The Legend of Li Yuan
Climbing the Peak of Thunder Mountain

In the afternoon Li Yuan and Li Peiyu returned to their residence, while her mother and father were still tidying up the shop. At his house, Li Yuan headed towards the reading room which was in the middle.

His great reading hobby made his knowledge quite extensive, in the Yellow Bamboo Village he was accustomed to memorizing general knowledge from the records of books given by his mother.

Currently while waiting for his parents to come home, he plans to read his grandfather's books. There is a history of Huanxie City as well as some notes on the social life of Huanxie City, in addition to reading also biographies and short trips of some Li family figures.

Li Yuan was proud of some of the achievements inscribed by the Li Family that started from the Ancestor of the Li family as a Great General in the Sky Palace. “Heaven Palace, I swear I will set foot there like my ancestor” Li Yuan said excitedly. But without realizing it, this speech has led to a very unusual natural phenomenon.

“Duarrr”

Along with Li Yuan's words, a flash of lightning boomed followed by a thunderous sound. The glint of light in the sky before dusk is clearly dazzling, the rain does not fall but the difference in the speed of light and the speed of sound gives rise to a potential difference between the sky and the earth.

This event was met with mixed responses from the public, but for the martial arts circles this was a sign that strong cultivators would appear throughout the realms. The Sky Palace itself trembled violently, the thunderous sound was precisely the loudest heard in the entire Palace, even the guard of the Palace Gate to the point of blowing a warning trumpet.

“Coming from Huanxie” City said Patriarch Bao Xiong slowly, he then ordered the Elders of the Laohu Sect to search and recruit good talent in Huanxie City. This incident was also true in some other large Sects, they were unwilling to lose the chance of having a special disciple.

Father and Mother Li Yuan who was about to arrive home immediately increased the speed of his steps, they were worried that it would rain and would be too late to get home. Upon arrival, at home they saw Li Yuan who was in the reading room, while Li Peiyu was in the room. “Daddy, Your mother has returned home” said Li Yuan who immediately got up and approached his parents.

The three of them then sat in the dining room, Li Peiyu immediately came after hearing her mother's voice. “Mother, I want to help mom at the Shop from tomorrow, at home just bored me” Peiyu said spoiledly.

“Why don't you just study and read like your brother” Li Dan said. “Huh, it's more boring” Peiyu said as she clucked with a frown. “Yes already, tomorrow you help mom in Toko” said her mom with a smile.

The four of them had dinner, had casual conversations and talked about the future plans to develop the Shop.

At this time, Li Yuan suddenly expressed his wish, “Dad, may I go to Thunder Mountain tomorrow morning?” Ask Li Yuan. “Just one day in the City, you're not at home” said his mother cut off her son's conversation.

“Hmm.. Not so ma'am, I plan to train with Li Tong to hone martial skills”

After thinking for a moment, then Li Dan said, “Alright, you be careful and do not be too long there” Then he asked his wife to prepare the provision of Li Yuan's trip.

His father did not resist Li Yuan's wishes, as a teenager who was about to grow up giving Li Yuan a chance was a good thing for his development.

In the evening, Li Yuan rested well to prepare himself for going to Thunder Mountain.

The next morning, he immediately rushed to the Yellow Bamboo Village to pick up Li Tong, coincidentally this morning Li Tong was indeed preparing to hunt to Thunder Mountain.

“Hai! Li Yuan, just a day ago you already missed me. Hahaha .” Li Tong's laughter smilingly teased Li Yuan's arrival.

“Hah.. Basic you. I want to go to the Peak of Thunder Mountain, I am very curious” Li Yuan said slowly.

“Hah!”

Li Tong's mouth was wide open. “Sstt.. Don't be noisy” Li Yuan continued while attaching his index finger to his mouth. “But, it's very dangerous” Li Tong said with a wry smile.

Li Yuan then told him the reason why he wanted to go to the top of Thunder Mountain, in addition to practicing, he was also curious about beast tamers. “Alright if so”

Li Tong did not ask much, he was very familiar with the character of friends who were still in one family as well.

Once everything is ready, they immediately head to the Thunder Mountain hiking trail which has been closed to the community. However Li Tong and Li Yuan were the two already famous Yellow Bamboo Village youths, so their steps were nothing in the way.

Some residents who were found on the way also greeted the two of them. After walking far enough, both of them had already crossed the safe boundary of the population zone. Both of them steadily climbed the climbing path to the top.

The physical strength of both of them that had been tested, was not too difficult for them to arrive at the top of the mountain quickly.

They were curious as to who lived in it, as a local resident in the Thunder mountains, they had never heard of anyone living on the top of the Mountain.

Just as he was about to approach the grounds of the mansion, a light coughing sound emerged from beside them as if he had witnessed the arrival of Li Yuan and Li Tong.

“Uhuk.. Uhuk.!”

An involuntary coughing sound came out from the mouth of an old grandfather, although he was old yet his posture still seemed to be burly rejecting his old look. Beside him, there was an old woman who seemed to be his wife.

Li Yuan and Li Tong looked at each other nervously, Li Yuan scratching his non-itchy head, feeling unfamiliar with the conjugal figure that was in front of him.

Although he was born and raised in the Yellow Bamboo Village, entering the peak of Thunder Mountain was his first time.

Li Yuan and Li Tong stared at each other, then Li Tong said, “Pardon Madam and Master, we are locals of Yellow Bamboo Village, my name is Li tong and this is Li Yuan, we are from the Li Clan branch family. As for we can be here because we have lost”. Reveal Li Tong politely, while Li Yuan nodded slowly.

“Hmm.”

The old man with a still dashing appearance looked at Li Yuan with interest. He certainly knew with the Li Clan who lived in the Yellow Bamboo Village, they were part of a hunting and farming community.

“Alright, I understand you guys. But after you come down from the top of the Mountain please do not talk about our existence, here we just rest enjoy the peace of life” said the old man while looking gently at the face of his wife.

“I am Bao Zi and this is my wife Wu Niao” The old man continued casually.

Li Yuan and Li Tong could feel at a glance, that the married couple in front of him was no ordinary person.

A moment later, the sound of heavy footsteps sounded.

"Gum!"

A 2.5 Meters tall White Tiger about 3 Meters long came over to Bao Zi. His presence made Li Yuan and Li Tong tremble in fear.

“Include this is Bai Hu, the guardian of Thunder” Mountain Bao Zi introduces Bai Hu, a spiritual animal that has been known as the peak dweller of Thunder Mountain.

Just like the two old men, Li Yuan was able to sense that they all possessed immense strength.

Li Yuan and Li Tong were well received by the couple, until they were allowed to call Grandpa and Grandma. On the occasion, they exchanged stories about the state of the growing Yellow Bamboo Village.

But the existence of mining activity at one foot of Thunder Mountain caused some types of low-level Beasts to migrate. This was quite interesting to Li Yuan, he initially thought that the incident was due to the invasion of other high-level Beast beasts.

Bao Zi examined Li Yuan's hand, he could sense Li Yuan's unprocessed pure energy perfectly.

Although Li Yuan was already cultivating, yet a 16-year-old youth still at the First level Qi Refining realm was trash.

After detecting Li Yuan's body, then Bao Zi said, “Honey, you have a good physical body but not accompanied by the appropriate breathing technique.

Your talent will be in vain if not treated properly” Bao Zi said seriously. “Am I having problems? Please give me a hint” Pinta Li Yuan expectantly.

Li Tong who was next to him also looked expectantly at Grandpa Bao Zi, he deeply understood the condition of his best friend who was still at the First Level of Qi Refining, much different from him, he was very much in the process, though he admitted that Li Yuan's talent was far above it.

Then Bao Zi taught a cultivation technique, the art of breathing absorbs natural energy and turns it into internal force.

The knowledge that Grandfather Bao Zi had just imparted was very different from the cultivation science that Li Yuan had learned. With his high memory ability, he did not want to waste an opportunity.
