There was still nearly a month's journey from Taitianmen back to Yang Village. When they came, the sect would take care of the travel expenses and transportation, but these eliminated people had to find a way back by themselves. The young people of Yang Village were not rich, so they could only walk back for more than a month.
Everyone had taken this into consideration. Before coming out, everyone had brought some money with them. In the small shop at the foot of the mountain, they bought a lot of dry steamed buns and wrapped them in a bag. This was the food for the journey. The farmers didn't think much of it for walking a long way. Anyway, it didn't affect their farm work. If they ran into it, they would have an immortal fate, and from then on, they would leap over the dragon gate. If they didn't run into it, they would go back and continue living.
Yang Chen had already recovered his usual amiable nature. With the goal confirmed, Yang Chen was no longer that impatient. In the eyes of everyone, Yang Chen, who had always been indecisive, seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. He was amiable and had a smile on his face, but he could easily make his companions follow his arrangements unconsciously. Everyone didn't feel the slightest difference, and only felt that what Yang Chen said was very reasonable.
After randomly finding an excuse, Yang Chen left the team and set off alone. The other companions didn't think much of it. Almost all of them guessed that he wanted to go back to see if there was another chance, but no one said anything and let him leave.
Naturally, Yang Chen didn't return to Taitianmen to look for an opportunity like everyone imagined, but he directly turned around and entered the mountain. With a hatchet in hand, with Yang Chen's tens of thousands of years of experience, he could easily find food and drink. The reason why he avoided everyone was that Yang Chen wanted to start tempering his body.
This kind of tempering was completely different from immortal cultivation. It wasn't drawing Qi into the body to practice the Training of Qi Formula, but using martial arts external skills to practice the external boxing method to make the body stronger. As for the internal cultivation method, he didn't practice any of it.
In the eyes of immortal cultivation disciples, practicing martial arts was completely the worst of the worst. As long as he cultivated Qi and built his foundation, he would naturally have an endless amount of spiritual power to recuperate his body. Compared to external martial arts training, the effect was definitely a hundred times better. Moreover, cultivating martial arts was purely a waste of cultivation time. If one had the time, it would be better to consider refining a furnace of pills or digging up a few spirit stones.
Yang Chen was not stupid. With ten thousand years of cultivation experience, he knew better than anyone else how huge the difference would be if a strong body and a weak body cultivated at the same time. Perhaps in the short span of a few hundred years, there wouldn't be much of a difference, but when one really ascended, one would understand the horror of this difference.
The foundation of cultivation was the most important, and the foundation, apart from the most basic cultivation spiritual root, was reflected in a stronger body. With a good foundation, it meant that he would be able to develop further.
Training his body effectively was the first step. Even on the path of cultivation, one did not only pay attention to the cultivation of various cultivation methods, but also ignored the body. It was true that once one's cultivation reached a certain level, spiritual energy would be able to strengthen one's body. However, the effects of strengthening a weak scholar's body and strengthening a strong body were not the same.
Similarly, even in a battle between cultivators, there was still a considerable difference between a person who practiced martial arts and a person who practiced sitting all day and had no time to care about anything else. This was the reason why Yang Chen used external martial arts to temper his muscles and bones before he started cultivating.
There was another reason why he only cultivated external martial arts and not internal martial arts, and that was because Old Demon Yi's demonic technique to improve spiritual root could only be cultivated before he started cultivating. There was no way to overcome the limitations of the cultivation method.
Other than martial arts, there were a series of methods that could increase the flexibility and speed of the body, such as running, jumping, and so on. On the way back to the village, Yang Chen either ran or jumped, and all the food he hunted in the mountains with a hatchet.
After more than ten days, Yang Chen's memory became clearer, and everything from his youth came back to his mind. While training and running, Yang Chen soon came to an ordinary mountain.
This mountain was not far from a small county, but very few people entered the mountain. The mountain was barren, and there was almost no spiritual energy. There was a small mountain god temple, which had long been dilapidated, and half of the walls had collapsed.
Yang Chen stood in front of the mountain god temple, and after confirming that it was the mountain god temple in his memory, he smiled, pushed open the temple door, and walked in.
There were some murals on the wall, but they were already mottled by the wind and rain. After entering the temple, Yang Chen didn't care that the statue on the deity's throne had long been destroyed, and only a pile of mud was left. He first bowed to the original deity's throne. Although the mountain god temple was small, and although it was dilapidated, there were still people in the Heavenly Court.
After bowing, Yang Chen turned to the back of the deity's throne. He walked between the deity's throne and an old locust tree behind it, and measured for a while. After calculating the location in between, he began to dig. After digging for about six feet, he finally found a hard object.
Yang Chen was overjoyed, and he dug the soil bit by bit along the edge of the object, revealing a square metal box. The box had been buried in the soil for many years, but there was no rust on it. It was just dark and inconspicuous.
When he lifted the box, it was heavy, at least a hundred pounds. If it weren't for Yang Chen's recent exercise and his body being strong since he was a child, he really couldn't lift it.
This box was left by Old Master Yang, who was Yang Lan's grandfather, when he was young, for his descendants. Once there was a disaster, it would be used as the capital for a comeback. However, now this capital has belonged to Yang Chen.
Next, Yang Chen will take these capital, go back with his parents, and stay away from Yang Village. When Yang Lan framed Yang Chen, he even took Yang Chen's parents as hostages. Yang Chen had to pinch his nose and admit those things. In this life, Yang Chen didn't intend to give Yang Lan any chance.
At this time, Old Master Yang probably hadn't told Yang Lan about these things, so it just happened to be convenient for Yang Chen. First, he filled the excavated soil, and then Yang Chen directly transplanted a small tree from not far away. Then he carried the box, walked to the woods on the side of the mountain, and found a place to bury it again. Looking around and seeing that there were no flaws, Yang Chen followed the road and rushed back to his hometown.
All the way, Yang Chen's speed was not slower than those who walked together. When they returned to Yang Village, Yang Chen also happened to rush back.
A month of effective exercise made Yang Chen look a little stronger than when he left. Although he was only sixteen years old, his body was not worse than an adult.
The news that Yang Lan and Yang Lan, the granddaughters of Old Master Yang, were selected by the Taitianmen caused an uproar in Yang Village. Almost the entire county was shocked, and even the county magistrate came to congratulate them. For a time, Yang Village was bustling, and it seemed that a grand festival was being held.
In the lively scene of Old Master Yang's family celebrating, Yang Chen's family, who was eliminated, left in dismay. It seemed so inconspicuous.
