Chapter 288

Just like this, a month later!

In the quiet room, Zhou Qing slowly opened his eyes.

As he reached out, the void suddenly twisted, and a bronze-colored mirror frame slowly emerged from his palm.

"Finally refined successfully!" A sharp glint burst forth in Zhou Qing's eyes.

With a thought, the runes on the surface of the residual frame shone brightly, and dark red flames darted out along the bronze patterns, outlining a huge illusory mirror surface in the void.

Unlike when Master Xuanji executed it back then, although this mirror surface was still empty, it emitted a heart-palpitating pressure.

Zhou Qing didn't know why this was, but guessed it should be related to his four-colored flower.

After all, in the refining process, it was mainly the continuous penetration and control of mental power.

During this period, the four-colored flower rooted in the sea of consciousness continuously overflowed with four-colored energy, merging into the mirror frame along the meridians.

"As for how powerful it is, perhaps I can try it in the Shenxu Tiangong!"

Zhou Qing was full of anticipation, hurriedly took out the token, activated it with spirit stones, and entered.

In this space, there was no one; don't know how No. 6 is doing in comprehending the inscription-level divine ability after being taught by him.

Afterward, he plunged directly into his forbidden zone scene.

As soon as he entered, the terrifying gravity of the gravity zone rushed over.

Immediately after, a sense of peeping that emitted a death threat instantly locked onto him.

The next moment, the ground cracked, and the first sect master Guo Guiqi crawled out while controlling the huge skeleton, then rushed over while roaring.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body operated crazily.

Waving his hand, the mirror frame appeared suddenly, and as the runes flowed, a dark red flame light pillar shot out from it.

This light pillar was like an incredible giant blade, carrying an indescribable momentum, crashing straight toward the first sect master.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the skeleton was shaken backward by the powerful impact, and even plowed a deep trench hundreds of meters long on the ground.

And almost at the same time, Zhou Qing's vision went black, and he stumbled directly, almost falling.

Just this one strike actually drew about eighty percent of the spiritual power in his body; regardless of anything else, he hurriedly supplemented the reserve spiritual power from the golden flower.

And that skeleton, which was comparable to the combat power of the current county governor, climbed up shakily from the ground, actually rushing over again with endless killing intent.

"Come again!" Zhou Qing gritted his teeth, and as the spiritual power was activated again, thousands of golden threads burst out from the mirror surface.

Each one was wrapped in dark red karmic fire, and the rune light was three points brighter than what Master Xuanji used back then.

And the skeleton controlled by the first sect master stepped on the ground, lifting up the sky full of gravel, ignoring gravity, and was less than three meters away from Zhou Qing in just an instant.

"Offended!" A cold glint flashed in Zhou Qing's eyes, and his mind stirred.

The golden threads broke through the air like spirit snakes, interweaving into a giant net in the air that flickered with the aura of the origin of the universe.

"Boom!"

The moment the skeleton crashed into the giant net of threads, a deafening roar erupted.

"Shatter!"

Zhou Qing pulled his hands violently, and the threads easily penetrated the bone joints, twisting the huge body into countless fragments.

Even the blue-black dried corpse sitting in the hollow of the skull was directly cut into powder by the threads wrapped in karmic fire.

And this strike also exhausted the last trace of Zhou Qing's spiritual power, and he collapsed to the ground.

In the last second of fainting, he retreated.

Having turned back into a light ball, everything returned to its peak state.

At this time, he was full of excitement.

As expected of a supreme weapon, both offensive and defensive, just two strikes completely shattered the puppet of the first ancestor.

It seems that there is one more weapon for self-preservation in the future!

"Now, whether it is an inscription-level divine ability or a supreme weapon, it is enough for me to repel the first ancestor guarding the second line of defense of the sect in a simulated state!"

"After these recent things are busy, I can take the opportunity to peek at the other coffins!"

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, full of anticipation.

"Try again!" Zhou Qing couldn't wait to re-enter...

The moment he pushed open the courtyard door, feeling the fresh air outside, Zhou Qing felt so refreshed.

The Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree had already given birth to that ethereal aura; as long as Zhou Qing was willing, in a month, he would be able to condense the fourth wisp of Phoenix Dao pattern.

But refining the supreme weapon for such a long time had already made him physically and mentally exhausted, so he planned to wait until he adjusted before talking about it.

Not in a hurry for this moment!

Thinking about it, with a thought, the personal panel appeared in front of him.

【Name: Zhou Qing】

【Age: 38】

【Cultivation: Mid-stage Soul Formation】

【Mental Method: Yin Yang Jue】

【Talent Skill: Daily Appraisal】

【Random Post】

【Heart Appraisal Vision—LV5 (128/500)】

【Lower Presence—LV6 (1/100)】

【Skill Fragment: 0/3 (Cannot be obtained)】

The talent skill 【Random Post】 hadn't refreshed new posts for a long time.

He could understand this point; after all, it's random, random quantity, random content, random validity period, random trigger method, etc.

【Heart Appraisal Vision】 Since it was upgraded to level 5, after binding Sikong Yan, Lin Jin, Yan Sen, and Shen Hanyi, there are now three spots left.

Without meeting suitable people, he chose to keep them.

After all, seeing others' true views of himself invisibly allows him to make the most correct choices to deal with various potential crises.

【Lower Presence】 is still the same; this level of Soul Formation can no longer help him.

To improve, he can only find Soul Severance realm.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing had a headache.

A tense and exciting multi-person environment, which means you need to adventure with at least seven or eight Soul Severance realm people, and then be ignored by them, to have a chance to refresh new points.

On this point, he estimates that no level 4 cultivation country can help him.

There are only those dozen people in total, why can you concentrate them together?

To refresh, you can only try your luck in a level 5 cultivation country.

And most of the new talent skill fragments are brushed out by brushing ignore points.

The two are bound in a certain sense.

"This is, Master's spiritual power!" Soon, Zhou Qing's thoughts returned, and he couldn't help but look at the door frame on the right.

The next moment, Mo Xingjian's voice came over.

"Old Four, out of seclusion, come to the peak hall!"

Hearing the voice, Zhou Qing smiled and flew away.

"This was brought to you by your Sect Master Uncle a month ago, but you have been in seclusion since you came back, so I didn't dare to disturb you!"

Mo Xingjian handed him a storage bag, Zhou Qing took it suspiciously, but when he saw the Five Elements spirit stones inside, especially the three wood-attribute ones, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Thank you Master, thank you Sect Master Uncle!" Zhou Qing was excited.

Plus the two obtained from Master Xuanji, now he is only three wood-attribute spirit stones away.

That is to say, as long as there is an appropriate opportunity, promoting to the late stage of Soul Formation will be a matter of course.

By then, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the first person under the Soul Severance realm.

"Thank what thank, we are all one family!" Mo Xingjian waved his hand with a smile.

"Although I don't know what you want wood-attribute spirit stones for, your Sect Master Uncle is still thinking of ways, maybe he can gather more through this!"

Mo Xingjian also told Zhou Qing about the orders Cao Zhengyang issued to the former vassal sects of the Tianji Sect.

After listening, Zhou Qing felt even more moved in his heart.

"By the way, there is one more thing, it's about Immortal Immortal Xuanyou Xianyou Xianzi; half a month ago, she almost died, and Yun Jing and the others, who were still busy at the Tianji Sect, rushed back quickly to pull her back from the gate of hell!"

"Seven days ago, Yun Jing and the others came to find you; I told them you were in seclusion, and for the sake of not disturbing you, they are still waiting outside the mountain gate."

"You should know what they are for; the Sect Master's meaning is, no matter what choice you make, we will support you unconditionally."

Mo Xingjian said in a solemn tone.

Zhou Qing was silent, then patted the storage bag, and a box covered with spirit talismans appeared in his hand.

Through searching the soul of Master Lingxu, he could be sure they didn't lie, and this elixir consumed quite a few natural treasures and manpower.

Besides the three people including Master Xuanji, there was also the participation of Sect Master Tianji and other supreme elders who died miserably after taking the Nine Nether Lotus Seeds.

"Master, what do you think?" Zhou Qing looked at Mo Xingjian.

Mo Xingjian smiled slightly: "How do I think that's my idea, it mainly depends on you."

"What are the plans of the Sect Master Uncle or you guys for the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong in the future? Annex it?" Zhou Qing asked.

Mo Xingjian shook his head and said: "Being the only one is not good."

Saying this, he pushed open the window next to the hall lightly, pointing to the distant mountains and clouds, saying: "Look at these vines in the mountains, if they climb too high, they will break; rivers enter the sea, if there are no tributaries gathering, they will dry up."

Afterward, he looked at Zhou Qing, his gaze meaningful, "The Eastern Region needs checks and balances, not oppression."

Zhou Qing was thoughtful, and then said: "So, whether Immortal Immortal Xuanyou Xianyou Xianzi lives or dies, the Taiqingmen will not annex, but will support instead."

Mo Xingjian nodded and said: "That's right, the current Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong is indeed crumbling; they need allies, not masters."

"If we annex them one by one, it seems like the territory is expanding, but in reality, we are making countless enemies, and some things eaten too much at once, besides being uncomfortably bloated, will also cause diarrhea."

"Even if there are other ideas, the steps cannot be too big; we must plan slowly. Now, the purpose of the Imperial Capital is unclear; at this time, we cannot be the bird that sticks its head out!"

After listening to his master's words, Zhou Qing already understood a bit.

If he is unwilling, the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong might have gaps, right? If someone with a heart stirs up a few words, I am afraid the original allies will immediately turn into hidden enemies, which is not worth the loss.

Moreover, when fighting against the Tianji Sect, he and his master had seen the miserable state of Immortal Immortal Xuanyou Xianyou Xianzi.

Day after day, year after year, being tortured by that "Spirit-Sealing Forbidden Law", except for self-rescue, no one could help at all.

What's more pathetic is that she possessed an excellent physique, but from a little girl in Qi Condensation, she had been secretly calculated by the Tianji Sect until now, which is indeed very sigh-worthy.

If it were any other cultivator, I am afraid they wouldn't have lasted until today.

And, perhaps it was fate that she shouldn't die; everyone gave up, including herself, but didn't expect Master Lingxu to suddenly explode such a big melon.

"Then give it to her!" Zhou Qing said after silence.

He is not a saint, nor is he the young man who rushed around when he first entered the sect.

The Soul Formation realm brings not only the improvement of cultivation, but also the transformation of the heart, making him subconsciously stand at a higher perspective to overlook the situation.

Even if Immortal Immortal Xuanyou Xianyou Xianzi takes the life-extending elixir, it is only a few years of lingering on.

What's more, after the four supreme elders including Yun Jing sit and die, no matter how the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong develops, it will be difficult to compete with the Taiqingmen.

On the contrary, because of the rescue during the Five Sects, the stopping of the war after he was bound, and this time the elixir rescue.

This kindness is enough to make the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong willing to be an arm.

If there is a war in the future, they will definitely block various hidden arrows for the Taiqingmen, and the alliance between the two sects will only become more rock-solid, becoming the most stable reliance for each other.

Hearing Zhou Qing's decision, Mo Xingjian looked at his beloved disciple's tall back, and infinite emotion surged in his heart.

Don't look at Old Four's young age, this breadth of mind to take the overall situation into account is something many elders who have practiced for thousands of years can hardly reach.

What's more rare is that he possesses the four flowers gathering at the top; if he can temper his character in such major events, he will have less heart demon entanglement when severing obsessions in the future.

"The Taiqingmen respects your decision; since that's the case, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day; if we delay any longer, I am afraid she won't last a few days!"

Mo Xingjian thought for a while and said.

Zhou Qing nodded and let out a long breath.

When there are two forks in front of you, people will regret no matter which road they choose.

But at this moment, he found that after making the decision, his heart was incredibly clear.

Perhaps, in his view, the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong is no longer the towering place that needed to be looked up to in the past.

It is just a small coordinate on the map of the level 4 cultivation country.

When power and vision climb together, the so-called high mountains are just footnotes of the past.

The scenery he wants to see is ahead, not under his feet!

The Taiqingmen has a teleportation array directly to the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, so Mo Xingjian notified Elder Elder Wu Zhu to bring the four people in first.

Soon, the four people including Yun Jing rushed over with excitement, rushing to Zhou Qing in two or three steps, their eyes full of hope and anxiety.

"Little Sect Master!" The four knelt down, but were stopped by Zhou Qing with quick eyes and hands.

The four people's voices were choked, and tears streamed down their faces.

"Please save our Sect Master! She... she has been in a coma for many days, and the medicine basically has no effect!"

Zhou Qing's expression was calm, and he didn't beat around the bush, handing the elixir box directly.

"I have been in seclusion recently, I don't know that you visited, but this is the antidote mentioned by Master Lingxu, but the authenticity still needs to be verified."

Looking at the box covered with spirit talismans, the four were stunned, seemingly not expecting Zhou Qing to be so straightforward.

You have to know, that time they mistakenly thought he was the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and forcibly bound him, but almost killed him.

But looking at Zhou Qing's calm eyes, the leader Yun Jing hurriedly took it with trembling hands.

As the box lid opened, a refreshing medicinal fragrance rushed toward them.

Lying in the box was an elixir the size of a pigeon egg, translucent, and inside the elixir flowed star-like patterns.

Looking at this scene, the four people's rapid breathing trembled lightly.

"Thank you Little Sect Master, thank you Little Sect Master, as long as there is a glimmer of life, we will not give up!"

The four people were in tears of joy.

"If this medicine can save the Sect Master, the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong is willing to be the vanguard of the Taiqingmen, and will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"

The blue light condensed by the spiritual power of the four people exploded in the sky; they actually made a Heavenly Dao oath with their own cultivation.

Zhou Qing was stunned, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

But looking at the determined eyes of the four, Zhou Qing had to say: "The teleportation array is ready, you can take it back to the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong."

"Thank you Little Sect Master, thank you Peak Master Cao!" Yun Jing carefully put the medicine box into the storage bag and rushed toward the teleportation array under the leadership of a true disciple.

Mo Xingjian sighed: "They may not be shrewd schemers, but they are absolutely competent sect guards. By the way, why don't you follow?"

Zhou Qing said: "What am I going for? To show off in front of people?"

Mo Xingjian was stunned, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Zhou Qing said: "If this were a secular novel, if I followed, it would indeed be a cool point."

"But the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong is now in internal and external trouble; if I go at this time and appear as a savior, on the surface it can harvest the gratitude of the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, but in reality, it will make them wary."

"Even if Immortal Immortal Xuanyou Xianyou Xianzi survives after taking the elixir, do I have to wait for her to kneel and thank me? Or send me something good?"

Zhou Qing paused and continued.

"Since the Sect Master Uncle and you guys have no intention of annexing the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, I can't let them feel that we have the intention of annexing, thus causing unnecessary resistance."

"As for the temporary false name, I don't care even more!"

After listening to Zhou Qing's words, Mo Xingjian's eyes were full of appreciation.

"If you didn't possess that thing, perhaps, in this small pond of the Taiqingmen, you would be the most outstanding sect master in history!" Mo Xingjian whispered softly.

"Old Four!"

"Zhou Shixiong!"

"Brother Zhou!"

As soon as Zhou Qing returned, he saw Lu Yaoyao, Yan Xiaohu, and Shen Yunzhou waiting outside the courtyard.

Seeing Zhou Qing, the three greeted him happily.

"Why are you here? Wait, Brother Shen, your hair—"

Soon, Zhou Qing discovered that Shen Yunzhou's hair had all turned shit-yellow.

A proper yellow hair!

Shen Yunzhou looked embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "The realm can subtly affect the color of people's hair; my sister is like this, you should have seen it."

"I didn't expect that half a month ago, after waking up, it became like this!"

After listening, Zhou Qing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I think this color is quite good, call you Shen Huangmao in the future, but yellow hair... tsk, how to say, can only be described in one sentence!" Zhou Qing said.

Shen Yunzhou was curious: "What sentence?"

Zhou Qing looked at him seriously and said: "Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain; no matter how hard you try, you can never move it."

Shen Yunzhou shook his head and said: "My sister said my brain is only the size of a walnut, and I admit it, so this sentence is too profound, you just say whether you are praising me or damaging me?"

Zhou Qing said: "Let me tell you this, if I had a daughter, I would definitely not let her associate with you."

Shen Yunzhou: "..."

Lu Yaoyao held the old hen in her arms and immediately came to Zhou Qing's side, saying: "I think so too, your yellow hair always makes me think of..."

Lu Yaoyao just said this, and felt a bit nauseous.

Last time at the Jade Dining Hall, she didn't eat much and left like fleeing.

Although I have also reached the time to comprehend the realm, I will never comprehend a perverted shit realm like yours.

Shen Yunzhou rolled his eyes directly and said: "Saying as if you are Brother Zhou's daughter, and you look down on me?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao's body suddenly trembled, and then her heart beat wildly.

She secretly looked up at Zhou Qing's angular side face, gritted her teeth, and said: "Brother Zhou will definitely be an extremely responsible good father in the future."

"If you add a cute and well-behaved daughter like me, it must be the most enviable father and daughter in the world."

After Lu Yaoyao finished speaking, she stared at Zhou Qing's reaction, her eyes full of anticipation, nervousness, and anxiety.

Zhou Qing touched his nose awkwardly.

After all, he had already guessed a bit about Lu Yaoyao's mentality; having lost her family, she always wanted to find traces of her family from people around her.

For example, her silver hair, so there were Immortal Immortal Xuanyou Xianyou Xianzi, and even No. 6 Shen Hanyi.

And all kinds of things before; I used to think she regarded me as her deceased brother, but after that monster king Hou Shan, she wanted to call me old father, and this time at the Tianji Sect, Zhou Qing understood her true thoughts.

But, girl, I am actually not much older than you, you must not have other thoughts.

Shen Yunzhou said: "I believe this, with Brother Zhou's extremely domineering realm, the women in this world who can match him can be counted on one's fingers."

Lu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, seeming to have achieved some wish, appearing extremely happy, and then cunningly said: "I think your sister is quite suitable for my Shixiong."

Zhou Qing's face changed instantly, hurriedly pulling Lu Yaoyao back, saying: "Don't make trouble."

Shen Yunzhou shook his head and shuddered exaggeratedly: "No, my sister is too ugly, not worthy of Brother Zhou!"

Lu Yaoyao: "..."

Seeing that everyone was chatting more and more off-topic, Zhou Qing hurriedly changed the subject: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

At this moment, it was finally Yan Xiaohu's turn to speak; mainly because he had no sense of participation in the topic the two were chatting about just now.

At this moment: "Old Four, you are smarter, see how these three questions should be answered?"

Looking at the note handed over by Yan Xiaohu, Zhou Qing was stunned: "Aren't these the questions those two monks asked at the Jin Leizong?"

Yan Xiaohu nodded repeatedly, envious: "You really know, also, that time the whole sect high-level held a meeting, only you participated in the whole process, even Junior Sister Lu was kicked out."

Afterward, Yan Xiaohu told Cao Zhengyang's plan.

Now on the sect side, almost all core and true disciples are secretly preparing.

It's just that it's probably not easy to reach the answer the monk wants.

"I have heard about the specific situation, although I don't know what they are looking for, but Jiyuan Temple is a thunderous existence in the Tianyun Holy Dynasty."

"It is a Buddhist holy land with a history of ten thousand years, with many strong people under the sect, and there are more than thirty Soul Severance realm masters sitting in town."

"And that Jueming has already stepped into the Soul Severance realm for many years, and is the third-ranked person among the top ten venerable ones in Jiyuan Temple!" Shen Yunzhou reminded.

Zhou Qing immediately turned his head to look at Shen Huangmao, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Ji, Jiyuan Temple? Those two monks, one big and one small, are from Jiyuan Temple?" Zhou Qing was shocked.
