Martialism

Chapter 21's

The secret path leads to another, larger path with many winding paths.

Yi Ping took the lead with a flaming torch and Xiao Youxue followed him.

They walked for some time but there was still no end to it.

Yi Ping expression solemnly as he said, “We should go back now. This passageway is too big. We can easily get lost in this hallway and never turn outside. And the cave is getting colder by the minute.”

Xiao Youxue said, “Let's go back then ..”

Yi Ping nodded at him and said, “Maybe we shouldn't have entered this passageway since the beginning.”

It was because they were walking too fast in the dim cave. When he looked back and shone the torch to where it came from, he realized that there were many other passageways.

He sighed, “I think we got lost ..”

Suddenly, Xiao Youxue called him, “Yi Ping, look at this ..”

Surprised by her voice, she looked back in panic.

Xiao Youxue was inspecting a part of the hallway wall. There was an inscription carved on it. The inscription was not very clear but Xiao Youxue and Yi Ping could see each inscription clearly.

Yi Ping was stunned, “This seems like a complicated martial formula? Can you read it?”

Xiao Youxue read it, “The most powerful action is the mind, the highest function is the focus, the most positive mind is the absolute will, the universe is under the subconscious, the, nothing is impossible, activate motivation, inspire spirits ..”

Suddenly, Xiao Youxue said with great surprise. “Yi Ping, this is indeed a martial intricate formula. This is ‘Absolute’ Spirit Complex Formula, the most powerful mind complicated formula. Unexpectedly we will find it by accident.”

Yi Ping was very happy when he said, “I've heard of it too. Among the many famous martial skills, ‘Absolut’ Spirit Complex Formula is said to have been created by an old priest over two hundred years ago. It is said that his determination is so absolute that he is able to fight against the Heavenly Teasers and even in the most dire situations of all situations, he is able to remain calm and able to overcome seemingly impossible obstacles to overcome

Xiao Youxue smiled alluringly as he looked into her eyes, “You should really learn it. This way, you won't be tempted again.”

Yi Ping started to get confused when he realized that Xiao Youxue was looking at him as he teased her.

Xiao Youxue said, “Yi Ping. Let's take the time to memorize ‘Formula Complicated Spirit Absolut’. When we use our skills in combination with ‘Absolut’ Spirit Complex Formula, we will definitely see a marked improvement in our martial development. I'll teach you.”

Yi Ping nodded. He couldn't agree more with her.

When he had inserted ‘Absolute’ Spirit Complex Formula into his memory, he noticed that Xiao Youxue was faster than him and looked around this cave so sharply that he asked, “Youxue, what is it?”

Xiao Youxue said coldly, “Didn't you find it strange that someone would crave such an emblem complex formula in an isolated place? As if it was meant to never be found. We can barely read some characters as well.”.

Yi Ping asked, “What do you mean?”

Xiao Youxue said, “In time, the desire on the wall will fade or erode. If that fellow really wanted the Absolute Spirit Complex Formula to be known to future generations, wouldn't he at least try to preserve or hide it carefully first? “

Yi Ping saw what he was trying to say when he said, “So, you said that this complicated formula was left behind by someone in a hurry?”

Xiao Youxue said, “The facts are very hasty. It was as if he was in his last moments and just wrote it on the wall here so that this skill would not be forgotten by future generations.”

Yi Ping too, started to look around sharply. “Unfortunately, I think she also got lost in this cave and ended up starving to death.”

Xiao Youxue said, “If he dies here, then his corpse must be around here .

Suddenly, he said. “Yi Ping, there is a hole above this cave and it looks like a dry place. Let's investigate this cave hole.”

Yi Ping nodded.

They needed a lot of effort to find their way to the cave; they had lost a lot of their internal strength and were not confident to climb up the slippery cave walls with their light movement skills.

The inside of the cave was much warmer but still very cold.

What greeted them was another surprise and shocked them!

When they had just entered the small cave, they saw a girl who looked pale in a mediating posture.

Yi Ping asked, “Is he alive?”

Xiao Youxue flew towards the girl and examined her, she was surprised. It seemed that this dead girl was trained in a type of skill similar to the Golden Impermeable Body that protected her body.

After a while, he said. “He still has vital breath in his body but is as good as the dead.”

Yi Ping asked anxiously, “What do you mean?”

Xiao Youxue sighed, “It seems that when he was alive, he had suffered severe internal and external injuries as evidenced by his scarred body. At the most critical moment, he had slowed his heartbeat and now he was in a suspended death animation. “

Yi Ping nodded and looked at his gray skin. Indeed, he had been dead for a very long time.

Besides him was a black sword.

Yi Ping examined the black sword and looked at the two characters as he read it aloud, “Eternal Darkness”.

Xiao Youxue flinched softly, “This sword is an ancient sword and is famous for its extreme sharpness and craftsmanship. This sword is one of the seven most coveted swords of the martial fraternity ..”

Yi Ping said, “Who is this girl and why does she have such a precious sword.”

He added, “My guess is he was waiting for someone else to bring him back to life in time but it never happened.”

Yi Ping asked, “Can we revive him?”

Xiao Youxue shook his head, “There is no miracle that can bring him back to life now. Even if he could receive the magic potion now, the chances were so low that it wasn't even worth trying.”

Yi Ping sighed, “Honey once. Looks like Absolute Spirit Complex Formula was abandoned by him and we have no way to thank him.”

Xiao Youxue looked at him strangely as he said softly, “We are now lost in this cave, yet you are thinking of replying to others?”

Suddenly, Yi Ping exclaimed excitedly, “Pil Divine Dragon! What if we give him the Divine Dragon Pill? I have heard that the pill has the ability to revive even the dead.”

Xiao Youxue flabbergasted, “It was just a rumor. No one knew if it was true and there was only one in this world. Surely you didn't think to give him something so rare and precious? Do you know how many lives have been spilled on the Divine Dragon Pill?”

Yi Ping said coldly, These “Pil Divine Dragons require practitioners to have sixty years of internal strength and it is useless to me now. Moreover, we are all trapped in this ice cave. Even if we have the Divine Dragon Pill, what's in it for me if I can't get out alive?”

Xiao Youxue looked at Yi Ping with an astonishing expression…

But this Divine Dragon Pill was so precious that its existence would trigger a fierce struggle for it in the martial fraternity. Especially for super exponents who were all exposed to the level of martial development, the power of these pills would create a breakthrough for them and even remove some of their training mistakes!

And he thought nothing of giving it?

Yi Ping had already made up his mind as he said, “We have studied ‘Absolute’ Spirit Complicated Formula so even if this attempt fails to revive her, it is still a fair exchange.”

Xiao Youxue was about to say more but Yi Ping had taken out the Divine Dragon Pill, forcibly smashing it into powder as he mixed it with water from his water skin and forced it down the girl's throat!

He sighed to himself, “It wasn't even a fair exchange. Even a generous person would never give something so valuable without a very good reason. She is very generous ..”

But for Yi Ping, that was a pretty good reason.

Xiao Youxue liked her even more because she hated her selfish father.

He smiled as he exclaimed urgently, “We must immediately transfer our vital energy into him and spread the potential of the Divine Dragon Pill into all of his vital channels.”

Yi Ping immediately nodded and they did not hesitate for a moment longer as they immediately transferred their vital energy to all of his vitality channels.

After some time, ‘Dead Maiden’ started coughing and he really came back to life!

Xiao Youxue was stunned as he thought, “This is truly a miracle. The Divine Dragon Pill can actually revive a person? No wonder so many are fighting over it ..”

Yi Ping was also surprised. Now there were some white and pink colors on his face as he started breathing once more!

‘Dead Maiden’ opened his eyes and looked at Yi Ping and Xiao Youxue in great astonishment.

When Yi Ping and Xiao Youxue saw the pupils of his eyes, they were shocked. That's because his eyes are red! They had never seen anyone with such eye color before!

Xiao Youxue said, “He is still too weak. Just a Divine Dragon Pill alone was not enough to restore his health. He was in a state of suspended animation for a long time.”

Yi Ping nodded and slashed his wrist slightly with the White Emerald Phoenix Sword and dripped his blood into his mouth.

Both Xiao Youxue and ‘Dead Maiden’ were startled by Yi Ping's actions.

Yi Ping said, “I hope my blood can replenish him ..”

Xiao Youxue said, “Yi Ping, you sacrificed too much for her ..”

After some time, ‘Dead Maiden’ seemed to be breathing normally as he said weakly, “I...I'm still alive?”

Xiao Youxue said, “It is all thanks to him that you have swallowed the Divine Dragon Pill so that you can now talk to us. I don't expect it to work.”

‘Dead Maiden’ was even more surprised when he looked at Yi Ping sharply, “You really have the Divine Dragon Pill?”

Yi Ping smiled gently at her, “I'm lucky. A senior gave it to me.”

‘Dead Maiden’ still can't believe what he heard, “Do you know how valuable the Divine Dragon Pill is?”

Yi Ping said coldly, “It can boast of the internal strength of practitioners and can save lives.”

‘Dead Maiden’ sighed, “More than that and you just gave it to me ..”

Yi Ping said coldly, “At least it worked. I'm afraid it didn't work ..”

‘Dead Maiden’ nodded slowly as he looked at Yi Ping, “The possibilities are very small. Me ... I can't believe that you're going to seriously try it on me?” He was crying now as his voice trembled uncontrollably …

Xiao Youxue stared at ‘Dead Maiden’ as he gasped at himself, “Is he ..”

‘Dead Maiden’ said to Yi Ping, “I Lie Qing, what's your name?”

Yi Ping said, “I am Yi Ping and this is the Virgin Xiao Youxue.”

Lie Qing muttered, “Yi Ping..Xiao Youxue..”.

Lie Qing smiled sweetly at Yi Ping and Xiao Youxue, “You two are my benefactors. If you have something you need from me in the future, please ask me.”

Xiao Youxue was silent for a moment before he said, “We may have saved your life, but your injuries are too severe. I'm afraid a lot of your internal power has previously been exhausted to maintain this suspended animation.”

Lie Qing smiled weakly, “Nothing. I can practice again. Anyway, I'm alive now and have plenty of time.”

Xiao Youxue said, “Why are you here? Who hurt you?”

Lie Qing smiled weakly, “Good sister, this place is my bestowed place where I practice my skills. As for the second question, no one hurt me.”

Yi Ping was surprised, “Nobody? Is your enemy so strong that you won't tell us?”

Lie Qing sighed softly, “Truly nothing. I was only injured by ‘Divine Catastrophe’ and it was much stronger than I expected. Out of desperation, I took ten potent pills and went into the suspended death animation hoping that my injuries would recover by the time I woke up.”

He looked around the cave and said, “This place is not always this cold. This is the result of ‘Divine Catastrophe’. In the end, I still couldn't escape from him.”

Yi Ping had heard about ‘Divine disaster’ on many occasions now, but no one was willing to tell him about it.

Xiao Youxue had never heard of ‘Divine Catastrophe’ before. So he asked, “What is it? I've never heard of it.”

Lie Qing looked at them in confusion before he finally said, “You guys really don't know? How long have I been in a state of suspended animation? No wonder, you guys can give me the Divine Dragon Pill so freely. If I had the Divine Dragon Pill before. I fought with ‘Divine Catastrophe’, then I might have broken through to a higher level of divinity. I have failed .. “

Yi Ping asked her, “Fight of Lie Qing, what exactly is that ‘Divine Catastrophe’? We really don't know.”

Maybe he'll tell her because she looks like a relaxed person…

Lie Qing sighed, “I can't tell you.”

Yi Ping and Xiao Youxue were stunned.

Lie Qing smiled weakly, “Do not get angry. If you ask me what the Divine Disaster was before I fought it, then I can tell you. But if I tell you now and prepare you for it, then I will definitely die right now, at this very moment. Since I appreciate my life and I don't want you two to die with me, don't talk about this, okay?”

Yi Ping knew that she was a kind girl and he did not want to force her. That's why he nodded.

Xiao Youxue glanced at Lie Qing suspiciously as he sighed in silence, “Yi Ping, you are really too gullible. Can't you just say that he's just pretending? How can you trust anyone so easily in this fraternity? She has an angel face but do you really know what is really in her heart?”
