Chapter 438: Chapter 438: The Breath of Everyday Life

This palm technique is also extremely formidable. When combined with the Vigorous Qi of the Primordial Skill, they complement each other and double the power!

Now that Ding Ling has reached Full Level in Primordial Skill, although only a trace of Vigorous Qi remains in his body’s meridians, the Nine Yang Divine Skill can still unleash the unrivaled power of the Primordial Palm.

Ding Ling casually flipped his hand, unleashing a palm force of Primordial Ruyi, smack! It struck a large tree beside him, imprinting a one-inch deep mark on it.

And this was without Ding Ling using full force.

If he were to use full force, one palm would probably break the tree.

"Not bad."

Ding Ling was quite satisfied.

This Primordial Palm is also a High Tier palm technique.

With the Nine Yang Divine Skill powering it, it becomes indestructible, naturally beyond question.

Not just the Primordial Palm.

The Great Demon Subduing Fist, Nine Yin Divine Claw, Heart-Pushing Palm, Great Yin Yang Hand Seal, Tai Chi Fist, and other fist and palm techniques, when powered by the Nine Yang Divine Skill, are ferocious in power, far surpassing the previous use with Pure Yang True Skill.

Various moves were demonstrated.

With just two-tenths of force used, the void occasionally stirred with ripples.

Beside him, Little Dragon Girl watched with amazement and joy.

The stronger Ding Ling was, the happier she became, because if Ding Ling was strong, he wouldn’t get hurt. As long as Ding Ling was safe and sound, she felt at ease.

"Here."

Little Dragon Girl handed Ding Ling a cup of water.

Because the Storage Pouch can be used as long as there is Inner Power.

Little Dragon Girl can naturally use it too.

She used the water bottle from the Storage Pouch to scoop water.

After boiling the water, she took out the cup from the Storage Pouch and poured Ding Ling a drink, taking care of him meticulously.

As for barbecue?

There were quite a few horses killed on the battlefield, and they directly cut off several horse legs to bring along, so the two ate the grilled horse legs.

After eating and drinking to their fill.

With nothing to do, Ding Ling continued to teach Little Dragon Girl the Breathing Technique, guiding her to a stronger path.

As long as Little Dragon Girl mastered the Full Level of External Refining Breathing Technique, then practiced the Inner Refining Breathing Technique, integrating both, she could embark on the strongest path of body refining without any issues.

Because the potential of this Breathing Technique is endless.

It seems it can be used indefinitely.

Ding Ling naturally didn’t want Little Dragon Girl to miss out; if she were to learn, she should learn the best of External Refining Breathing Technique and Inner Refining Breathing Technique!

With Ding Ling’s high-level, insightful explanations.

Given time, Little Dragon Girl would surely reach the pinnacle path of the Martial God.

...

...

That day.

Little Dragon Girl and Ding Ling traveled south and arrived at an ancient and desolate mountain path.

It was deserted here.

But the two had been traveling for so long.

They had to rest here for a while.

Ding Ling, holding a bow and arrow, went hunting in the mountains.

Little Dragon Girl stayed behind, watching the warhorse, boiling water, lighting a campfire, and setting up some bowls and chopsticks, waiting for Ding Ling to return.

Throughout the journey.

The two have been cooperating like this.

Ding Ling’s bow is a Treasure Bow.

The arrows were collected from the battlefield, where Little Dragon Girl picked up dozens of quivers and stored them in the Storage Pouch.

With so many arrows.

Ding Ling had no need to go into town to buy them specially.

He used the bow and arrows for hunting.

Ding Ling, using the Nine Yang Divine Skill, performed the Tornado Arrow Skill and Double Extreme Arrow Skill, often easily shooting down high-flying geese and deer in the forest.

He has a huge appetite.

Lately, Little Dragon Girl’s practice of the Breathing Technique has also greatly increased her appetite.

Therefore, Ding Ling hunted and killed two wild boars and one deer before carrying them back.

Then Little Dragon Girl, by the stream, began skinning and other tasks.

She still had an ethereal, fairy-like appearance that avoided mundane occupations.

But now, she was engaged in worldly tasks full of smoke and fire. At this moment, with the rising sun, the slightly drunken rays of sunlight shone on her face and body, making her look more radiant and ethereal, like a fairy or saint.

Set against the backdrop of clear streams and green mountains behind her, she truly seemed like a figure who had walked out from a painting.

Just watching her was a kind of earthly enjoyment.

In his previous and current life, Ding Ling had never, apart from Diao Chan, seen someone as beautiful and lovely.

Even after seeing her many times, Ding Ling still felt he couldn’t get enough of looking at her.

Graceful and refined.

Like jade or flowers.

Incomparably beautiful.

These words were still inadequate to describe even a tenth of her beauty.

Perhaps only terms like ’Chang’e in the Moon’, which never grows old, could begin to capture a fraction of her allure.

"What are you looking at?"

Little Dragon Girl, sensing something, tilted her head, her almond eyes glancing at Ding Ling like autumn waters, and said:

"Watching me?"

"Yes. Watching you."

Ding Ling knew Little Dragon Girl’s nature. She wouldn’t lie, always spoke her mind, and had no hidden motives—what you see is what you get. This description fit her perfectly.

But her heart was also delicate and lacked a sense of security. This was perhaps deeply influenced by her master’s traits of ’humility’, ’caution’, ’modesty’, and ’gentle tolerance’.

Knowing her character, Ding Ling naturally knew how to interact with her.

He would never let her misunderstand or harbor any grievances.

Facing each other, the two were as honest as rock, leading to a harmonious, relaxed, and sweet way of interacting from the beginning.

Little Dragon Girl’s feelings for Ding Ling grew deeper with time, and she actively did many things.

She even did not mind holding hands or embracing him.

"Do you like watching me?"

Little Dragon Girl’s heart was filled with joy, her face beaming with a smile.

"Of course."

"If you like to watch, you can watch more."

Little Dragon Girl smiled with delight:

"I can show you every day."

"Hmm."

Ding Ling nodded with a smile.

After Little Dragon Girl cleaned the wild boar and deer thoroughly,

Ding Ling took over and began to prepare by taking out a cutting board, bamboo basket, and kitchen knife, starting to cook.

With over a dozen strong horses and storage pouches,

there was no need to worry about not having a place to store things.

Ding Ling naturally bought to his heart’s content.

These things were purchased earlier in a small town.

With money, there was no concern about not being able to buy things.

Ding Ling’s culinary skills were exceptional.

After Little Dragon Girl tasted it once, she couldn’t forget it, and every time she ate, she was full of praise.

Seeing her craving, Ding Ling wasn’t stingy about cooking, since he had to eat too.

Moreover, he had nothing else to do while idle.

Cooking and improving his culinary skills was not a bad idea.

His chopping speed was so fast that it was almost invisible.

Swish, swish!

After slicing the meat,

he then started to heat the pot and fry oil.

Since he was buying things, Ding Ling naturally bought everything needed.

He had to cook and eat by himself, so some utensils were indispensable.

Just as he finished preparing a dish,

clip clop clip clop!

A group of riders galloped toward them, and the dust they kicked up seemed about to ’drown’ the dishes. Ding Ling frowned slightly, stirred up the Nine Yang Divine Skill, and with a wave of his hand,

Primordial Palm!

A surge of vigorous Qi instantly burst forth, and the swirling dust all reversed direction, showering the riders’ heads and faces with debris.

They reacted, their faces changing in color.

The leader, with a ferocious and malicious look, glared harshly at Ding Ling, but he seemed to be in a hurry and had no intent to confront Ding Ling, merely snorting and saying:

"We have no time to deal with you today. If there’s a next time, we’ll definitely settle the score with you!"

After speaking,

the group of riders immediately spurred their horses and left swiftly.

Ding Ling touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, thought for a moment, and decided against taking action.

There’s no need to spill blood during mealtime, or it might affect the meal later.

Moreover,

those people had already left.

If there was a next encounter, and they remained this aggressive, Ding Ling wouldn’t mind letting them taste some blood.

"This place is so remote, yet people still come by."

Ding Ling was also surprised but didn’t think much of it, instead continuing to cook.

His inner power was highly advanced, and his physical strength was exceptional, making his stir-frying speed dizzyingly fast!

Combined with his Kitchen God’s skills,

his cooking speed was incredibly quick.

Not long after,

a dozen or so dishes were ready.

Meanwhile,

he was also grilling meat on the side.

This time, it was roasted deer leg. Under his special skills, the sizzling of the deer leg accompanied by the dripping oil quickly released a tantalizing aroma that spread in all directions, making anyone who smelled it react noticeably.

Little Dragon Girl couldn’t help but feel her mouth water, watching Ding Ling expectantly, patting her stomach and softly saying:

"Ding Ling, I’m hungry."

Eating the dishes prepared by Ding Ling,

Little Dragon Girl felt that her own cooking was unpalatable.

She now felt very happy every day.

Being able to be with Ding Ling and eat such delicious food, nothing in life could be more delightful.

"You start eating."

Ding Ling said:

"I’m almost done."

"We’ll eat together later."

Little Dragon Girl set the tableware, sat beside, resting her chin on her knees, watching Ding Ling intently, her face full of appreciation and enchantment.

Obviously,

watching Ding Ling cook,

was also a kind of enjoyment for Little Dragon Girl.

After a little while,

Ding Ling said:

"It’s ready."

Little Dragon Girl immediately picked some food for Ding Ling:

"You eat more."

"You too."

After Ding Ling sat down, he also served some food to Little Dragon Girl.

Little Dragon Girl was overjoyed, eating happily.

As the two of them were engrossed in their meal, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out.

"Oh my, oh my, what a wonderful aroma, such a wonderful aroma. I’ve never smelled such a fragrant meat aroma in my whole life," said an old beggar.
