Training Begins

Chapter 4: Training Begins

Today is marked as the beginning of his secret training regimen. He knew that to protect those he cared about and to take down Xiu Li, he needed to become stronger than he was before.

He dressed in his training robes and made his way to a secluded part of the estate, a hidden grove where he could train without being disturbed. As he settled into his meditation, he felt a surge of determination. This was the start of a new chapter in his life.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Yin Zhao's progress was steady, but the training was grueling. He pushed himself to his limits, determined to regain his former strength and surpass it. He spent hours each day practicing martial arts techniques, refining his Qi, and studying ancient texts on cultivation and alchemy.

One day, while poring over an old manuscript, Yin Zhao discovered a new cultivation technique called the **Heavenly Dragon's Breath**. This technique involved a combination of breath control, meditation, and visualization to enhance one's Qi and physical abilities. Excited by this discovery, Yin Zhao immediately began incorporating it into his training.

As he practiced the Heavenly Dragon's Breath, Yin Zhao felt his cultivation level stabilize at the **Immortal Ascension Realm, 1st Stage**. He could feel his strength growing with each passing day. But he knew he couldn't do this alone. He needed the support of his friends.

Yin Zhao decided to share his discovery with Xiao Tang and Jang Wei. They were both eager to learn and quickly adapted to the new technique. Their training sessions became even more intense, and their bond grew stronger.

One afternoon, as they were practicing in the courtyard, a new figure appeared. It was Jing Wei, Jang Wei's younger sister. She had recently returned from her own training and was eager to join their group.

"Hello, everyone," Jing Wei said, her voice cheerful. "I hope you don't mind if I join you."

"Of course not," Yin Zhao replied, smiling warmly. "The more, the merrier."

Jing Wei was a skilled cultivator, and her presence added a new dynamic to their training sessions. She was also quite charming, and Yin Zhao couldn't help but notice the way she looked at him with admiration.

As the days went by, Jing Wei's feelings for Yin Zhao became more apparent. She often found excuses to be near him, whether it was during training or while they were taking breaks. Xiao Tang noticed this too, and although she tried to hide it, Yin Zhao could sense a hint of jealousy.

One afternoon, as they were taking a break from training, Jing Wei approached Yin Zhao with a shy smile.

"Yin Zhao, I made some herbal tea for you," she said, holding out a steaming cup. "It's good for restoring energy after intense training."

"Thank you, Jing Wei," Yin Zhao replied, accepting the cup. "That's very thoughtful of you."

Xiao Tang, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Oh, Yin Zhao, you should be careful. Jing Wei's tea might be too sweet for you."

Jing Wei blushed, but she quickly recovered. "I assure you, it's perfectly balanced. Try it and see."

Yin Zhao took a sip, and to his surprise, the tea was indeed delicious. "It's excellent, Jing Wei. Thank you."

Jing Wei beamed with pride, while Xiao Tang muttered something under her breath. Yin Zhao couldn't help but chuckle at the situation. It was clear that Xiao Tang was feeling a bit jealous, and he found it endearing.

As the months passed, Yin Zhao's cultivation level continued to stabilize. He remained at the **Immortal Ascension Realm, 1st Stage**, and his strength and abilities grew exponentially. His training sessions became more intense, and he often found himself pushing beyond his limits.

One evening, after a particularly grueling training session, Yin Zhao sat down with Xiao Tang and Jang Wei to discuss their progress.

"We're making great strides," Jang Wei said, his voice filled with pride. "Yin Zhao, your progress is remarkable."

"Thanks to both of you," Yin Zhao replied, smiling. "I couldn't have done it without your support."

Xiao Tang nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "We still have a long way to go, but I know we can do it. Together."

Jing Wei joined them, her eyes shining with excitement. "I agree. We're becoming stronger every day. And with Yin Zhao leading us, I know we can achieve anything."

Yin Zhao felt a sense of camaraderie and hope. With his friends by his side, he knew he could overcome any obstacle. They continued their training, their bond growing stronger with each passing day.

As the seasons changed, Yin Zhao's mastery of both cultivation and alchemy grew. He advanced to **Immortal Ascension Realm, 2nd Stage**, and his power was now formidable. His friends, too, had grown stronger, and their bond was unbreakable.

One day, while exploring the ancient texts, Yin Zhao stumbled upon a section on alchemy. Intrigued, he began studying the art of creating elixirs and pills that could enhance one's cultivation and physical abilities. He learned about the different herbs and minerals needed for various concoctions and started experimenting with them.

Yin Zhao's first attempts at alchemy were met with mixed results. Some elixirs turned out perfectly, while others... not so much. One particularly memorable incident involved an elixir that exploded, covering Yin Zhao in a cloud of pink smoke. Xiao Tang and Jing Wei, who had been watching from a safe distance, burst into laughter.

"Yin Zhao, you look like a pink panda!" Xiao Tang teased, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

Jing Wei giggled, trying to stifle her laughter. "Maybe you should stick to cultivation for now."

Yin Zhao couldn't help but laugh along with them. Despite the setbacks, he was determined to master alchemy. He continued his experiments, learning from his mistakes and gradually improving his skills.

As the months turned into years, Yin Zhao's mastery of both cultivation and alchemy grew. Consolidating his current realm at **Immortal Ascension Realm, 2nd Stage**, his strength and techniques has grown. His friends, too, had grown stronger, and their bond was unbreakable.

One evening, as they sat around a campfire, Yin Zhao reflected on their journey. "We've come a long way," he said, his voice filled with pride. "But there's still so much more to achieve."

Xiao Tang nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "We'll face whatever challenges come our way. Together."

Jing Wei smiled, her eyes shining with admiration. "With you leading us, Yin Zhao, I know we can achieve anything."

Yin Zhao felt a sense of hope and determination. With his friends by his side, he knew he could overcome any obstacle. The journey ahead would be challenging, but he was ready to face it head-on.

As the night grew darker, Yin Zhao looked up at the stars, feeling a sense of peace. He was growing stronger every day, and with his friends by his side, he knew he could achieve anything. And with Xiao Tang's unwavering support, he felt invincible.
