Many of them were still immersed in standing, feeling their bodies being nourished by a powerful force and becoming stronger.
Some of them even stood for an entire afternoon or night, only stopping when they could not stand it anymore.
After standing for such a long time, not only did they not feel tired, but they were also a hundred times more energetic than before. This strange feeling convinced them and they also believed in Chu Li's theory. Therefore, most of them tried to comprehend the Crouching Bull Insight according to Chu Li's theory.
In the evening, Chu Li returned to the High Duke's Public House and picked up Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi from the Hundred-Thousand Hills' ice pool. They chatted and drank on Jade Guardian Island, talking about the situation outside.
After the Zheng Dynasty retreated, King Ping did not force them and retreated as well. The turbulent situation was forcefully quelled, which disappointed many people, including the Celestial Beings, so they hated Chu Li even more.
However, they did not take any action as they were shocked by Chu Li's ruthlessness and determination, so they did not know how to deal with it.
Fortunately, Chu Li disappeared without a trace after quelling the dispute between the two countries, as if he had completely disappeared from the people's sight.
This made people feel that he had retreated after achieving his goal.
Xiao Shi was dressed in a snow-white robe. She took a sip of fruit wine and smiled. "Chu Li, your ability to advance and retreat at will is very impressive. You should become an official."
Chu Li smiled. "I don't really want to hide, there's something more important."
"What is it?" Xiao Shi asked.
Xiao Qi frowned. "Actually, you should hide for a while. When one reaches the peak, one will fall. No one can escape."
Chu Li smiled. "Madam, don't worry. I haven't slacked off, I've been cultivating hard."
"Your energy is limited after all," Xiao Qi said.
She was worried about Chu Li's future, not his illustrious glory.
Chu Li nodded. "After this is done, I can go into Isolated Cultivation."
"What is it?" Xiao Shi was curious.
Chu Li told them about how he cultivated the Blood Dragon Tree and combined it with the Soaring Grass to create a master.
The two ladies could not help but be excited after listening to him.
If what Chu Li said was true, the High Duke's Public House's strength would increase explosively. They could even compete with the four major sects and suppress the Leng family, so they would not have to care about the Leng family anymore.
Xiao Shi said, "If that's the case, Crouching Bull Mountain is very important? … Actually, you can also look for Snow Lunar Pavilion. "
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "Snow Lunar Pavilion is not suitable. It's hard to go against their feelings, I can't bring myself to do it."
"That's true." Xiao Shi nodded. "Is everything going well at Crouching Bull Mountain?"
"There's a small problem," Chu Li said.
The Blood Dragon Fruit was about to ripen. He had already harvested the Soaring Grass and was refining the Soaring Elixir. He couldn't wait to cultivate the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. He also couldn't wait to get his hands on the Heavenly Star Jade Stamp.
Both were of utmost importance. He had a premonition that the Asuras would soon descend in large numbers, and that would truly be the time of chaos. His time was tight, and he needed to complete it as soon as possible.
Xiao Shi said, "Why don't we ask Lu Yurong to come over and give us some ideas?"
Xiao Qi glared at her.
Siao Shi pursed her lips and smiled, "Lu Yu Rong has the most cunning ideas. The two of you working together to scheme against others is invincible!"
Chu Li said, "She's also having a hard time over there. Forget it."
He already knew that the Nine Heavens Mystic Fairy Sect had also sent two celestial beings to Lu Yurong's side. They insisted on teaching her the continuation mantra of the Nine Heavens Mystic Fairy Power and wanted to take her as a disciple. Lu Yurong was annoyed but helpless.
"Looks like you're still in contact with Lu Yu Rong." Siao Shi's smile widened, and she glared at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled. "I met her by chance … Do you want to consume the Blood Dragon Fruit, Madam?"
"Is it still useful for me to consume it now?" Xiao Qi asked.
Chu Li nodded. "It's still useful. Even if it can't increase one's power, it can still strengthen one's body."
Xiao Qi asked, "What about Second Eldest Sister?"
Chu Li smiled. "It should be useful."
Siao Shi scoffed. "My cultivation level isn't weak anymore!"
Chu Li quickly nodded.
Xiao Qi said, "Second Eldest Sister, you started cultivating late. No matter how talented you are, there's still a process. Isn't it the same for Chu Li?"
"I dare not compare myself to Hero Xiao." Xiao Shi scoffed.
Xiao Qi chuckled.
Chu Li coughed. "I'll go back to Crouching Bull Mountain to take a look."
"Go, go. Don't worry here. No one will dare to harm us," Xiao Shi said.
Chu Li nodded.
His relationship with the Grandmaster seemed to have eased up a little. Under such circumstances, the Grandmaster would not take the initiative to attack them. They could stay in the High Duke's Public House without worry, and there was no need to return to the Hundred-Thousand Hills.
—
On the afternoon of the third day, after lunch, Chu Li appeared at the martial arts field again.
He stood on the high platform and looked down at the crowd. He asked calmly, "Do you have any new insights?"
Duan Tianya sighed. "I've learned a lot. According to what the Young Lord said, after comprehending the Crouching Bull Insight again, my cultivation has improved greatly!"
Everyone nodded.
Murong Chun said, "How did the Young Lord know this? I don't think the Crouching Bull Insight mentioned anything about it?"
Chu Li said, "I've read many notes from ancient times, and I've seen the records of Crouching Bull Mountain. It said that the founder of Crouching Bull Mountain's fist was as fast as lightning, and his fist was as light as the clouds. It was earth-shattering, and no one could stop it. He founded the Crouching Bull Mountain."
Everyone had a confused look on their faces.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "If you want to improve your comprehension, the key is to read books. Start with some miscellaneous books to increase your knowledge. Otherwise, if you just blindly cultivate, you'll inevitably fall behind. Even if you can improve by cultivating diligently, your progress will be slow."
"Did the Young Lord think of it based on these records?" Murong Chun asked.
Chu Li said, "These records reminded me that the Crouching Bull Insight might not be as I imagined it to be. It's not always strong and overbearing, and one's strength can defeat ten people. But if you think about it from a different perspective, you'll suddenly see the light, and everything can be understood."
He continued, "What I've said just now is the truest insight. If you want to have comprehension and cultivate your martial arts to the peak, it'll be difficult if you don't read enough books, unless you're born with talent."
Only then did everyone take him seriously, and they nodded slowly.
Chu Li continued, "As long as you master this, the rest is just branches and leaves. Think about it slowly, and you'll eventually find a solution. If you have any doubts, you can ask me in the future."
He glided away after he finished speaking.
Everyone was a little disappointed, and they wanted to ask a few more questions. They had many questions in the process of comprehension, and they wanted Chu Li to answer them.
When they wanted to look for Chu Li the next day, they were told that the Young Lord had already left the mountain with Elder Xia and went to the Surpassing State.
Everyone felt melancholy, and they felt anxious.
However, Qiao San calmly told everyone that the Young Lord purposely did this so that everyone could comprehend it on their own. There was only one part of the Crouching Bull Insight, but everyone had different insights, and the martial arts that they comprehended would be the most suitable for them.
Everyone immediately felt a deep sense of respect, and they went back to Isolated Cultivation in high spirits.
The entire Crouching Bull Mountain was full of vitality again. The disciples went in, and their strength increased again.
In the evening, the sun set in the west, and the towering mountain peak in front of Chu Li was red.
This mountain peak seemed to reach the sky, and the surrounding mountains gave Chu Li the illusion that he had entered Hundred-Thousand Hills.
Although these mountains were not as rich in spiritual energy as Hundred-Thousand Hills, and were not as heavy as Hundred-Thousand Hills, it was enough to make people feel small.
"The Surpassing State is here?" Chu Li pointed at the towering mountain peak.
Xia Liyan nodded. "It's on the mountain."
With the Omniscient Mirror, he saw that the towering mountain peak was covered in lush trees, and no signs of human habitation could be seen. However, there was a small valley halfway up the mountain, and there was a formation set up in the valley. It could be hidden from the eyes of others, but it could not be hidden from the Omniscient Mirror.
Chu Li nodded emotionally. "I didn't expect it to be so far away from Crouching Bull Mountain."
He estimated that Crouching Bull Mountain was thousands of miles away from here.
