The benefits of doing so are self-evident.

This makes the already very low-key and hidden gold-powder double-pedicle lotus even more hidden, making it even more difficult for others to detect it.

Even if a capable person detects an abnormality in the earth's veins in this area, he will only see the Earth Charm Turtle.

And take it for granted that all this is caused by it.

If there wasn't the Earthly Charm Turtle at the front, there might be monks who were passing by and noticed something unusual and came down to check the cause.

——The Xingxiu Sea has a radius of 50,000 miles, and its area is about the same as the third-level evil force Kurosawahara.

But the latter is inaccessible, and many areas have never even been visited by monks.

But the former is the base camp of Xingxiu Palace, and monks may pass by or even directly above their heads at any time, or even directly take this spiritual island as their destination.

Although this is unlikely, Meng Zhou's behavior does not consider success before failure, and he likes to prepare for the worst in everything.

Dealing with it now is the safest way he can think of.

…

Entering the "Lotus Space" and seeing the familiar dome wall made of pink lotus petals, Meng Zhou felt a sense of peace of mind from the bottom of his heart.

After resting for a while in this space that was completely exclusive to him, Meng Zhou focused his attention on Kou Chong again.

What needs to be mentioned is that even after entering this "lotus space" that was completely exclusive to him, Meng Zhou did not call out Bai Zhi and Yaya from the sea of ​​consciousness.

Meng Zhou had long discovered that neither Bai Zhi nor Yaya was as simple as "the true spirit of ancient paintings".

But what is certain is that the two of them must have a very deep connection with the Constellation Palace.

Meng Zhou was worried that if he summoned Bai Zhi and Yaya from the Xingxiu Sea, some unexpected changes would occur.

If this attracts unnecessary attention and brings some uncertain unknown variables to his infiltration, it is really not what Meng Zhou wants.

Now, all he wants to do is to reach the pinnacle of pill formation safely, to reach the breakthrough level, and to cultivate into Nascent Soul.

As long as he could control everything after he cultivated the Nascent Soul, Meng Zhou would have nothing to fear even if there was a pressure cooker under his butt that could explode at any time.

Right now, he doesn't care about anything, he just wants to focus on cultivating himself and improving his realm.

Everything else has to step back a little to make way for this.

…

Time flies, and several months pass by.

At the end of December, Kou Chong, who had stayed in the library hall for several months, was in a much worse state than when he came back in the later stages of his cultivation breakthrough.

Under Meng Zhou's "reminder", Kou Chong, who had been immersed in ancient books and had not noticed all this, suddenly woke up. From his body to his mind, a strong sense of fatigue rushed towards him like a mountain and a tsunami.

This time, Kou Chong made a "rational" choice. He read most of the ancient books in his hands, returned them to their original places, and strode out of the hall.

Passing through rows of bookshelves, Kou Chong was walking towards the entrance of the hall when he suddenly heard an unprovoked question.

"gone?"

Kou Chong was startled, stopped in his steps, turned around and looked to the left.

However, he saw that in the direction where he was looking, there was a recliner placed in the gap between a bookshelf and a huge square pillar, which was not too wide and could easily be ignored. "Uncle Zheng" was lying down with his eyes closed.

on top.

Compared with the previous time when he saw "Uncle Zheng" while he was basking in the sun, this time "Uncle Zheng" gave Kou Chong an eerie and cold feeling.

His cheeks can almost see the outline of his skull, his body is too thin, and his wrists and fingers seem to be covered with a thin layer of skin...

Even his slightly open lips when he was taking a nap made Kou Chong subconsciously think that there was decaying corpse air slowly floating out from inside.

If it weren't for "Uncle Zheng's" chest still rising and falling slightly rhythmically, Kou Chong would have doubted whether the "Uncle Zheng" in front of him was already dead.

Could the sound I just heard come from the dead body in front of me?

Or seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, "Uncle Zheng" opened his closed eyes with a pair of bright eyes.

"What? Are you stupid?"

Only then did Kou Chong realize his rudeness and said quickly: "Reading is too exhausting, I have to go back and recuperate for a while."

After saying that, Kou Chong paused and said in a strange way: "Come back in a month."

"Uncle Zheng" didn't seem to care about this. He waved his hand gently and asked, "Is it helpful?"

Kou Chong was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that "Uncle Zheng" was probably asking if the suggestions he gave him were helpful.

He nodded immediately and said: "Yes... it will help."

He actually wanted to say that he still didn't see where the specific help was, but such disappointing words were taken back by him before he could say anything.

"Uncle Zheng" seemed to be just asking casually, and said softly: "It would be great if it helps, it would be great if it helps."

As he said that, he waved his hand as if to drive away.

"Go, go, don't disturb my old man's sleep."

Kou Chong cursed in his heart, "Why do you think I care about this? You weren't the first to say it!"

However, I don't care about an old man who is dying.

Thinking like this, Kou Chong had already strode out of the library hall.

…

And just as Kou Chong returned to the cave to rest, Meng Zhou also began a new year of retreat.

Before entering deep concentration, Meng Zhou was still a little uneasy.

"But please don't do anything to me."

Meng Zhou was worried that some accident would happen during his retreat.

But it is even more impossible not to retreat because of this level of worry, so we can only take precautions.

For this reason, throughout the process of retreat, Meng Zhou always paid attention to the movements outside him.

This is really equivalent to sleeping with one eye open.

Fortunately, his current state of concentration is very special. When he enters deep concentration, his heart is like a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and everything around him will be clearly reflected in his heart.

There is no need to worry about the impact on your practice.

What comforted Meng Zhou was that no accidents occurred during the entire retreat.

The only thing worth mentioning during his entire retreat was that an uncontracted third-level rat demon approached near the valley where the Earth Charm Turtle was hiding.

But after sensing the aura mark specially left by the Earth Charm Turtle, the rat demon immediately stood up with rat hairs all over its body like steel needles, and with a swish, it dived into the earth and fled far away.

Yes, this rat demon is also a third-level demon that is affiliated with earth power and is good at earth escape and earth power manipulation.

Interestingly, its strength is about the same as that of the Earth Magic Turtle. Although its control of Earth Escape is slightly worse than that of the Earth Magic Turtle, its ability to mobilize the power of the earth is still above that of the Earth Magic Turtle.

Such a big demon with both strength and potential has not been contracted by anyone. It is not because of how well it hides it - for Xingxiugong Jiedan, as long as it is intentional, it cannot be avoided no matter how hard it is hidden.

The real reason is also very simple, just because he is too ugly.

When given a choice, Xingxiu Palace Jiedan will give priority to those monsters that are better-looking, more eye-catching, and more distinctive.

Monsters such as rat monsters, which give off a sneaky and insignificant appearance at first glance, are basically not considered unless absolutely necessary.

It can be said to be quite luxurious.

"This world is about looks. If you are ugly, you will feel uncomfortable even being a monster." Seeing the rat monster escaping in embarrassment, Meng Zhou couldn't help but joked in his heart.

Then, Meng Zhou thought of Bai Zhi. Her tendency in this regard was actually very serious.

If the monster is ugly, even if it is made into delicious food, she will find it difficult to swallow.

Meng Zhou suddenly discovered a new angle, which proved that Bai Zhi and Xingxiu Palace had a deep connection.

They are all just looking at faces, but the severity is different!

Meng Zhou also kept this discovery in mind.

Other than that, nothing else happened during the entire retreat.

Everything went well, and Meng Zhou ended this retreat.
