"It's really unfortunate that Senior Ma Liang left Jianye the day before yesterday. Before leaving, he didn't say when he would return, but only said that we would meet again if we were destined to." Shen Luo said after a slight hesitation.
Of course he knew that the Bai family wanted to recruit Horse-Faced God, but since he was a ghost from the underworld after all, it was impossible for him to agree.
"This is such a pity..." Bai Hecheng said with some regret.
Shen Luo talked with him for a while, then said goodbye and left.
At night, Shen Luo packed up, took the stone box, left his courtyard in the forest, and headed for the secret room at the bottom of the lake.
When he closed the gate, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He looked up at the sky and saw scattered white snowflakes falling from the cumulus clouds. Unknowingly, it was already early winter.
Shen Luo came to the lake, opened the secret passage, and walked into the bottom of the lake.
After showing the token to the elder sitting at the bottom of the lake, he chose a secret room at the deepest part and walked in.
After the stone door of the secret room was closed, Shen Luo came to the cushion and sat down cross-legged.
He was not in a hurry to start practicing. Instead, he closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, while silently recalling the scenes of his practice in his dreams. Some of his past insights and experiences began to return to his sea of consciousness.
He opened the stone box, stretched out two fingers and gently pinched it, and took out a white jade bottle several inches high.
Shen Luo shook the bottle gently and pulled out the cork.
As soon as the bottle mouth was opened, a wisp of rich water spirit power floated out of the bottle and instantly filled the entire secret room.
Shen Luo took a deep breath and carefully tilted the bottle slightly. A drop of transparent water, as crystal clear as dew, immediately rolled out from the mouth of the bottle and fell into his palm.
As the water drops fell on his palm, Shen Luo immediately felt a cool feeling seeping into his body, and the magic power in his dantian was eager to rush out even without his activation.
Shen Luo was delighted, and while silently reciting the incantation of the third level of the nameless heavenly book in his mind, his hands immediately lit up with a blue light, and strands of magic power began to gather in them, refining the drop of Three Elements True Water.
To his surprise, the Three Elements True Water seemed to be very compatible with the nameless technique. It was easy for him to completely integrate the water drops into his magic power, and then transfer it back into his body, circulating rapidly in his veins.
However, within a few breaths, his magic power had already circulated a full circle in his body. Although the speed was slower than in his dream, it was many times faster than his previous practice.
“It’s really a good thing!”
Shen Luo said this in his heart, and immediately used all his strength to activate his magic power, circulating the Qi in the body according to the formula of the third level of the technique, and soon immersed in it.
At the same time, the magic arrays engraved on the four walls of the secret room also lit up, absorbing the spiritual energy from the lake above and transporting it into the secret room. Finally, it followed the patterns on the ground and gathered around Shen Luo.
Blue light surged under his entire body, as if he was floating on a piece of green waves, leisurely and comfortable.
…
Winter goes and spring comes, the autumn rain is bleak, and a year has passed quickly.
Shen Luo went into seclusion several times on and off. With the blessing of his practice experience in dreams and the assistance of Sanyuan True Water, his cultivation level steadily increased. In more than half a year, he advanced three levels, reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Bigu stage.
