Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

After most people left, the originally empty hall became even more gloomy, with no end in sight.

Only the water light from outside came in through the jade windows on both sides, deep and cold, mottled on the rows of wooden pillars, and the afterglow shone back and forth, creating a solemn silence.

All around, clouds and mist rose from under the jade platform from time to time, making the Dragon King sitting on the jade platform looming. The crown on his body and a pair of emotionless golden eyes made people dare not look at him too much.

Zhou Qing was below, in the halo, his hands in his sleeves slightly clenched, and he said nothing.

After a while, the Dragon King sat up straight, and the whole hall seemed to shake and make a muffled sound. He stretched out his hand lightly, as if holding a jade seal, and issued an order to all directions, saying: "The thirty-six little princesses of Zhili Shanglong Palace are publicly recruiting husbands. Our Water Palace must nominate one person and strive to marry this little princess."

Zhili Shanglong Palace is the most powerful force in this area of ​​water. The Dragon King of Dragon Palace not only has the supreme power comparable to Xuanmen Dongtian Zhenren, but is also the direct descendant of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, which is far beyond the reach of other water palaces.

Every time Zhili Shanglong Palace marries a daughter, it recruits talents, with loud gongs and drums, firecrackers, and a huge momentum.

This is a clear card for other small forces, giving them a chance to climb up to Zhili Shanglong Palace. As for the thirty-six little princesses who are as beautiful as flowers and have strange fragrances, the monsters don't care. The Dragon King of Zhili Shanglong Palace spreads seeds all over the world, and these so-called little princesses emerge in endlessly, just hanging the name of Zhili Shanglong Palace.

Before anyone else could speak, Prime Minister Turtle's small green bean-like eyes rolled around, giving people a sense of resourcefulness. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, General Qingjian has always been calm and tenacious, and has great strength. I think he can definitely marry the thirty-sixth little princess if he represents the Water Palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the other great monsters in the hall were all focused on Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing did not speak, but raised his head and looked at the Dragon King who was sitting high on the jade platform. He had a vague feeling that the Prime Minister Turtle who had just jumped out might have come up with this idea.

As expected, the Dragon King pondered for a moment, waved his hand, made a decision, and said: "The Prime Minister is right, let's do it."

At this point, Zhou Qing had to respond. He stood up and saluted, saying loudly: "I will not let you down!"

Seeing Zhou Qing like this, the Dragon King stood up and laughed at the sky: "Yes, with you, there is no need to worry about not accomplishing great things?"

Hearing such words, Zhou Qing was not happy, but sweat oozing from his back. He saluted again, and then saw the Dragon King above shining brightly and disappearing from the jade platform.

The other big monsters thought that Zhou Qing had taken away their own opportunities. Seeing this, some snorted coldly and left directly, while others came forward and said a few sarcastic words. Zhou Qing listened expressionlessly, said goodbye to the Prime Minister Turtle who was left in the hall, and returned to his residence.

At this moment, the hall became quiet.

Only in the bronze tripod furnace on the table on the jade platform, the smoke was curling up, becoming more and more, and heavier, like a green cloud, falling around, condensing but not dispersing.

After a while, there was a thunder sound, and the departed Dragon King reappeared on the jade platform. He looked towards the door, and the light was reflected in his golden pupils, as if he wanted to see the shadow of Zhou Qing who had left.

Prime Minister Turtle stood below, his round little eyes turning around.

"Prime Minister, could Qingjian be a disciple of the Biyou Palace?"

Dragon King suddenly spoke, his voice was icy and cold. As soon as he spoke, water light appeared around, exuding a chill, making people feel like falling into an ice cellar, without life.

"How dare I conclude." Prime Minister Turtle waved his hand hurriedly, then hesitated for a moment, and said again: "But General Qingjian is brave and diligent, and his momentum is strong, which makes people feel a sense of mystery."

"Mystery."

The cold light in Dragon King's eyes was shining brightly. The true disciples of the Biyou Palace have repeatedly sneaked into the Dragon Palaces of various places, doing things that conceal the sky and the sea, making the major Dragon Palaces miserable. The Dragon Palace was not always passive. There were smart people who collected what the disciples of the Biyou Palace did, analyzed and summarized them, and extracted the hidden characteristics of the disciples of the Biyou Palace.

Mystery is one of the most important ones.

Prime Minister Turtle said, "Let General Qingjian go to the son-in-law selection meeting, and everything will be clear."

After all, General Qingjian is one of the few powerful people in the Water Court, and he has fought for the Water Palace in the east and west, and he has made great contributions. If General Qingjian is not suspected, the other party can go to the Zhili Upper Dragon Palace and meet that Dragon King. If he is lucky, he can get the beauty and everything will be harmonious. But if General Qingjian is really suspected, then when he goes to the Zhili Upper Dragon Palace, he will show his true self in front of the Dragon King who is comparable to the real person of Dongtian, and end up dead.

This move is the best of both worlds and will not affect the stability of the Water Palace.

The Dragon Lord did not speak, but his eyes were deep, which meant that Qingjian did have an extraordinary status in the Water Palace. Otherwise, he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go just based on a suspicion!

Zhou Qing returned to his residence, stood in front of the window, and looked at the corals in the courtyard. Clusters of star colors were lingering on them, and the afterglow kept falling down, landing on the ground, and touching the water color, he was full of energy. His expression did not move, but his heart was not calm at all.

Seven out of ten times, the Dragon Lord of the Water Palace has doubted his identity, and going to the fragmented Upper Dragon Palace is probably a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, and he will never be able to return.

For now, the only way is to find an opportunity to leave as soon as possible and return to the mountain gate of the Green Tour Palace.

As long as the green mountains are there, there will be no worries about firewood!

"But,"

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing's eyes became darker. Since the Dragon King suspected him, he would definitely keep a close eye on him. It would not be easy for him to escape.

More importantly, his current state was strange. His own Dao body was hidden inside, and everything of the original disciple of the Biyou Palace was outside. There was a gap between the two, which was very awkward.

In order to exert all the power, at least, the inside and the outside had to be integrated together.

"Fusion."

With the decision, Zhou Qing secretly operated the "Purple Blue High Saint Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Diagram". This turn immediately brought about changes. The original mysterious skills and magical powers of the Biyou Palace true disciple began to turn into streams of water and entered the Sanluo Dao body.

Gradually, countless information gathered and continued to improve.

In this process, Zhou Qing's eyes became brighter and brighter.

He did practice the "Purple Blue High Saint Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Diagram" and practiced it to a very deep level, but the Biyou Palace true disciple practiced this skill in the East China Sea and had different insights and perceptions of this skill. This time he absorbed it into his body, allowing his attainments in "The Purple and Blue High Saint Yuanhuang Transformation into a Dragon Diagram" to improve at a speed visible to the naked eye.
