Not long after they started their journey again with their senior brother, Zhuzhu felt something strange in the red caltrop war mirror in her dantian.
Unfortunately, she then remembered that Huahua had been put into the Hongling Battle Mirror by her to avoid the crisis. The Hongling Battle Mirror was shaking, which reminded her that Huahua had completed the challenge and was about to come out.
Zhuzhu quickly and quietly summoned the red caltrop war mirror from her dantian, and then put it into the demon pet bag without anyone noticing.
She knew that this little move could not be hidden from the eyes of her senior brother. In fact, she did not want to hide it from him, the eldest sister and Jiaojiao.
She was just worried about the unknown female cultivator, and the red caltrop war mirror was too precious, so she could only cover it up.
Not long after putting it into the demon pet bag, Huahua jumped out of the red caltrop war mirror. Although the coat looked a bit dirty, what was gratifying was that Huahua successfully entered the sixth level.
It seems that it found a breakthrough in the battle.
She and Huahua terminated the master-servant contract, and Huahua is no longer her demon pet.
So she put Huahua out of the demon pet bag and wanted to ask it if it wanted to continue following her or find another way to make a living.
Unexpectedly, Huahua stepped forward and licked the palm of her hand, and begged with an uneasy look on her face: "Now that my strength has improved by one level, I have the ability to fight side by side with my master. Master, can you please not drive Huahua away?"
When Zhuzhu heard Huahua's words, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart. Huahua worked so hard to improve her strength just to fight alongside her and protect her. How could she not feel bad for herself.
"I'm not trying to drive you away. After all, you and I grew up together. Even without that contract, you are still one of my most important family members. It's just that every spiritual beast doesn't want to be contracted by humans and longs for freedom. practice, so I want to ask you if you want to choose a free life, or continue to follow me?"
Huahua has now reached the sixth level of cultivation. If she chooses to live a free life, there should be no problem in protecting herself outside.
Moreover, it is kind and honest by nature, and does not like to fight with other monsters, so when she encounters a crisis, she always uses Huahua as a life-saving talisman for escape, and rarely lets it participate in battles.
The reason why she was willing to let go was because Huahua had saved her many times, and it was time for her to return her freedom.
"Huahua never wants to leave her master."
Unexpectedly, Huahua gave up her free life without a second thought and still chose to be with her.
"Then we will be family from now on. You don't need to call me master anymore, just call me sister."
Zhuzhu no longer intends to bind a contract with Huahua. Although she can no longer rely on the contract to communicate with each other, Huahua has a lot less constraints.
If she encountered irreversible danger again, Huahua would have a chance to escape without the influence of the contract.
Who would have thought that Huahua still insisted on calling her her master, but there was a slight change, that is, she was unwilling to return to the demon pet bag.
Probably after this disaster, Huahua was afraid of being abandoned by her again, so she insisted on following her every step of the way.
Zhuzhu had no choice but to let it do what it wanted.

With the elder brother, the Yuanhou monk, here, the return trip went smoothly.
It only took them one month to reach the sect.
Counting this time, it has been more than ten years since Ni Sifeng left the sect.
It has been five years since Zhuzhu and Chen Xuejiao left the sect to go out for training.
This is the longest time the three of them have left the sect.
Because the eldest sister is a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall and must report the situation to the Law Enforcement Hall, she cannot return to Chilian Peak first.
The senior brother took the opportunity to hand over Yuan Luoluo, whose Dantian and seven meridians had been sealed, to Ni Sifeng and asked her to bring it to the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Zhuzhu and Chen Xuejiao have been away from Qingmu Peak and Thunder Peak for a long time, and they can't wait to return to each peak.
After Zhuzhu followed her senior brother back to Qingmu Peak, she rushed to Qingyun Palace. She had not seen her master for more than five years, and she suddenly felt that she missed him very much.
"Little junior sister, master is not at Qingmu Peak, you don't need to rush to Qingyun Palace."
The senior brother stopped her and said, "Not long ago, you should have forcibly achieved a breakthrough with the help of foreign objects, right?
Although you have raised your cultivation level to the middle stage of Golden Core in a short period of time, your foundation and spiritual veins will still be greatly damaged, which will also affect your ability to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future. It is better to go back and stabilize your cultivation base to cultivate your spiritual veins and wait for you to come out. Come find your senior brother again to refine your natal magic weapon. "
I thought that I could have a natal magic weapon that understood my own thoughts and could grow with my cultivation.
Zhuzhu's heart was moved.
However, she understood that her top priority now was to go back to her bamboo house to repair her body's foundation.
This is the most important thing, otherwise there will be problems with her foundation and spiritual veins, and she may not be able to enter the Nascent Soul stage in the future.
At that time, it will be useless to have the best natal magic weapon.
"My eldest sister and the others also absorbed the best spiritual stones to force a breakthrough. Have you ever..."
Zhuzhu suddenly thought that her eldest sister and Jiaojiao had absorbed the best spiritual stones and forcibly broke through their cultivation just like her. Was their foundation seriously damaged?
Will it affect future cultivation and advancement?
"Your eldest sister has the fire phoenix nourished in her Dantian. The two complement each other. Her foundation and spiritual veins can be repaired by the phoenix true fire. Her foundation is not a problem. Your friend is weaker than you in cultivation. In addition, she doesn’t absorb much, and her body is often baptized by Thunder Peak’s thunder, so her spiritual veins and Dantian are tougher than ordinary monks, so she won’t be affected at all.”
True Lord Beichen was afraid that his junior sister would not be able to let go of her worries and stabilize her cultivation, so he patiently clarified her doubts.
"That's good, that's good."
Zhuzhu immediately beamed with joy, "Thank you, senior brother. Junior sister, I will go back and practice hard now."
The reason why the eldest brother handed Yuan Luoluo to the eldest sister to take to the Law Enforcement Hall was probably to accompany him back to Qingmu Peak to say these words.
Thinking of this, Zhuzhu was very moved.
Although the master is the hands-off boss most of the time, he is very generous and open-minded to his disciples, and he is very protective of their shortcomings, so the inner disciples are rarely willing to have grudges with the disciples of Aoki Peak.
The senior brother has a cold face but a warm heart. He is both a teacher and a brother to Zhuzhu, and he has helped her a lot in her cultivation.
It was because of him and her master that she felt like home when she first entered Aoki Peak.
It gave her, who was extremely insecure at the time, a sense of belonging to the Tianyun Sect for the first time.
————
Although the best spiritual stone is pure without a trace of impurities, the spiritual power contained in it is indeed too strong.
This time when she went back and took a closer look, Zhuzhu discovered that her Dantian and spiritual veins were indeed on the verge of collapse.
There was still a lot of endless Qi in Dantian before that could be used to slowly repair it.
However, she was seriously injured in the recent battle with Fen Tianjun, which almost depleted the endless energy in her body before she could repair her injuries.
In the past few days, there is not much accumulated in the Dantian.
It does seem to be a drop in the bucket to repair Dantian and spiritual veins.
But taking elixirs, if the amount is too much, it will produce impurities in the body's spiritual veins, thereby blocking the spiritual veins or other meridians.
The best way is to quietly use the mental method of [Rejuvenate Dead Trees], slowly accumulate the energy of life, and then repair the Dantian and spiritual veins bit by bit.
Based on this calculation, she may have to stay in seclusion for at least a year before she can come out.
But for Zhuzhu, who is now in the middle stage of Golden Elixir, one year is naturally not that long.
She set up a non-disturbing protective formation outside the bamboo building, then closed her eyes and immersed her consciousness in her Dantian to recover...
