In the cave, Zhou Nan sat cross-legged on a soft futon, and more than a dozen storage bags were placed in front of him, each of which was bulging. Except for the treasures in the sealed dragon coffin that are really useful to him, this is all he has collected over the years.

Half of the things in this are too poor in quality, the level is too low, and I don't look down on them at all, and the other half is because the improvement of the cultivation realm is no longer useful. He had collected all the things that were too poor in quality, but the rest of the things were used for other purposes.

It took two days to sort out the contents of the storage bag. Zhou Nan carefully picked out the treasures that could be used and filled three storage bags. After he decided to retreat, these were the guarantees for Sheng'er's cultivation.

In addition to the millions of middle-to-lower-grade spirit beads, these three storage bags also contained a large number of magic weapon talismans and formation secret techniques. As well as his most valuable combat experience and cultivation experience over the years. Many things are hard to find.

After three days of stable life with Sheng'er, on the evening of the third day, Zhou Nan gritted his teeth and finally told the little guy the news that he planned to retreat for a long time. After hearing this, Sheng'er cried for a while, and then sensibly put away her tears.

"Come on, Daddy, Sheng'er will obediently stay in the cave to cultivate, waiting for Daddy to come out. The little girl looked at Zhou Nan, clenched her little fists, and cheered him on. Seeing her like this, Zhou Nan felt uncomfortable when he thought of his decades-long retreat.

But these are the lives of immortal cultivators, and if you want to break through to a higher realm, you can't endure a long period of retreat. It is simply not possible. For the sake of his own safety and Sheng'er's safety, that is. For decades, she had to stay in the cave for the rest of her life.

Decades of loneliness. It's nothing for Zhou Nan. But for a little girl of five or six years old, that would be too cruel. But fortunately, Sheng'er has also embarked on the immortal road, and this time can still afford to wait. And Zhou Nan firmly believes that with the little guy's superb talent, maybe she will achieve the knot, and when she breaks through, she will definitely reach an unimaginable realm.

"Sheng'er obediently, Daddy will leave the three of them to stay with you. During Daddy's decades of retreat, cultivation was important. But learn to fight. These things, the little lion will help you. Finally, be sure to take care of yourself. Daddy is still looking forward to breaking through the barrier, my little girls have become big beauties!" Zhou Nan said in a somewhat sour voice.

"Then Daddy also has to promise Sheng'er that he must practice hard. The little girl nodded vigorously and said seriously.

"Daddy promised you that when Daddy gets out of the customs, he will definitely take you around the world. Zhou Nan said confidently.

"Daddy, go to retreat, Sheng'er is tired. Let's go back to sleep first. The little girl kissed Zhou Nan and ran back to the room.

In the hall, watching Sheng'er's small figure disappear without a trace, Zhou Nan only felt that his eyes were sour. But he had no other choice. The only thing he can do is to succeed and then fulfill his promise seriously.

"I'm sorry. I can't help it. But I promise, after I get out of customs. Be sure to compensate Sheng'er well. "Closed his eyes tightly, thinking about the words that the woman had said in her arms before she died. Zhou Nan's heart was a little more painful for no reason.

Half a cup of tea passed in a flash, and when Zhou Nan took a deep breath, collected his mind, and opened his eyes again, there was no longer the slightest sadness. The whole person exudes strong self-confidence from head to toe, and he always believes that he will succeed.

Subsequently, Zhou Nan took out five or six sets of powerful formations that he had scavenged from the ancient family, and guarded the three layers inside and outside the three layers of his cave mansion. When the final formation was arranged, he walked back to his room and decisively closed the stone door.

opened the sealed dragon coffin, and suppressed the unstable factors of the five-headed monster snake Jin Zombie with the power of the ban. Zhou Nan pondered for a while and saw that there was nothing missing. took out the jade slip that recorded "Zhimu Decision" and realized it.

A month later, after the "Zhimu Decision" was fully comprehended, Zhou Nan began to meditate on medicine, concentrate on boiling mana, and make every effort to prepare for breaking through the Dan period. But before that, he still has to take some time to elevate his cultivation to the Great Perfection of Foundation Building.

Five years have passed in a flash, and three years ago, Zhou Nanshui advanced to the realm of foundation building. After resting for a few days and calming down my mood. He exerted the Hantan Ice Lotus to the limit, refining his mana over and over again.

After another five years, the mana in Zhou Nan's body had been refined to the point where it surpassed the level of ordinary ancestors in the early stage of the knot. Feeling the swelling and stinging sensation coming from the meridians, he immediately stopped hesitating, took out a golden pill, and swallowed it.

As soon as the knot gold pill popped into the entrance, it 'boomed' and burst into a large vast stream of heat. Along the esophagus, it surged into Zhou Nan's belly. Then it was quickly absorbed, flowing along the meridians, flowing through every corner of his body, large and small.

The effect of the golden pill is against the sky, and it has an extraordinary effect on the soul and mana body. Not to mention the value of this pill, it is the powerful function of condensing the soul in an all-round way, washing mana, and tempering the body, which is enough to make countless monks crazy.

Under the flow of mana, the torrent of elixir transformed by the knot golden pill continued to circulate and hover in Zhou Nan's body. He could clearly feel the tremendous changes that were taking place in his body. It is removing the bad and saving the essence, and striding towards a higher level.

When the medicinal power of the first pill was consumed, Zhou Nan felt that his mana had basically solidified. But there was still some distance before the knot pill period, so he stopped staying and took the second knot pill while the iron was hot.

Flowers bloom and fall, clouds roll up. The mountain is windy and rainy day by day, and you can sit and watch the blue sea when the tide is. In the blink of an eye, about forty years have passed. In the past forty years, Zhou Nan's cave has never been opened, and no matter how much the outside world meets, he doesn't pay attention to it.

One day, forty years later, when several sneaky figures didn't know how many times they had sneaked into the valley to prepare to secretly cultivate. 'Boom' a thunderclap was heard. The sun was still hot, in an instant. He hid behind a large dark cloud.

Immediately after, countless blue lightning bolts. Like ten thousand snakes galloping, it was suddenly born in the dark clouds. Each one was the thickness of a baby's arm, and they all carried a strong coercion, and they were all frightened and pale when they saw it. Such a huge vision naturally attracted countless people to watch.

But it didn't take long for the clouds far away in the sky to carry more and more powerful blue lightning, ignoring the obstruction of the 'Nine Phases Golden Gate Phantom Killing Array', and a few flashes. Came to the top of the hill. The few people below who were scared were softened for a while.

"Oh my God, this thunderbolt can't have found out that we are traitors and come to punish us!" A fat man with a simple appearance trembled and lay on the ground, looking at the clouds and lightning above his head that were getting lower and bigger and bigger, and his face was full of weeping and wailing.

"Idiot, is it good to have a little knowledge? This is God punishing us, it is clear that the adult in this cave is about to break through to the Dan stage. The thunderstorm that was brought to the world was born. An old man slapped the fat man on the head and said with a disdainful face.

"Old man Bai, aren't you bragging? A few years ago, Lao Tzu didn't see anyone break through the Dan Period, why didn't this kind of thunder tribulation fall?" Grabbing the old man's collar, he pointed to the thunder tribulation above his head, and asked in disbelief.

"You know what. Simple-minded fools with well-developed limbs. It is true that those people you have seen have broken through to the stage of the Dan, but how can they compare with this adult? If the old man is not wrong. This adult must be that kind of genius and demon. As long as he can survive these waves of thunderstorms, he will accept the gospel of heaven and earth. As soon as he entered the Dan Period, he almost had the magic power of the Ancestor in the middle stage of the Dan Period. Like this kind of genius who can cause thunder tribulation, the old man has been in this sea area for most of his life, and he is only fortunate to encounter it once. I really can't imagine that I will be able to meet it again in my lifetime. The old man moved away from the big man's hand, shook his head, and sighed with emotion.

"Then let's hurry up, if this adult has his hands free in a moment, then we will be really unlucky. Looking at the chatter of the two, the fat man finally got up from the ground. With a dignified fat face, he was ready to run away.

"That's right, let's leave quickly, but we can't go far. The old man walked quickly out of the valley.

"Why can't you go far?" the vicious man chased after him, and then lifted the old man's collar, and asked unceremoniously.

"You idiot, when will you be smarter than the fat man? Let's not say that we hide in the valley and are not treated by thunder, if that adult fails to cross the catastrophe, he will survive again. If they find us, they will definitely catch and vent their anger. The reason why we can't go far is that if this lord succeeds in the tribulation, then we can take the opportunity to go and congratulate him. Maybe this lord will be happy and will give something in reward. Maybe those things are not worth mentioning in their eyes, but any little bit is a great opportunity for us and others. If the old man hadn't been lucky enough to meet an old man who had been rewarded with a lot of treasures, do you think he could have today's cultivation?"

"Old man Bai, you are so cunning, you are simply an old fox. The fat man came up, and his face was full of the word disdain.

"You idiot, when will you be smarter than that stupid bear? Remember, this old man is not cunning, this is wisdom. Wisdom is, that is," the old man patted the fat man on the head again, and walked away from the valley.

After half a cup of tea, the thunderstorm became thicker and thicker, and thick clouds had covered the entire valley. Like a cauldron lid, it was placed on top of the valley. The dull breath, the 'crackling' sound that sounded from time to time, the depressed people were a little out of breath.

With such a powerful aura and such a huge movement, those ancestors of the Dan Stage broke through one after another, gathered together not far from the valley, and they all pointed to the valley and began to talk about it. And in the distance, a large number of people are coming.

After a few moments, there was a muffled thud, and a thigh-thick blue thunderbolt burst out of the clouds. With the incomparable heavenly might, it slashed on the waterfall in a flash. A large amount of water vaporized in an instant, and the thunder and lightning disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Damn, with such a powerful thunder tribulation, the ancestors in the early stage of the Jiedan will be chopped to death at once, how is this possible?" A mild-looking long-bearded old man, after witnessing this scene, grabbed his bearded hand and pulled it fiercely, and burst out with a very graceless mouth.

"Tsk, the people in here are amazing. Do any of you Daoists know which Daoist lives here?" Some of the more gossipy people have begun to ask the people around them about Zhou Nan's news, but unfortunately, he is destined to be disappointed. (To be continued......)
