The Heavens begin by inheriting their grandfather's cheat ability

Chapter 3 This child is undoubtedly a prodigy.

"Don't listen to your master's nonsense. Back then, your master mastered the basic swordsmanship in just seven days!"

A crisp sound rang out in front of the two of them.

Upon hearing the sound, Shi Zhongyu looked in the direction indicated and saw a woman in a green robe standing beside the icy stone pillar in front of him.

She was around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, tall and slender, unlike the delicate women of Jiangnan, but rather possessed a sharp and heroic spirit like the cold peaks of snow-capped mountains.

Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, her nose was straight and elegant, and her appearance could be described as beautiful and charming, but she had no trace of softness or coquetry, only a cold and upright air about her.

Shi Zhongyu thought to himself, "What a beautiful woman."

At that moment, he heard Feng Wanli's voice.

"This is your Martial Uncle Hua Wanzi!"

Shi Zhongyu composed himself and respectfully bowed.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle Hua Wanzi!"

Hua Wanzi carefully examined Shi Zhongyu from head to toe, then took a dagger from her waist and threw it at him.

"This dagger is for you."

Shi Zhong hurriedly took it, then turned to look at Feng Wanli.

Feng Wanli smiled.

"Since your martial uncle gave you this Black Xuan Dagger, you should take it!"

"Don't underestimate this dagger; it's incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through iron like mud!"

"Aren't you going to thank your martial uncle?"

Shi Zhongyu quickly thanked him before putting the dagger away.

Feng Wanli nodded slightly.

Let's go!

"Junior sister, let's go together!"

Hua Wanzi happily agreed.

The two men were in front, with Shi Zhongyu behind.

The three of them descended dozens of steps from the east side of the training ground, following the stone steps carved into the mountainside.

Passing through a stone archway carved with plum blossom patterns, you will see a relatively sheltered concave platform.

There are some buildings on that platform.

"This is the dining hall of our Snow Mountain Sect. We serve meals at Chenshi (7-9 AM), Weishi (1-3 PM), and Youshi (5-7 PM) every day. We will not wait for those who are late."

"The Snow Mountain Sect has simple rules: no talking while eating or sleeping, no wasting food, and no making noise."

Shi Zhongyu agreed verbally, and then followed his master and uncle into the dining hall.

It is said that one should not speak while eating or sleeping.

After the three of them had finished their meal, Hua Wanzi spoke up.

"Senior brother, it's a pity you didn't come out with me this time, otherwise you would have seen the excitement outside."

Curiosity was evident in Feng Wanli's eyes.

A mere showpiece is not a riddle teller.

"Many people in the martial arts world fought each other to seize Xie Yanke's Xuan Tie Token."

"All the sects, big and small, have participated to some extent."

"Every day, many fellow martial arts practitioners die..."

Shi Zhongyu ate his meal in small bites, but his ears perked up.

He was naturally very familiar with Xie Yanke and the Xuan Tie token that Hua Wanzi mentioned.

His younger brother, "Dog Brother," first appeared because of the Xuan Tie Token, or rather, a pancake.

Swords, blades, and battles... this is the world of martial arts.

Shi Zhongyu quickly finished his breakfast.

Hua Wanzi's gaze fell on the senior brother's robe draped over Shi Zhongyu's body.

"Our Snow Mountain Sect is located in a special place, with snow and wind all year round. If you want to resist the cold, you should learn the mental cultivation method as soon as possible."

Before Shi Zhongyu could answer, she turned to look at her senior brother Feng Wanli.

"Why did you teach me the sword techniques first, but not the inner cultivation method?"

Feng Wanli's heart skipped a beat. How could he directly tell his junior sister that he wanted to make things difficult for Shi Zhongyu?

Once Shi Zhongyu has absorbed the Qi, the mental techniques can be taught to him.

As it turned out, this kid was extraordinary; he memorized all the moves after seeing them only once.

He put down his chopsticks.

"Shi Zhongyu is different from ordinary children. He is the son of Shi Qingminrou from Xuansuzhuang. He should have been practicing internal energy cultivation since childhood."

"Learning swordsmanship first, then studying mental cultivation techniques, is perfectly acceptable!"

As Feng Wanli spoke, he stood up and looked at Shi Zhongyu.

"After you've eaten, follow me!"

The three returned to the training ground.

Unlike before, there weren't many disciples in the training ground at this time.

Feng Wanli noticed Shi Zhongyu's confusion and said calmly, "We disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect practice in the morning, rest after breakfast to study internal energy cultivation, and focus on lightness skills in the afternoon."

"After dinner, come to the side hall of Lingxiao Palace to listen to the elders explain the principles of swordsmanship, the rules of the sect, or anecdotes of the martial world."

"These are things you need to remember."

Shi Zhongyu quickly agreed.

Just from what Feng Wanli said, a schedule for his daily martial arts practice immediately came to mind.

As Feng Wanli spoke, he arrived at the foot of an icy stone pillar in the martial arts arena. The place was chillingly cold, even colder than the other places.

"You may sit here under the stone pillar!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhongyu sat cross-legged, filled with anticipation for the mental cultivation method his master was about to impart.

Feng Wanli nodded and continued speaking, his voice clear and cold.

"My Lingxiao City cultivation method does not rely on heat to strengthen the foundation, but instead uses extreme cold to refine the dantian and temper the meridians. It draws in the pure energy of the snow-capped mountains and the heavens, absorbing the cold to preserve strength. Only through accumulation over time can pure internal energy be generated."

"From now on, all your cultivation of the Frost True Qi and mastery of the Snow Mountain Sword Technique will be based on this."

After Feng Wanli finished speaking, his voice was slightly deep.

"Watch closely! What follows is the introductory breathing technique of our Snow Mountain Sect!"

"Concentrate your mind, place the tip of your tongue against the upper palate, inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. When inhaling, gather the breath of heaven and earth, wind and snow, and direct it directly to your dantian."

"When you exhale, you cleanse your body of all impurities, leaving no trace of heat. With each breath, you create a complete cycle of energy."

"Remember, do not let impatience disrupt your mental state!"

Feng Wanli didn't just talk about it; he demonstrated it while he spoke.

Shi Zhongyu could sense that there was a subtle flow of energy around his master, and wisps of cold air were being inhaled and exhaled by his master.

While Shi Zhongyu was learning the Snow Mountain Sect's inner cultivation method, several figures stood not far away.

Among them, the flower in full bloom stands.

There were several other people standing around her.

One of them was tall and had a cold, stone-like face.

This person was none other than Bai Wanjian, the son of the Snow Mountain Sect's leader. His gaze swept over Shi Zhongyu.

"Is that the legendary unruly and incompetent Shi Zhongyu?"

Before he could finish speaking, Geng Wanzhong immediately said, "Senior Brother Bai, don't listen to these rumors. This kid is a genius..."

Geng Wanzhong recounted what Shi Zhongyu had learned in just one reading that morning.

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Wanjian's eyes.

"This lad possesses such extraordinary talent, yet Shi Qing and Min Rou didn't personally instruct him, but instead sent him to our Snow Mountain Sect!"

As Bai Wanjian spoke, his gaze returned to Shi Zhongyu.

"I observe that his internal strength is mediocre; I wonder if he only learns swordsmanship quickly..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Shi Zhongyu exhale wisps of cold air.

Bai Wanjian fell silent instantly.

Not only him, but also Hua Wanzi, Geng Wanzhong and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Geng Wanzhong murmured, "How...how is this possible!"

"My Snow Mountain Sect's cultivation method is extremely cold and harsh; the very first step of drawing it into the dantian is enough to overwhelm anyone."

"This kid is too weird!"

"Is he even human?"

Beside him, Hua Wanzi wore a joyful expression.

I am genuinely happy that my senior brother Feng Wanli has such a disciple.

At this moment, Shi Zhongyu, who was practicing the Snow Mountain Sect's mental cultivation method, slowly opened his eyes after circulating the method for one cycle.

[Effective Operation, Proficiency +1]

His gaze then fell upon the invisible pages in front of him.
