Chapter 32: Cold Bed and Ice Lotus

  Since the last time Yang Feng almost exposed his identity, the relationship between him and Dongfang Xue has become much colder. The two people don't talk to each other much anymore, each busy with their own cultivation, which makes Jin Gang very puzzled, unclear about what happened between the two of them.

  Yang Feng didn't mind the situation at all, anyway he hadn't planned to have much contact with Dongfang Xue, as long as she didn't interfere with his cultivation. It was also because of the last incident that Dongfang Xue no longer followed Yang Feng to see where he went to cultivate, and Yang Feng was relieved, every day after finishing physical training in the morning, he would go alone to the place found by Xiao Qing to practice various martial arts moves.

  The edge of the snowy land on this side is a precipice, and the mountain valley where Yang Feng and others are located is actually just inside the snowy land. There is still a long distance from the edge of the snowy land, with several mountain peaks in between. After completing his physical training every morning, Yang Feng sets out from the small valley, sprinting forward with his lightness skill, crossing several mountain peaks before reaching the edge of the snowy land.

  Standing on the edge of the cliff, below was a continuous pounding of waves against the cliff wall. At this moment, Yang Feng jumped down without hesitation. If someone saw it, they would think that Yang Feng had jumped to his death. However, as Yang Feng's figure rapidly descended downwards, at the middle position of the thousand-meter-high cliff, there was a very small stone platform that could only hold one person standing. Behind the stone platform was an entrance to a cave that could accommodate one person crawling in.

  Yang Feng's body rapidly descended, and just as he was about to reach the stone platform, he suddenly lifted his energy, and his body instantly fell onto the platform as lightly as a feather, without making a single sound! This was the result of Yang Feng's hard work in cultivation over the past three months. At first, Yang Feng still needed Xiao Qing's help to get down to this platform, but later on, he slowly began to come down by himself, from initially needing to stop several times midway, to now being able to leap all the way down without any stops at all, and reach the platform, fully demonstrating the enormous progress Yang Feng had made in these three months!

  Yang Feng arrived at the top of the stone platform and then crawled into the cave entrance. A large part of this mountain cave was a narrow passage, and Yang Feng had to crawl for a long time every time he came. This was also one of the most frustrating things for Yang Feng. Fortunately, Yang Feng treated crawling in the cave as a way to exercise himself, so he didn't feel any annoyance, and continued to crawl forward like this.

  After Yang Feng crawled out of the cave, in front of him was a cave. The cave wasn't very big and was quite bright. Everything inside could be seen clearly. This wasn't because light from outside was shining into the cave, but rather because the things inside the cave naturally emitted a radiant glow that illuminated the entire cave.

  In this cave, there are only a few things. First of all, there is the ice that has accumulated for tens of thousands of years. The entire ground of the cave is covered with ice, so you have to be careful when walking inside, otherwise you will definitely end up with a bruised face. When Yang Feng was first brought here by Xiao Qing, he had already fainted from slipping and falling.

  Secondly, in the center of the cave there is a small pool several square meters in size. The water inside the pool is icy cold and Yang Feng still doesn't dare to approach it until now. Inside the small pool, however, are over ten lotus flowers that seem to be made of ice, each one so white and transparent, emitting a milky white glow. These few ice lotuses are the only source of light in the entire cave.

  The last thing in the cave was a bed-like place, which was a long and narrow platform that could fit one person lying on it. The bed seemed to be made of ice, but it felt different from the icy lotus in the small pool, as it emitted a gentle chill that wouldn't affect Yang Feng's cultivation.

  To sum it up, this cave is essentially an ice cellar. Ordinary people simply can't stay here. Yang Feng was still relying on the true energy within his body, plus he had already adapted to the environment over such a long period of time, and only then did he slowly get used to it.

  Xiao Qing had been here since the time he helped Yang Feng kill the Ice Bear, because Yang Feng wanted to find a place where no one would discover him to practice his martial arts techniques. Xiao Qing seemed to have a special fondness for those ice lotus flowers, and whenever he was free, he would pick the smallest one and eat it, then remain motionless for a long time, with a thick layer of frost covering his body, emitting a cold aura that made people dare not approach him.

  Yang Feng only realized that when he met Xiao Qing in the cave, Xiao Qing was sealed inside a huge ice block. That was because someone had been cultivating it, and once Xiao Qing digested the green lotus, she would naturally break out of the ice. However, Yang Feng had absorbed the cold ice around Xiao Qing's body, which accelerated her cultivation progress. But what Yang Feng didn't know was that Xiao Qing followed him not because he helped her, but because he cultivated the Nine Yin Scripture and Nine Yang Divine Skill, with a strong yin-yang energy inside his body. This yin-yang energy was exactly what Xiao Qing needed to cultivate, so she followed Yang Feng.

  Yang Feng arrived at the cave today and found that Xiao Qing was still lying inside, with a thick layer of frost on its body. This was the result of eating an ice lotus previously. Now, Xiao Qing had recovered to its true form, and its body had grown nearly ten meters longer than before. The thickness hadn't changed much, but after eating several ice lotuses, two protrusions appeared on Xiao Qing's massive head, similar to the initial growth of a deer's antlers. Moreover, it was unclear whether this was due to eating the ice lotus, but Xiao Qing's originally all-green python skin gradually showed a hint of white color.

  Seeing Xiao Qing still in cultivation, Yang Feng naturally did not disturb him. He practiced his current martial arts moves alone in a relatively flat area of the cave, repeating them over and over until he was completely exhausted before stopping.

  Yang Feng was always activating the gravity while practicing these moves, and now he can still only withstand seven times the gravity without increasing it anymore. This is the limit that his body can currently withstand. Yang Feng clearly knows that if his Easy Tendon and Bone Tempering chapter doesn't make progress, then seven times the gravity is already the maximum gravity he can currently withstand. So Yang Feng isn't greedy for more, knowing this is his limit, and has been maintaining training under this gravity.

  After his body had no strength, Yang Feng removed the gravity and walked to the cold bed, sat cross-legged, and began to practice the Easy Tendon and Bone Tempering Chapter. In this environment where the cold air was extremely thick and the yin and yang were out of balance, it was obviously impossible to cultivate the Nine Yin True Classics and the Nine Yang Divine Skills. However, Yang Feng unexpectedly discovered that when he practiced various martial arts moves, the cold air in the cave would always move towards him and be absorbed by his body. The absorbed cold air did not transform into the true energy of the Nine Yin True Classics but was distributed throughout Yang Feng's flesh and blood, making his body more and more tenacious. This situation was even better when Yang Feng had no strength left and sat cross-legged on the cold bed! This is also why Yang Feng comes here to practice every day!

  The Muscle/Tendon Changing and Marrow/Brain Washing Classic originally belonged to the category of dynamic qigong, which requires constant movement for cultivation. When Yang Feng first practiced the Muscle/Tendon Changing and Marrow/Brain Washing Classic, he would continuously pummel trees in a small valley with his body, punch them with his fists, and kick them with his feet. Later, he used the same method to pummel walls, all of which were necessary for his practice of the Muscle/Tendon Changing and Marrow/Brain Washing Classic.

  Only by constantly exercising one's body can one cause changes in the flesh and blood, making the meridians more robust and expansive, the bones harder and denser, ultimately transforming one's physical constitution entirely - this is the greatest effect of practicing the Easy Tendon and Hard Bone Chapter.

  Yang Feng now uses the Gravity Belt to keep himself under constant gravitational pressure, so he no longer needs to be so harsh on his body. He only needs to do some physical training every day and then practice various martial arts moves, which can completely replace his previous way of cultivation.

  However, Yang Feng found that during his cultivation here, the cold air would constantly surge into his body, spreading throughout his flesh and blood, continuously transforming his body, making the cultivation of Yi Jin Jing much faster. Moreover, after exhausting all his strength and sitting on the ice bed to cultivate Yi Jin Jing, the effect was even better.

  Yang Feng was overjoyed by this discovery, so he had been insisting on coming here to practice all along, just to make a breakthrough in the Easy Tendon and Bone Tempering Chapter, making his physique truly reach the realm of rebirth!
