Instead, he took Zhen Yuan's arm and led him towards the spiritual water lake in the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to put the spirit stones you gave me into the lake. Is it okay?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can do whatever you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Zhen Yuan did some mental calculations and figured out the number of spirit stones in his storage bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still have nine thousand spirit stones. We can put them in the lake.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that okay? What about our travel expenses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry. Blue Spring town is not far from Blue Deer village. We will sell talismans when we get there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of talismans, Zhen Yuan remembered he didn't put any in the storage bag he gave to Shen Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they were Taoist companions, he couldn't be stingy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to make sure that Shen Xu had adequate means to protect himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take this first.\" He said and took out three hundred talismans from his storage bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the three hundred, two hundred and fifty were level one talismans, forty were level two, and the remaining ten were level three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Shen Xu did not take them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, he was only a qi refining realm cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if his soul power was powerful, he couldn't activate level-three talismans or formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it this way, Shen Xu felt it was a waste to keep the level three talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they didn't have enough spirit stones, it was best to sell the talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Zhen Yuan was not going anywhere. When the time came, he would draw more talismans for Shen Xu to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, but take more level two talismans.\" Zhen Yuan said after listening to Shen Xu's rationale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Shen Xu's agreement, he took the level three talismans and replaced them with sixty level two talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On second thought, he added five formation disks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All are level two formation disks. Three are protective formations, and the remaining are attack formations.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't need...\" Shen Xu started, but Zhen Yuan didn't want to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed the things in Shen Xu's hands, and the double had no choice but to put them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Shen Xu felt that having so many talismans was unnecessary, his heart was sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He liked that Zhen Yuan thought about his safety and didn't think twice about sharing his things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\" He finally said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't need that between us.\" Zhen Yuan said and rubbed the other's hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, they continued toward the lake and stopped at its bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The spiritual aura in the space comes from this lake.\" Shen Xu said and looked at the clear water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't see anything special about the water, but he knew it was rich in qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to take a sip before we add spirit stones?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen Yuan removed a cup from his storage bag and scooped some water from the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have a drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xu took the cup and had a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water was cool, and when it reached his stomach, the spiritual aura was quickly absorbed, and his body was refreshed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's so refreshing.\" He exclaimed and took another sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking half the water, he passed the cup to Zhen Yuan, and watched him in anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen Yuan did not disappoint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drank the remaining water, and his body was refreshed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Zhen Yuan was drinking, a thought crossed Shen Xu's mind and his brows furled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You comprehend laws instead of refining qi. Are spiritual water and spirit stones useful to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My cultivation level won't improve from absorbing spirit stones. However, I can still use spirit stones to replenish my qi and relieve fatigue.\" Zhen Yuan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have qi?\" Shen Xu was a little surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than answer, Zhen Yuan opened his hand, and a drop of clear qi appeared on his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drop was only the size of a tear, but it filled Shen Xu with profound awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like he was standing in front of something sacred and beyond his reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is all the qi in my body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can that be?\" Shen Xu was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a cultivator at the first level of the qi refining realm had more than one drop of qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I comprehend laws, my understanding congeals into qi. So far, I have only managed to congeal this small drop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xu frowned, and thousands of thoughts crossed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to understand Zhen Yuan's cultivation, but the more he knew, the more confused he got.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a while, he finally settled on one question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is one drop enough to fight and do other things?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Zhen Yuan was also at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after experimenting, he discovered that the drop of qi was very vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If defined in terms of level one talismans, he could draw ten thousand talismans before exhausting the drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of level two talismans, he could draw one thousand and one hundred level three talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With regards to monsters, he would have to go all out with an early stage level three monster to exhaust his qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't a level three monster equivalent to a golden core realm cultivator?\" Shen Xu asked in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhen Yuan could fight a level three monster, it meant his cultivation was already in the golden core realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhen Yuan was only sixteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the age of sixteen, the absolute geniuses in the capital were only at the foundation establishment realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What a monster.' Shen Xu thought and stole a glance at Zhen Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing.\" Shen Xu answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his mind was running wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he interacted with Zhen Yuan, the more he felt that something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't understand why a character like him was not in the original book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't think too much.\" Zhen Yuan said and rubbed Shen Xu's hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\" Shen Xu said and forced himself to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he couldn't figure it out, he could only take things as they came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's add the spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't add yours. Keep them for your cultivation.\" Zhen Yuan quickly stopped Shen Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Shen Xu wanted to argue, he didn't have a chance. Zhen Yuan removed all the spirit stones in his storage bag and dropped them in the spiritual water lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the spirit stones fell into the water, the lake began to boil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It boiled for an incense stick of time, and when it finally stopped, the aura in the chaos flame space was a little richer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you feel it?\" Shen Xu asked excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's richer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen Yuan bent down and scooped another cup of spiritual water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed the cup to Shen Xu, and the other immediately took a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's indeed richer.\" Shen Xu said and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, his cultivation was already at the twelfth level of the qi refining realm. The only way to improve was to break through to the foundation establishment realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Shen Xu couldn't do this since he planned to abolish himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although you can't take advantage of it now, you will be able to in the future.\" Zhen Yuan soothed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not a waste either way. Richer spiritual aura is good for the spirit herbs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right.\" Shen Xu agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were talking and walking, Xiaoren planted many seeds on the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the increase in aura, most of the seeds had sprouted. The red soil was now covered by a layer of green, which made the space look more vibrant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhen Yuan, you should spend more time in the space to comprehend the laws here.\" Shen Xu suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The laws in this space are too profound. I need a deeper foundation before I can think about them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xu didn't quite understand, but he didn't ask more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were married, he didn't need to learn everything all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they continued to get along, he would naturally get a firmer grasp of Zhen Yuan's cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, what he needed to do was learn alchemy. This would not only help him earn spirit stones but also help his Taoist companion with his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to go outside to rest?\" Zhen Yuan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xu thought about the hut that had a hole on the roof and quickly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. Let's stay in the space hut.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\" Zhen Yuan didn't insist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked to the bamboo hut and went straight to the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they entered the room, they realised there was only one bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xu looked at Zhen Yuan, and Zhen Yuan looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at each other for a long time but neither compromised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Shen Xu sighed and pulled Zhen Yuan towards the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's sleep together.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, the two removed their outer robes and left their inner robes as sleepwear.\u003C\u002Fp>",1555,"2026-06-06T02:30:15.614Z",1,"novelbin.me","5a2d7dcd7c19216ae945c17a974a157d7ce19f9eb99556aab92ff182b5c6dfbb","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-10","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-8",498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffalling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-cover.jpg"]
