Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

It was late, and the moon was in the middle of the sky.

A stream of smoke shot out from afar, and when it got close, it suddenly fell to the ground, and scattered into a cold green color like pine trees all over the ground. Zhou Xibai walked out from inside. He wore a star crown on his head, a robe of auspicious colors on his body, a pair of thin eyebrows raised, and his eyes were bright.

He stood outside and looked at the manor in front of him. The buildings were hidden between the green mountains and green waters. From time to time, spiritual flowers would float out from the eaves. When the wind blew, they fluttered and scattered into auspicious air in the air, surrounded by purple and green.

Seeing this, Zhou Xibai nodded secretly. The owner of this mansion was not only the leader of this generation in the clan, but also a rising star of the Zhenyi Sect who had achieved the best elixir. This kind of atmosphere should be in the mansion.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Zhou Lingling also arrived. She had a high bun, a palace skirt, and light makeup. She had a quiet temperament. When she walked, the cold light in front of her knees was like the melting moonlight, swaying constantly.

"Both of you are here."

Zhou Wangzhi arrived a step late and greeted the two. He didn't say much, just held his breath and concentrated, adjusting his qi.

He was working outside, and after receiving the call, he hurried over, and now his breath was still fluctuating.

Zhou Xibai waited for a while, and when he saw Zhou Wangzhi had adjusted himself, he greeted him and walked forward together to enter the mansion.

The three of them had once practiced Dan Li under the eight-sided copper pillar together, and later walked more, vaguely, like classmates taking the imperial examination in the secular world, there was a friendship of mutual help.

The old housekeeper greeted them at the door, asked a few questions, and then told a maid beside her to lead the three to the main hall of the manor.

Zhou Wangzhi walked in and looked around.

There was a river running from south to north through the manor in the whole manor. At this time, it was late at night, and the moonlight was tilted between the waves, reflecting the light of the gems on the jade lamps above, making the surroundings bright and clear.

The cold and quiet moonlight, the waves and the lights all flowed onto the steps of the main hall, side hall, living room, study and other buildings built along the river. The light was level with the steps, and the upper and lower parts were clear, like a beautiful painting.

Zhou Wangzhi was fascinated. He was born in the side branch of the Luochuan Zhou family. When he was a child, his biggest wish was to build such a beautiful manor for his parents in the family, so that they could have a glorious face and live out their lives.

Now that his elixir has become a medium-grade one, his goal is no longer illusory. Next, he will work hard.

The three of them came to the main hall under the guidance of the maid.

There were already more than 20 people in the hall, because behind each elixir-making disciple, there was a girl in the mansion serving, and other girls were lighting lamps and blowing incense, but the main hall was supported by fifty or sixty pillars, opening up a huge space. Even if hundreds of people gathered, it was not crowded at all, but very spacious.

Zhou Xibai and the other three were asked to sit in front of the main hall. At first glance, the position was more important.

After all, compared to others, the three of them have achieved the middle grade of elixir, and they have the hope to impact the Nascent Soul Realm and become the first-class real person in the future. The children of other lower-grade golden elixir can only be trapped in the Danhua Realm for their whole lives, and there is no day to break through.

After everyone arrived, they exchanged a few words of greeting, then stopped and sat on their respective cloud couches, without saying a word, closing their eyes to rest.

For today's meeting, they had speculations and curiosity, but they would not ask.

After an unknown period of time, there was music outside. The sound was exciting and clear, with a kind of shock of ringing a bell in an empty mountain. As soon as it started, it rang from outside to inside, causing various chimes hanging in the hall to ring.

As children of the Luochuan Zhou family, Zhou Xibai and others all knew the music and rules. As soon as they heard it, they knew that this was a very formal music for the master to go out. They did not dare to sit anymore, got up from the cloud couch, and then looked outside with the maids in the hall.

The music sounded for a while, then turned low, and they saw a young man striding in. He wore a star crown on his head, a robe of a true disciple of Zhenyi Sect, a jade pendant on his waist, and his eyes were clear and deep.

As he came in, the originally still chimes in the hall rang again, and in the sound, there were actually a series of dark white sound wheels, and inside, the sharp air was stimulated, and every rotation was chilling, hitting people's eyebrows.

In the hall, a group of newly selected Danhua monks, led by Zhou Xibai and others, listened to the sound, and they saw a sense of autumn in front of them. An unstoppable sharpness and a majesty of killing all around instantly filled the entire hall, making the Dansha power in their bodies seem to become quiet, hidden in the Danhai, and difficult to move.

This is the power of supernatural power, which only Danhua monks are qualified to practice, and it seems that they have been practicing for a long time and can be used to fight and kill enemies!

Zhou Xibai could even keenly perceive that if he did not use magic weapons, he would be pierced by thousands of arrows under the power of this magical power, like a hedgehog. Thinking of this, his face changed slightly.

"Flying Golden Emperor White Wheel?"

Zhou Xibai vaguely recognized the origin of this magical power, which came from the "Spiritual Life Gold Book", one of the five qi and four methods in the sect.

It is said that this magical power can be promoted from Taoism, but it is very difficult to practice, but once it is achieved, the killing power is amazing.

Although the other Huadan disciples in the hall could not recognize the origin of the magical power like Zhou Xibai, they also knew that Zhou Qing could not have cultivated such a magical power just after being promoted to the Huadan realm, and must have been promoted by Taoism.

How can Taoism be promoted to magical power? Only by practicing Taoism to a very deep level in the Qi Refining Realm and using the powerful power of the golden elixir when condensing the elixir, can the Taoist arts be transformed and transformed into magical powers.

And as everyone knows, only the upper-grade golden elixir can do it.

They are all well-informed people. After Zhou Qing returned from searching for medicine to condense the elixir, they heard the news that Zhou Qing, a leader of the younger generation, was suspected of having condensed a high-grade golden elixir.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it is indeed the case.

They all succeeded in condensing elixirs within ten years. The difficulty of hedging Guan Ningdan is still fresh in their memory. Most of them tried their best and worked hard in every possible way, but they could only manage to condense elixirs. The elixirs became low-grade and even the shadow of mid-grade golden elixirs. None can be seen.

And what kind of astonishing accumulation, what kind of terrifying qualifications, what kind of enviable luck is required to achieve a top-grade elixir?

When they thought of this, everyone felt a sense of admiration and awe for Zhou Qing who entered the palace. They put away their distracting thoughts, held their breath and concentrated without saying a word.

For a moment, the only sounds left in the entire hall were the sound of bells and the sound of Zhou Qing's footsteps walking up to the high platform, leaving no noise at all.

Zhou Qing sat down on the high platform of the hall, looking down at everyone from a high position. He smiled and said, "Everyone, there is no need to be polite."

Zhou Xibai and others bowed again before taking their seats.

Zhou Qing gathered away his magical power, leaving only a piece of clear light above the top door, like a hanging orb, which covered the high platform with a layer of cold color. He said in a calm tone: "Most of the time, I am in the sect and among the people in the clan. We don’t have much time, so I’ll take this opportunity to meet you and get to know each other.”

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, seeing everyone listening attentively, he nodded slightly in his heart. By taking the lead and using magical powers to show off your strength, you are establishing your prestige in the shortest possible time.

After all, they rarely meet. If you want to lead people and make them do things, and if you can't do it with conviction, you must first make them fear the power.

The thoughts in his mind were spinning, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. Zhou Qing continued to speak and said: "After being promoted to Hualan, don't be happy yet. Whether it is in the clan or the sect, there are things waiting for you."

Having said this, he paused, his tone became solemn, and said: "You must be prepared, because things are not easy to do, and there will be dangers!"

He thought of what Zhou Chen had said about the sect's actions, and from the tone of this sixth uncle, it seemed that the alchemy monks might be the main force in the first wave.

For these new Alchemy disciples in the main hall, it is both an opportunity and a challenge. No matter what happens, you have to be strong and prepared.

Everyone present seemed to be able to hear the stormy and thunderous meaning in the words, and their expressions couldn't help but become solemn.

In their view, Zhou Qing on the high platform is not only the leader of the younger generation of the Zhou family in Luochuan, but also a true disciple of the Zhenyi sect. He stands tall, sees far, and is well-informed. His warnings must be listened to and not ignored. Dare not to listen.

"Okay." After Zhou Qing said a few more words, his eyes were clear, and he swept over everyone and said: "Those who want to participate in this elixir meeting, stay. Others go back and be prepared, there will be a meeting soon. Your place of use.”

"yes."

After hearing the words, the descendants of the Luochuan Zhou family responded. They saluted above and then walked out with various complicated emotions.

The meeting in the main hall just now was not long, but everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile. On the one hand, they met the leading figures of their generation, who were indeed extraordinary. On the other hand, they also know that there may be storms and they must be prepared.

After the people were almost gone, Zhou Qing opened his eyes, looked down, and found that there were only three people left in the hall, two men and one woman.

"Zhou Xibai, Zhou Lingling, Zhou Wangzhi."

Zhou Qing was not surprised, his eyes were quiet and could not be seen.

In an ordinary aristocratic family, no matter how high the level of elixir is, if the children are willing to participate, they can do so. For them, being able to participate in an alchemy meeting, make a show, and get a few comments from others is a bit of experience, which is of great benefit.

However, top families such as the Luochuan Zhou family take all aspects into consideration, and if they want to participate in the alchemy meeting, they must at least have a middle-grade alchemy.

The difference between what is an ordinary aristocratic family and what is a top aristocratic family is reflected in all aspects.

Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the three of them, and said: "For the Dan meeting, our Luochuan Zhou family will be led by me, and we will go together when the time comes."

Seeing that the three of them were listening attentively, Zhou Qing spoke directly and neatly, saying: "At the alchemy meeting, not only major aristocratic families will participate, but also real people from other sects will be invited, so we must perform well and not let others underestimate us. We are the Zhou family of Luochuan.”

The more Zhou Xibai and the others listened, the more serious their expressions became. They had been growing up in the Luochuan Zhou family's clan since they were children. Among other things, they maintained the family's reputation deep into their bones.

When it comes to the family's reputation, they will definitely go all out.

At the alchemy meeting, the alchemy power of the participants will be weighed. For new alchemy monks, the higher the level of the alchemy, the higher the power of the alchemy.

However, if a monk has talent and is willing to work hard and practice continuously, he can become familiar with the golden elixir and barely improve his elixir power.

It is difficult to improve like this, but the three of them have decided that before the alchemy meeting has started, they will practice hard day and night, and they will be able to increase a little bit.

Above the sky, a flying palace with the strange texture of Qingxuan Sect is flying away. From time to time, meteors will fly through the sky, and the bright colors caused by the friction with the atmosphere will hit the glazed jade windows of the flying palace, making it colorful. One piece, like the bright fireworks rising outside.

Pei Yunxiu wore a bun and a small skirt with lotus leaves. She held her face in her hands and looked at the shooting stars outside, mumbling for a while.

I don’t know whether he was calculating the speed of the meteors breaking through the sky or making a wish on the meteors. Anyway, he was pouting and mumbling something that he couldn’t hear clearly.

After a while, Pei Yunxiu stopped, turned around, looked at a middle-aged Taoist priest who was drinking slowly with his eyes narrowed, and pouted: "Uncle Jiu, how long will it take to get to Zhenyi Sect?"

"Soon, soon."

The middle-aged Taoist priest ignored the cuteness that was so close to him, and continued to drink with a perfunctory remark.

Seeing this, Pei Yunxiu stamped his feet, stretched out his hand, picked up the wine pot on the jade table, and put it behind him.

"Oh."

The wine pot was snatched away, the middle-aged Taoist opened his eyes, glared at her, deliberately put on a stern face, and said: "Give me the wine pot."

"No." Pei Yunxiu was not afraid of him, she made a face and said: "Uncle Jiu, you haven't answered my question yet."

The middle-aged Taoist had no choice, he estimated the distance, and then said: "We will be there the day after tomorrow."

"Uncle Jiu." Pei Yunxiu was a person who couldn't sit still, she asked again: "Why are we going to participate in the Zhenyi Sect's alchemy meeting?"

"Someone invited us, so we went to take a look."

The middle-aged Taoist looked very casual, he adjusted his Taoist crown, there was a cloud of dark green on the top of the door, two clouds bloomed above, and inside, the lush and fragrant star color was agitated, falling continuously, but silently.

The star color reflected in his eyes, a deep and deep, far from his surface free and unrestrained, but gave people a sense of calmness with wisdom in hand.

Pei Yunxiu didn't believe it and asked again.

"Someone did invite us." The middle-aged Taoist said first, then he paused for a moment, organized his words, and said: "In addition, Zhenyi Sect has been making frequent moves recently, and it has attracted a lot of attention."

"There is such a thing?" Pei Yunxiu opened his eyes wide, with an innocent look on his face, and said: "Why don't I know?"

"You only play with your flowers and plants, what else do you know?"

The middle-aged Taoist pointed at his niece with his hand, but he knew in his heart that the actions of Zhenyi Sect were at the upper level, and were taken by Dongtian Zhenren, as fast as thunder, and had not caused a great aftermath, so ordinary people really didn't know.

"There is more." The middle-aged Taoist continued to point at his niece, saying: "I heard from the little guy Shi Qilang that he met two extremely outstanding peers of Zhenyi Sect in Yanji, which was amazing. This time you go to Zhenyi Sect, you should also have a good look, so that you don't rely on your good qualifications to sit in the well and see the world."
