The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2896 Absent-minded
Zhou Zixing had no idea what Zhou Ke was thinking at the moment. Even if he knew, he would just smile and pass it off.

After all, if he can remember his family and still think about his family even after hoping to advance himself to become a congenital master, then the Zhou family’s training will not be in vain, and those resources will not be wasted.

But now, what Zhou Zixing wants most is to escape from Chen Mo's control, but this idea can be said to be a luxury.

Especially in the tent, when the pain came, it was no different from taking your life.

Damn it, if it happens again, I really don’t think I can take it. I don’t want to experience that kind of pain that goes deep into my bone marrow again.

In fact, what Zhou Zixing didn’t know was what was on the back of his neck.

Lan Caijie, who was cultivating in the soul crystal at the back of his neck, naturally had the right to speak. After all, as a woman, how could she let an old man touch the place where she lived. In addition, Chen Mo had already told her to keep an eye on this old Deng.

So not listening to Chen Mo would be a mistake.

Therefore, Lan Caijie directly used a little spiritual power to impact Zhou Zixing. The impact point was the spinal nerve. This nerve is the thickest in the human body and is also a nerve channel. It can transmit nerve information from other limbs other than the head.

Although Lan Caijie was an ancient, she knew this nerve. It was called differently, but it had the same purpose. Especially since Chen Mo had explained it in detail, how could she not remember it? So she used her spiritual power to impact the spinal nerve. Not only would the pain be so intense, it would also make a person unable to move and lose control of their limbs.

This is also the reason why Chen Mo placed the soul crystal at the back of his neck. It is close to the head, and all the nerve information of the body must be transmitted through here. Therefore, as long as there is a little bit of stimulation, it can make Zhou Zixing feel extremely happy.

Although Zhou Zixing was an innate master, as long as he could not remove the soul crystal from the back of his neck, he would always be controlled by Lan Caijie. Moreover, he was not clear about this control, and he didn't even know why.

In addition, Lan Caijie's soul crystal can also hear and see the people around her talking to Zhou Zixing, as well as some actions, etc. After all, Lan Caijie is also a cultivator, and even if she is now a soul body, she still has spiritual consciousness. Although the distance cannot be compared with Chen Mo's spiritual consciousness, it is enough to monitor Zhou Zixing's behavior.

What made Chen Mo speechless was that there was a ban in the valley, suppressing the spiritual consciousness, and suppressing its range within three meters. However, although Lan Caijie's spiritual consciousness did not go far, after being suppressed here, it was also within the three-meter range.

This is really something that makes Chen Mo laugh and cry. This is really a ban that suppresses everything to a fair position.

Therefore, as long as Lan Caijie sweeps with her spiritual sense, she will know everything that happens within a three-meter range of Zhou Zixing.

If he made any small movements, or let others see what was on the back of his neck, Lan Caijie would know it long before he said it, and then she would cut off all of Zhou Zixing's words and body movements, preventing him from communicating with others.

Even though the mental fluctuations emanating from Zhou Zixing were sensed by Qian Ying and others, it meant nothing.

After all, the source of the wave was Zhou Zixing's body, and only Qian Ying, who was able to sense mental power, could understand why Zhou Zixing emitted such mental power fluctuations, and would also think that Zhou Zixing was a warrior with relatively high mental power.

In addition, everything about Zhou Zixing was monitored by Lan Caijie, and it was difficult for him to escape from Lan Caijie's control. This was also the reason why Chen Mo placed the soul crystal behind his neck.

At this moment, Zhou Zixing was moving towards the area where Qian Ying was. Although he used his qi and blood to dry his clothes, there were still many wrinkles on the clothes.

But at this moment, he no longer paid attention to these small details. His whole mind was immersed in despair and struggle, wondering how he could escape from Chen Mo's control.

Therefore, the conversation with Qian Ying was a bit confusing and incoherent.

Qian Ying was also very curious. She originally thought that Zhou Zixing would blame her, or even try to gain some benefits for the Zhou family during the conversation.

After all, when Qian Ying was attacked by a strange beast on the hilly nursery, he turned around and ran away, which was a bit unrighteous. However, both of them had expected this kind of thing, but if Qian Ying needed Zhou Zixing's help later, then this matter still needed an explanation.

But what Qian Ying didn't expect was that Zhou Zixing didn't get involved too much, but just talked about what happened when he came back, which was very calm.

After leaving the nursery, he ran all the way. When he saw that there were no strange beasts chasing him halfway, he rested for a while, recovered a little, and then continued running, all the way towards the designated meeting place.

Moreover, along the way, when the thick fog thinned to a certain extent, some signs were seen, and naturally we came here.

Zhou Zixing's expression was a little confusing, but after verifying it, it can be understood.

Finally, Qian Ying felt that Zhou Zixing's somewhat confused behavior might be the sequelae of stress during the escape, and he would be able to recover after some time.

So he didn't ask any more questions, nor did he discuss the details of leaving the Hilly Nursery. He just let Zhou Zixing go back and have a good rest, as there were still many things waiting for everyone. Zhou Zixing was absent-minded. After hearing this, he just nodded and agreed, said goodbye to Qian Ying, and returned to the Zhou family's temporary camp.

"Elder, what happened to Elder Zhou? I noticed that he seemed a little absent-minded and troubled." Qian Wantong said.

Just now, he was the one who led Zhou Zixing to Qian Ying's side and stood guard outside the tent. He also heard the conversation between Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing very clearly, so after Zhou Zixing left, he asked with some curiosity.

"Haha, it might be because I was being chased by a strange beast and the situation was critical, so I had a stress response and haven't recovered yet. So the way I speak and do things may be a little incoherent. But it's not a big deal. I may be fine after a good rest." Qian Ying said.

Qian Ying had seen this kind of behavior before, so naturally she thought it was this kind. Although Zhou Zixing was a congenital master, it couldn't be said that this person had a higher mental quality and wouldn't have any stress reaction. Everyone would have it. As long as they faced a huge crisis, people with low mental quality would definitely have adverse reactions.

Qian Wantong nodded in agreement, feeling that his elders' judgment should be correct. He also sneered at Zhou Zixing's stress reaction. He didn't expect that a master of the second level of innateness would have such a poor psychological quality and would actually have a stress reaction. It was really funny.

Perhaps, this kind of thing can also become a means to deal with Zhou Zixing in the future, and it may even have some miraculous effects, hehe.

"Okay, now that Zhou Zixing is able to come back, our subsequent actions will be more confident. After all, a congenital master is still very helpful to our entire team. So don't spread some words casually." Qian Ying said.

"Okay, Elder." Qian Wantong replied. He knew very well that, after all, Zhou Zixing was also a master of the second level of innateness, so some things were better to be kept to oneself, and one must not spread them around, otherwise, when the time came to investigate, Elder Qian would not be able to protect himself.

"Okay! It's good that you understand. You go and do your work. I still need to continue practicing." After Qian Ying finished speaking, he waved his hand, went straight into the tent, and continued to meditate and practice.

After Qian Ying entered the tent, Qian Wantong slipped away to do other things.

On the other side, after Chen Mo and Zhou Zixing separated, they did not wait there, but went straight to the hilly nursery.

After all, there are still a lot of golden-edged snow lotus in the nursery. I was busy last night and collected some of them. I also fought with the big white dough and destroyed some of them.

This morning, Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing went up to the nursery and had another conflict with the strange beasts. So he wanted to see if the golden-edged snow lotus on the hilly nursery had been destroyed.

You have to know that he had reserved these golden-edged snow lotuses long ago and regarded them all as his private property. Therefore, he went to count them. If the loss was too great, Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing would definitely pay the price.

The journey back was safe and we did not encounter any big white dough.

When we got to the gentle slope of the hill, we still didn't see any. There was only the howling wind and snow, nothing else.

He quickly climbed up the gentle slope of the hill and came to the top of the nursery. He was immediately annoyed. It was just as he had guessed. Then he walked around the nursery and carefully checked it. He found that at least ten golden-edged snow lotuses were damaged.

Damn these two old Dengs, I will make them pay the price in the future.

Fortunately, Chen Mo discovered that among the ten golden-edged snow lotuses, several could still be collected and used as medicinal materials, some were damaged, and some were still active.

After his divine sense swept over, he took out his engineer shovel and began to collect the usable parts of the golden snow lotus. Anyway, it would be possible to use these snow lotus to refine medicinal materials in the future.

Of course, during the collection process, some silkworms still came out and attacked him. However, these silkworms were very easy for him to deal with. He just used the engineer shovel to knock them away.

The collection process was very fast. Within almost three minutes, several golden-edged snow lotuses that were more than half damaged were collected. Then they were put into the Qiankun bag. He slapped away the silkworms that attacked him, and then flashed away from the nursery.

The silkworms did not continue to follow, but stopped attacking after reaching the edge of the nursery. Although there were already a lot of them, they all returned after Chen Mo left the nursery.

Chen Mo stood in the middle of the gentle slope, but did not encounter those big white doughs. He was a little curious. Why didn't those big white doughs come out to attack him?
Is it because he is afraid of himself?

He looked at the several lumps of ice on the gentle slope, but just glanced at them twice without any other action.

Since you are freezing to death here, then just stay here. Let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate.

I had originally wanted to lure out a few big white doughs and kill them to vent my anger, but seeing the current situation, they would not come out. I could only mutter a few times and then quickly move forward.

Ouyang Ruoxi is waiting for him in front of him, and he can't let her wait too long.
