After exiting the cave, Taoist Baopu looked back at the place that had held his hopes for over a month, and the frustration washed over him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Zhou Xi's death had not only shattered all his efforts over the past month, but had also cost him many precious medicinal herbs. Most importantly, Baopu was a man of superstition. His biggest concern: his plan to possess someone else's body had been sparked by Zhou Xi. Did Zhou Xi's death foreshadow the failure of this plan?
Thinking of this, Taoist Baopu felt that he was so furious that he had nowhere to vent. After letting out a long roar towards the sky, he put away the restrictions outside the cave, and exhaled the spiritual energy from his palm. The entire cave collapsed due to the shock of the spiritual energy released by Taoist Baopu.
Even after the cave collapsed, Taoist Baopu was still furious. He stretched out his arms and flew towards Xiaoyao Peak. He wanted to find Lingyun to find out what this Xiuzhu was up to. Was she a spy or did she have someone close to her? How dare she touch the thing Baopu cherished the most?
Only after Baopu Taoist left did Chaos Pearl emerge from the collapsed ruins. Baopu Taoist had just suddenly destroyed the cave, and Chaos Pearl was following behind him. Unprepared, it was choked by the dust, its head and face covered in dust, and it almost revealed its true form.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh! This thief old Taoist is a lunatic." Chaos Pearl cursed.
"That's right, destroying other people's things when you're angry is a bad habit, it needs to be treated!" Xiaoyu was also unhappy. This cave was where Zhou Xi lived. In Xiaoyu's mind, Zhou Xi was under Zhou Yuanyuan's protection. Naturally, the Chaos Pearl automatically registered Zhou Xi's residence under Zhou Yuanyuan's name. In Xiaoyu's mind, the destruction of Zhou Xi's cave by Baopu Taoist was no different from destroying Zhou Yuanyuan's things.
"Yeah, yeah! And he's completely brainless. He caught someone and smacked them to death without even asking a single question. He's gone crazy and destroyed other people's property without a word. How despicable!" Seeing that Xiaoyu also disliked Baopu Taoist, Chaos Pearl's complaints intensified. The dust just now was so strong that Chaos Pearl had barely managed to hold back a sneeze, and naturally, he disliked Baopu Taoist very much.
"Alright, Xiaoyuzhuzhu, let's forget about that crazy Taoist priest and go check on Brother Ziqing first." Zhou Yuanyuan's heart had already flown to Wen Ziqing's courtyard. After witnessing the madness of Baopu Taoist, Zhou Yuanyuan was terrified that he might also build a secret room under Wen Ziqing's courtyard for physical training. After witnessing Zhou Xi's pain, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want Wen Ziqing to suffer the same pain. Until she knew Wen Ziqing was safe, Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little uneasy.
"Okay, Master!" Zhou Yuanyuan said, and Chaos Pearl swallowed all its dissatisfaction. It could only try to float towards Wen Ziqing's yard.
The feeling of having an outsider in the trial world made Chaos Pearl feel a little heavy.
"Master, can you please..." Chaos Pearl hadn't finished speaking when Xiaoyu also spoke up: "Pearl Pearl, do your job obediently."
Zhou Yuanyuan was unaware of the Chaos Pearl's subtle intentions, but Xiaoyu was well aware. The Chaos Pearl was displeased because Zhou Yuanyuan had placed Zhou Xi in its trial world. As a spiritual treasure, they could share their possessions with their masters, but only between the master and the master's possessions. Just like the Chaos Pearl's trial world, no matter how long Zhou Yuanyuan stayed there, the impact on the Chaos Pearl was negligible.
But Zhou Xi was different. He didn't acknowledge Zhou Yuanyuan as his master, and so he had no connection to the Chaos Pearl. Every day Zhou Xi spent in the Trial World increased the Chaos Pearl's energy consumption exponentially. After a short while, the Chaos Pearl felt its energy draining too quickly, and it was about to persuade Zhou Yuanyuan to "take" Zhou Xi out.
Xiaoyu interrupted Chaos Pearl at the right moment. Xiaoyu knew Zhou Xi's importance in Zhou Yuanyuan's heart was on par with General Zhou's. Zhou Xi had served General Zhou at his side for decades, and Zhou Yuanyuan's family was deeply grateful to him.
Worried about Zhou Xi's safety, Zhou Yuanyuan temporarily "deposited" him in the Chaos Pearl's trial world. After all, Zhou Xi was only a novice Qi cultivator. In the secret realm, even a seven or eight-year-old child might be much more powerful than Zhou Xi.
Xiaoyu was worried about Zhou Yuanyuan being embarrassed. After all, if the Chaos Pearl revealed the energy issue, Zhou Yuanyuan would definitely force Zhou Xi out of the trial space. If they encountered a powerful cultivator, Zhou Yuanyuan would have to focus on protecting Zhou Xi, which would be a bleak outcome.
After Xiaoyu spoke, Chaos Pearl didn't dare to say anything else and gave up the idea of secretly throwing Zhou Xi away.
Zhou Yuanyuan had no idea that her two spiritual treasures had such a secret communication. Her mind was completely occupied by Wen Ziqing at the moment.
The Chaos Pearl floated in front of Wen Ziqing's window. Zhou Yuanyuan was standing at the "window", staring blankly at Wen Ziqing who was sitting cross-legged and practicing inside.
After a few days, Wen Ziqing had lost some weight, but Zhou Yuanyuan was happy to see him working hard on his cultivation.
Zhou Yuanyuan had known Wen Ziqing for so many years, yet she had never known of his spiritual roots. If she had known, she might have taken him on a cultivation journey long ago. After all, the path of cultivating immortality was too lonely, and having someone as familiar as Wen Ziqing by her side made Zhou Yuanyuan feel much more at ease.
Wen Ziqing was cultivating in his room. With his eyes tightly closed, he could see a riot of colorful spiritual energy floating in the air. He carefully captured the red spiritual energy and drew it into his body. Wen Ziqing possessed a natural fire element, and the red fire energy in the air was his most compatible element. After circulating through Wen Ziqing's meridians for a period of time, this fire energy was refined into a pure stream of fire energy, which resided in his dantian.
Looking at the pitifully few four or five strands of spiritual energy in his dantian, Wen Ziqing was not discouraged. He just captured, refined, refined, and captured over and over again.
He opened his eyes only after he completed another big cycle.
Wen Ziqing stood up and performed a round of military boxing. He felt that his skills had improved significantly compared to three days ago. It seemed that the training method taught to him by Taoist Baopu was indeed effective.
Wen Ziqing sat cross-legged again, ready to start another round of practice.
"Brother Ziqing." A crisp voice addressed Wen Ziqing.
"Yuanyuan?" Wen Ziqing looked at the empty bedroom, a little surprised. Wen Ziqing was sure that he had heard Zhou Yuanyuan's voice just now.
"Brother Ziqing, I'm here." Zhou Yuanyuan came out of the trial world and stood in front of Wen Ziqing in a coquettish manner.
"Yuanyuan, why are you here? It's dangerous here, go back quickly." When Wen Ziqing saw Zhou Yuanyuan, a light flashed in his eyes, and then dimmed.
First set a small goal, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju mobile version reading website:
