After sleeping for some time, Ye Ling Yue felt waves and waves of itchiness from her nose. There was the unique smell of fresh air after raining in the air.
Ye Ling Yue opened her eyes. She found that herself laying on a field covered with white mist. Ye Ling Yue looked down. The Vitality Condensing Grass was gone. A couple steps away from her on the ground, there was a green strand of wild grass, which precisely seemed to be the Vitality Condensing Grass.
Ye Ling Yue clearly remembered that when her mother had given her the Vitality Condensing Grass, the piece of grass was dry and yellow. She only just slept a little bit and then the Vitality Condensing Grass suddenly transformed. Her strand had now become jade green and had grown strong.
Ye Ling Yue walked forward a couple steps and saw that to her side, there was a blackish brown boulder. Three words had been carved onto the surface: “Grand Mist Sky”. The three carved words were sharp and cut deeply into the boulder a couple of inches. It seemed like someone had used the strength of their fingers to carve the words into the boulder.
Ye Ling Yue walked forward more steps, however she realized that the mist was getting thicker and thicker. She couldn’t possibly move forward any more. This place, “Grand Mist Sky”, is at most only one li large. She also didn’t know where this led to.
“Ling Yue, it’s already daytime. You should get up to practice martial arts.” Ye Huang Yu’s voice transmitted into her ear.
When she opened her eyes, Ye Ling Yue realized that she had already left “Grand Mist Sky”. In the moment that she was leaving, a pair of baby blue eyes flashed in the white mist. After she left “Grand Mist Sky,” she ordered her thoughts. She remembered that today her mother was going to teach her martial arts.
After three days, outside of the nothern manor of the Ye family, the light of dawn just shone through the tree branches.
A thin figure was currently running in circles around the northern manor. There was an iron sand bag tied on each of Ye Ling Yue’s legs. She had already run for a shi-chen.
(TL: shi-chen – two hours)
Ye Huang Yu is a very harsh person. Ever since she began teaching Ye Ling Yue martial arts, she created a rigorous training regimen. Every day at dawn and at dusk, Ye Ling Yue would run for a shi-chen, and then she would practice breathing exercises for a shi-chen. At dawn and at dusk, the vital energy in the air was the most ample.
For the weak and thin-bodied Ye Ling Yue, this type of extremely difficult exercise seemed like it was impossible to complete. However, on the first day, she did not give up in the middle and continued until the end.
Sweat beads dripped onto the ground. With every movement, the ground would have the faint marks of water. All of Ye Ling Yue’s muscles and bones were screaming in pain. However, she didn’t give up. With the sweat beads falling like rain, it seemed like her whole person was running in water. When she finished running for two shi-chen, she finally sat cross-legged on the ground and began to do her breathing exercises.
Ye Huang Yu requested her to run a shi-chen and breathe for a shi-chen every day. However, Ye Ling Yue increased the time she practiced. She ran for two shi-chen and breathed for two shi-chen.
Even though her memory wasn’t clear, Ye Ling Yue could faintly tell that after she had accidentally eaten a pill from the odd black cauldron, she had become smarter. The pill still had medicinal effects and could strengthen the effect of Ye Ling Yue’s training. And so, the more harshly she trains, the faster she can absorb the medicine. Today, all the medicine has already been absorbed.
Ye Ling Yue’s mouth, nose, skin and even the all the hair on her body were greedily absorbing the vital energy between the earth and the heavens.
In the far distance, Ye Huang Yu was in the shadows, watching Ye Ling Yue cultivate. Ye Huang Yu had first thought that her daughter was just ephemerally interested in cultivation, however, these days Ye Ling Yue was wildly training. As a mother, Ye Huang Yu naturally noticed all this. That child truly wanted to train. Her daughter’s personality was as tough as she. But as to whether this was a curse or a blessing, she did not know. Ye Huang Yu showed a complicated expression.
At this time, Ye Huang Yu’s pupils moved slightly. She saw that Ye Ling Yue’s skin shone with a copper-like luster. The luster showed the effects of vital energy strengthening the skin. Normal punches or kicks would hardly harm Ye Ling Yue. However, in order to strengthen the skin, only people at the second rank of the constitution domain. The constitution domain is split into 9 ranks. If Ye Ling Yue were to break through the first rank in a short amount of time, Ye Huang Yu would only feel it was fortuitous. However, to be able to break through in only a meager amount of three days…that definitely wasn’t accidental.
After two shi-chen, when she already absorbed the last strand of heavenly energy in her body, Ye Ling Yue finally opened her eyes. She stood up and felt that her body was a spry as a sparrow.
“Why do I feel like the vital energy within my dantian has become more abundant?” Ye Ling Yue asked in astonishment.
“That is because you just broke through to second rank of the constitution domain.” Ye Huang Yu held back a smile as she walked up to Ye Ling Yue.
She had broken through again, although this time, she had broken through while practicing breathing exercises.
“Mother, that day when Ye Qing and I had competed, he had used a type of fist technique. Ling Yue wants to learn that technique.” Ye Ling Yue, after seeing her mother’s excitement, asked.
Ye Ling Yue was a female, and she was moreover a female who loved to hold grudges. She would definitely return the favor for Ye Qing’s grudge.
“You just learned how to walk yet now you want to run. The technique that Ye Qing used is one of our Ye family’s fundamental martial art skills. Its called Bursting Lightning Fists. According to Ye family’s rules, only when you reach the third rank of the constitution domain can you learn it. One you reach it, mother will teach you.” Looking at her daughter’s eagerness, Ye Huang Yu’s expression turned serious as she helped wipe the sweat from her daughter’s face.
I will definitely reach the third rank of the constitution domain!
