Volume 1: Born Lonely Chapter 48: Retreat Again

On top of Xie Dingfeng, more than a month has passed since Xu Bing entered the hut for retreat, but now he still has no intention of stepping out.

Shen Cong was a nourishing life during this time, and he often went out to do tasks, and even met several fellow cultivators because of this.

Several people often accompany each other when they go out, and they can also help each other when doing this task, even if they occasionally encounter some difficult monsters, they can be dealt with with by the combined efforts of several people.

On this day, Shen Cong and the others returned to the sect after completing the task, handed in the task, and discussed going to the Lei Xian Bazaar for a turn. At the entrance, Shen Cong met a familiar figure, and when he saw the other party, Shen Cong stopped and said hello by the way.

This familiar person is Niu Zhuang who assassinated Xu Bing before, but Shen Cong didn't know it.

When Niu Zhuang saw Shen Cong, he also exchanged a few words, and then looked around and asked, "Senior Brother Shen, why haven't you seen Senior Brother Xu recently?"

When Shen Cong heard this, he smiled and said, "That guy knows that he has been in retreat and cultivation for almost two months, and he hasn't left the mountain for a single step, so it's not as good as me, go out to do tasks, eat and drink well, and also improve his cultivation."

Niu Zhuang only realized at this time that Xu Bing had been in retreat on the mountain during this time, no wonder he hadn't seen him since Xu Bing came back from his mission last time. Now that he learned the news he wanted, he exchanged a few words with Shen Cong again, and then left, walking towards the cave where Chen Jiusheng was.

On the first peak in the west, inside Chen Jiusheng's cave. When he heard the news that Xu Bing was in retreat, he didn't feel angry, he just smiled coldly and said to himself, "It's quite smart, and I know how to step up my cultivation to protect myself, but Young Master Ben wants to see how long you can retreat, I don't believe that you can retreat and cultivate in one breath until you come out of the Void Realm."

Since the last failed assassination of Xu Bing, Chen Jiusheng has been waiting for Xu Bing to go out again, wanting to find an opportunity to do it himself. But in the next period of time, he asked Niu Zhuang to check and learn that Xu Bing had never left the sect again, and he didn't know the news of Xu Bing's retreat until today.

Although there is no way to deal with Xu Bing in retreat, Chen Jiusheng is not in a hurry, now he has the cultivation of the mortal body realm of the fifth, even if Xu Bing's cultivation breaks through to the mortal realm of the third, or the fourth, the other party is still not his opponent, as long as he dares to leave the sect, he can take his life.

Xu Bing obviously had no idea about all this, and he was still in retreat at this time. Aside from occasionally withdrawing from his breath to eat some food when he was hungry, his eyes were rarely open.

Such days are too boring, so Shen Cong chose to practice at night and go out to do tasks during the day as before, but Xu Bing didn't seem to have much rejection of this boredom, and even liked it a little, or it should be said that he was used to it.

After all, when he was in Fancheng before, he was also boring when he practiced mortal martial arts, although his life would be much better than now, but he was only five or six years old when he first started practicing martial arts. At that time, he could persevere, but now how can he not completely endure this boring feeling.

Time passed quickly in Shen Cong's satisfied chatter and laughter, and in the blink of an eye, it had been two months since they went out to do a task for the first time, and similarly, Xu Bing had two months of retreat.

In the early morning of this day, it was the moment when the aura of heaven and earth was the strongest, but Xu Bing, who was originally cross-legged and closed his eyes, opened his eyes.

There was no expression on his face, but after his eyes opened, he quickly took out more than a dozen spirit stones from the storage bag and scattered them around his body. Looking at this formation, he knew that his cultivation was about to break through again and enter the mortal body realm.

Originally, Xu Bing had been practicing for two months, and during this period, he continued to practice with the help of spirit stones, which made his cultivation speed much faster than many monks in the same realm, not to mention that his spirit was a heavenly product at all, but the spiritual introduction of the exercises he practiced was only the yellow level, which made him have the opportunity to break through his cultivation now.

After Xu Bing laid out those spirit stones, he closed his eyes again, concentrated on exhaling, and then began another cultivation impact at the moment when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was the strongest in the early morning.

Maybe it was because the chase he experienced when he did the task last time helped him improve his cultivation, or maybe his two months of uninterrupted cultivation were too solid, and this time his cultivation breakthrough seemed to be very smooth.

The moment when the aura of heaven and earth was the strongest was originally only one hour, but Xu Bing had already completed the breakthrough in only half an hour, and his cultivation had finally improved again from the mortal body realm two months ago, to the mortal body realm triple now.

Xu Bing originally thought that the monk who assassinated him before didn't know the specifics of his cultivation, but he could feel that the other party's cultivation was at least in the mortal realm, and it might even be higher.

That assassination, it was obvious that the other party underestimated the enemy, and he was injured by himself, if not, he would probably not be able to escape from the other party's pursuit. Even if he can save his life, it will definitely not be so easy, and he may suffer serious injuries.

Xu Bing thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't think of who the person who assassinated him would be, although he had been in the sect for four months, but on weekdays, in addition to cultivating, he had competed with Shen Cong in the ring in the Thunder Immortal Bazaar to earn spirit stones.

However, the only person who was offended by this incident was Zhao Kun, and Zhao Kun had already been killed by him, and the masked man was obviously not the same group as Zhao Kun, otherwise he would definitely join forces to kill himself and Shen Cong.

In this case, wouldn't it be easier to kill the two of them who only had the dual cultivation of the mortal body realm.

Xu Bing didn't know the other party's specific cultivation, and he didn't know if the other party had other companions with higher cultivation, so he still didn't choose to go out to do the task, but went down the mountain to find some food again, and then returned to the mountain, looked at the sky in the distance, and sighed, "Hey, it's only been four months since I arrived in the sect, and I have so much trouble just cultivating to the mortal body realm, it seems that the cultivation realm is indeed much more complicated than mortal dust."

After Xu Bing finished speaking, he shook his head, and touched the storage bag on his waist again, which contained hundreds of spirit stones that he had earned with Shen Cong before, as well as a large pile of food that he had prepared for his retreat this time.

Xu Bing took the storage bag of food, returned to the hut, crossed his knees again, and continued his boring practice.

In Chen Jiusheng's cave, Niu Zhuang's figure reappeared and told Chen Jiusheng the news that he saw Xu Bing go down the mountain today, but the other party later returned to the mountain.

Chen Jiusheng scolded him for being an idiot, Xu Bing didn't take the task and left the sect, telling him what was the use of this, and Niu Zhuang left here trembling in fright.

Shen Cong also saw Xu Bing's figure of returning to the hut after leaving, just muttered a few words in a low voice, and then went down the mountain again, taking his group of fox friends and dog friends to the outside of the sect. But what Shen Cong didn't know was that after he left, a figure also followed.
