The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 159: A Brave, Resourceful, and Powerful Child (6k)

The war among the five sects has been going on for several years now, and everyone has begun to become much calmer in this fight.

Everyone was talking and laughing about the past, full of nostalgia. Sometimes they also talked about people they once knew but no longer saw, leaving only regret and sigh.

"You are currently ranked sixth on the Cang Yan Dao Palace's must-kill list. Especially with Sima Yaoji eyeing you, if you travel, you must be careful and careful. There are many who want to take your head."

After three rounds of drinks, Li Daoxuan gave instructions, and Zhou Qing nodded with gratitude.

"Recently, those guys from the Tianji Sect have been using the Divine Secret Technique to disguise themselves as members of our Three Sects Alliance, pretending to be under siege and tricking us into coming to their rescue. Many people have already been killed in this situation."

Li Daoxuan was filled with anger when he talked about this, and he also reminded Zhou Qing and He Han.

Sometimes what you see outside may not be true, so you must be careful!
He then talked about some of his experiences, including the details of the experience, the dangers encountered and the lessons learned, hoping that those present would take it as a warning.

"I guess I won't be able to stay for a few days this time before I have to go out again. This thing called artistic conception is really difficult!" Li Daoxuan said with a wry smile.

He Han didn't say anything, but just silently toasted his senior brother.

He is now in the late Nascent Soul stage, and he doesn't know when he will be able to break through to perfection, let alone the Spiritual Transformation stage.

The further you go on the path of cultivation, the harder it becomes, and only you know the hardships involved.

"How are you now?" After drinking a glass, Li Daoxuan looked at Lu Yaoyao and asked.

Lu Yaoyao replied: "I can already feel the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul, but it will probably take some time to truly touch it."

Li Daoxuan was filled with relief: "Don't worry, you are now in the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm, and you are also in the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. It is only a matter of time before you break through. Don't take things like the Infant Forming Pill."

Lu Yaoyao nodded to indicate that she would not.

After chatting for a while, Li Daoxuan stood up with his wine glass, walked out the door, looked at Yushan Hall with a complicated look, and then drank it all in one gulp.

“There are really fewer people coming here to eat!”

…………

Li Daoxuan left quietly one night three days later, and Zhou Qing also asked the sect for a humanoid puppet for research purposes.

Two months later, he finally condensed twenty spirit seals, which meant that he could start to master the thousands of first-level magic arrays in the inheritance left by Senior Xuan Qingzi.

Moreover, it is a completely uniform formation, and its power far exceeds that of ordinary formations.

"Although Senior Xuan Qingzi didn't record the magic circle inside the puppet, I think I can slowly try to reverse it!"

Now Zhou Qing has a certain degree of understanding of the battle formation and is full of confidence.

This world is really too vast. God knows how many large and small cultivation countries there are, not to mention the starry sky battlefields.

Although Senior Xuan Qingzi was a ninth-level formation master, the inheritance he left behind was only the part he understood and mastered. After all, a person's knowledge and learning are ultimately limited.

Just like an alchemist, everyone has his or her own unique recipe for elixir, and everything in this world is constantly being updated, with all kinds of new things emerging in an endless stream.

What Zhou Qing can do is not just guard the treasure, but also be good at digging and drawing inferences from one instance.

Time passed day by day, and strangely, the formation embedded in the puppet seemed to be constantly changing.

No wonder the sect has no clue yet. It turns out that it is really not easy to crack it successfully.

"What's the matter? You want to crack it? I advise you to save your energy!" That day, Yan Xiaohu came with Lei Luo.

Seeing Zhou Qing racking his brains and thinking hard about the black puppet, he couldn't help but speak up to persuade him.

Lei Luo also nodded and echoed, "Junior Brother Zhou, I heard from the Sect Master that he had given these puppets to an old friend to look at. That person is a genuine second-level formation master, and even the governor of Longyuan County treats him as a distinguished guest."

"Even he hasn't figured out how to crack it, let alone us laymen!"

Zhou Qing was stunned. Is it so outrageous?
Yan Xiaohu squatted beside him, teasing the old hen, and said, "That's right, it's not just Senior Lei Wuji, it's the same here. Moreover, after research, we found that the magic arrays in all the puppets have subtle differences."

"According to my guess, there should be a mother body over there at Cang Yan Dao Palace. So if we want to get rid of those black-clothed puppets, we either have to forcefully kill them or directly eliminate the mother body to solve the problem once and for all."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but frown.

Is this the reason why those strongholds need to be brought back to the Cang Yan Dao Palace after the initial inlay is completed?

If that's the case, how can we play?
They couldn't break into the Cang Yan Dao Palace, but the other party could produce more continuously. By then, no matter the number of people or the number of strong men, it would become a one-sided situation, and they would be in a very passive position.

As if noticing Zhou Qing's worry, Yan Xiaohu smiled and said, "Don't worry. I heard from Master that the materials needed to create the magic circle are very scarce and difficult to obtain. It's not that easy. Also, do you know the queen ant?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Qing was puzzled.

Yan Xiaohu said, "The queen ant is the king of the ant world. No matter how fertile it is, it will eventually reach saturation. Just like your third brother, my Nascent Soul Realm consciousness can only extend to the other side of the mountain and cannot go any further because my cultivation itself restrains me."

Zhou Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to understand.

"So, even if there really is a mother body, there is a certain number of black puppets it can produce. Once it reaches the saturation point, it will be stabilized!" Zhou Qing said.

Yan Xiaohu smiled and said, "That's right, that's what I mean. So you should focus on your training and don't waste your time on this. After all, there are still tall people to hold up the sky if it falls."

"Recently, Xiao Leizi and I have prepared a crazy plan, and we need manpower. You should get ready, and then we can set off together!"

Yan Xiaohu suddenly said excitedly, his eyes showing an eagerness to try.

Zhou Qing's face twitched involuntarily, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He asked tentatively, "Don't tell me you want to dig up the ancestral graves of the Tianji Sect?"

"No, no, no, those guys are shady and good at divination. Just forget about it and make good preparations. We're leaving first!"

After Yan Xiaohu finished speaking, he and Lei Luo left arm in arm.

Zhou Qing looked at the puppet in front of him with a frown.

“It’s really a bit tricky!”

……

In the following time, Zhou Qing simply stopped studying the puppets and instead used the materials he had exchanged. After many simulations and a lot of effort, he finally succeeded in refining eight formation flags.

This formation is called the Pagoda Formation. It is a uniform formation with considerable power. Just to activate it, it requires at least fifty high-grade spirit stones.

You know, one best-grade spirit stone can only be exchanged for one hundred high-grade spirit stones. Each time this formation is used up, half a best-grade spirit stone is consumed. It is enough to see how much money the formation master has to spend.

And this is just a single-color magic circle. The more terrifying second and third levels require energy eyes made directly from top-grade spirit stones, and even require the assistance of other extremely rare materials.

Looking at the eight black flags in front of him, Zhou Qing was excited, and then he went directly into the Shenxu Heavenly Palace, ready to test its power.

"There are no wandering souls this time?" Looking at the empty gravity area in front of him, Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly and simply walked forward step by step under the pressure.

In fact, even if there was, it didn't matter. In the past year or so, he had used the "Golden Crow Burning Sky Classic" and "Thunderstorm Star Killing" that he had mastered to defeat them many times.

Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief until he walked through the passage again and looked at the scene in front of him.

Then he jumped down, swam across the blood river quickly, and immediately set up a pagoda formation.

After doing all this, Zhou Qing did not push the coffin, nor did he climb the tree to gnaw the heart. Instead, he stared quietly at the darkness on the other side of the blood river.

Soon, the corpse wax crow walked out quietly, staring at him with a cold gaze, then jumped up and flew directly over, landing right in the formation in front.

In an instant, the ground flashed with spiritual light, and countless runes intertwined with each other, quickly outlining the outline of the pagoda formation.

The next moment, a ray of light shot up into the sky and formed a cage that enveloped it.

In the golden magic circle, there were bursts of Sanskrit sounds, and it seemed that countless Buddha shadows were looming in it, constantly attacking the corpse wax crows.

The corpse wax crow struggled frantically, its black feathers standing up and flashing with a strange red light, knocking away all the golden light that was wrapped around it like tentacles.

This scene made Zhou Qing nervous and he stepped back repeatedly.

It probably only lasted less than ten breaths before the corpse wax crow tore a hole in the pagoda formation and stepped out intact.

Then he continued to stare at Zhou Qing coldly.

Zhou Qing smiled awkwardly: "Um, Brother Ya, I was just joking with you——"

With a puff, before Zhou Qing could finish his words, the black feathers exploded on his head again.

Zhou Qing turned into a ball of light again and started cursing. We had known each other for such a long time, but he really had no mercy on him.

Of course, he didn't expect to be able to trap it. After all, the Supreme Elder and others, who were at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm, were injured every time they came in, let alone a small first-level magic circle.

And in that darkness, there were three corpse wax crows.

"Ten breaths of time, I don't know if it's enough, maybe there's a chance!" Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

Because every time he climbed halfway up the tree, he would be shot in the head by the corpse wax crow. Now he has bought himself ten breaths of time, so he might as well give it a try.

At this moment, he felt something and looked to the side, and saw blue ball number six suddenly appear.

"Number one, you're here again. It looks like your penalty area is about to be breached!" Basketball number six joked.

Over the past year, Zhou Qing has come here many times because of his two magical powers and the practice of formations.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It's still far away. I've been idle lately, so I made a few more trips."

The number six blue ball is a girl, and she knows about the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top, so Zhou Qing is a little more cautious and vigilant towards her.

"Then I wish you to pass the level as soon as possible. If you have the chance, come and take a look at my restricted area!" Blue ball number six said with a smile, his tone full of anticipation.

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Sure!"

Then, the two of them entered their respective pictures.

This time, Zhou Qing's luck was obviously not as good as before. A large number of wandering souls came immediately. Zhou Qing was too lazy to set up a formation and directly pushed them past with the "Golden Crow Burning Sky Classic".

He recovered in the rest area for a long time before he regained his strength. Then he came to the passage, jumped into the blood river skillfully, placed the three dead crows on his shoulders and forehead, and after jumping up, he immediately set up the pagoda formation.

After doing all this, he didn't delay any longer and climbed up the tree quickly, his eyes full of excitement.

"Faster, faster!"

The giant corpse wax crow leaped into the formation again, buying him ten breaths of time, allowing Zhou Qing to get closer to the giant black heart and a few green leaves at the top.

"There's a show!"

Just as he was about to touch the black iron chain hanging down from his heart, a familiar sound of breaking air was heard from behind him.

Zhou Qing was speechless as his eyes went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he was outside again.

"It's so fucking uncomfortable!" Zhou Qing couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

He had figured it out. Even if he tried again, it probably wouldn't work. Time was too tight. There might still be a glimmer of hope when he could set up the two-color formation.

After all, he had already tried his best. If he took a step back, even if he gnawed at the heart, picked the green leaves, and ate the "roujiamo", he would not have time to return.

In the end it's still the same.

After thinking it through, Zhou Qing entered for the third time. This time, he used his great Suanni magical power to push across and came back to the other side. After setting up the pagoda formation, he immediately came to the first coffin and began to push the coffin lid with all his strength.

As a heavy friction sound was heard, the coffin lid began to move little by little. Seeing the corpse wax crows coming out, Zhou Qing immediately took out the tetanus gun and pried it open.

The final result was obvious. Although there was a mark two centimeters larger than usual, it was impossible for him to open it completely with his current level of cultivation.

Zhou Qing, lying on the bed, felt a little tired. He wondered if there was a talisman that could increase his strength after sticking it on?
If you have time, you should go to the exchange hall.

The next day, Zhou Qing had a rare moment of free time, walking the hens around the yard, when a familiar figure came down the mountain.

That person was none other than Elder Jiang Pu, who was guarding the Soul Lighthouse.

His original image of "an unlucky guy who was extremely miserable after being too cautious" was changed to "a brave, resourceful, capable and somewhat powerful kid" because Zhou Qing had killed two geniuses in succession and was ranked tenth on the must-kill list.

Well, you have completely replaced the longest entry note for him by Senior Brother Li Daoxuan.

"Greetings, Elder Jiang!" Zhou Qing bowed.

Jiang Pu looked at Zhou Qing, nodded, and said seriously, "You are now on the must-kill list and you are often on missions. I think you should place a wisp of soul fire at the lighthouse. If you encounter any danger, you can be rescued in time."

Zhou Qing certainly knew that Elder Jiang Pu was concerned about him, but because of the simulation of the Shenxu Heavenly Palace, his soul lamp would keep flickering, which was difficult to explain.

I think he just came from Third Senior Brother's place.

Zhou Qing was about to say something when Elder Jiang Pu spoke first, "You should know about Pei Yan, right?"

Zhou Qing nodded.

Pei Yan, the chief of Yuqing Peak, is the eldest disciple of Master Tong Min.

The last time Senior Sister Shi Zhen broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, she followed her out on a mission to repay her debts.

When she brought Shi Zhen back from Youhuang City, she was the first one to rush down to check and kept expressing her gratitude to Zhou Qing.

"Half a year ago, her soul lamp began to dim, and I immediately informed the headmaster. Finally, after passing through layers of information, we found Pei Yan in the shortest time possible. If we had been delayed for another half a day, she would have been dead!"

"Since the Five Sects' War began, no leader has died. Tell me, is this soul lamp important?"

Elder Jiang Pu said earnestly.

Zhou Qing certainly understood, but——

"Thank you, Elder Jiang. I still like the feeling of having no way out, which allows me to better unleash my potential!" Zhou Qing saluted.

Elder Jiang Pu opened his mouth and finally shook his head helplessly.

You are all so stubborn, you will suffer someday!
As soon as Elder Jiang Pu left, Yan Xiaohu came stealthily from a distance.

"Are you staying?" Zhou Qing asked.

Yan Xiaohu shook his head: "I'm mainly going with you. The eldest brother and the second sister didn't stay. If I stayed and you didn't, I would seem a little different among the four of us. We have to be consistent!"

After hearing this, Zhou Qing was speechless.

This reminded him of the current must-kill list. After the eldest senior brother, the second senior sister and he were successively on the list, the third senior brother became a little obsessive-compulsive.

I've managed to climb to fifth place by digging graves, and now I feel a little better.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's pack up and get ready to leave tomorrow. Let's do something big!"

Soon, Yan Xiaohu seemed to have thought of something, his eyes were full of excitement, and he looked eager to try.

Zhou Qingze blinked and asked doubtfully, "From what you said, besides Lei Luo, there are other people?"

"You'll know when the time comes. I still need to do some shopping, so remember to leave early in the morning!"

Yan Xiaohu spoke mysteriously, deliberately keeping the audience in suspense. After he finished speaking, he flew up on his sword and headed towards the Shenyue Peak Exchange Hall.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to pack up first. No matter what his third senior brother wanted to do, the two of them could always take care of each other.

……

"Be careful!" Mo Xingjian did not stop them, but just reminded them to be careful.

The path of cultivation is like climbing a solitary peak. The help from others is like passing clouds. Only with a solid foundation of one's own can one stand firm in the storm of psychic energy.

Mo Xingjian is very open-minded about this point.

After the two of them saluted, they left.

"That place is quite far away, and there might be people watching us outside the sect. After all, we are both top ten celebrities on the list, so we should go to the Golden Thunder Sect first, call Lei Luo, and then take the teleportation array and depart directly from the Blue Feather Immortal Sect. This will save us half the distance!"

As they arrived in front of the teleportation array, Yan Xiaohu talked about their route this time.

Zhou Qing nodded, thinking that the plan was quite thoughtful.

When he came out of the Jinlei Sect's formation, Lei Luo had been waiting for a long time.

Besides him, there is also Lei Lie.

It has been nearly two years since we last met, and Lei Lie's aura seems to be even stronger. It seems that in a few years, he will enter the Spirit Transformation Realm.

He is worthy of being ranked third on the list.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Lei!" The two of them saluted.

Lei Lie looked at Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu and asked seriously, "Your senior brother's name is gone from the Cang Yan Dao Palace's must-kill list. Has he already taken that step?"

In response to Lei Lie's question, the two nodded.

Since the Cang Yan Dao Palace has been removed, it has already made the problem clear. What else do they have to hide?

Seeing the two of them admit it, Lei Lie was full of envy.

"Be careful!" After saying that, he left.

Lei Luo said excitedly: "Don't worry about him, let's go!"

Afterwards, the three of them adjusted their coordinates and headed straight for the Qingyu Immortal Sect.

"Junior Brother Zhou, long time no see!" When the three of them came out of the teleportation array and were led by a special person to the mountain gate, they unexpectedly met Yuan Ya on the way.

At this moment, a hideous scar appeared on Yuan Ya's face at some point, running diagonally across the side of her cheek, which looked shocking.

But she didn't seem to care at all. She still had a smile on her face and greeted Zhou Qing warmly. Her smile revealed the open-mindedness and calmness of someone who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

I still remember that the last time we met, it was Zhou Qing who helped kill the Yuanying realm man from Tianji Sect.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu were tactful and didn't ask any more questions.

It can be seen that everyone has experienced many unknown things in this war, more or less.

"Senior Sister Yuan Ya!" Several people saluted.

Yuan Ya looked at the direction of the teleportation array, and probably understood something. She smiled and said, "I won't bother you anymore. Let's have a drink together when there's a chance!"

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy, senior sister!" The three of them said this and left.

After leaving the mountain gate, Yan Xiaohu sighed deeply with a look of regret on his face.

"A few years ago, when the Qingyu Immortal Sect fell, we brothers worked together to rescue Senior Sister Yuan Ya and killed that pervert Meng Xing. At that time, her master blew himself up in order to let her escape. Now she is left alone..."

Yan Xiaohu hesitated to speak.

She used to be a little shy when she met her savior, Lao Si, but now, she began to intentionally distance herself from him because of her appearance.

Zhou Qing didn't say anything, but let out a light breath, changed the subject and asked, "Third Brother, can you tell us now what we are going to do?"

Yan Xiaohu also put away his previous emotion, and then became mysterious again, lowering his voice and saying: "Kill the blood bones!"

"Blood-bone old ghost?" Zhou Qing was stunned.

Yan Xiaohu nodded repeatedly, angrily saying, "That's right, it's that old ghost. Last time he came here as some lousy messenger. He was so arrogant, it made me angry. But this time, I have a new clue, and I will definitely be able to kill him!"

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Besides the three of us, who else is there?"

Yan Xiaohu said, "Senior Sister Pei Yan and Senior Sister Shi Zhen, by the way, they were the ones who found the person."

Xue Gu is at the Nascent Soul stage, but so is Senior Sister Pei Yan. Together with the others, there are five people at the Nascent Soul stage in total. I don’t believe that we can’t defeat this old ghost.

It can even be said that the combination of Lao Si and Pei Yan alone is enough to crush them.

Zhou Qing's eyes also lit up.

At that time, Senior Sister Shi Zhen was captured by the Blood and Bone Old Ghost. If he and his third senior brother had not sneaked into the cave and accidentally encountered and rescued her, Senior Sister Shi Zhen would have been raped to death by Song Yuan.

As Shi Zhen's senior sister, Pei Yan seemed to have kept this grudge in her heart.
