During these days, everyone's enthusiasm for cultivation increased day by day, and they never slackened off.
It is rare to have the opportunity to enter a blessed place like Lingxu Cave, which is so full of spiritual energy. Everyone is eager to use one day as two days, so as not to waste every minute and every second.
Of course, everyone knows that this is very unrealistic.
If you keep tightening your nerves, even if your body is as strong as a monk's, you are not invincible after all, and there will always be a day when you can't resist it.
Therefore, it is still necessary to combine work and rest.
In the safe area of Lingxu Cave, in addition to the clusters of stone houses, a large space has been set aside, where simple pavilions have been built, and many stone tables and chairs have been placed.
This is used as a place for everyone to communicate and relax after practicing.
Wang Ke'er dragged her cheeks and sat in the pavilion a little bored, but her eyes were looking at a stone house with a closed door not far away.
Suddenly, he felt someone tap his shoulder, and then pinched his cheek naughtily. Wang Keer couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Nana, don't make trouble!"
With a sweet smile, Duanmu Nana took the opportunity to sit down next to Wang Ke'er, her hands wrapped around her slim waist, and her chin rested on her shoulder.
"Why, you haven't seen your animal for a few days and you're already feeling lovesick?"
"How can there be?" Wang Keer's pretty face turned red and she quickly denied it.
"Oh, really?" Duanmu Nana raised her eyebrows and joked, "I have been standing behind you for nearly half an hour. If I hadn't taken the initiative to interrupt your wandering, maybe you would have waited for another hour.
You can’t find me, can you?”
"I'm afraid that if you sit there for several days, you won't turn into a stone of fortune by then."
Hearing this, Wang Keer looked ashamed and hurriedly defended: "I'm just... just thinking about something here, so I don't... think about that stinky guy!"
"Haha!" Duanmu Nana tilted her head and looked at her with a half-smile, "Ke'er, you stutter every time you lie. Why haven't you gotten rid of it yet?"
Wang Keer is so embarrassed.
"I won't tease you anymore." Duanmu Nana said and turned her gaze to the stone house not far away with the door closed. "Your animal hasn't been out for almost a week. Could he be...
...Did he die inside?"
"Nana!" The smile on Wang Keer's face disappeared instantly, and her voice suddenly became louder, "Don't make such a joke!"
Duanmu Nana was shocked. Wang Keer suddenly became very strange at this moment, which made her a little confused.
Fortunately, Wang Keer quickly discovered something was wrong, and she whispered: "I'm sorry, Nana, I didn't mean to be mean to you, it's just me..."
"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry." Duanmu Nana shook her head and said solemnly, "I'm sorry, Ke'er, I know you're worried about Zhou Shiqi, but you're still making sarcastic remarks."
Just when Wang Keer wanted to say something to comfort Duanmu Nana, a shuddering wave of terrifying energy swept through the entire safe zone and continued to spread into the depths of Lingxu Cave.
"What...what is going on?" Duanmu Nana jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
The people around who were sitting in the pavilion to rest and chat could no longer sit still. They all stood up with uneasy expressions and kept looking around.
In addition, not far away, the doors of each stone house were opened from the inside, and many people who were still cultivating came out with serious expressions.
Only Wang Keer glanced thoughtfully at the stone house not far away, with the only closed door.
Then, her eyes were bright and she stood up excitedly: "It's Lao Zhou, it must be him. Has he made a breakthrough?"
…
A stone room deep in the Lingxu Cave.
An old man with white beard and hair who was sitting cross-legged on the futon suddenly opened his eyes: "This wave... seems to be coming from the safe zone."
"Could it be that... someone has broken through to the first-grade Grandmaster realm?"
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes: "Okay, okay, I'm really sleepy. Give me a pillow."
"I'm worried that I don't have a decent opponent here, so I'm a little too busy."
“Now I can finally move my muscles and bones!”
"However, the opponent has just broken through, so I don't know if they can let me have a good time?"
…
In Zhou Shiqi's stone house.
At this time, Zhou Shiqi, with his eyes closed tightly, sat cross-legged on the stone bed with a peaceful expression.
But his body was not calm at all, and there was constant roaring.
"Rumble..."
The obsidian-like bones of the whole body resonated, and a faint black light came out of the body.
The originally bright red marrow in the bones has now completely transformed into a crystal-clear and shiny color like agate, which is so bright and dazzling.
Thanks to the successful marrow replacement, Zhou Shiqi soon discovered that the new bone marrow produced hematopoiesis very quickly.
Moreover, this new blood contains much more energy than the old blood.
This was not over yet. Under the impact of the fresh blood, the obsidian-like bones in his body continued to make thunderous sounds, and were polished to become more dazzling and translucent.
After a long while, the roar in Zhou Shiqi's body gradually subsided.
He slowly opened his eyes, which were deep and dark, like two black holes that were constantly rotating.
After clenching his fist, Zhou Shiqi could clearly feel that there was explosive terrifying energy everywhere in his body.
"Is this the power of a first-grade master?"
"Sure enough, the first-level master realm and the first-level master realm are two completely different concepts."
"At this time, I am more than ten times stronger than before I made the breakthrough."
Thinking of this, Zhou Shiqi couldn't help but feel scared. Only then did he understand how lucky it was that Erha's clone was able to kill the vulture Rogge.
"However, judging from the feedback from Erha's clone, it seems that even if Rogge the Vulture tries his best, he won't be able to reach my level, right?"
Just after a second thought, Zhou Shiqi guessed the reason.
Kung Fu!
What he practices is Qianyuan Sect's Obsidian True Solution. Even if you look at the boundless sea of stars, this sect is a top-notch skill. How can it be compared to the ordinary skills on earth?
Of course, whether it is or is not remains to be verified.
"I've been in retreat for nearly a week, it's time to go out."
"It's just that the moment I broke through, the noise was a bit loud."
"Afraid that it will become known to everyone?"
"Forget it, you'll know if you know it. I have no intention of hiding it anyway."
"However, I am a little curious. Once they learn that I have broken through to the first-grade master realm, what will the expressions of the people outside be like?"
With a chuckle, Zhou Shiqi's lips showed a hint of a bad smile: "I have a little expectation..."
