Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 208: Retreat 2

Zhen Yuan smiled when he heard this.

However, he soon shook his head and looked at Shen Xu with a solemn expression.

"I am not a furnace physique but..."

"But?"

"Xiaoxu, I think your physique will break out soon."

Shen Xu sighed.

He had felt some changes in himself but still hoped it had nothing to do with his physique.

"The book Shen Xu had a divine fire root and was a natural furnace. I hoped my destiny would change when I awakened the chaos fire root but it seems I can’t escape that fate."

Anyone with an extremely pure spiritual root could awaken a natural physique.

At its most ordinary, a natural physique only improved a cultivator’s qualifications and cultivation spend.

However, the physique could further evolve to become a furnace.

Compared to an ordinary natural physique, a natural furnace physique was five to ten times more talented.

Unfortunately, few cultivators with a natural furnace physique lived to realise their potential.

That said, natural bodies and even natural furnaces were the least extraordinary among special physiques.

Five elements body, extreme yin physique, extreme yang body, ice marrow physique, nine suns physique and others were several times better than natural physiques.

Still, these physiques had nothing on the chaos fire physique.

When the space upgraded, Shen Xu received a lot of knowledge about the space and cultivation.

Among this knowledge was information about the chaos fire physique.

According to the knowledge, chaos fire was inclusive and contained all elements.

As a result, all cultivators could benefit from double cultivating with a chaos fire physique cultivator.

When Shen Xu thought he would soon become a piece of fat meat in the eyes of most cultivators, he couldn’t help but be frightened.

"Don’t be afraid. I am here." Zhen Yuan said, tightening his arms around the double.

"I..." Shen Xu started but soon stopped.

"Brother Yuan, you are possibly the only cultivator who won’t covet my body." He said.

After all, Zhen Yuan didn’t follow the common path.

With his cultivation method, did he still need the chaos fire physique?

However, Zhen Yuan didn’t think so.

"Xiaoxu, aren’t you mistaken about something?" Zhen Yuan asked and a trace of desire flashed in his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"I am probably the person who covets your body the most." He said and pounced on the double.

Soon after, the two forgot the serious business and enjoyed themselves for three more days.

On the fourth day, they left their room and walked to the library.

"Brother Yuan, we still have more than eight hundred years before we have to leave the space. What’s your plan?"

"I am still studying level five talismans, formations, and inscriptions. I plan to perfect my mastery at this level before refining the lightning liquid. What about you?"

"I also plan to study." Shen Xu said and quickly continued.

"Brother Yuan, I want to be a level six alchemist and weapon refiner before we come out of seclusion."

"I don’t think we have a lot of level six spirit grasses and refining materials. Will it be okay to just rely on the simulation room?"

"What else can I do?" Shen Xu sighed.

The Tianqi continent was richer than the Canglan continent.

However, it also had its limitations.

Although it didn’t lack level four and five resources, level six and seven resources were pitifully few.

"The Yunshan secret realm has no shortage of level six spirit grasses and ores. Maybe we can do good business in the secret realm" Shen Xu said with a yearning look.

"Are you so looking forward to the Yunshan secret realm?" Zhen Yuan asked and Shen Xu immediately nodded.

"Our counterattack begins in the Yunshan secret realm."

"Counterattack?"

"Didn’t we decide to steal the protagonist’s luck? We can begin by grabbing his resources in the Yunshan secret realm."

"Okay." Zhen Yuan didn’t argue. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Disregarding Xiao Weimin’s interest in Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan had always had a lukewarm attitude towards the main protagonist.

However, as his cultivation increased, he began having a bad feeling at the back of his mind.

Although Zhen Yuan didn’t know the details, he suddenly felt Shen Xu would never be safe as long as Xiao Weimin was around.

This feeling came out of nowhere but Zhen Yuan couldn’t ignore it.

Even if he could ignore it, he didn’t want to.

After all, Shen Xu was his beloved treasure.

How could he allow an inexplicable entanglement to threaten the double’s life and fate?

Zhen Yuan couldn’t tolerate this and for that reason, Xiao Weimin had to die.

When they arrived in the library, the two took their usual seat and began studying.

Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhen Yuan stood, smiled at Shen Xu and went to the simulation room.

In the following thirty years, Zhen Yuan simulated formations, followed by talismans and finally inscriptions.

After reaching the peak of level five mastery, Zhen Yuan left the simulation room and returned to the library.

As it happened, the double was taking a break from his studies.

"Xiaoxu." Zhen Yuan called with a happy smile.

"Are you out?" Shen Xu stood and trotted towards the man.

"I am out. How is your progress?"

"I still need a few more years to master my inheritance and the relevant knowledge in the library. "

Take your time."

"I know." Shen Xu smiled, pulled the man closer and bit his lips.

Zhen Yuan was immediately provoked.

Without a word, he captured the double’s lips and kissed him.

Soon after, the two fell on the library sofa and didn’t leave the room for three months.

"Your cultivation seems to have completely stabilised." Zhen Yuan commented as the two lay on the sofa.

"It has stabilised." Shen Xu said with a conflicted expression.

"What’s wrong?"

"Do you think I should retreat first and then continue to study when I advance to the peak stage of the nascent soul realm?"

"Everything depends on you. What do you feel?"

Shen Xu didn’t answer right away.

Instead, he closed his eyes and seriously thought about it.

An incense stick later, he looked at Zhen Yuan with a firm expression.

"I think I will continue studying and then retreat." He said.

Although doing things in that order seemed like a waste of time, Shen Xu felt his current mental state was not enough to advance.

Knowing that, he decided to continue studying and hopefully cultivate his state of mind in the following decades.

"I will support you no matter what you decide." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing his wife’s hair.

"What about you? Are you going to retreat?"

"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."

The two separated after that.

Shen Xu stayed in the library and Zhen Yuan went to his training room.

Twenty years later, Zhen Yuan put away his tools and closed his eyes to retreat.

This retreat lasted six hundred years.

Although the time was long, the benefits were realm.

First, Zhen Yuan’s cultivation rose from the early stage of the spirit transformation realm to the late stage.

Most importantly, he gained a deeper understanding of the law of space

Because of this, Zhen Yuan no longer needed to wield the law scripting brush to unleash his domain.

When he opened his eyes, the man looked at the door with a longing face.

’I want to see Xiaoxu.’ He thought and hastily stood.

A moment later, he left the room and went to the library.

Unfortunately, Shen Xu was already in seclusion and the two missed each other.

"I don’t know how long he will be in seclusion..." He muttered but regained his spirit after lingering around for a few days.

’Xiaoxu should already be a level six alchemist, weapons refiner and spiritual chef. I can’t fall behind.’ He thought and began studying.

One hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

During the one hundred years, Zhen Yuan pushed his three masteries to the peak of level six.

However, Zhen Yuan was not satisfied with this result.

After all, they were in the Formation Tower City.

If possible, he wanted to conquer the formation tower before leaving the city.

Fortunately, in addition to improving his cultivation during the six hundred years of retreat, Zhen Yuan refined low grade soul marrow and advanced his soul power to the peak of level seven.

Since he had enough soul power, Zhen Yuan wanted to at least advance his formation skills to level seven before shifting his attention to body refining.

Peak stage level seven formation master...

Peak stage level seven body cultivation...

By the time Shen Xu came out of seclusion, the two only had eleven weeks to the end of their cave lease.

However, both were satisfied with the results of their retreat.

"I feel like I have never worked so hard." Shen Xu muttered as he walked out of his training room.
