Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Looking from a distance, two auras were rising in the hall. One was magnificent and vast, as brilliant as a frost river, and the sparkling water color soaked the surroundings with a layer of jade-like glass color, spotless. The other was barely perceptible, with the appearance of gold and water, flowing around, and strands of aura naturally condensed into beads. Although it was only the light of a firefly, it was bright and pure, like a lotus that grew by itself, condensing without dispersing.

After an unknown period of time, the magnificent and clear light disappeared, and the remaining one seemed to have opened up the key points, making gurgling sounds, like a spring, and the jade color gradually rose, and the exquisite color, like the color of bamboo covered with snow, fell down and filled the inside and outside.

After a month, Zhou Qing opened his eyes again, and the high platform above was empty, leaving only a setting sun hanging in the air, smoke and clouds, condensing without dispersing, and Guande Zhenren had left and disappeared.

He stood in the hall, looking up to see the high platform, with a bright light in front and behind him, jade color flowing, halo up and down, magnificent, and silent for a while.

He had been tempered for three lives, and he was knowledgeable and had amazing comprehension. He also had a rare treasure like the Creation Green Pond, and he was refining his body of Taoism day after day, which made him even more extraordinary. Now that he had the teachings of Guande Zhenren, he was able to teach and answer questions patiently, and the confusion of this stage of cultivation was swept away, and the clouds were cleared and the sky was full of sunshine.

At this moment, Zhou Qing's Dansha power was still the original Dansha power, but when he used it, he did not see the blockage and bloating just now. He had a perfect and satisfactory feeling, which was completely different.

It must be said that with the guidance of Dongtian Zhenren from a high-level perspective, he could solve the confusion below and see the way forward above, and he suddenly became clear.

This kind of progress is very rare.

After the doubts were solved in the hall today, the first level of Danhua is now on a straight path. Next, as long as I follow the mysterious skills, keep my heart of Tao, and accumulate Dansha power with slow work, I will be able to break through to the second level of Danhua.

"It's time to go back to the clan."

Zhou Qing thought of what his sixth uncle Zhou Chen said when he came to Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven on the day of his apprenticeship. He bowed to the empty high platform above and then retreated.

When he got outside, Zhou Qing looked at the sky, waved his sleeves, and a stream of smoke and mist rose under his feet, as white as frost and snow, supporting his body, leaving this place and going outside Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven.

Because the confusion in cultivation just now was cleared up by the master Guande Zhenren in the hall, his body and mind were clear and bright, and he was in a very good mood, so he controlled the escape light, not hurriedly, while flying, watching the scenery of the cave heaven, and thinking about his development in the family, cave heaven and sect.

In this world, cultivation is not just about talent. The further you go, the more you need the support of cultivation resources.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. Without cultivation resources, no matter how talented you are, you cannot cultivate.

Where do cultivation resources come from? On the one hand, you can pick them with your own hands. On the other hand, and most importantly, you can rely on the support of the forces behind you.

"We have to speed up the progress."

Zhou Qing glanced at it with the corner of his eyes. From time to time, there were golden rays of light falling in the cave, clustered together, countless, and shooting up and down. But if you look closely, there is a touch of dusk color, attached to the upper and lower, adding a twilight to the original bright color.

Originally, the realm of the real person in the cave has been reached, and you can open up your own cave, which can not only gather spiritual energy and facilitate cultivation, but also be a place to protect the body. Once you fight with others or encounter a catastrophe, the Dharma body can escape directly back to the cave through traction. The cave is there, as solid as a rock.

Therefore, the real person of the cave has always carefully polished his cave, infusing it with a huge amount of spiritual energy, like the sun rising in the east, full of vitality and boundless.

However, in the spiritual energy of the Changling Miaozhen Yudao cave, there is a ray of dusk, which is very abnormal. It can only mean that the master of the cave is not in the right state and can no longer maintain the operation of the cave as in its heyday.

Zhou Qing shook his head secretly. This is an irreversible moment. What he can do is to maintain it if he really has the opportunity to inherit the Changling Miaozhen Yudao cave in the future. Don't collapse.

At this moment, if he is aware of something, he sees a cloud of gas shooting from a distance, circling countless golden rays, merging together, colorful. On it, light and sound intertwined, clustering a treasure map, and on the half-rolled map, a young man stood.

This young man wore a golden crown, thin eyebrows and long eyes, and wore a brocade robe embroidered with flowers, birds, insects and fish. There was a kind of jumping between his eyebrows that could not be concealed. Behind him, four very beautiful maids held incense burners and treasure fans, and they were very graceful.

The young man held a beautifully shaped wine bottle in one hand, and let the maid behind him fan the wind. Above the top of his head, the power of Dansha gurgled, with a green color.

The treasure map came sideways and blocked in front of Zhou Qing. The young man sitting on the treasure map raised his head, looked at Zhou Qing, and said, "But is it in front of Junior Brother Zhou?"

His voice was neither loud nor soft, but as soon as he spoke, it gave people a very frivolous feeling, and people thought of idleness as soon as they heard it.

Zhou Qing stopped the escape light, and the circles of brilliant white under his feet turned like a halo, dazzling and dazzling. He looked at the other party and frowned.

Judging from the other party's behavior, he should be the second generation ancestor of Changling Miaozhen Yudao Dongtian, but he had no impression.

At least, the other party was not too important in Changling Miaozhen Yudao Dongtian, otherwise, the information given to him by the clan would not be without the other party's information.

The young man with the treasure map seemed to know that Zhou Qing didn't recognize him. He smiled and took a sip of wine. Behind him, there was a maid who understood him. Seeing this, she spoke in a clear voice: "This is Master Xiaoshan, the nephew of Master Cai, the Lord of the Cave Heaven. He has been practicing in the Cave Heaven since he was a child."

"He is really a second-generation ancestor."

Zhou Qing sighed inwardly. No wonder the other party was so careless and undisciplined. With such a background, he never left the house. He had never experienced the wind and rain.

Thinking of this, his expression turned cold, but he remained calm. He just said, "I don't know if you are blocking my way. What can I teach you?"

That is, Zhou Qing saw that the other party was indeed very closely related to his teacher Guande Zhenren. Otherwise, with his current status and background, he would not give him a good face.

Cai Xiaoshan did not seem to notice the change in Zhou Qing's tone. He said directly, "Zhou Qing, we are very happy that you can worship under my uncle and become his last disciple."

"Hmm?"

Zhou Qing was startled. He originally thought that the other party was arrogant and domineering. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing to show his goodwill to him?

However, Zhou Qing reacted quickly. He smiled and talked to Cai Xiaoshan in the treasure map opposite, as if he had met him too late.

The second generation ancestor on the opposite side was of average realm and potential, but no matter what, just based on the blood relationship, it was known that he was a local snake in Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven.

Such a local snake's surrender would be of great help to the future control of Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven.

After talking for a long time, Zhou Qing said goodbye and left.

Cai Xiaoshan looked at Zhou Qing's back as he left, picked up the wine bottle, took a sip, and was very happy, shaking his head.

The beautiful maid who had just announced Cai Xiaoshan's identity came forward, hugged Cai Xiaoshan's arm, and said, "Master, do you want to associate with this person?"

Cai Xiaoshan nodded, and stroked the maid's smooth chin with one hand, which was delicate and cold, and smiled: "Beauty, what do you think?"

"I dare not." The maid said first, but she thought of her own master's kindness, and couldn't help saying, "I heard that the disciples of the real master are generally very cold to this Zhou Qing. Master, you associate with him..."

Cai Xiaoshan saw the maid's concern and couldn't help but smile, saying, "The ones who have conflicts with Zhou Qing are the disciples of the real master. They think that Zhou Qing has divided their cultivation resources and will affect their inheritance of Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven."

Speaking of this, Cai Xiaoshan smiled even more and said, "I don't have such a big ambition. I just need to be free and happy for the rest of my life. What conflict does Zhou Qing have with me?"

The maid listened, thought about it, and nodded.

Zhou Qing is a first-class Dancheng and the last disciple of Dongtian Zhenren. He must have lofty ambitions and wants to reach a higher realm. His young master likes fine wine and beautiful women, is unrestrained and free, and there is indeed no conflict between him and him.

However, there is no conflict between his young master and Zhou Qing. It is fine to live in peace. Why do we need to have more contact? Wouldn't that make other disciples of Zhenren unhappy?

Cai Xiaoshan saw it, but didn't say anything else. He just flirted with his maid again.

He really has no ambitions. He likes fine wine and beautiful women. He is very proud. His Danhua cultivation is basically piled up with elixirs. It is completely a flower stand. But in a high-level sect like Zhenyi Sect, it is not easy to always do his own thing and take revenge.

In the past, he could still dominate the area with the name of Guande Zhenren, but with the disaster of Guande Zhenren and the shrinking of the power of Changling Miaozhen Yudao Dongtian, he sometimes suffered setbacks when walking in the sect.

Cai Xiaoshan and other second-generation ancestors were in a panic. This was even the case with Guande Zhenren, the real person in the cave heaven. Once there was a big change in Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven, their good days would be over!

As for the disciples of Guande Zhenren, in the eyes of Cai Xiaoshan and others, they could not take on the responsibility in a short time!

At this time, Zhou Qing appeared. He worshipped in Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven and became Guande Zhenren's closed disciple. This made Cai Xiaoshan and other second-generation ancestors in the cave heaven brighten their eyes, as if there was a new choice in front of them.

Zhou Qing's cultivation level was indeed not high, but his first-grade elixir was shocking and unprecedented. More importantly, he had a top family like Luochuan Zhou behind him.

Make friends with Zhou Qing and continue to use the power of the tiger in the future.

Speaking of Zhou Qing, after leaving Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven, he stepped on the escape light and walked towards Danyangzhou.

"Cai Xiaoshan, Cai Zhaoqing, Guande Zhenren."

Zhou Qing was flying while thinking, stringing together the things in the cave heaven, faintly, like a pearl, shining in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Cai Zhaoqing and others competed with him for the resources of Changling Miaozhen Yudao Dongtian, so the innate relationship was tense. And Cai Xiaoshan and other second-generation ancestors should take advantage of the power of Luochuan Zhou behind him, and they can become his helpers. Master Guande Zhenren should be sentimental from the contact.

Thinking in this way, if he really wants to inherit Changling Miaozhen Yudao Dongtian in the future, he may not be able to use brute force, but also clever force, a little thought and skill.

The more Zhou Qing thought about it, the clearer his understanding of the situation in Changling Miaozhen Yudao Dongtian was. His eyes were bright, his heart was confident, and his spirits were high.

No words were spoken on the way. After Zhou Qing arrived at Danyangzhou, he sent a flying book, identified the direction, and continued to move forward.

After walking for a while, a peak suddenly rose in front of him. There was nothing below. Thousands of rocks flew down from all around, rubbing against the atmosphere, forming dazzling flames. From a distance, the sky was full of golden fire, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and there was a change in the sky.

Zhou Qing took a look and walked straight forward to the top of the peak, where he saw the Taoist temple with its door open.

There was a boy standing at the door of the Taoist temple. When he saw Zhou Qing coming, he stepped forward to salute and said, "Mr. Qing, the elders are inside the temple."

Zhou Qing nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked in. He found the clan leader sitting on a high platform. There was nothingness above the top door, and there was a horizontal stripe above his eyebrows, like a third eye.

"Sit down."

Clan elder Zhou Sheng and Zhou Zhenren waved the dust in their hands and asked Zhou Qing to sit down with a pleasant look on his face.

In a family, the status of the direct lineage far exceeds that of the collateral lines, but within the direct lineage, there are also three or five levels according to the power behind them. According to this score, their branch is not very outstanding among the Zhou clan in Luochuan. Among the direct lineages, the most powerful ones are those with caves and immortals. But after Zhou Qingdan became the first grade, their team became famous in the Luochuan Zhou family, which can be said to be the pinnacle of so many years.

As the true leader of this team, he has been really proud of himself recently. Not only is he famous, but he has also received many practical benefits.

"Elder of the clan."

After Zhou Qing sat down, he first reported to the clan elders above him about his affairs in Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave, including his training, people, situations, etc., everything was as it was, with almost nothing hidden.

Now that he has the support of his family, he does not need to fight alone. In such a situation, he needs to work together.

The elder of the clan, Master Zhou Sheng, listened very carefully. After listening, he pondered for a while and said: "A cave-like person like Master Guande must do what he says. With Master Guande guiding you, you have nothing to worry about in your cultivation." ”

The guidance of an enlightened person from a high position can not only lay a deep foundation for cultivation, but also broaden one's horizons. The teachings of famous teachers are really important.

In fact, it is rare to get the careful teachings of Master Guande, and what is even more rare is that Zhou Qing can also get the teachings of Master Tianming, and have the opportunity to combine the strengths of the two families. This is truly rare.

"The matter of Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave," Master Zhou was more cautious about this, saying: "You are in the game, and your judgment is the main one. If you need any help, just talk to the clan directly."

"But one thing you need to know is that if you really plan to inherit Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave, then the opinion of Master Guande is the most important."

Although Master Guande and the Luochuan Zhou family have a tacit understanding and are optimistic that Zhou Qing will inherit Changling Miaozhen Yudaodongtian, there are still hundreds of years to go. What will happen depends on Master Guande's final decision.

If during this period, Master Guande is really unhappy, or in other ways, Luochuan Zhou would not be able to say much in his capacity as a Celestial Master.

Seeing Zhou Qing thoughtful, Zhou Sheng changed the subject and said, "Then let's talk about your appointment in the sect."
