49: Disciple of the Evil Sect

A day of teaching finally ended, and Zhou Luo returned to Zhou Garden, feeling utterly drained.

There was nothing he could do; Lin Zhishou, in order to stabilize his Realm, wanted to impart all the knowledge of First-Order Pills to him, and even wanted him to continuously try.

But he already knew all this knowledge, yet he had to pretend to be eager to learn, and even during Pill Refining, he had to act in various ways to make himself seem more like a beginner.

This was truly a bit of torture for him.

"Husband, you must be tired. The water is ready," Lin Feiying said, bringing clean clothes.

"Are all those heavenly materials and earthly treasures prepared?" Zhou Luo asked.

"Yes, they've all been put in," Lin Feiying nodded.

But just thinking about the things she had seen, her expression was a little strange.

After all, it was her first time hearing of someone using things like poisonous scorpions and poisonous snakes to bathe.

However, she was sensible enough not to ask too many questions.

Arriving at the room, Zhou Luo looked at the dark medicinal liquid, removed his clothes, and without hesitation, endured the intense heat, slowly entering the bronze cauldron.

As soon as he touched the medicinal liquid, he could clearly feel a burning pain on his body.

However, compared to before, his endurance was much stronger.

He began to circulate the incantations of the Giant Bear Body Refining Art.

As the technique circulated, a red light appeared on his body, and he could even faintly hear the sound of a giant bear roaring.

At the same time, within his body, in the Qi Sea and Dantian, spiritual energy, guided by the technique, began to flow throughout his entire body.

A vast and heavy power formed within his body, while the medicinal liquid in the bronze cauldron continuously boiled, and intense pain surged from all directions of his body.

As the medicinal effect took hold, Zhou Luo could clearly feel his body being torn apart.

The red light grew stronger, and the pain also became more intense.

Zhou Luo bit his lip tightly, his face pale, his mind shaken.

Just then, the Lingxi Jade around his neck emitted a soft spiritual light. The spiritual light passed through his skin, surging into his mind, comforting his originally scattered thoughts and gradually easing them.

Time continuously passed, and Zhou Luo slowly absorbed the energy from the medicinal liquid into his body, using it to continuously shape his Physical Body.

It must be said that this Body Refining truly requires great perseverance to succeed.

No wonder the vast majority of people choose to walk the path of Qi Training.

The temperature of the medicinal liquid in the bronze cauldron gradually cooled, and Zhou Luo, who originally had fair skin, was now soaked like a red-skinned monkey.

However, when he continued to guide the technique, a faint radiance appeared on his reddish skin. Points of light flickered, causing his skin to return to normal again.

"Two more times should be enough."

Zhou Luo couldn't help but clench his hands, and the crisp sound of bones colliding came from within his body.

He stood up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.

Besides daily Body Refining and Pill Refining, he didn't forget to continue his Cultivation.

After all, Realm is the most important thing.

Seeing their Husband work so hard, all the wives and concubines were deeply moved.

Because they knew that all of Zhou Luo's efforts were so that they could live better lives.

At night, Zhou Luo still lay in Bai Zhiyan's room.

Bai Zhiyan was not lying flat; she was lying on her side, her head resting on her forearm, quietly looking at the man beside her, and suddenly said, "The sisters all hope you can have less pressure."

This was what the wives and concubines had asked her to say.

Because they felt that Zhou Luo was working so hard due to great pressure, and they didn't have such high aspirations, so they hoped Bai Zhiyan could persuade him.

Zhou Luo looked at the ceiling and murmured to himself, "Actually, it's alright, after all, I've wasted a lot of Time."

He was talking about the matter of Pill Refining.

Bai Zhiyan looked at that handsome and charming face, her heart slightly moved, and she blurted out, "Marrying you must be very happy."

At this moment, Zhou Luo suddenly turned sideways.

Their eyes met.

"Then do you really want to marry me?" Zhou Luo asked with a sincere expression.

"Ah?"

Bai Zhiyan exclaimed, her small face instantly turning red. She quickly turned around, her back to Zhou Luo, and couldn't help but curl up.

In the darkness, it was silent, but Bai Zhiyan could hear her heart pounding violently.

Fortunately, Zhou Luo had no other movements.

The day's experiences had made him too tired, so he fell into a deep sleep.

After a long Time, Bai Zhiyan turned around again and found that Zhou Luo was already asleep.

She carefully observed him, her gaze falling on his delicate face, pursing her lips, her expression complex.

If she really married him, it seemed like a good choice.

Bai Zhiyan thought this in her heart.

But then she thought, does she really like him?

Or is this just dependence?

She couldn't be sure.

Precisely because of this, she also didn't understand her own thoughts.

So, thinking and thinking, she closed her eyes.

The next day, when Bai Zhiyan woke up, Zhou Luo had already left.

She walked out of the room, and Lin Feiying had already made breakfast, calling her over to eat.

In the dining room, Zhou Luo was not there; he must have already gone to Shouchun Hall.

"Little mother, play with me."

While eating breakfast, Xiao Chang'an suddenly ran in, pulling on Bai Zhiyan's pants, raising his small head and saying seriously.

Bai Zhiyan smiled faintly and hugged him into her arms: "Okay, have you eaten breakfast?"

"Yes, Father fed me," Xiao Chang'an said proudly.

After breakfast, Bai Zhiyan carried Xiao Chang'an to the rockery in the manor.

This place had been transformed into a small playground by Zhou Luo, with everything from wooden horses, swings, trampolines, and so on.

The other children were also here.

Seeing Bai Zhiyan appear, the group of little ones immediately gathered around, clamoring for her to take them to play.

"Alright, alright, one by one. I'll take you to play a new game today," Bai Zhiyan said with a light smile.

"Yay, yay!" the little ones shouted happily.

Just as Bai Zhiyan and Xiao Chang'an were having fun, an uninvited guest appeared outside Zhou Garden.

It was the Middle-aged man who had appeared in Lin Daoming's manor that day.

His name was Zhao Yuan, and he was the Junior Brother of the Mysterious Person who was previously in a courtyard somewhere in Maple Leaf City.

The two belonged to a certain evil sect, and it was they, the Senior and Junior Brothers, who had planned the kidnapping of Bai Zhiyan.

As for why they wanted to bring her to Maple Leaf City, it was naturally because their Revered Master happened to be in the city.

However, due to some matters, their Revered Master had temporarily left Maple Leaf City.

So the two brothers planned to capture Bai Zhiyan before their Revered Master appeared.

Otherwise, given their Revered Master's temper, they, the Senior and Junior Brothers, would probably be in trouble then.

Zhao Yuan looked at the large courtyard with a sinister expression.

He knew that after today, he could no longer stay in Maple Leaf City.

Otherwise, if the Lin Family found any clues and discovered that he was from an evil sect, he wouldn't be able to escape then.

Unknowingly, he had already arrived at the main entrance, and with a flash, he directly entered the interior of Zhou Garden.

There were no Revered Masters in Zhou Garden, so no one detected his presence.

After all, Zhou Luo would never have imagined that he could encounter danger within the Zhou Family itself.

Zhao Yuan quickly went deeper inside.

He had already inquired clearly about the situation in Zhou Garden these past few days, and as long as he was cautious enough, he should be able to take the other party away without anyone knowing.

Soon, Zhao Yuan heard the noise of the children.

He quietly approached and immediately saw Bai Zhiyan playing with the children.
