Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

The long sword was sheathed, and the giant beast collapsed. Zhuge Qing took a long breath, slowly held his forehead and sat down.

Retreat is so tiring...

This giant beast was an evil spirit beast that Zhuge Qing almost lost. Fortunately, Liu Kuang was nearby at the time and rescued Zhuge Qing. And now, she also wants to return to Qingyun Peak.

Back to the pure, comfortable place without any clutter...

Isn’t it my Qingyun Peak?
The pink, tender, cute, soft mushroom was slender and elegant, holding a crossbow that looked like Cupid's armor-piercing bow, and its heart-shaped eyes made people fall in love with it. The elegant mushroom swayed back and forth, looking at Zhuge Qing with a smile.

The wild pea shooter has mouths all over its body, and each mouth has spiritual energy condensed in it. It wears a cloak, and is as proud as Zhou Li who went to the Imperial College, and its eyes are full of clear stupidity.

Zhuge Qing stood up blankly, and then he saw the golden tall nut flying in the sky with vines. The golden nut continued to emit a strong fairy aura, which made people feel relaxed and happy. And following it was the Queen Sunflower, which collected sunlight with a sunny smile, and continuously provided sunlight for the endless blue cacti on the ground.

No.

Dude.

Where is my Qingyun Peak?
Zhuge Qing's mind was like a mess at this moment, and she had no idea what was going on. She did have some impression of these plants, after all, Zhou Li had shown her a few before, but none of them were the same?
What are these things?
"Master, are you awake?"

Zhou Li carried a pea cannon and ran to Zhuge Qing happily, "Am I awesome?"

"Ah, cow."

Zhuge Qing answered blankly. She looked at the terrifying pea cannon on Zhou Li's shoulder with confusion in her eyes. "Zhou Li, what is this..."

"I just learned some new Taoism."

Zhou Li touched the head of the pea cannon and introduced it, "This is a pea cannon. It can shoot pea seeds with high damage over a large area. If the pea seeds do not hit anyone, they will take root and sprout in the ground. Then, they will be stimulated by the sun to become pea shooters and continue to attack the enemy. I tried it and found that ordinary third-level spiritual masters are no match for it."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Li added: "Not unusual either."

Zhuge Qing didn't know what to say at this moment. According to common sense, her apprentice should be praised for making a good thing. But Zhou Li's things were so abstract that she couldn't understand them. After a long silence, Zhuge Qing finally said the first complete sentence.

"Zhou Li, how long have I been in seclusion?"

Zhuge Qing asked.

"Twenty-two days, about right."

Zhou Li calculated and said to Zhuge Qing, "Two days ago, I went to Tang Wan's yard to check the time and stole two kilograms of fruits, three kilograms of vegetables, ten kilograms of dried meat, three kilograms of pickles, and half a kilogram of sesame oil. It was almost within twenty-two days."

It's really convenient for you to take advantage of the opportunity.

Zhuge Qing took a short breath and calmed down her stunned heart. She looked at the strange and bizarre plants all over the mountain and asked, "Disciple, did you make all these?"

"hold head high."

Zhou Li nodded and said, "I have been studying hybrid plants these days. With the guidance of Elder Su Shu, the planting progress of these hybrid plants has advanced by leaps and bounds, which is why we have the grand scene of hybrid plants all over the mountains today."

Zhuge Qing was speechless for a moment. After a long while, she took a deep breath and slowly said, "So, you have completed the retreat this month?"

Zhuge Qing gave Zhou Li an assignment before the retreat, which was to let him experience the retreat himself, in order to make Zhou Li accept this form of retreat. According to her estimation, Zhou Li's first retreat would take at least a full month, and she would definitely wake up earlier. But according to what Zhou Li said, he didn't have time to retreat at all.

"Close."

Zhou Li took out the Return Jade and handed it to Zhuge Qing honestly, "It took two days."

Two days...
Zhuge Qing now seriously suspected that Zhou Li was indeed in seclusion, but the means he used to defeat the enemy during his seclusion were also dishonorable. But she didn't want to say more, after all, no matter how dishonorable it was, it was still a means. There are not many one-on-one fair and open competitions in the world of immortal cultivation, so it's not impossible to sprinkle some lime on the immortal world.

"Disciple, you... are in seclusion..."

Zhuge Qing wanted to say something tactfully, but she couldn't. She could only pat Zhou Li on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Close your eyes again."

"what?"

Zhou Li was stunned.

"It should be some other reasons. The enemies you faced during this retreat were not very strong. I am not sure what happened exactly. We have not yet fully studied the characteristics of the Guitu Jade. The immortal energy in your body increased this time..."

Zhuge Qing probed the immortal energy in Zhou Li's body, frowned, and said in astonishment:

"No increase?"

Yes, not at all.

If performing a skill on a daily basis can increase one thousandth of the immortal energy, then retreating can increase it by one percent. But increasing the immortal energy is not the most important function of retreating. In fact, the purpose of most people's retreat is to break through the calmness and consolidate the immortal energy in their body.

But Zhou Li's fairy spirit...
There was no growth at all, as if he had just watched a movie in a secluded world, and the progress bar was stuck.

what's the situation?
When this happened, Zhou Li didn't feel anything, but Zhuge Qing became anxious.

This won't do. Zhou Li is the only disciple I personally teach and he is also my best friend. If he fails to improve his spiritual energy during seclusion, it will be a big problem.

Immediately, Zhuge Qing anxiously held Zhou Li down and said, "Disciple, sit down."

Zhou Li sat cross-legged on the ground obediently. The pure and charming Sagittarius Mushroom beside him looked at Zhou Li, her peach blossom eyes full of temptation and curiosity.

Zhuge Qing ignored the charming shooter mushroom beside him, but walked to Zhou Li, stretched out his hand, and put it on his shoulder. Then Zhuge Qing summoned a piece of homecoming jade, placed it between the two of them, and said seriously:
"Disciple, I am going to open a new small world for retreat. The enemies in this small world may be stronger. You try to fight them first. If it doesn't work, I will take action."

According to the experience of Longhu Mountain over the years, the stronger the enemy faced during the retreat, the more difficult the battle, the more the amount of immortal energy will be improved. The enemy in retreat is often the person who occupies the most in the retreater's heart, and may even be the retreater's parents. However, this will make it difficult for the retreater to face powerful enemies and improve himself significantly.

The old Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain solved this problem. He relied on his years of practice to perfectly find a wonderful bug.

The old and the new, retreat together.

A novice can’t beat him, but an expert can.

This method, affectionately called "Human Connection Retreat" by Longhu Mountain, allows the retreater to face a very powerful enemy while being protected by a strong person. But this is also risky. The risk is that once the enemy kills the two retreaters in retreat, it will cause a strong soul shock to the strong retreater, and may even cause his cultivation to regress. It can be said that the masters of Longhu Mountain rarely let their disciples take a "Human Connection Retreat" unless it is absolutely necessary.

But Zhuge Qing was different. On the one hand, she was confident that she would still be able to defeat the enemy she faced. On the other hand, she was really anxious. She was rarely anxious.

Zhuge Qing rarely felt anxious, and rarely became anxious about a thing. But this time, she was really worried about Zhou Li's ineffective retreat. Without giving Zhou Li a chance to refuse, Zhuge Qing grabbed Zhou Li's wrist and urged his immortal energy. In an instant, the two of them saw black.

familiar···

Oh, it really is a familiar ceiling this time.

Zhou Li slowly opened his eyes, looked at the familiar ceiling, and a strange look appeared on his face.

Why are you here?

He sat up from the bed, got out of bed, and skillfully took a set of clothes from the shelf beside him and put them on. Zhou Li half-knelt beside the bed, opened the secret compartment with ease, put a bunch of strange things in his arms, then stood up and looked around.

Not much has changed...
Looking at the familiar peach blossom wind chimes by the window and the An Xin knot beside it, Zhou Li's eyes flashed with longing.

I feel a little homesick.

Pushing open the door and looking at the familiar staircase, Zhou Li felt relieved. He walked up the stairs, left the second floor, and came to the first floor with a counter and a round table.

None are here.

The counter was empty, and the round table was empty of dishes and chopsticks. Everything was ordinary, but a little different from what Zhou Li remembered. He walked to the door, pushed open the wooden door, and stepped on the sand on the street.

Turning around and looking at the plaque that said "Narrative access", Zhou Li was a little confused for a moment.

Where is my sister?
When is this the time when everything is accessible?
Zhou Li remembered that he opened Nadutong about five years ago. The layout of the upper floor has been changing all the time. According to his observation, it should be a time node within a year.

But...why is there no one?

"They make up stories about ghosts and gods, and rotten flesh and bones about human hearts. Don't ask, don't ask. If you ask..."

The strange sound of bells, the sound of flesh rubbing against each other, and the strange ballad that made people feel malicious. Zhou Li slowly turned his head and saw the zombie with blood and flesh boiling all over his body.

And the zombies behind him.

“A lot…”

Zhou Li faced Gui Daozi, the weird and weird man holding the death banner. He said with a hint of coldness, "If you really succeed, I'm afraid Beiliang will be full of zombies like it is now."

"You can ask me to pay you for Resident Evil 10."

The moment Zhou Li finished speaking, the Death Banner in Gui Daozi's hand moved, and several zombies rushed towards Zhou Li from all directions in an instant, their sharp claws full of corpse energy, as if they wanted to tear Zhou Li's body apart.

Zhou Li's mind was moved. He was about to rush forward, but suddenly stopped.

Zhuge Qing, who was holding a whisk on the eaves and staring intently, frowned slightly, not knowing what Zhou Li was doing. He was rummaging around in his arms, and just when the nearest zombie was about to touch Zhou Li, he moved.

A tall nut with a blue mushroom head suddenly emerged from in front of him. It first knocked a zombie away with its sharp head, and then spit out cold spikes, which directly pierced the two zombies in front of it.

plant?

Zhuge Qing was stunned for a moment.

Enjoy the hybrid version!
Zhou Li became excited.

He took out a small device he made. The function of the device was very simple. It was to infuse the plant seeds he had already classified with immortal energy and spiritual energy, and then release them. If you ignore the seeds inside, this thing is just an ordinary device with nothing special. But once it is filled with hybrid plant seeds...

That would be fun.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Li hooked his finger and a golden seed splashed out. At the same time, several zombies attacked from both sides, trying to bypass the Ice Tall Nut and attack Zhou Li.

thump.

There was a muffled sound first, and then a little zombie appeared beside Zhou Li. He hooked his finger again, and two sunflowers with cat ears suddenly emerged, and their tails began to shoot out needles, piercing the two zombies.

so cute.

Zhuge Qing looked at the two cats and sunflowers calmly and gave a calm evaluation.

I'll ask my apprentice for one later.

Zhuge Qing looked at Zhou Li, and the shape of the Eight Diagrams appeared in her eyes. Suddenly, she showed some worry, because she noticed that Zhou Li's immortal spirit and two qi were consumed too much at this time. Activating these plants consumed a lot, and Zhou Li could no longer bear it.
At this moment, Gui Daozi's death flag moved, and a huge stitched zombie suddenly emerged and rushed towards Zhou Li frantically. Just as the Ice Nut was about to stop the opponent, Zhou Li used his immortal energy to retract it into a seed and sucked it into the device. At the same time, the small taro that was planted before also suddenly emerged, and a sunny potato mine greeted the stitched zombie.

boom! ! ! !

While blasting the stitched zombies apart, a warm breath also flowed into Zhou Li's body. The Sunshine Potato Thunder decomposed the zombies and turned them into immortal energy, which was injected into its owner's body, completing his mission.

Zhou Li, who had recovered some of his spiritual energy, took a step back and dodged a sneak attack from a skinny zombie. Then, he took out a Sunshine Cherry Bomb and stuffed it directly into the zombie's mouth, then kicked it hard and sent it to Gui Daozi's side.

Light!!!
There was another explosion. Gui Daozi dodged quickly and did not suffer much damage, but the younger brothers around him were all in trouble. They were directly blown into balls of immortal energy and spiritual energy by the explosion, which were instantly recovered by Zhou Li.

In an instant, the immortal spirit and energy in Zhou Li's body expanded too much.

not good.

Zhuge Qing's heart sank. If Zhou Li didn't quickly use up his extra spiritual energy, he would most likely have his energy reversed and would be temporarily unable to use any spiritual techniques. And as far as she knew, Zhou Li hadn't learned any spiritual techniques that consumed a lot of energy yet. There was a high probability that Zhou Li would soon be unable to activate his spiritual energy.

Just when Zhuge Qing was ready to rescue Zhou Li, Zhou Li took action.

An elegant figure, a beautiful face, and a body so white that it makes people dizzy.

The beautiful white mushroom held a crossbow, and the love on the crossbow and the love in her eyes reflected each other. At this moment, Gui Daozi, who had been silent and wanted to kill Zhou Li, finally spoke.

"It's you again ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" (End of chapter)
