In the morning, a gentle breeze stirs, birdsong echoes, and bright sunlight pours down on the entire land. The trees are lush and verdant, giving people a sense of vitality and vigor.

  "Is this the place?" A voice asked doubtfully, looking at the small cave in front of them.

  This is a dense forest with lush trees, located in a remote area behind the Han familys mountain! The surroundings are covered with thick weeds. If it werent for Wang Chen clearing away these fallen leaves and weeds, probably no one would have discovered this place. Even under Wang Chens leadership, the two of them arrived here after expending quite some effort.

  "Right, its this way!" With a nod, Wang Chen took a step forward and walked to the entrance of the cave. He cleared away the thick fallen leaves on the ground, and in an instant, he could feel a cold gust blowing towards him, making him shiver even in the sweltering summer heat.

  This place was discovered by him in an accidental situation, and at that time, he had just walked in less than twenty meters before almost being frozen stiff inside, and then escaped in a sorry state. Its a vivid memory, if not for Ling Zhan saying that a cold place is needed to help with his cultivation, he really didnt want to come here again.

  "Lets go in and take a look!" Ling Zhan said with a serious expression, seemingly also feeling the chill.

  With a hint of expectation, Wang Chen carefully made his way inside, the narrow passageway forcing them to proceed sideways. After advancing about ten meters or so, they suddenly found themselves face to face with an eerie atmosphere that seemed to have transformed from summer to winter in an instant. The air was cool and damp, with gusts of cold wind blowing towards them, making their hair stand on end.

  Drip, drip, drip... At the top of the cave, a drop of clear water fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. Occasionally, one or two drops landed on Wang Chens body, instantly giving him goosebumps and causing him to shudder violently.

  As it advances gradually, the passage becomes wider and wider, developing to a width of two or three meters, with the entire passage presenting a tapering shape, narrower outside and wider inside.

  When the two of them had advanced about fifty or sixty meters, the temperature on this side had already completely reached a freezing point, as if it were a snowy winter day, icy and bone-piercingly cold.

  If it werent for the true yuan force, relying on the faint flow of true yuan within his body to bring him a hint of warmth, Wang Chen would have been unable to bear it long ago.

  After a while, they arrived at the end, and in front of them was an underground cave about the size of a room! In the center of the cave was a water pool about the size of a washbasin, which was particularly eye-catching, reflecting a faint light in the darkness, sparkling.

  "Ah... Cold Pond! This place actually has this thing!" Ling Zhans eyes widened as he stared at the puddle, his voice trembling with incredulity.

  "An icy pool?" Wang Chen asked in puzzlement. This puddle was indeed ice-cold to the bone, and he could feel a blast of cold air hitting him right in the face just by standing at the edge. He couldnt imagine what it would be like to dive into the water.

  "Its even better than I imagined, its the Cold Spring, a place of utmost yin energy. It takes tens of thousands of years to form, and its wonders are beyond words! Youll soon experience its benefits for yourself." He then turned his head to look at Wang Chen excitedly.

  Han Tang, such a genius treasure actually appeared in this place without anyone discovering it, and Ling Zhan was really excited. It can be imagined what the situation would be like if this Han Tang were discovered by others.

  An excellent place for cultivation, an excellent place for physical training, is a place that any martial artist dreams of.

  "Well, youre now at the Cold Pond edge cultivating your True Yuan Force. Let me see if theres any other discovery!" Ling Zhan said to Wang Chen after a moment of contemplation.

  He came here to find a cold and gloomy place for him to cultivate, but now it seems that it has exceeded his imagination. With a hint of curiosity in his heart, Ling Zhan walked towards the side.

  The entire cave interior shows obvious signs of artificial carving, and even in the narrow passage where we entered, Ling Zhan carefully observed and vaguely found some excavation marks. This place must have been visited by someone before, and its not easy to find such a place and conceal it so well. Its definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Who knows what other unexpected discoveries might be made.

  Upon hearing Ling Zhans words, Wang Chen sat down cross-legged at the edge of the Cold Pond and began to cultivate.

  At that moment, I only felt a terrifying chill rising from the ground, and my whole body was like sitting on a huge ice block, even more severe, with dark winds swirling around and cold currents surging.

  With one breath in and out, all I see is thick white air. Whats being inhaled is the vital energy, while whats being exhaled is hot air.

  A thin layer of white frost had condensed on his eyebrows and hair, emitting a chill.

  The true yuan force circulating within his body brought a hint of warmth to Wang Chen, preventing him from being frozen stiff.

  Under such a cold scene, Wang Chen obviously felt the difficulty, and the condensation of his true yuan power seemed to be nearly twice as slow as before.

  However, the true yuan that enters ones own body is exceptionally robust. If every yuanqi in the outside world can be described as a child, then the yuanqi here can be called middle-aged, with excellent efficacy.

  A wisp of yuanqi was laboriously absorbed into his body, starting to flow through his meridians, bringing a warm feeling. After a moment, Wang Chen finally got rid of the previous chill invasion, and it seemed that from the depths of every cell, a faint heat began to emanate.

  These things are the energy left in the body after a period of time that has not been consumed by taking medicine baths.

  Under such severe oppression, they began to be drawn out and re-absorbed.

  Until the true yuan force in his body was fully replenished, reaching a point of saturation, Wang Chen slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, as if a wisp of white mist that dispersed and gradually disappeared into the air.

  Slowly opening his eyes, a faint smile appeared on his face. His true yuan force had solidified another fraction, and now he could feel his progress every day. This feeling was great.

  "Hey... kid, look what I found?" At the moment when Wang Chen just opened his eyes, Ling Zhans virtual image appeared in front of him and excitedly said.

  By his side lay two ancient objects, a worn-out sheepskin scroll and a jet-black armguard, which still emitted a faint dark glow in this dimly lit place, making it particularly eye-catching.

  With a puzzled expression, he picked up the worn-out sheepskin scroll and took a look. Wang Chens face suddenly lit up with excitement.

  "Ghost step!" Wang Chen exclaimed.

  At this moment, what was in his hand turned out to be a secret manual of Kung Fu, and its name was Ghost Step.

  A kind of footwork martial art, practitioners cultivate their body, cultivate their energy, and cultivate their footwork. Among them, footwork is not only the most basic but also the most important. A good set of footwork secrets can play an unexpectedly great role in combat.

  Suppressing his excited mood, Wang Chen continued to look down: Ghost Steps, divided into three stages. The first stage is small accomplishment, fleeting and uncertain. The second stage is entering subtlety, directly reaching the heart of people. The third stage is great accomplishment, like a charming shadow, elusive and unpredictable, changing in countless ways...

  After reading a brief introduction, Wang Chen was thoroughly stunned. This was an abstruse and profound martial art, vast and intricate, with a powerful footwork that was unmatched.

  "Haha...... Kid, how is it? This is an intermediate martial skill of the Mystic Stage, youve made a big profit!" Seeing Wang Chens excited appearance, Ling Zhan also sighed and said on the side.

  "Mid-tier of the Mystic Steps!" Wang Chen couldnt help but take a sharp breath in!

  The Tianxuan Continent, where the cultivation methods and martial techniques are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow, with a total of twelve ranks! The higher the rank, the stronger the cultivation method, until one reaches the Heaven-level cultivation methods and martial techniques, which are priceless and sought after by all.

  "This is actually a Xuanjie Wugong! The entire Han family probably doesnt have such a high-level martial skill, and even in the royal family of old, there were only a handful."

  Especially when it comes to footwork techniques, in terms of gongfa and wuqi, the value of gongfa is far higher than that of wuqi. However, there is a special exception among wuqi, which is stepping technique. A good stepping technique can be compared to a gongfa secret manual!

  A well-known saying circulating on the mainland goes like this: "One step of law is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"

  No matter how good the martial arts skills are, without flexible footwork, they are equal to zero. "A hundred practices are not as good as one walk", flexible and varied footwork plays a crucial role in combat. It can be imagined that the preciousness and rarity of footwork in martial arts.

  "Haha……no wonder, saying its a mysterious middle-tier is an understatement, damn it, this guy has cultivated it to the point of perfection, I think it can rival the footsteps of the earth tier! You little brat, cherish it well!" Ling Zhan sighed and said, himself having also read through this footwork martial skill, deeply shocked by its profound mysteries.

  Such a powerful martial skill, once it appears on the mainland, will inevitably be coveted by countless strong practitioners.

  Cháng Cháng took a deep breath and let himself calm down, carefully putting the worn-out sheepskin scroll into his bosom to prevent it from getting lost.

  This is his first martial art book and also the most important one.

  "Whats with this wrist guard?" He picked up another object from the ground and fiddled with it in his hand, a dark-colored wrist guard that didnt seem to have anything special about it, Wang Chen asked doubtfully.

  "This thing you cant use now, just put it away for the time being. When you become a true warrior, it will give you a big surprise!" Ling Zhan said slowly with a hint of mystery on his face.

  This trip can be said to have gained a lot, Cold Pool, Ghost Step, mysterious wrist guard, all of which are treasures, making this cave even more mysterious.
