After sitting in the shed and knitting for several days, Li Ye still couldn't weave a complete bamboo hat.
The old ape looked at Li Ye and said solemnly: "It's getting colder and colder. We can't wait any longer."
"Do you want to bring Ruoshui Sword?" Li Ye asked in a low voice.
"Bring it on, it's such a cold day, even the water can't flow, and there are no rocks or branches flowing down. Just bring the animal skin on the chair. It can prevent you from instant frostbite." The old ape said with his eyes wide open.
Li Ye stood up reluctantly, picked up the animal skin and followed the old ape out of the shed, one after another towards the bottom of the cliff.
The old ape thought for a while, then turned back to the wooden shed, and came out again holding Ruoshui Sword in his hand.
He looked at Li Xiang and said, "This is not for you. You will know in a moment."
After walking through the woods and around the cliff, the two came to the edge of the pool under the waterfall. I saw that the surrounding area of the pool was covered with ice, and only the area about one foot in the middle was still filled with mist.
The old ape glanced at the water flow, frowned and said, "Take off your clothes and rub yourself with the snow on the ground to get used to it before going down. I'll go up to the waterfall and have a look. The water flow is smaller than yesterday."
In desperation, Li Ye took off all his clothes, leaving only his pants on.
He grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and rubbed it hard on his upper body. After a while, his skin began to turn red and heat came out.
"Get into the water when you're almost done. Remember to use all the energy and energy in your body." At some point, the old ape was standing on the top of the pool and shouted to Li Ye.
Li Ye walked carefully and carefully to the edge of the white foggy pool, and carefully stretched out one foot...
In just an instant, a heartbreaking coldness penetrated his body, in this bone-chilling cold pool.
Li Ye gritted his teeth and circulated the true energy from his Dantian to the meridians of his body, gritting his teeth in this bone-chilling cold pool.
Run the mental method of "Shadowless Dharma Body", perform Fuhu Luohan Fist, and punch out one after another, thereby tempering Qi and blood and improving physical strength.
The sound of the iron sword hitting the ice came from the top of the pool. The old ape watched the water flow getting smaller and smaller, and couldn't help but use the iron sword to break the ice, making the water flowing downwards much larger.
Just for a moment, Li Ye felt that his shoulders were as heavy as a thousand stones, and the water above his head suddenly became turbulent. The icy cold current hit him, causing him to be knocked over and fell into the pool.
He felt the cold pool water piercing his body like thousands of sharp arrows, and all the bones in his body made a rattling sound.
He resisted the urge to jump out of the pool and stood up again. While circulating his true energy, he continued to wave his fist and hit Fuhu Luohan Fist heavily on the cold current flowing down.
He had already practiced the fifth level of the "Phaseless Dharmakaya". Even if he tried his best to deal with the cold current, he still felt very strenuous. He felt like he was in hell every minute.
At this time, he had forgotten how to resist the cold. He just subconsciously used the magical power, thinking that he would go out immediately if he could hold on for a while longer...
Just when he was about to give up and think about jumping out of the pool, he discovered that his body's meridians were absorbing the power of the ice-cold pool.
A trace of cold air from heaven and earth slowly flowed into his body, melted into the true essence in his dantian, and slowly flowed into his twelve veins.
He felt that the true energy in his Dantian was slightly stronger, and his body's muscles and bones no longer suffered from the bone-chilling pain in his back like when he first entered the cold pool.
If the true energy in his dantian before was a small sapling.
Then the true essence at this moment has evolved into a small branch to resist more cold for him.
"Bang!" Li Ye made a crisp sound in his body. He felt like the sound of hare meat exploding on the stove. He found that the true energy in his Dantian was divided into two types in an instant. One is extremely hot and the other is extremely cold.
After not seeing any movement for a long time, subtle changes were also taking place in his flesh, and his bones were also gently twisting.
Although the movement was much smaller than when he broke through to the fifth level of "Phaseless Dharmakaya", this change made him feel extremely happy.
He believed that as long as he got the Xiabu Mind Technique, he could break through to the sixth level in a few days.
Time passed quietly, and he continued to use the mental method of "Phaseless Dharmakaya" to temper his physical body, stimulate his qi and blood, and adapt to the cold.
Finally, after holding on for half an hour, he felt that his body had reached its limit, so he no longer hesitated and returned to the shore holding the ice cold Ling by the pool.
He took out a towel and dried his body vigorously, wrapped himself in the animal skin, carried the clothes on the ground, and ran to the waterfall without looking back.
While running, he waved to the old ape: "Senior, let's go back and come back here tomorrow."
The old ape couldn't help but laugh when he saw him running. Xin Dao thought that this guy was indeed a monster. He was in the state of distraction back then and could only hold on for a quarter of an hour in the pond.
He was only in the Golden Core Realm, but he actually lasted for half an hour when he entered the Cold Pond for the first time.
It seemed like we had to invite the old wolf down for a drink, so that the two old men would have something to talk about again.
When he returned to the wooden shed on the cliff with Ruoshui Sword, Li Ye had already changed his clothes, his head was lowered and his whole body was shivering, and he was sitting at the table shivering.
"Have you figured out the benefits of practicing in the cold pool? Or do you not want to continue practicing?" He thought Li Ye was already scared.
However, when Li Ye raised his head and looked at him, there was no longer any chill or trembling expression on his face.
Because he knew that practicing in the cold pool was indeed of great benefit to tempering his body.
Looking at Cai Yuan, he said seriously: "Senior, thank you for your advice. Today I will grill you barbecue and treat you to a drink."
The old ape laughed and said: "It's a good thing to understand. When you went there just now, I saw a reluctant look on your face. I thought you just wanted to practice this time and let me go, so that I wouldn't have to stand on the waterfall anymore. You break the ice.”
Li Ye thought about the miserable sight of putting one foot into the cold pool, and how there was actually a trace of cold heaven and earth energy in his true essence, and he vaguely understood something.
After a moment of silence, he said: "My body seems to have entered a trace of cold heaven and earth energy. What is going on?"
The old ape was stunned for a long time, and then said: "You said you sensed a trace of the vitality of heaven and earth in the glacier?"
Looking at him, he said: "It seems so. Although the progress is not big, I feel some small changes in my body. After practicing for a few more days, our physical body can be more condensed."
"The Body Tempering Mind Technique that I practice is quite special. No matter how much I practice it, I will never make any progress. I will not progress to the next level until my husband and I go to Fangcun Mountain to seek the second half of the Mind Technique. But today in the pond, Cultivation has given me the confidence that I can break through the realm in a short time after obtaining the mental skills behind it.”
The old ape looked at the little boy in front of him, his calm face and hidden determination, his eyes gradually brightened, and he laughed as he looked at it.
He said softly: "You little monster, I practiced hard all winter before I vaguely understood the vitality of heaven and earth in the glacier. I didn't expect you to feel it the first time you entered."
"Just for this reason, I want to have a good drink today, but I don't know if the old wolf will come down from the mountain soon. I'll have a good drink with him, unlike you who only drink half a glass."
The old ape looked at him and smiled and said, for drinking, naturally you have to find the old wolf.
"Of course he is having fun with you, and I don't have the ability to drink." Li Ye replied while being long-winded.
"That's the tacit understanding we've slowly developed over the years we've known each other." The old ape nodded and added two pieces of charcoal to the stove.
Li Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Should I ask Xiaobai to call him, but I'm afraid Xiaobai won't be able to find him in this ice and snow."
"Forget it, don't go looking for him when he comes. I guess this little thing will break out recently and let him lie down in the hole to sleep." The old ape shook his head and said.
"Senior, did you complete your body tempering in this ice pool? I learned this kind of cold that stings to the bone marrow. How many people in this world can withstand it."
Thinking about the biting pain just now, he was still a little scared.
The old ape nodded and said with a smile: "My realm is much higher than yours, but I didn't last long before I came out."
"In order to break the ice at the waterfall just now, I let the cold current rush into the pool and almost couldn't climb to the shore." Li Ye couldn't help but tremble in his heart as he thought about going in tomorrow.
Listening to Li Ye's words, the old ape smiled cheerfully, and his smile became thicker and thicker, as if it was about to overflow.
"Tempering your body in the cold pool is just a way of practice. There are many other methods in the world. Your husband should tell you slowly in the future. No matter how cold the pool is, don't you get used to it if you go in a few more times? Is there any need to be afraid?”
Looking at Li Ye, Lao Yuan said softly.
The kettle of water on the stove was already boiling, making a faint sound.
Li Ye took the tea leaves, washed the pot, rinsed the tea, warmed the cups, and poured fragrant hot tea for the two of them.
It wasn't until half an hour after he came out of the pool that he dared to boil water and make tea, allowing his body to slowly return to normal body temperature.
The old ape picked up the hot tea in front of him, and the smile in his eyes slowly disappeared, revealing a solemn expression.
Looking at Li Ye, he said: "Looking at the way you make tea, I know that you have understood the principle of body tempering in the cold pool. If you are in a hurry to make tea as soon as you come out of the pool, I guarantee that it won't take you long. All your skills will be lost." The old ape murmured.
...
Li Ye smiled: "Didn't you tell me the story about putting ice cubes into a crystal cup filled with boiling water? I hate that I forgot.
Although I am not a child of a wealthy family, I know that our stomachs are much more fragile than that crystal cup, so I definitely dare not risk my own life. "
Thoughts abounded. Li Ye wanted to figure out the cold heaven and earth energy in his true essence. The cold heaven and earth energy in his dantian moved with his thoughts. He tried to get closer to another fiery true essence and combine the two true essences. Metafusion.
The moment two rays of unreal essence met, they were like a sharp knife slashing out, piercing his golden elixir.
There was a "pop" sound, and a blood arrow spurted out from his mouth.
"Senior...how do I fuse these two kinds of true energy, one cold and one hot?" Li Ye took out the silk scarf, gently wiped the blood from his mouth, and said weakly.
The old ape was shocked, pointed at him and cursed: "Are you an idiot? You dare to fuse these two kinds of real energy, water and fire! To tell you the truth, I have two different kinds of real energy in my body. Until now, I haven't found a way to integrate it. Maybe your husband knows."
Li Ye was silent for a moment and said: "It seems that I am still too anxious. I am indeed an idiot."
The old ape said angrily: "Two paths are just two paths. Even if they exist in your Dantian, you don't need to feed them, and they won't affect your practice. You can cultivate your own strength and find a clever way to merge them later." It’s not too late.”
Li Ye looked at him and laughed.
Only then did I understand what the old ape had said before, that cold primeval energy is just like ice cubes in the snow.
Hot essence is hot, just like boiling water in a crystal cup.
Before finding a way to support it, why do we have to combine these two kinds of true essence? Aren't you asking for trouble?
As soon as he thought of this, Li Ye no longer struggled with this troublesome problem, thinking that he would ask for advice when he met his husband in the future, and he would always find a solution in his practice in the future.
He picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip. He looked at the old ape quietly, took a deep breath, and said softly: "The road to cultivation is indeed not smooth sailing."
Not to mention that the coldness in the cold pool was difficult for him to resist for a while. If there were no old ape guarding the pool to break the ice and release water for him, he would not be able to achieve the effect of body tempering.
This is his chance.
"Old senior, I'm really bothering you this time. It's such a cold day and I want you to accompany me to break the ice on the cold pool." Li Ye thought about the old ape standing on the pool and dancing with his sword again and again. Extremely grateful.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you and I need to be so polite?" The old ape held the cup and took a sip of hot tea.
Even he would feel a little tired standing on the cold pool for a long time.
This is Tianshan, it never recognizes you as a stranger or an acquaintance.
Li Ye patted his face and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, it happens when I get excited."
The old ape looked at him, nodded with satisfaction and said, "I know you are grateful from the bottom of your heart, but I don't think this should be the case between us."
Li Ye looked at him blankly and smiled proudly.
