The losers begged to no avail, so they had no choice but to leave in despair.
This time no one bothered Chen Hao anymore.
Cultivation has no time, and time passed quietly in Chen Hao's single-minded cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
In the pulse-protecting spiritual formation, Chen Hao, who looked like a statue, slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were like two rays of lightning, instantly lighting up the entire platform.
Chen Hao did not stand up, but first used his spiritual consciousness to inspect himself and check his own cultivation.
After a while, Chen Hao withdrew his consciousness, frowned slightly, and said to himself: "Is this the peak of the late foundation building stage?"
According to the small goal he set, after this training, he should return to the early stage of Jindan cultivation before the time travel, or take a step closer to reach the peak of the early stage of Jindan.
Of course, the plan was for two months, and it has only been one month now. If the time is not up, it is not considered a failure.
The reason why he stopped practicing early was because he had run out of spiritual stones, and the spiritual energy supplied by Xianhefeng's spiritual veins was also much less than before. Chen Hao felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth he had absorbed was not enough, so he woke up automatically.
Chen Hao stood up and glanced at the platform, only to see the gray-white stone powder left after all the spiritual stones were absorbed everywhere.
The five hundred spiritual stones that were enough for an ordinary foundation-building monk to use for almost two years now have not a single stone left.
Chen Hao used his spiritual consciousness to scan Xianhefeng's spiritual veins again, and found that the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins had decreased significantly because he absorbed too much too quickly.
Although he transformed the pulse-protecting spiritual formation and his ability to condense the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins was several times stronger than before, the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins is limited and will naturally be greatly reduced if he absorbs it crazily.
Without the spiritual stones, the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins has also been reduced. If you continue to practice, you will not have the original practice speed.
"Although the Xianhefeng spiritual vein is already the best spiritual vein in the Zhou family, it is still far behind for me, and five hundred spiritual stones are too few. The Zhou family's ruined temple is too small, and I really can't squeeze out a few.
To divide the oil and water, it seems that we should grab some better spiritual veins and more spiritual stones."
Chen Hao thought to himself, walked out of the pulse protection spiritual array, unfolded his consciousness, and scanned the surroundings.
His cultivation level has returned to the peak of the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and his spiritual consciousness is as powerful as the peak of the late stage of Golden Core. With a single sweep, he can see every plant and tree within a hundred miles.
After a while, Chen Hao withdrew his consciousness.
More than a hundred miles away from Xianhe Peak, there are still two spiritual veins, but they are not as good as the Xianhe Peak spiritual veins, and they do not belong to the Zhou family, and I don’t know which force they belong to.
Although Zhou Ming is the most outstanding among the second-generation disciples of the Zhou family, his knowledge is limited to the Zhou family, and he doesn't know much about the outside world. He doesn't know the distribution of spiritual veins, resources, and specific strength of the peripheral forces.
As for the forces adjacent to the Zhou family, Zhou Ming knew a little bit about them, but the strength of these forces was similar to that of the Zhou family, and their spiritual vein resource conditions were also very different. Chen Hao had no interest in robbing them.
What he needs now is more spiritual stones and higher-grade spiritual veins.
In addition, when the cultivation level returns to the later stage of foundation building, the demand increases, and more resources are needed, such as elixirs and elixirs.
Chen Hao thought to himself: "It seems that I have to go back to the Zhou family to learn about the spiritual resources of the Dengli Mountains and the specific situation of the external forces, so that we can make the next step of cultivation arrangements."
He walked out of the pulse-protecting spiritual formation, casually pulled out a second-grade fire flying sword magic weapon from the formation's eye, and was about to fly into the sky.
Suddenly, Chen Hao felt something in his heart and looked up.
I saw the sound of breaking through the air in the distance, and a group of escaping lights roared towards me.
In the blink of an eye, the light flew in front of him, landed on the ground, and turned into a crowd of figures.
They are all members of the Zhou family.
Not only the head of the family Zhou Tianwang, the first elder Zhou Hetong, the fourth elder Zhou Liwei, the fifth elder Zhou Yongdong, but also other elders, deacons, guest officials and others.
In addition, there are also second-generation descendants of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang, Zhou Hua, Zhou Ping, Zhou Qiang, Zhou Liang and a descendant with a foreign surname, Lin Yixue, and others.
The entire Zhou family was almost mobilized.
"Zhou Ming, finally get out!"
Zhou Liwei had a bad temper and shouted first.
Chen Hao glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Everyone thought in their hearts, "F*ck," they all thought, "You still have the nerve to ask?"
They originally thought that Chen Hao was hiding in the pulse-protecting spiritual formation and would come out in ten and a half months at most. After all, for disciples in the Qi refining stage, they would not be in seclusion for too long if they had not reached Bigu.
Unexpectedly, more than half a month passed without any movement from Chen Hao.
Although everyone in the Zhou family was angry, since they had been waiting for so many days, there was no need to wait any longer.
No matter what, one month later, the second-generation children will hold a selection competition. It’s time for you, Zhou Ming, to come out, right?
Hey, I didn’t expect that when the selection competition started, Chen Hao didn’t come out either.
Everyone thought that Chen Hao was too absorbed in cultivation and had forgotten about it, so they specially sent Zhou Pingping to come to the spiritual veins to tell him repeatedly.
But Chen Hao still ignored it.
Everyone in the Zhou family was very surprised.
You must know that the selection competition is related to the selection quota of disciples of the Dengli Sect. Once you miss it, you will no longer be able to participate in the selection of disciples of the Dengli Sect.
What did Zhou Ming think?
Doesn't he want to participate in the selection of disciples of the Dengli Sect?
How is this possible! But if Chen Hao doesn't come out, the Zhou family can't do anything about it, and it's even more impossible not to hold the selection competition just because Chen Hao is alone.
So the selection competition was held as scheduled.
There was no suspense about the result. Zhou Yang worked hard and bravely, rose up strong and became a blockbuster. Not only did he defeat all the second-generation disciples and win the top spot, he also broke through to the late stage of Qi refining on the spot, shocking everyone in the Zhou family.
Zhou Tian was naturally extremely pleasantly surprised when he saw that his son had regained his natural talents.
Zhou Hetong and others were shocked, anxious, and worried.
Originally, as Chen Hao withdrew from the family dispute, their side's strength among the second-generation descendants had been greatly weakened. Fortunately, Chen Hao did not turn against Zhou Tianwang, so he was finally relieved.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang, a loser, has risen again, and in Chen Hao's absence, he has become the new leader of the second generation, and his prestige is even higher than when Zhou Ming was around.
Amidst the ebb and flow, their strength is not as good as that of Zhou Tianwang... As for Zhou Yang, although he has risen like a comet and succeeded in showing off in the selection competition... he stole the show and won the first place.
No one dared to look down upon him anymore. His status and status were completely different from those in the past, but Zhou Yang felt very unhappy.
The reason is naturally that Chen Hao did not participate in the selection competition.
Although he won the first place, he did not defeat Chen Hao in public. Not only did he not avenge his shame, but Zhou Ping, Zhou Qiang and other losers were also not convinced. What is your ability to say that you defeated us? If you have the ability to defeat our boss Zhou Ming, then
You are the real number one.
Zhou Yang suddenly felt a surge of fire in his heart, as if he had not pooped out a poop, and had an uncomfortable feeling of tenesmus.
