The ground was covered in white snow, the morning light was faint, and silver threads stretched across the sky.

Ah Fei kept on his way.

He not only doesn't need to sleep or rest, but he can also restore his energy by walking.

This is a skill that Afei honed over nearly ten years of fighting wolves in the icy wilderness since childhood.

Just like a wolf walking on the snow, if there is no prey in front of it and no pursuers behind it, it will certainly not walk fast.

As long as he doesn't walk too fast, he can save the energy needed for traveling.

In such an environment, physical strength is extremely precious.

Afei opened the system "Ancient Martial Arts Chronicle".

There are four books inside, which record the martial arts skills I currently possess.

The system has divided martial arts into three categories.

These are: [Mental Techniques], [Techniques], and [Lightness Skill].

The category for "Lightness Skill" is empty.

Under the category of "Mental Techniques", there is only one book, "Mingyu Gong".

[The Mingyu Gong: The internal martial arts manual of the Yihua Palace, currently at level two.]

The newly recorded martial arts techniques are all categorized under [Techniques].

【"Transplanting Flowers and Jade": The core palm technique of the "Transplanting Flowers Palace," currently at level one.】

Like "Transplanting Flowers and Jade", "Mingyu Gong" also has nine levels as its highest level.

These two martial arts techniques even require the exact same resources to unlock.

This shows that the skill level of this palm technique has reached its pinnacle.

The effects of the first few levels are mostly to strengthen the palms, and amazing changes only occur when you reach the fourth level.

[Sweeping Through the Armies: Zhuge Gang created his own crutch technique, currently at level one.]

[The Snake Keeper's Tale: The White Jade Demon's Snake-Raising Techniques, Current Level 1.]

Both of these buildings have a six-story roof.

The first two or three levels of "Sweeping Through the Army" are just a prelude to getting familiar with the moves.

The first layer of "The Snake Keeper's Tale" is more like an encyclopedia of venomous snakes, introducing hundreds of types of venomous snakes.

The second level teaches how to catch snakes.

For me, the first few levels of the [Technique] martial arts do not significantly increase my combat power.

Only the [Mental Cultivation] type can improve one's strength at each level.

If I had the money, I could spend a small amount to unlock the "Mingyu Gong" to the ninth level, making even the current Yaoyue a formidable opponent.

So making money is still the most important thing.

The snow had long since stopped, but the chill in the air was even stronger.

With the southward-moving chill, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels came from behind.

With the blessing of the second level of "Mingyu Gong", the conversation inside the carriage could be faintly heard.

"Young Master is like this again." A rough voice sighed softly.

"Over the years, I've gone to the border crossing countless times, only to turn back."

For a long time, there was no response from the people in the car, only the sound of continuous coughing could be heard.

The voice then fell silent.

As they drew closer, the voice said with some surprise, "Young Master, someone's here."

He seemed quite surprised that there were still pedestrians in this weather.

Especially in remote areas where there are no villages or shops nearby.

The carriage window was pushed open, and the inner curtain made of mink fur had already been lifted.

Ah Fei finally heard the owner of the coughing voice speak.

"In this weather, there are still people working hard in the freezing cold. He must be a very lonely person."

The voice was too lonely, and too weary.

He was clearly exhausted, but he had no choice but to keep going.

Like a lonely traveler on a journey without a destination, not knowing where he came from or where he is going.

He hated loneliness more than anything in his life, yet he often found himself accompanied by it.

He saw Afei walking alone in the snow.

The boy was only wearing a very thin piece of clothing.

But the boy's back remained ramrod straight, as if it were made of iron.

When the carriage arrived, the man saw Ah Fei.

His turquoise eyes gradually widened.

The figure that caught his eye was exactly the same as Shen Lang, the man he admired and who was once known as the "Number One Swordsman in the World."

Shen Lang was once a close friend of his father, and the two were very close.

If he hadn't known that his senior had gone overseas many years ago and retired from the martial arts world, he would have thought he would actually meet him here.

Thinking of old friends, a smile seemed to appear in his eyes.

He opened the car door and said, "Get in, I'll give you a ride."

His words were simple yet powerful.

In this vast expanse of ice and snow, his suggestion was something no one could refuse.

Afei stopped and turned to look at the middle-aged man.

Although he was tall and upright, his hair looked somewhat disheveled and his clothes were not very neat.

His eyes were covered with wrinkles, and his strange eyes were emerald green.

In terms of appearance, he could certainly be described as handsome, but the haggard look on his face was hard to hide.

He held a small knife in one hand, the blade thin and sharp, his fingers long and strong.

In his other hand, he held a half-carved wooden figure.

Judging from the outline and lines, it resembles a woman.

At this point, the system has popped up.

【Discover……】

Li Xunhuan.

Although the system beeped, without any prompting, the name of the middle-aged man immediately popped into Afei's mind.

This person deserves to have wasted half his life.

He did only one bastard thing in his life, but that one thing is worth a hundred things others have done.

His self-destructive devotion and kindness towards others make it impossible to hate him.

So when she received this man's invitation, she was somewhat reluctant to talk to him.

Without responding to his words, Afei looked at the system.

[Li Xunhuan detected; martial arts technique detected: "Little Li Flying Dagger"; analysis to begin.]

In the original novel, Li Xunhuan's "Little Li Flying Dagger" is considered a "conceptual god" that never misses its target.

Aside from the Four Great Divine Skills, this move is basically the number one divine skill.

I had long admired it myself.

only……

Afei paused for a moment.

"Little Li Flying Dagger" has been categorized under the "Mental Cultivation Techniques" category.

It's not swordsmanship, nor is it hidden weapons, but rather "mental cultivation"?

This is completely contrary to traditional thinking.

But upon closer reflection, one can roughly guess the answer.

Li Xunhuan's throwing knives emphasize the concept of "unity of essence, energy, and spirit".

The better your condition and the more determined your mindset, the greater your power.

Combining one's own true energy with essence, energy, and spirit, and circulating it to its extreme, is indeed within the scope of "mental cultivation."

Seeing that the boy was just standing there in a daze, Li Xunhuan asked again, "Are you deaf?"

It's that same sentence again.

It seems that in this world, if you don't respond when someone speaks to you, they'll say you're deaf.

He gripped the hilt of the sword, lifted it slightly, and glared at Li Xunhuan sideways.

Li Xunhuan smiled, even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed a hint of amusement.

He said softly, "So you're not deaf after all. Then come on up and have a drink. A sip of wine won't harm anyone!"

Ah Fei sighed to himself, in Gu Long's world, anything could be lacking, but wine was never lacking.

In the original story, Ah Fei was taught by his mother, Bai Feifei, that he should never accept favors from others casually.

Therefore, when she first met Li Xunhuan, she did not hitch a ride with him.

But I'm a time traveler.

But judging from the direction Li Xunhuan's carriage was traveling, it was heading straight for the interior of the pass.

He then formed a plan in his mind.

He turned around and looked at Li Xunhuan, a smile appearing on his face.

"Okay, I won't drink other people's wine, but I'll drink yours."

Although Li Xunhuan was clueless when it came to romantic relationships.

But when it comes to his friends, absolutely no one can find fault with him.

Li Xunhuan finally heard A Fei speak and saw A Fei's smile.

He suddenly felt a little dazed.

It was as if I could see the gentle and refined senior Shen Lang in person.

However, the child in front of me was still too young, and the childishness on his face had not completely faded.

The carriage was warm and comfortable, with several jars of wine piled up beside it.

The two drank facing each other.

Li Xunhuan looked at A Fei with a delighted expression in his eyes.

He rarely met people who could interest him, but this boy intrigued him.

The snow on the road had frozen into solid ice, making it difficult to drive even the best horses on the ice.

The burly man with the bushy beard had already tied several iron chains to the wheels to prevent them from slipping too much.

The iron chains clattered and rattled as they dragged on the ice and snow.

Ah Fei scooped a bowl of wine from the jar, tilted his head back, and drank it down.

Li Xunhuan watched with a smile, admiring the way he drank.

Afei noticed his smile but remained silent.

In Gu Long's world, as long as you drink heartily, you can quickly gain the favor of those great heroes.

Fortunately, although I don't like this kind of drink, I've never gotten drunk no matter how much I drink.

After a long pause, Li Xunhuan finally smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

Ah Fei looked up at him.

"My name is Afei." He raised the wine bowl in his hand and said, "The wine is very good."

If you praise a person's wine, he will quickly consider you a good friend.

Li Xunhuan laughed and said, "It's good wine, but unfortunately, very few people have the palate to appreciate its merits."

"Call me Li Xunhuan," he said, then asked, "Why are you traveling alone?"

After he asked the question, the boy did not answer.

Li Xunhuan felt that this child seemed to be hiding many secrets.

Ah Fei's background is a mystery, yet it seems to be inextricably linked to him.
