Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Zhou Qing strode forward. On the silver crown, the emerald tied to one side shook slightly, and a faint light fell, reflecting into his deep eyes, giving his voice a layer of calmness, and said: " Zhenyi Zong, Zhou Qing.”

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Zhou Bida, who was standing behind the jade case, smiled even more when he heard this. He greeted Zhou Qing in a friendly manner, without any trace of the arrogance of Master Hualan.

He has been on duty here for a long time. Among other things, he has long developed a pair of sharp eyes and is good at recognizing people.

Ever since Zhou Qing appeared, he had watched his aura and attitude, and knew that the person coming must be a true disciple of Shangxuan Sect.

Faced with such a person, as an alchemy monk from the Eighteen Cities of Lianyun, he had no need to please, but he was not willing to offend him either.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Bida picked up a jade book from the case, handed it over, and said, "Fellow Taoist Zhou, this is your book of good deeds."

Zhou Qing took it and held it in his hand. He squinted his eyes and looked at the bright colors flowing on the jade album. Inexplicable sounds went up, down, left, and right, colliding with each other.

If Ruan An and the other four people, who had just left recently, were here and saw the booklet in Zhou Qing's hand, I'm afraid they would have a lot to say.

Compared with the slightly rough book of good deeds they bought with a large sum of crystals, the free book of good deeds in Zhou Qing's hand is as exquisite as a work of art and has more tasks.

This is the power of Shangxuanmen. Even the casual cultivator alliance must be given three points of preferential treatment.

Zhou Qing was flipping through the book of good deeds in his hand while talking, "Are all the tasks listed above complete?"

"It's complete." Zhou Bida said with a smile on his face: "If Fellow Daoist Zhou wants to take on any task, just find that one directly and insert a burst of Qi. The good deeds monument outside will sense it and synchronize it."

Zhou Qing's eyes flashed after hearing this.

Sure enough, just as I learned from doing homework in the sect and family before coming here, as long as I hold this book of good deeds, my general whereabouts will be known by the people in the casual cultivator alliance.

However, the casual cultivator alliance will not go too far. They will at most know a rough idea through the book of good deeds. Besides, if you really don’t want them to know about it, just use secret techniques to temporarily ban it.

Zhou Qing did not speak for the time being, but quietly looked through the book of good deeds in his hand. The tasks in it were really diverse.

Explore the way, preach and gain karma, transform magic circles, refine elixirs, donate heavenly materials and earthly treasures, kill water monsters, etc., etc., everything is available.

Behind each task, the number of good deeds is marked, more or less, very clear and not vague at all.

However, looking at the number of good deeds marked at the back of the task in the good deed book, Zhou Qing smiled. Compared with the difficulty of the task, the number of good deeds given by the casual cultivator alliance seemed a bit shabby.

After all, they are not their own people. The Rogue Cultivator Alliance treats people like Zhou Qing as "mercenaries", driving them to work hard with high-grade pure and clear glazed jade.

Zhou Qing flipped through the pages for a while, looking at the series of tasks, and said thoughtfully: "Killing the water monsters in the outer ring, the number of good deeds is quite impressive?"

"yes."

Zhou Bida glanced at Zhou Qing and introduced softly.

In the past three to four hundred years, for some unknown reason, more and more powerful monsters have appeared in the sea. Such monsters are particularly powerful in the water, and their destructive power is astonishing. What's more, they come together to form a "dragon pool and tiger's den" feeling.

As time goes by, they gather more and more, and when there are more, they become more and more fierce. The harder it is to kill him.

Regardless of whether they are people from Lianyun Eighteen City or from outside, seeing such a situation, they generally rarely receive tasks in this area. Even if someone takes the task, it is the task of cleaning up the water monsters on the outside. No one cares about the deep ones.

In this way, no one can deal with the powerful water monster in the depths, so the number of rewards for good deeds continues to accumulate, which is already amazing.

Seeing that Zhou Qing was tempted, Zhou Bida gave a reminder as before, saying: "Such water monsters are basically found in the outer third ring. Not only is the terrain of that water area extremely complicated, but the alliance's strength is not there, and accidents happen one after another."

Zhou Qing heard the good intentions in the other party's words, and joined the outer third ring to slay monsters in the chaotic and disorderly waters. Not only did he have to face the terrifying water monsters who took advantage of the terrain, but he also had to deal with the monsters hiding in the dark that might attack at any time. Other monks.

The right time, the right place, and the right people, all of which are not taken into account, it is extremely difficult to accomplish this task of rewarding a large number of good deeds.

"Wealth and wealth are found in danger."

Zhou Qing sighed, put away the jade book of good deeds, said a few words to Zhou Bida, and turned to leave.

Zhou Bida stood on the spot, watching the back of this true disciple of the True First Sect disappear, but above the door, there was still a vague frost-white aura, which seemed to be there or not, slowly falling, filling the air everywhere. The kind is sharp and sharp.

"Another powerful person." Without outsiders, Zhou Bida didn't have to worry about others. He frowned and murmured: "There are so many people coming to Xuanmen recently, and none of them are good."

He waited for a while, but when no one came, he counted the time again and felt that it was almost time. So he sat down quietly behind the jade case and used his magical power to penetrate into the wonder of a corner of the hall hanging down like a dragon's head holding a pearl. Then the light flourished and his consciousness fell into a void space.

The next moment, wisps of bright light rose up, condensing like lamp flames, and he sat on it, with a faint shadow vaguely outlining his appearance and figure.

After Zhou Bida appeared, he looked around and found that seven people had already arrived. He smiled and said, "It seems I'm not too late."

A young man in white shirt saw Zhou Bi Da, nodded slightly, greeted him, and said: "When Fellow Daoist Zhou arrived, only Senior Sister Xing was left."

"Senior Sister Xing is responsible for receiving the disciples of the Demonic Path, please help me."

Another person spoke, his voice was slightly sharp, but like the young man in white shirt, he mentioned Senior Sister Xing in a serious tone. It was obvious that the last person who had not waited had a high prestige among them.

At this moment, in this space, clusters of bright lights lit up, like starlight, and then a slender figure appeared out of thin air. She had a high bun, a palace skirt, and a lotus treasure lamp in her hand, with bright eyes.

Seeing this, the young man in white shirt smiled and greeted, saying, "Sister Xing is here."

"Yeah." Sister Xing responded gently, then looked around and said, "I just sent away a true disciple of Yinyu Sect, I'm late."

"Another true disciple of Yinyu Sect." The young man in white shirt's eyelids twitched, and said, "Recently, there are many true disciples from major forces."

"Yes." Zhou Bida heard this and added, "I received a true disciple of Yuanchen Sect yesterday, and just sent away another true disciple of Zhenyi Sect, Zhou Qing. They are all young geniuses and full of vigor."

Speaking of this, the nine people talked about the people they received and other information they had.

They are responsible for receiving people who come to receive the jade book of good deeds in the Taoist Palace. They gather once every three days to communicate and share what they have.

Not for anything else, just to grasp the information and know what they have.

Zhou Bi Da and this Senior Sister Xing are the main force, because one of them is responsible for receiving the disciples of Shangxuan Sect, and the other is responsible for the disciples of the Demon Sect. Such "outsiders" appearing in this area of ​​water cannot help but attract people's attention.

After half an hour, the young man in white shirt said after listening to the exchange: "The various sects of Xuanmo are developing faster and faster now."

After listening, everyone did not speak for the time being, but there was contemplation in their eyes, which could not be concealed.

The Xuanmen and the Demon Sect have flourished in recent years, and their momentum is getting stronger and stronger. The number of talented disciples under their sects has exploded sharply. In comparison, the Loose Cultivator Alliance is much inferior. Not to mention the lack of successors in the alliance, but compared with the Xuanmo, the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

If this continues, can the Loose Cultivator Alliance still occupy this area of ​​​​sea and maintain such a transcendent position?

Seeing the atmosphere was a little dull, Senior Sister Xing thought about it, and the lotus palace lantern in her hand moved, and the lamp flowers fell to the ground, rendering a bright light, and said: "Everyone, the major events related to the Loose Cultivator Alliance are planned by the real people. We just need to do the things at hand."

"That's right."

"That's it."

...

Everyone nodded, and seeing that the time for the party was up, they greeted each other and left one after another.

Zhou Bi Da returned to his hall, thinking about what he had heard at the party just now, his eyes were dark and bottomless.

All kinds of people gathered in this sea area, which would naturally stir up large "waves". Fortunately, he could stay out of it and sit on the fishing boat.

But for some reason, when thinking of the competition among the geniuses, a trace of envy naturally surged in his heart?

Let's talk about Zhou Qing. After leaving the Taoist Palace, he went back to the Fei Palace and sat on the jade branch in the quiet room.

Sparse cold colors fell down, and when they reflected the skylight outside, they naturally became halos of different sizes, circling around him, dispelling the uncomfortable feeling on his body.

Zhou Qing felt uncomfortable in the Taoist palace.

Because there was a forbidden magic array inside, it naturally suppressed the true qi in the body of a so-called outsider like him, and the sense of restraint really existed.

As a cultivator, no one likes to be bound. But when you come here, you have to follow the local customs.

Zhou Qing thought for a while, identified the direction, and drove the flying palace to the southeast.

Not long after, a city appeared in front of him, and under it was an extremely huge giant turtle. It stopped on the waves, motionless, and it was unknown whether it was dead or alive.

From a distance, you can see that in the city, there are many buildings, staggered and antique, and rays of light fall from the sky and gather inside. With a rumble, it splits into brilliance all over the ground.

The whole city is full of vitality in this sea area with people coming and going.

Zhou Qing arrived in front of the city, parked the flying palace outside again, got off the flying palace, took out the jade book of good deeds he had just obtained at the city gate, and then entered the city, then went straight in, and came to a mansion in a corner of the city without hurrying.

Zhou Qing stood in front of the mansion, looked at the two people standing at the door, took out his Zhenyi Order, and said: "True disciple Zhou Qing."

"Island Master Zhou." The two Taoist children reacted immediately after hearing it. After saluting, one of them said: "Island Master Zhou, please follow me."

Zhou Qing nodded and followed. Soon, he met his fellow disciple Liu Ji in the hall behind, a middle-aged man in the Danhua realm, who looked gentle and elegant, like a teacher in the secular world.

"Island Master Zhou." Liu Ji personally made a cup of tea for Zhou Qing. He looked at the sunlight outside, dancing on the tea, and asked, "Did you just arrive?"

"Yes, I just received a jade book of good deeds, and I rushed here." Zhou Qing sat upright, his posture like a sword, his eyes flashing, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, saying, "Deacon Liu, I came here because I need your help."

"Island Master Zhou, please speak."

Liu Ji listened attentively. He was sent by Zhenyi Sect to stay here for no other reason than to serve the disciples who came here.

When Zhou Qing came, he had already thought about it, so he said directly: "Please collect a list of people who came to this area in the past six months."

Hearing this, Liu Ji raised his eyebrows and said: "Master Zhou, the more detailed the list is, the higher the price will be. A very detailed list may cost a sky-high price."

It is not difficult to get such a list. Because the Loose Cultivator Alliance is very good at doing business, it has already marked the price, as long as you buy it, you can buy it.

It's just that this is the monopoly business of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, so the price they ask is not low at all, and it can even be called very high.

"It's all right." Zhou Qing was rich and generous. He waved his hand and said, "Deacon Liu, just do it."

Liu Ji nodded and said no more. He just said, "I have some information here about this sea area. Island Master Zhou, you can take a look first and have a general idea."

"I couldn't ask for more."

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up. Although he had learned some things about the Yuncang Sea Area from the sect and the clan, some of them were relatively old or outdated and could not compare to the first-hand materials now.

"Island Master Zhou, I'll take you there."

Liu Ji stood up and led Zhou Qing to the study room at the back.

"Here."

Arriving at the study room, Liu Ji opened it and pointed to the rows of bookshelves in the room. There were books and jade slips on them, which were classified and marked with time. They looked orderly, clear at a glance, and very detailed.

"Every once in a while, there are updates." Liu Ji pointed to the nearest bookshelf with a satisfied look on his face.

Due to the pressure from the Loose Cultivator Alliance, it was good that people like him from the True One Sect could establish a base in this city, but the number of permanent residents has always been strictly limited, and too many people from the True One Sect are not allowed to stay here for a long time.

However, although there are few people, each of them is smart and capable, and they also took the initiative to hire some people in the city to help, so this collection work was done well.

For these materials, they really worked hard and put in a lot of energy and time. Fortunately, hard work pays off.

Apart from other things, Liu Ji dared to say confidently that compared with other Xuanmen, the True One Sect’s work in this regard is definitely at the top, even if it is not the best.
