"Damn it, why has my true qi disappeared!"
"I've tried every method, why is it still not working!"
"Have I really transformed into an ordinary person like this?"
In the Lu family's room, Zhou Xuan, who had been sitting by the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He muttered to himself with a gloomy expression.
In the past hour or so, he had tried every method.
Attempting to awaken or mobilize the true qi within his body.
But the result was like a stone sinking into the sea!
His body showed no changes, and the true qi that had previously surged within him was now completely undetectable.
This made Zhou Xuan, who was already anxious and upset, even more despairing.
He feared that if he couldn't solve this problem, he would be like this for the rest of his life.
Becoming an ordinary person, unable to cultivate again.
If that were the case, it would be even more unbearable than killing him!
"No, I can't give up like this!"
"I still have the Zhou family's blood feud to avenge!"
"I still have the person I love to protect!"
"The Zhou family's heirloom is also waiting for me to retrieve it!"
"I absolutely cannot be defeated by this difficulty!"
"But I've tried all the methods!"
"Even if I don't want to give up, how can I break this stalemate?"
After cheering himself up slightly, Zhou Xuan began to consider how to break the deadlock.
But after thinking about it, he realized that he had tried all the methods that could be tried.
None of them were effective!
Just as Zhou Xuan was feeling a bit lost, his gaze inadvertently fell upon the ring on his left hand.
"That's right!"
"The ancestor is a Flying Ascension realm expert!"
"Perhaps he can see my current situation and give me correct guidance!"
"I'm such an idiot!"
"Holding such a great treasure, yet not knowing how to use it!"
With this thought, the look of confusion on Zhou Xuan's face immediately vanished.
But just as he was about to enter the Void Ring to seek guidance from his ancestor for breaking the deadlock.
He discovered a very serious problem.
That is, he usually entered the Void Ring with the guidance of true qi.
Now that his own true qi was gone, he couldn't even enter the Void Ring!
"No, I can't give up now that I've finally found a direction!"
"Since I can't enter the Void Ring myself, I'll find a way to have the ancestor take me in!"
"Didn't the ancestor rescue Ling'er before without my guidance?"
"But how can I try to call out to the ancestor and make him understand my current predicament?"
"Should I just call out to him directly?"
"Descendant of the Zhou family, Zhou Xuan!"
"Currently in dire straits, I implore ancestor Zhou Sheng Long to render assistance!"
No sooner said than done, Zhou Xuan immediately knelt on both knees, bringing the Void Ring before him.
Then, he respectfully kowtowed to the Void Ring in front of him with utmost sincerity.
However, after waiting for a moment, Zhou Xuan found that the Void Ring in front of him showed no reaction.
Just when he thought his method was useless, the Void Ring suddenly emitted a blinding light.
Then Zhou Xuan felt the entire world spinning.
A moment later, he found himself in that familiar space.
"Kid, I already know about your situation!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have been drugged!"
"Otherwise, true qi wouldn't just disappear for no reason!"
"Think carefully, has anything unusual happened recently!"
As soon as Zhou Xuan arrived in the Void Ring space, Zhou Sheng Long's figure slowly appeared before him.
Seeing Zhou Xuan's slightly confused look, Zhou Sheng Long prompted him.
"Unusual phenomenon?"
"My life has been quite normal recently, I haven't encountered any abnormal situations!"
"Drugged?"
"But no one can get close to me!"
"No!"
Halfway through his sentence, Zhou Xuan suddenly seemed to recall something.
"If I have to say anything unusual!"
"It's that a few days ago, I started feeling that my cultivation progress was getting slower and slower!"
"But I thought it was just my imagination then, so I didn't pay much attention!"
"Now that I think about it, the problem might have started from then!"
"Do you remember anything special that happened a few days ago?"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Zhou Sheng Long asked again.
"Something special?"
"Yes!"
"I remember now!"
"It's that starting a few days ago, Ling'er's uncle kept trying to set up dinners for all of us to eat together!"
"I found it a bit strange at the time!"
"But since he ate it himself, I didn't suspect anything further!"
"Now that I think about it, this is very likely a trap he specifically set for me!"
As he said this, Zhou Xuan's face suddenly turned grim.
Indeed, his previous suspicions about Lu Linxiao were not unfounded.
Zhou Xuan had found it strange before, how could someone whose son was killed be able to sit and dine with the enemy and talk and laugh so merrily!
Now it seemed, silent dogs bite.
His forbearance over these days was likely for this very situation!
"Since the ancestor can tell that I was drugged, which caused my true qi to disappear!"
"Does the ancestor have a way to break it?"
"Break it?"
"What's there to break!"
"Do you really think true qi is something that can be destroyed by external forces?"
"There are indeed some methods in this world that can temporarily make true qi disappear!"
"But these are not permanent!"
"Once a person cultivates true qi, it will accompany the cultivator throughout their life!"
"Unless the cultivator dies, true qi cannot dissipate!"
"You have lost your true qi now, but after a couple of days when the effect of the drug in your body dissipates!"
"Your true qi will naturally return!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's question, Zhou Sheng Long replied nonchalantly.
In Zhou Sheng Long's opinion, his descendant lacked common sense and was overly alarmed.
If it weren't for Zhou Xuan's formal demeanor just now, it wouldn't have been good for him not to respond at all.
Zhou Sheng Long actually didn't want to bother with him.
Because in Zhou Sheng Long's view, this was not a big deal at all!
"Not permanent?"
After hearing Zhou Sheng Long's explanation, Zhou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his strength had not yet recovered,
Knowing that the situation was only temporary eased his tension.
"It seems that as long as I act cautiously for the next two days!"
"Combined with the assistance of Black Tiger and Xie Fengyi, there shouldn't be too much of a problem!"
"Even if that Lu Linxiao really seizes this opportunity to make a move!"
"With two cultivators in the Shaping realm, he probably won't be able to cause much trouble!"
