"Eh not that soldier from the empire, and also...." Ling San discovered that one of the soldiers had the strength of a diamond swordsman as well as a young girl whose strength was equivalent to that of a bronze swordsman.
Without any difficulty, Ling San was able to instantly recognize the middle-aged man who was none other than general Wu and the young girl who was none other than imperial princess Wei Zhu Qing.
"Hamba salutes the princess." Ling San directly bowed his body saluting Zhu Qing.
"Greetings uncle, is brother Ling Yan there?" Ask Zhu Qing.
Xui and Ling Mei who heard Zhu Qing's words called Ling Yan by the name of Ling Yan's brother were shocked, as far as they knew, only Ling Mei, was surprised, Xui and the two brothers called him that.
"Why did the princess call brother Ling Yan with such a call?" Both muttered while looking at each other.
Meanwhile, Ling San who heard Zhu Qing's words looking for Ling Yan was wondering inside his mind.
"Why is princess Zhu Qing looking for my son?" A look of confusion now adorned his face.
"Hmm forgive me princess, but Ling Yan was not at home since 2 days ago, he just left behind a slip of mail and said he wanted to go on an adventure to the outside world, and also he said he would join the thousand-sword sake if his adventure was over." Answer Ling San.
*****
In the cave of Shen Long's tomb, the, Ling Yan who had just finished filling his stomach had now returned to sitting in a cross-legged position while draining his profound energy to connect the small meridian points within his body.
Currently Ling Yan had only managed to connect the 2 small meridian points within the body and was now continuously trying to do the same.
It took Ling Yan several hours to connect the 5 small meridians in his body, but he could not find any other meridian points aligned on his small meridian connecting line.
Ling Yan then opened his eyes while sighing heavily from his mouth.
"Hahh I thought I could find the other small meridian points easily, but the truth is this is harder than I imagined." Ling Yan muttered.
Aside from requiring a high enough concentration to connect the small meridian points on his body, the profound energy Ling Yan had was also drained rapidly as he did just that.
However, Ling Yan also felt his strength increase rapidly after successfully connecting the five small meridian points in his body.
"But even so, after connecting the five small meridian points within my body, I felt my body become lighter and more energetic." Mumbled slowly.
Ling Yan then used the technique of celestial path science to recover the deep power he used when connecting his small meridian points.
And without taking a long time, Ling Yan had already managed to recover all of the inner strength he had and recovered completely.
*****
2 Weeks had passed, Ling Yan was still faithfully inside the cave of Shen Long's tomb and was training there.
In the past 2 weeks Ling Yan had already managed to connect to the 21 meridian points he had found before and also found the other 18 meridian points quickly.
And in the end Ling Yan had managed to open and connect 39 small meridians in his body, only 11 small meridians less so that he could change the shape of the other elements.
Moreover, Ling Yan had also finished consuming the soul purification pill that Ling Han gave him and had managed to purify his soul force by as much as 20 percent.
Thanks to all the results of his training in 2 weeks, Ling Yan's physical strength as well as movement speed had now become faster than before, and also thanks to the stealth flesh of the bull as well as the iron shell turtle that he had consumed lately made the quality of his iron tiger bones already almost rise to the level of the jade tiger bones.
Actually Ling Yan was planning to stay longer inside the cave and wanted to absorb the iron horn bull demon power core in order to improve the quality of his bones, but the small fire-tailed tiger eating the core of the demon power had already run out of food.
In fact Ling Yan still had another core of demon power within his nat ring, however the magical beast was unwilling to eat the core of a level 2 demon power and above as well as one that was not the core of the fire element demon power.
Perhaps it was because the little white tiger was still at level 1, hence he would only eat the core strength of a level 1 fire demon alone.
"Hmm you're only eating the 1st level fire element's demon power core." Ling Yan said as he took out the last level 1 fire element demon power core from within his grout ring.
For the past 2 weeks, the little white tiger continued to eat the core strength of the level 1 fire demon, and at this time it had grown larger even though its body still looked the same as before.
"This is your last meal, after you eat, we'll get out of this dark forest and hunt for low-level demons for you." Said Ling Yan while throwing the core of fire demon power at the little tiger.
Without thinking long the little tiger immediately jumped up and welcomed the core of the power and quickly chewed it like a meat that was so tender.
"Hahh even though in these 2 weeks I've been used to seeing him eat a core of stealth power, but still I feel strange." Said Ling Yan while staring towards the little white tiger.
"Oh yeah, come to think of it, I haven't given you a name yet." Said Ling Yan who was heard by the little tiger.
"Miao..." The little tiger suddenly turned his gaze towards Ling Yan.
"Hmm a minute, I'll try to find a good name." Ling Yan seemed to be racking his brain to find a suitable name for the magical beast.
Before long Ling Yan had finally gotten a suitable name, and the fire-tailed tiger he finally gave a name to.
"Alright from now on I will call you Xiao Hu." Said Ling Yan with a sweet smile.
Meanwhile, the little white tiger who seemed to approve Ling Yan's words nodded before again eating the core of fire power given by Ling Yan.
After a while the power core was now exhausted, Ling Yan who saw it immediately grabbed Xiao Hu and put him in his clothes as usual.
"Well then let's get out of this forest with our new speed and strength." Said Ling Yan who was so excited to try his new strength.
Before exiting the cave, Ling Yan first begged Shen Long's tomb and finally walked out of the cave.
Ling Yan leaped onto the tree that grew on the cliff of the ravine before finally jumping back up.
"Hmm at the first moment I entered this forest I went out through the south, but after that I turned around because I was chased by a demon gorilla titan fire." Mumbled.
"Maybe it'd be better if I...." Ling Yan then turned his gaze in the other direction which was the opposite direction from before.
And without thinking about what was waiting for him in front of there, he immediately darted with the science of lightening his body at high speed.
"Hehe though I don't know what's ahead there yet, but I don't know why I'm so eager to try different things." Said Ling Yan as he continued to dart towards the North.
