Alchemy Dao Immortal

Chapter 488: The Amazing Vision of Xinggong’s Cultivation
There was no conversation on the way, and they arrived smoothly in front of the Yushu Star Palace. Zhou Qing stopped his escape light, looked up, and saw this palace hanging above the sky. The vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth kept tilting down, like an upside-down river in the sky, with countless star wheels hidden inside, which were constantly rotating and emitting infinite bright light.

When you gazed at the stars, you would feel the same way about that one star, and then it would suddenly jump out and fill your mind, shining brightly, majestic and lofty. That feeling of riding the stars in the sky, high above, made you seem extremely small.

At this moment, Zhou Qing's sleeves moved slightly, and a large piece of clear light escaped, holding up the three-legged small tripod. Circles of residual halo stirred on it, and the spirit of the artifact Yuan Qinghua floated out from it. She had green hair and a red skirt, opened her eyes wide, and said, "Yushu Xinggong?"

After she finished speaking, she stared at Zhou Qing. The pearls tied with silk ribbons on her hair trembled, and the flowers fell with each stroke. She asked, "Do you want to practice in Yushu Xing Palace?"

"Correct."

Zhou Qing took out the certificate he got from his master, Guan De Zhenren, from his sleeve pouch. It was shaped like a pot, with a big belly and no lid. The wide opening was folded outward and cast with tiny stars. When people looked at it, colorful starlight would be cast into the pot, forming indescribable horizontal lines.

He looked at Yuan Qinghua, who was standing on tiptoe and looking up at the Jade Pivot Star Palace with squinted eyes, and said, "You have never been to the Jade Pivot Star Palace?"

"Do you think I'm a brat like you who has never seen the world?" Yuan Qinghua glared at Zhou Qing like a kitten with its fur standing on end, and said, "I used to come to Yushu Star Palace often!"

Of course, she wouldn't say that was in the past. She hasn't been to Yushu Star Palace in nearly a thousand years.

However, even though a thousand years have passed, for a real instrument like her that is able to extract all kinds of essences from heaven and earth, the wonderful experience she had in the Yushu Star Palace is still vivid in her mind and leaves a deep impression on her.

The Jade Pivot Star Palace is an important place for the Zhenyi Sect, a sect of the upper Xuanmen. It is located in the center of the center of the spiritual cave. It corresponds to the time of the sky above and is connected to the spiritual veins below, thus colliding and intersecting to produce mysterious and unpredictable spiritual inspiration. Staying in it, there are new discoveries every day.

Zhou Qing smiled and would not bother with this arrogant real weapon spirit. He clenched the bronze treasure pot in his hand and sent the power of Dansha into it. The next moment, the treasure pot spun around and spit out a bronze gas in the shape of a dragon, which wrapped around him. With just one move, he broke through the Zhouliu Wanxu Tianxing formation outside and reached inside.

The Yushu Star Palace, which hangs deep in the Zhenyi Sect, is as majestic and grand as it used to be, shining brightly into the sky. The entire building appears to have only nine floors, but each floor has changing celestial phenomena, and in a trance, it connects to different realms and worlds.

Even the two caves that Zhou Qing was most familiar with, the Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave and the Zhengumingxiu Guanghua Cave, became ordinary compared to him.

In such a place, even Zhou Qing would not move. He stood where he was, with the treasure pot on the top of the door emitting circles of bronze light that enveloped his body.

It seemed to sense the aura of the treasure pot on Zhou Qing's body. After a while, there was a loud noise, and a big crack appeared from it. Countless golden lights jumped out, like brocade scales bravely competing for the first place. Then all the golden light gathered together, holding up a boy with a strange appearance and a head as big as a bucket.

This big-headed boy, with golden eyes and wings under his ribs, did not look like a human. After he came, he looked him up and down, then said in a childish voice, "Zhou Qing?"

"Yes."

Zhou Qing responded and looked at the other person's eyes. The other person's strange appearance did not seem like a weapon spirit, but more like another race.

In the universe, there are not only humans, but also many other races. For example, there are thousands of races in the water, and some even once ruled the four directions. As for other places such as the void and the small world, there are also various alien races.

He had rarely seen it before, but he didn't expect to see it in Yushu Star Palace.

"Let's go."

The big-headed boy extended his hand and let Zhou Qing stand on the golden water light, then walked in the direction he came from and entered through the gap.

Zhou Qing only felt darkness in front of his eyes, with no end in sight. Only the water light under his feet kept surging forward, lifting himself and the big-headed boy forward.

After a while, the eyes suddenly lit up and a square palace towering into the clouds appeared, half in the clouds and half underwater. There were countless star patterns on the outside, connected together. When the sky was illuminated, it seemed to attract the power of the stars in the sky, floating on the surface, and emitting bright light, as if it would turn into a real star and rise into the sky at any time.

There was nothing on the plaque in the main hall except for a mark. When people looked at it, it was like a god opening his eyes, which contained infinite power.

The big-headed boy led Zhou Qing in through the side door, and after several turns, they arrived at a suspended attic inside.

Standing in front of the building, the big-headed boy pointed inside and said, "You should practice here and don't run around."

"it is good."

Zhou Qing took a quick glance and found that the space inside was not small, spacious and bright. Compared with the cave he usually lived in, it had a different style.

Perhaps seeing Zhou Qing's calm demeanor, neither humble nor overbearing, the big-headed boy hesitated for a moment before adding, "The Star Palace is connected to many different spaces, so be careful when you practice."

After he finished speaking, the big-headed boy stepped on the ground and a golden river rose up. He left the place and went back along the way he came to report.

Not long after walking a short distance, a young girl in a green dress came towards him. She was tall, with thin eyebrows and a stern look. Behind her, thousands of water droplets collided with each other, making a loud bang, and the sound echoed all around.

But after seeing the big-headed boy, the girl's aura subsided. The smile on her face suddenly became brighter like a thawed glacier. She took the initiative to greet him and said, "Brother Big-Head, how come you have time to come here?"

In the Jade Pivot Star Palace, the headmaster, the masters of the various halls, the supreme elders, etc., are high up and occupy one side. Under their command, there are many Taoist boys and girls, who are just used for errands and have low status.

The young lady in the green skirt is a disciple of the powerful figures. Although they have limited authority in the Jade Pivot Star Palace, they still have some authority, which can unlock some of the spiritual power of heaven and earth in the Jade Pivot Star Palace for cultivation. In addition, they can also gain experience for the future.

The big-headed boy saw an acquaintance and stopped his flight. His golden eyes flashed and he said, "Send someone with me."

"Who are you sending it to?"

The girl in the green dress walked a little closer. The precious color of the silver hairpin on her hair was like a phoenix spreading its wings. The remaining color of the tail passed through her eyes, making them brighter and revealing a kind of curiosity.

Although the big-headed boy, like himself, was restricted in the Jade Pivot Star Palace and could only stay in the Star Palace under the protection of others, the big-headed boy followed the headmaster. This alone was hard to ignore.

"You don't have to worry about this."

When the big-headed boy heard this, he deliberately said something with a stern face, and then without waiting for the woman in the green skirt to say anything else, he stepped forward, and quickly disappeared in the rolling golden light.

The woman in the green skirt looked at the golden light that was getting farther and farther away, and the big head, which looked as if it was running away in a hurry. She couldn't help but stamp her feet, spit, and said, "This big head!" She was originally planning to teach him a lesson, but she didn't expect him to slip away so quickly.

"but,"

The green-skirted woman turned her eyes around and decided to find out. She was chosen by her uncle to walk in the Jade Pivot Star Palace because she was careful and capable. If you take the initiative to find it, it will happen.

At the same time, Zhou Qing entered the pavilion. A gentle breeze blew across the lotus pond in the center, and the flowers and leaves swayed. After a moment, there was an indescribable fragrance that filled the air and floated around, like a light mist, hazy and making people feel refreshed at a sniff.

Looking up, there was a half-hanging in the sky above, and the vast starry sky cut directly across, with dazzling stars falling down in clusters and clumps, silently.

There are no bronze tripods or jade tables or cushions here, but there is the fragrance of lotus flowers, reflections of the starry sky, and a strange atmosphere.

"It's really unusual."

Zhou Qing stretched out his hand and casually grabbed a ray of falling starlight, watching it flow through his fingertips. It was so pure and brilliant that it was incomparable.

It is not impossible to get such inspiration in the Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave of his master Guande Zhenren, but one must use his spiritual will to soar into the sky, explore carefully, and then refine it.

There is a clear gap in the cost of acquisition.

"This essence of heaven and earth,"

Zhou Qing took it into his body, feeling its nourishment to his body, his eyes sparkling. The sect's head master and major hall masters could indeed remain at the top by providing them with such spiritual energy every day and night.

Now that my master, Master Guan De, has finally secured for me such a good opportunity, I must make good use of it and try my best not to let my master down and regret it.

After turning around, Zhou Qing swayed his body gently and came to the sky above the lotus pond. Sensing his power, the lotus flowers bloomed and naturally condensed into a lotus throne. He sat on it and practiced his profound skills.

The next moment, purer spiritual inspirations from heaven and earth than ever before poured in, nourishing the body, cleansing the divine will, and tempering the elixir. It was so easy and effortless, something that had never happened before.

"not enough."

Zhou Qing knew that his time for cultivation in the Jade Pivot Star Palace was limited, so he immediately sacrificed the True Artifact Refining Jade Cauldron and communicated with the artifact spirit Yuan Qinghua inside, saying: "I am accumulating the essence of heaven and earth to impact the Nascent Soul realm. Please help me."

Yuan Qinghua sat on the edge of the jade tripod. She was feeling the pure essence of heaven and earth all around her, jumping for joy. She rolled her eyes at Zhou Qing and said, "As long as you can contain it, it's fine."

In the past, she had always assisted Nascent Soul cultivators in their cultivation, and had never assisted Hepo cultivators. She had full confidence in her ability to extract the essence of heaven and earth, and her only worry was that the Dao body of Hepo cultivators could not compare to that of Nascent Soul cultivators, and the amount of essence of heaven and earth they could contain was limited, so she could not use it to her full potential.

"Then let's get started."

Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, practicing his profound skills. His San Luo Dao body emitted a faint halo that shone in all directions. Wisps of dark patterns rose and fell with his breathing.

"Then start."

Yuan Qinghua looked at Zhou Qing and snorted. She formed seals with her slender hands at an extremely fast speed, and the Lianzhen Jade Cauldron suddenly flew into the air and jumped on it. The phoenix patterns and dragon emblems on the cauldron lit up one after another, expanding in all directions in an unimaginable trajectory.

After a while, the void responded, and the essence of heaven and earth was drawn down from the darkness, some in the shape of dragons, shaking their heads and tails, with beards spread and eyes glaring, and some in the shape of phoenixes, with flying wings and long feathers, and singing like jade. Although they were all in the shape of dragons and phoenixes, they were of different sizes, species, and brilliance.

This is of course not a real dragon and phoenix, but the essence of heaven and earth of different grades extracted from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that the real jade cauldron can touch from this place. This essence of heaven and earth is so pure that it looks like a dragon and a phoenix.

Yuan Qinghua looked at the large areas of dragon and phoenix shapes, and there was surprise in her beautiful eyes. Although she was very confident in her ability to extract the essence of heaven and earth, just as a skilled cook cannot cook without rice, the more inspiration there is, the higher the level, the easier it will be to extract.

If it weren't in this Yushu Star Palace, but in some other place, it wouldn't be so easy to extract so much high-quality essence of heaven and earth.

And according to her memory, this inspiration seems to be more prosperous than a thousand years ago, and there is a sense of prosperity in it.

"Thank goodness I followed you."

In the eyes of Yuan Qinghua, there is a brilliance. As a real artifact, she has improved by refining the essence of heaven and earth again and again, and some of them are high-quality essences of heaven and earth. There is no doubt that Yushu Xing Palace is the place she has always dreamed of.

"Duh."

While thinking about this, Yuan Qinghua controlled the essence of heaven and earth that he had extracted and shot it at Zhou Qing for him to devour.

From afar, shapes of dragons and phoenixes were rushing into Zhou Qing's body, and there were constant sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing, which contained the most beautiful sound in the world.

As for Zhou Qing, under the infusion of such essence of heaven and earth, he felt as if a river had burst its banks, with immeasurable water gushing out from it, crashing into his body, and then flowing along the meridians in his body, creating a wave and moving forward continuously.

In the past, Zhou Qing practiced the three methods at the same time, and practiced the three most advanced profound skills. One of the major problems was that the spiritual energy introduced from heaven and earth was not enough. Often, he needed the sweet rain from the strange treasure Creation Green Pond to supplement it. But the sweet rain was hard to come by, and it often needed to be used at critical moments, and could not be used at will.

During the period of cultivation, the feeling of “being short of money” and inability to do what one wants will always exist.

And now, for the first time, he had the luxury of spending money lavishly. He could spend it whenever he wanted, as he pleased, in an endless supply. That kind of carefreeness made his mind more agile than usual.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Qing immediately activated both of his spirits, practicing three profound skills in turn, namely, "The Picture of the Purple and Blue High Saint Yuanhuang Transforming into a Dragon", "The Book of the Spiritual Life and the Descent of Gold", and "The Wonderful Green Can He Gong".

One is the sacred method of the Biyou Palace, which was once the overlord of a super sect on the sea; two are the top profound skills of the Zhenyi Sect at the level of the Five Qi and Four Methods. Once these three profound skills are fully activated, especially the interaction between each of them, the mutual generation of gold and water, and the assistance of water and wood, the amount of essence of heaven and earth consumed is astonishing.
