Then, an Immortal Crane flew out from behind the White-clothed Immortal. The Immortal Crane was entirely snow-white, its wings shimmering with a soft glow under the sunlight, like flowing clouds. It gracefully turned, its wings gently fluttering, stirring up a gentle breeze. In an instant, the Immortal Crane transformed into an elder, with white hair and a youthful face, eyes deep and wise, exuding an extraordinary aura—it was indeed the elder from Spirit Mountain. Shen Jingqi suddenly realized that after he and Lin Yue left Spirit Mountain in search of a cultivation place, time had flown by, and a long time had already passed. Seeing the elder at this moment, an inexplicable sense of warmth surged in his heart, as if a wandering child had found a home. His mind flashed with scenes from his time on Spirit Mountain, the days spent with the elder, collecting Spirit Grass together in the morning, sitting around the bonfire at night listening to the elder speak of cultivation mysteries, a warm current rose in his heart. "Senior, so you are the true Crane Immortal!" Shen Jingqi said excitedly, his voice slightly trembling. The Crane Immortal smiled gently, the smile like the warm sun of spring, warm and gentle: "Children, after experiencing many hardships outside, now that you've returned, it's time to learn more truths." Lin Yue also stepped forward, eyes full of joy and reverence: "Senior, we will cherish this opportunity and strive to cultivate hard." The Crane Immortal nodded and said, "Follow me to Spirit Mountain, where you will find everything you desire." Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue followed the Crane Immortal up Spirit Mountain once more, hope burning in their hearts, as if they could see their path of cultivation steadily rising. They looked forward to learning more Cultivation Methods at Spirit Mountain and unraveling the mysteries hidden behind cultivation. On Spirit Mountain, the Crane Immortal led Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue towards the Cultivation Secret Realm of Spirit Mountain. Along the way, the scenery of Spirit Mountain was stunningly beautiful, strange flowers and grasses blooming one after another, colorful butterflies dancing gracefully among the flowers, and trickling streams flowing among the mountains with pleasant sounds. "Spirit Mountain, this ancient sacred place of cultivation, hides countless secrets." The Crane Immortal spoke as they walked, his voice deep and mysterious.

It was a place shrouded in a mysterious Barrier, the Barrier gleaming with multicolored light, as if guarding the secrets within. The Crane Immortal lightly waved his sleeve, and the Barrier slowly opened, an ancient and powerful aura rushing forth. Entering the Cultivation Cave Mansion, Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue felt as if they had entered a whole new world. The cave mansion was filled with a faint mist, the walls inlaid with glowing gems that illuminated the entire cave mansion like daylight. In the center of the cave mansion stood several ancient bookshelves, laden with various ancient Cultivation Manuals. The pages of those manuals had yellowed, recording countless ancestors' insights and experiences in cultivation. Nearby were several display racks, showcasing various mystical Cultivation Treasures, including a treasure sword that emitted a cold light, a Magic Staff that shimmered with colorful light, and Treasure Pearls capable of storing Spiritual Power. Shen Jingqi suddenly realized that after he and Lin Yue left Spirit Mountain, a long time had passed, and seeing the elder again, he felt a surge of warmth. He stepped forward, gently touching the Cultivation Manuals, as if he could feel the ancestors' wisdom and strength. He recalled the bits and pieces on Spirit Mountain, the days spent gathering herbs and practicing Alchemy with the elder, and the hard practice day and night for cultivation. "Senior, these Manuals and Treasures are indeed the treasures of Spirit Mountain!" Shen Jingqi exclaimed emotionally. The Crane Immortal nodded and said, "Indeed, these Manuals and Treasures are the culmination of the hard work of many generations of Spirit Mountain ancestors. They contain endless cultivation mysteries, waiting for the destined to explore." Lin Yue curiously picked up a manual, opened it, and saw records of a mystical Cultivation Technique inside. The more she read, the more engrossed she became, as if entering a wondrous cultivation world. After communicating, they found out that the elder was the true Crane Immortal. He looked at Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue with expectant eyes: "Children, the legends of Spirit Mountain are far beyond what you know. Here lies a higher realm of cultivation, only through relentless effort can you reach those mystical powers." Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue realized that after they left Spirit Mountain in search of a place to cultivate, a long time had passed, and now seeing the elder, they suddenly felt a sense of warmth. They secretly vowed in their hearts to work hard in cultivation at Spirit Mountain and uncover the secrets hidden behind cultivation. "Senior, we will try our best!" Shen Jingqi said firmly. The Crane Immortal nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very well, from today on, I will teach you the cultivation methods of Spirit Mountain. But remember, the path of cultivation is full of hardships and challenges, only by holding onto your true self can you go further." Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue exchanged a glance and said in unison: "Rest assured, Senior, we will keep it in our hearts and not disappoint your expectations." Thus, the Crane Immortal began to instruct Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue in the methods of cultivation. Standing in the center of the Cultivation Cave Mansion, his posture tall like a venerable pine tree, he slowly began to explain each key point of cultivation, his voice clear and rhythmic: "In the method of cultivation, the first importance is breathing techniques, you must learn to lead Qi with your mind, let the breath flow smoothly within your body." Saying this, he gently closed his eyes and demonstrated the breathing movements. His chest rose and fell slightly, his breath long and steady, seemingly merging with the surrounding air. Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue listened intently, their eyes fixed on every move of the Crane Immortal, afraid to miss any detail. They followed his example, sitting cross-legged, closing their eyes, and began to practice breathing techniques. However, as soon as they started, they encountered difficulties. The breath ran erratically within their bodies, completely unlike the Crane Immortal's description of smooth flow. Shen Jingqi frowned, anxiety brewing within: "What's going on? Why can't I control this breath?" Lin Yue also looked confused, a light sweat forming on her forehead as she struggled to adjust her breathing. The Crane Immortal seemed to sense their plight and opened his eyes, speaking gently: "In the way of cultivation, do not be impatient. Calm your mind and feel the flow of breath, use your mind to guide it." Listening to the Crane Immortal's words, Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue took a deep breath, striving to calm themselves. They tried again, this time focusing more, feeling the changes of breath within their bodies. Gradually, they noticed that the breath seemed to have a thread of order, no longer rampaging like before. Shen Jingqi felt a joy rise in his heart, thinking to himself: "So this is how it is, as long as we calm our minds, we can feel the flow of the breath." Lin Yue also had a satisfied smile, continuing to adjust her breathing with effort. Next, the Crane Immortal began to teach them some basic cultivation movements. He demonstrated while explaining: "This movement is called 'Spirit Crane Spreading Wings,' you must slowly raise your hands, like the Spirit Crane spreading its wings, and coordinate with your breathing, allowing Spiritual Power to gather in your arms." As he spoke, he slowly raised his hands, the movements light and elegant, truly resembling a Spirit Crane.
