Chapter 500: Get rid of inner demons

Feeling the unfamiliar spiritual consciousness coming from the outside world, the moonstone that was originally floating quietly in the Lingxu Cave suddenly became restless.

It rotated crazily, emitting a faint light, trying to resist the invasion from the outside world.

Zhou Yiqiao's face was expressionless. He had already expected that there would be conflict in the Moonstone Space, so he had already taken precautions.

He was seen forming a seal with one hand, and all kinds of gold and stones arranged in the formation suddenly burst out with dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, a huge and pure spiritual power swarmed out from the formation and poured into Shikai's Lingxu Cave in an instant.

The spiritual energy was constantly changing in the Lingxu Cave, condensing into ropes and wrapping around the moonstone space, trapping it firmly in place, unable to move.

At the same time, Zhou Yiqiao strengthened the output of his spiritual thoughts, wrapped the moonstone space, and began to use his soul to oppress the moonstone space, trying to make the other party take the initiative to recognize the master.

Although Shi Kai was in great pain during this process, there was no sign of collapse due to the power of the large amount of spiritual herbs he had swallowed previously and Zhou Yiqiao's intentional protection.

Time flies, one day, two days, one month, two months... In the blink of an eye, half a year passes quietly.

In the past six months, there has been a fierce tug of war between Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual thoughts and the Moon Stone Space.

Both sides continued to consume, and finally had the result today.

After all, the Moonstone Space relies on the spiritual thoughts of a monk in the middle stage of Qi Refining who has not been able to rest. How can he be the opponent of Zhou Yiqiao, a foundation-building monk.

After a battle, and with Zhou Yiqiao's perseverance, Moonstone Space finally adapted to Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual thoughts and chose to surrender.

This time, when Zhou Yiqiao once again pulled the Moon Stone Space away from Shi Kai's Lingxu Point, the whole process became extremely smooth.

With a muffled sound of "bang", the space in Shikai Lingxu Cave suddenly shattered.

A thumb-sized, translucent crystal flew out of Shi Kai's body, fell into Zhou Yiqiao's hand, and slowly rotated in his palm.

After successfully taking out the moon stone space, Shi Kai himself lost his value.

Zhou Yiqiao pulled back, and the last force that supported Shi Kai's vitality also left. He collapsed on the ground, and after a few breaths, he completely lost his vitality.

Zhou Yiqiao turned a deaf ear to Shi Kai's death. At this time, he was concentrating on the crystal in his hand.

As the crystal rotates faster, the surrounding heaven and earth energy also fluctuates, rushing towards the crystal.

In the blink of an eye, all the spiritual energy in the valley was gathered into the palm of Zhou Yiqiao's hand.

Suddenly, Zhou Yiqiao felt blessed, holding up the growing crystal and placing it in front of his Lingxu point.

"Buzz!"

The crystal stone trembled, turned into a flash of white light, and quickly got into the Lingxu Cave and disappeared.

With the integration of crystals, the scene in Lingxu Cave suddenly changed.

In the Lingxu Cave, a piece of silver light flickered, dazzling, as magnificent as a galaxy.

And in this silver glow, the light yellow half-moon-shaped moonstone space is quietly suspended in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yiqiao's mouth showed a hint of joy.

After much effort, he finally retrieved the moon stone space.

"The next step is to integrate it with me. By then, the illusion in front of you should be completely broken."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yiqiao made a secret with both hands, poured his spiritual consciousness into the Lingxu acupoint, and once again wrapped the moonstone space in the Lingxu acupoint, slowly integrating it with himself.

The moonstone space rotates slowly, and wrapped by Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual consciousness, its color gradually becomes lighter, and finally completely merges with Zhou Yiqiao's.

When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Yiqiao found that he had returned to Shenjian Tower.

Feeling the familiar atmosphere in Lingxu Point and his restored cultivation, Zhou Yiqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Somehow, regaining the moonstone space in the illusion this time actually gave him a sense of intimacy with the moonstone space that blood is thicker than water.

"The inner demon that broke through the Nascent Soul realm turned out to be just like this. I thought..."

Zhou Yiqiao murmured in his mouth, then immediately dismissed the thoughts in his mind and walked out of Shenjian Tower.

After receiving the order to return to Shenjian Tower, Chu Tianxing had been waiting outside Shenjian Tower. When he saw Zhou Yiqiao's appearance, he quickly stepped forward and came to Zhou Yiqiao's side.

"How long have I been in retreat this time?"

Zhou Yiqiao asked.

"It has been exactly seven months since you informed me to return to the Sword Washing Pond."

Chu Tianxing answered truthfully.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded and then continued to ask.

"Has the manager of the purple jade auction house named Liu Yun been here?"

After hearing this, Chu Tianxing took off a storage bag from his waist and handed it into Zhou Yiqiao's hands.

"He came here almost three months after you retreated."

"It's just that he just handed this storage bag into my hands and didn't leave any words."

"oh, I understand now."

Zhou Yiqiao took the storage bag and became increasingly satisfied with Liu Yun.

He deliberately did not tell Liu Yun about the second monk he could trust besides himself, in order to test Liu Yun's credibility.

After all, since he has decided to build himself a Nascent Soul Guard that specializes in plundering low-level souls, he must have a trustworthy subordinate to handle the stolen goods for him.

Although these stolen goods were not valuable, he had to choose a completely trustworthy partner as it related to whether he would be exposed.

Liu Yun kept silent when he presented him with spiritual objects this time. At least for now, he was a qualified candidate.

Of course, things about the Nascent Soul Guard are only beginning to take shape now, and everything is still too early.

Zhou Yiqiao only remembered Liu Yun in his heart, then turned around and returned to Shenjian Tower.

Now that everything is ready, Zhou Yiqiao has officially decided not to leave in seclusion for the next time. He will never step out of Shenjian Tower again before going to Demon Bay to advance to Nascent Soul.

Zhou Yiqiao walked into the alchemy room and looked at the Liyang Divine Cauldron placed in the center of the alchemy room, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"After going around and around, I can finally settle down and try to refine the Nascent Soul Pill."

He raised his right hand lightly and activated all the restrictions in Shenjian Tower, completely isolating himself from the world.

In the days that followed, Zhou Yiqiao's daily practice became extremely regular.

He would spend four to five hours every day refining the Nascent Soul Pill, and most of the remaining time was used to comprehend the Dongji Longevity Materia Medica and the Chang Geng Nine Refining Soul-Locking Sword Techniques.

During this retreat, Zhou Yiqiao stayed in Shenjian Tower for seven years.

Seven years have gone by, and there was even news from Chu Tianxing that he had advanced to the Golden Pill, but no matter what happened, it did not disturb Zhou Yiqiao's determination to go into seclusion and refine the Nascent Soul Pill.
