Chapter 91: Sneaking into Profound Water Peak! Accidentally Entering the Beauty Pool!

Su Yan's voice was very light, as light as a dream-talk, yet it carried an indescribable sense of trance and shock.

From the Ding family to the Sun family, those who had grudges with the Su family, one by one, they all...

If not for the fact that she knew her own family's affairs.

She would have thought this "Head-Chopping Demon" was truly hired by her own family.

After Su Chen was silent for a long time, he looked at Su Yan with gentle eyes and spoke softly: "Ever since you started taking over the family business, there has indeed been a stroke of luck; every time, you have been able to turn danger into safety."

Approaching noon.

Jiang Ye's figure finally appeared on the small path of the herb garden on Tianyangfeng.

He held a huge medicine box in his hands; the box was made of rosewood, and it felt heavy in his hands, clearly of substantial weight.

He lowered his eyes and took a look, and a trace of satisfaction slowly appeared on his aged face.

Inside this medicine box were neatly arranged two hundred stalks of Snow Yang Grass and Green Water Luo, enough for him to cultivate for quite a while.

If it weren't for the fact that these two types of herbs were not suitable for long-term storage, he would have really wanted to buy more.

The Chen family was indeed decent; these two hundred stalks of herbs were all sold to him at a unit price of nine hundred taels, which was more than ten percent cheaper than the prices of over a thousand taels at the pharmacies outside.

What surprised him even more was that before leaving, Chen Yanzhou had also stuffed several bottles of valuable elixirs into his hands, saying it was "a little token of appreciation."

Unable to decline, Jiang Ye accepted them with a smile.

It could only be said that the signboard of a Profound Heaven Sect Elder was indeed useful in the prefecture city.

"Next, I can start cultivating again."

He shook his head slightly, temporarily suppressing those distracting thoughts, and walked unhurriedly to the open space in the center of the Heavenly Sunflower herb garden while holding the medicine box. He placed the medicine box aside, sat cross-legged, and looked up at the scorching sun overhead.

At this moment, the sun was just right, and the sunlight poured down without any obstruction; it was the perfect time to nourish fire Qi.

He slowly closed his eyes, operated the "Great Sun Heavenly Flame Qi-Nourishing Method," and his breathing gradually synchronized with a certain rhythm of heaven and earth.

The sunlight fell on him, as if pulled by an invisible force, turning into wisps of warm Qi that seeped into his body, nourishing the red-gold pill in his dantian.

After nightfall, the moonlight was like water.

Jiang Ye slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a wisp of scorching clear Qi.

The daytime cultivation had come to an end; next, it was time for another lesson.

He stood up as usual, took out the casserole, and began to boil the secret medicine.

Snow Yang Grass, Green Water Luo, and the Heavenly Sunflower grass freshly picked from the herb garden were put into the pot according to the ratio, and water was added to boil slowly.

Before long, a rich medicinal fragrance permeated the night.

He applied the boiled secret medicine all over his body, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate the Qi and blood in his body according to the method of the "Jin Gang Body-Refining Art."

Time passed bit by bit.

The night wind grew cooler, the moonlight sank, and the chirping of insects in the herb garden gradually thinned.

Jiang Ye's figure was as motionless as a rock, with only the faint red light on his skin proving that he was undergoing some kind of transformation.

Soon, it was the second half of the night.

Clang—!!!

A crisp ringing sound suddenly came from Jiang Ye's body.

The sound was like metal and stone clashing, exceptionally clear in the silent night sky.

On his skin, a flash of bronze-like luster suddenly appeared; although it was only for an instant, it carried an indestructible texture.

"Bronze Clothing is complete!!!"

Jiang Ye opened his eyes abruptly, and those aged eyes were now filled with irrepressible joy.

He felt the surging Qi and blood in his body like a tide, felt the unprecedented solidity beneath his skin, and the corners of his mouth slowly lifted, the arc growing larger and larger.

Mastered Martial Arts: Jin Gang Body-Refining Art (Minor Success, 6/5000)

He casually picked up the curved blade that was shining with cold light and used a bit of strength to draw the sharp edge across his arm.

The blade edge passed, leaving only a shallow white mark, which then slowly faded away, as if it had never existed.

Jiang Ye nodded with satisfaction.

After the "Jin Gang Body-Refining Art" reached minor success, his physical body could be considered to have undergone a qualitative change.

It was no exaggeration to say that even if he stood there without moving, a commoner who had never practiced martial arts holding a sharp weapon would not be able to break his defense.

After the surging Qi and blood in his body gradually calmed down, Jiang Ye slowly took out a secret manual from his bosom, on the cover of which were written seven ancient characters—"Canglan True Water Qi-Nourishing Method."

"I can start cultivating this water-element True Qi!"

He looked toward the distant Profound Water Peak; that mountain peak was like a dormant giant beast in the night, quiet and mysterious.

It was already the second half of the night, and even the most diligent disciples should be asleep.

It was the perfect time for him to sneak into Profound Water Peak to cultivate.

Profound Water Peak.

An old man dressed in simple gray clothes, with graying hair and a back as straight as a spear, stepped up the mountain path unhurriedly.

What was strange was that even though it was a silent late night, the old man did not make a single sound of footsteps when stepping on the mountain path.

It was none other than Jiang Ye, who had sneaked into Profound Water Peak.

In his aged eyes, two clusters of red-gold flames were rising.

Under the scanning of these fiery eyes, the Profound Water Peak shrouded in night was almost no different from daylight.

Every blade of grass, every tree, every stone, and every path were clearly visible.

Walking to the middle of the mountain, he could already see several cold pools.

Those cold pools varied in size and were scattered across the mountains, each steaming with faint water mist, glowing with a dim luster under the moonlight.

"These cold pools don't seem to have enough water Qi..."

Jiang Ye shook his head slightly.

His fiery eyes could even clearly see the concentration of water Qi in the cold pools.

Some were as thin as mist, some were slightly thicker, but none of them caught his eye.

Since he wanted to cultivate, he definitely had to find a cold pool with the most abundant water Qi to get twice the result with half the effort.

He walked up a bit further and found that searching for cold pools one by one like this was too slow.

Although Profound Water Peak was not as steep as Tianyangfeng, it was not small either; if he kept searching like this, he might not find a satisfactory one even by dawn.

The next instant.

A thought flashed through his mind, "Why don't I fly into the sky to look... no one should notice me so late..."

Jiang Ye tapped his feet lightly, and his whole body soared into the air like a nimble bird; the night wind happened to blow, and he stepped into the air, borrowing the force of the wind to float lightly above the mountain peak.

"This height is fine."

Jiang Ye lowered his eyes and looked down.

Most of the scenery of Profound Water Peak was in full view.

Under the moonlight, those cold pools were like scattered pearls, flickering with dim light.

His fiery eyes scanned quickly, identifying the concentration of water Qi one by one.

Soon, his gaze fixed on the far east side of the mountain peak.

There was an extremely hidden cold pool, hidden among several old trees and craggy rocks; it would be extremely difficult to discover if not viewed from a high altitude.

The water Qi shrouded above that cold pool was shockingly rich, even glowing with a faint wisp of blue.

"This is it!!!"

Jiang Ye did not hesitate anymore, stepping on the night wind, and glided lightly toward that cold pool.

Just as he approached the cold pool, he felt a wave of icy water chill rushing toward his face, drilling straight into his nose.

That chill was refreshing, forming a sharp contrast with the dryness of the Great Sun Heavenly Flame True Qi in his body, making one feel indescribably comfortable.

Vaguely, he could also smell a refreshing faint fragrance; the fragrance was elusive, a bit like osmanthus fragrance, and it also seemed...

It was the maiden fragrance from a young girl.

A strange look flashed in Jiang Ye's aged eyes.

This was truly strange.

There could be fragrance in the water?!

He did not dare to be careless and immediately opened his fiery eyes, scanning the inside and outside of the cold pool thoroughly.

The pool water was clear to the bottom, and there was no one in sight.

He looked around carefully again, confirming that there was no one within a radius of several dozen zhang, and only then did he feel relieved.

"It seems I was overthinking."

Afterwards, he stepped slowly into the cold pool.

For ordinary people, the ice water would be bone-chilling, but for Jiang Ye, who possessed the Great Sun Heavenly Flame True Qi, the water was not cold; it was cool and very comfortable.

He immersed his whole body into the cold pool, exposing only his head, and began to nourish water Qi according to the breathing method recorded in the "Canglan True Water Qi-Nourishing Method."

The difficulty of this Qi-nourishing method was much simpler compared to the "Great Sun Heavenly Flame Qi-Nourishing Method."

In just a moment, Jiang Ye felt a wisp of cool water Qi being inhaled into his body, flowing slowly along the meridians, and finally surging into the dantian, coexisting peacefully with that red-gold pill.

"At this speed, I might be able to get the 'Canglan True Water Qi-Nourishing Method' started in one night..."

Jiang Ye nodded secretly, feeling quite satisfied in his heart.

He was about to settle his mind and continue to nourish water Qi.

Just at this moment.

"Hahahaha! I'm exhausted! Finally, I can take a good bath!"

"My poor sister, don't forget, it's your turn to scrub my back this time! Hahahaha!"

Two crisp and pleasant voices like silver bells came from the night.

"What? Someone is coming at this hour? And they want to take a bath?"

Jiang Ye was stunned, and a look of shock flashed in his aged eyes.

What kind of decent person would come out to take a bath at this hour!

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and clearer.

The light footsteps were clearly not the sound of ordinary disciples walking, but... humming a little tune, jumping and skipping.

He didn't have time to run away, so he could only exert the Deer-Form True Intent to the extreme in the water, his aura dissolving as if melting.

Soon, two graceful figures passed through layers of water mist and arrived at the edge of the cold pool. ===== CHAPTER 92 =====
