After giving all the spirit stones and elixir weapons to Ting'er, Ting'er skipped Xu Qingfan's thanks, and Xu Qingfan gave a few words of encouragement to the three disciples, and let the three of them disperse.

And Xu Qingfan's three disciples, except for Ting'er who reached the Dan stage and could already cast the "Sleeve Universe", Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu were in the Qi refining period, and they could not perform the "Sleeve Universe" technique, so they could only hold a large number of elixir spirit stone magic weapons given to them by Xu Qingfan and leave, but there were too many things and too scattered, and in the end, Ting'er helped them take them out of Xu Qingfan's room.

After Ting'er and the others left, the smile on Xu Qingfan's face gradually faded, and at the same time, his brows gradually furrowed.

At this time, there are still seven years before the start of the catastrophe in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and there are still twelve years before the opening of Jiuhua Mountain, which sounds like a long time, but it is fleeting for Immortal Cultivation, so Xu Qingfan must make the most reasonable use of time, and think clearly about the direction of his efforts, not waste a day, and maximize his strength.

For cultivators, retreat is not so casual, first of all, you must restore your state to your heyday, and in addition, you must be in a peaceful state of mind, otherwise if you are not careful, you may go mad. Therefore, although Xu Qingfan has already decided to retreat, there are a lot of things to prepare, and the time for the retreat will be a few months later.

After completing Liu Huaxiang's will and returning to Jiuhua Mountain last time, Xu Qingfan set himself five goals that he needed to achieve before Jiuhua opened the mountain.

The first item is to complete the technique of "incarnation outside the body" of the second supernatural power of other places, this one. Xu Qingfan has been completed, as early as a year ago, he refined Xu Zhiyuan and Xu Ying, the two out-of-body incarnations, although he was later defeated by Feng Qingtian when he fought with Feng Qingtian, but its core, the two jade cards are still there, Xu Qingfan only needs to add aura to these two jade cards, Xu Ying and Xu Zhiyuan can reappear in the world.

And Xu Qingfan's second goal is to reach the cultivation of the late stage of Shidan before the opening of Jiuhua, and at this time, Xu Qingfan's cultivation realm is not far from the middle stage of Shidan, but this goal can be regarded as achieving most of it.

As for the third objective. It is to improve the "Recipe of Life and Death" created by Xu Qingfan by chance, but unlike the previous two, this one Xu Qingfan still has no clue at all, "The Recipe of Life and Death" is the use of Xu Qingfan's body "Dead Qi" and "Soul Qi" exercises, in a way, it is Xu Qingfan's biggest reliance when dealing with the catastrophe of the immortal cultivation world in the future, but firstly, Xu Qingfan has no experience in creating the zào exercise alone after all, firstly, he is groping forward, and secondly, Xu Qingfan has the "dead qi" and "living soul's qi" in his body Although he has been proficient in using them, he still doesn't know the subtleties of the two aura. So that over the years, although he has often thought about the perfection of "Life and Death", in addition to evolving the "way of life and death" according to these thoughts, he has not gained much, and the fourth goal is to improve Xu Qingfan's first magical power "Barren Wind", which has gradually been unable to be used.

The fifth item is to use the subtlety of "The Secret of Life and Death" to try to improve Xu Qingfan's own qualifications, although Xu Qingfan has never been real. But it has made great progress, because the third supernatural power "The Way of Life and Death" created by Xu Qingfan is the most dear and corroborated by "Life and Death", and it is not an exaggeration to say that it evolved from Xu Qingfan's "The Secret of Life and Death". Every time he comes back to life, he also has the wonderful effect of improving his qualifications, and the rest is to wait for Xu Qingfan to work hard after retreat.

These are the five points above. Either complete or none. These are the directions that Xu Qingfan will preach and strive for in the next 12 years. Because these five points are the direction that can greatly improve Xu Qingfan's strength in twelve years.

However, Xu Qingfan still had two things to do before the retreat, one was to restore the aura in his body when he had been in deficit for a long time, and the other was to find out the origin and usage of the strange skull in the ruins of the "Treasure Pavilion".

As for Xu Ying and Xu Zhiyuan, Xu Qingfan was not in a hurry to let them reappear in the world, because Xu Qingfan planned to carefully study the puppet he had obtained during the retreat, and it was best to add the advantages of some puppets to Xu Ying and Xu Zhiyuan, so that the strength of the two out-of-body incarnations would also be greatly increased. After setting your goals before and after the retreat. Xu Qingfan's mood became much more stable. In the following days, Xu Qingfan's life was rare to become leisurely, or to sit quietly in the house to restore the empty aura in his body. Or play chess with Zhang Ningmei, taste tea reviews and moods, or browse through the books to find the source and usage of the weird skull, and seize the last time to preach to Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu.

If it weren't for the impending catastrophe in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Xu Qingfan really wanted to let this life continue forever.

After three months, Xu Qingfan's body had finally recovered all the empty aura, and his state of mind became peaceful, and the day of the start of the retreat finally arrived.

After going to Qianshan to talk to Liu Huaxiang, Li Yuhan and others, after settling down with Ting'er and the other three disciples, he turned around and walked towards his room under the complicated gaze of the three disciples.

Although the door was closed, several enchantments of various colors appeared outside Xu Qingfan's room, and in the eyes of the three disciples, Xu Qingfan's figure finally disappeared completely, and he couldn't even sense a trace of breath in the room, and for a while, Ting'er and the other three had a feeling of loss in their hearts.

This time Xu Qingfan will be in retreat for twelve years, this is not only the longest retreat since Xu Qingfan cultivated immortals, but also difficult and uncomfortable for the three disciples, you know, Ting'er only wants to follow Xu Qingfan at all times, and Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu are only worshipping under Xu Qingfan's door for two years.

For cultivating immortals, time is the most precious and dispensable, and at this moment, the three disciples all have a deep understanding of this.

The door closed, and layers of enchantments were placed outside the room, and for a while, Xu Qingfan's room and the outside world seemed to have become two completely isolated worlds. Outside the room is a world, and inside the room is another world, where there are sun, moon and stars, birds and flowers, and teachers' friends, but in this world, there is only Xu Qingfan alone.

Or, there are a lot of problems that Xu Qingfan needs to bother to solve?

For monks in retreat, after the retreat, the greatest danger is the unbearable loneliness and monotony under the emptiness, studying the same problem day after day, the same scenery in front of them, even if the cultivators are used to loneliness, but in the long run, the mentality is still easy to fall out of harmony, and once the mentality is out of harmony, not only the retreat is completely wasted, but also the danger of going mad.

But the retreat is just as great as the improvement of the cultivation of immortals, there is nothing else in the mind, only the method of cultivating immortals, under concentration, the cultivation is naturally diligent, it can be said that the longer the retreat, the greater the achievement, and the greater the danger.

Xu Qingfan naturally knew this, so the moment the door closed, Xu Qingfan let out a sigh of relief, and his mood became unsurprised and unjoyed, and he only wanted to cultivate immortals, but he no longer thought about other things.

However, after Xu Qingfan sat cross-legged on the bed, he did not start cultivating immediately, but took out the skull that had been obtained from the ruins of the "Treasure Pavilion".

Seeing the reappearance of this skull, Xiao Hei, who was originally standing quietly on Xu Qingfan's shoulder, became excited again, constantly fluttering on Xu Qingfan's shoulder, very eager.

But Xu Qingfan didn't stop Xiao Hei again this time, and as soon as the hand holding the jade box was thrown, the green skull floated quietly in front of Xu Qingfan, and then, Xu Qingfan waved his sleeve, and a black bead appeared in Xu Qingfan's hand again, and then floated in front of Xu Qingfan like the green skull.

This black bead is the "Necromancer Bead" that Xu Qingfan got from No. 2 before, and it has the effect of gathering dead qi.

Seeing these two things floating in front of him, Xiao Hei couldn't help but scream with joy, although the cry similar to the crow was still so ugly no matter how cheerful, Xu Qingfan still sensed the joy in Xiao Hei's heart.

I saw that Xiao Hei quickly flew to the skull and the "Necromantic Bead", and I didn't see Xiao Hei make any movements, but I saw that the skull suddenly had an extremely thick dead air, turning into a black mist, and just surging towards Xiao Hei, and with the help of the "Necromantic Bead", this black dead air was getting thicker and thicker, but it seemed to be endless, constantly surging towards Xiao Hei.

And Xiao Hei faced the black dead air that came to him, he didn't refuse, and kept absorbing it, because the time was still short, so he couldn't see any changes in Xiao Hei under absorbing such a large amount of dead air.

And Xu Qingfan, who was silently sitting on the side and observing, looked at the churning black dead qi in front of him, but he was secretly frightened, he didn't expect that the skull that was not the slightest abnormal no matter how much he was probed contained such a powerful dead qi, and under such a generous supply of dead air, how far could Xiao Hei grow?
