Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Pursuit Boots

"By the way, what cultivation method are you practicing?" Nan Batian immediately asked.

"The Great Yang Divine Technique," Zhong Shan replied.

Although he had already guessed it before, Nan Batian still found it somewhat unbelievable. The Great Yang Divine Technique was so formidable? In the end, he could only conclude that Zhong Shan was indeed a fierce one.

"I owe a lot to Tian Ling'er," Zhong Shan said. After all, it was thanks to Tian Ling'er's information that he was able to choose this cultivation method.

"No need to be polite. Considering this wooden carving, let's not mention the past unpleasantness. From now on, if anyone from Kaiyang Sect bothers you, just drop my name," Tian Ling'er said proudly, now that she was familiar with Zhong Shan.

Zhong Shan smiled slightly at Tian Ling'er's words, not bothering to refute. However, he didn't fully agree with it in his heart. A grown man relying on a woman's name to shield himself from trouble? That was too low.

"By the way, my father said your physique is very poor. How come your cultivation isn't slow?" Tian Ling'er asked. Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

Zhong Shan looked at Tian Ling'er, feeling a bit frustrated.

"Yeah, you seem to cultivate quite fast. Although you're not among the top, you're not at the bottom either," Nan Batian chimed in.

Zhong Shan then pointed to his large kiln and explained his cultivation method to them.

Upon hearing Zhong Shan's innovative approach of combining pottery-making with cultivation, Tian Ling'er's eyes lit up with excitement. She looked as if she wanted to try it out right away.

"However, I'm currently striving to break through to the second stage, which is very difficult, and this kiln seems to be inadequate," Zhong Shan said.

"The Great Yang Divine Technique is originally provided by Flame Mountain Peak as a congenital technique. It needs to be practiced in extremely hot places to progress faster. Although this kiln is good, the temperature is inevitably insufficient. But don't worry, in the future, you can practice near Flame Mountain Peak," Nan Batian said.

"Flame Mountain Peak?" Zhong Shan looked towards the distance, where the sky was filled with red clouds.

"Yes, I practice in a cave there. Flame Mountain Peak is actually a massive volcano with powerful geothermal energy inside. Practicing the Great Yang Divine Technique there will yield twice the result with half the effort," Nan Batian explained.

"A volcano? What about Snow Bamboo Peak?" Zhong Shan pointed to another distant peak, where snow was slowly descending in some places.

"You can think of that as an ice mountain. In Kaiyang Sect, Flame Mountain Peak and Snow Bamboo Peak, one is extremely hot, and the other is extremely cold, making them a great spectacle of our sect," Nan Batian chuckled.

"But it's not feasible. My place is close to Kaiyang Peak, and Flame Mountain Peak is quite far from here. There may be many monsters along the way, and it's not safe to go there often," Zhong Shan frowned.

"Oh, wait a moment, I'll be right back," Tian Ling'er immediately said.

With that, Tian Ling'er stepped on her red silk ribbon and flew towards Kaiyang Peak.

Soon, Tian Ling'er returned. But this time, she had an extra pair of white boots in her hands.

"Got it," Zhong Shan nodded.

"Alright, I won't say much more. This time, not only the second-generation senior brother is coming back, but also many others. It will definitely be very lively. I won't keep you company anymore. You focus on your cultivation," Nan Batian said.

"Okay," Zhong Shan nodded.

After Nan Batian left, Zhong Shan immediately sat cross-legged to meditate. After all, he needed to recover after using the Demonic Body Tempering Technique.

The next day, Zhong Shan had fully recovered, and his body had become much stronger.

Looking at the Pursuit Boots in his hands, Zhong Shan gently put them on his feet. The Pursuit Boots seemed to automatically adjust to the size of his feet. Indeed, it was a good magic treasure. When he infused his true qi, he lifted his foot slightly and instantly dashed more than ten meters. Surprised by this step, Zhong Shan found that his speed had increased by more than five times compared to before.

With this, Zhong Shan was no longer afraid of those monsters.

Zhong Shan also knew one thing: swordsmanship not only needed practice but also continuous combat experience. So, if he encountered monsters that he could fight against, he would do his best to fight. If the fight became too difficult, he would immediately use the Pursuit Boots to escape.

However, swordsmanship belonged to external cultivation. Internal cultivation of the Great Yang Divine Art must continue immediately.

With a large knife on his back, Zhong Shan aimed at the distant Flame Mountain and used the Pursuit Boots to run out.

At this moment, Zhongshan's speed was exceptionally fast. With just a gentle push against the surrounding vegetation, his body slid a considerable distance away.

As dusk approached, Zhongshan arrived at a forest. Here, he noticed the peculiar environment of the Kaiyang Sect. While the environment around his own courtyard was pleasant, here it was scorching hot, resembling the peak of summer. Moreover, the further inward he went, the hotter it became.

Indeed, getting closer to this area was the ideal place for cultivation.

After having a bite of dry rations, Zhongshan prepared to continue his journey. Just then, not far behind him, another mountain cat appeared.

Looking at the mountain cat before him, Zhongshan chuckled inwardly. Since it was here, why not give it another try?

With his large blade at the ready, Zhongshan faced the pouncing mountain cat.

Boom...

Half an hour later, Zhongshan was covered in blood. After employing the Demon Tempering Body technique, the mountain cat finally fell at his feet.

Glancing at the distance and then back at the path he came from, Zhongshan pondered for a moment. He then made a decision to extract the mountain cat's inner core and continue on towards the Flame Mountain. Although the aftereffects of the Demon Tempering Body technique would manifest in half an hour, Zhongshan's strong willpower endured, especially now with the Pursuit Boots. As long as he didn't intentionally seek trouble with the demonic beasts, they wouldn't be able to catch up to him.

At daybreak, Zhongshan passed through a secluded valley, exceptionally quiet and somewhat concealed. Within this valley, there happened to be a pond.

Seeing the bloodstains on his body, Zhongshan shook his head and ran to the edge of the pond. Only then did he realize that it wasn't just any pond but a hot spring—an volcanic hot spring.

Delighted, Zhongshan quickly removed his clothes and jumped into the hot spring, washing himself clean.
