The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 144 When did I need to follow orders like a subordinate? (6k)

About half an hour later, several people clearly felt the rumbling sound of thunder coming from the front.

The sound came from far away, getting louder and louder, as if thousands of troops were galloping towards us. Just listening to the noise was enough to shock people.

As I looked forward, I saw an extremely huge mountain range, and the entire mountain range was completely surrounded by countless thousand-year-old thunder trees.

And each tree is engraved with dense lightning runes, which is extremely extraordinary.

Looking up at the sky again, I saw dark clouds covering the entire sky. From the clouds, bolts of lightning kept tearing through the sky like silver pythons, and then fiercely descended towards the mountains below.

Every time a bolt of thunder struck, it was accompanied by dazzling light and a deafening roar, creating a spectacular scene.

Before they really got close to this place, Zhou Qing could already clearly feel that the spiritual energy around him was becoming extremely violent.

However, because of his practice of the "Cang Lei Sword Art" and the thunder-shaped sword embryo in his dantian, he quickly adapted to it.

As the line of sight extended further forward, one could see countless stone platforms floating above the Thunder Mountain. Those stone platforms were scattered in the air in an orderly manner, and on each of them there were figures sitting cross-legged.

According to Lei Lie, these stone platforms are made entirely of thunder magnets, which can autonomously absorb the thunder spiritual energy between heaven and earth and transform it into thunder spiritual power that can be absorbed by practitioners.

It can be said that it is a small spirit gathering array in another sense.

This made Zhou Qing's eyes light up, and he became even more curious and expectant about Lei Chi.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the foot of Leishan Mountain.

Lei Lie looked at Zhou Qing and said softly, "I heard from Master that Junior Brother has been practicing your sect's Cang Lei Sword Technique, so he wants to use this Thunder Pool to further master and improve this technique?"

After hearing this, Zhou Qing nodded quickly and said, "That's right. I hope Senior Brother Lei will take good care of me."

Lei Lie smiled softly and continued, "I heard that the Cang Lei Sword Technique was mastered by Senior Duanmu. It is a powerful magical power that can skillfully combine lightning and sword energy into one."

"Back then, my Golden Thunder Sect paid a huge price and longed to exchange it for it, but Senior Duanmu refused to give it up. I didn't expect that you would have the honor to cultivate it now. It seems that you are truly gifted."

Zhou Qing was stunned. He really didn't know this.

Then, Lei Lie looked at Mo Xingjian again and said respectfully, "Senior Mo, you should know that our Jin Lei Sect's Thunder Mountain is divided into ten layers due to the varying strengths of the lightning. The lightning is slightly weaker on the outside, and gets stronger as you go deeper."

"The Thunder Pond is located at the deepest tenth floor, guarded by Elder Gong Zhen. From the first to the tenth floor, all the lightning emitted by the Thunder Pond can be used for cultivation."

"However, it is worth noting that only those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage can enter the deepest three layers. Otherwise, their lives will be in danger."

Lei Lie's meaning was very clear. Don't you want to use the Thunder Pool to practice? You can do so from any suspended stone platform on Thunder Mountain, but it is limited to the first to seventh floors.

After hearing this, Mo Xingjian nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then looked at Zhou Qing with a bit of concern in his eyes.

Zhou Qing, however, was filled with excitement and anticipation. He immediately bowed to Lei Lie and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Lei, for letting me know. I'll be there first."

"Be careful!" Mo Xingjian hurriedly reminded.

Seeing Zhou Qing flying towards a stone platform, Yan Xiaohu's eyes turned, and he immediately came to Mo Xingjian and said with a smile: "Master, since you are here, I want to go and take a look too."

Mo Xingjian couldn't help but turn his head and look at Yan Xiaohu.

When we set out today, this guy insisted on coming with us. Now seeing his despicable look, based on my understanding of him, he is definitely up to no good.

"I don't have any other thoughts. I just yearn for this Thunder Mountain. Look, this mountain is so majestic and magnificent. The brothers and sisters on it are like thunder gods. Just looking at them makes me want to go up close and experience it."

Yan Xiaohu quickly offered a wave of flattery, which made Lei Lie, who was standing next to him, show a sense of pride on his face and he enjoyed it very much.

Lei Lie had no choice but to say, "Senior Mo, there are still many empty stone platforms here. Since Junior Brother Yan is interested, let him try it too. It shouldn't be a big deal."

Since Lei Lie had already spoken, what else could Mo Xingjian say? However, he still quietly sent a message to Yan Xiaohu: "Don't cause trouble for me."

Yan Xiaohu immediately winked and playfully replied, "Don't worry, I'm such a good boy, I won't get into trouble. Master, just put your mind at ease."

Mo Xingjian just rolled his eyes.

After seeing Yan Xiaohu leave, Lei Lie said, "Senior Mo, accommodation has been arranged. Don't worry, if you encounter any danger, the Divine Transformation Realm elders on Leishan Mountain will take action."

Mo Xingjian listened, thought about it, and then shook his head and said, "I think this place is pretty good. After they finish their training, I have to take them back quickly."

The main reason is that Zhou Qing is in a special situation where the four flowers are gathered at the top of the head, plus there is this unreliable third brother, which makes it impossible for him to leave with peace of mind. It is better to stay close by, just in case.

…………

At this time, Zhou Qing picked up a stone and went in immediately. He immediately felt a pure force of thunder and lightning lingering around him. The feeling was quite wonderful, as if the force of thunder and lightning had become much docile and was no longer as violent and difficult to control as outside.

"This stone platform is truly amazing. Like an old hen, it directly removes the violent part of the lightning power, leaving only this pure part for people to cultivate."

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, then quickly took out the jade slip and probed into it with his spiritual sense.

But what he found was that there was still a vast sea of ​​thunder inside, and not a single word could be seen.

"Is it because the power of thunder and lightning here is not strong enough?"

Zhou Qing put away the jade slip and looked deeper into Leishan Mountain. After thinking for a moment, he went straight inside.

At this time, Yan Xiaohu also landed on a stone platform. He first looked around cautiously, and after making sure that no one noticed him, his face suddenly became excited.

Then, he stealthily took out a purple gold gourd from his arms and quietly opened the gourd.

In an instant, a powerful suction vortex came from the mouth of the gourd, and began to continuously absorb the surrounding lightning energy into it.

Seeing this scene, Yan Xiaohu immediately smiled happily.

"It's made, it's made, this time it's really made!"

It turned out that after observing for a period of time, he found that the most exchanged items at the sect's exchange hall were healing pills, lightning talismans used for attack, and various magic weapons.

He couldn't do the other two things, but he could learn the lightning-inducing talisman by himself.

Moreover, before coming to Leishan, he had done enough homework and knew that the most difficult part of making a lightning-inducing talisman was carving the thunder symbol inside it.

But now that he has these pure lightning powers, things are different. He can use them to make a large number of low-profile lightning talismans in a very short time.

The method of use is also simple. When the time comes, just throw it towards the enemy to create an area of ​​lightning bombardment to disrupt the enemy's position.

After absorbing all the energy, Yan Xiaohu headed straight for another stone platform...

Not far away, seeing Yan Xiaohu's worried look, Mo Xingjian covered his forehead helplessly and couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, Zhou Qing had already arrived at the fourth-level stone platform. Compared with the outer levels, there were far fewer disciples of the Golden Thunder Sect around here.

Even above the clouds, lightning would occasionally strike the stone platform directly.

At this time, Zhou Qing finally saw lines of words from the jade slip, but unfortunately, only a small part of the content was seen.

"Forget it, let's wait a little longer. The lightning energy here seems to be very beneficial to my Thunder-shaped sword embryo."

Zhou Qing first put away the jade slip, and then directly started to practice the "Cang Lei Sword Technique", and began to absorb the surrounding lightning power, preparing to use this power to further refine his thunder-shaped sword embryo.

Time passed little by little. When Zhou Qing realized that the power of thunder and lightning here was gradually losing its strength, he did not stay any longer. He immediately stood up and prepared to move to the next level.

At this moment, two bolts of lightning suddenly struck from the sky.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing not only did not intend to dodge, but instead stretched out his hand and grabbed the two thunders.

In an instant, a strong electric current spread throughout his body, causing him to shiver.

But soon, the pain gradually turned into an extremely enjoyable tingling sensation.

"interesting!"

Zhou Qing's lips curled up slightly, and then he headed straight for the fifth floor without hesitation. After reaching the fifth floor, he stopped for a while to practice, and then went to the sixth and seventh floors...

Roar!
On the seventh floor, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged, holding a jade slip tightly in his hand. Lightning arcs surged all over his body like spirit snakes, and strands of sword energy were wrapped around him, appearing extremely sharp. At this moment, he seemed to have completely merged with the power of thunder and lightning and sword energy.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, and lightning flashed in his pupils.

"I can only see one-third of it right now. It's several times more complicated than the first three. If I can fully master it, even if it's not as good as the 'Golden Crow Burning Sky Manual', it's probably pretty close!"

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, full of excitement.

Needless to say, the "Golden Crow Burning Sky Classic" is a precious technique inherited from the Golden Crow bloodline in the cave heaven.

At present, he has only reached the minor success stage of cultivation, but even so, he showed great power when he killed Song Yuan and Meng Xing before.

The "Cang Lei Sword Technique" currently in his hands, especially the fourth move, can be regarded as the finishing touch. It directly elevates this already impressive magical skill to an unimaginable height, and its potential is immeasurable.

"The person who can create this sword technique must be at least a Soul Severing Realm expert, or even stronger!"

Zhou Qing was amazed.

Then, he slowly stood up and looked at the barrier in front of him.

Once you cross it, you will reach the eighth level which only those in the Nascent Soul stage can enter.

But just as he raised his foot, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him with his hands behind his back without any warning, blocking his way.

"My name is Gong Zhen!" the old man spoke slowly, his voice low but revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Zhou Qing's heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Junior Zhou Qing, a disciple of Taiqing Sect, greets you, Senior!"

It turned out that this person was Elder Gong Zhen who was guarding the Thunder Pool, and he had a friendship with Master Gao Xuan.

When the master and his eighteen companions came to aid the Golden Thunder Sect, the first person they contacted was Elder Gong Zhen. Gong Zhen nodded slightly. He had already received news that the Taiqing Sect members had come to the Thunder Pond to cultivate. Looking at Zhou Qing, he asked, "Are you the one who killed Meng Xing and Song Yuan?"

Zhou Qing said embarrassedly: "Junior had no choice but to use some unpresentable tricks..."

"Well done!" Before Zhou Qing could finish his words, Gong Zhen suddenly changed his serious expression, his face full of joy, and cheered loudly.

This sudden reaction made Zhou Qing stunned.

Gong Zhen continued, "The methods used by the Cang Yan Dao Palace are despicable and cruel. There are few good people among those so-called geniuses. They have committed many evil deeds and deserve to be killed!"

After hearing this, Zhou Qing could only smile in agreement, and he actually felt a little more favorable towards Elder Gong Zhen's straightforwardness.

"You want to go to the eighth floor?"

Soon, Gong Zhen released his spiritual consciousness in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, first carefully checked Zhou Qing's cultivation situation, and then asked.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing nodded and said truthfully: "Junior needs stronger lightning power to assist in cultivation. I hope Senior can help me."

Gong Zhen hesitated for a moment, but quickly said, "The eighth floor cannot be entered without a Nascent Soul, but I am willing to help you!"

After saying that, Elder Gong Zhen waved his hand, and a thunder seal emitting powerful lightning power appeared.

As soon as the thunder seal appeared, it expanded instantly and then steadily covered Zhou Qing's head.

Zhou Qing really wanted to say, there is really no need for this thing.

But he meant well after all, so at this moment I could only thank him repeatedly with a grateful face.

After entering the eighth floor, Zhou Qing clearly felt that the thunder here was more violent and violent than that in the previous floors.

From time to time, there would be bolts of lightning as thick as buckets crashing down, which was terrifying just to watch.

Fortunately, there was the protection of the thunder seal on his head. As soon as these thunders approached Zhou Qing, they were absorbed by the thunder seal.

Zhou Qing also seized this rare opportunity and hurriedly probed his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip. He began to carefully memorize the newly appeared cultivation mantras, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After memorizing the formula, he immediately practiced the "Cang Lei Sword Formula" and the "Yin Yang Formula", and began to absorb the more refined thunder energy on the stone platform with all his strength.

This time, it took Zhou Qing a whole day before he slowly opened his eyes, his expression full of excitement.

Because his cultivation is also improving rapidly.

"Senior, could you take me to the ninth floor?" Zhou Qing looked at Elder Gong Zhen.

After a brief hesitation, Gong Zhen nodded and said, "Let's go!"

Sure enough, most people who practice thunder-based martial arts, in addition to having violent tempers, are also very straightforward, decisive and straightforward in doing things.

Two days later, Zhou Qing finally put away the jade slip with satisfaction. He memorized all the contents related to the fourth form in his mind and gained a lot.

As for the tenth floor, he did not go in.

That is the real core area of ​​the Jinlei Sect, just like the cave heaven of the Taiqing Sect. If you rashly enter, it might seem a bit rude.

Moreover, they might be misunderstood by the people of Jinlei Sect, who might think that after Taiqing Sect helped them quell the civil strife, they began to unscrupulously demand benefits.

If this causes any unpleasantness, it may not be beneficial to the subsequent cooperation among the three parties.

People should know when to stop and not be too greedy.

…………

Cang Yan Dao Palace!

At this moment, in a palace, a figure wrapped in a golden robe stood quietly by the window, not saying a word.

Beside him, two guardians with powerful auras stood respectfully, vigilantly paying attention to the movements around them.

Soon the palace door was opened and Sikong Yan walked in.

"Let's talk about the humanoid puppet!" A rather young voice came from under the golden robe, revealing a bit of dissatisfaction and questioning.

Then, a piece of image stone was thrown out, drew an arc in the air, and landed at Sikong Yan's feet.

Sikong Yan bent down to pick it up, but suddenly laughed and said disapprovingly: "What's there to explain? You should have guessed it when I brought the sample over."

"But it shouldn't be so cruel, right? Okay, taking a step back, why didn't you do this kind of shady thing quietly within the sect? Why did you have to do it outside and get discovered? Did you do it on purpose?"

After hearing Sikong Yan's words, the golden-robed figure immediately became angry, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees. It was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with the impact of this incident.

Sikong Yan said calmly, "Look at what you said. How could I do it on purpose? Now that the public is pointing fingers at my Cang Yan Dao Palace, who would be so foolish as to shoot themselves in the foot? This incident can only be described as an accident."

"I don't care. Anyway, I am in charge of the Eastern Region of Lingyun Mansion. No major chaos can occur. No matter what, we can't be outdone by those people."

The golden-robed figure still sounded dissatisfied. After a pause, he added, "You must deal with this matter as soon as possible. Don't leave any handles that will affect future plans."

When Sikong Yan heard this, his brows furrowed and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a sneer.

Then he said slowly: "I remember that we seemed to be in a cooperative relationship. When did I need to follow orders like a subordinate?"

"You..." The figure in the golden robe was suddenly choked and speechless, and the face under the golden robe became extremely ugly.

Sikong Yan ignored his reaction and sat down directly, saying nonchalantly, "Don't worry, everything is under control. I know what I'm doing and I won't make things worse. Don't worry about it."

"I hope you'll keep your word. Several people have already set their sights on me. I won't be in Lingyun Mansion anytime soon. I hope the next time I hear news from here, it'll be good news from you!"

The golden-robed figure gritted his teeth and said hatefully, then left with the two protectors.

Sikong Yan sat there, holding the imaging stone in his hand, tapping the table lightly, his brows furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking about.

…………

"Brother Mo!" Lei Wuji's figure flashed and appeared in the air, with a warm smile on his face.

Seeing the leader of the Jinlei Sect coming in person, Mo Xingjian quickly stood up and responded with a smile, "Brother Lei!"

The two smiled at each other, showing their friendship.

"I'm really sorry. You see, you've been here for three days. I'm really too busy to treat you properly." Lei Wuji said apologetically.

Mo Xingjian waved his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Lei, you're too polite. We are the ones who came here to bother you. Besides, it's the same over at Taiqing Sect."

Afterwards, the two naturally started talking about the humanoid puppet.

However, the magic circle was too strange. They pondered and discussed it over and over again, but could not find any effective countermeasures.

I don’t know where Cang Yan Dao Palace found such a strange method.

"I've met the sect master!"

Not long after, Elder Gong Zhen came from Leishan with Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu.

Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries first, and then Mo Xingjian took the two of them and boarded the teleportation array to return.

"How is it?" Mo Xingjian asked hurriedly after returning to Taiqing Gate.

Zhou Qing said excitedly: "It's worth the trip!"

"Me too!" Yan Xiaohu echoed from the side.

After hearing this, Mo Xingjian nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "That's good. I hope this trip wasn't in vain."

Afterwards, several people rode their flying swords and headed towards Xiaoling Peak.

"Senior Brother Zhou, where have you been?" At this moment, Zhou Qing's identity token brought a message from Lu Yaoyao.

Well, it looks like this girl is back.

When Zhou Qing got off the flying sword, as soon as he landed, he saw Lu Yaoyao teasing the old hen outside the yard.

Wasn't it tied inside? How did it get out?
"Senior Brother Zhou!" Lu Yaoyao turned around when she heard the voice and saw Zhou Qing at a glance. Her face was immediately filled with joy. She cheered and ran over happily.

The original "So awesome" on her head turned into "So awesome" again.

"When did you come back?" Zhou Qing asked with concern.

Whenever I saw this girl before, I always tried to avoid her. After all, she had a quirky personality and would do unexpected things from time to time.

But now, guessing that her brother might be dead, and she regarded herself as her relative, plus knowing the secret of the passage, Zhou Qing unconsciously began to put himself into the role of brother.

Things in the world are unpredictable. Even Senior Sister Luo Xue died suddenly in an unexpected way, not to mention Lu Yaoyao who was only in the Golden Core Realm.

I haven't seen her for such a long time, I'm really worried about her.

Lu Yaoyao chuckled, revealing two cute little fangs, and said, "I just came back not long ago. Oh, you are so powerful now, you are even in the top ten of the Cang Yan Dao Palace's must-kill list."

"That was all luck!" Zhou Qing laughed.

Lu Yaoyao shook her head and said seriously, "That's strength, not luck. In my heart, you will always be the strongest person. Others are not even worthy of carrying your shoes."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing felt a little embarrassed.
