Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

"A true disciple of Zhenyi Sect."

Zhou Xian seemed to be listening to the conversation while looking at the lotus and flying crane patterns carved on the eaves of the front porch. A bright light was diffused above the misty rain.

But in fact, his thoughts kept turning.

In his mind, Zhou Qing might stand out in Zhenyi Sect with his peerless talent of nine-point immortal bones. But he really didn't expect that the other party would be promoted to the true disciple of Zhenyi Sect in a short time, and had already completed his Qi Refining and went out to find medicine to condense pills.

A true disciple of Zhenyi Sect, and with the background of a direct descendant of Luochuan Zhou family, must not be underestimated. Such a person returning to the Hengnan Zhou family land will have a great impact.

After sitting for a while, Zhou Xian winked at Zhou Zhenzhen, and the two of them stood up and said goodbye at the same time.

"We'll leave first, and we won't disturb you two to reminisce about the past."

Zhou Xian smiled and waved his hand to stop Zhou Ming and Zhou Qing from seeing him off. He greeted Zhou Zhenzhen, and the two of them left Jiannan Baofu quickly.

Outside, the sky deepened, and the sun floated on the water. From morning to night, it accumulated more and more, faintly, like golden textures, rising and falling with the waves, with an indescribable clarity of gold and green grinding. But if you look more carefully, from time to time, there will be circles of ripples when the wind blows, and it is not calm.

After Zhou Xian and Zhou Zhenzhen left Jiannanbao Mansion, they walked up the river bank. No one spoke, but above the top door, the power of Dansha surged, the wind and clouds surged, showing the excitement in their hearts.

After walking for a while, a building came into view, which looked more majestic than Jiannanbao Mansion just now.

Zhou Xian took a look and broke the silence in the field, saying: "Come in and sit down?"

Zhou Zhenzhen was uneasy, nodded and agreed, saying: "Okay."

The two went to Qingyun Garden and sat down in the living room as guests and hosts.

To the south, there are six large floor-to-ceiling windows. The hollow patterned glass looks like nine-leaf frost lotus. The bright light from outside comes in and falls on the ground, fluttering like petals blooming, becoming hazy.

Zhou Xian waved his hand and asked the maid who had served tea in the hall to leave. He raised his eyebrows, and his skin became whiter, like the snow on the top of the mountain that has not melted for thousands of years, with a strange color. He said: "What do you think of Zhou Qing's return this time?"

Zhou Zhenzhen's eyes were back from the rows of bird cages hanging under the eaves outside. She picked up the teacup and gently stroked it with her jade hands. After a long time, she said: "I was confused for a while and had no idea."

Zhou Xian glanced at the other party, thinking about it. This was not entirely perfunctory.

Zhou Qing's status at this time should not be underestimated, but in the eyes of the major forces in the Hengnan Zhou clan, it was a bit embarrassing, neither up nor down.

If Zhou Qing's status is downgraded, then needless to say, he is just an inner disciple of Shangxuan Sect. People in the clan will not deliberately offend him, but they will not approach him deliberately.

If Zhou Qing's status is upgraded, he will have great power and status in Zhenyi Sect. Many forces in the clan will take the initiative to contact him, and even radical ones will surrender to the other party.

Now, Zhou Qing is a true disciple of Zhenyi Sect. He has great potential for advancement, but the risk is also great. If you don't bet on it, it will be a pity. If you bet on it, it's hard to grasp the scale.

Headache, it's really a headache.

"Let's see." Zhou Zhenzhen's long eyelashes trembled, like a small comb, casting a shadow. She lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Anyway, Zhou Qing will stay in the clan for a while, just in time to see his methods."

"That's right."

Zhou Xian nodded. Zhou Qing would not be quiet all the time when he returned to the clan. He must walk around. What's more, a group of people from Doumu Palace happened to come. When they met, it would not be calm. It was just right to see the quality.

See Nanbao Mansion, in the front porch.

The bright skylight bypassed the rockery outside, and continued to cast on the doorposts of the front porch, colliding with fine and fragmented halos, and then fell on the ground and disappeared, leaving a clear trace, making the ground misty into a precious color, like a carefully polished gold brick.

After Zhou Xian and Zhou Zhenzhen left, Zhou Qing glanced at his uncle sitting opposite. Qiuxiang held the incense burner, and a wisp of smoke rose. A slight sniff gave a warm spring feeling.

The incense in the incense burner was called Taihe Yuzhenxiang, a first-class treasure. Without this precious incense, my uncle might not be so healthy.

It was not my uncle's strange disease, and it was not something that Taihe Yuzhenxiang could solve.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing took out a delicate jade pot from his sleeve bag. The ears were like dragon horns and there were dragon patterns around it. He took a deep breath and opened the lid. Then, a pill rose slowly from the mouth of the pot.

When the skylight shone, it could be seen that this pill was as big as a dragon eye and as red as blood. As soon as it was taken out, there was a deep and mellow fragrance that hit people's eyebrows.

Even a calm person like Qiuxiang sniffed subconsciously when she smelled the fragrance. I just felt that compared with the fragrance of this pill, the Taihe Yuzhenxiang in the incense burner in my hand became tasteless.

"Uncle, try this pill."

Zhou Qing said first, and then sent it with his true energy. The pill floated into the air and fell on the eyebrows of Zhou Ming who was sitting steadily. In just a moment, there was a wisp of fragrance, and then a round of red light from the sun rose from Zhou Ming's body, which seemed to be visible and invisible, condensed but not dispersed.

At the same time, Zhou Ming felt a heat between his eyebrows. Suddenly, a big sun fell in his sea of ​​consciousness, and rays of light shone one after another, shining everywhere from inside to outside.

Wherever the light reached, traces of medicinal power permeated. These medicinal powers, from the sea of ​​consciousness to the elixir sea, to the flesh and bones, were all there, and were everywhere.

As the medicine took effect, a feeling of comfort that I had never experienced before came over me. Ever since he got the strange disease, Zhou Ming felt like he was wearing a soaked thick cotton jacket that was tightly wrapped around his body. No matter whether it was day or night, lying or sitting, he always felt an indescribable discomfort. This time, it seemed that the moisture on the thick cotton jacket had been evaporated, and my whole body felt warm.

For the first time since I got sick, I felt so warm in my body, and it was warm from the inside out. It was like there was a real sun stationed in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, emitting light, heat, and bringing light at any time.

The incense burner in Qiuxiang's hand tightened, and tears of joy filled her beautiful eyes.

Although she could not see the internal changes in Zhou Ming's body after taking the elixir, as someone who had been serving Zhou Ming, she was most familiar with Zhou Ming's body. With just one look, she knew that Zhou Ming's body was in unprecedented shape after taking the elixir. Good.

After half an hour, Zhou Ming opened his eyes. The fatigue that had always been on his face was much less. He subconsciously moved his body, exhaled slowly, feeling satisfied, and sighed: "I feel much more comfortable. ”

There was not much joy on Zhou Qing's face. He used his power with his eyes and could see that in his uncle's sea of ​​consciousness, the Tianshan Dayuan Dan that he had sought was slowly turning. Every moment, the power of the medicine overflowed. Like sunlight, like flames, they collide and intertwine, sound and sound, continuously sending vitality to the limbs and bones.

But even so, there seemed to be a whirlpool with no end in sight in his uncle's body, which was devouring the light and heat at a slow and steady speed.

If this continues, when all the medicinal properties of Tianshan Dayuan Dan are used up, his uncle will be knocked down to his original state again.

It can only alleviate the problem but cannot remove the root.

This strange disease is really strange.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but frown when he thought of this.

Tianshan Dayuandan is the best elixir for nourishing qi and nourishing the mind. Its main medicine is made from Baozhi, which is more than three thousand years old, and is supplemented by Yuanying Zhenren, who has swallowed the essence of the sun for three years in the nine heavens. More than ten kinds of auxiliary medicines are also very rare. Refining Tianshan Dayuan Dan is extremely difficult.

If Zhou Qing hadn't had an unusual status in the Luochuan Zhou family and was above the ordinary true disciples, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to obtain such an elixir.

"It's the limit."

Zhou Qing knew that at this stage, the best and most peaceful elixir he could get from his family and sect was the Tianshan Dayuan Dan. No matter how effective the elixir is, on the one hand, he doesn't have enough status to get it. On the other hand, that pill was too violent and not suitable for his uncle to take.

"It's already very good." Zhou Ming saw his nephew's frown, smiled softly, and looked indescribably relaxed, and said: "I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to take this level of elixir in my lifetime. ”

Qiuxiang knew that this was happiness from the bottom of her heart, and she quickly said: "Master, with the young master's ability, where is this? You will have many happy days in the future."

Zhou Qing dispersed the haze between his brows, and above the top door, the spiritual gold energy rose, reflecting a golden white.

That's right. How long after he left the Hengnan Zhou family and came to the Zhenyi Sect, he was able to obtain elixirs such as Tianshan Dayuan Dan to alleviate his uncle's condition. When he successfully condensed the elixir, he could take a step further in the sect and even successfully become a member of the sect. If you follow the disciples of Dongzhen, your uncle's strange disease will always be eradicated.

As long as my status in Luochuan Zhou Family and Zhenyi Sect rises fast enough and high enough to get everyone in Dongzhen to help, I don't believe that this strange disease can't be cured.

"Promote as soon as possible."

Zhou Qing felt a sense of urgency in his heart. The sooner he got to this point, the less his uncle would suffer from the strange disease for one day.

"Take your time, don't be hasty." Zhou Ming seemed to see what his nephew was thinking. He spoke and said, "You can't rush when it comes to cultivation. If you make a mistake in your haste, it will be too late to regret it."

When Zhou Ming said this, his tone became serious and he said: "You are not alone now. If something happens to you, many people will be affected."

"I see."

Zhou Qing nodded, indicating that he understood. With his temperament, although he was impatient, he would never be rash.

"That's good." Zhou Ming stopped clicking and said no more. He asked Qiu Xiang to brew a pot of tea again, held the tea cup in his hand, smelled the aroma of the tea, and then said: "I listened to Zhou Xian, You are already a true disciple of the True One Sect, let’s talk about the True One Sect.”

"Since the Jingchen Dharma Assembly, I followed Master Zhou Chen to Danyang Continent, the clan of the Zhou family in Luochuan..."

Zhou Qingqing reported good news but not bad news, and told his own experience from the Luochuan Zhou family to the Zhenyi sect in the style of Spring and Autumn.

Anyway, it sounds like he is the son of destiny. Not only is he extremely talented, but he is also loved by everyone. Whether in the family or in the sect, all the people he meets are good people and they lend a helping hand. to help.

Just like this, he had a smooth journey and became a true disciple of the Zhenyi Sect and a leader of the younger generation of the Zhou family in Luochuan.

Zhou Ming listened with a smile, of course he didn't believe it, but it was really amazing that his nephew could reach the present point in Luochuan Zhou Family and Zhenyi Sect on his own.

If his sister and brother-in-law knew better, they would be smiling.

After talking for a while, Zhou Qing put forward one of his biggest reasons for returning to the Hengnan Zhou clan and said: "Uncle, I am already a true disciple of the Zhenyi Sect and have opened a mansion on Taihe Island on Dongsheng Continent. It is a truly blessed place. Uncle, you can help me stay in the cave."

Speaking of this, Zhou Qing smiled and said, "People say that an old man in the family is like a treasure. I am alone and helpless, so I can only let you, my uncle who is not old yet, play this role temporarily."

Zhou Ming also had a smile on his face, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he said, "I heard from your parents that to move up in the sect, you need the support of the forces behind you. You have established a foothold in the Luochuan Zhou family, and you can rely on the help of the Luochuan Zhou family. However, in a big family like the Luochuan Zhou family, there are many outstanding children, which will disperse the support for you."

"According to me The more forces behind the support, the better. Although the Hengnan Zhou family is much worse than the Luochuan Zhou family, it would be great if we could win the support of some forces from the Hengnan Zhou family. "

Zhou Qing would not hide anything from his uncle. He nodded vigorously and said, "I also plan to win some forces from the Hengnan Zhou family."

"But due to my current strength and status, I can only make temporary contact and start."

"Start, and then take it slowly."

Although Zhou Ming was suffering from an old illness and rarely went out, he knew that the major forces in the clan were very cautious and would not release the eagle until they saw the rabbit. If you want to get them on board, it will take a long process and constant pulling.

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming expressed his plan and said, "You will mainly be active in the Luochuan Zhou family and the Zhenyi Sect in the future, and you will not be able to take care of the Hengnan Zhou family. Why don't I stay in the clan and help you contact."

Zhou Qing knew that what his uncle said made sense, and he was indeed the most suitable candidate. On the one hand, he is from the Hengnan Zhou clan, and if he is connected with the major forces in the Hengnan Zhou clan, he is close by blood. On the other hand, his cultivation is average, but he is very good at dealing with people. Otherwise, they would not have survived those difficult years.

However, Zhou Qing thought about it and decided to refuse. His uncle's strange disease has not been cured. Now he is just using the medicinal properties of the precious elixir to neutralize it. If he continues to stay in the clan, people will be worried.

"The effect of the elixir is very good, and I feel very good too." Zhou Ming did not wait for Zhou Qing to speak, and continued to speak, saying: "These years, I have been staying at home, like a useless person, and I am really bored. Now with the help of the elixir, I can finally do something."

"Your Taihe Island must be full of manpower. I can't do anything if I go there. It's better for me to stay here and move around."
