Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

"Promotion."

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on the cloud couch in the center. The bronze tripod on the jade table in front of him was filled with circles of dark colors on the ears of the tripod on both sides, which fluttered between his eyebrows, and a chill.

He did not move, but in the quiet room, the dark river swept, the waves rolled, and countless ancient and simple seal characters rose up, constantly arranged and combined, explaining a deep meaning. The whole space was filled with the sound of water waves, which continued and could not see the end.

As time went by, the dark river became wider and deeper, the waves became more and more turbulent, and countless seal characters were born and died in it.

I don't know how long it took, only to hear a loud noise, and the dark river behind Zhou Qing disappeared, and inside him, a stream of water light washed down, from the inexplicable place in the body, drawing the power like stars, into the Taoist body, and into the immortal bone.

If you look closely, you will find that each star is radiant and blood-colored. The seemingly overwhelming star wheel floats up, supporting a heavy force, which is endless.

In fact, this is not a real star, nor is it a star in the sky, but the external appearance of the power of the seven souls in the body.

The soul-combining realm is to draw out the power of the seven souls in the body. On the one hand, it is integrated into the Tao body and forms a Qiankun trend with the immortal bones in the Tao body, which is obtained from the sky and transformed on the ground. On the other hand, the power of the seven souls, the power of Dansha and the consciousness are integrated, and the spirit, energy and spirit are integrated to prepare for the impact of the Nascent Soul realm.

"The Purple and Green High Saint Yuanhuang Transformation into a Dragon."

Zhou Qing noticed the changes in his Tao body once again integrating into the power of the seven souls, and new changes occurred spontaneously, and his eyes lit up.

Speaking of it, it is not easy to advance to the third realm of soul-combining and gather the real power of the seven souls, or even difficult, but Zhou Qing's attainments and opportunities in the "Purple and Green High Saint Yuanhuang Transformation into a Dragon" are beyond imagination.

In his clan land, he was faced with the true comprehension of the "Purple and Green High Saint Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Diagram" brought back to the clan by the Zhou ancestor. Such treatment was not given to the most core disciples of the former Biyou Palace.

Moreover, his life-originated magic weapon, the Sea-swallowing Heaven Gourd, had also improved, which fed back to the "Purple and Green High Saint Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Diagram", allowing this mysterious skill to make great strides forward.

Under such a huge advantage, even though Zhou Qing's focus in this period of retreat was on practicing the "Spiritual Life Gold Book" and "Miao Qing Canhe Gong", and he was comprehending the thunder method, one of the twenty-three methods obtained from the Tiantong Palace, the mysterious skill of the "Purple and Green High Saint Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Diagram" still made great progress and successfully broke through, and was promoted to the third level of Hepo.

"It's time to come."

Zhou Qing's thoughts turned, and he withdrew his power. The next moment, the aura of "Purple and Blue High Saint Yuanhuang Transformation into Dragon Picture" slowly dissipated, and the skylight outside shot in, a brilliant white, hitting the front of the jade couch, clear as the snow in the mountains, spotless.

In the quiet room, in front of him, although the aura of the promotion had just gone, there was still a deep shadow of the Youhe River, which stretched across his eyes and lasted for a long time.

Zhou Qing took a look, spread his sleeves, and pushed the door out.

If an ordinary cultivator, even if he successfully promoted, he would have to retreat for a while to get familiar with the skyrocketing realm and power, but his foundation was so deep that it was immeasurable. The moment of promotion, he had already digested it, and he didn't need anything else.

Not far outside, there was a horizontal pavilion, covered with sky-blue glazed tiles, and the skylight fell on the eaves like a flying crane spreading its wings, fine and fragmented, and from time to time it fell like snow in winter, with a clear sound.

Master Guande was wearing a robe and leaning on a jade table with a curved jade ruyi on it. His eyes were as gentle as jade.

Seeing such a look, even if there was arrogance in his heart that had just been promoted, it would be swept away. Zhou Qing took a deep breath, stepped forward to salute, and called "Master".

Master Guande glanced at Zhou Qing and noticed the changes in this closed disciple. His surprise flashed across his face. He didn't say much, but just said: "The flying palace built by Danding Academy is almost done. If you have time, go and take a look."

It is not a small project for Danding Academy to build a flying palace for four newly promoted ten disciples at once. Someone should keep an eye on it to prevent accidents.

Zhou Qing agreed, walked out of the cave, went outside, identified the direction, and then a rainbow light rose up, leaving this place and heading straight to Danding Academy.

Half a day later, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. From time to time, there was a burst of fire, and when it touched the qi, the remaining color formed a red wheel. From a distance, the whole surroundings were dyed red, like the morning glow. As soon as I approached, I felt a burning air that rushed to my eyebrows, making my body's qi become agitated.

There are not only earth fire furnaces in the Danding Courtyard, but also several earth fire furnaces opened by Dongtian Zhenren.

Whether it is an earth fire furnace or an earth fire furnace, they all control the great power of heaven and earth, and their tyranny is definitely not comparable to the power of cultivators. It is natural to have such a scorching vision.

Going forward, there is a flying palace in front of me, which is shaped like a huge tripod furnace, with a slightly retracted mouth and a folded edge. The round bottom supports three thick column feet, which are stable.

Under the column feet, there are relief animal faces and three convex string patterns below. The blazing flames are burning on it, as if the sun in the sky was picked up and placed on it, which is magnificent.

This is the entrance to the Dan Ding Courtyard. Zhou Qing saw it and walked straight forward, passed through the furnace mouth, and entered.

Opposite the entrance, there stood a fiery red stone pillar, with animal face patterns with curved horns hanging down to the ground on the pillar. The animal horns were broad and thick, with the tips hooked and curled up. A Taoist priest sat on it with his eyes half closed. The Dansha power on the top of the door was red, swallowing and spitting out flames with the stone pillar.

Sensing someone coming, the Taoist on the stone pillar opened his eyes and stared over. When he saw Zhou Qing, he was startled for a moment, then waved his sleeves, came down from the top, and said, "It turns out to be Island Master Zhou."

As he spoke, the coldness on his face immediately disappeared, and he tried his best to smile.

Dandingyuan's status in the Shinichi Sect is not low. When a deacon like him faces ordinary disciples, he does not say he is bossy, but he is always cold and cold. But now when seeing Zhou Qing, a top ten disciple who had just launched the sect, he had to restrain his arrogance and treat him with caution.

Zhou Qing nodded. He was not surprised that the other party recognized him, but it was a matter of course.

After all, he was already famous, and this time after the sect competition and the Feiying Hall ranking battle, he became the most popular person in the sect. I dare not say that everyone knows about it, but people who are interested must know it. And the deacons who are welcomed to a place like Dandingyuan must be caring people.

Zhou Qing didn't want to exchange more pleasantries with the other party, so he got straight to the point and said directly: "I came to the courtyard to take a look at the flying palace built for me."

"Fei Palace." When the deacon guarding the door heard this, he immediately reacted and said: "Island Master Zhou, please follow me."

Zhou Qing followed behind and walked in for who knows how long. Copper pillars appeared in front of him. Each pillar was engraved with different patterns. Wisps of sparks burst out on them, connecting together to form a cloud of fire. The same, covering the central hall.

Three or five strange flying birds, with tail wings three to five feet long, were standing on the crossbar, jumping around and spitting out mouthfuls of pure real fire.

Seeing a stranger coming, the birds jumped around and breathed fire even more vigorously.

"Don't make any noise."

A Nascent Soul cultivator with blazing eyebrows came out and pushed Feiniao away. He looked down with a startled expression.

"Elder Gong."

When the Alchemy Deacon who was leading the way saw the person coming, he quickly stepped forward and whispered to him the reason for Zhou Qing's visit to the Alchemy Cauldron.

This Elder Gong has a high status in the Alchemy Academy and is fully responsible for the creation of the Flying Palace, the vehicle of the ten disciples.

"Oh, that's it." After hearing this, Elder Gong said hello to Zhou Qing, and then said: "Island Master Zhou, your Xuanling True Yang Fei Palace is still being arranged and has not been delivered yet. for you.”

"It's being arranged." Zhou Qing's eyebrows were raised, and his brows were full of determination. "It's been a few months, and the arrangement hasn't been completed yet?"

His voice is not loud, but it has a kind of majesty.

The standard version of the vehicle of the ten disciples of the True First Sect is the True Yang Flying Palace. It can fly in the sky, occupy mountains and rivers, and temporarily serve as a cave.

Although no one said it clearly, everyone in the know knew that according to the tradition of Dandingyuan, they had already built several Zhenyang Flying Palaces in advance and placed them in the courtyard for use.

If the newly promoted top ten disciples do not need to upgrade the True Yang Fei Palace, they can take it directly.

Even if his flying palace needs to be upgraded, even his master Guande Zhenren personally came to help build it. After a period of time, it should be completed.

"This," facing Zhou Qing's aggressive gaze, Gong Zhenren of the Alchemy Academy flashed his eyes and said, "Island Master Zhou, your Xuanling True Yang Fei Palace has basically taken shape, and now it needs to be warmed and nourished. There are restrictions from the palace, but the array masters in the courtyard are very busy, resulting in a shortage of manpower, so the progress is slow. "

Zhou Qing listened quietly with deep eyes.

There are not too many formation masters at the level of the Alchemy Cauldron who can nurture and arrange the True Yang Fei Palace, but it is absolutely impossible to have just two or three kittens and puppies.

The other party may have some hidden agenda when doing this.

"However," Zhou Qingcai didn't care what the secret was. He stared at the other person, with a bright white color in his eyes, like frost and snow in winter, with an awe-inspiring chill, and said, "I'm going out in a few days. , Fei Gong will definitely be used. Master Gong, please think of a way, I believe you will find a way."

The other party's voice was calm, but someone like Elder Gong could already hear the deep meaning in the other party's words. If he really delayed the other party's affairs, he would probably offend the other party in a down-to-earth manner.

Although Elder Gong had some small calculations in his mind, he had no intention of offending an extraordinary figure who was rising rapidly and ranked second among the top ten disciples. After all, the opponent's performance is really incredible, and there is hope for the future.

After turning his thoughts around, Elder Gong immediately made a decision. There was a deliberate look on his face. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "Since Island Master Zhou has something to use, we really can't delay it. Let's do this. I will send a few more people to try to deliver the Mysterious Spirit True Yang Flying Palace to you as soon as possible."

"Thank you so much Master Gong."

A smile appeared on Zhou Qing's face, but there were thoughts in his heart. No wonder his master, Guande Zhenren, asked him to come to the Alchemy Palace. This was not only to see what Fei Palace was like and whether it suited his liking, but also what was inside. There may be something wrong.

Gong Zhenren summoned the Taoist boy and asked him to go and transfer people with his own warrant. After the arrangements were made, he said to Zhou Qing: "Let's go. The Flying Palace, the car of Lord Zhou, is in the Earth Fire Heavenly Furnace in the northwest of the courtyard." inside."

"Earth Fire Heaven Furnace."

When Zhou Qing heard this, he became interested. In his early years, when he was refining his natal magic weapon, the Sea-Swallowing Sky-Swallowing Gourd, he had used the earth-fire oven of the Zhou clan in Luochuan. He has never seen the Earth Fire Heaven Furnace.

The Earth Fire Heaven Furnace has extremely high requirements for earth fire. Not only does it require extremely pure earth fire, but it also needs to be continuous and in astonishing quantities. Then it will take a hundred years for a cave master who knows this to open it up before it can gradually take shape.

Each Earth Fire Heaven Furnace brings the power of earth fire to its extreme, and is most suitable for refining huge treasures like Feigong.

There was no conversation on the way, and they arrived at the northwest of Dandingyuan smoothly.

"This is the Earth Fire Heaven Furnace."

Zhou Qing stopped and looked up, his eyes slightly widened. What appeared in front of him was a large pit with no end in sight. Large patches of red floated up inside, gathered together, and formed a strange fire cloud, covering the surroundings. It seemed that this piece of heaven and earth was only fire and black smoke, nothing else.

Compared with the earth fire baking furnace he had used in his clan, this Earth Fire Heaven Furnace was more than several times larger, and it was simply not on the same level. In the sky furnace, due to the extremely high temperature, the blazing flames even formed rolling red water, which made a clattering sound.

Seeing Zhou Qing watching intently, Master Gong stood aside and said, "Island Master Zhou, this Earth Fire Heaven Furnace is not simple. It was built by the third generation of our sect's headmaster when he was in the cave heaven realm. He used a supreme magic weapon to open up the earth lungs and attract the earth fire. It took hundreds of years to arrange it and finally formed it."

"The work of three generations."

Zhou Qing looked again and again, with a look of surprise on his face. Every generation of the Zhenyi Sect's headmaster was amazing and pointed directly to immortality. Such people, their time is very precious, and they can use hundreds of years to open up the Earth Fire Heaven Furnace for the sect, which is admirable.

"Let's go in." Master Gong opened the restriction of the Heavenly Furnace with his hand, and an astonishing heat wave immediately surged out. He used his magic power and the protective light to block the burning, and said to Zhou Qing: "The temperature in the Heavenly Furnace is extremely high, Island Master Zhou, be careful."

"Understood."

Zhou Qing's spiritual sense sensed the power of the Heavenly Furnace through the gap of the restriction, and the blazing fire seemed to be real, and his eyes moved.

The underground fire here is indeed terrifying, but it is restrained by the restriction array in the Heavenly Furnace. Otherwise, the entire area where the Danding Courtyard is located would have become a sea of ​​fire long ago.
