Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 127 Refining, Lung Gold

As there were many people in the inn, Li Zhi was worried that he would be disturbed while refining the gold energy. He was also worried that any unexpected situation would cause unnecessary trouble.

So Li Zhi found the owner of the inn and discussed with him whether he could provide a remote and uninhabited house for him to live in.

How could the innkeeper agree to such an unreasonable request? However, when he saw Li Zhi's sincere face and the silver he handed over, he instantly understood the difficulties that Li Zhi had not told him.

So, he took Li Zhi and Master Liu to a remote house. According to the innkeeper, this was his relative's house. Now his family has settled somewhere else and the house here has been vacant for a long time. Li Zhi can stay here as long as he wants, as long as he pays.

After sending the innkeeper away, Li Zhi could finally concentrate on refining the golden energy that he had always desired.

Li Zhi rejected Master Liu's suggestion to protect him, and went straight back to his room and locked the door.

After thinking about it, Li Zhi sent out all the mosquito monsters he had trained.

After everything was ready, Li Zhi took out the stone containing gold energy.

The originally irregular stone was cut into a small piece by him when he was in Zhanzhou. Although a small part of the gold energy inside was separated out, fortunately, the gold energy contained in this stone itself was sufficient.

Moreover, Li Zhi had already refined a trace of gold energy when he was in Xiaoyao Mountain, so he was quite confident that he could break through the lung gold level this time.

Just as Li Zhi was about to start refining, his movements suddenly froze and his brows furrowed tightly.

He realized that something was not right because he sensed something strange through his spiritual connection with the mosquito demon from the outside world.

Originally, he should have been able to sense the mosquito demon that was sent to monitor Master Liu, but at this moment, it seemed to have disappeared into the air, and there was no sense of it at all.

This made Li Zhi feel a little uneasy because this situation was not common.

In the past, this loss of sensitivity would only occur when the mosquito demon died, but if the mosquito demon died, he would be aware of it.

But he did not receive any sense of being murdered or killed from the mosquito demon.

Li Zhi frowned deeply. He did not continue to refine it. Instead, he used his spiritual power to drive other mosquito monsters to find the whereabouts of Master Liu.

After a while, two mosquito monsters lost contact with Li Zhi at the same time when they passed by a place.

Li Zhi suddenly raised his head and found that the place where the mosquito demon lost its sensory contact was right at his door!

He slowly pulled out the black sword, and scarlet eyes instantly appeared on the black sword, moving around very smartly.

Li Zhi walked lightly and tried to steady his breathing so as not to alarm Master Liu outside.

He walked step by step without making any sound to the door, and just as he was about to open it.

But suddenly I heard a voice coming from outside the room.

"What's wrong? Did something go wrong? Don't worry about refining it. Your master will protect you outside!"

Immortal Master Liu's calm voice came.

Li Zhi was suddenly stunned. Was Master Liu protecting him?

Resisting the urge to open the door to see what Master Liu was doing, Li Zhi decided to refine the gold energy first.

Since Immortal Master Liu wants to protect the Dharma, then let him do it!

 …

At this time, outside Li Zhi's door, Master Liu was sitting there, motionless like a statue.

His right hand was slightly raised, palm facing up, as if an invisible force was holding up his palm.

A ball of grey energy was floating slowly in his palm, flowing slowly like a cloud. In this grey cloud, there were actually a few mosquitoes flying around in it, making a buzzing sound.

These mosquitoes flew around in the gray cloud like headless flies, but they were unable to fly out of this strange cloud.

Master Liu glanced at Li Zhi's locked door, and seemed to sense that Li Zhi in the room had already begun to refine the golden energy. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily drew an arc.

However, at this moment, his youthful appearance, which had been restored by rejuvenation, quietly changed. Tiny wrinkles appeared on his face like spider webs, gradually increasing in number.

At the same time, his shiny black hair slowly turned gray without him noticing, as if time had accelerated the pace of his life.

His body, which was originally sitting upright, suddenly hunched over.

His entire body is aging slowly and at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Master Liu seemed to be aware of his own changes, but his expression remained as calm as water, without the slightest ripple.

The change in appearance and the loss of vitality, Master Liu had already anticipated all of this, but at this moment he was extremely determined.

Because he has made all the preparations, now only the last step is left.

Master Liu looked at the closed door. His gaze seemed to penetrate the door at this moment and saw Li Zhi who was concentrating on refining the golden energy in the room.

He opened his lips slightly and whispered softly: "Don't let me down..."

The voice was barely audible, and I couldn't tell whether he was talking about refining the golden energy or something else...

 …

Li Zhi felt countless golden air currents surging like a tide and hitting his meridians.

Each stream of golden air seemed to carry an incomparable sharpness, like a sharp blade, ruthlessly cutting and tearing his meridians.

This feeling is completely different from the burning heat of fire and the gentleness of wood. It is a sharp feeling that belongs only to metal! It makes Li Zhi feel an indescribable pain and torture.

Under the ravages of the metal energy, Li Zhi's body began to tremble uncontrollably. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He bit his lips tightly, and he didn't notice even though his lips were bleeding.

He couldn't understand why he didn't feel so much pain when absorbing and refining the fire and wood energies, but why he suffered so much when refining the metal energy instead.

What Li Zhi didn't know was that the gold energy contained in the stone in Lou Manlou was not ordinary gold energy. The gold energy contained in this stone was several times richer than ordinary gold energy.

However, Lou Manlou didn't pay any attention to this situation at all. He just took a rough look and only knew that the stone contained a lot of gold energy.

As for Li Zhi, he was even less clear. He just thought that this piece of stone contained a lot of gold energy, otherwise he would not be willing to cut off a small part of it and give it to the Jin family.

Master Liu was even less aware of this situation because he had never even touched the stone.

This led to Li Zhi, without knowing it, directly absorbing and refining this enhanced version of gold energy, which was several times more concentrated than ordinary gold energy.

Gradually, even with the repair of the Living Wood Qi, Li Zhi's meridians could not keep up with the cleansing of the Metal Qi.

There were still cracks and scars on Li Zhi's meridians. A trickle of blood seeped out from the scars and then overflowed from the pores. After a while, Li Zhi's clothes were stained red with blood.

Li Zhi's eyes turned red. He knew that if he couldn't get through this level, he would be cut to death by this golden energy!

He took a deep breath, endured the severe pain, and guided the golden energy that was rushing through his body to his lungs. Li Zhi was still worried that his lungs would be injured by this violent golden energy.

He then circulated the fire energy in his heart, using fire to overcome metal, and suppressed the metal energy a little.

Then it circulates the Lung Wood Qi, healing the areas injured by the Metal Qi.

In this way, Li Zhi controlled the gold energy little by little to impact the lung gold gate in his body.

Time passed by minute by minute, Li Zhi went from day to night, and then from night to day.

at last!

Li Zhi was shocked and he slowly opened his eyes. Although his face was extremely pale, his eyes were very bright.

"call--"

Li Zhi exhaled lightly.

The energy swept across the table like a knife, leaving several deep marks on the table!

Lung Gold Great Success!
