Are you going to retreat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet. I have studied and simulated but I haven’t practised using real materials. I plan to draw talismans, engrave formations, and draw inscriptions for the next twenty years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two separated after that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xu stayed in the library and Zhen Yuan went to his training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty years later, Zhen Yuan put away his tools and closed his eyes to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This retreat lasted six hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the time was long, the benefits were realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Zhen Yuan’s cultivation rose from the early stage of the spirit transformation realm to the late stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, he gained a deeper understanding of the law of space\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, Zhen Yuan no longer needed to wield the law scripting brush to unleash his domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes, the man looked at the door with a longing face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I want to see Xiaoxu.’ He thought and hastily stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he left the room and went to the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Shen Xu was already in seclusion and the two missed each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know how long he will be in seclusion...\" He muttered but regained his spirit after lingering around for a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Xiaoxu should already be a level six alchemist, weapons refiner and spiritual chef.
