Chapter 63

The higher you go, the colder it gets.

Lin Yiming and his two companions walked for more than a day in the Yuanyang Mountains. Under Lin Yiming's lead, they ascended a high mountain. As the altitude increased, the temperature around them gradually dropped.

"I guess the altitude here must be around six or seven thousand meters. This is just an ordinary peak in the Yuanyang Mountains. There are several mountains that are even higher."

Lin Yiming glanced down at the base of the mountain and then continued climbing. In less than half an incense stick's time, the three of them had reached the summit.

At the barren peak, a golden-red light, like a sword, was embedded in the ground, shining brightly.

"A Cangchi Spirit, and it's even larger than the one I obtained before!"

Lin Yiming immediately saw the Cangchi Spirit on the ground. Although he saw it, he did not rush over. The reason this Cangchi Spirit remained here, undisturbed, was because the place was secluded and there were no other beasts around.

However, if they approached rashly, the Cangchi Spirit would certainly flee. Given its flying speed, it would be impossible for him to catch up.

The last time he managed to capture a Cangchi Spirit was due to sheer luck, as it had fallen right at his feet.

This time, to capture the Cangchi Spirit, he would need to use the one inside his body.

A golden-red light appeared in Lin Yiming's hand as he carefully released the Cangchi Spirit.

As the golden-red light flickered, waves of scorching heat spread out. In no time, the heat reached the vicinity of the Cangchi Spirit on the ground.

Feeling the familiar heat, the Cangchi Spirit embedded in the ground began to vibrate and suddenly flew up, heading straight for Lin Yiming's hand.

"Fell for it."

Lin Yiming's face lit up with joy, and he reached out to grab the Cangchi Spirit. As soon as he grabbed it, he felt a surge of scorching heat. Inside his body, another wave of heat rushed to meet it.

The two waves of heat collided with a loud boom.

"Hmm? These two Cangchi Spirits seem to be attacking each other." Lin Yiming quickly understood and felt relieved. He had been worried that the two Cangchi Spirits would join forces and attack him, but now that they were fighting each other, it would be much easier to subdue them.

Lin Yiming controlled his spiritual energy to help the Cangchi Spirit inside his body suppress the other one. Under the combined attack, the larger Cangchi Spirit soon retreated, and the first one surged forward.

Gradually, the two Cangchi Spirits intertwined and merged into a new, larger spirit, more than twice the size of the original.

After the two spirits merged, they immediately sank into Lin Yiming's dantian. At the same time, Lin Yiming began to circulate his cultivation technique.

About half an hour later, Lin Yiming stood up from the ground, and a surging aura erupted from his body, causing the rocks beneath his feet to fly up and scatter with a series of cracking sounds.

"Seventh level of Martial Spirit Heart! Just by obtaining two spirits, I first advanced from the third level to the fifth, and then directly from the fifth to the seventh! This speed is terrifying! It took me fifteen years to advance from the third level to the seventh. And you, you only took two days, most of which was spent walking! No wonder everyone in the world is crazy about pursuing spirits; they are truly incredible!"

Sun Pingyang sighed deeply. He found that since meeting Lin Yiming, he had been sighing more and more. People really can't be compared!

However, although he envied Lin Yiming, he was not jealous. He would not be dissatisfied because Lin Yiming obtained a spirit. He knew that if he tried to subdue a Cangchi Spirit, he would end up in a terrible state; he could not subdue it.

Lin Yiming was very clear that the reason his realm advanced so quickly was inseparable from his cultivation technique, the Ancient Spirit Canon, which was specifically designed for his cultivation.

Moreover, after absorbing the spirit, even without using the spirit's energy, his spiritual energy became stronger after circulating the Ancient Spirit Canon.

More importantly, he was now at the seventh level of Martial Spirit Heart, and his Martial Spirit Heart could reach a terrifying 96 rotations in a single breath. He wondered how powerful his punch would be now.

With a thought, Lin Yiming's spiritual energy reached its peak. He then shouted and threw a punch.

The punch hit the mountain wall, and a crack as wide as a thumb immediately appeared. Around the crack, fine cracks like the patterns on a turtle's shell spread out, and the entire wall crumbled with a loud boom.

"Such incredible power. Even without using the spirit's energy, I would absolutely not be your match." Sun Pingyang looked at the mountain wall in awe. Even if he used his full strength, he could not achieve such an effect.

"Yiming, with your current strength, if you use your spirit's energy, you... your spirit's energy has more than doubled. The spirit you absorbed is larger than the previous one. After using your full strength, not even a Blood Soul Transformation warrior would be your match, let alone an Iron Bone Transformation warrior. You might only lose to a Body Tyrant realm expert."

"By the way, Yiming, I don't know what boxing technique you are cultivating."

Lin Yiming suddenly smiled. "Boxing technique? I cultivate the Great Peng Boxing Technique."

"Great Peng Boxing Technique? What? You said you cultivate the Great Peng Boxing Technique!" Sun Pingyang was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something and said reproachfully, "Don't joke around. Of course, I know you have cultivated the Great Peng Boxing Technique. How many people in our Great Peng Dynasty haven't cultivated it? I'm asking what boxing technique you are currently cultivating."

"It's the Great Peng Boxing Technique!" Lin Yiming answered very seriously.

"You are currently practicing the Great Peng Boxing Technique?" Sun Pingyang was stunned again but quickly recovered. It seemed there was nothing unusual about this. Many powerful warriors occasionally practiced the Great Peng Boxing Technique, as it was the most basic technique, and occasional practice was still beneficial. Lin Yiming was probably just practicing it occasionally. This kid, he really should understand that he was asking about his true strength.

Sun Pingyang shook his head in exasperation, thought for a moment, and then changed his question. "I'm asking, what is your most powerful boxing technique?"

"It's the Great Peng Boxing Technique!" Lin Yiming felt helpless. How could Sun Pingyang's intelligence suddenly drop so low?

"I've told you, the Great Peng Boxing Technique, how many times do I have to say it? I cultivate the Great Peng Boxing Technique, and I'm currently practicing the Great Peng Boxing Technique. It's also my most powerful technique. The only boxing technique I know is the Great Peng Boxing Technique." Lin Yiming said all this in one breath, almost feeling like he was reciting a tongue twister.

"You only know the Great Peng Boxing Technique... one kind?" Sun Pingyang was also a bit confused by Lin Yiming's rapid-fire words. After a pause, he reacted. "You're saying you only know the Great Peng Boxing Technique? Don't joke around. You are a warrior, a Martial Spirit Heart warrior. How can you only know the most basic boxing technique, the Great Peng Boxing Technique? I can't believe it. I absolutely can't believe that a warrior who has cultivated to your level only knows the Great Peng Boxing Technique, a technique that even farmers can perform!"

"Really, I only know the Great Peng Boxing Technique. I haven't learned any other boxing techniques. Why would I lie to you?" Lin Yiming said this, but suddenly remembered the special move Guo Guo had taught him.

"You only know the Great Peng Boxing Technique? That's hard to believe." Sun Pingyang still couldn't believe it and asked Lin Yiming for a long time. Only after Lin Yiming repeatedly assured him that he wasn't lying did he believe that Lin Yiming really only knew one boxing technique.

"Yiming, you are now a peak seventh-level Martial Spirit Heart warrior. You should also cultivate other boxing techniques. You can't keep using the Great Peng Boxing Technique; it will affect your strength. If you had a more powerful boxing technique, you could face an Iron Bone Transformation warrior at the Martial Spirit Heart level. I've never seen someone like you before! Of course, if you encounter a Body Tyrant realm expert, you would only have to run."

As he spoke, a loud sound of breaking air came from the sky.

Lin Yiming looked up and soon saw a giant vulture-like beast in the sky, with a vaguely discernible figure sitting on it. The beast and its rider moved extremely fast, disappearing from sight in an instant.

"Riding a beast, this is a Law Realm expert!" Lin Yiming turned to look at Sun Pingyang, suddenly realizing that Sun Pingyang seemed to have the power of a jinx.

It seemed to happen every time. The last time, Sun Pingyang said that the Broken Tooth Golden Elephant was powerful, and right after he said that, a White Leopard Tiger appeared and killed the elephant.

Now, as soon as he mentioned a Law Realm expert, one appeared in the sky. As long as there was a beast, almost anyone could make it fly, but at such a high altitude and such a fast speed, only a Law Realm expert could control the beast to fly that fast. Otherwise, even a beast could not fly that fast. A Law Realm expert could use their strength to make the beast fly even faster.

The Yuanyang Mountains were inherently dangerous but also full of opportunities. It wasn't strange to encounter a Law Realm expert here, but the fear was that the expert was after the Cangchi Spirit.

Soon, a second Law Realm expert appeared in the sky, followed by a third, a fourth, and a fifth, all riding cranes.
