The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 162: Third Mother, Is It Really You? (6k)

I heard that Lu Yaoyao has been in seclusion recently, trying to break through the shackles of the Nascent Soul Realm.

After all, she was at the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage, and had followed Zhou Qing several times before and after. Now, she was only one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage.

If you can get over it, then when you go on missions in the future, you will at least have a certain ability to protect yourself and will not be a burden to others.

……

"I heard that Senior Brother Du has stabilized a bit recently. Why don't we go see him together?"

That morning, Yan Xiaohu came to Zhou Qing with the image stone of Sima Yaoji's execution in his hand.

Zhou Qing fed the old hen some spirit stone powder and agreed.

The matter of Sima Yaoji has come to an end.

Moreover, the last time he brought back Senior Sister Luo Xue's body, he buried it in the sea of ​​flowers on the back mountain, and they had not yet gone to pay their respects.

"I've met my uncle!"

Not long after the two of them went up the mountain, they met Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze resting on Zhou Qing, his eyes full of admiration.

"The remaining two of the five geniuses of Cang Yan Dao Palace have already begun to comprehend a certain state of mind. Their combat power is far beyond the reach of ordinary Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivators. You must be careful!" Gao Xuan reminded.

Zhou Qing nodded.

Li Hanshan and Yu Ziqi, these two people are already clamoring to cut him into pieces!
After saying goodbye to Gao Xuan, they came to the back mountain and soon saw Du Kui, who was leaning against Luo Xue's tombstone and was drunk.

Seeing this, the two couldn't help feeling sad and uncomfortable.

Then they gently placed the fruits they brought in front of the tombstone and burned incense and paid their respects.

Hearing the noise, Du Kui slowly opened his eyes and staggered to his feet. Yan Xiaohu quickly supported him and said, "Brother Du, Sima Yaoji is completely dead. We have avenged Sister Luo!"

Yan Xiaohu solemnly took out the imaging stone and handed it to him.

I heard that Sima Yaoji's body had been chopped into meat paste by Senior Brother Du Kui as a way to vent his anger.

After hearing this, Du Kui was stunned for a moment, and seemed to become much more sober. He quickly took the imaging stone and started to look at it.

"She's dead, she's really dead!" Du Kui was so excited that he burst into tears. He then hugged Luo Xue's tombstone tightly and shouted, "Xue'er, did you see that? That bitch couldn't escape in the end. She's dead!"

Zhou Qing's expression was complicated. He stepped forward and said, "Brother Du, please accept my condolences. Now that you have avenged your great hatred, you must also pick yourself up again. If Sister Luo were still alive, she wouldn't want to see you like this."

Du Kui wiped his cloudy eyes and looked at Zhou Qing with gratitude.

"Junior Brother Zhou, thank you, thank you so much. I, I am a useless person..." Du Kui's lips trembled and his eyes were red. He really didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at the moment.

Zhou Qing forced a smile to comfort him.

Yan Xiaohu stepped forward and said comfortingly, "Brother Du, the dead are gone. You are the chief of Jinyang Peak. Many people are watching you and waiting for you. Uncle Gao is also worried about you."

After hearing this, Du Kui slowly turned around and looked at the tombstones of Luo Xue and Tan Qiang in silence for a long time.

Until the next moment, his eyes gradually lit up, and his clothes moved without wind. In an instant, he seemed to have figured something out, and an aura as sharp as a blade unsheathed pierced the sky.

"Yeah, I can't go on being so decadent!" he muttered to himself in a low voice.

When the two saw this, their faces lit up with joy.

…………

Three days later, Du Kui appeared at Xiaoling Peak in neat clothes. He looked very energetic after shaving his beard.

After expressing his gratitude to the two again, he stepped out of the mountain gate again after two years to look for the lost self.

Zhou Qing took advantage of this free time to study the formation again.

When besieging Sima Yaoji, the Pagoda Formation helped him a lot. He wanted to refine the formation flag of the last "Thunder Flame Soul-Devouring Formation" so that he could respond quickly if he encountered danger.

However, I didn’t expect that today, Taiqingmen welcomed a distinguished guest.

No, to be precise, he is an extremely arrogant man. Of course, he has the capital to be arrogant. Although he looks young, his whole body is full of artistic conception and charm.

Ke Shu, the son of the Lord of Haomiao Mansion, has reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. Beside him are two terrifying masters in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Haomiao Mansion? They want us to come over for questioning?" Zhou Qing was full of doubts when he heard the news.

If he thought about it carefully, Haomiao Mansion was one of the three pieces of information that his master revealed to him last time, one of which was that there had been a civil war in the Western Region for a year and it was forcefully suppressed by the Hunyuan Sect.

In less than half a year, the two southwestern regions went to war, millions of people were deployed to the battlefield, and sixteen gods had died so far.

This is also one of the reasons why no one in the East Region of Lingyun Mansion has reached the Spirit Transformation Realm so far, and the war between the five sects ended early.

A lesson from the past!
No, Haomiao Mansion is not very far from our Lingyun Mansion. What is the other party doing here?
"I'm not very clear either. They said they wanted to ask a question. Besides you and me, there are also Niu Guangmo and others!" Yan Xiaohu scratched his head.

Then they headed straight for Shenyue Peak.

When we arrived at the welcoming hall, we found that in addition to the head teacher, our master was also there.

On the side, the man named Ke Shu was sitting with his legs crossed, drinking tea leisurely.

He looks similar to the eldest brother.

The two people in the Spirit Transformation Realm standing behind him suddenly looked at them. Their eyes were sharp and accompanied by a sense of pressure from the Spirit Transformation Realm, which made them feel depressed.

Seeing this, Cao Zhengyang couldn't help but frown. He raised his finger slightly, and the heavy pressure dissipated in an instant.

Several people then came over and saluted the headmaster.

Cao Zhengyang said with a smile, "This is the only son of the Lord of Haomiao Mansion—Ke Shu. He came here to ask you something."

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu were already unhappy with the other party's show of force just now.

This is the first time we meet each other, and we don’t owe you anything, so what’s so great about it?

Xiao Cancan is the only daughter of the Lord of Lingyun Mansion, yet she calls them "big brother" with great enthusiasm.

At this moment, Ke Shu put down his teacup and looked proudly at the ten people in the hall, including Niu Guangmo.

Then suddenly he smiled.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. This is what I'm talking about. I came here just to ask you one thing: Have you been to Qingmu City five years ago?" Ke Shu asked.

Hearing this, Zhou Qing's heart couldn't help but move.

Yan Xiaohu, as his senior brother, looked directly at him and said, "I've been there, what's wrong?"

Qingmu City has a spiritual cooperation with Taiqingmen. Last time, they were sent to deal with the incident of Blood Tai Sui.

At that time, the master pretended to be Niu Guangmo and protected him secretly all the way.

Seeing Yan Xiaohu's admission, Ke Shu's eyes lit up, and he said expectantly, "I have also asked the Lord of Qingmu City about what happened there, and I know something about it, especially that ghost town. There are still traces of your battle there."

Yan Xiaohu asked: "So?"

Ke Shu immediately took out a portrait and asked expectantly, "Have you seen this thing in the ghost town?"

After Ke Shu finished speaking, everyone, including the two in the Spirit Transformation Realm, immediately stared at the few people with burning eyes, trying to see something.

When everyone stretched their necks to look, they were shocked to see that what was drawn on it was actually something that looked like a red token.

"What the hell is this?" Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Zhou Qing, who had already vaguely guessed this situation, did not show any abnormality.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Ke Shu suddenly felt disappointed, and then immediately turned to look at the two bodyguards behind him.

The two looked at their young master and shook their heads slightly.

I couldn't catch anything from their facial expressions and eyes. If I wanted to know more specifically, I could only search their souls.

But it is obvious that they dare not and cannot do it.

Even if the lord of the mansion or someone from the imperial capital comes, they have no rights.

As the core of the fourth-level cultivation, the Shengwu Dynasty is, on the other hand, just a larger "sect".

"Master Ke, may I ask what this is? Is it something from your Haomiao Mansion that was lost there?"

Cao Zhengyang above couldn't help but ask.

Ke Shu was happy, but now he said with an unhappy look: "I guess so."

In fact, this was information he had obtained from an ancient manuscript, a note of reluctance written by a predecessor before his death.

That token was related to something from a long-lost seventh-level cultivation country, and its value was inestimable.

"I knew it!" Ke Shu sighed helplessly.

Not to mention that the letter was there a long time ago. At that time, the senior failed to find the man, so he slaughtered the entire city to vent his anger.

Maybe the person who got the token at that time had already escaped. Even if he really died there, I heard that over the years, countless people have gone in and out to explore.

He and the protector had gone in to investigate some time ago but found nothing. This time he came here just to try his luck.

Mo Xingjian waved to everyone, and Yan Xiaohu and others saluted and then left.

As Zhou Qing walked out of the hall, his suppressed heart suddenly began to beat rapidly.

How did the other party know about the Shenxu Tiangong token?
Could it be that the person who took action back then was a senior from Haomiao Mansion?

That's impossible. Judging from the dead body at that time, the other party was most likely a big shot in the Soul-Severing Realm, or even stronger.

Not to mention a lord of a mansion, even a county governor doesn't have such ability.

"Maybe it was a coincidence and the other party got some clues!" Zhou Qing said secretly in his heart.

Fortunately, that space was somewhat unusual, and I cleared all traces of myself before leaving, so they shouldn't suspect me.

"There must be something wrong with this kind of person!" Yan Xiaohu cursed as soon as he came out.

Zhou Qing smiled slightly and said, "Let's go. It has nothing to do with us anyway."

Niu Guangmo came forward and said, "That token looks a bit extraordinary. Maybe it's the key to a treasure house. Otherwise, we should go look for it again. Maybe we can make a fortune."

"You big-headed ghost, be careful or the people from Cang Yan Taoist Palace and Tian Ji Sect will kill you first. Stay in the mountains for the time being!" Yan Xiaohu warned.

The eight of them suddenly laughed and said in unison, "Yes, Boss!"

The son of the lord of Haomiao Mansion left Taiqing Gate after staying there for less than a day.

Zhou Qing just treated it as a small episode and continued to study the formation.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yaoyao came in the afternoon.

"What's wrong? You look unhappy!" Zhou Qing joked with a smile.

Lu Yaoyao asked curiously, "Senior Brother Zhou, how did you break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Have you hit a bottleneck?" Zhou Qing looked at her and seemed to understand a little. Lu Yaoyao nodded and then asked, "Actually, I'm a little confused. The future path of human foundation building is limited to the Nascent Soul stage. Even if there is another opportunity in the future, it won't last long because the foundation is there."

"It's like building a house. If the foundation is shallow, no matter how much better materials you give it, you won't be able to build eight or nine floors. It will collapse."

Zhou Qing looked at her, his mind slightly moved, and asked: "What do you want to say?"

Lu Yaoyao suddenly chuckled, then looked around and said in a low voice, "I had a dream. I dreamed that you displayed your divine power and even suppressed the Demon King with a snap of your fingers."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead, wondering, "Did you develop a fever from the recent lockdown?"

"Don't change the subject. That dream was very real. So, when did you break through to the Nascent Soul stage? Are you really at the Humane Foundation Establishment stage?"

Lu Yaoyao asked seriously.

Recently, she tried to retreat to touch the threshold of the Nascent Soul Realm. She felt that she was very close, but she also felt that she was unable to do so.

She knew that she was still lacking an opportunity to take that step.

Moreover, she also built her foundation with the Qi of Heaven, which is enough to show how difficult it is to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

After calming down and reflecting on recent events, she finally figured out some things that she had overlooked.

From having his golden elixir crushed to silently breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, and now killing the three geniuses of the Cang Yan Dao Palace, it feels so easy.

This is simply not something that can be achieved through human foundation building.

Coupled with some of the things she knew, it made her even more suspicious.

Finally, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he quickly came out and ran over.

Facing Lu Yaoyao's question at this moment, Zhou Qing smiled.

"I am a genuine human foundation-building cultivator. As for the breakthrough, everyone knows it. I followed my master and accidentally broke into an ancient ruins, and ate a magic pill. It was just luck!" Zhou Qing said.

Lu Yaoyao shook her head: "The Demon King is at the Soul Severing Realm. Do you think a person at the Humanity Foundation Establishment stage can suppress him at will in the future?"

Zhou Qing shook his head: "Of course not, but you are dreaming."

Lu Yaoyao was anxious and opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Looking at Lu Yaoyao's appearance, Zhou Qing had a smile on his face, but he had to admit that this girl had reminded him of something.

Most people who have built their foundation in the human world can only barely cultivate to the Golden Core Realm. Some who are lucky can go one step further with the help of the Infant Forming Pill, but this is the end.

Just like the third senior brother Yan Xiaohu, he built his foundation with the earth veins and took the Infant-forming Pill to condense the fourteenth-ranked Violent Nascent Soul among the Earth-level ones.

The Nascent Soul enhancement function is to raise your cultivation by one small realm in a short period of time when fighting against an enemy, without any side effects.

Because the Nascent Soul has awakened the infant pattern, there is even a 30% chance of touching the Spirit Transformation Realm in the future.

He has built his foundation on his own, and the combat power he has demonstrated in recent years is indeed somewhat difficult to explain and makes people suspicious.

You must pay more attention to this in the future.

After thinking it through, Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It's all about chance, just like last time in Lingku Mountain, who would have thought that there would be natural lightning liquid and Suan Ni in there..."

When Zhou Qinggang said this, his face suddenly changed, and then he immediately walked out of the courtyard.

I saw a woman standing quietly on a tall tree outside the yard.

She has a graceful figure, with flowing clothes, and exudes an aloof and cold aura that keeps people at a distance.

Her silver hair fell like frost and snow, gleaming with a cool luster in the dusk. A few strands of hair fluttered in the wind, adding a touch of ethereality.

Her face was covered with a veil, making it difficult to see clearly. The only exposed eyes were like a clear ice-blue pool, so deep that no one could see the bottom.

At this moment, there were ice crystals everywhere under her feet, even spreading rapidly with her toes as the center.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire tree was covered with ice crystals, and the two even shivered involuntarily.

Who is this woman?

How did you get in?
Why didn't the entire Taiqing Sect have any warning at all?

Zhou Qingze pulled Lu Yaoyao behind him without leaving any trace, frowning slightly.

"Have you ever been here?" The woman glanced at the two of them indifferently, and her red lips parted slightly. Her voice seemed to come from the Netherworld Abyss, icy and piercing.

There was even a picture that emerged directly from the air.

That place is none other than a ghost town.

"Senior Brother Zhou, look at her hair—" Lu Yaoyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she spoke quietly with excitement on her face.

Zhou Qing was speechless. It was already such a late hour and he was still talking about his hair.

The aura the other party gave him was restrained and terrifying. He might be the legendary powerful being in the Soul-Slaying Realm. It was still uncertain whether we could survive.

He had no choice but to step forward and salute, saying, "Greetings, Fairy. We have been here before."

The woman seemed to have heard Lu Yaoyao's words as well. She subconsciously looked at her hair and then said calmly, "Have you ever seen who took this thing away?"

Then, the image in the air changed into a red token again.

Zhou Qing's heart suddenly jumped. The woman couldn't help but narrow her eyes and stepped down step by step on the ice lotus.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing secretly cried out in disbelief and quickly said, "I haven't seen who took it, but someone came to us with a painting like this yesterday, so it seems familiar. Is this token a treasure?"

When the woman heard this, she immediately asked, "Who has been looking for you?"

Zhou Qing then told them about Ke Shu and the others.

"Interesting!" The woman turned around, lightly pointed at the space in front of her, stepped in, and disappeared.

Zhou Qing frowned.

Lu Yaoyao looked very excited. She immediately took out a mirror and compared her eyebrows and eyes.

The more I look at him, the more he looks like her, especially his silver hair, which is exactly like hers.

"Could it be her?"

Lu Yaoyao asked excitedly, "Brother Zhou, who is she? I think I can totally accept it."

"How would I know who she is? Besides, why can you accept it so well?" Zhou Qing looked at Lu Yaoyao suspiciously.

Girl, is there something wrong with your sexual orientation again?

But even as he said this, Zhou Qing suddenly had a strong feeling that this woman was the blue ball number six in the Shenxu Heavenly Palace.

Unlike Ke Shu, she did not ask whether he had seen this thing, but asked directly who took the token.

In other words, she knew that the red token number one already had an owner, but she didn't know who it was.

Moreover, number six is ​​a woman, and she knows about the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head. She is either from the Shengwu Dynasty or other fourth-level cultivation countries in the surrounding areas.

"It's really her!" Zhou Qing couldn't help swallowing.

He never thought that one day he would be visited directly by members of Shenxu Tiangong.

And he still looks so cool.

But in the Shenxu Heavenly Palace, the other party talked a lot and took the initiative to introduce the relevant situation to him.

He seems to be cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

But why did she come to Taiqingmen to ask?

Like Ke Shu, he also found out after asking around that the last battle in Ghost Town was between them and the evil spirit and Blood Tai Sui?

"I have to be more careful next time!" Zhou Qing looked worried.

The combat power and cultivation of the human foundation, the four flowers gathering at the top of the head, and the number one identity in the Shenxu Heavenly Palace.

If any one of them is exposed, he will die without a burial place.

"You two are staying outside to watch the sunset? It's so cold! Oh my god, when did you learn ice-based skills? This tree is my personal toilet!"

At this moment, Yan Xiaohu flew down and looked at the big ice crystal tree in front of him.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes, then snapped his fingers, a ball of fire came out, and began to thaw around little by little.

Yan Xiaohu looked at Lu Yaoyao, who looked excited, and felt suspicious.

"I came here to tell you that Senior Sister Pei Yan has now fully recovered. We'll treat you to a meal at the Jade Kitchen tonight!" Yan Xiaohu said quickly.

How could Zhou Qing be in the mood to eat now?

But Yan Xiaohu said that Uncle Master Tong Min, Uncle Master Gao Xuan, and even his master were going, so he had no choice but to go.

"Let's go together!" Zhou Qing looked at Lu Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao shook her head and said, "No, I have other things to do. You guys eat."

After saying this, he left in a hurry.

"What is she doing?" Yan Xiaohu looked at Lu Yaoyao's back in confusion.

Zhou Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I'm dreaming. I'm saying I'm tearing the Demon King apart with my bare hands. I seriously doubt that I'm not a humane foundation-building person."

"Is this possible? Women's sixth sense is really scary. You have to keep a low profile in the future, or else announce to the public that you are actually building your foundation through earth veins?" Yan Xiaohu suggested.

Zhou Qing was silent. Perhaps this was the only way. No one had checked on him when he was building his foundation.

…………

After returning to Shenyue Peak, Lu Yaoyao subconsciously glanced at the hidden tunnel near the toilet, then hurried into the courtyard and took out a manual.

Turning to the first page, there were four words written on it: "Xuanyou Fairy" and a portrait.

The six big words "Silver hair under black hair" were specially marked with arrows, and "Auntie" was written in a beautiful font next to it.

Turning to the second page, there is the name and portrait of the Ninth Princess Xuanyuan Muqian.

The original words "orange hair" were erased and replaced with "black with silver".

It is also noted that the Ninth Princess's mother has silver hair and is not human, and is suspected to have inherited the gene from her grandmother.

The words "Second Mother" are written below.

This is a handbook carefully prepared by Lu Yaoyao for all women who have come into contact with Zhou Qing and who meet certain characteristics of their own.

Although Lu Yaoyao only met the mysterious woman who suddenly appeared this evening once, she always felt very close to her.

Maybe I'll have more opportunities to interact with my dad in the future.

She had to draw it quickly while she still remembered, after all, who could say for sure.

After finishing the painting, he wrote the words "Sanma" with excitement.
