"Qingshan, climb the Double-headed Mountain in front and you will see the Frost Jade Pool." Teng Qinghu pointed at a mountain in front of them.
After hearing so much, Teng Qingshan became even more curious and thought, "It's so magical. I really want to see it." The group of hunters advanced quickly. Having lived in the mountains for a long time, the Great Yan Mountain was like their own backyard. They could easily know which places were safe and which places were dangerous.
As the saying goes, "Looking at the mountain runs the horse to death."
Although the Double-headed Mountain was only a small mountain, it was still quite a distance away from Teng Qingshan's group. After walking for almost an hour, the group finally climbed to the top of the Double-headed Mountain. The wind at the top of the mountain was very strong, but it was very comfortable.
"Qingshan, the pool on the mountainside is the Frost Jade Pool." Teng Qinghu immediately pointed downwards.
Teng Qingshan looked in the direction that Teng Qinghu pointed. There was indeed a white light on the mountainside. After looking carefully, he could tell that it was the surface of the water.
"Let's go down." Teng Qingshan took the lead and went down the mountain.
With a single leap, Teng Qing Shan jumped down from a rock that was five to six meters high and landed on the flat ground halfway up the mountain. He had finally arrived at the location of the Frost Jade Pool.
"This place is really cold." Teng Qingshan exclaimed, "I am still seven to eight meters away from the edge of the Frost Jade Pool, but I can still feel the temperature around me dropping. The temperature is definitely below zero. "
"Haha …" The other clansmen also arrived. Teng Yonghao laughed loudly and said, "Qingshan, how is it? You feel cold, right? We are still three Zhang away from the edge of the pool. Moreover, the feeling right now is not that strong. If you came here in the hot summer, you would have to wear a cotton-padded jacket in this place even though it is extremely hot in other places! "
Teng Qingshan exclaimed, "Nature is really magical."
"Hey, brothers, let's start filling the water tanks." The other clansmen immediately filled the water tanks.
"Phew, it's so cold." The clansmen who threw the water tanks into the water couldn't help but sigh.
Teng Qingshan carefully observed the water of the Frost Jade Pool. The water of the pool was very clear. If one were to look carefully, they would be able to discover … that the entire surface of the lake was suffused with an extremely weak purple color. If he just scooped up the water, he wouldn't be able to find any color at all. The water was still clear.
Squatting beside the pond, Teng Qingshan could feel a chill rushing towards his face. He reached his hand into the pond, and his hand instantly became numb from the cold.
"Chi —" Teng Qingshan gasped. "It's really cold. It's at least negative fifty to sixty degrees!"
In his previous life, Teng Qingshan had lived in the most desolate place in Siberia and received hellish training. It was normal for it to be negative 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. The coldest time, it had been negative 70 to 80 degrees Celsius. However, the area where Teng Jia Village was located was in the middle of winter, and the temperature was at most a few degrees below zero.
The water was unexpectedly cold to this extent. It was inconceivable.
Beside him, Teng Qinghu saw Teng Qingshan put his hand into the water and couldn't help but exclaim, "Qingshan, don't put your hand in. You'll freeze."
"It's okay." Teng Qingshan smiled. The muscles in his hand trembled, and his inner strength flowed, easily dispelling the chill.
Experts of the Internal Martial Arts were not afraid of the cold. It was normal for them to wear an unlined garment in winter.
"Uncles, fill up the water tanks first, then go to the side and rest for a while. We'll set off later." After Teng Qingshan finished speaking, he once again focused his attention on the Frost Jade Pool. The Frost Jade Pool itself was three Zhang wide and five to six Zhang long. "This water is so cold. How can it be used as a quenching agent?"
Although he knew nothing about forging weapons, he had seen the scene of forging weapons and then putting them into water.
"If an extremely hot weapon is put into such cold water, won't the weapon shatter due to the intense change in temperature?" Teng Qingshan thought to himself.
If his words were known by the weaponsmiths, they would probably die of laughter. There were many ways to truly quench, such as "partial quenching", "pre-cooling quenching", "air quenching", "multiple types of quenching agents", and so on. Let alone the water of the Frost Jade Pool, even the coldest water could be used by weaponsmiths as a quenching agent.
However, the colder the quenching agent, the better the quenching agent. It needed to be suitable.
Different weapon materials, forging methods, and unique quenching agents would form unique weapons. The Frost Jade Saber was created by the ancestors of Teng Jia Village over a thousand years. Aside from Teng Jia Village, there was no other place that could forge the Frost Jade Saber.
"I'm just a layman, so I shouldn't think too much. Since Father and the others want to use this water as a quenching agent, there must be a way to use it." Teng Qingshan stopped thinking about it.
"However, this water is so cold. When I start my 'Strongest Plan', I can use the Frost Jade Pool to stimulate my body." Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up. When his body produced inner strength at the age of three, Teng Qingshan formulated a training plan for himself.
When he was just born, it was to train his flexibility.
At the age of three, he started to practice Xing Yi Martial Arts. He used inner strength to continuously stimulate his bones and strengthen his muscles. This stage would continue until he was about ten years old.
In Teng Qingshan's plan, the most important part was the 'Strongest Plan'.
The stage of the 'Strongest Plan' was the puberty stage!
The puberty stage of the human body usually started for boys around the age of ten. Of course, there were some boys who started at the age of fourteen or fifteen. During this puberty stage, the bones and muscles of the whole body would advance by leaps and bounds. It was an extremely shocking improvement. It was normal for a boy to grow twenty centimeters in a year. This was the stage where the human body grew the fastest!
Teng Qingshan's' Strongest Plan 'was formulated based on the principle that the body would advance by leaps and bounds during puberty.
"In my previous life, I had to undergo hellish training in Siberia from the age of seven, squeezing out too much of my potential. When I arrived at Master's place, Master only told me to focus on 'nurturing' so that I could make up for the deficit in my body. I only relied on various medicinal herbs to practice a pair of Iron Sand Palms. I didn't dare to practice more. "
The puberty stage of the human body was a natural gift from Heaven and Earth. It was very magical.
For ordinary people, if they liked to exercise during the puberty stage, it was normal for them to grow ten or twenty centimeters taller.
However, if they didn't eat well during the puberty stage, they would be malnourished and their body would not grow well. When they were in their twenties, no matter how good the food, it would be difficult to make up for it.
The puberty stage was the best time to strengthen and transform the body!
Of course, if one didn't have a hundred percent certainty and randomly forced training, it would only lead to excessive training. The body wouldn't be able to bear it and leave behind a lifetime of regret.
"The puberty stage of the human body is a gift from Heaven. It is the best time to change and strengthen the body. If you miss it, there will be no more! In my previous life, because the amount of energy required to practice the Iron Sand Palms was too much, it required the assistance of various medicinal herbs. Otherwise, before I could master the Iron Sand Palms, my palms would be crippled. "Teng Qingshan was very clear about the dangers of strengthening the body during the puberty stage.
"In my previous life, I needed external medicinal herbs, but in this life, I don't need them."
Teng Qingshan was full of confidence, "Since I was three years old, my inner strength has been stimulating and fusing into my bones and muscles. Now, the strength of my bones and muscles far exceeds that of an ordinary adult. I can completely carry out my 'Strongest Plan'. Moreover, the medicinal herbs are fused from the outside. But now, my inner strength is vigorous. I can completely use inner strength to replenish the energy consumed for the transformation of my bones and muscles! "
To strengthen the bones and muscles, they needed energy!
What is energy?
When ordinary people grow, their appetite increases greatly. This is because they need to consume a large amount of energy. And when a martial artist practiced the Iron Sand Palms, the bones and muscles in his palms would consume a lot of energy. Just the energy from eating was not enough, so he needed the assistance of medicinal herbs.
And the medicinal herbs were, after all, an external force. Of course, it was not as good as the internal 'inner strength'.
It was just that in his previous life, there were too few people who could practice inner strength. Moreover … even if they refined blood essence and obtained a bit of inner strength. But that little bit of inner strength was too little. After all, it was the inner strength of a Grandmaster. Performing the 《Crossing Worlds》 once consumed all of the inner strength. One could imagine the scarcity of inner strength. This little bit of inner strength was not enough to support the 'Strongest Plan' by one percent or even one-thousandth of the inner strength consumed!
However … …
It was different now.
In this ancient world, Teng Qingshan had an abundance of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. He had what the Grandmasters in his previous life considered as a huge amount of inner strength. Moreover, his ability to control his bones and muscles was also extremely high. He could completely feel the changes in his bones and muscles. During the puberty period, he could appropriately adjust the plan so that everything was under his control.
He was 100% sure that this' Strongest Plan 'would succeed.
"More than 80% of the human body's strength and bones are formed during the puberty period! If I can perfectly carry out the 'Strongest Plan', then my body will be stronger than any Grandmaster in my previous life! I will reach the highest peak in the history of Internal Martial Arts! "Teng Qingshan's heart was boiling.
After all, how much inner strength did the Grandmasters in the history of Internal Martial Arts have? It was simply impossible for them to carry out the extravagant 'Strongest Plan'.
Moreover, by the time they cultivated inner strength, they would have already passed the puberty period.
Only Teng Qingshan had inner strength at the age of three. After nearly seven years of preparation, once he carried out the 'Strongest Plan', once the puberty period was over, his body would reach an unprecedentedly terrifying level!
"I am almost ten years old, and I also feel that … … the changes in my bones and muscles seem to be speeding up." With Teng Qingshan's ability to control his bones and muscles, he could feel this kind of change. In fact, when the puberty period reached the peak, even an ordinary person could feel the changes in their body.
In the beginning, ordinary people could not feel it, but Teng Qingshan, a Xing Yi Grandmaster, could feel it.
"After the annual sacrifice, I will carry out the 'Strongest Plan'!"
Teng Qingshan silently said in his heart.
"Qingshan!" One of the clansmen next to him shouted, "Shouldn't we go back?"
Teng Qingshan glanced at the 'Frost Jade Pool' and immediately looked at the clansmen with a smile, "Each water tank weighs four to five hundred Jin. Brother Qinghao and Brother Qinghu, you two carry it first. Halfway through, I will take turns to replace you. Alright, let's go home now. "
"Carrying it back to the clan is a small matter." Teng Qinghu smiled proudly.
At the age of nine, Teng Qinghu could lift three hundred Jin. Now, he was only a month away from turning sixteen, but he already had the strength of a thousand Jin. As for Teng Qinghao, who was already an adult, he was only slightly weaker.
"Don't brag. If you give up halfway, you will lose face."
The clansmen of the Hunter Squad chatted and laughed along the way as they descended the mountain.
