With Shen Luo's exquisite water-controlling skill and his ability to move underwater, even if the Jubao Hall sent someone to follow him, he should have been shaken off.
Although this move was too cautious, it was necessary for his own safety.
"My strength is still not enough. I have to be more careful in the future." Shen Luo warned himself again, and then looked around.
This was a remote area by the river. He listened to the conversations of the residents in the distance and soon learned that this was the "Qu Chi Square" in the east of the city, and nearby was the famous royal garden, Hibiscus Garden.
Shen Luo was deep in thought as he considered his next move.
If he wanted to ensure his own safety, leaving Chang 'an City was the best way. But if he left here, he was afraid that he would not be able to find a second place with such abundant cultivation resources.
"There are millions of residents in Chang 'an City. If I hide among them, as long as I don't make trouble, the Jubao Hall won't be able to find me. And there are all kinds of forces here. Although the Jubao Hall is powerful, it can't cover the sky with one hand. I'd better stay here and improve my cultivation. "He weighed in his mind and quickly made a decision.
Shen Luo rubbed his face a few times with his hands, changed into another appearance, and walked into the Qu Chi Square.
Half a day later, he disguised himself as a merchant from another city and bought a small courtyard in a remote area as his place of residence.
The Qu Chi Square was remote, and the people who lived here were all low-class people. There was a large turnover of people, and it was suitable for hiding.
Then, Shen Luo changed into another appearance, went to another nearby area, hired a messenger, and sent a letter to Zhou Tie of Changping Square.
In the letter, he mentioned that he would leave Chang 'an City for a period of time and asked Zhou Tie not to worry. At the same time, he asked Zhou Tie to tell Xie Yuxin that the residence had been investigated by the Jubao Hall, and suggested that Xie Yuxin move elsewhere.
After doing this, Shen Luo no longer distracted himself. He returned to his new residence and began to prepare for his next closed-door cultivation.
He specially chose this small courtyard, and it was very close to the Qu River outside the Qu Chi Square.
He summoned the Sea Caterpillar Mao Chun and used its ability to drill into the ground. Together with his Water Manipulation Technique, he quickly dug an underground tunnel that connected the well in the courtyard to the meandering river.
With this passage, Shen Luo felt a lot more at ease.
He then used a few wooden pillars and a stone slab to form a simple platform in the water. Soon, he began his closed-door cultivation.
However, he didn't immediately start cultivating. Instead, he took out three Life Prolonging Milk Spirit Pills and swallowed one of them.
The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, turning into an ice-cold stream of air that entered his lower abdomen.
This stream of air exuded a chilling aura, causing Shen Luo's body to tremble incessantly. A layer of greenish-black color quickly appeared on his cheeks.
However, after the icy cold Qi circled his body twice, it suddenly changed from icy cold to scorching hot.
His face quickly turned from black to red, and there was even steam rising from the top of his head.
However, it didn't take long for this scorching aura to turn icy cold again.
With this alternating cold and hot, Shen Luo's body was alternating between hot and cold, constantly experiencing the baptism of ice and fire. However, his spirit was getting better and better, and his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
After half an hour, the aura of the pill had completely merged into his body.
Shen Luo's body also returned to its original state, and he was overjoyed.
At this moment, there wasn't a single part of his body that was uncomfortable. All the fatigue and pain had been swept away, and the Blood Essence he had consumed to refine the Pure Yang Sword Embryo seemed to have been replenished by more than half.
More importantly, he could vaguely feel that the vitality in his body that had disappeared for a long time had returned. This was a sign that his lifespan had increased.
Shen Luo didn't continue to take the second Milk Spirit Pill. Instead, he sat cross-legged and absorbed the remaining medicinal efficacy in his body.
Three days later, all the medicinal efficacy in his body had been absorbed, and he continued to take the second Milk Spirit Pill.
Seven days later, he also took the third Milk Spirit Pill.
Shen Luo sat cross-legged in the well, and his face was full of vitality. The Blood Essence he had consumed to refine the Pure Yang Sword Embryo had been completely restored.
According to his estimation, his lifespan should have recovered by about fifty years.
"Finally, I don't have to worry about my lifespan for the time being. I can cultivate in peace." Shen Luo let out a long sigh.
Shen Luo withdrew his thoughts, closed his eyes, and silently recalled the summary of his cultivation experience during the fasting period in the dream. He took out the jade bottle containing the Second Element Primordial Water, poured out a drop and smeared it on his skin.
A rich water spiritual energy seeped into his body, and the mana in his dantian began to circulate on its own without being activated.
Shen Luo took a deep breath, and immediately activated the Nameless Divine Art to absorb the water spiritual energy contained in the Second Element Primordial Water.
The water spiritual energy contained in the Second Element Primordial Water was far superior to that of the Third Element Primordial Water. The Nameless Divine Art was abnormally active, and in the blink of an eye, it could complete a full cycle. It was not inferior to the cultivation in the dream.
He activated the Nameless Divine Art to absorb the Second Element Primordial Water, and felt the water spiritual energy in the Second Element Primordial Water being absorbed by his body. At the same time, waves of water spiritual energy gathered from the water vein at the bottom of the well, and merged into Shen Luo's body.
Chang 'an City was the hub of the Southern Viewing Department Continent's spiritual energy, and the water spiritual energy gathered there was considerable.
Seeing this, Shen Luo's lips curled into a smile.
According to the current cultivation situation, it would not take long for him to reach the peak of the fasting period. It seemed that he had made the right choice.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. The end of the year was approaching, and the weather was already cold.
Dawn had just broken, and the city was shrouded in cold fog. Above the winding river, there was also fog. Fortunately, the river had not frozen, and a fishing boat was fishing along the river.
There were four or five fishermen on the boat. Their skin was dark, and their hands and feet were rough. With one look, one could tell that they were people who had lived on the water for many years.
A burly man standing at the bow of the boat swayed his body, and was about to throw out the fishing net in his hands.
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound came from the bottom of the river, and there seemed to be a sudden explosion of thunder. The originally calm river surface suddenly appeared with numerous large and small turbulent whirlpools, and water foam splashed everywhere. The entire river surface seemed to be boiling.
The air on the river surface also swept up, and set off gusts of wind, blowing away all the fog.
The fishing boat was also caught in the whirlpool, and spun around. Fortunately, the people on the boat reacted quickly, and jumped into the cabin at the first moment, and were not thrown off.
However, the strange phenomenon in the river did not last for too long. After a few breaths, it returned to normal.
"Boss, what is going on? Is there a demon at the bottom of the river? " The burly fisherman who was about to throw out the net looked at the gradually calming river surface, and asked the boss with lingering fear.
The boss was an old man of about sixty years old. He held a pipe in his hand, and his face was weathered. At this moment, although his face was also shocked, he was much calmer than the others.
