Chapter 565: So you're trying to trick me, right?

"you!"

Huo Lingchuan was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, "So you're trying to trick me, right?"

"Old Five, don't be so ungrateful. This is a great thing. How can I call it a rip-off?"

Huo Lingze raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said insincerely.

Huo Lingjun's face darkened and he lectured, "Qing Huang gave the secret realm to you, which means that you are the one that he values the most. Why are you so ungrateful?"

"Old Five, I'm not saying anything to you, but among all the brothers, you're the only one practicing. The more capable, the more work you should do. Don't you understand that?"

Huo Lingfeng also frowned, looking disapproving.

Huo Lingchuan cried, "Can I refuse?"

"cannot."

The whole family said in unison.

“Forget it, forget it…”

Huo Lingchuan sighed, "I'm scared of you."

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'll take over if you want. At worst, I'll just practice in the secret realm every day. Don't blame me if you can't find anyone."

Huo Qinghuang nodded with satisfaction:

"very good."

Her original preference was also for Huo Lingchuan.

In the entire Huo family, apart from Liu Da and his bodyguards, only Huo Lingchuan, Huo Yuchen and Huo Baoer were practicing.

Huo Yuchen and Huo Baoer are still young, not even ten years old. Even if they are talented, they will not be able to take on major responsibilities in the next few years.

After all the calculations, only Huo Lingchuan can keep the situation under control.

"Don't worry, I will let Zhu Yan assist you."

Huo Qinghuang smiled faintly, picked up Zhu Yan and stuffed him into Huo Lingchuan's arms.

"What?!"

The man and the monkey screamed at the same time.

Zhu Yan was furious and was about to jump away, but a look from Huo Qinghuang stopped him in his tracks.

It bared its teeth and reluctantly grabbed Huo Lingchuan's collar, muttering, "I'm an ancient ferocious beast, and I'm actually working as a babysitter for humans?"

Huo Lingchuan also looked disgusted: "How can this monkey help? It's good enough that he doesn't make trouble!"

"It has lived for thousands of years and has seen more than you. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask it for advice."

Huo Qinghuang said calmly, "And..."

She suddenly gave a dangerous smile, "If it dares to disobey, tell me."

Zhu Yan's hair instantly exploded, making him look like a red hedgehog, but he didn't dare to complain anymore.

That's how it was settled.

Huo Lingchuan held Zhu Yan in his arms, and both the man and the monkey looked as if they had lost all hope in life.

The others were obviously relieved, and Huo Lingfeng even hummed a little tune happily.

"I need to retreat for three days."

Huo Qinghuang looked around at everyone and said, "Please do not disturb us during this time."

She turned and walked towards the stairs, her skirt fluttering, her figure suddenly blurred, and the next second she appeared in the corridor on the second floor.

Everyone was stunned by this spatial movement, even Zhu Yan shrank his neck.

Entering the bedroom, Huo Qinghuang waved his hand to set up a triple barrier.

Then he sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind sinking into the cave.

There are mountains, rivers and everything in Shenhuang Cave.

In the center stands a towering phoenix tree with golden lines wrapped around its trunk, which are the result of her original power.

Huo Qinghuang's figure solidified under the sycamore tree. She reached out and touched the trunk, feeling the power flowing through it.

The leaves of the paulownia tree rustled without wind, as if welcoming their owner back.

"time……"

She whispered softly, her fingertips glowing silvery white.

This was a trace of the law of time that she had comprehended not long ago, and it was still very weak.

Under the sycamore tree, the grass grows, withers, and grows again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Huo Qinghuang observed this microscopic cycle intently, with mysterious runes flowing in his eyes.

“It’s easy to accelerate, but hard to reverse.”

She said to herself, "And to create a time domain with a stable flow rate, I need to understand it more thoroughly."

Suddenly, an idea came to her mind.

In the distance, the water surface of the lake began to flow backwards, and the waves retreated from the shore to the center of the lake.

But it lasted less than three seconds before the entire lake surface began to shake violently, and several columns of water shot up into the sky.

“It really doesn’t work.”

Huo Qinghuang shook his head.

Reversing a large area takes too much time and is extremely unstable.

She changed her strategy and condensed a silver ball of light the size of a basketball in her palm.

The speed of time flowing inside the light ball is obviously different from that in the outside world. A fallen sycamore leaf is flying inside, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

"Ten times the speed, maintain stability."

Beads of sweat oozed out of Huo Qinghuang's forehead.

This little experiment has consumed 30% of her spiritual energy.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of spiritual energy in the cave, and his spiritual consciousness quickly returned to normal.

Suddenly, the ball of light trembled violently, and internal time turbulence overflowed.

Huo Qinghuang hurriedly threw it high into the air.

The moment the ball of light exploded, time in that area was completely chaotic.

Some leaves decayed instantly, some turned green again and were reborn, and some remained frozen in mid-air without moving.

"Is it still too much of a stretch?"

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, but she was not discouraged.

Mastering a completely new avenue is a process of constant trial and error.

At this moment, a golden leaf fell from the paulownia tree and landed right in her palm.

Huo Qinghuang suddenly had an inspiration and injected the power of time into the golden leaf.

The golden leaf suddenly shone brightly, and complex time patterns appeared on its surface.

"I see!"

Her eyes lit up, "Only with space as a carrier can time flow steadily!"

This discovery boosted her confidence.

Huo Qinghuang immediately began a new attempt. He marked out an area at the edge of the cave and used the golden leaves of the phoenix tree as a guide to construct a space-time barrier.

Silver and golden light intertwined to form a translucent sphere.

Inside the sphere, an ordinary grass is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Huo Qinghuang made calculations with his fingers, showing a look of satisfaction.

The speed of time flowing inside is exactly ten times that of the outside world!

“Success!”

She let out a long sigh.

Although the range is only ten meters in radius, the principle has been mastered, and expanding the scale is just a matter of accumulating mana.

Just as she was about to expand the experiment, she suddenly sensed someone from the outside world touching the barrier.

With a sweep of her spiritual sense, she found that it was Huo Lingchuan holding Zhu Yan standing outside her door. He raised his hand hesitantly and then put it down.

"You came to see me in just half a day?"

Huo Qinghuang raised an eyebrow.

It seemed like a lot of time had passed inside the cave, but in reality, only half an hour had passed in the outside world.

She sent out a wisp of consciousness to transmit: "What's the matter?"

Huo Lingchuan was startled by the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind and almost threw Zhu Yan out.

"Well, the old man asked me to ask if any materials are needed to set up the secret realm. If necessary, make a list and he will go to the bureau to get it back."

“…No need.”

Huo Qinghuang twitched his lips and replied, "Come back at this time tomorrow."

Three years later, the old man had become a seasoned expert and even dared to steal things from the 749th Bureau and bring them home.

Retracting her spiritual sense, she looked at the small time field in front of her, thoughtfully.

Perhaps, we can set up such a testing site in the Huo family first?

Let family members adapt to the time difference in advance?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Huo Qinghuang immediately took action.

She peeled this area off from the cave and compressed it into a crystal clear bead.

Silver light flowed inside the bead, and grass could be vaguely seen swaying inside.

"You can try it in the training room."

She whispered to herself, and her figure gradually faded out of the Shenhuang Cave.
