[Realm: Fourth level of foundation building 996/1000]

Before entering the country for seclusion, Meng Zhou said to Yaya: "Old rules."

"Understood." The grasshopper jumped out of the quiet room.

The stone door of the quiet room closed silently behind her.

Two days later, in the early morning of June 23, the closed stone door quietly opened, and Meng Zhou walked out of the quiet room in high spirits.

…

[Life span: 53/466 years] (+15 years)

(Note: The statistics in Chapter 122 omit the 20 years added by the Spring Water Sutra breakthrough to the master, that is, 371 to 391 (see the end of Chapter 118). In addition to the increase of one year in Chapter 122, it is 451, plus 15 this time,

That is 466)

[Realm: Foundation Building 5th Floor 28/1000]

[Kung Fu: Second-level Spring Water Scripture Master 15000/16000, Soul Pond Lian Yuexin Master 5800/16000, Black Turtle Body Refining Master 7830/12000, First-level White Bear Hanji Body Perfection]

…

"The lifespan has been increased by another fifteen years. This is the gain that the Master Spring Water Sutra can bring under normal circumstances."

"So, the last increase in life span was indeed abnormal."

After half a year of accumulation, the cultivation level has broken through from the fourth level of foundation building to the fifth level of foundation building.

But after finishing the retreat, Meng Zhou's first concern was to increase his life span.

The small-level breakthrough in the middle stage of foundation building has increased the life span by fifteen years, which is already very good.

As far as Meng Zhou knows, under normal circumstances, although there is a lifespan gap between the initial stage of Foundation Establishment and the peak of Foundation Establishment among Foundation Establishment monks who practice the same technique, the gap is not as large as more than a hundred years.

Unless there are more critical breakthroughs such as the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage, breakthroughs in other small realms will not increase the life expectancy by more than ten years.

But he was able to increase his lifespan by fifteen years in the process of breaking through from the fourth level to the fifth level. This was an additional benefit brought by the Master Spring Water Sutra.

In comparison, it took sixty years to advance from the third level of foundation building to the fourth level of foundation building during the seclusion at the turn of winter and spring, which is exactly one month of life increase, which is particularly unusual.

"It seems that every year's rotation, removing the old and replacing the new, really contains a profound mystery."

Meng Zhou "tested the law by himself" and used his own personal experience to verify this point.

However, Meng Zhou didn't think about this matter for too long. It was still too high-end for him now.

Soon, Meng Zhou put aside the matter for the time being and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the practice of Soul Shock Technique, Shadow Escape Technique and Shadow Killing Sword Code.

Because of the improvement of his cultivation level and the more abundant mana, Meng Zhou spent a lot less time on adjusting his breath and recovering his energy while practicing the Shadow Escape Technique and the Shadow Killing Sword Technique, and the time he spent on formal practice increased, bringing him more energy every day.

Come for more experience.

Increased daily experience from +500 to +600.

At the same time, with this improvement in cultivation, the soul has also improved to a certain extent.

Although compared to Meng Zhou's current level of soul, this improvement is minimal. However, reflected in the practice of Soul Shock Technique, his daily experience of +300 has been increased to +320 daily experience.

And because rain must be cast every ten days to irrigate thousands of acres of spiritual fields, this takes up a lot of time to practice the Shadow Escape Technique and the Shadow Killing Sword Technique, but it has no impact on the training rhythm of the Soul Shock Technique.

On June 30th, Meng Zhou suspended the practice of Shadow Escape and Shadow Killing Sword Code because the two spiritual tea trees were in the season of picking again.

The two spiritual tea trees that Yaya carefully cared for have not only greatly improved compared to the first time they were picked, but their quality has also quietly advanced from the peak of the second-order low-grade to the second-order mid-grade.

After processing these spiritual teas, the master-level firebending, waterbending, and processing skills all increased by 800 experience points.

"Master of Firebending/Waterbending/Processing 1400/4000"

Late that night, when Meng Zhou finished other activities and entered the quiet room to prepare for retreat.

Both the Shadow Escape Technique and the Shadow Killing Sword Code gained 3,600 experience points. From the beginning, they passed through Xiao Cheng and Da Cheng, and were all promoted to the master level.

"Master of Shadow Escape 800/4000"

"Shadow Sword Master 800/4000"

Soul Shocking Technique has just completed seven complete training cycles and gained 2240 experience points. This technique has also been promoted from the first level to the minor level.

"Soul Shocking Technique Small Success 1340/2000"

…

Early morning on the third day of July.

When Meng Zhou ends this round of retreat, check the results of this retreat.

Cultivation progress +30, foundation building level 58/1000;

Second level Spring Water Sutra +600, Master 15600/16000;

Soul Pool Refining Moon Heart +600, Master 6400/16000;

Black Turtle Body Refining Technique +600, Master 8430/12000.

Meng Zhou used the moon mirror to check the growth of the Jade Heart Vermilion Fruit Vine in the Thousand Acres of Spiritual Fields. After confirming that everything was fine, Meng Zhou continued to devote himself wholeheartedly to the practice of Shadow Escape, Shadow Killing Sword Manual and Soul Shocking Technique.

.

As he became a master of the second-level high-level shadow escape technique, Meng Zhou felt more and more clearly that this was actually a clever fusion of the stealth, invisibility and flying escape techniques.

Besides this, there is also a hint of wall-penetrating charm.

Together, through clever combination and connection, they "match" together to create such a brand-new spell.

This technique not only gives you the extremely fast experience of flying escape technique, but it can also be done silently.

If you are in a dark shadow area, it will be even worse. The speed is faster than the flying escape technique, and it is also agile and ghostly.

Treat the "shadow" as a wall and borrow channels from high dimensions to achieve the effect of flashing and moving.

The Shadow Killing Sword Code, as a combat method that perfectly fits this technique, is not only exquisite and weird in technique, but also restrains all killings on a small flying sword, without causing any abnormal fluctuations to spread outward.

, this sword can also flash and move in the shadows like a shadow escape technique.

Meng Zhou was convinced that after mastering these two methods to a master's level, it would not be difficult for him to assassinate a late-stage foundation builder.

Even in a head-on confrontation with a late-stage foundation-builder, Meng Zhou was confident that he would not fall behind even without the help of physical training achievements.

If you reach the shadow area or at night, your opponent will only be defeated by you.

The only flaw is that the mana at the fifth level of foundation building makes his battery life extremely short.

A head-on confrontation is not a wise decision. This is a typical case of using one's own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points.

Sneak attacks and assassinations are his strengths.

…

The fifth day of July, courtyard.

Meng Zhou appeared and disappeared in each shadow area, now here, now there, a flying sword piercing the air at an angle that only he could feel, running rampant in various areas of the courtyard.

But on the surface, the entire courtyard is silent, empty and quiet.

At this moment, a flying consciousness message came from the distance.

After entering the courtyard, this small mana ball suddenly seemed to have lost its way. It shot under the elegant house for a while, but only halfway there, it suddenly changed direction and ran into the quiet room, but it had not yet entered the quiet room.

, then readjusted the direction and shot towards a certain direction of the high wall of the pond.

But in the end, a hand quietly reached out from the side of a spiritual bamboo and held the small mana ball in its hand.

After reading the information, Meng Zhou had an idea and took the grasshopper Yaya hidden under the leaf of a spiritual plant into the sea of ​​​​consciousness. After instructing the two mysterious turtles to look at home, he locked the formation and flew away into the distance.

And go.

Not long after, Meng Zhou came to Kan Yue's farmland again.

Compared with the last time, this gathering has three more people, and the number of people in the gathering has reached eleven.

At this gathering, everyone was obviously much closer and familiar than the last time.

Many fellow Taoists contributed some spiritual fruit and spiritual wine for everyone to taste.

Meng Zhou also shared some of his spiritual teas, which he already had at the second level and had master-level processing skills, and received unanimous praise from everyone.

Everyone communicated freely, and did not shy away from some situations in their original fields, and took the initiative to share them to enrich everyone's knowledge.

Kan Yue also took the opportunity to announce to everyone that he is now an official member of the Sanchuan Society. After an initial period of busyness, he has now adapted and stabilized.

Meng Zhou was curious: "Then are you still running this spiritual field?"

"Of course!" Kan Yue said matter-of-factly.

"Wouldn't that be very busy?"

As far as Meng Zhou knows, members of the Sanchuan Society such as Governor Li Xiangli do not cultivate their own spiritual fields, and all their income comes from the distribution of profits within the Sanchuan Society.

However, if they are willing, of course they can work as subordinates and landlords at the same time. They can serve themselves, eliminate the need for middlemen, and earn more. The only problem is that time will be very tight.

Either he is tending his own spiritual field, or he is working for other people's spiritual fields.

Kan Yue smiled and said:
