"Spring has arrived!" Ge Dongxu finally understood why Yang Yinhou was shocked, gathered his somewhat long hair, and said with a smile.

"Has spring arrived?" Yang Yinhou, looking at the snowflakes drifting outside, revealed a touch of confusion in his eyes, then a contemplative look, while ripples of mana emanated from him.

Ge Dongxu smiled as he watched Yang Yinhou, not disturbing him.

"I truly fall far short of you, brother. I can't feel the slightest hint of spring! Well, one can't force such things. Let's first go to offer respects at our master's grave, accompany him with a couple of drinks, and then descend the mountain," Yang Yinhou said after a good while, his face showing a hint of loss and helplessness.

He was well aware that if he could comprehend the idea of "spring's arrival, summer's growth, autumn's harvest, winter's conservation" as Ge Dongxu had mentioned, it would greatly improve his increasingly aging body.

It would be like an old tree greeting the spring!

Ge Dongxu nodded, then carried the offerings with Yang Yinhou to their master's nearby grave and Taoist temple.

The two brothers bowed to their master, placed the offerings and drinks, said a few words, drank a few cups, and then trod down the snowy mountain.

"Brother, do you know qinggong?" Ge Dongxu suddenly asked while descending the mountain.

"Qinggong? Years ago, I met a Qimen practitioner in Cangzhou who excelled at the Vertical Lifting Technique. He was known as 'Swallow Li San' amongst the people of the Martial World. You might have heard some rumors about him. I asked him for instruction, and after all is said and done, it's really just about techniques combining the force from one's legs and breath control," Yang Yinhou said, bending his legs slightly and then forcefully springing up like a cheetah or a cat. His whole body suddenly and effortlessly leaped five or six meters away, nearly three meters high, swift as a hawk, covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.

Not only that, but riding on the high-to-low terrain, with a few bounds, Yang Yinhou leaped and stood atop an approximately seven or eight-meter-tall snow cedar.

Yang Yinhou, with his silvery hair and white beard, standing on the treetop amidst the swirling snowflakes, truly resembled a great master of the Martial World.

"How about that? Junior brother!" Seeing Ge Dongxu approaching, Yang Yinhou lightly tapped the treetop with his toe, and like a falling leaf, he drifted down in front of Ge Dongxu, his face revealing a rare hint of pride.

Seeing the rare look of pride on his senior brother's face, Ge Dongxu found it somewhat difficult to shatter his complacence.

However, his senior brother had reached the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation and was even on the verge of stepping into the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer. He could barely control the shape of the True Qi he projected outwardly and could initially practice the lightness skill that Ge Dongxu had comprehended.

In truth, this could no longer be called qinggong but rather Flight with Control of Qi.

Ge Dongxu had his epiphany when he broke through to the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation and was studying physics. He understood how to control the shape of the projected True Qi and thus initially achieved Flight with Control of Qi.

Of course, back then, Ge Dongxu's cultivation power was limited, nowhere near enough to be called Flight with Control of Qi. It could only be referred to as qinggong, but now he had made some modest progress.

"The technique you just used, brother, although it involves some skill, relies more on brute force than on true qinggong," Ge Dongxu ultimately decided to be frank.

"Could it be, junior brother, that you know the true technique of qinggong?" Only then did Yang Yinhou realize that when Ge Dongxu asked him about qinggong, it was not to seek instruction but to share it with him. His old face turned slightly red, a bit embarrassed, but more than that, he was astonished and surprised.

"I stumbled upon it unintentionally, please watch, brother," Ge Dongxu said with a slight smile. He tapped the ground with the tip of his shoe, and the next moment, he soared like a true great bird, swiftly rising into the mid-air and spiraling without descending.

After a long while, Ge Dongxu gently floated down.

With snowflakes dancing in the air, Ge Dongxu glided down, seemingly like an Immortal arriving amidst clusters of snowflakes.

"This... you, is this the legendary Flight with Control of Qi?" Watching Ge Dongxu descend like a real Immortal, even Yang Yinhou, who had seen his share of life's ups and downs, was wide-eyed and speechless. It took him a while to stammer out his words.

Flight was, for the current practitioners of Qimen, truly an Immortal-like technique, something they dared not hope for or even imagine.

"I can hardly call it true Flight with Control of Qi. With my current strength, I can only fly three or four hundred meters," Ge Dongxu modestly said.

"So you can only fly three or four hundred meters?" Yang Yinhou looked at Ge Dongxu's modest expression, thought of how he was somewhat complacent after jumping just a few meters, and as his shock settled, his old face couldn't help but redden again. With a wry smile, he said, "Dongxu, those words of yours really make your elder brother here feel ashamed!"

Only then did Ge Dongxu suddenly realize, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Luckily they were all from the same sect and brothers, plus Ge Dongxu was the Sect Leader's junior, so Yang Yinhou didn't really feel humiliated. Seeing Ge Dongxu scratching his head embarrassedly, he immediately burst into laughter.

"Junior brother, you must teach your elder brother this Technique of Controlling Qi right away." After laughing heartily, even Yang Yinhou, with his composure, couldn't help but eagerly rub his hands together and urge.

Flying through the sky and soaring through the clouds was a dream for all people throughout the ages, and Yang Yinhou was no exception.

Now, he had the chance to learn this technique and just the thought of it made Yang Yinhou feel his blood boiling with passion, as if he had returned to his younger days.

"Actually, once you really think about it, it's quite simple." Ge Dongxu said with a slight smile, then he imparted to Yang Yinhou the Flight with Control of Qi technique he had comprehended through combining Bernoulli's Theorem and the circulation of True Qi unique to their sect.

The Flight with Control of Qi had become much more refined throughout Ge Dongxu's years of exploration, with many more skill-based maneuvers, unlike the initial crude beginnings.

Yang Yinhou, being intelligent and talented, listened to Ge Dongxu's teachings and after pondering for a moment, gave Ge Dongxu a slight bow, then with a tap of his toes on the ground, he too soared into the air like a large bird.

He flew out fourteen or fifteen meters and reached a height of five or six meters.

"Elder brother is truly amazing, my first flight was far worse than yours," Ge Dongxu sincerely admired, seeing Yang Yinhou's first attempt at Qinggong reach fourteen or fifteen meters high and five or six meters in distance, slightly better than his own first attempt when he was at the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation.

"We can't really compare that. At most, I have some talent for learning, but for you to create such a Technique of Controlling Qi in the Qi Cultivation Realm, you can already be called a Grandmaster of our generation," Yang Yinhou said, waving his hand dismissively.

"It was just luck," Ge Dongxu said modestly.

"Throughout history, how many in the Qimen wanted a glimpse into the secrets of this technique, but ended up not even grasping the basics? For you to understand it at such a young age, can that be explained by mere luck? Even if you did use luck as an explanation, how would you explain 'Spring grows, summer thrives, autumn harvests, winter stores'? You have clearly taught me, yet I still can't even find the threshold!" Yang Yinhou said with a stern expression.

Ge Dongxu, feeling somewhat embarrassed by Yang Yinhou's praise, changed the subject, scratching his head, "Elder brother, it's getting late; we should head down the mountain, otherwise my parents are probably going to be worried."

"Haha, I was just thinking of continuing to ponder your Technique of Controlling Qi." Yang Yinhou laughed, and before he finished speaking, he had already launched himself into the air like a large bird, unable to resist the temptation.

With a leap like a hawk taking off, he soon turned into just a black dot in the distance.

Seeing this, Ge Dongxu chuckled and followed suit, soaring into the sky after him.

Yang Yinhou grew more excited the more he "flew," even eventually taking to stepping on treetops and going from one tree to another, tireless in his enjoyment.

Fortunately, it was a snowy day and also New Year's Eve, so there was no one moving around on Baiyun Mountain and visibility was poor, otherwise if anyone had seen an old man with white hair and a white beard hopping through the trees, they might have thought an Immortal was among them!

"Exhilarating! Exhilarating! To have a junior brother like you makes me want to live for many more years, just to see how many more miraculous surprises you can bring me," Yang Yinhou said, nearing the bottom of the mountain after a series of leaps, he landed on the ground and faced the following Ge Dongxu with a face full of satisfaction as he smiled.

"Haha, elder brother, that's definitely not a problem," Ge Dongxu laughed.

"Haha!" Upon hearing this, Yang Yinhou laughed heartily and patted Ge Dongxu's shoulder vigorously, then the two of them entered Ge Family Village side by side.
