Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

Compared with the neurasthenia and anxiety of the previous few days, his condition has obviously improved a lot, his face is rosy and he is full of energy.

Instead of weakening, the Qi and blood actually improved slightly.

Anle and Qing Zhengyang didn't have any deep hatred, so as long as he was given silver, Anle would naturally do his best. He would not only take back the Void Demon Armor, but also improve his physique.

Qing Zhengyang smiled and said, "I heard someone say there was a dark-faced man standing at the entrance of the martial arts hall, so I guessed it was you, Brother Hai."

"It's been a long time since we last met. It seems that your martial arts skills have improved again, Zhengyang."

Hai Yuqing patted his shoulder and asked curiously, "Why is Xuanling Martial Arts School closed? What happened?"

Qing Zhengyang smiled bitterly: "It's a long story..."

Seeing his expression, Hai Yuqing knew that Qing Zhengyang didn't want to talk more, so he smiled and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Brother Lu Bin, a good friend I met on the road. From now on, he will protect my safety."

Qing Zhengyang turned his head to look at Anle and couldn't help frowning slightly.

This young man looked too young, and his aura was even more ordinary. There was nothing outstanding about him, which made it impossible for him to trust him.

"Brother Hai, this is different from what we originally agreed on, right?"

Hai Yuqing had already agreed that Qing Zhengyang would be the bodyguard.

Of course, brothers should settle accounts clearly, and Hai Yuqing will pay Qing Zhengyang a reward that will satisfy him.

And now, suddenly a young boy appeared out of nowhere and tried to snatch the job away. Qing Zhengyang was naturally a little dissatisfied.

"Zhengyang, don't be in a hurry."

Hai Yuqing had anticipated this: "I will need your help in the future, and I will definitely need your money."

Qing Zhengyang frowned even deeper: "It's not a matter of money."

Although he is greedy for money, he also has true friendship for Hai Yuqing.

Qing Zhengyang knew that if the other party came to Baoqi County to be the county magistrate, he would inevitably encounter many difficulties and great resistance. Whether it was the landlords, gentry, or those wealthy businessmen, they would band together to exclude him. The degree of danger was self-evident.

When the time comes, when some evil methods are used, how can such a young boy resist it?

In Qing Zhengyang's opinion, although Hai Yuqing has reached the third realm of martial arts, his vision is limited and he often makes friends carelessly. The "brothers" he meets are a mixed bunch, and he has been associated with some frauds who have taken advantage of their fame.

Qing Zhengyang said, "Brother Hai, who is this person?"

"Recently, Baoqi County has been unstable. The Dong family has found a mysterious old immortal named Wuxu, who has great magical powers. The gentry are also connected with him. We should hire more experts to prevent any accidents."

Hai Yuqing said confidently, "Brother Lu is enough to suppress those scoundrels. I invited you... because I have other things to do."

After hearing this, Qing Zhengyang looked at Anle carefully again.

He was dressed in green, with a fair and delicate face, red lips and white teeth, and soft skin all over his body. There was no trace of hard training at all. He did not look like a warrior, but more like a quiet scholar studying hard.

Qing Zhengyang's face looked a little ugly. Before he could speak, he heard Anle say lightly.

"Your energy and blood are so strong and vigorous, I'm afraid you have been tempering it for more than ten years, right?"

"It's a pity that your foundation was not solid in your early years, and you used elixirs to make up for the deficit, which made it difficult for you to advance in your realm now. It is even more difficult to break through to the fourth realm. That's why you want to make a lot of money and earn more silver while you are young, right?"

An Le commented casually: "Among the warriors of the third realm, he is not considered weak, but he still lacks the skills to keep County Magistrate Hai in Baoqi County."

Hearing this, Qing Zhengyang's expression became even uglier.

The hidden danger of deficit in his childhood had always been a source of hatred in his heart, and the other party revealed the reason for his "money-making".

Qing Zhengyang was suddenly filled with anger. He pursed his lips, his blood roared, and his fists turned red.

A heavy punch that created a sonic boom hit Anle straight at him.

Facing Qing Zhengyang's attack, Anle smiled slightly and did not move at all.

But Qing Zhengyang's face was filled with horror. The energy and blood in his body suddenly stopped and began to riot uncontrollably. He felt a flash before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, he had already fallen to the ground.

Many passers-by nearby cast curious glances.

Qing Zhengyang stood up quickly, looking at Anle's face which turned pale and blue, his eyes full of shock: "Who are you, sir?"

Just at that moment, he sensed an extremely vast energy and blood from the other party.

If Qing Zhengyang's total energy and blood were a torch, then Anle... would be like a bright sun!

Qing Zhengyang took the initiative to stimulate the blood and qi to attack, but it was like hitting a rock with an egg, and even he himself suffered backlash.

Anle smiled slightly: "I'm just a practitioner passing by."

Hai Yuqing had expected this outcome and said, "Zhengyang, should you feel relieved now?"

"Speaking of which, who is that old immortal Wuxu? Could you tell me about it?"

Qing Zhengyang looked at Anle with lingering fear, thinking in his heart: "First it was the old immortal Wuxu, and now it's Lu Bin, where did all these powerful people in Baoqi County come from?"

******

A few days later.

Hai Yuqing took office smoothly and sat in the county government office.

It is said that a new official will start with three major reforms upon taking office. However, Hai Yuqing did not start with drastic reforms right away. Instead, he first asked someone to get the land registers and account books from the county government, and read and proofread them carefully. He also often went to the villages under Baoqi County to conduct field investigations.

From the surface, Hai Yuqing's actions were lukewarm and not much different from those of the previous county magistrate.

Many people who were nervous about Hai Yuqing's arrival couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that he had given up struggling and decided to go with the flow and no longer be an honest official.

Some people even prepared to send gifts as a test.

Anle was happy to have a leisurely life. He was only responsible for protecting Hai Yuqing's safety and he didn't need to get involved in the county's affairs.

Under the current circumstances, Hai Yuqing does not need his personal protection all day long, so he still has his own free time every day.

Anle was originally worried that the people from the Zhenling Division would come looking for him.

But no trace of them was found either in deduction or in reality.

Anle suspected that although Li Yunshen had managed to escape with the help of his snake-like ability after being beaten so badly, he was probably seriously injured and was unable to free up his hands for a while.

Hai Yuqing also told Anle that he didn't need to worry too much about the Zhenling Division for the time being, as perhaps he had used his past relationships to do something.

Anle successfully obtained the map of the area near the Datai Divine Dynasty from Hai Yuqing, but it still did not record the boundary between the Divine Dynasty and Taixu Palace.

This means that the distance between Qingzhou and Taixu Palace is probably farther than he expected!

After knowing this, Anle was no longer so anxious and decided that it was more important to restore his own strength first.

Taking advantage of this period of peace, Anle constantly used the blood marrow crystal to replenish the qi and blood in his body, and taught Yin Yu and his sister at the same time.

For convenience, Anle brought Yin Yu and the others to the county town.

Of course, he had already moved all the blood marrow crystals in the magic circle into the Qinghong Jade Palace.

Anle also found an abandoned Taoist temple on a hill outside the county town and let them live there temporarily.

Now, Anle no longer needs to promote itself.

If the young masters and young ladies of the landlords in the county wanted to seek his treatment, they had to come to the Taoist temple in person to climb the mountain and visit him.

******

Late at night.

A dilapidated Taoist temple.

A huge piece of blood crystal in Anle's hand gradually became dim, and the blood and energy in it dried up, turning into countless fragments.

"call……"

Anle exhaled deeply and opened his eyes slightly.

A cold light seemed to flash in the dark space, even the shadows were cut apart.

After so many days of rest, and with the intake of countless blood marrow crystals and medicinal herbs, Anle's injuries were finally healed.

Both the physical body and spiritual power are in the best condition, and the spirit has reached its peak.

Although his realm has not changed, Anle feels that his strength has improved several levels compared to before he was sucked into the void.

The transformation of body and spirit from destruction to reconstruction.

The spiritual consciousness is enhanced by the [Ten Immovable Stages].

Of course, the most important thing is...

"Void Demon Armor!"

Anle's mind moved.

The handsome man in green clothes in the last second was covered in a layer of deep living thing that seemed real and illusory in the next second.

It is difficult to describe the form of this creature using ordinary language.

It is like a flowing, nourishing liquid, but can also transform into something stronger than steel in the blink of an eye.

At first glance, it seems ordinary, just a layer of armor made of special material.

Upon closer inspection, countless tiny tentacles were twisting and wriggling vividly, as if a terrifying beast was about to emerge from them at any time.

What is most fascinating is its color.

It is a color that is different from any color and transcends all colors, entangled and growing.

If you stare at it for a long time, your soul will seem to transcend reality, crossing the end of the Milky Way and spanning the vicissitudes of the universe in one breath.

Endless light and shadows flashed by, and what finally appeared before the eyes was an abyss that was beyond the imagination of all life.

It was boundless...so deep that it could not be understood or described.

“This feels… great!”

Anle was wearing magic armor and felt that he was stronger than ever before. With a slight clench of his hands, he could open a passage to the void.

Of course, he still resisted the urge.

Although the ability of "Grip of the Void" is powerful, it also has significant limitations.

Before Anle recovered, it could only be used once a day. And when it reached its peak, it could only be used twice a day.

Moreover, the invasion of the void seems to have irreversible impact on the real world.

Therefore, Anle would not use this killer move unless he had no other choice.

The complete Void Demon Armor also brings other benefits.

Anle took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into thin air. About two seconds later, he walked out again.

He named this transformation "Void Walking".

As the name suggests, the current happiness can temporarily escape into the void.

The power of this ability was so strong that even Anle himself was secretly shocked.

No matter how powerful the attack is, if it fails to hit the target, it is almost as good as non-existence.

Within these two seconds, Anle will not be harmed by any attack from the real world, which can be called a life-saving skill.

Of course, like [Grip the Void], [Walking in the Void] also has great limitations.

That is, you must not stay in the void for too long!

Not to mention whether the body can withstand such a strange environment, if you stay there for too long, it is easy to lose the coordinates of the real world and be trapped in the void forever.

Anle clenched his fists and thought to himself.

"Now, even if I face a Nascent Soul cultivator, I can at least delay him for a while."

Anle’s attempts go far beyond this.

Soon, Anle took off the magic armor.

But next to him, a deep human-shaped existence appeared, formed entirely by a tangle of strange tentacles, with only emptiness at the core.

"It really works!"

Anle nodded and muttered to himself: "Since you are made of magic armor, I will call you... Demon Shadow!"

He casually put a dark yellow robe on the demon shadow.

In this way, this figure looked exactly the same as him in his usual state of Wuxu Old Immortal.

Anle was able to multitask and easily control the demon's body to move. He moved freely, as if it were another body of his. There was no sense of difficulty between his consciousness and his body.

"This is a bit like... an incarnation?"
