Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

The next day.

Zhou Ling, wearing the straight robes of a disciple of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, left Xuanyuan Taoist Academy early in the morning and went to the Tiangong Department of Qingyun Immortal City.

The location of Qingyun Immortal City's Tiangong Department is not far from Xuanyuan Taoist Temple.

It is a wide courtyard.

This is also the headquarters of Qingyun Immortal City Tiangong Division.

After Zhou Ling entered the courtyard, he was led directly to a main hall by the assistant.

The decoration of the main hall is gorgeous and simple.

Zhou Ling originally thought that this time he came to Tiangong Division just to go through the entry procedures.

But he didn't expect that Qin Zhizheng actually summoned him alone.

Following the assistant, he walked along the side corridor to the main hall. The assistant went inside to report and invited him in later.

Zhou Ling entered the palace and came to a side hall. As soon as he entered, he saw Qin Zhi standing there waiting for him with a warm smile on his face.

Zhou Ling cupped his hands and saluted, "This disciple has seen Zhizheng before!"

Holding the Tiangong Department is a fourth-grade position, and generally only a fourth-grade technical mage can hold it.

Qin Zhizheng smiled and waved his hand, "Sit down and talk!"

Zhou Ling immediately sat aside.

Qin Zhizheng praised his performance in yesterday's assessment again.

Zhou Ling said modestly, "It's a bit of a fluke!"

"These are the rewards of your hard work!" Qin Zhizheng smiled, feeling even more fond of Zhou Ling when he saw that he was still so young and neither arrogant nor humble in the face of such achievements.

He immediately said, "I read your information yesterday. You are a casual cultivator and have low-grade spiritual roots. If you want to have better development in the Tiangong Division in the future, you must keep up with your cultivation techniques."

"Although you have passed the second-grade Taoist examination this time, you have only crossed the threshold to enter the Tiangong Division and do not have a real position yet."

"So, I will arrange for you to apply for a 'deacon' quota, so that you can obtain certain cultivation resources from the Tiangong Division every month, and your cultivation will progress faster."

Zhou Ling listened quietly.

"It stands to reason that you have just passed the examination, and you are still practicing Qi, so you are not yet qualified to become a deacon. But I think that although you are young, you are steady and stable, and you are a promising talent."

"So I decided to apply for a deacon position for you. Of course, you will also have to complete the tasks of the Tiangong Division."

"In addition, we must strive to establish foundation as soon as possible."

Qin Zhizheng's words were calm and straightforward, without any official airs. He spoke to Zhou Ling like an elder, following his instructions.

Zhou Ling naturally couldn't ask for such a good thing.

You know, in Lingxia Fairy City, a deacon is already an absolute master.

Holding enough power to be in the top ten.

Some people may not reach this step after decades of hard work, or even a lifetime.

And this is it!

Although he was excited in his heart, he tried his best to remain calm on the outside.

He immediately bowed his hands to Qin Zhizheng and said, "Thank you Zhizheng for the promotion. I am deeply grateful!"

Qin Zhizheng smiled slightly when he heard this, "However, this deacon is not that easy to be. There are tasks every month and performance appraisals every quarter."

"You have to be prepared. Once your performance is not up to standard, you will be eliminated!"

With that said, he handed a jade slip to Zhou Ling, "This is the situation of the deacon of the Tiangong Department. Take a look for yourself."

Zhou Ling took the jade slip with both hands and scanned it with his consciousness.

Second-grade deacons are already full-time Taoist officials within the Dao Alliance system.

Can receive the second-grade treatment from the Tiangong Division.

But now, Zhou Ling can only receive the most basic enshrinement treatment, which is a mid-grade spiritual stone and a bottle of second-grade elixir every month.

If you can complete the corresponding assessment tasks, you will receive contribution points.

These contribution points can be exchanged for other items.

You know, when he was in Lingxia Fairy City, his family of three spent almost ten low-grade spiritual stones.

One middle-grade spiritual stone this month is equivalent to a thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

This treatment is already a huge figure for ordinary casual cultivators.

Of course, for foundation-building monks and second-grade technical mages, this kind of treatment is not too much.

However, Zhou Ling was satisfied.

With this identity, the resources obtained in exchange are completely different.

Moreover, every time you receive a refining task, you will need at least two or three copies of general materials, and you only need to increase your proficiency.

Generally speaking, you can at least earn a piece of material money.

Just by receiving one or two more tasks a month, you can condense your Five Elements Thunder Body more quickly.

"See if there's anything wrong with it?"

Qin Zhizheng asked again.

"no problem!"

Zhou Ling said.

"Okay, then you can follow the assistant to go through other procedures, practice hard in the future, and strive to build the foundation as soon as possible."

"In the future, Tiangong Division, you will have the opportunity to use it!"

Deacon Qin nodded.

"Yes, enforce justice!"

Zhou Ling replied respectfully.

Then he said goodbye and left.

Under the leadership of a young assistant, he soon completed various entry procedures for the Tiangong Department.

The efficiency is quite fast.

Before noon, he returned to Xuanyuan Taoist Temple.

When he came to the training room, he sat cross-legged on the futon and then took out a storage ring from his arms.

This is something assigned by the second-grade deacon of Tiangong Division.

With a thought, he took out the items in the storage ring.

What appeared in front of him was a spiritual robe, two jade slips, a jade seal, a bottle of elixir and four second-level middle-grade swords.

The two jade slips respectively introduce some rules and regulations of the Tiangong Department.

The other one is "Second-Level Imprint Encyclopedia".

The jade seal is the status symbol of the deacon of the Tiangong Division.

In addition to symbolizing the status token, the jade seal also contains a wisp of second-grade spiritual flames sealed inside.

Although it is only a wisp, it can also be of great assistance to the weapon refiner or alchemist.

It can not only assist in refining weapons and elixirs, but also assist in cultivation.

Moreover, this kind of spiritual inflammation is extremely rare in the outside world.

This is also a kind of preferential treatment for becoming a deacon of the Tiangong Division.

The elixir is the Lingyuan Dan taken by Foundation Establishment Dan monks.

As for the four instruments, they were tasks he received.

There is also a small courtyard on Ningyuan Street not far from Tiangong Division.

"Sure enough, the Dao Alliance is still a good thing within the system!"

"Even houses have been allocated!"

"After we have a house, we will go back to Lingxia Fairy City after our vacation and take our parents back to Qingyun Fairy City."

After counting the things, Zhou Ling was thinking happily.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the assigned house is already that of a second-level mid-grade spiritual vein, which is enough to support my parents' cultivation to the point of foundation building.

Afterwards, Zhou Ling took out the jade seal and looked at it carefully.

I saw a ray of golden flame looming inside the jade seal.

[You are observing the second-grade Dao Seal, intermediate observation +1]

[You are analyzing the second-grade Dao Seal, intermediate analysis +1]

"This spiritual flame is metallic spiritual flame!"

As the information about the two talents emerged, Zhou Ling's face showed a hint of joy.

What is sealed within the jade seal is a wisp of mysterious spiritual flame, which is metallic.

Generally speaking, this kind of sealed spiritual flame has certain growth potential, but it requires the monk to continuously consume his own spiritual power.

It consumes time and energy, and the growth rate is slow.

It is completely incomparable to the two spiritual flames on Zhou Ling's body.

Its grade is equivalent to the fire lotus condensed from the green lotus fire.

But after all, it is also a kind of spiritual fire, which cannot be easily obtained.

Moreover, it is very difficult for other monks to improve their self-cultivation, but for Zhou Ling, with the talent of [Five Elements Qi-Eating Spiritual Flame], he only needs to absorb the five elements of spiritual objects to increase the spiritual inflammation.

It's fast and effective, but of course it consumes more spiritual materials.

As a stream of spiritual power was injected into the jade seal, red light flashed, and a ball of golden-red light flew out from the jade seal, spinning continuously in Zhou Ling's hand.

Then, with a thought, Zhou Ling pointed the fingers of his left hand towards the flame.

There was a soft sound of "Puff", and a wave of five-color spiritual flames swept out.

Five-color spiritual flames enveloped the red flames.

Zhou Ling plans to refine this spiritual flame and then absorb spiritual objects to increase the level of the spiritual flame.

Now that the Five Elements Spiritual Flame has reached the middle stage of the second grade, it is not too difficult to refine this ray of spiritual flame.

After burning the incense, this wisp of spiritual flame turned into a stream of light and merged into Zhou Ling's body.

A new spiritual flame cycle is formed.

Then, Zhou Ling took out another piece of second-order metallic ore and absorbed it.

[You are absorbing gold ore, physical sublimation +1, Five Elements Thunder Gang acquired spiritual body, metallicity +1]

[You are absorbing gold ore, Five Elements Thunder +1, Yaoyan +1]

"Yaoyan?"

"I hope I can grow up as soon as possible!"

Zhou Ling said with a happy face.

Although this radiant flame is only a wisp now, as long as it absorbs more fire attribute spiritual objects, it will improve very quickly.

If you can collect the five element attribute spirit flames before building the foundation, the level of the foundation building will be greatly improved.

Then, Zhou Ling's eyes glanced at several swords.

Both of these are swords with thunder attributes, and each can earn one hundred contribution points.

"It should be able to be refined within ten days!"

Zhou Ling was thinking in his mind.

After this month, the New Year is coming, and the Taoist Temple will have a half-month vacation.

And he was also planning to return to Lingxia Fairy City and take his parents to Qingyun Fairy City.

Then, he began to observe the sword and select the appropriate thunder attribute imprint.

······．

time flies.

On this day, December 25th, the Taoist temple has begun to have a holiday.

Groups of people lined up in Lingzhou Square in Qingyun Immortal City.

In front of a small spiritual boat, Zhou Ling and Wang Xin waved goodbye.

"Brother Ling, remember to give these two bottles of pills to Aunt Ru!"

Wang Xin warned.

Now that Wang Yu and the others have settled in Qingyun Fairy City, they have no plans to go back at the end of this year.

"Go back! After the New Year, I will take them to Qingyun Fairy City!"

Zhou Ling waved his hand and said.

Afterwards, after the Lingzhou monks checked the jade sign for logging into the Lingzhou, they entered the Lingzhou.

Wang Xin then went back with some reluctance.

This spiritual boat is about twenty feet long and divided into two levels.

The upper floor belongs to the private rooms, and the lower floor contains dozens of futons, which are seats for individual guests.

At this time, two or three monks were already seated on the first floor.

It takes a day and a night to get from Qingyun Fairy City to Lingxia Fairy City.

Zhou Ling didn't want to waste time, so he bought a ticket to the box so that he could practice or refine swords on the way.

Of course, the price is three times that of Sanzuo, which costs one hundred and fifty spiritual stones.

However, this is already within the acceptable range for him.

After paying the spirit stone, a delicate-looking maid guided him into the box numbered 'Jiajiu'.

"Dear guest, what would you like to drink? There are spiritual tea, spiritual wine and spiritual fruits available on the boat."

The maid looked at Zhou Ling, blinked her smart eyes, and said softly.

"Need not!"

"If you need anything, I'll call you!"

Zhou Ling shook his head and said.

The maid then withdrew.

Zhou Ling closed the door and immediately sat cross-legged on the wooden bed.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the room was roughly at the lower level of the second grade, which was enough for him.

Then, he took out the second-grade inscription jade slip, entered it with his spiritual consciousness, and checked it.

He had been very busy in the past four months in Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.

He made great progress in the major of inscription.

Not only did he become the foundation seed of the Taoist Academy, but he also passed the second-grade assessment of the Tiangong Division and became the deacon of the Tiangong Division.

He became the most alternative genius in Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.

In terms of actual refining, Liu Yu, Ye Zhilan and others did not get closer to him, but widened the gap.

In addition, the training of puppet courses has also been significantly improved, and now he can try to refine a first-grade upper-grade puppet.

In terms of beast taming and blood talismans, he has gained a lot since entering the ancient cloud world.

In these two aspects, he has also made rapid progress.

Not to mention the spiritual consciousness, the progress can be said to be the fastest.

It can be said that he has developed in an all-round way.

With his current strength, he can defeat Li Yan alone through [Illusion Simulation].

As for the Tiangong Division, he also successfully refined two mid-grade spiritual swords in the first month's mission.

Gained 200 points.

With these points, Zhou Ling can exchange various spiritual objects with the Tiangong Division.

Even foundation-building pills and foundation-building auxiliary objects.

Like the purple cloud spiritual liquid that assists foundation-building, this can warm the meridians and nourish the spirit.

Increase the success rate of foundation-building, but it requires 500 contribution points to exchange.

There are also many good things that can be exchanged on the Taoist side, but since he is still an outer courtyard disciple.

So the things that can be exchanged are limited.

Far less than the Tiangong Division.

So Zhou Ling plans to focus on the Tiangong Division next year.

And the Tiangong Division is a hard task.

Must be completed.

And Zhou Ling also exchanged the 200 contribution points he got this time.

Exchanged for a wood attribute technique "Qingyuan Jue"

This was mainly exchanged for her mother. It was a yellow-grade upper grade, enough to practice to the foundation building stage.

As for the subsequent exercises, Zhou Ling planned to use the "Wood Source Evergreen Art" from the five elements exercises he practiced.

After all, wood-attributed exercises are milder, and it will be easier to practice.

If the "Wood Source Evergreen Art" is given to my mother to practice now, it will be too difficult.

So, we still have to do it step by step.

As for my father, now I have a lot of physical training resources from the ancient cloud world, enough for my father to practice to the second level of physical training.

In addition, there are "Three Yang Art" or other physical training techniques. If my father needs it, he can start practicing.

Half an hour later, the spirit boat began to shake slightly.

Zhou Ling immediately opened his eyes, leaned against the window, and looked out of the window.

There were silky white clouds floating in the endless sky.

On the ground, the huge Qingyun Fairy City was getting farther and farther away.

Then, a loud voice spread throughout the spirit boat.

"My fellow Taoists, I am Shen He, the steward of Qianye Chamber of Commerce, responsible for all matters on this spiritual boat."

"This route starts from Qingyun Immortal City and ends at Lieyun Immortal City. During the journey, we will pass through five immortal cities including Jinye Immortal City and Huangshi Immortal City."
