Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 627 - 623: Punching and Kicking

After chatting for a while, Wu Gang walked over to Lu Ren with a cheeky smile and asked, "Didn't scare you just now, did we?"

Lu Ren smiled slightly, "You guys really surprised me. I never thought there would be hidden talents in this squad; I almost thought I was going to end up here."

These four, any one of them could easily take on dozens of Celestial Soldiers, who knows what they're hiding here for.

Wu Gang carelessly waved his hand and said, "In our squad, you'll get it after spending some time. We don't pursue any selfish gain; we've all become Immortal already, what's the point of doing so much show?"

Lu Ren glanced at the evil man who had already stopped breathing, sensing the dozen or so hidden presences in the canyon had quietly retreated without causing a stir.

Next, according to the established procedure, Liu Changfeng would report to the nearby Gouchen Hall, and someone would naturally handle the matter.

The few of them didn't continue patrolling; besides this matter, it was only natural to seek psychological comfort and take a rest.

It seems that everyone was accustomed to such affairs, and there wasn't much distress about it. After all, although the Three Realms are generally peaceful, there are still quite a few restless demons and heretics, and external enemies are a frequent occurrence.

Even though the Ziwei Emperor is stationed with heavy soldiers, there are always some who manage to get through various channels, paying the price to come over.

No one really paid much attention to this, as Wu Gang disdainfully said, "Definitely some traitor from the Three Realms colluding with outer demons, trying to sabotage. Seen plenty of these things."

Lu Ren likewise went with the flow, thinking he might try taking a bigger peach soon, and then look for opportunities to make a move.

After returning to his assigned small courtyard, Lu Ren didn't dawdle much; nearly half a year had passed, and the search intensity had somewhat lessened. But he knew this relaxation was only superficial.

If something catches attention again, the Queen Mother would definitely seize it.

Lu Ren wasn't falling for it, all he needed to do was quietly endure for a relatively long time, fully digest the Flat Peaches, and then arrive in the Journey to the West world, it would definitely be a huge gain.

After all, it's not him who's anxious now, but rather the Queen Mother. Since the longer time passes, the hope of retrieving the Flat Peaches becomes increasingly dim.

Maybe in the next dozen years, the patrol intensity will be raised by several levels.

"Actually, I think you should use these Flat Peaches for Alchemy, then the Spiritual Qi within them can be maximized."

Hearing Ao Li's words, Lu Ren continued chewing on a peach larger than his face, mumbling, "If I go collecting alchemy materials, I'll definitely be noticed immediately. Besides, I don't know how to do alchemy."

Ao Li snorted lightly, "I know how."

Lu Ren looked at Ao Li and spat, "Do you know what it's like to throw a meat bun at a dog?"

Ao Li was slightly stunned, then suddenly lunged at Lu Ren, trying to take a bite of the Flat Peach in Lu Ren's hand.

Lu Ren moved his hand away, Ao Li's teeth bit into the air, making a 'clang' sound.

"You're dreaming!"

After mocking mercilessly, Lu Ren slowly finished the peach in his hand, then casually said, "I beg you, trying to trick food and drink out of me, you're dreaming."

Ao Li angrily retorted, "How dare you! I gave you my body, what's wrong with taking a bit of food, you jerk! Plus, you can't finish them all, beyond a hundred they'll have no effect, you might as well hug those couple hundred peaches and rot away."

Lu Ren was speechless, eventually grabbing two face-sized peaches from above and stuffing them into Ao Li's face, stretching out his hand to pinch Ao Li's slightly chubby cheeks.

Ao Li slapped Lu Ren's hand away with a 'snap', shaking her face as she moved aside to carefully munch.

The Flat Peaches not only have great effects for Lu Ren, but also substantial benefits for Ao Li, who now has just a strand of True Spirit remaining.

After eating a peach last time, Lu Ren could feel her body becoming more tangible, the True Spirit gradually showing signs of Primordial Spirit.

Were it not for the inherent constraining power in Lu Ren's Inner Heaven and Earth Cosmos, she would have already be roaming freely.

After eating the peaches and leaving the Inner Heaven and Earth Cosmos, Lu Ren was ready to retreat to digest the Spiritual Qi of the Flat Peaches, when he suddenly saw a figure flip over the courtyard wall, rushing towards him with a dagger, shouting threateningly.

"Shut up if you don't want to die!"

Lu Ren's eyes flickered, reaching out to deflect the incoming dagger, then raised his fist.

The figure seemed to rush headfirst right on Lu Ren's fist.

Bang!

With a dull sound, the figure felt a sharp pain from his nose, and suddenly tears and snot flowed uncontrollably, the dagger swiping at the air before retreating staggeringly.

Upon seeing the person's face, Lu Ren raised his eyebrows, "Chenxiang?"

Chenxiang's gaze darkened, clutching his nearly broken nose glaring fiercely at him, "You know me?"

Lu Ren shook his head slightly, "I don't, please leave."

However, upon knowing that Lu Ren knew his name, Chenxiang seemed to fall into a certain frenzy, screaming and rushing towards Lu Ren.

Lu Ren casually lowered both his hands.

Crackling sounds!

A dull rumble echoed in the courtyard, followed by what looked like a ragged bag being thrown out from within, crashing heavily onto the ground.

The Celestial Soldiers and Generals chasing rapidly outside abruptly halted, staring dumbfounded at the unconscious figure.

"This, this should be Chenxiang, right?" one hesitantly asked.

Someone nearby swallowed, "Though it looks like a pig's head, there is indeed that familiar heroic spirit between the brows, hmm, the eye corners indeed bring a feeling of familiarity, alongside those clothes, it should fit."

The leading Celestial General then looked towards the courtyard, asking, "Anyone knows who resides here?"

One Celestial Soldier glanced around and replied, "This should be the Patrol Bureau, subordinate to the Spirit Official Hall, responsible for patrol defense within the Celestial Court's realm in the Celestial Realm."

"Patrol Bureau…"

The Celestial General's expression shifted slightly, but he didn't say much, just beckoned, "Take the offender Chenxiang away; put him in the Celestial Prison, await disposition."

The group of chasing Celestial Soldiers and Generals dragged Chenxiang away quickly, arriving in haste and departing in the same manner, without any hint of hesitation. From a certain perspective, they understood the complexity of these relationships and preferred not getting too involved.

Besides, they're from two different systems. The Patrol Bureau is akin to patrol police, they are the Military Department.

In the Patrol Bureau, everyone has connections and backgrounds, it's deep waters. Even the Spirit Official Hall has a separate department specifically to entangle these intricate relations.

(After today's end, things will return to normal. The next chapter is a defense chapter, thank you all!)
