The Legend of Li Yuan
The Hua Mountain Ruler

The injured Li Yuan, his heart deeply felt the pain. In this condition he only relied on his life spirit to rise. He could not rely on anyone in a foreign place like this. The blood in his body continued to flow, making his consciousness quickly become decreased.

"Grrooorr"

The Golden Tiger's voice sounded even more ferocious.

While Li Yuan's body was already helpless, he tried to get up and stand up to fight back. But his footstool was already too weak powerless, he had just expended a lot of soul energy which greatly drained his Qi energy. Subconsciously Li Yuan collapsed onto the ground unconscious.

At the same time, a shadowy figure appeared beside Li Yuan. A man who was old, wearing a worn white robe. His face looked earthy, but had a still stout posture for a man his age.

"Hm.. This kid has incredible mental strength. But it was a pity, his bodywork ability was still very weak" the old man muttered as he looked at Li Yuan's body which was now lying on the ground.

Move over!!

"Right now he is no match for you" the man told the Golden Tiger.

Feeling the aura of the Late-stage Sacred Swordsman made the Tiger run to save itself in any direction.

Next, Li Yuan's fainted body was lifted up and carried by the old man, then disappeared in one breath. At the top of Hua mountain, in a large canyon he landed his feet.

There was a secret cave covered in a protective array, then he laid Li Yuan's body on a special bed made of Jade. Although the air around the canyon is very cold, the Jade releases heat energy that can warm the body. The jade was the longing of the cultivators in the Sky Realm.

Currently Li Yuan was still in a fainting state, it was fortunate that he had already passed his critical period and the wounds within his body slowly improved.

For two days he had fainted, the smell of grilled meat that had burst into the cave disturbed his consciousness.

"Aaaghh, where is this? said slowly.

The pupils of his eyes moved left and right to notice the contours of the neatly arranged natural stone. He was dazed for a moment, his weak body was not yet filled with food making him immediately focus towards the lips of the Cave.

Troubled he walked step by step, sometimes the pain in his chest still feels pain as he walks. Right now his gaze fell on an old man, if he looked closely he was older than his teacher Elder Bao Zi. His worn clothes, made him look a little different to cultivators in general.

"You up, son? Come here!" said the old man without looking at Li Yuan.

Without hesitation Li Yuan walked over towards the old man, hunger putting aside his vigilance.

"Thank you Grandfather for his help" Li Yuan said sincerely.

"You need not hesitate, sit down here" said the old man.

"This is eating, it's good to restore your strength" continued the Old Man.

"Thank you grandfather" Li Yuan said without hesitation.

Right now he did require energy to restore his vitality.

After a few bites, Li Yuan's energy began to return. His face was starting to reddish like he had just woken up from his stupor. The old man noticed the development of Li Yuan's body only nodded happily.

"By the way, what is your name and how can you be in Mount Hua?" asked the old man to start the conversation.

"My name is Li Yuan, originally from the Laohu Sect. My goal here is to carry out the Sect's mission as well as seek combat experience" Li Yuan said truthfully.

"Li Yuan, means you are a descendant of the Li Clan?" ask the man.

"Hm.. Interestingly enough, after all these years I have only found a talented young man from the Li Clan" the old man said while nodding his head.

"Introducing my name is Yuan Zang, people used to call me the ruler of Mount Hua" the old man said.

"Greet grandfather Zang" Li Yuan said politely.

"You rest for a while, after your strength has recovered you can only leave this place" Yuan Zang said casually.

"Good grandfather, thank you for your attention" Li Yuan said.

"After this, you should soak in the Spiritual Pool, it will be very beneficial for the strength of your bones and body" Yuan Zang said as he pointed towards the corner of the Cave.

Li Yuan did hear the splashing sound of water in one corner of the Cave, but he did not understand what a spiritual pool meant.

"Grandfather, what is the spiritual pool?" li Yuan asked curiously.

"Spiritual Pool is a fusion of a million-year-old spring with geothermal heat that is enveloped by the cold as snow on the top of this Hua mountain" said Yuan Zhang.

"Alright grandfather, I will try it" said Li Yuan who was already impatient to clean up.

After fighting with the Beast a few days ago, the dried sweat and blood on his body gave off an unpleasant smell.

Follow me! yuan Zang said as he stood up.

Li Yuan followed behind him, slowly. The stamina inside him was already filled a lot, but the pain in his bone joints due to the external injuries he still felt.

There was a unique thing that Li Yuan noticed, he sensed that grandfather Yuan Zhang was breathing very stably. Hua's coldness was so felt, as if it was blocked by a thin layer of energy from within her body.

"Grandfather's internal energy is incredible" Li Yuan's inner self as he stared in admiration.

"Open all your clothes, soak and enjoy the natural sensation of pure Qi for you to absorb. I hope you can make good use of this opportunity. Cultivate calmly, for your needs I will prepare" Yuan Zang said seriously.

"Alright grandfather, I will make good use of this opportunity" Li Yuan replied sincerely.

"It's good that way" Yuan Zang said with a smile.

Li Yuan immediately took off his clothes one by one, he headed for a square stone that he could use to cultivate. The stone was submerged in half a body of water enough to hide part of his body.

The water was quite warm at first but felt increasingly hot as Li Yuan began to splash his entire body. In an instant, without him having to use his cultivation technique he could feel the power flowing into his body. A prolonged tingling sensation flowed up to his bone marrow.

"Aagghh"

"Aagghh"

Li Yuan groaned, the pain in his bones as if colliding with a tingling feeling that continued to spread. Instantly his body trembled like a tickling taste, a sense of pain that turned into a prolonged tingly feeling. Li Yuan's body nearly limp drooped to hold back his bone repair process. Pure energy continued to bombard his body.

"Very amazing" Li Yuan said spontaneously.

After almost two hours of soaking, his body began to refresh even he felt his physical strength had returned to how it was. He also noticed the scars on his body began to regenerate the skin, the natural mineral content of the bowels of the earth is indeed a very extraordinary treasure.
