Chapter 104: The Purple Qi Arrives from the East

  The moon waxes and wanes at night.

  On a massive rock on a high mountain body, not far from the Iron Hoof tribe, less than tens of meters away, facing the splashing moonlight, in the bright light, a tall young man was sitting cross-legged.

  He was about one meter eight three in height, with a sturdy build, and even when sitting cross-legged on the giant mountain rock, he looked majestic. The pair of slightly cyan cow horns on his head were sharp and curved, indicating that he was a 'Kaitel' bull-headed person. His facial features were clear-cut, like a knife cut, giving off a sense of determination, revealing his mixed-blood identity.

  There is only one person who has such an identity in the Iron Hoof tribe, and that is Ye Han·Kaitel, the eldest son of the tribal leader, a mixed-blood cow-headed man.

  Moreover, he is the only one who likes to practice under the moonlight at night. As for other rough and rugged 'Kete' bull-headed people, they would have run back home early in this deep cold night, closed their doors, hugged their wives, and snuggled into their warm beds to make little bull-headed babies. Who has the mood to be outside? These rough guys don't have the habit of freezing outside on a cold night!

  For Ye Han, this life is topped with the identity of a cow-headed person, and he is also enjoying the benefits brought by the identity of a cow-headed person, that is, physical quality, and vigorous energy are much stronger than before, so he can cultivate Neijiaquan to this level in a short period of time. But essentially, what is Neijiaquan? In ancient times, it was a kind of deep mountain and old forest practitioners who were generally good at flying and hitting, and had a kind of grandeur and transcendence by nature.

  Practicing in front of the moon, in ancient China, was called "swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon", which is not entirely unreasonable, there are great subtleties within.

  In ancient Chinese culture, there is a concept called "拟神" (imitating the divine), which involves learning from nature and mastering the ultimate principles that humans do not possess. The "Five Animals Play" created by Hua Tuo and the "Twelve Forms Fist" in internal martial arts are based on the same principle, using mimicry of animal movements to achieve a sense of unity with heaven and humanity. This is extremely difficult to master, and only a few people can enter this realm. This involves a higher level of spiritual domain, where ancient legends tell of animals becoming spirits. The white fox spirit appears on the grave mound, swallowing and spitting out moonlight, while the old yellow dog-like creature only appears at night under the full moon. Even the jackal howls at the moon from the mountain ridge, singing a high-pitched song, known as "啸月天狼" (Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf). Why do so many supernatural creatures like to appear on moonlit nights and have such a strong affinity for the moon?

  That's because in many mythological systems, the moonlight itself has a certain wondrous effect that can stimulate growth on both physical and spiritual levels. In internal martial arts, this earliest form of qigong practitioners practicing under the moonlight can indeed calm the mind to achieve unity of body and clarity of thought.

  Having reached Ye Han's level, cultivation had become a habit. The way of martial arts was that if you didn't advance, you would retreat. If he didn't practice for a day, he wouldn't feel comfortable.

  However, what he needs to do now is not to practice internal martial arts. In his palms, the aura is surging, and a slender, coiled purple grass is placed flat in the middle of his joined hands. Gradually, it is dissolved by the aura, and a hazy purple mist spreads between his palms, extremely mysterious, like purple smoke swirling in the center of his palms...

  In an instant, all the purple mist condensed into shape, transformed into a purple light, like a winding purple dragon rising up, 'Whoosh!' and flew into the sky.

  At this time, Ye Han, who was sitting cross-legged on the rocky mountain, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, took a deep breath, and sucked in the fine, purple dragon-like light that was shining towards the bright moonlight.

  Then he closed his eyes again.

  Rumbling! From his body, a sound like thunder rumbled out, as if something was quietly transforming. Gradually, a purple mist condensed and appeared behind the large rock where Ye Han sat cross-legged, lingering like a giant purple sun. Then, his face also gradually spread with a wisp of smoke, and the purple aura condensed but did not disperse, swaying in the wind.

  "The Purple Energy is Coming from the East!"

  If there were people from ancient China here at this moment, they would surely exclaim in surprise.

  In many ancient Taoist classics in China, it is recorded that among the many immortals and practitioners of qigong in ancient times, they often sat on a mountain cliff at dawn, facing the rising sun, practicing breathing exercises, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and experiencing the phenomenon of purple energy emerging from the east. This is called 'attaining the foundation of Tao' and reaching a certain level, having the qualifications to become an immortal!

  Ye Han was not cultivating or practicing Taoism, he was refining the 'Qiu Cao', and unexpectedly produced the same effect! It's hard to imagine that in ancient times, those who appeared with this strange phenomenon, were they also for the same reason.

  However, with his current internal family fist method physical quality, no matter how high or steep the mountain is, it's like walking on flat ground. His spiritual level has reached a point that ordinary people can't reach. If placed in ancient times, he might be considered as one of the same kind of figures as Pure Yang Lü Dongbin and Peng Zu.

  At this moment, Ye Han was refining the 'Qiu Cao', and it had also reached a critical moment. The purple mist on his face gradually disappeared, and his complexion became increasingly ruddy. His skin became increasingly delicate, and most strangely, a kind of peculiar fragrance gradually emanated from his body's 36,000 pores, drifting away with the wind...

  Finally, his body was surrounded by this fragrance.

  According to legend, a monk with high moral character and great virtue will naturally emit a faint fragrance of sandalwood from his body. Ye Han's internal martial arts training had reached the point where all impurities in his body had been eliminated, his blood was pure and unblemished, and every pore on his body was closed, making him immune to cold winds and hot air. His body had become a self-contained unit, which is what is meant by "impervious to heat and cold". This is the same principle as the legend of ancient monks' bodies naturally emitting sandalwood fragrance, which is a unique characteristic that occurs when the body reaches a certain level.

  And these peculiar fragrances are naturally the result of the refinement and dispersion of that 'qiucao'.

  This strange fragrance, contains a mysterious substance, just like the Tang Monk meat, has a fatal attraction to various wild beasts. Before long, I heard the sound of 'Woo Woo', and in the darkness of the dense forest, a pair of green eyes gradually lit up, looking at Ye Han sitting cross-legged on a large rock, just like a human-shaped tonic...
