After adjusting to this step, Meng Zhou found that the difficulty suddenly increased a lot.

First of all, it is not an easy task to find the difference, and the mental effort is also rapidly increased.

Even with his fourth-level mid-level "spiritual master" attainment, he gradually started to feel dizzy.

Meng Zhou stopped decisively and did not continue.

Although the work in hand has not reached a truly perfect state, there is still room for improvement.

But Meng Zhou believes that this is very, very enough for now.

"Unless there is a spiritual master in Xingxiu Palace, he is a spiritual master whose attainments exceed the fourth-level mid-level and reach the fourth-level high-level spiritual master!"

"Unless Xingxiu Palace will register all the monsters assigned to disciples in detail down to the hair!"

With this thought in his mind, Meng Zhou punched a group of divine soul clones prepared in advance into the monkey demon's eyebrows.

Then, Meng Zhou threw back the monkey demon that he had finished handling.

…

Quiet room.

A sleeping monkey demon appeared out of thin air with its eyes closed.

The figure sitting cross-legged on the stone couch lightly tapped the beast bag on his waist, and the monkey demon that had just appeared in the void was sucked into the beast bag.

…

Meng Zhou also used the method of "time editing" to erase all traces of abnormalities.

In particular, traces such as the monk summoning the contracted monster and forcing the contracted monster to spew out the essence and blood of his heart were all deleted and replaced with the appearance of "everything is business as usual, nothing happened".

After doing all this, Meng Zhou decisively revoked his control over the monks and allowed him to regain his freedom.

…

Quiet room, on the stone couch.

The monk who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, meditating quietly, saw a pair of eyes turning slightly under his eyelids, showing signs of waking up.

After a while, the monk slowly opened his eyes and looked around, with a little doubt in his eyes.

Then, he carefully checked his condition.

After doing all this and not finding any problems, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a rather self-deprecating look on his face.

"My efforts in cultivating my mind are still not good enough."

He attributed his lack of thoughts just now to the imminent return, and his mind left the cage to play before his body came out.

Regarding this, apart from secretly warning himself that he needed to work more on cultivating his mind in the future, he did not continue to dwell on the matter.

It can be said that it is very normal for monks to occasionally have irregular thoughts during their practice.

This is like a lazy cancer in people. Everyone knows that this is not a good thing, and they all want to eradicate this disease, but how many of them can really do this?

Therefore, although he reflected on it, he actually did not take it to heart.

From beginning to end, he never realized that one of the monsters in his beast bag had been quietly slipped out of the bag.

In his opinion, all the monsters in the beast bag are well-behaved and stable.

When they need peace and quiet, they never act up and always sleep obediently in their animal bags.

Being secretly dropped?

Not to mention the consistency in appearance, temperament, charm, and ability, and more importantly, the contracts he signed with them are all there, without any problems.

Under such circumstances, what kind of extraordinary imagination is required to have such an idea.

…

Time flies and it is already half a month later.

At this moment, the monk had left the quiet room and came to stand in the hall in the center of the cave.

At a certain moment, the void not far in front of the monk suddenly rippled, and a middle-aged monk appeared there out of thin air.

When the monk saw this, he was surprised and said: "Brother Zhai, the palace actually arranged for you to take my place?"

The middle-aged monk did not give him a good look and hummed:

"Kou Chong, why don't you act for me? There are only so many people qualified to participate in the rotation. Do you dare to say that you really didn't expect it?

If you really care about me, don't apply to the palace!

Now give me the pretense and expect me to accept your favor, ha!"

The monk chuckled twice and defended himself:

"Brother, what can I do alone?

I don’t want to apply. There are so many people in the Outer Realm, so someone will apply... Besides, my cultivation level will definitely arrive when the time comes, so I can’t delay.”

The middle-aged man known as "Senior Brother Zhai" first complained, probably feeling that he was now a firefighting captain. Wherever there was a hole, Xingxiu Palace would fill him in.

Finally, after listening to Kou Chong's reasons, his expression quietly changed.

"Can't delay? Hehe..."

"Can't delay? Haha..."

"Can't delay? Haha..."

"Senior Brother Zhai" repeated this sentence repeatedly, his expression and tone kept changing.

His behavior made Kou Chong next to him feel frightened, and he thought to himself, "Senior Brother Zhai" must be suffering from some kind of hysteria, right?

"Senior brother? Senior brother?...Senior brother?"

He shouted "Senior Brother Zhai" several times before he woke up again.

"ah?"

"Senior brother, what happened to you just now? You look a little scary." Kou Chong asked worriedly.

"Senior Brother Zhai" was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I just remembered something."

"It's okay." Kou Chong nodded.

"Senior Brother Zhai" stared at him again and suddenly asked: "You are going back this time to plan a breakthrough to the late stage of pill formation, right?"

"Yes." Kou Chong nodded.

"Senior Brother Zhai" stared at him carefully and said slowly: "Let me give you a suggestion."

"Senior brother, please tell me." Kou Chong said.

"Don't be too busy breaking through. Although you have reached the peak of the sixth level now, you are still a little short of the water-filled state. You can spend more time and continue to polish it." "Senior Brother Zhai" said.

Kou Chong, who originally looked expectant, looked disappointed after hearing this suggestion. He nodded first, then shook his head and said:

"I know my level of heat is not quite there yet. I really like it when the water is overflowing, but if it's not there, I won't force it on purpose."

In the constellation palace where geniuses gather, it is easier for people to see themselves clearly.

Kou Chong was very clear about his position. Although he was a genius, there was still a gap between him and the top people in the palace.

He would be very satisfied if he achieved 99 points on a 100-point test paper.

He will not force a perfect answer.

He knew very well that if he wanted to make up for the remaining one point, he might have to pay more than he had to pay to gain the ninety-nine points before!

This is not cost effective.

It's not necessary.

"Senior Brother Zhai" heard this, but he laughed twice with unknown meaning again, and said: "Are you trying to compete for time? Do you want to reach the ninth level of pill formation as soon as possible?"

Kou Chong nodded: "Yes."

As for what to do after reaching the ninth level of elixir formation, for practitioners, does this need to be said?

The ninth level of Danjie is the pinnacle of Danjie. After reaching this height, isn't it natural to consider climbing the higher mountain in front of you?

And a well-known truth is that when trying to hit the big realm, the younger you are, the greater the advantage.

"Senior Brother Zhai" laughed strangely again and asked, "Do you know why I suggested that?"

Kou Chong said: "You want me to accumulate more deeply?"

"Senior Brother Zhai" raised his finger and said:

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!... Does it make any difference whether the accumulation is deeper or shallower?"

"I just want you to live longer."

Kou Chong was really confused after hearing this.

How can there be no difference in the depth of accumulation?

If this is the case, why would someone choose to play it safe and continue to accumulate when they clearly can break through?

It’s not just about coveting the benefits of accumulating deeper!

As for "live longer", this is true, but when it comes from "Senior Brother Zhai", it seems strange. Is this the same "Senior Brother Zhai" who is willing to give up everything for the sake of the great road?
