After returning from the Shi Family Mansion, Zhou Donghuang began to focus all his energy on cultivation.
As for the accounts of the Yang family and the two accounts of the Shi family, he asked Ah Fu to get them back. A total of 20 million taels of silver notes made him rich again, who was originally struggling.
You know, the two million taels of silver notes he had brought from Yunfeng County had almost been spent.
In the room, Zhou Donghuang, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing, suddenly opened his eyes, "When practicing the "Four Symbols Sovereign Art", does the state of being without distractions have to be accumulated over time to trigger?"
"The state of mind without distractions is all about concentration and calmness... There are many medicinal powders that can also help calm the mind and energy. Can I directly enter the state of mind without distractions by taking those medicinal powders?"
The "Four Symbols Sovereign Skill" that Zhou Donghuang is currently practicing, once he enters a state of concentration, his practice progresses very quickly, which is beyond the speed of his usual practice.
Just like before, when he was in Guangling County, a middle-level county, his cultivation level was still at the fifth level of Qi Gathering.
In just four months, when he arrived at King Chu City, his cultivation had reached the seventh level of Qi Gathering, and he had broken through two cultivation levels in succession.
This is all because he entered a state of mindlessness and triggered the ultimate cultivation speed of "Four Symbols Sovereign Skill".
However, in order to enter a state of mindlessness, one needs to practice in a closed-door situation without being disturbed by too much external interference.
Just now, Zhou Donghuang developed an idea:
Can he enter a state of undistracted cultivation in advance by preparing a medicinal powder that assists in concentrating his mind and calming his energy, so that his cultivation speed can be kept at the limit of the "Four Symbols Sovereign Kung Fu" at any time
"Try it."
Whatever he wanted to do, Zhou Donghuang found a pen and paper, wrote down the names of a bunch of medicinal materials on the paper, and then gave it to Ah Fu, asking Ah Fu to go out and buy all the medicinal materials on it.
It is not difficult to buy all the medicinal materials in the medicine shop in King Chu City.
What Zhou Donghuang planned to prepare was a medicinal powder called 'Ningshen Powder', which would allow people to enter a state of concentration and tranquility in the shortest possible time.
The Ningshen Powder is also the best medicinal powder that he can prepare to assist in concentrating the mind and calming the Qi without using the Samadhi True Fire that condenses the true energy.
"Master, these are the medicinal ingredients you want."
That night, Ah Fu bought the medicinal materials.
In less than half an hour, Zhou Donghuang prepared the Ningshen Powder he wanted and immediately took a bottle.
After taking the Ningshen Powder to practice, he was surprised to find:
Relying on the efficacy of Ningshen Powder, his cultivation speed reached the limit of the "Four Symbols Sovereign Skill" in just a quarter of an hour!
"With this cultivation speed... it won't take long for me to successfully enter the eighth level of Qi Gathering and become an eighth-level Qi Gathering martial arts monk with the power of eight cows!"
After discovering that Ningshen Powder was useful, even though Zhou Donghuang was as calm as water, he couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face.
After asking Ah Fu to find the inn and send a letter back to Yunfeng County, for the next period of time, Zhou Donghuang stopped caring about worldly affairs and fell into crazy cultivation.
…
The city of King Chu was as peaceful as ever.
Whether it is the Yang family, a wealthy family, or the Shi family, everything is going according to plan, everything is calm, there is nothing unusual, and there is no news.
However, many people in the Shi family found that they never saw the head of their Shi family, Shi Hao, in the next period of time.
As for the whereabouts of the head of the Shi family, according to Shi Yu, the eldest young master of the Shi family, he went out for something.
And all of this was arranged by Shi Ji, the head of the Shi family.
If the death of his son Shi Hao spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar within the Shi family and cause some unnecessary effects.
That day, after the young man left, he ordered Yang Yunji and Xiao Chen to keep silent and completely block the news of his son Shi Hao's death.
Because of this, although Zhou Donghuang showed great power in the living room of the Shi family mansion that day, the people who knew about it were only a few people present.
After Ren Jiapei returned home, she mentioned this matter to her father, the current head of the Ren family.
Her original intention was that no one in the Ren family should offend the boy next to Yang Zixi no matter what...
However, for everything she said, the head of the Ren family just laughed it off and didn't believe it at all.
No matter what she said, the head of the Ren family didn't believe her.
She was just short of bringing her father to be tortured by Brother Zhou.
In the end, although Ren Jiapei was helpless, she also knew the reason why her father didn't believe it... If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have believed that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy could easily defeat an eighth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk
Moreover, that eighth-level Qi Gathering martial arts monk was the old head of the Shi family, Shi Ji, who led the Shi family to become a powerful family five years ago.
"Zixi."
Now, Ren Jiapei will stay at Chuxiu Inn for a few days when she has nothing to do. After three months, her relationship with Yang Zixi has become the same as that of biological sisters. "I haven't seen Brother Zhou for a long time... Has he always been practicing?" "
"Um."
Yang Zixi smiled and nodded, letting Ren Jiapei mention her brother Zhou. When her autumn eyes narrowed, they curved into a crescent shape, which was very beautiful.
Some time ago, her brother Zhou taught her a new cultivation technique and gave her the Qi Gathering Powder that shocked her greatly.
In three months, she not only successfully entered the first level of Qi Gathering, but was not far from the second level of Qi Gathering.
At this time, she also realized:
Her brother Zhou is not an ordinary person, at least not by the standards of Yunyang Kingdom or even Yaowang Valley.
"Even among the younger generations of the top families and sects in Ziyun Star... I'm afraid no one can compare with Brother Zhou!"
Yang Zixi had this thought more than once, and at the same time she felt more and more lucky to get to know Brother Zhou.
"Zixi, I can tell... you like Brother Zhou."
Ren Jiapei smiled and said: "How about it? When are you going to confess your love? Do you want me to help you?"
After Ren Jiapei finished speaking, she thought that Yang Zixi would deny it shyly, but she found that Yang Zixi not only did not deny it, but instead let out a long sigh, "Sister Jiapei, I am very satisfied to be able to stay by Brother Zhou's side."
"As for the rest... I don't expect anything else."
"From the moment Brother Zhou avenges Third Uncle, my life belongs to Brother Zhou. Even if I spend this life as his slave, I am willing to do so."
After talking about it, a bitter smile subconsciously appeared on Yang Zixi's lips.
If it was three months ago, when she first left the Yang family, she might have had the courage to confess her love and strive for her own happiness...
But now, as she gets to know Brother Zhou better and better, she feels more and more that her Brother Zhou and she are from completely different worlds.
In front of Brother Zhou, she felt ashamed and felt that she was not worthy of him at all.
Perhaps, only the proud daughters of those top families and sects in Ziyun Star could be worthy of her brother Zhou.
"Silly girl."
Ren Jiapei didn't know what Yang Zixi was thinking. She shook her head, "Since you like Brother Zhou, you have to fight for it yourself... Many times, happiness is held in your own hands."
"Brother Zhou is so outstanding... If you didn't take action earlier, wouldn't you be giving others an advantage?"
Ren Jiapei is still persuading.
"Sister Jiapei...you don't like brother last week too, do you?"
Yang Zixi looked at Ren Jiapei seriously, and the latter lowered his head with a guilty conscience. Seeing this, Yang Zixi sighed secretly in her heart.
Although Ren Jiapei did not admit it personally, this performance was extremely obvious.
Just when the atmosphere between the two women became a little awkward, the door of the master room in the middle of the guest room courtyard was opened, and a figure dressed in white Shengxue walked out.
"Miss Ren is here?"
After three months, Zhou Donghuang walked out of the room for the first time, with a strange look on his brows.
He finally entered the eighth level of Qi Gathering!
"Brother Zhou?"
The appearance of Zhou Donghuang caught both women by surprise, and their attention immediately shifted to Zhou Donghuang.
"Brother Zhou."
Yang Zixi stood up from her seat, her beautiful cheeks showing a tenderness like water, and her eyes were slightly obsessed with looking at the boy whose childishness had almost completely faded away.
In three months, the boy had changed a lot, but he seemed more mature and charming.
"Brother Zhou, are you too obsessed with practicing?"
Ren Jiapei sighed: "In three months, I came here more than a dozen times, but never saw you once... Now, I finally know why you have such strength at this age."
Of course, even though he said this, Ren Jiapei knew clearly in his heart:
Ordinary people, even if they work harder than the young man in front of them, will definitely not have the strength of the young man at his age.
"What time is it now?"
After continuing to practice for three months, Zhou Donghuang could no longer remember what time it was, but according to Ren Jiapei, it should be around mid-December.
"Brother Zhou, today is December 19, 1228 in the Ziyun calendar."
Yang Zixi said with a smile.
"Brother Zhou, since you have temporarily stopped practicing and walked out of the room, you should go out for more walks... Otherwise, Zi Xi will probably be exhausted before you can hold it in."
Ren Jiapei looked at Zhou Donghuang and rolled her eyes as she spoke, "At the end of the month, there will be a gathering of descendants of a wealthy family in King Chu City. Brother Zhou, will you and Zi Xi accompany me?"
"I won't go, just take Zixi with you."
Zhou Donghuang shook his head. He had no interest in the gathering of descendants of wealthy families.
"Brother Zhou, Zi Xi and I are going together. What if we are bullied? Can you bear to watch us being bullied?"
Ren Jiapei pouted and said in a coquettish tone.
Zhou Donghuang raised his brows and glanced at Yang Zixi. He happened to see a glimmer of hope deep in the girl's eyes, and his heart suddenly softened, "Okay... I'll go with you then."
