If the thing on the big rock at the top of the mountain made Xiao Chen a little disappointed, and he felt that it was not the "great opportunity" that the old fortune teller had mentioned, then the bamboo forest, flowers and spiritual mist at the bottom of the cliff could be called "great opportunity".

And the pond in front of me, no, it can no longer be called a pond, but a spiritual pond!

The spiritual liquid in the spiritual pond before him was enough to shock the entire ancient martial arts world. Even Xiao Chen, who had been knowledgeable since childhood and had even wiped his butt with paper with top-level martial arts techniques written on it, was extremely excited.

He had never dared to imagine before how rich the spiritual energy had to be to form liquid... At least, he had never heard of it!

However, he occasionally heard a drunken old fortuneteller mention "spiritual energy turning into liquid". At that time, the old fortuneteller was holding a wine glass, sitting under the moonlight, with a sense of sadness that he was born at the wrong time.

He said that according to records in ancient books, the earth in the past, before entering the Dharma-Ending Age, was very rich in spiritual energy. One year of cultivation was equivalent to five or even ten years of cultivation now!

Of course, even at that time, there was very little spiritual liquid, and only those top places had spiritual springs!

"Could it be that there is a spiritual spring beneath this spiritual pond? An endless supply of spiritual fluid gushing out from below?"

Xiao Chen squatted in front of the spiritual pond and made a guess based on what the old fortune teller said.

He really wanted to jump into the spiritual pond to see what was underneath.

If there were a spiritual spring that could continuously gush out spiritual liquid, that would be truly rich!

When the time comes, he will not go anywhere else and will just practice in seclusion here!

It won’t take long. After a year, when he comes out of seclusion, I estimate he will be able to defeat a master of Hua Jin!

Even if he has reached the Great Perfection of Hua Jin, he is not afraid!

"If the spiritual fluid had not been replenished continuously, this spiritual pond would have dried up long ago..."

Xiao Chen pondered and hesitated for a moment, then bent down, reached out and scooped up a handful of spiritual liquid, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. There seemed to be a faint fragrance, which smelled very good.

Then, he felt refreshed and his mind felt refreshed.

This made him very excited. The effect of this spiritual liquid was too great, right?

Can just smelling it refresh your mind?

Gurgle gurgle!

Xiao Chen thought about it, then drank the spiritual liquid in his palm in big gulps.

As the spiritual liquid entered the stomach, unlike drinking a powerful potion, there was no hot feeling, but instead a cool feeling arose.

“It tastes pretty good…”

Xiao Chen licked the corner of his mouth, scooped up two more handfuls, drank them in big gulps, then sat cross-legged beside the spirit pond and practiced his ancient martial arts skills.

After a few seconds, he could clearly feel that the spiritual liquid turned into rich spiritual energy, which continuously repaired his injuries while also flowing along his meridians and entering his dantian!

His cultivation was also noticeably increasing slowly.

You know, the higher the realm, the harder it is to improve your cultivation!

In the outside world, it is rare to feel obvious growth. If you can make a slight progress after practicing for a night, it is already a rare achievement.

Soon, he was immersed in the state of cultivation and gradually became selfless, as if the whole world had disappeared.

Just as he was immersed in it, the Xuanyuan Sword began to tremble slightly, emitting a cold dark golden light.

Then, the bone ring on his neck also emitted a soft light, forming a cocoon of light that wrapped him up.

At the same time, a vortex formed with the bone ring as the center, and the rich spiritual energy around it all poured into the bone ring and was absorbed by it!

As the bone ring absorbed spiritual energy, the Xuanyuan Sword and even the Nine Flame Mysterious Needle in Xiao Chen's pocket also formed a suction force and began to absorb it crazily!

For a moment, the spiritual energy in the cave rushed towards Xiao Chen.

Most of it was absorbed by the bone ring, Xuanyuan Sword and Nine Flame Needle, and a small part was absorbed by Xiao Chen.

In addition to the few gulps he drank, the endless supply of spiritual energy also made his circulation faster...

Time passes by every second.

One hour passed, two hours passed...

Xiao Chen was completely immersed in cultivation and was unaware of the passage of time.

Although it is not as exaggerated as "There is no year in the mountains, and you don't know the years when the cold ends", but in the blink of an eye, several hours have passed.

It's dawn in the world outside.

Naga, the hiding place of Xiao Chen and others.

"Devo, when can we leave here?"

Feng Manlou looked at Devo and asked.

"Everything has been arranged over there, but there are Hubert's men around us... If we want to leave quietly, we have to deal with them."

Devo said to Feng Manlou.

"This is easy, just leave it to me."

Feng Manlou nodded and looked at the bright sky.

"I don't know, how is Brother Xiao now?"

Hearing Feng Manlou's words, Devo's face turned pale. His life was tied to Xiao Chen's.

If anything happened to Xiao Chen, he would not survive!

Thinking of this, he prayed to all the gods he could, including God, Allah, and even the 'Tathagata Buddha' that Bai Ye mentioned.

"Don't worry, Brother Chen will be fine. I feel like he's doing fine now."

Bai Ye looked at Fengmanlou and said seriously.

"Well, I hope so."

Feng Manlou nodded, he also believed in Xiao Chen's luck and strength.

"Devo, since they are ready, let's leave here as soon as possible... We can't trust Eugene. If the werewolves find Eugene, they will definitely find this place!"

Bai Ye looked at Devo and said slowly.

Although when he was with Xiao Chen, he only asked "what to do", it was because he was lazy. With Xiao Chen around, he didn't need to worry about these things.

Now that Xiao Chen is gone, he can no longer be lazy and naturally has to use his brain.

He is too lazy to use it, not that he is brainless!

So, after he came back, the first thing he did was to discuss with Huoshen, Fengmanlou and others to leave here as soon as possible!

When he finished his analysis, Huo Shen, Feng Man Lou and even Nangong Ling all looked at him with surprised eyes, as if to say... how did this idiot suddenly get it!

Bai Ye noticed their looks and was speechless, but he was too lazy to explain.

In fact, when Xiao Chen was here, he asked Devo to prepare for this matter.

He didn't completely trust Eugene, and if something really happened, he would need a new hiding place.

Devo also looked in several places, but even Hubert had a hard time finding it.

Now, they were going to the most secret place among them.

A few minutes later, Feng Manlou and Devo left.

"Bai Ye, if we leave and Xiao Chen comes back and we can't find him, what should we do?"

Nangong Ling looked at Bai Ye and asked.

"We take turns staying nearby. When Brother Chen comes back, he will definitely see it... Otherwise, I will leave clues to let him know that we are safe and leave for the time being."

Bai Ye thought about it and said.

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Nangong Ling nodded: "Are you sure... he's okay?"

"Believe me."

Bai Ye said seriously.

Nangong Ling looked at Bai Ye and stopped talking.

Zhuge Qingxi and Black Widow next to them also glanced at Bai Ye.

The former had red eyes. She had shed a lot of tears since Xiao Chen disappeared.

About ten minutes later, Feng Manlou and Devo came back.

"Let's get ready to go."

"Um."

Bai Ye and others had already made preparations. They got into two cars and left their residence.

Before leaving, Bai Ye wrote a few sentences in Chinese characters in several places. They didn't look very fluent and even a little confusing.

"What's the meaning?"

Kagami asked curiously.

"I don't know either."

Bai Ye shook his head.

"Ah? You don't know either?"

Vulcan was stunned.

"Well, it doesn't matter what I write. What matters is that Brother Chen knows my handwriting. When he sees the Chinese characters, he will know that we are safe."

Bai Ye nodded.

"This not only conveys the message that we are safe, but also ensures that no one else will find any clues."

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Huo Shen looked at Bai Ye and said, "I misunderstood you. I always thought... that you were stupid."

"You have no brains."

Bai Ye rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Ten minutes later, the two cars drove to the foot of a mountain and turned a corner, where a somewhat shabby small manor appeared.

"What is this place?"

Bai Ye took a few looks and although it was not as hidden as the place where he saw Eugene last time, it was still pretty good.

"The owner of this manor left Naga three years ago and went abroad... He originally planned to sell this property, but because it is a bit remote, he didn't sell it! My brother is a real estate agent, and he has the key, so I'll use it temporarily..."

Devo explained to Bai Ye and the others.

"Nothing else matters, safety is all that matters... Can you hide it from Hubert?"

Bai Ye nodded and asked.

"No problem. This property is not registered, so it's not easy for Hubert to check it! Besides, the current Hubert is no longer the same Hubert as before, and his strength has been severely damaged."

DeVoe nodded.

"Then everyone will stay here temporarily and wait for news from Brother Chen."

When Bai Ye said this, he thought of something and looked at Feng Manlou.

"Brother Feng, what did you do to Hubert's people?"

"Knocked out."

"Last night, Eugene also sent warships to Gata Island. I heard that they suffered heavy losses... Let's find a time to go meet him! If we want to find Brother Chen, we still need his help."

"good."

Just as Bai Ye and the others packed up and moved into their new place, Xiao Chen in the cave slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, whether it was the bone ring, the Xuanyuan sword or the Nine Flames Needle, they had all returned to their usual appearance.

However, what is invisible to the naked eye is that they all seem to have changed slightly.

"I feel the bottleneck. I am only one step away from entering a new realm and achieving the Great Perfection of Dark Energy!"

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he talked to himself excitedly.

If he had practiced normally under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for him to reach the state of great perfection within a year or two!

It can even be said that one or two years is already very short. Some people are at the peak of the late stage of Dark Energy and cannot take that step even after several years!

It can be said that there are two hurdles before the transformation of strength. One is the great perfection, and the other is entering a new realm after the great perfection!

"It should have been not long before my cultivation base increased so much..."

Xiao Chen couldn't hide his surprise. He looked at his watch and was stunned.

"A few hours? That's too fast, isn't it? It's daybreak outside. I wonder how Xiaobai and the others are doing."

Chapter 1, continue to update ~

I went to see a doctor, and he said there was nothing serious wrong with me, just an occupational disease caused by long periods of sitting, and lumbar muscle strain. He prescribed some plasters and recommended that I go for massage regularly...

I'm thinking about one thing, should I go to the hospital for a massage, or something else?
