Do not die

It was already half a year later when Meng Zhou sorted out all the changes after this breakthrough and completely adapted to his strength state after forming the ninth level of pill formation.

On the tenth day of July, after another retreat.

[Cultivation progress +150, nine levels of pill formation 315/10,000;

Hanhai Mingyue True Picture Experience +10,800, Grandmaster 240,800/320,000]

After sorting out the results of this retreat, Meng Zhou stood up and walked towards the other side of Lotus Space.

Sitting there cross-legged, holding her hat in one hand and holding a paintbrush in the other, looking at a piece of white drawing paper in front of her, her eyes full of boredom. When Bai Zhi saw him approaching, she just rolled her eyes and glanced at him. He continued to stare at the drawing paper in front of him in a daze.

Meng Zhou was speechless when he saw her undisguised look of laziness.

Previously, under the encouragement of her own words, Bai Zhi did practice seriously for a period of time.

But it really only lasted "for a while".

At first, she would pretend to cover it up, at least on the surface she would look like she was working hard.

But now, she doesn't even bother to pretend.

It might be slanderous to say that she was just showing off with nothing to do every day, but he had not seen her seriously practicing hard for a long time.

In this regard, Meng Zhou didn't say much.

He even made a small excuse for Bai Zhi in his heart.

Unlike his boring temperament, as long as there is a suitable square inch of land, he can stay there until the sea is gone.

If the background of his character is cold, colorless rationality, then the background of Bai Zhi's character is completely opposite to his, full of sincere emotions and colorful sensibility.

Compared with the continuous improvement of her cultivation and the continuous enhancement of her strength, she cares more about the comfort of the soul and the beauty of the feeling, and is happy to immerse herself in such an atmosphere.

In this state, she doesn't need to make any deliberate efforts, she will have a natural feeling that everything will be just right whether she is walking, sitting or lying down.

Staying in this small lotus space for several years does not feel bad to Meng Zhou. Staying in this space that is completely under his control, he even feels at ease that he is in control of his own destiny. feel.

But for Bai Zhi, such an environment is indeed a bit too unfriendly to her.

Previously, because Meng Zhou had no other arrangements between practicing and tracking Lian Ziling, he simply spent a lot of time with her and helped her improve her cultivation through the interaction between the two cultivators.

When all this subsides, return to quiet practice.

In the past nearly a year, Meng Zhou has focused almost entirely on his own practice.

Bai Zhi, who had been left aside, could still maintain her current state of mind. She could be said to be very stable and restrained.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou suddenly felt a little sorry.

"I'm going out for a while, please come with me."

Bai Zhi, who was bored and dazed, suddenly straightened up and turned to look at him head on, her eyes widened.

"You want to go out?"

Meng Zhou nodded.

"Isn't there any danger?"

Bai Zhi knew that with this man's suffocating personality, he would definitely not go out without an important reason, but she didn't care about this. The first thing that came to her mind was safety.

Meng Zhou nodded and said:

"After several years of re-adjustment, the order of the Five Realms Cultivation World has basically stabilized again.

Although everyone is far more vigilant than before, as long as they act low-key and don't take the initiative to cause trouble, safety is still guaranteed. "

Bai Zhi, who was sitting cross-legged casually just a moment ago, suddenly stood up and asked:

"Then...can I go see Zhu Qi?"

In order to let Bai Zhi have a basic understanding of the changes in the outside world, Meng Zhou would refine the general changes in the outside world and share them with Bai Zhi every once in a while.

Of course, Bai Zhi is not very concerned about these.

Her biggest worry was that she was very worried about Zhu Qian's safety after knowing that with the arrival of the Xingxiu Palace monks, the Five Realms Cultivation World was completely in chaos, and people died every day, even every moment.

Despite Meng Zhou's guarantee that he would even share Zhu Qian's current situation captured by the "Transparent Round Mirror" with her, Bai Zhi still couldn't help but worry and miss her.

However, she was worried, but she would not interfere with Meng Zhou's decision, let alone make any crazy demands.

Until now.

Meng Zhou nodded and said softly:

"Of course, but it's best not to make too much noise.

Also, you should know what to say and what not to say after meeting her, right? "

After hearing his instructions, Bai Zhi rolled her eyes and said:

"Am I that careless? Do you still need to remind me of this?"

Meng Zhou smiled and nodded: "Then let's set off now?"

"Yeah." Bai Zhi nodded lightly.

Then, Bai Zhi took the initiative to ask that in order to facilitate his actions, he could bring Zhu Qian into the sea of ​​consciousness before meeting her, which would be more convenient for both of them.

After taking Bai Zhi into the sea of ​​consciousness, Meng Zhou left the lotus space in a flash.

As soon as he appeared, a heavy evil aura hit his face. Meng Zhou felt as if he was suddenly in an environment of ice and snow. The evil aura that hit his face was like a bone-chilling wind, making him unable to help but tremble. Got excited.

The originally somewhat scattered state of mind and body was like having a bucket of ice water poured over my head, and I suddenly became extremely sober.

Meng Zhou turned around and looked at the spiritual lotus that was completely hidden in the evil aura. He stretched out his hand and put it into the spiritual gourd space with a weak move.

Then, he reached out and wiped it gently, and all traces were cleaned up.

After doing all this, Meng Zhou didn't stay for a moment and quickly escaped from this place.

After a while, the entire Hidden Mist Sea was far behind him.

…

After Meng Zhou left the Hidden Mist Sea and traveled tens of thousands of miles between the real world and the real world, a second-order spiritual land appeared in his field of vision from a distance.

At this moment, he is still within the alchemy domain.

Meng Zhou entered this second-level spiritual land and finally stopped in front of a rolling hill.

These hills are the core of this spiritual vein.

All second-level high-grade caves are located here.

On almost every low hill, there is a group of large or small buildings located in it.

The formation is the most obvious boundary marker.

In some areas, several mountaintops are covered by the same formation, and in many areas, the formation only covers an isolated mountaintop.

On some hills there are many monks huddled together, while on others there are only one or two monks meditating.

It is very quiet between the top of the mountain.

Although it seemed like a harmonious and quiet atmosphere now, Meng Zhou knew that almost every hilltop in this hilly area was stained with blood.

Because it was so close, the smell of blood hadn't even completely dissipated.

The appearance of everything returning to order now is actually soaked in this rich blood.

Meng Zhou looked at one place, and the cover of those second-order formations naturally did not hinder him at all.

There, there is a large mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, there was a figure tending to a medicinal garden with his head down.

This is also the only living person on this mountain.

This person is none other than Zhu Qian, whom Bai Zhi often worries about.

After knowing that Xingxiu Palace was about to come out again, and before dealing with other things, the first thing Meng Zhou did after leaving Qiyun Peak was to resettle Zhu Qian.

To make a living person completely "disappear" without affecting his normal practice and life, this may be a very troublesome thing for people, including the ancestors of the five sects. thing.

But for Meng Zhou, who has almost omniscient vision within the five domains, this is an easy thing to do.

As long as Zhu Qian is not so desperate as to "expose herself", Meng Zhou can even guarantee that even if Lian Ziling passes her by, he will not notice her little shrimp.

At that time, Meng Zhou didn't know that Xingxiu Palace would be so ruthless. Without knowing exactly what Xingxiu Palace would do, he placed Zhu Qian nearby in a second-level spiritual vessel within the jurisdiction of Qingxuan Territory. .

But later, due to the actions of the Xingxiu Palace, the five-domain practice world collapsed and fell into huge chaos.

Among them, the Qingxuan Domain, which has the largest number of practitioners and the largest number of artificial third-level spiritual lands, is the most chaotic.

And Meng Zhou, who has been paying attention to the changes in the five regions, had already foreseen this scene in advance before the great chaos that swept the five regions came.

Moreover, it was basically expected that the Qingxuan Domain would be the most chaotic and the most thoroughly "shuffled" area.

Under his guidance, Bai Zhi left the Qingxuan Territory before the chaos broke out completely and came to the Alchemy Territory. It seemed that there was no danger, but in fact, she regained her footing.

Zhu Qian is not only Bai Zhi's favorite, but also one of Meng Zhou's few old friends. Meng Zhou will naturally pay close attention to her current situation.

From a certain point of view, Zhu Qian, who lives under the attention of the "Transparent Round Mirror" almost all the time, is just like the Five Realms version of "The Truman". Unless she can't think of it and wants to die, otherwise, she really wants to die. All difficult.

For others, obtaining such a mountain may require huge sacrifices or burning a huge number of brain cells.

But for Meng Zhou, all it takes is two words to let Zhu Qian get this -

"arrange!"

In the whole session, what burned the most brain cells for him was to consider how to "arrange" everything so that everything would appear more logical and reasonable, and the follow-up would be minimal.

However, compared to the "discussion" with Lian Ziling, the "arrangement" for Zhu Qian can only be regarded as a low-difficulty game to adjust the body and mind.

With these thoughts in mind, Meng Zhou had quietly passed through the barrier of the formation and entered the hill where Zhu Qian alone was meditating.

Meng Zhou did not show up to meet Zhu Qian. To Zhu Qian, he was a long-lost old friend, but to Meng Zhou, he was the protagonist of the live broadcast that he could see every day.

Therefore, he called Bai Zhi out of the sea of ​​consciousness. After she woke up, he told her a few words and then turned and left.

Not to mention the impact that Bai Zhi's sudden appearance had on Zhu Qian, Meng Zhou who left this hilly area did not leave this second-level spiritual vein.

He appeared on a street with a completely new look.

At this moment, Meng Zhou pretended to be a middle-aged man in the late stage of foundation building, standing in front of a shop that didn't look anything special on the outside.

He walked into the store, ignored the clerk's greeting, walked through the central hall, and went straight to the back of the store.

The old man who was sitting in the corner and didn't know what he was thinking had turned to look at him.

This old man had a sixth-level Foundation Establishment cultivation. When he saw a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk ignoring the clerk's greeting and coming straight to him, his face jumped uncontrollably and his breathing changed.

This sudden scene made the old man feel wary and even more confused.

Although thoughts were racing through his mind, there was no delay in his actions. The old man immediately stood up, cupped his hands to Meng Zhou and said:

"Is there something wrong with my friend?"

Meng Zhou turned his head and looked at the clerk next to him who was staring closely at him.

The old man waved his hand and signaled the clerk to go work elsewhere.

After the clerk left, Meng Zhoucai said: "It's a small thing."

"What's the matter?" the old man asked seriously, not relaxing because the other party said "little things".

Meng Zhou smiled and said: "I know you got the inheritance of the Mendan Weapon Sect at a cheap price in the past two years..."

"Bang - click -"

Before Meng Zhou finished speaking, the old man slapped his palm on the table with a loud noise, forcibly interrupting Meng Zhou's words.

Because he was too excited, the old man failed to control the strength of his attack, and the table was smashed to pieces by him.

He had no intention of paying attention to this.

At this moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, his original kind demeanor was covered with a faint bloody aura, and murderous aura emitted from his body uncontrollably.

He stared at Meng Zhou closely. If he could, he would have taken action long ago.

It's a pity that the cultivation of the man in front of him made him rational.

He said perfunctory words, "Friend, don't talk nonsense..."

Meng Zhou waved his hand casually and said:

"You don't need to be so nervous. Everyone knows what happened in the past few years. Either you kill someone or you are killed. It is inevitable to get some blood on your hands. You really don't need to be so nervous."

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyelids twitched uncontrollably again.

He even felt that the man in front of him was threatening him by saying this.

Although the Five Sects have lost their former glory, if the news spreads that he killed the monks of the Alchemy Sect and obtained the inheritance of the Alchemy Sect from them, his death will basically come.

The old man stared at Meng Zhou, feeling extremely nervous, but he managed to keep his face calm and asked:

"How did you know?"

"I saw it." Meng Zhou smiled lightly.

The old man clenched his fists, resisting the urge to tear the face apart, and continued to ask: "Does anyone else know?"

Meng Zhou shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, apart from the fact that God knows and you know about this matter, only I know about it... You just need to seal my mouth, and there is nothing to worry about."

Fists clenched.

The urge to kill became stronger.

But--

The old man took a deep breath, said nothing else, stared at Meng Zhou, and said slowly: "I will give you everything you want, but you must also agree to one condition!"

"you say!"

"You must swear on your heart that you will never let a third person know about that matter!"

Meng Zhou nodded: "No problem."

After a while, Meng Zhou left the shop.

Around the sea of ​​​​consciousness and the soul pool, invisible thin threads are entangled in circles. (End of chapter)
