Zhou Qing opened the stone door and the mountain breeze blew on his face, making him feel refreshed and relaxed.
I always feel like I can survive here even if I starve to death.
When I looked outside, I saw that there were already people standing on the bluestone square, talking to each other.
After hearing the noise behind them, those people turned around and saw Zhou Qing walking out of the stone house. Some nodded at him, while others ignored him.
"Brother Zhou!"
Cui Yaozhi spoke, and beside him were still Jiang Yanyao and others. It can be seen that although the people here are all outstanding, they also have different circles.
Zhou Qing originally did not belong to any of their circles, but because of Lu Qingmo and because Cui Yaozhi took the initiative to visit him, he became closer to the geniuses of these top sects.
Zhou Qing walked over with a smile and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Jiang Yanyao smiled slightly. This saint lady always gave people a sense of affinity, which made people feel good about her and it was difficult for them to have the idea of becoming her enemy.
"Mr. Zhou was the last one to come out, so he must have gained a lot."
"My last?"
This was something Zhou Qing had not expected. He was in the lead throughout the entire mountain god test, but when it came to refining divine power, he was the last one.
So Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I came out last, but I didn't gain anything. It was just that refining the power in the God Pond was a bit difficult, so it delayed me."
"We all came out quite late." Suxian Daozi added.
“…”
No way, are we going to compare ourselves to each other? At this moment, Zhou Qing discovered that Wang Zai's eyes were somewhat complicated when he looked at him, which made him feel a little strange.
"Brother Wang, is there anything wrong?"
Wang Zai shook his head, "Nothing, I'm just amazed at Brother Zhou's talent."
Zhou Qing smiled indifferently, looked at the bluestone square, and asked, "Wait a minute, where is my senior sister?"
"Miss Bai followed Venerable Tianhe. He must be going to give her some kind of reward."
So that's how it is. Bai Ruoyue can indeed make a request.
Looking at the Taoist and Immortal Seeds in front of him, Zhou Qing discovered that they had undergone certain changes compared to three days ago. Their aura was even more high-spirited, which showed that they had gained a lot.
A few people chatted casually, and after a while, Reverend Tianhe and Bai Ruoyue came back.
Bai Ruoyue trotted up to Zhou Qing with joy in her eyes. It was obvious that she must have gotten something good.
Reverend Tianhe glanced around and saw Zhou Qing coming out, so he said, "It looks like everyone has made a lot of progress."
"Thank you, Senior Mountain God, for the gift." Someone opened his mouth to express his gratitude, and others followed suit.
Reverend Tianhe nodded with satisfaction, "I hope that everyone can overcome the calamity and ascend to immortality, and live freely and at ease in the future."
"Okay, now that everyone is out, I'll take you out."
"Please stay for a while."
The first few words were spoken to everyone, and the last few words were secretly conveyed by Venerable Tianhe to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing nodded, and immediately sent a message to Bai Ruoyue to explain the matter and asked her to go back first.
This made Bai Ruoyue feel a little resentful, as she had originally wanted to share her gains with her junior brother immediately.
Then Venerable Tianhe led everyone and flew directly down the Black Mountain. There was a group of people waiting outside the mountain.
Zhou Qing was the only one left on the bluestone square.
Zhou Qing strolled here alone, looking around, thinking that the scenery here was truly beautiful.
In one direction of the square, there is a path that winds its way up to a higher place. I guess the higher the place, the more magical it is.
Not long after, Venerable Tianhe came back again. The speed of Yinshen cultivators was very fast.
After coming to Zhou Qing, he asked with a smile:
"How was the harvest?"
"great."
Zhou Qing nodded, and then said solemnly: "I will always remember the Yun family's care for me and will never forget it."
He was also referring to the top-grade divine materials, the Heavenly Thunder Wood and the Black Cloud Talisman.
Reverend Tianhe smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You earned it all by yourself."
"Also, have you figured out what you need?"
"Don't worry, just tell me what you want."
"Peerless magic skills are also okay?"
"You kid." Tianhe Reverend said with a smile: "Forget peerless magic skills. My Yun family doesn't even have the Heavenly Martial Arts."
The mountain god is a cultivator, not a warrior. After he was deified, he has been staying in the Black Mountain. Of course, he does not have any martial arts knowledge.
The Yun family has both cultivators and warriors, but this is ultimately a family composed mainly of cultivators, and its fundamental inheritance is also the inheritance of Taoism.
Martial arts inheritance...
There is still a lot of room for improvement.
Zhou Qing also laughed. Of course, he was just talking casually just now.
"Then I will speak boldly." Zhou Qing said, "I wonder if Your Excellency has any news about strange fires or flames?"
Strange fires and flames are naturally very precious.
Obtaining a new strange fire is also a shortcut for Zhou Qing to quickly improve his strength.
He has already cultivated the Yin and Yang fires. The next step is to fuse the two into Hunyuan fire.
But this step is not so easy. There are many conditions. One of the requirements is that the strength of the Yin and Yang fires themselves must be strengthened to a certain extent.
Zhou Qing's Yin and Yang fires each merged two kinds of strange fire from heaven and earth, but according to Lu Qingmo, this was not enough.
If he wanted to achieve the compatibility of Yin and Yang and evolve into the state of Hun Yuan, he could either continue to practice the Earth Fire Seal himself, or directly fuse the strange fires of heaven and earth to quickly increase the power of the two fires of Yin and Yang.
Lu Qingmo has been practicing the Earth Fire Seal for more than ten years. Although she had only fused five kinds of flames before obtaining the Phoenix Seed Fire, her own practice was also very effective.
After more than ten years of hard practice, the results are really remarkable.
But Zhou Qing couldn't do that. He had only recently cultivated the Earth Fire Seal, so his Yin and Yang Fires were basically enhanced by refining the strange fires of heaven and earth. He didn't have the time to cultivate them slowly later.
"Strange fire? There is no such thing in the Black Mountain. As for the news about them..."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianhe fell into deep thought.
"good."
Then Zhou Qing saw Venerable Tianhe standing still.
“…”
Is this how you ask? After a while, Venerable Tianhe spoke.
"The Yun family does have news about a strange fire from heaven and earth."
"Oh?" Zhou Qing was delighted and said quickly:
"Please give me some advice, Your Excellency."
"Do you know Jiuyangxu?"
"Tianyang County, Jiuyang Ruins? It is said that it is a dangerous place formed at the same time as Wubian Tianxu?"
Of course Zhou Qing knew where it was. His pure Yangyan was obtained from the wild beast marrow bead in Jiuyang Ruins.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
"Yes, it's there." Venerable Tianhe nodded.
"Someone from my Yun family passed by there and found traces of what appeared to be the Heavenly and Earthly Fire. However, he had other important matters to attend to at the time, so he simply searched for it but found nothing, so he had to leave."
"But there is a high possibility that there is a strange fire of heaven and earth there...if it has not been taken away by someone."
"Nine Yang Ruins..." Zhou Qing pondered, then was stunned.
Could the traces of strange fire discovered by the Yun family be pure Yangyan?
If it really is pure Yangyan, then it would be a waste of time to ask.
"I wonder if the seniors of the Yun family know the origin of that strange fire of heaven and earth?"
"It could be the True Yang Heavenly Fire, or the Meteorite Stone Flame. Based on those traces, these two types of flames are the most likely."
Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not pure Yangyan.
"I have never heard of these two kinds of flames before."
"Whether it is the True Yang Heavenly Fire or the Meteorite Stone Flame, they are said to be fire from outer space." Venerable Tianhe explained:
"The former is said to be a brand new flame that was formed when the sub-fire of the sun's true fire was left behind and transformed, falling from outer space to the earth."
"The latter is said to be the flame carried by a meteorite from outer space, which burned on the earth after falling."
"Fire from outer space? The true fire of the sun?"
Zhou Qing took a breath, a little surprised.
He still understood the concept of outer fire.
Some of the strange fires of heaven and earth are born in mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, polar ice fields, and volcanic magma. Some of the strange fires are born outside the sky and fall down by chance, and are called heavenly fires.
Because he had been to the moon, Zhou Qing suspected that the outer space was the starry sky, and these fires from outer space were the fires from the starry sky.
A flame with such an origin deserves to be called magical.
Of course, Zhou Qing can also absorb this kind of flame.
The word "Earth" in the Earth Fire Seal does not refer to the fire on the earth, but it corresponds to the "Heaven" in the Heaven Thunder Seal.
The Sun's True Fire is even more extraordinary. Lu Qingmo specifically mentioned this fire and the Moon's True Fire to Zhou Qing and highly praised them.
She said that these two kinds of flames could be said to be the most suitable strange fires in heaven and earth for practicing the Earth Fire Seal, a perfect match among perfect matches.
Even if no other flames have been fused, even if one has just practiced the Earth Fire Seal, as long as one has the ability to subdue these two flames, then one can use this as the foundation to fuse the Primordial Fire, and it will be extremely powerful.
Although this world does not have a list of strange fires, the True Fire of the Sun and the True Fire of the Moon are definitely ranked at the top of all fires and are widely known.
However, these two kinds of flames are extremely rare and precious. They have appeared in history, but no one in the world today has mastered them.
Based on Zhou Qing's communication with the Moon Goddess, we know that there are people in this world who can land on the moon.
However, the lunar true fire is still rare to see, which shows that this kind of fire cannot be collected simply by going to the moon.
If the True Yang Heavenly Fire is really related to the True Sun Fire, then it would probably be quite extraordinary.
Zhou Qing's heart was deeply moved.
Venerable Tianhe also noticed Zhou Qing's excitement, so he took out a jade slip, imprinted some information on it, and handed it to Zhou Qing.
"It records some of the things that the Yun family discovered, including the possible location of the Heaven and Earth Fire and how to subdue the two kinds of fire."
"If you are interested, you can go and have a look later. Maybe you can get the flame." Tianhe Reverend said with a smile: "After all, your luck has always been amazing."
But when it came to this, Venerable Tianhe became a little more serious.
"Jiuyangxu is not a good place. If you really want to go there, you must be careful."
"On the night when the Boundless Sky Ruins were formed, the Nine Sun Ruins appeared. Although there is no evidence to prove the connection between the two, it is also very dangerous and we must not be careless."
Zhou Qing nodded, took the jade slip, and accepted the favor.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency. I will definitely wait until I am stronger before taking action."
Reverend Tianhe nodded slightly and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"
Zhou Qing was stunned. He could still make a request? So generous?
Seeing his expression, Tianhe Reverend said jokingly:
"You have performed so well. If I only give you the news about the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire and send you away, I'm afraid people will say that my Yun family is stingy."
"This information is a gift from the Yun family. After all, they didn't give you anything substantial. If you go looking for the flame based on this information and don't find it, then your request is worthless, isn't it?"
What he said is indeed reasonable.
It would be fine if it was a gift of a heavenly and earthly rare fire to Zhou Qing directly, but it was a piece of news, and its value was indeed hard to say.
It may be valuable, or it may be worthless.
If those who seek fire are outsiders, it is enough to give them a message. The Yun family does not care whether they can gain anything or not.
But Zhou Qing was, after all, a friendly local fellow and such an outstanding person. Reverend Tianhe was willing to take care of him, so he just gave him the news, which seemed a bit perfunctory.
Zhou Qing sighed in his heart, fortunately he came to Heiyun Town.
