Xu Changqing did not stop along the way. Once he descended the mountain, he summoned Shattered Moon, Falling Frost and flew toward Red Maple Valley.
On the way, recalling what Ji Mingxuan had just said, he could not help narrowing his eyes.
"At the Spirit Fields, Ji Mingxuan is only familiar with Rong Yan and me."
"Rong Yan doesn't lack spirit stones. He probably isn't interested in the Secret Realm."
"Perhaps he came to me because we know each other better and would find it easier to work together."
"It's just that at a juncture like this, it feels a little..."
In any case, I absolutely won't leave the Immortal Sect this year!
In the days that followed, everything returned to calm.
Aside from eating, refining pills, crafting artifacts, and drawing talismans, Xu Changqing spent all his time studying the Sea-Covering Seal.
Thanks to the effects brought by the Flood Dragon Transformation, along with the fact that he had already learned the Nine-Bend Tidebirth Art,
his progress with this spell advanced by leaps and bounds each day.
By the seventh day, it finally appeared on his attribute panel.
Sea-Covering Seal: Level One Effect 1: Draw water within three zhang of the user into the palm, condensing it into a water sphere one zhang in diameter Consume 20 years of lifespan to raise the Nine-Bend Tidebirth Art to Level Six?
"Yes."
A mere twenty years was but a drop in the bucket to Xu Changqing.
In a few days, once the spirit plants in the Portable Space were harvested, he would immediately gain several hundred years.
At once, that profoundly mysterious state appeared again, though this time it did not last long.
Since he had already learned the accompanying Nine-Bend Tidebirth Art, it was equivalent to having a foundation.
