Chapter 22: Training the Five Animals under the Waterfall, Newcomer in the Imperial Ancestral Temple Alley
Of course, even if he fast-forwarded it, the effect of the Age Qi would still be the same. However, if he encountered some scenes of the same nature or origin as An Le\'s cultivation, he could gain insights by watching them seriously and resonating with his emotions.
For example, this time, the gray Age Qi burned, and the figure on the screen was using the Five Animals Body Tempering Technique!
...
The torrential rain poured down into the deep mountains.
The waterfall of the flying current resounded with a rumble, interweaving with the sound of the heavy rain that filled the sky like thunder behind the sunset clouds!
Under the hanging waterfall, a figure stood quietly. It was an incomparably handsome youth. The youth\'s figure was slender and not muscular, but standing quietly under the storm and waterfall, he was like a pillar that held up the sky, towering and unfailing!
The waterfall that was like the Milky Way poured down from above and smashed into the young man\'s back like a silver bottle shattering. However, the young man remained unmoved.
His breathing was like muffled thunder. In an instant, the youth opened his eyes and boundless Qi Blood burst forth from his body. He used the Tiger Form to wave his claws in the waterfall, bend over, and charge forward…
The Thirteen Tiger Forms were vividly displayed by the young man. The boiling Qi Blood surged under his skin and collided with the water, evaporating into white steam. The steam intertwined and actually vaguely transformed into a vivid tiger that moved and roared under the waterfall!
The impact of the waterfall was withstood by the youth\'s physical body. Under such an impact, every Tiger Form was flawless without any deviation!
This was the Greater Mastery of the Tiger Form!
In addition to the Tiger Form, the young man also began to practice other moves against the waterfall. The agility of the Deer Form, the stability of the Bear Form, and the craftiness of the Ape Form…
In the end, the young man began to practice the Bird Form. His body was like a sharp sword, and his movements were like a hidden sword unsheathed.
Compared to moves like the Tiger, Deer, Bear, or Ape, the young man\'s Bird Form was more sluggish and uncoordinated. Clearly, the young man had refined the Five Animals under the waterfall to perfect the Bird Form and make the Five Animals Technique reach Greater Mastery!
The young man was immersed in his rehearsing. He immediately stopped and rehearsed. The waterfall and the rain washed his back red. One could vaguely see the bones under his skin emitting light!
That was the symbol of the second realm of Body Tempering, the perfected-stage of the Spirit Bone!
Suddenly!
The young man\'s hand formed a beak shape and slanted upwards from the bottom of the waterfall. In an instant, a sharp sound drowned out the storm and the roar of the waterfall, as if lightning had appeared behind the clouds!
At that moment, the bird-like dissonance completely dissipated and interwove with the other moves to the perfected-stage!
At that moment, there seemed to be the cry of a white crane that rushed into the sky. Like an unsheathed sword, it came out of the abyss under the waterfall and pierced through it, slashing down nine feet of the waterfall!
...
The scene gradually disappeared.
An Le was mesmerized by the scene. In his mind, the scene seemed to be still rehearsing and playing without stopping.
He recognized the handsome youth. It was the Lin Residence\'s Fourth Master Lin. The scene should be the scene of Fourth Master Lin when he was young, when the Five Animals Technique had reached the perfected-stage!
At the last moment, the Greater Mastery of the Bird Form was like a white crane turning into a sword and slashing down a waterfall!
Fourth Master Lin\'s heart was filled with joy and pride, so he was captured by time.
In the dark room, An Le breathed in and out. The emotions and state of Fourth Master Lin\'s Five Animals Body Tempering seemed to be attached to his body.
His Qi Blood moved under his skin, and the temperature in the room suddenly rose.
An Le began to punch. After adding three wisps of Age Qi, the cognition and techniques of the Five Animals Body Tempering Technique seemed to have become much more familiar. In addition, he had observed Fourth Master Lin\'s training.
The power of the Tiger Form soared in a straight line as if a ferocious tiger was moving in the house.
BANG!!!
An Le, who had trained to the point of forgetting himself, accidentally affected the chair and it exploded into pieces!
The lethality of the Tiger Form increased by more than one level. The Qi Blood in An Le\'s body also circulated faster and faster under the practice of the Five Animals Body Tempering Technique, and his strength increased!
Ordinary Body Tempering required a medicinal soup to refine the body. The Five Animals Body Tempering Technique had a professional prescription, but An Le had never had the time to buy it.
However, with the Thousand-Year Genius Dao Fruit, the enhancement of Age Qi, and observing the scene of Fourth Master Lin\'s perfected-stage Five Animals Body Tempering when he was young, it directly pushed his Qi Blood to rise rapidly!
It was as if water was boiling in a pot. Under the silence, there was also an endless sound of boiling!
An Le continued to practice Bear Form and Bird Form. Deer Form and Ape Form were too agile and needed space to be used, and it was difficult to do in this small room.
Therefore, he did not practice them.
The Bear Form was like hugging a mountain. It was stable but had explosive power. The Bird Form was as sharp as a sword. With the enhancement of the Sword Dancer Dao Fruit, An Le\'s comprehension of the Bird Form was even faster. In terms of mastery, it was already comparable to the Tiger Form!
An Le, who was in high spirits, practiced the Five Animals until dawn.
That night, everyone in the inn found it difficult to sleep. However, no one dared to come and talk to An Le. After all, such a commotion was like a ferocious beast waiting for an opportunity to feast… Who dared to provoke him?
When the room finally quieted down, the innkeeper knocked on the door nervously.
"Young Master An…"
When the shopkeeper saw the mess in the room and the broken chairs, his expression became even more nervous.
This Young Master An was indeed a cultivator!
Why would a cultivator stay in their dilapidated inn?
"Shopkeeper, I\'ve been too focused on my cultivation tonight and disturbed everyone. I\'ll move out tomorrow. Take these ten taels of silver as compensation for the chair and buy some wine and food for the other guests to apologize."
An Le\'s entire body was covered in sweat. The middle-stage Qi Blood Awakening steam made the shopkeeper\'s legs go weak.
After sending the shopkeeper away, An Le felt that the matter of changing residences could not be delayed any longer.
After wiping his sweat with a towel, An Le sat cross-legged in Meditation for a moment to calm his mind.
Then, he opened his eyes and lit a candle. Instead of reading, he took out a drawing board and charcoal pen and began to draw the appearance of the bandit Constable Huang had described to him.
Rustle, rustle, rustle…
The sound of charcoal rubbing on the white paper was like silk bamboo.
Outside the window, the sun rose from the east. A faint ray of dawn shone from the end of the world.
...
...
After a day of spring rain yesterday, the temperature today had risen a little.
An Le rolled up the drawing and packed his luggage. After settling the room fees with the shopkeeper, he left the inn.
Huang Xian came over with his saber in the morning. He was very enthusiastic.
"Brother Huang, this is the portrait of the suspect drawn according to the information you described."
An Le handed the three sketches to Huang Xian. In order to better capture the suspect, An Le even rushed to work on a second piece. However, the progress was very fast following the first sketch.
The increase in his mind power and the familiarity of controlling his body also made the improvement in An Le\'s drawing skills very obvious.
Huang Xian opened one of the paintings and took a look. He looked at the lifelike person in the painting and couldn\'t help but sigh. "It\'s so real. With this painting, it might be a little different, but as long as there\'s a 70 to 80% resemblance, it\'s enough to make it difficult for the suspect to hide."
"Thank you, Young Master An. If we capture this bandit, you will definitely have a share of the credit."
Huang Xian cupped his fists and bowed to An Le.
An Le smiled and the two of them left together, strolling along the long street where there were not many people.
"The courtyard is located in Imperial Ancestral Temple Alley on Qingbo Street. It\'s an excellent location and is extremely close to the Imperial Street. My brother spent most of his savings to buy it. It wasn\'t easy for him to settle down in Lin\'an Prefecture, but he didn\'t expect to encounter a mishap when he was capturing cultivator criminals." Huang Xian sighed.
An Le nodded. The Black Office constable was also an extremely high-risk profession. After all, they were facing cultivator suspects.
The two of them walked for a while and stepped onto Qingbo Street. They passed by a two-story building with an octagonal peak and heavy eaves. It was carved with beams and was rather majestic. There were even incense offerings curling up inside.
"This is the Imperial Ancestral Temple. His Majesty comes here every year to pay his respects. It\'s strictly guarded. There\'s a temple attendant guarding it. Don\'t approach casually…"
Huang Xian introduced and reminded.
Imperial Ancestral Temple…
An Le took a glance and felt a sense of majesty and grandeur. There was even a brilliant aura that was like a blazing sun and a terrifying mental power that lingered around the entire temple.
Even without Huang Xian\'s reminder, An Le would not approach easily.
After walking along the Imperial Ancestral Temple Alley for a while, they finally arrived at a courtyard. The courtyard door was open, and a woman was cleaning seriously inside. The entire courtyard was spotless.
However, An Le\'s gaze involuntarily landed on the woman.
