After the magic sword was broken, a huge wave of Qi erupted, full of malicious power trying to destroy everything around it.

The people present couldn't help but look shocked when they felt this change, but before they could defend themselves, one hand had already "grabbed" these Qi.

Ishikawa Shin blinked, looking at Zheng Shu, who was pinching a large ball of Qi as if he had caught an animal, and confirmed that he was not mistaken.

The Qi, which was supposed to be invisible and insubstantial, was as harmless and powerless as a ball of marshmallows pinched by a child.

"Is it because you have been infused with too much will?"

Zheng Shu casually crushed the soul hidden in the Qi, and sealed the Qi condensation in his hand that was trying to break through into a small bead the size of a glass ball.

"Okay, this matter is settled, I'm leaving, and you can take care of the rest of these people yourself." Zheng Shu casually stuffed the bead into his pocket, turned his head and said hello to Zhang Chulan.

"After all, if I help you solve these people, I guess some people will be unhappy." Glancing at Lu Ci who was eager to try next to him, Zheng Shu had no intention of interfering with this old guy's revenge.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry for you."

Zhang Chulan took the demon who had fallen into a coma thrown by Zheng Shu, and looked at the ninja next to him who had been a little relieved because Zheng Shu had lifted Long Wei, and was now staring at him, he smiled cheaply, and directly carried the demon behind Lu Ci.

"Pinch hahaha! You want him back? Get me! ”

Looking at Zhang Chulan, who was cheap, Zheng Shu shook his head helplessly, and no longer went to catch up with others, and took off straight to leave here.

"Hey, hey! Just let these people go to me? This little guy is so understanding! ”

Lu Ci saw Zheng Shu flying away, looking at the few ninjas in front of him who were surrounded by them, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

……

……

Back at the company's headquarters, Zheng Shu and Zhao Fangxu explained a little, and after getting the follow-up remuneration from him, they returned to Baiyunguan to receive Guan Shihua's remuneration.

"Hey, that's a lot more than I thought."

Zheng Shu looked at the messy remuneration in front of him, most of which were all kinds of wild medicinal herbs, which was also very in line with the specialties of the Northeast region.

Some of the minerals that Zheng Shu himself needs are not very many, but Zhao Fangxu's commission remuneration for him has already made up the remaining part of the need, so there is no big problem.

"What's next for you?" Xu Zhengning didn't know when he came behind Zheng Shu.

Looking at this disciple of his own, his eyes also showed irrepressible satisfaction.

"Master, you're here. There are some ideas that may need to be in retreat for a while, do I still have my original room? ”

"Retreat? It's okay, after going out for so long, it's time for you to summarize your gains a little. Xu Zhengning nodded, "As for your room, don't worry, I've been keeping it for you." When do you plan to start your retreat and how long will it take? ”

"Now, as for how long the retreat will last...... I don't know, but just in case, let's do it for a year or two. ”

Zheng Shu unconsciously touched the back of his hand, and he was a little unsure.

"So long?" Xu Zhengning was stunned for a moment.

Although Taoist practitioners occasionally go into retreat, they usually only retreat for a few weeks to a month, and only some very old people are likely to retreat for a few months.

It's not that there are no such annual retreats, but they generally don't happen to people as young as Zheng Shu.

However, recalling these peculiarities of his apprentices, Xu Zhengning was only slightly surprised and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, since you have an idea in your own mind, go ahead, and I'll help you turn down anyone who wants to visit you during this time."

"Hey, hey! Thank you, Master, you can arrange for these messes to be distributed to other brothers and sisters, and I'll go first! Zheng Shu smiled, bowed to his master, and then walked neatly towards his original room.

"So much do you have to give it up?" Xu Zhengning glanced at the pile next to him, which was about as high as others.

"Anyway, it's not of much use to me, you can take it if you see it useful to you!" Zheng Shu just responded from a distance, and the figure disappeared behind the house.

"This kid...... I'm so busy, how can I handle so many things for you. ”

Xu Zhengning looked at the pile of things in front of him, touching his forehead with some worry.

At this time, his eyes lit up, and on the other side, Liu Xingyang and several Taoist priests were talking and laughing and walked over from the side.

"Xingyang! Come here, a few of you! ”

Liu Xingyang, who was originally elated, collapsed after hearing Xu Zhengning's voice, and he suddenly had an intuition that his rest time today seemed to have disappeared inexplicably.

……

……

Back in his room, Zheng Shu took care of the mess and returned to the central futon.

The reason why he told Xu Zhengning that he was going to retreat was actually because Zheng Shu wanted to find time to reforge his god armament after collecting materials.

As for the one-year retreat, Xu Zhengning felt that it was a bit too long, but Zheng Shu felt that it was probably not enough, and it took him several years to complete it with the help of the god Hephaestus when he made the weapon of the gods.

Now that the main body of the God's armament has been completed, it has only become a thinking form hidden in Zheng Shu's body, and all that is needed is the recasting of the outermost shell.

But now he doesn't have the help of Hephaestus, and he's weaker than he was back then.

What's more, this time, in addition to reforging the weapon of the gods, Zheng Shu also has to use this process to study new technologies.

So he actually didn't know how long it would take him, and this retreat for a year was just a casual remark, Zheng Shu was afraid that he would talk about it for too long and his master would be worried.

Anyway, if there is not enough time, Zheng Shu will not be able to come out and rest for two days and then retreat again.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Zheng Shu gathered his mind, calmed down, and adjusted his state to the best.

When he opened his eyes again, his emotions and heart, which had been a little chaotic due to the busyness of various things in the past few days, had calmed down.

"It's not bad, so, it's ......"

Zheng Shu stretched out his palm, and with the activity of his mind, the divine weapon of the state of mind appeared in the center of the palm, emitting a faint light.

Compared to before, this light seemed much thicker, as if it was about to break through the walls of reality and thought.

This is what happened to Zheng Shu after collecting all the raw materials, and it is also the first thing he wants to start studying.

"Then let's start here - the study of the technology of thinking matter."

Zheng Shu made a few strokes in the air with his fingers, and a large amount of energy gathered in front of his eyes, forming one overlapping magic circle after another.

The various magic circles that had been researched while thinking in the Heavenly Kingdom overlapped in front of Zheng Shu's eyes, forming an observation-type super-composite technique that was more than ten centimeters long.

If placed in the Moon World, Zheng Shu's method of casting spells is unimaginable for modern magicians, and it is almost impossible for even magicians to reproduce it.

The only person who can reach this level is probably Solomon, who can be called the King of Magic.

And this kind of skill is only one of the insignificant techniques that Zheng Shu has mastered in the Heavenly Kingdom for nearly a thousand years.

The reason why he wanted to create such a circle was just to allow himself to observe more closely.

With Zheng Shu's current level of technology, when using this magic circle, he could even directly observe the changes in matter and energy at the quark level.

Of course, because of quark confinement, in many cases, quarks themselves cannot be directly observed, and Zheng Shu observes more basic particles at a higher level.

In addition to this observation spell, Zheng Shu also developed a series of spells for research.

With these technologies, Zheng Shu was able to continue his research even in the absence of any high-tech equipment.

"Come, let me Kangkang what you look like!"

Looking at the golden light in his hand, Zheng Shu's face showed a foolish smile.

……

……

In the following time, Zheng Shu lived a fairly regular life, and in addition to regular cultivation and eating, he studied every day.

Although he couldn't wait to reforge his divine armament, in fact, it was only after Zheng Shu's "retreat" for eight months that he really started.

After confirming that he had completed the data recording of all the data of the divine forces in front of him at the boundary between mind and matter, Zheng Shu began to officially reforge it.

And the process of reforging the god's armament was not what Zheng Shu expected, although Hephaestus had made the reforge process a fool's operation as much as possible, but the most basic energy supply still had to be extracted from his own body.

Fortunately, Hephaestus should have also taken into account part of Zheng Shu's situation, so the reforge of the God's Armament could be stopped at any time and rested, so Zheng Shu didn't make too much of a mess.

And in this process, Zheng Shu is also using various techniques to constantly record the changes in the weapons of the gods.

Occasionally, when encountering incomprehensible situations, he will pause in time, and use the "kingdom of heaven", relying on the almost infinite time difference between the kingdom of heaven and the outside world to think carefully.

In the process, Zheng Shu also roughly calculated the time it would take for the God's Weapon to be reforged.

If he had given up all the mess and tried his best to provide energy, the God's Armament could be reforged in about three years.

But this didn't really do Zheng Shu any good, so he went out early after he was sure that he could stop reforging the god's armament at any time.

Every day, I just set aside a little fixed time to reforge the god's armament, and record various data changes during this time, and the rest of the time is mainly to think and study these data in addition to dealing with some miscellaneous matters.

In this way, the time for the recasting of the Divine Armament was greatly extended, and according to Zheng Shu's estimate, it would take about eight to ten years.

However, for Zheng Shu, who has spent nearly a thousand years in the kingdom of heaven, this time is not too long.

During his retreat, the outside world was not actually peaceful.

The most important thing is probably that the state used to collect the magic metal smelted after Zheng Shu unfolded the resurrection circle twice as a material, and after thoroughly studying the resurrection circle, he successfully performed a resurrection ritual independently.

This resurrection ritual resurrected not someone in China, but the patriarch of a top chaebol family in a Western country.

The various benefits traded through this resurrection can be regarded as a lot of money even for the size of the country, and this terrifying benefit makes many people red-eyed on the spot.

As a result, the importance attached to the resurrection circle by various countries immediately rose to the highest level.

It's a pity that things don't always go so smoothly, not to mention the specific details of the blocked resurrection circle, just the magic metal required to cast the resurrection circle is a barrier in front of other countries.

That is, the power that Zheng Shu showed at the beginning was too terrifying, so it dispelled the minds of a large number of people.

Otherwise, it is estimated that there will be many people in the country who want to arrest Zheng Shu and make him a slave in making magic metal.

Zheng Shu's retreat caught many people off guard, but they didn't dare to disturb him because of his strength.

It's not that no one wants to gain Zheng Shu's favor by currying favor, but all the forces that are interested in the resurrection circle are concerned here, and whoever dares to make the first move will become everyone's target.

So strangely, the entire Baiyun Temple was obviously at the center of this incident, but it inexplicably became the calmest place in this huge whirlpool.

And without Zheng Shu, the only source that can provide magic metal, relying only on the magic metal collected in the previous two rituals, he can only cast two more resurrection circles at most.

After that, due to the consumption in the process of casting the circle, the total amount of magic metal will fall below the minimum level that can set up a resurrection circle.

After confirming the authenticity of the resurrection circle, the outside world has a terrifying demand for this kind of resurrection circle, and even the influence has exceeded the scope that the company can bear, and finally it was stabilized by the state.

But in order to solve the contradiction between demand and supply, the company has to find another way to find a new source of magic metal.

"Tsk, so, the company sent you over?"

Zheng Shu was wearing a Taoist robe, standing next to the gate of Baiyun Temple, looking at the king in front of him and raising his eyebrows.

"That's not it, it's just that now there are some problems, and I really can't help it, so I can only come to you." Wang also sighed helplessly.

He still looked tired, even more tired, and the dark circles under his eyes were a little unconcealable.
