Chapter 184 But this slight reluctance, actually... I'm afraid, is only in his heart. As a Taoist who cultivates immortality, he has been able to keep his mind upright, but it is difficult to completely ignore the bad nature that people are born with. He was reluctant to leave, perhaps because he had taken too many advantages and gained too much from the help of the sisters, and he developed a dependent mentality, so he was reluctant to separate. But perhaps, he also had a subconscious thought in his heart that as long as he followed the sisters, he would be able to take advantage. Once they separated, although he would gain a lot, he could only find a place to hide and protect the large number of treasures he had obtained until the secret realm was closed and he could get out safely. This kind of reluctance is greed. Liu Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart. What is cultivation? Is this kind of character worthy of cultivation? But if these innate bad character can be completely abandoned in the future, will it be the time for cultivation to be successful? That sentence made him fall into a state of enlightenment that he had to examine his heart alone. No one knew the answer, not even Liu Zhen himself. Among the three people sitting together, except Liu Zhen, whose body was gradually surrounded by spiritual mist, Zhou Li and Zhou Ling's mouth twitched almost at the same time. what? This kind of environment, this kind of timing? An epiphany?
It's hard to connect them together no matter how you think about it! "What did I say?" Zhou Ling looked confused and pointed at himself. "You asked him if he had an idea about the separation." Zhou Li was used to translating hidden meanings more directly. He reached out and poked at the spiritual energy that was emanating from Liu Zhen and was so thick that it turned into mist, while answering his daughter's words. Zhou Ling was speechless. He looked at the flocks of birds startled by the unusual movement and felt as if he was born to be hardworking. Hey…… "Mom, you sit next to him and meditate. Don't waste this spiritual energy that has gathered here. I'll set up a concealing formation and barrier around him." "Yeah!" Zhou Li nodded without any nonsense, changed his sitting position to cross-legged, pinched his hands, closed his eyes, and entered the state almost in seconds. It was not that she didn't want her daughter to come first, to have such a good thing as to practice beside someone who had attained enlightenment. It was just that she knew nothing about setting up formations, so her daughter would have to do it anyway. So she would practice first, and when her daughter came back after setting up the formation, she would go and guard nearby, and let her daughter come over to practice. The pines are verdant, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The position of the sunlight in the sky is close to sunset, and the light it creates can hardly penetrate these layers of luxuriant branches and reach the ground. When Zhou Ling sets up the formation, he likes to blend it into nature so that it won't appear abrupt. Even if someone is looking for it, all the positions of the formation are almost integrated with the nearby environment, and it is difficult to find any trace. Ancient pine trees towering into the clouds formed the foundation of Zhou Ling's formation. They were formed naturally, and with slight changes and the addition of some formation patterns, the formation was completed in a short time. Coincidentally, almost at the moment when this hidden formation was formed, a crane mount flew rapidly from the southwest sky. Zhou Ling stood inside the concealment formation and subconsciously held his breath. As soon as the crane mount landed, he, who was originally in the form of a spirit beast, unexpectedly changed into human form the moment he landed. He stood side by side with the man who got off his back, looking around with confusion on his face. "Are you sure the way to sense it is here?" The man who had come here riding on the back of the crane had a solemn expression, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone. "It is confirmed that this is the place. Although I cannot sense it now, there is still the spiritual energy unique to enlightenment in the air here. Even if he has moved to another place, he must have stayed here before." The spirit beast in the form of a crane answered, and its eyes and consciousness continued to search around while answering. But the final result was the same, only a little breath remained in the air, and the real source had long disappeared. "You idiot! What are you still standing there for? Keep chasing!" The man was very annoyed and kicked the transformed spirit beast in the buttocks. Perhaps because he was angry, although he did not use too much force, he still kicked the transformed spirit beast and made it stagger. Not only did it almost fall to the ground, but there was also a huge mud footprint left on its clothes behind, at the position of its buttocks, which was very funny.
Although the spirit beast is just a spirit beast, its cultivation has reached the level where it can transform into a human form, and its mind is almost the same as that of a human cultivator. In their eyes, although there are no outsiders present, being kicked in the butt like this still makes his face slightly red. Facing the angry glare from its master, the transformed spirit beast quickly stood firm, a little hesitant as to how to start the next words. "Are you deaf? I asked you to chase him!" "Master... I can't sense the exact location of that aura right now." "Useless! If I say you are useless, then you really are useless? Where's your nose? Where's the sensitivity of your spirit beast? Stop talking nonsense and find it for me!" The attitude of the human cultivator was bad to a certain extent, but the transformed spirit beast beside him seemed to have long been accustomed to his insults and beatings. It lowered its head, did not respond, and did not refute, just waiting for its master's next anger. Zhou Ling was currently standing only a few meters away from the master and servant. In fact, if someone is powerful and has some understanding of battle formations, he should have noticed that there have been subtle changes in the fluctuations of nearby spiritual energy. Although it is difficult to detect, in the world of cultivating immortals, if you want to survive safely, as long as you find any slightest change in the environment around you, you should understand that the situation may be different and start to be alert to your surroundings. Because no matter how precisely the formation is laid out, there are still some things that cannot be controlled, such as the distribution and subtle flow of spiritual energy that naturally occurs in the air. Once there is a barrier of the formation, even if the surface of the formation is adjusted to be smoother, it will still affect the distribution of the surrounding spiritual energy when it is necessary. These are some of the experiences of survival outside that Master has talked about, and which Zhou Ling has also explored through his own experience. But at this moment, facing the man and the beast outside the formation, she could only feel grateful. I was thankful that not everyone had a master to teach them these subtle things that could decide life and death. I was also thankful that I was quick enough to complete the formation before they arrived. Everything that should be covered was hidden. otherwise…… His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a light flying in the distance. Before Zhou Ling could even start to wonder, two, three, four... Countless rays of light and various flying magical instruments came from far away and approached continuously. Each of their faces was filled with anxiety. It wasn't Zhou Lingzhu and the others who were worried. It was really because of their eagerness to search that it was as if they were in a hurry to reincarnate, fearing that if they were too late and couldn't get in line, they would become wandering ghosts. One of them even activated a small sky-blue porcelain bottle on the way here. As soon as he landed, he looked around and asked those who arrived earlier than him. "Where is the spiritual energy of enlightenment? Where is it?" (End of this chapter)
