Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

It was dawn.

The clear white light came from outside the mountain, sparkling and shining, dispelling the rain color of yesterday on the pine trees in front of the pavilion, making the forest green on the steps more vivid.

Two or three birds flew over, flapping their wings, jumping around, looking left and right with their big black eyes, turning non-stop, full of spirituality.

Zhou Qing pushed the door open and came out. He wore a pearl crown on his head, the robes of the inner disciples of the Zhenyi Sect, and a jade pendant on his waist. Above the top of the door, there was a deep water light, and the bottom was invisible.

He took a look at the treasure carriage parked at the door, and the eight pairs of golden boys and jade girls. He walked straight over, spread his sleeves and sat down, and ordered: "Let's go."

"Yes."

The next moment, there was a crisp bell ringing, and wisps of clouds emerged, gathering from the pine forest, from behind the rocks, and from the deep ravine. At the beginning, it was intermittent, and after a moment, it gathered more and more, and finally formed a brilliant cloud, which lifted the treasure car, rose into the sky, and flew away.

There was a constant "boom" sound, and the cloud car broke through the air. Wherever it went, the morning glow in the sky seemed to be crushed under the wheels of the cloud car, and the momentum was huge.

Such momentum soon alarmed the interested people on Luzhou. They came out one after another, watching the cloud car breaking through the sky, the rainbow light for hundreds of miles, and the rising clouds. They couldn't help squinting their eyes, looking at it, and whispering.

"Is it Zhou Qing who went over?"

"Yes, it looks like he came out of Denglong Qifu."

"The result of this session of the true transmission competition is about to come out."

Many people had envy on their faces, and they wished they could replace him.

There are many geniuses in the Zhenyi Sect, and the competition for each true disciple is very fierce, almost bloody. But once they are successfully promoted and become the true disciples of the sect, they will immediately turn from carp to dragon, and their status will soar sharply.

The true disciples of the Shangxuan Sect like Zhenyi Sect have a bright future.

Zhou Qing sat on the cloud car, opened his eyes, and saw the sparks scattered in all directions below, burning in clusters, crackling, with a blazing meaning, rushing straight to the eyebrows, and making people's pupils seem to be reflected in the flames.

Zhou Qing smiled. Today, everyone is paying attention, especially the outer and inner disciples in the mountain gate are thinking about it, staring at it, and paying attention to it. The gathering of people's hearts has led to such a strange phenomenon.

Continue to move forward. At this moment, only the sound of zither and harp sounded in the air, and then the sun came out, rolling up the flowing clouds in the air, curling like rouge, and then a rainbow appeared, and a beautiful woman stepped on the rainbow bridge and walked slowly.

She wore a bright purple skirt, and the cloud hair on her head was tied up with a hairpin. When she walked, the jade pattern on the hairpin moved, and there was a wonderful sound, which was very ethereal and free. Like the sound of oars in the evening light, like the gentle rain hitting the banana leaves on the windowsill in the middle of the night in summer, like a good dream of a girl sleeping on the couch.

The voice sounded empty, but when you listen again, it is full of charm, making people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

Zhou Qing recognized the person at a glance, and he greeted her, saying: "Senior Sister Yin, you are going to the Jade Candle Hall too?"

It sounds like a question, but it is actually affirmation.

Because although it was the first time they met, Zhou Qing was not unfamiliar with the other party. This woman ranked sixth in the list of the last competition for the true inheritance, and the gap with the previous one was very small. She had the hope of becoming the true inheritance of this session.

Such a person must go to the Jade Candle Hall on such a critical day today to see if he can succeed.

"It turns out to be Junior Brother Zhou."

Yin Zhaole's jade face is beautiful, with ribbons wrapped around her jade arms and bells hanging on them. She looks like a full moon, turning back and forth. When she saw Zhou Qing, her beautiful eyes shrank slightly, with a hint of sharpness.

As for whether she can become the true disciple of this session, including Yin Zhaole herself, no one is sure, after all, the competition is too fierce.

But she also knows that Zhou Qing, whom she met now, has a great chance of becoming the true disciple of the sect in this session. After all, in the last ranking of the true disciple competition in the sect, the other party won the first place with a slight advantage. Recently, he has obtained two great merits, which made up for his shortcomings in merits and virtues, and he is even more powerful.

My future is uncertain, and the other party is sure to win, so I really don't want to go together.

"Let's go together."

Zhou Qing invited with a gentle smile on his face.

This Yin Zhaole is not a simple person. Even if he fails to become the true disciple of this session, he has a good chance of becoming the next session.

After becoming a true disciple, one's status in the sect rises, and one will encounter more things and need more connections.

Yin Zhaole saw Zhou Qing's sincere tone, and thought that if he didn't want to, it would seem like he was afraid, so he slowly exhaled and said, "Let's go."

Half an hour later, the two arrived in front of the Jade Candle Hall together.

It was morning light, and everything was silent. Only the melodious bell sound came from behind, one after another, and the sound contained fragrance, faint, hitting people's eyebrows.

A moment later, a silver-white light appeared outside the east, gradually becoming brighter and brighter, and then a faint orange-red spread over, and a red sun jumped out.

"Like the rising sun."

Zhou Qing looked at the changes in the light under his feet and smiled gently. This was a good sign. And Yin Zhaole also raised his eyebrows, feeling a little relaxed.

At the entrance of the hall, a boy had been waiting. When he saw the two people coming, he quickly led them into the hall and said, "It's about to start."

When Zhou Qing arrived at the Jade Candle Hall, he looked up and saw three white jade platforms rising in the center of the hall. There were thousands of golden treasures on them, which were constantly colliding, but there was no sound at all. Only a huge light remained, rising continuously.

Looking more carefully, there is a real person on each of the three high platforms. The one in the middle is Jing Zhenren, with a majestic face, and a strong cloud rushing out of his top door. Going up, he holds up a precious bead, reflecting the fairyland, the fairy pavilions, the exquisite buildings, the misty fairy clouds, the misty clouds, and the ever-changing clouds.

Even standing at the door of the hall, you can still feel the overwhelming majesty, as if you are facing a storm, making you breathless.

"Three real people."

Three real people came down and sat in charge, which shows that the sect values ​​the true disciples.

Zhou Qing turned his mind and saluted on the high platform first, then strode to the hall. When he turned his eyes, he saw that someone had already arrived in the hall.

Counting, there are five people in total.

Five people, standing in two rows.

One of the left ones, the true energy on the top door is like frost, and the white light is reflected in all directions, silver and white jump, clusters, it is Li Bixiao. On his side, Xiao Xin was wearing a white skirt, with black hair hanging down to her waist, tied up with a copper ring, and the light was swaying in fragments, with a dreamy ripple.

As for the right side, one was Lin Li, and the true qi on the top of his head had a faint light like a bronze axe, motionless. One was Hou Zhang, who wore a silver crown on his head and a robe, looking gentle as jade, but there was an unshakable firmness in the depths of his eyes. The last one was a girl, with picturesque features and a petite figure. On her skirt, there was a strange light, like the color of pine hit by rain, deep and deep, and the surrounding light would be stained with a layer of green as soon as it approached.

"Li Bixiao, Xiao Xin, Lin Li, Hou Zhang, Zhuang Yin."

Zhou Qing's eyes swept over them one by one, and then thought of Yin Zhaole behind him. With himself, there were a total of seven people in the hall.

"Seven people."

Zhou Qing kept looking at them, and the seven of them should be the most likely to be promoted to the true disciples of this session. As for the people behind, they are destined to run with him and it is unlikely that they will come.

Zhou Qing was silently looking at others. At the same time, everyone in the hall was also looking at him with complicated expressions.

Among the seven people in the hall, Zhou Qing was the last to join the sect, the lowest realm, and the last to announce the competition for the true teachings. However, he made rapid progress in the competition, did things that others could not do, counterattacked all the way, and took the lead.

When they met such a person, they were envious, dissatisfied, and a little powerless. They were indeed in a complicated mood.

After a while, a few more people came outside, but they all had gloomy faces and tried to stand back as much as possible. It seemed that they were just here to see the result.

After an unknown period of time, when a bell sounded, rays of light shot down from the Jade Candle Hall, flying colors and smoke, gas clouds and sounds, circling around, running back and forth, colliding with each other, and making all kinds of wonderful sounds.

Everyone present had a feeling that a precious light was dripping down in front of them, and the dazzling light was hanging on their bodies, layer by layer.

"Everyone is here."

Zhenren Jing sat on the high platform and spoke for the first time. He swept his eyes across the whole audience and nodded slightly.

There didn't seem to be many people in the hall, only a dozen or so, but they were all geniuses among geniuses of this year, elites among elites, and each one was very outstanding.

That is to say, in a high-level sect like Zhenyi Sect, cruel competition is required. If it were placed in a middle-level sect, everyone would at least be a true disciple.

Zhenren Jing saw that the time was almost right, and pointed to the top of the door with his hand. Above the Gangyun, a magic weapon like an abacus emerged. It turned gently and brushed over the top of Zhou Qing and others below. The next moment, a column of light emerged above everyone's head.

"It's started."

Zhou Qing only heard the sound of "dong dong dong". Every time it sounded, a jade slip would fly from the outside, and then open above his head. Then, words burst out from it, and each word shone and merged into the column of light on his top. After swallowing the words, the light column began to grow.

For a moment, Zhou Qing only felt that the sky was originally bright and clear, but now it was all received by the light column above, tied into a line, and the colorful colors came and went, constantly changing.

Zhou Qing opened his eyes and could not see the height of the light column on his head, but every time a jade slip flew over, there was a sound of thunder.

On the high platform, Jing Zhenren and other three Zhenren watched all this intently. In their eyes, jade slips kept flying from outside and fell on the top of every young man in the hall. After opening, words burst out, clear air soared into the air, containing power, filling the light column.

This is of course not real power, but someone in the sect is scoring the young disciples in the hall who are interested in the true teachings.

Scoring one by one, seriously and strictly.

If the score is high, the power is sufficient, and the light column grows higher than others. If the score is low, the power is weak, and the light column grows slower than others.

"Hmm?"

Zhenren Jing's eyes flashed, and he saw a series of jade slips flying over, opening in the air, and the words inside fell down, spreading golden color, telling the way of merit.

"Merit."

Zhenren Jing immediately saw that after the jade slips fell, the light column above the head of each young man in the hall rose a bit. However, compared with most people, the increase in the golden light column above one person's head was extremely shocking, obviously much higher than the others.

Zhenren Jing turned his eyes and found that the one with the largest increase in the merit light column was indeed Zhou Qing.

At this stage, the two great merits really made Zhou Qing stand out from the crowd, and no one could compare with him.

"What is it?"

Zhenren Jing was curious about how Zhou Qing obtained the merit, but the Merit Academy had its own rules, and under the blockade, even he could not peek.

"It's over."

On the left side of Master Jing, there is also a master, but she is a female fairy, wearing a green dress and no accessories. Her bright eyes stare at the light column in the field, and the colorful colors in it rise and fall.

According to the rules of selecting true disciples, the scoring of merit is the last item to be scored. Since this one has come, all the scoring is over.

"The result is coming."

The female fairy took a deep breath. Countless treasures fell like raindrops around her. She stood still and looked at the field.

I saw young people standing quietly in the hall, motionless. Above their heads, light columns rose, each with different heights, but most of them were not much different. Even some of the light columns, at first glance, were almost the same height, with little difference.

"Unfortunately, the difference is the difference."

The female fairy shook her head secretly and sighed in her heart. They looked the same height, but there was really a little difference. But in the selection of true disciples, this little difference is a world of difference.

After all, only three people were selected for this true disciple.

After the scoring was completed, the six senses of the young people in the hall gradually returned. They were able to sense the light column on their heads and see the light columns on the heads of other people in the hall.

Yin Zhaole, who came with Zhou Qing, glanced at her beautiful eyes, and her jade face seemed to have lost its light and became much dimmer.

Because she happened to see that the light columns on the heads of Li Bixiao and Xiao Xin, who were closest to her, were higher than hers.

Since she arrived at Qingyutai and made a splash to impact this session of the true transmission, she has been cultivating "internal skills", accumulating "external skills", and working hard to make progress, never relaxing for a moment, but in the end, it was still not as she wished, and she was a little worse than others.

This session of the true transmission, I have no chance.

"I,"

Lin Li looked left and right, feeling nervous. What he saw now was that the light column on Zhou Qing's head was obviously higher than his, and Li Bixiao, Xiao Xin and Hou Zhang's were about the same as his.

For a moment, he couldn't tell who was higher and who was lower.

At this time, Master Jing had stood up from the cloud couch. He looked down at the hall from a high place. With a wave of his hand, a great force was released, like a startling rainbow, sweeping the three young men with the highest beams of light on their heads to the front. Then he announced loudly, "Zhou Qing, Li Bixiao, Xiao Xin, the three of you can be this year's true disciples!"
