Do not die

Meng Zhou looked at the current personal information.

[Realm: Third level of Qi training: 96/100]

[Exercise: Water Nourishing Technique Dacheng: 270/400]

Before coming to Baiyue Bay, these two data were still "third level of Qi training: 41/100" and "accomplished water nourishing technique: 160/400".

These days in Baiyue Bay, he has not wasted at all.

"I'll go tomorrow...well, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow."

Having made up his mind, Meng Zhou sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to practice.

The abundant magic power in the meridians, under the pull of the Dacheng Water Nourishing Technique, is running over and over again, and is quickly reaching the ceiling of the third floor of Qi training.

The moment he broke through the barrier, the feeling of breaking the barrier was clearer than ever before. Meng Zhou even seemed to hear the sound of breaking glass and porcelain.

If the previous two breakthroughs were like pricking a hole with a needle, this time it was like being hit with a hammer.

Within the body, the originally ethereal smoke-like mana took on the shape of a semi-liquefied mist.

The quality of mana has obviously risen to a big level.

Meng Zhou clearly felt the vitality surging in his body, and his life limit increased by four years. From another perspective, he became four years younger.

But in terms of life status, he looked like an old man when he first came through, and now he is middle-aged and old.

This is the breakthrough from the third level of Qi training to the fourth level of Qi training.

This is a breakthrough from the early stage of Qi training to the middle stage of Qi training.

From this moment on, he barely escaped from the novice stage of Qi training and gained the ability to walk hobblingly.

However, as the cultivation progresses further, the high efficiency brought by the water nourishing technique at the Dacheng level decreases sharply.

The next day, Meng Zhou spent a day adjusting.

It was finally determined that the cultivation of the fourth level of Qi training and the cultivation of Dacheng Water Nourishing Technique will only increase a little bit every six weeks of operation.

Even with the additional benefits brought by the spiritual tea cleansing, the one-day practice progress is just +3.

…

…

"The quality of the Water Nourishing Art is indeed a bit low."

After a while, it was difficult for his cultivation to improve significantly, but due to the atmosphere he felt in the teahouse, Meng Zhou decided not to wait any longer, and strode out of the room.

At this moment, Meng Zhou's cultivation had just broken through to the fourth level of Qi training, but the aura emanating from his body looked like he had just broken through to the fifth level of Qi training.

When he went downstairs, he met the shopkeeper who was looking at the account book at the counter. He turned to look at Meng Zhou, with a look of surprise in his eyes and a smile on his face: "Congratulations, fellow Taoist!"

Meng Zhou also responded with a smile, "Same joy."

This time, the shopkeeper personally brought a breakfast to him.

Meng Zhou looked at the breakfast in front of him and asked in surprise, "Why did you switch to spiritual food today? Are you not doing business anymore?"

The shopkeeper said: "I'm treating you to this meal for free today."

Meng Zhou thanked him and lowered his head to eat. The shopkeeper kept talking to him beside him, and his attitude was obviously much more enthusiastic than before.

After finishing breakfast and putting down the dishes, Meng Zhou was about to go out. The shopkeeper asked out of curiosity: "Why are you leaving so early today?"

Meng Zhou said: "I've been suffocated at home these days. Let's go out and do some exercise."

A clear smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face, and Meng Zhou's figure disappeared outside the door. He also put away his smile and continued to look down at the account book.

Meng Zhou came to a ready-made clothing store on Laohuai Street. There were not many styles of clothes, but they were made of solid materials, durable and practical.

However, its real flagship products are several first-class low-grade robes. As the treasures of the store, they are all placed in the most eye-catching positions. They are the first thing customers see when they enter the room.

When Meng Zhou's eyes lingered for a while, the shop owner asked directly: "Which item does the customer like?"

Meng Zhou shook his head: "I can't afford it."

The man's interest in him immediately dropped. Even though Meng Zhou picked out two complete sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes in his store and paid ten taels of gold, he still had a stern look.

If this price were placed in the ordinary world, it would be more than enough to buy the entire store, let alone two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes.

After buying the things, Meng Zhou left Baiyue Bay without staying much, walked away on the waves, and disappeared.

More than two hours later, a figure less than 1.8 meters tall, but more stocky and prosperous appeared from another direction and entered Gujing Street directly.

Arrive in front of the grocery store.

When he reached the door, Meng Zhou suddenly slowed down. Bai Ya was sitting on the threshold, braiding straw rope, and a vivid grasshopper was quickly born between the fingers of his hands.

It wasn't until she finished the items in her hands and returned to her mind that she felt a huge shadow surrounding her.

She looked up and saw a tall, burly man standing outside the door, looking down at her with a smile.

But she suddenly put her hands behind her back, hiding the straw grasshopper, and moved her butt to the side so that Meng Zhou could enter.

Meng Zhou nodded to him and stepped into the grocery store.

Here, there are many daily necessities, most of which are made of straw or rattan.

There are bamboo hats, baskets, fish baskets, and even two pieces of rattan armor. They don't look very exquisite, but they are surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

In the dim light of the room, a white-haired old woman was lying on a wicker chair, her eyes half closed, as if she was asleep.

But when Meng Zhou walked around the store twice but didn't buy anything, she suddenly said, "What does the customer need?"

The voice was hoarse, cold and distant.

Meng Zhou pointed to the two pieces of rattan armor in front of him and asked curiously: "Grandma Bai, how can I sell these two pieces of rattan armor?"

"Take one of the six low-grade spiritual stones and two of the ten."

Meng Zhou was surprised: "So expensive? I think the material used is just ordinary rattan, right?"

Granny Bai didn't speak again, not even an additional explanation.

Meng Zhou waited for a while and saw that she really had no intention of speaking again. He coughed slightly in embarrassment and said, "Grandma Bai, I want to ask you something."

The old woman finally spoke again: "Old woman, I don't sell information here. If you want to find out anything, go elsewhere."

Her voice was colder than last time, but her eyes were always closed, without even looking at him.

Meng Zhou saw that she was so unsociable, so he did not talk around in circles with him, and said directly: "I wonder if Granny Bai knows Bai Zhi, what is her relationship with her, or is she herself?"

The old woman lying on the wicker chair was stunned for a few seconds. She suddenly sat up and opened her eyes. Her muddy old eyes looked directly at Meng Zhou. A powerful aura rose from her body. She actually had the advanced level of Qi training. It is definitely not the fifth level of Qi training.

Seeing this scene, Meng Zhou was about to use Qinggong and run away.

A clear voice suddenly sounded between the two of them: "Ah, uncle, do you know my aunt?"

The old woman's aura suddenly fell back to the fifth level of Qi training. She looked at Bai Ya who suddenly interrupted and scolded: "Shut up, don't talk too much!"

Then he turned to look at Meng Zhou with a solemn expression: "Where did you know her? How did you find her here?"

In this brief moment, Meng Zhou's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and his mentality gradually relaxed and calmed down from the tension of that moment.

He was already convinced that he was safe.

At the beginning, the former master was able to walk sideways during the entire middle stage of Qi training due to his fourth-level Qi training level and the skills of a martial arts master.

Now, his cultivation level is comparable to that of his former master at his peak, and his martial arts cultivation level is even stronger. The changes brought about by becoming a master can increase his intimidation level by two or three levels again.

Since he was safe, he certainly wouldn't leave in a hurry.

Granny Bai's reaction just showed that she had found the right one.

He did not waste any time with her, and directly took out the "Water Nourishing Technique" from his arms, and absorbed the power of the Dacheng Shui Nourishing Technique, and a paragraph of text appeared on the cover of the book.

He showed her the text.

Granny Bai's eyes stayed on that paragraph of text and she said nothing for a long time.

After a long time, she slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at Meng Zhou again, her tone becoming cold again.

"what is your purpose?"

"I want to complete the exercise."

Granny Bai said, "This matter has nothing to do with me."

Meng Zhou said:

"Why it has nothing to do with you, your performance just now shows that the relationship between you and Bai Zhi is very close.

Moreover, I didn’t take it for free. I won’t miss you even one of the spiritual stones you need! "

Granny Bai still shook her head, "Who should you look for?"

After that, he lay down again and closed his eyes.

Meng Zhou scolded: "You keep saying that honesty is the foundation, but you do this to the exercises. Don't you think this behavior is shameful?"

Granny Bai closed her eyes and ignored him at all, as if she was completely asleep.

On the other hand, Bai Ya next to her looked troubled. She looked at Meng Zhou, then at her mother-in-law on the wicker chair, and finally couldn't help but say:

"Mother-in-law, this is my aunt after all..."

Before she could finish her words, the old woman scolded her coldly: "Shut up, if you say one more word, your mouth will be sewn shut!"

Bai Ya pouted, but didn't dare to say another word.

"Okay, let's go."

After saying that, the old woman seemed to have really fallen asleep.

Seeing this, Meng Zhou sighed helplessly, but stopped entangled and turned to leave.

Try to wrap up this episode tomorrow and explain the purpose
