The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 253 No, you can smell it even if it's buried so deep? (6k)

At this moment, two figures came in and landed.

Number Six's eyes were filled with excitement as he handed Zhou Qing a notebook.

"According to the records of the old Peng King, this place was once the palace of a pure-blooded Kunpeng. Now that you have refined the essence and blood of a true Golden Peng clan, you may be able to find some special opportunities here."

Number Six reminded.

"Kunpeng? The one that can't be cooked in one pot?" Zhou Qing said in astonishment.

Number Six frowned slightly when he heard this, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "What can't be stewed?"

Zhou Qing quickly waved his hands and explained, "Nothing. I've only heard before that there's a fish in the North Sea called Kun. Kun is so big, no one knows how many thousands of miles it is. It transforms into a bird called Peng. Peng's back is no one knows how many thousands of miles long it is."

After hearing this, Lu Yaoyao's eyes widened.

A monster thousands of miles away?

real or fake?

Number Six nodded slightly and said seriously, "It's a slip of the tongue, but it's also true. Kunpeng is the true supreme bloodline of the ancient demon race, a divine beast that possesses both the Kun and Peng forms."

At this point, her tone was filled with awe.

"It can transform into a giant Kun, master the power of the water, and roam the four seas; it can also spread its wings and become a Peng, controlling the power of the void and wind and thunder, and roaming across heaven and earth."

"Furthermore, whether it's a pure-blooded Golden Crow, Suanni, or Golden-winged Dapeng, they're all a level lower than a divine beast like this!"

Hearing this, Zhou Qing was completely shocked.

The old Peng King has reached the great perfection of the Soul-Severing Realm, even including the Peng Emperor of Taiyao Mountain. His lifelong goal is to continuously purify his bloodline and become a true member of the Golden-Winged Peng clan.

But despite this, the pure-blooded Golden-winged Roc can only be regarded as a branch in front of an existence like Kunpeng?
This Kunpeng can be said to be truly standing at the top of the divine beasts, overlooking all living beings.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Please help me find this thing!" Number Six quickly glanced around and his expression became serious.

Then he pointed to a page in Old Peng Wang's notes.

Zhou Qing then looked over.

Today, deep within the palace, I discovered a strange spiritual plant. Its entire body was shrouded in a crimson flame, with golden veins flowing through its vines. It seemed to possess a spiritual energy of its own. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was the miraculous medicine, the Crimson Flame Golden Veined Vine.

[Although this vine is still young, the medicinal power it contains is already astonishing. If it can mature, it will surely be a miracle.]

However, I remembered that everything has its own growth period. If I picked them hastily, I might damage their spiritual roots and cut off their chance for growth. So I gave up the idea of ​​picking them.

[I'll leave it here. It won't be too late to pick it next time I come in!]

When Zhou Qing saw this, a trace of regret welled up in his heart.

In the end, Old Peng Wang failed to set foot in this place again. Fate is truly fickle.

"Red Flame Golden Patterned Vine!" Zhou Qing muttered to himself after seeing the records on the notebook.

These days, there are very few magical medicines that can transform into human form, and each one can be called a spiritual object from heaven and earth.

This can be seen from the thousand-year-old blood ginseng that the second uncle obtained.

"According to the introduction in the following pages of the Old Peng King, this relic is one of Kunpeng's palaces. Although we don't know what happened in the past, it can only be opened once every thousand years."

"And we can only stay for five days at most before we are forcibly expelled, so we have to hurry." Number Six continued.

Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

It seems that the old King Peng had to go to the Eastern Region to look for other opportunities because his time was up. Who would have thought that he would die just like that? It's really sad.

"This magical medicine that can transform into a human shape will be of great use to me. If you can help me find it, I will reward you handsomely!" After saying this, No. 6 took out a communication jade slip and handed it to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing asked, "Are we going to separate?"

Number Six nodded and replied, "Yes, we'll have a better chance if we search separately. The old Peng King only explored the outer area back then and didn't go deeper, so this magical medicine should be outside."

"Furthermore, according to his notes, he has almost eliminated all dangers in the outer areas."

Since Number Six had said so, Zhou Qing had no choice but to nod and said, "I'll do my best!"

Number Six said, "Thank you. Be safe. If you need anything, just contact me using the jade slip!"

After saying that, she walked towards a floating stone platform further away.

Zhou Qing looked at the jade slip, then looked at Lu Yaoyao.

"Time is running out, so hurry up and help find it. I'm with you anyway!" Lu Yaoyao said.

Zhou Qing looked at the dilapidated buildings around him and felt a little tired.

The place is really too big, and there are at least 8,000 stone platforms like this. How can we find them all in five days?

And this is still the Outer Realm, who knows what it is like deeper down?
Kunpeng's palace is so luxurious that it is hard to imagine what his real residence looks like.

"Senior Brother Zhou, please carry me on your back!" Lu Yaoyao's eyes suddenly turned and she said with a grin.

Zhou Qing was stunned when he heard this.

Lu Yaoyao quickly explained, "When the magic medicine takes shape, there will be strange signs. If we look at it from the air, it should be easier to see. Besides, I have sharp eyes and you have a better nose. Together, we can definitely find it."

Zhou Qing flicked her forehead and said, "You might as well just say you want to ride on my neck. You're dreaming! What if the magic medicine is in a hall somewhere and you can see it from up there? Hurry and look for it step by step!"

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he took out the broken sword and groped forward.

Lu Yaoyao touched her forehead and pouted.

"When I was a kid, you never even touched me with a finger, and now you're shocking me and playing with me. What is this? Is this making up for the regrets of my childhood?"

Lu Yaoyao muttered softly and had to quickly catch up.

"Brother Zhou, look at this broken sculpture. Does it resemble your incarnation, the Golden Peng?"

"Wow, this should be a huge bathing place, right? Too bad it's dried up and stinks inside."

"Is Kunpeng really as big as you say? Is its back alone thousands of miles long? It could even carry a city on its back."

…………

Zhou Qing looked at Lu Yaoyao, who was standing in front of him with her hands behind her back and talking endlessly, and felt helpless.

We are here to explore, not to play.

Why is this girl so bold?
If you are in danger, I may not be able to take care of you.

However, just searching without any clue would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Qing simply transformed into the second form of the Golden Peng's true body. Perhaps with the help of the Golden-winged Peng's instinctive feeling, he could feel something.

Sure enough, that feeling of loneliness came over him again, and Zhou Qing had no choice but to walk forward while releasing his spiritual sense and quietly exploring the surroundings.

……

Two hours later, Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao had finished searching the fourth floating stone platform.

There really doesn't seem to be any danger.

But in the next moment, Zhou Qing, who was moving forward steadily, was suddenly tripped by something hidden and staggered.

He turned his head quickly and found that what tripped him was a corner of the plaque, half-buried in the dust and rubble.

"What happened?" Lu Yaoyao hurried back and asked with concern.

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just an ordinary object in the ruins."

After saying that, he walked forward, but stopped after just two steps.

Spreading out his hands, he looked at the dimmed and almost exhausted [Good Luck Note], and his heart inexplicably moved. He resolutely turned around and walked towards the half-buried plaque again.

At this moment, his hands instantly transformed into golden claws, sharp and sharp, and he began to dig deep with extremely careful movements.

Lu Yaoyao, her face full of curiosity, followed closely, squatted down, and asked, "Is there something good buried under here?"

Zhou Qing didn't even raise his head and responded briefly: "I don't know!"

Lu Yaoyao became even more confused and asked, "I wonder why you dug it up?"

Zhou Qing ignored her questions and continued digging with full concentration.

In the end, as he exerted force with both hands and lifted it up suddenly, an ancient plaque was dug out from the ground.

The three big words "Xiaoyao Palace" came into their eyes.

In an instant, a rich and ancient atmosphere hit me in the face, as if carrying the vicissitudes of time.

Zhou Qing's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and an indescribable sense of familiarity surged from the depths of his heart, causing his breathing to quicken.

"This... this is painted with real Peng blood!" Zhou Qing reacted quickly, his eyes full of shock.

I couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the three words.

He had once refined the third drop of true blood essence left by the old King Peng before his death. At this moment, the aura emanating from the plaque was exactly the same as that blood essence.

"It's so luxurious, really luxurious!" Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

After a long time, the words on the plaque are still bright and shining.

Lu Yaoyao was also secretly shocked when she heard Zhou Qing mumbling to himself.

But he soon looked at Zhou Qing with a look of admiration.

Dad's nose is really good. Even if it's buried deep, he can find it just like digging out a bone.

How come I didn't inherit any talent in this area?
But soon, Zhou Qing discovered that the words on the plaque began to dim, which made his face change.

"Can it still be oxidized?"

But he didn't care about anything else. After telling Lu Yaoyao not to run around, he quickly sat cross-legged. The Golden Crow Fire in his hand instantly ignited, and he began to concentrate on extracting the blood essence from the plaque.

Time passed quietly, and after a full day, the original plaque had turned into ashes, replaced by nine drops of golden blood.

Zhou Qing showed a look of joy, but after feeling it carefully, he also realized that the spiritual power of this blood was slightly insufficient. Compared with the essence and blood left by the old Peng King, it was really dwarfed.

After all, the years are too long, and most of the spiritual power contained in it must have dissipated between heaven and earth.

Fortunately, the quantity is quite large, so it can be considered a big harvest.

If you can refine them with the Yin Ling Stone, it is not impossible to enter the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm in a short period of time!
Lu Yaoyao, who had been guarding the whole process, was also excited when she saw that the refining was successful.

Zhou Qing said generously: "Everyone who sees it will get a share. I'll give you three drops!"

Lu Yaoyao repeatedly shook her head and refused, saying, "No, you need to cultivate the Emperor Brilliance Sutra more than I do. Besides, my mindset has changed now, so these strong and hot things are actually bad for me."

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

At this moment, the jade slip given by No. 6 shook and a sound was heard.

[How's your search going? Are you in danger?] The two looked at each other. Lu Yaoyao reacted quickly, snatching the jade slip and pretending to be out of breath. She said, "Don't worry, sister. My brother and I are working hard to find it."

Number Six's response came quickly: [Sorry for the trouble, please be sure to pay attention to safety!]

After saying this, the jade slip became silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing hurriedly got up from the ground, with a guilty look on his face, and urged, "Let's go!"

Lu Yaoyao also nodded repeatedly.

It is not good for the father and daughter to deceive their mother together. It would be embarrassing if they were caught.

Three days later, the two had searched more than forty platform cities, but still found nothing.

In one more day, they will all be expelled, and the next time it opens will be a thousand years later.

As for the [Good Luck Post], it had been used up long ago.

Now they are just like headless flies.

"By the way, maybe we can try the four-color flowers!" Soon, Zhou Qing suddenly remembered something.

That time in Old Peng Wang's cave, the four-colored flower discovered the dead tree of the [Ancient Tea Tree of Enlightenment] and caused unusual movements, which prevented him from missing it.

It is obvious that it has a natural and keen perception of the spiritual plants in heaven and earth.

"If I enter it with my soul, I wonder if I can track down the trace of the magical medicine?"

Zhou Qing had a sudden thought and acted immediately.

He immediately closed his eyes, controlled his soul to slowly come to the four-colored flower, and then tried to slowly blend into it.

A wonderful sense of fit suddenly came over him, which made Zhou Qing's eyes suddenly light up. He was secretly happy in his heart. He didn't expect that this method would actually work.

After all, his research on four-color flowers has so far focused on three aspects.

They are four types of Nascent Soul enhancement, prevention of body possession, and prevention of invasion of other people's spiritual consciousness.

Soon, as his soul completely merged with the four-colored flower, Zhou Qing's powerful mental power suddenly spread out in all directions with the flower as the center.

Unfortunately, nothing was gained this time.

However, this mental power can instantly sense the entire stone platform, greatly saving the search time.

"Let's go to the next one!" Zhou Qing said decisively. After that, he pulled Lu Yaoyao and ran towards another floating stone platform.

In just a few breaths, it was the next one, and the next one...

Lu Yaoyao was a little worried. After Zhou Qing fell back down, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhou, aren't we going too fast? Even if we want to fool around, we should at least look around a bit, right?"

Zhou Qing didn't say anything, but stopped in surprise.

At this moment, in his perception, the east side of the stone platform seemed to be filled with extremely vigorous vitality.

However, the source of that vitality was so ethereal that he could not locate its exact location.

"There's hope!" Zhou Qing couldn't hide his excitement, he exclaimed softly, then pulled Lu Yaoyao and ran quickly towards the east.

"The spiritual energy here is so rich!" As soon as Lu Yaoyao's feet touched the ground, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The air around seemed to be dyed a light golden color by the rich spiritual energy. With a light breath, I could feel a coolness going down my throat and into my lungs.

The meridians throughout the body seemed to be cheering.

Zhou Qing was equally shocked.

After all, of the two magical shape-shifting medicines he had seen, one was in the restricted area of ​​No. 6, and he could only look at it from afar.

The other one was even half dead. Although the thousand-year-old blood ginseng was saved by the second uncle, it became much more cautious and no longer leaked any of its medicinal power.

The magical medicine in front of him, which has not yet appeared, exudes spiritual power that makes him excited.

But he soon hushed Lu Yaoyao and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

The last person I saw this [Red Flame Golden Patterned Vine] when I was young was probably the old Peng King.

Now, after a long time of transformation, it has stayed in such a place with abundant spiritual power and few people, and no one has posed a threat to it. I think its vigilance will be greatly reduced.

But as a spiritual medicine, once it senses danger, it is very likely to escape by instinct or even launch an attack.

What's more, it is still unclear whether this is the [Red Flame Golden Vine] they have been searching for.

Afterwards, Zhou Qing silently opened his double pupils, and with the unique perspective of his double pupils, he suddenly discovered that the golden airflow was strangely coming from behind them.

Zhou Qing raised his hand and gestured to Lu Yaoyao to keep quiet and not move, then he crouched down and carefully groped his way along the wreckage.

Not long after, he saw a golden snake coiled up on a piece of broken tiles, sleeping peacefully.

Zhou Qing was overjoyed when he saw this. He quickly left on tiptoe and took out the communication jade slip to contact Number Six.

There really is a magical medicine for transforming into another form, but who knows where the original body is hidden. It all depends on No. 6 to find it!

In just a few breaths, Number Six arrived with an excited look on his face.

From repairing the six-color restriction, transforming into a golden roc to enter, and finding the magic medicine, Number Six was filled with gratitude towards Zhou Qing at this moment, and for a moment he didn't know how to express it.

"You step back and leave the rest to me!" After Number Six softly instructed the two of them, he headed in the direction Zhou Qing pointed.

After the two retreated to a safe area, Lu Yaoyao gave Zhou Qing a thumbs up with admiration.

"I knew that nothing in this world can stump you!" Lu Yaoyao said.

Zhou Qing shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but his eyes were always fixed on the direction where No. 6 left, not daring to relax at all.

Roar!
The next moment, a terrifying beast roar suddenly came from the front, carrying endless majesty and deterrence, followed by a violent earthquake.

The expressions of the two people suddenly changed.

"Is this magical medicine that can transform you into a human being so powerful?" Zhou Qing was shocked.

Soon, they saw Number Six quickly fly up, and a giant turtle opened its bloody mouth and almost swallowed her in one gulp.

This turtle is unusually large, like a moving towering mountain, and even its color is inky black.

The terrifying aura emanating from his body sent chills down Zhou Qing's soul, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Run!" Number Six shouted anxiously, then quickly formed seals with his hands. In an instant, the giant turtle's huge body was wrapped in a thick layer of ice.

But this only delayed for less than two breaths, and fine cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the ice.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a deafening roar, the giant turtle broke through the ice and chased No. 6 again.

"Give the things... back to me!" The giant turtle spoke in human language, looking very much like the Fire Crocodile King in the third coffin.

Zhou Qing was terrified when he saw all this, and quickly pulled Lu Yaoyao away.

You know, Number Six is ​​in the late stage of the Soul-Severing Realm, but her attacks on the opponent are like tickling.

It is clear that this giant turtle has at least reached the Great Perfection of the Soul-Severing Realm, or even stronger.

Could it be that the Red Flame Golden Patterned Vine was too young before, so no one noticed it?

Now that it is mature, some terrifying creature from the depths of the ruins will come out and claim it for itself?
No wonder the old Peng King, who had reached the great perfection of the Soul-Severing Realm, only dared to explore the periphery and did not dare to go deeper.

It is really hard to imagine what kind of secrets are hidden in this palace left behind by Kunpeng.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, he had acted cautiously before and did not rashly alarm them, otherwise he would have died without knowing how.

Lu Yaoyao's face was full of worry, her eyes were red, and she looked back from time to time.

Zhou Qing quickly pulled her to another stone platform and concealed his aura.

It seems that No. 6 has succeeded, or the giant turtle never thought that after such a long time, someone would break in and steal things from under its nose.

"Don't worry, she's so powerful, she should be fine. We'll be out of here in just one more day at most!"

Zhou Qing whispered comforting words, and Lu Yaoyao had no choice but to nod, but she also quickly put her hands together and muttered a prayer for Number Six.

Roar!
The roar and attack sounds of the giant turtle were heard again outside. The deafening roar made Zhou Qing feel that the stone platform he was on was like a candle in the wind, which could shatter at any time.

Fortunately, the noise outside gradually subsided after a while, and the surroundings fell into dead silence again...

In this way, the two of them stayed in agony for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, ripples appeared all around them, and then an irresistible suction force appeared out of nowhere, pulling their bodies.

Before they could react, they were excluded.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the center of the island. Everything around me was quiet, with only the sea breeze blowing gently.

"Are you okay?" Number Six's cold voice suddenly sounded.

When they turned around, they saw that her clothes were torn and stained with blood, which was dripping down her arms and the corners of her clothes.

Her hair was even more messy and stuck to her pale cheeks.

When Lu Yaoyao saw this, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

She immediately ran up and carefully supported Number Six, saying in a tearful voice, "Sister, how come you are so badly injured!"

Zhou Qingze stood there in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief.

He couldn't imagine what kind of battle No. 6, such a powerful person among the people he had seen, had experienced in just one day?
Facing Lu Yaoyao's question, Number Six shook his head slightly and said comfortingly, "I'm fine, don't worry, but I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for a favor."

Zhou Qing finally came to his senses and quickly walked to Number Six, bowing and saying, "Senior, if you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me."

Number Six pursed his lips and Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly.

……

Above the clouds, a small flying boat was flying quietly, and the person controlling this spaceship turned out to be Zhou Qing.

Number Six was recovering from his injuries in the rear cabin.

After all, that island was not only known to Yan Sen, but it was also the territory of the Demon King. Now that she was seriously injured, it would undoubtedly be more dangerous for her to stay there.

If you are not careful, you may encounter unexpected events.

In this way, time passed day by day.

When the flying boat passed through a vast mountain range, Zhou Qing looked from afar and saw that the demonic energy in the mountains was rising into the sky, and the thick demonic clouds were like black waves, surging endlessly.

He even saw clearly that in the depths of the mountains, the two demon kings, Jiao Huang and Qingluo Beast, were fighting fiercely in their original forms.

In addition, on the edge of the mountains, there were some border soldiers watching the movements over there vigilantly.

It seems that the Spider Emperor's territory is now caught in a frenzy of division by various forces.

Zhou Qing didn't dare to stop and quickly controlled the flying boat to speed through this troubled area...
