“Master Gui, this is very simple, isn’t it.” On Lin Yun’s young face, there was a childlike smile.
“I hope you can still smile so happily when you return later, go on.” Master Gui waved his hand.
Lin Yun said no more and ran straight out of the manor.
“Yuanyuan, you go too, accompany Young Master Lin Yun on the run.” Master Gui waved his hand.
Gui Yuanyuan nodded, then followed and ran out as well.
After running out of the manor, Lin Yun headed straight up the mountain.
The White Horse Manor was situated halfway up the mountainside, quite a distance from the mountain peak, but there was a stone-paved staircase that led directly to the summit.
“Why did you come.” Lin Yun had just run a short distance when he saw Gui Yuanyuan appear beside him.
“Father might be worried that you won’t hold out, so he asked me to follow you.” Gui Yuanyuan said.
“Master Gui is underestimating me too much.” Lin Yun said with a smile.
Then Lin Yun looked at Gui Yuanyuan: “By the way, how old are you?”
“Young Master Lin Yun, I am fourteen this year.” Gui Yuanyuan said.
Although she was only fourteen, as a cultivator, she was like an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old young woman, radiating youthful vigour.
Of course, the five-year-old Lin Yun was also the size of a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old.
“You don’t need to call me Young Master Lin Yun, in this White Horse Manor, I am no longer a young master, just call me Lin Yun.” Lin Yun’s face bore a smile.
After running for about twenty minutes, Lin Yun’s steps up the mountain slowed down.
“Huff huff… huff huff…”
Not only did his pace slow, but he was also panting heavily with each breath.
“Without internal energy to support me, I didn’t expect even running up the mountain to be so exhausting.” Lin Yun said, gasping for breath.
Without internal energy to aid him, he could only rely on his own legs to step up one by one.
Lin Yun was only a little over five years old after all, and without internal energy, his body’s inherent strength was not high; Lin Yun had not specifically trained his physical body before.
The number of steps Lin Yun had just climbed was at least equivalent to walking up stairs from the first floor to the fifty-somethingth floor, and at a running pace at that.
Without internal energy to support him, Lin Yun only now realised how arduous it was.
“Young Master Lin Yun, shall we rest?” Gui Yuanyuan asked.
Gui Yuanyuan was at the innate realm, and with internal energy in use, running this stretch was obviously very easy for her, forming a stark contrast with Lin Yun.
Lin Yun once again experienced how weak he was without internal energy.
“No need!” Lin Yun gritted his teeth and continued running upwards.
When Lin Yun reached the point where only one-third of the way remained to the mountain peak, his pace had clearly slowed too much.
Now it could no longer be described as running, only as arduously stepping up one step at a time.
“Huff huff… huff huff…”
Lin Yun was panting heavily, his mind somewhat dizzy, his legs aching as if they were about to lose sensation, and every breath seemed to make his whole body ache unbearably.
Finally, Lin Yun stopped, bending over with both hands pressing on his legs.
At this moment, Lin Yun only wanted to collapse straight onto the ground and rest slowly.
This seemed to have already reached the limit of Lin Yun’s body.
“Young Master Lin Yun, then let’s rest.” Gui Yuanyuan said.
“No, this is only the beginning, I can do it! I must recover! I cannot become a waste, I want to cultivate! I cannot give up!”
Lin Yun steeled his resolve and once again stepped forward, walking up the mountain.
Even climbing a mountain was so laborious, Lin Yun absolutely could not accept being such a waste for the rest of his life!
To reach the peak, it was destined to be a difficult process, destined to involve hardship and toil.
But to stand at the summit and overlook all the mountains, one must first endure this process.
Every step was extremely difficult to take, every step extremely slow and extremely painful.
Time passed, and an hour had already gone by since Lin Yun set off from the manor.
At this time, Lin Yun was drenched in sweat all over, as if he had just crawled out of the water, and his face was deathly pale.
His whole body was somewhat unsteady on its feet.
The fact that Lin Yun could still walk upwards now could be said to be entirely due to his willpower, due to his goal of recovering his ability to cultivate and persisting!
“Lin Yun, there are only a dozen or so steps left to the top, hold on just a bit more!” Gui Yuanyuan cheered Lin Yun on.
Even Gui Yuanyuan seemed utterly shocked; this young master of the Lin family, who was only five years old, had actually managed to hold out until now without internal energy to support him?
“Aaah!”
Lin Yun suddenly let out a great roar, his steps suddenly quickened, and in one breath, he charged straight to the peak!
