64.Dual Spiritual Roots!!

Qi Lingshuang's figure completely disappeared. Xu Shan picked up his clothes and put them on one by one, not knowing exactly how he felt. When people are in the plot, they will be affected to some extent. Just now, seeing Qi Lingshuang's performance, he had to admit that he was indeed moved. He had truly immersed himself in the character both physically and mentally! This kind of experience would take a while to fade away...

After getting dressed, Xu Shan hid in the dense forest and walked under the thick trees. He couldn't be in a hurry now. The speed and noise of flying with a sword were both too great, and it was very easy for him to be detected from the sky. He didn't know when he could get out of the Biluo Forest. It would be better to take it slow and come up with a plan before moving on.

Now he was all alone. According to what Diwu Lianfeng said, those who were chasing him were all Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Once caught, he would almost surely die! Moreover... There must be not only the Zixiao Sword Sect hunting him down, but also other sects.

The only item he could use now was the optical disc. However, the higher the cultivation level of the target it was used on, the more spiritual energy the item would consume. There wasn't much of the Spiritual Crystal Core left in his body. If he faced a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the Spiritual Crystal Core might be used up in no more than two or three attempts.

And the optical disc also had extremely big flaws. For now, the plot that appeared after using it was random and completely uncontrollable. Unless he could recognize the plot the moment it started and seize the position of the main character within a second's reaction time, which would be the best, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died.

Given the nature of the items from the Qingyin, if a Korean drama plot came up by chance, even if he became the main character, it wouldn't be surprising if he was hit by a car and turned into a vegetable... He could only take one step at a time.

The trees in the Biluo Forest were extremely dense. Xu Shan, holding a sword, walked carefully under the tree canopies, always alert to the sky. Fortunately, after walking for two hours, no one came chasing after him.

He hadn't slept after flying with the sword all night, and coupled with the high level of mental tension, Xu Shan was extremely tired. He found an extremely thick tree, dug a hole near the root, crawled into it, and covered the entrance with tree bark. Curled up in the tree hole, Xu Shan felt a little more at ease. The dark and enclosed environment unexpectedly provided him with a lot of a sense of security.

"Zhang Biao, help me see how my spiritual roots are now."

Xu Shan only had the mood to care about the fact that his spiritual roots had been torn into two pieces now. Thinking about it carefully, it was really outrageous. He had never seen such a situation in the online novels he read in his previous life. Spiritual roots could be torn apart. But when it came to the miraculous Zhang Biao, this matter seemed to make sense.

Zhang Biao slipped into Xu Shan's back, took a look, and then came out with a bit of apology on his face. "Master Xu, they're still in two pieces."

Xu Shan sighed. "How long is each piece?"

Zhang Biao stretched out two fingers to gesture.

Xu Shan looked at the length he gestured, which was about one or two centimeters, and felt extremely frustrated. "Just... is it only this long?"

Seeing Xu Shan's pained expression, Zhang Biao felt even more apologetic. Although it was Master Xu who asked him to tear the spiritual roots, after all, he was the one who tore them apart.... Master Xu had been so kind to him, and it really wasn't right to tear his roots apart. Moreover, he didn't have the ability to fix it. He couldn't even tie them back together!

Zhang Biao stammered in an attempt to comfort him. "A-Actually, the short ones are also quite cute, you know."

"I beg you to shut up... If you don't know how to talk, just don't say anything!"

Zhang Biao scratched his head, turned into a little man, and squatted beside Xu Shan awkwardly.

Xu Shan closed his eyes and circulated his qi, feeling the flow of spiritual energy in his body. After more than ten minutes, he opened his eyes with a hint of surprise in them. There was no impact! There was no loss in terms of functionality! Although his spiritual roots had become two pieces, the experience of using them was no different from when he had one intact spiritual root before. It seemed that his artificial dual spiritual roots weren't such a bad thing after all.

However, compared with Zhang Biao, who was a human-shaped spiritual root, his innate spiritual roots were still in a dispensable state.

"Master Xu, are there people chasing you? How long are we going to hide here? If it doesn't work, let's report it to the authorities."

Xu Shan smiled bitterly. "I also want to report it to the authorities, but there's no authority in this world that can take care of our business."

"In case something happens to me, you just run for your life. Remember, after you get out, you have to learn to play dumb and never get caught by others."

It seemed that no one in the cultivation world really cared about the Nether Spirit. It was even less noticeable than a rabbit on the roadside. Zhang Biao was very honest and extremely unique. Once caught, there was an eighty percent chance that he would be imprisoned and studied.

After getting along with each other for so long, Zhang Biao was loyal to him, and there was indeed affection between them. He couldn't let Zhang Biao get involved in his own danger.

Zhang Biao didn't say anything. The little man, as big as a palm, lowered his head and squatted on the ground, drawing on the ground with his finger. It was a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Master Xu, let's go. Can't we just hide far away?"

Xu Shan tilted his head back and thought. Leaving... It definitely wasn't a wise choice to leave now. At this moment, there were probably already many people searching for him in the sky above the Biluo Forest. Without the certainty of escaping, it would be better to hide here. He still had a lot of Bigu Pills and spirit stones, which were enough to support him for a while.

"No, we won't leave for now. We'll stay here. Right now, there are people chasing us outside. Instead of running away, it's better to stay here and wait for them to leave."

"You go back into the ring first. We'll continue to cultivate."

Zhang Biao nodded and slipped into the ring on Xu Shan's hand. Xu Shan immediately took out a middle-grade spirit stone, held it in his hand, and circulated the Star Attraction Technique. The vast spiritual energy in the spirit stone was quickly channeled into his body through Zhang Biao's transformation.

Feeling the change of spiritual energy in his body, the corners of Xu Shan's mouth turned up slightly. After going through so much hardship, he finally had some good news. It seemed that his meridians had been widened a lot by the crazy output of the Spiritual Crystal Core in the secret realm, and the flow of spiritual energy was much stronger than before.

With Zhang Biao's help, at this cultivation speed, a hundred middle-grade spirit stones might not last long. He couldn't use up all these spirit stones and had to keep some for emergencies.

He would stay here to cultivate... When he used up eighty spirit stones, it would be the day he left seclusion!

...

Fifteen days later, above the Biluo Forest, figures flashed continuously in various places, almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. Powerful auras were released without any concealment, causing the wild beasts in the forest to flee.

I don't know how long it had passed, but thirteen figures gathered in the sky. The person in the lead was an old man.

The old man, with a gloomy expression, said to the other twelve people, "Haven't you found him yet?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"The spiritual energy fluctuations in the Biluo Forest are too strong, and there are quite a few demonic beasts. Xu Shan has low strength, and it's really difficult to find him."

"I guess he should be hiding somewhere in the forest. Otherwise, it's impossible that we haven't found anything until now."

"The Biluo Forest is so big. If we keep searching like this, I'm afraid we won't achieve anything. How about setting up the Divine Searching Formation?"

The old man pondered for a moment. "Setting up the formation... That's the only thing we can do..."

After saying that, he looked around and sneered. "Everyone, isn't it boring to hide? Why don't you come out and meet us!"

As soon as the words fell, dozens of figures jumped out from various places in the forest! ...
