The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 87 The Secret of Shenxu Heavenly Palace (6k)

So far, he has never even heard of a level five cultivation country, let alone a level seven. Such a terrifying country, I am afraid that any person at the city lord level can easily destroy their Shengwu Dynasty.

But despite this, this seventh-level cultivation country actually perished. This is too unbelievable.

Seeing that Red Ball No. 1 remained silent and didn't withdraw, Blue Ball No. 6 felt relieved and continued to explain to Zhou Qingpu, "As the image appears, Shenxu Tiangong will be able to immediately lock onto its location and perfectly replicate it."

“Not only can you experience it yourself, but you can also invite others to explore it together.”

"As I just said, the scenes in the picture are all reproduced one-to-one. In other words, you can completely simulate exploration inside, and everyone has three chances to revive each time."

"Then, when you feel you've explored most of the places you need to explore, you can head to your real location and begin your true search for opportunities."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing's eyes were filled with disbelief. This was too outrageous.

"Alright, alright, Number One probably knows better than us. I... well, Number One, please invite us in for a look. There are only four of us right now, and we're all in different cultivation countries, separated by countless miles. It's fate that we can meet here like this."

Green ball number four said with a grin.

"I agree. Of course, if you're willing, you're welcome to join me in exploring the restricted area I've seen. It's been over four hundred years, and I haven't even been able to get past the second level. This has severely dampened my confidence." Green Ball No. 5 said dejectedly.

Blue Ball Number Six said, "Forget about your place. The three of us couldn't get through even with our combined strength. I guess you haven't reached that level yet. There's no way you can get through."

Zhou Qing's heart was suddenly shocked when he heard the conversation between the three people.

This time span of several hundred years shows that their cultivation is unfathomable and far beyond one's imagination.

If you rashly enter their picture, or invite them into your place, you will expose your own cultivation level if you are not careful.

Once these cunning guys follow the clues to find him, not only will he be in danger, but the entire Taiqing Sect may also suffer destruction.

"Next time!" Zhou Qing changed his voice, but once the voice was uttered, it turned into a tone that was difficult to distinguish between male and female.

interesting!
After hearing this, the three light balls were all a little disappointed.

The world is vast, and there are countless restricted areas everywhere. They actually want to go in and take a look.

Then, Zhou Qing's mind moved, and he entered his own picture.

Under the gaze of the other three people, the image of red ball number one was instantly filled with red color, and nothing could be seen.

"He seems to be a cold and aloof person, and he is extremely cautious!" After No. 4 said this, he sighed and disappeared.

Number Five said, "I think it might be a little strange at first, but it will get better later. Number Six, come back and try my painting when you have time."

Number Six hummed softly, then looked at the image of Zhou Qing before disappearing completely.

…………

At this moment, Zhou Qing only felt something solid under his feet. Before he could look around, a terrifying sense of gravity hit him in the face.

Caught off guard, he almost fell to his knees.

Looking around again, he didn't expect that it started from the gravity zone.

"This time it's not a ball of light, but it's like the real body entering!" Zhou Qing touched his body and couldn't help but admire.

"To be recognized by the first level of the Shenxu Heavenly Palace, it can be seen that the things deep in the cave must be extraordinary. After all, the entire Taiqing Sect was established because of it." Zhou Qing murmured to himself.

I don’t know where numbers 4, 5 and 6 come from?

He should not be from the Shengwu Dynasty.

Roar--

Just as he was thinking, a familiar roar suddenly came from the corridor ahead.

"It's those wandering souls!" Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

It's just a simulation anyway, so he might as well have fun with it. Just in case he gets a chance to be sent in next time, he can't guarantee that he'll be so lucky every time and be completely ignored.

He tapped the storage bag lightly, and a broken sword flashing with silver lightning arcs appeared in his hand.

Looking at the three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and a large group of Qi Condensation Realm wandering souls rushing out from the opposite side, Zhou Qing shouted loudly and then rushed forward.

In an instant, the entire corridor was filled with thunder and lightning, with only a ray of light constantly moving through it.

The sword force fell like a violent storm, and every time the broken sword was swung, it was accompanied by dazzling lightning and deafening thunder.

Many wandering souls continued to dissipate amidst the shrill screams.

Until Zhou Qing was panting and sweating profusely.

Three Foundation Establishment Realm souls and more than twenty Qi Condensation Realm wandering souls have disappeared at this moment.

"As expected of a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, I can still handle many people of the same level with ease. However, I cannot be careless. These wandering souls do not have various skills and magical powers, and they are rather rigid!"

Zhou Qing slowly stood up under the tremendous pressure and began to move inside step by step.

But before he had taken a few steps, roars came again from the depths of the corridor, followed by more cold and gloomy air.

"There's a second wave?" Zhou Qing was a little shocked.

Yes, the two times I entered it, no matter whether they were in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Qi Condensation Realm, or the Golden Core Realm wandering souls that were attracted later, they had never been killed like today, so I never knew that there would be another wave after one wave.

It seems that everyone has underestimated this gravity channel.

"In that case, then come on. I want to see where my limits are."

A fierce look flashed in Zhou Qing's eyes, and soon, six wandering souls who had reached the perfect stage of foundation building appeared.

"kill!"

Zhou Qing raised his sword and charged forward again...

After an unknown amount of time, a numbing feeling of weightlessness came over him, leaving Zhou Qing in a trance.

Looking again, he appeared in this space again.

"Was I dead just now?" Zhou Qing hurriedly touched his neck and then noticed that he had turned back into a red light ball.

Not long ago, he had faced the fourth wave, a total of ten wandering souls at the Perfect Foundation Establishment Stage. He was already nearly exhausted from the first three waves, and the terrifying gravity left him powerless. Finally, two wandering souls attacked him from behind, piercing his neck and exiting.

At that moment, he felt his heartbeat quickening and his life force slipping away. Before he could react, he was outside.

"Does this count as wasting an opportunity?" Zhou Qing felt that everything was so wonderful, it was really a simulation.

Not only that, everything seemed to start over again, and the spiritual power that had been lost before returned to its peak state.

However, the combat skills and experience against the enemy remained firmly in his heart.

"Interesting! I want to see how many waves there are if we push forward all the way."

Zhou Qing was curious and rushed in again...

Early in the morning, Zhou Qing opened the window, looked at the pale sky, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at the token in his hand with a wry smile on his face.

The second chance was still lost in the fourth wave, but the third time I managed to get through it with difficulty and could already see the stone mill key on the opposite side.

If he had been given a little more time, he would have been able to rush over, but the fifth wave of wandering souls appeared.

"It seems that as long as we are in a gravity zone, those wandering souls will appear continuously, with no limit to their number at all!"

But he was a little confused, as the cave should consist of two parts.

One is the gravity zone, which was set up by Taiqing Sect itself to prevent experts from breaking in and seeing the real secrets of Taiqing Sect.

Moreover, there seemed to be a terrifying existence lurking in the gravity zone, causing the Supreme Elder and the Sect Leader to not dare to break in easily, for fear that the thing would be awakened and unable to distinguish between friend and foe.

One can only use the Qi Condensation Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm, or at most the Golden Core Realm, to try to enter and open the key.

The real core is the strange scenes that trapped the second uncle.

But now, he saw with his own eyes that the wandering soul came out from the depths of the corridor, but the Supreme Elder and the others did not know where this thing was hiding.

Now, after several waves of simulations, he can basically conclude that these wandering souls are also a kind of trial, and come from the depths of the corridor.

If you don't want them to come in, just send a large number of wandering souls to block the door. Why do you release wandering souls of different levels according to the cultivation level of those entering, and one wave after another?

Are these two combined into one?
Zhou Qing couldn't figure it out, and didn't want to think about it anymore.

I was just shocked by the horror of this [Shenxu Heavenly Palace]. I could actually lock the location of the restricted area that others had seen in an instant and replicate it perfectly.

It can be seen that its level is very high. Remember, this is only the first level.

"Each time, there are three simulation opportunities. To enter again, you actually need to inject thirty mid-grade spirit stones into the token to open the passage to that space. Isn't this too expensive?"

Now he only has a total of 156 medium-grade spirit stones and some scattered low-grade spirit stones on him, which means that he can only go in five times at most.

As for No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6, it can be seen that they are extremely wealthy, otherwise they would not have spent so many mid-grade spirit stones to come in, greet each other and then leave after sensing the presence of newcomers.

"It seems I'm the only one poor. I need to hurry up and make some money. This cave simulation will be very helpful to me, especially in terms of combat skills. I might even get the chance to go inside and take a look."

After feeding the old hen some spirit stone powder, Zhou Qing yawned and lay down on the bed to rest.

It was not until noon that I heard a collision sound outside and woke up sleepily.

I saw the pink paper crane outside the barrier at a glance.

"Is this girl so idle every day? Doesn't she practice?"

Zhou Qing thought about it and let it out.

Then, the paper crane landed on the windowsill, and Lu Yaoyao's cheerful voice soon came from inside.

"Brother Zhou, what are you doing? My third brother is celebrating his birthday in the Jade Kitchen today. If you're free, you can come over and have some fun with us!"

Zhou Qing laughed.

How can you be so naive? Haven’t you seen how your five senior brothers looked when they saw me?

Seeing the paper crane turn blue, Zhou Qing said, "No!"

Then he picked up the paper crane and threw it away.

After making sure that no one would disturb him, he took out thirty medium-grade spirit stones and injected them into the token. The suction force came again, and when he opened his eyes, he appeared here again.

But this time, the three men did not come in again.

Looking at the picture of himself, he dove right in...

call!call!call!
It was unknown how long it had been, but Zhou Qing was lying on the floor, gasping for breath. Compared to the last time, this time his speed was much faster. After killing the fourth wave, he finally jumped out of the gravity zone first.

The rustling sounds that had originally come from deeper in the corridor also retreated at this moment.

"This is too dangerous! I definitely can't handle this fifth wave!"

After resting for a while, Zhou Qing did not turn the millstone, but came to the place where the second uncle had dug a hole to steal.

The repairs are exactly the same, which shows that it is a perfect restoration.

After taking a long breath, Zhou Qing looked at the darker passage in front of him, holding the broken sword in his hand and stepped into it.

Puff - just after walking less than half a meter carefully, one side of the corridor suddenly caved in, and a dark bone spur suddenly shot out like a black lightning. Zhou Qing didn't even have time to react as it went straight through his heart.

"Dry!"

He turned into a ball of light, cursed loudly, and went in again.

This time, as the bone spur shot out, Zhou Qing, who had been prepared for a long time, focused his eyes, raised the broken sword in his hand instantly, and accurately blocked the dark bone spur.

The sound of metal colliding echoed in the corridor, and sparks flew everywhere.

Feeling the powerful force coming from the bone spur, Zhou Qing groaned in his throat, his arm trembled slightly, and as the spiritual power in his body circulated, he turned his wrist and directly bounced it away.

The bone spur fell to the ground with a clang, but quickly floated up again.

As if a chain reaction had occurred, dense bone spurs appeared in the entire passage, all targeting Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"It's over!"

Before he could perform the "Silver Dragon Step", countless bone spurs shot out directly at him, chilling him to the bone.

"I just don't believe it!" Zhou Qing came here again for the third time.

But this time he did not act impulsively, but observed carefully.

The force of each of these bone spurs is at least that of a Jindan realm attack. With so many bone spurs, even a Yuanying realm expert would not be able to withstand it.

But the Supreme Elder was able to pass safely. Zhou Qing didn't believe it because they always relied on brute force to get through.

If that's the case, it would be a huge loss. If we come here a few more times, we won't have to defend ourselves against the enemy.

"Oh right, a daily review!"

Zhou Qing slapped his forehead, wondering how he could have forgotten about this.

Then he inspected the passage in front of him.

[A passage filled with lethal weapons: This is a dangerous passage, covered with lethal weapons from top to bottom, left to right. At the deepest part, there is a triple illusionary array imprinted within. To pass through, simply bring the millstone and place it at the entrance.]

Zhou Qing was pleasantly surprised when he saw the feedback.

I told you, there must be a way.

Never use your hands if you can use your brain.

Then Zhou Qing quickly turned around and rolled the millstone not far away here little by little, but suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

The first time he was sent in by the Supreme Elder, he couldn't find the key to the millstone. Then he saw the tomb robber's hole and the millstone outside the passage in front of him.

He had just jumped onto the millstone with great joy when he was taken in by the second uncle.

"It seems that the second uncle passed through this passage in this way!" Zhou Qing felt that he was so stupid that he couldn't even copy the answers.

Then the millstone rolled back to its previous position.

"Bang--"

There seemed to be a sound coming from the depths of the passage, and then it fell silent.

Zhou Qing then breathed a sigh of relief and stepped in.

As expected, the bone spur did not appear this time, nor did any other ones.

Even the entire dark passage began to glow slightly.

Zhou Qing walked in step by step.

"That is--"

Soon after, his eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

At this moment, there are more than a dozen mushrooms growing in the corner of the passage.

These mushrooms are crystal clear all over, emitting a faint glow. The caps are slightly red, and the stems are as white as jade, delicate and smooth, giving people a sense of purity.

As you get closer, you can feel a gentle fluctuation of spiritual power, and a faint fragrance wafts into your nose.

"It's actually the ingredient for refining Chongqiao Pills—Lingyun Mushroom!"

After reaching the great perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm, it is extremely difficult to successfully enter the Golden Elixir Realm and condense one's own Golden Elixir. At this time, if there is a Chongqiao Pill, it will greatly increase the success rate.

It is similar to the Foundation Establishment Pill, but more precious.

One Chongqiao Pill is worth at least thirty mid-grade spirit stones, or three thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Three thousand spirit stones is a fortune that takes a long time to accumulate for an ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

You have to know that as a core disciple, he only had more than 300 spirit stones on him before. He only made a little money at the second uncle's stall by using the [Daily Inspection].

One Lingyun mushroom, plus other rare medicinal materials, was only used to refine three Chongqiao Pills. I wonder how much so many Lingyun mushrooms can be sold for.

Zhou Qing reached out and touched it. It was so real. Unfortunately, all of this was a simulation. Only when he reached the real cave could he take it out.

"Danhua Peak has its own unique medicinal field. It's impossible to plant it here. After all, this place is the most core secret of Taiqing Sect. Then there is only one possibility. The Lingyun mushrooms here are grown naturally. It will probably be fully mature in no time!"

Zhou Qing felt itchy when he saw it.

The Supreme Elders and their companions, as powerful people in the Spirit Transformation Realm, had not picked any of the fruits despite having visited them many times, so they probably didn't even like them.

But these are of great help to Zhou Qing, who has now reached the great perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

After all, the way he condensed the golden elixir was different from that of ordinary people. He condensed two of them, not to mention the energy required.

Even if there are any leftovers, you can sell them and exchange them for medium-grade spirit stones to travel around in the [Shenxu Heavenly Palace].

"I wonder when the Grand Elder will enter the Cave Heaven next time?"

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, memorized the place, and then left reluctantly and continued to go deeper.

After passing through the passage, he finally saw the scene in front of him again.

Red River, Dead Crows, Giant Tree, Heart, Coffin...

The pressure spread out in all directions like a surging tide, making Zhou Qing breathless and almost fainting.

boom! boom! boom!
Every time the huge black heart beat, Zhou Qing's heart beat with it, and then a large amount of blood spurted out.

He immediately knelt on one knee, clutching his chest tightly, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

creak-

At this moment, a deep voice sounded.

Zhou Qing raised his head with difficulty and saw a coffin trembling slightly under a tree in the distance, and then the lid of the coffin began to move slowly.

The sound of the heavy stone rubbing against the coffin was like muffled thunder echoing in my ears.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to see a ball of green gas spreading out from it, and then everything in front of him went dark.

When he opened his eyes again, he had turned into a red ball floating outside.

"What is that thing?" If it had a physical body, Zhou Qing would definitely be gasping for breath at this moment, with a lingering fear on his face.

Too bad I didn't see the last scene.

"My cultivation is still too weak. I simply can't withstand the synchronized beating of that huge heart. Forget it. I'll try again next time I enter the Golden Core Realm!"

Zhou Qing sighed softly.

"Number one, how are you?" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.

When Zhou Qing turned around, he saw Green Ball No. 4 coming in at some point and greeting him.

Zhou Qing ignored him. After all, he didn't have a very good impression of this guy.

"Why don't you take a look around my screen? With your knowledge, you might have been there too. Then we can team up in real life..."

Before Green Ball No. 4 could finish his words, Zhou Qing's ball of light dissipated in the air and retreated.

"What a cold fellow!" Green Ball Number Four cursed, then disappeared into the first picture...

…………

"Old Four, Old Four——"

Hearing Yan Xiaohu's shouting outside, Zhou Qing yawned speechlessly.

After all, I didn't sleep all night and spent all my time on passing the levels.

Soon he was stunned.

Because today Yan Xiaohu not only had a new hairstyle, but also changed into new clothes.

It's just this red robe and green pants, it looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

Yan Xiaohu happily turned around in front of Zhou Qing and asked excitedly, "How is it? How is it?"

Zhou Qing didn't know how to comment for a moment, so he could only say: "Third Brother, red and green are a perfect match, you—"

"What do you know? If you want to attract other people's attention among countless young talents, this is the fastest way. If I stand like this in the crowd, will you notice me?" Yan Xiaohu asked hurriedly.

Zhou Qing smiled and nodded: "Of course I do. I'll also be thinking, wow, who is this slutty man? His taste is so bad..."

"Stop, stop!" Yan Xiaohu immediately stopped Zhou Qing from continuing speaking in a bad mood, but soon came forward with a smile and rubbed Zhou Qing's shoulders.

"Fourth brother, how do you think your senior brother treats you on a daily basis?" Yan Xiaohu asked.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Zhou Qing looked at Yan Xiaohu's embarrassed expression, his face full of confusion: "Third Brother, besides borrowing money, if there is anything you need help with, just let me know."

"Brothers!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohu became so excited that he slapped Zhou Qing on the shoulder.

Zhou Qing grimaced in pain.

No, let’s just talk about the matter, why did you have to resort to violence?

"Oh, sorry, does it hurt?" Yan Xiaohu quickly rubbed Zhou Qing gently.

Zhou Qing shook his head.

Yan Xiaohu then said, "It's like this. This favor is actually quite simple. Can you please stay home tomorrow instead of going out?"

"Why is this?" Zhou Qing was a little puzzled.

Yan Xiaohu couldn't help but cough lightly and said, "It's nothing, actually. It's just that the Seventh Prince and Ninth Princess of the Shengwu Dynasty are coming tomorrow. Especially the Ninth Princess, this is her first time to visit my Taiqing Sect. I heard that she is very beautiful."

When Yan Xiaohu said this, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but wipe the drool from his mouth.
