The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 239: A Luxurious Gift from the Former Master (6k)

"What are you doing, little brat?" As soon as the second uncle got ashore, he ran towards the third coffin.

But he found that Zhou Qing actually ran to the bottom of the ancient tree, sticking his butt up and digging something frantically.

After being shouted at twice but received no response, the second uncle didn't care about anything else at this moment and immediately pushed with all his strength.

The three corpse wax crows sometimes transformed into gods and sometimes killed souls. Even he could not withstand them for a moment.

The moment the coffin lid was pushed open, three corpse wax crows walked out from the darkness on the other side of the blood river, their eyes fixed on the second uncle with cold eyes.

"Boy, are you really looking for death?" Seeing this, the second uncle quickly stepped into the coffin and shouted at Zhou Qing at the top of his voice.

At this moment, Zhou Qing also rushed over with his heart pounding, and was instantly immersed in it.

The second uncle immediately closed the lid the second before the three corpse wax crows were about to fall.

……

The land of magma!

When the two men fell down, the second uncle started cursing.

"Crazy, you're really a little lunatic, you know what you just did..."

"Give!"

Before the second uncle finished his rage, Zhou Qing immediately took out a small box and handed it to him.

The second uncle grabbed it angrily and said unhappily, "No matter what it is, you shouldn't take your life... My goodness, is this spiritual soil?"

When he saw clearly what was in the box, the second uncle's pupils suddenly shrank and his eyes were full of disbelief.

He immediately looked at Zhou Qing, his eyes full of suspicion: "I have thought more than once that you are the tomb guardian beast here. How did you know there was such a good thing under that tree?"

Zhou Qing wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I was just guessing, I didn't expect it to be true."

After a pause, he continued, "Zhang Wanbao gave me a jade slip about natural treasures. I accidentally learned about the function of spiritual soil. Plus, you have ten thousand year old blood ginseng, so it's just what I need."

"I'm forcing you to come here this time, so you have to show some sincerity."

Seeing Zhou Qing’s flushed face, the second uncle was moved.

"Little Bloody will definitely like it. Thank you. I won't dare to take such a risk next time!" The second uncle patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder.

Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly and said, "It's indeed quite dangerous. I only dug a little bit, but I actually felt like the tree was going to attack me."

After hearing this, the second uncle couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course not. Don't you see that it is maintaining the beating of the heart? It is a real sacred tree!" said the second uncle.

Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly and said he could verify it during the next simulation.

Then he looked at the pile of spiritual soil in the storage bag, and Zhou Qing couldn't help but grin.

No wonder the sacred tree was hostile to him. He had indeed dug too much.

"Let's go!" The second uncle pulled Zhou Qing up and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When they reappeared, they had already reached a crater.

There are twelve Flame Spirit Flowers growing here.

Zhou Qing was excited when he saw this. He quickly and carefully took out the spirit box and shovel and started digging.

"What's the use of this thing? It's not worth much money!" The second uncle looked at Zhou Qing's serious expression and said with disdain.

He had been trapped in this small world for many years and had seen countless spiritual plants like this.

At most, it's just a side door and extremely difficult to find.

"Finally... I've waited for... you!" At this moment, the angry roar of the Fire Crocodile suddenly came from a lava area in the distance.

The second uncle immediately took out the Golden Crow Fan and said hurriedly, "This guy has thick skin and flesh, and he has transformed into the blood of the Ancestral Crocodile. He is extremely difficult to deal with. You need to hurry."

When Zhou Qing saw this, his heart tightened and he immediately sped up his hands.

"go!"

After the last Flame Spirit Flower was put into the jade box, the second uncle grabbed Zhou Qing and flew straight into the air.

Roar!
The Flame Crocodile suddenly rushed out from the magma area and let out an earth-shaking roar.

Then it flapped its huge wings, bringing up a gust of hot wind. Wherever it passed, magma splashed and hot air currents swept over, chasing the two of them madly.

"You beast, we are so familiar with each other, there is really no need to send me off!" The second uncle laughed.

Then, he suddenly threw out the Golden Crow Fan in his hand, and as he formed seals with his hands, Xiong Hun's spiritual power injected into it.

In an instant, golden rays of light shot out from the fan like sharp blades, carrying scorching heat and heading straight for the Fire Crocodile King.

Boom boom boom!
What followed was a series of explosions and roars.

"You wait!"

The Fire Crocodile King's eyes were red, and he let out an unwilling roar. His huge body swayed in the air for a few times, and then fell heavily into the lava, splashing huge water.

"This Golden Crow Fan is truly a good thing!"

The second uncle liked it more and more as he looked at it. He quickly put it away, pulled Zhou Qing, pushed open the coffin lid and jumped out.

Zhou Qing was also very excited, as all the necessary materials were finally available!
"What are you doing standing still? Help!"

Seeing Zhou Qing in a daze, the second uncle quickly ran to the first coffin and shouted.

Zhou Qing went over immediately, and the two of them pushed open the coffin lid together. Without waiting for the corpse wax crow to come out, they jumped in.

After landing, Zhou Qing quickly became alert.

Compared to the last simulation, there was no longer that disgusting smell of blood in the air, and instead there was a faint smell of decay.

"The preparations this time aren't very sufficient. I still only have two [Invisibility Talismans]. Why don't you just forget about it? As a tomb guardian beast, you shouldn't need these things!"

After the second uncle took out two runes, he looked at Zhou Qing with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Zhou Qing quickly said, "Master, I'm really not a tomb guardian beast. If you don't believe me, try pinching me. The person standing in front of you is a living person."

"Boy, in this world even a piece of stone can become a spirit, let alone..." Before the second uncle finished speaking, a low roar suddenly came from the surroundings.

Immediately afterwards, more than thirty wandering souls in the Nascent Soul Realm, as if sensing the breath of living people, emerged from the mist and pounced directly on them with their fangs and claws bared.

Zhou Qing's expression changed and he immediately looked at the second uncle.

Suddenly stunned.

Because the second uncle disappeared, to be exact, he used the [Invisibility Talisman] to hide all his aura.

"Uncle, you can't play like this--" Zhou Qing said hurriedly.

The second uncle's leisurely voice sounded at the side: "The number of talismans is limited. Please wait a moment. In case you are in the same group, I can still save one."

What else could Zhou Qing do? He secretly groaned in his heart, and immediately flashed lightning arcs in his hands, ready to meet the enemy.

Although his [Reduced Presence] had been upgraded to level six, and there was a 90% chance that the entire Spirit Transformation Realm would ignore him, he did not dare to be complacent.

Fortunately, when those wandering souls were less than three meters away from Zhou Qing, they began to become confused because they lost the figure of the second uncle.

Then they ignored Zhou Qing and went their separate ways.

"Oh my god, you still say you are not the tomb guardian beast here? Can you introduce yourself? Are you opening or closing the door?" The second uncle said in shock.

Zhou Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They are definitely doing this on purpose, just like last time. Maybe it was the Ghost Emperor who did it on purpose."

"Hehe——" The second uncle laughed dryly, with a hint of elusive meaning in his laughter.

Although he was joking, he was also a little curious. Why didn't these wandering souls attack Zhou Qing?
It was like this last time, and it was like this this time too. He really couldn't figure it out.

Could it be that the invisible amplification brought about by Zhou Qing's four flowers gathering at the top of his head was causing the problem?
Just when Zhou Qing was about to make up another excuse, a wandering spirit in the Divine Transformation Realm suddenly roared and rushed towards Zhou Qing.

When Zhou Qing saw this, his face was full of excitement.

I told you, they can’t all be blind.

"Uncle, look—"

Seeing this, the second uncle was even more confused and had no choice but to stick an [Invisibility Talisman] on Zhou Qing.

The next moment, Zhou Qing disappeared from the spot.

The wandering soul was a little confused, and left with a roar.

"Strange, really strange!" the second uncle said to himself.

However, Rune's time is limited, and he doesn't have time to think about these things here.

Don't let it be like last time, where one person's thighs were exposed and the other's butt was exposed and kept shaking around in an awkward position.

Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the old hen in the second uncle's arms. There was no talisman on it.

It was only because of the close contact with the second uncle that he was able to hide his figure.

"Second Master, I have an idea that can save me a talisman..."

"I have an idea too. Just carry me on your back!" The second uncle said first.

Zhou Qing's face twitched.

This is my word.

"You're joking, sir. You're a Soul Severing Realm expert. My slow pace would actually hinder me. Besides, I'm light, otherwise—"

"You are the one who is against Tiangang, right? Let's go!" After saying this, the second uncle walked straight forward.

Zhou Qing smiled awkwardly and quickly followed.

Soon, the two found fresh bones and tattered clothes on the ground, but the storage bag was missing.

"Impossible!" Zhou Qing frowned slightly. He came in just to pick up the storage bag.

Moreover, during the simulation, almost everyone's storage bags were hanging on the clothes of these skeletons, but now they are nowhere to be seen.

Although those wandering souls have the strength of the Nascent Soul and God Transformation realms, they actually have no independent consciousness at all.

It simply relies on swallowing and instinct, so it shouldn't deliberately collect it.

"Is there anyone still alive here? Or did the Ghost King order the wandering souls to collect the storage bags?" Zhou Qing muttered to himself, feeling a little uneasy.

The two continued to move forward. Along the way, they found that none of the bones they encountered had storage bags. This phenomenon made Zhou Qing feel depressed.

"That place is-"

Soon, he saw a familiar stone forest and Zhou Qing ran over quickly.

He then closed his eyes, thought carefully, and walked about a hundred meters east. Sure enough, he found a mummy lying there quietly. But at that moment, a wandering spirit at the Nascent Soul Realm was turning Xuanjizi's mummy over and pulling his storage bag from his waist.

Just as Zhou Qing was about to take action, the second uncle quickly stopped him and said, "Let me do it."

After the second uncle finished speaking, he instantly appeared behind the wandering soul and pointed a finger at the back of its head.

"Strange, there is no consciousness or memory at all, but it must be under the order of the Ghost Emperor!"

After the second uncle finished speaking, his brows were furrowed, his face full of confusion. Then he snapped his fingers, and the wandering soul immediately turned into a ball of black smoke and dissipated into the air.

Xuanjizi's storage bag was caught steadily by Zhou Qing.

"You were the first to discover this mummy, so I'm giving it to you!" The second uncle said, and continued walking forward.

Zhou Qing expressed his gratitude and put it away.

After all, the second uncle didn't come in for these storage bags. His real purpose was to verify whether the Ghost King was the real Canglong?

After a long time, Zhou Qing discovered that his feet began to appear, and this time it was the second uncle's head.

The two of them couldn't help but speed up until they arrived at Hongta Mountain.

"Can it be broken?" Seeing that the tower was still intact, a glimmer of burning expectation flashed in the second uncle's eyes. He turned to look at Zhou Qing and asked.

Zhou Qing looked embarrassed and said helplessly: "Master, there are three-color restrictions on it, and I have just condensed a thousand spirit seals."

"Just give it a try. As long as I can make a small hole, I have a way!"

As the second uncle spoke, he gently placed the old hen in his arms on the ground, a smile on his face.

He coaxed it, "Chicken, go in and set an example for us first, and then I'll treat you to a delicious meal!"

As soon as the old hen landed on the ground, all the feathers on her body stood up and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The wandering souls around seemed to sense the anger and immediately let out sharp roars and rushed towards this side.

Upon seeing this, the second uncle hurriedly reached out and pushed the old hen towards the tower gate, but the three-color restriction directly manifested spiritual patterns, blocking it out.

"Hey, you guy, can't you ignore the ban?" The second uncle was angry and anxious. In desperation, he had to pick up the old hen again and hide his body for it again.

The wandering souls that rushed over circled around for a few times, and when they lost their target, they roared unwillingly a few times and slowly dispersed.

Zhou Qing also breathed a sigh of relief and had to go forward to comfort him: "It is undergoing a second metamorphosis. Maybe it can only ignore some of the one-color restrictions for now. Let me give it a try first."

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, a thousand spiritual seals floated out and began to try to break the restrictions on the tower.

After a full hour, Zhou Qing stood up with a tired face, and then shook his head at the second uncle.

This is not an ordinary three-color restriction. It involves countless rare spiritual patterns, and can be called the elite among the elite.

"If I only have one chance here, I will definitely break it with brute force. If I can't get it myself, I won't give it to anyone else!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across the second uncle's eyes, but he immediately lost his temper and said helplessly, "We are regular customers. If it doesn't work this time, maybe it will work next time."

"Let's go!"

The second uncle looked up and saw that one of the two men's arms had appeared on both sides. The effect of the invisibility talisman was about to disappear completely. He no longer hesitated and decisively increased his speed.

Soon, the situation ahead became extremely cold, and the two men couldn't help but slow down their pace.

There was dark fog ahead, and only some vague outlines could be seen. As they got closer, the fog gradually thinned.

As the scene before them gradually became clear, the two were so shocked that they stood still.

A gloomy city suddenly appeared before their eyes. The city walls were engraved with strange runes, which were constantly flashing with a dark green light.

Above the city gate, there is a huge plaque with the words "Yinxu" written on it. The font is distorted and hideous, revealing an endless sense of oppression.

Countless wandering souls are rushing in madly.

"They are building their own capital!" Seeing how well-trained these wandering souls were, the second uncle was full of disbelief.

This would never be possible without a ruler to lead.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He could feel that these wandering souls were all doing their jobs without any confusion or hesitation. This was the most terrifying thing.

God knows how many wandering souls there are in this small world, and they are not afraid of death at all. They can even complete their transformation again and again by sucking blood and devouring.

At this moment, a wandering soul in the Divine Transformation Realm floated out from the ghost town, holding a storage bag in its hand.

Then he suddenly stopped less than three meters away from the two of them, and then slowly spoke. His voice was hoarse and low, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

"The Emperor has ordered... the final... gift... to leave... close... the entrance..."

Although Youhun's voice was halting, the two of them understood the general meaning.

Looking at the storage bag that was handed to him, the second uncle felt so incredible.

At this moment, he was already extremely certain that what Zhou Qing saw might really be the former Canglong Zhenren.

Otherwise, why?

Because he's handsome?
"Half a stick of... incense, seal the... coffin lid!" The wandering soul spoke again, then turned and left.

The second uncle frowned slightly: "You even know about the coffin!"

You know, when he was in the third coffin, he had hinted at the Fire Crocodile during the fight, and he had no idea about the outside world.

And it couldn't get out, as if some force was blocking it.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing quickly turned his gaze to the second uncle, his eyes full of questions.

The second uncle said in a deep voice, "Take the storage bag. It's obviously not for me. Didn't you see that the wandering spirit was staring at you the whole time?"

"I didn't expect this [Invisibility Talisman] to be completely useless in front of the Ghost Emperor."

Zhou Qing looked at the storage bag floating in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and slowly reached out to take it.

Then he bowed deeply and respectfully towards the gloomy city.

I wanted to call him "Master", but I swallowed the words back when they came to my lips.

After all, strictly speaking, he had only seen Canglong Zhenren in a simulated environment, and the current Ghost King had never seen his disciple at all.

If you yell like that, many things won't be clear.

Moreover, the current situation is very obvious. Master must have some unspeakable difficulties.

Rumble!
At this moment, there was a sudden loud roar above the head, which hurt the eardrums and caused the air around them to tremble.

Seeing this scene, the second uncle did not stop and pulled Zhou Qing straight into the air.

At this moment, he has found the answer in his heart.

Back then, after he entered the third coffin and was trapped, something must have happened that he didn't know about.

Master Canglong even gained an opportunity for himself, but looking at the current situation, the price he paid was probably extremely heavy.

As the two people came out of the coffin, iron chains made of black mist suddenly appeared on the entire coffin, wrapping it tightly, and then gradually returned to normal.

The second uncle was unwilling to give up, so he stepped forward and tried to push the coffin again, but found that the coffin did not move at all.

It was as if an indestructible seal was imposed from the inside, completely isolating it from the outside world.

"What a pity——" Seeing this scene, the second uncle sighed.

He missed out on so many good things.

If I had known this earlier, I would have destroyed Hongta Mountain.

Seeing that the corpse wax crow was about to come out, the two hurried across the river and stopped at the passage.

"Let me see what goodies your master left for you. Don't try to use any tricks like body possession. I almost forgot, you have the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, so you are not afraid of these."

The second uncle was in a very good mood. In the blink of an eye, he put aside his previous regrets, reached out to take the storage bag from Zhou Qing's hand, and examined it carefully.

Soon, a flash of shock that was hard to conceal flashed across his eyes, and he cried out, "It turned out to be such a rare, top-grade Yin Ling Jade!"

As he spoke, the second uncle turned his wrist, and a piece of jade as big as a fist appeared in his palm.

This jade exudes a strange inky black color all over, and its surface is covered with irregular cracks, but the energy contained in it is extremely strange, like life and death.

The two intertwined and entangled with each other, just like when Zhou Qing refined the number one Yin and Yang Qi.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing came over curiously, staring at the strange jade.

The second uncle carefully checked the storage bag again and couldn't help but sigh, "Fourteen pieces in total, and all of them are top-grade. It seems that these are specially reserved for the Thirteenth Peak Master and you."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Qing looked confused.

The second uncle had a complicated expression and sighed, "This Yin Ling Jade is a rare treasure that is priceless."

"Let me tell you this, someone once got a similar piece of jade. Of course, it was nowhere near as good or as big as this one."

"Even so, the final private transaction price was thirty top-grade lightning-attribute spirit stones."

When Zhou Qing heard this, he could no longer suppress his inner shock. He took a deep breath and then looked at Yin Lingyu with a fiery gaze, his eyes full of disbelief.

"This thing is so valuable?" Zhou Qing said in amazement.

Thunder attribute spirit stones are even rarer than the five elements spirit stones, not to mention thirty of them at once.

It seems that its rarity has exceeded common knowledge, and even the jade slip given by Zhang Wanbao did not include it.

Seeing Zhou Qing's shocked face, the second uncle simply patiently explained the situation to Zhou Qing.

"It has only one function, which is to improve the cultivation of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. It is especially helpful for those who have similar comprehension of their own artistic conception."

"If you bring these to your master and the others, I guarantee that within three years, all the peak masters of the entire Taiqing Sect will break through to the perfection of the Spiritual Transformation Realm!"

Hearing what the second uncle said, Zhou Qing's face was filled with horror again.

All the masters of the five major sects in the Eastern Region, except Sikong Yan, are almost all stuck in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

This distance, which seems to be only one step away, is like an insurmountable chasm, trapping countless strong people here.

Even his own master, who had a feeling last time and went into seclusion with the Five Elements Top-Grade Spirit Stones he had returned to him, ended up in failure.

The previous headmaster, Canglong Zhenren, passed away at this state.

The several supreme elders were a generation behind the master and had only just managed to break through to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"This thing is quite amazing. It's harmful to Yuanying, but useless to Zhanling. He gave away so many things this time. It's obvious that this is his last time to do something for Taiqing Sect."

The second uncle's expression was moved, and his tone was filled with emotion and respect.
