When He Yiming pushed open the door, he immediately saw a familiar face.
The Medicine Man beamed as he looked at He Yiming. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Elder He, have you made another breakthrough?"
He Yiming was slightly taken aback. "What breakthrough are you talking about, Medicine Elder?" he asked in return.
The Medicine Man said excitedly, "I've already heard from Martial Uncle Yu that when you were chasing Suo Ge and the others for thousands of kilometers, you've already successfully condensed two flowers." He paused for a moment and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The expression on his face also became a little nervous. "Elder He, did you achieve another breakthrough in your closed door cultivation this time? Have you reached the Three Flowers at One's Prominence stage? "
Although He Yiming's mental fortitude was no longer what it used to be, he still couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"How did you come to such a conclusion, Medicine Elder?" He Yiming took a deep breath and asked in annoyance.
When he saw the expression on He Yiming's face, the Medicine Man seemed to understand something. He let out a long sigh and said, "Elder He, you have been in seclusion for an entire month. That's why we misunderstood. Sigh …" He shook his head, as if he felt extremely regretful and incredulous that He Yiming hadn't made a breakthrough.
He Yiming finally shook his head. A look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry flashed across his eyes.
The higher the level of the martial path, the more difficult it was to make a breakthrough. Even if one went into seclusion for 30 years, they still might not be able to successfully condense a third flower, let alone a month. As for successfully condensing one's Prominence, that was even more of an extravagant hope.
"Medicine Elder, you are also a martial artist. Furthermore, you are a Xiantian Elder. Do you really think that someone can successfully condense a third flower and condense their Prominence after a month of seclusion?"
The Medicine Man was slightly taken aback. He thought about it for a moment, then said seriously, "I wouldn't believe it if it was someone else. However, if it was Elder He, I wouldn't doubt it at all. "
His words were resolute and decisive, without the slightest bit of reluctance.
He Yiming finally understood when he saw the look in the Medicine Man's eyes. It turned out that the old man had such a strong impression of him.
After a period of seclusion, no matter how dazzling the achievements were, it seemed to be a matter of course. However, it would be inconceivable if he didn't gain anything.
He Yiming didn't know if he should rejoice or feel sad when faced with such a treatment that was completely different from others.
With a long sigh, He Yiming asked, "Medicine Elder, why are you here?"
"To protect you, of course." The alchemy daoist waved his sleeve and said: "Ever since you entered the ancestral chamber, Martial Uncle Yu ordered the three of us to take turns to guard this place and not let anyone disturb you until you come out on your own."
He Yiming raised his eyebrows as an indescribable warmth welled up in his heart.
While he was in the secret chamber, he was completely focused on reading the books and didn't bother with anything else. However, it was precisely because of this almost extreme learning attitude that he gained so much this time.
After reading through the experiences of all the seniors above One-Line Heaven, he actually felt like he had experienced countless trials and tribulations.
The reading this time had broadened his horizons. More importantly, it had allowed him to have a comprehensive understanding of the cultivation methods of each element, and he was able to organize them systematically. Although he couldn't see any effect at the moment, this kind of knowledge would become incomparably important as he continued to improve.
He Yiming bowed deeply to the Medicine Man and said softly: "Thank you, Medicine Elder."
The Medicine Man hurriedly helped him up and said: "Elder He, you're now the pillar of our Hengshan lineage and the hope of our sect in the future. How can I, I, accept such a bow from you?"
He Yiming shook his head: "You're my ancestor's master and you're as close as father and son to him. Why can't you accept that?"
The Medicine Man smiled bitterly: "Elder He, have you forgotten that the strong are respected on the path of martial arts? That's an ironclad rule."
He Yiming was slightly taken aback before bursting into laughter: "Aren't these ironclad rules made by the strong …"
His voice gradually softened, but his lips curled into a disdainful smile. The Medicine Man shivered inside as if he had understood something. He sighed and said no more.
The two of them walked side by side and left the secret chamber in the back hall of the ancestral hall.
He Yiming's emergence immediately reached the ears of Yu Jinglei and the others. By the time He Yiming returned to his residence on the main peak, Yu Jinglei and the others had already arrived.
Unlike the Medicine Man who had high hopes for He Yiming, Yu Jinglei was much calmer.
He looked at He Yiming for a while and smiled: "Elder He, it looks like you've gained a lot from your seclusion this time."
He Yiming waved his hand and said: "I've indeed gained some insights, but it's hard to say when I'll be able to take another step."
Yu Jinglei laughed out loud: "Progress on the path of martial arts is highly dependent on chance, but I believe that with your talent, you'll definitely be able to reach the Three Flowers at One's Prominence."
Behind Yu Jinglei, a glint flashed across Zhu Baqi's eyes. He slowly nodded his head and said, "Brother Yu is right. If even Elder He is unable to successfully advance, then I'm afraid that no one in the world will be able to do so."
The two of them had joined hands to fight against He Yiming. Although they had stopped at a certain point and the victor had yet to be decided, both parties were well aware that in his heart, there was no longer the slightest thought of underestimating He Yiming.
He Yiming nodded at Zhu Baqi as a greeting, but he did not say anything.
Yu Jinglei stopped smiling and asked seriously: "Elder He, how do you feel after reading your seniors' insights this time?"
He Yiming shook his head with a bitter smile. He knew why Yu Jinglei was asking this question: "I've read through all the secret manuals left behind by the elders of Hengshan. Although I've gained a lot, there's no precedent for the fusion of the Two Flowers, nor have I seen any related records."
A look of disappointment flashed across Yu Jinglei's face. He had already successfully condensed the Wood and Water Flowers decades ago. Since then, he had not made any further progress, and he knew that his life's achievements had come to an end. It would be difficult for him to condense another flower that was like a tripod of three legs.
However, after seeing He Yiming's Two Flowers of Wind and Fire this time, he could not help but feel tempted. In the deepest part of his heart, he still wanted to go further on the martial path.
Nevertheless, since He Yiming could not tell how the Two Flowers of Wind and Fire merged, it was even more impossible for Zhu Baqi to figure it out. For a moment, the idea that had just arisen seemed to have been extinguished by water, and Zhu Baqi became listless.
Zhu Baqi suddenly interrupted: "Elder He, there are a few seniors in Tianchi Mountain, and there's no lack of almighty figures among them. If you ask them for advice, you might be able to comprehend something."
He Yiming's eyes lit up. Of course, he knew that those who were regarded as important figures by Zhu Baqi must be peerless experts with the Three Flowers at One's Prominence.
Yu Jinglei was surprised. He asked: "Brother Zhu, are the seniors in Tianchi's main branch willing to open their doors to guests?"
Zhu Baqi smiled. "If it's an ordinary guest, it's naturally impossible, but if they know that there's a peerless figure like Brother He in Tianchi's branch, the seniors will surely view you in a different light."
Zhu Baqi was very clear. If Yu Jinglei went, he would not be able to meet the seniors, but if He Yiming went, it would be a different story.
Although Yu Jinglei understood the meaning behind the other party's words, he did not feel the slightest bit angry. Instead, he gently nodded his head and said, "Elder He, viewing one's cultivation experience cannot be compared to personally receiving the guidance of those elders. In my opinion, you should personally make a trip to Tian Chi Mountain."
He Yiming glanced at Zhu Baqi and Zhu Baqi, and he found it strange. 'Why are they echoing each other? Did they plan this beforehand?'
However, at the thought of being able to see those legendary experts with his own eyes, He Yiming couldn't help but look forward to it.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Alright, in that case, He will go to Tianchi's main branch. Please take care of me, Brother Zhu."
Zhu Baqi and Yu Jinglei breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They exchanged a look and said with a smile, "Since Elder He has decided, when will we set off?"
He Yiming pondered for a moment. "Three days later, we'll set off." He paused for a moment. "In these three days, I want to think about something." He stood up and looked into the distance. At this moment, everyone had a strange feeling that He Yiming's thoughts were no longer here.
After a long time, He Yiming seemed to have finally recovered. He said, "Elder Yu, please prepare something for me. I need it …"
※ ※ ※
After watching He Yiming leave, Zhu Baqi asked after a long time, "Brother Yu, don't you plan to tell him the truth?"
Yu Jinglei gave a wry smile. "It doesn't matter. Elder He will know when he arrives at Tianchi Mountain."
Zhu Baqi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly. "I really don't understand why those old guys would do such a thing. If He Yiming knows …"
Yu Jinglei's expression changed slightly. He waved his hand and vigilantly scanned the surroundings, as if he was afraid of something.
Zhu Baqi lifted his head. "Brother Yu, there's no need to worry. Since Elder He took incense and candles as offerings, he must have gone to pay tribute to Shui Xuanjin. With his movement technique, I'm afraid he has already left the mountain."
Yu Jinglei finally relaxed. He said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know why those old guys did this, since they agreed to bear the revenge of the Wolf Totem Clan, then do I have a choice?"
Zhu Baqi looked at him with a strange expression. "Brother Yu, when He Yiming left the mountain to chase after Suo Ge and the others, you didn't say that."
Yu Jinglei was silent for a moment, and finally sighed. "Brother Zhu, on that day, did you really think he could kill all the totem clansmen?"
Zhu Baqi was suddenly tongue-tied. Before He Yiming came back, they all thought that He Yiming could kill one or two totem envoys and some totem clansmen.
In any case, it was impossible to imagine that he would actually accomplish such an almost impossible task.
A moment later, Zhu Baqi looked at the frowning Yu Jinglei and comforted him. "Brother Yu, please don't worry. Elder He is definitely the most talented person in the history of the Martial Way in the Northwest. No matter what those old guys think, it's impossible for them to harm Elder He. "
A trace of helplessness surfaced on Yu Jinglei's face as he said, "I know this as well. Otherwise, I would rather have all the disciples of Heng Mountain leave Heng Mountain and hide outside for a few decades than agree to persuade Elder He to go to Tian Chi Mountain."
Zhu Baqi patted his old friend on the shoulder. "I hope those old guys won't go too far."
Yu Jinglei sighed. "I hope so …"
※ ※ ※
After leaving Yu Jinglei and the others, He Yiming immediately turned into a gust of wind and drifted away from the Hengshan Range.
His speed was extremely fast, reaching the level of a bird. Even a real bird in the sky might not be faster than He Yiming at this moment. In less than two hours, they had already arrived at a secluded valley.
This was a place he was very familiar with. Besides him, only Yuan Lixun knew about this place.
At this time, Yuan Lixun naturally could not be here. After He Yiming entered the valley, he came straight to a lonely grave.
In this picturesque place, there was only a single tall tombstone. Naturally, it was very eye-catching.
He Yiming came to the grave. He looked at it silently for a while, then took out the silver ring that he carried with him. A large amount of essential qi was poured into it, and the mysterious space suddenly appeared again.
He Yiming reached out and took out incense, candles, a black wooden table, and some food and wine offerings.
He gently pinched the wick of the candle, and the strong power of fire immediately ignited the incense.
Looking at the dim candlelight, He Yiming sat down quietly. Although he knew that Shui Xuanjin would no longer be able to enjoy these things, he still chose the same method as ordinary people.
When the incense was half lit, He Yiming's hand reached into the mysterious space again.
There was a strange snake that had already been split into two and was completely dead. There was also a Red Wolf that had its head cut off.
He Yiming reached out and grabbed the Red Wolf King's big fangs. Essential qi was poured into it, and he actually pulled the big fangs out.
The Red Wolf King's fangs were sharp, and they were not inferior even when compared to ordinary swords and relics.
Under the infusion of He Yiming's essential qi, the dagger shone even more brightly, making it difficult for people to look at it directly.
With a gentle stroke, the strange snake's skin suddenly cracked open.
When the strange snake was alive, it might have been able to use some special abilities to block He Yiming's dagger. However, at this moment, it was like an ordinary cloth that was easily cut open.
After He Yiming skinned the strange snake, he found a strange Neidan in its head.
This Neidan was very small and slender. If He Yiming didn't personally take it out of the strange snake's head, he wouldn't have been able to confirm that this thing was a thousand year mutated spirit beast Neidan.
After finishing all of this, he did the same thing as before and skinned the Red Wolf King.
After finding a pile of dry branches, He Yiming started a fire and threw the two spirit beasts into the fire. Watching the fire slowly burn, he was also absent-minded.
Shui Xuanjin died under the Snake-Man's dagger. However, if Suo Ge didn't want to kill him, Shui Xuanjin wouldn't have died trying to save him.
Although He Yiming killed the Snake-Man and Suo Ge, he wasn't willing to bring their corpses to this place. Therefore, he brought the two spirit beasts here and burned them in front of Shui Xuanjin's grave.
Replacing humans with beasts was He Yiming's way of doing things.
If he let Suo Ge and the Snake-Man come back to life, they would probably be angered to death again.
He Yiming sat there like this, waiting for the fire in front of him to slowly grow smaller.
Intentionally or unintentionally, He Yiming turned his head. There, a lonely and tall figure silently stood there.
After following He Yiming to this place, he had been standing there without moving. His gaze had always been focused on He Yiming, as if he didn't notice the simple cover on the mountain wall.
Before chasing after Suo Ge, He Yiming had deliberately avoided him to come here. However, after returning from the fire cave, He Yiming no longer avoided him.
Even if he discovered this hidden valley and the white stone hidden in the valley, He Yiming didn't care.
Because when he turned into a glaive, that feeling of flesh and blood was something he would never forget.
It was because of this feeling that He Yiming didn't break away from his pursuit, but instead let him come here.
He Yiming retracted his gaze, as if he hadn't discovered him at all. He Yiming poured a cup of wine in front of the grave.
"Brother Shui, I have already avenged you …" He Yiming slowly said, "The ninety-six wolf totem clansmen, the mission totem envoys, the two great envoys, and the two damned spirit beasts have all been killed. I … "His voice suddenly paused, and after a moment, he said:" Not a single one was left. "
Closing his eyes, the old man's voice and appearance seemed to reappear in front of his eyes.
A gust of wind blew from afar, circling in front of He Yiming's body and slowly dissipating. The dust that had flown up because of the burning slowly flew in front of him with this wind.
He Yiming silently stared at the dust in front of him, and softly said: "Brother Shui, are you here? If you don't answer, I'll take it that you're here. "
The whistling sound of the wind blew past his ears, as if responding to He Yiming's question.
He raised the wine cup in front of the grave, and gently scattered the wine on the ground. His eyes gradually became firm.
"Brother Shui, I know that what you care about is not whether or not I have avenged you … I know what you're thinking … Don't worry, I will fulfill your wish for you. Tian Luo Kingdom will definitely become the strongest kingdom in the Northwest … "
His voice was not loud, but it reverberated throughout the small valley. It was as if countless people were making a promise at the same time, and it drifted far, far away …
