128: No trace
In the room, after Lin Xin left, to be safe, Zhou Luo still took out a spiritual talisman and stuck it on the window to prevent being eavesdropped on.
"You are really cautious."
Wang Yuwei rested her right hand on the table, propping up her chin, her beautiful eyes flickering as she looked at him.
From the first time she met him, she could see his caution.
Including the subsequent interactions.
They made her feel that the man in front of her was someone who would not act without absolute certainty and sufficient benefit.
"If I'm not careful, I won't even know how I died."
Zhou Luo sat across from her, his expression serious.
For him, a mere Qi Training cultivator, the world of the strong preying on the weak was a Monster that devoured people whole.
To survive, he had to lie low.
Anyway, he had enough lifespan to support him; if he couldn't defeat others, could he not outlast them?
Wang Yuwei smiled faintly, then took out a Jade Slip and pushed it towards him.
"This time, I'll exchange this body technique," she said softly.
"What rank?" Zhou Luo asked, looking at the Jade Slip.
"Qi Training Upper Grade," Wang Yuwei answered truthfully.
Zhou Luo's eyes lit up. If it was an Upper Grade Cultivation Methods, it would be acceptable.
He picked up the Jade Slip and opened it.
Four large characters were imprinted on it.
"Wind Walk Without Trace"
Subsequently, the Jade Slip glowed brightly, and a small figure appeared, beginning to demonstrate the entire Cultivation Methods.
Zhou Luo glanced at it, closed it, and then took out a bottle of Azure Water Pill from his Pregnant.
"There are thirty pills inside, enough to last until our next meeting," Zhou Luo said.
Wang Yuwei was pleasantly surprised, quickly took it, put it into her storage bag, then raised her beautiful eyes and asked, "Next Spirit Pill Gathering?"
"More or less," Zhou Luo nodded.
After gaining a year's worth of cultivation for free, he estimated that he would be able to break through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer in about another year.
Hearing this, Wang Yuwei showed some surprise.
Since the other party planned to go out, they would naturally need to reach the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.
But she remembered that he seemed to be only in the Qi Training Fourth Layer before leaving the Immortal Sect.
His cultivation speed is this fast?
Didn't Lin Xin say he had a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root?
"Okay, earlier is better, but what if the dragon blood grass is found by someone else?" Wang Yuwei asked.
"If it's found, so be it. There are always other clues," Zhou Luo said indifferently.
These words made Wang Yuwei's eyes light up. She stared at the other party, her lips curving up, "You really found a lot of clues on the fourth floor. Do you want to share them?"
Zhou Luo raised his eyebrows slightly and retorted, "What will you exchange for it?"
Wang Yuwei's smile froze, feeling very awkward.
"Wouldn't it be more certain with more people?" she said somewhat guiltily.
"If I need your help, I will say so. Let Third Miss come in."
Zhou Luo didn't continue the topic.
He did indeed find many clues on the fourth floor. Some clues he couldn't verify in a short time and could only discuss later.
After a while, Lin Xin walked into the room, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two.
"Third Miss, we've decided to depart in a year and won't participate in the next Spirit Pill Gathering," Zhou Luo said seriously.
"Whatever you want."
More than that, Lin Xin was more concerned about what secret the two of them had.
However, since Wang Yuwei wasn't saying anything, Zhou Luo certainly wouldn't reveal anything.
Right now, he still planned to go back and study that Qi Training Upper Grade Cultivation Methods.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first."
Zhou Luo didn't stay long. After getting what he wanted, he left.
After all, this was Third Miss's boudoir, and staying too long would easily arouse suspicion from others.
As soon as he left, Lin Xin couldn't help but ask, "What were you two talking about just now?"
Wang Yuwei smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I'll explain it to you slowly."
...
Outside the manor, that figure waited quietly.
Finally, he waited until Zhou Luo reappeared, watching him return the way he came, and that figure did not continue to follow.
Still waiting.
Finally, when he saw the Wang Family people come out of the manor, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Zhou Luo, what exactly do you want to do?"
Under the shadow, Lin Xuanfeng muttered to himself.
Ever since Zhou Luo started purchasing Body Refining Materials, he had sent people to keep an eye on him.
So when Zhou Luo arrived at the Core Area, he received the news immediately and appeared here.
Unfortunately, this was the residence of the Tenth Elder, protected by an Array Formation, so he couldn't sneak in.
However, he finally found a hint of something.
At this critical juncture, Zhou Luo meeting with the Wang Family people must hide some secrets behind it.
Lin Xuanfeng was temporarily unclear what they were planning to do, but this aroused his great interest.
Watching Wang Yuwei leave, he quietly followed.
On the other side, upon returning to Zhou Garden, Zhou Luo immediately took out that body technique.
This was a wind-attribute Cultivation Methods.
Opening the Jade Slip, the small figure appeared again and began to practice.
Zhou Luo watched intently, wanting to first familiarize himself with the Cultivation Methods incantations.
As a Qi Training Upper Grade Cultivation Methods, it would take considerable Time to fully master.
After all, it wasn't like the lottery rewards that could be easily mastered; it could only be achieved through diligent practice.
This was unavoidable.
You couldn't expect every lottery draw to go as you wished and get what you wanted.
Some things, since they could be obtained directly, there was no need to waste lottery opportunities.
One should know that obtaining each lottery opportunity was not easy.
A few days later, the Spirit Pill Gathering was held as scheduled.
People from the Five Great Evergreen Families and countless Loose Cultivators began to compete for the spots to go to the Immortal Sect.
Surprisingly, the Lu Family also appeared here, completely unafraid of their arch-rival, the Lin Family, taking action against them.
This was mainly because of the Immortal Sect.
Because the Spirit Pill Gathering was arranged by the Immortal Sect, if the Lin Family were to attack the Lu Family at this time, they would face severe punishment from the Immortal Sect.
Therefore, the Lin Family not only couldn't attack the Lu Family but also needed to ensure their safety.
The person the Lin Family sent to participate in this Spirit Pill Gathering was Lin Nian, who was previously by Lin Zhishou's side.
Before Zhou Luo appeared, Lin Nian had always been cultivated by Lin Zhishou as a Disciple by his side.
It was just a pity that Lin Zhishou later took a liking to Zhou Luo, who had better talent.
As for Lin Nian, he still had talent. Through years of silent effort, he still became a Mid-Grade Alchemist.
This year's Spirit Pill Gathering, being the second year, the competition was not as intense, but Lin Nian still didn't make it into the top five.
And what was most surprising was.
This time, the top five were not all taken by people from the Immortal Family; an eighteen-year-old young Alchemist actually appeared on the list.
The spots to enter the Immortal Sect for study had not gone to anyone outside the Immortal Family for decades.
The appearance of this young Alchemist immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The Five Great Evergreen Families all extended olive branches, wanting to recruit him into their Zhou Family.
Ultimately, the young Alchemist chose to join the Lin Family.
This led the other four Great Evergreen Families to exclaim that it was unacceptable.
Because the Lin Family already had a Pill Refining prodigy like Zhou Luo, and now they had another guy who grew wildly like this.
In terms of Pill Refining alone, the Lin Family would probably overwhelm the other four families in the future.
This made the four Great Evergreen Families feel a strong sense of crisis.
