Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

When Feigong arrived here, he no longer went deeper, but turned northeast. After traveling 500 miles, a piece of land appeared in front of him.

Looking from afar, on the land, several sacred mountains hundreds of feet high rose from the ground and pierced the blue sky. Inside, there were green cliffs and golden valleys, Taoist temples and ancient pavilions. Outside, there were clouds and rainbows across the sky. From time to time, cranes of different species spread their wings and flew by, their wings like wheels. Faintly, a clear crane cry came, stirring all around.

"Yuandu." Zhou Chen glanced at Zhou Qing who was staring at Luzhou below, and said: "Most of our outer and inner disciples of Zhenyi Sect are on this Luzhou, and there are even true teachings of the sect. When you first arrive at the mountain gate, go to Changqing Pavilion on Luzhou and get a cave for inner disciples to stay."

"I will contact you after you settle down."

"Yes, Zhenren."

Zhou Qing agreed, and then the next moment, his body shook, and a golden light wrapped around him, disappearing in the Feiling Palace where the clouds and the sun are shining. When he opened his eyes again, he was already on Luzhou.

Zhou Qing watched the Fei Palace disappear into the sky, leaving a large area of ​​bright light, and his eyes were thoughtful.

Since he came to Zhenyi Sect, he would inevitably have to deal with Luochuan Zhou's family. This is a matter of time.

In the previous life, he had no intersection with Zhenyi Sect and Luochuan Zhou's family, and there was little content about this in his memory. But before coming here, his uncle Zhou Ming did say something.

Judging from Zhou Chen's attitude on the road, he will definitely come to find him soon.

Zhou Qing stood still and thought for a while, then spread his sleeves and walked forward along the road. When he turned a corner, he saw a young boy, who should be only thirteen or fourteen years old, with lively eyebrows and eyes, and a strange beast like a little leopard was following him, jumping and running around.

Seeing this, he stepped forward and said hello, "Little brother, stay."

The young boy stopped and looked at Zhou Qing. His eyes were clear, like the water in the pond in autumn, with a kind of spirituality.

"Little brother." Zhou Qing came up to him, with a smile on his handsome face, and said in a gentle voice: "I just arrived in Luzhou and am not familiar with it. I want to ask, how to get to Changqing Pavilion?"

"Senior brother, are you going to Changqing Pavilion?" The young boy's eyes lit up and said, "I just happened to go to Changqing Pavilion too, let's go together."

"Together."

Zhou Qing stepped forward and walked side by side with him.

On the way there, Zhou Qing learned from the conversation that the young boy was called Li Mingxiao, who had just joined Zhenyi Sect and reported to Changqing Pavilion today. Although the other party did not say it, it can be seen that the other party should be from an aristocratic family and has a peculiar temperament.

Changqing Pavilion is halfway up the mountain of Julu Mountain. First, you pass a tall white jade archway, and then there are bluestone steps going up. Walking on it, there are dense ancient trees on both sides, and unknown birds are perched on the branches, pecking at their feathers and calling from time to time.

When you reach the end, the hall jumps out. On the plaque, the three words "Changqing Pavilion" are heavy and graceful, giving people a sense of immortality.

Two deacon Taoist children stood at the door of the hall, tiptoeing, looking around, and seemed to be waiting for someone.

At this time, seeing Zhou Qing and Li Mingxiao coming over, one of them turned inside to report the news, and the other deacon Taoist child greeted them with a smile.

"Young Master." The Taoist steward didn't even look at Zhou Qing, but approached Li Mingxiao who was following the strange beast, smiling and looking friendly, and said: "Knowing that the young master would come today, we have been waiting here since early morning, and Steward Ma is also waiting in the hall."

Li Mingxiao opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "I sneaked out alone without alerting others. How did you know?"

The Taoist steward smiled and said nothing, leading the way in front.

The young boy in front of him did not let his family follow him, maybe he wanted to be an ordinary disciple. But this is just a child's idea. With his identity, he came to Changqing Pavilion, and someone had already greeted him.

Not long after, he saw Steward Ma of Changqing Pavilion. He was a middle-aged man with slightly frosted temples, wearing a robe, holding a jade ruyi, and the true energy on his head was dim, looking like a twilight.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing, who was half a step behind Li Mingxiao, moved his eyes.

The deacon in Changqing Pavilion has many daily affairs because he needs to arrange the outer and inner disciples' cultivation caves and various matters. Many cultivators are afraid of delaying their cultivation, so they are not interested in this. The steward who can come here no longer hopes to make progress in the path of cultivation.

Now it seems to be true.

The deacon Ma in front of him also seems to have the cultivation level of Qi Refining, with a surging true Qi, but the whole person is depressed, not striving to make progress, just muddling by.

However, at this time, Deacon Ma was in high spirits, looking like he was ten years younger. He smiled and talked to Li Mingxiao, saying, "Young Master, everything is ready for you."

Li Mingxiao was a little depressed because the "White Dragon Fish Suit" was not successful, but he was not a person who was good at refusing. Facing Deacon Ma's enthusiasm, he still said, "Thank you, Deacon Ma."

"Look, this is your name."

Deacon Ma first took out the jade book, turned to the page of outer disciples, wrote Li Mingxiao's name on it, and circulated his true energy. With a slight shake, Li Mingxiao's light and shadow also remained on it. Later, with just a few strokes, Li Mingxiao's simple information was written.

After finishing, the jade book suddenly had a ray of light like water ripples, and then returned to normal. The text on this page seemed to have an unspeakable rule.

"Make a book and register."

Zhou Qing watched from behind and nodded secretly. At this step, he was truly admitted to the Zhenyi Sect and became a disciple of the Zhenyi Sect.

Deacon Ma let Li Mingxiao take a look at the jade book before happily putting it away. He winked and a Taoist boy who had been waiting on the side came over, holding a wooden plate with a talisman on it. It was neither gold nor wood, and was engraved with cloud patterns.

"Young Master, to join our Zhenyi Sect, in addition to making a registration, the most important thing is to choose a cave." Deacon Ma pointed to the talisman in the wooden tray in the Taoist boy's hand and said, "This is Ji Guang Xuan Lu on Xuanling Island. You can live there temporarily."

The clever Taoist boy added, "Young Master, I know Ji Guang Xuan Lu on Xuanling Island. It is a first-class Xuan Lu. It is just because of its small area that it is not rated as a Qi Mansion in the sect. In fact, this Xuan Lu is similar to an ordinary lower-level Qi Mansion."

"Many disciples in the sect want it, but Deacon Ma has been holding it back and waiting to give it to you, young master."

"Hehe," Deacon Ma glanced at the Taoist boy who was talking, and smiled with his eyes narrowed, but he still waved his hand and said, "Nothing, it should be done."

When Zhou Qing heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Mingxiao again. It seems that this little brother's background is deeper than he thought.

The caves used by the cultivators are a general term for the places of cultivation, which are specifically divided into six levels: "Dongtian, Fudi, Zhengong, Qifu, Xuanlu, Jingshe", and they are divided into upper, middle and lower levels depending on the amount of Qi and spiritual energy.

In Zhenyi Sect, outer disciples can receive Xuanlu Jingshe in name, but in reality, Jingshe is still the main one.

Li Mingxiao is now a newly enrolled outer disciple, but he started with the top-level upper Xuanlu Jiguang Xuanlu, which is the ultimate cave that outer disciples can receive.

From this, it can be seen that the family behind Li Mingxiao should have a considerable influence in Zhenyi Sect, at least, it should have an amazing influence on Changqing Pavilion.

Zhou Qing turned his mind, but unfortunately, he didn't know much about Zhenyi Sect and the major forces in Zhenyi Sect, otherwise he could infer more.

Li Mingxiao was indeed immature. At this time, he was touched by the enthusiasm of the deacon and the Taoist boy of Changqing Pavilion, his face flushed, and he could only say thank you repeatedly.

"Okay." Deacon Ma saw that the time was almost right, and he thought that too much was as bad as too little, so he said, "Young Master, I will ask the boy to take you to Ji Guang Xuan Lu later. The other items prepared for the outer disciples will be sent to you tomorrow."

"Okay."

Li Mingxiao put away the talisman of Ji Guang Xuan Lu and put it into his sleeve. Just as he was about to follow the Taoist boy, he suddenly remembered something and stopped immediately. He pointed behind him and said, "This Brother Zhou is also here at Changqing Pavilion to handle the procedures for joining the sect."

Zhou Qing stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Zhou Qing, meet Deacon Ma."

"Zhou Qing, you also want to join the sect?" Deacon Ma's smile disappeared in front of Zhou Qing, and he spoke slowly, looking businesslike, and said, "Register your information first. After we at Changqing Pavilion have reviewed it, we will register you."

This is the normal procedure. What Li Mingxiao did just now is a special case.

Of course, the review takes time. As for three days, five days or half a month, it depends on the person in charge of Changqing Pavilion.

If someone gives a heads-up, or if you are smart and do some work, the review will be faster. If you don't care, it is most likely that it will be stuck until the deadline for the review before it is passed.

Don't underestimate the review time. Sometimes, one step late will delay every step.

If you delay the entry review, if you are unlucky, the cave may be gone by the time you choose the cave, and you have to wait again. Or if you are a few days late, the good cave will be picked up by someone else, and you can only choose the remaining poor cave.

Although Zhou Qing came to Zhenyi Sect for the first time, there is nothing new under the sun. He was an official in the court in his previous life and was familiar with such things, so he didn't say much, and took out his Zhenyi Order from his sleeve directly, saying: "You don't need to review it, take a look at this."

"What is this?"

Deacon Ma looked at the talisman in Zhou Qing's hand. It was glowing, and the traces of Zhenyi Sect were hidden in it. There was a sense of depth, and he was stunned.

He really didn't know it, but instinctively felt that this talisman was different.

At this moment, a voice sounded from outside, saying, "Inner sect disciple, is this true?"
