Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel.

Chapter 247 Threat
Inside the secret room, the magic circle was glowing dimly, and under the alchemy furnace not far away, the fire was flickering, exuding waves of warmth.

Looking at the words appearing on the jade book, Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the jade book.

After a moment, he inexplicably felt a sense of relief in his heart.

He never took his own life too seriously. He entered a different world, like a rootless duckweed. All along, apart from chasing the illusory reputation after his death, it was difficult for him to find anything else to be interested in.

But now, even though they are far apart on the other side of the starry sky, there is still someone who cares about him.

After a long silence, he picked up his pen and wrote a reply.

…………

…………

[My wife, seeing a letter is like seeing you in person. 】

[Everything is fine recently, don't worry, the starlight you see in your eyes is just an old dream from many years ago, maybe one day, you will find my trace in the starlight.]

[The world is cruel and people are mean. When you are in a strange place, you should be more cautious and think twice before making any moves. 】

[People have separations and reunions, the moon waxes and wanes, just like drinking bitter wine, although it has a bitter aftertaste, it will eventually become sweet.]

【I hope you take good care of yourself and wait for the day we meet again. 】

The bright words on the jade book dispelled the coldness in the cave.

Looking at Chu Zheng's reply, Song Lingxue's eyes softened.

When they were together, Chu Zheng never spoke to her like this. Most of his thoughts and energy were focused on cultivation.

In fact, compared to her younger sister, she is not very interested in spiritual practice.

When he was in the Song Mansion, the reason why he practiced martial arts every day was simply because the Song family needed a strong enough heir, someone who could take on the responsibility.

Until now... the pressure of her practice came only from Chu Zheng.

Perhaps Chu Zheng doesn't care about her cultivation level, but she can't feel at ease.

The words on the jade book gradually disappeared, and it began to slowly absorb the essence of heaven and earth and began to charge.

I don’t know how long it will take until I can write a letter again.

Song Lingxue took a deep breath, stood up with the help of the wall, and strode out of the cave.

Time is short and the task is heavy. The starry sky beneath her feet is quite vast. Even if those alien species stand in front of her and she kills them one by one in a hundred years, she will not be able to kill them all.

And she only had seventeen years.

…………

…………

After replying to Song Lingxue, Chu Zheng felt a little uneasy. It took a long time before he gradually calmed down.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Zheng took a deep breath and used his magical power "Fake Form" to transform into Bai Zhixiao's appearance.

After adapting for a while, he activated the jade disc.

In the blink of an eye, the jade disk turned into a water mirror, reflecting a picture.

"What's the matter?"

Mist was rising in the wide jade pool. A woman in a veil was sitting lazily by the pool, with her arms hanging down. Her jade-like fingertips gently touched the water surface, creating ripples.

Chu Zheng's eyes turned cold, he suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, bowed and spoke tentatively:
"Demon Fairy, Chu Zheng is about to return to Taixuan. I have not yet contacted the two demon kings mentioned by the demon fairy. Do you think there is any accident?"

"You haven't seen it yet? How is that possible? They arrived more than a month ago."

The Dongsheng Fairy immediately frowned, his eyelids drooped slightly, and a ray of fairy light appeared at his fingertips.

After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, with a hint of disbelief flashing across her face:
"died?!"

"Who died?"

A hint of astonishment appeared on Chu Zheng's face.

The Dongsheng Fairy did not answer him. She bit her fingertips lightly, her eyes moving uncontrollably.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Have you found anything unusual about Chu Zheng recently?"

"I haven't found anything unusual, but a few days ago, a red light escaped from the direction of Taixuan Holy Land. I don't know what it is."

"Are there any other abnormalities? Has there been any loud fighting recently?" Dongsheng Demon Fairy continued to ask.

Chu Zheng pretended to think for a moment, then nodded and said, "Some time ago, I heard that an immortal treasure seemed to have taken action, but I don't know why."

"Immortal treasure..."

Hearing this, Dongsheng Demon Immortal's heart moved, and a sneer appeared on his face: "This Chu Zheng must have been prepared and brought a fairy treasure to protect himself."

She could roughly guess what had happened. It was nothing more than that the two demon kings had acted on their own and were then robbed and killed by Chu Zheng with his magic treasure.

As for why I didn't contact Bai Zhixiao first, the reason was very simple.

A seven-tribulation demon king and a nine-tribulation demon king. It is understandable that these two demons look down on Bai Zhixiao when they join forces.

Chu Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "Demon Fairy, what do you think of the current plan? How should we deal with Chu Zheng? I'm afraid the people from the Immortal Alliance are coming..."

After the Ten Thousand Sects Hidden Dragon Competition, within a few years, the Immortal Alliance will send a special envoy to come and bring in the True Immortal Seeds.

Chu Zheng naturally didn't want to be picked up by this special envoy. As long as the envoy of the Immortal Alliance arrived, it would be the day for him to leave Cangyun.

Now he just wanted to know the next plan of this Dongsheng Demon Immortal so as to take precautions against any possible consequences.

Dongsheng Fairy pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "I'll arrange for someone to pick him up."

"What does this mean, demon immortal?" Chu Zheng's expression changed.

"On the way back to the Great Immortal Realm, I will inevitably pass through the Ten Thousand Realms. I will just deal with them when the time comes."

The expression of Dongsheng Demon Fairy became a little impatient. The death of two great demon kings was also a great loss to her.

What's more, one of them is the mount of a true immortal, which will cause a lot of trouble and she will have to spend a lot of money to calm it down.

Chu Zheng suddenly realized, and then pursed his lips slightly, a little nervously said: "The fairy treasure you promised me before..."

This is the thing that excites Chu Zheng the most, a real fairy treasure, priceless and powerful enough to shake the heavens.

"Xianbao? How dare you ask?"

Dongsheng Yaoxian's face was slightly cold: "Let me ask you, is Chu Zheng dead now? Did you hurt Chu Zheng in the slightest?"

"Beast!"

Chu Zheng's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted loudly, his voice like a bell:

"If you don't give me the immortal treasure, I will report it to the Immortal Alliance right now, saying that you are secretly harming my human race's genius! The Cangyun Immortal King is not dead yet!"

Dongsheng Fairy was stunned for a moment, and her thoughts went blank for a moment. After she came to her senses, she instantly fell into a rage:
“How dare you! You are just a lowly creature from Cang Yun, and you dare to scold me?!” “What if I scold you? You evil beast!

Chu Zheng snorted coldly, his tone getting higher and higher: "Believe it or not, I will write a letter right now, report to the Immortal Alliance, and let the Cangyun Immortal King take your life! Then you and I will perish together!"

"you!"

Dongsheng Yaoxian's chest rose and fell sharply, and she kept gasping for breath. The murderous intent in her eyes almost solidified. After a while, she spoke sinisterly:

"Don't you want the foundation of the Taixu Holy Land?"

"If you dare to come to Taixu, I will use the Taixu Sword to kill you with my own hands!"

Chu Zheng sneered, not caring at all. He stared at the Dongsheng Fairy in the mirror and said word by word:

"I want the fairy treasure!"

Dongsheng Yaoxian's face twitched, and the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared. After a long while, he spoke: "I will have someone bring it to you when the time comes."

She didn't dare to gamble whether Bai Zhixiao really wanted to die with her. The life of a Cang Yun Xianjie cultivator was insignificant compared to her own safety.

No matter how little regard the cultivators of the Cang Yun Realm have for the Immortal Alliance, there are still many True Immortals alive today, as well as an extremely powerful being like the Cang Yun Immortal King.

Even though the Immortal King Cang Yun does not care about Cang Yun's affairs now, it does not mean that he will sit idly by and watch the Cang Yun geniuses being harmed.

"No need to go through so much trouble. There is a boundary gate in the Immortal Alliance. You can just seal the Immortal Treasure and send it to Wanlong City. It will arrive in half a month."

Chu Zheng directly rejected the proposal of Dongsheng Demon Immortal. After absorbing Bai Zhixiao's memory, his understanding of the Immortal Alliance made great progress.

In the Immortal Alliance, there is a treasure called "Jie Wheel".

This precious treasure connects all the star fields in the Immortal Alliance and has boundary gates set up within them.

The nearest gate to the Cangyun Realm is half a month, which is considered slow to reach Cangyun with the means of a True Immortal.

"..."

Dongsheng Fairy's breathing became increasingly disordered. After a moment of silence, she almost gritted her teeth and spoke, "Okay..."

She never thought that Bai Zhixiao would have the guts to offend her like this.

You can’t tell on normal days, but humans are really cunning!

Bang!
The water mirror shattered in an instant, turned into a jade disk again, and fell into Chu Zheng's palm.

After putting away the jade disc, Chu Zheng fell into deep thought.

He was not too sure whether the Dongsheng Fairy would really send the magic treasure to him. Even if he did, he was afraid that he would tamper with the magic treasure.

Chu Zheng didn't care about this. He had spiritual eyes. If the magic treasure could not be used, he could just put it aside and extract the magic energy inside it as reserve energy for repair.

If an accident really happens, with Bai Zhixiao and the Taixu Holy Land supporting them, they shouldn't suffer much loss.

On the contrary, if the Dongsheng Fairy really handed the fairy treasure to him...

That's a shame. This secret won't make him live off it for the rest of his life, but he'll at least be able to extort some money from it and then run away when the opportunity arises.

After dealing with the matter of the Dongsheng Fairy, Chu Zheng took out the previously sealed semi-immortal treasure 'Yunyuan'.

This sharp sword from the Taixu Holy Land has been sealed by him.

The reason why Bai Zhixiao was able to detect his ambush before was because there was a mark left on this semi-immortal treasure.

During this period of time, he tried to communicate with the fairies in Yunyuan, but the process was not very pleasant. In desperation, he could only use some means.

When it comes to the level of a semi-immortal treasure, it has less initiative than a Tongxuan spiritual treasure and is unable to fight independently because the loss is too great and it cannot be borne by itself. It needs to be controlled by cultivators.

This is also related to the environment of heaven and earth. It is quite difficult to refine immortal power by relying on a little spiritual energy. Taking action often means consuming a lot of original energy.

Chu Zheng sat cross-legged with the sword across his knees, silently practicing the Qi Gathering Sky Repairing Technique and began to draw the immortal energy from the Yunyuan.

He had already drawn it several times, and Yun Yuan's sword body was a little dull compared to before.

Soon, after several days passed and another stream of immortal energy left the body, the Yunyuan Sword became weaker and weaker. The immortal spirit inside it sent out a thought and begged for mercy.

If you continue to draw it out, it will soon turn into a piece of ordinary iron, and the true spirit that you have cultivated with great difficulty will be annihilated.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng did not continue. It could be seen from the Falling Star Bow that the Semi-Immortal Treasure still had a huge impact on his current combat power.

With Yun Yuan's full cooperation, this semi-immortal treasure quickly recognized its master, and Chu Zheng returned those strands of immortal energy to fill its foundation.

During the battle with Bai Zhixiao, he had a clearer understanding of his current combat power. With the Yunyuan in his hand, any immortal cultivator below the third tribulation could not be his opponent.

After refining Yunyuan, Chu Zheng was preparing to come out to see the outside world when he suddenly felt a wave of fluctuations from deep within his soul.

After devouring a part of Bai Zhixiao's soul fragments, the strength of his soul had already skyrocketed. Now, with the nourishment of incense and vows, he has reached the bottleneck of his cultivation.

After a month of seclusion and some adjustments, Chu Zheng's cultivation naturally entered the middle stage of Tongxuan realm.

Less than a year after he entered Tongxuan, he had already made another breakthrough.

Fortunately, the Hidden Dragon List has now been disbanded and no one in the outside world knows about it, otherwise it would be another earthquake.

After adapting for a while, Chu Zheng got up and came out of seclusion. As soon as he stepped out of Taixuan Station, he realized something was wrong.

In the sky above Wanlong City, a brightly shining scarlet-gold divine sword hangs, stretching for a thousand miles, with dazzling fairy patterns climbing on it and auspicious rays hanging down.

[Blood-Transforming Knife (Level 8): A low-grade immortal treasure, transformed from a semi-immortal treasure. Billions of souls have died under the knife, and the blade is entangled with blood. An evil spirit is housed within it. If held by someone with an inadequate character, they will easily become mentally disturbed.]

The light in Chu Zheng's eyes faded away, and the smile on his lips continued to grow. Although this knife had some problems, it was indeed a genuine fairy treasure, and there was no hidden trick in it.

Since this Dongsheng Fairy was so honest, it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to continue to reach out.

There is a special magic circle covering the Blood-Transforming Sword, which requires a specific method to unlock.

The Dongsheng Demon Fairy had given Bai Zhixiao some benefits before, and it was by relying on this method that he ensured that things could be accurately delivered to his hands.

After calming himself down, Chu Zheng used a disguise to transform into Bai Zhixiao's appearance. In full view of everyone, he made hand seals and put away the Blood-Transforming Sword.

Most of the power of the Blood-Transforming Sword has been sealed and cannot pose a threat to the outside world. Even if one wants to activate it, it will cost a lot of fairy jade to have some effect.

This scene naturally caused a lot of discussion all around, but due to Bai Zhixiao's current cultivation level, no one dared to discuss it.

Chu Zheng turned into a ray of light and left Wanlong City. After hiding his whereabouts, he sneaked back to Wanlong City again.

During the period of his retreat, Fu Quanliang, who was far away in the Taixuan Holy Land, sent him many letters.

During the period when the Ten Thousand Sects Hidden Dragon Competition began, Chu Zheng handed over all the visiting cards sent by various forces to Fu Quanliang.

Now, he has given suggestions one by one, and some decisions still need Chu Zheng's approval.

Chu Zheng took a quick look and gave his approval.

He didn't have time to deal with the interactions with various forces, so he could only let Fu Quanliang handle it at his discretion.

As for the timing of reopening the mountain gate for the second time, he determined it personally.
