Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

At night, the East Pole Qinghua Mingyu Cave Heaven.

The cold light fell from above, forming a line, like a falling pearl, falling inch by inch, shooting into the water, reflecting with the waves, and the shimmering color spread all around.

Zuo Manshu sat on a half-floating cloud couch, with a bun on her head, and the remaining black hair hung down behind her, tied up with a deep-colored copper ring, engraved with fine lines, and continuously falling circles of halos, covering her beautiful body in it.

She muttered something in her mouth, and the dark green color on her head became darker and darker. From a distance, it looked like green bamboo poles, leaves overlapping each other, and the overwhelming vitality covered the surroundings, dyeing them with a layer of green, thriving.

After a while, Zuo Manshu, a true disciple, opened her eyes, and a hint of joy appeared in her beautiful eyes. She had made great progress in the "Miao Qing Can He Gong", one of the five qi and four methods of the sect, and had already comprehended the kind of vitality that existed in the dark.

She could make such great progress. On the one hand, she was rich in inspiration in the cave, which was extraordinary. On the other hand, she could listen to the teachings of the real person in the cave from time to time, and integrate them from the high-level perspective.

At this moment, outside the cave, a golden and jade sound suddenly came from the copper pot hanging under the eaves. Then, a rainbow light came in from the outside, and when it touched the qi, it formed a silver-white flying bird, with a long tail spread out, flying around the copper pot.

At this time, the jade sound from the copper pot became louder and louder, from gentle to rapid.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Manshu's smile on her jade face disappeared, she pinched a magic formula, took the flying book over, and held it in her palm.

After opening it, it turned out to be a letter from Meng Fei, asking him to attend a meeting.

After putting away the letter, Zuo Manshu sighed. He had to pay for his current situation, that is, living under someone else's roof and being ordered around by someone else.

In the past, they were both true disciples and treated each other equally, but now they have to do this because they are being taken advantage of by others.

"Let's go."

Zuo Manshu put away her thoughts, tidied her dress, and left the cave where she practiced lightly, heading deep into the cave.

The light of the sky hit her pretty face, and there was a faint shadow hidden between her eyebrows, which could not be dispelled.

Zuo Manshu had long been accustomed to meetings, but what made her uncomfortable now was that as Meng Fei, who presided over the meeting, became more and more upset, the atmosphere of each meeting became more and more depressing.

There was no conversation on the way. Zuo Manshu smoothly came to the meeting hall of the island in the middle of the lake. In the sparkling lake, a series of cloud platforms had floated up, with trivial cold lights hanging on them, like a full moon, icy and cold.

Zuo Manshu found her own cloud platform, gathered her skirt and sat on it. She looked at the cloud platform in front of her, which was filled with different halos, with a complicated expression in her beautiful eyes.

During this period of time, Meng Fei continued to expand his power. The team has developed from only himself and Wu Zhong to a group of heroes now. It looks prosperous and has an upward attitude. But everything is afraid of comparison, and the object of his comparison is Zhou Qing, the most popular figure in the sect recently and has always been ranked first on the gold list of Yushu Xinggong.

Meng Fei developed very quickly and developed very well, but Zhou Qing obviously developed faster and better. As time went by, the gap between the two sides continued to widen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, there was a slight sound, and a brilliant white air came from far away and landed on the cloud platform. Wu Zhong showed his sleeves and walked out, his handsome face full of coldness.

He sensed Zuo Manshu's gaze, met it, nodded slightly, and then entered his cloud platform and sat still.

Zuo Manshu retracted her gaze, thinking about the expression on Wu Zhong's face, and shook her head, not knowing what to say.

She knew the conflict between Wu Zhong and Zhou Qing very well. This outstanding son of Xia Yuan Wu, a genius of Dancheng rank 2, seemed to be doing his best to assist Meng Fei in order to deal with Zhou Qing.

But the result was that not only did Meng Fei's development not match Zhou Qing, but the distance between him and Zhou Qing was also rapidly widening.

Before Zhou Qing impacted the top ten disciples, although Wu Zhong was already at a disadvantage in the competition with Zhou Qing, no matter how to say it, the two were still at the same level. But now after some operations, Zhou Qing has become a giant in the sect, while Wu Zhong is just an excellent true disciple.

The gap between the two is not a natural chasm, but there is definitely an invisible gap between them.

For this, how can the arrogant Wu Zhong be happy again?

Thinking of this, Zuo Manshu stroked the drooping black hair with her hand, and the light was reflected on her pretty face, a jade color, warm and natural.

As for the conflict between her and Zhou Qing, she no longer wanted to think about it, because the gap between the two sides was too big. If she thought about it, she would only make herself unhappy.

She was following Meng Fei now, taking advantage of the shade under the big tree, doing good work, expanding her network, seeking some benefits for herself, and laying a foundation for the future.

As for the rest, forget it, as she was a "weak" woman and could not bear too much wind and thunder.

A beam of light was flying far away from this cave. When it came to the front, it swayed left and right, and fell down, dropping the haze in the sky, revealing a female nun. She had black hair hanging down in a bun, a white skirt as white as snow, and a flower basket in one hand. There were no flowers in it, but it was filled with huge seal characters, which were constantly arranged and combined, like the stars in the sky.

After the female nun fell, she looked at the sky and walked up along the steps under her feet.

From time to time, there was a statue of a star on both sides, some with three heads and six arms, some with eyes between eyebrows, and some holding a treasure wheel, with different postures, all with a halo. The rustling mountain wind came and hit it, and the chanting of star gods rose one after another.

Walking among them, Zuo Ziyang, the female champion, felt that the power of the elixir in her body was about to move, and she couldn't help but match it.

However, she was profound in mystical skills and quickly suppressed this impulse. She carried the flower basket and slowly climbed up.

When they came to the top, just before reaching the steps, there was a Taoist boy waiting here. Seeing Zuo Ziyang coming, he quickly greeted him and said: "Zuo Shangzhen, the master is waiting in the hall."

Zuo Ziyang nodded and entered the main hall. He immediately saw a bright starlight falling from the sky, like a beautiful lotus branch, slowly unfolding and splaying sideways. Countless star wheels emerged, and the light rose into the sky, stirring up the starry aura, and collided with each other, one after another, one after another.

A young man sat in the center, his face was solemn, and between his eyebrows, there was a star bead, which contained the preciousness of heaven and earth.

Just looking at it, you can see thousands of lights gathering into one, making people feel dazzling and precious.

Seeing this, Zuo Ziyang bowed uprightly and said, "Senior brother."

The person who can make a figure like Zuo Ziyang so respectful is naturally none other than Jing Beixuan, who ranks first among the top ten disciples currently in office.

This person is not only a direct descendant of the headmaster, with a profound background, but also outstanding talent and profound blessings. Ever since he became the head of the top ten disciples, he has been as stable as Mount Tai, and no one can shake him.

Among the top ten disciples, there is truly a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Jing Beixuan can sit still and has also cultivated to the Yuanying realm early. His power is evident.

If Zhou Qing, who is the most popular in the sect recently, is already a giant, then the one above is already a veritable giant. In the sect, there are even rumors that once Jing Beixuan can successfully break through and be promoted to the realm of cave heaven, he will be a strong competitor for the next generation of Zhenyi Sect's headmaster.

"Junior sister Zuo." Jing Beixuan sat on the high platform. After Zuo Ziyang took his seat, he opened his mouth to speak. As soon as he spoke, as if he was blessed by the luck of the stars, purple and green filled the place and said, "How are you preparing? "

Zuo Ziyang knew that Jing Beixuan above was asking about the competition for the top ten disciples in the next sect. She pondered for a moment and answered seriously, "We will proceed step by step. We will talk about the rest when we get to Phoenix Mountain."

They, the famous figures on the gold list, are competing to enter Phoenix Mountain. There is no fixed number for this number, it only depends on the sect’s final assessment. But there is no doubt that Zuo Ziyang is fine and she will definitely be selected.

Jing Beixuan listened while giving guidance. Not only did he come all the way and have experience, but he also had a high status now and could see more from a distance.

Seeing this, Zuo Ziyang also took the time to ask out his doubts. Even though the two of them refer to each other as senior brothers and junior sisters, they are indeed not on the same level.

After a while, Zuo Ziyang was almost done and wanted to ask a question, but she didn't know if it would be appropriate to ask it.

Seeing that the woman below was hesitant to speak, Jing Beixuan smiled, his brows were sparse and gentle as jade, and said: "Junior sister Zuo, do you want to ask me if I will still be one of the top ten disciples in any term?"

"yes."

Zuo Ziyang did have this doubt. The senior Jing Beixuan above could serve as one of the top ten disciples according to his term of office. However, judging from the rumors coming from the door, it seemed that he was willing to take the initiative to take the position.

In fact, for a figure like Jing Beixuan, whether he continues to be in office in the next term or whether he is removed from office, it will have little impact on him. But his presence or absence will have a huge impact on other people who want to compete for the top ten disciples.

Once Jing Beixuan is gone, a position will be vacant, and at least a new person will take over. It was not a lively fight like the last time in Phoenix Mountain, but those people were still in office and no one could defeat the top ten disciples in office.

Jing Beixuan heard this. When people are in the star wheel, Zhou Za's seal scripts rise and fall like stars. He didn't speak for a while. After a while, he said: "Neither me, Liu Qingru, nor anyone else is here now." He said he must continue or he must go.”

His eyes were dark and unfathomable, and he said, "Let's wait until there is a fight in Phoenix Mountain."

Zuo Ziyang nodded, indicating that he understood that the position of the top ten disciples was of great importance, and a person like Jing Beixuan who could advance and retreat freely would definitely have to work hard.

"Senior brother." When the matter came to an end, Zuo Ziyang thought of something again and raised his eyebrows: "Zhou Qing is too powerful now, and he has a sweeping trend."

She has been practicing in Zhenyi Sect for more than a year or two. She has experienced several competitions among the top ten disciples in the sect, but she has never seen anyone as fierce as Zhou Qing.

It was like a sudden storm, thunder and lightning everywhere, and it seemed that he had to be in the top position, and he must have a seat among the next top ten disciples.

And until now, Zuo Ziyang has not found out about Zhou Qing's background. He is still curious and puzzled about Zhou Qing's name in the Astronomical Academy twice and the Zhou family's uniqueness in Luochuan.

It's not that she didn't think of a way, many forces in the sect also used methods, but Zhou Qing now has many powerful people surrounding him, and they take the initiative to "protect" him.

During this period of time, Zhou Qing only made a few moves, which were fleeting and difficult to detect in the flash of lightning. Even this is not Zhou Qing's full effort, he has reservations.

"Zhou Qing." Upon hearing these two words, even Jing Beixuan, who had always remained aloof from the competition among the top ten disciples, turned his eyes and said, "This junior brother is indeed extraordinary."

Even he could only achieve a second-grade elixir back then, which was slightly worse than Zhou Qing's first-grade elixir. Not to mention, Zhou Qing left his name in the Astronomical Academy twice, which shocked the past and the present. Before the Nascent Soul realm, his performance in the sect was definitely inferior to that of Zhou Qing.

Once such a peerless genius enters the competition for the top ten disciples, it will indeed stir up a storm and sweep the general trend, making people willing to add icing on the cake.

However, no matter how strong the momentum is now, it will eventually have to pass the Phoenix Mountain Fighting, which is a real contest.

"As for Zhou Qing's trump card," Jing Beixuan thought of the news from a channel and had a vague guess, but this guess was too shocking and uncertain, so he didn't say much, just said to Zuo Ziyang below: "Zhou Qing must be a dangerous person, don't fall behind in your cultivation of Xuan Gong and magical powers."

Jing Beixuan said so, but he had another thought in his mind. If the news he got was true, and Zhou Qing really didn't take the ordinary path, then in the fight on Phoenix Mountain, even Zuo Ziyang would find it difficult to defeat him.

As usual, no matter how excellent Zuo Ziyang was, it would be difficult for him to become one of the top ten disciples with Zhou Qing standing in front of him. But this time the top ten disciples are different from the past, and there may be several vacancies, so there is a reason.

Jing Beixuan stood high and saw far, knowing that the sect was in turmoil. If he could get promoted and become one of the ten great disciples at this time, he could take advantage of the momentum of the sect and do great things.

If he missed this time, he would not know whether the sect would still have this luck next time.

Zuo Ziyang could hear the solemnity of Jing Beixuan's tone above. She tightened the flower basket in her hand and decided to go back and discuss it with her master. This time, she had to get promoted anyway.

Because Zhou Qing was too popular in the sect, which made other competitors feel pressured, or because the sect began to expand outward and made continuous moves, not only Meng Fei and Zuo Ziyang, but many places in the sect were talking about Zhou Qing.

As for Zhou Qing himself, he did not show up at this moment. He was in seclusion in Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven and had reached a critical moment.

With various blessings, Zhou Qing's "Miaoqing Canhe Gong" progressed faster and faster, and now, he was finally about to usher in a new breakthrough.

Once the breakthrough is successful, he will be able to make progress together with "The Purple and Blue High Saint Yuanhuang Transformation into a Dragon Diagram" and "The Spiritual Life Gold Book". Zhou Qing is about to experience the first true practice of the three methods.
