The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 196: The shock from the second uncle (6k)

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the originally dense and indecipherable ancient blood-colored characters began to slowly converge and blend, as if being pulled by an invisible giant hand.

Until a red scroll was formed that was almost identical to the one on the stone platform.

Zhou Qing was stunned, and in a flash, the scroll appeared in his hand.

"This really was copied!" Zhou Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his heartbeat quickened.

In such a terrifying forbidden area, there are hundreds of thousands of mines crisscrossing each other, with the Blood Phoenix Bone as the key to the hidden portal, the shroud that once wrapped the Human Emperor, and the supreme divine medicine as its companion.

In a place like this, which is filled with numerous natural treasures and terrifying dangers, this carefully placed scroll must contain extraordinary magical powers.

Zhou Qing couldn't wait and immediately concentrated his mind and tried to open the scroll.

However, when his thoughts surged towards the scroll like a tide, it seemed as if he had hit an invisible wall of steel.

He frowned, and increased his strength in disbelief, repeatedly attacking the obstacle with his mind, but the scroll remained motionless, as steady as a rock.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing was not willing to give up. He simply reached out his hand, grabbed the edge of the scroll tightly, and used all his strength to pull it to both sides.

"No, what's the matter?"

Zhou Qing gritted his teeth, veins on his hands bulged as he tried his best to tear open the scroll.

But no matter how hard he tried, the scroll seemed to be welded shut, with no sign of opening.

"Are you playing?" Zhou Qing cursed in a low voice, feeling unwilling.

Soon after, he was covered in sweat, lying on the ground and gasping for breath.

I can’t open it, I really can’t open it!

There is definitely a trick. After all, according to normal thinking, this thing is a precious technique that can only be obtained by people like No. 6 who have reached the Soul-Slaying Realm after experiencing life and death.

After all, he is just a Nascent Soul stage cultivator now.

"Let's wait until the new [Daily Review] is updated!" Zhou Qing sighed.

He quickly realized that he had already made an appointment with Number Six for tomorrow, and it would be inappropriate to break it because of this scroll.

"Forget it. Breaking one's promise is never a good thing. Besides, this scroll is thanks to her!"

Zhou Qing decided to fulfill his agreement with No. 6 first.

The next day, Yan Xiaohu went to get food, and Zhou Qing looked at the back of the token. A blue light spot had appeared on it at some point.

"You're so anxious!" Zhou Qing smiled bitterly.

Then he set up a barrier for himself, injected the spirit stone into it, and entered it again.

"Number one, you're here!" Seeing Zhou Qing online, blue ball number six said excitedly.

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "You've been waiting for a long time."

Number Six quickly responded, "No, I just came in too."

Then, the two fell into a brief silence.

The atmosphere was a little subtle, and it always felt weird, like a date.

Moreover, the identities of the two seemed to be reversed.

"Let's go!" Zhou Qing had no choice but to speak up and break the deadlock first.

Number Six nodded and quickly led the way.

Not long after, they came to that space again with ease. Looking at the scene in front of them, Zhou Qing thought again and again and then examined the shroud again.

[Human Emperor Shroud: This is the shroud that once wrapped the ancient Human Emperor. It has long since developed self-awareness and possesses a violent temperament, viewing all objects here as its own possessions.]

[But it is an evil being after all. If I had the four-color magic array "Taiyin Soul Refining Array", I could have trapped it for half an incense stick of time.]

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up with joy when he saw the new introduction.

"When do we start?" Number Six quietly approached and asked in a low voice, constantly on guard against the shroud above his head.

Zhou Qing did not answer immediately. His eyes were once again focused on the magical medicine that was emitting a soft glow.

The scroll yesterday was able to induce the Blood Phoenix to transform into a guardian. He didn't believe that such a precious magic medicine would have no defense means?
But just as Zhou Qing was about to speak, everything in front of their eyes suddenly went dark, and a cold and sticky touch instantly enveloped them.

And as the shroud continued to tighten, the two bodies were once again forced tightly together.

"What's going on?" Zhou Qing asked hurriedly.

Number Six was also a little confused. She had been monitoring the Shroud moving in the cocoon above. How could it suddenly appear behind the two of them?

Could it be that there are two shrouds?
But this didn't make sense at all. She had been here many times and had fought against the Shroud more than once or twice, but she had never seen a second one before.

Seeing his life force being continuously drained away, Number Six's face suddenly turned red, and he chose to self-destruct without hesitation.

The two people who turned into points of light again felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, I'm wrong this time. I was careless and didn't pay attention to that strange cloth. I disturbed you..."

Number Six was the first to break the silence, his voice full of guilt and apology.

"It's okay, we'll still be at this time tomorrow!" Zhou Qing said hurriedly, "I have something else to do here, so I'll leave first!"

After saying that, Zhou Qing left as if escaping.

Number Six opened his mouth and said, "Why do I feel like you've suffered a loss?"

Forget it, there are still two chances, she doesn't believe it.

She then entered her restricted area again but quickly came out.

Without someone to sing love songs with her, she couldn't get through those ancient ships.

A helpless sigh echoed in the silent space.

……

After Zhou Qing came out, Yan Xiaohu also came back.

"Old Four, it's time to eat!" Yan Xiaohu came back with a lunch box, fed the old hen first, and then called Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing removed the formation and then stretched his stiff body.

"Hurry up and eat! When I came back just now, I heard that the inner court students of the Five Ghosts Sect and the Myriad Flowers Valley are going to compete on the Asking Questions Platform today. Don't you like to watch the fun? Let's go take a look!"

Yan Xiaohu said excitedly.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Better less, or you'll go bankrupt."

They are the major powers in the two southwestern regions. On the surface, they seem to be fighting, but in private they are transferring benefits.

The man in white was hunted down because he discovered their secret contact.

By the way, why hasn’t he come to me in the middle of the night these past two days?
Hearing Zhou Qing's words, Yan Xiaohu immediately chuckled and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, I, your senior brother, know what's going on. I understand that small gambling can be enjoyable, but big gambling can be detrimental to the body."

Zhou Qing looked at today's class schedule and found that there was a class with Teacher Lin, so he hurriedly finished his meal and went to the Formation Hall for class.

Although he couldn't find the ignore point anymore, Professor Lin's knowledge of formations was of great help to him.

After all, the second uncle had never missed a class, and his serious attitude also infected Zhou Qing.

……

"Why are you sweating so much? From now on, no matter what you face, you must plan ahead!"

As soon as he sat down, the second uncle began to teach.

Zhou Qing looked embarrassed and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Master Lin had not arrived yet, Zhou Qing took advantage of this gap to search through the inheritance left by Senior Xuan Qingzi.

Sure enough, in the four-color magic array area, he found the [Taiyin Soul Refining Array] mentioned by the system.

The core of this magic circle requires a large amount of Yuepo Cold Jade, and the bone powder of frozen thousand-year-old corpses is used to draw the orbit of the lunar star, which is then refined into nine formation flags.

Only in this way can we limit the ability of evil things to act.

Moreover, the rare materials mentioned, and even the extremely complicated refining techniques, are simply beyond his ability at the moment.

On the contrary, No. 6 is a fourth-level formation master, so maybe she can do it.

There is also a single-color magic circle [Giant Force Amplification Array]. If it can be upgraded to a two-color magic circle, perhaps it will be possible to push open the first coffin in one go.

With the help of simulation, we can at least explore the specific situation more.

It won't happen that the second uncle will take him around. If he encounters danger, he doesn't want to be trapped there for hundreds of years or even longer.

After the class ended, the students left the formation hall one after another. As soon as Zhou Qing walked out of the hall door, the second uncle came quickly.

Then he grabbed Zhou Qing's arm and said with a smile, "Hey, kid, we agreed last time that you have to drink with me. Don't cheat."

Zhou Qing looked at the Second Master's eager expression and guessed that there was something happy going on. It was difficult to refuse at this moment, so he nodded and said, "Of course I will. Am I the kind of person who would cheat?"

"You cunning boy, you have the most clever ideas. Let's go!" The second uncle happily took Zhou Qing to his cave.

……

The second uncle's cave is decorated in a simple yet elegant manner. The surrounding walls are inlaid with many luminous pearls that emit soft light, illuminating the entire cave.

Zhou Qingze quickly took out the exquisite side dishes he had brought from the kitchen on the way and placed them on the stone table.

The second uncle warmly invited Zhou Qing to sit down, then picked up a jar of wine and skillfully opened the mud seal.

In an instant, a rich and mellow aroma of wine spread and drifted in the air.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath and exclaimed, "What a fragrant wine!"

The second uncle smiled proudly and said, "Of course not. This is a fine wine that I have treasured for many years. In the entire academy, you are the only one who has the good fortune to drink it."

After the second uncle finished speaking, he poured Zhou Qingman a glass of wine.

Looking at the light golden mist floating in the bowl of fermented rice, Zhou Qing couldn't help licking his lips.

"Such a good wine, you should ask the gentleman to taste it," Zhou Qing said with a slightly drunken smile on his face, holding up the wine bowl.

The second uncle shook his head slightly, with a helpless look on his face, "I want to, but the master hates other people giving him gifts, and he doesn't drink."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing nodded in understanding and then took a sip of wine.

In an instant, a mellow and strong smell of alcohol spread in his mouth, carrying with it an indescribable rich fragrance.

As the wine slid down his throat, Zhou Qing felt a warm current rushing straight to his abdomen. Immediately afterwards, the spiritual power in his body began to surge like a ignited flame.

The numbing, spicy and burning sensation made Zhou Qing's face turn red instantly.

"Good, good wine!" Zhou Qing couldn't help but praise it.

Looking at Zhou Qing who looked very happy, the second uncle couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Of course not! This wine is called the Immortal Drunk. For it, I, your uncle, sneaked into Taiyao Mountain and fought with that old monkey... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's do it!"

The second uncle clashed his wine bowl with Zhou Qing's, then tilted his head back and drank the entire bowl in one gulp, his throat rolling with a happy swallowing sound. Zhou Qing couldn't help but drink in big gulps, his cheeks gradually flushed, and his eyes began to blur.

This reminded him of a few years ago when Senior Sister Shi Zhen invited him to dinner at the Jade Kitchen to repay her for saving his life.

The second uncle transformed into the appearance of the third senior brother and walked in. The wine he brought was so delicious that it was unexpected that the wine today was even better.

The two of them took turns drinking, enjoying themselves to the fullest.

After three rounds of drinking, the second uncle's mood became more and more excited.

He put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up. Although his body was a little shaky, his face was full of pride.

He said, "Boy, do you know why I want to treat you to a drink today?"

Zhou Qing drank so much that his face turned red, his eyes were blurry and confused, and his head felt heavy.

He shook his head, his tongue a little tied: "No, I don't know, but it's definitely a good thing... a very good thing!"

The second uncle chuckled and said, "Uncle, let me show you something good."

After he finished speaking, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and then one spiritual seal after another appeared and surrounded his body.

Looking closely, there were actually forty-three of them.

You know, when the second uncle brought Zhou Qing to the academy, he only had thirty-seven spirit seals, and now only more than three months have passed.

This shows how talented the second uncle is, and he has never systematically studied the knowledge about formations before.

"Applause, where is the applause?" At this moment, the second uncle was staggering, looking drunk, but still looked proud.

Zhou Qing quickly drank the spiritual wine in his hand. The wine slid down the corner of his mouth and wet his lapel.

He didn't bother to wipe it, but clapped his hands, his eyes full of admiration.

After showing off, the second uncle put his arm around Zhou Qing's shoulders, his movements intimate and somewhat casual as if he was drunk.

"It's your turn now. Last time you asked me to guess, but I was too lazy to guess. Let me see. Have you made any progress by following the teacher?"

Zhou Qing's face flushed, and he waved his hands, wanting to decline, but he seemed weak due to being drunk: "I, I can't do it, I won't embarrass myself."

"Boy, you're spoiling the fun. There's no one else here, so hurry up!"

The second uncle was not willing to let him go easily, so he pushed Zhou Qing up.

Zhou Qing stood up shakily, his steps staggering as if he was stepping on cotton, and he felt a little dizzy.

He calmed himself down and said, "Then, I won't be polite."

After he finished speaking, he shouted loudly and quickly formed seals with his hands. As the spiritual power surged around his body, one spiritual seal after another appeared.

At first, twenty spirit seals appeared one after another.

Seeing this, the second uncle subconsciously raised his hand to stroke his beard, trying to put on the calm demeanor of an elder, but he was embarrassed to find that he now looked like a teenager, with nothing on his jaw.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Qing with admiration.

I have to say that this child, to a certain extent, is already at the level of a genius.

Although he is in his twenties, he is already in the late Nascent Soul stage. He is a formation master and has four flowers gathered at the top of his head. With such talent and strength, his future achievements will definitely go beyond the Soul-Slaying Realm.

Soon, another six spiritual seals came out, which made the second uncle's eyes light up.

"This kid is pretty good. I thought I was the only one who was secretly improving..."

Before the second uncle finished speaking, the number of spiritual seals around Zhou Qing appeared continuously as if they were free of charge.

One after another, each one has a different shape and shines brightly.

It didn't stop until it reached sixty-six pieces.

The second uncle widened his eyes and stared at the scene in front of him with a dull expression. The wine bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and the wine splashed everywhere, but he was completely unaware.

I gained six in three months, and you gained forty-six in three months?
Are you kidding me?
Is the gap between people so big?

The second uncle only felt his head buzzing, and the shock in his heart took a long time to calm down.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, looked at Zhou Qing, and asked in disbelief, "How on earth did you cultivate, kid?"

Zhou Qing's eyes were hazy with drunkenness. He waved his hands unsteadily and said incoherently, "Enlightenment, sudden enlightenment..."

Before he could finish his words, he leaned back and fell asleep.

The second uncle stood up and looked at Zhou Qing with a complicated expression. There was shock and confusion in his eyes, but more of it was relief.

At this moment, he didn't look drunk at all.

"You're such a bullshit genius! You're a pure monster! I can't wait to take you to the border right now to find that old bastard Xuanyuan Shuo and fulfill the bet!"

The second uncle was full of sighs.

"It's a good thing to be able to hide your weaknesses. Sleep well. This wine will also be very beneficial to your cultivation. I look forward to the day when you break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

The second uncle directly contacted Yan Xiaohu to carry the person.

"But then again, what kind of artistic conception will you comprehend by then to cross the level of Divine Transformation?"

The second uncle muttered to himself, full of curiosity and anticipation.

……

In Shenxu Heavenly Palace, No. 6 waited anxiously day after day, but Zhou Qing never showed up.

"Is he really angry?"

Number Six's face was full of self-blame. She really had no idea where the shroud came from.

Could it be that there are really two?
……

Zhou Qing just felt drowsy and as if he was in a state of confusion.

In a daze, he always felt that something was swaying beside him, and from time to time he could smell a warm breath, as if someone was getting close to smell him.

It took him a lot of effort to slowly open his heavy eyelids.

He saw an old hen standing nearby stretching its head so far that its pointed beak was almost reaching his nose, sniffing the remaining aroma of wine.

Looking at Yan Xiaohu again, he was also bent over, sniffing through his nose, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

After all, Yan Xiaohu had a special liking for alcohol. The first time Zhou Qing entered the Discipline Hall, he got drunk with him.

After getting drunk that time, in order to [reduce his presence], Yan Xiaohu actually forgot about him completely.

This caused a group of female disciples to come and take a shower, which earned Zhou Qing the embarrassing nickname of "Peeping Maniac".

At this moment, realizing that Zhou Qing had woken up, Yan Xiaohu straightened up abruptly as if he had been caught in the act, frantically adjusted his posture, and coughed twice in an attempt to remain calm.

Then he asked with concern: "Old Four, you are finally awake, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Qing rubbed his swollen and painful temples, his voice still a little hoarse. He pushed the old hen away and slowly sat up with the help of Yan Xiaohu.

"How long have I slept?" Zhou Qing asked.

Yan Xiaohu said, "It's been seven days. Junior Sister Lu has been taking care of me. She just left this morning."

Zhou Qing was shocked when he heard this.

The second uncle is really drunk.

But soon, he noticed the changes in the spiritual power in his body. Compared with before, it seemed to have become more powerful and turbulent, like a rushing river, surging wildly in his meridians.

Originally, there was still 70% distance to the great perfection of Nascent Soul, but now it has been shortened to half.

I didn’t expect that this wine is not only intoxicating, but also has such a powerful effect on spiritual practice.

For a moment, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel grateful to the second uncle.

At this moment, Yan Xiaohu came over with a flattering smile on his face.

He said pitifully, "Old Four, next time Second Uncle invites you to drink, can you take me with you? Otherwise, you can secretly get me some of that good wine. If that doesn't work, I don't mind if you hold it in your mouth and bring it back and spit it out."

When Zhou Qing heard this, he felt a strong wave of nausea and almost vomited.

"Third brother, stop making trouble!" Zhou Qing said with a helpless smile.

Yan Xiaohu said seriously, "I'm telling the truth. The wine jar is a container, and your mouth is also a container. In my eyes, there is only good wine..."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhou Qing stopped immediately.

How could you say such a thing? It's disgusting.

I don’t know if he said anything nonsense after getting drunk?
After Zhou Qing rested for a while and regained some of his energy, he suddenly thought of something.

After taking a look at his third senior brother who had gone out because of his alcohol addiction, he took out the token of Shenxu Heavenly Palace.

Sure enough, a blue light was flashing above.

Drinking will cause trouble. I will never drink too much in the future.

After hitting the spirit stone, he immediately concentrated his mind and entered into it.

……

Number 6, who was about to leave, suddenly looked delighted when he saw the red ball of light suddenly appear.

Zhou Qing immediately spoke with an apologetic look on his face: "Number Six, I'm really sorry, I've been delayed by something in the past few days."

Number Six also smiled with relief and quickly responded, "It's okay, it's okay. I just came in not long ago."

"Let's go without further ado!" Zhou Qing said.

Then the two entered the restricted area again.

This time, Zhou Qing looked at the magical medicine that could transform into a human form, took a long breath, and then went straight to identifying it.

[Ice Glaze Lingquezhi: This is a fully mature supreme divine medicine, possessing incredible power. If it can be refined into "Ice Glaze Shengling Pills", even those in the Slashing Soul Realm can easily break through one or two realms.]

After there was no further introduction, Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning to look at Number Six, I saw her looking around vigilantly and staring at the shroud above, afraid that something as embarrassing as last time would happen again.

Zhou Qing raised his hand slightly and pointed outside the cave, indicating that they should leave here and discuss in detail. Number Six understood what he meant, and the two of them quietly walked out of the cave.

"Do you want to use the [Ice Glass Spirit Bird Ganoderma] to break through?" Zhou Qing said after arriving outside the mine.

Number Six's pupils suddenly shrank.

This Bingli Lingquezhi is an extremely rare supreme divine medicine. It grows in extremely harsh environments and the chance of its birth is extremely small. Generally, few people know about it.

How could she not be surprised that the number one in front of her actually called out her name directly?

After a brief hesitation, she nodded gently and said frankly: "In addition to breaking through the realm, I also want to use it to save people!"
