Upon hearing this, the old Taoist pondered for a moment, then nodded and pulled a scroll of silk from his bosom.
With a flick of his wrist, the silk, like a light feather, floated through the air, drifting across a distance of ten meters before landing steadily in front of Xu Yunfan.
Xu Yunfan instinctively reached out to catch it, opening it and seeing the words "Pure Yang Qigong" written on it.
He raised his eyebrows and raised the silk in his hand. Just as he was about to say something, Li Haomiao hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice, "This is even better!"
Xu Yunfan couldn't help but shut his mouth, a smile spreading across his face, and even the old Taoist, who looked at him with a bit of disgust, became a little more pleasing to the eye.
The old Taoist glanced at Fang Mushan next to Xu Yunfan at this time, his expression changed slightly, and he said: "I am Bi Sheng of the Taoist Sect. Young man, are you willing to follow me?"
Fang Mushan, who was standing aside, was stunned. He subconsciously pointed at himself, and his face was full of confusion: "Master Taoist, are you talking about me?"
Bi Sheng nodded slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "You have excellent aptitude, natural supernatural power, and blood like a dragon. You are truly gifted. Are you willing to join my Taoist Sect?" Fang
Mushan had naturally heard of the great reputation of the Taoist Sect. He was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.
As he took his first step, he paused, turned, and bowed to Xu Yunfan, apologetically. "Brother Xu, thank you for your care along the way. If there's a chance, we'll meet again." Xu Yunfan
smiled and replied, "The boat has already passed through the mountains. Brother Fang, just go straight ahead."
When Fang Mushan reached Li Haomiao's side, Bi Sheng, without even a glance at Xu Yunfan, extended two palms as broad as palm-leaf fans, grasped one in each, and vanished in a flash.
Gone!
Xu Yunfan gazed for a long moment, then slowly averted his gaze, gathering himself. He glanced at the Pure Yang Qigong in his hand, pondering to himself.
"You don't know what you're talking about. I'm cheating... Am I really that incompetent?"
Xu Yunfan was about to turn and descend Jiyun Mountain when he suddenly paused, his gaze shifting to Li Miaoyun, who seemed to be merging with the icy landscape.
After Li Haomiao's zhenli sealed her internal energy, she became no different from an ordinary, frail woman. In the mountaintop's temperatures of minus ten to twenty degrees Celsius, without outside intervention, she would quickly freeze to death.
"This person is very useful..."
Xu Yunfan couldn't help but look up at the sky.
"If she's very useful, then take her away!"
This now put Xu Yunfan in a dilemma. He pondered for a moment, then pretended not to notice, turning and quickly leaving. Once they descended Jiyun Mountain, there was a vast world to explore. Why waste time with Li Miaoyun?
Li Miaoyun forced her head up and looked at Xu Yunfan, who had quickly disappeared from sight, her expression slightly dazed.
Ever since she became the Saint of Tianshu Sect, she had been the center of attention wherever she went, treated with respect by everyone, even the Empress treated her with extreme kindness.
Now, she was treated like trash, disdained by even a glance.
Quickly, she gathered herself, forced herself to her feet, and slowly walked down the mountain.
Her feet, previously numb, felt a tingling chill, causing her steps to stumble. The biting cold around her made her shiver.
She took a few slow steps, taking each step slowly.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt her body warm, even radiating a heat.
She paused, sat down to rest, and looked up at the heavy snowfall that was once again drifting down from the sky.
She reached out, caught a snowflake, and held it to her eyes, observing it silently.
"Master, I'm sorry to disappoint you by not bringing Li Haomiao back,"
Li Miaoyun muttered, mumbling something inaudible. As time passed, her body gradually became covered by the snow, until it was completely buried, and her original appearance could no longer be seen.
"How pitiful!"
Behind a large rock not far away, Xu Yunfan casually tossed the stone aside, his face filled with regret. If he hadn't died, he would have needed two more stones, and now was the perfect time.
It was the first time he'd seen someone die in such a way, especially Li Miaoyun, who was incredibly beautiful. With her aura blocked, she looked truly pitiful.
A good death, a wonderful death!
Xu Yunfan suppressed his excitement.
He could still vividly remember Li Miaoyun's words about killing both Fang Mushan and him. He felt uneasy. If he ran away, he might suffer from restless sleep, even with one eye open.
So he resolved to drag Fang Mushan back, and his decision proved to be a good one.
Li Haomiao was a good person; Xu Yunfan would take action if he could.
As for confronting Li Miaoyun up close, Xu Yunfan naturally wouldn't take the risk. This woman was too treacherous, and who knew what she might have in store for her mutual destruction.
He would simply wait patiently for her death.
Xu Yunfan waited silently for an hour. All was still, with only the occasional murmur of the cold wind in his ears.
Until the sky began to pale, the sun slowly peeked out.
In an instant, a golden light pierced the sky like a sharp sword, pouring down and enveloping the entire Cumulus Mountain.
The once gloomy Cumulus Mountain now seemed to be coated in a layer of gold, gleaming brightly. Every inch of land, every rock, was illuminated by the warm sunlight, a golden glow.
Xu Yunfan slowly stood up, stretched, and glanced at Li Miaoyun's burial place in the distance. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he turned and quickly left.
Soon, heavy snow covered the area, quickly obscuring his departure.
With his departure, the snow pile that covered Li Miaoyun seemed to have completely become eternal. The snow on the top of Cumulus Mountain never melts year-round. Unless something unexpected happens, Li Miaoyun will rest there forever.
On the other side of Cumulus Mountain, the mountains are rolling, like a sleeping dragon winding on the earth, and like surging waves of white and green, until they merge with the sky.
Lush trees covered with snow are scattered among them, and the white, green and yellow are intertwined, slowly constructing a picturesque scene.
This is completely different from the 800-mile Arakawa Icefield behind Xu Yunfan.
"It's a good environment."
In the previous life, this scene was rare.
As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down.
But with the light body skills of Feimaotui, Xu Yunfan's lower body speed was extremely fast. It only took him half a day to get down to the foot of the mountain.
Along the way, Xu Yunfan kept practicing Feimaotui, and his proficiency was rising.
"You use your legs to exert force. It seems that you have understood the essence of Feimaotui. Your proficiency has increased."
"When you sprint at full speed, the key to Feimaotui flashes through your mind. In an instant, you break through the bottleneck of speed and your proficiency increases significantly."
"..."
All the way to the foot of the mountain, Xu Yunfan glanced at Feimaotui's proficiency in his field of vision.
779 points.
He looked back at Jiyun Mountain, his eyes full of interest.
Maybe after running back and forth like this a few more times, Feimaotui will also reach the realm of perfection.
Feimaotui is a light-body martial art that trains the tendons. As long as it is perfected, his tendons will also be perfected.
