Chapter 596: Retreat

After "Lü Xin" and the members of the organization agreed on what to do next, on the second day, he gathered all the "hungry ghosts" from "A Small Courtyard" in the main hall again, and solemnly announced that his injuries had almost healed, and he planned to retreat to digest the good fortune he got in the fierce ghost forest.

After "Lü Xin" announced this news, the expressions of the three hungry ghosts sent by Ghost Hou Jiang changed obviously. Obviously, "Lü Xin" was going to retreat, so there was nothing for them to do. "Lü Xin" saw all this, but he remained calm and only secretly laughed.

After saying that he was going to retreat, "Lü Xin" then legitimately handed over the management rights of "A Small Courtyard" to Liu Jian, and repeatedly told him to take good care of the internal affairs of the mansion, and constantly told the other "hungry ghosts" to assist Liu Jian well.

At the same time, "Lü Xin" also gave Liu Jian a task, hoping that Liu Jian could recruit all the staff in the mansion during the months of his retreat, so that "a small courtyard" could truly become a well-deserved mansion in the inner ring.

Liu Jian naturally agreed, and agreed very seriously, just like a soldier receiving a military order. At the same time, he turned around and shouted a few words to the other "hungry ghosts", as if he was expressing his loyalty to "Lü Xin" before his retreat.

Finally, "Lü Xin" took out a list from his arms, but did not give it to the "hungry ghost" transformed by the organization members, but to one of the real hungry ghosts sent by Gui Hou Jiang.

This is a list of materials, with many small characters written on it. If you count them carefully, I'm afraid it will be no less than a few thousand words. So many words represent hundreds or even thousands of materials. Some of these materials are ordinary, some are precious, and they are different. There is no law or connection between them, and it is unclear what the "Lü Xin" is looking for these things for.

"Go and get these things for me. You don't need too much, just a little bit of each will do, but make sure you have them all. Three days later, I want to see everything listed on the list before I go into seclusion." "Lü Xin" pulled the hungry ghost who took the list closer and said this mysteriously.

The reason why "Lü Xin" gave this list to the hungry ghost sent by Ghost Marquis Jiang was naturally because he knew that to get these things, I'm afraid only the Jiang family had the ability, so in fact "Lü Xin" just wanted this hungry ghost to go back to his old master.

As for the things on the list, they were naturally what "Lü Xin" really needed during his seclusion. However, they were too messy, and even with Ghost Marquis Jiang's eyesight, he would definitely not be able to see what effect these things mixed together would have.

After the matter was completely settled, 8 began to handle it one by one. The next day, Liu Jian began to gather all the "hungry ghosts" and pretended to discuss what positions were missing in the mansion, as if he was brainstorming, but in fact he was slowly listing the more than 100 positions mentioned by "Lu Xin" one by one.

And the hungry ghost sent by "Lu Xin" to find materials also left the next day. First, he felt that "Lu Xin" wanted too many things and was too urgent, and was afraid that his old master could not get them, so he was a little anxious. Secondly, he naturally rushed back to inform his old master that "Lu Xin" was going to retreat, so that the old master could see what the mess of things "Lu Xin" wanted was for, and what "Lu Xin" was doing.

"Lu Xin" didn't know whether Gui Houjiang had discovered any clues. However, a few days later, before he was ready to retreat, he saw a storage bag as he wished, which contained everything he needed. There were a total of 996 kinds of these things, which were materials that he felt Gui Houjiang could get after observing for these days and that he could also use.

Without saying anything, "Lu Xin" entered the backyard secret room after getting what he wanted and began to retreat.

The secret room in the backyard was not deliberately built by "Lu Xin", but it was common to build secret rooms in Taoist mansions. Not to mention Gui Houjiang, Tietou also understood this. In fact, there are a total of 16 secret rooms of various sizes in "A Small Courtyard", and the backyard secret room that "Lu Xin" chose at this moment is undoubtedly the largest and best sealed one, which is the main secret room of "A Small Courtyard".

"Lu Xin" had observed before that the secret room in the backyard did not add any weird mechanisms or spying methods. From this point of view, Gui Houjiang and Tietou were quite shrewd in doing things, knowing that if they were found out, they would inevitably tear their faces apart.

The sealed conditions of the backyard secret room are really excellent. "Lu Xin" feels that even if he practices the Emperor Sword in it, as long as he doesn't blast the secret room open with one sword, even if he makes some sharp sword intentions, he can't rush out of the secret room, let alone be discovered by any outsider. From this point of view, such a secret room is completely in line with the construction standards of the mansions of the ghost domain.

Shortly after the retreat began, "Lu Xin" confirmed that he would not be disturbed in any case, and his secrets would not be discovered by any outsiders, so he completely relaxed and gradually entered a quiet and ethereal state.

What to do in retreat, "Lu Xin" actually thought about it a long time ago. For him, there are too many Taoist methods to practice now, and too many things for him to digest. The sea of ​​Taoism is endless, and he has a particularly deep understanding of this sentence.

For example, the art of descending spirits, which was passed down from the beast mother, is profound and has unimaginable power. For this art alone, if "Lu Xin" wants to achieve a little success in it, he thinks it is not too much to retreat for decades or even a hundred years. Naturally, it is precisely because the art of descending spirits is not easy to practice, so this time "Lu Xin" did not intend to try to practice descending spirits specifically.

In his opinion, he may not be able to practice descending spirits in peace in the ghost domain at present, and can only accumulate gradually on weekdays to make some small progress in descending spirits. And when he leaves the ghost domain and helps Xue Buping find the demon body, he will probably take a long time to retreat and think about why it is said that "the way of animals is all false".

There are two things that "Lu Xin" really intends to do in this retreat. One is naturally to continue to let go of his obsession with the "Infinite Earth Sutra". This is particularly important to him, because his retreat this time may be directly half a year or even longer, which means that he will go to the Heart Island after he comes out of retreat. If he hadn't let go of his obsession with the "Infinite Earth Sutra" by then, it would be impossible for him to approach the Ghost King Palace, and some of his original plans might not be able to continue.

Another thing that "Lu Xin" wanted to do was to strengthen the earth fire that he had created after he realized the true source of fire. In fact, he had wanted to do this a long time ago. After all, he wanted to enter the earth cultivation realm with the way of fire, but if the earth fire could not be fully developed, then his idea would never be realized.

More importantly, the current "Lu Xin" already has the conditions to cultivate the earth fire to full success. First, his cultivation has reached the realm of life and death, and second, this time he just asked Gui Houjiang for a bunch of seemingly messy and irregular materials. With these two conditions, according to his understanding of fire, it is not difficult to achieve the earth fire!

With a slight wave of his right hand, "Lu Xin" in a white robe poured out everything in a storage bag. In the blink of an eye, all kinds of dense materials floated in the air, completely surrounding "Lu Xin" in the middle.

Looking at these chaotic things that suddenly appeared, and feeling the chaotic atmosphere around him, "Lu Xin" nodded with satisfaction, and said to himself: "I didn't expect Gui Houjiang to be so capable. There are many strange things in my list, and he really found them all for me, and the quantity is so sufficient, not bad, not bad."

Only "Lu Xin" himself knows what these seemingly chaotic things are used for. Only he knows that these things are not chaotic. As long as they are used correctly according to his understanding, powerful earth fire can be born.

"The underground fire originated from deep underground in the human world. It is deeply influenced by the land, but it is not the land itself. Therefore, the underground fire has the essence of fire, but also has many properties like soil."

"What are the properties of soil? For the underground fire, it is naturally not just the soil property itself, but also the properties of the messy things mixed in the soil. The properties of these things are irregular, chaotic, and sometimes there are none. Not to mention that many cultivators in hell have never seen the soil in the human world, even if I have seen it, I want to simulate it completely, and I have to spend a lot of effort and thought."

"But fortunately, now I have the help of Ghost Hou Jiang, who has found all the things for me. I want to strengthen the underground fire successfully. It is almost halfway done. His Jiang family is really a blessed place for me. I am afraid that the biggest benefit I have gained from entering the ghost domain this time is his Jiang family." While feeling a little funny, "Lu Xin" opened his mouth and spit out a small earthy yellow flame in front of him.
