Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Yu Ling Bao Zhen Palace's escape speed was astonishing. In less than a day, Dongsheng Luzhou was in sight.

Zhou Qing opened the small window, stood in front of it, and looked around.

In front of us is a vast continent. The sky is round and the sky is round, with no boundaries. From time to time, thousands of stars line up and rise up, straight across the sky, dazzling, and then suddenly disappear, falling into the continent. You can faintly hear the sound of stars exploding, and then streams of gloomy green energy rush into the sky. It rises, condenses but does not disperse, and contains an indescribable aroma.

"The stars are sprouting, and the green air is fragrant."

Zhou Qing stood in front of the window and was slightly shocked when he saw this scene.

What you see in front of you is definitely not the real stars in the sky, but the incredible restraining array of the Zhenyi Sect, which leads up to the nine heavens and connects the thick earth energy down, gathers the yin and yang, and turns them into the dragon and tiger, thus giving birth to a steady stream of spiritual ideas to nourish this world. A continent.

It's really a big deal, and it's worthy of going to Xuanmen.

Zhou Qing turned around and thought, the Jade Lingbao Palace sank down, reflecting the tiny stars in the sky, and entered the continent.

Once inside, not long after flying, there was a spiritual peak blocking the way. A straight white jade stone step leads from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. At first glance, it looks like a white dragon shaking its head and tail. Above the dragon's head, smoke and clouds curl up, and palaces are looming. They are all tall, thick, majestic and far-reaching.

Even on the Flying Palace, you can see that there is a plaque hanging on the front palace, and the three characters "Changqingyuan" shine brightly, with golden patterns from top to bottom, more than thousands, and clear mysterious sounds. Spread around, echoing everywhere.

In Luzhou, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, there is the Changqing Pavilion. The outer disciples and inner disciples of the sect go there to register and receive the cave and other cultivation items. In Dongsheng Luzhou, it is Changqingyuan, responsible for the affairs of the true disciples.

Changqingyuan has an unusual status in Dongsheng Continent.

Zhou Qing took another look, and the envoy got down from Fei Palace. With a slight turn, he entered Lingfeng, and then came to the front of Changqing Courtyard.

In front of the main hall, on the steps, there was a pair of Taoist boys on duty, talking quietly. Anyway, I have nothing to do, just relax and unwind.

At this time, there was only a roar, like a thunderous explosion, and then a startling rainbow fell from the sky. Wherever it went, brilliant light shone around, causing incense and color, singing and spitting beads, and then a figure stepped on Come down to Hongqiao.

The two children heard the sound and looked around, and found that the person who came was a young man with a silver crown and robes and a handsome face. Under his feet was the rainbow bridge, and wonderful sounds were flowing. Behind him, in the sky, a flying palace could be seen, which was very impressive.

"A deacon Taoist boy saw that there seemed to be a silver moon behind the person's head, with frost all around, falling in various colors. He was startled and knew that this was the new true successor in the sect. He quickly stepped forward and said, "The boy has seen it before. Really. "

"Yes." Zhou Qing nodded, looked around, and said loudly: "I am Zhou Qing, come to the courtyard to receive the cave abode."

"Zhou Shangzhen." Upon hearing this, the Taoist boy gave his companion a look and asked him to go in and report. Then he stood at the door and spoke carefully to Zhou Qing.

The competition in every session of Zhenyi Sect's Zhenzhuan is very fierce, and every Zhenzhuan disciple is extraordinary.

They, the deacons and Taoists, were in Changqingyuan and met the true disciples frequently, and they became more and more aware of the dire consequences if they offended the true disciples.

It was not long before footsteps came from inside. A middle-aged man with a gentle face walked out. The door on his head was covered with elixirs like frost, reflecting his long and narrow eyebrows. As soon as he came out, he smiled at Zhou Qing and said, "I guess You will be coming in a few days, but I didn’t expect it to be so early.”

Zhou Qing thought of what his sixth uncle Zhou Chen had told him when he arrived. He turned his eyes and recognized the person. A smile appeared on his handsome face and he said, "But in front of Brother Chang Clan?"

"Haha." After hearing that Zhou Qingneng took the initiative to recognize him, the middle-aged man Zhou Zhichang laughed and looked very happy.

The deacons of Changqingyuan arrange the training caves of the true disciples in the sect and do other things. They have many daily affairs and seem to have a lot of power. But in fact, the deacons working here are cautious and not as good as the outside world thinks.

They were facing the true disciples of the sect, not ordinary disciples. Every true disciple was not easy to mess with. Working in Changqing Pavilion, you can't even think about taking advantage of others, hiding things from your superiors and bullying your subordinates. Sometimes you have to behave according to the rules, but when you encounter a true disciple with a bad temper, you will be offended.

Therefore, those who are willing to serve in the Changqing Pavilion and serve as deacons are mostly monks who no longer expect to make progress in their cultivation. No matter how high their cultivation level is, compared with the true disciples like Zhou Qing, their status in the clan is still on the ground level and in the sky.

The two exchanged some pleasantries. Zhou Zhichang was in front, leading Zhou Qing inside and said, "Other things are easy to talk about. I will take you to choose a cave first."

Zhou Qing looked around as he walked. Compared with Changqing Pavilion, Changqing Courtyard looked very quiet, with almost no people.

After all, in the sect, only one true disciple is selected from the inner disciples every five years. There are only three true disciples in each term. The number of true disciples is far less than that of the inner disciples and outer disciples.

He looked at it and spoke, "Is there a blessed place in the courtyard now?"

The caves used by monks are the collective name for the places of cultivation, but they are specifically divided into six categories: "Dongtian, Blessed Land, Zhengong, Qifu, Xuanlu and Jingshe", among which they are divided into upper and lower levels depending on the number of Qi veins and spiritual intelligence.

In Zhenyi Sect, the true disciples can choose "Blessed Land" and "Zhen Palace", the inner disciples can choose "Qi Palace", and the outer disciples can only choose "Xuanlu" and "Jingshe".

As for Dongtian, it is basically in the hands of Dongtian people and will definitely not appear in Changqingyuan.

As a true disciple, Zhou Qing did not expect to live in the cave, but he came here to get a blessed place, and the true palace would not consider it.

After Zhou Zhichang learned that someone in his clan had risen to the top in this edition of the True Inheritance, he did some homework and knew what he was doing. He said, "There are now twelve blessed places in Changqing Pavilion. You can choose one."

"Twelve places." Zhou Qing heard that it was not a small number, and he had a lot of choice. He smiled, with a deep look in his eyes, and said: "How many of these blessed places are people keeping an eye on?"

The aristocratic families in Zhenyi Sect have always been very capable. When they introduce their own children to compete for the true inheritance, they will also make arrangements in Changqingyuan in advance to protect their favorite cave. Once one's own children can stand out and are successfully promoted to true successors, they can directly enter the chosen cave.

Although this is not stated openly, it is nothing new in Changqing Courtyard.

"Six blessed places." Zhou Zhichang answered without thinking. He specially marked these six caves.

"I don't care about this." Zhou Qing strode inside. Although he looked young, when he spoke, there was firmness on his face, and unshakable will and self-confidence in his tone. "I see Whichever one you choose, pick that one.”

Zhou Zhichang smiled, not surprised.

As a direct descendant of the Zhou family in Luochuan, you only need to abide by the rules on the surface. As for the "hidden rules", follow them if you want to. It is really detrimental to your own interests. You can just kick them away and No scruples.

The direct descendants of the Luochuan Zhou family have such confidence!

The two of them were talking and came to an attic.

There are about dozens of jade-colored bells hanging under the eaves of this attic. When the wind blows, a clear and sweet sound will sound. It is ethereal and elegant, and penetrates into the human bones, refreshing people's spirits and feeling like a spring breeze.

Zhou Zhichang glanced at the little boy standing in front of the door with his hands down, and said: "Go and report to the deputy master, and tell the true disciple Zhou Qing to come and choose the cultivation cave."

"Yes." The Taoist boy recognized Zhou Zhichang, the deacon of the courtyard, and agreed. After entering, he came out quickly and said, "The deputy palace chief is inside, please come in."

Zhou Qing's expression remained unchanged, and she took the lead to stride in. There was a high platform inside, and the Vice-President of the Palace was sitting on it. She had long eyebrows, elegant makeup, and was wearing an aqua palace skirt. There was a bright cloud above the door. On the top, hanging down a rouge-colored treasure, a tiny spiritual bird, only the size of a finger, hovering and flying, coming and going, holding spiritual sounds in its mouth and constantly flapping its wings.

"I've met the deputy master of the palace." Zhou Qing bowed after coming in. After all, the other party was not only a Nascent Soul cultivator, but also the deputy master of the Changqing Academy.

There was no smile on the jade face of the Deputy Palace Master. With a move of her hand, she took a jade slip from the shelf on one side. Then she flicked her finger. The jade slip came to Zhou Qing and opened automatically. She said : "There is an empty Blessed Land Palace inside. Take a look."

Zhou Qing could sense the other party's alienation, but he didn't care. He and the Luochuan Zhou family behind him couldn't let themselves be loved by everyone. What made flowers bloom was just a change of consciousness. He entered the jade slip and chose the cave. .

Just looking at it, Zhou Qing frowned. He thought for a while, raised his head, and asked upwards: "Deputy Palace Master, the Blessed Land True Palace in the Changqing Courtyard has no owner, and only these are on the jade slips?"

His voice deepened, with a slight coldness.

"Let me take a look." The deputy head of the palace took the jade slip back with a move of his hand, took a look at it, and then took another one from the wooden frame and sent it to Zhou Qing. His expression remained unchanged and his expression did not change. : "The jade slip just now should be from before. Take a look at this one again."

Zhou Qing took a deep look at the Vice-President of the Palace above, and then put his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip. This jade slip contained three more blessed places than the previous jade slip, for a total of twelve places. He looked at it for a while, Having made a decision, he took back his consciousness and said, "Deputy Palace Master, I choose Taihe Island."

Taihe Island is a blessed land in the northwest of Dongsheng Continent. The aura of gold and water on it is very strong, which is suitable for him to practice the two mysterious arts "Yuan Huang Hua Long Tu" and "Spiritual Life Gold Book".

"Taihe Island." The deputy head of the palace who was sitting above heard that Zhou Qing had chosen the blessed place and was silent for the time being. On the black hair on one side of her, the jade hairpin moved, falling flowers hung down, and the mist and moon appeared across the sky, reflecting on her jade face. It was so deep that one couldn't see his expression clearly. After a while, only the voice came down, saying: "Zhou Qing, I think there are other caves, don't you want to take a look?"

The meaning of the other party's behavior was very obvious, but Zhou Qing didn't care. He snorted coldly in his heart, his voice was like stone, unshakable, and said: "Vice-President Palace, I have made up my mind, I will choose Taihe Island."

The Vice-President of the Palace did not speak any more, and with a wave of his hand, a talisman flew over and hung in front of Zhou Qing. The two seal characters of Taihe on it were extremely simple, accumulated green energy, and were on the verge of falling, with mysterious sounds clashing with each other.

"This is the forbidden talisman of Taihe Island in the blessed land." Zhou Qing stretched out his hand, took off the talisman and held it in his hand. I am very lucky, this blessed land is suitable for me.

"alright."

The Vice-President of the Palace closed his eyes, stopped talking, and pretended to be seeing off guests.

Zhou Qing and Zhou Zhi often looked at each other, then left the attic and went inside. Obtaining the forbidden talisman of the blessed land is just the beginning. It is also necessary to register it in Changqing Pavilion and record it in the book. Zhou Qing is the real master of Taihe Island.

In the corridor, Zhou Zhichang looked at no one on the left and right, narrowed his eyes, and asked: "Is there something weird about the first jade slip that the deputy palace chief took out just now?"

Regarding this, Zhou Qing had nothing to say and replied directly: "There are only nine blessed places in the first jade slip."

"Only nine?"

When Zhou Zhichang heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he instantly understood the thoughts of the Vice-President of the Palace.

There must be someone who has a good relationship with the deputy head of the palace who is interested in certain blessed places in the Changqing Palace and has informed him in advance. So when Zhou Qing came to choose the cave, she deliberately took out a jade slip that concealed the three blessed places. .

If he hadn't done his homework in advance and understood the details of the unclaimed blessed land in Changqing Yuan, or if he hadn't communicated well with Zhou Qing, and Zhou Qing had actually chosen the cave from this jade slip, then everything would have gone smoothly. If Zhou Qing didn't fall into the trap like the scene just now, that would be it.

Anyway, it’s just a try. If it works, I’ll be happy. If it doesn’t, I’ll give up.

"hateful."

Zhou Zhichang secretly gritted his teeth, and the coldness in his eyes became more intense. If Zhou Qing really fell into the trap, he would be the culprit and bear the greatest responsibility, and the clan would not spare him.

"Let's make a note of it for now."

Zhou Zhichang knew that the position of Vice-President Palace was extraordinary. Not only did he obey her orders, but even Zhou Qing could not do anything to her. However, it was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. When the time came, he would jump out and give her a push.

The two walked for a while and turned the corner. The main hall for registration of the cave was right in front.

At this time, there was only a soft sound, and a little golden light emerged, and then the light rose up, like a suspended wheel, and then the golden color hung up like a bead curtain. A middle-aged Taoist walked over, wearing a He is wearing a crown, wearing pearl-colored fairy clothes, and a magic sword hanging on his waist. His eyes are amber jade, and he looks unstained by the world.

"Zhou Qing." When the visitor saw Zhou Qing, his eyes moved. He spoke directly and said, "You chose Taihe Island, do you want to think about it again? I think there are other unclaimed blessed lands, which are also pretty good."

His tone did not sound harsh, but had a kind of jade-like gentleness, without any hint of the overwhelming power of Master Yuanying.

Zhou Qing was startled for a moment, then realized what he was doing and said, "It's Taihedao, it's the most suitable for me."

"That's fine."

After hearing this, the middle-aged Taoist nodded, said no more, and just passed by.

It looked as if he was just passing by and did not come specifically for Taihe Island.

Of course, this is impossible.

Zhou Qing was in a calm mood. He went inside and successfully registered, becoming the real owner of Taihe Island.
