Lu Fu looked at the angry cat girl in front of him, and immediately asked, "Chu Miao, did Lord Shen Chong ask you to be his close attendant, and what about your other four companions?"

Chu Miao shook his head, and there was still a trace of shame on his face: "It was Chu Miao himself who asked to be Lord Shen Chong's personal guard." As for Du Hui, they have already gone to live in the barracks of the city defense army temporarily under the arrangement of Lord He Kang. ”

At the beginning, if Shen Chong invited Phantom East and Phantom West, the two brothers would be able to directly join the Zodiac Immortal Palace with their cultivation in the transformation period. However, Chu Miao and they were only junior cultivators in the Ning Dan stage, and they couldn't make better arrangements, plus the wishes of several of them, so out of the five, four of them expressed their willingness to stay in Cambe City, but Chu Miao decided to follow Shen Chong in the future.

And Chu Miao will ask to serve as Shen Chong's close attendant, firstly, she is impressed by Shen Chong's strength and bearing, and secondly, she can always follow such a handsome adult, but there is no shelf, naturally she has a little selfishness.

"Well, okay. Once Lord Shen Chong finishes his cultivation, please inform me as soon as possible. After Lu Fu finished speaking, he left on his own.

He still admired Shen Chong for being able to seize all the time to cultivate so much.

At this moment, in the wing room, Shen Chong was sitting quietly on the bed.

This time, after experiencing the rebellion of the beast tide, he not only let go of all his burdens and had a selfless hand-to-hand battle with Phantom East and Phantom West, but also experienced a transformation of his heart when talking to the brothers.

From the moment his heart transformed, Shen Chong knew that the time was ripe for him to break through to the middle stage of transformation.

So, as soon as the wine woke up, he went back to his room and began to break through with peace of mind.

Shen Chong's retreat lasted a whole week.

During this time, Lu Qiaoqiao came to the yard to report almost all day long, but every time he could only wait for a long time and left unwillingly.

Lu Fu also came a few times, and saw that Shen Chong had not left the customs, so he also left on his own.

As for the first seedlings, they seem to be tireless, and they have been quietly guarding the door of the wing.

On this day, Chu Miao closed her eyes slightly as usual and stood quietly at the door of the wing.

After a moment, Hatsumiao's eyes suddenly widened, and then a look of joy appeared in her eyes.

A wave of rich and powerful spiritual power unexpectedly ignored the barrier of the prohibition and passed out from the chamber.

The next moment, a fierce momentum rose into the sky.

Originally, the prohibition laid by Shen Chong was directly shattered like broken paper under the impact of this momentum.

Hatsumiao was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated, and at the same time, she summoned her own spirit weapon to defend against it.

In this way, he was still shocked and retreated nearly ten meters.

The next moment, suddenly, that momentum disappeared in an instant.

In the room, Shen Chong's eyes, which had been closed for several days, suddenly opened, and his calm gaze looked straight ahead, but it was as if he was looking in nothingness.

"Huh~~~" Like a long siphon absorbing water, Shen Chong's lips opened lightly, and he immediately inhaled all the rich aura that permeated the surroundings into his abdomen.

Within Shen Chong's Qi Sea Dantian, a round golden pill was whirring wildly, although the size had not changed, but the nine colors were much richer than before. And in the sea of qi under the golden pill, the total amount and concentration of spiritual energy have also increased several times compared to before.

"Buzz!" The aura in his body was running rapidly, and it actually caused the aura of heaven and earth around him to vibrate slightly.

"Is this the middle stage of the transformation? What a full aura, such a wonderful feeling. Exiting the inner look, Shen Chong's eyes were full of joy.

It has only been more than half a year since he came to the Huangquan Realm, and Shen Chong has taken a step further on the basis of the early stage of transformation, reaching the level of the middle stage of transformation.

Shen Chong felt that if before, when the three Yuan Infant Stage masters of Ming Juezi, Fei Qi, and Jia Yuan besieged him, he would have the strength he has now, and he would definitely not be as embarrassed as he was at the beginning, and it was even possible to directly kill Fei Qi and Jia Yuan, who were less powerful, in the melee.

Regarding his cultivation speed, Shen Chong was also relatively speechless.

When the strength of a cultivator increases, he generally needs to improve his or her own strength after the true spiritual cultivation is improved, otherwise, the true spiritual cultivation is weak, and he cannot control the energy in his body, and it is very easy to go mad.

There are many ways to increase energy, you can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine, you can also take some spiritual herbs and elixirs to improve, and you can even kill other cultivators and absorb the energy in their golden pills or yuan babies for their own use.

But true spirituality is very difficult to improve.

Even if there is a treasure like the Essence Inner Pill that can increase the true spiritual cultivation in small amounts, there is a limit to the degree of improvement after absorbing and refining, and it is impossible to increase it indefinitely. After all, the cultivation of the true spirit is related to people's perception of the natural way of heaven and earth. The comprehension and experience of the way of heaven and earth cannot be increased simply by absorbing something.

This is also the reason why the cultivation of ordinary cultivators is so slow to improve.

Ordinary cultivators, if they don't have adventures, if they want to improve their cultivation to a higher level at this stage of the transformation stage, it is impossible to succeed without hundreds of thousands of years. Even some people or demon beasts with excellent talents will need nearly a hundred years of cultivation before it is possible to break through.

But Shen Chong is different, his true spirit is already incomplete, but he has fused Zuo Yifeng's broken true spirit, and has some fragments of Zuo Yifeng's perception as a master of the fairy world. Coupled with the cyan Thunder Source Spirit Bead that had been integrated with Shen Chong's mind, these were all reasons why Shen Chong's true spiritual cultivation was much beyond his own strength.

The function of such a treasure of heaven and earth as the Lei Yuan Spirit Bead is very mysterious at all, even if the original Thunder Emperor Xuanxuan has studied it for ten thousand years, he still can't find the true secret of the two Lei Yuan Spirit Beads.

Therefore, Shen Chong didn't need to worry about his true spiritual cultivation at all, as long as he focused on consolidating his existing cultivation and then absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world, his cultivation level could be quickly improved.

Of course, Shen Chong himself did not know these reasons.

He was also very puzzled by how quickly his cultivation had improved.

But no matter how smart he was, he would never have guessed that in his mind, there was not only a part of the Heaven and Earth Supreme Treasure that even the Immortal Emperor valued very much, but also a broken Immortal Realm Master True Spirit.

"Shen Chong!?" the two voices sounded almost simultaneously.

Shen Chong looked, but saw Lu Fu's father and daughter coming from outside the courtyard.

"You... You actually broke through again!?" Lu Fu looked stunned.

And Lu Qiaoqiao was full of joy: "Shen Chong, you are finally out of the customs, suffocate me, play with me." ”

"Congratulations to Lord Shen Chong for making another breakthrough!" Chu Miao also said with joy on his face.

Shen Chong smiled slightly: "Let's set off, the goal, Panxi County." ”

Huangquan boundary, Yama country, Panxi County.

Panxi County was originally the land of fish and rice, because there was a Panxi River passing through the county, bringing abundant water and nutrients. However, Panxi suddenly became a poisonous river, and where Panxi passes through now, the rich farmland has all become a dead place where no grass is born. The people of the entire Panxi County can only rely on some originally barren sand and rocky fields to grow crops.

Growing on such barren land makes it difficult to produce food.

As a result, many people have left their homes in order to survive.

There are also some who are reluctant to leave, and they choose to try their luck.

There are two main ways for people to try their luck.

The first is to go to the barren mountains and mountains to pick spiritual herbs and elixirs, these places are full of poisonous snakes and beasts, and if you are not careful, you will die. Once you are lucky, you can pick a good spiritual herb elixir and sell it to a merchant or cultivator, and you will have to go through layers of exploitation and price reduction, and the money that can reach the medicine picker is still pitiful.

The second is to mine in the smart stone mine near Kusha City in Panxi County. The Kinetic Stone Mine near this Dry Shooting City has long since dried up after years of mining. Those ordinary people have to pay a fee of 20 taels of brown gold to enter the abandoned mine for mining, and the time limit is 1 month.

20 What is the concept of two taels of brown gold? Most of the common people can't even take out one tael of brown gold. If you want to try your luck at an abandoned mine, you have to pay credit to the mine.

If you are lucky enough to find a smart stone this month, you can not only pay back 20 taels of brown gold, but also use the smart stone to get an extra 60 taels of brown gold from the mine.

The exchange ratio between smart stone and brown gold should have been 1:100, but when you get to the mine, it becomes 1:80.

In the case of real poverty, some people will also choose to gamble, and after owing 20 taels of brown gold to the mine, they will enter the abandoned smart stone mine to try their luck. If you are lucky, you can make a small fortune, but the current food price is so expensive, and it will be used up after two or three years at most.

If you are unlucky and don't get anything, then you have to continue to pay the mine on credit and find another month to see if you can pay off your previous debts.

Moreover, the smart stone mine stipulates that the credit cannot exceed 50 taels of brown gold. In other words, if you owe three months on credit and don't find a Mobility Stone, you will become a free miner in the mine and be sent to a mine farther away than the abandoned mine, the Xieduo Mine.

Luck is not so easy to touch, for every ten people who enter the abandoned mine to try their luck, only one person can be lucky enough to dig a smart stone, and the other nine will be sent to the Xieduo mine for mining because they owe the mine money on credit.

The work at the Xieduo mine is very heavy and the management is extremely strict. The people who entered, nominally miners, had in fact become slaves. Legend has it that a steady stream of miners were sent to the Codor's mines, but none of them returned.

Therefore, the people who tried their luck on the abandoned mines also gave the Xieduo mine a terrifying and vivid name - the pit of bones.

The manager of this bone pit is a super master in the early stage of the Yuan Infant. And legend has it that the behind-the-scenes bosses of this early Yuan Infant master are Xu Ling and Xu Bing.

Kushecheng is the closest city to the abandoned mine in Panxi County, about ten miles away from the abandoned mine.

There is a registration office in the city, which is specially used for the registration of ordinary people who try their luck in abandoned mines.

People who want to try their luck in the abandoned mines must first register at this registration office and then go on their own. This registry office is also responsible for arresting those who owe 50 taels of brown gold on credit and sending them to the Xieduo mines.
