Chapter 68
When Gu Liangyi and Yi Yan rushed to the principal's office, the conversation between Zong Qinyuan and Zhou Qingzi was already coming to an end.
"I'm sorry, Principal Zong, we didn't see the news..."
Gu Liangyi looked at Zong Qinyuan who was sitting in his seat apologetically. Zong Qinyuan took a sip from the teacup and smiled at him: "It's okay, it's not an urgent matter, otherwise I would have notified you through the communicator."
"Sit down," he said.
Zhou Qingzi glanced at him quickly, his expression somewhat complicated.
It was probably because Gu Liangyou's performance had left a deep impression on him, which led to him being very polite in front of Zong Qinyuan now.
In Zhou Qingzi's mind, the apprentice's level certainly could not exceed that of the master. The strength of the black-haired young man in front of him even surpassed him. Then Zong Qinyuan, his teacher, naturally could not be an ordinary person.
The only answer is:
He concealed his own cultivation level, and his strength was far beyond Zhou Qingzi's imagination.
Zong Qinyuan didn't know that because of Gu Liangyi, he had become an unfathomable powerful cultivator in Zhou Qingzi's eyes. He briefly talked about the content of his conversation with Zhou Qingzi, which was basically about the communication and cooperation between Mo Da and Lin Shen Zong:
Zhou Qingzi was responsible for providing them with some basic herbal elixirs for research, and they helped Zhou Qingzi find the weakness of the strange creature and how to restrain it.
"I have four disciples in total, Zhou Ming is the last one to join," Zhou Qingzi sat on the sofa, his back straight, his face gloomy, and he didn't even take a sip of the tea in front of him. "My eldest disciple is already in the middle stage of the golden elixir, and now he has the same problem as me. Once he gets emotional, the golden elixir in his body will become restless."
"——I thought this was normal, until I saw the thing in Zhou Ming's body."
He took out a bottle of Qingxin Pills from his bosom and placed it in front of Gu Liangyi and the others: "This thing is the secret recipe passed down from generation to generation by the Lin Shen Sect. This is also the secret recipe of why the Lin Shen Sect has been able to occupy the top of the cultivation world for so many years. Because once a cultivator without Qingxin Pills enters the God Transformation Stage, there is a high probability that he will go crazy and explode and die."
Gu Liangyi glanced at Zong Qinyuan, and after getting a slight nod of permission from Zong Qinyuan, he stepped forward, picked up the small green bottle, opened it, poured out a Qingxin Pill and observed it.
He put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, his brows unconsciously frowned——
Why does it smell like rotten meat?
He looked up and asked Zhou Qingzi: "What are the ingredients for this Qingxin Pill?"
"I don't know," Zhou Qingzi shook his head. "The recipe for Qingxin Pills is our Linshen Sect's top secret. In fact, I would be committing a serious crime if I gave it to you privately. Only the Sect Master knows how to make this thing. Every year, all the major sects come to Linshen Sect to ask for it, and we will distribute it to them according to the quota."
Hearing this, Gu Liangyi and Yi Yan exchanged glances.
Isn’t this equivalent to raising a Gu?
"So," Zong Qinyuan suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you can't actually represent the Lin Shen Sect, right?"
Zhou Qingzi fell silent for a long time before he slowly said, "To be honest, I have always been quite straightforward. This time when I returned to the sect, I had originally intended to ask the sect master whether he knew about this matter and what the truth of the Demon Cult was. However, I was stopped by the great elder because the sect master is currently in a new round of seclusion and is about to enter the final stage of the Five Degenerations of the Celestial Being."
Next, he briefly introduced to the others what the Five Deteriorations of the Celestial Beings in the world of immortal cultivation were. At the end, he sighed heavily:
"How can I disturb the Sect Master at such a critical moment? Currently, the Linshen Sect is temporarily managed by several of our elders. I have a good relationship with the other two elders, so I can be considered to represent the sect."
Zong Qinyuan: "That's good. But, how long will Sect Master Lin stay in seclusion this time?"
"It may be a few days, or a few months or even a few years," Zhou Qingzi said, "The sect master is extremely talented, a rare genius in the world of immortal cultivation. I think it shouldn't take too long."
Zong Qinyuan looked thoughtful.
Although Zhou Qingzi fully demonstrated his trust in the sect leader through his words, Zong Qinyuan, whether as the president of Mo University or as a bystander, could not easily let his guard down.
Even if he was not the mastermind behind the scenes, Sect Leader Lin must have known about the existence of that strange creature.
But Zong Qinyuan couldn’t understand why he would hide this matter when it would do no good at all?
"Also, that Feng... Feng experiment," Zhou Qingzi added, "My apprentice has basically recovered from his injuries, so you can ask him to stay here and help you. If you don't have enough manpower, I will ask the other three apprentices to come along as well."
Gu Liangyi was surprised and asked, "Has Zhou Ming recovered?"
Zhou Qingzi's frown slightly relaxed, and a smile finally appeared on his tense face: "Yes, fortunately the Great Elder still has some Shengxi Pills. I thought this thing was extinct."
Zong Qinyuan's mind moved: "Life-promoting pill?"
"Yes," Zhou Qingzi said carelessly, without hiding anything, "Although it can't achieve the effect of reviving the dead, it can be used to speed up wound repair, heal serious injuries, and beautify the skin. It has excellent effects."
Zong Qinyuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately forced out a cordial smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, look..."
"Stop," Zhou Qingzi looked at him warily, "I know what you want to say, but this thing is not mine, and I don't have the final say. If you want it, go talk to the elder yourself."
"Okay." Zong Qinyuan leaned back in his seat regretfully and began to think about how to ask for money from Lin Shenzong next.
Gu Liangyi knew that he would definitely go with Principal Zong.
During this period, Mo Da has been sending special teams to collect samples of surrounding animals, plants and soil, but the growth of civilization points has not reached 10 yet. The progress is too slow.
——For the world of immortal cultivation, the most critical special items of civilization must be the products within the immortal cultivation sect.
Mo Da and everyone on Earth are well aware of this.
"Hey," Zhou Qingzi, who had relaxed, sipped a cup of tea. When he looked up, he finally noticed Yi Yan sitting next to Gu Liangyi. His eyes widened slightly, "What are you doing...?"
When observing Yi Yan before, Zhou Qingzi could clearly feel that his heart knot was getting deeper and deeper. How come in just a few days, this young man has recovered to normal, and the strength in his body has more than doubled?
He glanced back and forth between Gu Liangyi and Yi Yan, recalling the secret between the two that he had accidentally uncovered before, and couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, "Young man."
Zhou Qingzi thought that their cultivation had increased because of their dual cultivation. Yi Yan did not like the way he looked at him, but because this person was now Principal Zong's guest, he held back and turned to ask Zong Qinyuan:
"Principal Zong, when do we set out for Lin Shen Sect? How do we get there?"
"Let's follow the headquarters' arrangements." Zong Qinyuan was not sure what kind of transportation to take now, "and it's best to find a good day and wait until the fog dissipates."
Zhou Qingzi told them that this period of time was when the fog was thickest in the Qinling Mountains, and when herbs grew most vigorously and had the strongest medicinal properties. That was why Zhou Ming took advantage of this period to go into the mountains to collect herbs, and was shot down by the anti-aircraft defense mechanism of the desert as an intruder.
After Gu Liang heard this, a thought flashed through his mind:
Is it really just a coincidence?
They had caught up with Morton City's triennial auction and had a great harvest; this time it was the season when the herbs matured, and they had crossed over at the right time, so the advance team had a great harvest every day.
The first time could be considered a coincidence, but what about the second time? Will there be a third time?
"By the way, I've been wanting to ask a question," Zhou Qingzi's words brought him back to his senses. Gu Liangyi heard him and asked curiously, "What does the principal mean?"
"Uh," Zong Qinyuan was really stumped by his question. He thought for a moment and explained, "You can understand it as the sect master."
"Oh." Zhou Qingzi suddenly realized, "So the name of your sect is Mo Da, right?"
“…About the same.”
"How many disciples do you have?"
This time Zong Qinyuan answered quickly: "Nearly 30,000." The rest were faculty and staff and idle people outside the school.
"Thirty, thirty thousand!?"
Zhou Qingzi's eyes widened, and he took a breath of cold air: "There are less than 1,500 people in our Linshen Sect, and this is already the largest sect in the world of immortal cultivation! How are you going to teach 30,000 disciples?"
As an elder who advocates teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and in small classes, Zhou Qingzi cannot imagine the scene of 30,000 people sitting together in class at the same time.
Zong Qinyuan smiled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Zhou is so curious, why not let Gu Liang and the others take you to visit the campus. By the way, let's also ask Zhou Ming to come along so that he can get familiar with the environment."
"Very good."
Zhou Qingzi had a very good impression of Zong Qinyuan. Unlike other sect leaders he had met, they were either arrogant or tried their best to flatter him in an attempt to curry favor with Lin Shenzong.
Before leaving, he took out a cultivation secret book from his storage ring and said to Zong Qinyuan, "This is the most orthodox cultivation method at present, from meditation to finding the sense of Qi to collecting and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, if you don't take the foundation-building pill, you can only cultivate to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage at most."
Zhou Qingzi hesitated for a long time before deciding to give this secret book to Zong Qinyuan.
It's not just because he hopes Mo Da can help him find the truth. As a cultivator, he believes in the way of heaven and the "fate" between people.
When Zong Qinyuan took the book, even his breathing slowed down.
When you open the pages of the book, you will see that the fonts inside are all traditional Chinese characters, but they are different from modern traditional Chinese characters. They are more like the traditional Chinese characters used by various dynasties in China thousands of years ago on Earth.
However, just being able to understand part of it was enough to make Zong Qinyuan excited.
"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Zhou!" He said to Zhou Qingzi in a sonorous and powerful voice, "Don't worry, we will do our best to fulfill our promise!"
Gu Liangyi asked Yi Yan in a low voice: "If we practice according to this, can people on Earth also cultivate immortality?"
Yi Yan wasn't sure what the difference was between the environment on Earth and here, so he chose a more conservative answer: "Maybe it's possible."
But the audience watching the live broadcast didn't care about that. The moment Zhou Qingzi took out the cultivation secret book, people all over the world went crazy.
That is a serious introductory manual to cultivating immortals!
With it, flying into the sky and hiding in the ground is no longer a dream for humans! !
Just the two screenshots of the pages that Zong Qinyuan casually flipped through had already gone viral on the Internet at a terrifying speed. Most Chinese people could understand them, and even if they couldn't, there were ancient Chinese experts who came forward to explain them.
But in comparison, foreigners have a hard time. Chinese is difficult to learn, and it is even more difficult to make them understand metaphysical terms such as "qi feeling" and "meridian circuit".
Countless foreigners are wailing online, asking if it is too late to learn Chinese now. They also want to cultivate immortality and fly on a flying sword!
Many internet celebrities have already started this activity. They put on ancient Chinese costumes and used special effects to create videos of themselves casting spells and flying swords and uploaded them to the Internet, deceiving many netizens who foolishly believed it and made them think that someone had really achieved the effect of the practice.
Moreover, many foreigners cannot tell the difference between cultivation and martial arts. A domestic Tai Chi blogger gained millions of followers overnight because he liked to wear ancient costumes while practicing Tai Chi. Most of them were foreign friends who did not know why. He even posted a video overnight, explaining in a funny way that practicing Tai Chi facing the rising sun can only strengthen the body, but it cannot make people safe and sound when jumping from the 18th floor.
As the current manager of the Demon God Savior Church, Wu Junlang naturally followed up on this trend in a timely manner.
He posted a notice on the church's official website, announcing that they would cooperate with the headquarters. After obtaining the contents of the original cultivation secrets from the headquarters, they would translate them and publish them on the website as soon as possible for the benefit of all mankind, and even non-believers would be able to view them.
The reason? Of course, it is to enhance the physical fitness of all mankind and follow the leader's philosophy of benefiting all mankind! Long live world peace, long live the leader!
Gu Liangyi: ...How come I don’t know?
In short, a vigorous national immortal cultivation movement has begun on Earth, and in the immortal cultivation world, the Mo people are busy preparing for their first visit to the Linshen Sect.
Sitting in the helicopter cockpit, Yan Beichen cleared his throat and said into the headset: "Everyone, please fasten your seat belts, we are about to set off!"
"Do you think we look like exchange students?" Zhuge Xiao, who was sitting on Gu Liangyi's left hand side, shouted at the top of his voice amid the noise of the helicopter propellers, "Science and engineering to cultivate immortality, magical powers are boundless!"
Behind them, several helicopters took off from the school playground at the same time, and the strong winds they created blew across the entire campus.
Through the glass, Gu Liang tilted his head and saw the green mountains in the distance gradually descending at their feet. The white peacock leading the way had already healed its previous eye injury. It circled in the air and cried, signaling the large helicopter team to follow behind it.
Zhou Qingzi, riding on a flying sword, had his hair flying in the wind and stood still with his hands behind his back, looking like a hermit.
But compared with the huge armed helicopter, his figure in the air looked as small as a mustard seed.
This scene was also witnessed by countless people on Earth, and a famous painter even painted a picture specifically for it, the name of which is -
Clash of Civilizations
