Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

In the divine senses of the cultivators of the Zhou family of Hengnan, an extremely dazzling and radiant clear light was approaching from afar, getting closer and closer. Even though it was still some distance away, wherever it went, it illuminated the heavens and the earth with brightness.

Almost at the same time, bursts of loud noises erupted, like rumbling thunder rolling in from the edge of the clouds, like ten thousand horses galloping, and even more like a bursting river surging forth. Even the aftershocks were enough to stir the heavens and the earth into chaos, shaking incessantly.

It was an unimaginable power rushing forth, howling with the raging wind and thunder, the roaring water and clouds, yet it was restrained by a powerful force, preventing it from running wild.

"What is it?"

From the Zhou family's ancestral land in Hengnan, streams of divine consciousness rose like stars, suspended in the air, looking up at the afterglow that had already appeared. It was an unimaginable clarity, followed by a fragrance that assaulted their senses, making their divine senses feel as if they were soaking in a warm spring.

Qing Sang Yuanjun, who had long discerned the truth, smiled lightly, and with a push of her slender hand, the vibrant vitality in the room suddenly contracted, transforming into a canopy. The canopy was pure green, with treasures forming a handle, topped by a towering tree that pierced the sky. She sat cross-legged beneath the canopy, her hair like clouds and her skin like snow, her pair of green eyes containing immense majesty, slowly rising into the air.

Behind her, four handmaidens in green dresses and blue robes held incense burners, wisps of smoke rising, from which emerged fist-sized scriptures, pure green arcs of light appearing, sometimes large, sometimes small, constantly colliding, playing wondrous music, and sparse light seeping down, with praises rising and falling.

Qing Sang Yuanjun turned her head slightly, looking at a Nascent Soul Dharma Idol that was also rising into the air. It was tall, with lightning swirling around its brows and a treasure map spread out beneath its feet. A silver pen was constantly writing on it, but as soon as it appeared, it immediately dissipated, making it difficult to see clearly, only feeling a hazy sensation. She opened her mouth and said, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhou Qing has a deep affection for your Zhou family of Hengnan. This time, his return brings a great gift."

This great cultivator of the Zhou family of Hengnan, with the deepest cultivation, had deep-set eyes, clearly a person with a deep city, but at this time, he also had a smile on his face, nodding and saying, "What Yuanjun says is true."

As soon as he finished speaking, the overwhelming and irresistible power had already arrived above the Zhou family's ancestral land in Hengnan. It was actually seemingly endless spiritual energy, with no end in sight. Because the quantity was so astonishing, it squeezed and collided with each other during its rush, emitting earth-shattering thunderous roars.

Looking from afar, the patches of spiritual energy were vast and turbulent, unprecedented, like countless clouds gathering from all directions, covering the Zhou family's ancestral land in Hengnan, extremely exaggerated and magnificent.

After a short while, when all the spiritual energy rushed over, it seemed to lose its weight out of nowhere, and with a rumble, it fell into the Zhou family's ancestral land in Hengnan. This spiritual energy was too rich and too pure, and as it fell, it collided with the original spiritual energy of the Zhou family's ancestral land in Hengnan, actually transforming into rain, falling into every corner of the ancestral land, silently nourishing everything.

Everyone in the Zhou family's ancestral land in Hengnan, whether they were direct descendants, collateral descendants, or ordinary servants, felt as if they had been cleansed from the inside out by this rain of sweet nectar falling from the sky, feeling unprecedentedly transparent.

The rain was evenly distributed, treating all living beings equally, without missing a single one.

However, the lower the realm and cultivation, the more outstanding the effect they felt. Especially those at the Qi Refining level, at this moment, unimaginable vitality and vigor poured into their bodies, causing the true qi within them to increase significantly. Those with extremely high luck even broke through their realm at this moment, and could not help but cheer and jump for joy.

In addition to people, there were also large tracts of spiritual fields in the Zhou family's ancestral land in Hengnan, planted with spiritual rice and spiritual herbs, lush and verdant. At this time, nourished by the sweet nectar, each plant seemed to emit light, making rustling sounds of growth, which made people feel very happy to hear.

The Zhou family members in Hengnan who had been responsible for the spiritual fields had gone mad with joy at this scene and could not help but shout and yell.

The reason why aristocratic families are aristocratic families, standing for thousands of years without falling, making ordinary people feel despair, is that they are meticulous in their food, clothing, housing, and transportation, which is essential. For example, the direct descendants of the Zhou family of Hengnan do not eat ordinary rice from childhood, but spiritual rice grown in spiritual fields. This kind of spiritual rice contains pure essence of energy. After taking it, it strengthens blood and qi and cleanses bone marrow, making their foundation more and more solid from childhood, far from being comparable to vulgar things such as meat, milk, eggs, and poultry.

Not to mention spiritual herbs. Ordinary cultivators have to painstakingly polish themselves through cultivation, accumulating over time, while the aristocratic children of the Zhou family of Hengnan, after embarking on the path of cultivation, naturally have alchemists in the family refine elixirs with spiritual herbs to assist in their cultivation, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

However, such meticulousness does not come out of thin air. The Zhou family members in Hengnan who are truly responsible for the spiritual fields not only work hard day and night, but also have to specially extract spiritual energy from other places in the family to supplement the consumption of the spiritual fields, causing the grade of many family members' cultivation places to decline. Such robbing Peter to pay Paul is also a helpless method, because the spiritual fields are too important, and the spiritual energy in the family is limited and not enough to be used freely.

And now, this sudden replenishment of spiritual energy is simply more timely than a timely rain, instantly giving the spiritual fields a great supplement. I'm afraid that at least for the next hundred and eighty years, there is no need to worry about the consumption of the spiritual fields. This is equivalent to reducing the spiritual energy loan by a hundred and eighty years at once, which makes the managers responsible for the spiritual fields laugh and directly take off.

In Qing Sang Yuanjun's eyes, spiritual rain was falling everywhere above the Zhou family's ancestral land in Hengnan, nourishing all directions, making every overhanging eaves, every spiritual tree and precious herb, and every step shine with light, dazzling and dazzling.

Under such an overwhelming and irresistible spiritual energy cleansing, the luck of the entire Zhou family of Hengnan rose by a notch out of thin air. Red qi that could not be seen by the naked eye diffused over, rippling in circles, making tidal sounds.

Others were dumbfounded at this scene, and at the same time, a sense of unspeakable awe arose in their hearts. To be able to raise the family fortune of a thousand-year-old family like the Zhou family of Hengnan with a wave of their hand exceeded their cognition. Only the great cultivator of the Zhou family of Hengnan, standing side by side with Qing Sang Yuanjun, had his profound energy rotating behind him and his eyes flickering. After a long while, he said, "Sweet nectar falls, nourishing and transforming spirits. True Person Zhou has truly brought a great gift to the Zhou family of Hengnan."

Qing Sang Yuanjun did not speak, but just nodded with a smile. She did not expect that Zhou Qing would directly bring boundless spiritual energy and directly raise the family fortune of the Zhou family of Hengnan. Such a feat was shocking even to her, a congenital deity.

"Moreover,"

Qing Sang Yuanjun's pair of green eyes looked at a piece of rain that fell in front of her. From this rain of sweet nectar, she sensed a kind of inexplicable vitality. Although it was extremely weak, I am afraid that even the great cultivator of the Zhou family of Hengnan in front of her could not detect it. As a congenital being of the wood element, she could perceive its extraordinary essence.

Zhou Qing is worthy of being a Xuanmen genius. As soon as he makes a move, he is shocking.

While the two were talking, after the endless spiritual energy, a shocking rainbow pierced through the air, filling the sky and the earth with brilliant colors, dyeing the surroundings with a mottled hue. Then, purple and green converged, dragons soared and tigers roared, and the sounds of profound harmony struck the depths of people's hearts like a great bell.

As time went on, the sound became louder and louder, each sound containing deep power, like stars surrounding the moon, followed by the majesty that filled the heavens and the earth, making all things calm.

In the end, behind the rainbow light, a magnificent flying palace was pulled out. An extremely handsome young man stood at the entrance of the flying palace, with boundless profound energy rolling behind him, a vast and mighty light, constantly supporting a huge and unparalleled spiritual energy gourd.

As soon as he arrived, the young man's gaze swept over, and that kind of brilliance seemed to raise two great suns in the entire Zhou family's ancestral land in Hengnan, especially dazzling.

At this moment, no matter whether it was a Nascent Soul cultivator who heard the movement and rushed over from the ancestral land, or the great cultivator Zhou Mishan, the family elder of the Zhou family of Hengnan, or even a congenital deity like Qing Sang Yuanjun, they all seemed to pale in comparison in front of the young man who appeared.

It was not just the realm of cultivation or the power he possessed, but the identity of the young man who brought boundless spiritual energy, as well as the legend and mythical color formed by a series of miracles he had created, which naturally gave people a sense of overwhelming pressure, making people unconsciously lower their heads.

Aura, this was the aura of Zhou Qing, the person who came. As soon as people saw him, they thought of that kind of legend and myth, as well as a future with limitless prospects.

"The Zhou family of Hengnan."

After Zhou Qing drove the Xuanling Zhenyang Flying Palace to arrive, his gaze swept over the powerful auras rising from the ancestral land, and his eyes were thoughtful.

Although the Zhou family of Hengnan was known as a thousand-year-old family with a deep foundation, compared with the Zhou family of Luochuan, a ten-thousand-year-old family founded by a ascended True Person, the gap was too great to be on the same level.

The highest cultivator in the Zhou family of Hengnan was only a great cultivator in the third level of the Nascent Soul realm, while the Zhou family of Luochuan had three Cave Heaven True Persons on the surface alone, and the current patriarch was even aiming for longevity. Not to mention, the Zhou family of Luochuan also had the treasure left by the ascended ancestor to guard the family.

The truly top aristocratic families in the Great Thousand World are deeply tied to the Xuanmen sects, with you in me and me in you, developing with the power of the great sects. Like the Zhou family of Hengnan, which does not rely on the Xuanmen sects, it seems to have freedom, but in fact, it develops slowly.

After turning his thoughts, Zhou Qing waved his big sleeve and landed from the Xuanling Zhenyang Flying Palace with composure. The vast light followed behind him, turning the area within a hundred miles into brilliance, and the sound of Xuan harmony rose greatly.

Such momentum was already shocking enough, and in the Zhou family's ancestral land, many people knew Zhou Qing. Now, watching with their own eyes, they were extremely excited, feeling as if a mythical legend had entered reality, making the world seem unreal.

Zhou Qing soon came to the front. The great cultivator Zhou Mishan led several Nascent Soul cultivators up. He walked in the front, took the lead in saluting, made a bow, his face full of seriousness, and earnestly said, "Greetings, True Person Zhou."

The others followed behind him, also bowing and saluting, resounding in one piece.

It was not only because Zhou Qing was a great cultivator in the third level of the Nascent Soul realm, but more because he represented the Zhenyi Sect, which was very vigorous in the Shangxuanmen, and also because of his generous gesture just now, bringing boundless spiritual energy, which greatly benefited the entire Zhou family of Hengnan.

With such a situation in front of them, they would not lose the dignity of the Zhou family of Hengnan by putting their posture a little lower.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing had a gentle smile on his face, raised his hand and returned a salute, saying, "Everyone is being polite. My achievements are inseparable from the previous training of the Zhou family of Hengnan. Now, this feedback of spiritual energy is also my way of thanking the family."

Speaking of this, the smile on Zhou Qing's face became even stronger.

The method of carrying this boundless spiritual energy was still the inspiration he got from the move of revitalizing the cave heaven after he carried spiritual energy back to the cave heaven from the Zhenyi Sect. Looking at it now, it is indeed worth his efforts. Whether it is the shock caused or the practical help given to the Zhou family of Hengnan, it is first-class.

It is not easy to carry so much spiritual energy, but fortunately, his current status is very high in the Zhou family of Luochuan and the Zhenyi Sect, and he took a lot of effort to get the Giant Spirit Azure Bottle.

In those years, a Cave Heaven True Person carried this strange treasure to collect essence in the Gangyun among the Nine Heavens and stored a massive amount of incredible spiritual energy. Later, this Cave Heaven True Person was reincarnated and returned, and this strange treasure was handed over to the sect. Over the years, this treasure has stayed in the main hall, spontaneously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making the spiritual energy inside more and more, without end. After Zhou Qing took out this treasure, he also put the nectar from the Creation Azure Pool into it, which has a kind of power to control creation.

Therefore, there is a reason why the True Persons of the Zhou family of Hengnan are so polite. This great gift is precious and practical.

"True Person Zhou, let's go inside and talk."

Zhou Mishan gestured with his hand, inviting Zhou Qing to enter.

"Please."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly. He came with such great fanfare, so he naturally wanted to have in-depth talks with the powerful figures in charge of the Zhou family of Hengnan.

In this way, Zhou Mishan walked in the front. He glanced with his peripheral vision and saw that Qing Sang Yuanjun, the congenital deity who had come to the family in advance under the guise of escorting Zhou Ming, naturally walked to Zhou Qing's side, lagging behind him by half a step, distancing herself from himself and others, and a different color flashed in his eyes.

The relationship between this congenital deity and Zhou Qing is indeed worth considering.

When they arrived inside, they entered the most magnificent and solemn hall of the entire Zhou family of Hengnan. It was filled with auspicious clouds, auspicious energy was sprinkled, and golden clouds soared, illuminating the surroundings brightly. A faint fragrance of lotus flowers diffused, permeating the surroundings.

Being in it was like coming to the legendary heavenly palace, and the whole person was in a beam of dazzling light, constantly receiving the infusion and cleansing of a surge of abundant vitality.

After everyone took their seats, Zhou Qing turned his gaze and found that only five people remained opposite him, led by Zhou Mishan. The other Nascent Soul cultivators had already retreated and returned to their respective homes, which he was not surprised by.

After all, in an aristocratic family like the Zhou family of Hengnan, there will be no shortage of powerful figures in the family, but there will not be too many truly high-level people in power. Otherwise, there would be a lot of infighting over important matters, which would be enough to make the family's decisions stiff and corrupt, not swift enough, and miss many important events.

Broad opinions and true concentration also greatly affect the development of forces like aristocratic families.
