Beauty helps me achieve immortality

In just half a day, the familiar forest area had changed beyond recognition.

Not only are there scattered branches everywhere, but many old trees are also covered with scars.

The slightly thinner ones are even broken in half.

Zhao Qing exhausted the last bit of spiritual energy in his body and performed a total of thirty sets of the Mountain-Splitting Technique.

It succeeded eighteen times.

The realm of Axe Technique has been broken through.

[Gen Zi·Splitting the Mountain Technique: Entering the Hall and Mastering the Art (9/100)]

In fact, Zhao Qing’s axe skills were nothing special when he just practiced them a few times, but after the breakthrough, his axe skills became much smoother than before.

It even feels like it is not on the same level as the original technique.

Although the intensity of the attack has decreased, it consumes less spiritual energy and is easier to control, so you don't have to dodge when the axe flies back.

Zhao Qing was breathing heavily and was already sweating profusely.

Looking at the mess in front of him, he muttered to himself, "This is not sustainable. I have to move to another place in a few days, otherwise this forest will be destroyed sooner or later."

Military tactics require less spiritual energy and proficiency accumulates faster.

However, the physical exertion is extremely high. Not only are all the movements continuous, but some moves even require using trees as targets to torture the fighter to death.

"If I can successfully perform twenty sets of axe techniques every day, I'll be able to break through to the next level in a few days. I don't know what changes will happen in the next level..."

Compared to the proficiency of Qi Gathering Pill, "Splitting Mountain Art" can definitely be regarded as catching up, and it is about to catch up in just one day.

Zhao Qing simply packed up the wood that was easy to carry and went down the mountain directly home.

Although there are no monsters in the mountains, people always feel unsafe when it gets dark.

In addition, even though Zhao Qing wanted to quickly accumulate proficiency in the Axe Technique, he knew that this was not very realistic.

Practicing the Axe Technique requires spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy is exhausted by practicing the Axe Technique, you will not be able to open the furnace to refine pills at night, which will directly cut off your source of income.

Therefore, I can only use the remaining spiritual energy to practice axe on the basis of ensuring the progress of Qi Gathering Pill.

After all, the Green Pine Formation requires spirit stones to maintain its operation. This is a major guarantee of safety, and there must be a sufficient supply of spirit stones on hand.

After returning home and resting for a while, Zhao Qing went to the kitchen to hand in the task.

After seeing Wang Teng again, he only said that he came to complete the task, and did not mention how many pounds of firewood it was. Wang Teng just glared at him.

In addition, he also learned the latest current affairs from the female cultivators in the kitchen.

Just yesterday, the trial and assessment of the sect's Alchemy Hall came to a successful conclusion. A senior brother in the late stage of Qi Refining, relying on his powerful spiritual realm, was able to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill, which amazed everyone.

This is something that many inner disciples and even direct disciples cannot do. Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is a pill for the late stage of Qi Refining, it can assist in breaking through the Foundation Establishment and is extremely precious.

It was also because of this incident that the senior brother named Qin Yong was promoted to an inner disciple as an exception, and has now joined the Dan Hall, and no longer has to go on any dangerous missions in the future.

In addition, there is news about Danxia City.

In recent days, there have been frequent incidents of robbery cultivators killing and robbing people in Danxia City. There are rumors in the sect that most of the robbery cultivators are actually from the Four Symbols Sect.

The elders of the sect did not make a clear statement on this.

Zhao Qing carried the food for tonight and went straight home against the flow of people.

Whether a senior brother in the Dan Hall was promoted out of turn, or a conflict broke out between sects, such things had little impact on the servants in the kitchen.

It can be said to be negligible. After all, apart from receiving Qi Gathering Pills every month, the servants have nothing to do with the Dan Hall.

But everyone was still discussing it heatedly, as if this would elevate their own status.

Zhao Qing paid some attention to the news about Jie Xiu, and then thought of the corpse he encountered in Beifang that night.

"I guess the robbery cultivator who killed people that day was from the Four Symbols Sect... If it was a random cultivator who committed a crime, he would probably take the skills away and sell them instead of letting them fly all over the sky."

Thinking of this, Zhao Qing's heart sank slightly, and he suddenly realized something.

It was just getting dark, and the location was near the market. Normally, it was the end of the evening hour when the inner sect brothers would be patrolling...

Why did he dare to commit the crime?

Zhao Qing thought carefully, and the next moment his face suddenly turned ugly.

Could it be that this is not a robbery?!

That's right, it wasn't a robbery! It was a provocation! It was the Four Symbols Sect's provocation against the Danxia Sect!

Even the martial arts techniques flying all over the sky might be his intentional act!

Recalling the wooden sign of the sect hanging around his waist at that time, Zhao Qing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He even had some doubts now, whether the corpse he saw that day was that of his senior brother from the sect...

That Miao Jian is on patrol in Xifang...?

Zhao Qing kept imagining it, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

It's so damn dangerous. Next time I go out, I must not bring anything related to the Danxia Sect.

After returning to the courtyard, he did not mention his guess to his wife.

Doing so will only cause pointless panic.

The top priority is to enhance our own strength, otherwise it will be a big problem to go down the mountain to purchase in the future.

Wang Shuyue took out the array plate from under the bed in the bedroom and said, "One spirit stone can last for about two hours, but if it is a situation like that during the day, the spirit stone will be exhausted in just half an hour."

Zhao Qing nodded slightly.

Two hours...An attack from a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator can last for half an hour.

enough.

He instructed his wife, "Tell me to keep the spirit stones you saved for emergencies. If you encounter a special situation and I'm not home, just activate the formation."

The girl responded solemnly, indicating that she understood the seriousness of the matter.

After dinner, Zhao Qing took out a shovel from his storage bag and brought Wang Shuyue to the yard.

"What do you want, my husband?"

Zhao Qing shook his head slightly, pushed the door open and walked into the east wing, carefully checking the fit of the floor tiles.

That night, Shen Su and others waited for news in this room, and now they can still see the hairband left by someone unknown.

"I want to dig deeper into the east wing and build a shelter for myself to prevent any dangerous situations like monster attacks from happening again."

Wang Shuyue frowned slightly, seeming to be a little confused.

"Although there are inner sect brothers on duty on the mountain, things are changing so fast, it's always good to have an alternative."

"The east wing is open and not easily noticed. We will use it as a bedroom from now on. If danger spreads here, we can go directly underground, or even outside the sect."

"The so-called shelter is to go down from this brick and open another secret room."

Zhao Qing briefly explained his thoughts. After all, he needed his wife's help in this matter. Shuyue was a post-natal warrior after all, and was fully capable of doing it.

Wang Shuyue's eyes blinked, and she roughly understood what her husband meant.

She spoke carefully, trying to conclude: "Dig a cellar?"

Zhao Qing, who was thirsty, was suddenly stunned. He stood up silently and stopped checking the condition of the floor tiles.

The summary is very good. You are very smart, but I don’t know if you can do it. Try it tonight.

"Shuyue."

"Hmm?" The crisp nasal sound of my wife echoed in the empty room.

"Have you ever heard of rope art? Come with me first."
