With Shen Luo's exquisite water control skills and his ability to sneak underwater, even if Jubaotang sent someone to follow him, they should have been thrown off.
Although this move was overly cautious, it was necessary for the sake of one's own safety.
"I'm still not strong enough. I need to be more careful and cautious in the future." Shen Luo warned himself again and then looked around.
This was a remote area located by a river. He listened attentively to the conversations of the residents in the distance and soon learned that this was the "Quchifang" in the east of the city, and nearby was the famous royal garden Furong Garden.
Shen Luo looked thoughtful as he considered his next move.
If you want to ensure your own safety, leaving Chang'an City is the best way. However, if you leave here, you may never find another place with such abundant resources for cultivating immortals.
"There are millions of residents in Chang'an City. I can hide among them. As long as I don't show up and cause trouble, I don't think Jubao Hall will be able to find me. Moreover, various forces gather here. Although Jubao Hall is powerful, it can't cover the sky with one hand. I'd better stay here first and improve my cultivation." He weighed the pros and cons in his mind and quickly made a decision.
Shen Luo rubbed his face with his hands a few times, changed into another appearance, and walked towards Quchifang.
Half a day later, he disguised himself as a businessman from outside the area and bought a small courtyard in a remote area as his place to stay.
Quchifang is located in a remote area and is inhabited by lower-class people from all walks of life. The population mobility is extremely high, making it a perfect place for hiding.
Then, Shen Luo changed into another appearance, went to another nearby area, hired a messenger, and delivered a letter to Zhou Tie in Changpingfang.
In the letter, he mentioned that he would be leaving Chang'an City for a while and told her not to worry. At the same time, he used obscure words to let Zhou Tie tell Xie Yuxin that the residence had been discovered by Jubaotang and suggested that Xie Yuxin move somewhere else.
After doing all this, Shen Luo no longer paid attention to other things and returned to his new residence to begin preparing for the next period of seclusion and training.
He specially selected this courtyard, which is very close to Qu River outside Quchifang.
He summoned the sea worm Maochun, used its ability to drill into the ground, and combined with his water control technique, he quickly dug an underground passage connecting the well in the courtyard and the Qu River.
With this passage, Shen Luo felt much more at ease.
He then assembled a simple underwater platform in the well using several wooden pillars and a stone slab, and soon began his retreat there.
However, he did not start practicing immediately. Instead, he took out three longevity pills, picked up one and swallowed it with his head tilted back.
The pill melted in his mouth, turning into a stream of cold air that entered his lower abdomen.
This airflow emitted an unexpected chill that caused Shen Luo's body to tremble, and his cheeks quickly turned a blue-black color.
But the cold air flow circled around his body twice, and suddenly the breath changed, from cold to hot.
His face quickly turned from dark blue to red, and there was even heat rising from his head.
But not long after, the hot air turned cold again.
With such alternation of cold and heat, Shen Luo's body was sometimes hot and sometimes cold, constantly experiencing the baptism of ice and fire, but his spirit was getting better and better, and his eyes were getting brighter.
