Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

It happened so fast that a group of strange things with bright stars floating in the air came in an instant and landed on the first cloud platform in the blink of an eye. The next moment, countless star wheels appeared on the cloud platform, and the light rushed into the sky, stirring up the starlight and precious energy, one circle after another, one round after another, colliding with each other.

The abundant power was tied into a line, circling around the front, back, left and right, and golden flowers and silver flames shot out. A young man was faintly seen sitting on it. His sleeves were as big as the sky, his expression was solemn, and between his eyebrows, there was a star bead, which contained the preciousness of heaven and earth.

Zhou Qing looked from a distance and immediately found that the light around the first cloud platform was three to five times brighter, and the bright colors intertwined and permeated around, making the feathers of each fairy bird turn with inexplicable vitality.

Zhou Qing looked at the starlight, sensing the precious texts surging in each beam of light like beads, and said word by word: "The Chapter of Summoning the Stars and the Nine Virtues of Qi Ze."

"Yes." Zhou Xuan nodded, his face solemn. He raised his hand, as if he could scoop up a handful of starlight out of thin air, watching the vitality diffused, lingering, back and forth, and said: "Senior Brother Jing has cultivated this mysterious skill to the point where gods and ghosts cannot predict it. Fortune, wealth and longevity gather in the body, and the nine virtues nourish the soul. The cave heaven is just around the corner."

These words are not what he, a true disciple of Jindan cultivation, can say, but the cave heaven real person Tianming of Luochuan Zhou family, said a few words in private after meeting Jing Yun and returning to the clan, which happened to be heard by Zhou Xuan.

"The Chapter of Summoning the Stars and the Nine Virtues of Qi Ze."

Zhou Qing silently recited a sentence, his eyes like torches, looking at the field.

The Zhenyi Sect's Zhenzong Xuangong has the theory of five qi and four methods.

The Five Qi Mysterious Art is biased towards the five elements.

The "Spiritual Life Gold Book" practiced by Zhou Qing is a gold-based mysterious art, the "Miao Qing Canhe Gong" practiced by Zuo Manshu, who had fought with him, is a wood-based mysterious art, and the "Hao Ri Wan Yang Shu" is a fire-based mysterious art.

The practice of the Five Qi Mysterious Art focuses on the immortal bones of the cultivator. If there are not enough immortal bones with corresponding attributes, it is impossible to practice a corresponding mysterious art.

In addition to the Five Qi Mysterious Art, Zhenyi Sect, as an upper Xuanmen, also has the Four Methods Mysterious Art in the Zhenzong Xuan Gong.

Compared with the Five Qi Mysterious Art, the Four Methods Mysterious Art does not require high attributes of immortal bones, but the threshold is not low at all. Without a suitable Taoist body, it is impossible to even enter the threshold.

After all, the Five Qi and Four Methods of Zhenyi Sect are the Zhenzong Xuan Gong. Only those who become the true disciples of the sect are qualified to practice. Although mysterious, it is very difficult to practice.

"There is another one of the four methods."

Zhou Qing calmed down and looked at the second-ranked cloud platform, where the river of thunder was hanging down. From time to time, there was a burst of thunder sound, which, when it touched the spirit, turned into a bright flame hanging high in the air, condensed and not dispersed, illuminating the surroundings. There were even unknown thunder beasts that rolled up from the thunder sound and flew around.

"Liu Qingru, the second of the ten disciples." Zhou Qing looked at the figure that was looming in the light of thunder, and his thoughts turned. He said: "Judging from the weather, it should be the "Yu Wuyang Jade Pivot Thunder Sutra" of the four methods in the sect."

"Zhao Xing Qi Ze Jiu De Chapter", "Yu Wuyang Jade Pivot Thunder Sutra", and "Feng De Zhan Tian Jian Sutra" are all four methods of the sect.

The four methods are not included in the five elements, and they are different.

"However," Zhou Qing swept his eyes across the ten cloud platforms in the field. Each cloud platform had a weather, which was magnificent, and he nodded secretly.

The five qi and four methods of Zhenyi Sect are all first-class mysterious skills. It is said that each of them can lead to immortality directly. They have unfathomable mysteries and no distinction between high and low. However, the people who practice them are different. When combined with such mysterious skills, they all have their own aura in the end.

The skills are indispensable to a person's achievement, but the skills are not the only ones. Will, talent, opportunity, etc. are all indispensable.

At this time, above the sea of ​​clouds, the remaining nine of the ten great disciples stood up together, saluted to the first cloud platform, and said: "Hello, senior brother."

Jing Beixuan, the leader of the ten great disciples, pushed the Taoist crown on his head and stood up from the cloud platform. He was in a brilliant halo of starlight. There were mysterious scriptures rising all around, as big as a bucket, with light and color, and fine and dense fragrance. When he spoke, there was a kind of peace and naturalness in his voice, saying: "Please stand up, fellow disciples."

After Qingru and the other nine people took their seats again, Jing Beixuan took out a scroll of treasure edict from his sleeve and gently unfolded it. Open it, and push it upwards. The golden rope tied on it will fall off naturally, and the words inside will burst out, interpreting the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers and earth. Then a beam of light will rise from the ground and go straight into the sky. After he finished doing this, he bowed upwards and said, "Disciples welcome the real person."

As soon as the voice fell, there were bursts of wonderful sounds from the sky, and auspicious clouds came continuously, with brilliant light. Indistinctly, several figures were seen inside, and their faces were not seen, but each of them exuded a very powerful aura, and there were different strange phenomena around their bodies.

"The real person of the cave in the sect."

Zhou Qing looked up, and the longer he looked, the more intense the light reflected in his eyes.

The ten great disciples in the sect not only have amazing realms, but also have extraordinary status in the sect. For them to rise to the top, they really need multiple real people of the cave in the sect to sit in charge.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, even Zhou Xuan, Zhou Qing, Mao Xinyi and others stood up and saluted to the clouds, saying, "Disciple greets all the real people."

Behind the auspicious clouds, a bell sounded, suppressing all other sounds, and then a figure appeared. His face was still unclear, but he was surrounded by clear air and stepped on the stars. He said, "Disciples, no need to be polite."

After saying that, he looked down and said, "The disciples of the sect have arrived, and the sect competition can be held."

"It's very beautiful."

After Zhou Xuan listened to the innocent man in Menzhongdong, he immediately spoke to Zhou Qing, and then looked at the sea of ​​clouds in the field attentively.

"Um?"

Zhou Qing was startled and quickly looked at Yunhai.

After a while, there was only a loud roar, which was more intense than the thunderous thunder in the nine heavens. Instantly, the entire Phoenix Mountain shook. From the sky, a simple sapphire gourd appeared, with a jade plaque tied around the mouth of the gourd, entwining all the stars. After the gourd appears, tilt it slightly, and a gurgling sound will first come out from the inside of the gourd, like all things bursting with vitality, and then streams of brilliant star essence will spit out from the mouth of the bottle.

As soon as the star essence falls, it is like water light, flowing across the cloud platform and around the steps, in an endless stream. Above the sea of ​​clouds, whether it is the top ten disciples who are high on the cloud platform, or the true disciples who have finally broken through and are interested in competing for the top ten disciples, The stars are all rising up, layer after layer.

Zhou Qing looked intently, and saw countless rays of light rising from the essence of the stars, changing every moment, and then derived an indescribable vitality that merged into the people in the sea of ​​clouds.

For a moment, Zhou Qingzhi felt that everyone who had integrated the essence of the stars looked brand new and dazzling. There seemed to be countless stars rotating in the Tao body, and there was an incredible rise in power.

Zhou Qing even saw that even though he was so far away, his spiritual energy was swept away by the essence of the stars, causing strange phenomena and forming large and small springs.

The spring closest to Zhou Qing looks less than three to five feet away. The water is radiating. After reaching the top, it begins to fall. The water line becomes wisps and wisps. At first glance, it looks like a crystal plant. The clear jade tree is absolutely wonderful.

Zhou Qing stretched out his hand to explore the spring. He felt something cool and refreshing in his hand, and then the sound of stars falling came from the sea of ​​consciousness.

"It's a bit like Tianrui Qi, but different."

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows, suddenly thinking of the auspiciousness of the Astronomical Academy that he received after leaving his name in the Academy.

This Qi originates from the nine heavens, is light and thick, and contains black and yellow. Later, it was sacrificed day and night by successive heads of the Tianxiang Academy, and it has the power to seize the fortune.

The star essence slanting out from the treasure gourd in front of him was not as good as Xiangtian's auspicious energy in terms of quality, but in terms of quantity, it was much more than what Zhou Qing himself got in the Astronomical Academy.

And to be honest, the star essence contained in this treasure gourd may not be as good as Xiangtian Ruiqi, but in essence, it is definitely first-class.

"How is it?" Mao Xinyi watched Zhou Qing stare at the spring in front of him, watching the phenomenon of the spring appear, weaken, and finally dissipate completely. The energy retreated, leaving only an undetectable starlight in place. , smiled and said: "The Six Yin Treasure Star Qi is refined by the Heavenly Master in the Zhongdong of the sect, and is specially prepared for each competition of the top ten disciples."

"This qi cleanses the haze, helps the spirit, and nourishes the body. It is a first-class precious qi."

"That is to say, you can see him today at Phoenix Mountain. In other places, even if you become a disciple of Dongzhenren in the future, unless you are personally taught by him, other disciples will not be able to see him."

Zhenyi Sect's Dongzhenren's disciples never lack people, hundreds or even thousands are not an issue. But the vast majority are maids, Taoists, and disciples, and only a very small number are disciples.

Very few are direct disciples, but most of them are only registered disciples. There are very few who formally become disciples and can pass on the mantle.

"This is a reward exclusive to the top ten disciples and the true disciples who can participate in the competition of the top ten disciples." Zhou Qing listened to the introduction of senior sister Mao Xinyi. He took another look at the sea of ​​clouds. On the top ten cloud platforms, everyone Looking at the starlight, it is obvious that the top ten disciples are absorbing the star energy of the Six Yin Treasures and tempering their bodies, even Jing Beixuan, the senior brother with Yuanying cultivation level, is no exception.

Zhou Qing thought for a while and said: "The Liuyin Bao Xing Qi is indeed extraordinary, but if I had to choose, I still hope to get the Xiangtian Rui Qi from the Astronomical Academy."

"Like Tian Ruiqi." After hearing these four words, Mao Xinyi was startled and immediately realized. She glanced at Zhou Qing with pure and flawless eyes and said with a smile: "Junior brother, you almost forgot that you are a capable person." Those who leave their names in the Celestial Hall will be blessed with the auspiciousness of the Celestial Hall.”

"Xiangtian Rui Qi is essentially much stronger than Liuyin Bao Xing Qi, but it is too difficult to obtain. Even in our Zhenyi Sect, the only one we have been able to obtain in the past hundred years is you, junior brother."

"And I'm afraid you only have one chance to leave your name in the Astronomical Academy."

"And the competition between the top ten disciples is held every thirty-six years. As long as the top ten disciples don't take the initiative to absent themselves, everyone can get the Six Yin Treasure Star Qi."

"Yes." At this point, Zhou Xuan sighed and said: "Although the top ten disciples in the sect are also true disciples, ordinary true disciples cannot compare with them. The Liuyin Treasure Star that occurs once every thirty-six years The top ten disciples have other things like the nourishment of Qi, but ordinary true disciples don’t get such opportunities.”

"So the stronger the stronger, the gap between them and those behind becomes wider and wider."

"This is normal."

Zhou Qing has two lives of experience and knows this already. No matter in any system, the higher you are, the better the treatment, the more resources you can mobilize, and the greater the power you control.

He smiled, with a calm expression and a gentle smile, and said: "We practice hard and keep making progress. If in the end we have to be treated the same as the people below, I'm afraid we won't feel good about it."

"Too."

This time, Mao Xinyi nodded, but she still made eye contact with Zhou Xuan. The meaning in her eyes was very clear: This clan brother of yours is really different from other new true successors.

Once here, the three of them stopped talking.

Because as the top ten disciples above the sea of ​​clouds and the true disciples from the sect who broke through the barrier have suppressed the strange phenomena on their bodies and absorbed the Six Yin Treasure Star Qi, the competition between the top ten disciples will officially begin. .

"Who will take action first?"

Zhou Qing and others looked back and forth at the true disciple standing in the sea of ​​clouds, and their hearts suddenly lifted.

After all, the top ten disciples in the sect do have high positions. If there is a new one replacing the old one, it will have an impact on the forces behind the two of them, as well as related forces, etc., etc.

At this moment, a man jumped out. He was a young man. He wore a crown on his head and a robe with the sun and moon embroidered on it. He had a broad forehead and a pair of eyes as bright as lightning.

After he came out, he went straight to a cloud platform. The power of Dansha on the top door rose, circling like a sword. There was a clanging sword sound, and he said loudly: "Jiang Ming of Yunle Island, I came here to ask Senior Brother Ye for advice. Please ask Ye." Brother, give me some advice.”

"Jiang Ming." Seeing the first person to challenge the top ten disciples, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but straighten up, his face serious. Under the light of the sky, there was a lot of light in front of him, and he moved slowly and said: "He But a powerful person."

Mao Xinyi put his hand on the temples of the clouds. Above the door, a cloud appeared, like a pearl coming out of a box, like a crescent moon in the sky, reflecting his beautiful face, and said: "I haven't had much dealings with him, but I know that he is wearing "Feng" The practice of "De Zhan Tian Sword Sutra" was superb, and he killed many demons outside. "

"He and I worked together to deal with a difficult person outside. The sword energy cultivated by Senior Brother Jiang's "Fengde Sword Sword Sutra" is first-rate." Zhou Xuan looked at the motionless people in the field. Jiang Ming said slowly: "What's more important is that Senior Brother Jiang has a delicate mind, many strategies and good judgment, and his ability in fighting is far beyond that of ordinary monks of the same realm. He is indeed powerful."

"Although I don't know what kind of Taoist body Brother Jiang has, it is definitely extraordinary and fits well with the sword scripture he practices."

"Senior Brother Jiang comes from a small family. If he hadn't been extremely talented and impressed some people when he was still in the outer sect, he wouldn't have been able to go all the way to become a true disciple."
