The road is right under your feet

Chapter 301 Moving forward with a heavy load

Bai Xing held Yun Anle in his arms and climbed onto the horse, using his spiritual power to surround him to protect him from the bumps.

Afterwards I touched the horse's body with some surprise. It was soft and not prickly at all, and very comfortable to touch.

Bai Xing suddenly couldn't let it go and was in a very good mood. He even looked at Wu Xingzhen with a more favorable attitude.

He glanced at Wu Xingzhen who was still struggling over there, threw a needle at him, and he immediately became as quiet as a chicken.

Ah Fu gave me a grateful look.

Bai Xing nodded slightly, pulled the reins, tried to practice, and then he squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse ran a hundred meters away.

Bai Xing gradually picked up speed, galloping against the wind. The summer breeze blew past, giving an indescribable feeling.

"It's not that difficult." Bai Xing whistled a few times and said in a deep voice: "Go!"

The black horse galloped in the night, and all the doors passing by were closed, as if it was walking on a deserted street.

Huichun Hall was not far from the Yun Residence, only a few miles away, and they soon arrived outside the Yun Residence.

"Uu——"

Bai Xing tightened the reins and dismounted with Yun Anle.

The two guards were on high alert, but when they saw that it was Shirahoshi, they loosened their hands holding the knives and whispered, "Sir."

Bai Xing nodded and let them pull the horses down.

He ignored the people behind him, carried Yun Anle into the mansion, carried her all the way back to the bedroom, tucked in the quilt, and sat by the bed, watching her for a long time.

He sighed softly, opened the door quietly and walked out.

The moonlight shines down, forming a silhouette.

Bai Xing stared at his own shadow in a daze. The mission target was right in front of him, but...what about Anle?

Bai Xing felt mixed emotions and was a little worried.

He went back overnight and took out the black stone that he had originally intended to use to make a body for Qiqi, and put it into the Jiuxiao Cauldron.

"This Jiuxiao Ding is a spiritual weapon of the ninth level of the spiritual extreme, and should be classified as a half-step Dao weapon. It won't explode when used for sacrifice, right?"

Fire rose in Bai Xing's eyes, and his dark pupils turned the color of flames.

With a "clang" sound, the lid of the pot was closed and the temperature in the room dropped immediately.

Bai Xing sighed, "Although this alchemy cauldron is not a furnace used exclusively by weapon refiners, since they are both cauldrons, there shouldn't be much difference?"

Bai Xing shook his head. He didn't have a furnace anyway, and the quality of this alchemy cauldron was high enough, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Bai Xing stretched out his hand and used his spiritual power to activate the power of fire element. His spiritual consciousness was released and invaded the cauldron, but he was stunned for a moment.

A quarter of an hour had passed since it was put into the pot, but the black stone or black iron inside had not changed at all, and even the surface temperature had not risen much.

Dark, cold and gloomy.

White Star: "......"

"This thing is not afraid of fire? This is troublesome. Well, I'll let you stay in there for 49 days."

Bai Xing waved his hand and threw it into the corner. Then, with a "clang", a golden tripod appeared quietly.

Bai Xing counted the spiritual medicines in his hand. Fortunately, he had the habit of collecting spiritual medicines on a daily basis, so he didn't have any when he needed them...

Maybe because of alchemy and refining, he would collect any spiritual medicine or material of excellent quality that he saw, in case of emergency.

Besides, he has to refine pills from time to time, and every time he does it he has to prepare elixirs in advance...which is troublesome.

It’s better to prepare everything so that it will come useful one day.

He seemed to... start to like hoarding things from some unknown time.

As expected, it was the Qiankun Ring that gave him the confidence. If one was not enough, he could use two, three, or four, and create an infinite number of nesting dolls.

Bai Xing took out a Qiankun Ring that he received as a gift from a trade, which contained all the materials he needed to refine a third-level elixir.

After thinking about it, he took out two Qiankun rings, one was a storage ring for first-level elixirs, and the other was a storage ring for second-level elixirs.

These two Qiankun rings were also given as gifts during the transaction. Although the space is not as large as the one he is wearing, it is also large enough.

He refined more than a dozen furnaces of pills overnight, all of which were first-grade pills. He refined two to three furnaces an hour on average, and each furnace only produced one pill.

So...he worked hard for a whole night and only managed to produce sixteen pills.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the morning hour. The sky was slightly brighter, dimming the candlelight in the house.

Qiqi's alarm clock rang on time.

A beautiful piece of music mixed with Qiqi's unique timbre did not seem abrupt at all.

"Master, it's five o'clock, time to get up."

Qiqi realized it later and quickly changed the greeting: "Master, master, it's five o'clock, go for a run, morning exercise."

"A day's plan begins in the morning. Master, it's time to run!"

Bai Xing was in the stage of collecting the elixir when the bells in his ears rang again and again. Finally, he could no longer bear it.

"Got it, got it, turn it off, it's making my ears hurt."

Bai Xing quickened his pace, and finished the sixteenth pill.

He put it back into the jade bottle and placed it in a brand new Qiankun ring.

He walked out of the bedroom and headed towards the next bedroom in the dim light.

Next door was the bedroom where Yun Anle lived. As Bai Xing approached the bedroom, he heard the sound of a door opening.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Anle's cheerful voice pierced Bai Xing's eardrums.

"Master, I'm up, let's go for a morning run."

Yun Anle ran to Bai Xing, and Cuizhu and Meixiang behind him said nervously, "Young Master, please slow down."

As soon as the two of them went out, they saw Bai Xing, and immediately fell silent and greeted Bai Xing.

Bai Xing nodded, "It's okay, children just need to run more so they can grow taller, there's no need to restrict them too much."

As he spoke, Bai Xing touched the head of Yun Anle who had already run to him.

Yun Anle was looking up at Bai Xing, his eyes full of smiles, as if he was happy just by seeing Bai Xing.

The two looked at each other and said, "Yes, I understand."

"Go back."

"Yes." The two of them took their leave.

Yun Anle tugged at Bai Xing's clothes: "Master, where are we going today?"

Bai Xing smiled and patted his head, "Just in the mansion."

Yun Anle curled her lips and said, "Although the mansion is big enough, it always feels a little small."

"Oh?" Bai Xing's eyes flashed with a meaningful look, "Really?"

Yun Anle suddenly had a bad feeling and lowered his head anxiously.

Bai Xing took out a pair of bracelets and a pair of anklets and handed them to Yun Anle.

Yun Anle took them, put them on one by one, and looked at Bai Xing with some suspicion.

Bai Xing took out another flying sword, handed it to him, and asked him to carry it on his back.

Seeing this, Cuizhu hurriedly took out a piece of cloth and tied it up for Yun Anle.

"Okay, Master, what is this for?" Yun Anle played with the bracelet on his hand curiously.

Shirahoshi said nothing and snapped his fingers.

"what--"

Yun Anle's hands drooped instantly, as if being pulled down by something, and his back bent.

"It's so heavy, Master, what is this?" Yun Anle made a bitter face and tried hard to stand up.

Bai Xing smiled and said, "Master has carved a thousand-jin pattern on it, so it can weigh a thousand jin, but now it is only five jin."

"Today's mission is... to move forward with a heavy burden."

“Ah?” Yun Anle smiled bitterly, “But, Master, this one weighs five kilograms, and I have five together with the flying sword, so... twenty-five kilograms!”

Yun Anle was shocked and opened his eyes wide.

As he spoke, Bai Xing also put on the same bracelets and anklets on himself. The difference was that Bai Xing was carrying a virtual boundary monument.

As he carried the virtual boundary monument on his back, he said, "Come on, Master believes you can do it."

He patted Yun Anle's shoulder and said, "Let's go, follow me."

As he spoke, Bai Xing ran forward, and Yun Anle chased after him miserably, as if he had to use up all his strength with every step.

Even so, it's still crawling at a snail's pace.

Looking at the white stars getting farther and farther away, Yun Anle felt lost and ran forward with all his might.

Not to mention going around the Yun Mansion, even running a mile away is difficult.

He looked at the thing in his hand, then at Bai Xing in front of him. The look in his eyes became firm, and he stared at Bai Xing's back for a long time without looking away.

He has only one goal...

As long as I can become stronger, what does it matter if I’m a little tired?

After these days of training, Bai Xing's physical fitness has made a qualitative leap, and even his punches are more powerful than before.

In the past, when I boxed, I had more skills than strength, and I always felt like my moves were just fancy and for show.

Now that his strength and stamina have improved, even a simple move seems extraordinarily different.

Strong and powerful, fast, accurate, steady and ruthless.

Bai Xing was quite satisfied with this and became more determined to stick to physical exercise.

Only a good physique can bear higher strength.

Bai Xing ran around the perimeter of the Yun Mansion, strolled to the garden, and started stretching.

Even for him, it was not easy to finish this lap. His hands and feet were weak, his breathing was rapid, and he inhaled a lot of cold air for no reason, which caused a stinging pain in his throat.
