Chapter 442: Retreat
With the subtlety of Shen Luo's water control technique, and sneaking underwater, even if Jubaotang sent someone to follow him, he should have been thrown off.
Although this move was too cautious, it had to be done for the safety of his own life.
"It's still not strong, so we have to be more cautious in the future. Shen Luo admonished himself again, and then glanced around.
This is a remote area located by a river, and he listened attentively to the conversations of the residents in the distance, and soon learned that this is the "Quchi Fang" in the east of the city, and the famous royal garden Furong Garden is nearby.
Shen Luo's face was groaning, thinking about his next plan.
If you want to ensure your own safety, leaving Chang'an City is the best way, but if you leave here, I am afraid that you will never find a second place with such abundant immortal cultivation resources.
"There are millions of residents in Chang'an City, and I am hiding in it, as long as I don't make trouble, I can't find it. Moreover, there are many forces from all walks of life here, although the power of the Treasure Hall is large, but it can't cover the sky with one hand, so I still stay here first and improve my cultivation. He weighed it in his heart and quickly made a decision.
Shen Luo kneaded his face with both hands a few times, changed into another appearance, and walked towards Quchifang.
Half a day later, he disguised himself as a merchant from other places and bought a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere as his place to stay.
Quchifang is located in a remote area, and it is inhabited by lower-class people of three ways and nine streams, and the mobility of personnel is extremely high, which is suitable for hiding and traveling.
Then, Shen Luo changed into another appearance, came to another nearby fang district and hired a messenger to deliver a letter to Zhou Tie of Changping Fang.
In his letter, he talked about leaving Chang'an City for a period of time, so that he could not worry, and at the same time, he used cryptic words to ask Zhou Tie to inform Xie Yuxin that the residence had been discovered by Jubaotang, and suggested that Xie Yuxin move elsewhere.
After doing this, Shen Luo was no longer distracted, returned to his new residence, and began to prepare for the next retreat.
This small courtyard was specially selected by him, and it is very close to the Quhe River outside Quchifang.
He summoned the sea caterpillar Maochun, and using its ability to drill into the ground, combined with his water-resisting skills, he quickly excavated an underground passage connecting the well in the courtyard and the Qu River.
With this passage, Shen Luo felt a lot more at ease.
He then assembled a simple underwater platform from a few wooden pillars and a stone slab in the well, where he soon began his retreat.
However, he didn't start cultivating immediately, but first took out three life-prolonging milk elixirs, picked up one and took it with his head up.
The elixir melted in his mouth, turning into a cold air stream and entering his lower abdomen.
This air flow emitted an unbelievable cold air, which made Shen Luo's body tremble, and his cheeks quickly flushed with a layer of blue and black.
But the cold air flow circled twice in his body, and suddenly his breath changed, and it turned from cold to scorching.
And his face quickly turned from blue to red, and there was even heat rising above his head.
But it didn't take long for the scorching heat to turn cold again.
Such alternating between hot and cold, Shen Luo's body is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, constantly experiencing the baptism of ice and fire, but his spirit is getting better and better, and his eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
Half an hour later, the aura of the elixir melted into his body.
Shen Luo's body also returned to its original state, and he was overjoyed.
There was no discomfort in his whole body at the moment, all the fatigue and pain were swept away, and the essence blood consumed by refining the Pure Yang Sword Embryo before seemed to have been replenished by most of it.
What's more, he could vaguely feel that the vitality in his body that had disappeared for a long time had returned a lot, which was a sign of an increase in longevity.
Shen Luo did not continue to take the second milk elixir, but crossed his knees to absorb the remaining medicinal power in his body.
Three days later, all the medicinal power in his body was absorbed by his body, and he continued to take the second milk elixir.
And seven days later, he also took the third milk elixir.
Shen Luo sat cross-legged in the well, his face was full of blood and red light, and all the essence blood consumed by the previous sword refining had been recovered.
According to his estimates, his life should have been restored for about fifty years.
"Finally, I don't have to worry about Shouyuan for the time being, and I can cultivate with peace of mind. Shen Luo let out a long breath.
Shen Luo put his thoughts away, closed his eyes, and silently recalled the cultivation experience of the Bigu period that he had summarized in his dream, then took out the jade bottle containing the duality true water, poured out a drop and smeared it on his skin.
A strong water spirit power seeped into his body, and the mana in his dantian operated on its own without urging.
Shen Luo took a deep breath and immediately used the nameless exercise to absorb the water spirit qi contained in the duality true water.
The water spirit qi contained in the dual-element true water is far better than the original three-element true water, and the nameless exercises are extremely active, and they can run for a week in the blink of an eye, which is not inferior to the cultivation in the dream realm.
He ran the Nameless Exercise to absorb the dualistic true water, feeling the water spirit qi in the duality true water being absorbed by his body little by little, and at the same time, the power of the water spirit gathered from the water veins at the bottom of the well and merged into Shen Luo's body.
Chang'an City is the hub of the spiritual veins of Nanzhan Buzhou, with a strong spiritual aura, and the water spiritual energy gathered is also considerable.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Shen Luo's mouth.
According to the current cultivation situation, it seems that it will not take long to reach the peak of the Bigu Period, and it seems that the choice left by himself is the right one.
......
Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the end of the year is approaching, and the weather is already cold.
As soon as dawn broke, the city was covered with cold fog, and the winding river was also covered with fog, but fortunately, the river was not frozen, and a fishing boat was fishing along the river.
There were four or five fishermen on board, dark-skinned, with rough hands and feet, all of whom looked like people who had been begging for a living on the water for many years.
A strong man standing at the bow of the boat swung his body and was about to cast the fishing net in his hand.
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound came from the bottom of the river, where there seemed to be a thunderstorm, and countless large and small turbulent whirlpools suddenly emerged on the originally calm river surface, splashing water droplets, splashing water, and the whole river surface seemed to be boiling.
The air on the surface of the river also swept up, and a strong wind blew away the fog.
The fishing boat was also swept up in the whirlpool, dripping and spinning, but fortunately, the people on the boat reacted extremely quickly, jumped into the cabin as soon as possible, and were not thrown off.
However, the vision in the river did not last long, and after a few breaths, it returned to calm.
"Boss, what's going on? Is there a monster at the bottom of this river?" asked the strong fisherman who was about to cast his net before, looking at the gradually calming river, and still palpitating towards the boat.
The captain of the boat was an old man of about sixty years old, holding a dry tobacco pouch in his hand, his face was full of wind and frost, although he was also shocked at the moment, but he was much calmer than the others.
