The old man didn't pay much attention to Feng Ruo's actions, and it wasn't until more than an hour later that Feng Ruo stood up and left, and he said lightly!

"Not bad!"

Feng Ruo was stunned when he heard this, but then he bowed down and bowed, turned around and left!

After that, Feng Ruo used the eight retreat jade tablets to receive all kinds of subsidies due in the next twenty years, and finally returned to his courtyard in the Jianxin Academy, and now he is already an official disciple of the Jianxin Academy, so he is already eligible for a Tianzihao courtyard!

Of course, the so-called Tianzihao courtyard does not refer to how luxurious and spacious it is, but to the good location and the high level of spiritual wood in the courtyard, and that's it, in fact, no cultivator will really care about that.

Like Feng Ruo's Tianzi courtyard, it is also the same as an ordinary courtyard, except for a spirit tree that is more than a hundred years old, there are three ordinary houses, one of which can be used as a meditation room for cultivation, one can be used for receiving guests, and the last one can be used as a Dan room or refining room!

It's just that now due to the retreat, Feng Ruo can't use those two houses for the time being!

After rearranging the defensive formation of the entire courtyard, Feng Ruo took out the eight retreat jade plates again, combined them with the positive and negative nine-star formations, and immediately drove the magic after confirming that it was correct!

Soon, with the drive of the magic technique, eight green and heroic rays of light suddenly rose from the original silver-white positive and negative nine-star formation, and this light directly penetrated the sky above the courtyard and penetrated into the nine heavens!

And the time was not long, and the sky that originally looked empty suddenly flashed with water-colored ripples, and immediately after, eighteen water-colored ripples fell outside Feng Ruo's courtyard, and suddenly his positive and negative nine-star formation also turned blue-white!

And the appearance of this light also means that this retreat formation is officially activated, from now on, all information from the outside world cannot be transmitted to this courtyard, unless something major happens in the Zhentian Sect, facing the moment of life and death, he will be awakened from the retreat!

Until the water-colored ripples in the sky completely disappeared again" Feng Ruo couldn't help but sigh, this sect's protective array is really extraordinary, the power is tens of millions of times stronger than the positive and negative nine-star formation, it is really hard to imagine how many strange and vast things there are in this immortal cultivation world!

"Jin Dan, spirit infant, distraction, void, tribulation and even Mahayana, this is already an unimaginable height" But in the mouth of the blue bird, it is just the beginning, so what is behind it?

Talking to himself, Feng Ruo unsealed the white-haired ghost bat and the silver-armored heavenly spider!

"You two, let's also cultivate here in peace! The spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual wood in this courtyard is enough for you to absorb "Twenty years later, we'll see you again!"

After instructing the two of them a few words, Feng Ruo walked to the quiet room in the courtyard, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned to look at the Silver Armor Heavenly Spider and smiled: "Silver Armor, can you still gnaw on that bone?" I told you, if you still can't gnaw after twenty years, I will take that thing and give it away!"

Haha, Feng Ruo returned directly to the quiet room, and then sat down cross-legged, "First of all, I thought carefully about my cultivation process since I entered the immortal cultivation realm, and then calmly cleared all distracting thoughts little by little.

The goal of his retreat this time is not to advance to the middle stage of foundation building, because for him at this moment, there is almost no difficulty, and there are only two things he has to do, first, sort out and consolidate and develop the realm he is currently in, and at the same time integrate the two exercises he cultivates, the Aoki Spiritual Technique and the Black Water Spiritual Technique, so that it can form an effective set of cultivation and rest systems, without all kinds of messy problems!

Second, on the basis of the first thing, to maintain the cultivation of the mind as a mirror, not only to ensure the increase of mana, but also to ensure that these increased mana are compressed and refined, and finally reach the top of the early stage of foundation building" naturally enters the middle stage of foundation building!

And in these 20 years, he must abstain from all impetuousness, restlessness, and contradictions, "have scruples, and truly achieve the heart as if the water is stopped!" Isolate everything related to himself from the outside world" or irrelevant things, not ruthless, not to see through, not to give up, not to be nostalgic!

Rather, he had to learn to give up!

This time will be Feng Ruo's first retreat in the true sense since he stepped into the realm of cultivating immortals, not only to increase his cultivation and realm, but also to be a kind of enlightenment and detachment from his half-life experience of wandering, life and death!

And the last point, that is, the first tentative challenge to the mysterious, completely irreversible, invincible, unknowable, unsearchable Heavenly Dao!,

Of course, winning or losing cannot be determined, and it can even be said that it doesn't matter, but you must be full of spirit and go all out to catch up, otherwise, at the moment of turning around, the loser will definitely be Feng Ruo himself!

In the right hall of the deacons of the lower three courtyards of Zhentian Sect, a group of cultivators were looking at various black jade slip tasks with a relaxed expression, but this person was Tang Qing, Peng Yue and others.

Now the two of them have officially advanced to the early stage of foundation building more than ten years ago, and even with Kong Fei, Yan Ming also officially advanced a few years ago, they seem to be extremely capable, and their speech and demeanor have long lost the youthfulness and lack of confidence they were back then.

"Let's just do these dozen tasks! I hope I can get enough of the Five Elements Stone for me to buy a top-grade magic weapon! Otherwise, the assessment of joining the Upper Third Academy this year may be in vain again!." Tang Qing said a little depressedly, "I wondered, could it be that Feng Ruo's kid didn't have luck with shit back then? However, in the later stage of Qi refining, he became a preparatory disciple of the Upper Third Academy, and he immediately became a formal disciple after successfully building the foundation, and now I have been building the foundation for more than ten years, and I can't even qualify as a preparatory disciple!

"Hehe, Tang Qing, don't say it, can you compare with Feng Ruo? I think only Senior Sister Lan can compare, she can stay in that terrifying place in the Five Elements Realm for six years before, and advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, this strength is afraid that even Feng Ruo will be dumbfounded!. Peng Yue sighed a little.

"Hmph! Peng Yue! Don't speak, I won't believe you when I kill you in the future!. Tang Qing pointed at Peng Yue angrily and said, "You keep saying that you can refine high-grade magic weapons, but I kindly gave you my piece of refined dark iron that I have treasured for many years, you are good, and in the end you actually refined a lump of waste slag!!"

"Okay, okay, Tang Qing, don't be unforgiving, how can a top-grade magic weapon be so easy to refine, don't we all accompany you to do the task to make up for the loss? The main thing is that you have to correct your mentality, even if you can't join the upper third courtyard? Aren't we all in the lower third courtyard? No one will laugh at you! At this time, Qu Yun on the side persuaded that he was still in the early stage of foundation building, but he did not have the taste of a profiteer in the past, and his age was a few years older than in the crowd, so he looked the most calm!

Seeing Qu Yun speak, Tang Qing had no choice but to shut up, although Qu Yun joined Zhentian Sect later than them, but after all, it took a long time to build the foundation, plus his extremely perverted spirit beast Flying Red Bird, his strength was the strongest among Tang Qing's people, and it was with his help that Yan Ming and Kong Fei, who were the weakest, successfully built the foundation these years!

"Anyway, so much time has passed, it's time for Feng Ruo to get out of the customs, right?" Senior Sister Lan also asked before, I hope that Feng Ruo's strength can go to the next level this time, in that case, we will all go to the Five Elements Realm to do tasks, it will only take three years, and we are guaranteed to make a lot of money!" 1 Yan Ming, who was on the side at this time, suddenly interjected.

"Don't dream about it, fatty, don't think that if you learn the advanced fire ball spell of the fireball spell, you can be invincible in the world, besides, no matter how strong Feng Ruo is, he can be stronger than Senior Sister Lan! Senior Sister Lan has warned us that before entering the middle stage, it is best not to go to the Five Elements Realm, Feng Ruo may be able to protect himself now, but he will definitely not be able to protect you!"

"Don't call me fat again!Tang Qing, how many times have I told you!. Yan Ming said angrily, he is actually not fat at all now.

"Hey, hey, one day for fat, for life, you have the ability, you come to bite me! Tang Qing accompanied by a grimace, somersaulting backwards, falling five or six feet away, just wanted to turn around and run, but without warning, a big hand grabbed his shoulder!

"Get out of the way! Dare to provoke the five wicked people in my lower three courts, are you impatient? . Tang Qing shook his shoulder very arrogantly and wanted to shake that hand away, but he didn't expect a strong force to come, and before he could react, he was thrown out a few feet away!

After Tang Qing bounced off the ground in anger, he just wanted to beckon Qu Yun and the others to make a move, but then he was stunned, because what appeared in front of him was an extremely familiar face!

"The five wicked people, I think it's right to call the five hungry, look at your look, frizzy, and I just heard someone doubting my strength, so good, don't say I didn't give you a chance!"

Feng Ruo smiled and teased, but his gaze swept over Tang Qing, Qu Yun, Peng Yue and others!

"Wow! Feng Ruo, you're out of the customs! Hahaha..." After being stunned for a long time, Tang Qing shouted excitedly, but then he closed his mouth as if he had seen a ghost! Then he screamed, "In the middle of foundation building? No, I want to retreat! No, I want to retreat! Don't any of you stop me! Whoever doesn't stop me, I'm in a hurry!"

"Tang Qing, don't go crazy anymore! Feng Ruo, congratulations! We were still talking about when you would be out of the customs just now, but I didn't expect you to appear in a blink of an eye! Qu Yun said with a smile, and Peng Yue and the others also stepped forward to congratulate at this time.

However, after some cold noise, Zhang Yue suddenly looked Feng Ruo carefully up and down, left and right for a long time, and then said very suspiciously: "No, Feng Ruo, you are obviously already a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, but why do I feel the same as before, nothing has changed, and there is no such flamboyant momentum as other cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building!"

Hearing Peng Yue say this, Qu Yun and the others also nodded, because they also noticed this!
