Chapter 1368 Temporary Rest

"How about it? Do you agree with Zhou's suggestion?"

At the edge of the battlefield, Zhou Yiqiao looked at Ji Ruxue's friends and asked in a cold voice.

Those people looked at each other with complicated expressions.

The strength displayed by Zhou Yiqiao completely overturned their previous cognition and forced them to re-examine this seemingly gentle young man.

After a moment's silence, one of them forced a smile and bowed.

"Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. We naturally understand that it is not appropriate to disturb you at this time."

"Since Miss Ji has been defeated, we will abide by the rules and wait and see how the situation develops."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly, and the pressure subsided. Those people felt relieved and quickly stepped aside, secretly glancing at Ji Ruxue in the distance from time to time, their eyes full of worry.

At this time, Luo Lishang's eyes were still fixed on Ji Ruxue, and there was a hint of subtle complex emotions in his tone.

"Ji Ruxue, the entanglement between you and me will be completely understood today."

Ji Ruxue finally responded, raised her head with difficulty, and answered intermittently.

"Luo Lishang, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I have nothing to say."

"If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."

The air completely froze at this moment. Luo Lishang's cold eyes stared directly at Ji Ruxue's broken face, and no emotion could be seen in his eyes.

After a while, Luo Lishang put away the silk magic weapon, turned around and walked towards Zhou Yiqiao.

"After today, don't bother me again. Let's end the grudge between us now."

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao released the pressure he had been using to suppress the people around him. He ignored the people who were running towards Ji Ruxue in panic, and just smiled faintly and said to Luo Lishang.

"Miss Luo is extremely capable. I admire her."

Luo Lishang forced a smile on his face and said modestly.

"Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. After all, my understanding of swordsmanship is not as good as Mr. Zhou's. If the move I made at the beginning had Mr. Zhou's sixth-level swordsmanship will, I would not be so embarrassed."

After hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao finally reacted and took two steps at a time to come to Luo Lishang's side.

"excuse me."

He whispered, then circulated his spiritual power and reached out to hold Luo Lishang's wrist.

Luo Lishang was slightly stunned, but then relieved, and a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Yiqiao closed his eyes and concentrated, spiritual power flowing through his fingertips, slowly exploring along Luo Lishang's meridians.

After a moment, his brows relaxed slightly, he withdrew his hand, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Miss Luo's injury is not serious, it's just that her spiritual power has been depleted too much. This is the Wanfa Huiling Pill that Zhou made by himself. It is quite helpful in restoring spiritual power. Please accept it."

As he spoke, Zhou Yiqiao took out an exquisite jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Lishang.

Luo Lishang took the jade bottle, sniffed it, and then looked at Zhou Yiqiao in surprise.

"I didn't expect that Master Zhou's talent in alchemy is stronger than his sword practice. This Wanfa Huiling Pill has already produced a fragrance. I'm afraid that with further improvement, it will generate pill patterns, which will increase the efficacy of the medicine exponentially."

Luo Lishang's words were filled with sincere admiration. She gently unscrewed the jade bottle, and saw a pill lying inside that was as round as jade and emitting a faint green light. There was a set of milky white lines on it, which were obviously about to take shape.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly and didn't say much.

He set his gaze on Ji Ruxue who was surrounded by the crowd in the distance. Seeing that Ji Ruxue had been helped to stand up by her friends, he retracted his gaze and said with a smile.

"Now that it's over, shall we set off immediately and return to the Sword Sect?"

Luo Lishang swallowed the Wanfa Huiling Pill and nodded.

"I've been away for only half a month, and I've encountered so many things. It's better to return to the Sword Sect to practice and practice in peace."

The two reached an agreement and each took out their magic weapons. They ignored Ji Ruxue and the others and quickly galloped away in the direction of the Tijian Sect, disappearing from their sight.

After the two figures were completely hidden in the clouds, a woman next to Ji Ruxue sighed with a complicated expression and said softly.

"Ruxue, let's...go back too."

Ji Ruxue grinned, and blood dripped from the corners of her mouth because of the laughing movement, making her look very embarrassed.

But Ji Ruxue's friends could clearly see that Ji Ruxue was more relaxed and relieved at this moment than at any time before.

"After all, I am not as skilled as him. I can't lie to myself anymore. Luo Lishang only won by luck."

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Ji Ruxue stubbornly took out the flying magic weapon, ready to leave this place on her own.

"After I go back this time, I will ask my master to enter the ancient beast world. I will have to say goodbye to you for a while."

"After I come out of seclusion, I will not only crush Luo Lishang, but also the man beside her!"

After saying that, without waiting for her friends behind her to respond, she stomped on the magic weapon under her feet, and her figure turned into a stream of light, cutting through the sky, and galloping in the opposite direction of the Sword Sect.

Ji Ruxue's friends looked at each other, their eyes full of worry.

But they knew Ji Ruxue's character very well, and once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. So they all took out their own magical weapons, followed closely behind, keeping a distance, and left with Ji Ruxue.

......

On the other side, Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang had landed in Yinxianfang City after flying for half a day.

The two of them registered in the Hidden Immortal Market with ease, and returned safely to the Tijian Sect through the nearby teleportation formation.

"In that case, I will return to Lingyun Peak to rest first. After I am fully prepared, I will come to find Her Royal Highness the Princess to practice swordsmanship together."

In the Tijian Sect, Zhou Yiqiao bowed respectfully towards Luo Lishang.

On their way back to the Tijian Sect, the two had agreed to meet up with Li Mubai after a rest to discuss the true meaning of the sword.

Luo Lishang nodded slightly, and his attitude towards Zhou Yiqiao had changed from the initial polite distance to a barely noticeable closeness.

"Master Zhou, you can go home without any worries. I will also need to spend some time to regulate my Qi to avoid any future troubles."

The two nodded, then turned around and left in different directions.

Zhou Yiqiao returned to Lingyun Peak and immediately summoned his three subordinates: Qijian, Tianlei and Xueran.

"I'm going to stay in seclusion for a while to deal with an important matter. During this time, I need you to put down everything you are doing and make sure that my attic will not be peeped into by anyone."

Although everyone in the Tijian Sect was extremely friendly to his group, Zhou Yiqiao did not dare to be careless after all as the Moonstone Space concerned his life and property.

Upon hearing this, the Seven Swords, Tianlei and Xueran all looked stern and responded in unison.

"As you command, Master!"

Zhou Yiqiao nodded with satisfaction, set up countless formations and prohibitions inside and outside the room, and escaped into the Moonstone Space with the mysterious crystal stone obtained from the Jiange auction.

Perhaps it was because the Moonstone Space became stronger and stronger as Zhou Yiqiao's cultivation level increased. Even though Zhou Yiqiao had not taken any action towards the mysterious crystal in these days, the Changsheng Gate in the Moonstone Space had already gradually peeled off the Moonstone fragments from the mysterious crystal.

The reason why he was so anxious at this moment was because he felt that the moonstone fragments were showing signs of completely peeling off.

As you step into the Moonstone space, an extremely rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth rushes towards you.

After advancing to the middle stage of Refining Void, the spiritual field in the Moonstone Space has grown to an extremely terrifying level.

Nowadays, the heavenly grass below the fourth level can grow to maturity quickly as long as it is sown, and the growth rate of the spiritual grass above the fourth level has also increased by leaps and bounds.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the current output of the Moonstone Space, Zhou Yiqiao alone is enough to rival the elixir supply of a fusion sect.

After Zhou Yiqiao appeared, a milky white light appeared on the Changsheng Gate. The next moment, the mysterious crystal broke away from Zhou Yiqiao's palm and floated in the air.

At this time, the light on its surface had dimmed a lot, and countless tiny cracks appeared on the originally hard crystal surface, as if it would completely collapse at any time.

Zhou Yiqiao would naturally not sit still and wait for death. He was already familiar with the absorption of moonstone fragments, and with a thought, the milky white light on the Changsheng Gate became brighter and turned into an invisible big hand, gently grasping the mysterious crystal stone that was about to collapse.

As the power of the Changsheng Gate slowly seeped in, the cracks on the surface of the crystal began to expand rapidly, and finally with a "click", it completely shattered into countless tiny pieces.

Among the many fragments, a moonstone fragment that also emitted a milky white light slowly floated out.

This fragment is completely different from other fragments that have lost their spiritual power, emitting a gentle and pure energy fluctuation.

Zhou Yiqiao did not hesitate at all. He thought again and the light on the Changsheng Gate turned into a beam of light, which wrapped the moonstone fragment and slowly guided it towards the door.

As the moonstone fragments slowly approached, the door of the Gate of Eternal Life seemed to be activated, and the ancient runes on it began to emit a faint light, echoing the moonstone fragments in the distance.

The moment the fragment gently touched the door, a warm and powerful force surged out from the Changsheng Gate and gently swallowed up the moonstone fragment.

Zhou Yiqiao only felt the spiritual energy surging around him, and the entire Moonstone space was nourished in some way at this moment.

The entire moonstone space spread outward at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the endless void above, another gleaming star came near the moonstone space and slowly rotated around it, adding a bit of mystery to the space.

The numerous spiritual herbs planted on the black spiritual soil are now in full bloom. The fragrance emitted by the various spiritual herbs is intertwined together, forming a refreshing fragrance.

Zhou Yiqiao stood on the spiritual soil, feeling the changes in the moonstone space, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

Every time he collected a piece of moonstone, it meant that his livelihood had increased a little bit.

This is not only an improvement in strength, but also an unlimited expectation for the future.

Quickly suppressing his emotions, Zhou Yiqiao immediately set out to collect the spiritual herbs that had matured thanks to the nourishment of the moonstone fragments.

The pits and valleys were filled with spiritual herbs. Even though the Moonstone space was completely controlled by Zhou Yiqiao, it still took several hours to complete the harvesting and sowing of all the spiritual plants.
