Chapter 293

Cao Zhengyang, who had been waiting outside, walked in with big strides after sending Fu Kui away, with a bit of heroism on his face.

"Take it! If you lack anything in the future, just tell your Senior Uncle. How could our Taiqingmen Sect be stingy with others over spirit stones!"

Before the words had even faded, a storage bag was thrown precisely into Zhou Qing's hand, and then he turned and left with a proud face.

Zhou Qing caught it subconsciously, and the moment he opened it, his pupils shrank violently.

Inside were twenty-eight five-element spirit stones, of which seven were wood-attribute, six each were fire-attribute and water-attribute, and the rest were earth-attribute spirit stones.

Master mentioned to him more than two months ago that the Sect Master Senior Uncle issued an ultimatum to those sects that had once attached themselves to the Tianji Sect, using spirit stones to exchange for protection and settling old accounts later.

But he didn't expect those inconspicuous small sects to be so rich.

Looking at the Sect Master Senior Uncle's retreating back, Zhou Qing's eye sockets felt slightly hot.

Then he bowed solemnly and whispered to himself: "To be able to enter the Taiqingmen Sect in this life is the greatest blessing of this disciple."

For the sake of safety, Zhou Qing fed all twelve wood-attribute spirit stones to the Dao-Comprehension Ancient Tea Tree.

Then he carefully screened the forbidden inheritance left by Senior Xuan Qingzi, and soon finalized a three-color forbidden array called "Zhou Tian Star Dou Array".

The magnificent sect-protecting array of the Tianji Sect was still fresh in his memory. Although he is now a gatekeeper of a third-grade array master, he has barely condensed three thousand spirit seals.

But he wanted to challenge his own limits to see if he could successfully refine it.

If he could refine this three-color forbidden array, he could not only repay the sect's kindness but also gift the existing two-color magic array to the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, which could be considered icing on the cake.

At that time, the Taiqingmen Sect, the Tianji Sect, and the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong would stand in a tripod, supplemented by interconnected teleportation arrays, enough to gain a firm foothold in the Eastern Region.

In this way, in a certain sense, it can be considered a cunning rabbit with three burrows.

Afterwards, Zhou Qing found his Senior Uncle and Master and listed his ideas and required materials.

After the two looked at the list, their eyes were full of gratification and support.

"Nearly half of these materials are in the Tianji Sect's warehouse, and I will personally go to the Wan Xiang Auction House for the rest!" Cao Zhengyang scanned the list, his tone firm.

Mo Xingjian felt a bit distressed. After all, the last time he refined the two-color magic array, it made the fourth son not rest much for a whole year.

Now the difficulty of refining this three-color magic array is more than several times that of before. A slight carelessness could damage the foundation.

Zhou Qing smiled heartily, his eyes full of confidence: "The disciple is at least the fourth third-grade array master in our fourth-grade cultivation country. Isn't working hard to cultivate arrays just to be able to hold up a sky for the sect at a critical moment?"

After the two heard this, their hearts were full of pride.

Afterwards, Zhou Qing mentioned Shen Yunzhou's needs to his Senior Uncle.

After Cao Zhengyang heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn: "We will discuss this matter after I return from Lingyun Prefecture."

"Currently, we have just taken over the Tianji Sect. Many disciples are insincere and even secretly collude with other forces, intending to launch a rebellion."

"And there are six of your Senior Uncles left there to suppress the situation, so the power is a bit scattered. Plus, Sikong Yan is restless because of the restraint of heart blood. If we provoke the Jin Leizong at this time, I am afraid of being attacked from both sides, and the situation will be difficult to clean up."

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and took out all the supreme-grade spirit stones that Cao Zhengyang had given him twice.

"The three-color sect-protecting array is already top-notch in the Shengwu Dynasty. The required materials are all rare items with no market price, so the expenses will inevitably be astonishing."

"Senior Uncle, don't decline first. Except for the wood-attribute spirit stones, I kept a few fire-attribute and water-attribute ones for myself, and the sect needs the rest more at the moment."

"Once the two Soul Severance realm seniors, Lu Yuanzhi and Lu Yuanjiu, move in, the sect's expenses will only be greater. You must accept these spirit stones."

Cao Zhengyang looked at Zhou Qing's sincere eyes, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Then he looked at Mo Xingjian with envy.

You really have accepted a good disciple.

The Taiqingmen Sect has such an outstanding younger generation, passing on the torch, and the future is promising.

Finally, he sighed longly and took the spirit stones, because the sect really didn't have many spirit stones left.

And there are many things that need to be rewarded and punished next.

"By the way, after Xianyou Xianyou Xianzi Xuanyou took the elixir you gave, the poison of the 'Spirit-Sealing Forbidden Method' has been solved."

"Now she is using massive amounts of spirit elixirs to nourish her origin. In another month or two, she will be able to fully recover. At that time, I am afraid she will bring heavy gifts to thank you in person."

Soon, Cao Zhengyang suddenly thought of something and said.

Zhou Qing smiled indifferently, and didn't have much feeling in his heart.

"Okay, then I will prepare first. By the way, regarding Nannan, you should prepare early!"

Cao Zhengyang exhorted Mo Xingjian before leaving.

Mo Xingjian nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will start arranging it now and come up with a comprehensive plan as soon as possible."

Mentioning Nannan, Zhou Qing sighed secretly.

I don't know what that lunatic is thinking.

In the past few months, I haven't seen him online in the Shenxu Tiangong, and there is also the white-clothed Lin Jin. I don't know where he went?

Immediately after, Zhou Qing told Shen Yunzhou about the Sect Master Senior Uncle's idea. He understood it and was not in a hurry.

He also planned to go to that Gobi again to see. Although Lei Wuji blew up the entire cave at the beginning, maybe there is still corpse liquid left.

Just like that, more than a month later, the Dao-Comprehension Ancient Tea Tree once again exuded that refreshing ethereal aura.

Zhou Qing looked at the spirit light flowing from the tea tree, unable to hide the expectation and tension in his eyes.

"I hope everything goes well!" he whispered, and then began seclusion again.

Two months later!

Outside the Taiqingmen Sect mountain gate!

Seven figures came here. Looking at the towering mountain gate in front of them, everyone had complex expressions.

Xianyou Xianyou Xianzi Xuanyou, who was at the head, stood tall. Although she had recovered her vitality, she couldn't hide her silver-white hair and the crisscrossing wrinkles on her face.

Although the poison of the "Spirit-Sealing Forbidden Method" was solved, the traces of time erosion could not be erased after all.

The four Supreme Elders, including Yun Jing who accompanied her, looked at the prosperous Taiqingmen Sect in front of them, their hearts full of mixed feelings.

Both are the five major sects of the Eastern Region. One is like the rising sun, while the other is like the setting sun.

Thinking of this, Yun Jing couldn't help but look at Zhu He and Yuan Ya who were brought along.

Although the former had comprehended the realm of understanding and entered the Divine Transformation, her personality was isolated and taciturn, making it difficult for her to take the lead.

The latter is only in the mid-stage of Soul Formation. Because she is a ground-vein Foundation Establishment, she probably won't even be able to break through to Divine Transformation in the future.

But she happened to have intricate entanglements with Zhou Qing, especially after Ji Xuan's body was destroyed by Zhou Qing, she even seized her body.

There must be resentment and unwillingness in her heart.

If she is listed as the next Sect Master, she will definitely be taken care of by the Taiqingmen Sect, and the benefits will be huge.

But a Soul Formation realm Sect Master is afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, and it is not even as good as some small sect masters. The disciples will only have no sense of security.

So now it is truly a dilemma!

"Are the gifts ready?" Xianyou Xianyou Xianzi Xuanyou turned slightly, her voice steady.

Zhu He and Yuan Ya hurriedly stepped forward and responded in unison: "Ready!"

Xianyou Xianyou Xianzi Xuanyou nodded and bowed deeply toward the mountain gate barrier: "Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong Xuanyou, specifically here to visit Little Sect Master Zhou Qing!"

The barrier rippled with two colors, and Wu Zhu walked out with his hands behind his back. Seeing the respectful appearance of everyone, he couldn't help but straighten his chest: "So it's Sect Master Xuanyou. Wait a moment, I will go in and report."

After speaking, he went back to lie on the bamboo chair, picked up the teacup and sipped it, very leisurely.

As for the other guarding disciples, they also snorted coldly, their eyes full of mockery.

Where did the arrogance of kidnapping our sect's Little Sect Master go?

Do you know what it means that thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi?

It wasn't until sunset that Wu Zhu informed Mo Xingjian unhurriedly.

Now Senior Brother Gao Xuan is still in seclusion, the Sect Master is far away in Lingyun Prefecture, the six Peak Masters are guarding the Tianji Sect, the eight Supreme Elders are guarding Tian Shu Zi and Ling Xuzi, and there is even that dried corpse.

The affairs of the entire Taiqingmen Sect once again fell on Mo Xingjian's shoulders.

And deliberately leaving the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong people out in the cold was the instruction of the Sect Master before leaving.

Not long after, Mo Xingjian arrived late, and when he stepped out of the mountain gate, he was full of smiles: "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xuanyou for being reborn!"

Xianyou Xianyou Xianzi Xuanyou hurriedly returned the salute, her tone sincere: "Thanks to Little Friend Zhou's life-saving grace, I am here specifically to thank you in person."

"My fourth son is still in seclusion, I'm afraid he can't welcome you in person. Everyone, please come in and rest first." Mo Xingjian gestured.

Xianyou Xianyou Xianzi Xuanyou's expression was respectful: "Little Sect Master's cultivation is important, how dare we disturb him? Being welcomed by Peak Master Mo is already an honor."

After speaking, everyone followed Mo Xingjian into the mountain gate.

At the same time, in the quiet room!

The blood light on Zhou Qing's body rose and fell like a tide. In his sea of consciousness, a huge blood phoenix raised its head and hissed in the surging blood flames.

The five scarlet feathers on its chest trembled violently, entwining with each other like living things, and the viscous blood beads oozing from the feather tips intertwined into strange runes in the air.

The moment the runes took shape, the sea of consciousness shook violently, and the flames around the blood phoenix soared into the sky, turning into a blood-colored pillar of light piercing the dome.

And around the blood phoenix was a world shrouded in endless blood curtains, which was purely a strange world intertwined with dense Dao patterns.

Zhou Qing slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of ecstasy.

With a thought, a pair of huge blood wing phantoms suddenly appeared behind him.

The wings were entwined with scarlet runes, and every pattern was spitting out blood-colored mist. Although it was only a phantom, the momentum was astonishing.

Zhou Qing's mind turned slightly, and the blood wings flapped slightly. The air instantly made a harsh tearing sound, and several scarlet cracks were drawn in the void one after another.

"Is this the blood wing phantom? It's truly domineering!" Zhou Qing whispered to himself.

"As long as you kill the enemies within the range, under its wrapping, it will automatically condense 【Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystal】."

"This Tribulation Crystal contains the purest blood and spirit power of the deceased, and refining it has no side effects, which is just right for the massive spirit power I need for the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top!"

"In the future, breaking through to the late stage of Divine Transformation, Great Completion, and even Soul Severance will all depend on it. This is the terror of script-level divine abilities!"

As Zhou Qing's mind converged, the strange phenomena in the sea of consciousness gradually subsided.

Looking at the Dao-Comprehension Ancient Tea Tree that had calmed down again, Zhou Qing sighed softly.

This time, thanks to placing twelve supreme-grade wood-attribute spirit stones, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to condense the fifth strand of Phoenix Dao patterns completely.

And this comprehension took two full months, which was twenty days more than last time.

"Comprehending the sixth strand of Dao patterns, I'm afraid it will take at least fifteen, or even twenty wood-attribute spirit stones, and the time will also increase to three months!"

Zhou Qing smacked his lips: "No wonder Second Grandfather said that being able to meet and master a script-level divine ability in one's life is already a great opportunity."

"I almost relied on cheating to cultivate to five strands. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to reach."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but think of Shen Hanyi at this moment. I don't know how her cultivation is progressing?

With her aptitude, wanting to rely on conventional methods to cultivate script-level divine abilities, I'm afraid it's not easy either.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity in the future to persuade her to look for other cultivation methods.

Putting away the Dao-Comprehension Ancient Tea Tree, Zhou Qing stepped out of the quiet room and took a deep breath of fresh air.

But the joy that had just arisen was soon replaced by worry: "Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. But where can I find a large number of enemies to condense the Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystal?"

Looking at the misty peaks in the distance, he couldn't help but worry.

Now that five strands of Phoenix Dao patterns have been condensed, the range of the formed blood wing phantom is only fifty feet.

And the key to condensing 【Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystal】 is that the deceased needs to contain abundant essence and blood.

In other words, the target must be a cultivator with higher cultivation, and the quantity must be large enough, otherwise it is impossible to extract the Tribulation Crystal at all.

"But for no reason, I can't go and slaughter others, wouldn't that make me a demon?" Zhou Qing shook his head with a bitter smile.

This point is a bit like brushing ignore points.

It's just that the tense and exciting environment has been replaced by cultivators who are eyeing him covetously.

"The only way is to find those unintelligent demon beasts to try first!" Zhou Qing's eyes flashed.

But script-level divine abilities are relatively sensitive and must not be easily exposed.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out a map to examine it carefully, and his gaze finally locked on the endless beast mountains at the border.

"The demon beasts there are wild and numerous, and I have wandered around several times before, so I am generally familiar with the terrain!"

Since the Spider Emperor died, now that huge area is only guarded by three demon emperors: the Dragon Emperor, the Qingluo Beast, and the Weilun Demon.

"At present, the situation between the Jin Leizong and the Cangyan Dao Palace is unclear, plus the three-color sect-protecting array is about to be refined, so the demand for spirit power and spiritual power is higher."

"So no matter what, I must enter the late stage of Divine Transformation as soon as possible. At that time, I, Zhou, will be the number one person under Soul Severance!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing's momentum soared, his clothes rustled, and a sharp edge burst out from his eyes.

"Prepare, prepare, and then get on my beloved little flying boat and head to the border!"

Whoosh!

At the island outside the border, two figures broke through the sky and landed heavily.

One looked gentle as jade, but hidden sharpness was hidden all over his body.

The other was hunched over, with white hair, and under a black cloak, half of his blue-gray face was covered with strange patterns.

As the spirit power flowed, the patterns wandered and moved under the skin like living things.

The old man scanned the island gloomily, suddenly releasing a terrifying spiritual sense of the late Soul Severance stage, sweeping across the entire island like a tide.

A moment later, he frowned and snorted coldly: "This is the island you mentioned? I think it's very ordinary!"

Watching Yan Sen's mouth hooked into a smile: "Eighth Uncle, this is exactly its mystery."

"If I hadn't secretly followed Hanyi at the beginning, I wouldn't have discovered that this place actually hides a strange mystical realm that even Soul Severance experts can be deceived by."

Yan Weiyi shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of hatred for iron not becoming steel: "Secretly following? You are too mischievous! Is it worth it for a Shen Hanyi?"

"Our Yan family is one of the top three existences among the eight super families in the Southern Phoenix State. What kind of woman do you want that you can't have?"

Watching Yan Sen's eyes flashed with a paranoid color, seeming to be very obsessed, and said: "Eighth Uncle, you don't understand the sense of conquest that arises after being ignored and rejected by others."

He licked his lips, his eyes full of twisted desire.

"Being able to personally tear apart the cold disguise of an ice beauty like Shen Hanyi will give me a huge sense of satisfaction."

Yan Weiyi waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, you young people play wildly, I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. Go see the place."

Afterwards, Watching Yan Sen led his Eighth Uncle to the lake in the center of the island.

"Eighth Uncle, wait a moment—"

After Watching Yan Sen finished speaking, his fingers suddenly pointed in the void, and six dark purple streams of light shot from his fingertips into the bottom of the lake.

The next moment, the originally calm lake surface actually rippled with light, and was drawn into a vortex, forming a huge vortex.

Immediately after, from the center of the vortex, a thick six-color pillar of light soared into the sky.

The colors intertwined with each other, dazzling, breaking through the clouds, exuding a majestic aura that made people palpitate.

In addition, in a corner of the array, a phantom of an old man slowly emerged.

However, the body was semi-transparent, looming under the illumination of the six-color light, as if it would dissipate at any time.

Seeing this scene, Yan Weiyi's pupils shrank, and his wrinkled face flushed with excitement.

"Six-color array, it's actually a six-color array! Look, there seems to be a different world inside, and it seems that there are living things flashing by. This is really a mystical realm!"

Yan Weiyi couldn't help but shout.

Watching Yan Sen was also breathing rapidly and excited.

When he followed Shen Hanyi here, he saw that she couldn't solve this six-color array and had to leave helplessly.

Afterwards, he tried to crack it with brute force, but didn't expect to seal the array permanently.

He thought he had done it without anyone knowing, but didn't expect that when it was Shen Hanyi's turn to solve it, she was bitten back by the array and injured.

Needless to say, she chased him for a day, and he finally managed to shake her off.

Afterwards, when he came back again, the place was silent, and the other party should have left helplessly.

But after going back for so long, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, always feeling that he had ignored something.

Sure enough, Shen Hanyi returned with a pale face, and a few days later, that guy Shen Yunzhou appeared alive and kicking.

Obviously, she successfully brought back the second shape-shifting divine medicine.

Thinking about it, it should only be here.

Thinking about it, he was sure that Shen Hanyi must have found other ways to enter the mystical realm.

Originally, he thought about coming to explore again early, but the trivial matters in the family were entangled, and it has been delayed until now.

Before leaving, he thought about it again and again, and still told this secret to his Eighth Uncle.

This is not only because Eighth Uncle and his father are own brothers, but more importantly, Eighth Uncle, as a late-stage Soul Severance expert, has comprehended a full thirty thousand spirit seals, and is only twenty thousand away from a fifth-grade array master.

With Eighth Uncle's help, the success rate of entering the mystical realm will definitely be improved a lot.

It's a pity that his father is in seclusion and cannot come together, and this matter is too important. To prevent the news from leaking, he can only secretly tell Eighth Uncle.

Just when he activated the array, his heart was still tense, ready to deal with the backlash of the array at any time.

But unexpectedly, nothing happened.

Moreover, the feeling this array gave him was completely different from when it was permanently sealed last time.

"She definitely got in successfully!" Watching Yan Sen was sure in his heart.

Yan Weiyi was also anxious, and asked impatiently: "Quick, quick, quick, where is the key? How exactly do we get in?"

Watching Yan Sen then came back to his senses and said helplessly: "Where would I have a key? Isn't this bringing you here to think of a way."

"I think of a way? You think your Eighth Uncle is the legendary six-color array master? And this array looks extremely ancient, and the spirit patterns inside are estimated to be extremely rare."

Yan Weiyi said unhappily.

Watching Yan Sen's mouth twitched fiercely.

Then what is the point of bringing you here?

To share the loot without putting in effort?

How can there be such a good thing in this world.

Seeing that Watching Yan Sen stopped talking, Yan Weiyi immediately took out more than a dozen array flags and set them up.

Seeing this, Watching Yan Sen hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Eighth Uncle, no, this array cannot be broken by brute force, and it is possible to seal it completely. My nephew has already tried it before."

Yan Weiyi had to put away the array flags again, pacing back and forth anxiously: "Then what to do? Watch a mystical realm that hasn't been developed much right in front of our eyes, but like a golden mountain locked by an iron gate, can only stare?"

Watching Yan Sen smiled: "Eighth Uncle is already a master in the field of fourth-grade array masters, and even my nephew entered this line by following you. You might as well try it first."

After Yan Weiyi heard this, he had to nod and walk forward slowly.

He stretched out his withered fingers to point in the void, and runes condensed by spirit power floated toward the array, trying to resonate with the spirit patterns in the array.

His turbid eyes stared fixedly at the flowing six-color light, muttering to himself, and the blue veins on his forehead jumped with the injection of spirit power.

And Watching Yan Sen frowned and showed a thoughtful look.

Shen Hanyi is now only just condensing ten thousand spirit seals, and he has two thousand more than her.

After he was chased away by her, what happened?

Now that even Eighth Uncle is having a hard time with this array, how did she do it?

Wait—

Soon, he thought of the two figures Shen Hanyi brought along together—Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao.

Originally thought it was a disciple Shen Hanyi accepted, but in their conversation, one called sister, one called senior, obviously not.

So, what is the role of these two people in such a confidential place?

Or, after Shen Hanyi left, she went to find them?

Could it be—

Watching Yan Sen's eyes narrowed, and a gloomy and excited light flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, not far away, the Demon Emperor Qingluo Beast poked its head out of the water, its scarlet vertical pupils full of ecstasy.

"I knew it, I knew there was a big secret here, a six-color array, that silver-haired woman, and the Peng Emperor, and now two more strangers have come."

It shook its scales and lowered its voice: "But this emperor must wait for an opportunity. The aura of these two people is too terrifying, I'm afraid one finger could crush me to death. This emperor doesn't want to follow the Spider Emperor's old path."

After the Qingluo Beast talked to itself, it dived back into the water silently.

Taiqingmen Sect!

When Mo Xingjian learned that Zhou Qing had left seclusion, he came over with a chuckle and joked: "You kid, are you deliberately hiding from people?"

Zhou Qing was confused: "Hiding from whom? What happened?"

"Yesterday, Xianyou Xianyou Xianzi Xuanyou led people and brought heavy gifts to thank you for your life-saving grace." Mo Xingjian smiled helplessly, "It just so happened that you were in seclusion, so they exchanged a few pleasantries and left."

When Zhou Qing heard this, a glimmer of expectation flashed in his eyes: "Are there wood-attribute spirit stones in the gifts?"

"Not a single one." Mo Xingjian shook his head.

Zhou Qing pretended to sigh with regret: "Then this thank-you gift is not sincere enough. By the way, Master, I plan to go to the border again in a few days, and stop by the Haomiao Prefecture to inquire about Second Senior Sister."

Mo Xingjian did not stop Zhou Qing from wanting to go out. After all, this child has his own path to take.

But talking about the Second Miss, he was really worried.
