Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

The person who came was none other than Zhou Qing, and he sensed a gaze coming over him, like a clear mirror hanging in the air, coming from above, giving him a condescending look.

He turned around and saw a handsome young man standing quietly in front of the gorgeous cloud chariot, with his hands behind his back, as if he were standing on a majestic mountain, with an indescribable majesty. He even sensed that under the sunlight, a cloud of energy rushed out from above his forehead, bright and tangible.

There is a saying, jade produces smoke.

This young man had this vision, which was that he had tempered his body to an extremely exaggerated level, turning it into a piece of beautiful jade.

Zhou Qing only took one glance and recognized the identity of the other party. It was Zhou Luoyun who was targeting him.

In this life, he had never seen Zhou Luoyun. But in the last life, after Zhou Luoyun took a high position in the Zhenyi Sect, he would return to the Hengnan Zhou Family from time to time. He had seen him a few times from a distance.

Zhou Qing looked at it for a few more times, then withdrew his gaze. Business was more important. He waved his sleeves and continued to move forward along a bluestone road.

Along the way, there are no standing stones, which are jagged and majestic, with small characters engraved on them, and they look golden in the sunlight.

It tells the stories of many members of the clan who, after passing the clan exam, stepped onto the ladder of success and soared into the sky.

Walking on such a path is indeed motivating.

After walking another two or three miles, we arrived at Lingyun Hall smoothly.

This main hall is built against the mountain. It only has one high-rise building, but it reaches 15 or 60 feet from the ground. It is far higher than all other buildings around it. A bronze bell stands at the top of the tall building. Under the sunlight, the word "Ling Yun" can be seen shining brightly.

The sills around Lingyun Hall are made of pure jade, and there are nine steps. On the ninth floor, there was a tall middle-aged man standing. He had thick eyebrows, a serious smile on his face, and a sense of squareness about his body.

When he saw Zhou Qing coming over and checking his identity, he suddenly smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you, let's go in."

After Zhou Qing heard this, he frowned secretly. Was something unexpected happening? There were many more people paying attention to this exam than he thought?

"That's fine."

Zhou Qing thought about his plan, frowned, and strode up the steps into the main hall.

The floor of the main hall is paved with green bricks. The texture is solid and fine, and it is polished like a mirror without any gaps. The eyebrows of everyone reflected in the light are green.

As for the center of the main hall, there is a treasure pillar, which is two feet above the ground. It is engraved with fine patterns, from top to bottom, in the shape of bells and drums. On the front of the treasure pillar, there is still a gold list hanging, which is now folded up and motionless.

Zhou Qing glanced around and walked straight to one side. There was a horizontal platform there. There were seats behind the platform. Two people had already arrived in advance and were sitting on it.

These two people are also taking the big exam. He got the news from Butler Zhou. It seems that there is another one named Zhou Bo?

Zhou Qing found a seat and sat down, looking at the pillar in the center of the hall with bright eyes. After struggling for so long, it was time to show off.

The three of them were all sitting, not saying a word, adjusting their state.

At some point, footsteps were heard on the high platform in front of the hall. Zhou Qing heard the sound and looked around, and saw a woman coming out surrounded by six maids. She had slender eyebrows and beautiful eyes, wearing a rosy dress, with green clouds on her feet, and embroidered green clouds on her head. There is a lotus flower on the top, with thin leaves behind the flowers and crisscrossing star patterns on them.

Threads of cold light fell from the top door of the woman, like mutton-fat jade. Together with the smoke coming from the hand stove held by the maid beside her, the surroundings were filled with brilliance, turning the high platform into a curling yao world. White clouds are blooming.

“The interplay of energy and energy, between yin and yang.”

Zhou Qing was shocked when he saw it. He had clearly reached the fourth small level of Qi refining, and was only one step away from condensing pills.

In the past, those who presided over this high school examination were usually those who had just started practicing Qi. This time, someone who had perfected Qi training came here?

Zhou Qing's mind was strong and his six senses were keen. He could sense that whether it was the woman who had just appeared hosting the exam or the viewing platform that had risen in Lingyun Palace, there were eyes lingering on him.

"what happened?"

Zhou Qing was a little puzzled. During this period of time, he had most conflicts with Zhou Luoyun. Can the affairs of young people cause such a big reaction?

At this moment, the woman on the high platform rang the jade bell, and a clear and bright sound echoed in the hall. She raised her eyebrows, looked at the three of them, and said: "Zhou Chao, Zhou Bo, Zhou Qing, you three The school inspection will be carried out next, don’t panic, just follow my instructions.”

"Zhou Chao."

The woman on the high platform looked at one person with her beautiful eyes, and said in a calm tone: "You come first."

"yes."

Zhou Qing looked over and found that Zhou Chao had already stood up and walked towards Baozhu. The young man tried his best to stay calm, but he clenched his right hand tightly and looked very nervous.

"Sit down."

The woman on the high platform directed Zhou Chao to sit under the pillar in the center of the hall, making him hold his breath and concentrate.

Seeing that Zhou Chao was ready, the woman raised her slender eyebrows, stretched out her slender hand, and with a flick of the air, a stream of true energy shot out from her fingertips, and then fell on the treasure pillar.

Boom,

The next moment, some textures on the pillar lit up layer by layer, and circles of light hung down, covering Zhou Chao's body.

Zhou Qing looked at the golden book hanging on the treasure pillar, which was filled with ripples of light but motionless. He understood clearly in his heart: "The golden book has not been opened yet. It seems that Zhou Chao has not reached the third level of Taoism this time and has not cleansed the marrow."

Zhou Qing thought about it. Unlike applying on his own initiative, Zhou Chao should have turned sixteen this year and had to take the big exam.

Just without the marrow cleansing and bone replacement, it is very unlikely to pass the big test.

"Concentrate your mind and circulate your internal energy."

The woman on the high platform saw this, and her beautiful eyes were cold. She muttered something, and once again sent out a stream of true energy, injecting it into the treasure pillar in the center of the hall.

"Ah,"

Zhou Chao let out a low roar, and at this moment, the treasure pillar lit up with a different pattern than before, and more and denser light circles fell down, bound to his body, and constantly squeezed him.

Zhou Qing sat behind the horizontal platform of the hall, staring at the complex patterns on the treasure pillar, and then looked at Zhou Chao with a painful expression below, thinking.

He could see that there was a wonderful power on the treasure pillar, which penetrated down and poured into Zhou Chao's body, merged with his internal energy, and helped him to impact the third level of the Tao Realm, the marrow cleansing realm.

While the family forces the children of the clan who are over 16 years old to come for inspection, if they find that the person has not washed his marrow, they will give him an extremely rare opportunity to use the power of the treasure pillar to infuse him and help him, hoping that he can successfully advance and break through.

Zhou Qing looked at the rising energy under the treasure pillar and his thoughts turned.

As a thousand-year-old family, the Hengnan Zhou family does have a foundation. Only the treasure pillar of the Lingyun Hall is something that ordinary cultivation families cannot have. Moreover, such an infusion requires very pure essence, which is also hard to come by.

"Ah,"

With the last cry, the halo on Zhou Chao's body dissipated, and the young man fell to the ground with a plop, sweating profusely on his face.

Failed.

Even with the treasure pillar infusing essence to help him temper the internal energy in his body, he still didn't accumulate enough in the end and failed!

"Go down."

The woman who presided over the big test on the high platform saw this, and her jade face was cold. She waved her hand, and a stream of true energy fell, wrapped around the failed Zhou Chao, and threw him back.
