~21 min read 4,023 words

After hearing this, Zhou Qing finally understood.

"Oh, this is someone who wants to be a Prince Consort. Not bad, Zhou Shixiong. When you are doing well in the Imperial Dynasty, don't forget to get me an official position!"

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows, a bad smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of teasing.

Yan Yan Xiaohu immediately smiled: "Try, try, but the matter at hand is not even a start yet. The most urgent task is to attract her attention first."

"That's natural, but what does this have to do with whether I show up tomorrow or not?" Zhou Qing then showed doubt and asked.

Yan Yan Xiaohu, upon hearing this, had a copper mirror in his hand at some point, then took it in front of the two and asked: "What did you see from this?"

Zhou Qing looked carefully and said: "Except for the two of us, there is nothing else."

"This is called nothing else? Clearly you are a little bit more handsome than me. My round face, and these single-eyelid small eyes, although also romantic, compared to you, I always feel it's a bit lacking." Yan Yan Xiaohu muttered with unwillingness.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Understood, this is afraid that I will compare him down.

Okay, for the sake of your happiness, Third Zhou Shixiong, I won't show up tomorrow.

"However, there are many people in our sect with outstanding appearance, like Li Li Daoxuan and He Han from Shenyue Peak, and the chief disciples of other peaks. It seems that missing one of me won't have much impact!" Zhou Qing said after hesitating for a moment.

Yan Yan Xiaohu scratched his head, looking somewhat irritable: "That's true, this group of shameless people, I don't know how they grew up. But maybe that Ninth Princess likes my style. Li Li Daoxuan is good-looking, but hasn't Lu Lu Yaoyao been looking for you to play?"

Zhou Qing was speechless.

How did it get to me again?

"Then give me an idea, besides this outfit, what other ways can attract the girl's attention?" Yan Yan Xiaohu hurriedly looked at Zhou Qing, his eyes full of pleading. After all, in his opinion, Zhou Qing was much more experienced than himself.

Facing Yan Yan Xiaohu's gaze, Zhou Qing pondered, then said: "When she arrives at our Taiqingmen, I don't know how many people will come to join the fun, all wanting to see the style of this Imperial Princess."

"If it were you, with so many people watching, you would definitely be dazzled, let alone being remembered in her heart, unless——"

"Unless what?" Yan Yan Xiaohu asked eagerly.

Zhou Qing said: "Unless, you are the first person she meets."

Yan Yan Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes instantly lit up: "You mean, let me block her halfway?"

"Not block, it's a chance encounter. For example, you just happened to help some villagers solve a problem that has troubled them for many years, and then it happened to be seen by the Princess and others, or..."

"Understood, understood, Old Four, you really have a way!" Before Zhou Qing finished speaking, Yan Yan Xiaohu excitedly hugged Zhou Qing and started spinning around, laughing loudly, as if he had already embraced the beauty at this moment.

"Cough, cough——" Just at this moment, a cough came.

The two were shocked and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.

Only to see a white-haired old woman standing not far away at some point. Yan Yan Xiaohu's face instantly turned pale.

Zhou Qing was also full of embarrassment and hurriedly bowed: "Greetings, Supreme Elder!"

Yan Yan Xiaohu was in a mess and hurriedly followed to pay respects.

Elder Duanmu Shu said: "Zhou Qing, I have something to find you for..."

"Old Four, Supreme Elder is looking for you, what are you still stunned for?"

Before Elder Duanmu Shu finished speaking, Yan Yan Xiaohu pushed Zhou Qing to the front and then respectfully said: "Supreme Elder is looking for Old Four, there must be some confidential matter, it is not convenient for the junior to listen, I will take my leave."

After saying this, he ran away without a trace.

This scene made Zhou Qing dumbfounded, and even Elder Duanmu Shu couldn't help but show a bitter smile.

"Is this child necessary? But looking at his speed, it should not be far from the Soul Formation realm, not bad!"

After Elder Duanmu Shu finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Qing again and smiled: "Still the same, after all, you have more experience."

Zhou Qing raised his head violently, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This is really what you want, and it comes. Thanks to having simulated many times in 【Shenxu Tiangong】, it finally came in handy.

Seeing Zhou Qing's expression, Elder Duanmu Shu also felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, wool-pulling is not like this, but there is really no better way at the moment.

Last time it failed, and she was injured not lightly. After making full preparations this time, she still wanted to try again.

"I won't give you cultivation techniques, greed is not good. These are five mid-grade spirit stones, as a reward for this time."

After Elder Duanmu Shu finished speaking, she handed over the five spirit stones.

After all, after Zhou Qing came out last time, he was exhausted and even asked her for two mid-grade spirit stones in a roundabout way.

As for the 'Silver Dragon Hand' and 'Cang Lei Sword Art', these two cultivation techniques alone were enough for him to cultivate with peace of mind.

Looking at these spirit stones, Zhou Qing felt somewhat embarrassed instead.

"This is what you deserve. It is mainly because the matter of the wandering souls inside is truly strange. Up to now, we haven't found out where they came from." Elder Duanmu Shu said while stuffing the spirit stones into Zhou Qing's hand.

Zhou Qing had to accept it.

You'd better not find out. It seems that this cave heaven will be my iron rice bowl in the future.

"This disciple will do his best!" Zhou Qing bowed and said.

Elder Duanmu Shu was full of satisfaction after hearing this.

"Then let's go!" After speaking, Elder Duanmu Shu took Zhou Qing and headed straight for the cave heaven...

When they came out of a large cauldron, besides Zhou Qing, there were Sect Master Cao Cao Zhengyang and two other Jin Dan realm disciples.

As for Lu Lu Yaoyao and the others, they were nowhere to be seen.

"Greetings, Shibo, greetings, two Shixiongs!" Zhou Qing bowed.

Cao Cao Zhengyang said: "Zhou Qing, you have worked hard. This time it is only you alone, so the probability of attracting those wandering souls should drop a lot. Don't worry, if something happens, they will enter to save you in the first time."

Zhou Qing nodded. Can't you wish me well?

Afterwards, Elder Duanmu Shu handed Zhou Qing a full six Yang Fire Talismans, just in case.

"Then this disciple will go!" After Zhou Qing bowed, he resolutely stepped into it.

Watching Zhou Qing's lonely back disappear into the bronze door, Elder Duanmu Shu sighed for a long time.

"I don't know how that guy Xiao Mo is scolding me behind my back. Always taking his disciples to take risks is indeed immoral." Elder Duanmu Shu muttered to herself.

Cao Cao Zhengyang hurriedly said: "You must not think so. Junior Brother Mo is actually extremely open-minded. It is mainly because Zhou Qing, this child, really has experience, and the gravity zone is also a kind of tempering for him. I will compensate him more in the future."

Elder Duanmu Shu didn't speak anymore, her face full of worry.

Afterwards, she asked via voice transmission: "How did you investigate what this child said before?"

Cao Cao Zhengyang shook his head.

Now he only hopes that this child had auditory hallucinations at that time. Of course, he cannot take it lightly and is still secretly searching and testing.

Now that the Cangyan Dao Palace and the other force are already taking action against the Taiqingmen, he must maintain extreme vigilance. External troubles are easy to deal with, but internal worries are fatal.

At the same time, as soon as Zhou Qing stepped into the gravity zone, the broken sword in his hand instantly appeared.

As his mind stirred slightly, his personal panel emerged.

【Name: Zhou Qing】

【Age: Nineteen】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Great Perfection】

【Heart Method: Taiqing Xuanqi Jue】

【Talent Skills: Daily Appraisal,

Heart-Mirror Vision—LV3 (138/300),

Lower Presence—LV3 (21/100)】

【Skill Fragments: 1/3 (Cannot be obtained)】

Although the ignore point has a 20% probability of being ignored by the Jin Dan realm after upgrading to level 3, the probability of being discovered is still quite high.

It seems that I have to find a good opportunity to refresh the points.

This time, after walking less than ten meters, the whistling sound of wandering souls came from the depths of the passage.

Under Zhou Qing's gaze, soon three Foundation Establishment realm Great Perfection led a group of Qi Condensation realm wandering souls rushing over.

Looking at their eyes staring at him, Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile.

"There is only one person in the entire passage, it should be aimed at me. I knew that luck wouldn't be this good every time. Now it seems that the probability falls on that 10%."

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, then immediately prepared for battle.

By the time those wandering souls were about to get close, lightning exploded instantly, and the sound of rumbling echoed in the entire passage.

And the Supreme Elder and Sect Master outside the passage, after hearing the sound of battle, couldn't help but show worry on their faces...

Not long after, Zhou Qing leaned on the stone mill, panting heavily, his whole body already soaked, but a happy smile appeared on his face.

"It's still four waves of attacks, but it was a cup of tea faster than when simulating in 【Shenxu Tiangong】. It's mainly because these Yang Fire Talismans blocked some wandering souls, and my own strength still needs to be improved."

This time, Zhou Qing didn't recover by absorbing spirit stones, but after a short rest, he pushed the stone mill and walked towards the depths of the passage.

Familiar with the road, he placed the stone mill at the entrance, and after hearing the sound from the passage, he wrapped cloth strips on his feet and walked tentatively for two steps.

After confirming that there was really no danger, he hurriedly ran into the passage.

Not long after, he really saw those more than a dozen Spirit Accumulation Mushrooms, pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly picked them all carefully and put them into the jade box.

Looking at the end of the passage close at hand, Zhou Qing didn't hesitate at all, chose to retreat, and wiped away all the traces he left behind.

Afterwards, he returned the stone mill to its original position, ensured that no flaws were left, and then turned it counterclockwise to lift the gravity zone.

Then, he took tired steps and walked out slowly.

Just as he walked out of the cave entrance, the sunlight was dazzling, and Zhou Qing subconsciously raised his hand to cover it.

Immediately afterwards, two figures fell rapidly.

"Are you okay?" Elder Duanmu Shu asked hurriedly, and checked Zhou Qing's injuries in the first time.

Fortunately, except for the spiritual power being almost exhausted, there was nothing serious.

Zhou Qing was full of fatigue, hurriedly took a step back, and said: "Back to Supreme Elder, Shibo, this disciple has fulfilled his mission, the gravity has been lifted."

Hearing this, Cao Cao Zhengyang praised him.

"Good child, not bad, not bad!"

Elder Duanmu Shu was also full of relief. From the beginning to now, this child has never let them down.

Afterwards, she looked at Cao Cao Zhengyang and said: "That's fine, you take them out first, and leave the rest to me."

Cao Cao Zhengyang said: "I'll go and come back. You were injured last time, so having someone to take care of you is always good."

Elder Duanmu Shu agreed after a brief hesitation.

Afterwards, Cao Cao Zhengyang took Zhou Qing and the other two to leave the cave heaven and head outside...

In the evening, Zhou Qing looked at a pile of spirit stones in front of him and began to make plans.

"Now I have one hundred and one mid-grade spirit stones, and low-grade spirit stones won't be counted for now, that's just the old hen's food. Before breaking through to the Jin Dan realm, I shouldn't enter 【Shenxu Tiangong】 again."

"Thirteen Spirit Accumulation Mushrooms, plus these mid-grade spirit stones, should be enough for me to condense two Golden Cores."

After calculating this account, Zhou Qing sighed lightly.

Still too poor, I wish I could make a fortune.

"The Seventh Imperial Prince and Ninth Princess of the Sacred Martial Dynasty are coming tomorrow, and Eldest Zhou Shixiong should also come out of seclusion. I wonder where Third Zhou Shixiong is now?"

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, then picked up a Spirit Accumulation Mushroom and started to absorb and refine it directly.

The original Spirit Accumulation Mushroom is much better than being refined into a Foundation Establishment Pill.

…………

The next day, the disciples of other peaks of the Taiqingmen learned from their own masters that people from the Sacred Martial Dynasty had come, and they all ran out to join the fun curiously.

"Wow, Yuan Shijie Shi Zhen, you are so beautiful today!"

When Lu Lu Yaoyao took a casual glance, she saw a woman flying over on a sword in the air.

Today's Shi Zhen was wearing a light blue flowing fairy dress, the skirt fluttering, and her long hair hanging on her shoulders like a waterfall, dotted with a few exquisite hair accessories, shining with a faint light under the sun.

Lu Lu Yaoyao's eyes widened, full of amazement, and she hurriedly stepped forward to praise.

Shi Zhen couldn't help but blush with shyness.

"Lu Shimei Lu, don't tease me, it's just... just like usual." Shi Zhen's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of embarrassment.

She pursed her lips slightly, but her hands were unconsciously playing with the corners of her clothes.

Lu Lu Yaoyao smiled and whispered: "Yuan Shijie Shi, are you thinking of being a Prince Consort's wife? I heard Eldest Zhou Shixiong say that the Seventh Imperial Prince is talented and martial, and is deeply loved by the Emperor..."

"Nothing of the sort, don't talk nonsense!" Before Lu Lu Yaoyao finished speaking, Shi Zhen hurriedly interrupted.

But Lu Lu Yaoyao's eyes were full of teasing.

It must be, otherwise you wouldn't dress up early or late, but today people from the Sacred Martial Dynasty came, and you dressed up so beautifully, it must be to attract the attention of that Seventh Imperial Prince.

"Guess who I am?"

A pair of hands suddenly covered Lu Lu Yaoyao's eyes from behind and asked.

Lu Lu Yaoyao sighed: "Eldest Zhou Shixiong, you are too childish."

Li Li Daoxuan had to let go and jumped out from behind: "As expected of Little Lu Shimei, you can even guess this."

And when Shi Zhen saw the black things around Lu Lu Yaoyao's eye sockets, she was slightly stunned.

"Lu Shimei Shi, you are indeed very beautiful today!" He Han appeared at some point and made a gesture of silence to her.

Looking at the five big men from Shenyue Peak, and Lu Yaoyao who knew nothing about everything, Shi Zhen didn't know what had happened.

Couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that there are five guys who are afraid that someone will be targeted by the Seventh Imperial Prince of the Sacred Martial Dynasty.

But these dark circles are quite good!

Shi Zhen also saw through it but didn't say it.

Soon, Lu Lu Yaoyao looked around, somewhat puzzled.

"Why didn't Zhou Zhou Shixiong come today? Yan Zhou Shixiong, who likes to join the fun, doesn't seem to be there either. Do they not know?" Lu Lu Yaoyao suddenly said.

Shi Zhen's heart stirred and said: "It's possible, why don't I go to Little Spirit Peak and find them."

"Yuan Shijie Shi, I'll go with you!" Lu Lu Yaoyao hurriedly said.

"No!"

The five people from Shenyue Peak said in unison, directly scaring the two women.

Li Li Daoxuan couldn't help but cough dryly and said: "Lu Shimei Shi, didn't you add the contact information of Zhou Shidi and Yan Shidi? Just ask directly. Besides, people from the Sacred Martial Dynasty are about to arrive, and Little Spirit Peak is relatively far."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's what we mean!" He Han and the others hurriedly echoed.

Shi Zhen hesitated for a while and said: "That, I went out in a hurry today, maybe... forgot to take the token. I'd better go to Little Spirit Peak and see for myself."

"Why don't you go quickly and come back quickly? Little Lu Shimei, you don't have to go. Didn't you say you really want to see what the Imperial people look like? Otherwise, we should be discussing cultivation problems now, and we wouldn't be staying here," Li Li Daoxuan suggested.

Lu Lu Yaoyao shook her head: "I'm not interested now, I'd better go to Little Spirit Peak with Yuan Shijie Shi and see."

The five looked at each other and said in unison: "Then we will accompany you, just to take care of each other. After all, assassinations still happen from time to time."

Lu Lu Yaoyao thought about it and agreed. Afterwards, several people left this place and headed towards Little Spirit Peak.

Not long after, after registration, the seven people went up the mountain. Just as they reached the middle of the mountainside, they saw Zhou Qing walking the chicken.

And facing the seven people who appeared suddenly, Zhou Qing was also startled.

Especially Lu Lu Yaoyao, what's going on with your two dark circles?

Shi Zhen looked around, her eyes somewhat disappointed.

Lu Lu Yaoyao hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Zhou Zhou Shixiong, people from the Sacred Martial Dynasty are coming to visit our Taiqingmen today, why didn't you go?"

"I'm not in the mood today, your eyes..." Zhou Qing was about to ask what happened to her eyes, when he saw the five big men behind him squinting their eyes, looking unkindly and making a gesture of silence to him.

Forget it, less trouble is better than more trouble!

"Mainly I don't like joining the fun, um, that's it!" Zhou Qing had to lie.

Lu Lu Yaoyao didn't believe it. You don't like joining the fun?

If others don't know, don't I know?

But looking at Zhou Qing's somewhat evasive eyes, Lu Lu Yaoyao's heart suddenly stirred, and she smiled: "Zhou Zhou Shixiong, you wouldn't be afraid of something, would you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I walk straight and sit upright, and I haven't done anything guilty, what am I afraid of? I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!"

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he hurriedly bent down to pick up the old hen and left in a hurry.

Looking at Zhou Qing's back as if fleeing, Lu Lu Yaoyao was full of doubts.

There is a problem, there is definitely a problem!

Turning her head, she saw the five Shixiongs immediately showing smiles, some looking at the sky, some looking at the ground, and some looking at Yuan Shijie Shi Zhen.

"One by one, they are all weird!"

No way, Zhou Qing didn't pay attention to them, so several people had to go down the mountain.

…………

Watching that they finally returned to the foot of Shenyue Peak, Li Daoxuan and the others were still rejoicing that Little Junior Sister was not targeted by that Imperial kid, when they saw several familiar figures coming towards them.

The leader was none other than Yan Yan Xiaohu from Little Spirit Peak.

At this moment, Yan Yan Xiaohu was dressed in red and green, but his right arm was wrapped in a bloody bandage, and he was leaning on a crutch, talking loudly about something.

And beside him was a man in a moon-white brocade robe.

The man was handsome, playing with a folding fan in his hand, and always kept a smile on his face, and his whole body exuded a kind of noble aura born with him.

On one side of the man, there was also a girl in a skirt. She had a graceful figure, skin that could be broken by a blow, and under her curved willow eyebrows were a pair of clear eyes like autumn water.

"Orange, orange hair——"

When she saw the girl's hair with a few pearl flowers inserted in it showing an orange color, Lu Lu Yaoyao was directly stunned on the spot.

Afterwards, she hurriedly rubbed her eyes to ensure she hadn't seen it wrong.

It was actually orange, and this color looked so beautiful.

So, so...

"Brother Li, long time no see!" Just at this moment, the man also saw Li Li Daoxuan and couldn't help but greet him with a smile.

Li Li Daoxuan had to walk out and bow: "Brother Brother Yichen, long time no see!"

Xuan Yuan Brother Yichen also bowed, his words full of emotion: "It's been sixty years since we last met, you seem to be stronger."

"Stronger what stronger, still the same, always stuck at the Great Perfection of the Soul Formation realm and unable to reach Divine Transformation. On the contrary, Brother Brother Yichen came here this time, I guess it's for the Ghost Mastiff?" Li Li Daoxuan said.

Xuan Yuan Brother Yichen nodded refreshingly: "Yes, if I want to reach Divine Transformation, I can only find him, otherwise the inner demon is hard to remove."

"Inner demon? Haha, I didn't expect him to become your obsession. Speaking of which, I also want to try how strong your 'Xuan Yuan Dragon Emperor Art' is!!!"

Li Li Daoxuan said this, and suddenly a sharp sword Qi rushed into the sky, its edge unstoppable!

Looking at Xuan Yuan Brother Yichen, he stood proudly, his eyes like stars, and a surging spear Qi also erupted from his body.

The momentum of the two kept climbing, and even the surrounding air seemed to be solidified by these two powerful forces, making people breathe with difficulty.

"Cough, cough, cough, what are you doing? People are guests, kindly came to Shenyue Peak to visit Sect Master Uncle-Master first, but you blocked here to fight and kill, isn't it too impolite?"

Just at this critical moment, Yan Yan Xiaohu suddenly stood between the two and said to Li Li Daoxuan.

The two smiled at each other, then gathered their momentum.

"Tomorrow, okay?"

"Always waiting!"

Soon, Xuan Yuan Brother Yichen looked at the Ninth Princess beside him.

"Almost forgot to introduce, my Ninth Younger Sister, Xuan Yuan Miss Muqian!"

At this moment, the woman on the side stepped forward and bowed to Li Li Daoxuan: "Xuan Yuan Miss Muqian, greetings to Brother Li!"

Li Li Daoxuan hurriedly returned the salute: "Greetings to the Ninth Highness."

"What Highness or not, if you don't mind, Brother Li can just call me Miss Miss Muqian. I am actually just following Seventh Brother to stroll around this time." Xuan Yuan Miss Muqian smiled.

Li Li Daoxuan had to nod: "That's fine, Brother Brother Yichen and I can be considered old acquaintances, so I will call you Miss Miss Muqian. Although our Taiqingmen cannot compare to the Imperial Capital, it also has a unique flavor. If you need a guide, you can find me at any time."

Xuan Yuan Miss Muqian said: "Many thanks to Brother Li, but as for a guide, I already have one here. He is a very kind and enthusiastic person."

After Xuan Yuan Miss Muqian finished speaking, she looked at Yan Yan Xiaohu on the side.
