after, with a "bang," the water surface parted, and sunlight shone down.

call……

Chen Yu let out a long breath and climbed ashore.

It was only early spring in February in the Valley of Heartbreak, but the place where Chen Yu was was bathed in sunshine, filled with the fragrance of flowers. Flowers of all colors were blooming in competition, some as red as fire, some as white as snow, and some as blue as indigo, like being in a sea of ​​flowers.

hiss……

The chill that coursed through Chen Yu's body like ice lines made him shiver. The bone-chilling coldness rushed straight to his chest and lungs. The coldness of Wei Yixiao's "Ice Palm" and the coolness emanating from the jade ruyi combined internally and externally, and Chen Yu felt as if his blood was about to freeze.

He unbuttoned his clothes, took out the jade ruyi with dragon and phoenix motifs, and felt a little better. When his rationality returned completely, more information about the valley below the Broken Soul Cliff began to amplify.

As expected, there are jade bees here. Honey has healing properties, and most importantly, the white fish from the cold pool can neutralize cold toxins.

Xiaolongnu used honey and white fish to neutralize the poison of the Ice Soul Silver Needle and the Love Flower, which had stumped Yang Guo, Huang Rong, Master Yideng, and others.

The ice cellar contains millennia-old ice, and its effects on cultivation are comparable to those of the Jade Bed in an ancient tomb.

With this thought in mind, Chen Yu endured the chill in his body and looked around. He saw several dilapidated thatched huts about ten feet ahead, and the buzzing of jade bees could be heard in the air.

Chen Yu stepped forward and pushed open the door to the thatched cottage in the middle.

The room was dusty and covered in cobwebs. The furnishings were simple, with only a table and a small table, and nothing else. Chen Yu walked to the small room on the right.

Bright sunlight streamed through the cracks in the thatched hut, forming a pillar of light and dust. Inside were beds, tables, and chairs, and a long rope stretched taut through the air.

This is where Little Dragon Girl rests.

Chen Yu left the room and turned to walk towards the other two thatched huts.

One room is the kitchen, and the other is where Xiaolongnu practices her skills, with a unique design. Chen Yu guessed that Xiaolongnu's design was based on the layout of an ancient tomb.

Chen Yu looked around, his gaze landing on the wooden wall. The wall was clean and clear, covered with countless tiny figures.

This is?

Chen Yu stepped forward and saw that all the designs featured a man and a woman practicing martial arts with swords. With just a few strokes, the figures exuded tender affection and shy shyness.

What surprised Chen Yu even more was that the spacing between each group of figures was remarkably consistent, and the texture of their clothing was uniformly deep.

It dawned on me.

Chen Yu muttered to himself, "It must have been when Xiaolongnu was first cured of the cold poison, and while practicing her martial arts, she thought of Yang Guo and used the Ambidextrous Technique to carve these portraits with the Jade Bee Needle."

The man is Yang Guo, and the woman is Xiaolongnu. The whole set of pictures depicts the scene of the two of them working together to master the Jade Maiden Heart Sword in the Ancient Tomb.

A huge surprise instantly swept over Chen Yu.

Based on this, it can be inferred that Yang Guo used the Quanzhen Swordplay, while Xiaolongnu used the Jade Maiden Swordplay.

Upon closer inspection, Chen Yu found, as expected, several sword techniques quite similar to those of the Emei Swordplay.

For example, the "Three Variations on Plum Blossom" in "The Wind and Willow Sword" is similar to the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" of the Quanzhen Swordplay.

I never expected to have such a great opportunity.

Chen Yu was delighted. The pattern in the training room was carved by Xiaolongnu when she thought of Yang Guo, to express her longing, or perhaps to relieve boredom. There was no method of circulating qi. However, Emei martial arts had some shadows of Quanzhen Sect and Ancient Tomb Sect martial arts. It was not difficult to integrate these moves with the qi-guiding method of "Huifeng Wuliu Sword".

The most urgent task is to catch whitefish and supplement them with honey to neutralize the cold poison of the "Ice Palm".

Chen Yu took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, placed the fire tumbler, Longquan sword, and other items wrapped in oil paper on the wooden table, took a food pill and a medicine pill, and then turned to go to the entrance of the ice cellar.

……

Splash!

As the waves surged, Chen Yu parted the water and stepped onto the valley floor below the Broken Soul Cliff. Looking around, he saw sheer cliffs all around, as if he were in a large well, with white clouds swirling above, obscuring the sun.

Chen Yu gave a wry smile. After he recovered from his injuries, he could only use the Longquan sword to carve a hole in the cliff, then take tree bark to make a rope and climb up the cliff. He didn't know how long that would take.

His thoughts returned, and he submerged into the water.

Chen Yu's experience of fishing in the Xiangjiang River made catching fish a breeze. He used his clothes as a net and caught about ten fish. Then he went ashore, carried a stone into the pool, and went from the bottom of the pool to the valley, which was like a paradise. Using the readily available tools, he cooked a pot of white fish.

The white fish were small, but delicious and fatty. Chen Yu ate several in a row, and suddenly a faint warmth rose from his dantian, and the icy chill that had been spreading through the meridians of his heart and lungs dissipated a little.

Chen Yu was overjoyed. Not only could the white fish dispel the cold poison, but it also had the effect of aiding cultivation and enhancing internal strength, similar to the effect of the snake gall of the Bodhi snake in Xiangyang Snake Valley.

Chen Yu ate with lightning speed, emptying a bowl of white fish. He then sat cross-legged among the flowers, silently circulating his Nine Yang Internal Energy to dispel the cold poison and heal his injuries.

……

The last rays of sunlight faded, leaving only moonlight on the ground. Time flies, and the seasons change.

It had been half a month since Chen Yu had been in the valley where Xiaolongnu had lived alone for sixteen years.

During this period, he became quite familiar with the jade bees in the valley. He would mix honey with white fish to treat wounds and dispel cold toxins, and the effect was doubled.

At dusk, Chen Yu ate honey and white fish. After about a hundred breaths, a warm sensation spread out, and his robust qi and blood surged.

He circulated his qi and blood, condensed his internal energy, and then used his mind to guide the qi, dissolving the few remaining cold toxins in his body.

The increasingly robust Emei Nine Yang internal energy flowed along the Ren meridian in the lower dantian and then into the Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian of the hand, which contained the cold poison of the "Frosty Cotton Palm". Ice and fire clashed, repeatedly sawing and washing each other, and the pale blue palm print on Chen Yu's shoulder turned from blue to gray.

An hour later, the palm print finally disappeared. Chen Yu circulated his internal energy throughout his body, and the poison in his palm was completely eliminated.

He was secretly glad that Wei Yixiao's fight with A-San had triggered the cold poison and caused his power to drop drastically. Otherwise, it might have taken much longer to heal his injuries.

Chen Yu's thoughts returned, and he got up and went to the wooden house where Xiaolongnu practiced her skills. He began to memorize the various moves of the Quanzhen Swordplay and the Jade Maiden Swordplay. He couldn't help but imagine how surprised the woman in yellow would be if she saw him using the martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect.
