The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 193 Is the threshold for becoming a formation master so low now? (6k)

"Brother Zhou, you're here. There's a vacant seat here."

"Brother Zhou, your insights into battle formations in class are truly eye-opening. Could you please tell us more about how you came up with those unique ideas?"

"Yeah, yeah, could you give us some pointers?"

……

As soon as Zhou Qing entered the room, many students came up to him enthusiastically.

Now Zhou Qing has become the teacher's favorite person to ask questions, and he almost never misses a class.

Moreover, this person is really knowledgeable, and every answer he gives makes the gentleman quite satisfied.

"Don't worry, let's wait until Teacher Lin finishes his lecture and then we can discuss it together." Zhou Qing said with a smile.

After calming everyone down, he found the second uncle and sat down next to him.

"Formation genius, how do you feel?" The second uncle asked with a smile, his eyes full of ridicule and laughter.

Zhou Qing smiled helplessly and said, "Master, please stop making fun of me. My little bit of Taoism means nothing in front of you."

"I don't take your word for it," the second uncle said seriously, putting away his joking expression. "I've noticed that you've made rapid progress recently. Tell me honestly, how many Spirit Seals have you condensed so far?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Qing suddenly showed a proud smile on his face.

It has to be said that with the careful guidance of Master Lin and the help of his unique methods, he has now successfully condensed twenty-three spirit seals, and his progress is remarkable.

"Guess!" Zhou Qing chuckled.

The second uncle clicked his tongue and was about to speak when Lin Daochen came in.

Everyone stood up and greeted him.

Lin Daochen nodded slightly, his gaze lingered on Zhou Qing for a moment, and then he began to teach.

【Ignore point +1】

But after a moment, the system prompt sounded in Zhou Qing's mind.

Zhou Qing was stunned at first, then his face turned over with joy.

To be honest, ever since he became a top student in Teacher Lin's eyes, many people in class have focused their attention on him and even wanted to make friends with him.

Coupled with Master Lin’s frequent questioning, his opportunities to improve were becoming less and less.

Now, the class has just started and he has been ignored. Needless to say, it is definitely the credit of the [Lucky Post].

It would be nice if a few more pictures could be refreshed in the future.

【Ignore point +2】

Soon, the reminder sounded again.

Time passes quietly and the points continue to grow.

Not long after, Zhou Qing felt something and immediately checked his personal panel.

Talent Skill [Reduce Presence - LV5 (1/100)]

A bright smile immediately appeared on Zhou Qing's face.

Finally reached level five.

Condensing Qi, building foundation, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, and transforming into the spirit.

Different levels of cultivation correspond to different levels. From now on, even a strong person in the Spirit Transformation Realm will have a chance to ignore his existence.

This is undoubtedly a powerful trump card for him.

【Ignore point +1】

【Ignore point +1】

……

The points kept refreshing, and Zhou Qing's smile grew wider.

Even at the end of the class, Teacher Lin rarely asked him any questions.

Instead, the second uncle was asked a few questions, which made Master Lin fall into a brief period of contemplation. After his doubts were resolved, the second uncle was very grateful.

[Latest News: After waking up from the attack of the two demon kings, the victim deployed a large number of Flame Explosion Talismans in his secret base. However, due to the recurrence of his hidden injuries during the retreat, he was accidentally affected by the Flame Explosion Talismans, and his injuries were further aggravated.]

Looking at the latest news, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the other party.

I have good luck all the time, but the other party is plagued by bad luck. There is a huge difference between them.

After the class, the second uncle came over and said with a smile, "Are you free today? Have a drink with me?"

Zhou Qing looked embarrassed.

After all, the [Good Luck Post] is only valid for one day, so he has to hurry and take advantage of it.

No matter how much you drink with the second uncle, you will never get drunk.

"Uncle, I'll treat you another day. I have something urgent to do today." Zhou Qing apologized.

Seeing Zhou Qing in a dilemma, the second uncle did not force him: "Alright, it's just right for me to go back and consolidate today's gains."

After seeing off the second uncle, Zhou Qing rushed to another instructor's class without stopping.

【Ignore point +1】

【Ignore point +1】

[Latest news: After killing two demon kings, the person who received the invitation was about to seek another place to recuperate, but he accidentally ran into the secret meeting between the Five Ghost Sect and the Myriad Flowers Valley. After being discovered, he is being hunted down.]

Zhou Qing was stunned.

Now, in the two southwestern regions of Haomiao Prefecture, more than a dozen major sects that are not weaker than Taiqing Sect are fighting.

The Five Ghosts Sect is one of the six major sects in the Western Region, while the Myriad Flowers Valley is the major sect in the Southern Region.

Sure enough, there are no eternal enemies, only common interests.

But it also shows that the other party is indeed in the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he killed two demon kings in a row, which shows how powerful he is, not to mention that he is injured.

It was not until it grew dark that Zhou Qing reluctantly prepared to return to his residence.

Look at your personal dashboard again.

Talent Skill [Reduce Presence - LV5 (26/100)]

Now, there is a 26% chance that the Spirit Transformation Realm will ignore him, which is exciting to think about.

"If only the [Good Luck Post] could last longer!" Zhou Qing sighed regretfully.

【Today's post is being refreshed...】

【The new post has been saved in the odd post record, please check it in time. 】

Just as Zhou Qing was calculating the remaining time of the [Good Luck Post], the system's prompt sound suddenly rang.

This made his eyes widen.

"Is this random, or is it the cumulative effect of the [Lucky Post]?" Two posts were refreshed in just one day. The explosion rate is simply ridiculously high.

Zhou Qing didn't care about being excited and quickly opened the [Qi Tie Lu].

Sure enough, there appeared another blue-green post inside, with fine silver lines inlaid on its edges.

The words that appear above seem to contain some mysterious rhythm, which makes people feel peaceful.

[Sudden Enlightenment Post: Can be inserted into one's body. Once used, the mind becomes clear, comprehension greatly increases, and cultivation efficiency is increased a hundredfold. The effect lasts for three hours!]

As his spiritual sense penetrated and he understood its function, Zhou Qing's heart beat faster with excitement.

"Increase your training efficiency a hundredfold? This... I have to keep this... No, I have the [Good Luck Note] now, and with the [Enlightenment Note], it can completely stack the buffs and get twice the result with half the effort!"

After thinking it through, Zhou Qing hurried back to the cave.

"Hey, why is the cave restriction open? I didn't close it when I came back just now? My brain is getting weirder day by day... Hell, Lao Si, when did you come back?"

Yan Xiaohu was so startled that Zhou Qing was shocked.

As [Reduce Presence] was upgraded to level five, Yan Xiaohu had completely begun to ignore Zhou Qing.

I came back right in front of him, but he just couldn't see it.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to speak: "Just got back, Third Brother. I learned a lot from the lecture today, and I plan to take this opportunity to practice well. In the meantime, please don't disturb me."

After saying that, Zhou Qing quickly walked to the side under the moonlight and sat cross-legged.

He planned to take this opportunity to cultivate the [Emperor Brilliance Sutra] to perfection.

Once fully developed, the power of the Golden Peng's true body and the Emperor's might will be further enhanced.

Seeing Zhou Qing's eager look, Yan Xiaohu's face was full of envy.

Suddenly, his face changed because the old hen was jumping towards Zhou Qing.

Yan Xiaohu rushed over and hugged it.

"Your master is practicing, don't disturb him!" Yan Xiaohu said softly.

The old hen blinked her eyes, a glimmer of humanity flashed across her face, and she stared at Zhou Qing, seemingly unaffected by the [reduced sense of presence] effect.

At this moment, with the help of the moonlight shining down from above the cave, a faint silver glow soon appeared on Zhou Qing's body.

He took a deep breath, immersed his mind into his body, and immediately activated the [Enlightenment Post].

In an instant, a cool breath surged out from the dantian and quickly spread throughout the body.

Zhou Qing only felt that his mind was clear and his thoughts became extremely clear.

The text of the "Emperor Brilliant Sutra" that was obscure and difficult to understand in the past is now as clear as reading the lines on the palm of your hand, with every word and sentence being extremely clear.

"The Emperor is as bright as the sun, majestic and majestic, and the Brilliant is as brilliant as the moon, illuminating the myriad worlds..."

Zhou Qing silently recited the scriptures in his heart, a hint of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, and the spiritual power in his body began to circulate.

In the Dantian, the originally calm ocean of spiritual power began to surge, turning into golden torrents, rushing endlessly along the meridians.

The four-colored flowers rooted in the sea of ​​consciousness also shone brightly at this moment, echoing it from afar.

Time passed little by little, and soon Zhou Qing's body was gradually covered by a layer of light golden light.

The golden light was weak at first, but as time went on, it grew stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a brilliant sun, hovering above his head.

In the big sun, you can vaguely see a golden roc spreading its wings and flying high, its wings like knives, sharp and powerful.

This scene made Yan Xiaohu envious.

About an hour later, Zhou Qing quickly formed seals with his hands, and fine golden lines began to appear on the surface of his skin, like ancient runes.

In a trance, his arms seemed to turn into the wings of a golden roc, and every feather gleamed with a metallic luster and was extremely sharp.

Another hour later, a vast pressure suddenly swept across the four directions, as if an emperor had descended and all living things submitted to him.

The air in the entire cave seemed to be frozen, and even breathing became difficult.

Yan Xiaohu, holding the old hen in his arms, felt his legs go weak and he suddenly had the urge to worship it.

He clenched his teeth and tried hard to suppress the impulse, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Hold on, hold on, I'm his senior brother!" Yan Xiaohu kept reminding himself.

However, this pressure did not last long.

A moment later, as Zhou Qing slowly opened his eyes, the suffocating imperial pressure receded like a tide.

There was a faint golden light flowing in his eyes, and his aura became deeper.

With every gesture, he seems to be integrated with the heaven and earth, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable.

Yan Xiaohu gasped for breath, wiped the sweat from his head, and said with lingering fear: "It's fast to get into the state, and it's over quickly. Fourth brother, your "Emperor Glory Sutra"..." Just as he said this, he saw Zhou Qing's hands dancing like phantoms, with spiritual light flashing on his fingertips.

Immediately afterwards, twenty-three spiritual seals appeared out of thin air and hovered around him. Each spiritual seal emitted a faint light, as if containing endless mysteries.

"No way!" Seeing this scene, Yan Xiaohu immediately felt ashamed of himself.

This is too crazy. You just finished the "Emperor Glory Sutra" and you immediately entered the field of formation study?
The switching is so smooth, aren’t you afraid of getting confused?
……

[Epiphany Post] will expire in one hour, so Zhou Qing has to hurry and make the most of it.

Soon, the inheritance left by Senior Xuan Qingzi came to his mind, and countless complex array patterns and runes flowed in his consciousness.

At this moment, his mind was working rapidly and his comprehension was raised to the extreme. Coupled with the teachings of Master Lin during this period of time, the originally obscure knowledge of the formation became extremely clear at this moment.

After a while, under Yan Xiaohu's gaze, a new spiritual seal gradually took shape, complementing the previous twenty-three.

"Is the spiritual seal so easy to condense?" Yan Xiaohu scratched his head.

Of course, he knew something about formation masters. He heard that it required great understanding, but looking at the fourth brother, why did it seem so easy?
However, Zhou Qing did not stop.

His hands continued to dance, and spiritual seals condensed one after another at a speed so fast that it was hard to keep up.

"The twenty-fifth!"

"The twenty-sixth one!"

"The twenty-seventh one!"

……

Yan Xiaohu's mouth opened wider and wider, his eyes full of shock.

He had never seen or heard of anyone who could continuously condense so many spiritual seals in such a short period of time.

It directly overturned his cognition!
Zhou Qing seemed to have entered some mysterious state, completely immersed in the world of formations.

In his mind, the inheritance of Senior Xuan Qingzi was constantly analyzed, turning into spiritual seals that floated around him.

"The 30th one!"

"The thirty-first one!"

"The thirty-second one!"

……

The number of spiritual seals continued to increase. Yan Xiaohu, who was holding the old hen, was already dumbfounded, feeling that everything was so unreal.

It was like a fucking dream.

No, it's not that exaggerated even in dreams.

Could it be that the threshold for becoming a formation master has become lower now?
[Heart Judgment Points +9]

The note above Yan Xiaohu's head, which originally read "Junior brother who is making progress secretly", instantly changed to "Junior brother who is simply not a human being" at this moment.

An hour later, when the sixty-sixth spiritual seal condensed, Zhou Qing's movements finally stopped.

He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of fatigue flashed in his eyes, but more of joy.

"Sixty-six Spiritual Seals, is this the effect of the [Enlightenment Post]?"

Zhou Qing whispered to himself, his heart filled with shock.

In the first two hours, he completely cultivated the "Emperor Brilliant Sutra" to perfection, and in the last hour, he directly condensed forty-three spiritual seals.

He originally thought that it would be pretty good if he could match the second uncle's thirty-seven, but he didn't expect to break through so many in one go!

Normally, this would be impossible. After all, he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to condense a spiritual seal. However, due to the addition of the [Good Luck Post], he was able to achieve such a gratifying result.

Yan Xiaohu, who was standing by, finally came to his senses and hurried forward, stammering, "Old Four, you...how did you do that? Sixty-six spiritual seals, this...this is simply terrifying!"

Zhou Qing smiled, not knowing how to respond for a moment, so he said, "It was just luck."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohu's mouth twitched several times.

lucky?

Condensing so many spiritual seals in one breath, is that luck?
Who are you bluffing?
Do you think I'm a fool?

Then, Zhou Qing stood up and his eyes fell directly on the old hen.

[Good Luck Post] was activated at noon today and is valid for one day, which means it will end at noon tomorrow.

Such precious time must not be wasted.

"Third brother, the moonlight is just right, let's go for a walk!" Zhou Qing said excitedly.

Yan Xiaohu was stunned and said, "Now? No, your schedule is so tight. You just finished practicing, you should at least take a break."

"No, I always feel that something good will happen tonight!" Zhou Qing said with a grin.

Seeing his determined expression, Yan Xiaohu couldn't persuade him any further and could only sigh: "Alright, I'm fine anyway, so I'll go with you."

Just as the two men tied the rope to the old hen's legs, a piece of news suddenly flashed before Zhou Qing's eyes.

[Latest News: The person who received the invitation was injured by the combined forces of the Five Ghosts Sect and the Myriad Flowers Valley. His injuries have worsened. He has found a shelter in the southwest and is recovering.]

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

I guess the other party has been in a daze these past two days, and has no idea why he has such bad luck, being either seriously injured or being hunted down.

Afterwards, he calmly put his thoughts aside, took the old hen, and walked out of the cave with Yan Xiaohu.

……

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the mountain path in the school courtyard, casting a silvery glow.

The old hen flapped its wings and occasionally lowered its head to peck at the grass on the ground.

Yan Xiaohu held a grass stem in his mouth, his fingers crossed, his elbows slightly spread out, and his hands casually placed behind his head. He looked lazy and comfortable.

"Who would take a chicken out so late at night? Only you can do it." Yan Xiaohu muttered, and the grass stem in his mouth swayed gently as he spoke.

"And the old hen, even if it's a mutated egg-laying hen, it should have jumped onto the tree branch and gone to sleep by now. Look at the spirit stone powder it's been fed, it's a little too excited."

Zhou Qingze smiled and didn't respond. He just walked around casually without any definite direction.

Yan Xiaohu suddenly came over and whispered excitedly, "Fourth Brother, I have a bold idea. Now you have condensed sixty-six spiritual seals. If you only need a hundred more, you can become a second-level formation master and create a two-color restriction."

"With Lin Daochen of Baiyu Taixu Academy backing us up, we can definitely make a killing! Then we can sell the formations and restrictions, and we'll definitely make a killing. You use your brain, I'll do the hard work, and we'll split the profits 70% or 80%!"

Zhou Qing didn't answer, but made a hushing sound.

Then he quickened his pace and walked forward. Yan Xiaohu was puzzled and hurried to follow.

Under the moonlight, they soon saw a man and a woman rolling on the lawn. Yan Xiaohu couldn't help but tut a little and chuckled, "Old Four, is this the good thing you were talking about?"

"You've become a bad person! Did you see them having a tryst here when you came back? Let me take a closer look at who they are... They both seem to be inner court disciples, why aren't they doing it in their own cave? Look at them, how immoral..."

Yan Xiaohu cursed and squinted his eyes trying to see the two people's faces clearly.

But soon, the other party finished, and the two of them straightened their clothes, looked around, and left in a hurry.

"It's boring. I came a little late. I didn't even get a clear look at what the woman looked like."

Yan Xiaohu murmured with some regret, "Since you like being outside, at least... Hey, Lao Si, where are you going?"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Zhou Qing walking forward.

Catch up now.

Soon, the two arrived at the rolling lawn and saw three medium-grade spirit stones thrown on the ground.

"No, what do these two mean? Why are they throwing spirit stones after they're done? Are they praying for blessings?"

Yan Xiaohu looked confused and scratched his head, completely unable to understand what was going on.

Before Zhou Qing could bend down to pick them up, the old hen had already rushed over with its wings flapping, and swallowed the three medium-grade spirit stones one by one.

Zhou Qing was stunned.

When did old hens become so digestive? It seems that they don’t need to be crushed into powder anymore.

Facing Yan Xiaohu's question at this moment, Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know. Let's walk a little further."

After saying that, he randomly picked a direction and walked away.

A night passed quietly. During this period, Zhou Qing picked up more than twenty medium-grade spirit stones and one high-grade spirit stone. The old hen even laid two spirit eggs.

At the same time, news about [The Poster] is constantly being updated.

Such a rich harvest made Yan Xiaohu begin to doubt his own eyes.

"No, are the people in the inner courtyard so rich? They really don't take money seriously!"

He decided to go out for a walk every night from now on.

This is much easier than racking his brains to make money, and it costs little.

But Zhou Qing still felt a little regretful.

There's nothing I can do. No matter how lucky I am, it's already night.

Being able to go out and pick up money is already a pleasant surprise. If it is during the day, there may be more opportunities.

Soon after, as the [Good Luck Post] became ineffective, the [Bad Luck Post] continued to work.

It didn't end until the next day.

The last piece of news was that the person who received the invitation used the secret treasure on his body to kill all the powerful people from the Five Ghosts Sect and the Myriad Flowers Valley who had been chasing him.

Zhou Qing frowned, becoming more and more confused.

The opponent seemed to be extremely strong. In just three days, he was constantly injured and unconscious, but he was still able to kill so many powerful gods.

This kind of combat power is simply terrifying.

But with such strength, he plays tricks on his third senior brother every night. What is his purpose in doing so?
Could it be that it is really Sikong Yan?
Come to think of it, that psychopathic guy might really do something like this.

But, he should be in the Eastern Region, so why is he here in Haomiao Mansion?
Moreover, Uncle Gao Xuan said that the other party has been at the academy for a long time. What is going on?

Zhou Qing couldn't understand it and couldn't figure it out.

In the following days, Zhou Qing continued to attend classes as usual, and tried his best to catch up with all the tutors' classes except Lu Yuanzhi's.

However, as the talent skill [Reduce Presence] is upgraded to level five, it becomes increasingly difficult to obtain points.

In the dull classroom environment, he barely managed to get two points after ten whole days. The progress was so slow that he felt a little frustrated.

Fortunately, Yan Xiaohu's ability to inquire is as good as ever.

He quickly found a new holy place for Zhou Qing to earn points - the Asking Platform.

The Asking Platform, as the name suggests, is a place in the academy for students to compete.

Disciples from the four regions of Haomiao Mansion gathered here, competing fiercely with each other and conflicts arose frequently.

The Asking Platform became the best place for them to resolve grievances and demonstrate their strength.

Especially in the context of the current war between the two southwestern regions, disciples from different sects are in constant friction, and competitions on the stage take place almost every day.

Standing in the viewing seats on both sides of the arena, watching the fighting on the stage, I have to say, I really felt a bit nervous and exciting.

If he is lucky, he can gain two to three points in a match.
But the time of these fights was not fixed, so Zhou Qing had to frequently run back and forth between the classroom and the question platform.

Half a month later, Zhang Wanbao came with a smile on his face.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Yan!" As soon as Zhang Wanbao saw the two of them, he immediately rushed up excitedly and gave them a big hug.

The two of them were also very happy.

It has been almost three months since we last saw each other, and this guy's waistline has gotten bigger.
