The night is misty and the moon is like water. At the southern end of the Wei Kingdom, in Fengyang City, there is a majestic building complex - the prince's mansion. The palace covers an area of ??several hectares, with numerous attics in its inner courtyard, neatly decorated with flowers, plants and trees, and decorated with rocks, making it both grand and elegant. In the palace, even at night, there are still several well-equipped soldiers patrolling back and forth, especially under the thick walls. Can't even fly in. On the north side of the palace, in a rather spacious, elegant and quiet courtyard, Chu Shaohai stood quietly by the stone table, looking up at the bright moon in the sky. "It's been three months" Chu Shaohai muttered a word silently, his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. It has been three months since I left the Chu family. Chu Shaohai and the others ran all the way back, and finally returned to the palace three days ago. Chu Shaohai remembered very clearly that the last time it was also a full moon night, in this courtyard, the night before departure, he and his father had the rare opportunity to sit together, facing the moon sky, drinking wine until dawn. At that time, their mood was exactly the opposite to that at this time. They were really "going away in good spirits and returning in disgrace"! In the past three months, his father seemed to be still the same as when he "left on pleasure", but Chu Shaohai could see how much sadness was hidden behind his father's smile. Less than three months have passed, and my father¡¯s black hair has now turned gray. The wrinkles on his face also increased a lot in a short period of time. It made my father look more than ten years older than before he set off. Just last night, he even heard his father sobbing slightly. The voice was very small, as if it had been suppressed by all means. If it were a mortal, it would be impossible to detect it under the distance of tens of feet and the barriers of several walls. But this sound is too harsh for Chu Shaohai, who is an immortal cultivator and whose hearing is far beyond ordinary people! His father, who had always been majestic and tall, actually cried secretly. This made Chu Shaohai, who had never shed a tear even when he was bullied in the Chu family, finally couldn't control himself and shed two lines of tears. "Chu family! I will definitely make you pay the price you deserve!" Thinking back to where he was sad and angry, Chu Shaohai couldn't help but tremble all over. He clenched his fists with both hands, and his hard nails even dug into the flesh of his palms, and the bright red blood The drops slowly flowed down and fell into the bluestone bricks under your feet. According to Chu Shaohai's plan, after settling down his father, he will leave the Chu family's sphere of influence alone and go out to the dangerous world of immortality, in order to strive to become an even more evil genius within five years before his mother gets married. Attitude, visit the Chu family again. In fact, Chu Shaohai¡¯s original intention was to have his father accompany him, away from the Chu family¡¯s sphere of influence, so that he could still live a comfortable life elsewhere. But Chu Wenxiong did not want to hold his son back anymore, and insisted on staying in the palace of the King of Wei and continuing to be his prince. Chu Shaohai did not insist on his own ideas too much. He knew that he was going out of the Chu family's sphere of influence and went to the dangerous world of immortality. Even he himself might encounter fatal danger. If you let your father, who is just a mortal, follow you, you might encounter something unexpected. By then, if something unexpected happens, it will be too late to regret it! "It would be much safer if we stayed within the Chu family's sphere of influence. After all, in the eyes of the Chu family, the life of the father is not of ordinary importance. According to the plan, Chu Shaohai will continue to travel three thousand miles east after making some preparations in the palace, and first get out of the Chu family's sphere of influence. ¡°Then we will go thousands or even tens of thousands of miles eastward to find an immortal cultivating sect far away from the Chu family¡¯s influence to join. Chu Shaohai knew very well that with his talent, as long as he did not join a behemoth such as the Yuling Sect, he could get good treatment even in some large sects. As for those small and medium-sized sects, let alone them, it would be strange not to treat themselves as treasures. Of course, small and medium-sized sects are by no means Chu Shaohai¡¯s target. After all, such sects have too few resources. Whether it is spiritual stones or elixirs, the supply is far less than that of large sects. "With insufficient resource supply, the speed of cultivation cannot be increased. If the speed of cultivation cannot be increased, it will never be possible to realize the wish of returning the glory of the father to the family. Chu Shaohai¡¯s goal is to go all the way east to find a large sect that can rival the Chu family in strength and join it. Then, with the help of this sect¡¯s resources, you can speed up your cultivation to a higher level. In fact, even if Chu Shaohai doesn¡¯t plan this way, he must joinA sect must become a disciple of that sect. It¡¯s not for anything else, just because he doesn¡¯t have good skills. Chu Shaohai was able to reach the fourth level of Qi training stage because every Chu family disciple can learn the family's most basic Qi-entraining technique, and his father Chu Wenxiong was already familiar with it. This Qi-inducing technique corresponds to the first three levels of the Qi-training period, and is specifically used to introduce Qi into the body. After reaching the fourth level, practicing the Qi-Entraining Technique will no longer have any effect, and you need to practice the Qi-Condensing Stage. It is not that Chu Shaohai has no skills in the middle and late stages of Qi training, but they are inferior skills that even the outer disciples of the Chu family cannot use. They are some distant relatives who lived in the same area before they left the family. The items given privately by the elders are of little value. Not to mention that this type of practice is very slow to advance, and there are still many defects or misinterpretations. If you practice it forcefully, it will not be a big problem if the level is unstable. Even if the cultivation level is regressed because of this, it is not a big deal, but if someone accidentally goes crazy If so, the consequences will be serious. If it is not handled properly, it may even cost your life. Basically, this type of exercise has a lot of shortcomings. Apart from being barely able to practice, it has no other advantages. It has been half a year since Chu Shaohai broke through to the fourth level of Qi training period. ¡°In the first three months, he set off from Wei State to the Chu family¡¯s home base, and in the next three months, he set off from the Chu family¡¯s base home to return to Wei State. And in the past six months, while rushing, what he practiced was this inferior technique. The result was the same as the rumors, and there was no unexpected situation. In the past six months, Chu Shaohai's cultivation progress has not even been as good as the original half-month results in the Qi-entraining stage. It is really pitifully slow. During this period, there were even two situations where the cultivation level declined due to errors in the exercises. As for other small situations such as small bottlenecks or mood swings, there are countless more. Chu Shaohai knows very well that if this continues, let alone making his cultivation speed faster, it will be extremely difficult to maintain the original speed of improvement during the Qi-entraining stage. That¡¯s why he targeted large sects. With better skills and more resources, he can practice faster. Only by practicing faster and faster, as fast as a monster, can he, Chu Shaohai, have the strength to make his father return to the Chu family in a high-profile manner and reunite his parents in just five years before his mother gets married. In fact, Chu Shaohai knew very well that according to this plan, even if everything went well, it would not be an ordinary difficulty to become a monster! What's more, there are still many difficulties and obstacles waiting for him along the way. But no matter how clear the current situation is, he will not allow himself to fail, he must succeed! Because neither he nor his father can bear the consequences of another failure. "No matter what, I will definitely succeed! I will definitely do it! I will definitely" Thinking of his father in pain again, Chu Shaohai's heart was bleeding, and the blood on his palms from the deep nails was dripping. Drip down. Under the hazy moonlight, bright red blood dripped onto the bluestone bricks at the feet of Chu Shaohai, dyeing the surface of the bluestone bricks a strange dark red color. Chu Shaohai didn't know, and no one could know, that among the few drops of blood dripping from the wound on the palm of his right hand, one of them dripped onto a bluestone brick in front of the small blood beach, which just covered it. to a small crack on it that is difficult to discern with the naked eye. It was this drop of blood and this tiny crack that triggered a series of incredible scenes that followed. Along the small gap, a small part of the blood soaked into the inside of the bluestone. With such a small crack, even water droplets would have difficulty penetrating into it without external force, let alone thick blood. But now it¡¯s really happening. It is as if there is some force attracting the blood inside the bluestone. After passing through nine turns and eighteen turns in the narrow gap, leaving behind a bright red trace, that part of the blood finally arrived at a special place. It was a piece of metal the size of a fingernail, silver-gray in color, and extremely ordinary. ¡° Even if this kind of metal piece appears in a conspicuous place, it probably won¡¯t be noticed by others, right? What's more, it's actually hidden in the bluestone. The blood that came into contact with the metal piece was left behind only a little bit. If the "distance" is further, I am afraid that even this little bit will be attached to the bluestone and will not be able to support the last short section of the "road". ??Whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, there is just a little bit of blood??, attached to the metal sheet and absorbed by it. Immediately afterwards, something that seemed destined and seemed to be a coincidence happened. Not long after absorbing the blood, the silver-gray metal piece seemed to be stimulated by the blood and began to revive. It actually bloomed with a faint silver light and gradually became brighter. "It's a pity that the metal piece is deeply embedded in the bluestone, and no matter how dazzling it is, it can't shine through. Outside the bluestone, the night was still hazy, except for the occasional chirping of insects, there was silence. Within the bluestone, brilliance shines. After a few breaths of time, the brilliance emitted by the metal piece suddenly dimmed and returned to its original silver-gray color without any warning, as if what just happened had never happened. The difference is that an inexplicable suction force suddenly appeared around the metal piece, causing the blood that had long stopped flowing on the bluestone wall to slowly "flow", as if summoned by the metal piece, towards it. flow away. Any blood that comes into contact with the metal sheet will, without exception, sink into the metal sheet and be absorbed.
