Chapter 7, Magical Transformations

However, Tianlin is still young, and his body has not yet fully developed. The distance between the seventeen acupoints on his body and the seventeen small holes on the stone wall varies significantly, making it difficult to accurately locate them. This is why his initial process took a considerable amount of time

During this period, Tianlin played with great joy, occasionally falling from mid-air, yet he remained completely unconcerned, rolling over and bouncing back to continue his pursuit

Ding Yunyan scolded, "Naughty, what is there to test?"

Ding Yunyan observed with his eyes and harbored doubts in his heart; what could be the reason for Tian Lin's behavior?

At that moment, another small hole emitted a beam of light, striking his back and causing his body to turn sideways

As the closed-door disciple of the master of Tenglong Valley, Ding Yunyan is considered to possess considerable talent among his six senior brothers. Given his age of over 200 years and his extensive knowledge, he certainly cannot be inferior to a six-year-old child

Such an analysis makes Tianlin's actions appear quite strange; could there be something hidden within this?

In response, Ding Yunyan's smile grew even more pronounced, a genuine joy emanating from within, revealing itself involuntarily

An astonishing scene lasted only for a moment. By the time Ding Yunyan regained his senses, Tianlin had absorbed the cold air, revealing the dark stone wall and the seventeen small holes on it

On that day, Lin once again fell from the sky, and a dazzling brilliance suddenly erupted on his handsome face, as if in that moment he had grasped something profound

In mid-air, Tian Lin remained motionless, the dazzling brilliance surrounding him gradually subsiding, slowly revealing his handsome features

At this moment, Ding Yunyan had largely calmed down. He quietly observed Tian Lin, his eyes filled with concern

This time has become much more complicated compared to before, as each combination of two small holes under the diagram can yield over one hundred combinations. Consequently, the time required is longer, and the number of configurations in which Tianlin rolls and rotates in mid-air has also suddenly increased

However, just as the radiance around Tianlin dissipated, a beam of white light suddenly shot out from a small hole in the stone wall, striking Tianlin's body and causing him to turn, now facing away from the stone wall

In this regard, Tian Lin was completely unaware of the pain, as all his thoughts were focused on the changes of the profound cold energy within his body, analyzing and memorizing the changes and results after each instance of being struck by the beam of light

Motionless, Tian Lin wore a smile on his face, his thoughts entering a wondrous world, completely absorbed in it

At first, he was somewhat confused, but soon he grasped the intricacies of it, firmly remembering the sequence of vibrations at each acupoint, the sensations within his body, and imprinting them in his mind

In the Cave of Condensed Snow, at this moment, Tian Lin is deeply captivated by the mysterious transformation.

With a blink, the ice melts, cold mist emerges, snowflakes flutter down, and the heavenly scales dance

Since the first fall, Tianlin had noticed that the cold air emitted from those small holes had an effect on his body

This process is simple yet requires a substantial amount of cold air, fortunately, there is an ample supply of cold air here; all that is needed is time

In the cave, the changes occurring on Tianlin's body had not yet concluded; rather, they had just entered the second phase.

At the cave entrance, Ding Yunyan was completely stunned; he simply stared blankly, having already forgotten everything.

Tian Lin felt somewhat puzzled, stepping back a few feet while keeping an eye on the cold mist, muttering to himself: "The凝雪洞, where does the snow... oh... it's coming."

Tian Lin turned around, the confusion in his eyes had already faded, replaced by a mischievous expression. He chuckled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see how strong this chill is, whether it can lift me. Who would have thought... heh heh..."

However, the good times did not last long; after a short while, the snowflakes turned into cold ice, gradually blocking the seventeen small holes

Ding Yunyan did not speak; he merely shook his head and smiled, thinking to himself: "He also possesses the innocent heart of an ordinary child, but he is rarely infatuated."

Having completed this, Tian Lin's body moved with agility, sometimes employing swift movements to evade the cold mist, and at other times playfully using his body to block it. In this manner, he repeated the actions several times, surprisingly slowing the freezing speed of the cold air.

Tian Lin remained silent, a clever smile gracing his lips, as he stepped forward to melt the freshly formed ice block.

As the small holes in the stone wall emitted beams of light once again, Tianlin returned to his original form, facing the stone wall, standing alone in the void, silent and motionless

All around, snowflakes and ice fragments are scattered everywhere, all of which are the masterpieces of Tianlin, the result of his series of transformations

At first, Tian Lin was not clear about these matters, but as time passed, he gradually pondered and soon understood the key point. He could not help but call out in his heart: "Bing'er, hurry up, faster, I can't wait any longer"

At this moment, the seventeen acupoints on Tianlin's body have been opened by the cold air emanating from the stone wall, forming a closed circuit that continuously absorbs the external cold air, compressing and transforming it while replenishing the required energy

Ding Yunyan was somewhat surprised by his fall and asked, "Tian Lin, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly fall?"

Subsequently, the testing conducted by Tianlin's hetushu.com proved effective, with the second and third attempts... resulting in falls that became increasingly proficient, gradually understanding that the seventeen small holes on the stone wall corresponded to the seventeen acupoints on the human body

Now, the seventeen small holes have begun their second round of attack, with each instance featuring two small holes simultaneously emitting beams of light, striking two acupoints on Tianlin's body, which is markedly different from the previous occasion

On the stone wall, seventeen small holes emitted a chilling air, precisely striking seventeen acupoints on Tian Lin's body. This caused a flash of silver light to envelop him, and the icy energy within him began to circulate automatically, traversing between the seventeen acupoints, forming a unique operational technique.

In this way, the third beam of light was timely emitted, causing Tianlin's body to rotate in mid-air. ... Subsequently, the fourth, fifth, ... and so on, until the seventeenth beam of light appeared one after another, making Tianlin's body spin faster and faster, resembling a top controlled by someone.

In the subsequent two hours, the seventeen small holes in the stone wall launched the third, fourth, fifth, and so on, up to the fifteenth and sixteenth rounds of attack, causing Tianlin to attempt sixteen basic transformations and nearly ten thousand irregular changes, from which he learned a great deal but also lost much.

Based on his understanding of Tianlin, this six-year-old child is not one to be overly playful; the current snowy scenery is evidently not captivating enough to enthrall him.

He felt very complicated about this, yet he did not stop it, for he was not the kind of narrow-minded person.

Tian Lin has already mastered the secrets of the凝雪洞. Although it does not contain the cultivation techniques hidden in the last雪影洞, this process is still worth reminiscing about; otherwise, how could Ding Yunyan have easily agreed to bring him here

Upon thinking of this, Ding Yunyan immediately focused on the *illustrations* and *books*. However, after looking for a long time, aside from occasionally seeing Tianlin fall, he found nothing else. This left Ding Yunyan puzzled, wondering whether he was overthinking or simply failing to understand Tianlin's thoughts.

At that moment, the speed at which the cold air surged in continued to rise, reaching the limit of what he could endure, before finally ceasing to accelerate

Previously, those seventeen small holes exerted force sequentially according to a specific orientation. When corresponding to Tianlin, this created a mode of operation, which serves as a comprehensive outline of a miraculous technique—fundamental yet infinitely variable

That scene was incredibly enchanting, causing Tianlin to clap and laugh heartily, with joy radiating from his face

Subsequently, Tianlin continued his game, at times passing through the seventeen streams of cold light, and at other times using his body to block those small openings

On the stone wall, seventeen small holes gradually weakened in their chill, and in just a moment, they all ceased. This caused Ding Yunyan's expression to change dramatically, nearly making him unable to refrain from speaking.

As he spoke, he saw the cold mist condensing into snow, transforming into flakes that filled the cave

At that moment, a blinding white light enveloped Tianlin, and an extremely cold aura spread like a wave of light, causing Ding Yunyan to stagger and retreat three steps, his face displaying a look of horror.

The range of those small holes is not large, only within a few feet, and they emit seventeen streams of cold mist, each the size of an inch in diameter, resembling columns of water, with a bone-chilling coldness

On the surface, he appears to be in a daze, passively accepting everything, but in reality, the changes within him are extremely profound

As the inner call resonated, Tianlin's body instinctively synchronized, and the external chill suddenly intensified, forming a rapidly swirling mist of ice around him in an instant

With a cry of pain, Tianlin sprang up, while Xiaohe stared at the stone wall with wide eyes, filled with confusion

In just a short while, the seventeen meridians connected to Tianlin's body were filled with the profound cold energy, and the absorption rate began to diminish

Amidst the falling snowflakes, Tianlin wore an innocent smile on his face, his hands moving swiftly. In no time, a chill condensed into seventeen ice flowers. Then, with a flick of his right hand, those ice flowers shot into the hard rock on his left, aligning perfectly with the seventeen small holes.

Upon his arrival, Tianlin's entire being shimmered with radiance, automatically absorbing the cold air emanating from seventeen small orifices, transforming it into his own power

Observing this situation, Ding Yunyan initially thought nothing of it, merely attributing it to Tian Lin's playful nature. However, as time passed, Ding Yunyan began to find it strange.

Time gradually passed with the changes occurring in Tianlin.

After all, Tianlin is merely a six-year-old child. Although he is free of distractions, he is unable to remember all the changes in a short period of time

Ding Yunyan was greatly shaken upon witnessing this scene, realizing that Tianlin had grasped a certain mystery unknown to him, and that his body was undergoing a transformation

Time slips away quietly

As he pondered, Tianlin's fallen body rose from the ground, suspended several feet away from the stone wall, hovering in mid-air

It is only natural that he cannot fathom Tian Lin's intentions, as some things cannot be truly understood without personal experience

At that time, he was naive and ignorant, unaware of what the influence specifically referred to, and thus could only blindly experiment, hoping to strike lucky.

Upon seeing this, Tianlin felt somewhat displeased. He immediately stepped forward and extended his right hand, intending to absorb the ice block and restore the beautiful scenery within the cave

Suddenly, the soaring Tianlin let out a soft cry, its moving body came to an abrupt halt, and it fell from several feet above the ground.
