The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 112: The Second Master’s Secret Passage is Here (6k)

I have to say, if I really become a disabled person, this is indeed a good path.

This is the case with Li Shitao from Lingyun Mansion.

However, since it is not your own body, it feels a bit awkward and even vicious to use it.

"Excuse me, Master, what is the second method?" Zhou Qing saluted.

Gao Xuan smiled. "It seems you're not interested in the first method. Indeed, possessing another's body is against the will of heaven, and it's difficult to walk on the Great Dao for long. As for the second method, it's actually not much different from the first, which is reshaping."

"Your body, shaped by the golden elixir, is far superior to that of an ordinary person. All you lack is spiritual power, and the source of that spiritual power is your shattered golden elixir. This ancient book contains a secret method; you might want to take a look."

Gao Xuan said this and handed over a yellowed book.

After Zhou Qing finished reading it, he immediately shook his head.

It turns out that this secret method is to dig out at least three golden elixirs from other people, and then use other spiritual herbs to reshape a new golden elixir.

After that, it is slowly cultivated in the body, allowing it to adapt to the body and gradually form its own golden elixir.

The success rate is as high as 60%, which is considered extremely high, but it is estimated that one will not be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime.

After all, the birth of the Nascent Soul comes from the transformation of the Golden Elixir. Things that do not belong to you are not yours after all.

By then, the resentment and will of others remaining in the golden elixir, plus your own, what do you think will be transformed into?

"Thank you, Uncle Master. I will consider it!"

Zhou Qing took the booklet and bowed respectfully again to express his gratitude.

Although the method was inappropriate, it was the solution that people had spent so much time thinking of for him.

Even if we take a step back, both methods can allow him to embark on the path of cultivation again, which is much better than being a mortal.

Seeing this, Gao Xuan didn't say anything more and said goodbye to Mo Xingjian.

"You're a lucky person. It would be a shame if you really became a mortal in this life. Some things you still have to fight for on your own. How can you know if you can't do it if you don't try?"

After Gao Xuan finished speaking, he left.

After watching Gao Xuan leave, Mo Xingjian walked down and picked up the booklet to take a look.

Yan Xiaohu was about to say something when Mo Xingjian immediately hushed him. His powerful spiritual sense quickly checked the entire hall before he felt relieved.

But to be on the safe side, I still communicated with the two of them via telepathy.

"Although I don't know what his intention is, these two methods are indeed feasible. It's just that they are a bit against the harmony of nature. Don't worry about you laughing at me, but I actually thought about the way of taking over another person's body during that time." Mo Xingjian said.

Zhou Qing didn't answer his master directly, but said, "I can't quite see through him anymore. When he said he spent a month looking for a solution for me, I was actually inexplicably moved."

Yan Xiaohu said, "I didn't feel that way before, but after what he said last time at Jinyang Peak, I'm a little scared of him anyway."

Mo Xingjian walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back. After a long moment, he said with a thoughtful expression, "Perhaps your guess is right. He may really not be the Senior Brother Gao he once was. The last thing he said to you was probably a double entendre."

Zhou Qing nodded in understanding.

[Some things, you still have to fight for on your own. How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try? ]

He might be talking to Zhou Qing, or maybe he was talking to himself.

"He seems to be reminding us intentionally!" Zhou Qing frowned slightly and said slowly after pondering for a moment.

Last time at Jinyang Peak, he mentioned that the headmaster and the others had some doubts about him. This time he came here specifically to leave such a message. I always feel that there is a deep meaning in it, as if he is hinting at something.

Mo Xingjian heard this and nodded slightly. He said solemnly, "He's just bored. He plays games alone for too long, and no one notices. It's boring after all. If you hadn't reminded him so many times, no one would care."

Yan Xiaohu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something crucial. He quickly said, "Master, are you saying that his mission is almost complete? Or that he's about to take action? Usually, people only feel bored when something is nearing its end."

Mo Xingjian nodded again, agreeing with Yan Xiaohu's guess.

Mo Xingjian nodded, then turned to look at the two of them with a serious expression, his tone carrying unquestionable authority: "This is no longer something you can control, so don't make a fuss about it. We will make the decision ourselves."

"Yes, Master!" The two of them saluted.

…………

After not seeing the old hen for a few days, Yan Xiaohu missed her a little, so he followed her down the mountain.

"This time during my retreat to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I lost a whole top-grade spirit stone!"

As soon as Yan Xiaohu entered the house, he couldn't wait to pick up the old hen and gently held it in his arms. While gently stroking its feathers with his hands, he said to Zhou Qing with a distressed look on his face.

No wonder there are so few people in the Nascent Soul Realm. Nearly 80 to 90 percent of the people in the Golden Core Realm have built their foundation through human means, and their limit in this life may be the Nascent Soul Realm.

Despite this, you still have to prepare the extremely rare Infant-forming Pill. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it at this step.

Even though Lingyun Mansion is such a big place, it took Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu a long time to run back and forth.

If he hadn't met the rich second generation Zhang Wanbao, he might have returned empty-handed.

Even if you are lucky enough to get one, the next breakthrough will require a large amount of pure spirit stones.

One top-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred high-grade spirit stones, ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones, and one million low-grade spirit stones.

How long would it take an average person to save?

Moreover, the lower the quality of the spirit stone, the more impurities it contains, and at least a mid-grade breakthrough is required.

Zhou Qing smiled and poured some water for Yan Xiaohu. He did the same. If he hadn't been given two top-grade spirit stones this time, he would only have about a hundred low-grade ones on him.

One of them has become much dimmer now. It has been used to restore the golden elixir for more than a month, plus the breakthrough to the late stage, and the subsequent use of [Shenxu Tiangong]. I don’t know how long it can last.

"By the way, Third Brother, what is the Nascent Soul you achieved this time?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

The cultivation world divides these Nascent Souls into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. Third Senior Brother has built his foundation on the earth veins, so the one he condensed should also be an earth-level Nascent Soul.

In response to Zhou Qing's question, Yan Xiaohu immediately chuckled and then took a deep breath.

The next moment, a dazzling light suddenly shot up from his body into the sky. Zhou Qing subconsciously blocked it with his hand and squinted his eyes. Only then did he see that in the light, a little man who looked almost exactly like Yan Xiaohu slowly emerged.

But it looks extremely tender and cute, with an otherworldly charm.

In addition, there is a red line on the forehead of the little Nascent Soul, which is full of violent aura.

At this moment, Yan Xiaohu's body was motionless, but his Nascent Soul came out with a smile, circling around Zhou Qing with a proud look on his face.

"Did you see the baby lines on the forehead? This is a unique mark that only the top 20 Earth-level Nascent Souls are born with. I, your third senior brother, am just so-so. I am the fourteenth Earth-level Violent Nascent Soul."

"In future battles, you can raise your cultivation by one small realm in a short period of time without any side effects. Not only that, the top 20 Nascent Souls at the Earth level have a 30% chance of reaching the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

Seeing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel happy for his third senior brother.

Soon, the Nascent Soul entered the body, and Yan Xiaohu opened his eyes again.

"But I can't compare with you. You will focus on Severing Souls as your foundation. Of course, my requirements are not high. After I become a Spiritual Transformation, I just want to take over my master's position. I can just become the master of Xiaoyao Peak and take in a few disciples."

Yan Xiaohu was quite open-minded, and then he said with a smile: "When you become a giant in the future, don't forget me if you have any good things."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Maybe you will be able to break through to the Soul-Severing Realm in the future. By then, you won't just be protecting our Taiqing Sect, but perhaps the entire fourth-level cultivation country." Zhou Qing said.

Yan Xiaohu immediately waved his hands: "With your ability comes responsibility. I like to guard our little piece of land. You are already in the late Jindan realm, and not far from the Yuanying realm. When the time comes, you must have the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head."

Zhou Qing shook his head: "It still depends on chance. After all, there is only a 40% chance. I'll try my best."

The two chatted for a while and then Yan Xiaohu left.

But suddenly she realized that he had quietly taken the old hen away without her knowing.

This made Zhou Qing speechless. Now that he knew he was fine, his greedy nature came back.

You are short of spirit stones, and so am I.

Just as he was about to read, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the yard.

"Zhou Qing——"

Hearing the voice, Zhou Qing immediately checked the "Dharma Image of the Void Realm" and then came out to salute.

"Disciple Zhou Qing, greetings to the Grand Elder!"

That’s right, the person who came was Elder Duanmu Shu.

A sense of consciousness quietly surrounded Zhou Qing. After investigating, Duanmu Shu sighed.
"I have been in seclusion recently. I just learned about your condition today. Life is really unpredictable. Are you okay?" Duanmu Shu asked with concern.

Zhou Qing smiled faintly and said respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Grand Elder. I'm fine. By the way, can ordinary people enter the gravity zone within the cave?"

After hearing Zhou Qing's words, Duanmu Shu felt ashamed, but more relieved.

See? These are her disciples from Taiqing Sect. Even though they are in this state, she is still thinking about helping them turn the key to enter the cave.

With such a disciple in my Taiqing Sect, there is no need to worry about its prosperity!
Facing Zhou Qing's expectant eyes, Duanmu Shu shook her head and said, "Ordinary people simply can't withstand the pressure contained in the gravity zone. Don't worry about that matter."

Zhou Qing's eyes were filled with disappointment when he heard Duanmu Shu's words.

Seeing Zhou Qing's lost look, Duanmu Shu said, "I heard that your master found a body-building exercise for you. How is your practice going now?"

Zhou Qing said: "We are still in the exploratory stage."

In fact, he has not even read the "Yan Yang Ba Ti Jue" given to him by his master.

Duanmu Shu said, "When I came here, I discussed it with the other Supreme Elders and decided to open the No. 2 Flame Spirit Blood Pool just for you for one day. Although you can no longer absorb spiritual energy, the various rare spiritual herbs in it should be able to strengthen your physique and improve the progress of your body refining techniques."

Zhou Qing suddenly looked up, his face full of disbelief.

The first time you enter the cave and help turn the key, you will be rewarded with the "Silver Dragon Hand" and a day's bath in the No. 3 Flame Spirit Blood Pool.

In that blood pool, he directly completed the transformation from the ninth level of Qi Condensation to the initial stage of Foundation Establishment. However, when it was about to end, the blood pool began to drop rapidly. Then he heard several supreme elders outside angrily joining forces to suppress a thief who sneaked in.

Although he didn't see the person, Zhou Qing clearly heard the voice of that person. It was none other than the Second Master. [Previous Chapter: Chapter 16]

Moreover, the second uncle was full of disdain at the time, and several supreme elders were unable to catch him.

Moreover, the Yanling Blood Pool was also the source of Third Senior Brother Yan Xiaohu's nightmare. Seeing Zhou Qing's incredible look, Duanmu Shu suddenly felt distressed.

After all, she has lived for thousands of years and will never have the chance to reach the realm of soul-severing in this lifetime. All she can do is to protect Taiqingmen and the next generation together with several other existing sisters.

When Yan Xiaohu brought Zhou Qing to peek at the kids taking a bath, they all thought the two little guys were quite funny.

After that, Zhou Qing was able to successfully pass through the gravity zone many times, helping them open the key and enter the restricted area to explore.

She was actually very optimistic about this child, but unexpectedly—

"Is this a thank you for helping us so many times? Do you have time now?" Duanmu Shu asked with a smile.

Zhou Qing came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly, with a look of surprise on his face: "Yes, yes, yes, senior, please wait for me for a moment!"

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he hurried in to get the body refining scroll given to him by his master.

Afterwards, Duanmu Shu took Zhou Qing straight to the back mountain of Shenyue Peak...

Not long after, he came to a mountain again, and the No. 2 Flame Spirit Blood Pool looked much larger than the previous No. 3.

The entire pool emitted a strange and fiery light, and the liquid in the pool was a strange dark red, as if it had been refined by endless flames.

The air is filled with a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

You have to know that no matter No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3, they are all diluted sub-pools, and the real main pool is where only a few supreme elders are qualified to bathe.

After all, they are the real spiritual pillar and the last trump card of Taiqing Sect.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. After all, you've been there before the 3rd!" Duanmu Shu said.

Zhou Qing was grateful, but after a moment's hesitation, he asked embarrassedly, "Um, Grand Elder, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Now I've already slept with No. 2 and No. 3. Look at No. 1..."

Duanmu Shu was stunned for a moment, then quickly burst into laughter. She then patted Zhou Qing on the head three times and turned away.

Zhou Qing touched his head.

Does this mean I should come in the middle of the night or three days later?

The Almighty is the Almighty, and he always likes to make people guess riddles.

After making sure that there was really no one around, Zhou Qing looked at the pool of blood with excitement on his face.

I have to say that the Supreme Elders still cherish the old friendship. This is pure pie in the sky, which was not expected at all.

"Then I won't be polite!" Zhou Qing rubbed his hands excitedly. Just as he was about to go down, he suddenly thought of something.

I haven't used today's [Daily Review] yet, so I might as well take this opportunity to see what good things are in it. If I can crack the secret recipe, I will make myself a No. 4 Flame Spirit Blood Pool to try.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing immediately conducted an appraisal.

Soon, a message was fed back.

[Flame Spirit Blood Pool: This is a pool of spiritual medicine diluted tenfold, containing extremely rich medicinal properties, greatly beneficial to practitioners. However, unknown to everyone, ten meters below the pool, due to years of accumulation and sedimentation, three pieces of Flame Spirit Blood Paste have already formed. And below the Flame Spirit Blood Paste, there is a passage leading to the Cave Heaven Gravity Zone.]

Looking at the information floating above the pool, Zhou Qing was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly became ecstatic.

Flame Spirit Blood Ointment, it sounds like a good thing, and it has been condensed over many years.

What Zhou Qing didn't expect was that there was a passage leading to the cave below.

In just a moment, he thought of the tunnel dug by the Second Uncle, and it was obviously not such a coincidence that the Second Uncle appeared here last time.

"No, that tunnel was repaired twice in a row by the Supreme Elder. Before repairing it, didn't he check the source of the tunnel?" Zhou Qing pondered.

Or maybe the Second Master arranged something so that the Supreme Elders and the others couldn't find it?

Zhou Qing was confused, but didn't care about anything. After taking off his clothes, he looked at the scar on his belly that looked like a caesarean section, and stepped in little by little.

Even though he had absorbed it once, he could still feel a violent energy rushing into his body when it came into contact with him again. The severe pain, almost like a burn, made him hiss.

Without saying a word, he immediately started to practice the "Yin Yang Secret" and began to refine it. He did not rush to dive in, but waited quietly and pretended to be in pain.

"Grand Elder, I have a cramp, my leg has a cramp, ouch~~"

Suddenly, Zhou Qing shouted, then slapped the pool anxiously, and then sank directly into the pool of blood.

After waiting for a long while, he finally stuck his head out again.

Seeing that he was not being monitored, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he covered his eye mask with spiritual power and dived down. When he saw the tiles and mud at the bottom of the pool, Zhou Qing directly wrapped them with spiritual power to form a vacuum isolation zone to prevent the spiritual liquid from penetrating. Then he took out the broken sword to pry the bricks.

After prying open three pieces, the moist soil underneath was revealed.

Zhou Qing felt relieved that such an important place didn't even have a magic circle, otherwise he would have no way to deal with it.

After taking a breath, Zhou Qing began his "Shawshank Redemption".

Time passed little by little, and soon Zhou Qing dug to a position ten meters below and found the first piece of Flame Spirit Blood Ointment.

This is a piece of material with a thick ointment texture, showing a deep and rich red color, and with a hot and strange medicinal fragrance. Its purity is far beyond that of the Flame Spirit Blood Pool above.

Zhou Qing was ecstatic. This was the essence accumulated over who knows how many years.

After carefully putting it into the jade box, Zhou Qing continued to dig left and right, and became more cautious, for fear of accidentally damaging it.

During this time, he would run up to take a breath from time to time, and observe at all times to prevent the Supreme Elder from suddenly appearing.

Fortunately, a second piece appeared soon after, which was even larger than the first. It took about two hours before the third piece was found in a deeper place.

"The spiritual power and medicinal power contained in these three pieces of Flame Spirit Blood Paste alone are enough to allow me to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm in a short period of time!"

After a rough estimate, Zhou Qing's heart started beating wildly with excitement.

I didn't expect that just a casual appraisal would yield an unexpected surprise.

Then, he looked downwards again, hesitated briefly, and continued digging deeper. This time, in less than half an hour, as Tetanus suddenly thrust down, the soil collapsed instantly, and a dark underground cave appeared in front of him.

Zhou Qing's face lit up with joy, and without any hesitation, he jumped down.

The moment he landed, he quickly entered a state of alert.

He released his powerful spiritual sense, and after confirming that there was no danger, he began to observe his surroundings.

This passage is actually as tall as a person, and there seems to be a faint cool breeze flowing.

"Could it be that it's connected?" Zhou Qing quickly took out a piece of moonstone and started walking forward.

After walking about a hundred meters, he suddenly thought of something and looked up.

"If the No. 2 Flame Spirit Blood Pool can produce something as valuable as the Flame Spirit Blood Paste, then No. 1 and No. 3 must also have it. I just don't know where exactly they are? Does this passage pass through it? And what about the main pool—"

As soon as Zhou Qing thought of this, a picture came to his mind.

Several supreme elders were soaking in it, digging with a hoe.

There was a jingling sound, and they were not deaf, so they could definitely detect it.

If it were to be dug through suddenly and all the spiritual fluids started to flow back, it would be too late for him to escape even if he wanted to.

"There's definitely a lot of Flame Spirit Blood Paste deep in the main pool, but there must also be a formation set up there. It could be triggered if we're not careful. Forget it. Number One and Number Three can try!"

Afterwards, Zhou Qing couldn't help but quicken his pace. Considering that he was now in the territory of the Supreme Elder, he didn't dare to use his spiritual power and could only jog on tiptoe.

"what--"

Soon, Zhou Qing noticed that lines of small words began to appear on the walls of the passage, and the sloppy handwriting was almost exactly the same as the two words "That's it" left next to the robbery hole he had seen before.

At this moment, Zhou Qing was basically certain that this passage was dug by the second uncle.

Then he took the moonstone and looked at it closely.

【I didn’t expect you guys would find out after all! 】

[Tsk tsk, this time I must see what's inside those coffins.]

[This is my second time here. I'm so scared! You guys are really guarding it so tightly! I'm almost becoming the headmaster of the Taiqing Sect, and you're saying you haven't figured it out yet.]

[Those three damn crows! I don't believe there's no way to avoid them.]

…………

The handwriting looked old, and as Zhou Qing continued to move forward, the nagging words on it became more and more.

It should be that the second uncle started planning carefully after he faked his death and escaped.

As he watched, Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"What a naughty old boy!"

If my guess is correct, these words were actually left behind by the Second Master on purpose, so that he could show them to the Supreme Elders in case they discovered this passage in the future.

It can be said to be a kind of showing off.

Just like the words "That's it?" left behind after the tunnel was dug through, who wouldn't be angry after seeing that?

Soon, two new messages began to appear.

【I finally escaped from this predicament. I will never come here again.】

[I'm back again, don't try to trap me this time].
