Kong Ju went into seclusion, preparing to attack the four realms of Yanglun.

Even Shangguan Yuzhou, who always liked to hang out outside the gate and cause trouble, stopped to act quietly.

Together with Kong Ju, he secluded himself in an underground cave and tried to reach the fifth level of Yanglun.

There is no time in cultivation.

Two months, for the disciples of Cangwu Sect, was just a short sixty sunrises and sunsets.

The only change might be that those sword-cultivating disciples who were annoyed by Shangguan Yuzhou no longer had to fly into a rage.

It's a rare opportunity to enjoy some relatively peaceful time.

Lingnong was somewhat helpless about Kong Ju's retreat.

There are problems with insect pests in the fields every day, but fortunately, they are not as serious as the marrow-eating insects, and the spiritual farmers can barely cope with them.

If the situation is really beyond handling, then seek help from other disciples who have practiced the Frost-Reducing and Wheel-Nourishing Sutra.

It did bring some benefits to the disciples.

Time flies.

It has been exactly two months since the two of them went into seclusion.

Boom! The underground cave that was blocked by the Red Cloud Formation suddenly opened.

Kong Ju's slender figure walked out of the cave slowly. He looked around and saw the mountains and fields outside the cave covered in silver and the sharp cold wind blowing past.

Kong Ju's eyes looked a little dazed.

"It's winter already."

This is the first time Kong Ju has been in seclusion for such a long time.

Feeling the chill invading from all directions, Kong Ju squinted his eyes with great enjoyment and took several deep breaths of cool air, the icy feeling still lingering in his lungs.

Because he practiced the Frost-Reducing and Nourishing Wheel Sutra, he was not very resistant to the cold.

After closing his eyes for a long time, Kong Ju looked back at the cave, and then reopened the Red Cloud Formation.

Shangguan Yuzhou is still in seclusion in there, so don't let anyone disturb him.

In fact, a month and a half ago, Kong Ju had successfully broken through to the fourth level of Yanglun.

The rest of the time is used to consolidate one's cultivation.

After a month and a half, I had made some progress based on the four realms of Yanglun.

The reason why he didn't come out was to protect Shangguan Yuzhou.

This kid has a lot of enemies, and he's afraid that when he's in seclusion, someone might come and disturb him from breaking through.

But after two months, Shangguan Yuzhou still had no breakthrough.

Kong Ju had to come out of seclusion because there was only one day left before the departure for Frost Moon Altar.

"May you wish good luck to yourself." After saying this, Kong Ju disappeared at the entrance of the cave.

After his cultivation broke through the fourth level of Yanglun, Kong Ju's speed also increased. His figure flashed across the snow-covered road, leaving only shallow footprints.

The direction he was heading was not Lingyu Pavilion, but the Refining Pavilion.

After all, Frost Moon Altar is not a safe place. In previous years, there have been bloody incidents involving fights between disciples of the Cangwu Sect and disciples of other sects.

Although cases involving loss of life were rare, Kong Ju did not dare to be careless.

Even though he had broken through the fourth level of Yanglun and completely escaped from the lowest level, he was considered to have reached the middle level of Yanglun.

But that’s not enough.

He had to go to the weapon refining pavilion to choose a magic weapon just in case.

An hour later, Kong Ju walked out of the Equipment Refining Pavilion with a satisfied smile on his face.

Looking closely at his waist, there is a gourd with black and white stripes.

The gourd is only half the size of a palm, tied around the waist with a red rope and is inconspicuous. At first glance, it does not look like a magic weapon, but rather like an ornament.

"I spent fifty spirit crystals to buy a magic weapon. Although it has a single function, it suits my taste."

This gourd is called the 'Wine Gourd'. It has no attack power and its only function is to hold wine.

Even though it is only half the size of a palm, it can’t fill two tanks of water.

The Taoist method practiced by Kong Jue is too dependent on water.

There is a world of difference between the situation with water and the situation without water.

In the previous battle with Jiang Kui, if it had not rained at night, he would have had no chance of defeating him.

This wine gourd just makes up for Kong Jue's shortcomings.

Patting the gourd on his waist, Kong Ju did not delay any longer. He mobilized his spiritual power and rushed straight to Lingyu Pavilion.

Tomorrow is the day to set out for Frost Moon Altar.

Today, many disciples who had accepted the assignment to collect Yue Ning Bing Zhi had already started gathering here early.

They gathered in groups of three or four outside Lingyu Pavilion.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Standing at the front of the team was the enthusiastic senior sister, Sun Feiluan, who was responsible for registering Kong Ju two months ago.

Kong Ji came walking on the snow, carrying a longbow on his back and a palm-sized dark gourd hanging on his waist.

He took a quick glance at the outer disciples gathered outside Lingyu Pavilion and realized that he was the last one to arrive.

Sun Feiluan looked at Kong Jue who was coming slowly with a smile, and said jokingly: "Junior brother Kong, I thought you were not coming."

"I just came out of retreat. I'm sorry to have kept Senior Sister Sun waiting for a long time." Kong Ju stopped and smiled apologetically, "I just came out of retreat and hurried over here."

"Nothing. We'll set off tomorrow. Today is just a sign in." Sun Feiluan waved her hand.

Then she took the names registered in the booklet in her hand and compared them one by one with the names of the disciples gathered in front of her. After confirming that they were correct, she nodded.

"There is no problem with the number of people. There are twelve of us in total. We will set off on time at 5:00 AM tomorrow morning."

"I'll trouble Junior Brother Zheng Gang to lead the team in collecting the Moon Condensing Ice Ganoderma this time. You've been to the Frost Moon Altar for five consecutive years, so you have a wealth of routes and experience."

"Yes!" Zheng Gang seemed a little taciturn. When he heard Sun Feiluan call his name, he simply responded with a single word.

Kong Ju looked at him a few more times. This man seemed to be quite old and his cultivation level was at the sixth level of Yanglun.

In the Cangwu sect, he is considered a junior master in the second tier.

This time it was just a simple collection mission, just leading a team, so Zheng Gang had no problem at all.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. You can arrange the rest yourself." Sun Feiluan returned to Lingyu Pavilion.

Sun Feiluan retreated, but the remaining twelve disciples who had accepted the sect's assignment did not disperse immediately.

Instead, he turned his attention to other people and began to look for his own companions for this trip.

After all, each of the twelve people in this group has their own tasks to do, and they have to separate eventually.

This will make collecting herbs more efficient.

Finding strong teammates can not only provide you with an extra level of security, but also allow you to collect more Moon Condensed Ice Ganoderma.

There will be extra rewards if you exceed the number assigned by the sect.

Kong Ju was indifferent to this scene and just watched coldly.

He always remembered that the real purpose of his trip was to look for opportunities, not some useless Yue Ning Bing Zhi.

It is more convenient for one to move around.

"Let's go!" Kong Ju turned around muttering to himself.

But he had no idea that a pair of bright eyes had been staring at him as soon as he entered Lingyu Pavilion.

Just when Kong Ju was about to turn around and leave.

A petite girl suddenly walked out from the back of the team and grabbed Kong Ju who was about to leave.

"Senior Brother Kong, you are here too!" Zhou Tingyu said with a sly smile, looking straight at Kong Ju.
