The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 170 What did you do to the fourth brother, you beast? (6k)

At this time, Zhou Qing did not dare to be careless at all and made all the preparations carefully.

After everything was settled, he took a deep breath, tried to calm his slightly excited mind, then slowly reached out and pulled out the cork of the jade bottle.

In an instant, a majestic aura as if coming from ancient times suddenly gushed out from the jade bottle and filled the entire room in an instant.

It contains endless dominance and majesty, and also carries a sense of heaviness that comes from the accumulation of years.

Looking inside the jade bottle, three drops of blood were quietly suspended in it, like three burning golden balls, emitting dazzling light.

Zhou Qing felt his throat go dry and he swallowed involuntarily.

Fortunately, he had experience in refining the essence blood of the Golden Crow and the Suanni before. He carefully took out a drop of essence blood from them, immediately started to practice the "Yin Yang Secret" to protect his own meridians, and then began to swallow and refine it.

As the essence and blood entered his body, Zhou Qing suddenly felt as if boiling magma was flowing freely in his meridians.

The scorching burning sensation sent waves of severe pain through his meridians. He couldn't help but groan, and beads of sweat the size of beans instantly covered his forehead.

Not daring to slack off in the slightest, he quickly concentrated his energy and began to channel this violent force.

At this moment, the shadow of a golden-winged roc suddenly appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness. It roared angrily towards the sky, spread its wings, and rushed towards Zhou Qing's Nascent Soul with great momentum, as if it wanted to devour it.

Zhou Qing didn't even need to take action. Sensing the crisis, the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head immediately began to suppress it.

Time passed little by little, and soon, Zhou Qing's face, which had turned pale due to pain, gradually began to return to normal. Later, there was even a hint of enjoyment between his eyebrows.

In this way, half a month passed quietly, and Zhou Qing finally succeeded in completely refining the first drop of the Golden-winged Roc's blood.

In an instant, an incomparably powerful force emanated from his body and lingered around him.

"Perhaps, the energy contained in these three drops of blood essence alone is enough for me to successfully break through to the late Nascent Soul stage!"

After all, the energy required to achieve a breakthrough when the Four Flowers Gather at the Top of the Head is extremely huge.

And these three drops of essence and blood came from a great master who had reached the great perfection of the Soul-Slaying Realm. Just from refining the first drop of essence and blood, he could feel the tremendous energy contained in it very clearly.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing said nothing, and once again gathered his spirits and began to refine the second drop of blood essence...

Three days later, Yan Xiaohu hurried over.

Seeing the soundproofing system activated outside the courtyard and the "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging outside, he finally felt relieved.

When I went to Shenyue Peak today, I learned that Junior Sister Lu had returned and was in seclusion. I was worried about the fourth brother, so I hurried over to see her.

"Hmph, you came back without even saying hello. You all are in seclusion, right? Then I'll do the same!" Yan Xiaohu muttered.

The people at the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head are so hardworking, but he, who is just building his foundation in the earth veins, is really too lazy.

Two months passed in a flash, and late at night that day, a powerful aura burst out, but it was quickly restrained.

In the room, Zhou Qing had his eyes tightly closed, motionless. He sat cross-legged, holding in his left and right hands several top-grade spirit stones that had completely turned into empty shells.

And above the head, there is a Nascent Soul that is almost identical to the original body, rising and falling, emitting a faint halo around its body, revealing a sense of spirituality.

Not long after, the Nascent Soul entered the body, and Zhou Qing slowly opened his eyes. In his plain black eyes, a faint flash of brilliant golden light suddenly appeared.

Especially the aura on his body, compared with before, seemed to become longer and mellower, and at the same time it also revealed a sense of heat and sharpness.

After feeling the powerful spiritual power that had multiplied exponentially in his body, Zhou Qing immediately had a satisfied smile on his face.

"The late Nascent Soul stage, finally a breakthrough!"

Zhou Qing murmured softly, then stood up, opened his arms and smiled gently.

When he reached the final stage of the breakthrough, he took out some of the top-grade spirit stones on his body for the sake of safety, but he didn't expect that they were all absorbed by him.

Fortunately, I finally took this crucial step and successfully broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

"The feeling of advancement is truly wonderful..." Zhou Qing sighed again, his face full of comfort and satisfaction.

Strike while the iron is hot, Zhou Qing simply stretched his body and then couldn't wait to start practicing the "Emperor Glory Sutra".

This time, everything happened so naturally. Countless obscure ancient characters became clearer and poured into his mind like a tide.

In a trance, he seemed to have crossed the vast time and space, and seemed to have a glimpse of the ancient times, when the golden-winged Roc roamed across the world and tore through the sky with its invincible grace.

The innate dominance and freedom of soaring into the sky continued to integrate into his body.

In just half a month, his body underwent amazing changes.

Beneath the skin, a golden glow appeared, as if fine scales were forming, and the bones creaked, as if they were undergoing reshaping and strengthening, becoming increasingly tough and powerful.

At the same time, Shenyue Peak!

Cao Zhengyang was standing in the air, looking at the residence below that was almost covered by ice sculptures with complicated eyes. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his heart was full of doubts and worries.

Ever since Lu Yaoyao came back from being away with Zhou Qing for more than two months, she chose to go into seclusion.

I think he must have gained something, and as a master, he was tactful and didn't ask too many questions.

After all, the last time this kid went out with Zhou Qing, he came back and broke through two levels in succession, so Cao Zhengyang felt a little more at ease with Zhou Qing.

But now, more than three months have passed, how come this residence has become like this?
"Has she practiced a more powerful technique?" Cao Zhengyang was both happy and worried.

The main reason was that he didn't understand what this technique was like and whether it was suitable for her.
What if something goes wrong during cultivation?
Just when he was filled with worry, suddenly, a burst of sky-high energy suddenly burst out from below.

Feeling this breath, Cao Zhengyang was stunned at first, and then his face was full of surprise.

"Nascent Soul Realm, breakthrough, this kid actually broke through!" Cao Zhengyang murmured to himself excitedly, and the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed.

After a few hours, the ice crystals covering the surroundings began to melt slowly. Under Cao Zhengyang's expectant gaze, Lu Yaoyao happily opened the door.

Then, without even looking at Cao Zhengyang in the air, he flew straight towards Xiaoling Peak.

Cao Zhengyang, who was stretching out his hand and preparing to say hello, suddenly froze in mid-air. The smile on his face froze instantly, and his lips trembled violently.

I feel so sad suddenly!
……

Looking at Zhou Qing who was still in seclusion, a hint of disappointment flashed in Lu Yaoyao's eyes.

But he soon cheered up again.

"It seems that the blood essence of the Golden-winged Roc is difficult to refine!" she murmured to herself.

Then I gave myself some encouragement.

With the help of the "Ice Purity Art" given by her third mother, she finally succeeded in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. It was just the right time for her to practice the matching "Ice Lotus" in one go.

After all, this magical power is several times more powerful than any of the techniques she is currently practicing.

As soon as they returned to Shenyue Peak, they saw their master sitting outside with a sullen face. Lu Yaoyao immediately ran over with a happy look on her face.

"Master, I have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Cao Zhengyang laughed.

……

Ten months later, Yan Xiaohu was released from confinement.

"Oh my god, how long has it been?" Seeing that Zhou Qing was still in seclusion, Yan Xiaohu, who was holding the old hen, felt a little unbelievable.

He raised his hand and scratched his head, calculating the time. It has been a year since you and Junior Sister Lu came back from Canglan Mountain.

Don’t tell me you plan to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage in one go?

Then as a senior brother, I have no need to live at all. The gap is too huge.

But just as he was about to leave, a dull roar suddenly came from Zhou Qing's residence, like the low roar of an ancient giant beast before awakening.

Yan Xiaohu stopped immediately and looked at the old hen in his arms. The hen's body began to tremble involuntarily. It was so scared that it laid a magical egg. Then it kept getting into his arms. He was a little confused for a moment.

The next moment, the courtyard exploded, and gravel and wood chips flew everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light roared out accompanied by a violent gust of wind.

Yan Xiaohu's face suddenly changed, and he quickly dodged to the side, instantly mobilizing the spiritual power in his body to protect his body. At the same time, he exerted force with his feet and retreated quickly, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After stabilizing his body, he looked vigilantly towards the center of the light in the air.

In the golden light, a golden-winged roc with a body as long as ten feet was flapping its golden wings.

The feathers all over its body seemed to be cast in gold, each feather sparkling with cold light, and its eyes were like two golden suns, burning with scorching flames, revealing endless majesty and dominance.

The wind was howling and sand and rocks were flying.

It was like a ferocious beast from ancient mythology. Yan Xiaohu felt a chill in his heart just by looking at it, and he retreated again.

"I understand. You're not dead. What did you, a beast, do to the fourth brother?"

Yan Xiaohu reacted immediately, roared angrily, and swung the big knife in his hand, pointing it directly at the golden-winged Roc in the sky with full murderous intent.

Last time, Zhou Qing was almost possessed by the Golden-winged Roc, but afterwards the fourth brother said that he was killed by the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head.

Now it seems that they were all killed. No one knows what strange means the old King Peng used to deceive the fourth brother.

No wonder he was in seclusion for so long this time, it turns out he was trying to take over someone else's body.

Zhou Qing looked at Yan Xiaohu's angry and nervous expression and let out a long roar towards the sky.

The joy of breaking free from constraints is very exciting.

After eight months of seclusion, he had finally cultivated the Imperial Brilliance Sutra to minor success. The effects of his Golden Roc's true form and the Emperor's might were both extraordinary. He could clearly feel his combat prowess at this moment, a qualitative leap in strength compared to before.

Coupled with the enhancement of his Four Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and his cultivation in the late Nascent Soul Realm, it was easy for him to crush ordinary Great Perfection cultivators.

Even people like Yu Ziqi who have already mastered the artistic conception cannot be killed.

With a flash of light, the majestic golden-winged Roc in the sky disappeared instantly, replaced by Zhou Qing who had turned back into human form.

Looking at this scene, Yan Xiaohu, who was originally furious, blinked and immediately reacted.

"Is it the one called the Emperor Huang Sutra?" Yan Xiaohu blinked and finally remembered something.

Zhou Qingze smiled widely and said, "Third Brother, what are you doing? You pointed a big knife at me, and I thought you were going to kill your own relatives for the sake of justice."

At this moment, Zhou Qing exuded a powerful and restrained aura, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and there was a unique confidence and composure in his every move.

Yan Xiaohu immediately put away his sword, ran over, and circled around Zhou Qing, his eyes filled with shock and envy that was difficult to conceal.

"You..." He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment, and felt anxious.

"Emperor Glory Sutra?" Yan Xiaohu uttered three words, as if he wanted to confirm it again.

Zhou Qing nodded.

"I want to practice!" Yan Xiaohu said without thinking.

Zhou Qing explained helplessly, "I wanted to share this with you guys after I woke up last time, but I couldn't say it. Didn't Master say this was a bloodline inheritance technique?"

Yan Xiaohu felt like crying, mumbling with a face full of resentment: "That damn flat-haired beast, why didn't he take over my body?"

"and many more……"

Soon, he seemed to sense something, his eyes widened, and he asked tentatively, "You, have broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage?"

Zhou Qing looked at his third senior brother's complicated look, which showed that he was worried that his brother would suffer, but also worried that his brother would drive a Land Rover, and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaohu stuffed the old hen in his arms into Zhou Qing's arms without saying a word, turned around and left angrily.

"Third Brother, where are you going?"

"Go to hell!"

…………

Zhou Qing didn't expect that after just a short while, his third senior brother would come back.

He first ran hurriedly to the big tree outside the yard, urinated as if no one was around, and then came to Zhou Qing with a resentful look on his face.

That look made people feel both funny and helpless.

"You said before that the Golden Crow's blood was given to you by Second Master, and then you accidentally found the Suanni's blood at Spirit Skull Mountain, and now it's the Golden Winged Dapeng's blood. How come you always get all the good things?"

Yan Xiaohu's words were filled with unconcealable envy.

Zhou Qing said seriously, "Third Brother, if I tell you that I risked my life to get these three opportunities, would you believe me?"

The Golden Crow's blood essence was obtained at great risk in the face of so many fire crocodiles and the threat of a Soul Severing Realm cultivator. He even got burned and covered in blisters.

The blood essence of the Suanni also carries an inexplicable cause and effect. It is also entrusted by Senior Xuan Qingzi. If he has the opportunity to go to the starry sky battlefield in the future, he must prove to him that he is not a deserter.

The blood essence of the Golden-winged Roc followed a Soul-Severing Realm cultivator on an expedition. Fortunately, Number Six was independent and believed in the word "fate". If it were anyone else, do you think they would let you take away three drops of rare blood essence?
At this moment, looking at Zhou Qing's look that didn't seem to be lying, Yan Xiaohu's heart suddenly seemed to be touched by something, and he instantly felt the difficulty that the fourth brother had gone through along the way.

The next moment, he suddenly laughed, took a step forward, put his arm around Zhou Qing's shoulders, and said sincerely, "Fourth Brother, I'm not jealous of you. In fact, I'm more happy for you. What's the saying, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

"Look at you. Now that the Four Flowers have gathered at the top of your head, you've already experienced so many life-and-death crises. Your dantian was shattered, you were targeted by the five great geniuses, and you were even nearly possessed by a corpse. God knows what hardships you will experience in the future. Brother, I feel sorry for you from the bottom of my heart."

Yan Xiaohu said with concern.

After hearing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but jokingly said, "Why are you suddenly so sentimental? You're speaking so sincerely, is this true?"

"Of course it's true!" Yan Xiaohu glared at Zhou Qing, then said seriously, "Think about it, once the secret of your four flowers is exposed, who knows how many enemies you'll have to make!"

After hearing this, Zhou Qing nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Then you better keep your mouth shut. After all, not many people know about this."

Yan Xiaohu immediately patted his chest and made a promise. Then, an excited look appeared on his face. He approached Zhou Qing and said in a low voice, "Fourth Brother, now that you've been in seclusion for so long, our rankings on the must-kill list have dropped. Shouldn't we take this opportunity to make a big move?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Qing's heart suddenly moved when he heard it.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaohu explained in detail, "You still remember Li Hanshan and Yu Ziqi, right? They injured Second Senior Sister so badly before. If we hadn't arrived in time, who knows what would have happened."

"Besides, Second Senior Sister will probably reach Divine Transformation in a year or two. According to the current unspoken rules, there's no way we can take action against those two guys."

"Besides, we don't know when those two guys will break through, but they've been relying on their own cultivation to kill quite a few people from our Three Sects Alliance recently."

"The worst part is, every time they attack, they deliberately leave one person alive and have that person tell the others they're taking revenge on you for killing Sima Yaoji. If anyone needs to be blamed, it's you!"

Yan Xiaohu became more and more angry as he spoke.

Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes suddenly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

These two people are really shameless to the extreme. He actually doesn't care much about how others view him.

But they almost killed Second Senior Sister. This is real hatred and we can't just let it go like this no matter what.

And now, he does have the confidence and strength to deal with them.

"It's rumored that when three flowers gather at the top of the head, one has extraordinary combat power. I've already witnessed this from you, not to mention that you have four flowers gathered at the top of the head."

"Now that you've broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, coupled with this incredibly powerful 'Emperor Brilliance Sutra', I think if we join forces, we can give it a try!"

Yan Xiaohu's eyes lit up and he discussed with anticipation.

Zhou Qing nodded without hesitation, after all, that was exactly what he meant.

Seeing Zhou Qing agree, Yan Xiaohu was excited: "Okay, just wait for my news. I need to mobilize some resources to investigate the recent movements of these two guys and try to find an opportunity to defeat them separately. This way, the chances of winning will be greater."

After saying that, Yan Xiaohu turned around and left impatiently.

Zhou Qingze stood there holding the old hen in his arms, lost in thought.

To be on the safe side, he still had to make some thorough preparations. Then, he took the old hen and headed towards Shenyue Peak.

When Lu Yaoyao learned that Zhou Qing had come out of confinement, she rushed out immediately.

After searching among the crowd for a long time, I finally saw that familiar figure at the exchange hall.

At this time, Zhou Qing was in the exchange hall, using his accumulated points to exchange for another set of formation materials.

You know, he now has two kinds of formation flags on hand, namely the "Buddha Formation" and the "Thunder and Flame Soul-Devouring Formation".

But this time, what he wanted to refine was a formation with a rather strange name, called "Eighteen-Magnitude Earthquake".

In the formation inheritance left to him by Senior Xuan Qingzi, there are more than a thousand first-level formations alone.

When Zhou Qing first saw the name of this formation, he was instantly attracted to it. After carefully reading the introduction of the formation, he was even more surprised and full of expectations for this formation.

Once you enter the formation, it will be really earth-shaking. Even the air can reach a high-frequency vibration with every breath. The power is really not to be underestimated.

Therefore, Zhou Qing really wanted to try out the actual effect of this formation. At the same time, he also admired Senior Xuan Qingzi's ingenious ideas.

"Where is he?" Lu Yaoyao finally squeezed through the crowd, but found that Zhou Qing was gone. She looked carefully again and found that he was standing there.

This made her stunned.

What's wrong with me recently? I always ignore Senior Brother Zhou from time to time.

"Senior Brother Zhou——" Lu Yaoyao rubbed her eyes, a happy smile appeared on her face again, and she shouted loudly.

When Zhou Qing saw her, he smiled slightly and indicated that the exchange hall was too noisy, so he went out to talk.

"Congratulations, you have been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage!" After getting outside, he congratulated sincerely.

Lu Yaoyao giggled, a smug look on her face, and said, "It seems like you've gained a lot from your retreat this time."

"It's okay, not bad." Zhou Qing was modest for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked, "Do you have time recently?"

When Lu Yaoyao heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. She guessed something in her heart and quietly approached Zhou Qing and whispered, "Are you finally going to do something big?"

"Shh, I'll call you when the time comes!" Zhou Qing hurriedly lowered his voice and reminded him.

After hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded repeatedly, feeling excited.

You know, in the past eight months, she has mastered the "Ice Lotus" technique to a certain extent, and has become more and more adept at practicing it.

At this moment, she seriously suspected that the silver-haired woman might really be her biological mother. Both her mental method and martial arts skills were tailor-made for her.

"Zhou Qing!" At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from behind.

Zhou Qing turned around and saw Uncle Gao Xuan walking out of the mission hall and waving at him.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao knew that Master Gao had something to discuss with Zhou Qing, so she said tactfully, "Then I'll go back and prepare. Brother Zhou, remember to call me when the time comes."

Zhou Qing nodded, then walked towards Master Gao Xuan and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

Gao Xuan still had a gentle look on his face and said with a smile: "It's been a while since I last saw you. Come walk with me."

"Yes, uncle." Zhou Qing responded, and then the two of them walked down the mountain together.

PS: Please give me a monthly ticket so that Sanxing can be on the monthly ticket list.
