Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel.

Chapter 176: The Supreme Council, Interstellar War

As his contact with Chu Zheng deepened, Nie Longhu gradually began to notice many things that were wrong.

Chu Zheng was not clear about many basic ways of refining Qi, and he had only a vague understanding of the use of some magical powers, relying entirely on his own feelings.

This doesn't look like he came from the orthodox Xuanmen school, nor does he have a master. It's more like someone who accidentally got a method of refining Qi and then started practicing blindly.

But the scary thing is that even if Chu Zheng relies on his intuition, he can use many magical powers effortlessly. Even if he is a little unfamiliar with them at first, after a few days, he will be able to use them effortlessly, and even master them thoroughly and apply them to other situations.

Since most of the questions Chu Zheng asked were fairly basic, Nie Longhu couldn't help but be curious about the extent of Chu Zheng's cultivation.

As far as he knew, in order to incarnate and experience tribulations, one would have to at least return to the void or even reach the state of integration with the Dao before beginning to attempt it. Otherwise, the damage to the origin of the soul would be too great and the loss would outweigh the gain.

But now, from his point of view, Chu Zheng's performance is not at all like that of a cultivator in the Return to Void or Hedao realms.

He had some doubts that Chu Zheng’s original cultivation level might only be at the Spirit Refining Realm or even... lower.

If this is true, then Chu Zheng’s talent is definitely more than what he says.

But now, Nie Longhu was unable to prove the truth of it. Chu Zheng had already reached the late stage of Nascent Soul, and his cultivation was a whole realm higher than his. Just from this point, he could see some clues.

If Chu Zheng is really a lone Qi cultivator with such talent, bringing him into the sect would be a good thing for the entire Taiqing Hunyuan Taoist lineage.

While Nie Longhu was weighing the pros and cons, Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes and thanked him sincerely:
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for clarifying my doubts."

These experiences of Nie Longhu are really valuable to him.

Especially some techniques for condensing the golden elixir, which were the experience gained by predecessors through countless attempts, were of great help to him in condensing the golden elixir.

"Daoyou, are you willing to join my Taiqing Hunyuan Taoist lineage? I can introduce you to a Golden Immortal, and perhaps we can form a master-disciple relationship." Nie Longhu pondered for a while, but still extended an olive branch.

The universe is so vast that the probability of encountering another Qi cultivator when incarnating and experiencing tribulations is extremely small, unless the two people are already in the same place.

Meeting is fate, and Nie Longhu now sincerely hopes to invite Chu Zheng to join him.

Chu Zheng could sense Nie Longhu's sincerity. After pretending to hesitate for a while, he shook his head and declined.
"My talent is average, and I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of fellow Taoist and master, so let it go."

His own situation is too special. Apart from the Qi refining method, repairing the panel is his foundation.

Facing those Golden Immortal-level characters, he didn't think he could hide very well. The days of hiding one's head and showing one's tail would make people very uncomfortable, which was far less convenient and worry-free than practicing alone.

Having said this, Nie Longhu stopped trying to persuade him and just stopped there.

You can't become a disciple of the Golden Immortal just because you want to. Such opportunities don't come often. If Chu Zheng doesn't want to, he won't force it.

If you appear too enthusiastic, it would be disrespectful to your teachers and elders.

drip...

Suddenly, a message appeared on the intelligent light brain on Chu Zheng’s wrist. It was quite urgent and came from the chief of Tiancixing Military Region, Su Huafeng.

Chu Zheng clicked on the message, and a projection immediately appeared in front of him. At first glance, he was nearly thirty years old, with a handsome face, brown hair and black eyes, nine feet tall, with broad shoulders and back, and as straight as a pine tree.

"Director Qi, we may be in trouble."

Su Huafeng looked very solemn, and spoke in a deep voice:
"Five days ago, the Federation held a congress held once every ten years and issued a declaration of war. The Tianyao Federation is about to go to war against another unknown star region. All the congressmen will visit the major stars and review the troops."

"Because of you, Director Qi, I have applied for a lot of genetic evolution fluids in recent years, but the army does not have the corresponding fresh blood to supplement it. We can discuss the specific matters when we meet."

As the voice fell, the projection slowly dissipated. Chu Zheng looked at Nie Longhu beside him thoughtfully and asked, "What do you think, fellow Taoist?"

"Don't wade into muddy waters. Leave Tianci Star and find a star at random. I have a method to extract the star source liquid, which is enough for the two of us to practice." Nie Longhu reacted decisively without any hesitation.

The star domain war is quite terrifying. The third and fourth level warriors are just cannon fodder. If they participate in it with their current cultivation level, coupled with the influence of the calamity energy, they will have no chance of survival.

"That's what I meant."

Nie Longhu's idea coincided with Chu Zheng's. He also didn't want to stay in Tianci for long.

He had already made this plan when the amount of genetic evolution fluid he obtained became less and less.

He had even secretly prepared warships to cross the starry sky and was ready to leave at any time.

Recently, the prices Su Huafeng offered him have become increasingly higher, and her undisguised greedy face has made Chu Zheng no longer willing to endure it.

Now Nie Longhu has a method to extract star source liquid. As long as he enters the starry sky and finds a few stars with residual energy, it will be enough for him to practice for a long time.

Compared to wasting time mediating with these people on Tianci Star, Chu Zheng would rather endure the dead silence of the starry sky.

After tidying up a bit, Chu Zheng took Nie Longhu and rushed to the military headquarters where Su Huafeng was.

During these twenty years, under Chu Zheng's deliberate arrangement, Nie Longhu acquired a new identity, shed Qi Hua's skin, and became a master of ancient techniques.

The identity of a legal citizen is nothing to Qi Shanyong's power.

As for Qi Hua's whereabouts, Chu Zheng announced to the public that he was sending him to other stars to study.

This did not arouse any doubt. After all, Qi Hua was at the age to attend a higher education institution.

Soon, the two entered the General Administration and met Su Huafeng.

After a round of greetings, as soon as he sat down, Su Huafeng couldn't wait to speak:
"Has Director Qi figured out how to deal with the upcoming congressman?"

"Why should I try to cope with this? What does this have to do with me?"

Chu Zheng looked puzzled. "I paid for every one of those genetic evolution liquids, and they were nearly twice the market price. The latest batch was even three times the market price."

"You sold these potions to me, so it's naturally legal."

Chu Zheng naturally understood Su Huafeng's real intention, which was simply to ask him to think of a way to deal with this visiting congressman.

In the past, Chu Zheng would naturally not choose to break up with Su Huafeng, but would start thinking of ways to deal with it.

But at this moment, the situation is different, because he is about to leave Tianci Star.

When that congressman comes, he can send the warship out legitimately in the name of Xingfeng Group, without having to pass through Su Huafeng's space defense zone.

"Qi Shanyong, are you kidding me?!"

Su Huafeng stood up suddenly, with a look of brewing storm and thunder.
