Chapter 341: Preparing for Retreat
In the next twenty days, Zhou Shu's Xixiang Valley welcomed three batches of fellow cultivators.
Most of these cultivators are deacons and elders like Hao Ruoyan, they are here to inquire about the magic weapon, if something like this happens, they must always check it out, Zhou Shu, as an elder who has just arrived, they don't know about it, and they have checked it a lot of times.
Before each time they came, the Hao sisters would tell him in advance so that he could be prepared.
The sect's self-examination does not directly take the disciple's magic weapon as its own, but will cultivate it according to the disciple's situation, if it is a genius, if not, it will come up with enough resources to exchange. But for Keqing, if any clues are found, it may cost a lot to win it over, or it may disappear silently......
Zhou Shu didn't know what Liuxia Sect thought, but he obviously wouldn't reveal anything. In the face of all kinds of questions, Zhou Shu looked calm and answered calmly.
When he came for the third time, the deacon elder brought three disciples of the Condensation Realm, and he still asked the same question, and Zhou Shu also answered the same question.
After this time, they never came again.
Zhou Shu knows why.
Because among the three Condensation Realm disciples, one of them was a Yuanying Realm monk who was deliberately disguised, and her divine sense was amazing, and she had been probing in Zhou Shu's Xixiang Valley for a long time. The sect didn't want to offend Elder Keqing, she also thought that Zhou Shu didn't know, but she didn't know that Zhou Shu's divine sense was far from being comparable to the ordinary Condensation Realm, and she sensed her difference, but she didn't say anything, but calmly let her probe.
The final result, of course, was that nothing was found, and there was no trace of the refining weapon ever since. Zhou Shu didn't encounter any further inspections. It's business as usual.
But since then. He didn't take out the heavy gold sword again, this is someone else's territory in the end, and it can't be revealed.
Dingββ
The familiar bell rang.
"Look at the move!"
As soon as Zhou Shu walked to the mouth of the valley, a large green net with a width of five zhang came towards him.
That large net was not a substance, but a large amount of active wood aura gathered together, although it looked thin and somewhat vulnerable, but it was actually difficult to break up. Because the wood aura is intimate with each other, and if it is really covered, it is absolutely difficult to break free.
Because those wood auras that are growing all the time, once they touch the enemy, they will continue to grow all kinds of vines to entangle the enemy, or sticky, or have spikes, no matter how the enemy dodges, as long as the caster's spiritual power can keep up, the vines will never stop. The enemy could not escape.
However, that was only for enemies who were not familiar with the Wood Aura. It had no effect on Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu saw the big net cover coming, and his body didn't move, only smiled and stretched out three fingers. Fingers flew, and a stream of spiritual power came out, and the big net fell squarely on him, not only did not wrap him tightly, but obediently slid down, giving birth to a green lawn under his feet.
"I didn't get hit again......"
Hao Ruyun stood out from a bush, like a flower blooming in the grass, but the flower looked depressed.
She raised her head, glared at Zhou Shu and said, "Why can you always dodge? This time I obviously changed the way, did you hide your secrets, and deliberately didn't teach our sisters well, you say, you say!"
Her trick is the wood silk trick that Zhou Shuxin taught her, and it is also a derivative recipe of the wood introduction trick, but there are many changes, not only the restrictions of the big net, but also the strong defense and attack skills, and the practice is so powerful that it can gather all the wood aura within dozens of miles to form millions of sharp wooden thorns, or wooden fences as strong as city walls, and it is impossible to escape.
"You're already very good, it's just that I'm a little more familiar than you, and I can better mobilize the wood aura, so I can use the same technique to defuse it, and even fight back. Speaking of which, you also have to be careful, the ancient method similar to the Mu Si Jue is not suitable for dealing with cultivators who are familiar with it, otherwise it is very likely to set yourself on fire and hurt yourself in turn. β
Zhou Shu nodded and explained a few words carefully.
"Oh. β
Hao Yiyun puffed out his mouth and nodded as if he had realized, "I understand, but I still have some questions......"
"Come in. β
Zhou Shu smiled and nodded, and then beckoned to the blue shadow not far away, "Ruoyan girl, if you don't dislike it, let's communicate together." β
For Hao Ruoyan, Zhou Shu has changed his name, because of the best magic weapon, I feel that the relationship has become much closer.
"Whatever Master Shu says, if the smoke comes. β
Hao Ruoyan had some joy on her face, slowly approached, saluted Zhou Shu, and followed behind with a smile.
In the end, she is an elder of Jindanjing, and she is a sister, she has her own identity, and it is just enough to listen to Zhou Shu teach the method, but she is still a little embarrassed to ask questions like a student, so Zhou Shu takes the initiative to greet her every time so as to take care of her face.
......
Time passed day by day, the days were very dull and fulfilling, and there was a little bit of warmth, which was a good feeling.
Zhou Shu didn't mention the matter of the best magic weapon, and the two girls didn't talk about it, as if it hadn't happened.
"Ruoyan girl, Ruoyun girl, I'm sorry, I'm going to start a retreat tomorrow. β
Standing by the spiritual spring, Zhou Shu said softly, his face calm, but with a lot of excitement in his heart.
The long-awaited time has finally arrived, after such a long time, the first three changes of the Sea Treading Technique have been completely deduced by Zhou Shu, and he can start cultivating at any time.
This is a big day, and the trick of treading the sea will bring great changes to Zhou Shu's future.
"Ah, you're hiding again?"
Hao Ruyun immediately puffed out his mouth, "It's only been a long time since I learned it, I haven't learned a lot, and besides, I saw you use the Burst Flame Technique yesterday, why is the Burst Flame so small when I use it......?
"Well, not a lot of mouths. β
Hao Ruoyan frowned and interrupted her sister's Lianzhu question. She turned to Zhou Shu, and there were some doubts in her eyes, "Master Shu is in retreat at this time, does he have any new insights?"
Zhou Shu nodded indifferently, "Almost, I have some new ideas." β
"Well, Ruoyan congratulates Master Shu. β
It is very common for a cultivator to retreat at any time when he or she has an understanding. Hao Ruoyan bent down and congratulated him very sincerely, but there was still a trace of disappointment in his eyes, "How long will it take for Master Shu to retreat this time?"
Zhou Shu pondered for a moment, "It's as short as half a year, or as long as a year or two, it's hard to explain clearly." β
"Okay," Hao Ruoyan nodded, "Master Shu is in retreat, if there is anything outside, you can let us do it." During these days, Master Shu took a lot of care of our sisters, and he was also a teacher and a friend, and he just had to tell us something. β
Hao Yiyun walked over, his face was still a little dissatisfied, but his words were very sincere, "Well, you can retreat, if there is anything, I can help you, such as finding materials or something, I can do this." β
The two looked eagerly, obviously really wanting to help, but Zhou Shu was not easy to refuse, and his heart moved slightly.
"But there is something ......"
"Talk quickly, talk quickly, what are you talking about, it's the most annoying!"
"I want to ask you to help me secretly investigate a person, who is the worship of the Sea Tower, called Luo Ming ......"
Hao Ruyun patted his chest, "Okay, I'll help you find out, do you want to arrest him here?"
"A building in the sea?"
Hao Ruoyan also nodded, but his eyes were slightly stagnant, obviously a little worried. (To be continued.) )
