Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

One month later.

The weather turned cold, and the smoke outside the hall gradually became colder, stained with a layer of white frost, reflecting the birds flying in the air, and a few goose calls whispered.

There was another icy air coming out from the open window, blown by the wind, and fell into the pool, like pouring a pool of white moonlight, a sea of ​​white.

Then, in the hall inside, a mysterious sound was heard. This sound was only one, but it was very clear, like a cold moon on the nine-story jade building, then leaping up, and falling rapidly, containing an indescribable clang, permeating all around.

In the end, the door of the hall opened, and Zhou Qing walked out. Above his head, a palm-sized gourd floated in the air, with new leaves around its neck, hanging down, unable to cover the mysterious seal characters that went up and down, and the water light was hazy all around.

When Zhou Qing came out, the gourd magic weapon on the top door shook gently, and the Qi from all directions poured in. When it was cast into it, the heavy sound of water was immediately heard. At the same time, it was faintly seen that the skylight seemed to fade all of a sudden, and an inexplicable dark color fell and slowly unfolded.

It seemed that the gourd not only absorbed the surrounding Qi, but also swallowed the sky into it.

However, this strange phenomenon only lasted for a while, and then the skylight was restored and became bright again. Being in it was like falling into a mirror, with a delicate reflection.

Zhou Qing's eyes flashed, and his thoughts turned. The embryo of the Sea-covering and Sky-swallowing Gourd that he had refined during this period of retreat fell into the Taoist body, sank into the Danhai, and began to be nurtured with the Dragon Qi.

He could only do this step. Next, he needed to use the earth fire furnace to sacrifice and refine it before it was considered successful.

However, since Taihe Island is a blessed place that has only been established for a short time, it has not yet built a ground fire furnace. If it needs to refine weapons, it may have to go back to Danyangzhou, the clan of Luochuan Zhou.

There is no shortage of ground fire furnaces in the clan of a big family like Luochuan Zhou. In fact, let alone ground fire furnaces, even the ground fire furnace opened by Dongtian Zhenren can be found in Danyangzhou, the clan.

"Let's go."

Zhou Qing had a plan, strode out, came outside, took out a ring from his sleeve, shook it gently, and a brilliant light shot out, breaking through the clouds, and the flying palace slowly floated out from behind the clouds, with golden doors and jade doors, precious windows and pearl railings, blooming with infinite light.

After Zhou Qing sacrificed the Yuling Baozhen Palace, he stepped on the ground, freed up a stream of true energy, wrapped his body, entered the flying palace, and sat down at the central position.

After three or five breaths, the Jade Spirit Treasure Palace suddenly shook, and the sharp aura of a magpie's tail surged from the back, spreading out like a fan. In an instant, it left Taihe Island, left Dongsheng Luzhou, and headed for Danyangzhou.

That day, Zhou Qing successfully arrived at Danyangzhou.

It was dusk outside, and Luzhou was stained with a layer of sunset light, as if covered with a layer of orange-red gauze, with a bright color that washed away the mountain colors.

Unlike the general rouge color, this orange-red color, at first glance, makes people feel particularly happy.

After a little identification of the direction, Zhou Qing drove the Jade Spirit Treasure Palace and found the Huabiao standing outside the manor. After traveling a distance, he stopped above his own mansion, and then spread his sleeves and got off the flying palace.

As soon as he stood firm, the door of the mansion opened, and the old housekeeper with neatly combed silver hair led people out to greet him. He stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Hello, young master."

"Get up." Zhou Qing waved his hand, smiling, and said, "Go inside."

"Yes."

As the group entered the mansion, many people secretly looked at Zhou Qing who was walking in front. Although he was young, he had long eyebrows and eyes, a golden face and jade figure. His every move showed a calmness and majesty beyond his age, which made people feel impressed.

Seeing this, they were secretly happy.

Although Zhou Qing often stayed in the mountain gate, first in Denglongqi Mansion, and then moved to the blessed land Taihe Island, he rarely came to this mansion in the clan and could not be seen, but Zhou Qing's name was often mentioned in the clan, and his reputation became louder and louder.

Compared with the past, their recognition of Zhou Qing reached an unprecedented level.

In the mansion, the river runs from south to north. Along the two banks of the river, the buildings are lined up as usual, covered with glazed tiles, and under the high eaves, there are carved dragon heads, looking into the water, lifelike.

Zhou Qing stood in front, looking down at this water vein, he could clearly sense that compared with the first time he came, the water vein was full of spiritual energy, boiling up, and the abundant spiritual energy spread out from this center, forming circles of halo ripples.

If the water vein was just a winding snake before, the current water vein has a little dragon-like appearance, which is a great improvement.

The buildings on both sides of the river were washed by the spiritual energy that was more abundant than before, and even the colors were three points brighter.

Seeing Zhou Qing thoughtful, the old housekeeper explained: "Not only did the clan specially send people to re-sort the water veins, but also mobilized the spiritual energy from other places and poured it into the water veins in the mansion, so that the water veins were sublimated and improved."

At this point, the old housekeeper was excited and couldn't help himself.

In his opinion, the young master in front of him was young but really amazing. It had only been a short time since he restored the manor, which was no less impressive than the heyday decades ago.

In fact, the importance of the clan was higher than before, even when the old master was there.

Zhou Qing listened and nodded.

As a true disciple of the sect and a well-deserved leader of the younger generation of the clan, it would be strange if the family did not take any action on his manor on the clan land.

And this was just the beginning. When he made further progress in the future, the manor would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Talking all the way, they came to the hall of the mansion.

Zhou Qing didn't sit down either. He just stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the color of the water outside. There were one or two herons stepping on the lotus leaves, which looked peaceful and quiet. Reflected in the waves, he looked more and more thin and picturesque. .

He finally came back, just in time to ask the old housekeeper to report on various matters in the manor.

The old housekeeper and others are not idle in the manor. On the one hand, they are reorganizing the manor, and on the other hand, they represent Zhou Qing to develop influence and connections in the clan.

Because Zhou Qing's status in the Zhenyi Sect and the Zhou clan in Luochuan has increased rapidly, and they have a big tree to enjoy the shade, they can do things smoothly.

"That's right." Zhou Qing listened quietly, said something, then turned around, the gold bricks polished on the ground as smooth as a mirror reflected the light, and a coldness rushed into his brows, saying: "I need to use an underground fire oven to bake it. Weapon refining, you go find someone to make arrangements in my name."

When the old housekeeper heard this, he looked solemn and said, "I'll do it right away."

Zhou Qing watched the other party leave, leaving him alone in the empty hall. He squinted and looked at a scroll hanging on the wall. There were clusters of star wheels on it, passing through the air, and below. , there was a Chenghe Taoist whose face could not be seen clearly. He was leisurely and contented, and his back was getting brighter and brighter.

Zhou Qing's eyes also became brighter, and his thoughts kept spinning.

In the past, when it came to matters within the clan, he would usually tell Zhou Chen and let his sixth uncle in the Nascent Soul realm make arrangements.

But this time, it was obviously different. He arranged it himself.

First, although Zhou Chen can be said to be responsive to requests, it is still a big favor if he helps a lot. In the past, due to various reasons, I had to turn to Zhou Chen for help. As time went by, Zhou Qing's status in the clan rose, and he was able to try to do things alone. There is nothing better than doing your own thing.

Secondly, in a wealthy family like the Luochuan Zhou family, doing work is also an opportunity to expand contacts and strengthen communication. With Zhou Qing's current status in the Luochuan Zhou clan, he should also move around and have personal contact with the people in the clan to strengthen the connection.

Thirdly, it is not too difficult to borrow an underground fire oven this time, and time is not tight, so I just want to explore this matter.

"So be it."

Zhou Qing lowered his eyelids and sat down on the cloud couch in the hall. From the sea of ​​consciousness and above the soul, fine and dense seal scripts flew out and were arranged and combined to form a huge gourd that spanned the sky and the earth.

He remained motionless and continued to deduce, carefully polishing every detail of the refining of the Sea-Swallowing Sky-Swallowing Gourd in "The Yuanhuang Transforms into a Dragon".

When it comes to your own destiny, there is no room for negligence.

Even so, Zhou Qing did not delay his cultivation. After all, he had two spirits, one to polish his natal magic weapon, and the other to practice mystical arts.

But compared with the past, in this case, you can only practice one of the "Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Diagram" and the "Spiritual Life Gold-falling Book", and you cannot practice both mysterious arts at the same time.

Zhou Qing chose to practice the "Yuanhuang Transformation into a Dragon", a true mystical skill from the Biyou Palace. After all, due to various opportunities, he made great progress in the "Spiritual Life Gold Book" and has surpassed the "Yuanhuang Transformation". "Dragon Picture".

Immersed in the natal magic weapon of the Sea-Swallowing Gourd and the practice of the mysterious skill "Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Picture", time passed quickly. On this day, the old housekeeper asked to see him.

After coming in, the old housekeeper reported that he had been looking for an underground fire oven for a while.

"Just make the arrangements." Zhou Qing stood up, walked out, and said, "Let's go now."

"Young Master." When they got outside, the old housekeeper pointed at a young man standing with his hands down, and said, "Let Cheng Da lead the way. He has been running there since he made the decision about the underground fire furnace. He is familiar with the roads."

Fan Chengda saw Zhou Qing's eyes turned sideways, containing a kind of scrutiny, and quickly stepped forward and said: "Young Master."

"Let's go."

Zhou Qing withdrew his gaze. It would be good for Fan Chengda to be pushed out. If this line of work performs well, you can try to cultivate it.

In the Luochuan Zhou family, as his status rises, Zhou Chen should be positioned as an ally, and many things still need to be handled by his own people.

Zhou Qing and Fan Cheng were both in the realm of Qi refining. They did not control flying magic weapons, so they simply walked in the clouds and mist, looking at the scenery on the continent and chatting.

Of course, it was mainly Fan Chengda who spoke and Zhou Qing listened.

Fan Chengda's family has always been in Danyang Continent from his ancestors to the present, so from Fan Chengda's perspective, he can also see many interesting people and things in Danyang Continent.

Just like that, when a pair of que mountains surged out, blocking the front like a portal, Fan Chengda stopped, pointed to the front with one hand, and said: "Master, the earth-fire oven we want to use is inside. "

Zhou Qing didn't say anything. His energy gathered in his eyes, and he immediately saw that there was only three or five people wide between the two bridges, and there were fine rocks scattered in them, outlining each other to form a net.

Further inside, you can vaguely see flying smoke and clouds, red as dye, and you can feel a burning sensation even from a distance.

The Earth Fire Oven has the word "Earth Fire" in it. This kind of majestic power of heaven and earth is far beyond the comparison of ordinary power.

Sensing someone coming, a cloud tower rose up behind the double towers. On top, a young man with sharp eyes and sharp eyebrows stood. He looked outside and his eyes were locked directly on Zhou Qing.

Without him, Zhou Qing's style is too outstanding.

After all, Zhou Qing has risen all the way and has become a true disciple. He has an unstoppable energy in him. Recently, I watched the competition between the top ten disciples in the sect and witnessed the best wave of true disciples in the sect, and my aura has reached a new level.

Under the condition of not restraining his aura, Zhou Qing's brilliance was dazzling and brilliant.

Seeing Zhou Qing's temperament, the tone of the young man on the cloud building became much gentler subconsciously, and he said: "This is the Shuangque Mountain of the clan, and behind it is the earth fire furnace. If there is nothing, do not disturb it."

When Fan Chengda heard it, he stepped forward, full of energy, and said loudly: "My young master wants to borrow the earth fire furnace."

The young man on the cloud building looked at Zhou Qing and asked: "What's your name?"

"Zhou Qing."

Zhou Qing's voice was not loud, but it had a kind of clearness that reached the other party's ears.

"It turned out to be the island master Zhou of Taihe Island." The young man on the cloud building was startled, and then reacted, with a smile on his face, and said: "Wait a minute, I will release the ban."

Zhou Qing stood outside and nodded.

There are only three true disciples of Zhenyi Sect in a class, which is very important. Even in a big force like Luochuan Zhou, it is a very honorable thing to address them with an island master.

Following the other party's actions, the rubble and nets between the two mountains dissipated, and Zhou Qing and Fan Chengda stepped in one after the other.

As soon as they entered, they immediately felt the surrounding heat rising. Everything they saw was dyed with a flame red, and from time to time, there were sparks. However, as soon as the sparks appeared, a force immediately appeared out of thin air to smooth them out.

"My name is Song Hua." The young man on the cloud building had come down, smiling, and greeted Zhou Qing, saying, "Island Master Zhou, Nanyue Zhenren has already ordered that as long as you arrive, go to see him."

He looked young, but he had already reached the level of Danhua cultivation, and he was guarding this earth fire furnace. In the eyes of many people, he should have a promising future.

But to Zhou Qing, whose realm was obviously inferior to his, Song Hua was very polite, as if he was not a Danhua cultivator, but a Taoist cultivator.

The reason was very simple. Song Hua was a smart man and knew the gap between himself and Zhou Qing in front of him.

Not to mention the two of them, one is from a different family, and the other is a direct descendant of the Luochuan Zhou family. With such a huge gap in innateness, Zhou Qing's status as a true disciple, not to mention that he, a cultivator who has just transformed into a pill, has to be carefully served, even if he is at a higher level, he has to be treated seriously.

As long as the true disciple of the Luochuan Zhou family does not die, he will become a real person.
