The old man's face showed a flicker of thoughts, and after a long ti, he couldn't make up his mind. He suddenly took out several copper coins from his pocket.
These copper coins were engraved with various symbols. The old man closed his eyes and waved his hand gently. Suddenly, the coins started spinning on the table.
At the sa ti, the old man half-closed his eyes, and his right hand was rapidly pinching. Before long, all the copper coins stopped, and the old man's right hand stopped just in ti.
"Kan represents water?" The old man saw the hexagram and his face imdiately turned ugly.
"As the saying goes: Water accumulates, forming Kan." The old man silently recited in his heart, furrowing his brow.
This is a duplicate hexagram, with lower Kan and upper Kan overlapping. In the hexagram, it ans Kan represents water, danger, and double Kan ans danger upon danger, obstacles upon obstacles.
"Advancing is dangerous, retreating is also dangerous, caught between a rock and a hard place." The old man sighed, "Nine deaths and one life survival rate."
A Nine Yang Body or Nine Yang Tribulation Vein is an extrely rare constitution. Generally speaking, people with this condition are dood!
Throughout history, people with this constitution have without exception all died!
It's like a fire burning within their body; the normal temperature can still be tolerated, but when the Yang Tribulation cos — when the virtual fire burns the body — an average person can't endure it and is bound to die at such a temperature.
The most terrifying part is that this virtual fire will appear nine tis in total. If it can't be endured even once, one will be burned alive!
The old man had previously researched Ren Feng's body, but he also didn't know the root of the Nine Yang Body. Fortunately, his dical skills were astonishing, and he delayed Ren Feng's first tribulation for a full twenty-three years.
Before this, Ren Feng's Nine Yang Tribulation Vein, he originally intended to suppress it using various thods, but unexpectedly, it still relapsed today, which in the hexagram is a retreat.
And yesterday, when Ren Feng had a confrontation with Laine and the others, he unexpectedly endured the first tribulation within the Nine Yang Tribulation Vein, which is advancing; but regardless of the choice, the risk was extrely high, and even faced death.
Of course, there's benefit to the Nine Yang Tribulation as well, such as expanding a person's ridians and nurturing True Qi. Just now, the perspective Ren Feng experienced on the train was also one of the effects.
The old man sighed, "It seems there is only one choice."
Undoubtedly, if choosing to continue delaying, that would lead to a dead end. But if choosing to endure the Nine Yang Tribulation, there might be a faint hope of survival, even though it's slim.
At this mont, Ren Feng was sitting outside, teasing those two parrots.
"Little bastard, little bastard."
The two parrots chirped, making Ren Feng speechless: "Can't you say sothing nice?"
"Little bastard, little bastard."
"Hey, do I have a grudge against you two?" Ren Feng got annoyed.
"Little bastard, little bastard."
Alright, Ren Feng admitted defeat, but then he focused his attention on the big dog.
When he was young, this big dog was still a puppy. Unexpectedly, it had grown so big after all these years.
"Little Talent, long ti no see." Ren Feng squatted down, cheerfully looking at the dog.
The big dog opened its eyes and glanced at Ren Feng's pleased face, its disdainful look reminiscent of a classic saying:
Damn, idiot.
Seeing the big dog close its eyes again, Ren Feng couldn't help feeling a bit awkward. Damn, these animals all act like they're the boss.
"Little bastard, co here."
The old man called out from inside the room.
"Coming."
Ren Feng went indoors.
"Take the basket and go up the mountain to gather so herbs." The old man wrote on a piece of paper and tossed it to Ren Feng.
He had several herb fields on the mountain where special herbs were grown. After all, that's the only way to ensure the source of the elixirs.
"After you co back, go to Wanglong Peak's cave. There's a cold pool inside, soak in it for three hours."
...
At Wanglong Peak, inside the cave.
Ren Feng was soaking naked in the cold pool.
"Damn, have to soak in this darn cold pool again." Ren Feng couldn't help but curse. When he was a kid, he was often forced to soak in this cold pool and wasn't allowed to use True Qi to protect his body.
"Freezing to death." Ren Feng couldn't help but shiver. The temperature of this cold pool was extrely low, at least minus ten degrees, and it got even colder further down.
Just then, a warm sensation suddenly appeared within Ren Feng's body, neutralizing all that icy chill.
"Strange, what's going on?" Ren Feng wondered, and at that mont, the warmth inside him began to increase, until his whole body felt warm and the cold couldn't penetrate.
This cold pool had lost its effectiveness!
anwhile, the old man had started the process of refining dicine. This batch of pills was specifically for the Nine Yang Tribulation.
Although it couldn't eliminate the problem, it could alleviate it a bit.
Ti passed by, and over these few days, under the old man's guidance, Ren Feng not only teased the big dog and the parrots but also maintained his body regularly and even underwent an acupuncture session.
Ren Feng wasn't sure how profound the old man's dical skills were, but regardless, all he knew dically, the old man taught him.
This acupuncture session made Ren Feng feel much more comfortable, and the flow of True Qi within him was smoother.
A few days later, in the morning.
"Ah Feng, keep this bottle of elixirs with you." The old man handed over a bottle of elixirs.
Ren Feng opened it, and a refreshing fragrance wafted out.
"This elixir is called Cold Spirit Elixir. If those symptoms appear again, you can take it for relief."
Ren Feng nodded, accepting and storing it.
Then, the old man handed over a small box, with elixirs inside of a verdant jade color, shiny, and even with patterns on them.
"This elixir can save your life. If you can't hold on, swallow it."
Seeing how seriously the old man treated it, Ren Feng understood its value and nodded.
The old man smiled and nodded, "There's one more thing."
"What?" Ren Feng asked.
The old man hesitated for a mont, "When you were a child, I betrothed you to a daughter of another family. When you have a chance, you should go and have a look."
Ren Feng looked at the old man, dumbfounded: "Old man, do you an I have a fiancée?"
The old man nodded, thinking Ren Feng might express so refusal, was about to co up with more reasons when Ren Feng suddenly laughed, "Really didn't expect, I actually have a fiancée. Hey, old man, is she pretty? Long legs? Big chest? I'm telling you, if she's smaller than a 36D, I'm not interested."
The old man's face turned black with several lines, his beard twitching from anger: "I'll beat you to death, you little bastard!"
"Just kidding." Ren Feng said with a chuckle, "Sure, I'll find ti to visit, but I must say, if she's ugly or her personality doesn't match, I'm not accepting."
"I didn't make an absolute arrangent back then." The old man stroked his beard.
"Alright, I'm leaving now, old man. I'll co back to visit you." Ren Feng said with a smile.
"Go on then."
Watching Ren Feng leave, the old man sighed: It seems to be ti to go out and get active. Otherwise, this kid's upcoming tribulations will be hard to get through.
Then, the old man sat back in the rocking chair under the tree, "Ah Huang and Ah Lv, sing a little tune."
Ah Huang and Ah Lv, were those two parrots.
"Old bastard, old bastard." However, those two parrots opened their beaks in unison.
The old man stood up in shock and stared at those two parrots.
"Old bastard, old bastard."
The parrots were still chirping enthusiastically.
Undoubtedly, this was the result of Ren Feng's training over the past few days, and then the old man's face turned from red to green to black.
"Ah! You little bastard, co back, I'll teach you a good lesson!"
A furious roar pierced throughout the entire village, those villagers stared in astonishnt at the angry old man.
Ren Feng, who was heading down the mountain, heard the roar and imdiately sprang to action, dashed down without looking back.
No way, if I'm caught running too slow, it could be trouble.
