The first moment Zhou Qing followed Venerable Tianhe onto the Black Mountain, he felt a sense of exhilaration and freedom, as if he had jumped out of the water.
I feel relaxed and refreshed, and it seems that a layer of "dirt" has been washed away from my whole body.
I didn’t feel it before, but now I feel that the environment I was in before was so depressing and so heavy.
If I had to describe it, it would be the feeling of coming from the muddy world to a pure land.
Looking up, the edge of the mountain in the distance was covered with clouds and wisps of green smoke, as if it were not in the human world.
Just one step away, it seems like you have arrived at another level of space.
Nearby, the flowers are beautiful, the grass is green, and the soil is full of vitality. Nothing here shows signs of decay.
The vibrant scene of all things competing for development is right before our eyes.
Drops of water hang on the petals and between the grass leaves.
These water droplets reveal inspiration and contain a faint vitality.
Take a gentle inhale and the sweet fragrance will fill your nose. The fresh air will make your lungs feel much more refreshed.
Really. The air is sweet.
It's very quiet here. Outside, you can still hear the occasional roar of animals and chirping of birds, but there is none of that here.
Looking around, there are no signs of other living beings. They must be hidden somewhere.
"What a blessed place in Montenegro."
Cui Yaozhi exclaimed in praise.
That’s right, this is a paradise on earth. Although it is located in the human world, it is “completely different” from the human world. Relatively speaking, it can be regarded as a pure land.
Here, the vital energy of heaven and earth, and even all kinds of energy are extremely abundant and very pure. If you practice here, the efficiency and effect of refining energy cannot be compared with the outside world.
If a person can continue to practice in such a place, the speed of practice will undoubtedly increase a lot.
When Zhou Qing first embarked on the path of cultivation, the average cultivation time for each realm that he learned from Shen Long and the others was just data for ordinary people in ordinary areas.
Disciples of the top sects live in a blessed place. They receive cultivation resources every month, and the skills they learn are all top-notch.
Such conditions are naturally incomparable to those people living in the mundane world.
This Black Mountain is the greatest treasure.
It is also the most coveted thing.
Reverend Tianhe smiled faintly and said, "It is not as good as Cui's Qinghe."
Qinghe Cui Family not only refers to Qinghe County where the family lives, but also refers to the blessed land occupied by the Cui Family, which is named Qinghe.
It was a large body of water with many small islands scattered across it. The Cui clan lived on the Qing River.
And what Venerable Tianhe said was the truth, not just modesty and politeness.
Qinghe is much higher than Heishan. After all, it is the base camp of the top Taoist sect.
The blessed places are also divided into different levels, and those occupied by the top Taoist sects are undoubtedly the best in the world today.
"I wonder if we have the honor to meet Senior Mountain God?" asked Taoist Suxian.
"The ancestor is not able to see anyone recently." Venerable Tianhe refused.
He led a few people and walked up the mountain for a distance, and a bluestone square appeared in front of everyone.
Stone houses stand on the square.
There are also traces of civilization in the Black Mountains, which no one has reached in the past.
It is obvious that someone from the Yun family lives here.
At this point, it doesn't matter if this information is exposed.
After all, the mountain god is about to die and is surrounded by wolves, so it doesn’t matter whether some unimportant information is concealed or not.
"You performed the best in the test just now, so the Origin God Pool prepared for you must be of higher quality than others."
Venerable Tianhe said: "The sacred pond is in the stone house. As mentioned before, the token will guide you to your respective sacred ponds."
"At the same time, there are other rewards prepared by the Yun family for you in the stone house."
Zhou Qing's heart moved. He had not yet mentioned his request to the Yun family, and Venerable Tianhe would definitely not go back on his word.
In other words, he could not only get the reward directly, but also put forward his own demands to the Yun family.
The mountain god is so majestic!
"Your Excellency, could you please exchange the reward for something we need?"
A genius from a first-rate force made such a request.
Venerable Tianhe nodded and said, "If you feel that the reward bestowed by the Yun family now is useless to you, then you can return the things in the stone house and then put forward your own demands. If the Yun family has them, we will consider them as appropriate."
What discretion means is that it is impossible to satisfy everything you want. If something is too high quality or too precious, then forget it.
It can only be something of similar value to the reward given now, and the Yun family must have it.
Zhou Qing didn't have any objection. After all, he had taken the things in the stone house and could still make another request to the Yun family.
He wants them all!
No one had any more questions, and everyone dispersed to find their own stone house.
Zhou Qing quickly found a house at the back of the bluestone square, but before entering, he thought of something, so he trotted over to Tianhe Reverend and asked:
"Venerable Sir, how long will it take to use the Divine Pond?"
"Everyone's situation is different, so it's hard to say." Tianhe Reverend replied, "But it will take at least one day, right."
"I see."
Venerable Tianhe smiled slightly and asked:
"When you come out, you can tell me what reward you want."
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
Zhou Qing turned and walked into his stone house and closed the door.
The stone house is very simple, but it is not small in size, and there is a bright pearl that illuminates the place.
In the middle of the stone house, there is a small bluestone pond, one meter long and one meter wide. There is mist in the pond, which appears green in color.
This is the Origin Divine Pond.
What's in the pool is not water, but pure divine power, so it's not really a bath, but rather entering the pool to absorb and refine these powers.
On the way here, Venerable Tianhe specifically told them the precautions to take when refining divine power.
The most important thing is not to be impatient.
After looking at the Origin Divine Pool, Zhou Qing looked at a stone table next to him. On it was a space bag. It must be the reward from the Yun family for his excellent performance in the test.
Zhou Qing opened the space bag and saw that there were quite a few things inside, some of which he was very familiar with.
These were some treasures he obtained in the real illusion during the third level of the test.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
The treasure obtained in the illusion was naturally fake, but the Yun family gave it to him in reality.
This was considered the reward for the third level, but the real reward from the Yun family for him passing the test was something else.
A dead tree with a piece of paper next to it, explaining the information of the dead branch.
"The Heavenly Thunder Wood, a precious wood that was destroyed by the thunder of heaven and earth, but was reborn with a ray of vitality in the thunder of heaven, a top-grade Yin God divine material..."
Zhou Qing read out the information on the paper, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
"After being refined into a magical instrument, it will be extremely powerful, carrying the might of heavenly thunder, and is extremely suitable for thunder magic. The precious wood itself can also be helpful in practicing thunder magic."
Good stuff!
This thing was tailor-made for Zhou Qing.
Obviously, this was specially prepared by the Yun family for Zhou Qing. After all, Lu Qingmo's Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal was very famous, and considering his relationship with Lu Qingmo...
In the Yun family's view, it is entirely possible to inherit the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Seal.
Materials of the same grade are also divided into high and low grades.
If the Earth Divine Stone and Heavenly Gold that Zhou Qing once obtained were of relatively ordinary quality among the divine materials, then this piece of Heavenly Thunder Wood was the best of the best. The difference in value between the two was too great.
The Earth Divine Stone and the Heavenly Gold combined are not as good as the Heavenly Thunder Wood.
Thunder methods, thunder weapons, and thunder treasures are the best and most sought after in Taoist practice.
Zhou Qing was very satisfied with this treasure. After the wonderful tree devoured it, the new branches that would grow in the future would surely be very suitable for carrying the Taoist magic of Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal.
"I will never forget this kindness." Zhou Qing made a secret decision in his heart.
The second reward was a jade talisman with pictures on both sides.
There are clouds on one side and mountains on the other.
If you look closely, you can see that the outline of that mountain is very similar to that of Montenegro.
Next to the jade talisman, there is also a piece of paper explaining its information.
"The Black Cloud Talisman requires a drop of blood to recognize the owner before it can be used. After activation, power will emerge from the talisman, allowing the owner to escape directly into the Black Mountain from the outside world?"
"The effective distance is roughly the straight-line distance from Black Cloud Town to Black Mountain. After activating it once, if the power in the talisman is naturally restored, it will take half a month. If it can be replenished actively, it will be much faster."
Zhou Qing was slightly surprised. This was simply a life-saving holy object! This escape into the Black Mountain refers to the mountain he is in now, not the vast mountain range outside.
Although it has a distance limit and can only be used in Black Cloud Town, it is still a very precious and useful item.
With him, at least Zhou Qing doesn't have to worry about encountering danger in Heiyun Town and its vicinity, and he can also directly enter the blessed land of Heishan.
However, this talisman can only be used by him, because it recognizes its owner, so other people cannot use it even if they get it.
Undoubtedly, the Yun family showed him considerable sincerity.
It is an extremely top-grade divine material that suits him very well and qualifies him to enter Black Mountain directly.
There is nothing to say about this attitude.
move.
Uh, Zhou Qing suddenly thought of a question.
Now Black Mountain is still occupied by the Yun family, so there will be no problem for him to escape directly into Black Mountain.
But if the mountain god died and Black Mountain was taken away, then let’s not talk about whether the Black Cloud Talisman would become ineffective. Even if it was still useful, he would be courting death if he escaped into Black Mountain at that time...
Looking at the black cloud talisman, Zhou Qing fell into deep thought.
Could it be that the Yun family wanted to express something with this talisman? Wanted to tell Zhou Qing that this Black Mountain could not be lost? Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it, put away the things, and stepped into the Origin God Pond.
There was no damp feeling, only comfort, endless comfort.
The pure original divine power in the pool did not require Zhou Qing to do anything, it actively drilled into Zhou Qing's body, perfectly merged with him, and enhanced every aspect of him.
Every part of the body, the soul in the soul land, the wing pattern on the back, the seed of transformation in the abdomen...
As soon as he entered the pool, Zhou Qing immersed himself in it, concentrating on refining the pure original divine power.
He could clearly feel the strengthening brought by the divine power, which improved him bit by bit.
This...flying feeling is really intoxicating.
In the other stone houses in the bluestone square and in the caves at the foot of the Black Mountain, everyone was in the same state.
For many people, this is an opportunity that only comes once in a lifetime. After this time, it is estimated that they will never encounter it again.
If the mountain god was not about to die and the original divine power could not be preserved as a legacy, they would not have this opportunity at all.
But they finally caught up.
Fate is wonderful beyond words.
Second update. I have fallen out of the top 200 in monthly votes. Although I expected it, I still have to beg for monthly votes. (End of this chapter)
