The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 113: You don’t spoil me either (6k)

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing burst out laughing and couldn't help but think of the simulation when he saw the second uncle digging through the wall again. He imitated him and put the three crows in the blood river on his shoulders and head, thus avoiding the corpse wax crow for a short time and obtaining the "Yin Yang Secret" in the green mist.

Soon, a colorful altar appeared in front of him, with eight grooves around it, filled with the scent and powder of high-grade spirit stones.

Zhou Qing squatted down and took a closer look, and seemed to understand something.

If my guess is correct, I need to fill these eight grooves with corresponding high-grade spirit stones to activate them.

Then he can be teleported to the other side.

There, if we dig a little further, we should find the location of the stolen hole.

Now the altar is intact, which means that although the supreme elders repaired the hole, they were unable to lock it down.

Looking at the altar, Zhou Qing couldn't help but admire it.

This second uncle is really a genius. Not only can he find the cave, but he can also teleport into it and perfectly avoid the gravity zone.

A natural born tomb robber!
"Perhaps this is the only way for me to sneak in from now on!"

To avoid being discovered, he quickly turned back, took out a piece of paper, and began to record the soil conditions around the passage.

Until he arrived at the bottom of the No. 2 Flame Spirit Blood Pool again, looking at the still winding dark passage in front of him, Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment and decided to go back up first.

After pretending to soak for a while and making sure that the Supreme Elder had not arrived yet, he came down again and started walking forward along the passage.

He wanted to see where exactly the entrance to this passage was.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally reached the end. Then I used my hands and feet to start climbing up the wall of the passage.

Soon, he saw a ray of light coming from above, and at the same time, a foul smell came to his nose.

Zhou Qing quickly pinched his nose, frowned, slowly moved a stone on his head, carefully stuck his head out, and was stunned.

There is a toilet less than two meters away, no wonder it stinks.

Then he looked forward again, and when he looked forward, he was stunned for a moment.

Because not far away is the courtyard of a core disciple. At this moment, there is a girl sitting by the window, concentrating on carving wood carefully with a small knife.

Who else could it be but Lu Yaoyao?

After a while, Zhou Qing reacted quickly and gently moved the stone over, then jumped down.

For a moment, he was completely speechless about the second uncle.

He placed the cave entrance next to the toilet, and there was a female disciple living nearby. It was amazing that he could think of this.

However, on second thought, it doesn't seem right.

This passage is quite old. Lu Yaoyao was probably not born yet at that time. It is estimated that this place was cleaned up later and she was arranged to live in it.

"The most dangerous place is often the safest place, but the toilet—" Zhou Qing still found it hard to understand.

After drawing the route, he quickly turned back, sealed the soil, and re-laid the floor tiles. The spiritual power dissipated, and the spiritual liquid returned to the bottom of the pool. After making sure there was no leakage, he drilled out.

"It's so fucking exciting!" Zhou Qing couldn't help but swear.

Then, looking at the pool full of spiritual liquid, he didn't dare to delay even a moment. He quickly calmed down and quickly activated the Yin-Yang Sutra to absorb it...

Time passed little by little, and seeing the color of the blood pool begin to fade, Zhou Qing couldn't help but slow down the absorption speed.

"It's worthy of being the Yin-Yang Art. I've been walking around in such a big circle, and the speed of absorbing and refining it is several times faster than the Taiqing Xuanqi Art I used when I first came here!"

Zhou Qing sighed.

Although he also wanted to absorb all the medicinal power in front of him, it was not in line with his current physical condition.

For an ordinary person, such spiritual power didn't burst your body, but almost refined it completely. Let me check it out, what exactly happened?

Or is there a leak at the bottom of the pool?
Zhou Qing smiled bitterly and decided to stop. Besides, the three pieces of Flame Spirit Blood Ointment he got were much better than the liquid in front of him.

Not long after, Duanmu Shu's voice was heard outside.

"Zhou Qing, how's the soak going?"

Hearing the voice, Zhou Qing quickly put on his clothes, his face flushed, and then he bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Grand Elder, I have gained a lot."

Duanmu Shu nodded, went in and took a rough look, and couldn't help but look surprised.

"You've absorbed it well. Practice hard on your body. This is actually a very good way to practice cultivation!" Duanmu Shu encouraged.

Zhou Qing thanked him again and then left.

Before leaving, I carefully observed the surrounding environment and compared it with the passage map in my hand.

"I'm a little confused. I don't know if Blood Pool No. 3 is above that passage."

If you are there, you can just sneak down from Lu Yaoyao's place next time. Not only can you take a bath, but you can also dig out a few more pieces of Yanling Blood Paste.

In this way, I walked all the way to the front mountain, and when I passed the exchange hall, I unexpectedly ran into Senior Sister Shi Zhen.

"Senior Sister, you are not in seclusion?" Zhou Qing asked in surprise.

When Shi Zhen saw Zhou Qing, her eyes immediately showed gratitude. Then, she said with a hint of embarrassment, "After my last retreat failed, I used up almost all the spirit stones I had accumulated over the years. This time, with the Infant Formation Pill you gave me, I feel more confident."

She paused, then continued, "But the Infant Forming Pill is only the key to open that door. To successfully step inside, you need enough energy to push it open. So, I'm just taking some of the things I don't need right now to the Exchange Hall to exchange for some Spirit Stones."

Zhou Qing nodded, having almost forgotten about it.

After all, Third Senior Brother had already condensed the infant fire in advance, and even so, he still consumed an entire top-grade spirit stone.

Judging from this, Senior Sister Shi Zhen would probably need even more energy for her retreat.

Unfortunately, he really couldn't help with this. After all, he only had one and a half top-grade spirit stones left on his body, and he couldn't be so generous as to give them to his senior sister.

Moreover, one Infant Forming Pill is already equivalent to a thousand mid-grade spirit stones. If it were put at the auction at Lingyun Mansion, it would probably be impossible to get it.

When Zhang Wanbao was in charge, the remaining six infant-forming pills were sold at around 1,200 pieces.

"You look rosy, you've recovered well recently!"

Soon, Senior Sister Shi Zhen looked Zhou Qing up and down and couldn't help but say happily.

Zhou Qing touched his face. This was purely due to the stimulation from the Yanling Blood Pool.

"It's okay. Then I would like to wish you that you can successfully enter the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible!" Zhou Qing said with a gentle smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhen bit her lip lightly, then suddenly took a step back, and then bowed solemnly to Zhou Qing.

"Junior brother, I will never forget this kindness. Once I successfully enter the Nascent Soul stage, I will definitely repay you for this kindness!"

Shi Zhen spoke sincerely, with an extremely firm tone in his voice.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing hurriedly reached out and helped her up, saying, "Senior Sister, you're so polite. It's really no big deal. I don't have any use for the Infant Forming Pill myself anyway, so giving it to you will make the most of it. Okay then, Senior Sister, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving now."

After saying goodbye to Shi Zhen, Zhou Qing planned to walk back. After all, he had been soaking in the water for a whole day and needed to move around so that the medicinal power could be fully absorbed by his body.

Moreover, the set of body-building exercises given by the master seems to be quite good. I might as well practice them well during this period of time. It will be beneficial in the end.

There were constant messages coming from the token in the storage bag, and I guessed it should be from the third senior brother.

But for safety reasons, he never dared to check.

"Junior Brother Zhou!"

Just then, a greeting was heard.

When Zhou Qing turned around, he saw Du Kui falling from the sky.

"Hello, Senior Brother Du!" Zhou Qing greeted with a smile.

Du Kui asked curiously, "Why did you come to Shenyue Peak? No, I mean, did you come here alone?"

Xiaoling Peak is extremely far from Shenyue Peak. It’s impossible for Zhou Qing to walk all the way here alone, right?
Zhou Qing said, "I was planning to take the path of body refinement. Grand Elder Duanmu wanted to help me, so he gave me some opportunities. After he finished, he probably forgot that I couldn't fly with a sword, so he was just about to walk back."

Du Kui suddenly realized. Come to think of it, Zhou Qing had ventured into the cave several times and now he was in this state. It was reasonable for the Supreme Elder Duanmu Shu to give him some benefits.

"Well, I plan to go to the Soul Lighthouse. Why don't you wait here for a while and I will take you back later," Du Kui said.

Zhou Qing's heart couldn't help but move slightly.

Isn’t this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Ever since his innate skill [Mind's Vision] was upgraded to level four, he had four more binding slots.

Elder Jiang Pu, who guards the Soul Lighthouse, is his first choice.

Unfortunately, the other party rarely left the tower, and he had no excuse to go in. After all, he and his fellow disciples had already taken out their soul lanterns.

Now, he no longer expects to bind others to give him points, he just hopes not to be stabbed in the back by someone.

Taiqingmen is his home, and he doesn't want the collapse to start from within one day.

Zhou Qing asked curiously, "Brother Du, why are you going to the Soul Lighthouse?"

Du Kui said helplessly, "Nothing much. It's just that some of my junior brothers have been out for a long time. As their senior brother, I can't help but feel a little worried, especially after having a bad dream last night. So I thought I'd come over to check on them today."

Zhou Qing understood a little. The last time he went to Jinyang Peak, he learned that Master Gao Xuan had accepted a total of five core disciples. In addition to Du Kui and Luo Xue, there were three others who often went out to carry out various tasks.

Senior Brother Du Kui is planning to check the brightness of the soul lamp to gain peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing suddenly looked curious and said, "Brother Du, I have never been to the Soul Lighthouse for such a long time. Now that I have no cultivation, I am afraid I will never have the chance to visit it in the future. Why don't you take me with you and go there to broaden your horizons?"

Hearing Zhou Qing's words, Du Kui couldn't help feeling sad.

He nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll take you home directly after I'm done." "Thank you, Brother Du!" Zhou Qing expressed his gratitude.

Afterwards, Du Kui took Zhou Qing and flew towards the Soul Lighthouse on his sword.

The Soul Lighthouse is located northwest of the main peak, Shenyue Peak. It is heavily guarded, with only a tall tower standing alone among the mountains.

According to what we knew before, the interior of the Soul Lighthouse was not very big. It contained only the soul lamps of the Grand Elder, Peak Masters, Elders, Hall Masters, Deacons, and many core disciples.

However, it is guarded extremely strictly. Just as the second senior sister is worried, if the soul lamp is taken away and someone uses it to cast a curse or something, it may cause extremely serious consequences.

The only person responsible for guarding the Soul Lighthouse from beginning to end was Elder Jiang Pu.

The reason why such a crucial matter could be entrusted to him was not only because of the sect's trust in him, but more because of his awe-inspiring and terrifying cultivation.

Because the other party is a powerful person in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
"Disciple Du Kui (Zhou Qing) of Jinyang Peak wishes to see Elder Jiang!"

As the two approached the Soul Lighthouse, they did not dare to move forward, but bowed and said.

In an instant, a thin-faced, slightly hunched figure appeared on the top of the tower.

In his hand, he was still leaning on a soul lamp-shaped crutch. Who else could it be but Elder Jiang Pu?

"What's the matter?" Jiang Pu asked.

Du Kui said, "Elder Jiang, I've been thinking about my three useless junior brothers lately, so I came here to see them. I hope Elder Jiang can be flexible."

Jiang Pu glanced at Du Kui, then turned his gaze to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing smiled awkwardly and bowed again.

Jiang Pu sighed softly. The last time they met, the child's soul lamp had been flickering. Not knowing what had happened, he went to his house to check it out.

I didn't expect that you, little kid, have the same serious paranoia as your second senior sister, and are afraid that others will threaten you through the soul lamp.

I even specifically asked your master to bring both soul lamps back. In just a short time, you and your third senior brother suffered this misfortune.

Now the path of cultivation is even more cut off. It seems that some things are already destined.

"Wait a moment!" Jiang Pu said, and closed his eyes.

Du Kui was grateful.

Zhou Qingze looked at Jiang Pu, stared at him closely, and bound him immediately.

Soon, the [???] above his head was slowly replaced by fourteen golden characters: [The unlucky guy who was extremely miserable after being too cautious]!
Looking at such a long entry note, Zhou Qing was speechless.

No, you are stealing Li Daoxuan's job?

Including this time, we have only met twice in total. Is it necessary to have such a long note?
Why do I feel like there's a hint of mockery in it?

What does it mean to be overly cautious?

Is this the soul lamp that you want back?
There's nothing I can do about it. I have to simulate [Shenxu Tiangong] frequently. I have three chances to die each time. It keeps flashing like this, and I'm afraid you'll be scared.

But then again, Elder Jiang Pu's opinion of him made him a little unsure whether he and Uncle Gao Xuan were in the same group.

At least it seems normal now, which is a bit difficult.

Just as Zhou Qing was pondering, Jiang Pu opened his eyes and said, "All three of them are bright and vigorous, and are fine."

After hearing Jiang Pu's words, Du Kui finally felt relieved. After thanking him again, he took Zhou Qing and left.

Zhou Qingze asked curiously, "Senior Brother Du, how many Divine Transformation Realm masters are there in our Taiqing Sect?"

Du Kui thought for a moment and said, "With the Thirteen Peak Masters, the Grand Elders, the various branches, and those operating secretly that we don't know about, it's hard to say exactly how many there are. After all, our Taiqing Sect is an ancient and great sect with a long history."

Du Kui sighed with regret at this point, and continued, "It's a pity for the mission leader Gu Tao. Others may not know his true identity, but we core disciples all know it. Alas, he was a powerful figure in the Divine Transformation Realm, and he's gone just like that. By the way, has there been any news from your senior brother recently?"

Zhou Qing seemed to be thinking about something. After hearing Du Kui's words, he shook his head slightly: "Not yet."

Du Kui was filled with envy and sighed, "In fact, from his duel with the Seventh Prince, I could tell that he was not far from reaching the Divine Transformation Realm. He also held back against Xuanyuan Yichen. I wonder what kind of state of mind he has comprehended?"

"I'm not really sure about this. In my impression, the eldest senior brother seems to have been in seclusion practicing all the time. But once he comes out, he is really fearless. It seems like he is either fighting with others or on the way to fight!" Zhou Qing responded with a smile.

Dukui Dukui strongly agrees with this.

Nowadays, the chiefs of each peak have basically reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm, but it is a state of mind that has stuck them.

Every year, countless cultivators who have reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm can only stand outside the gate of the Spirit Transformation Realm, sighing in despair, feeling helpless and unwilling.

In the end, because their lifespan is about to run out and they are still unable to break through, they can only pass away with regret.

After that, the two of them said nothing more. Du Kui flew with Zhou Qing all the way until they landed steadily at the foot of Xiaoling Peak, and then left.

"Fourth Brother, why did Senior Brother Du Kui send you back? Did you go to Jinyang Peak again?"

Zhou Qing had only taken two steps when he saw Yan Xiaohu running down in a hurry.

"I went to look for you this morning, only to find that you were not there. I sent you a message but you didn't reply," Yan Xiaohu said worriedly.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to say, "I didn't go to Jinyang Peak. It was the Grand Elder who took pity on me and took me to the Flame Spirit Blood Pool to soak in it all night."

When Yan Xiaohu heard this, he immediately became envious, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable longing.

"You are definitely playing the pig to eat the tiger now, and you can even win other people's sympathy. I really want to switch places with you." Yan Xiaohu said sourly.

Zhou Qing couldn't help laughing.

After making sure that there was no one around, he secretly took out a jade box and handed it to him.

"what?"

"Flame Spirit Blood Ointment."

"What is Flame Spirit Blood Ointment? Oh my god, this this this—"

"Keep your voice down! I have a keen nose. I dug this out by accident from the bottom of the pond. Whoever sees it gets a share!"

"I love you so much. You are worthy of being my good junior brother. It's worth my love for you."

"Brother, it's said that gifts should be reciprocated. Why don't you give me your ten thousand year old blood ginseng? Actually, half of it will do. Brother, why are you walking so fast? I'm a cripple now and can't catch up."

…………

Yan Xiaohu was still too stingy and only gave Zhou Qing two roots in the end. Thinking back to what happened that day, Zhou Qing felt a little regretful. He stuffed such a big blood ginseng into his mouth and didn't take two good bites.

I heard that Master was in seclusion, concentrating all his efforts on refining the Soul Breathing Immortal Grass.

Afterwards, he took out the remaining two pieces of Flame Spirit Blood Ointment and conducted today's appraisal.

[Flame Spirit Blood Ointment: Contains extremely rich medicinal effects and abundant spiritual power. Oral administration is better, soaking is second best. Do not take too much, as it can easily burn your spiritual power and cause it to become violent and out of control.]

After seeing the introduction, Zhou Qing quickly took out his identity token and sent the message to his third senior brother.

Soon, I received a reply from Yan Xiaohu.

[I know, I know. I even fed a small piece to the old hen and am waiting for the blood egg to be born.]

Zhou Qing was speechless. This Flame Spirit Blood Paste was already an excellent thing and did not need to be refined or extracted.

Then he cut off a small piece, put it in his mouth, and began to refine it.

In this way, it took Zhou Qing more than half a month to absorb all the two pieces of Flame Spirit Blood Paste.

His strength skyrocketed again, but he was still some distance away from reaching the perfection of the Golden Core Realm.

Even if the third piece was not given to Yan Xiaohu, it would be impossible to break through.

He still underestimated the energy required for the two pills, especially after the Golden Core Realm was completed, what lay before him was the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, which ranked first among the Heavenly Grade Nascent Souls.

To reach this level, the energy required is extremely huge. After all, this stage is the time to lay a solid foundation for subsequent breakthroughs.

"If I can get the Flame Spirit Blood Ointment from the No. 1 and No. 3 blood pools, I'll definitely be able to reach the Golden Core Realm in one fell swoop!"

Zhou Qing muttered to himself as he made a rough estimate. Then he took out the circuit diagram he had drawn and looked at it. He frowned and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Lu Yaoyao's clear voice suddenly came from outside. Zhou Qing's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly got up and opened the door.

After seeing Zhou Qing, Lu Yaoyao turned her back, put her hands on her waist, and smiled slightly.

"Senior Brother Zhou, I'm here to give you something again!" Lu Yaoyao said with a smile.

Zhou Qing quickly invited her in, and then watched her take out more wood carvings from the storage bag, feeling quite warm in his heart.

Half a month ago, when I poked my head out from the toilet, I saw her carving with full concentration. It seems these are her recent achievements.

"Junior Sister Lu, I've actually gotten over it. You don't have to go to so much trouble to do all this for me anymore," Zhou Qing said gratefully.

Lu Yaoyao nodded. "I know. Your cultivation will definitely recover anyway. It's just a matter of time. I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well carve for fun. Maybe it can be a skill to make a living in the future."

Zhou Qing was curious after listening to Lu Yaoyao's words. After hesitating, he said, "You seem...very confident in me."

Lu Yaoyao neatly arranged all the wood carvings, then clapped her hands and said seriously, "Of course. In the entire Taiqing Sect, you're the only person I trust the most. Even if you sell me out, I'll gladly help you count the money."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly and said quickly, "This is serious, this is not a joke. How dare I sell you out? Not only are you the most beloved disciple of the head teacher, but you are also the most doted upon by Li Daoxuan and several other senior brothers, Little Six."

"You don't spoil me..."

Lu Yaoyao had just said this when she suddenly seemed to realize something and stopped talking. Then she immediately turned her head and looked at the wood carvings on the table as if nothing had happened.
