"Hahaha, Siwu, do you dare to have a match with your master?"

Qin Shou stood on his skis in the swirling snow of the canyon, laughing loudly.

He hadn't experienced this kind of extreme sport where ordinary people challenge nature for a very long time. The thrill and sense of accomplishment can only be understood by experiencing it firsthand.

However, for Qin Shou now, he is a cultivator, and when he skis again, he no longer feels the tension of frantically testing the edge of life, seeking and breaking through the limits. Instead, he feels more nostalgia and sorrow for his first life as a mortal.

"Hahaha, excellent! This disciple couldn't be happier."

Xiao Xuan cupped his hands and laughed, his bright red dragon robe billowing in the wind.

"However, Master, we agreed beforehand that neither of us should use our cultivation."

"That's natural."

Qin Shou laughed.

The significance of competitive skiing lies in fair competition, where everyone can use their strengths, break through limits, and surpass them. Relying on special skills would diminish its original meaning and enjoyment.

"OK! "

Da Mei jumped up happily, raising her little hand and saying, "Master wants to have a competition with Si Wu, and I want to be the referee!"

"The goose wants one too! The goose wants to be the referee!"

Yi Cheng tugged at Qin Shou's arm, her little eyes darting around as she whispered, "Master, can we let the goose be the referee? The goose will rule you the winner."

"Whoa! Junior Sister, could you please speak a little louder?"

Xiao Xuan raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Alright, Yicheng, you can be a referee after you learn to ski."

Qin Shou patted Yi Cheng's head and laughed, "You and Xiao Pang are learning to ski with Da Mei in this grand canyon right now. Once you've all learned, your master will organize a big competition for you, and there will be prizes!"

Sigh, I'll have to bring those little demons from down the mountain to be my bottom line, otherwise any of them who loses will whine for ages.

"Okay, Master, the goose is so smart, it will definitely learn it quickly."

Yi Cheng, chin held high and double chin pointing skyward, said confidently, "Besides, Little Fatty and Black Rabbit are so clumsy, they definitely can't outskate me."

"Yes, Master believes in you."

Qin Shou chuckled, then said to Xiao Xuan:

"Siwu, do you see that mountain in the distance?"

"I saw it."

Xiao Xuan looked in the direction Qin Shou pointed. There were layers of mountains, and among the vast white mist, one peak stood out the most prominently.

"It's dozens of miles away from here as the crow flies. Let's start skiing from here, reach the foot of that peak, pick a dragon fruit, and then return here. The first one to arrive wins!"

"Understood, Master."

Xiao Xuan rubbed his hands together and laughed loudly, "I won't let you have your way later, hahaha!"

(ˉ▽￣～) "Tch~~"

Qin Shou curled his lip.

"Da Mei, you say 'start'."

Qin Shou called out.

"Okay, I'm coming."

Qin Shou and Xiao Xuan arrived at a steep slope. Da Mei glided forward on her small skis, drew a line in the snow with her small ski pole, and then raised her ski pole and shouted:

"Master, Siwu, I'm about to call 'Start!'"

"Um. "

"Um. "

Qin Shou and Xiao Xuan nodded, leaning forward slightly, both entering a ready state.

"Ready—"

"One, two, three, go!"

With Da Mei's command, Qin Shou and Xiao Xuan's bodies shot out like arrows released from a bow, or like sharp scythes slicing through the earth, leaving a long snow trail in just a few breaths.

"Little Fatty, Da Mei miscounted again." Yi Cheng nudged Little Fatty's arm with her elbow.

"Mmm, my sister can't count." Little Fatty nodded in agreement.

"Shh~, don't say that, Da Mei will get angry again if she hears you."

Black Rabbit raised a finger to his lips and sighed.

"Hehehe, Black Rabbit, you can't even count, can you?"

Yi Cheng raised her intelligent little eyes and looked at the black rabbit.

Black Rabbit immediately became anxious, glaring with her large, round eyes, and said, "Nonsense! You taught me how to count, Orange! Have you forgotten?"

"Oh, right, so you can count."

Yi Cheng nodded her chubby little head.

"Alright, Yi Cheng, little sister, Black Rabbit, I'll teach you how to ski now."

Da Mei puffed out her small chest, put her hands on her hips, and said proudly.

The owner said that she was much, much better at skiing than her owner the first time she tried.

So now Da Mei is very confident, and she feels that she can teach her younger sisters to ski.

......

Swoosh—

Swoosh—

In the distance, amidst the grand canyon, two figures traversed the vast snowfield as if flying on swords. The wind howled in their ears, snowflakes swirled around them, and their skis, like sharp blades, sliced ​​through the thick snow, leaving a long trail.

"Haha, Siwu! For a first-time skier, this level of skill is already quite impressive."

Qin Shou shouted at Xiao Xuan, who was dozens of steps behind.

"Master, don't be too happy yet, the outcome is still uncertain."

Xiao Xuan's skis suddenly accelerated, speeding towards the Qin beast. Soon, the master and disciple were neck and neck.

In the distance, a great sun shines high in the sky, and the master and disciple stand like immortals overlooking an abyss, each possessing an indescribable charm.

This ski run is long, complex, and varied, and has a high level of difficulty.

Qin Shou was confident that even the most professional athletes from his previous life would be limited by their physical bodies and wouldn't be able to cover more than a third of the distance. The reason Qin Shou created such a ski slope was because he was a cultivator. Although he didn't use his cultivation, his physical body was incomparable to those of ordinary people.

At least, it's no longer affected by wind and snow.

Time slowly passed...

In that initial canyon, Yi Cheng and his friends played for an entire day and were still having a great time.

When we get tired of studying, we have snowball fights and build snowmen, and then we continue studying.

By evening, he had finally started to get the hang of it. Although he still fell a lot, he was able to glide for several hundred meters on his own.

"Why haven't Master and the others returned yet?"

Several little ones lay in the snow, breathing out air listlessly.

Some even crossed their legs and strolled around leisurely.

Suddenly, Yi Cheng raised her little eyes and said, "Hey? Little Fatty, didn't the geese eat lunch?"

“That’s right.” Little Fatty blinked his big eyes and said.

"Oh dear, what a huge loss!"

The little ones were immediately annoyed.

"They're back, Master is back."

In the distance, Da Mei, who was diligently learning to ski, suddenly shouted loudly.

"Where? Where is Master Goose?"

One orange, one carp leaps up...

Another somersault...

Then, another somersault...

Yi Cheng rolled over, slowly got up, and looked into the distance with her little eyes.

As the sun sets, the sky is ablaze with the colors of sunset.

Two figures, one after the other, leaped through the swirling smoke and clouds as if flying, with the relentless wind and snow chasing after them.

Wow! Master is so handsome!

Yi Cheng said enviously.

"Haha, Master, you flatter me."

In the Grand Canyon, Xiao Xuan landed steadily, then turned around, cupped his hands, and laughed heartily at Qin Shou.

"Hehehe, the younger generation truly surpasses the older."

Qin Shou responded with a smile.

Then, seeing that it was getting late, he called everyone back to eat.

On Turtle Mountain, lights shone brightly.

The group carried plates of hot dishes to the table.

As a result, Xiao Xuan broke the sect's rules by entering with his left foot first, and was beaten up and made to stand aside with a plate on his head, not allowed to sit at the table to eat.
