Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

After Fei Gong left the clan of the Zhou family in Hengnan, he went straight south, controlling the air, riding the wind and breaking through the clouds. Wherever he went, he rubbed against the atmosphere, forming circles of five-color halos, bright and powerful. vast.

Looking from a distance, the escaping light crosses the sky, condenses but never disperses, like a startling rainbow or a swimming dragon, hanging down and making a rustling sound.

Even from a distance, you can hear the roar of thunder, which is shocking to the soul.

The monks I met on the road, knowing how powerful they were, all consciously stepped aside to let the Jade Spirit Treasure True Boat go first.

Zhou Qing was sitting in the quiet room of Fei Palace. A jade branch came across, and the exquisite treasure leaves were trembling in the wind. Every time, tiny golden arcs fell, constantly colliding, bouncing, and jumping.

His eyes were quiet and he was thinking.

Before leaving Zhenyi Zongshan Gate, he had made a general plan for his itinerary. When he was in the Hengnan Zhou clan, he contacted the other party and they would meet at the agreed place.

I don’t know how long it took, but a large area of ​​light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. Countless stars swayed over, and when they touched the edge of the flying palace, the sound of Mingyu sounded, directly from the outside to the inside, and spread into the quiet room. .

Zhou Qing first glanced at the sound wheels of different sizes formed in the room, then raised his head and looked outside.

I saw a majestic flying city in the depths of the starry sky. Viewed from the outside, the city is no less than a thousand feet long from north to south, and probably more than two thousand feet wide from east to west. It is surrounded by a moat, which is no less than a hundred feet wide.

However, unlike the moats of ordinary secular cities, the moat of Feicheng in front of you is not sparkling water, but a silver glow like mercury, which flows silently in the river.

Further forward, we can find that Feicheng has opened four doors. There is a door for east, west, north and south. Every city gate is wide open, and you can faintly see inside, the wide white jade avenue, the pillars embroidered with exquisite dragon and cloud patterns, and the shadowy towers and pavilions.

At this time, above the sky, hundreds of escaping lights kept coming from a distance, like precious leaves and silver flowers, as bright as embroidery, and kept passing through the four city gates and entering Feicheng. From time to time, there are monks who see familiar people, hide their eyes, reveal their true bodies, and greet each other, which is very lively.

"Kunning Immortal City." Zhou Qing looked at it for a while, nodded, and said to himself: "This is it."

He took a deep breath, and the energy on the top of his head turned. The light dropped down, and the orbs tied on the silk ribbon of the miter shone brightly, making his face appear cold and hazy. Then he raised a ray of light, left Feigong, passed through the north gate, and entered the city calmly.

When the jade spirit treasure boat came at a lightning speed, it had already attracted people's attention. Now it is parked outside Feicheng. Even though the forbidden formation has been opened, it forms circles of treasure brilliance, covering the scene of Fei Palace. , cannot see the inside clearly, but a discerning person will know that this flying magic weapon is absolutely extraordinary.

What's more, when Zhou Qing came out, the zhenqi on the top door was pure and pure, containing sharp energy. He was definitely a practitioner of superior mysterious skills.

Not far away, five or six young men and women wearing Tianling Sect robes were getting off a flying boat. One of them, a beautiful girl, happened to catch a glimpse of Zhou Qing, her eyes lit up, and there seemed to be something graceful in her pupils. His Divine Marks passed by, and he spoke in a low voice: "The Qi of the Senior Brother just now is perfectly round, without any flaws. He really has a deep foundation."

"Zhu Xun'er." Seeing her like this, a mature and steady-looking senior brother next to him couldn't help raising his eyebrows, scolding, and said: "I've told you several times, don't use Xuan Gong to check unknown Xuanmen for no reason. Comrade!"

"I know, I know." Zhu Xun'er waved his hands nonchalantly, skipped inside, and muttered in a low voice: "But after I came out, among the people I met, this senior brother just now has the deepest foundation."

"You, you."

Zheng Tang was behind, almost jumping.

His junior sister's spiritual sense is so keen that it is almost a natural talent. Few of her peers can match it. After practicing a mysterious method in the door, she has reached a higher level and can detect the invisible. It's just that it's really not good for her to use it habitually.

The people she meets now are either people who are not sufficiently cultivated to discover them, or people who don't care and are unwilling to see her in the same way, so they are safe and sound. If you encounter someone with a bad temper in the future, something may happen.

It's just that the other party didn't listen to what I said.

Zheng Tang took a deep breath and decided to report to the real person after entering!

"Senior Brother Zheng." Someone with average eyesight did not see the uncertainty on Hall Zheng's face, so he came over and asked: "Is the senior brother who just entered here also here for the item in the auction?" ?”

There was a little worry in his eyebrows, and he said: "Looking at the flying magic weapon of the other party, he is definitely a wealthy person."

"Auction." After hearing this, Zheng Tang pondered for a moment, then raised his brows and said: "Everyone who heard the news is here. It is impossible for only our Tianling sect to participate. Anyway, one less competitor is not a less, more is more One is not too much.”

"Yes." The young man suppressed his worries. He still hoped that he could get it in his profession. After all, even if they don't need it now, bringing it back to the sect would be a great achievement.

Let's talk about Zhou Qing, his big sleeves are swaying, and his eyes are bright and full of energy.

He just noticed a probing intention, which was more invisible than divine consciousness and had an indescribable mystery.

However, Zhou Qing was only curious and didn't care. Because he found that the investigation on the other side was not malicious, and it was just a glimmer of light, unable to discover his roots.

After walking a few steps forward, the alert guard on duty saw Zhou Qing and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xianke, is this your first time in our fairy market?"

"Not bad." Zhou Qing looked around and saw people coming and going, including men and women, old and young. Their temperaments were also different. It seemed that some were from sects, some were independent cultivators of their own, and some were members of aristocratic families. person.

People from all walks of life gathered here, some were walking in a hurry, some looked like they were in a hurry, some were walking leisurely, not hurrying, not slow, very orderly.

"There are so many people."

"Usually, the fairy market is also very lively, but there won't be so many people." Seeing Zhou Qing's curiosity, the clever duty officer answered: "The main reason is that the fairy market will hold an auction in a few days, and there will be some precious treasures. Released, so all the immortals who got the news came over. "

"I see."

Zhou Qing nodded, with a flash of thought in his eyes. Could it be that the person who called him to come to Feicheng also wanted to let him experience the auction in this fairy market?

He thought for a while, but he had no idea at the moment, so he simply didn't think about it. He directly said to the guard on duty: "Prepare a good place for me. I need to stay in Xianshi for a few days."

"Shangzhen." Upon hearing this, the duty officer immediately smiled and said: "There are many incense houses in the east of the fairy market, specially used to receive distinguished guests like Shangzhen. Now there are still some incense houses available, I will bring them with me It’s really over.”

"Okay." Zhou Qing asked him to lead the way and said, "Arrange an elegant and quiet place for me."

The duty officer who led the way was not only smart, but also well-informed and eloquent because of the welcome and delivery. Just listening to his witty remarks made me not feel bored along the way.

On the contrary, Zhou Qing listened with great interest.

After all, in this life, he mostly stayed in the clan or in the mountain gate. He really didn't know much about the life of ordinary monks and low-level monks in the cultivation world.

What I have learned on paper is ultimately shallow, and I know that I have to do it in detail.

Although Zhou Qing had seen it while reading the scroll, when he heard it now, the memory in the scroll immediately became vivid.

Faintly, even the soul in his sea of ​​​​consciousness would sparkle from time to time, and there was a kind of joy of trying.

Condensing elixirs requires not only external medicines, but also internal medicines.

Where do internal medicines come from? It is in the process of traveling that what you see and gain is turned into material, nourishing the Taoist body, allowing the soul and true energy to further improve and strive for excellence.

After leaving the Zhenyi Sect, he returned to the Zhou family in Hengnan and saw Zhu Lin, a true disciple of Doumu Palace, in his "Wuyou Tiannvce" mystical skill, and gained a lot from it. Now when I come to Xianshi, I can see the hustle and bustle and benefit from it.

Not long after, the destination arrived.

In front of you are rows of incense houses. Although the area is not large, there is a pond in front of the door, bamboo plants behind the door, and a rockery garden. It is really quiet.

The guard on duty sent Zhou Qing to an incense house that was temporarily unoccupied and said, "Shangzhen, how about this incense house in Qiongyuan?"

"Not bad." Zhou Qing glanced at it, then took out a bottle of elixir from the Zhou family in Hengnan from his sleeve, threw it to the other party, and said: "If you have something to do, please send the letter to the hanging pot outside the Xiangshe. It doesn't matter. Don’t let anyone enter the garden.”

"Yes." The guard on duty responded loudly, holding the delicate-looking porcelain elixir bottle in his hand.

Zhou Qing ignored him, went straight into the Xiangshe, and sat down in the best prepared quiet room.

Facing the window is a wooden couch inside, and in front of the couch is a jade table. On the jade table is a bronze vase. There are no flowers in it, but a branch with green leaves and water drops on the edge, spinning around.

Zhou Qing took a look, closed the door, took out a set of magic circles he brought from his clan, and laid them out casually, then sat down on the cloud couch without haste, and then stood above the door, where the true energy dropped and collided back and forth. .

After he sent out a flying message, he closed his eyes and polished his Xuan Gong.

Zhou Qing first practiced the "Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Picture", a true mystical skill from the Biyou Palace. Later, after joining the Zhenyi Sect, he also practiced the "Spiritual Life Gold-falling Book", one of the five qi and four methods. They are all the best mystical skills. . Fellow practitioners of the two sects, metal and water are interdependent, changing every moment.

Regarding the practice of Xuan Gong, Zhou Qing never relaxed.

Although for monks, you must wait for the opportunity to condense the elixir, but there is no doubt that the more solid the foundation, the smaller the requirements for opportunities.

This practice lasts only half a day.

When Zhou Qing woke up, got off the bed, put away the magic circle, and raised his hand to open the window, the coolness outside immediately rushed in, dyeing his eyebrows with a layer of blue.

He watched for a while and was about to go out when suddenly he felt something and looked towards the door of Xiangshe.

At some point, a figure walked in at the door. He was wearing a unicorn crown and a cassock with a flying crane embroidered on it. He was very tall, but he didn't look obtrusive at all. He walked in slowly and his eyes were bright.

Zhou Qing let the other party into the quiet room. The visitor sat down on the chair, looked at Zhou Qing up and down for a few times, and then said: "I thought you would stay in the Zhou family's clan in Hengnan for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to stay in the Zhou family's clan in Hengnan for a few more days. Coming out so early.”

Zhou Qing also sat down. They had communicated several times through communication and were no strangers to each other. So when he heard this, he answered directly and said: "After all, I am only at the Qi refining level, and I can only reach my current level. It’s useless even after a long time.”

Speaking of this, Zhou Qing paused, his eyes green, and said: "If I had condensed the pill earlier, the effect would have been better."

"That makes sense." The visitor nodded, and then said: "But don't rush about condensing the pill. You should walk around more and see more."

Faced with the true teachings of his fellow disciples and the best of the younger generation, Yu Wucheng began to talk about his experience of condensing the elixir. He visited mountains, rivers and lakes, met all kinds of fellow practitioners, and then went through various battles. In the end, he collected the external medicine, found the opportunity, and broke through the barrier in one fell swoop.

Without the gains from traveling and the patience he maintained, he could not condense the elixir and achieve his current status.

Zhou Qing listened quietly. The experience of the predecessors was of course useful. He smiled and said, "Brother Yu set the meeting place in this fairy city, and it is also to let me, your junior brother, expand my horizons, right? This is really the first time I come to the fairy city."

"Seeing the world is one of them." Yu Wucheng sat steadily and said, "I also intend to let you come and see this fairy city. After all, I have a hand in the back of this fairy city."

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, then said, "Brother Yu, are you one of the behind-the-scenes bosses of this fairy city?"

"A very small boss." Yu Wucheng shook his head and said, "It's not easy to think bigger. , too many people to be on guard against. "

Zhou Qing thought about the intention of the other party being sent by the sect, his eyes turned, and he made a judgment, saying: "Brother Yu wants to use the Immortal City to expand the sect's influence in this area?"

"Yes." Yu Wucheng's eyes were bright, he had his own ideas, and he put them into practice, and made progress, saying: "Don't look at the Immortal City as a small place, but there are all kinds of people here, not only are they well-informed, but there are also many people, and they can find people who can barely be used. "

Zhou Qing listened and didn't say anything, but he understood the thinking and plan of Yu Wucheng, the senior brother in the sect.

Since the Zhenyi Sect recovered from the drastic changes in the sect, it no longer just guarded the mountain gate, and began to expand like other upper Xuanmen.

This area is one of the areas where the Zhenyi Sect exerted its strength.

From the appearance of the Zhenyi Sect at the Jingchen Dharma Assembly, we can see the clues. Although the Zhenyi Sect has just participated since Zhou Qing's session, and there is only one quota for inclusion,

As a famous selection meeting in this area, the Jingchen Dharma Assembly has always been controlled by Doumu Palace and Taibai Sword Sect in the Shangxuan Sect. The others are Laojun Temple and other Zhongxuan Sects, etc. In the past, Zhenyi Sect was blocked outside and was not allowed to participate.

But even if Zhenyi Sect exerts its strength and opens up a certain situation, people like Yu Wucheng from Zhenyi Sect still face great difficulties in doing things for the sect and expanding its influence in this area.
