Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

"arrive."

Zhou Qing saw the continuous jade mountains in front of him, so he stopped the Yuzhen Baoling Palace on the top of the clouds. He held up the silver crown on his head, unfolded his big sleeves, and let out a ray of light, which seemed to be slow but actually fast, and fell towards the mountain gate. go.

The mountain gate is shaped like a fan, opening into the depths of the valley. Opposite the door is a stream. The source cannot be seen, but the water is gurgling and clear. On both sides of the river, peaches and plums are in bloom, and mountain flowers are blooming. From time to time, spiritual birds appear and appear, adding three or five clear calls to the leaves.

Zhou Qing's escaping light is brilliant and golden, like a cold sun shining in the sky. Colors are flowing everywhere, but it is also majestic and majestic. At first glance, it is the authentic Taoism.

So as soon as Zhou Qing arrived in front of the mountain gate, a beautiful female disciple stepped out. She had black silk stockings and a white dress. She had an exquisite face. There were some fine precious flowers on her forehead, with jade falling on them. She looked even more like a moonlight, elegant and pleasant.

She came outside and saw Zhou Qing standing quietly, wearing a silver crown on his head, with handsome appearance and calm temperament. There were fine lines on the cassock. At first glance, it was not ordinary.

The girl took a careful look at the patterns on Zhou Qing's robe, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, then stepped forward, Wanfu saluted, and said: "Which senior brother from the Zhenyi Sect is here?"

Zhou Qing looked over, and there seemed to be countless golden lights jumping in his pupils, and said loudly: "I am Zhou Qing, a true disciple of Zhenyi Sect, and I am here to visit Master Yan of Jingyuntai."

"True disciple." After hearing this, the girl blinked her eyes, and a little dignity appeared on her jade face.

In a Shangxuan sect like the Yuanchen Sect, true disciples are far more important than ordinary disciples.

Even if the young man in front of him is not a true disciple of the Yuanchen sect, but a true disciple of the outer sect Zhenyi sect, his appearance here cannot be ignored.

And when he thought about the person he was visiting, Master Yan from Jingyuntai, he was a high-ranking person in Yuping Mountain, and he had a really high position of authority.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through the girl's mind, and a beautiful smile appeared on her delicate jade face, and she said: "Senior Brother Zhou, please come with me. The Jingyun Tower where Master Yan lives is behind."

"good."

Zhou Qing nodded, agreed, and his eyes flashed.

There is no need to be secretive when visiting Yuping Mountain, the other residence of the Yuanchen sect, as that will only be a futile effort. In this way, it is the right way to directly show the carriage and come to the door.

After all, the true disciples of Zhenyi Sect have established a government and formed their own structure. They are named and have a surname. It is natural for them to move around normally within the Xuanmen's sphere of influence.

The two walked one after another for a while, and were already three to five hundred miles away from the mountain gate.

At this time, the girl leading the way stopped, took out a token from her sleeve, shook it gently, and opened the restriction in front of her.

In front of me, I saw clouds rising from the peak, frost staining the Qiongtai, a Milky Way hanging down from the sky, the color of the water hitting the steps, no river water at all, only a clear water light shining on the steps one after another. , the sound of rushing water could be heard in my ears.

Zhou Qing glanced at Tianhe, thoughtfully.

This Tianhe seems to be right in front of you and within reach, but in fact, it has been divided by the Yuanchen sect's masters with great supernatural powers and placed in other spaces.

I'm afraid no one in Dongtian can do such a method.

The girl leading the way had been observing Zhou Qing with the corner of her eyes. When she saw Zhou Qing saw Tianhe, he was also calm and calm, with no wave on his face, and said: "Senior Brother Zhou, please."

Zhou Qing stepped forward and sensed the spiritual energy coming from all directions. He even formed large and small butterflies and danced around people. He said with a smile: "This mountain is full of spiritual energy. Yuping Mountain is indeed one of the rare spiritual mountains in the world." , amazing.”

The girl who led the way listened and said a few polite words.

If a disciple of the Xia Xuan Sect or the Zhong Xuan Sect came and spoke like this, he might still mean it sincerely. But when it comes to the spiritual treasure peaks in the world, the Zhenyi Sect is at the top of the Shangxuan Sect. The true disciples of Zhenyi Sect heard that they lived in the top blessed land after opening their mansion, and such a person must have been to the cave of Dongtianren. How could he be suppressed by the spiritual energy outside Yuping Mountain?

As a guest, I was just being polite and showing my support. If I really took it seriously, it would be a joke.

Just as he was about to continue walking forward, at this moment, a man and a woman walked out from behind a high cliff and strange rocks.

The woman was wearing a white dress with elegant little flowers embroidered on it. Her black silk stockings were tied up with green leaves and hung to one side. The faint light reflected her beautiful, slightly lake-green eyes, giving them a mysterious color.

However, compared to her, the young man in front of her is not inferior in temperament. He wears a high crown with orbs on his head, and the semi-arc light keeps falling, making his whole body feel like he is surrounded by an inexplicable aura. With one movement, everything changes.

"Sister Qin."

When the girl leading the way saw the green-eyed woman, she quickly saluted and stepped aside automatically.

Because the person in front of him is a true disciple of Yuan Chen Sect and a big shot in Yuping Mountain.

"Junior sister." Qin Yun seemed to have a cold temperament, but when she spoke, she was surprisingly gentle. Not only did she stop to say hello to the girl, but she also stood up and asked, "Is something wrong?"

When the girl heard this question, she didn't dare to say anything. She told everything and replied: "Senior Brother Zhou from the Zhenyi Sect is going to Jingyuntai to pay a visit to Master Yan."

"A true disciple of Zhenyi Sect, the owner of Taihe Island."

After hearing what his fellow disciple said, Qin Yun looked at Zhou Qing, and the light in his green eyes became deeper and deeper.

As soon as she came down, the first thing she saw was not her junior sister, but this disciple of the True One Sect.

Nothing else, although his junior sister was beautiful and had good temperament, this Zhenyi Sect disciple was too outstanding. His junior sister stood in front of him, just like a little maid, and suddenly became inconspicuous.

This Zhenchuan disciple Zhou Qing was as dazzling as the sun, covering the surrounding stars.

"Zhou Qing."

As for the young man beside Qin Yun, he reacted even more when he heard this name. The gems on his high crown shone brightly, clusters of light extended, and strange lights flashed in his eyes.

He laughed, half turned to Qin Yun, and said: "Island Master Zhou is not only a true disciple of Zhenyi Sect, but also a direct descendant of Luochuan Zhou Clan. This is his first visit, so he is a real honored guest."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhou Qing again and said: "Junior Sister Qin, you can entertain Island Master Zhou. I can go by myself."

After that, this person greeted Zhou Qing, waved his sleeves, and walked down the steps like clouds on water, naturally and unrestrainedly, and soon disappeared.

Zhou Qing looked for a while, retracted his gaze, and turned his mind without speaking.

"Brother Zhou." Qin Yun smiled lightly, like a wisp of light rain in the courtyard in spring, and said: "Do you know Brother Qi from Doumu Palace?"

"Doumu Palace, Qi Wei." Zhou Qing shook his head and explained: "This is the first time I have met this Brother Qi. I have never dealt with him before."

Before he traveled, he was either in the clan land or at the mountain gate, and rarely dealt with people from other sects. He had never even heard of Qi Wei's name before.

Qin Yun didn't know whether she believed it or not. There was a smile on her face. She led the way in front and said softly, "It seems that Senior Brother Qi knows you."

"Senior Brother Qi," Zhou Qing turned her eyes and said, seemingly unintentionally, "Senior Sister Qin, what is the background of this Senior Brother Qi?"

For disciples of Xuanmen with equal status like them, at the beginning, they were all called "Senior Brother" and "Senior Sister". After getting familiar with each other and dealing with each other more, they would change to "Senior Brother and Junior Sister" or "Senior Sister and Junior Brother" according to age or time of entering the Tao, etc.

"Senior Brother Qi, he is a powerful figure." Qin Yun's skirt fluttered, and the rings on her dress collided and dinged, saying, "He is the number one figure in Doumu Palace, so you can see how powerful he is."

"Indeed."

Zhou Qing nodded, and this sentence was enough for a straightforward person.

As everyone knows, the Upper Xuanmen of Doumu Palace is completely dominated by female cultivators, and women occupy an absolute dominant position. As a man, Qi Wei is definitely not an ordinary person who can shine in such a sect.

"Dou Mu Palace."

Zhou Qing followed behind, with a hint of thought in his eyes.

Speaking of which, he had an intersection with Dou Mu Palace, the upper Xuan Sect, mainly because of the Hengnan Zhou clan.

It is true that Zhou Luoyun of the Hengnan Zhou clan is an inner disciple of Dou Mu Palace. More importantly, Zhou Qing has fought with Zhu Lin, a true disciple of Dou Mu Palace, and the two have a direct conflict of interest.

Could it be that Qi Wei has a good relationship with Zhu Lin and got the news from Zhu Lin?

It's just that Zhu Lin, a true disciple of Dou Mu Palace, suffered a clear loss when she was in the Hengnan Zhou clan. I didn't expect her to be generous and willing to tell others such an unpleasant thing.

The two of them had their own thoughts. For a while, no one spoke, and they were quiet, just walking up the steps.

After turning around a huge rock like a lion and tiger, and passing through a magnificent stone gate, a floating cloud platform appeared in front.

The golden skylight shone directly down, large patches of bright colors floated under the eaves of the building above, and then shot on the wings of the birds jumping in the bird cages hanging above, constantly flowing and clustering.

The cloud platform in front of him did not see a trace of shadow, it was clean and bright.

Qin Yun pointed with his hand and said to Zhou Qing, "Brother Zhou, this is the Jingyun Platform, and Master Yan is inside."

"It seems that I am lucky."

Zhou Qing injected his true energy into his pupils, and the golden light in his eyes turned. Faintly, he saw a column of light rushing up into the sky, and a strange big star fell from it. With a bang, it turned into stardust all over the sky, and it was magnificent.

Such a scene is not possessed by ordinary Yuanying masters. Even among Yuanying masters, they should be at the top. It is obviously Master Yan.

At this time, it seems that Qin Yun shot a colorful rainbow light from the floating cloud platform, and it came close in just one moment.

There stood a very clever-looking boy, wearing a small green scarf, with a falcon embroidered on his robe, and a look of excitement between his eyebrows.

When the boy saw Qin Yun, he smiled and came up to salute, saying, "How come Senior Sister Qin has time to come here?"

"It's Senior Brother Zhou who wants to see Master Yan." Qin Yun introduced Zhou Qing to the boy who came out of Jingyuntai.

"Zhenyi Sect, Luochuan Zhou Family." After hearing this, the boy did not dare to neglect it. He said a few words, took a letter handed over by Zhou Qing, saluted, and returned to Jingyuntai.

Less than a cup of tea later, the young man came back again. When he said to Zhou Qing, he looked much more serious and said, "Brother Zhou, Master Yan invites you."

"Okay." Zhou Qing nodded, turned to Qin Yun, and said, "Thank you, Sister Qin, for today."

"Brother Zhou, you're welcome." Qin Yun smiled, her beautiful blue eyes sparkling, and said, "Brother Zhou, go and get busy. Don't keep Master Yan waiting for too long."

Zhou Qing smiled, said goodbye, and left. He entered Jingyuntai and met Master Yan.

Master Yan sat on a high jade platform, with a vast starry sky above him. He sat below, unable to see his face, only the starlight from the sky, interpreting an ancient depth.

He looked at Zhou Qing, with stars in his eyes, shining brightly, as if he could see Zhou Qing's solid foundation at once. He smiled deeply and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou has a successor."

His voice was clear and cool, like the light cast by the kindest star in the night sky.

He meant what he said. Because from what he saw, Zhou Qing's foundation was so deep that he could definitely take the lead among his peers even in the Yuanchen Sect.

As a junior, Zhou Qing would not respond to such words, but just stood there in a proper manner, with an expression of guilt on his face.

Master Yan did not wait for Zhou Qing to speak, and continued to speak on his own, saying: "Fellow Daoist Zhou wrote to me personally, and I will do my best to do what he asked."

As a real powerful figure in Yuping Mountain, facing a junior like Zhou Qing, Master Yan did not need to hide anything, and spoke directly.

"Master." Seeing this, Zhou Qing knew that Master Yan on the jade platform in front of him did have a friendship with the elder of his clan. With such an introduction, he could just get straight to the point and said: "I came to Yuping Mountain to ask for a copy of Yuhua Lingkong."

Yuhua Lingkong, as long as he got this spiritual object, he could complete the last link of his life magic weapon Fuhai Tuntian Gourd, and completely complete this powerful magic weapon recorded in "Yuanhuang Hualongtu".

"Yuhua Lingkong."

After hearing this, Master Yan was not too surprised. He smiled and said, "If you ask for something else, it's hard to say, but there are quite a few Yuhua Lingkong in Yuping Mountain."

He looked at Zhou Qing and said, "I can make the decision and give you the middle-grade Yuhua Lingkong or even the top-grade Yuhua Lingkong directly."

He was very sure of what he said. And most of the time, the middle-grade Yuhua Lingkong is enough. He really decided to give the top-grade Yuhua Lingkong to the young man below for the sake of his old friend.

Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment. As long as it was Yuhua Lingkong, it would be enough. But since it was his own life magic weapon, he still had to try his best to make it perfect.

After Master Yan saw that the young man below remained silent after he spoke, but there was light in his eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you want to take a top-grade Yuhua Lingkong?"
