Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel

Chapter 173 Painted skin as cocoon, new identity

The moment Chu Zheng crushed the chip, an abnormality was immediately discovered in the correctional center.

In the vast silver-white room, countless illusory light screens flashed with various information and data, and sharp sounds were heard from time to time.

drop--

Another sharp sound appeared, and a young woman cast her gaze. After scanning the information that emerged, she quickly came to a conclusion:

"No. 46-173, the chip was damaged, dug out and destroyed by force. More than 30% of the brain tissue was damaged. The survival rate is extremely low. Even if he survives, he will probably lose his mobility completely."

Not far away, an older man heard this and said indifferently: "Check, who took numbers 46-173 away?"

The woman lowered her head, then raised her head again after two breaths, with a hint of surprise in her expression: "It's...Miss Qi Hua."

Hearing the word Qi Hua, the man waved his hand and looked away:

"Don't worry about him. It's not easy to persist for more than two months before Miss Qi loses interest. Delete his file records."

"yes."

Many natives died every day, some died in correctional facilities, and even more died at the hands of buyers.

But no one will hold these indigenous people accountable. After all, indigenous creatures are not federal citizens.

The correctional center is just a place where pets are bought and sold and has no law enforcement power. What's more, there are no laws to protect these indigenous people.

In the lonely alloy fighting arena.

In front of the broken floor-to-ceiling window, Chu Zheng casually pulled the plush curtain aside and slowly wiped away the blood on his hands.

Without Qi Hua's permission, the maids outside would not enter the venue, so as not to disturb the young lady's interest.

But if the time is too long, the maids on the periphery will definitely check the situation in the arena, leaving Chu Zheng with little time.

Looking at the unrecognizable corpse in front of him, he pondered for a moment, turned around and returned to the fighting arena, followed the ascending passage of the iron cage, entered the underground, and came to the iron cage where Nie Longhu was imprisoned.

Nie Longhu sat cross-legged in the cage, motionless as a mountain, with an obvious calmness about his body, as calm as water, without any agitation, and performed the exercises slowly.

Even if Qi Hua did not die in the hands of Chu Zheng, when the immortal gathered enough strength, he might still be unable to escape death.

Sensing Chu Zheng's approach, Nie Longhu did not stop, but continued to move around the sky.

After a while, until the complete cycle was completed, he slowly opened his eyes.

Nie Longhu had noticed the aura fluctuations on Chu Zheng's body before. There was no surprise in his expression, and he spoke slowly: "Which Taoist master did you study under?"

"We are all under the sect of Tao Ancestor, how can we talk about the inheritance of teachers?"

Chu Zheng casually changed the subject and said bluntly:

"I killed Qi Hua and need to find a way to escape. Time is running out."

If you force your way out, you may have a chance to escape, but on this heaven-sent star, it is still difficult to move forward, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

Hearing this, Nie Longhu raised his eyebrows slightly: "You messed up my fate, and you broke some rules."

The act of killing Qi Hua will definitely bring greater trouble. He is likely to be implicated. Later, he will be angered by Qi Shanyong and be killed directly. It seems to be a predictable outcome.

It is not easy to go through the tribulation of incarnation. Even if he is an immortal, it will take several years to cultivate before he can start the next one.

To protect the immortals from calamity, the cultivation of this incarnation must reach at least the Hedao realm, which is barely enough.

If this incarnation dies too early, the calamity energy it can digest will be close to nothing. In the past few years, there is no telling what accidents will happen to his body.

The calamity of the Qi Refiners is often unpredictable. Even the most basic natural and man-made disasters cannot be distinguished, and they do not know where they will come from.

Chu Zheng naturally didn't know about the so-called rules, but he had no intention of asking.

He glanced at Nie Longhu lightly, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and said calmly:

"Then I'll pay you back now?"

Being both in the Jade Bone realm and having a repair panel in his body, Chu Zheng had no reason to be afraid even if he saw the incarnation of an immortal in front of him.

If Nie Longhu couldn't bear this calamity, his journey of incarnation and calamity would probably end early.

The moment Chu Zheng rolled up his sleeves, the corner of Nie Longhu's mouth twitched slightly. He noticed that the fluctuations of calamity energy around him began to surge. Chu Zheng had no intention of joking.

After a moment, he took a deep breath, as if he had made some great determination, and said slowly:

"Let me out, I have a way."

There was not much time left, so Chu Zheng opened the iron cage without asking any more questions and walked towards the ground first.

The two of them walked in tandem and soon came out of the underground and came to Qi Hua's body.

Looking at Qi Hua's body, Nie Longhu frowned slightly: "The demonic energy in this woman's body is even stronger. Even if you don't kill her, I'm afraid she won't live long."

After hearing what Nie Longhu said, Chu Zheng's eyes flashed slightly. Obviously, the immortal in front of him knew many secrets that he didn't know.

Before he could think deeply, a crackling sound suddenly came from Nie Longhu's body. His tall figure gradually shrank, and soon he became much shorter and slender.

Then, Nie Longhu slowly reached out his hand, slit Qi Hua's skin, tore off pieces of skin as thin as cicada wings, and pasted them on his body.

The moment the skin touched his body, in the blink of an eye, they stuck to each other and became one piece, as smooth as new.

Seeing Nie Longhu's actions, Chu Zheng immediately narrowed his eyes and murmured subconsciously:

"Painted skin..."

"Painted skin? This word does have some meaning. It's clear at a glance."

Nie Longhu heard Chu Zheng's whisper and explained:

"This is the method of the evil spirits in the world. If you fight with them from time to time, you will always make some progress. Working behind closed doors will only lead to death."

"So that's it..." Chu Zheng suddenly realized.

"You are indeed not a Qi practitioner from the Taoist sect."

Nie Longhu glanced at Chu Zheng and said calmly: "This is a magical power that all immortals must know. If you are a member of the Taoist sect, it is impossible not to know it. Moreover, you also know the name of the world. It seems that the forces behind it are also unknown. Simple."

For a moment, Chu Zheng couldn't help but be silent. Among the immortals who had survived for so long, there was no one like Yi Yu. In just a few words, Nie Longhu had already figured out a lot of information.

"I don't care what lineage you are from. They are all Qi practitioners. You should understand that cultivation is not easy."

Nie Longhu didn't say anything, and slowly pressed his face against Qi Hua's face. In an instant, there was no difference between him and Qi Hua, with a cunning and agile light in his eyes.

Even Chu Zheng couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was Qi Hua or not.

Looking at Qi Hua's broken head, Nie Longhu shook his head slightly, feeling a little pity:

"You wasted a pair of eyes worth a thousand dollars. Many things here need to be confirmed by a membrane in the eyes. It is difficult to simulate this thing to be exactly the same."

"Do you seem to know a lot about this place?" Chu Zheng couldn't help but be a little surprised. The immortal in front of him gave him too many surprises, and he didn't look like an old antique who had experienced thousands of lives.

"How can you live long if you follow the Romans and don't understand this world? After all your hard work, you have transformed your soul into a separate soul and come here. Is it possible that you just want to die?"

Nie Longhu whispered, and his eyes suddenly glanced at the door not far behind him.

Because this time it took a long time, several maids quietly stepped in to see the situation.

"Get out!" Nie Longhu suddenly shouted, his voice sharp and penetrating. It was exactly the same as Qi Hua's, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Several maids immediately retreated with panic on their faces, not daring to stay at all.

"Do you have a way to deal with the chip on the back of your head?" Chu Zheng retracted his thoughts and looked at the back of Nie Longhu's head.

Although the skin can be changed, the implanted chip is undoubtedly a time bomb.

"When I master the art of immortality by changing heads, I can break it with a snap of my fingers."

Nie Longhu obviously had nothing to do about this, but after being stunned for a moment, he suddenly reacted and narrowed his eyes:

"Do you have any idea?"

Since Chu Zheng can resist Qi Hua, the chip will definitely not be able to pose a threat to him.

Chu Zheng did not deny it, nodded slightly, pointed his sword, and stabbed Nie Longhu in the back of the head with lightning speed.

"It might hurt a little, please bear with it."
