Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Zhenyi Sect, Gongdeyuan.

On this day, it was dusk, the setting sun fell behind the mountain, and the afterglow shot over and hit the thousand-foot steps, dyeing the originally spotless jade steps with a kind of agate red. From a distance, it was like countless flames jumping, full of precious aura, and magnificent.

Two serving Taoist children stood in front of the door, talking in a low voice, with a bright look on their faces.

In recent times, there have been many more people coming to Gongdeyuan than in the past. They are tired of welcoming and seeing off, but they can also get some rewards. For small people like them, this is a great thing.

At this time, suddenly, a light sound came from a distance, and then a clear light came across, like a rainbow bridge, polished by the afterglow of the setting sun, dyed with a layer of bright red, like rouge quenching, beautiful, and a kind of sharpness that hits the face.

The two Taoist boys heard the sound and looked at the rainbow bridge. They felt that the bright white and golden light in the sky was jumping and colliding constantly. The clanging sound went straight into their hearts and made them feel cold.

They were immediately startled, looked at each other, and immediately straightened their clothes and went to meet him. Such a strange appearance showed that the person coming was definitely not an ordinary disciple.

As expected, the two Taoist boys looked at the young man who walked out after the rainbow light disappeared. His eyes were clear and his temperament was solemn. They recognized the other party's identity.

It turned out to be Zhou Qing, the true disciple of the sect, the owner of Taihe Island, and the leader of the younger generation of the Luochuan Zhou family.

"Meetings, Island Master Zhou."

The two Taoist boys stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

In their eyes, although the young man in front of them was not one of the top ten disciples in the sect, his reputation was no less than that of the top ten disciples in the sect.

After all, the first-class elixir was shocking and unprecedented. Even in the Zhenyi Sect, it was famous and everyone knew it.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Qing's fame in the sect is far beyond what a newly promoted Dan can summarize.

Zhou Qing was in a good mood, and he was gentle to the two boys, saying: "I completed some tasks outside, and this is a good time to hand them in."

The Taoist boy on the left heard it and immediately said: "Master Zhou, please follow me."

Zhou Qing nodded, followed behind, passed the front hall, and then entered the inner hall through the middle door. As soon as he entered, there were cold lights coming through the air, hitting people's eyebrows, and dyeing the surroundings into a jade color.

He stopped and looked at it, and saw that in the inner hall, there were pillars erected one by one, each of which was engraved with star patterns, as big as a bucket, and in the center, there was a new moon, a faint and bright, and the rest of the ground was quiet and cold.

In the center of a circle of jade pillars, there is a raised platform with a jade table on it. Behind the jade table sits a Taoist priest. He looks young and handsome, but his temples are frosted, his eyes are deep and full of vicissitudes. It is obvious that he is actually quite old and has been practicing for a long time. Moreover, there is a cloud on the top of his head, which holds a treasure map. A group of exquisite cranes dance on it, which seems real or illusory.

Such a cloud is obviously a real person who has broken the elixir and condensed the infant.

"Master Ge."

Zhou Qing saw it and stepped forward to pay his respects. On the way here, the Taoist boy on duty had already introduced the origin of the elder sitting here to him in advance.

"Zhou Qing."

Seeing Zhou Qing coming in, Master Ge was startled at first, and then a smile appeared on his face. He looked very humble and ordered the Taoist boy to move a seat for Zhou Qing to sit on the platform.

Seeing this, the Taoist boy hurriedly moved a chair and put it on the stage, saying to Zhou Qing: "Master Zhou, please sit down."

As he spoke, he was also admiring in his heart that this person in front of him was really amazing, and he could actually be treated like this by the deacons and elders in the courtyard.

You know, this is the Merit Courtyard, which has a very high status in the sect. It is very good for ordinary people to come in and see the relevant deacons and elders immediately. Those who can stay for a while must have a background. It is really rare to arrange seats directly like this.

Such treatment, even if it is not the treatment of the top ten disciples in the sect, is not much different.

Zhou Qing's eyes flashed, and he sat down calmly with his sleeves spread out, his eyes clear.

Even though he was facing a Yuanying cultivator whose realm and cultivation were far above his own, and he was still in the Merit Courtyard, he was calm, not anxious or impatient, and had a natural equality.

With his current status and future in the True One Sect, even if this Ge Zhenren from the Merit Courtyard seemed too attentive, he didn't need to be too cautious.

Looking at Zhou Qing's performance, a golden light flashed in the eyes of this Ge Zhenren. He smiled and said, "Island Master Zhou here to hand in the task this time?"

"Yes." Zhou Qing nodded and said directly, "Recently, I have been outside the mountain gate and followed the clan to complete some tasks."

"The action of Nanchuan Daze, Island Master Zhou, you can participate. This is a rare opportunity." When Ge Zhenren spoke, there was a light flashing in his eyes again, saying, "Yesterday Wuzhong's task has been reviewed and approved by the academy. I took a look and gained a lot."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "At least, there are several great merits."

In the Merit Academy, there are small merits, great merits and upper merits. Eighteen small merits accumulate to one great merit, and nine great merits accumulate to one upper merit.

Although the great merit is not as good as the upper merit, it is not easy to obtain, and it can be exchanged for the upper merit after accumulation.

It must be said that it is very rare to get several great merits in just one line.

After listening to this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but glance at Master Ge opposite him. He could vaguely hear that when the other party mentioned Wuzhong, there was a deep meaning in his tone.

As the newly promoted Nine Sun Judge in the Merit Academy, Wu Zhong would not stay quiet in the Merit Academy with his background and means. He would definitely do something. Could it be that Wu Zhong's entry violated the interests of the Ge Zhenren in front of him? This is not impossible.

Zhou Qing turned his thoughts, but did not speak.

Ge Zhenren smiled, stretched out his hand, and said: "Give me the task talisman, I will report it as soon as possible for review. The sect attaches great importance to the action in Nanchuan Lake this time, and the review of the tasks for this action will be very fast."

"Okay."

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment, took out a jade basket from his sleeve bag, and placed a stack of jade cards in it. A circle of blood was diffused in the bright white light.

Ge Zhenren took it over, glanced at it, and the smile on his face froze. There was no other reason, the number of jade cards in it was really quite a lot, and the blood color on the jade cards was thick, some of which far exceeded the average Danhua demon cultivator.

This person in front of him went to Nanchuan Lake and killed so many Danhua demon cultivators. How did he do it?

Master Ge looked at Zhou Qing deeply, rubbed his hands, marked the jade cards, and waved them gently. One by one, the jade cards flew up, like streams of light, and fell on the jade pillars of different lengths on the ground in order.

He had a judgment that the rising genius in the sect in front of him might have made another achievement this time.
