Chapter 228 Retreat and Practice
After all, the battle situation on the front line is full of too many uncertainties. Gu Yang and Hu Qing returned to the training room in the villa. They were ready to break through and not stay any longer.
Only by improving your own strength can you play a role in the upcoming battle.
The two decided to practice in seclusion first, digest all the gains in the secret realm, and then follow the sect to the East China Sea to resist the invasion of alien demons.
Gu Yang's voice was filled with seriousness: "Ah Qing, I want to break through to the Jindan stage directly this time. You must be prepared. Although the elders didn't say it, I can guess that the situation on the front line is not optimistic."
Hu Qing nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Okay, I also plan to light up all the golden cores. Don't worry about breaking through. I'll be right beside you. This time, practice hard and transform all the gains in the secret realm into your own strength."
After their bodies calmed down, the two of them sat cross-legged on the cushions, ready to start practicing the spirit gathering formation.
After buying the furniture, there were still more than 800 contribution points left out of the 1,000 contribution points given by Elder Han. Although it was not much, it was enough for them.
The key now is that someone needs to take care of Xiao Zi. After all, it is still a young dragon. Without someone to look after it, it will definitely not be able to take care of itself.
Gu Yang looked outside the training room and said worriedly, "Xiao Zi is still young. Someone must take care of it while we are in seclusion."
Hu Qing nodded. This was indeed a big problem. His eyes lingered on the sect token, and then he said:
"Let's go find Elder Han. His clone should be free. At worst, we can send him a few more jars of wine as a thank you."
"it is good"
Afterwards, Gu Yang used the sect token to ask Elder Han to send a clone to take care of Xiao Zi.
Elder Han's clone does have enough ability and experience to take care of Xiao Zi, so they can retreat with peace of mind.
Gu Yang's fingers slid across the light curtain quickly: "Elder Han, we need your help. We are planning to go into seclusion to break through, and Xiao Zi needs someone to take care of her."
Elder Han replied quickly. It should be the end of morning class now. "You've broken through so quickly. I wasn't wrong about you. Don't worry. Just practice well. I'll send a clone to take care of Xiao Zi."
Since Elder Han said so, the two of them felt relieved.
Afterwards, Gu Yang left dozens of ores on the ground. These ores could provide Xiao Zi with enough energy to ensure that it would not go hungry during their retreat.
Suddenly, a light flashed in the training room. It was Elder Han's clone.
Although his figure was illusory, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
The two were shocked. Why did it come so quickly this time? Gu Yang asked softly:
"You're a little too fast this time, and why didn't you come in through the main door?"
The clone said with a bitter face: "When Elder Yan came out of retreat, he passed on some of his cultivation experience to this old fellow. Now this old fellow is very adept at the path of the soul and his progress couldn't be faster.
This time, it was something he realized that could randomly teleport me to the place he designated."
Hu Qing swallowed his saliva after hearing this. Isn't this ability a bit too incredible?
If someone suddenly comes up from behind and stabs you in a battle, no amount of defense can prevent it.
The clone looked around the training room, then naturally put the ore on the ground into the storage ring and said:
"You two should just focus on your training and pretend I don't exist. Where's that little thing? Where did it go?"
Gu Yang pointed to the second floor and said, "It's sleeping on the balcony. Don't spoil it too much. Beat it when it needs to be beaten and feed it less every day."
The clone nodded, then walked out of the training room without looking back and went to the second floor.
After the footsteps disappeared, the two of them sat in the center of the training room, inserted the sect token, and activated the formation.
As the formation was activated, the spiritual energy in the training room began to gather rapidly, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex.
The two of them sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the rich spiritual energy. Now was the critical moment to improve their strength.
They have no shortage of resources and opportunities, but they are just too short of time.
Everything seemed to be running in the front, and the two of them were desperately chasing behind, only to overtake and be overtaken again and again.
The two of them calmed down and practiced. Their spiritual power gradually merged with the spiritual energy in the spirit gathering array, and every breath was filled with rich spiritual energy.
The spiritual power in their meridians is growing rapidly, and each cycle is stronger than the last.
The clone came down holding Xiao Zi in his arms. Xiao Zi watched quietly outside the training room, with curiosity glittering in his eyes.
It seemed to be able to feel the spiritual energy in the spirit gathering array through the thick stone door, and its body was also absorbing this spiritual energy.
Although it is not as fast as Hu Qing and Gu Yang, it is also a rare opportunity for it to practice.
As time went by, the spiritual energy in the training room became more and more dense, and the auras of Hu Qing and Gu Yang became stronger and stronger.
This retreat will be an important turning point in their cultivation career.
In the training room, the vortex of spiritual energy was spinning faster and faster, and the figures of Hu Qing and Gu Yang were looming in the spiritual energy.
Their minds are completely immersed in cultivation, and everything in the outside world has nothing to do with them.
Xiao Zi had also fallen asleep in the clone's arms, and a small vortex of spiritual energy had formed around its body.
It was also absorbing spiritual energy in its sleep, and its aura was slowly growing.
The clone standing nearby felt a little numb. How could there be three monsters in this family?
Time passed quietly during their cultivation. Hu Qing and Gu Yang's aura became stronger and stronger, and their bodies began to emit a faint light.
Hu Qing sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. His breathing was slow and deep, and every breath seemed to resonate with the surrounding spiritual energy.
Inside his body, the golden elixir was like a bright star, slowly rotating and emitting a soft light.
Above the golden elixir, seven lines were like mysterious runes, gradually lighting up with the flow of spiritual energy.
Hu Qing's consciousness was immersed in the golden elixir, and he could feel the changes brought about when the last line was lit up.
With each character that was lit up, his thoughts became clearer, as if he could see through the mysteries of all things in the world.
However, when all the lines were gradually lit up and only the last two characters remained, Hu Qing encountered a problem.
These two characters were like stubborn stones. No matter how he mobilized his spiritual power, they seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and could not be lit up.
Hu Qing frowned slightly, and a trace of anxiety surged in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
In the path of cultivation, the most taboo is to be restless and irritable. Only when your mind is as calm as still water can you glimpse the great way.
He took a deep breath and tried to adjust his breathing rhythm to bring his mind to a state of emptiness.
As his mind calmed down, Hu Qing tried again to inject spiritual power into the two characters.
This time, he was no longer impatient, but handled it slowly and gently, as if he was treating a fragile work of art.
As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on Hu Qing's forehead, but his heart became more and more determined.
Finally, under the continuous nourishment of countless spiritual powers, the two characters began to respond. They were like ancient creatures that had been awakened, gradually emitting a faint light.
However, just when Hu Qing thought he was about to succeed, the two characters suddenly seemed to be swallowed by some force, and the light dimmed instantly.
Hu Qing's heart sank. This might be the limit of his current cultivation. If he wanted to light up these last two characters, he would need more accumulation and understanding.
At the same time, Gu Yang on the side seemed to be doing exceptionally well.
The spiritual energy in his body surged like a flood, and he could feel the growth of strength with every movement.
Gu Yang's cultivation was already close to the Jindan stage. With the help of the spirit gathering array, he released all the pent-up spiritual energy in his body, and the prototype of a round golden elixir was quietly taking shape.
A satisfied smile appeared on Gu Yang's face. He could feel his strength rising continuously, and that growth of strength filled him with confidence.
As long as he takes one more step forward, he will be able to truly enter the Jindan stage. His combat power will increase countless times compared to now, and he will have the confidence to kill the demons.
A week passed in a flash, and Gu Yang finally broke through to the early stage of Jindan after a deep meditation.
He opened his eyes, a gleam in them, and a powerful aura emanated from his body, causing the spiritual energy in the entire training room to fluctuate.
"Brother Gu, congratulations on successfully entering the Jindan stage." Hu Qing was also awakened by this spiritual energy, and congratulated Gu Yang when he saw his breakthrough.
