Because he was worried about being discovered by Bai Gu Zhenren, he always maintained the appearance of Ma Huai. He didn't even dare to use the escape light to fly high in the sky. He only dared to fly low in the sky, for fear of being discovered and stopped by someone from the righteous or evil paths.
Despite his somewhat trepidation, Su Rui ultimately escaped safely. He flew all the way to the Liu'an Temple area before Ma Huai transformed him back into his youthful form. However, since everyone had already dispersed, he didn't reenter the temple, instead bypassing it and heading directly towards Mount Qingcheng. Continuously speeding through the sky with his escape beam, Su Rui finally reached the skies above Qingxu Town, activated his escape beam, and landed in the tallest manor in the center of town.
"Shanjun, you are finally back. Where is Sister Chijiao?" A clear voice came. Su Rui looked closely and found that it was the little fox demon who stayed in Qingxu Town.
When the little fox demon saw him, he jumped up with joy, like a happy child. Su Rui left in a hurry this time, and later took the red dragon away with him, leaving only him and the little ant to guard the house.
Unlike Suri, she had not established any connection with the little ants and could not communicate with them. Therefore, she was the only one living in this yard.
On the way back, Su Rui was even a little worried about her condition, but when she saw that she was still lively and energetic, and didn't seem depressed or resentful at all, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Well, I'm back! Your sister Chi Jiao is here!"
Su Rui nodded, then carried out the curled-up red dragon.
Seeing the red dragon still slumbering, Su Rui speculated that its current state was due to the upgrade of its flesh and blood from consuming the fruit of the immortal vine. It was estimated that after a while, once her flesh and blood were fully upgraded, her strength would rise again. Her current realm had reached a bottleneck, and she needed to gradually evolve into a true dragon body to achieve a qualitative leap. By achieving this true dragon body and surviving the thunder tribulation, she would achieve immortality and ascend to the Earthly Immortal Realm.
When Su Rui obtained the remains of the mirage dragon, he considered giving this treasure to Chi Jiao to help her transform into a real dragon.
However, since the True Dragon remains were given to him by Bai Gu Zhenren, he hadn't had time to tell Chi Jiao about it. Another reason was that Bai Gu Zhenren had set a trap when handing him the Mirage Dragon remains, nearly making him the target of the True Dragon Clan and the Dragon Clan. He was worried that Bai Gu Zhenren had other tricks up his sleeve. Of course, Chi Jiao was still asleep, so he would have to wait until she woke up to ask for her opinion on the Mirage Dragon remains.
Su Rui did not plan to stay in Qingxu Town for long. After handing the red dragon to the little fox demon, he found the little ant who was building its empire.
This little guy is growing bigger and bigger now. It was originally only the size of a fingernail, but now it has grown even bigger. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell that it is an ant!
"Master, you finally showed up, woo woo..." The little ant cried very sadly, and then said while crying: "Master, I thought you didn't want me anymore. I waited for you for a long time, but you didn't show up. You don't know how lonely and helpless I was without you."
When Su Rui heard what the little ant said, his heart softened.
Ever since this little ant was used by him to experiment with controlling his spiritual energy and awakened its intelligence, it has been following Su Rui faithfully and has become his partner.
Although, most of the time, its role is just to accompany and it can't help much, it still gives Su Rui, who is out there making his way in the world, a little more care and warmth.
Many times, a life of being alone and without any worries is very easy to be destroyed. Many demons or those who fantasize about becoming immortals and choose to kill their relatives for the sake of justice basically have bad endings. Even if they are not punished by heaven, their final destination will inevitably be to become a piece of stone without any emotions.
Su Rui longed to become an immortal, but he didn't want to be a stone immortal. He longed to be a free, unfettered immortal, able to wander the North Sea in the morning and the vast sky in the evening, to move mountains and fill the sea, while also bringing warmth to others. Of course, these were all beautiful goals, but he had no idea what kind of immortal he could become through cultivation.
After chatting with the little ant for a while, Su Rui encouraged it to work hard, expand the Ant Empire's industries, and train more ant soldiers. Then, Su Rui prepared another Qi feast for the little ant, feeding it and the ant generals it had chosen until they were completely full. Then, he took the little fox demon and the red dragon and flew directly to the Golden Whip Cliff, where the Qingcheng Sect's main gate was located.
The scenery of Qingcheng Mountain was as beautiful as ever, and the Golden Whip Cliff, where the Qingcheng Sect was located, hadn't changed much either. If anything, it was the blooming of wildflowers there, and they were still resplendent. Su Rui flew his sword through the caves and back to his own abode. After settling the little fox demon and the red dragon, he flew to Dajiaoping and walked into Xuanmiao Temple with a leisurely pace.
When he walked into the Lingguan Temple, he saw Zhang Beiyang dragging Chen Zhen, a disciple of the Zhushan Sect who Su Rui had captured before entering the temple, and Chen Zhen was hammering and hitting his broken mechanical man!
Zhang Beiyang had returned to Xuanmiao Temple a long time ago, but he didn't seem to have any serious work to do. He was just around some new things all day long. Look, he had been thinking about repairing this mechanical man for so long, and finally he did it.
Chen Zhen, a disciple of Zhushan Sect, had already lost much of his childishness at this time, but he had also become much thinner.
It seems that the days of mining are not easy, otherwise, as a core disciple of Zhushan Sect, it is rare for him to end up in such a situation.
However, Su Rui had already obtained the complete method of refining mechanical men from the elder of Zhushan Sect, and had personally experimented and made several mechanical men. Now, when he looked at the mechanical man that Zhang Beiyang saw, he immediately came up with an idea for repairing it.
Not only did his mechanical man's arm break, but his core was also pierced, making it worthless.
Zhang Beiyang was so engrossed in disassembling the mechanical man that he didn't even notice Su Rui standing beside him for a moment. It wasn't until Su Rui coughed twice that he looked at Su Rui with a look of great surprise.
Su Rui grinned at him and then released several mechanical men he had made. Zhang Beiyang was shocked by the mechanical men he had released and kept circling around them!
Su Rui chuckled again and released the half-refined rattan armor robot from the space. This time, Zhang Beiyang was mesmerized again and couldn't take his eyes off it.
"This... this mechanical man wearing rattan armor is the result of your operation this time?" Zhang Beiyang asked with envy.
