Practice Remembering You

Zhang Yu was very satisfied when he saw the latest report sent to him by the household registration officer.

The return of young people has increased the labor force in Xiaoshi County, which is a good thing.

Currently, Xiaoshi County has only three main ways to generate income. One is minerals, another is the Mushishantan which has just started, and the third is the silver mine. In fact, the last one is not easy to count as a way of generating income, but the situation is special now, so let’s count it for now.

Although the incomes of these three are high, they are still too single and too easy to be affected if something goes wrong.

So they prepared to hold a meeting, in which knowledgeable people from the public could participate, and the time was set when Yin Cai returned.

Zhang Yu and Mo Xue were walking in the county town. The county town had changed a lot now.

When I came here, everything was in a state of disrepair, with countless potholes and broken roads. Now the ground has been paved, and most of the houses on both sides have been repaired, making it look a lot newer.

The people on the street had a faint smile on their faces and a healthy complexion.

The mortals felt the pressure of Zhang Yu's true energy and immediately knelt down in respect.

Although the people were somewhat uncomfortable with the pressure, they felt very relieved. It was the owner of this pressure who brought Xiaoshi County back to life and saved all of them.

The people in the county now exude an extremely rich spiritual energy, the concentration of which is far higher than that in the main city of Zhuiming.

Zhang Yu smiled slightly. He had noticed all this a long time ago. The healthier the mortals were, the purer the spiritual energy they provided.

The happier and more prosperous the mortals are, the more spiritual energy they emit every day.

Finally, if these mortals respect you very much, then the spiritual energy will be particularly easy to refine.

Normally, if a stream of spiritual energy is absorbed into the body, the process of refining it into true energy will take about ten minutes.

Then, a large amount of spiritual energy emanating from the mortal who respects you will be absorbed into your body, and the refining process will be completed in just a few seconds!

Zhang Yu called this the "home advantage". If fighting on one's own territory, the true energy can almost be said to be endless.

From this experience, Zhang Yu had a basic understanding in his mind, that is, unless it is absolutely necessary, never fight in the city of other city lords.

(However, Zhang Yu's achievement was just his own imagination. In fact, there are very few cultivators who can achieve his level in the entire cultivation world.)

Central Region - Zhongzhou - Dayan Palace - Pingtian Palace

The Human Emperor Yan Qingtian sat on the throne. He was wearing an imperial robe, had disheveled hair, and was very thin, like a skeleton. There were always fuzzy and distorted spatial fluctuations floating above his head, making it impossible to see his face.

There was no Qi fluctuation on his body, his eyes were shining white, and a mini bone stick was floating beside him. A gray halo was swirling behind him, and two black and white air currents were swirling around him.

On the left side of the Human Emperor stood a tall man in a very depressed state, with two dragon horns on his forehead. On the right side stood a one-armed woman, whose wound looked fresh, but there was no blood on the wound.

At this time, the Human Emperor knocked lightly on the throne and said, "Another person has appeared in Dongzhou, Dongyu. His name is Zhang Yu. Let him be the candidate for succession as well."

The Human Emperor's voice sounds very gentle, making people feel like spring breeze.

The man at the side said, "Master, this is already the 568th one, and their strength is too weak. Is it necessary to pay so much attention to them? It would be better to focus more on the twelve cultivators in the realm of life and death in the world today."

"It is necessary." The Human Emperor did not explain too much, and then said to the woman: "Go and have someone arrange to send him some tests."

The woman nodded in response, then walked out of the palace, instantly revealing her true form, a phoenix, except that she now only had one arm.

With a wave of his arm, he disappeared immediately, apparently going to do things for the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor raised his head and looked through the palace at the sky: "I wonder when the outer battlefield will open again, and when those demons will come next time."

"It's been a short time since the last time, only three thousand years. I think it will take a long time."

The Human Emperor smiled and said, “After it is opened again, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back with my severely injured body. At that time, I will use my soul and life to seal the road from this world to the battlefield outside the sky and protect the lives of the people in the world.

Try to buy enough time for all living beings in the world, and hope that some cultivators can reach the ninth level before the seal ends."

Upon hearing this, the man with dragon horns did not refute, but just lowered his head with a look of sadness on his face.

East Region - Dongzhou - Zhuiming City - Xiaoshi County

Late at night, everything is quiet

Zhang Yuru practiced as usual, but what was different today was that it was time to break through to the next level.

In order not to disturb his wife's rest, Zhang Yu came to the courtyard and circulated his Qi under the moonlight.

Zhang Yu closed his eyes and felt a huge membrane inside his body, and he impacted that membrane!

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

A series of muffled sounds came out from Zhang Yu's body, and muffled sounds would spread all over Zhang Yu's body. At the same time, a breeze of true energy was stirred up, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger.

With each impact, the membrane becomes much smaller and thinner, and its shape also changes.

For example, the first time, the membrane was as big as a pot lid, as thick as a layer of cloth, and round in shape.

After the impact, the membrane will shrink to the size of a washbasin, become thinner, and its shape will become irregular. If the impact continues, it will become even smaller.

Zhang Yu hit it fifty times. The membrane was now as thin as a cicada's wing, and it seemed that it would break if he hit it one or two more times. The membrane had become as small as the size of a fingernail, and even had filaments in its shape.

This is undoubtedly a severe test of the ability to control true Qi.

Zhang Yu concentrated his attention, arranged his true energy, and rushed forward!

"Ba Hu!"

Unfortunately, Zhang Yu didn't aim well this time, resulting in a deviation of about the width of a hair on the filaments that made up the film, causing it to not fit together and hit open.

It was also because of this that the membrane that was about to be broken suddenly absorbed nearly half of Zhang Yu's true energy!

Then the membrane returned to its original state.

Zhang Yu was a little stunned, but he immediately realized what was going on, adjusted his mentality, and started to attack again.

Soon, he hit the place where he had failed just now, but the shape had changed, with many lines, and it was even more difficult than before.

This time, Zhang Yu observed and compared in detail for a long time, and then succeeded in one attack.

Zhang Yu originally thought it was over, but what he didn’t expect was that there was another one to come!

Zhang Yu felt that the membrane was so thin this time that it could be broken open with just one blow. However, the size of the membrane now was... too difficult.

It is only the size of the tip of an embroidery needle, and its shape is nothing special, just a dot that is constantly moving irregularly.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath. This was the last step. He had to stay calm.

With his attention highly focused and beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, Zhang Yu had cut off all perception of the outside world just for this last moment.

After nearly half an hour, Zhang Yu finally aimed at the needle-like membrane and rushed towards it!

"Boom!"

It worked!

A strong wind blew out, breaking the membrane. Zhang Yu heard a sound of glass breaking in his mind, and then the needle-like opening in the membrane was torn and expanded in an instant, becoming a void black hole.

The true Qi that had been transformed from spiritual energy rushed into the cave entrance frantically.

It was only then that Zhang Yu discovered that the hole was actually inside his body.

After the true qi poured into the cave, Zhang Yu could feel that the true qi had become more refined, and the impurities inside had been removed. The true qi left behind was delicate and thick, and it circulated very smoothly.

If controlling the true Qi before was more or less like controlling "external objects", then the true Qi now is like Zhang Yu's own body, and he can control it freely.

Moreover, this kind of true qi is obviously several times stronger than the previous one.

About half an hour later, Zhang Yu stood up, his true energy steadily covering the surface of his body without any fluctuations.

At this time, Zhang Yu had entered the third level and reached the realm of magic.

Zhang Yu already knew what this small void hole was used for.

If the current body is a furnace that refines spiritual energy into true energy, then this void hole is a stronger furnace that can refine the true energy.

In addition, the interior can also store true Qi, and the amount stored is basically the same as that of the furnace "outside".
