These days, Hong Yi has been practicing martial arts with Bai Ziyue and studying the methods of Taoist cultivation from books. He also showed a strong thirst for knowledge about the Qi cultivation method that Lin Yi mentioned.
This is a young man who knows how to seize opportunities and works hard.
No one's success is a fluke. People often only see their glamorous side, but subconsciously ignore the hardships and struggles hidden behind it.
These hidden details are known only to the successful individuals themselves.
Shh, shh, shh…
Hong Yi finally finished practicing the three forms of the Bull Demon Mighty Fist. He was panting heavily, his face was pale, and he was out of breath.
This set of boxing techniques involves a lot of physical exertion. He was already rather thin and weak, so practicing martial arts was naturally even more strenuous for him.
Hong Yi did not rest. He immediately sat down cross-legged on a blue stone next to him, calmed his mind, and focused on his own reflection.
He sensed the scalding heat of his blood and qi throughout his body. He used his divine sense to capture the blood and qi, merging yin and yang to transform it into true qi, filling his dantian. When the qi was full, it overflowed, flowing through all the orifices and circulating throughout his body...
This is the essence of the Zhou Tian Qi Refining Method.
Indeed, under Lin Yi's intentional or unintentional guidance, Hong Yi has begun to embark on the mysterious path of Qi cultivation.
Hong Yi slowly opened his eyes. He could no longer maintain his cross-legged posture and with a "thud," he lay straight back on the snow.
"Open your mouth." Bai Ziyue immediately stepped forward, opened the wine gourd, and brought it to Hong Yi's lips.
After taking a few sips, Hong Yi felt warm all over, and the fragrance in his throat reached his nostrils, making him feel much more comfortable.
Bai Ziyue's wine is a magical wine, brewed using an unknown number of medicinal herbs and special techniques. Whenever Hong Yi is panting and pale after exercising, drinking this wine makes him feel very comfortable.
If it weren't for the spiritual wine, his frail body wouldn't have been able to continue training.
"The poor study literature, the rich study martial arts"—this is a very true saying.
Because of the abundant supply of spirit wine, Hong Yi not only made rapid progress in martial arts, but was also about to successfully establish his foundation in the path of Qi cultivation. The true Qi in his dantian was almost full.
Lin Yi also kept a close eye on Hong Yi's cultivation. Tu Lao's successful cultivation was largely due to his Daoist arts realm at the Day Travel level.
Whether the path of Qi cultivation has a future in this world depends on Hong Yi's future performance.
If the future "Yi Zi" becomes a Qi cultivator, what kind of things will happen?
A few days later, with the help of Bai Ziyue, Tu Lao led the Pure Fox Clan away from Xishan Yougu.
This place has been exposed, and they need to find their next home.
Although Bai Ziyue is one of the eight great demon immortals in the world, he is now a proper human being. In this life, he was reincarnated into the Bai family of the Yuan Tu Kingdom in the north, and he has considerable influence in the secular world, enough to protect the Pure Fox Tu Shan clan.
The once bustling valley has become quiet, and the cold wind makes it feel especially desolate.
Hong Yi held a cloth bag, looking somewhat forlorn.
The parting came so suddenly.
A series of footsteps approached, and Lin Yi appeared to the side, saying, "All good things must come to an end, so there's no need to be too sad. The world is vast, but as long as you cultivate diligently, you will eventually achieve mastery, able to fly through the sky and roam freely across the four seas and eight wastelands. Even if you are separated by thousands of miles, it will only be a matter of a thought."
After saying that, Lin Yi left gracefully, leaving Hong Yi with a cloth bag containing several books, including the "Martial Arts Manual" which contained the "Past Amitabha Sutra" and a copy of the "True Secrets of Qi Refining" handwritten by him.

Chapter 173 Scattering Flowers Pavilion
Lin Yi did not intentionally sabotage Hong Yi's opportunity; he simply added another option.
A person who spends all day trying to seize other people's opportunities and covet their treasures will never achieve anything great.
Such people are on the same level as petty thieves and robbers in society; they are not respectable.
Lin Yi wrote two copies of "The True Secrets of Qi Refining," and gave the other copy to Master Tu. The book not only contains the method of "Nine Revolutions of Jade Liquid," but also records the secrets of "Refining Qi into Spirit."
How Hong Yi will choose to go in the future is entirely up to him.
Lin Yi doesn't mind establishing a good relationship before "Yi Zi" grows up, but he won't be foolish enough to invest too much at once.

The heavy snow had just stopped, and the city of Yujing was bustling and prosperous again, with people coming and going everywhere on the streets.
Various large shops were bustling with activity, such as "Juyuanlou" with its wine, banquets and food, "Songzhuxuan" with its writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, "Songjiangpu" with its silks, "Yigulou" with its antiques and secondhand goods, and "Jinyutang" with its jewelry, etc. These were the most lively places in Yujing.
The patrons of these large shops included princes and nobles in fine clothes and riding spirited horses, scholars in blue robes, wealthy people, and a group of leisurely officials and gentry from the capital.
Especially since it was already December, close to the end of the year.
The Emperor of Daqian not only had to offer sacrifices to Heaven, but also receive envoys from various countries. Envoys from the Western Regions' Huoluo Kingdom, the Eastern Yunmeng Kingdom, the Northern Yuantu Kingdom, the Southern Shenfeng Kingdom, and the island kingdoms of Liuzhu all stayed in the villas of Yujing City.
These people in strange and unusual costumes often come out to stroll around and admire the prosperity of Yujing, the largest city in the Great Qian Dynasty, which only adds to the liveliness of Yujing.
Since twenty years ago, when the Great Qian Dynasty decisively defeated the Yunmeng cavalry's surprise attack and retaliated, the two sides made an alliance at Qingsha Pass on the border, promising never to fight again. The Great Qian Dynasty has been at its peak, becoming the largest dynasty empire on the entire land.
At the end of the sixtieth year, the prosperous era of the Great Qian Dynasty had reached its zenith.
Lin Yi transformed his Taixu Dharma Robe into an ordinary blue shirt and walked along the bustling street, gently stroking a small black lock in his hand. With the festival approaching, and being a stranger in another world, he truly missed his family.
Accompanying the longing is a loneliness that penetrates to the bone.
The path to immortality is lonely, travelers come and go in haste, who will accompany me?
With his thoughts surging like a tide, and illusions seemingly appearing before his eyes again, Lin Yi stopped his wandering thoughts and looked up ahead. What came into view was a building covering dozens of acres, with carved railings and jade steps, and five-story pavilions. On the high-hanging plaque, the three characters "San Hua Lou" were written in bold and elegant strokes, exuding an extraordinary aura.
