After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 227 Different Roads

"It's sunny where you are, why do you always come here?" Shen Xu couldn't help but complain as he looked at the three women who had gathered in front of his wooden house again.

"Who said I came to find you? I came to find it." Bai Lu pointed to the Qiling White Crane standing next to her, which was ravenously eating the Zhuyu Fruit.

Shen Xu was speechless for a moment, and could only say helplessly, "I'm glad you like it."

"Has your team found the last member?"

“I’ve already gone to find Ye Zhi. Now we’re waiting for her to come find us so we can set off to register the team,” Bai Lu said slowly.

"Ye Zhi agreed? But are you sure she can find Qinglingxi?" Shen Xu questioned.

"Your seemingly ordinary friend is anything but ordinary. Where did you get to know so many amazing girls?" Bai Lu asked, frowning.

Upon hearing this question, Li Xiaoyi also raised her head.

"I want to know the answer to that question too. She really was just someone I randomly met," Shen Xu sighed softly.

"Shen Xu, I want to know why you are cultivating so hard. Now, the new disciples who have joined the Sword Alliance are all getting familiar with the life of the Sword Alliance, joining various teams, and learning various skills that interest them."

"And all you do every day is cultivate. Don't you want to go outside and see the world?" Li Xiaoyi suddenly asked.

"Of course I want to go out and see the world, but I don't have the strength, so I can only choose to improve my strength first."

"Besides, my talent for cultivation is far inferior to yours. If I don't work hard, I probably won't even be able to keep up with your rate of improvement from eating and drinking," Shen Xu said with some helplessness.

"If you want to improve your cultivation, you should earn Sword Alliance contribution points and then exchange them for time in the cultivation room, which has the effect of accelerating cultivation speed," Guan Bi reminded her.

"To be honest, the improvement in my cultivation speed in the Ancient Forest far surpasses that of the Sword Alliance's meditation room."

Actually, I've read all the manuals you gave me introducing the functions of each area of ​​the Sword Alliance. Aside from the library, which I'm somewhat interested in, many of the other places aren't suitable for me right now. Reaching the Qi Sea Realm is my real goal right now.

After Shen Xu finished explaining, he demonstrated his mid-stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivation to the three women. Feeling the faint pressure of his cultivation level emanating from Shen Xu, the three women were immediately shocked.

"Shen Xu, are you even human?" A sense of urgency suddenly welled up in Bai Lu's heart.

“It’s been less than two months since we left Kunyuan Palace, and you’ve already broken through a minor realm. Is this what you mean by low cultivation talent?” Guan Bi said in disbelief.

Li Xiaoyi frowned as she sensed Shen Xu's cultivation level.

"This is the improvement that the Ancient Forest has brought me, so please don't ask me why I don't go out. If possible, I can stay in the Ancient Forest until I break through to the Qi Sea Realm before going out."

That's why I want to get out of here as soon as possible to complete the mission; I want to focus on breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm in the Ancient Forest.

In his previous life, he spent a great deal of money to exchange for the Blood Fiend True Technique at the Blood Fiend Palace, and consumed a lot of his lifespan in order to break through to the Qi Sea Realm in less than two years.

Although he doesn't have the Blood Fiend True Technique in this life, Gu Mulin is no less powerful. In addition, he inexplicably broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Condensation, so he definitely has a chance to break through to the Qi Sea Realm within a year.

"Your words suddenly make me feel a little ashamed. After breaking through to the Qi Condensation Realm, I completely relaxed. After all, breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm would be two or three years from now."

"But Shen Xu, you've made me realize that there's never a moment to relax on the path of cultivation. People who are more capable than me are working even harder than me, so what reason do I have to relax?" Bai Lu said earnestly.

"Don't you want to hear what you're saying!" Shen Xu sighed deeply.

He was able to improve his cultivation so quickly because of the Ancient Forest. He couldn't imagine how fast Bai Lu and the others would break through to the Qi Sea Realm if they had the support of the Ancient Forest. They would probably break through to the Qi Sea Realm in just a few months!

"Choosing to break through to the Qi Sea Realm first is indeed a good choice, and the Sword Alliance has prepared the most special areas for the Qi Sea Realm."

However, accumulating experience in the Qi Condensation Realm and improving combat power by practicing martial arts manuals are equally important. When breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm, there is a high probability of triggering a state of enlightenment through communion with heaven and man. Without sufficient accumulation, it is easy to miss that opportunity. "Guan Bi reminded him.

"I think you should go to the library and take a look. You might find something that interests you. There's no need to rush into the Qi Sea Realm," Li Xiaoyi said.

Shen Xu knew they all wanted him to spend more time in the Qi Condensation Realm. If he had enough time, he would certainly be happy to do so, but he really didn't have much time.

Su Jing has always been a threat to him. If he cannot eliminate Su Jing in the major struggle for Ningzhou a few years later, all his plans will come to naught.

Moreover, two years of the ten years have already passed, and Zuo Chen is most likely unreliable, so he must prepare a backup plan as soon as possible, and only the Qi Sea Realm can grant him the qualification to venture out.

"I have reasons to break through as soon as possible, and my time is running out," Shen Xu said with a sigh.

"Is it because of the general trend you mentioned?" Li Xiaoyi asked疑惑地.

Shen Xu fell silent, not because he couldn't answer, but because he knew that if he did, Li Xiaoyi would ask even more questions, and those were the questions he couldn't answer.

"Since you don't want to answer, I'll ask Zuo Chen."

"I also hope that you can learn what kind of person I am from him," Shen Xu replied with a light laugh.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand a word of it," Bai Lu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's alright, I'm a little tired, please forgive me for not keeping you company for now." Shen Xu walked into the wooden house and closed the door.

Li Xiaoyi looked at the wooden house that Shen Xu had closed with a solemn expression. It seemed that Shen Xu's emotions would fluctuate significantly every time this topic was brought up.

What secrets is Shen Xu hiding in his heart, and what does she need to do to untangle his knot in his heart?

She had already asked Zuo Chen, but Zuo Chen told her that it wasn't the right time for her to know.

When she asked why he didn't let Shen Xu participate in the final battle, Zuo Chen only said that Shen Xu and he were not on the same path, so they could only cooperate temporarily, and he could not fully trust Shen Xu.

Which path did Zuo Chen take? Which path did Shen Xu take? And which path is she on now?

But she had a premonition that the path she was on wouldn't lead to the same one as Shen Xu's. This premonition made her feel very anxious and scared. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to walk this path with Shen Xu.

"Xiao Yi, do you know what's wrong with Shen Xu? This is the first time I've seen him like this," Bai Lu asked with some concern.

"What would you do if Shen Xu suddenly left without saying goodbye one day?" Li Xiaoyi asked Bai Lu.

"I'll find him and break his legs to make him behave. You know, I still owe him a lot of Nourishing Essence Pills!" Bai Lu said earnestly.

Hearing this, Guan Bi couldn't help but roll her eyes. However, she also sensed that Shen Xu's condition was not right. Coupled with Li Xiaoyi's problem, she began to consider how feasible Bai Lu's statement was.

Bai Lu's words reminded Li Xiaoyi that with her current strength, it was unlikely that she could restrain Shen Xu, but she knew that one person could definitely keep an eye on all of Shen Xu's actions.
