Li Xuanzu wasn't incapable of calming down; on the contrary, he greatly enjoyed a quiet atmosphere.

Otherwise, how could he have been isolated from the world for hundreds of years in a single seclusion?

He's doing this now because there's nothing meaningful for him to do after things have quieted down.

In seclusion and cultivation, breaking through the bottlenecks little by little, time always slips away unnoticed.

Going to kill a few zombies would be better than sitting here doing nothing.

I can concentrate on my work, but I can't stand having nothing to do.

However, Li Xuanzu changed his mind, grabbed a bag of spirit cores, sat on the truck, and did something unknown.

It wasn't until evening, when Fu Yu was carried back by Ouyang Ningxue, that Li Xuanzu realized time had passed.

Dahei had already returned to the truck, but seeing that Li Xuanzu was busy, he didn't disturb him.

"Ah~ I'm exhausted, Sister Ouyang, the intensity of your training is beyond human endurance." Fu Yu couldn't even lift her head, but she kept chattering.

“I’ve told you before not to rush things. Martial arts training is a gradual process. You’ve only just started learning martial arts, so take a good rest,” Ouyang Ningxue said helplessly, supporting herself on Fu Yu’s arm.

Qian Li stood to the side, suppressing a laugh, unaware of what had happened.

Dinner was simple: bread, some dried meat, and water. Li Xuanzu also prepared some milk for Qian Li.

Although Li Xuanzu himself did not drink these things, he asked Huang Lao to prepare them for him because Qian Li was still young and growing.

However, if Fu Yu tells Li Xuanzu that she wants to eat snacks, Li Xuanzu will probably give her a good beating on the head.

This is differential treatment.

After dinner, everyone went to rest in the car.

Li Xuanzu also took out several hundred second-tier spirit cores that the Great Black Energy could absorb.

"Let's absorb it for now and see if we can break through to the fifth rank in the next few days."

Hearing this, Dahei was very moved, but Li Xuanzu's next words made it want to curse.

"It would be best to have a clone, that would be more convenient."

It's all an illusion.

... ...

The next day, Li Xuanzu was still sitting in the corner of the stadium, fiddling with something.

Just as Dahei was about to wake Fu Yu, he was shocked to see Li Xuanzu.

Li Xuanzu has been working on that pile of spirit cores since it came back yesterday, and now more than half of the spirit cores in that sack are gone.

Dahei assumed that Li Xuanzu was absorbing the spirit core, so he ignored it and went to find Fu Yu.

Qian Li and Ouyang Ningxue also got up, awakened by Fu Yu's scream.

"Girl, why are you doing this to yourself? You can't even get up, so why do you insist on getting up early?" After waking Fu Yu up for several days in a row, Dahei finally voiced his question.

"What do you know? This is called a healthy lifestyle, going to bed early and waking up early." Fu Yu is always particularly awake after being woken up by Dahei.

"Whatever you want." Big Black sighed, and the black mist mimicked a human head-shaking motion.

The group wanted to offer Li Xuanzu something to eat, but he refused.

Qian Li walked over to him with a compressed biscuit and a bottle of water, still somewhat worried.

"Brother, have something to eat. You didn't eat anything yesterday."

Li Xuanzu only glanced at Qian Li and did not take the item.

"Almost there, just a moment." Li Xuanzu quickened his pace.

Qian Li then noticed that the sack next to Li Xuanzu was almost empty, and he was holding a spirit core in his hand.

That spirit core was different from ordinary second-tier spirit cores; judging from its size, it was already considered a third-tier spirit core.

However, its appearance and the light it exudes are not as dazzling as that of a third-tier spirit core.

"What is this?" Fu Yu curiously leaned closer.

"You've come at the perfect time." Li Xuanzu had been looking at Qian Li with some hesitation, but when he saw Fu Yu arrive, he swiftly stuffed the spirit core in his hand into her mouth.

"You... um." Fu Yu looked at Li Xuanzu in horror, but his mouth was covered tightly by him.

"Swallow it, would I possibly cheat you?" Li Xuanzu appeared behind Fu Yu at some point.

After Fu Yu finally managed to bite and swallow the spirit core in her mouth, she remembered something and glared angrily at Li Xuanzu.

"Hey! Can't you be a little gentler? Can't you just talk nicely? Why do you have to be so scary, like poison?" Fu Yu savored the taste from earlier; it was a little sweet, but she couldn't taste anything else.

"I'm sorry, but the main problem is that I don't even dare to eat this stuff myself." It has to be said that Li Xuanzu and his group all share a common virtue: honesty.

"You're too scared to eat it and give it to me? I'll strangle you!" Fu Yu felt a little better after hearing Li Xuanzu's apology.

As a result, Li Xuanzu's words, "I don't even dare to eat it myself," immediately enraged her, and she stepped forward as if she wanted to fight Li Xuanzu to the death.

She grabbed Li Xuanzu by the shoulders and shook him violently for a long time, as if she wanted to shake his brains until they were completely disintegrated.

Fu Yu only let go of Li Xuanzu's hand when Li Xuanzu stood still and staggered.

Something was starting to go wrong with her.
