Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Such a brutal and overbearing man is beyond anyone's expectation.

"Maybe."

Zhou Qing's eyes were clear, and there was a deep water light on his head. The precious colors were circling and hanging, and they were fine and fragmented, back and forth, and the remaining colors fell down, interpreting the hexagram, not deducing, but presenting his speculation.

At this moment, the small seal of Dou Lei Yuan's flag bearer on his waist suddenly moved, and a trace of precious aura emerged from the engraved patterns on it. Its color was like frost, from bottom to top, and then it circled left and right, forming a bronze mirror, hanging motionless.

The next moment, the mirror surface was rippled in circles, and the thunder was faint, and the seal characters jumped. The four flag bearers of Dou Lei Yuan appeared, each guarding a place with a serious expression.

Bai Lang sat on the cloud chair, the moonlight spread on the spotless brick surface, making his eyebrows colorful. He glanced at Zhou Qing and saw the sparkling waves behind him. He frowned and said, "Brother Zhou, are you still outside?"

Zhou Qing stood with his hands behind his back, and threw out the stars from a distance behind him, which spread out brilliantly. He replied, "The harvest is not great. I plan to look for more."

Bai Lang listened and did not speak for the time being. He just looked at the other three flag bearers in the hall with an inexplicable expression.

It is not known whether the new flag bearer who was contacted really did not harvest much or not, but the other party has never returned to Fei Palace since he came to Nanchuan Lake. This alone is amazing.

They searched and encircled the "mutated" water monsters in the dark rivers, deep ditches, and caves under the water of the lake. They were cautious and went all out, which consumed a lot. If they were unlucky, they would be on the verge of danger and barely hold on when they encountered a sudden typhoon, rainstorm, and continuous fog.

It is easy to be exhausted physically and mentally when suppressing the "mutated" water monster in the Great Marsh.

Even the Dou Lei Yuan flag bearers with extraordinary abilities like them could not hold on for less than three months, so they returned to the Flying Palace to rest and recover.

Zhou Qing, the newly promoted flag bearer, was not outstanding among the five flag bearers, but he could stay out all the time, which was indeed extraordinary.

Bai Lang collected his complicated thoughts, straightened the crown on his head, and said again: "Junior Brother Zhou, there have been unexpected changes in the Great Marsh."

Zhou Qing did not speak, he slightly raised his head, looked at the mirror light, and seemed to be listening attentively.

Bai Lang looked serious, and told the story in a slightly heavy voice, saying: "... In recent times, the family has suffered a lot of losses, and our Dou Lei Yuan also has children who have never returned. According to our inference, there are fierce monsters hiding in the Great Marsh, and they are gathering people and growing stronger."

Zhou Qing listened and nodded, with a dark color in his pupils.

He had known that some of the children of the noble families had been harmed by the water monster, but he had not expected that the children of Dou Lei Yuan had also been harmed in the Great Swamp. The number of these two combined was not small at all.

Considering the sharp increase in the number in recent period of time, it can indeed be inferred that the one or several evil monsters in the Great Swamp are not only getting stronger, but also have connections with each other and can work together to commit crimes.

Seeing that Zhou Qing had been silent, Bai Lang took a look and said, "The water monster that committed the crime in the Great Swamp is very powerful. Even if it is not as powerful as the Yuanying Zhenren, the difference is not too big."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing raised his head, his eyes were bright and bright, and he said, "If there is such an evil monster, we are in danger in the Great Swamp."

With such a powerful evil monster, if there is a favorable time and place, let alone the cultivators in the Huadan realm, even those in the Hepo realm can easily overturn if they are not careful.

However, Zhou Qing looked back at himself, looking at the magical seed of Daozhong and the magic weapon that moved around it, the power of Dansha was endless and calm. He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Bai, what are your plans?"

Bai Lang had already made up his mind, so he spoke calmly at this time, "We may not be able to solve the matter in the Great Lake for a while. So we discussed it and decided to send a letter to the academy first, so that the academy can send someone. On the other hand, it is best for us to act together, with at least two flag bearers leading the team."

Zhou Qing nodded. This was indeed a mature and prudent move.

The flag bearers of Dou Lei Academy are not simple people. The two of them joined forces. Even if they encountered a trap set by the evil monster in the Great Lake, they could still send a letter in the worst case.

The biggest possibility is that the evil monster was afraid of the two flag bearers and would not take action.

After Bai Lang finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Qing and said directly, "Let's go back to Fei Palace as soon as possible. It's not safe outside."

The other three people in the hall also nodded at the same time to express their agreement. Although they each have their own backgrounds and thoughts, when they are out, as the flag bearers of Dou Lei Yuan, no one wants their companions to get into trouble.

What surprised them was that Zhou Qing did not speak immediately, but raised his eyebrows and stood on the waves. Behind him, a meteor happened to streak through the night sky, illuminating the depth of his eyes.

Bai Lang was stunned when he saw this, but he still said in a questioning tone: "Junior Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Qing faced the scrutiny of the four people opposite, his eyes turned into a glass color, and he could not see the bottom. He said loudly: "Senior Brother Bai, I have a little clue about the matter in my hands, and I am ready to do it alone."

Bai Lang listened, and his eyes were bright. Above his head, like a jade gate opened, fist-sized stars kept flying out and colliding with each other. The remaining color contained an inexplicable aura, which lasted for a long time. He stared at Zhou Qing, word by word, and said: "Junior Brother Zhou, have you thought about it?"

Zhou Qing did not hesitate, and made a prompt decision, saying: "Give it a try."

"Okay." Bai Lang did not persuade him. Once a person like Zhou Qing made a decision, he would definitely not change it. His eyes reflected the frost on the ground like snow. He just said: "If there is anything, contact us immediately."

"Understood."

Zhou Qing stood there, quietly waiting for the light on the mirror to dissipate. In the end, it turned into a ray of precious color and wrapped around the Dou Leiyuan seal on his waist.

He looked at the sky. It was clear just now, but now it was cloudy and gray, with a sense of oppression. The weather in this swamp really changes.

"Water monster."

Zhou Qing retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and thought about it.

The "mutated" water monsters in the swamp gathered together. Others might be afraid of them, but for him, it was easier to catch them all in one fell swoop.

And according to the information obtained, the "mutated" water monsters gradually merged with the old monster's blood. While becoming more and more powerful, they also became more and more courageous and their frequency of attack increased.

If you stand by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet? The more active the "mutated" water monster is, the easier it is to be discovered by himself!

Zhou Qing has a rough plan. He took a deep breath and operated the mysterious skill "Purple and Green High Saint Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Map". The power of Dansha in his body turned, and then he slowly fell to the bottom of the water.

During this process, a deep light permeated his body, and his aura gradually changed. The original aura of the cultivator dissipated, replaced by the fierceness and tyranny of the water monster.

If Zhou Xibai and others were here, they would probably be shocked and dare not believe their eyes when they saw Zhou Qing at this time.

Because in their perception, a "mutated" water ape that was originally surrounded by them actually "resurrected from the dead" and returned again!

This is the power of the real skill "Purple and Green High Saint Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Map" of the Biyou Palace. Zhou Qing killed that water ape and now turned into a water ape. When he operated, his own aura was the same as that of a real water ape.

It is said that the mountain gate of the former super Xuanmen Biyou Palace is located on the East China Sea. All the disciples who practiced the "Purple and Green High Saint Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Diagram" in the sect used the mystery of the "Purple and Green High Saint Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Diagram" to lurk in the major dragon palaces and water palaces in the sea and practice like real water creatures. They will leave only after their skills are perfect.

Zhou Qing, who practiced the "Purple and Green High Saint Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Diagram", felt that this statement must be true, because the mysterious skills can really deceive the world and practice with the power, making the water creatures defenseless.

All thoughts flashed by, and Zhou Qing, who turned into a water ape, was already walking on the bottom of the water. The heavy water hit him, as dull as thunder.

The demonic aura on his body was strong. Every step he took, the hair on his body trembled, like a piece of knife light, back and forth.

He deliberately made a bigger noise than usual, his eyes flashing with the black and green color unique to water apes, his consciousness was restrained inside, motionless, but the strange treasure, the Green Pond of Creation, was spinning around, constantly sensing the four directions.

On the one hand, he exuded his aura to see if he could "catch" some water monsters. On the other hand, once a water monster enters the sensing range of the strange treasure, the Green Pond of Creation, it will be locked.

In this way, Zhou Qing kept walking under the water, crossing dark rivers, entering caves, and entering chaotic caves, and saw many aquatic creatures, but let alone "mutated" water monsters, there were not many ordinary water monsters.

Zhou Qing was not surprised about this, because he knew the reason.

After taking over Nanchuan Lake, the aristocratic families kept sending people to encircle and suppress the "mutated" water monsters. In this process, the disciples of the aristocratic families did not let go of the ordinary water monsters they saw, either killing them directly, or capturing them alive and then tying them up as mounts, or taking them back to the cave to serve as gatekeepers.

Later, a group of people from Dou Lei Yuan came, and the two sides joined forces to advance like casting a net. The "mutated" water monsters also said that they had merged with the old monster's blood, and they were either hidden or concealed, and ordinary water monsters could not escape.

They had not been discovered, but Zhou Qing had a bottom in his heart, and he was not in a hurry, and kept moving forward along the bottom of the water.

One day, suddenly, the strange treasure Creation Green Pond in Zhou Qing's sea of ​​consciousness trembled, and ripples appeared out of thin air in the pool, and then expanded in circles. When it hit the edge of the pool, it bounced back and formed halos.

In the end, all the halo ripples merged together, and a wisp of demonic energy emerged from the center. Faintly, you can see a water monster, the whole person wrapped in a fine scale robe, covering the shoes on his feet, and the delicate face like a girl is shrouded in light.

It is a water monster, and it is a "mutated" water monster that has merged with the old monster's blood.

"Here we come."

Zhou Qing was shocked and adjusted his direction naturally, heading towards the water demon whose beauty was so handsome that it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

Not long after, Zhou Qing pretended to touch the other party's aura accidentally, confirming that they were both "lucky people" who had obtained the blood of the peerless old demon in the big lake.

Because both of them were pure demonic energy, they met and bumped heads smoothly.

Seeing that the other party didn't recognize him, Zhou Qing became more calm. He spoke in a low voice, stared at the other party, and said directly: "People from the Zhenyi Sect are looking for us outside. Why don't you hide and wander around under the water?"

Dan Zhu snorted coldly. The demonic energy on her body was three times stronger than the water ape that Zhou Qing transformed into. She said: "Don't you know it yourself?"

The "mutated" water demons hid at the beginning, mainly to digest and fuse the blood of the old demon who was comparable to the real person of the cave. But once they are almost fused, they will not be satisfied with hiding, but start to move around.

They come out to, on the one hand, look for natural treasures in the swamp to assist in their cultivation, and on the other hand, to sneak attack the cultivators in the swamp.

The sneak attack on the monks in the swamp was not only because of the hatred for the monks in the old demon's blood, but also because the pure essence of the monks was the greatest supplement for them, which could greatly enhance their strength and help them break through.

The "mutated" water monsters knew that the monks of Zhenyi Sect had begun to set up forbidden checkpoints and passes at the exit of the swamp. They needed to find an opportunity to escape from the gap before they were formed. Otherwise, when the forbidden checkpoints and passes were completely formed and the exit was sealed, they would be trapped in a jar and their end would not be good.

Zhou Qing was wearing the skin of a water ape, so he was not afraid of the other party's suspicion, so he hooked the other party to talk. As he listened, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Qing's water ape personality is straightforward, so he asked directly: "How do you know so much? Do you have a source of information?"

Dan Zhu took the initiative to find Zhou Qing after sensing the ape's breath on him. She had an idea, so she didn't hide it and answered directly: "We are acting together, sharing what we have, so we are naturally well-informed."

"Sure enough." Zhou Qing heard it and his heart moved. Recently, the children of Dou Leiyuan and the children of the noble families have been killed one after another. It seems like the joint action of the "mutated" water monsters. Now he may have found one of the "culprits".

"How about joining us?" Dan Zhu's eyes were shining as he looked at Zhou Qing and said, "The cultivators of Zhenyi Sect are not easy to deal with. If you are alone and are discovered by the other party and no one comes to help, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Only if we join forces can we kill the cultivators of Zhenyi Sect as quickly as possible, devour their essence, and increase our own strength."

"There is not much time left for us."

"Is that so."

Zhou Qing must be willing in his heart, but he deliberately showed hesitation on his face, looking difficult to make a decision.

"We have all merged the essence and blood of that person, so we should help each other." Dan Zhu's voice was persuasive, saying, "Otherwise, it would really waste this great opportunity."

The essence and blood of the old demon who was comparable to the real person of Dongtian was spilt, and some of the water demons in the swamp got it. The essence and blood of the old demon had a strange power. Once merged, it would have its own characteristics and be bound to itself. Once it died, it would be scattered in the swamp and disappear.

In this way, the water demons who got the essence and blood of the old demon were prevented from killing and devouring each other.
