Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

"Lao Hei, let's retreat first!" Gu Chi turned into a purple lightning and boarded a teleportation platform with the big black dog. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from this world.

……

Half a month later, deep in a secluded mountain range.

The leaves are falling, there is no noise or bloody battle, only a kind of otherworldly beauty and tranquility.

"It's cooked, it's cooked, eat it quickly!"

Murong Zhixiu brought a plate of roasted whole lamb to the stone table. The golden and silver light shone brightly against each other, and the tempting aroma of meat wafted far away.

Li Wangcen stared at the golden, shiny, and fragrant roasted whole lamb in front of him, swallowing hard. He then gave a thumbs-up to the man and dog approaching from a distance and said, "Sister Qianhe's cooking skills are truly exceptional."

The man and the dog were naturally Gu Chi and the big black dog. After they left the Qingxia Realm that day, they traveled around several other small worlds before finally coming here to meet up with Murong Zhixiu and the other little bandits.

Around the roasted whole lamb, there were various foods served on silver plates.

In addition, there were several jars of fine wine. The moment the soil covering them was removed, a rich fragrance spread throughout the entire mountain range, making the surrounding grass, trees, and rocks tinged with the aroma of wine.

"Sister Qianhe, do you think that the Holy Son of the Martial God Temple that day was his main body or secondary body, or that the main and secondary bodies have merged into one?" Tuoba Cang asked. He was very curious about the duel between Gu Chi and the Holy Son of the Martial God Temple in the Qingxia Realm, and had been asking her for detailed information these days.

Gu Chi pondered and said, "What is certain is that the Dao Fruits of his main body and secondary body have not yet merged, otherwise he would not have held me at a stalemate for so long. I think the Holy Son of the Martial God Temple at that time should be the secondary body."

"If it really is the secondary body, then it will be a bit troublesome." Tuoba Cang frowned and whispered. The secondary body is about to be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, so how far can the main body be?

"Who cares about his main body or secondary body? We can kill the Seventh Generation Lord Yu Huachen together. Why should we be afraid of him, a mere son of the Martial God Temple?" Murong Zhixiu said disapprovingly.

Half a month passed, but the noise from the outside world still did not calm down. Many people were discussing the duel between Gu Chi and the Holy Son of the Martial God Temple in the Qingxia Realm that day.

Gu Chi's deeds, such as the siege and killing of the incarnation of the seventh generation monarch Yu Huachen together with the demon Shen Tu Ling, the Qingyun Marquis of Qian State, and the descendants of the thief, and entering the evil nest of Fulong Ridge without suffering any disaster, and walking back and forth in it alive... and so on, each one is worth talking about.

A person whose cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, yet he performed one jaw-dropping feat after another. The name "Qianhe" once again spread in Kunlun Ruins and became known to many people.

……

There are bursts of laughter and joy among the mountains and ridges.

"Come on, drink!"

A group of people sat together, drinking and eating meat, but Li Wangcen just held the wine jar and kept drinking, and did not touch the various barbecues on the table at all.

Gu Chi noticed this, turned his head and cast a questioning look at Murong Zhixiu, muttering softly, "Is he heartbroken and drinking to drown his sorrows?"

Murong Zhixiu laughed heartily and said, "What kind of love is he losing? He's just planning to get himself drunk, and then use his drunkenness to devour meat without restraint."

"Hehe..." Tuoba Cang also shook his head and laughed. He was no longer surprised by such things.

"Nonsense, I never touch meat, don't slander me!" Li Wangcen glared at them angrily, his eyes cloudy and lifeless, obviously a little drunk.

Gu Chi immediately became interested and asked Murong Zhixiu and the others, "If you want to eat meat, just eat it directly. Why do you have to get yourself drunk before you can eat it?"

Zuo Shiji smiled and said, "The Fourth Master is a vegetarian and doesn't eat meat or alcohol. This kid wants to emulate his master, but he doesn't have enough self-control. Every time he drinks, he gets drunk first before he dares to eat meat. When he sobers up, he refuses to admit it even if he's beaten to death. It's like trying to cover up one's mistake by trying to steal a bell."

After figuring out the reason, Gu Chi couldn't help laughing out loud. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel surprised. It was really unexpected that Li Daoxuan, the fourth most notorious thief in the North, was actually a person who didn't touch meat or alcohol.

"Lao Hei and I are also going to prepare for seclusion. With our current realm and cultivation level, we can still deal with ordinary cultivators, but we will also be suppressed due to the gap in realm, which is really a disadvantage." Gu Chi said this after three rounds of drinks.

She had originally planned to remain in seclusion and wait until she reached the middle stage of the Golden Core or the Great Completion before coming out to practice. After the battle between the Qingxia Realm and the Holy Son of the Martial God Temple, she became more determined in this idea.

At that time in the Qingxia Realm, if her realm was also at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, even if she failed to kill the Holy Son of the Martial God Temple, with the blessing of various attributes of the system, she would definitely not have had such a hard time fighting.

"Right now, most of the outstanding geniuses who entered Kunlun Ruins have successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. I think there are probably many people who have their eyes on you. There is no guarantee that they will not take advantage of your retreat to harm you." Tuoba Cang said.

"That's right!" Li Wangcen nodded drunkenly, holding a whole leg of lamb and starting to chew it.

"Why don't we go into seclusion together so that we can take care of each other." Zuo Shiji suggested.

"The retreat place I chose may not be suitable for you." Gu Chi said.

Murong Zhixiu said disapprovingly, "It doesn't matter whether it's suitable or not. As long as it's not easy for others to find it, that's fine."

The big black dog also nodded and said, "I will set up a few more killing arrays when the time comes, so we won't be disturbed by anyone."

"Then let's go together." Gu Chi said. They could take care of each other. If a powerful enemy attacked, they could provide assistance in the first time and would not have to escape in a panic like the Holy Son of the Temple of Martial God.

"Be careful, don't let anyone follow you." They left this pristine mountain range and headed together to the retreat place chosen by Gu Chi.

However, when they arrived at their destination, they were all dumbfounded.

"What the hell, you plan to go into seclusion here?" Several little bandits looked at Gu Chi in surprise, because the place she chose for seclusion was actually the starting point of Kunlun Ruins, between the three thousand ancient bluestone roads.

"This place is secluded enough, and usually no one comes here. I don't have to worry too much about being disturbed by outsiders. Isn't this good?" Gu Chi was very satisfied with his choice and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Well, well, let's just stay here and do some retreat."

Zuo Shiji glanced around and chose an ancient bluestone road that was closest to him.

The rest of the people also chose an ancient road to sit cross-legged, separated from each other by four or five ancient roads, not too close or too far, so as to avoid the entanglement of qi and energy when they were in seclusion to gain enlightenment, and to provide timely support when the enemy attacked.

To be on the safe side, the big black dog also set up five killing formations here.
