The once-a-month Gold Finger refresh is coming soon, although this is not the first time I’ve experienced it.

But Zhou Qing still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

No, facing the refresh of the golden finger, he still retained his first time.

Doesn’t the first time of every month count as the first time?

So far, any golden finger has been of great help to him, and its importance is beyond doubt.

Each golden finger accelerated his growth rate by a large margin, and it could even be said that he had changed his destiny and achieved achievements that seemed incredible and impossible to achieve to countless people.

Except for Tiandi Bank.

But the existence of the Heaven and Earth Bank can also summon the Earth Tiger Armor. No, it also has an effect.

It can make up the number, the number of golden fingers required for the return function.

Of course, it’s not that Tiandi Bank is useless, and it couldn’t be blamed at that time. After all, it was because Zhou Qing was just a mortal at that time.

If Zhou Qing traveled directly to the body of an immortal, the things that would be dropped from the Tiandi Bank at the beginning might be immortal stones, original currency or something like that, and it would take off immediately.

"I hope that a cheat code will appear later that will allow me to ascend to the sky instantly."

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, this request is not high, right? It's reasonable, right?

"Why are you so distracted?"

Lu Qingmo could see that Zhou Qing was in a state of uncertainty.

"This month is almost over." Zhou Qing sighed, "It just feels like time has passed so quickly. It's been quite a while since I started my cultivation journey."

Lu Qingmo's eyes became strange. All in all, you have only been practicing for five months. Is this a long time?

"You have a lot of feelings."

Zhou Qing waved his hand and said, "Aunt Mo, you will understand when you reach my age."

“…”

Lu Qingmo didn't understand what Zhou Qing meant for a moment. I'm your age? No, who is older between the two of us?! Are you asking me to turn back to youth? Wait, is he saying I'm old? "By the way, Aunt Mo, today in Shenhua Sect..." Zhou Qing told him what happened during the day.

"Your idea is correct." Lu Qingmo affirmed the results discussed by Zhou Qing and others.

"With the arrival of more forces, there will definitely be more people who want to cooperate with you. Waiting and seeing is the better choice. There will always be people willing to pay a greater price for the mountain god's grace."

"In fact, for normal geniuses, the gains may be greater if they cooperate with powerful forces from other places."

Zhou Qing understood what Lu Qingmo meant.

For normal geniuses in Heiyun Town like Shen Long, even if they could receive the blessing of the mountain god, they would probably only get one or two treasures.

The treasures were indeed precious, but if some force offered them the same price that the Shenhua Sect offered to Zhou Qing, and provided them with all the resources they needed to cultivate to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, that would actually be more suitable for them.

Shen Long and others are not the most outstanding people in Heiyun Town. Even if they are given treasures by the mountain god, it will not be extraordinary. Even if they sell the treasures, it is highly unlikely that they can exchange them for resources that can lead directly to the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

The mountain god is indeed very powerful, but that doesn't mean that everything he gives is priceless. It's not like he's entrusting all his assets to you before he dies. He still has descendants and good friends.

Most of the treasures or inheritances must belong to the Yun family.

If there are special requirements, then the treasure of the mountain god is definitely better. If there are no special requirements, then objectively speaking, it is wiser to cooperate with other forces.

"Speaking of this, the Tianlongmen have also made some moves."

Zhou Qing was curious, "Tianlongmen? What did they do?"

"Fighting with Zuo Tianzheng for people." Lu Qingmo explained: "After the martial arts competition by the river, the night magic competition, and the comprehension test, the Black Cloud geniuses chosen by Zuo Tianzheng are not as good as you and Ruoyue, but they are indeed a group of outstanding geniuses in Black Cloud Town."

"Zuo Tianzheng was the first to come to Black Cloud Town. He took the initiative and picked up the most outstanding people. It was impossible for the latecomers to give up, so they took action to snatch people away."

"The people from Tianlongmen contacted the geniuses selected by Zuo Tianzheng and bribed them, hoping that they would leave Zuo Tianzheng and work for them."

"Did anyone agree?"

"Not now, but sooner or later someone will agree." Lu Qingmo smiled.

"An opportunity to join the Emperor's Academy cannot stabilize people's hearts forever. Zuo Tianzheng was the best and only choice before, but it may not be the case in the future."

"If the price offered by others is equal to the value of this opportunity, no one will be tempted. But if the value is several times that of joining the Emperor's Academy..."

Lu Qingmo didn't continue speaking, but Zhou Qing understood what she meant.

Everyone in the world is pursuing profit.

Many things are not impossible to buy, but the money is not enough.

It all comes down to three words.

You have to pay extra.

People from other forces in Heiyun Town were still anxious, allowing Zuo Tianzheng to take advantage.

If the situation was like today, with so much competition from all sides, an empty opportunity to join the Emperor's Academy would not have attracted many people.

"But if those people chosen by our Lord Zuo reach cooperation with other forces, wouldn't that completely offend him?"

"Tianlongmen is not afraid of offending an imperial envoy. They will come to Heiyun Town to share a piece of the pie later. Those who dare to compete with Zuo Tianzheng for people are not afraid of offending him." Lu Qingmo said:

"If those people choose to leave Zuo Tianzheng, someone will naturally take the pressure off them."

Of course, not being afraid of offending the imperial envoy and directly killing the imperial envoy are two different concepts.

Unless he was an unscrupulous evil cultivator, Tianlongmen would not dare to do anything to Zuo Tianzheng.

Zhou Qing's smile grew wider. "Then I hope other forces can help Lord Zuo."

"It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. How can the geniuses of Black Cloud Town be allowed to be enjoyed by Lord Zuo alone?"

Zhou Qing answered very seriously: "You can't do that even if you want to. I am yours in life, Aunt Mo, and in death, I am your ghost. I will definitely hold your thighs tightly."

Not only do I want to hug your thighs, I also want to...

"Nonsense again."

After today's Taoist practice was over, there was still some time before twelve o'clock in the evening, so Zhou Qing began to practice the method of awakening the spirit and nourishing the mind.

This kind of Taoist magic generally does not have any clear level division. As long as you have enough talent, it is not difficult to practice.

Use Zhou Qing's talent to practice it and sprinkle some water on it.

The difficulty lies in collecting treasures, and the need to perform Taoist magic persistently to enlighten the spirituality, which takes time.

In the soul town, a wisp of soul flew out from Zhou Qing's soul and then entered a precious tree.

As expected, Miao Shu had no rejection of Zhou Qing's soul.

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

He did not feel any discomfort after his soul entered the device, as if he had returned to his own body. He easily merged with the wonderful tree and took control of everything.

Zhou Qing had no idea of ​​the various difficulties that might be encountered in the soul-splitting compound as recorded in Taoist magic.

This is the special nature of the natal magic weapon.

In fact, when the Tianming Sect was at its peak, the Yin Shen cultivators within this sect would also use the method of awakening the spirit and nourishing the spirit to cultivate the "spirits" within their own natal magic weapons, in order to nourish their spirits and strengthen their spirits.

Before the Tianming Sect conducted some research and experiments, this was the exclusive Taoist technique of the Yinshen Venerable and was quite precious.

There are spirits inside the Yin Shen magic weapons, so they can directly bear this Taoist magic without going through the step of dividing the soul into the weapon.

This can be said to be a Taoist technique that must be learned by the Yin Shen cultivators of the Tianming Sect. It is also this technique that makes the innate magic weapons of the venerables of the Tianming Sect stronger than those of the cultivators from the outside world.

However, this technique naturally has its limits.

The higher the level of the magic weapon, the more treasures are needed to awaken the soul and nourish the spirit, and the higher the quality.

And once the "god" becomes powerful enough, this technique will be of no use.

But Zhou Qing is still far from this limit.

After the soul was divided into two parts and entered the device, Zhou Qing took out four treasures and a jade bowl from the space ring.

First, sprinkle the powdered spiritual dust on the bottom of the jade bowl, then drop one drop of soul-pregnant water and one drop of spirit liquid into it, and stir with mental power.

After a quarter of an hour, pour in the soul liquid to fill half of the jade bowl, and then put in a stone of revelation.

Wait for another quarter of an hour, pour in more spiritual water until the bowl is full, and then sprinkle a layer of spiritual dust.

Then Zhou Qing released the Yang Earth Fire to steam the bowl of precious liquid, but failed to burn the jade bowl.

This is the refining process recorded in Taoism. Although it is not difficult, the steps cannot be wrong. Only then can you eventually get a spirit-awakening and spirit-nourishing liquid to use when performing Taoist magic.

The precious liquid began to boil, and the Stone of Revelation began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The liquid in the jade bowl became turbid, and as time passed, its color gradually faded, and finally became extremely clear.

The Spirit-awakening and Nourishing Spirit Liquid is also ready.

A precious tree appeared outside, and then its trunk shrank and immersed in the jade bowl.

Zhou Qing was not afraid of being discovered by Lu Qingmo. It was already late and he was in his room. Lu Qingmo was not a pervert who would spy on what he was doing in the room at night...

Recalling the technique of awakening the spirit and nourishing the soul, Zhou Qing chanted the spell, made hand gestures, and drew talismans in the air.

Runes were imprinted on the wonderful tree, and the precious liquid flowed without wind, giving the wonderful tree a sense of spirituality.

After merging with the wonderful tree, the soul that temporarily served as the spirit of the artifact sensed wisps of special energy entering the tree from the outside world.

These energies did not strengthen the quality of the wonderful tree, nor did they enhance its power. Instead, they gathered around him under his attraction.

The runes gradually increased in number and shone brightly, and were imprinted on the body of the soul. Those special energies were attracted by the runes and merged into them.

Until finally, all the special energies disappeared, and no more runes entered the wonderful tree from the outside world.

The spiritual awakening and nourishing liquid that I just refined has been used up.

After sensing the situation of the split soul, Zhou Qing nodded slightly. There had been some changes, but it was not enough.

This is the nature of this Taoist magic. Whether it is for earth beasts or magical instruments, it cannot be achieved overnight. It requires multiple awakenings and gradual progress before it can eventually produce results.

Fortunately, the four treasures left behind in the earth beast's will were not small in number. I dare not say much about the other things, but the Qi Ling Miao Tree is definitely enough.

Time passed slowly, and Zhou Qing refined another portion of precious liquid and continued to awaken his spirit, working extremely hard.

The golden finger played only a minor role in his current achievements.

More importantly, it depends on his own talent and sweat! After Zhou Qing consumed another portion of the treasure liquid, the things he had experienced several times happened again.
