When Song Yuanqiao heard this, he clapped and praised, "Good boy, how long is your brain and how did you come up with such a good idea?"

"However, there are only half of these Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotuses. I don't know how much power they can increase, and refining them isn't something that can be done in just three to five days. I'm afraid we won't be able to survive for long with just a small amount of food in the cave." Song Yuanqiao said.

"Who cares. Master always said 'let nature take its course'. When the boat arrives at the bridge, it will naturally straighten up. We'll talk about it when the time comes."

When Song Yuanqiao heard this, he thought to himself, "That's true. Right now, there is no other way. We can only take one step at a time."

The two of them carefully took out the Tianshan Snow Lotus from the jade box and placed one petal each into their mouths. Then, they placed the Tianshan Snow Lotus into the box and sat down on the stone bed to meditate.

When Yu Lianzhou's petal entered her stomach, she soon felt a wave of hot air rising from her stomach. The feeling of hunger and warmth disappeared, and Yu Lianzhou thought to herself, "I never thought that the Tianshan Snow Lotus has such an effect. It looks like I won't have to worry about food in the future."

After an hour, he felt the medicinal strength of the snow lotus petal disappear. Only then did he stop his cultivation and sense the true qi in his dantian, realizing that his cultivation had improved by quite a lot, comparable to the amount he had cultivated for a month.

Yu Lianzhou looked towards Song Yuanqiao and discovered that Song Yuanqiao had also finished his cultivation and had opened his eyes.

Haha, second brother, this Tianshan Snow Lotus is indeed extraordinary. Just a single petal is enough for me to cultivate for more than a month, and it can even fill my stomach. Song Yuanqiao said with a face full of joy.

Big Senior, Master said that the spiritual medicines are good, but they are not as good as the pure inner Qi that we painstakingly cultivated. We still have to polish them carefully, or it will be detrimental to our future practice of martial arts.

Song Yuanqiao nodded. Thus, the two of them closed their eyes again, focused on training and polished off their Zhen Qi.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye. Everything that had happened on the Heavenly Mountain eventually passed from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. The experts of the Ming Sect were completely wiped out, and the Karakorum sect leader, White Deer, and a few other elders returned with serious injuries.

When the news spread, it caused a huge uproar even in the Central Plains martial arts forest. The disciples that were sent to Sky Mountain by the various sects also suffered a great number of casualties.

At this time, there was also a light snowfall on Mount Wudang, giving the beautiful scenery a layer of silver. "In a place of martial arts training at the back of the mountain, there was an old man and two young men standing there. Two young boys dressed in thick clothes, their steps steady and their upper bodies upright, were practicing the stance created by Zhang Sanfeng. This stance was in tacit agreement with Song Bai's upright stance, and was the foundation of all martial arts training.

The old man lifted his head and stared at the falling snowflakes, his gaze directed in the direction of the mountain. The emotions in his eyes revealed the longing for his family.

….

On top of the bright peak of the Ming sect headquarters in the Western Regions, the atmosphere was heavy, as if there was going to be a big battle that could erupt at any time.

"Elder Xiang, the bones of our master have yet to turn cold. Why are you so impatient to sit at the position of Sect Leader?" A eight foot tall handsome young man said to the old man in front of him.

"Humph, the peak of the sun cannot be without a master for a single day. I only want to sit in this position for the sake of the sect." The old man said.

"Elder, you clearly took advantage of the chaos to seize power. Brother Yang was previously conferred the title of Vice Sect Leader of the Ming Sect by the Hierarch. Now that the Hierarch has passed away, this position should belong to Brother Yang." a big fellow behind Yang Ding Tian said.

"Yin Tianzheng, you're just a small hall master. How could you interrupt the conversation between this Elder and Vice Sect Leader Yang?"

He said to the old man, "Elder Xiang, I respect you as an old man of the Ming sect. You have lived for many years for the Ming sect, but for you to gather today to stir up trouble and fight for the position of sect head, isn't that a bit too much?"

There is a way that a country cannot be without a leader. The news of the leader of the sect falling from the sky has been spread out, and all the brothers of the sect are panicking. The people of the Western Regions are also suppressing our sect.

"Oh, in that case, you'd better do it for the good." Yang Ding Tian ridiculed.

The old man seemed to not have heard the sarcasm in Yang Tian Tian's words, and said, "Of course, I have been in Ming Dong Sect for dozens of years, and am always thinking of Ming Dong, and have done great deeds for Ming Dong.

"To old man, do not take advantage of your seniority. The reason why you've come here today is so that you can become the head of the Ming Sect." Yin Tian, who was standing at the side, could no longer stand the sight of the old man and shouted out to him.

"This old man received the support of the brothers behind me when I became the sect master. Since I cannot refuse, I can only reluctantly let the brothers decide what to do."

"That's right. Elder Xiang is now a highly respected and respected man of the Ming Dynasty. He has lived and died for the Ming Dynasty for many years, and his achievements have been great. He has already been accepted as the head of the sect. Brothers, what do you say?" An old man behind the elder said.

"That's right. I am the first one to support you."

"Right, right. We support becoming Sect Leader to the Elders."

When the people in front of Elder Xiang heard the shouts of the crowd behind him, it went without saying that they were overjoyed.

Yin Tian was about to speak again, but was stopped by Yang Tian. Yang Tian looked to the back of the elders and saw that most of them were old men from Ming sect, and there were a lot of them. On the other hand, their own side had a smaller number of people, and most of them were young brothers.

Yang Ding Tian knew in his heart that since he was young, his foundation in the sect was not as deep as that Elder Xiang's. However, he knew that Elder Xiang was a man of limited talent and ambition, and if he took up the position of Sect Leader, then the Ming Sect would be destroyed soon. His master would know what was going on, and it would be impossible for him to hand the Ming Sect over to the elder.

"Yi Wu, if you want to be the High Priestess, ask the person behind me if he agrees." Yang Ding Tian shouted angrily at the elder.

"Yes, as your Sect Leader, I, Yin, was the first to refuse."

"We support Big Brother Yang as the Sect Leader."

The crowd behind Yang Ding Tian shouted.

"Good, the sun stands at the apex of the sky. Today, this old man shall sit on this position." After saying that to Yi Wu, he raised the cane in his hand and rushed towards Yang Ding Tian to kill him.

Upon seeing this, the crowd behind Yi Wu immediately rushed towards Yang Tian. Yang Tian didn't show any weakness, so he threw his palms towards Yi Wu.

In a short period of time, the sounds of fighting and shouting came from the top of the mountain as the battle between the two groups turned upside down.

Yang Ding Tian and Xiang Yi Wu had been fighting for a long time, and both of them were wounded, although their Yang Ding Tian Qi was not as strong as Yi Wu's, but since they were young and full of energy, they already had the upper hand.

At first, he had suppressed the Yang Peak to the point where he wanted to die under his staff. However, the Yang Peak was under the effect of the Universal Teleportation, and the Yang Peak was forcefully held on from the crazy bombardment towards Yi Wu. In the end, the Yang Peak was suppressed by the Yang Peak due to its old age and lack of energy.
