Chapter 119

At this time, Lu Yaoyao was still immersed in the fun of Gomoku. She never thought that these seemingly simple black and white pieces could construct such a wonderful situation of chasing and blocking.

But soon she reacted and said: "Okay, leave it to me."

Zhou Qing nodded and left.

And after arriving at the latrine, he first vigilantly observed the movement around him. After confirming that there was no abnormal situation, he quickly pushed away the stone used for cover, and then jumped down without hesitation.

After taking the moonstone to the bottom of the main pool, he found that the array disk was still there, and there wasn't even a red dot on it.

This made him feel a burst of surprise.

But soon he started to worry. The array disk was there, which meant Second Uncle hadn't come out yet.

Could he have been trapped again?

After a brief hesitation, he first erased the words left yesterday, then headed deeper.

Until he arrived at the end of the passage, the five-colored altar lay quietly there, and the eight superior-grade spirit stones in it had long been exhausted and turned into powder.

It seems that the energy consumed by this one-time teleportation is not generally high.

But how will Second Uncle come back?

After all, this thing looks like a one-way ticket no matter how you look at it.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Qing simply performed an appraisal.

【Five-colored Teleportation Array: A truly peak array is divided into nine colors, one color is the weakest, nine colors are the strongest. This is a five-colored teleportation array arranged extremely cleverly. Not only can it teleport across distances, but it can also easily penetrate many barriers and prohibitions, which is extremely rare.】

Seeing the feedback information, Zhou Qing was stunned, stretched out his hand to swipe up again to see if there was more introduction.

Obviously, there was no more content, which made him a bit disappointed.

I just want to know, how to come back after going in?

It seems that every time it depends on a certain amount of luck. After all, whether the appraised information happens to contain the key content to solve his current problem is really hard to say.

However, he really didn't know that the array was divided into nine colors.

Just like the protective and soundproofing barriers of his residence, it seems they never had any color.

Calculating this way, this array arranged as the color of the altar must be able to sell for a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing couldn't help rubbing his hands excitedly, but soon shook his head. If he took this thing away, it would definitely affect his height.

Because after Second Uncle comes out, he will break his legs.

Afterward, he sat down to the side in disappointment and waited quietly.

At the same time, Lu Yaoyao, who was playing chess by herself, didn't take long to see Li Daoxuan and He Han walking over together.

"Where is Zhou Shidi? Didn't hear that he came?" The two looked around and asked curiously.

Lu Yaoyao looked at the two, and couldn't help muttering in her heart: "I knew Shizun wouldn't be at ease."

But on the surface, she could only pretend to be indifferent and lied to the two: "Left early, do the two Shixiong have something to do?"

Li Daoxuan and He Han smiled slightly and said: "Nothing much, just came over to look around. Why are you playing chess by yourself? This chess seems to be played wrong, right?"

As they spoke, the two also looked down at the chess game on the board.

Lu Yaoyao had to stand up and say: "Playing randomly. Then Shixiong, you guys look around, Shimei is suddenly a bit tired and wants to go in and rest."

As Lu Yaoyao spoke, she yawned, pretending to be exhausted.

The two looked at each other and couldn't bother her anymore.

"Then okay, Shimei, you rest first. We were just passing by, so we'll leave first!" The two had to say goodbye politely and left.

Seeing them leave, Lu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly returned to the room.

After closing the door with a "bang," she hurriedly took out her identity token and sent a message.

【Zhou Shixiong, how is it? Just now my Da Shixiong and Er Shixiong came, but they have already been sent away by me.】

Zhou Qing in the tunnel, after seeing the message, was about to raise his hand to reply, but suddenly found that the five-colored altar in front of him was shaking violently without warning.

He was startled and hurriedly stood up, his eyes fixed on the altar.

Afterward, he saw a figure slowly appearing on the altar.

Who else could it be but Second Uncle.

At this moment, he looked disheveled, just like when he teleported away yesterday, cursing in his mouth, not knowing what he was muttering.

"Senior!" Seeing Second Uncle, Zhou Qing was excited.

And after seeing Zhou Qing, Second Uncle jumped off the altar and landed steadily on the ground.

"How long was I gone?" The first sentence Second Uncle said after landing was to ask about the time.

Zhou Qing hurriedly answered: "One day and one night!"

"Hmm, about the same time as I estimated. Have you been waiting here?" Second Uncle asked casually while patting the dust off his body.

Zhou Qing nodded without hesitation, his face not red and his heart not beating: "Junior is a person who keeps his word. Since you asked me to guard here before, I haven't left even one step."

Hearing this, Second Uncle couldn't help laughing: "Hmph, I don't know if you keep your word or not. I only know that you kid are just eyeing the things under the main pool. Have they left?"

Zhou Qing was full of excitement and answered hurriedly: "All left, there's no one here now."

"That's good, I'll take it for you by the way. I have other things to deal with next!"

After Second Uncle finished speaking, he didn't talk much and headed straight forward.

Until he saw Second Uncle take down the array disk and place his hands on the soil layer, closing his eyes as if sensing something.

Zhou Qing was full of anticipation, quietly took out the token, and sent a message to Lu Yaoyao.

【I'll be out soon, you must pretend to be asleep now, absolutely don't look at the entrance here.】

He wasn't sure if Second Uncle would use means like erasing memories if he found out someone else had discovered the existence of this tunnel.

Just as Zhou Qing put away the token, he saw a piece of Flame Spirit Blood Paste with a deeper color slowly drilling out of the soil above.

Afterward, it was the second piece, the third piece...

Zhou Qing's eyes glowed green, and he hurriedly took out jade boxes one by one to pack them carefully.

Until he packed a full twenty-one pieces, Second Uncle stopped his hand.

"I specially left three pieces above. Remember, leave a line in everything, don't break the root. With those three pieces, it will be much easier for new Flame Spirit Blood Paste to settle here in the future." Second Uncle urged solemnly.

Zhou Qing nodded, indicating he remembered.

"You are now in the late Jin Dan realm. If you want to condense the Nascent Soul of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, the energy required is probably huge. These Flame Spirit Blood Pastes should be very useful to you, so I won't take what others love. Little guy, work hard!"

Second Uncle looked at the jade boxes on the ground, with a kind smile on his face, full of encouragement.

Zhou Qing was moved, immediately took a step back, and then respectfully bowed to Second Uncle.

"Thank you, Senior!" Zhou Qing's tone was full of gratitude.

Second Uncle said: "That's it, we'll meet again. I'll wait for your good news."

After Second Uncle finished speaking, he turned to leave.

Zhou Qing suddenly thought of something and hurriedly shouted at his back: "Then Senior, if I can smell your scent next time, will you give me another opportunity?"

"Slippery kid!" Second Uncle's hearty laughter came from afar, until the sound drifted away and disappeared.

Zhou Qing scratched his head in embarrassment. Perhaps because he had been with Third Shixiong for a long time, he felt his face getting thicker and thicker.

But looking at the twenty-one pieces of Flame Spirit Blood Paste in front of him, plus the five from yesterday, that was twenty-six pieces, enough for him to impact the perfection realm.

After packing up quickly, Zhou Qing climbed out with satisfaction.

"This girl is so obedient?" When Zhou Qing came out of the tunnel and covered the entrance again, he found that Lu Yaoyao hadn't stayed around at all, and the gate of the residence was tightly closed.

No, generally if you tell a girl not to turn her head, not to open, not to peek, etc., often the more you say that, the more curious they will be, and the more they can't help but want to see what's going on.

This Lu Shimei is really different from ordinary people.

After patting the mud off his body, Zhou Qing walked over unhurriedly and knocked on the door.

After hearing Zhou Qing's voice, Lu Yaoyao opened it hurriedly.

"Zhou Shixiong, you've come out. I absolutely didn't look, I've been pretending to sleep." As soon as Lu Yaoyao saw Zhou Qing, she said eagerly, looking as if she was afraid Zhou Qing wouldn't believe her.

Zhou Qing smiled and said: "I believe it, anyway, not looking is good for you."

Looking at Lu Yaoyao's serious and obedient appearance, Zhou Qing thought for a while, then took out another piece of Flame Spirit Blood Paste for her.

Since she is a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, the energy required for breakthrough cannot be inferred by common sense. Having an extra guarantee is always good.

Seeing the jade box Zhou Qing handed over, Lu Yaoyao waved her hands: "No need, no need, those two pieces are enough, you need it more than I do."

"I'm a person who eats soft and not hard. The more you don't want it, the more I have to give it to you. Take it!" Zhou Qing didn't talk nonsense and stuffed the jade box into her hand.

Lu Yaoyao accepted it in embarrassment.

"By the way, try not to go down to that place. Next, I'm going to absorb these things with all my strength, you also have to work hard!" He urged seriously.

Lu Yaoyao nodded obediently and responded repeatedly: "Exactly, I also want to take this opportunity to go into seclusion. Then I wish Shixiong a smooth absorption and an early breakthrough!"

After chatting briefly, Zhou Qing left.

Arriving at the front mountain of Shenyue Peak, Niu Guangmo was waiting there boredly.

"Zhou Shixiong!" After seeing Zhou Qing come out, Niu Guangmo ran over hurriedly.

Zhou Qing was in a great mood and said: "Back to the mountain!"

…………

After returning to Little Spirit Peak, Zhou Qing sent messages to his Master and Third Shixiong respectively, informing them that he would be in seclusion for a period of time next, and if there was nothing particularly urgent, try not to disturb him.

Not long after, both replied. His Master told him to take his time and not be too hasty.

As for Third Shixiong, there was only one short sentence.

【Seclude, seclude, I'm making money recently, no time to find you!】

Yan Xiaohu, who was already poor, replied with this message and then there was no more news. I guess he was busy thinking about his ways of making money again.

Zhou Qing smiled, activated the barrier, then took out a piece of Flame Spirit Blood Paste, chopped it up, chewed it slowly, and started refining it by operating the 【Yin-Yang Art】...

……

A month later, in a courtyard on Shenyue Peak, a powerful pressure suddenly came. Cao Zhengyang, who was dealing with affairs, was stunned, immediately looked up in a certain direction, and was incredulous.

His figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, and when he appeared again, he was above Lu Yaoyao's residence.

Feeling the vigorous and surging aura below, Cao Zhengyang laughed loudly, then quickly covered his mouth, fearing to disturb this girl.

"This is the true pride of heaven. A month ago she said she wanted to touch the threshold of the Jin Dan realm, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect to be slapped in the face. Amazing, truly amazing!"

Cao Zhengyang was excited. With a wave of his hand, several flags flew out, inserted horizontally around, and instantly formed a soundproof light shield.

Vaguely, two colors of light seemed to flow on it.

"Shizun—"

Li Daoxuan and the other five also came from various directions. After seeing all this, they also understood, each with joy on their faces.

"Keep it down!" Cao Zhengyang hurriedly made a shushing sound to the five.

Several people nodded repeatedly and waited quietly.

Until the afternoon, this aura finally began to converge bit by bit. Not long after, the courtyard gate was slowly opened.

Lu Yaoyao looked up at the six people in the air and smiled happily.

"Shizun, didn't let down your expectations!"

…………

Two more months passed in a flash, and Zhou Qing had been in seclusion for as long as three months.

After such a long time of disappearance, whether it was the disciples of Little Spirit Peak or the disciples of other peaks, it seemed they no longer paid attention to him.

It is said that there is no filial son before the long-term sickbed. Not to mention others, just take his Shixiong Yan Xiaohu, now everyone rarely sees the two of them acting together.

This guy, taking his eight followers every day, was busy all day long, not knowing what he was busy with.

Thinking carefully, this is actually reasonable. After all, everyone has their own things to do, and they can't keep revolving around one person.

Take Lu Yaoyao of Shenyue Peak, after successfully breaking through to the Jin Dan realm, the Zhang Sect took her out for training personally to broaden her horizons.

Chief Li Daoxuan, after some preparation, also quietly left the sect, looking like he went to explore and comprehend his own realm.

Chief Du Kui and Luo Xue of Jinyang Peak also left in a hurry a month ago. According to Elder Jiang Pu who guards the Soul Lamp Tower, it seems their Shidi encountered danger.

Half a month ago, Shi Zhen of Yuqing Peak successfully condensed a Profound-level Nascent Soul. Even so, it was a realm countless people dreamed of.

And the first time after Shi Zhen succeeded in forming the Nascent Soul, she came to Little Spirit Peak full of joy, wanting to tell Zhou Qing this great news, but was told Zhou Qing was in seclusion.

According to Yan Xiaohu, Zhou Qing chose the path of body refining, which required crazy polishing of the physical body in the early stage, so that his body was now swollen and not suitable for meeting people.

After hearing this, Shi Zhen was a bit disappointed, but had to leave helplessly.

And Peak Master Tong Min of Yuqing Peak celebrated the whole peak for seven days.

Many Peak Masters brought disciples to send gifts, and the entire Yuqing Peak was immersed in joy.

Seven days later, Shi Zhen left with Da Shijie Sister Pei Yan.

It turned out that although Shi Zhen had the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, she still lacked a large amount of spirit stones to complete the Nascent Soul Formation.

Previously, she had sold many things, but it was still far from what was needed.

Coincidentally at that time, Da Shijie Sister Pei Yan of Yuqing Peak returned from a mission. After knowing Shi Zhen's situation, she helped generously, which allowed Shi Zhen to have the foundation to step into the Nascent Soul realm.

Because Da Shijie Sister Pei Yan's other mission happened to need manpower, she followed and left to help.

And she had to find a way to earn enough money for the Nascent Soul Formation Pill to pay Zhou Qing back.

This favor, she had to return!

And just today, at the foot of Taiqingmen, a dusty figure stopped.

Her clothes were tattered, like a beggar's, with patches on patches, and the colors were not the same.

The hem of her clothes was stained with dried mud, as if she had trekked through the mud.

And on her head, she wore an old bamboo hat. The edge of the hat was slightly worn, and a few strips of cloth hung down casually, as if she had experienced a bumpy journey all the way.

As the sun shone down, she slowly adjusted her bamboo hat, revealing a wheat-colored female face underneath.

At first glance, it was very ordinary, but if you looked closely, it was full of unique beauty.

Although there were some dusty traces, her eyebrows were long and thin, her eyes were clear, her nose bridge was high, and the proportions of her features were perfect.

Like a piece of unpolished jade, although its light was covered by mud, it only needed a little decoration to bloom with amazing beauty.

However, at this time, her eyes, besides a little joy, also revealed a bit of caution.

Afterward, she turned her head helplessly, looked behind her, and couldn't help but frown and speak.

"How long are you going to follow me? I'm home, you can go!"

At this time, behind her, a middle-aged man who also looked dusty climbed up, panting.

He panted heavily, reached out his hand, but couldn't say a word, sat directly on the ground, took out a water bottle, and drank it in large gulps.

In the end, he even poured it on his head and shouted "Refreshing!"

And this man's clothes were also old, full of dust and wrinkles, but his eyebrows were very thick, like two caterpillars lying above his eyes, trembling slightly with his panting, revealing a sense of honesty.

Luo Lingling frowned slightly, forming a small "chuan" shape, then turned and left straight away.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly found a wooden stick from the side, used it as a crutch, and chased after her.

"Ling'er, wait for me, this deep mountain and old forest, can you bear to leave me behind—"

Not long after, looking at the familiar mountain gate, a happy smile finally appeared on Luo Lingling's face.

After four years of separation, finally back!

Don't know how Sanhuzi and Little Aqing are doing now?

And Old Mo, in the years she was away, did he bully the two of them?

"Stop!" The Taiqingmen disciples guarding the barrier came out immediately and surrounded them.

Luo Lingling smiled, then bowed behind the barrier.

"Elder Elder Wu Zhu, it's only been a few years, have you forgotten me!"

As the voice fell, the barrier began to ripple. Immediately after, an old man with gray hair stepped out into the air.

After looking carefully, Elder Elder Wu Zhu stroked his beard and laughed loudly.

"I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be Luo Eryatou from Little Spirit Peak. No, why is your dress different every time I see you? Which beggar did you strip this set of clothes from?" Elder Wu Zhu asked.

Luo Lingling smiled and said: "You guessed it right. This set of clothes was indeed stripped from a beggar, but it was exchanged for three steamed buns."

"You, you, I don't know who taught you this cautious nature. You are simply two extremes with your Da Shixiong Gui Ao!"

Although Elder Wu Zhu said so, he was shocked to find that he couldn't see through Luo Lingling's cultivation at all.

You know, as a resident Elder guarding the barrier, he himself had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul perfection.

My goodness, could this girl have reached Divine Transformation?

Luo Lingling didn't say anything more, directly took out her identity token, and threw it into the barrier to prove she wasn't an impostor.

Elder Elder Wu Zhu laughed.

You think we are the same as you? This is too cautious.

"Don't dawdle, hurry in. If your Master knows you are back..."

Elder Wu Zhu just said this with a smile, and his expression changed slightly.

He suddenly remembered that Luo Eryatou cared for her little Shidi very much. Sometimes when Peak Master Mo taught him a lesson, this girl dared to confront him directly with a sword, and even chased him.

Mo Xingjian didn't dare to let out a fart, just escaped with a sheepish smile, at most hiding to the side to be stubborn for a while, looking for face for himself.

He seemed to have heard someone say that this Luo Eryatou was actually Mo Xingjian's daughter, but she followed her mother's surname.

When Mo Xingjian brought her back that year, the girl was already five years old. The whole Little Spirit Peak was turned upside down by her. Mo Xingjian didn't dare to manage it, and even had to compensate with a smile to make her happy. Da disciple Gui Ao had been jealous for a long time.

And until today, this girl hadn't called him Master once, calling him Old Mo, Old Mo directly, and even the later accepted Old Three Yan Xiaohu followed and called him Old Mo, and was beaten miserably.

Tell me, throughout history, how many people have treated their Master like a grandson?

Now she has been out for four years, but the youngest one, Zhou Qing, had his Jin Dan dug out. With her protective nature, this Little Spirit Peak is probably going to be lively.

Soon, the token was verified, and a door for entry and exit was opened directly at the barrier.

Luo Lingling immediately took back the token, turned her head to look behind her, and said helplessly: "Elder Elder Wu Zhu, there is an extremely annoying guy following me, absolutely don't let him into our Taiqingmen."

After saying this, she bowed and hurried into the mountain gate.

Elder Elder Wu Zhu looked confused, but soon, he saw the person Luo Lingling mentioned.

He saw that person leaning on a wooden stick, panting heavily, looking as if he had experienced an extremely difficult trek.

Afterward, he stopped excitedly, looked up at the mountain gate barrier emitting light in front of him, and complex light flickered in his eyes.

"Arrived, she finally arrived home. It's terrible, actually walked back all the way, more cautious than me. I'm also impressed with myself, how many years, haven't walked like this. If I keep walking, I feel my legs are going to be crippled!"

The man actually knelt on the ground excitedly, covered his face with his hands, and cried out.

But before long, he threw the wooden stick aside again, opened his arms as if relieved, and laughed loudly regardless of others.

His appearance of crying and laughing left the surrounding disciples confused and blank.
