Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

"All right."

Seeing his uncle's insistence, Zhou Qing agreed, but the skylight fell on the top door and was rushed by the true energy. It condensed like a treasure leaf, crystal clear and flawless, reflecting the solemnity on his face.

Zhou Ming saw his nephew's concerns, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I'm sensible and won't put myself in danger."

Zhou Qing knew that his uncle was determined, so he nodded and said no more.

After Zhou Ming took the Tianshan Dayuan Dan, the sea of ​​self-awareness bloomed with light, and circles of flames were reflected, half a foot around, as if they were real. The comfort of his body made him very energetic, and continued He spoke and said: "Although I can't provide help in times of need, it is good to be active and add icing on the cake."

Zhou Qing knew that the key was himself. The more powerful he was in the Zhenyi Sect, the smoother his uncle's activities would be, and the safer he would be.

After thinking about it, Zhou Qing stood on the top of the door, and the spiritual energy of the spirit moved, and the light dropped down, making him feel like he was in a crescent moon, surrounded by golden white. He said: "In two days, I will take a walk. ”

In this regard, Zhou Ming can help. He said directly: "I will prepare a list for you and focus on recruiting those on the list."

"good."

Zhou Qing's eyes were filled with light. When he returned to the Zhou clan land in Hengnan, he would definitely open up the situation and there was no way he would return empty-handed.

As for the delay in finding the medicine to condense the elixir, there is no need to worry.

Because searching for medicine and condensing pills is not just about going straight to the destination to collect the required external medicine. It is a complete process from going out to looking for medicine to experiencing and so on. You are not afraid of being late when looking for medicine, you are just afraid that the time is wrong and what you encounter is not good enough.

"Okay." Zhou Ming patted his knees, and bright light passed through his fingertips like broken pieces, and said: "You have come from the Zhenyi Sect. You have traveled thousands of miles. You are tired enough. Go and have a good rest."

"You have to stay in the clan for a while. These days are ups and downs, and there will be no peace."

"good."

Zhou Qing stood up after hearing this.

"Master, this way."

Suyun led the way, heading directly to the back of Baofu.

After walking for a while, we reached the backyard and passed through a long corridor. The left and right sides were made of colored glaze, on which little cranes in various poses were painted, some swaying, some fluttering, or curled up to sleep soundly. They were innocent and lifelike. The skylight casts down from the hollow wings of the little crane and scatters in front and back, filling the hair of the maid leading the way with a layer of light, giving it a sense of tranquility that has never been seen before.

Many years have passed, and the little maid who was dependent on him has lost her youthfulness and become more capable.

After a while, I arrived at my residence.

The wooden couch by the window was spotless. There was a jade table in front of the couch, and a mutton-fat jade bottle was placed on the table. The pattern on the mouth of the bottle was also very new. The words on the half-open Taoist scriptures reflect the color of the flowers, red and green, and there is a bright color that catches people's eyebrows.

It can be seen that even though Zhou Qingyi has been gone for so many years, his residence in Nanbao Mansion is still being cleaned every day.

Zhou Qing sat down on the wooden couch and watched Su Yun fetch the spices, put them into the auspicious beast incense burner on the table and lit them. The smoke curled up, and the fragrance hit his nostrils.

After she finished her work, Zhou Qing said: "Suyun, my uncle is willing to stay here, and Qiuxiang can stay and take care of him. You clean up, and after a while, I will find someone to help you send it to my cave Taihe in Zhenyi Sect." island."

"yes."

Su Yunqing agreed crisply, and blinked her big eyes, but she seemed to be as cunning and nimble as before.

Zhou Qing thought for a while, took out two small sleeve bags from his body, asked Suyun to take them, and said: "Inside are the elixirs, magic weapons and Taoist books used for cultivation. You should keep them. One for you, one for Qiuxiang, It’s not easy for her to stay with her uncle.”

There was joy on Suyun's face. She took it in her hand and played with it a few times before putting it away and talking to her young master in a low voice.

Although the two have not seen each other for so many years, and the gap in status is even greater, they have the experience of being a master and servant who have relied on each other for many years, so there is no barrier, so what should be done.

After about two or three quarters of an hour, she knew that her young master needed to rest, so she said goodbye and went to the front to share the joy with Sister Qiuxiang.

After Suyun left, Zhou Qing opened the window. Outside were rows of his favorite bamboos. The leaves had fine green lines. The wind blew them, making a rustling sound, like the sound of a deep flute. Listening to it makes one's spiritual platform clear and clear.

Zhou Qing was bathing in the bamboo wind and looking at the bright colors of the bamboo leaves, his eyes were filled with sparkles.

This time when he returned to the Hengnan Zhou family, the situation was completely different from the previous situation where he looked up to the Hengnan Zhou family. He could now form a forest with a single tree and have his own pattern.

If you really want to communicate in a real way, it is not false at all with the real person of the Zhou family in Hengnan.

"Wait a minute."

Zhou Qing lowered his eyelids to hide the strange color in his eyes. He started to use his mysterious skills and waited to see who would contact him first and extend an olive branch.

Zhou Huawen waved his big sleeves, got off the cloud car, and looked up at the treasure house in front of the water.

Seeing that the door of Nanbao Mansion was open and there were servants above the door, and seeing Zhou Hua's extraordinary cultural relics, especially the wisp of elixir on the top door, which sounded like gold and iron, he did not dare to neglect and immediately greeted him. He went up and said, "Young man, I've seen this man before."

In the past, Zhou Huawen certainly did not have such a small person as the concierge in his eyes, but now there is no need to do so. He still took out his famous thorn and said: "I am here to see Zhou Qing, the owner of Zhou Island. I want to inform you and tell Zhou from Changxi Mansion." Please see me in Chinese."

"Just a moment."

In so many years, it was the first time for the concierge to see such a grand visit from a big shot in the Huadan realm. He was excited and nervous at the same time. He quickly returned to the mansion and went to report.

After a while, the concierge came back with a smile on his face. He welcomed Zhou Huawen in and said, "Master Zhou, please come in. Young Master Qing is waiting for you in the reception room."

Zhou Huawen nodded and followed into Nanbao Mansion.

He knew well that Zhou Qing, a true disciple of the Zhenyi Sect, did not go out to greet him in person. With his strength and background, he is not qualified yet. Unless the person behind him arrives in person, Zhou Qing may greet him at the door.

Seeing that Nanbao Mansion is not small, at least, Zhou Huawen felt that it was much larger than the mansion he lived in. I heard that Zhou Qian originally owned this mansion, but later lost it to Zhou Qing. After Zhou Qing left, his uncle Zhou Ming had been living in Baofu.

"Zhou Qian."

Zhou Huawen frowned when he thought of the name, and then unfolded it. He was already here anyway, so there was no need to think too much.

After a while, the servant leading the way stopped and whispered: "Sir, we are almost there."

The reception hall is located on one side of the main courtyard. There are no trees planted in front of it, making it extremely spacious and bright. There is only a rugged rockery, less than two feet tall, which is all white and looks like jade in the sky.

At the door of the reception room, stood a young man. He was wearing a crown, with a silk ribbon hanging from the crown. There was a green jade tied to the silk ribbon. The faint light hit his face, making his eyes dim. It gets deeper and deeper, and you can't see the bottom.

Although he was only in the Qi Refining realm, Zhou Huawen felt a heavy pressure when he looked at it, as if he was facing a cold golden mountain, which made people subconsciously shy away.

Zhou Huawen took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality.

He knew that he had such pressure. On the one hand, the other party did have an outstanding temperament and a unique energy. On the other hand, he also thought about the identity of the other party, which subconsciously changed him.

"Island Master Zhou."

Zhou Huawen spoke first and said hello.

"We talk inside."

With a gentle smile on his face, Zhou Qing asked the other party to go into the hall.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Zhou Huawen said, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "Island Master Zhou, when you come back this time, I heard that you passed by on your way to Ningdan?"

Zhou Qing sat on the couch. After hearing this, he said: "That's right, that's also wrong."

He paused for a moment before continuing to speak, saying: "I left the Zhenyi Sect this time, indeed with the intention of traveling around the Ningdan and impacting the realm of Mingshen. However, when I came back, I did not pass by it during my travels, but came back on purpose."

Zhou Huawen was first shocked when Zhou Qing personally admitted that he was traveling to Ningdan.

Calculating the time, this young man has only left the Hengnan Zhou family for a long time. In such a short period of time, he has actually jumped from entering the Taoist realm to impacting the realm of alchemy. No one in the entire Hengnan Zhou clan can match such incredible cultivation speed.

Later, Zhou Huawen heard the word "specially" referring specifically to the Zhou family in Hengnan.

Without waiting for Zhou Huawen to ask, Zhou Qing's eyes were dark and he said, "I grew up here since I was a child. I have many acquaintances here and have deep feelings for them."

"I came back specially this time. On the one hand, I wanted to use the power of our Hengnan Zhou family to find clues about the external medicine needed to condense the pill. On the other hand, it is also the main purpose. I want to bring some people back to Zhenyi Zong.”

"Bringing people back to the True Sect?"

Zhou Huawen's eyes moved, and he clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, and then released them without anyone noticing.

"Not bad." Zhou Qing's tone sounded very sincere, and he said: "I said that I have deep feelings for this. Now that I have initially established a firm foundation in Zhenyi Sect, I have the conditions and opportunity to help. Still have to help.”

"Island Master Zhou is a kind man." Regardless of what he thought in his heart, Zhou Huawen verbally praised Zhou Qing's gratitude to his uncle, sighed and said, "I don't know who is lucky enough to follow Island Master Zhou. ”

"Haha, I just have this idea. I don't know if anyone is willing to follow me and suffer." Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows and said in a sonorous voice, like the sound of gold and stone, echoing everywhere: "According to my personal experience, It is indeed not easy to compete in Zhenyi Sect, but in such a Shangxuan Sect, you can really broaden your horizons and come into contact with more powerful people. "

Having said this, he glanced at Zhou Huawen who was thoughtful and said: "In this case, once the opportunity comes, you can really jump to the sky. Such experiences and opportunities are really not available in the Zhongxuan Sect. "

Zhou Huawen listened and nodded secretly.

The Zhongxuan Sect is very strong. Even the weakest Zhongxuan Sect cannot match the power of a millennium-old family like the Zhou family in Hengnan. But even the strongest Zhongxuanmen is not as good as any of the Shangxuanmen.

What's more, Zhenyi Sect ranks among the top among all Shangxuan Sects and has a profound foundation.

Being on the big stage of Shangxuanmen like Zhenyi Sect is indeed much better than being in Zhongxuanmen.

"Shangxuanmen, the true sect."

Zhou Huawen had always been interested, but now the balance in his heart was a little more biased. After saying a few more words, he turned to a topic and said: "Island Master Zhou, after a while, the clan will arrange a conference. Invite you to join us." Members of the sect, please tell the story to the young people in the clan, and it can be regarded as passing on the scriptures and sending treasures.”

After hearing this, Zhou Qing was noncommittal and just asked: "Is it settled?"

“Seven or eight out of ten.” Zhou Huawen thought about the letter from the person behind him, and said confidently: “Speaking of which, someone has been pushing this matter for a long time. After all, the Doumu Palace sent a letter in advance and set their itinerary.”

“But they may not have thought that you, Island Master Zhou, would also come back and arrive at the same time.”

“It’s a matter that has been decided, and many people know about it, and it’s impossible to change it.”

“So that’s the case.” Zhou Qing smiled and said, “That’s good. Others have set up the stage, and I just want to go up and perform a show.”

Zhou Huawen stopped talking and didn’t say more.

After sitting for a while, knowing that the question he wanted to ask had been answered, and the news he wanted to know had also been leaked, Zhou Huawen stood up and said goodbye.

After he left Jiannanbao Mansion, he did not return to his mansion immediately, but continued to the east and came to a peak.

There are continuous buildings here. Just looking at the specifications, they are much higher than Jiannanbao Mansion and Qingyun Garden, which is close to Jiannanbao Mansion. The misty precious aura came from all directions, lingering under the eaves, outside the small window, and in the forest garden, forming countless notes, swaying back and forth.

Zhou Huawen went straight in and came to the largest palace. When he looked up, he saw a female cultivator sitting cross-legged on the high platform inside. She had a flying cloud bun on her head, a green leaf lotus skirt on her body, thin eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a jade-like appearance.

Above her head, a stunning rainbow hung down, and the bottom was like a ring, decorated with spiritual texts, colorful and colorful. She was in the ring, and her whole body was shining with light, as soft as moonlight.

If Zhou Qing was here, he would definitely recognize this female cultivator. Because when he went from Hengnan Zhou's to Jingchen Mountain to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly, it was this female cultivator who led the team.

She is a high-level Yuanying Zhenren level of Hengnan Zhou's, Zhou Ruoyan.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Ruoyan opened her eyes, looked at Zhou Huawen who came in, and said, "How is it?"

"I have met him." Zhou Huawen recounted what he had said and done when he met Zhou Qing just now, and then said, "I think Zhou Qing really intends to take people back to Zhenyi Sect."

"Take people back to Zhenyi Sect." Hearing this, Zhou Ruoyan, the female fairy, sighed secretly, not knowing what to say, but just said, "Xiao Ran is indeed going to a Shangxuan Sect, but whether it is Zhenyi Sect or Doumu Palace, let's see."

"I still think Zhenyi Sect is safe." Regarding Zhou Shuiran, Zhou Huawen has his own ideas. In his opinion, Doumu Palace and Zhenyi Sect are both Shangxuan Sects, but Zhou Qing obviously has a higher status in Zhenyi Sect. Although Zhou Luoyun has also developed well, he is not a true disciple, and his status in the sect is far worse.

"Let's wait and see."

Zhou Ruoyan felt that there was still some time, so she could wait and see.

Her mood was also fluctuating. After all, she had always been neutral in the Hengnan Zhou family before. Once she made a decision this time, things might be different in the future.
