The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 167 Brother Zhou, do you see it looking up at something? (6k)

After hearing this, the two of them nodded in response.

"Yes, considering her current situation, it will only be within the next two years before her artistic conception bursts forth. In that case, I must prepare a good gift for her!"

Bai He muttered to himself, unable to hide his excitement.

"Third brother-in-law, little brother-in-law, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'll leave first!" After Bai He said this, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu couldn't help but look at each other.

It's really like coming and going in a hurry.

However, they had a vague feeling in their hearts that they would probably meet again soon before the second senior sister came out of seclusion.

…………

Zhou Qing, who returned to the mountain, did not follow his third senior brother to the Jinlei Sect. Instead, he calmed down and began to study the "Emperor Glory Sutra" carefully.

The "Emperor Huang Sutra" is a natural magical power created by the third ancestor of the Golden-winged Roc - Emperor Huang. It is divided into two parts.

One of them is the true body of the Golden Peng: practitioners can stimulate the golden-winged Peng bloodline hidden in their bodies and instantly transform into a huge golden peng. At that time, they will have extremely powerful strength and amazing speed, and their strength will be greatly enhanced.

The second is the majesty of an emperor: when one’s cultivation reaches the great success stage, the practitioner will naturally emanate an imperial-like majestic aura.

This majesty not only has a powerful influence on humans, but also can cause great psychological deterrence to monsters.

It will cause them to involuntarily produce negative emotions such as fear and awe, which will seriously affect their will and normal performance of strength in battle.

But this is, after all, a technique inherited from the bloodline of monsters. If humans want to practice it, they at least need a key medicine.

"At least one drop of golden-winged Roc's blood!" Zhou Qing couldn't help but frown after seeing the subsequent related introduction.

Now the treasure is right in front of us, but if you want to open it, you must find the corresponding key.

When I was practicing the two magical powers of the Golden Crow clan and the Suanni clan, I used those two drops of essence and blood to cultivate them.

When the corpse spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness tried to take over his body, it was just a remnant soul that escaped in a hurry, not his essence or blood.

Zhou Qing clearly remembered that the old emperor had killed the opponent with just a flick of his finger. At that time, only foul-smelling black blood and feathers fell from the sky, but no blood essence.

"This is just to whet my appetite!" After learning about it, Zhou Qing's face was full of helplessness and depression.

You know, if you can cultivate the true body of the Golden Roc and transform into a Golden Roc covered in golden light, that scene will make people feel excited just thinking about it.

If you could display the power of an emperor and make all the beasts submit to you, how majestic and exciting that would be.

But the key question is, where can I find the blood essence of the Golden-winged Roc now?

This thing is different from ordinary blood. It is the essence of the whole body.

If an ordinary person loses even a drop, it is likely to cause serious damage to his vitality, and he will need a long period of recuperation to slowly recover.

The more Zhou Qing looked at it, the more he felt itchy. After all, all the other magical powers he now possessed had basically been cultivated to the stage of great success.

If I could successfully cultivate this magical power, even if I faced a master in the Spirit Transformation Realm in the future, apart from anything else, the opponent might not be able to catch up with me in terms of escape.

"I wonder if there is anything else in the abyss?" Zhou Qing stood up immediately, but soon felt that this was not realistic.

After all, there were so many people there at that time, even the masters of the Soul-Severing Realm had searched the abyss carefully, so what could be left for him?

But seeing such a powerful magical power right in front of him, but unable to practice it, how could he be willing to accept it?
"Call Lu Yaoyao along!" Zhou Qing thought about it and finally decided that it would be better to go to the abyss.

After all, the last time he was at Lingku Mountain, bringing this girl with him brought him good luck.

Not long after, Lu Yaoyao came running over happily, especially after hearing that they were going to Canglan Mountain, she was extremely excited.

"Senior Brother Zhou, are you deliberately trying to make up for the regret in my heart?" Lu Yaoyao asked expectantly.

Zhou Qing said helplessly: "You think too much, I just went there to find something."

Afterwards, the two of them packed up briefly and set foot on the teleportation array together, first arriving at the Jinlei Sect.

Zhou Qing contacted his third senior brother and learned that he and Lei Luo were at Lei Chi, and he didn't know what they were busy with.

"I won't go. You and Junior Sister Lu, please be careful!"

Yan Xiaohu sent a message. After Zhou Qing saw it, he didn't say anything more. He and Lu Yaoyao left the Jinlei Sect and headed towards Canglan Mountain.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao disguised themselves before setting off.

In this way, no matter which of the five sects they encounter, the other party will not act rashly.

…………

Compared to the last time when Master Mo Xingjian took them to Canglan Mountain in just three days, this time it took them a full seven days to come by themselves.

Looking at the vast forest in front of her, Lu Yaoyao was amazed.

"Master said before that when I've cultivated enough, I can participate in the Five Sects Trial. I didn't expect the world to change so quickly. The war broke out as soon as it was announced. Now I can't even participate in the Trial."

Lu Yaoyao's face was full of regret.

It is said that the Five Sects Trial, which is held only once every sixty years, has very generous rewards, with the five sects using their own treasures as rewards.

Senior brother Li Daoxuan has won the first place twice.

"Control your breath and be careful!" Zhou Qing warned seriously.

Then, the two of them carefully moved slowly towards the direction of the abyss.

shhhhhh!
At this moment, from time to time, there were sharp sounds of breaking through the air. Lu Yaoyao looked up and then whispered in a low voice, "It doesn't look like they are from the Five Sects. It seems that they are cultivators from those smaller sects."

Zhou Qing nodded.

After all, this place is not anyone's private territory. People from all sects can come here to try their luck and explore opportunities.

There was news that several masters of the Soul-Severing Realm had snatched treasures here before, and that news could definitely not be blocked, so now everyone wants to come here and take advantage of the opportunity.

"I didn't expect that more than 20 days have passed since the incident, but more and more people are coming here!" Zhou Qing sighed.

Moreover, there were many Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators among those whizzing through the air.

"It seems like it was a good idea to bring Lu Yaoyao here this time. Maybe I can take this opportunity to brush up on the ignore points!" Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

In this way, the two of them slowly approached the abyss.

Soon, they saw a huge dark abyss appearing in the forest, and many figures were sinking into it one after another.

However, there are also some hiding around the abyss, lying in wait quietly, apparently intending to reap the benefits.

The next moment, several spiritual senses came towards the two of them to investigate.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing snorted coldly, and then suddenly released his powerful spiritual sense, which made those people hiding in the dark groan in unison, and scared them so much that they immediately retracted their spiritual sense.

Then, the two of them plunged into the abyss without hesitation.

As soon as they entered the abyss, they felt a thick and indissoluble aura of death rushing towards them, like an icy tide, instantly enveloping them.

Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but shiver, but as her spiritual power surged, she quickly returned to normal.

As the two continued to dive into the abyss, the deathly aura became increasingly cold and biting, causing a feeling of depression to well up in people's hearts.

Zhou Qing really didn't expect that the burial place of the old Peng King would be so lifeless.

He waved his right hand lightly, and a layer of golden crow flame condensed from spiritual power enveloped Lu Yaoyao, making the coldness on her face fade a lot.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou!" Lu Yaoyao smiled happily.

The two continued to go deeper, and soon they looked down at a huge sunken area from a high altitude.

Its shape accurately outlines the body of the Garuda, and the traces of the huge wings spread out are clearly visible.

It is obvious that this is the place where the golden-winged Roc lies dead.

This scene made Zhou Qing feel a little dazed. He remembered that when he and the second uncle entered the third coffin last time, he saw the skeleton of a huge crow.

"This golden-winged Roc is really big, it's worthy of being a demon king!" Lu Yaoyao sighed again, her eyes full of amazement.

As the two landed, they saw many figures moving around, nervously searching for something.

Judging from the clothes they were wearing, they should belong to different sects and forces, and their eyes were full of vigilance and alertness.

Zhou Qing first looked around carefully, and his brows couldn't help but frowned slightly.

This place looks empty, not even a floor tile can be seen. It is just as the Supreme Elder said, this is not the place where the old Peng King was passed down, but merely the place where his bones were buried after he was killed by a powerful person.

"Follow closely!" Zhou Qing turned his head and reminded Lu Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao nodded hurriedly and followed Zhou Qing closely, not leaving his side for a moment.

After all, the people coming and going around all had extremely unfriendly looks in their eyes.

In this way, the two of them walked and stopped in this abyss, constantly using various methods to explore and search along the way.

But after working for a long time, nothing valuable was found. It seemed as if this place was just an ordinary abyss.

"No—" Soon, Zhou Qing seemed to suddenly think of something key, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Recalling the beginning, there was a powerful barrier restriction above this abyss, and it was so powerful that it directly blocked the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Soul Severing Realm from entering.

Even the silver-haired woman, who had reached the Soul Severing Realm, only briefly touched the barrier before quickly retreating, not daring to take the risk. Later, the Golden-Winged Roc absorbed the blood of several other demons, awakening and breaking free.

And since then, that barrier has disappeared inexplicably.

Judging from this series of circumstances, there are two very suspicious points.

Firstly, if the old King Peng was killed easily and efficiently back then, how could he have had the time to set up such a barrier and restriction?
You know, such a huge body is exposed in the open air. Not to mention the people passing by, even those monsters with a slightly more sensitive sense of smell can probably find it easily.

How could the corpse be preserved so intact until today and even give rise to a new spirit?
Secondly, when the Golden-winged Roc in the corpse spirit state was fighting against several masters in the Soul-Slaying Realm, there was not a single wound on his body. His whole body was shining with golden light, and he became more and more courageous as he faced more setbacks.

Could it be that the old King Peng’s soul was instantly destroyed by someone back then?
But if that's the case, then it contradicts the first conjecture.

"Judging from the arrangements made at the time, this old Peng King was at least a formation master. He even recuperated here for a period of time, and his injuries did improve. However, in the end, it turned out that the treatment was only temporary, not fundamental, and he ultimately perished here!"

Zhou Qing looked around and made some guesses.

A powerful person who has reached the great perfection of the Soul-Slaying Realm can already transform into a human form. Knowing that he cannot survive, he can at least find a smaller place, such as a cave, to avoid his body being divided up by others after death.

Or maybe he hopes that someone will inherit his legacy, or at least keep the truth of what happened, hoping that someone will avenge him.

How could it be possible to transform directly into its original form and just lie here casually without caring about anything?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing suddenly turned around and looked at the depression formed by the lying corpse of the golden-winged Roc not far away. He saw many people digging and working in it, very busy.

"Let's go up and take a look first!" Zhou Qing made a prompt decision and flew straight towards the sky above the abyss with Lu Yaoyao.

As he slowly rose to the halfway point, Zhou Qing looked at the stone wall in front of him and reached out to touch it gently.

Not long after, he dug out a piece of material from the stone wall whose energy was almost exhausted, and some magic circle patterns could still be vaguely seen engraved on it.

"It seems that my guess was correct. This old Peng King is indeed a formation master!"

When Zhou Qing saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up and his heart was filled with surprise.

After all, he now has a certain degree of understanding of things like formations and barriers.

"Senior Brother Zhou, look!" Soon, Lu Yaoyao quietly pulled the corner of Zhou Qing's clothes and pointed her finger downwards.

Zhou Qing was puzzled, but after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see anything special.

Lu Yaoyao whispered, "I always feel like the golden-winged roc looks like it's looking up at something."

After Lu Yaoyao's reminder, Zhou Qing looked carefully again, and was suddenly shocked. It seemed that this was really the case!
Afterwards, the two of them slowly descended again, looking forward along the outline, but what came into view was still just an ordinary stone wall.

There were even several monks who spent a long time observing and exploring there, but in the end they just shook their heads and left with disappointment on their faces.

It seemed that other people had noticed this as well. Zhou Qing stepped forward and was about to use his spiritual sense to investigate. Suddenly, the tens of thousands of ancient characters displayed in the "Emperor Brilliant Sutra" in his spiritual sense trembled at this moment.

At the same time, he also clearly felt a strong sense of desire coming from the ancient characters.

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up instantly and his heart began to beat uncontrollably.

There is something here!

But the strange thing was that no matter whether he used his spiritual power to perceive or released his spiritual consciousness to explore, all that appeared before his eyes was still the thick layer of soil.

Other than that, there is nothing.

This scene is similar to the situation at Skull Mountain. It requires the help of a full moon night and the power of thunder and lightning to open the real treasure place.

The key here should be the "Emperor Glory Sutra" or other special means.

For a moment, Zhou Qing felt at ease.

"How is it?" Lu Yaoyao came over and asked quietly.

Zhou Qing forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart and tried to make his expression look normal.

After all, the eyes of these people around are all flickering, and they are constantly observing others in secret. Once someone gains something, they will attack him together.

"People from Cang Yan Taoist Palace and Tian Ji Sect are here!" Zhou Qing did not directly answer Lu Yaoyao's question, but looked across and whispered to her.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao's expression changed slightly.

On the opposite side, more than thirty disciples from Cang Yan Dao Palace and Tian Ji Sect were slowly descending, and they were led by two old men who were emitting the fluctuations of the Spirit Transformation Realm. It was obvious that they came prepared.

When the other people around saw people from the five major sects appear, they did not dare to be careless and quickly moved aside vigilantly, for fear of getting into trouble.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao had already disguised themselves and were wearing masks, so they should not be discovered.

In addition to these two sects, people from the Golden Thunder Sect and the Green Feather Immortal Sect also appeared one after another.

They snorted coldly at each other, full of vigilance.

"Go over there!" Zhou Qing pointed to a corner not far away, and then went over.

While no one was paying attention, a mini Suanni suddenly flew out of his hand and then slammed into the ground, creating a deep pit in front of him.

In fact, there are countless huge pits dug under the entire abyss, and everyone is thinking about finding some good things underneath.

"Junior Sister Lu, please help me protect the Dharma!" Zhou Qing said.

Lu Yaoyao immediately nodded repeatedly, ensuring that no one could disturb him.

After saying that, she walked directly to the edge of the pit and sat down, staring at the people around her with vigilance.

She looked as if she would attack immediately if anyone dared to approach.

Zhou Qing then sat cross-legged at the bottom of the deep pit and began to sleep... no, to practice.

Nowadays, the multiplayer environment is tense and exciting, and there are quite a few Nascent Soul and Divine Spirit players. In addition, with Lu Yaoyao, who is familiar and has a low level of cultivation, it is simply the best place to brush the ignored points.

As for that stone wall, we can only wait until there is no one around and then slowly explore it. We can't escape anyway.

Time passed little by little, and less than an hour later, a familiar voice sounded in Zhou Qing's ears.

【Ignore point +3】

Zhou Qing's face lit up with joy, and then he slowly opened his eyes. Looking at Lu Yaoyao who was concentrating above the deep pit, his heart couldn't help but warm, and he smiled secretly.

Sometimes I really feel that this girl is my lucky star.

Now his innate skill [Reduce Presence] has been upgraded to LV4, and there is a 90% chance that the Jindan realm will ignore him.

"Why are you pretending to come here to practice?"

Suddenly, a voice full of disdain came from above. When Zhou Qing looked up, he saw a man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm lying on the cliff above, as if he was exploring something.

At this moment, the man lowered his head and saw Zhou Qing meditating at the bottom of the pit. He sneered and his face was full of mockery.

Zhou Qing immediately started cursing. He had to calculate the neglected time all over again. What bad luck!
At this moment, Lu Yaoyao came back to her senses and her face changed. She immediately took out her weapon angrily, looked up at the person above with a bad face, and was ready to fight if they disagreed.

But the man was too lazy to say anything more. He just snorted coldly and turned to walk to the other side.

"Brother Zhou, I'm sorry, I... I was distracted just now!" Lu Yaoyao apologized to Zhou Qing quickly with a guilty look on her face, her eyes slightly red.

At this moment, she only felt a sense of fear. She had clearly vowed before that she would protect Zhou Qing, but as time passed, she was careless for a moment and almost forgot that Senior Brother Zhou was practicing behind her.

If that person had launched a sneak attack, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The more she thought of this, the more she blamed herself.

Zhou Qing could only smile and comfort him: "It's okay, just pretend I don't exist and relax."

Lu Yaoyao bit her lips lightly, her face full of apology.

This time I must remember what I am doing and never forget it again.

Just like that, three hours passed without hearing the reminder tone again.

Zhou Qing slowly opened his eyes and saw Lu Yaoyao watching the movements around him vigilantly for a while, then turning her head to look at him. Her serious and responsible look made him feel a little amused.

This girl is so dedicated!

No wonder I can’t get any points.

"Stop looking at me!" Zhou Qing said helplessly.

Lu Yaoyao said seriously, "I'm just worried that you might encounter danger while practicing."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "First of all, I'm not practicing... Never mind, just think of it as me practicing. If you keep looking at me like this, others will think we've discovered something good, which will only attract others."

After hearing this, Lu Yaoyao frowned and thought about it carefully. It seemed to be true.

Seeing that Lu Yaoyao was once again vigilantly watching the movements around her, Zhou Qing simply dug the pit deeper. This time, Lu Yaoyao could not see him while sitting at the edge of the pit.

Just like that, as night slowly fell, the familiar prompt tone of the system finally rang again.

【Ignore point +4】

In the following month, this abyss was extremely lively. People kept coming here to seek opportunities, and then many people left disappointed.

Zhou Qing even saw several Yuanying realm monsters that could speak human words. They seemed to be trying their luck. Their huge eyes showed shrewdness, making people dare not underestimate them.

Zhou Qing's location would naturally be discovered from time to time.

Someone came over to take a look and saw that he was just meditating and practicing there. They guessed that the martial arts Zhou Qing was practicing should have some connection with the special death energy in this place.
