Zhou Qing's mind was full of thoughts and he made a decision in just a few breaths.

You can't wear this hat and you can't take this blame.

"Master Zuo, he is slandering me! He is slandering me!"

"My admiration for the Emperor's Academy is like a surging river, endless. If I was not really reluctant to leave my hometown, I would definitely follow Master Zuo."

"Master Zuo, you know me. I have always been honest. All the masters were here at the time, and they all know what I said."

"But this Duan Jin is making up stories out of nothing and spreading rumors. I think he has bad intentions and is trying to sow discord between Taibai Martial Arts School and Master Zuo."

"I suggest arresting him and interrogating him to see if he has been bribed by the evil spirit."

Zuo Tianzheng's expression did not change. Long Tianchong immediately jumped out and said:

"Zhou Qing, stop talking nonsense!"

"Although my disciple Tenglong's words were inappropriate, how could he collude with evil?"

"He just wants to ask you, the number one genius of Black Cloud, for some advice."

"Yes, Zhou Qing." Duan Jin said, "I would like to ask you to teach me."

He emphasized the word "please".

Duan Jin looked at Zhou Qing who was surrounded by Taibai disciples, and thought about the master's instructions to him, and felt a little excited.

He knew that judging from the previous training speed of Black Cloud's number one genius, he should not be his opponent now, but it didn't matter, he just wanted to ask for his guidance.

After this time, I will be able to catch the eye of Lord Zuo, and a bright future will no longer be a dream.

Maybe after going to Yujing, I can even get a glimpse of the realm of marrow cleansing and join the royal family of Da Qi.

The true blood of martial arts, the soul and the Yin spirit, this is the realm that controls an entire state, and it is also an important force for the royal family of Da Qi.

Therefore, if a strong person at the level of cleansing marrow and manifesting sainthood wants to surrender, the royal family will welcome him and give him certain attention.

Zuo Tianzheng, the imperial envoy of Emperor Qi, is guarded by those who have undergone marrow cleansing and are now holy.

Facing Duan Jin's renewed challenge, Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Today's battle is the most important thing. I am not participating in the battle, so I am afraid it is not appropriate for me to take action."

"No problem." Zuo Tianzheng said, "Since Duan Jin took the initiative to ask you for guidance, then you can give him some guidance."

"Also let him know that although he has achieved first place in the Muscle and Veins Realm, there is still a huge gap between him and a genius like you, so that he won't become complacent."

Zhou Qing sighed inwardly and said, "If that's the case, then I'll show off my ugliness."

The onlookers were all excited at this moment. They didn't expect there would be such a good show to watch.

"Duan Jin challenges Zhou Qing, can he do it? He is the number one genius in Black Cloud."

"Oh, I think this Black Cloud's No. 1 genius is probably no longer worthy of his title. Otherwise, why wouldn't he participate in today's martial arts competition?"

"That makes sense. Duan Jin is now the strongest person in the tendon realm of Black Cloud Town. Even if Zhou Qing can win in a battle with him, it will probably be a tough fight."

"Being strong for a while doesn't mean you'll always be strong. Zhou Qing only started practicing at the age of 22. Although he made a great progress in the early days, it's still hard to say what his future will be like."

Passersby from all sides were talking about it, and many people were making malicious speculations. It was not that they had any grudge against Zhou Qing, it was just human nature.

I always like to make the flawless become imperfect and pull God down from the altar.

The most important thing is that it was not them who challenged Zhou Qing. They were just talking big. Everyone can do that.

At this moment, they are equivalent to the keyboard warriors in Zhou Qing's previous life.

Duan Jin was eager to try, holding a long knife.

"Draw your sword, Zhou Qing."

Although he felt he was no match for Zhou Qing, Duan Jin believed he could still exchange a few moves with him.

It’s just the tendons and veins realm, how strong can it be?

There is always a limit!

"Junior brother, the sword."

Shen Yu handed over her Hundred Refining Weapon.

Zhou Qing shook his head and said to Duan Jin:

"You take action."

"good!"

Duan Jin attacked with a knife at an extremely fast speed, and the knife made a sharp whistling sound between each strike.

The onlookers all marveled at his powerful strength, which was far beyond their reach.

Zhou Qing moved his right foot slightly, shaking up a stone, and then reached out and slapped the stone.

"call out!"

The stone shot out at a speed that ordinary people could not even see clearly.

Duan Jinse's color changed, and he swung his sword to block, but an irresistible force came over him.

"Bang!"

The knife fell and the man flew, and was directly hit by a stone and flew dozens of meters away.

Zhou Qing didn't look at Duan Jin again, and said to Zuo Tianzheng: "Master Zuo, is there anything else?"

Zuo Tianzheng withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at Zhou Qing with an admiring look on his face.

"You are indeed very powerful. Why don't you compete with the winner of the martial arts competition who has just entered the internal organs realm?"

Zhou Qing refused with difficulty.

"Master Zuo, I have only been practicing for a short time and am not yet a match for a visceral realm master. I dare not fight him."

"Master Zuo, are you going to ask me to fight an opponent I can't defeat?"

"I won't force you."

"Since Lord Zuo is alright, we will leave first."

"Goodbye." Zuo Tianzheng nodded.

After Zhou Qing and his group left, he returned to his indifferent expression.

"Master Zuo, Zhou Qing's strength..."

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

He left first, and the guards followed closely. As for Duan Jin, who was hit by a stone and howling in pain, he didn't even look at him.

After all the forces left, only passers-by with confused faces were left. After a long time, someone sighed: "Black Cloud is number one, and it will always be Black Cloud number one. No one else can compare to it."

"That's right, that's right. Duan Jin really overestimates his own abilities. Can he challenge the number one genius of Black Cloud?"

This is the face of a keyboard warrior.

The garrison.

Zuo Tianzheng was sitting quietly alone, with his three guards beside him, two of them were performing divine manifestations, and one was performing marrow cleansing.

One of the holy monks was quite special, as he was completely covered in a black robe.

These are the only three remaining guards of the Marrow Cleansing Sainthood that he brought from Yujing.

The others had all died in the ambush by the Tianmu Sect and the Wuchang Palace.

However, in Heiyun Town, these three guards are enough to protect his safety.

And one of these three guards is a force hidden in the dark. After arriving in Black Cloud Town, he has never appeared since.

Except for a few people here, no one else knows of his existence.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that there are only four of them left in the imperial envoy team from Yujing.

There are also a few people who practice bone refining day trips and even practitioners at the internal organs realm who are still alive.

However, these people's strength is not as strong as Zuo Tianzheng's. They are not guards at all. Their only function is to handle various miscellaneous matters.

Zuo Tianzheng suddenly asked: "Master Chu, Master Li, have you seen Zhou Qing's realm?"

Master Chu, the powerful saint who was not wearing a black robe, shook his head.

"There was something strange about him, hazy and unclear, and he didn't use his full strength."

Master Li, the marrow-washing warrior, said, "I didn't see it clearly either."

"That's my opinion, too." Master Chu nodded, "And in just a few months, he has made such progress in martial arts training."

"I believe that under Lu Qingmo's guidance, his soul cultivation must be quite high, and he may even be able to swim at night."

They had never seen Zhou Qing practice soul cultivation, but it was easy to guess.

If you don't cultivate your soul and go to Lu Qingmo every day, what are you doing there? Don't say you are going to prune the peach tree! Zuo Tianzheng nodded with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Bai Ruoyue, who is less than 20 years old, has already reached the Great Perfection of the Internal Organ Realm and can fight against those in the Bone Refining Realm."

"Zhou Qing, after practicing for three or four months, has reached the strength of the internal organs realm."

"The top two Black Cloud geniuses of the past two generations both came from Taibai Martial Arts School, and they are both related to Lu Qingmo."

"If the Black Mountain God really would personally bestow his grace, how could the other useless people in Black Cloud Town compete with them? How could I take the opportunity to obtain the Heaven-Making Vine? Unfortunately, the Taibai Martial Arts School is ignorant of the current situation. I rewarded them, but they dared to refuse."

Master Chu pondered for a moment, then said:

"Why not tell Lu Qingmo directly that if the mountain god really blesses Heiyun in the future, then ask Bai Ruoyue or Zhou Qing to ask for the Bu Tian vine."

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

"If the Bu Tian Vine really exists and they asked for it, then we should pay a certain price and exchange it with them?"

"Nothing I can offer can impress Lu Qingmo. Even if Zhou Qing and the others join the royal family, the attraction is not as good as entering Xuandu Temple."

Zuo Tianzheng shook his head and said, "She is a disciple of Xuandu Temple and has an arrogant personality. She will not give me this face."

"Besides, you all know Lu Qingmo's situation. If she learns about the Bu Tian vine, she will probably be tempted even if it can't solve her problem, which will only cause more trouble."

A drowning person will grab everything around him. In Zuo Tianzheng's opinion, this Bu Tian vine is not suitable for Lu Qingmo, but if there is such an opportunity, he will definitely want to give it a try.

Master Chu sighed, "How could such a genius appear in this small Black Cloud Town? It really doesn't make sense."

"The source may be the owner of Taibai Pavilion. I heard that this man went out to explore the world for a few years when he was young. When he came back, his cultivation had greatly improved and he brought a daughter with him. I'm afraid he got some opportunities outside."

"During the day... I haven't heard of this name before."

The three of them were silent for a while, and Master Li suddenly looked fierce.

"Neither this nor that will work."

"Why not just find a way to get rid of Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue, so that they don't block your way. The Tianbu Vine is the most important."

After these words were spoken, Zuo Tianzheng's eyes flickered, but he did not speak.

Taibai Martial Arts School, this was the first sentence Zhou Qing said when he came back.

"Zuo Tianzheng seems to be testing my strength."

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Qing looked at Zhang Yuantao and asked:

"Is Duan Jin usually a reckless and impulsive person?"

Zhang Yuantao shook his head. "It's not reckless or impulsive."

"That's it." Zhou Qing explained:

"Since he is not a reckless man, there is no way he would challenge me to a fight after the duel."

"He is the number one in the tendon realm selected by Zuo Tianzheng. If he loses to me, it will inevitably damage Zuo Tianzheng's reputation."

"But Zuo Tianzheng asked me to fight him instead, and even planned to arrange an opponent for me at the Viscera Realm."

"Logically speaking, he doesn't have to do this. Since we have already rejected him, then my strength has nothing to do with him."

The others heard this and seemed to be thinking about it.

"Little Junior Brother, what you said makes sense."

"No, why doesn't he come and test my strength?" Bai Ruoyue suddenly said.

Zhou Qing looked at her helplessly, "Big Sister, you fought against the Bone Refining Realm from Tenglong Martial Arts School last time. Your strength is no secret."

"Oh, that's right." Bai Ruoyue nodded.

Zhou Qing remained silent and fell into deep thought.

The only reason he could think of for asking Zuo Tianzheng to test his strength was the possible test from the mountain god in the future.

Zuo Tianzheng wanted to get what he needed from that test?

If that’s the case, does that mean I can also get what I need from the mountain god’s test?

But since it is a test, there must be people who perform well and those who do not, and there is competition between them. Senior Sister and I...

It's not that Zhou Qing is arrogant. In this Black Cloud Town, in terms of talent or combat power among people of the same level, no one can compete with him and Bai Ruoyue.

"Be careful in your future actions and try not to leave Black Cloud Town." Zhou Qing suddenly said, "Second Senior Brother, if the Black Cloud Guards give you any missions to leave the town, refuse them all."

Zhang Yuantao reacted and was shocked, "Junior brother, do you think..."

"I can't say for sure, but it's always better to be careful."

I have never hesitated to assume the worst of others.

In the evening, Zhou Qing talked about these things with Lu Qingmo, and she also agreed with Zhou Qing's ideas and decisions.

Lu Qingmo suddenly asked: "By the way, when are you going to open the Three Yin Relics?"

As long as either Zhou Qing or An Lang reaches the Day Travel Realm, they can go to the Sanyin Valley again and open the treasure.

Zhou Qing now meets the requirements.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing said, "Let's wait a little longer."

"A Sun Wandering cultivator and a Bone Refining Warrior have died. The Huang family should be on high alert now. There may be experts stationed in the Three Yin Valley."

"Wait until my cultivation level improves a bit."

At the same time, I am waiting for the cheat code to be refreshed next month to see what it is like.

After today, there will only be three days left before the golden finger is refreshed, and Zhou Qing will soon have the sixth golden finger since he traveled through time.

Maybe it will help him go to Sanyin Valley.

But up to now, he has only got three wish bottles. Before the golden finger ends this month, he must get himself another one.

"As long as you have a plan." Lu Qingmo nodded and said:

"Regarding the information about the Three Yin Mountain God, I asked Junior Brother Song to investigate in Xuandu Temple and found some things."

"Oh?" Zhou Qing was excited. "What kind of existence is this Sanyin Mountain God?"

"This mountain god has been active for a long time, at least three hundred years, and he is a god with a secret existence."

"It was one of my predecessors from Xuandu Temple who accidentally discovered His existence when he came to Black Mountain and recorded His information in the temple."

"A god from three hundred years ago." Zhou Qing said, "I wonder if these forces in Tianyue County know about the existence of the Three Yin Mountain God."

"It's hard to say." Lu Qingmo continued:

"That Sanyin Mountain God was a deified person in the Yin God Realm. During his long years as a god, he was unable to break through the shackles and make further progress, so he fell early."

"Although gods live longer than cultivators, they also have many restrictions. It is extremely difficult for them to cultivate in the future. Few Yin God cultivators choose to become gods unless they are at the end of their rope and have no other options. However, few Yin God masters are capable of becoming gods either."

It is also extremely difficult to ascend to godhood in a human body, and not every Yin Shen cultivator has such ability.

It requires various preparations, many opportunities, and most importantly, your own strength must be strong enough.

Becoming a god is another way to seek the truth, but the road ahead is bumpy.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but think of the Moon Goddess. He wondered what kind of existence a god like her was.

"The most important information about the Sanyin Mountain God is that he is a ghost."

"spirits?"

"Yes, he ascended to God in the body of a ghost, not a living person."

The fog in Zhou Qing's heart was dispelled, and he now roughly understood why An Lang also got the seven-pointed star mark.

It turns out that this Sanyin Mountain God is of the same kind as An Lang.

Zhou Qing thought to himself that he would have to spur An Lang on later.

People have been deified as ghosts, but all you do is sleep.

This lazy guy must be severely whipped! (End of this chapter)
