Finally, the first retreat began.

Although the stone chamber is closed by a stone door, there is still a faint light inside. Zuo Hu sat cross-legged on the stone bed, his fingers tapping the beast tooth totem on his arm as usual. It was a storage ornament that had been transformed into a tattoo pattern.

The brilliance flickered, and the demon beast egg appeared between the left guard's hands.

Silently looking at what was called a monster egg, Zuo Hu thought of his mother.

Although he was often bullied in Xianyang Sect before, with his mother by his side, he would comfort and encourage him in time. Mother's love is selfless, and Zuo Hu didn't know how to cherish it before. I always take that love for granted, and I only know how to accept it stupidly.

But here, no matter what is sweet or bad, you can only fight it yourself. It has not been ten days since I entered Chiba Palace, but I have experienced so many things. Except for Xiang Ning, who established a friendship because of his rescue, Zuo Hu felt that his popularity was not much better than when he was in Xianyang Sect.

Thinking of Xiangning, Zuo Hu fell into deep thought.

Maybe it's because I've never made a close friend before. This gentle and touching girl made him care a lot. Therefore, I secretly made up my mind that I must definitely work hard to cultivate, no longer lose face in front of others, and become a big hero in Xiangning's mind again!

In addition, the two hundred spirit stones that Xiang Ning advanced for him also have to find a way to pay it back....

Gently rubbing the demon beast egg in his hand, it attracted its brilliance.

"Ah Cai, Ah Cai, I will definitely work hard to cultivate, not only to become a great hero of Xiangning, but also to unseal you! Let those who look down on me and the Zuo clan be impressed!"

Ah Cai is the name that Zuo Hu privately gave to this colorful monster egg. Ever since he got it, Zuo Hu took it out whenever he had free time, and sometimes he would naively say a few words to the beast egg to relieve his boredom. There is always the illusion that the egg already has consciousness and even emotion.

When you tell it something you are happy about, it will appear in brilliant colors. When talking about worries, the eggs become calm, as if they are listening. So Zuo Hu worries that if he always puts it in the storage charm, will it make it feel lonely?

This kind of ridiculous idea is estimated to have only been possessed by Zuo Hu for thousands of years.....

So I simply regarded it as a friend who couldn't speak, and complained to him if I had nothing to do.

The most important point is that this beast egg is now like the spiritual pillar of Zuo Hu, and when I see it, I think of my mother. When I saw it, I thought of my mission, and I thought of carrying the burden of a prosperous family.

It is a goal, an expectation. Maybe when the foundation is built, I can wake it up with my blood!

Putting the eggs aside, the left guard took a few deep breaths. "Let's practice together!"

Straighten your waist, close your eyes, and begin to relax.

The Na Ling Mind Method is divided into three layers, one is the marrow, the so-called marrow is through one's own mind, channeling the meridians of the whole body. The second is condensation, through the mind, the meridians that have been opened up form the internal circulation pathways of the body to converge in the dantian. The third is Na Ling, which will pass the spiritual power of the outside world through the skin, into the body, run through the meridians, and will condense in the dantian, forming an aura cyclone between the dantian. In this way, the monk entered the condensation period. There is a limit to the size of the cyclone at the monk's dantian, which is the bottleneck of the monk, what to do is to break through the limit, so that the cyclone is getting bigger and bigger, and finally, when it reaches the fifteenth layer of the condensation period, the cyclone will become more and more condensed, once it breaks through, the cyclone will become liquid, forming gold liquid, and it will advance and become a foundation building monk.

Today's Zuo Hu has already experienced the passage of the marrow and condensation, and what he has to do now is to Na Ling.

According to the requirements of the mental method, Zuo Hu completely settled, and used his mind to turn the qi of the dantian into suction, and slowly, he felt the spiritual power around him moving closer to him, drilling into the pores of the skin, and following the meridians, into the dantian.

With the passage of time, the spiritual power vortex at the left protection dantian slowly rotated, becoming more abundant.

In fact, Zuo Hu's comprehension is quite high, and he has long been familiar with the cultivation method, but it is very strange, all along, the speed at which the cyclone at his dantian absorbs spiritual power is much slower than that of ordinary people, which is also the reason why his cultivation is low and his cultivation speed is slow, and he is called a waste wood.

Cultivation speed is very important for monks, because if the cultivation speed is fast enough, there will be more time to pursue higher cultivation. The chance of becoming a master in the Dan Period, or even the Transformation Period, will increase. On the contrary, it is possible to lose access to the avenue and end up dying in the long river of years.

Therefore, Zuo Hu is haunted by this defect of himself.

But he didn't find that when the cyclone at the dantian was spinning, there was a faint layer of gold flowing, if there were monks above the Dan stage who carefully explored through their divine sense, they would be surprised to find that only the left protector on the first floor of the condensation stage actually had the breath of Zhujin Dan in his body!

There is a kind of person in the world of cultivating immortals, with a special physique, who can screen the quality in the spiritual power and absorb it, because the requirements for spiritual power and immortal power are very high, so the speed of absorption is quite slow, and the people with such a physique are quite rare, almost one in a thousand, and it is not easy to be recognized, so it is treated by many people as an inferior immortal with incomplete spiritual roots. However, the quality of the spiritual power or immortal power absorbed by a person with such a physique is equivalent to a hundred times that of the same level, and when facing the advanced bottlenecks of foundation building, knotting pills, and transforming gods, the risk will be reduced by more than half. And longevity is long!

Immortal cultivators with this kind of physique are called Xuanwu Immortals in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Perhaps the Shura bloodline of the Zuo clan, which had been dormant for many years, was awakening from Zuo Hu. Let it have this rare basalt immortal body!

However, there are pros and cons, and that is that the progression speed is quite slow.

Unknowingly, this defect in the constitution can lead to frustration to the point of low self-esteem. Once this inferiority complex reaches the extreme, it will make the immortal cultivator with the physique of a basalt immortal give up on himself. In the end, it evolved into real waste wood, which can only make the legend regretfully buried in the legend.

Fortunately, Zuo Hu never thought of giving up.

Besides, he didn't notice a strange phenomenon happening around him!

The demon beast egg that was resting on the side had faded its colored brilliance at this time, turning into a slightly dull purple, and in the spiritual power absorbed by the left guard, a stream of spiritual energy was submerged into the demon beast egg. As it is absorbed, it rises and falls regularly.

It's like a sleeping cat breathing steadily.

..........

...........

The words are divided into two ends. When Zuo Hu and Xiang Ning were in retreat, Lan Bing, as the master, appeared in a gloomy hall of the Dark Sect. There were already more than a dozen monks in the hall wearing masks and dark guard suits, standing there silently. The same mask, the same leather armor bracers. The same breath makes it impossible to tell which of them is who.

"Oh, Blue Ice.... Since you were assigned to be the third grade master of Tianzimen, I haven't seen you for some days. I don't know who greeted her under the mask.

Lan Bing's eyes swept over these secret guards, and he couldn't tell which acquaintance he had just greeted him. It's been a long time since she left the Dark Sect, but this familiar mystery still makes her feel depressed. This time, even the former members of the secret guard were summoned to do the task, and it seems that the current situation in the country of Tailuo is quite not optimistic.

Lan Bing sighed deeply, and couldn't help but complain, "The Chiba Palace is becoming more and more harsh on its own monks! As soon as I was assigned the task of training four immortal dead soldiers, he summoned me back to the Dark Sect. It's a hassle to think about!"

Hearing this, one of the guards lowered his voice and said, "It's better to be careful when you speak, after all, these are extraordinary times." In the past, you complained a few words, it was not a big deal, but now the top management is very sensitive, and it is not good if someone catches the handle. ”

Lan Bing snorted disdainfully, but really stopped talking.

With a flick of his hand, a mask of the Dark Guard appears, and he puts it on his face. The body blurred for a while, and the original clothes turned into dark guard clothes. At this time, she stood with the dozen or so secret guards, waiting for the others to arrive.

If the reason for the urgent assembly of the Dark Sect is that there is a major event in the Chiba Palace that is enough to shake its authority.

Ye Zhong is dead!

The big and small sects in the outside world guessed correctly. The clouds of victory that day were scattered by the thunderstorm were a sign of Ye Chong's failure to win the championship and passed away!

That's why the Chiba Palace will issue an edict in advance. and a series of actions such as recruiting dead soldiers, giving the elixir of suppression, and forcing the signing of mountain gate contracts with domestic sects.

Although Chiba Palace blocked the news of Ye Chongyuan's death, it still made people feel the breath of the storm. Some of the neighboring Xiuzhen countries in Tailuo Country are also constantly testing the truth of the news of Ye Chong's death, and even some sects in Tailuo Country are also taking this opportunity to plot rebellion.

All this made the Chiba Palace executives very nervous.

In order not to cause panic in the palace, the masters of each sect ordered the masters to find a reason to let the low-level monks retreat and avoid the disaster. After all, for a big event like this, the cultivation of Zuo Hu and the others would not be useful.

In a small golden hall in the palace building of Chiba Palace, several leaders of Chiba Palace are discussing secret matters.

Muzan sat at the top of the list. His eyebrows and hair were gray, and his short beard looked a little stiff. The light of the eyes is deep and majestic. Dressed in a fancy dress.

He was holding a sword solemnly in his hand at this time. It was a rather quaint black greatsword, and the golden hedron inlaid with the hilt of the sword was eye-catching. Exuding bursts of coercion, this is no ordinary sword.

Mu He, who was sitting on the left hand, saw this sword, the essence in his eyes flashed, and a trace of jealousy was quickly hidden, his face was white and beardless, his cheeks were a little thin, and his high cheekbones were highlighted.

As Mu Zan's junior brother, Mu He has always been suppressed by his senior brother in Chiba Palace.

Two months ago, Ye Chong, the last head of the Ye Zi generation of the Chiba Palace, failed to win the championship and died, on the occasion of frequent death, Ye Chong gave up reincarnation, used his soul, condensed the winning spar, and set it on the dragon soul fairy blade, so that this blade had the power to win the championship, and handed it over to Mu Zan. It was the black sword in Mu Zan's hand.

Now Mu Zan has changed from a senior brother to his master. Jean Muhe was secretly quite unconvinced. In the past, due to the heavy wood of the leaf heavy instrument, Mu He could only suppress his ambitions. But now I still have to pretend to be a grandson seriously, and I feel aggrieved when I think about it.

Only a few people in the palace know about the new head of the Chiba Palace. Most people weren't even sure that Ye Chong had passed away.

The reason why Chiba Palace wants to block the news is because, according to the investigation of the Dark Sect, there are many sects in Tailuo that secretly collude with the Oniqiu Kingdom to rebel. Nothing is calm, and Muzan needs some time to prepare a plan. The sword in his hand was the trump card of that plan. Others may have guessed that Ye Chong died, but absolutely no one would have guessed that Ye Chong kept the Winning Crystal when he died.

Muzan grasped his sword and stood up. His gaze swept over Mu He's face, and then at Nori, who was sitting at the end. Dianshao is an elder-level immortal guard of Chiba Palace, a cultivator in the early stage of incarnation, and a henchman cultivated by Mu He.

"The matter of the Dragon Soul Blade must be kept secret, this is the best time to kill the traitorous immortals in one fell swoop and pull out the chess pieces planted by the Ghost Hill Country in our country, you must not miss it, if someone spoils my big event, don't blame this palace for not thinking about the same door!"

Mu Zan's voice was like a bell, and a few words were tough, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Mu He's face was a little ugly, and he thought, isn't this for himself? Mu Zan has always been suspicious of his own forces, and he is on guard everywhere, and now he is beating himself with words.

But now that this senior brother has taken office, Mu He decided to grit his teeth first and let him set three fires!

"Please rest assured, I will do a good job of secrecy, and everything will be arranged according to the plan. Dian Shao saw that Mu Zan was not at ease with Mu He, and as Mu He's person, he immediately began to express his position. He can do that. Not only because of his high cultivation, but also because he is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing.

Mu Zan hummed lightly, and turned his gaze to Mu Zhong on the right side.

"Recently, there have been a lot of affairs in the palace, so Senior Brother Mu Zhong should not retreat during this time and help take care of the affairs in the palace. ”

Mu Zhong was sitting there with his eyes closed at this time, and when he heard Mu Zan's words, he only nodded.

But Muzan didn't care, and his attitude towards him was also very respectful. Because this Mu Zhong is the highest cultivation of the Mu Zi generation. The Great Perfection in the late stage of the transformation of the gods, second only to Ye Chong, who passed away, this person is a cultivator, Ye Chong did not pass on the position of the palace master to him It is precisely for this reason, he only knows cultivation, and a person who only knows cultivation cannot deal with things in the palace, so he has just entered the late stage of the transformation of the gods, and he is also very shrewd and upright.

His eyes flickered with a deep light.

"Although Ye Chong's palace master's death, we have always kept it a secret. However, that day's victory in Longyun is a fact that cannot be concealed, as long as there is a person with a heart, he will definitely detect the clues! The Ghost Hill Country will definitely make some moves in the gap between our Tailuo Kingdom. ”

He tightened the dragon soul blade in his hand and looked at it carefully with fanatical emotion.

"Qiu Jian of the Mushen Sect, although you have been very hidden in the past eight hundred years, do you really not know anything? Although I don't know how you soared from the Yuan Infant to the Great Perfection of the late stage of the Transformation of God in these eight hundred years!, but this time you are dead!" he said slowly as if talking to himself.

Mu He frowned, thinking to himself, the information about Qiu Jian has always been in charge of Dian Shao, and Dian Shao has always been working for himself, this Mu Zan has just taken over the position of palace master, how can he know about this top secret? Could it be that Ye Zhong has other intelligence means besides the Dark Sect? Thinking of this, Mu He glanced at Dian Shao.

Could it be a pawn.... No, could it be Mu Zan's divisive plan, Mu He shook his head secretly, and decided to ignore these things for now.

With a more humble expression, he asked respectfully: "Since the palace master already knows that Qiu Jian is still alive and has a rebellion, why don't you immediately send the Dark Sect to deal with it?"

Mu Zan shook his head, "We are facing an unprecedented crisis, so we can't waste our strength on these people yet, listen to my orders, and invite the ancestor of the Eye God Sect to come to the palace in the name of the Lord of Ye Chong Palace." There is another matter that requires Mu and his junior brother to act secretly, so please stay for a while, Mu Zhong and Dianshao, you can leave first. ”

Mu Zhong simply left the Golden Palace, and Dian Shao glanced at Mu He and left in a hurry. This Mu Zan's mind has now become very meticulous, and some things may not even be able to be detected by the deputy sect master of the Dark Sect, and he feels that Mu Zan does not trust him very much.

After Mu Zhong and Dian Shao left, only Mu Zan and Mu He were left in the Golden Palace.

After a moment of silence, Mu Zan turned to look at Mu He. At this time, his face was slightly haggard and old. The calm eyes revealed a little gentleness, and Mu He was a little uncomfortable when he looked at him.

"Palace.... What does the palace master command, just say....."

Mu Zan interrupted him with a smile and waved his hand, "When there are no outsiders, you still call me senior brother." ”

“.... Yes, brother. ”

Mu He was a little confused by his sudden easy-going neatness, since Mu Zan took over the position of palace master, he has the majesty of a superior person, and he has become more and more estranged from this senior brother. Unexpectedly, the current Muzan once again made him feel a trace of warm feelings that had disappeared for a long time, and he subconsciously changed his words.

Mu Zan placed the black sword on the sword stand behind the Taishi's chair, turned around and sat on the Taishi's chair.

"Senior brother.... I have always known that your abilities and deeds are not inferior to mine, or even superior to me....."

Kiwa was taken aback.

I just wanted to say something humble, but I saw Mu Zan waving his hand, "Senior brother listen to me finish speaking...."

“...... During the battle of the kingdom of Bendao, you also made great contributions. However, when Ye Chongyuan passed away, he still passed the position of palace master to me, maybe just because I was a senior brother. It's natural that you're not convinced. ”

When Mu He heard this, he was even more panicked, this is an extraordinary period, and he was suspected by the palace master that there was no good fruit to eat, and he secretly thought that this Mu Zanmo didn't want to cheat him.... So I wanted to explain.

"Senior brother, I...."

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Mu Zan waving his hand.

"Senior brother listen to me first, there are some things I have to say, otherwise I am afraid I will not have a chance. ”

When Mu He heard this, he chuckled in his heart, "No chance, what do you mean?" He decided to listen carefully.

Muzan paused, as if clearing his thoughts.

"Two months ago, there was a change in the retreat dungeon of the Ye Chong Palace Lord, and the Dragon Cloud appeared in the sky above Zifeng City, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event, if the Ye Chong Palace Lord succeeds, my Chiba Palace will definitely be a thousand miles a day, for this victory, the palace master has made full preparations, two hundred years ago, the palace master got a ginseng old man who has completed the period. Winning the championship is a sure thing!"

"Ginseng old man in full stage!!"

Kiwa was shocked when he heard this.
