Chapter 18 Eternal Sleep

"What, what happened?"

Seeing that Lu Li looked a little strange, Chen Zhong suddenly became a little nervous.

"It's okay, just beat him." At this point, Lu Li couldn't say anything. In his opinion, beating Sun Zi'an was extremely unwise. As the saying goes, if you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it. If you want to kill him, you should kill him secretly.

If you just beat him up, when he recovers, it may lead to more serious revenge.

"Did I... do something wrong?" Chen Zhong scratched his head and said with a silly face.

Lu Li shook his head and changed the subject, "You didn't do anything wrong. I wanted to beat him a long time ago. Come on, tell me how you beat him..."

Although he was worried, he would not show it in front of his brothers. In addition, he was also very curious about how Chen Zhong defeated Sun Zi'an, who was in the second stage of Qi training.

You know, the second stage of Qi training has opened a complete Qi channel and can cast spells.

After hearing this, Chen Zhong immediately started to talk non-stop and told Lu Li the scene that happened before.

After listening to this, Lu Li understood it after a little deduction. In other words, Chen Zhong won the first move with his physical body, which frightened Sun Zi'an directly. Later, the opponent hastily cast a spell, but was blasted by Chen Zhong's punch, which frightened him so much that he dared not fight Chen Zhong again.

In this way, Lu Li came to at least two conclusions.

First, not all cultivators have strong physical strength. Their strong physical bodies are completely different. If used in battle, they can have an unexpected effect.

Second, strong physical strength is enough to resist some low-level spells, or as the physical body becomes stronger, it is no problem to resist high-level spells.

The two chatted for a while and then Chen Zhong left.

Qin Shouren had not come back yet, Lu Li did not think much about it, closed the door and entered into cultivation again.

So far, the second layer of the wood attribute barrier of his second acupoint has been broken, and it is the turn of the third layer of water attribute. I don’t know if it is because of the body training that his nerves are numb. At the beginning, it always felt like a needle prick when impacting the barrier, but now he just feels a little numb.

A night of silence.

Until the evening of the next day, Lu Li felt a little hungry and came back to his senses from the practice.

"I didn't expect to practice for a whole day and night."

Lu Li finally understood what it meant to practice without days and months. Ten hours in the outside world, eight or nine days in the Time Palace, almost passed in the blink of an eye.

Walking out of the room, Lu Li was ready to find something to eat, but found that Qin Shouren's door next to him was ajar. He frowned and walked towards Qin Shouren's room.

When he pushed the door open, he saw no sign of Qin Shouren. He was puzzled, "Why haven't you come back yet so late? Have you not finished cleaning yet?"

Just then, Chen Zhong came in from outside the yard, holding a tray with two plates of stir-fried vegetables and a large bowl of rice. Seeing Lu Li coming out, he hurried over, "Monkey, you haven't practiced, I got you something to eat."

"Thank you." Lu Li turned around and asked, "Did you see the beast?"

Chen Zhong thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, maybe he hasn't come back from work yet."

He handed the tray to Lu Li, "Eat something first, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Okay." Lu Li was worried and took the tray back to his room.

Two more days passed like this.

During this period, Lu Li also went out to fetch water for a day and filled the seventh pool. And Chen Zhong had already completed the task for this month, so he was practicing in the yard every day.

That day, in the evening.

Lu Li finally felt something was wrong, and rushed out of the room in a hurry, calling Chen Zhong and asking, "Is the beast not back yet?"

Chen Zhong frowned and thought for a while, "I have been in the yard during the day these two days, unless he sneaks back at night..." At this point, his face changed, "He won't be in trouble!"

"Let's go out and look for him!" Lu Li's heart was beating hard. It has been three or four days. With Qin Shouren's personality, if he succeeded in refining his body, he would come back to show off immediately. How could he hold it back for so long just to work?

He took Chen Zhong and ran up to Cuiyun Peak.

"Where did you go, where did you go, where are you, beast!......"

"Beast——!"

"......"

On the top of the peak, Lu Li and Chen Zhong were anxious, shouting while searching, but to their disappointment, there was no response from the mountain, and no traces of Qin Shouren were found.

"Fatty, go to the square and look, I'll look for it on the mountain again." Helplessly, Lu Li could only hope that Qin Shouren was sweeping the square.

"Okay!" Chen Zhong responded and rumbled down the mountain.

Lu Li continued to search on the top of the mountain, in the grass, bushes, and thorn forests, Lu Li rushed around and shouted non-stop.

The fire clouds in the sky began to retreat, and the night gradually fell. Lu Li had almost carpet-searched from the top of the mountain to the middle of the mountain.

Plop!

Suddenly, Lu Li couldn't brake in time, and just after jumping out of a bunch of leaves, he fell under the high ridge in front.

He was about to get up, but found that he stepped on something soft. Looking down, his face instantly became painful and hideous. He saw a ragged body with scars all over the body and a bowl-sized hole in the chest lying weakly at his feet.

"Beast——!"

Lu Li's pupils shrank and his mouth opened wide.

Then, regardless of the fact that the other party was almost rotten, he pounced on Qin Shouren and took him into his arms.

"Wake up, wake up... brother...!" Lu Li's eyes were red, and he shook Qin Shouren's body desperately, his heart was stabbing with pain like needles.

......

I don't know how long it took.

Lu Li suddenly heard Chen Zhong's anxious cry in the darkness, and he came to his senses, stood up and responded hoarsely, "I'm here."

Then, he saw Chen Zhong coming with a torch.

When Chen Zhong saw Lu Li and the body in front of him, he trembled, the torch fell to the ground with a snap, and rushed over, "Beast--! No! No, no..."

Lu Li's eyes were dull, and he didn't disturb Chen Zhong.

Until the other party sat aside weakly, Lu Li said, "Let's dig a pit together to bury him, we can't let him be exposed in the wilderness like this."

Chen Zhong nodded woodenly and stood up.

The two men found an open area and dug directly on the ground with their hands. Soon, they dug out a three-foot-deep pit. The two men lifted Qin Shouren's body into the pit, looked at it reluctantly for a while, and then buried it.

A small mound of earth just looked at the mountain quietly.

"Wait." Lu Li murmured, and walked down the mountain desolately.

Chen Zhong took a serious look at the mound of earth and followed it.

In the hazy night, the mound of earth looked so lonely. The young man who finally embarked on the road of cultivation did not expect to sleep here forever.
