Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Wu Zhong walked up the mountain road, with bright flowers and trees on both sides, and rows of pines and bamboos. The wind blew and fell on the sleeves, with a faint sound.

Being in it, the whole person was immersed in the coolness, with a gloomy look between the eyebrows, and the coldness hit the face.

After walking for a while, he came to the mountain. There was a small lake in front of him, with glittering waves, the sky was dyed down, and the colorful brilliance rose, like a scroll.

He stood by the lake for a while, and a half-foot-long golden carp swam over from a distance, shaking its tail lightly, hitting the water, and creating ripples. It held a pearl in its mouth, and a crisp sound sounded in the blooming light, saying: "Shangzhen, Meng Zhenren is in the pavilion in the center of the lake."

After speaking, the golden carp turned its head and swam to the center of the lake. While swimming, it looked back, wondering if the people behind it had caught up.

Wu Zhong saw it, smiled, waved his sleeves, stepped on the water, and naturally a Dansha power rose from his back, like a bright moon hanging in the sky, and the whole person rode the wind and followed closely.

Not long after, the pavilion in the center of the lake was in sight.

A female fairy was standing in the pavilion, without a crown on her head, her black hair hung to her waist, her skin was like the finest white jade, shining and flawless under the skylight.

There was also a precious bell hanging on a jade rack in the pavilion, which was less than a foot high. The bell body was clear and had tiny seal characters like ants, with clear and white colors rubbing against each other, which was very simple. As soon as Wu Zhong arrived, the textures on the precious bell lit up layer by layer, and then the clear sound resounded and spread far away.

Wu Zhong looked at Master Meng who turned around after hearing the bell, stepped forward to salute, and said: "Junior Wu Zhong, meet Master."

Seeing the handsome Wu Zhong, Master Meng, a female fairy, rarely smiled and said: "That little girl Sile came, but she didn't say much."

Her voice was soft, not condescending, but like she was talking to a peer. After all, Wu Zhong in front of him was not only a genius of the second level of Dancheng of the Xia Yuan Wu family, a true disciple of the sect, but also a disciple of a Dongtian Master of the Zuoqiu Meng family where she was. The difference in status between the two was far less than the difference in their realms.

Wu Zhong entered the pavilion and raised his head slightly. The jade color of the precious bell hit his face, shining like snow, a piece of frost white. His courtesy to the female Zhenren in front of him did not seem to change much. He was still calm and steady, not arrogant or impatient. He said: "The Zhenren called me here to ask about the matter of Fuling Island?"

Zhenren Meng nodded, waved his slender hand, and the water rose and the clouds cooled, the smoke curled, and the map appeared. He said: "I heard from Sile that the progress is quite smooth, but I don't believe it."

Wu Zhong heard it and understood in his heart that the other party was a Zhenren from Zuoqiu Meng's family. Even if he knew that Zhou Qing did a good job, he would not admit it in his words.

However, Wu Zhong thought of Zhou Qing's methods that he had seen and heard along the way, and straightened his expression and told the story without exaggeration or belittling, telling the truth as it was.

Master Meng listened silently, and there was no change on her face, but spots of different sizes appeared around her, scattered in an orderly manner, like stars falling from the sky, constantly flickering, showing that her heart was not calm.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, but just looked at the distant sky, where the golden and fire energy came from afar, and then was blocked by the evil energy of Nanchuan Lake, colliding with each other, forming a dazzling star halo, condensing but not dispersing.

They were thinking about making a big fuss about Zhou Qing, and their rising posture was unstoppable, silently calculating how to act in the future.

On the island, a fragrant house.

Outside, the frosty moon was all over the ground, and the cold light shot out, hitting the wings of a thin crane dozing on a lonely branch, with an indescribable chill.

Gradually, it could be seen that from the open window of the fragrant house, light wheels kept flying out, half of which were bright white and half were deep, and there were more and more, more than thousands, drifting and falling, stirring up the autumn colors around, covering up a lot of the chill.

As soon as the halo appeared, the water vapor and the gold energy from all directions gathered together as if being guided, forming various wonderful forms, with gold and water coexisting in harmony.

As time passed, the colors became darker and more colorful, and the whole area was filled with wonderful sounds and lingering jade fragrance.

However, people outside could not see such a scene, because at some point, a precious flag was hung above the incense house, and the flag surface moved without wind, and endless blue lotus flowers fell, with precious beads on the lotus flowers.

It was the mysterious Eastern Treasure Lotus Flag. Once this mysterious weapon fell, it naturally obscured the qi, so that the breath of practicing and breaking through the barriers would not be detected by the outside world.

Zhou Qing sat upright in the quiet room in the incense house, with clouds rolling on the top of his head. In his spiritual platform, the sweet rain from the strange treasure Creation Green Pool was pouring into his Danhai continuously, and then after his mysterious power was circulated, it turned into Dansha power.

It must be said that since entering the Fuling Island and killing many demon cultivators in the Danhua realm, a lot of sweet rain has been accumulated for the Creation Green Pond. In addition to the sweet rain that is naturally produced every day in the Creation Green Pond, the Green Pond is now fragrant.

In order to cope with the changes and defend the Changming Eighteen Islands after the Yuanying True Immortals left, Zhou Qing decisively mobilized the sweet rain in the Creation Green Pond and converted it into Danli to improve his cultivation.

Compared with using the sweet rain in the Creation Green Pond to supplement the lack of mana in the body, converting it into Danli in this way does not bring out the best use of the sweet rain. However, there are priorities, and we must make some choices and give up some things. Now we need to improve our realm cultivation.

Not only is Zhou Qing's talent astonishing, but he is also personally guided by his master Guande, who is at the level of a celestial being. There are no problems or bottlenecks in the cultivation of the alchemy realm. From the first level of alchemy to the second level of alchemy, all he needs to do is to continuously accumulate elixir power. .

In fact, if Zhou Qing Dan had not become a first-grade pill, the amount of pill power needed to accumulate in this realm would be unimaginable. Even with other high-grade golden pills, he would have been promoted to the second level of alchemy based on his original cultivation. But now, as Zhou Qing once again did not hesitate to consume the rain in the blue pond created by the exotic treasure to convert into alchemy power, the speed at which he accumulated alchemy power soared again.

I don’t know how long it took, but when the rain that created the green pond became less and less, and only a thin layer was left covering the bottom of the pond, there was a sudden shock in the Zhou Qing Dan Sea, and the golden elixir inside suddenly gathered all the elixir power. Inside, the Tao body's upper and lower parts were completely empty, with no elixir left at all.

The entire sea of ​​elixirs was peaceful, with only the solitary golden elixir hanging there, motionless and very heavy.

In this kind of heaviness, Zhou Qing felt a feeling of fullness. Everything inside was full and no more could enter.

Zhou Qing looked at the golden elixir in the elixir sea with his spiritual consciousness. The brilliance on its surface had also faded away, and it had become simple and simple. It was the weight and fullness after the prosperity was washed away. It did not increase or decrease, and was round and self-sufficient.

Immersed in such a state, time seemed to slow down and there was no concept. Zhou Qing paid attention to the golden elixir, and the energy in his body kept changing.

It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like an instant, only a "bang" was heard, and a strange sound sounded from the golden elixir. At the beginning, it was inaudible. After a while, it gradually became louder, roaring like thunder, louder than the roar of mountains and tsunamis. Domineering, contains a kind of overflowing violence.

The sound became louder and louder, and when it fell on Zhou Qing's consciousness, it was reflected with vibrations and crackling sounds.

Just hearing the last roar, the golden elixir suddenly trembled, and all the power of the elixir inside was spit out, like a vast ocean. Wherever it went, it collided with the muscles and bones in the Tao body, rubbing out a kind of light, and the remaining colors naturally became Dizzy, there is an echo.

"Second level of alchemy."

Zhou Qing sensed the changes in his golden elixir, and the Qi in his body changed again. The flying rainbow condensed colors like a ring of light, reflecting the smile on his face.

He was officially promoted from the first level of alchemy to a true monk of the second level of alchemy, as if he were fake.

From the first level of the elixir to the second level of the elixir, there is nothing complicated in the cultivation. It is just a matter of constantly accumulating elixir power. When the elixir power in the golden elixir is perfected, you will be successfully promoted.

But after the promotion is successful, you will find that compared to the first level of the elixir, after being promoted to the second level of the elixir, not only the power of the elixir that can be contained in the golden elixir has been greatly improved, but also the elixir in the golden elixir will be greatly improved. The process of transforming the power of evil into mana is smoother and more comfortable.

When it comes to fighting skills specifically, it can only be said that Zhou Qing's strength has steadily risen to a higher level.

As for other changes and advancements, there are many.

"call."

Zhou Qing exhaled a breath, stood up, came to the window, and looked outside. He had just been promoted to the second level of alchemy, and his whole body seemed to be emitting light, dazzling.

At this moment, there was a sound coming from outside. Zhou Qing removed the cover of the mysterious Dongfang Baolian flag and saw Hou Jinyuan standing outside the incense house.

When Hou Jinyuan saw Zhou Qing coming out unhurriedly, he was shocked and said: "Brother, Master Zhou is about to leave. I want to see you again before leaving."

When Zhou Qing heard this, his expression straightened and he said, "Then let's go now."

"Let's go."

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhou Qing met Zhou Tianyan, the man in charge of the overall situation, who was married to the legitimate daughter of the Hou family of Hengqu.

The real Yuanying Master stood in front of the pavilion with his hands folded. Behind him, the ground was full of flowers, and the fragrance was dense. They flew up to the jade table and dyed the copper stove above with a layer of bright color, which was quiet and natural.

He looked at the sky, where a flying palace that was ten times larger than Linyu's flying palace was stationary, and tiny bits of light kept flying out, coating the surrounding area with a layer of frost. Above the Flying Palace, under the light of the sky, it looks like gold gathered together, its color is brilliant, and it is like a bronze mirror set up with fire beads inlaid, illuminating the inside and outside.

Just by looking at it, there is an air of conquest, trying to break through the haze in the hinterland of Daze.

Zhou Tianyan sensed Zhou Qing's arrival, turned around, and was about to speak. Immediately after he sensed it, a cloud turned above the door, like a pearl rising and falling, and the clouds parted to see the sun. He was startled, and then smiled: "Originally, I still I feel that leaving you to garrison the Eighteen Islands of Changming is a bit heavy. Looking at it now, I am overly worried."

Zhou Qing listened and smiled slightly. He did not hide his Qi. This real person had discovered that he had been promoted to the second level of alchemy.
