Chapter 198: Number One, do we know each other? (6k)

~21 min read 4,007 words

Zhou Qing nodded slightly and said, "So that's how it is, but I'll give you a suggestion: if it can be refined into 【Ice Glass Spirit-Raising Pill】, the effect will be even better."

"【Ice Glass Spirit-Raising Pill】?" Number Six was puzzled; she hadn't heard of this pill.

She was thinking of refining it directly.

Hearing her tone, Zhou Qing knew she didn't know, but he didn't know either.

He had to cough and say, "I'm just making a suggestion. If this pill is successful, even a Soul Severance realm expert can easily break through one to two realms."

Number Six's eyes lit up instantly.

Wait—

She soon reacted and looked at Zhou Qing suspiciously.

Soul Severance realm?

How did he know I was in the Soul Severance realm?

Or was it just a coincidence?

And Zhou Qing didn't notice number six's strangeness, continuing, "That 【Ice Glass Bingli Lingque Zhi】 should be fine, and it's already fully mature. Picking it at this time will have the most mellow medicinal power."

"But you still need to be careful when taking it. Divine medicine has spirit; if you are not careful, you might fall short of success."

Number Six sighed helplessly and said, "I know, the main problem is that blood-stained cloth. You've seen it, its methods are strange. Every time I get close to the stone platform, it notices, and various attacks follow one after another."

"And those dense transparent cocoons. Once during a simulation, it seemed to be forced into a corner and directly released three hundred cocoons. The humanoid creatures inside were extremely violent, each capable of exerting the attack of a Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation realm."

Zhou Qing nodded solemnly. He had roughly counted those cocoons; there were at least thousands.

If all were released, I'm afraid even a Soul Severance realm powerhouse would find it difficult to handle.

"That is a shroud, it once wrapped a Human Emperor, and the blood on it should be the blood of some Human Emperor!" Zhou Qing said.

Hearing this, number six was full of disbelief.

Shroud?

Human Emperor?

Wait, could it be—

No wonder there was a Blood Phoenix Bone here; it turned out it wasn't a legend.

Number Six, who had come to her senses, looked at Zhou Qing again, full of awe.

Being able to recognize the Ice Glass Bingli Lingque Zhi, knowing the Ice Glass Spirit-Raising Pill, and the Human Emperor Shroud, as well as the love songs in the safe zone before.

Such a learned person, who exactly is he? And what realm is he in?

"I do have a method to control the shroud, but I don't know if you can receive it?" Zhou Qing looked at her and said.

The inheritance of Senior Xuan Xuan Qingzi, at the very least, he couldn't express it outside; otherwise, if the Second Granduncle asked him for it, he would have given it to him.

With the Second Granduncle's guidance, he could also master arrays and restrictions faster.

Hearing that there was a way to control the shroud, number six was excited and hurriedly said, "Please speak."

Zhou Qing took out a blank jade cylinder from his storage bag, placed it on his brow, and meditated on the four-color array 【Taiyin Refining Soul Array】, wanting to imprint it on it.

But he couldn't do it at all, so he had to sigh helplessly.

Then he looked at number six and said, "By the way, do you know the 【Taiyin Refining Soul Array】?"

Number Six was stunned and said repeatedly, "I've heard of it in ancient books, but I've never seen it. This array is a four-color array, long lost, and specifically restrains gloomy and evil objects."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing was speechless; how did it become a lost object?

But after thinking about it, he still said, "My situation here is a bit special, and I cannot imprint it on a jade slip. If you don't mind, I will pass it to you directly by spiritual sense. Of course, whether it can be passed is not certain."

Hearing this, number six was stunned, then her eyes widened, full of shock.

She never thought that this Number One would know this long-lost array and would pass it to her without reservation.

You know, every array, especially a level four array, is the painstaking crystallization of array masters.

This is like an alchemist; who would easily give away the pill recipe they have treasured for many years and spent painstaking efforts to develop to others casually?

At this moment, number six stared blankly at Zhou Qing.

Could it be that Number One is an even higher-level array master?

After all, only such a master would pass on a level four array so casually. To them, perhaps a level four array was no longer surprising.

After a brief hesitation, she nodded.

"Whether it succeeds or not, thank you very much!" After speaking, she took a deep breath and took a step forward slowly.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing didn't say anything more, stretched out his index finger, his fingertip carrying a trace of spiritual light, and touched it lightly on number six's brow through that layer of unique haze.

The moment he touched it, Zhou Qing felt a chill coming from his fingertip.

And on number six's side, since she started cultivating, the most contact she had with men was with Number One in the simulated state.

Especially at this moment, this kind of intimate contact made her heartbeat accelerate suddenly, and her body trembled slightly.

Zhou Qing also couldn't help but swallow his saliva, trying hard to calm the waves in his heart, hurriedly concentrated his spirit, operated his soul power, and began to pass the information related to the 【Taiyin Refining Soul Array】 to number six through spiritual sense.

To his surprise, that information flowed into number six's sea of consciousness smoothly, as if it had found a compatible channel.

It could actually be shared successfully.

"In the Divine Ruins Heavenly Palace, jade slips cannot be imprinted, but members can; it's really interesting!" Zhou Qing secretly marveled in his heart.

At the same time, number six closed her eyes tightly, feeling the huge information surging like a tide with her whole heart.

As it kept surging in, an excited expression gradually appeared on her face, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

The long-lost and priceless 【Taiyin Refining Soul Array】 had actually appeared in her sea of consciousness so truly?

It felt like a dream.

After a while, the information transmission ended.

Number Six opened her eyes slowly, full of gratitude.

Immediately after, she suddenly stepped back, bowed respectfully to Zhou Qing, and said, "Thank you for your generous help. I will definitely keep this kindness in mind, but this array is priceless, what do you need in exchange?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "A mere level four array, what exchange is needed? I hope this array can help you. As for the materials, rely on yourself."

Hearing this, number six bowed again in gratitude.

Master, this Number One is definitely a true array master!

At the same time, it made her awe of Zhou Qing grow even stronger.

"Alright, I'll leave first. Act according to your ability, don't be greedy!" Zhou Qing suggested.

After all, when the Blood Phoenix appeared, even the shroud was extremely wary of the red scroll on the stone platform.

Number Six naturally understood Zhou Qing's meaning and nodded repeatedly, indicating she understood.

Until Zhou Qing's figure disappeared completely, she looked at her sea of consciousness excitedly again.

After a while, she suddenly reacted and looked at the place where Zhou Qing disappeared again.

"He just said to let me find the materials myself, but didn't say to let me find an array master to refine this array, which means, he knows I am a level four array master?"

Number Six frowned.

Coupled with what he said before about refining the 【Ice Glass Bingli Lingque Zhi】 into 【Ice Glass Spirit-Raising Pill】, which could help a Soul Severance realm expert break through one to two realms, it seemed he also knew her Soul Severance realm cultivation.

Who exactly is he?

Could it be someone I know?

Why does he know me so clearly?

Soon, she subconsciously looked at the stone wall in front and laughed at herself.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. Every time I activate the Blood Phoenix Bone to enter this hidden space, I use spiritual seals to hit it. With so many spiritual seals, my identity as a level four array master would have been exposed long ago!"

After muttering to herself, she exited.

As Zhou Qing opened his eyes, he saw the old hen clucking and laying a spiritual egg in the distance.

Zhou Qing smiled slightly and went over to pick it up.

Happily picking up the spiritual egg, it was warm to the touch, and he was surprised to find that the spiritual power inside was purer and richer than before, at least close to the spiritual power content of a superior-grade spirit stone.

After all, he was a bit better off now, and the old hen ate whole mid-grade spirit stones. With nutrition keeping up, the quality of the spiritual eggs produced was naturally extraordinary.

"You can be considered a blessed chicken!" Zhou Qing smiled and touched the chicken's head, and the old hen rubbed against his hand with its head.

After teasing the old hen, Zhou Qing picked up the red scroll again to try to open it.

The result was self-evident; it remained motionless.

"Identify it tomorrow, if it really doesn't work, I'll find the Second Granduncle!" Zhou Qing made up his mind.

Just then, Lu Lu Yaoyao's crisp voice came from outside the cave dwelling.

Zhou Qing opened the barrier.

Soon, he saw Lu Lu Yaoyao walking in angrily, holding a soup jar.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, as if she had run over, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Yo, the state is not bad? Still able to stroll the chicken!" Lu Lu Yaoyao glanced at the old hen in Zhou Qing's arms, her tone sarcastic.

Zhou Qing was stunned. He didn't expect her to say such a thing as soon as she opened her mouth, then smiled awkwardly: "I heard from the third senior brother that you've been taking care of me these past few days, thank you."

"Thank you? I don't dare to accept it. No, what's so good about wine? Vomiting and diarrhea and uncomfortable, every time I see you drinking gloomy wine... anyway, I hate you drinking!"

Lu Lu Yaoyao seemed to think of something, wanting to say something but stopping, looking very unhappy.

Zhou Qing was stunned.

Wine was a good thing in the eyes of cultivators, both relaxing the body and mind, and helping cultivation to a certain extent, and he only drank it occasionally.

And, when did I drink gloomy wine?

Also, why do you look so angry that I drink?

Could it be that her brother before liked drinking?

Zhou Qing wanted to say something, but thought better of it. After all, during the few days he was drunk, she had been busy taking care of him.

"This is the stomach-nourishing soup I made, hurry over and drink some!" Lu Lu Yaoyao placed the soup jar on the table and ordered while serving it.

I don't know why, looking at Lu Lu Yaoyao like this, Zhou Qing actually felt a bit guilty, like a child who did something wrong, obediently walking over to sit down and drinking it.

The moment it entered his mouth, his eyes lit up. The taste of this stomach-nourishing soup was surprisingly good, and it carried a faint warmth, reaching his heart.

"How did you learn to make this?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask.

Lu Lu Yaoyao said softly, "Practice makes perfect."

Looking at her angry look, Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

It seemed she should have often made this stomach-nourishing soup for her brother before; no wonder she was so disgusted by drinking.

【Heart Identification Points +7】

A prompt sounded, and Zhou Qing subconsciously looked up.

Only then did he notice that Lu Lu Yaoyao, who was sitting to the side pouting like an angry little hamster, had her original 【Good Eyesight】 entry note changed to 【Very Annoying】 at this moment.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing's face twitched.

This entry changed really directly. It seemed Lu Shimei Lu was really angry this time.

To ease this slightly awkward atmosphere, he hurriedly picked up the bowl and drank it bowl after bowl.

Seeing this, Lu Lu Yaoyao's originally tense face gradually looked better, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes faded slightly.

"Eh, why is your aura growing so fast?" Seeing the atmosphere was still slightly awkwardly subtle, Zhou Qing's brain turned rapidly, hurriedly changing the subject in surprise.

Hearing this, excited light flashed in Lu Lu Yaoyao's eyes, and her whole person became spirited, saying with dancing eyebrows and radiant face: "Instructor Lu taught me a special cultivation method. In less than three years, I will be able to break through to the mid Soul Formation realm!"

Hearing this, Zhou Qing was also excited and full of gratification.

It seemed that the usually cold Lu Lu Yuanzhi was treating Lu Shimei Lu well from the bottom of her heart. With this, he could rest assured.

"Breaking through requires spirit stones. I have some here, take them!" Zhou Qing said, taking out a storage bag and handing it to her.

Lu Lu Yaoyao shook her head gently: "No need, I have them. Don't worry, I won't easily owe favors... don't change the subject, hurry up and drink the soup, I'll go find the Second Granduncle later, drinking any wine casually."

After speaking, her cheeks bulged again, full of anger.

Hearing this, Zhou Qing's face changed, hurriedly opening his mouth to stop her: "Don't, don't, Lu Shimei Lu, listen to me, this time drinking was also helpful to me. The Second Granduncle's wine is something ordinary people can't drink. Don't look at me being drunk for a few days, but my spiritual power increased greatly..."

An hour later, Zhou Qing was dry-mouthed, having exhausted his tongue, and finally persuaded Lu Lu Yaoyao not to go find the Second Granduncle.

And he promised her that he would never touch a drop of alcohol in the future, only then sending her outside the cave dwelling.

"Yo, Lu Shimei Lu is here, Fourth one, this academy is really a good place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers lie. Look, what I got, fifty jars of spiritual wine!"

Just then, Yan Xiao, who had gone out because of his wine addiction, came from afar with a loud voice.

He was excited, holding three jars of wine in his arms, making his steps stagger.

"Although it can't compare to the one the Second Granduncle invited you to drink, it can still deal with it a little... Fourth one, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Yan Xiao was puzzled, then smiled and looked at Lu Lu Yaoyao, saying: "It just so happens Lu Shimei Lu is here, let's drink for three days and three nights. By the way, call Zhou Shixiong Li Li Daoxuan over..."

Yan Xiao became more excited as he spoke, but before he finished, he couldn't help but shiver.

The smile on his face froze instantly: "So cold, why is there a murderous intent? Lu Shimei Lu, what are you doing? I am your senior brother, help—"

After midnight, Zhou Qing took out the red scroll and identified it immediately.

【Blood Phoenix Clan Inheritance Treasure Technique: This is an extremely rare inscription-level cultivation technique divine ability—Hundred Tribulations Blood Curtain, which requires an extreme weapon to unlock. If it can evolve into the ultimate three thousand Phoenix Flame Dao patterns, it can be comparable to a Dao Trace-level divine ability.】

Seeing the feedback information, Zhou Qing was dumbfounded.

Inscription-level?

Dao Trace-level?

What does it mean?

He didn't understand, but he saw that it needed an extreme weapon to unlock.

If he remembered correctly, the millstone in the gravity zone of the Taiqingmen was a scrap piece from the extreme weapon 【Void Ring】.

The broken sword was obtained from inside at that time.

That millstone, as the key to the entire gravity zone, guarded the Taiqingmen for generation after generation, but despite this, it was only a scrap piece of an extreme weapon.

It could be seen how terrifying a real extreme weapon was.

Such a weapon, he hadn't even seen it, let alone use it to open this scroll.

Wasted a copy post, just to get this thing?

Zhou Qing only felt a burst of frustration.

After sighing, he seemed to think of something and hurriedly took out the broken sword, scratching at the scroll.

But he probed for a long time, and still couldn't open it.

Then looking at the broken sword, he laughed at himself.

It seemed he was overthinking it.

After waiting for another night, he tried to identify it again, and the result was exactly the same. No way, Zhou Qing decided to find the Second Granduncle.

Inside the cave dwelling!

The Second Granduncle stood in front of the stone table, his eyes staring fixedly at the ancient scroll Zhou Qing held in both hands and handed over, his whole person as if frozen, not coming back to his senses for a long time.

Zhou Qing was serious, his expression sincere, fearing the Second Granduncle wouldn't believe his words.

"Granduncle, I really didn't lie to you, I really dug this out. You also know that my cave dwelling now houses two people, the space is a bit cramped, I thought about expanding it, but I didn't expect to dig this thing out while digging."

"By the way, there was a note attached to the scroll at the time."

Zhou Qing frowned slightly, trying hard to recall: "The note said it needed an extreme weapon to open, and also mentioned inscription-level, Dao Trace-level. Granduncle, what does this mean?"

Zhou Qing asked for advice with a puzzled face.

Hearing this, the Second Granduncle's face twitched uncontrollably, especially when he heard the three words "Dao Trace-level", his body shook violently, and his hands grabbed the scroll instantly, fearing someone would snatch it.

"The, the note?" The Second Granduncle's voice trembled, asking anxiously.

Zhou Qing sighed helplessly and explained: "Too much time has passed, it weathered as soon as I touched it, turning directly into powder, leaving nothing behind."

Hearing this, the Second Granduncle was anxious, and without a word, dragged Zhou Qing's arm and rushed to his cave dwelling.

Along the way, the Second Granduncle's expression was solemn, and he didn't say a word.

Zhou Qing felt his arm was about to be dislocated, but it also confirmed that this scroll from the forbidden area indeed had an extraordinary secret.

The two soon arrived at Zhou Qing's cave dwelling.

Fortunately, before coming, he had prepared, digging a big hole in the depths of the cave dwelling, and the surrounding soil and stones were scattered all over the ground, looking a mess.

The Second Granduncle couldn't care about much, hurriedly rushing inside, carefully probing in the excavation site.

His hands searched rapidly among the soil and stones, not letting go of any corner, but after a search, there was nothing.

He could only straighten up, full of disappointment.

"Nothing else?" The Second Granduncle asked.

Zhou Qing shook his head; why are you greedier than me.

That forbidden area, even if you went there yourself, it's estimated you couldn't bring it out. I've already had great luck.

Just then, Yan Xiao hummed a little tune, strolling back with the chicken.

As soon as he stepped into the cave dwelling, he saw Zhou Qing and the Second Granduncle, and was puzzled.

Soon he seemed to think of something and couldn't help but lick his lips.

Just about to greet, the Second Granduncle flicked his finger, and a spiritual power shot towards his forehead.

Yan Xiao didn't even have a chance to react, his eyes rolled back, and he fell straight to the ground, sleeping soundly.

The old hen swayed its body, slowly pacing to a water pit on the side, flapping comfortably.

Subsequently, the Second Granduncle turned around slowly, his movements carrying a bit of solemnity and caution, gently taking out the ancient scroll.

His eyes were full of fanaticism and excitement, immediately after, he cleared his throat and began to explain to Zhou Qing.

"On the path of cultivation, cultivation techniques and divine abilities actually have level divisions. Of course, I don't need to say this, you should understand."

When the Second Granduncle said this, he flicked his finger, directly writing in the air with spiritual power.

"Cultivation techniques and divine abilities are actually divided into four levels: ordinary level, inscription level, Dao Trace level, and Law level."

"Just like the 【Cang Lei Sword Art】, 【Silver Dragon Hand】, 【Silver Dragon Step】, etc., that you cultivated before, they actually belong to ordinary cultivation techniques and divine abilities."

"These cultivation techniques and divine abilities are relatively common in the cultivation world and are the foundation for most cultivators to start."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing frowned slightly, lost in thought.

Looking at Zhou Qing, the Second Granduncle paused slightly, then continued: "Of course, like the bloodline divine abilities 【Jin Wu Burning Sky Canon】, 【Thunder Burst Star Meteor Kill】, etc., that you obtained from Jin Wu blood, Suanni blood, etc., although they also belong to the ordinary level."

"But they are already the top existence among ordinary divine abilities. They rely on powerful bloodline power, and their power far exceeds ordinary spells."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing felt a burst of horror in his heart.

Those powerful divine abilities derived from the bloodline of divine birds only belong to the ordinary level?

At this moment, the Second Granduncle exerted force on his finger again, spiritual power like a stream, the handwriting written in the air becoming more dazzling, and even his voice raised slightly, his eyes flashing with excited light.

"And in this world, there are some more mysterious and powerful divine abilities. They use the laws of heaven and earth as ink, and the cultivator's essence blood as a pen, engraving the rules of power into concrete 【Law Inscriptions】. These divine abilities are called inscription-level."

The Second Granduncle said while gesturing the action of engraving in the air, making Zhou Qing more intuitively feel the majestic power of inscription-level divine abilities.

"And above the inscription level, there is an even more terrifying existence. That is the divine ability that uses the divine soul as a guide and the origin of the Great Dao as an imprint. They are the Dao Trace level."

Speaking of this, the Second Granduncle's expression suddenly became more solemn, as if mentioning a forbidden existence.

"Dao Trace-level divine abilities have already touched the edge of the Great Dao. Once displayed, they can trigger unknown heaven and earth visions."

"When you gathered four flowers at the top, the commotion was visible to everyone in the Lingyun Mansion, and any Dao Trace-level divine ability possesses such power to shock heaven and earth!"

Hearing this, Zhou Qing clicked his tongue secretly.

A vision triggered by the display of a divine ability could have such a wide mapping range?

When he gathered four flowers at the top, it was purely because of the mirage in that desert, which couldn't be compared to a real Dao Trace-level divine ability at all.

"As for the higher-level Law level," the Second Granduncle shook his head, a look of awe on his face.

"It's not something our level can understand. Such divine abilities are extremely rare even in level five or even level six cultivation countries."

"They contain complete law power and are the power that dominates heaven and earth. Once displayed, just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle."
