There are people with ill intentions hidden in the Immortal Tomb, this is a desecration of the tomb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was obviously unaware of Li Yuan’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Yuan had no intention of explaining, nor did he want to say anything like \"I suspect the tomb is fake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burial of the \"Immortal Tomb\" was sacred to every clan in the Nine Flames Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention he had no evidence yet, even if he did, he wouldn’t speak lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Li Yuan gently said, \"Xue’Er, listen to your man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhenyan Xue was easily swayed by such gentleness, her face flushed, and she briskly replied, \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she yawned lazily, got up, and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This silly big girl was both beautiful and wild, yet simple-minded, strong, and enduring, a completely different style from Li Yuan’s previous four wives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slipped into the tent, washed herself clean, changed into new animal skins, and waved at Li Yuan, wiggling her hips and calling, \"Come to bed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Yuan ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhenyan Xue could only go to sleep by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan continued warming by the fire while watching the entrance of the Zhenyan Clan’s camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched for a long time but never saw the person he was waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Perhaps it’s not aimed at me, but at those who approached the maze.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made this judgment, then turned around quietly watching the swirling fire in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It seems this journey has hit a bottleneck, with some unexpected twists and turns...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’However, it’s not yet a dead end.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, who knows how many days had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan went nowhere, just sat calmly by the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind calmed from the previous assassination attempt, and during this calm, he grasped a key point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If everything in this world is a combination of Yin and Yang Qi, then... the fire in front of me must also belong to Yang Qi.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What if I treat it as a type of Yang Qi and combine it with the Breathing Skill and body compression?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Compressing the Shadow Blood in Demon Beast meat can change the quality of the blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I shall treat the heat emitted by this fire as a compressible air.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan acted on his thought and decided to try it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a long breath, yet the fire remained unmoving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the heat emitted by the fire penetrated into his body with his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan inhaled deeply for two or three minutes, then quickly held his breath, curling into a peculiar posture: knees bent halfway, torso folded down, compressing his abdomen, while sealing all pores to prevent any heat from leaking...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After holding this posture for a while, he switched to another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How he compressed Shadow Blood in the past was how he compressed the heat now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If the essence of Shadow Blood is Yang Qi, then... what works for Shadow Blood should also work for the heat emitted by this fire.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I can succeed just once in countless attempts, just once, it will be enough.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’To find the law and origin of power, and then use it to guide myself, to create power, rather than being blinded by form, this is... the thing I should do.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan’s eyes flickered, his long hair wildly spread around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his strange posture attracted the attention of many clansmen from the Zhenyan Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some watched from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some tried to imitate, but ended up taking a nasty fall because Li Yuan’s posture was too tricky and inhumane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others blinked in confusion, their faces full of bewilderment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But more people looked on with suspicion, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan didn’t care about these gazes, he just quietly continued doing his own thing, trying and sensing repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if there were no results, he never felt discouraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan returned to the tent to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhenyan Xue couldn’t help but ask, \"Husband, what are you doing by the fire?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan replied, \"Just exercising.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhenyan Xue whispered, \"There are rumors outside, saying you’re desecrating the fire...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled slightly, hugged his wife, and said, \"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waking up, he went back to the fire, prostrated before it, and solemnly said, \"In the name of fire, I, Zhenyan Yuan, offer my sincerest salute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he began performing those strange postures again, shouting as he did, \"Oh fire, great Holy Fire, I will pay you homage with the most challenging postures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows how many sleeps later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Yuan returned to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhenyan Xue said beside him, \"The clansmen find you quite mysterious, but they think your posture and salutes aren’t found in ancient books and might be a form of desecrating the Holy Fire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, he sought out the Clan Leader, Zhenyan Xiong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clan Leader coincidentally wanted to see him too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Wolf Mother is back, she’s near the White Deer Clan around our tribe, do you want to see her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not for now.\" Li Yuan didn’t want to go anywhere until he had results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clan Leader frowned, \"Didn’t we agree on that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan said, \"There’s no rush, I have more important things to do right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clan Leader said speechlessly, \"Is that just doing weird postures by the fire?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan candidly replied, \"I’m trying to cultivate using the fire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clan Leader was taken aback, then grinned, looking at Li Yuan with a mocking smile...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he patted Li Yuan’s shoulder, his smile still broad.\u003C\u002Fp>",1017,"2026-06-06T05:24:25.079Z",1,"novelbin.me","be19b327fdc22d86f6dfc22fe86773c30a172d3bc6566299e97bd961412e9fd6","eternal-life-starts-as-a-hunter-chapter-488","eternal-life-starts-as-a-hunter-chapter-486",563,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starts-as-a-hunter-cover.jpg"]
