Chapter 50: Retreat, Enlightenment on the Seventh Floor

After a quarter of an hour, feeling that the depth was enough, Zhou Nan stopped. A large boulder was moved, blocking the loose passage behind him, and he swung his flying sword to expand the stone wall. Suddenly, the stone cave, which could only stand up, soon became two feet in size under his hard work, and it was not a problem to live.

Become an immortal cultivator, and after you have mana, you don't have to worry about breathing. As long as the mana in the body is not exhausted, the immortal cultivator can be completely self-sufficient, forming a circulation in the body, and there is no need to worry about suffocation. This, compared to mortals, is an essential improvement. It's something that a mortal guy can't even think of.

Immortal cultivators below the seventh level of Qiling can't open the valley yet, and they need to eat something regularly to supplement their needs. Fortunately, Zhou Nan was well prepared, and a whole storage bag not only contained spiritual rice, fruits, but even seasonings and jerky were prepared. That's enough for him for two or three years.

Taking out the Big Night Pearl from the storage bag, Zhou Nan dug a hole in the stone wall and installed the Night Pearl inside. In an instant, the dark cave became as bright as day. Just looking at it, it's very comfortable.

Then, Zhou Nan took out the mat and futon and put them on the ground. He took out the mountain guard array and arranged it around the cave, adding enough spirit stones to the formation. Seeing that the arrangement was in place, he waved his ten fingers and played a few magic decisions. After a while, with the urging of the seal, the mountain guard array slowly operated, emitting a bright yellow light, covering the surroundings. But then there was a soft sound, and it disappeared into the stone wall, and disappeared.

After inspecting it, Zhou Nan nodded with satisfaction, then sat down cross-legged, took out a jade bottle from the storage bag, and poured out the Quenching Pill. Without hesitation, he threw it into his mouth, felt the heat flow in his body, closed his eyes, and urged the "Zhimu Decision" to refine the medicinal power and cultivate.

Soon, he was in retreat day after day.

Outside, the mining area is still the same as usual, nothing major has happened, and the black-robed weirdo has never appeared again. The Xuanhuo Sect did not send any more people to the mining area. And Zhou Nan is also like forgotten, and no one remembers it anymore.

But no one knew that as early as a few years ago, an invisible net, a huge conspiracy, had slowly opened the curtain in the Yan Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Realm. By now, there is an interesting story about shrinkage. It can be predicted that in the near future, when the net is closed, those conspirators will make a lot of money.

In the Xuanhuo Sect, not long after Zhou Nan left, the high-level officials were completely furious, and even the Great Elder, who had always been closed off, crawled out and personally accepted Jiang Ling'er as an apprentice. and strictly investigated the exposure of Jiang Ling'er's news.

Many of the disciples involved in this were severely punished. Even more unlucky, they were directly sent to the law enforcement hall and sentenced to death as a traitor. During that period of time, all the people who had entered Qinghuofang City, every one of them was able to escape.

Even Lan Tianwen, Wang Yuxuan, who participated in the sealing work that day, was reprimanded by the high-level of the sect. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had special identities and were the most outstanding disciples in the sect, and they were very involved, it would definitely be more than just a reprimand.

But no matter how angry the Xuanhuo Sect was, this matter never involved Zhou Nan.

Because long before the thorough investigation, the Array Star Pavilion had left Qinghuofang City and was nowhere to be found. To a certain extent, it kept a secret for Zhou Nan. But the news has been exposed, and several disciples who are like little fat men, whose whereabouts are unknown and missing, have begun to be suspected. After the trouble reached the worst, they even made it to the wanted list of the sect, which can be said to be famous overnight.

During this time, the Xuanhuo Sect could be described as a hot topic in the Yan Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.

However, the hottest topic is that during this period of time, a lot of strange things happened in the Yan Kingdom Cultivation Immortal Realm, many scattered cultivators during the Enlightenment Period, small families, and small Shi Lu Li disappeared for no reason. In the panic of the people, a story about the perpetrator was soon exposed. Many people have also checked this matter, but they have not found anything.

This matter, after the most unruly, also attracted the attention of the seven major sects, but all the inquiries were fruitless, and it was not resolved.

Everything in the outside world, no matter how it changes, is none of Zhou Nan's business.

The white horse passed through the gap, the white dog in white, time flies, in a blink of an eye, two years pass in a flash.

In the stone cave, the pearl of the night is still as usual, exuding a bright light. It seems that two years have not had any effect on it. The ground has been covered with a thick layer of dust. There was a lot of messy food debris. It looks very dilapidated.

In the center of the cave, Zhou Nan closed his eyes tightly, his whole body was covered with dust, his hair was sticky, and his clothes were pulled together. But his sitting posture is still calm and upright, and his breath has become more powerful than two years ago.

On this day, Zhou Nan's body suddenly burst into blue light, and a strong fluctuation erupted.

The fluctuations were very powerful, and all of a sudden, the clothes on his whole body turned into flying ashes and drifted away. The dust in the cave was also swept up and flew everywhere. The stone caves are gray and have very low visibility. Then, the wave continued on its way, crashing into the stone wall. Bumped into the 'Mountain Guard'. The formation was activated, and with a flash of yellow light, it suddenly disappeared and disappeared.

The fluctuations dissipated, and he slowly exhaled turbidity, Zhou Nan opened his closed eyes as soon as his fingers moved, his face showed a thick joy, and Da Lu laughed, "Ha Lu, haha, it's been two years, and I finally reached the seventh layer of enlightenment!"

Thinking of the two years of retreat and penance, Zhou Nan felt a burst of emotion in his heart. After taking five bottles of Quenching Pill, three bottles of Qi Dispersion, and five bottles of Qi Huang Dan, in just one year, he reached the peak of the sixth layer of Qiling in one fell swoop. But half a year has passed, and it is still not possible to break through the seventh layer of Qiling.

In desperation, Zhou Nanyi gritted his teeth and took the Ming Huang Dan that could only be used by the seventh layer of Qiling. Ming Huang Dan is worthy of being the elixir used by the seventh layer of Qiling. For Zhou Nan, who is still the sixth layer of Qiling, the medicinal effect is very domineering. The first time he took it, the terrifying medicinal power almost broke the meridians of his whole body, and his face turned green with fright.

If it weren't for Zhou Nan's cultivation of "Soul Refinement" since he was a child, he would have cultivated a good physique, maybe he would have broken his meridians and become a waste. Enduring the severe pain all over his body, Zhou Nan ran "Zhimu Decision" to absorb the medicinal power of Ming Huangdan.

Two months later, after solving the problem of Ming Huang Dan. Feeling the strong strength in his body, Zhou Nan took a Ming Huang Dan again. Until today, after two years, there was no thrilling breakthrough to the seventh layer of Qiling.

Speaking of Zhou Nan's cultivation speed, it is enough to make many people who think they are geniuses ashamed. Since he cultivated the "Zhimu Decision", in nearly five years, he has gone from a mortal to the seventh layer of enlightenment in one fell swoop, which can make rapid progress.

The reason, not to mention the inexplicable breakthrough of the fifth layer of Qiling, in other realms alone, is enough for Zhou Nan to be proud. But I know my own affairs. Zhou Nan knew very well that he could not achieve such an achievement in such a short period of time without the huge amount of resources spent. The resources in Qian Mu's storage bag were basically used by him.

The situation of resources in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, after going to Qinghuofang City, Zhou Nan had a clear understanding.

An immortal cultivator has to reach the seventh layer of Qiling from the first layer of Qiling. If the spiritual root is ordinary and the qualifications are average, then a lot of resources need to be piled up. This is the only one, and the consumption of spirit stones alone is as much as several thousand. These expenses are only used to buy pills. Coupled with other consumption such as magic weapons, the spirit stones required are even more.

Perhaps, this is not quite clear. What is the concept of a thousand lower-grade spirit stones, extracting all the spiritual power in the spirit stones, which is comparable to the mana of the whole body of a ninth-layer monk of the Enlightenment Spirit. A thousand spirit stones are basically all the net worth that the seventh-layer monks of the Enlightenment Spirit have accumulated normally for more than ten years, excluding the normal use.

And Zhou Nan just happened to kill a Qian Mu, which made him a big step ahead of others in the immortal road. Exercises, spirit stones, he doesn't have to worry. You can spend more than 400 spirit stones at one time to buy a large number of pills. This is his chance, although it is a murderous treasure, but it is understandable.

As for killing the three Confucian students, Zhou Nan didn't need to explain.

The Immortal Cultivation Realm is already the weak, could it be that you let a monk of the fifth layer of Qiling go and whisper to the disciples of the third layer of Qiling, and you are willing to be led by the nose to leave? This is originally a simple matter, if you go down with a sword, there will be no trouble, as long as you are not an idiot, why should Zhou Nan bother with other scheming?

Could it be that just because they are disciples of this sect, Zhou Nan will keep his hand? Zhou Nan is not so stupid. This kind of waste, even if one or two are killed, as long as they are disposed of, the sect can't do anything with him. This is the world of cultivating immortals, there is no right or wrong, there are no good people and bad people, those who can be dealt with simply, and those who can be suppressed by force, will never waste other means.

The road to immortality is long, the road ahead is full of thorns, and time is of the essence. What immortal cultivators want is to race against time and win an infinite future in a limited time. If you blindly tremble and act in a low-key manner, then what kind of immortal is there to cultivate?

What immortal cultivators want is to be cautious and cautious, and do brave and diligent things!

After thinking for a while, Zhou Nan stood up and threw out a mana with his hand, and the dust in the stone cave was easily swept away by the wind. Pulling over the quilt and making room, Zhou Nan took out a large piece of dried meat from the storage bag, took a fireball technique, suppressed the temperature, put on the meat with a flying sword, and roasted it on the fire.

After a while, the jerky softened, and sparkling butter flowed out, dripping on the fire, making a sizzling sound, and the rich aroma of meat filled the entire cave. The golden and bright appearance, just looking at it, I feel very appetizing. Then, seeing that the meat was cooked, Zhou Nan smiled slightly, took out the seasoning again, and carefully sprinkled it on it, doing it very seriously.

Not long after, under Zhou Nan's skillful operation, a large piece of fragrant barbecue jerky appeared in front of him.
