The Fourth Prince
013. Water Breathing Technique

Before his eyes, Xiao Ahnzi saw that Uncle Lan's hair had been covered in snow.

At once Xiao Ahnzi prepared himself by flowing qi all over his body,

When the passageway was completely left behind, Xiao Ahnzi's body immediately felt an extreme temperature change around him.

Uncle Lan turned his head, then smiled, clearly This old man was flattened again..

This smile is a real mockery.

"follow me" and then he steps through the blizzard,

Xiao Ahnzi forced his body to move, his head was clearly being operated optimally finding a way to have this cold slightly reduced.

What appears is just a breathing technique without a match, unfortunately this child has not even finished reading the manual.

Uncle Lan finally felt pity, the small body was then carried in a long leap leap,

Uncle Lan who was carrying Xiao Ahnzi around like a cat, finally stopped at a building,

The building is made of crystallizing walls of ice,

On the wall of the crystal wall was embedded a pointed stone stone resembling a torch.

Upon entering the room,

Uncle Lan lowered Xiao Ahnzi to the floor, then with a flick of a finger, a spark of fire came out of his finger, the fire then floated slowly towards the torch-shaped stone that was stuck on the wall of the crystal wall, the room immediately turned warm.

Xiao Ahnzi who was shivering with coldness from the moment she stepped out of the hall, started to feel a little better, she said,

Although it still felt like this place was so cold, it no longer made him shiver.

"uncle, is this place forever this cold?" Xiao Ahnzi was still enduring the bone-chilling coldness.

"yes, in this place you will practice the Water breathing technique" Uncle Lan explained.

"what water breathing techniques can not be trained elsewhere?" Xiao Ahnzi clearly felt reluctant to be confined in this place.

"it can, but it's not fun in my opinion!" a grin that was long lost, has now returned.

"meaning uncle??" Xiao Ahnzi was really curious this time.

"huh?? You don't understand?" Uncle Lan put on a serious face.

"mrs..." Xiao Ahnzi shook his head softly, but in his heart he hissed "if this old rascal's intent is less torturous, I believe it!"

Seeing Xiao Ahnzi's expression, the evil grin really appeared. "just as you think!! Out there you're not tortured enough! And that's less interesting to me!" then he laughed.

"but take it easy, young man, I promise you one thing. For the next week, you'll be eating good!" then Uncle Lan stepped deeper into a room, "follow me" while giving a hand code.

In a room, Uncle Lan took out supplies from his spatial ring. It was obviously cooking equipment.

In the other corner of the room, Back Uncle Lan took out something,

a lump of meat appeared in the room. It was the flesh of the three-horned wind wolf demonic beast that was numerous..

With great painstakingness Uncle Lan began to cultivate the demonic beast meat into a dish.

A three-finger piece of meat was cooked in a cauldron, adding pounded chili, salt, red and white onions, as well as some leaves of leaves that Xiao Ahnzi had not even seen all this time, lastly, Uncle Lan inserted a white liquid from a ceramic bottle. It's not milk, it's something else.

"Xiao'er, lamu would never meet a dish like this anywhere in the world. Wait for this cooking to ripen." a sincere smile was drawn on his face.

Xiao Ahnzi was only paying attention.

This young man was stunned by the kindness of his teacher.

When the dish was half-cooked, Uncle Lan took out another pot, then made another flame, with the pot Uncle Lan cooking rice." This dish was best eaten with rice"

The half-old-looking man let out a slow sigh, some looking different than usual. When looking up, the bulir welled up in the corner of his eyes..

"Uncle...?" Xiao Ahnzi was clearly confused to see this real old man crying...

"lucknut smoke!! My eyes are watering!!" the man coughed up hiding his feelings.

It took quite a long time until Uncle Lan's cooking finally matured, the white liquid that Uncle Lan added had dissolved, and, leaving something like dark brown mud.among something like mud there was wind wolf meat cut to the size of three fingers.

"Uncle, what's the name of this muddy dish?" Xiao Ahnzi felt uneasy and a little disgusted.he had never met much less eaten food like this.

Uncle Lan laughed at Xiao Ahnzi's reaction, then replied briefly "Ren dang"

"mmn...?" The name sounded very strange to Xiao Ahnzi.

"you'll like her!" Uncle Lan was too lazy to explain it, then started to dine.

The starving Xiao Ahnzi had no choice, following Uncle Lan who had greedily finished his meal, his body breaking into a sweat in this frozen ice room.

Sure enough, this was the best taste of food that Xiao Ahnzi had ever tasted, there was not even this delicious food in the western grand palace. A biting and sweet spicy taste raced in his mouth, making sweat drench this young man's clothes.

"eat a lot, after this you will fight to die in the middle of a snowstorm out there!" uncle Lan said as she wiped her nose which had arrived watery.

Xiao Ahnzi heard, but tried not to think about all that for now.he was already addicted to uncle Lan's cooking which had this strange name.

After the best meal, Xiao Ahnzi's day was like hell, but this hell was the opposite version of the fire-filled picture of hell, on the contrary,, where everything is frozen ice.

The first month Xiao Ahnzi was only asked to fetch water, passing through the storm with a large barrel. The distance that the six-year-old had to travel was ten kilometers splitting the blizzard.

The place where Xiao Ahnzi took the water was unusual, amidst the stretch of snow, a niche had hot water. The thick layer of snow around him was really unable to disturb the water source.

For the first month, Uncle Lan did not allow Xiao Ahnzi to use wind breathing techniques,

After a month, the hot water that was taken from the source, upon entering Uncle Lan's residence, the hot water could still be used to brew tea.

It was a sign to move on to the next stage of training.

Water breathing technique, in the manual of peerless breathing techniques, the author of the scroll explained the spiritual energy processing by applying the essence (nature) of water, to the,

What Xiao Ahnzi learned was not a technique on how to attack using water, not like an avatar legend or something like a book Xiao Ahnzi had read on the first floor of the royal library.

Other breathing techniques are

A technique about the essence, or nature of water itself, "the source of life water"

And where else is it filled with water but not much life? this ice land is the source of life full of deadly nuances.

wound healing, cell regeneration, strengthening of whole tissues, meridians and blood. In a simple sense, this breathing technique prioritizes the benefits for the user rather than to harm the other party.

Although it does not rule out the possibility of this technique being developed to attack.

The royal palace of the Western Ufuk.

Ever since learning that the guards of the third-floor library brought the Fourth Prince out, it was almost daily that Empress Ling Xue visited the library.

Unceasingly hoping, if the Fourth Prince, the youngest one had returned,

Today it had almost been a year since Xiao Ahnzi had followed the third floor guards, somewhere.

Empress Ling Xue was hugging Aunt Mei who had always been her best friend, aunt Mei had always treated Empress Ling Xue well.

On the other hand, King Xiao Tian looked riled up, this year should the Fourth Prince enter the jiannan academy, as the number one family in the Western Ufuk kingdom, there is always one entrance slot to become a student of jiannan academy.

This year the gold token, the direct ticket to enter the academy, should have belonged to Xiao Ahnzi, but until now, it was unknown where the youngest was.

In a matter of three days, if Xiao Ahnzi, the fourth Prince did not return, then the gold tokens of the jiannan academy would have to be handed over to the other family members.

King Xiao Tian was certainly worried that the gold tokens of the academy would be contested at all costs among the other Xiao clans.

In the last year, there was always a riot within the Xiao clan, because no candidate from the kingdom was worthy of using it.

A great dilemma, had the fourth prince taken a position to use the gold token, with his low level of practice, the fourth prince would only be the subject of mockery from all sides.

The party who is dissatisfied, will certainly look for all opportunities to bring down the kingdom.

Inside another world in the valley of fog.

In this span of nearly a year, Xiao Ahnzi had perfected his mastery of the Water breathing technique.

The cold air froze, making the young man's skin become as white as snow, even his hair now began to turn gray, gray,

As if his hair was made of mounds of snow, the thing that made Uncle Lan dizzy was that his level of practice was still at forging qi level four.

The teacher's expectation was that within a year, at least his student was at the sixth forging qi level. Although not a genius, forging sixth level qi was the minimum requirement to enter the jiannan academy.

With his current condition, it was almost certain that Xiao Ahnzi would miss the opportunity.

Within a year of being with Xiao Ahnzi, Uncle Lan's attitude was no longer as crazy as it used to be,

Xiao Ahnzi too, after receiving the kindness of the half-old-looking man, so had great respect for his teacher.

"Xiao'er,, the time to enter jiannan academy has arrived, what do you think?" Uncle Lan opened the conversation that night.

The young man with hair like a snow mound, seemed to sigh, in the middle of choosing words that if not increase the pressure received by his teacher.

"Uncle, I'm actually not interested in entering the jiannan academy,"

"mmn..?"

"the second brother had discussed this matter two years ago, back then the second brother and big brother Xiao Lu had similarly refused to use gold tokens, they had finally managed to enter the academy with their own abilities."Xiao Ahnzi smiled bitterly.. Then proceed.

"while the gold token was instead a source of contention within my Xiao family,"

"what are you going to do?" Uncle Lan chased after, after the youngster had been quiet for quite a while.

Xiao Ahnzi laughed as if he was being hunted by his teacher.

"Uncle, even if I enter the jiannan academy later, I'm only interested in the library!"

"is uncle sure the academy library is better than the royal library?" Xiao Ahnzi's.

Uncle Lan understood the direction of this conversation, he just smiled.

"i agree with you, the ancient scroll is only one piece you learned!!" Then Uncle Lan was excited.

Xiao Ahnzi "Uncle, where exactly is that cultivation practice assessment from?"

"mmn...??"Uncle Lan

"what is the size of the dantian?"Xiao Ahnzi continued

" there is never any certainty about it, but I judge that level from one's ability to process qi itself, I'm never sure what level of cultivation I actually have in what realm!!" Uncle Lan laughed, a self-laughing laugh.
