Chapter 177 Old Man Zhou: It’s great that kid Qi can reach the middle stage of Qi Refining!

This is a very dilapidated house. The furniture inside has long since rotted away. There are rotten cobwebs all over the house, and even spiders and mosquitoes no longer visit.

It had obviously not been inhabited for many years.

Qi Ping was not surprised by this.

Because he had originally instructed Old Man Zhou to find a deep mountain or forest to hide in the mortal world, and not to tell anyone the exact location.

At that time, I was mainly afraid that I would cause trouble and implicate Old Man Zhou.

As a result, Qi Ping did not cause any trouble, but this action instead brought trouble upon himself.

However, Qi Ping was not too worried about this.

This may be a troublesome thing for other cultivators, but it is not that difficult for Qi Ping.

Qi Ping was seen coming into the forest and releasing tens of thousands of bees.

"Search carefully within a hundred miles to find the trace of Old Man Zhou!"

Following Qi Ping's order, tens of thousands of late-stage first-order bees and many second-order bees immediately moved.

However, this search was not as easy as Qi Ping had imagined. After a whole night, there was still no trace of Old Man Zhou.

"Could something have happened?"

Qi Ping gradually began to feel worried.

Fortunately, when the sun was high in the sky and approaching noon, Qi Ping finally received the news that Old Man Zhou had been found.

"My goodness, this old man is hiding too deeply!"

After learning the exact location of Old Man Zhou, Qi Ping couldn't help but admire him. To be able to hide so deeply, this old man must have some skills.

But finally found it, Qi Ping also put aside some of his worries.

Then Qi Ping's figure flashed and he quickly found the place where Old Man Zhou was.

At the foot of an inconspicuous hill, I saw Old Man Zhou carefully tending to a field of flowers.

On the blooming flowers, there are tiny green bees flying around, covered with a thick layer of fresh nectar.

"Are you tired of this and are raising bees again?"

"I guess I can't stand it any longer!"

However, Qi Ping did not disturb Old Man Zhou here, but turned around and came to Old Man Zhou's yard.

However, after arriving at this courtyard, Qi Ping couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the courtyard which had the same specifications as before.

Old man Zhou actually replicated a courtyard that was similar to the house in the Yunwu Mountains. Even the positions of the table and the lounge chair were somewhat similar.

Qi Ping didn't hesitate to sit down, took a teacup and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Berry wine, hawthorn, and mulberry. It tastes pretty good!"

Qi Ping, who hadn't eaten these things for a long time, suddenly felt hungry after eating them.

So he drank one cup after another.

In a short while, he finished the whole pot of wine.

However, Qi Ping was not satisfied with this, but moved out another large jar from a corner.

Only after Qi Ping had almost finished the large jar of wine that Old Man Zhou treasured did Old Man Zhou come back panting, wearing a straw hat.

But as soon as he entered the door, he saw a familiar figure.

"Qi boy? How did you find it?"

But before he could finish his words, he saw the empty big jar next to Qi Ping.

Isn't that the fine wine he treasured? How did Qi Ping bring it out?
So he hurried forward to take a look, and when he saw the empty jar, he suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

This was such good wine that he was reluctant to even take a few sips of it, but when this kid Qi Ping came, he drank it all up.

How can old man Zhou, who loves wine, remain calm?

"You kid, you've already consumed all my precious wine collection? Are you asking for a beating?" Old Man Zhou said in a serious tone. "Hey, aren't you thirsty?" Qi Ping responded in an innocent tone.

Old Man Zhou looked at Qi Ping like this, but he didn't really mean to blame him. Instead, seeing Qi Ping arrive here safely, the worry that had been weighing on his mind was finally put at ease.

Instead, he asked:
"Is the chaos in Qingshi County over? How are the others doing?"

Having stayed here for so long, Old Man Zhou naturally wanted to know some news about his friends.

Facing Old Man Zhou's question, Qi Ping shook his head and said:

"Now is the most chaotic time in Qingshi County. Several major sects are fighting each other. Countless Qi Refining cultivators have been killed or injured, and more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators have died."

"More than a year ago, the three major families started a civil war under the instigation of the Qingyuan Sect's hostile sect, killing people and leaving mountains of corpses and rivers of blood."

Then Qi Ping told some more news he knew.

Skinny Li Peng disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown.

What Meng Shanshan had been relying on was not a powerful figure, but a demon cultivator disguised as a sect disciple. After his cultivation was drained away, he went mad and now it is unknown whether he is alive or dead.

Wang Shan survived within the three major families and reaped many benefits.

As for Sister Nan, she hid deep in the Cloudy Mountains and had already broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining not long ago.
When Qi Ping told Old Man Zhou the news one by one, Old Man Zhou was completely stunned.

The news Qi Ping said was too shocking!

One after another, he almost got his heart pumping with fear.

No matter how bad he is, he cannot remain indifferent to the place where he has lived for nearly a hundred years.

He thought this might be terrible, but he could never imagine it to be this terrible.

Fortunately, his old friends Wang Shan and Sister Nan, who had a good relationship with him, are doing well.

It seems that Wang Shan has earned some capital for his children to cultivate immortality.

Old Man Zhou was also quite surprised that Sister Nan had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. One could only say that Sister Nan was very blessed!

For a kid like Qi Ping, it's already very good to be able to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining. He would be very lucky if he could reach the late stage of Qi Refining in this lifetime.

As for Qi Ping, Old Man Zhou never thought of letting him achieve anything successful. He just wanted him to live a stable, simple and happy life.

When Old Man Zhou heard the news that Old Man Meng's daughter Meng Shanshan was abducted by an evil cultivator and had her cultivation drained away, he felt a little sad.

After all, he had watched this girl grow up, but now she has ended up like this.
How nice it would have been if he had agreed to be with Qi Ping at the beginning. He remembered that Qi Ping had also contracted a golden marrow bee. If the two of them could raise both the black bees and the golden marrow bees well, they would live a happy life!

Old man Zhou was not too worried about Li Peng's words. This guy must have found some connections behind the scenes and was hiding!
"Alas, the world is unpredictable!"

All the emotions in Old Man Zhou's heart, who had been shocked for a long time, finally turned into a sigh.

For a small person like him, it is already difficult to survive, so what can he control?
"Yes, the world is in chaos and it's not easy to survive!"

"So are you planning to stay in the mortal world for a while this time?" Old Man Zhou asked casually.

He knew Qi Ping's character. If Qingshi County was so dangerous, Qi Ping would definitely not risk staying there without being sure.

"I'm here to take you back to Qingshi County!"

"Qingshi County is really too dangerous now, huh? What did you say? Go back?" Old Man Zhou looked at Qi Ping in shock.

Did he suspect he had heard it wrong?
In this situation, Qi Ping should not even have time to hide, so why would he want to go back?

"Yes," Qi Ping replied affirmatively, "The environment in the mortal world is too bad. If you continue like this, your life will be shortened!"

So that's how it is! He said why would Qi Ping want to go back!

"Qi boy, you don't have to worry about me. I can still hold on. Qingshi County is so dangerous now. There is no need to take the risk of going back."

But Old Man Zhou stopped talking halfway through.

What's going on with this aura?

He stared at Qi Ping in shock with wide eyes.

“Building a foundation!?”
