The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 185 The Genius Demon Second Master (6k)

After returning to Xiaoling Peak, the familiar courtyard came into view, and the old hen was already waiting at the door.

It tilted its head and stared at the intersection with its small eyes without blinking, as if it had expected Zhou Qing to come back.

Looking at this familiar scene, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

For some reason, when he looked at the old hen again, he felt that the dullness in its eyes seemed to be less, and there was a different kind of agility and even a bit of humanity in its eyes.

Zhou Qing rubbed his eyes quickly, and nothing seemed to have changed.

"Could it be that it has eaten too much spirit stone powder and is about to undergo ultimate evolution?" Zhou Qing laughed at himself.

He immediately carried it into the room, his eyes fell on the two spirit eggs on the ground, he couldn't help but smile, then he directly crushed three medium-grade spirit stones and gave them to it.

It started pecking again.

I have to say that his eyesight seems to be much better now. At least he doesn't peck at the side all the time, and each bite lands precisely on the spirit stone powder.

But at this moment, Zhou Qing no longer cared about anything. The running around and fighting in recent days made him exhausted.

As soon as I lay down on the bed, my eyes closed involuntarily, my consciousness gradually became blurred, and I soon fell asleep.

In his dream, he saw the Taiqing Sect regain its former prosperity. The disciples were happily practicing among the sacred peaks, while the old hen was leisurely strolling in the courtyard with a group of fluffy chicks...

Seven days later, somewhere on Xiaoling Peak Mountain, a terrifying pressure suddenly spread out, and even the faint spiritual power in the air became violent in an instant.

In an instant, the wind and clouds surged.

Afterwards, these spiritual powers gathered towards the center of the pressure with an overwhelming force, like thousands of troops rushing to the battlefield. Wherever they passed, ripples appeared in the space.

Zhou Qing, Yan Xiaohu, Mo Xingjian, and even people from other peaks, all sensed it at this moment and rushed out.

Cao Zhengyang was even more pleased, and he stroked his beard gently and said, "Junior Brother Mo has really taught several good disciples."

His eyes were full of admiration. Before, there was the Ghost Mastiff, and now there was Luo Lingling, not to mention Zhou Qing.

I don’t know where Li Daoxuan went. Has he found his own artistic conception now?

At the foot of the mountain, Bai He, who was originally chatting with Elder Wuzhu in the tent, also stood up suddenly, his eyes full of surprise.

"Second Senior Sister, you are finally going to become a spirit!" Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu hugged each other and spun around, their excitement beyond words.

Mo Xingjian was also very excited, with red eyes.

Only he himself knew how difficult it had been for the second girl along the way, not to mention her childhood... Never mind, some things should just be let go.

Boom boom boom!
Dark clouds rolled and thunder roared.

Immediately afterwards, a green beam of light shot up into the sky and pierced the clouds.

In the core of the light column, Luo Lingling's figure was suspended. At this moment, her whole body was filled with spiritual power, emitting an indescribable glow.

Everyone could clearly see that beneath her skin, there were faint blue veins emerging, flashing with an awe-inspiring and powerful aura.

"Master, what kind of Heavenly Qi did Second Senior Sister refine back then?" Zhou Qing came to Mo Xingjian and asked curiously.

Mo Xingjian sighed and said, "Lingxi, ranked eighteenth among the Heavenly Dao Qi!"

After hearing this, Zhou Qing was surprised. He didn't expect the ranking to be so high.

"Where is the eldest senior brother?" Zhou Qing asked immediately.

Mo Xingjian smiled slightly and said, "Zhenyue, ranked thirteenth!"

Looking at Mo Xingjian's nonchalant answer, Zhou Qing was shocked but also felt mixed emotions.

Back then, Master was able to obtain these two strands of Heavenly Qi of this level because he must have encountered an unimaginable life-and-death crisis.

"No, could you guys please keep your voice down and consider my feelings?" Yan Xiaohu said dissatisfiedly beside him.

Zhou Qing and Mo Xingjian looked at each other, coughed dryly, and seemed a little guilty, then looked at Luo Lingling in the air.

As time went on, the pressure reached its peak, and the entire world was distorted by this force.

Suddenly, a loud noise shook the sky, and a ray of light flashed between Luo Lingling's eyebrows.

Her Nascent Soul suddenly rushed towards the clouds in the sky, and in a moment, a huge image of the Nascent Soul slowly appeared.

The primordial spirit's image was tall and majestic, about a hundred feet in size, and radiated a green light all over its body.

Her face is exactly the same as Luo Lingling's, but she has a more otherworldly charm.

Then, under the excited gazes of the crowd, the eyes of the Yuanshen Dharmakāya slowly opened, and two blue beams of light shot out of his eyes, overlooking the world like a god.

Wherever his eyes reach, everything is shrouded in it, as if nothing can escape his sight.

When Zhou Qing and others met this gaze, they all felt a chill in their hearts, as if they were frightened by an invisible force.

Soon, the soul's image slowly dissipated, the strange phenomenon in the sky gradually returned to normal, and everything returned to peace.

At this moment, countless disciples in Xiaoling Peak cheered excitedly.

"Let's go!" Mo Xingjian said, his voice filled with excitement and joy that were hard to conceal.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu hurried to catch up.

Not long after, the three of them appeared at the place where Luo Lingling was in seclusion. As the stone door was slowly pushed open, a dull sound was heard.

Luo Lingling came out and looked at the three of them, then smiled.

"Hey guys, long time no see!"

…………

Soon, the heads of each peak came with their disciples to congratulate.

After this great battle, the morale of the entire sect was low. Luo Lingling's breakthrough at this time undoubtedly lifted everyone's originally depressed mood.

Luo Lingling spent the entire day responding to congratulations from all sides. It was not until the evening, after seeing off the last group of people, that she had the opportunity to calm down and learn about the major events that had taken place in the past two years.

When she heard that Xiao Aqing had killed Li Hanshan and Yu Ziqi who ambushed her, the Demon King's holy medicine was mysteriously lost, pregnant Li Niang, a terrible war broke out in Canglan Mountain, the Nine Nether Demon Lotus appeared, and the five sects finally reached a complete ceasefire agreement, her eyes were full of disbelief.

However, none of this matters. She just looks at Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu with some heartache.

The two younger brothers chose to provoke those two guys, definitely to avenge her.

"Don't take risks in the future!" Luo Lingling warned with concern in her eyes.

The two nodded repeatedly and promised not to do that again.

"Oh, Second Senior Sister, brother-in-law... well, Brother Baihe is still at the foot of the mountain. He said he brought you a gift. It's not easy for him. He came here twice after you went into seclusion."

Yan Xiaohu said with a smile, a hint of cunning on his face.

Zhou Qing also nodded repeatedly and echoed: "Ever since you tricked him with the paper figurine, he has been looking for you. My third brother and I have both been saved by him."

When Luo Lingling heard this, she was slightly stunned, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and then she looked at her master Mo Xingjian.

Mo Xingjian smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, saying, "You're already grown up. It's up to you to decide your own life. No matter what you choose, I will support you unconditionally."

"Us too!" Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu said in unison.

Seeing this, Luo Lingling finally nodded slightly and turned to walk down the mountain.

Yan Xiaohu was full of curiosity. As soon as he saw Luo Lingling leaving, he couldn't wait to follow her. He wanted to see what gifts Bai He had prepared and what private conversations the two of them would have.

Zhou Qing was quick to act and quickly grabbed him.

"Don't forget, they are both in the Spirit Transformation Realm!" Zhou Qing reminded.

Yan Xiaohu had no choice but to give up.

But what I didn’t expect was that Luo Lingling came back in less than half an hour, her eyes full of excitement.

"Lao Mo, Sanhuzi, Xiao Aqing, I want to go somewhere with Baihe. Anyway, the five sects have ended the battle. Even if I stay in the sect, I can't be of much help for the time being." Luo Lingling said anxiously.

The three of them didn't expect that in just a short while, Bai He had given her some kind of magic potion that made her so eager to leave.

"Where are we going?" Although Mo Xingjian was reluctant, he couldn't help but ask.

Luo Lingling said, "Haomiao Mansion, everything is fine. That careless guy seemed to have given me a gift, but he actually threw away the most precious thing. I must rush over to take a look immediately. Don't worry, there's no danger."

After hearing Luo Lingling say this, they felt relieved.

After a simple packing, Luo Lingling left in a hurry.

After watching her disappear, Mo Xingjian sighed softly.

The eldest brother now has five like-minded brothers, the second brother is taken care of by Baihe, and the fourth brother will definitely leave the small place of Taiqingmen in the future and go to a wider world to realize his ambitions.

After much thought, he never expected that the third child, who gave him the most trouble, would become the one who stayed by his side.

This is good, at least I'm not alone.

"Master, stop looking. Second Senior Sister is a girl after all. She is destined to be taken away with the basin. Maybe in a few years, you will have a white and chubby little grandson."

Yan Xiaohu's untimely voice suddenly rang out from the side.

Mo Xingjian's hands suddenly clenched until they made crackling sounds.

…………

The news of the brutal battle at Canglan Mountain quickly spread throughout Lingyun Prefecture.

This war had already attracted much attention due to the years of disputes among the five sects in the Eastern Region, but no one had expected that the fuse that would eventually end it all would be a demon king losing his elixir.

What is even more shocking is that the power of the entire Eastern Region suffered unprecedented damage in this war and was almost weakened to the bottom.

All of a sudden, many sects in the other three regions that were no weaker than the five sects quietly sent people to check it out.

In particular, I heard that the remaining strength of the Jinlei Sect, Qingyu Xian Sect and Tianji Sect is less than 20% of their peak period.

As for the thousands of small sects and factions, large and small, the situation is even more dire. Almost none of them have a Spirit Transformation Realm or Nascent Soul Realm master, and they have fallen into a chaotic situation with no leader.

This gave many people an opportunity to take advantage of.

Taiqingmen is also heavily guarded, and the sense of being spied on outside the mountain gate is extremely serious.

But after the three supreme elders suddenly went out and hung the bodies of the six people in the Spirit Transformation Realm outside the mountain gate, the feeling of being spied on disappeared completely.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though Taiqing Sect has experienced many great battles, its strength should not be underestimated.

"The Golden Thunder Sect and the Blue Feather Immortal Sect have unilaterally closed down due to problems with the teleportation array and need for repairs!"

Zhou Qing soon learned this news from Mo Xingjian and was stunned. Mo Xingjian smiled slightly and slowly explained, "I understand. The two sects suffered the most severe losses in the battle of Canglan Mountain. It's safe to say that if we really had any ideas, even if they joined forces, it would be useless."

He paused slightly, his eyes becoming more profound. "Not to mention they each got two Nine Nether Lotus Seeds. With the mountain gate formation, we can hold out for a while, but with the teleportation formation, we can go straight to Huanglong."

Zhou Qing seemed to be thinking about something and nodded slightly.

After all, the war between the five sects has ended, and the relationship of mutual assistance that once existed has collapsed, and even turned into vigilance and precaution.

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!
What's more, it's hard to say which family will successfully break through to the Soul Severing Realm.

"Who did we give it to?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

Mo Xingjian shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this, and I didn't ask. After all, this is top secret."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing had no choice but to give up.

But even so, it would probably take an extremely long time from refining, beheading the soul to breaking through.

After Mo Xingjian left, Zhou Qing finally had time to refine the materials for the [Itchy Heart Array] that he had purchased from Zhang Wanbao.

Half a month later, the formation was finally successful.

This is the fourth formation that Zhou Qing possesses after the "Buddha Formation", "Eighteen-Magnitude Earthquake" and "Thunder and Flame Soul-Devouring Formation".

Although they are only first-level magic circles, if used well, they can produce unexpected effects.

Then all that remains is to concentrate on practicing the "Emperor Brilliant Sutra". Currently, I have only made some progress and must master it thoroughly as soon as possible.

……

"Old Four, Old Four——"

Just when Zhou Qing had just fed the old hen some spirit stone powder, Yan Xiaohu's voice started shouting outside.

The frightened old hen clucked and flapped its wings as it ran around the yard.

Zhou Qing sighed helplessly and had to open the door.

Just as he was about to ask him speechlessly what he was doing, his pupils suddenly shrank when his eyes fell on Yan Xiaohu's head.

The third senior brother still looked familiar, but the note above his head was no longer the familiar [junior brother who is making progress secretly], but had become [a little kid who is serious and reliable in his work].

Oh my god, Uncle Er!!!

"No, I've noticed more than once that you like to look at the top of my head. Is there something on my head?"

Yan Xiaohu touched his head curiously, then asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing quickly suppressed the surprise on his face and asked calmly, "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohu stepped forward and said mysteriously, "It must be something serious. I feel like there's a spy in the sect, possibly a powerful individual from one of the other three realms. When I came here just now, I felt like someone was secretly following me."

When Yan Xiaohu finished speaking, he looked nervous and turned his head to look behind him furtively, as if someone was hiding in a corner, spying on them.

Zhou Qing watched Yan Xiaohu's performance, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile that seemed to have a deep meaning.

He teased, "Spy? If there are still outsiders in the Taiqing Sect now, it should be you, right, Second Master!"

After saying this, Zhou Qing took a step back seriously and saluted respectfully.

The expression on Yan Xiaohu's face suddenly stiffened, and his originally lively expression froze in an instant.

The next moment, he returned to his original appearance.

"It's not you, you... I really want to search your soul and see, did you smell it this time too?"

The second uncle said with an unwilling look on his face.

He really couldn't understand why every time he made careful preparations and appeared in various identities and at different times, Zhou Qing could always recognize him at a glance.

No matter how sensitive your nose is, it can't be so outrageous.

Could it be that I was born with a special feeling for him?

Zhou Qing chuckled, a hint of pride on his face.

"Are you back from further studies?" Zhou Qing asked with a smile.

The second uncle immediately looked proud, with a hint of excitement in his eyes. As his mind moved, he saw thirty-seven spiritual seals floating around his body.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw this.

As expected of an old demon, he has comprehended so many spiritual seals in just a few years.

The second uncle raised his chin slightly and boasted, "Do you know what this is? A spiritual seal, something that only a master array master can condense."

Zhou Qing immediately understood what he meant and offered a round of flattery: "Master is the master, it's really amazing! Once this spiritual seal is released, who can compete with it!"

After hearing this, the second uncle laughed even more happily, and it was obvious that he was very pleased with Zhou Qing's praise.

Soon, he put away the spiritual seal, then looked Zhou Qing up and down, admiring him.

"Late Nascent Soul stage? This progress is simply shocking. Even when I was young, it wasn't this fast. It looks like it won't be long before you can teach that old man's group of disciples a lesson for me!"

The second uncle seemed very happy, as if he saw Zhou Qing being proud of him.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to smile modestly. After all, when the second uncle gave him the Qi of Heaven, he had said that he had made a bet with an old friend, and the content was probably about a competition between the younger generations.

But thinking about it, that old friend should also be in the Soul-Severing Realm.

But Zhou Qing quickly reacted and said, "Second Master, you are considered a first-level formation master, right? I'm afraid you can't break the restrictions in the other coffins at your current level."

The second uncle said, "I don't know, so I asked for a long vacation from the sect and came back to give it a try. I just didn't expect that so many things would happen in the Eastern Region in just a few years."

Zhou Qing could only nod and said politely, "Then I wish you immediate success, sir."

The second uncle chuckled, a hint of cunning on his face, and said, "No, I should say yes. I wish us immediate success."

Zhou Qing's expression suddenly changed, he took a step back, and the smile on his face instantly became awkward.

"Uncle, please stop making trouble!" Zhou Qing said hurriedly.

Not to mention anything else, the third coffin contains a Fire Crocodile King at the Soul-Severing Realm.

The risk level in the other five coffins must also be frighteningly high.

If the second uncle, a half-baked formation master, goes in rashly, he will be seeking death.

No, he won't die, I will die.

He has the Shenxu Heavenly Palace token, which allows him to simulate at any time. When his strength is enough, he can go in and explore on his own.

Anyway, he had secretly learned the marks on both sides of the tunnel.

The second uncle looked at Zhou Qing's frightened expression and said with disdain: "Look at you like this, how can I harm you? Don't worry, I'm here for you."

"Uncle, why don't you go in and try it first. If there is no danger, it won't be too late to call me later," Zhou Qing suggested.

The second uncle shook his head and said with certainty, "You're lucky. In the third coffin, I fought the Crocodile King countless times, but I couldn't find the Golden Crow Fan. I only brought you in once, and I got it straight away."

"That time I was just lucky. Actually..."

"Luck is also a part of strength. Don't be so fussy. When I come back, the first person I want to see is you."

Before Zhou Qing could finish his words, the second uncle grabbed Zhou Qing anxiously, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already outside Lu Yaoyao's residence.

From a distance, the girl was humming a ballad, sitting in front of the window, drawing something, and laughing from time to time.

"Hey, this girl is incredible. She's already at the Nascent Soul stage. Did the Five Sects War improve you so quickly?"

The second uncle was surprised, his eyes full of surprise.

After expressing his admiration, he pushed aside the covering beside the toilet as if he knew the way, and jumped in again with Zhou Qing.

They walked all the way to the five-colored altar, and the second uncle signaled Zhou Qing to do it himself.

Zhou Qing's face, originally full of resistance, could not help but become embarrassed and said, "Master, how can I open this?"

"Hurry up. Don't think I didn't see you secretly taking photos with the imaging stone when you left last time. I didn't expose you because you had blisters all over your body." said the second uncle.

Zhou Qing laughed.

It is true that the devil is always one step ahead of the good.

Come to think of it, I've never been here since I learned how to do it. It's just that things happened one after another afterwards.

After simulating many times, he still couldn't push open any coffin, so he gave up.

"I don't have any money!" Zhou Qing pointed at the energy slot on the altar.

The second uncle rolled his eyes, snapped his fingers, and eight high-grade spirit stones fell in.

Zhou Qing let out a light breath, took a step forward, and was about to perform a seal when he suddenly reacted.

"When walking inside, it seems that no hand seals are needed?"

Because the power of teleportation has been manifested on the altar at this moment, and I have never seen the second uncle use it last time.

Otherwise, even if the supreme elders discover this passage in the future, they will not be able to enter.

The second uncle laughed heartily, a triumphant smile on his face, and said, "I was just trying to trick you. I didn't expect you to actually learn it."

Zhou Qing: "..."

After re-entering, the second uncle looked around and saw that there was basically no change. He then looked at Zhou Qing and said, "You are quite smart. Even though you learned the hand seals, you didn't dare to come in. Otherwise, you would not even know how you died."

Zhou Qing smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I just stole a little bit of your skills. I wouldn't dare come in. By the way, Second Uncle, didn't you say when you left last time that if I could still recognize you the next time we meet, you would give me a great opportunity?"

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he looked at the second uncle expectantly.

The second uncle said, "That's right, how could I forget this? Do you know how great the opportunity is in this coffin?"

Zhou Qing: "..."

So you brought me here to give me an opportunity?

As the two of them returned to the corridor, Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask, "Master, what level of cultivation did those three corpse wax crows have? During that time, the remains of the Golden Winged Dapeng appeared in Canglan Mountain, and one of the corpse wax crows rushed out."

"What is that?" the second uncle asked in shock.
