"Are you really leaving?" After half a sound, Nangong Zhaoxue shouted with some disbelief, but there was no other sound in the air except for the gentle sound of the wind.

After leaving Nangong Zhaoxue, Zhao Xin decided to plan his future formation, if he calculated the time, most of his twelve-year covenant had passed, and he was unconscious, there were still three years left, if he had been so casual, then the future was slim. Therefore, we must no longer roam so aimlessly, we must formulate a plan to improve the realm, and there are only two ways to improve the realm, the first is to need a large number of barren stones, and the second is to absorb the essence and blood of outsiders.

Of course, the feasibility of the second method is too low, not only because it is a little cruel, but more importantly, it cannot fail, once it fails, your future is worrying, and you may not be able to wait for the day when you die.

However, when it comes to barren stones, Zhao Xin still has some inventory, all of which were saved by robbery during those days, although he was taken away a lot when he entered the black store, but there are still more than 2,000 catties, which is estimated to be enough for himself to raise his voice.

Thinking of it, Zhao Xin found a relatively hidden hill, cut out a small cave with Yang Yanyan's eye, and after taking out all the barren stones, he sealed the entrance of the cave.

Regarding the matter of retreat, Zhao Xin wanted to do it a long time ago, and it turned out that after receiving the million catties of barren stones, Zhao Xin wanted to retreat, but because there were too many things, it was delayed. Although there are fewer barren rocks this time, it is enough for Zhao Xin, after all, his retreat time cannot be too long, and if it is too long, he may sit down directly.

Sitting in the cave, placing the barren stones around himself, placing a formation diagram according to the position written in the "Eight Changes", and integrating his own essence and blood into it, after everything was placed, Zhao Xin's eyes quickly entered meditation, and a faint halo spread out around his body, enveloping Zhao Xin. With each oscillation of the halo, some of the surrounding barren rocks will be digested.

This is Zhao Xin's first retreat, and his body is like soaking in hot spring water, which is very comfortable, and he has completely forgotten the existence of time.

The energy of the barren stone is like a warm current, constantly moistening Zhao Xin's bloodline roots and the soul of the Xuanniao, with the nourishment of the energy of the barren stone, the hair on the body of the Xuanyao becomes more and more intense, and the originally somewhat sluggish Xuanniao soul also began to become cheerful. As his own soul, the great change in the state of Xuanniao also made Zhao Xin's spirit soar, and he felt a faint sense of detachment.

Zhao Xin has been collecting barren stones all along, from the small cave to the mine cave in the Great Wilderness Realm, the number of collections is also surprisingly large, it can be said that if all the barren stones of Zhao Xin are gathered together, it can be completely rich, that is to say, Zhao Xin's assets can completely exceed a clan without a mine.

But often God is not beautiful, Zhao Xin is like a miser, he has obviously collected countless barren stones, but he has never enjoyed them, and he has always made dowries for others. It was only this time that it was really used.

The time of cultivation has always been fast, Zhao Xin doesn't seem to feel anything, in fact, more than a year has passed, and in the end, it is because the barren rocks are gone, Zhao Xin woke up dimly.

"It's so comfortable"

Zhao Xin stood up and stretched his stiff limbs, Yang Yan's eyes swept away, and the small mountain bag that was already covered with grass suddenly cracked a hole.

"Squeak"

There was a slight biting sound in his ears, although it was extremely slight, but Zhao Xin heard it very brightly. When I heard the sound, I saw a small beast covered in scales and armor with a long pointed mouth crushed in the rubble.

"Pangolins?"

Zhao Xin stepped forward and found that it was indeed a pangolin, it should be because when it was drilling the mountain, it happened that he was breaking the mountain with Yang Yan, and it happened to be crushed in the rubble.

Seeing pangolins in such a place was also something Zhao Xin didn't expect, so he stepped forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed the pangolin with the thickness of his arm, put it on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the pangolin disappeared into the cave.

I moved my muscles and bones again, and with a bend of my legs, I catapulted out violently, and the person was already a few feet away from the mountain bag.

"The realm has not improved, but the body is a lot stronger" Feeling the very active Xuanniao Divine Soul in his body, Zhao Xin muttered. Although it cost more than 2,000 catties of barren stones to improve the realm, this was also expected by Zhao Xin, if it was so easy to promote the sixtieth armor, then wouldn't those clans with mines have a large number of high-level inheritors.

"Ahem"

Zhao Xin, who was originally refreshed, suddenly coughed dryly twice, and when Zhao Xin looked down, he was stunned, because he actually coughed up blood, or just after the retreat. If you want to cough up blood in your own realm, it is like looking forward to the moon without light, and it is difficult to reach the blue sky. This can only be the case when you are seriously injured, otherwise, there is only one possibility, and that is that your own people are about to die.

"Could it be that I have been in retreat for too long?" Zhao Xin asked himself, because his spirit had always been active, so Zhao Xin did not feel that time passed quickly, and he knew that his life was over.

After learning the bad news, Zhao Xin began to observe his body, although the Xuanniao's soul was radiant, but the beating of his blood roots was not so strong. Looking down at the originally strong body, there were criss-crossing fine wrinkles, the most obvious thing was that his silver hair was gone, replaced by a pale head.

"Is this what it's like to be old?" As soon as Zhao Xin's words came out, a strange and hoarse voice suddenly echoed in his ears.

"Is this my voice?" Zhao Xin didn't believe in evil, and said again, and when the hoarse voice reappeared with his own words, Zhao Xin finally compromised. At this moment, the joy I had just felt because of the enhancement had disappeared. Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhao Xin knew that he was really old after this moment, and he didn't feel anything before, and he always thought that he still had a long time. But from this moment on, he has completely entered his old age.

Reluctantly shake his spirits, although he feels that the world in front of him is hopeless, but he still has to choose to continue, after all, there is no turning back. In the next year or so, he can only choose to be promoted to the realm of Huajia and enter reincarnation.

"I'm going to speed up my trip" Zhao swore secretly in confidence, what he needs now is barren stones, endless barren stones, more than enough to promote himself to the realm of Huajia. (To be continued.) )
