too slow.
This speed is too slow.
Zhou Xuan frowned and felt anxious.
He didn't go out at all in the past three days. He devoted himself to practice, hoping to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, and the effect was indeed achieved.
He could feel that he was much closer to the fifth heaven.
but……
Not enough, still too slow, far from enough.
There are only five days left before that old dog of Zhou Taishan attacks Qing Wu. With such a speed of cultivation, even if he can barely break through the fifth level of Tongqiao, it is far from being able to defeat the three elders. The gap is too big!
Zhou Xuan clenched his fists and couldn't help but feel anxious!
"Don't be anxious. Cultivation is about a gradual process."
Huang Gou lay on the bedside and stretched lazily: "You are not bad in talent, but you can't be too fast, as that will damage your roots."
"I know."
"These days I have just broken through to the fourth level of Tongqiao. It is completely impossible to continue to break through quickly after setting foot in the middle realm of Tongqiao."
How could Zhou Xuan not know this truth? He shook his head and sighed.
"But continuing like this is not an option."
"Aren't there still a few days left? Brother, why are you so anxious? There might be some turning point. If not, those three old guys won't keep an eye on your sister all the time. There will always be opportunities to take advantage of her. "
Huang Gou coughed, far less anxious than Zhou Xuan.
"We can only find another way."
Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment, temporarily stopped practicing, and thought about something else.
There are only five days left. Rather than forcefully continue practicing, it is better to find more ways. As Huangou said, there may be opportunities to take advantage of it.
"Um?"
"The old man is here again."
The wild dog said something and turned to lie on the bed, looking like he was asleep.
Zhou Xuan's eyes flashed, and then he noticed two auras approaching. He immediately restrained all the auras, and his cultivation level dropped to the ninth level of body training.
This is the Turtle Breathing Method taught by Huang Gou.
It can be used to hide one's cultivation or practice under pressure, and the effect is remarkable.
On the day of the great competition within the Zhou Xuan clan, they relied on the Turtle Breathing Technique to avoid the detection of cultivation by several elders and try to hide their strength as much as possible.
"Xiao Xuan, are you there?"
A knock on the door suddenly sounded, and Zhou Liming's voice came.
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath, returned to normal, opened the door, and immediately saw Zhou Liming standing in front of the door, with deep sorrow in his eyebrows. Next to Zhou Liming, stood another slim woman, who was clearly Zhou Lanqing.
"Fifth Elder, Sister Lan Qing, why are you here?"
Zhou Xuan smiled. He had grown up with Zhou Lanqing and their relationship had always been very good.
After being reduced to a useless person, there was no chance to contact Zhou Lanqing.
What Zhou Xuan knew was that during this period, Zhou Lanqing was one of the few people who had never ridiculed or belittled him.
"Brother Zhou Xuan, we came here specially to see you."
Zhou Lanqing's voice is clear and her smile is sweet, making you feel like you are taking a breath of spring breeze.
Zhou Liming looked apologetic: "Xiao Xuan, I've been busy with clan affairs these days and haven't had time to come and see you. Are you okay?"
"Fifth Elder, sister Lan Qing, come in and sit down."
Zhou Xuan led the two of them through the door and smiled softly: "Whatever happens to me, there is no problem. It's good. The Fifth Elder is busy with matters within the clan, so why do you need to see me? I never have time to see you. "
He pondered for a moment and said with a serious expression: "Fifth Elder, you helped me block the palm of the Third Elder a few days ago. I, Zhou Xuan, will remember this kindness."
"What does that say?"
"It's just what I should do."
"Xiao Xuan, the important thing is that it's great that you can recover your cultivation."
Zhou Liming sat on the edge of the bed, smiling happily, with genuine joy on his face.
Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, unable to tell the truth, so he smiled and shook his head.
"This is also thanks to the Peiyuan Pill given by the fifth elder that day. At that time, I tried to practice again. After meditating for a night, my cultivation level recovered so much."
"That's good, that's good. God bless you and help you rebuild your cultivation."
Zhou Liming had never seen a case where cultivation was abolished and people started to practice again. He did not doubt Zhou Xuan's statement, and the smile on his face was extremely bright.
He looked at Zhou Xuan expectantly.
"I believe you will be able to regain your consciousness soon and reach the top."
"Thank you, Fifth Elder, for your help. It's just that the attitude of Second Elder and others towards me... is obvious to all. I hope Fifth Elder will be careful."
Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment and whispered a reminder.
Zhou Xuan became more and more aware of the madness of Zhou Cangshan and others.
If Zhang Xiao hadn't forcibly stopped him, he would have definitely taken action on that day. He didn't care about the Zhou family's face at all. Zhou Liming stood on his side openly, and it was hard to say that he would not be targeted by Zhou Cangshan and others.
Zhou Liming obviously knew this and frowned.
Zhou Liming's eyes flashed with anger, and he snorted coldly: "I finally saw their true selfishness a few days ago."
"You and Changkong are both geniuses of the Zhou family, why should we be treated differently?"
"In order to cultivate Changkong, you must be put to death!"
"Don't worry, I am also an elder of the Zhou family after all. They definitely don't dare to do anything to me blatantly. On the contrary, Xiaoxuan, you must be careful. They don't dare to act recklessly during the Ping Nancheng competition these days, but..."
Zhou Liming pondered slightly, his face full of worry.
"After the competition in Pingnan City is over, I'm afraid they won't let you go. I will try to help you, but my strength is limited."
"I know."
Zhou Xuan's eyes flashed and he was very calm.
He knew better than anyone that after the competition in Pingnan City, Zhou Cangshan and others would attack him.
Zhou Xuan was not too afraid.
Zhou Xuan had enough confidence to pass the final assessment.
As long as he entered the five major martial arts houses and lent some courage to Zhou Cangshan and others, he would definitely not dare to attack himself.
The only problem is, Qingwu...
"Yes, tomorrow you will go to Pingnan City to prepare for the competition. The Zhou family specially held a banquet. I couldn't stand their behavior, so I didn't go."
"I brought Lan Qing here to see you."
Zhou Liming's voice awakened Zhou Xuan, who was full of worry.
"Those two boys, Zhou Rui and Changkong, will definitely not get along with you, but you grew up together, so maybe you can take care of each other."
"I will not go to this Pingnancheng competition, so Lan Qing will leave it to you to take care of it."
Only then did Zhou Xuan realize that he was traveling far away, and Zhou Liming had provoked Zhou Cangshan and others, making it inconvenient for him to go out.
We must guard against those old guys stumbling upon us secretly.
Only then did he hope that he and Zhou Lanqing would have more contact and take care of each other.
"I understand, Fifth Elder, Lan Qing is also very strong. I believe he is capable of taking care of me."
Zhou Xuan comforted him, then his eyes flashed.
He vaguely realized that Ping Nancheng and his party might be a good opportunity to rescue Zhou Qingwu.
