Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Seeing this, Zhou Suyue raised her slender eyebrows. On her skirt, there were flying qiong flowers falling gracefully. She added, "Not only my little girl, but our entire Yun family is also following the lead of the island master."

Her voice was clear but her tone was firm.

Although a small family like the Yun family does not have a powerful monk in charge and looks inconspicuous, it has been passed down from generation to generation and has its own foundation and network of relationships.

This point cannot be underestimated.

Zhou Qing naturally knew this. If it weren't for the Zhou family's network in Hengnan, he wouldn't have been able to get the ice-dazzling water mushroom. He smiled. On the cloud sleeves, the crimson color flowed, like morning glow rising, and he lit it. nod.

After pondering for a while, he looked at Zhou Suyue again and said: "That demon thief from the Tianxin Sect was severely injured by me in the depths of Changling Lake, and he knew that the Ice Dazzling Water Seed fell into my hands, so he probably won't come to the Yun family again. Besides, I have already spread the news that the demon thief from the Tianxin Sect is here through the communication, so it is very likely that he will not have the time to come again."

According to the usual practice, once a disciple of a major demonic sect such as Tianxin Sect appears, the major Xuanmen forces in this area will attach great importance to it. After receiving the news, they will immediately send out special personnel to search and hunt down.

On the one hand, it is a kind of experience for the disciples and can also accumulate merit. On the other hand, Xuanmen and demons are not mutually exclusive. If the disciples of the Demon Sect dare to appear within the sphere of influence of Xuanmen, Xuanmen has the right and responsibility to eliminate them.

Just like the Seven Saints Sect sent out special personnel to hunt down Yu Liuli who showed signs of death, the Tianxin Sect disciples who competed with Zhou Qing for the Ice Dazzling Water Seed were waiting for him with an endless pursuit.

As Zhou Qing spoke, he took out a small sleeve bag from his sleeve, handed it to Zhou Suyue, and said, "But just in case, please keep the contents inside."

Zhou Suyue knew that this was a remedy for the trouble caused by the failure of the true disciple of the True One Sect opposite to completely cut off the Bingxuan Shuizhi, so she did not shirk it and accepted it generously.

"To enter a true sect, you can only start from the outer disciples of the sect." Zhou Qing took out another talisman from his sleeve. It was golden and had mysterious patterns on it, like the sun and moon, dazzling. He sent it to Yun Yannan held it in her hand and said: "You wait here. After a while, someone from the sect will come and take you to the mountain gate for practice."

Not to mention the upper Xuanmen like Zhenyi Sect, there are many middle Xuanmen. Generally speaking, when young people join the sect, no matter how background they are, they need to start as an outer disciple and work their way up step by step.

From this aspect, we can also see why the competition in the Jingxuan Mountain Dharma Conference that Zhou Qing participated in back then was fierce, because once selected by the sect, he would start as an inner disciple and receive many additional rewards.

Compared with ordinary people, he definitely wins at the starting line.

After Zhou Qing said a few more words, he felt that the matter had come to an end. He said goodbye and left, went to the Yulingbaozhen Palace outside, and after identifying the direction, flew towards Yuping Mountain.

Luochuan Zhou family, clan area.

Outside the tall building, there was a startling rainbow coming through the sky. The end of the rainbow was in contact with the sky, and the light and dark were uncertain. The light was constantly exhaling, stretching, contracting, expanding, etc. Countless different phases appeared frequently and were intertwined. .

Different lights and sounds hit the large glazed windows and then reflect on the golden sycamore tree in the center of the room, which just illuminates the colors of the leaves falling gracefully from above. After falling to the ground, they go in all directions, like a brocade, beautiful. Gorgeous.

Zhou Chen is sitting under the treasure tree, above the top door, the clouds are opening and closing, and the auspicious energy is rising. Further up, there is a treasure ring hanging, which seems real and illusory, real and imaginary, and the indescribable pure energy comes from the underworld. It penetrated through the underworld, and then passed through a portal like the Baohuan, and then extended into his body for swallowing and swallowing.

As time went by, the energy in him became deeper and deeper.

At this time, while Zhou Chen was practicing, he unfolded the jade book in his hand and looked at the things written on it, with thoughts flashing in his eyes from time to time.

The jade book is none other than the content passed down by Zhou Qing, recording various things about Zhou Qing's travels.

As the leader of the younger generation of the Zhou clan in Luochuan, Zhou Qing's trip to Ningdan is not a small matter in the clan, and someone will always pay attention to it. Just like this, Zhou Qing would write a letter every once in a while, record what happened around him, and send it back to the clan, so that the people in the clan would be aware of it and at the same time keep a check on it.

If something is done improperly, the clan members will point it out. It is also a learning process to learn from mistakes and gain wisdom.

Of course, among the younger generation of the Zhou family in Luochuan, only Zhou Qing has such treatment. After all, sending messages over such long distances is not an easy task and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

"Hengnan Zhou family, Xianshi, Yun family."

Zhou Chen read the latest flying letter, stringing together what Zhou Qing had done since leaving the sect until now, and nodded secretly.

Although there were a few twists and turns, overall it was smooth. In particular, the development of the Zhou family in Hengnan is even more exciting.

"It's just," Zhou Chen thought of something again, his eyes moved, and a chill came out of his eyes, and he said, "Is there someone in the door who is constantly inquiring about Zhou Qing?"

"yes."

The young man standing on one side had silver hair and a shawl and a gentle face. But when he looked at Zhou Chen, he felt a chill in his heart. There seemed to be a group of feathered hunting cavalry coming in front of him. The sound of Jin Ge was loud and he said: "According to Investigation, people from Doumu Palace should be behind it."

He has found out that there are countless connections behind the people who work in the sect, and in the end, they all point to Doumu Palace.

As both of them are from the upper Xuan sect, there is no shortage of people in Zhenyi Sect who are friendly with Doumu Palace. At the same time, there is no shortage of people in Doumu Palace who are friendly with Zhenyi Sect. It is hard to say about other things. If you find out some information and thread a needle, it will definitely be easy to catch them.

There is also a huge network of relationships between the Xuan sects. It is difficult to get rid of it and difficult to break away from it.

Zhou Chen knew this very well. It is impossible to stop this, but he can't do nothing. If he does that, it will only make those who are interested more rampant. He thought for a moment, organized his words, and said, "Spread the word and warn those who are too active. Zhou Qing is the leader of the younger generation of our Luochuan Zhou family. He has the opportunity to become one of the ten great disciples of Zhenyi Sect in the future. We must protect him well."

"Yes."

Zhou Chen thought of another thing and said, "Also, go and urge them to review the matter reported by Zhou Qing as soon as possible and send the merits of the sect to him as soon as possible."

"Understood."

The silver-haired young man stayed for a while, and when he saw that Zhou Chen had no other instructions, he hurried out to do his work.

Zhenyi Sect, Yunxing Tower.

The stars outside seemed brighter than usual, and the dazzling light shone on the hollow patterns on the windows, and the mottled brilliance on the ground was reflected by the jade bricks, which were crystal clear and bright in color.

At a glance, it seemed that countless beautiful star lotuses had opened on the ground, appearing and disappearing, extremely beautiful.

There was a very handsome man sitting on a cloud couch in front of the window. From the top of the door, a starlight that had been tempered by thousands of times was hanging down, constantly going back and forth, interpreting the wonderful appearance of all voids, constantly changing.

He opened his eyes, and in his eyes, there was a clearness, without any color, as if all the filth in the world would be purified and washed away here, leaving nothing behind.

"Master." There was a girl with a bun, with a palace lantern under her feet, reporting in a clear and pleasant voice, saying: "The news about Zhou Qing is personally checked by Master Zhou Chen in the Luochuan Zhou clan, and it is very strict. We have tried many methods, but we still can't get any other useful news from it."

At this point, the girl's beautiful eyebrows frowned, and a yellow leaf swayed on her cloud hair, with an autumn sound, which made her very dissatisfied.

She did go all out and mobilized a lot of people, but the other party's operation was like a copper wall and iron wall, which could not be penetrated by a needle or broken by water, and no useful information could be obtained at all.

The seated Wu Shi Zhenren nodded, not surprised by this.

For a family like the Luochuan Zhou family, even if the people working in the family are not of the Zhou family bloodline, they are at least a dozen generations of family children and are trustworthy. It is not easy to make them disobey Zhou Chen's orders.

He was just trying this trick. If there is a harvest, it would be great, but if there is no harvest, it is also natural.

"Let's talk about Dou Mu Palace."

Zhenren Wu's eyes turned. He could not get any news about Zhou Qing from the Luochuan Zhou family, but Zhou Qing would always leave traces when he traveled outside, so he could naturally get bits and pieces of Zhou Qing from the outside.

Among them, Dou Mu Palace is the most concerned.

Of course, the Dou Mu Palace here cannot be the entire sect. Let alone a true disciple like Zhou Qing, even an ordinary Dongtian Zhenren would not be so important to the entire Shangxuan Sect.

The one who was paying attention to Zhou Qing was only a force in Doumu Palace, but it was not simple to be able to be a force in Doumu Palace. Anyway, there was at least a real person in Dongtian sitting behind them.

"Doumu Palace."

The girl with a bun was responsible for the connection during this period. She had a lot of work in her mind, so she spoke out.

The people representing Doumu Palace were very proactive. They had the same goal in dealing with Zhou Qing, so they cooperated smoothly and helped each other.

The people in Doumu Palace could learn from her about Zhou Qing's rise in Zhenyi Sect, and she could also learn from the people in Doumu Palace where Zhou Qing went and what he did when he was traveling.

"However," when she said this, a little gloom appeared on the jade face of the girl with a bun, and she said: "Zhou Qing last appeared in Changling Lake, and now he has disappeared. The people in Doumu Palace have not found him yet."

Even for a high-level sect like Doumu Palace, the sphere of influence it affects is also limited. What's more, the one who is staring at Zhou Qing now is only a force in Doumu Palace, which has weakened again.

If Zhou Qing deliberately hides himself, or is out of the influence range of Doumu Palace, it is natural that Doumu Palace cannot find Zhou Qing's trace.

When Wu's master heard this, he smiled. Above his head, the starlight spread out, like a cloud, covering the skylight, cold and sparkling, crystal clear threads fell, and the surroundings became a mysterious crystal world.

For this, he has his own understanding, saying: "The little guy named Zhou Qing in Luochuan Zhou's is not a good person. Even if we don't look for him, he will make a noise and jump out by himself."

"Wait, wait slowly, I believe that in addition to Doumu Palace, people from other sects will soon come to our Zhenyi Sect to inquire about Zhou Qing's news."

The girl with a bun blinked her big eyes after hearing this. On her palace skirt, a kingfisher landed on a branch with its wings spread out, vivid and lifelike.

She thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "What the Immortal said makes sense."

It must be said that the Immortal is worthy of being the Immortal, and he sees the problem very clearly. Her fellow tribesman Wu Zhong is calm and steady, and can gain something without making any noise, which is easy to be overlooked. But Zhou Qing's style of doing things tends to be strong, open and close, and jumpy.

This point, in fact, can be seen from Zhou Qing's actions in the clan. And it is difficult to change one's nature, and it is indeed the same when he goes out.

The fact that the people of Doumu Palace are willing to spend so much manpower and material resources to find out his details shows that Zhou Qing must have greatly offended the powerful figures of Doumu Palace, and the offense is not light.

Such a jump will definitely not be calm.

Master Wu thought of something, and the stars flowed in his pupils. He asked: "Has Wu Zhong sent back any news recently?"

"No other news." The girl with a bun spoke. Wu Zhong is a cautious person and has his own ideas. He just said: "He said that he will go to Yuncang Sea Area in a while."

Yuncang Sea Area is the place where Liuliyu, one of the six kinds of Dan Ning external medicines, is produced. Those who go out to look for medicine usually go there.

"Go out." Master Wu waved his hand and asked the girl to go out to do things. He sat alone on the cloud couch, looking at the starry sky outside, and was silent for a long time.

Wu Zhong grew up under his care. He knew deeply that his talent and character were indeed a first-class cultivation seed. As long as nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely succeed in condensing the pill after returning from his travels.

But for Wu Zhong, it was not enough to just condense the pill, and it was not enough to just condense the pill with a high grade. What he had to do was not only to condense the golden pill with a high grade, but also to surpass Zhou Qing of Luochuan Zhou Clan.

Compared with ordinary disciples in the clan, Wu Zhong was under much greater pressure. But as long as he succeeded, the amount he gained was not comparable to that of ordinary disciples in the clan.

"I hope it can be done."

This Wu Clan real person breathed a sigh of relief, because Wu Clan also put a lot of people and things to work on Wu Zhong's condensation of the pill. At least, in terms of the support behind the scenes, it was not inferior to the support of Luochuan Zhou Clan for Zhou Qing.

The rest depended on the real competition between Wu Zhong and Zhou Qing. Who of the two would be better.

With the talents of the two people, the loser may rise again in the future, but there is no doubt that there will be more bumps on the road ahead. The winner will truly reap all the benefits and soar to the sky.

Many times, it may be those few steps that determine the upper limit of a cultivator's future.

On this day, Zhou Qing, who was riding on the Yuzhen Baoling Palace, finally arrived at Yuping Mountain.
