Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel.

Chapter 258: Book Repair, Disappearing Heavenly Tribulation
The moonlight is bright outside the window.

Bai Nian, who was standing in the hall, hesitated for a moment and said slowly:
"I don't want to serve as an official in the imperial court, but I still want to visit the Jade Capital Divine Palace."

It was the pinnacle of the Dali Dynasty, where scholars from all over the world gathered and where there were truly great writings by great sages and the legacy of great saints.

He is now a little confused and can't see clearly the road ahead. He wants to see how his predecessors walked.

"Go if you want."

Chu Zheng waved his hand nonchalantly: "But wait a little longer, I have some things to deal with in the near future."

His cultivation is about to enter the secret realm of immortal calamity. Now it is not the territory of the Immortal Alliance, and there is no one in charge of the way of heaven. No one knows whether the immortal calamity will befall.

At that time, he would have to find a secluded place to overcome the tribulation first. After the tribulation, he didn't know what would happen and there would be many uncertain risks.

"I won't bother you, Holy Lord, on this trip."

Bai Nian said seriously, "I want to go by myself this time, and think about the future path while I'm at it."

Since he was born, he has stayed in Huanling City, and later followed Chu Zheng. He was either in Taixuan Holy Land or in the small world. He had never measured the heaven and earth himself.

This world is no longer Cang Yun, but he still wants to go out and travel by himself and experience this world in person.

One has to walk his own path. He can't always rely on Chu Zheng, and Chu Zheng has no reason to help him all the time.

Hearing this, Chu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Do whatever you want to do."

"Thank you, Lord, for taking care of me along the way."

Bai Nian breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Since I promised to show you a way out, I will do it. Now the road is under your feet. It is up to you how you want to go."

Chu Zheng shook his head slightly and reminded: "No matter what happens, try not to get involved with me, and never mention the Immortal Alliance, it will save you a lot of trouble."

He would never force others to change their decisions based on his own ideas.

Because his ideas are not necessarily right, and the path others want to take is not necessarily wrong.

Before the unpredictable future arrives, no one can truly grasp what is right or wrong.

He himself has taken many detours, and although his cultivation has improved, he is not qualified to be high and mighty and to give instructions to others at will.

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord. Bai Nian will keep it in mind."

"Ten years later, I will be waiting for you here."

Chu Zheng nodded: "Tell me then what path you really want to take."

"understood."

Bai Nian bowed, turned around and left, his steps as light as the wind.

He was already looking forward to the days ahead.

Looking at Bai Nian's departing back, Chu Zheng slowly closed his eyes, with a plan in mind.

He would not stay in one place for too long. In the past ten years, after traveling around Qingyun Realm and collecting some resources, he was ready to leave.

He has so much to do.

At the very least, he had to find a way to pass Taixuan's news to Geng Yiyang first, and then he wanted to meet Nie Longhu, and visit the Xuanxian and even Jinxian who were also Qi cultivators, so as to improve his Taoism in the future.

He has been practicing for less than twenty years, but he is about to enter the secret realm of immortality. This speed is already beyond the imagination of ordinary practitioners.

But Chu Zheng was still far from satisfied with this.

Even if he had passed the ninth level of the immortal calamity and became a true immortal, he was still like an ant in front of strong people of Zhao Tingxian or even Shang Cangyun's level.

If Chu Zheng wanted to go to the Martial Hall to see Song Lingxue openly, even if he had reached Shang Cangyun's level of cultivation, he would still be far from qualified. It was impossible for Chu Zheng to wait until that point, so he could only find another way from the battlefield of the heavens.

It borders the Martial Palace, so there is a certain chance of coming into contact with the Martial Palace.

The next day.

The morning light shines through the window lattices into the house, casting patches of mottled gold.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Chu Zheng slowly finished his practice and exhaled a breath of fresh air.

After returning to the void, his primordial spirit had undergone another strange change. The Yin-Yang Divine Infant had gradually transformed into his primordial spirit. The way of immortality and the method of refining Qi began to truly blend in his body.

Every day, he would feel different. Deep in his soul, it would be sometimes hot and sometimes cold. The yin and yang energies would constantly flow, interweaving into strands of chaotic energy, which would strengthen his soul all the time.

Tuk Tuk——

There was a knock on the door, followed by Xi Jian's low voice:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, is this convenient for you?"

Chu Zheng raised his hand and opened the door, then stood up from the couch and greeted him: "Mr. Xi, what's the matter?"

"Bai Nian left in the morning, did you know?"

Bai Nian left in a hurry. After spending the whole night tidying up, he went out directly with his book box on his back.

"know."

Chu Zheng naturally knew about this. Even though he had not actively released his divine sense to investigate, every movement of the entire small town was within his ears.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I am here to ask for a favor."

Xi Jian seemed to be a little hesitant. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a long box from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Zheng:

"I want to return this item to its original owner."

What was in the box was naturally the spiritual ginseng.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng did not answer it, and was a little confused: "What does Mr. Xi mean? Did Bai Nian make a mistake?"

"No, no, it's just..."

Xi Jian waved his hands repeatedly, then gritted his teeth and said, "I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Chu to show mercy and let Bai Nian go."

"Let him go? How can this be possible?"

Chu Zheng was increasingly confused. What had he done to Bai Nian? Why didn't he have any impression of it?
"Anian is a good kid."

Xi Jian sighed and said straight to the point: "This child has a pure heart and has no intention of pursuing a career in politics. He is unwilling to serve as an official in the court. I am afraid he cannot help you much. Please do not waste too much time on him."

After all, he felt a sense of appreciation for talent, so he came here today to plead for mercy.

In his opinion, Chu Zheng gave Bai Nian such a spiritual ginseng and spent a year with him in this desolate town, spending so much time and energy, it seems that he has a lot of expectations for Bai Nian.

If this Qi cultivator knew that Bai Nian had no ambition to make progress, he would probably fly into a rage and even turn against him on the spot.

He heard that these Qi-cultivators were moody and unscrupulous, and was afraid that the situation would be difficult to handle, so he came to plead for them.

"I thought it was a big deal. Mr. Xi was mistaken."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng couldn't help but shook his head:
"Bai Nian told me last night that if he doesn't want to be an official, then don't be one. Being an official is not the only career path in the world. Besides, what does it have to do with me what he wants to do?" "That's Bai Nian's gift, Mr. Xi, please accept it."

After saying that, he pushed the long box back, took out a brocade box and threw it over:

"This is the room fee for the two of us for this year. Thank you Mr. Xi for taking care of us during this period."

Xi Jian took the brocade box in a daze. He was confused by Chu Zheng's reaction for a moment. When he realized what was happening, his face immediately changed:

"Absolutely not! I'm not a famous teacher. I'm just helping Bai Nian get started. This spiritual ginseng is already a rare treasure. I can't afford it. How can I accept anything from you?"

As he spoke, Xi Jian was about to return the brocade box, but his body froze and he could not move at all.

"Don't panic, Mr. Xi. The immobilization technique will resolve itself in a cup of tea."

Chu Zheng said casually, glanced at the rising sun outside the house, counted with his fingers, and after a moment, smiled faintly:
"Today is a sunny and windy day, an auspicious day for traveling. I will say goodbye now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Zheng disappeared from the room.

Soon, Xi Jian felt his whole body relax, the immobilization spell was lifted, he lowered his head and hurriedly opened the brocade box in his hand.

There is a jade pendant in the box, which is transparent and seems to have warm water flowing inside. It can absorb spiritual energy and nourish the body. For scholars, it can strengthen their bodies and wearing it for many years will have considerable benefits.

"This……"

Looking at the jade pendant, Xi Jian was speechless for a moment. He originally came to return the spiritual ginseng, but he never expected to receive such a valuable gift.

Are all Qi cultivators so wealthy?

"Oh, what should I do..."

Xi Jian felt a little uneasy. After thinking for a while, he turned back to his room, walked to the desk, and started painting.

After a moment, Bai Nian's image appeared vividly on the paper, and then he started writing another letter.

After rolling up the letter and the portrait and stuffing them into the mailbox, Xi Jian walked to the window and raised his hand to summon a strange bird, no more than a foot long, covered with three-colored spiritual feathers, and with lively and bright eyes.

After Xi Jian tied up the letter tube, the strange bird flapped its wings and flew to the capital of Dali, Yujing Divine Palace.

After receiving the two rare treasures from Chu Zheng, Xi Jian would feel uneasy if he didn't do anything. If Bai Nian really arrived in Yujing, this letter should be able to help him solve some minor problems.

After doing all this, Xi Jian felt a lot more comfortable. Less than a moment later, his expression suddenly changed.

Bai Nian left in such a hurry, did he bring any money with him?

The journey to Yujing is long and arduous, and the mountains are high and the waters are deep. How can one go there with nothing in his pocket?
Thinking of this, Xi Jian thought again, feeling a little uncertain, and thought to himself:
Maybe... Chu Zheng has already given it?

After all, Chu Zheng was so generous, it was impossible for him not to prepare these for Bai Nian.

…………

…………

After leaving Huanhua Academy, Chu Zheng searched the deep mountains and old forests, and headed straight for the wilderness where few people were.

He has reached the peak of the Tongxuan realm, his cultivation is gradually becoming uncontrollable, and he is about to step into the Xianjie secret realm.

If he stayed in the academy any longer, there would be trouble and innocent people would be implicated.

Soon, Chu Zheng found an uninhabited place, surrounded by mountains and water, with steep peaks for tens of thousands of miles.

He found a mountain top, sat down cross-legged among the endless ice and snow, took a deep breath, swallowed a handful of elixir, and the five elements of immortal roots in his dantian moved slightly, digesting the power of the medicine, and began to move towards a new realm.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

Within a ten-foot radius of where Chu Zheng was located, the snow had melted, grass was growing and flowers were blooming, as if warm spring had arrived.

As early as ten days ago, he had already stepped into the secret realm of immortal tribulation, but he had never stepped over it and had been making preparations.

Once he entered the secret realm of the Immortal Tribulation, it meant that his cultivation had entered the seventh level. Now his level as a repairer was only the seventh level, and he could no longer repair his body infinitely. Therefore, in order to survive the tribulation, he had to be fully prepared.

Chu Zheng calmed down and adjusted himself to the best condition. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with coldness.

click -

With a slight sound, the last bit of barrier in his body was shattered.

A wisp of pure white immortal energy was born from the Five Elements Immortal Root, climbed up along the spine, passed through the Yin-Yang Immortal Bone, and then returned to the Dantian again, turning into pure immortal power.

The birth of immortal power means that Chu Zheng’s cultivation has completely entered the secret realm of immortal calamity.

He took a deep breath, looked at the clear sky, and prepared to face the coming of the catastrophe.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed, night was falling, and there was still no reaction in the air.

Over the past half day, Chu Zheng has accumulated a lot of immortal power in his dantian, enough to display his immortal arts and magical powers, but there is still not much movement above the sky.

In a blink of an eye, the moon was bright in the sky and the stars dotted the night sky, which was extremely magnificent.

Looking at the still and motionless sky, Chu Zheng was stunned.

What about the catastrophe?
After thinking about it, he gradually discovered that something was wrong.

He did have immortal power in his body, and he had undoubtedly entered the secret realm of immortal calamity. However, he had already developed immortal power without having experienced the cleansing of thunder calamity. This seemed to go against common sense.

wrong……

In an instant, Chu Zheng's expression changed. After careful sensing, he suddenly discovered that the calamity energy surrounding him had increased significantly and was almost bursting out, evolving into a calamity.

A flash of inspiration came into his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

The way of immortality and the way of refining Qi were blending in his body. Chu Zheng had already noticed this, but he never expected that these two ways had merged to this extent.

Previously, the Qi-refining school was influenced by the way of immortals, and its cultivation level increased rapidly. Now, the way of immortals is also affected by the Qi-refining method. The heavenly calamity was wiped out and turned into calamity energy that accumulated.

Heavenly tribulations are tests given to living beings by the way of heaven. In essence, they are no different from the tribulations experienced by Qi cultivators. It is nothing more than the difference between natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Now the heavenly calamity has disappeared, but the calamity energy has not disappeared. Instead, it has accumulated and turned into his own calamity.

Chu Zheng's face showed solemnity. Rather than facing the calamity head on, he would rather go through the heavenly calamity. At least, it was controllable. As for his own calamity, apart from the incarnation to go through the calamity, no one knew what other changes would be caused.

Now that the calamity energy accumulated in his body is so great, even if he transforms into an incarnation to experience the calamity, it would be too late. It wouldn't be long before trouble would come to him.

After a long time, Chu Zheng calmed down and began to look through his previous accumulations. He wanted to find a new protective treasure.

After selecting for a long time, Chu Zheng chose a fragment of a treasure that he had previously obtained from a battlefield outside the domain.

[Emperor Jade Disk (Level 0): Made from the natural spiritual jade from the chaos, it contains the "Four Qi to Regulate the Nerves" and "Yin Yang Theory" and other medical scriptures. It was broken in the war and can be repaired (500/)]

Medical research on the human body has reached its peak. The theory of yin and yang harmony should have played a significant role in the practice of Chu Zheng.

The number of repair times of the repair panel is not constant and will be affected by the environment, but what restricts Chu Zheng now is not the number of repair times that refresh daily.

Now, every repair not only consumes the number of repair times, but also requires the assistance of the original energy.

The Emperor's Jade Disk requires exactly five hundred energies of original energy.
