The moon was bright and sparse, the sky cloudless.

The hazy moonlight poured down onto the mountains and ravines like a veil over the earth. Ye Qingxuan sat on a prayer mat as strands of the spirit energy of heaven and earth poured into his body, turning into pure spirit energy.

After a long moment, Ye Qingxuan opened his eyes. Compared to the day, his cultivation was even deeper. Ye Qingxuan was extremely astonished. Ever since he started cultivating, his cultivation had been rising unceasingly.

"I wonder when I will be able to cultivate to a Dragon Elephant's Spirit Body?" Ye Qingxuan hoped.

There were four stages to the Dragon and Elephant Heaven Technique, and each stage also had many realms. The Dragon Elephant's Spirit Body was the first layer of Dragon and Elephant's Heavenly Arts. Only by practicing the Spirit Body could one truly step into the first layer.

Right now, Ye Qingxuan was only at the beginning.

Ye Qingxuan took out a jade bottle and poured out a Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead. Without hesitation, he swallowed the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead.

Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead, as its name implied, was the Bone Ablutionary Scripture, and its value far surpassed the Bone Tempering Pill.

As the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead entered his stomach, Ye Qingxuan felt a scorching heat spread throughout his body, flooding into his limbs and bones like a tidal wave.

His body was as comfortable as it ever had been, and layers of black filth were expelled through his pores.

A moment later, the medicinal strength of the Bone Ablutionary Dan had been completely used up, and Ye Qingxuan felt as if the air had turned clean and fresh.

"My spiritual power seemed to have been purified as well?" Ye Qingxuan's mind raced as he suddenly felt that his spirit energy had refined a bit more. Needless to say, it was naturally the effect of the Bone Ablutionary Dan.

"A poor scholar and a rich martial artist, you're right."

Just like Ye Jun, although he was only a year older than Ye Qingxuan, he was already in the Transcending Mortality Stage and possessed vast resources. The Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead that was incomparably valuable to Ye Qingxuan was probably no different from a sugar bean in Ye Jun's eyes.

Ye Qingxuan held back his excitement and took another Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead before consuming it. This time, the amount of dirt that was expelled was very little, but Ye Qingxuan's spirit energy had also improved, almost reaching the peak of the fourth level of the Dragon Elephant Realm.

"Gudong …"

Suddenly, Ye Qingxuan's stomach rumbled and he immediately recovered from his surprise. After taking two Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads in a row, a massive amount of impurities was expelled, causing Ye Qingxuan's stomach to rumble with hunger.

He quickly found the rations and swept through everything.

After taking a bath, Ye Qingxuan returned to his room and sat on his bed. He then took out the parchment that Ye Qinghe had given him and slowly read it.

On the parchment, there were four Martial Arts recorded. They were Movement Martial Arts, Attack Martial Arts and Defense Martial Arts. Obviously, Ye Qinghe had considered this very carefully.

Not long after, Ye Qingxuan memorized all four martial arts.

While he was lying on his bed, his mind was continuously analyzing the profundity of the four martial arts.

In a flash, three days passed.

In the courtyard, a green-clothed youth's figure flashed about, and when he leaped, his entire body was covered in a strong wind with a shocking imposing manner. His steps were extremely profound, as if a dragon was roaming the world. It was extremely difficult to see the pattern.

This movement technique was known as the Soaring Cloud Dragon Steps. It was a Superior Grade Martial Arts. Rumor has it that when one reached the pinnacle, they could tread on the snow without leaving a trace and flash past.

Ye Qingyu was sitting under the eaves, staring blankly at Ye Qingxuan with a smile on his face.

"Thousand Thread Hands!"

Ye Qingxuan let out a long and fierce roar. His spirit energy was stimulated as it flowed out from his four limbs and meridians, as thin as strands of hair. The spirit energy wrapped around his palms, constantly striking at the air.

From afar, one could see the shadows of palms in the air, dazzling the eyes. If one looked closely, they would notice that every single spirit energy thread was as agile as a spirit serpent.

This was one of the offensive martial arts recorded in the parchment paper.

"Raging Waves Fist!"

Ye Qingxuan's aura suddenly changed. From softness to masculinity, he circulated his spiritual power and the sound of unceasing waves crashing against the sea actually rang out within his body.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

He blasted out a fist that was like a flood dragon going out to sea. The spirit energy was like waves as it vibrated heavily. In the end, even the air itself was shattered and the area within a three meter radius became a vacuum.

"Huff, huff …"

This punch caused Ye Qingxuan to be out of breath, and his forehead was covered with beads of perspiration. It was obvious that he was exhausted.

The three martial arts he had displayed were all high-grade martial arts. With his cultivation base at the peak of the fourth level of the Dragon Elephant Realm, it was impossible for him to sustain them for a long period of time.

"Young master, you've been practicing all morning, take a rest." Ye Qingyu placed a pot of cold tea on the stone table.

Ye Qingxuan sat down, lifting the teapot and gulping down the water. After a few breaths of time, he put down the teapot, and with a glint in his eyes, he said, "My cultivation has already reached the critical point. I should break through to the fifth level of the Dragon Elephant Realm. I can't slack off."

"Really?"

Ye Qingyu was surprised. She knew that Ye Qingxuan had only broken through to the fourth level of the Dragon Elephant Stage a few days ago, yet he was about to break through to the next level? Although she hadn't cultivated, she knew that the path of cultivation was a process of grinding, so she couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest.

"Young Master, I once heard Grandfather Qing He say that in cultivation, one must focus on one's foundation. You can't just focus on breaking through your cultivation level, you should overlook the basics." Ye Qingyu said.

Ye Qingxuan nodded. Although he wished that he could instantly become a god and figure out everything, he would never forget the words of the Dragon Kylin. Only by building on his foundation would he be able to advance further on his path of cultivation.

He sat down cross-legged and took out the Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads. In these few days, there were not many bottles left. After going through the baptism of the Bone Ablutionary Dan, Ye Qingxuan's body became increasingly agile and full of energy.

However, as his cultivation increased, his appetite also increased, giving Ye Qingyu a headache.

"I can't go on like this. It seems that after I've cultivated to the sixth level of the Dragon Elephant Realm, I still have to go to the Mang Gu Mountain Range to hunt fierce beasts." Ye Qingxuan thought to himself.

As long as he reached the sixth level of the Dragon Elephant Realm and mastered four high-grade martial arts, he was confident that he would be able to survive in the Mang Gu Mountain Range, where berserk beasts ran rampant.

Weng! *

After the Bone Ablutionary Dan entered his stomach, Ye Qingxuan's body suddenly began to emit a rumbling sound, as if a dragon was roaring. Endless amounts of the surrounding spiritual energy flowed like a river into Ye Qingxuan's body.

"Just how much luck did Young Master obtain?" Ye Qingyu said.

BOOM!

Boundless amounts of the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth flowed into his body. Ye Qingxuan circulated the Dragon Elephant Heavenly Art and quickly converted this spiritual Qi into spiritual energy. It was also at this moment that the spiritual energy in his dantian reached a critical point.

However, Ye Qingxuan didn't immediately attempt to break through the 5th.

He had just consumed the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead, and now was the perfect time to temper his spirit energy. How could he miss this opportunity?

Ye Qingxuan's mind was tranquil. Waves of spirit energy were refined by him a second time, becoming even purer and more condensed.

Night fell.

Ye Qingxuan had finally allowed his spirit energy to sublimate. His spirit energy was like silk, but it contained a vigorous energy.

"Open the fifth dragon meridian!"

He began to circulate his spiritual power. The spiritual power he released was like a majestic river flowing through the four dragon meridians from bottom to top, attacking the fifth dragon vein.

BOOM!

The fifth dragon vein was as hard as metal and even harder than the fourth. As the spirit dragon charged forward, the dragon vein vibrated slightly. Not even a single crack could be seen.

Ye Qingxuan frowned as he questioned, "Is it so difficult for everyone to breakthrough to the dragon fountain?"

In the bronze shrine, starlight poured into his body as he opened three dragon meridians in one go. However, he had only succeeded a dozen times when he had broken through to the fourth dragon vein.

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan's spirit energy had been refined many times. In terms of purity, it far surpassed cultivators of the same realm, but it was still extremely difficult.

"Could it be that the starlight has changed my physique, and turned me into a special one?" Ye Qingxuan's frown deepened.

However, after thinking about it carefully, the majority of the spirit bodies and treasured bodies under the heavens would open up their dragon veins as soon as they were born, and their breakthroughs in cultivation would be at the same level as the clouds.

If the starlight really changed his body, it should make his cultivation easier, so why did it become harder?

"Young master, you've encountered some difficulties?" Ye Qingyu said with a smile.

Ye Qingxuan looked at Ye Qingyu and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Elder Sister, I apologize for my offense."

He placed his hand on Ye Qingyu's shoulder and sent spirit energy into her body to check her nine dragon veins.

Although Ye Qingyu did not cultivate, as long as it was a human, they would have nine dragon meridians. When his spirit energy entered Ye Qingyu's body, he suddenly understood.

"So that's how it is." Ye Qingxuan smiled bitterly.

If Ye Qingxuan had a dragon vein in his body, then Ye Qingyu could only be considered a snake vein. His dragon fountain was too strong, so the difficulty of breaking into the dragon's vein had increased exponentially.

"Hmm... "Sister's dragon fountain seems to contain some kind of power?" Ye Qingxuan suddenly sensed a blazing aura, giving him a scorching feeling.

He was extremely puzzled. After all, Ye Qingyu was just an ordinary person. If she hadn't cultivated, how could her dragon fountain have such a peculiar aura?

"Elder sister wouldn't have a special physique, right?" Ye Qingxuan thought to himself.
