At the time, Zhou Xu was practicing Meditation inside the carriage.
After all, it would still be nearly half a month before they officially reached the border of the Holy Roland Empire. A total journey of two months was already quite long, and he could hardly spend the entire trip leaving the Truth Power within him completely unused. That would be a bit of a waste of time.
At the same time, one must not forget that there was Natural Energy along the way.
The Natural Energy within his territory was being preserved partly out of consideration for the ecological environment of their own lands, and partly as an energy reserve for emergencies.
One naturally had to treasure what belonged to oneself a little more, but Zhou Xu had far fewer reservations about the Natural Energy outside.
He could first study the Truth Words, expend twenty to thirty percent of his own power, and then quickly replenish it through absorbing Natural Energy.
More importantly, their group was constantly on the move. After absorbing energy from one place, they would soon move on to the next. They were not staying in one area and relentlessly stripping it bare, so all things considered, it was not too excessive.
If one really wanted to put it that way, this would have been a nearly perfect model if he simply had not lacked the free time to run around the world every day.
Having just completed a round of meditation, Zhou Xu was preparing to go out and chat with Qiansui for a while when Li Ce rode over.
"Your subordinate pays his respects to His Majesty!"
"Rise. Come in."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu, who had not yet left the carriage, waved a hand, indicating that Li Ce should come in and speak.
