Zhao Qian noticed the search in Li Quanqing's eyes and did not conceal it, but spoke candidly.
"I assume that Fellow Daoist Quanqing has noticed, my consumption is now considerable, even my Artifact Spirit body can hardly bear it."
"The cause and effect is just a retreat of several decades, a journey to explore the heavens!"
Upon hearing Zhao Qian's words, Li Quanqing was immediately astonished in his heart.
Exploring the heavens!
For a Nascent Soul Cultivator, retreating for a practice session and consuming decades of time are quite normal.
After all, with a lifespan of a thousand years, plus many Life Extension Secret Techniques, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, cultivation breakthroughs, that's enough to live over twelve hundred years, overlooking the changes in the human world.
Moreover, Zhao Qian is now in the form of an Artifact Spirit, walking on the Longevity Path, living for hundreds of thousands of years is not a problem.
