The top-notch and first-rate disciples of a Taoist sect in the world would usually go out to travel at the earliest when they reach the Zang-Fu realm, and at the latest when they reach the Xi-Marrow realm, and then return to the mountain gate.

The prerequisite is to complete the journey successfully, not die outside, and have the talent to advance to marrow cleansing.

Those with sufficient talent will choose to return to the mountain and prepare for the advancement to true blood after the marrow cleansing, unless there is any special opportunity.

Whether you can succeed depends on your personal ability, but the possibility of breaking through in the mountain gate is naturally greater than breaking through in any random place outside.

According to Lu Qingmo, forces like Xuandu Temple have that kind of precious land that can provide certain benefits to cultivators and warriors when they break through.

Then there are the elders in the sect looking after you. Although there is no guarantee that you will succeed in breaking through, at least you don’t have to worry about safety issues under normal circumstances.

And if one can successfully break through, he will be able to become an elder, join the senior ranks and hold great power.

When you reach that level, it is a completely different world. Daily life and what you have to face are naturally completely different from before.

Therefore, in today's world, the most active area among the major Taoist sects is the area from the internal organs to marrow washing.

For safety reasons, true disciples usually come out of the mountains only after refining their bones.

Only those outer and inner disciples would choose to come out early. There is no other way. They are not as talented as others, and the treatment they enjoy is not as good as others.

If you start working hard earlier, you may have a chance to change your destiny.

Zhou Qing also planned to travel around the world after reaching the Bone Refining Stage.

Just as Ao Xuanwei said, no matter which sect he joined, he could not escape the step of traveling around the world.

Unless the method of cultivation is special, such as the Tai Shang Xian Jing of Feixian Dao, no sect will lock its disciples in the mountain gate forever.

Regardless of which faction you join or not, traveling around the world will at most delay the time of going to the faction's mountain gate, and that cannot be changed.

Zhou Qing didn't want to change either.

There are traces of true disciples from all major forces in the world, and their number is far more than the number that has come to Black Cloud Town.

Zhou Qing also wanted to meet them.

"By the way, if I am not in Black Cloud Town when your True Dragon Ceremony is held, what is the maximum contact distance of the conch?"

Zhou Qing remembered that the last time Longnv went to Qingzhou, he couldn't contact her anymore.

"It depends on where you are." Ao Xuanwei said:

"If we are both on the Yun River, then even if you are at the head of the Yun River and I am at the tail of the Yun River, and we are across several states, the conch can still take effect, but the communication will be delayed."

"But if either party uses the conch in other waters more than one state away, then the conch becomes ineffective."

It seems that we have to take advantage of Yunjiang's geographical location to fully unleash the power of the conch.

"But don't worry, when you really leave Black Cloud Town one day, I will ask my father to leave a trick on the conch."

Ao Xuanwei said: "When the time comes, I will use Yunjiang's power, and when you leave the land of several states, I will also be able to make the conch produce a simple reaction."

"That way you'll know I'm looking for you."

Although it cannot be used as instant calls like we do now, it is enough to serve as a notification.

Zhou Qing asked again: "If you want to go out from Kaishui Mansion, which water area will you go to?"

"The Yunjiang Dragon Palace is in Tianzhou, and there are many large water bodies around it. There is no extra water in Tianzhou for me to build a palace."

To be precise, there is no water area worthy of the Dragon Lady.

It's impossible to send her to build a water palace in a stream or ditch. That would be meaningless to Ao Xuanwei and Yunjiang Dragon Palace.

The dragon sons and daughters built the water palace not only for their own practice, but also to expand the Yunjiang Dragon Palace.

The location and size of Kaifu Waters are very important.

"As for the prefectures and counties adjacent to Tianzhou, most of my brothers have already gone there..."

Ao Xuanwei pondered for a moment and glanced at Zhou Qing.

"Actually, if I were to go out and start a government, I'd want to go to Haizhou."

"?"

Zhou Qing slowly typed a question mark. It was definitely not him who had a problem, it must be the Dragon Girl's.

"Haizhou, isn't that the territory of Tianlongmen? Especially right on the shore of the West Sea, going there... is too risky."

"The West Sea and Tianlongmen are not completely in control of Haizhou. It is precisely because Haizhou is located by the sea that the scale of its waters is the largest in Daqi and is the most suitable place for aquatic creatures to live."

"The Yunjiang River flows through Haizhou, so the Yunjiang Dragon Palace also has a certain influence on Haizhou."

"And Xihai and Tianlongmen have brought too much trouble to Yunjiang Dragon Palace. Sooner or later, they will not be able to resist and take action against Yunjiang."

Zhou Qing understood that the Dragon Girl wanted to strike first and gain the upper hand. If he went to Haizhou to develop things in advance, he might gain something.

However, he was not very optimistic about Ao Xuanwei's idea.

Yunjiang Dragon Palace already has a certain influence on Haizhou. Even if she goes to Haizhou to set up a government, she probably won't be able to expand this influence much.

Before the strength of Yunjiang Dragon Palace shows a significant increase, it will be difficult to achieve greater success in Haizhou.

It is true that the Tianlong Sect cannot cover the sky with one hand in Haizhou, but they are indeed first-class in Haizhou and have a background.

The main issue is still strength.

If Ao Xuanwei could ascend to heaven, she would go to a creek to build her residence. It doesn't matter how deep the water is, as long as there is a dragon there, it will be magical.

"The matter of opening a mansion is related to your cultivation, so you'd better be cautious." Zhou Qing said: "Try to improve your own strength as much as possible."

"That's just my thought." Ao Xuanwei said with a smile:

"The matter of establishing a government office is still a long way off, and it's hard to say whether I will leave Yunjiang."

"If I really leave Tianzhou to open a government, you have to come and help me."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, your business is my business."

"When the time comes, we will strive to make your Water Palace surpass the Yunjiang Dragon Palace!"

The two of them communicated slowly, with many topics to talk about. Ao Xuanwei also mentioned some things outside Tianzhou to Zhou Qing.

There are evil cultivators causing chaos somewhere, or two strong men fighting each other somewhere, leaving no life within a hundred miles.

The Yunjiang Dragon Palace is relatively well-informed.

Not long after, one clam spirit after another entered the room, and plates of delicacies were placed in front of the two men.

As soon as Zhou Qing saw it, he could tell from the appearance that it was a very luxurious meal, and there were very few repetitions from the last time.

It's really corrupt.

I like.

That night, at Ao Xuanwei's request, Zhou Qing did not leave Yunlong City.

There are many rooms in Yunlong Pavilion, so he doesn't have to worry about having no place to rest.

However, he quickly informed Lu Qingmo.

This place is only about 300 miles away from Heiyun Town and is still within the signal coverage of Snail.

As for Bai Ruoyue, there is no need to notify her. Just let Senior Sister practice with peace of mind.

After dinner, Zhou Qing and his companion were walking on the small island in the middle of the lake. A crab general suddenly came up to Ao Xuanwei, handed her something, and then left.

This is not the crab general that Zhou Qing knows.

But this is Dragon Palace, so this is normal.

It would be too shabby if such a huge Dragon Palace had only a pair of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to do things.

"for you."

Ao Xuanwei immediately gave the things that Crab General gave her to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing was surprised and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You really came from Yunjiang Dragon Palace to find something for me?"

"That's not necessary."

"I think so." Ao Xuanwei said with a smile:

"then."

"What's this?"

Zhou Qing took the object, which was a piece of unknown material.

"There is a Taoist technique from Prime Minister Turtle in the Dragon Palace. It has no requirements for bloodline or race. It is called the Resurrection of the Spirit Turtle."

"Resurrection?"

"After mastering this technique, if you are seriously injured, you can use the spirit turtle to revive and speed up your recovery."

"Although it cannot bring the dead back to life, it is still a very useful Taoist technique. With this technique at your side, your safety will be somewhat guaranteed when you travel around the world in the future."

Zhou Qing nodded. It turned out to be a recovery-type Taoist technique, which seemed to be at the Yin God level.

However, as for the healing art, Zhou Qing already has a Holy Heart Spell, which is at the quasi-Huangquan level.

But Zhou Qing did not reject Ao Xuanwei.

Who says you can't use Black Turtle Resurrection after using the Holy Heart Mantra? Both are healing and recovery, and both require a process, rather than instant recovery, so using them together will definitely have a better effect.

With treasures such as the Nine-Aperture Golden Pill, his recovery ability is already strong, and now he has two more powerful healing techniques at his disposal.

It’s hard to even want to die.

When you are away from home, you must have strong vitality.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t win, as long as you’re still alive.

He can work part-time as a "nanny" himself, and only when he is alive can he produce output!

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

When Zhou Qing looked at the fragment in his hand again, he suddenly found that it looked a bit like a turtle shell.

So he asked this question.

Ao Xuanwei replied: "It is indeed a tortoise shell, but it is not Prime Minister Turtle's. Instead, he peeled it off from an enemy before."

The Prime Minister is also cruel!

After Zhou Qing returned to the room arranged for him by Ao Xuanwei, he began to try out the various skills he had learned here today.

He first tried the Xiuming martial arts, which was the only alternative among the many martial arts.

Although the others are difficult to practice, they are at least complete, with Xiu Ming Martial Arts being the only incomplete one.

This martial art...how should I describe it, it is indeed incomplete.

There is a missing sentence here, a lack of a word there, and at the end it even stops abruptly and is completely disconnected.

It would be impossible for this kind of technique to be successfully practiced.

After reading it carefully, Zhou Qing actually no longer held out much hope.

After memorizing it, Zhou Qing opened the placement column, searched through the long list of placeable martial arts, and then frowned.

"No?"

He didn't see the name of Xiu Ming Wu Dao.

He continued to comprehend the incomplete Xiu Ming martial arts for a while, but there was still no change in the placement column.

Zhou Qing shook his head. It seemed that there was no way to practice Xiu Ming martial arts with the help of the placement bar.

There is a difference between ignoring the cultivation threshold of a technique and practicing an incomplete technique.

The former is at least a serious martial art, while the latter can even be said not to be, as they are fundamentally different.

The incompleteness of Xiu Ming's martial arts is particularly severe. It is not the kind that has a first half but no second half.

Except for the missing part, the existing ones are also mixed.

"Although I failed to cultivate it, my exploration of the golden finger was successful."

Zhou Qing thought silently in his heart: "It seems that my placement column does not have the ability to deduce or even integrate the exercises."

"Put it there for cultivation, no more, no less."

He could accept this result.

It is placed for cultivation, and it is not a technique modifier or technique fusion device.

Its only ability is obviously to be placed and automatically cultivated.

It fits his name very well.

Then Zhou Qing took out the secret technique of the mind's eye again, and after a while, the name appeared on the placement column.

There is a door.

After getting started with the current technique, Zhou Qing switched to the mind-eye secret technique, waiting for it to be introduced.

The secret arts are quite magical, some of them do not have the level divisions like entry level and minor success level, for example, the method of annihilation of both body and soul and the method of awakening the soul and nourishing the spirit are like this.

Some do exist, such as eating the mist and consuming the air. The efficiency of eating the mist and consuming the air in different stages of absorbing and refining various energies of heaven and earth is different.

Zhou Qing was already looking forward to the magic of his mind's eyes.

…

It was dawn.

Zhou Qing left Yunlong City under the gaze of the Dragon Girl.

When Zhou Qing returned to the martial arts gym, he found that the senior sister seemed unaware that Zhou Qing had not returned home all night.

It’s better not to know.

Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue talked about something serious.

"Big sister, you are about to break through to the Bone Refining Realm, and the opponents you will face in the martial arts gym rating will not be simple."

"In addition to realm cultivation, you should also strengthen other areas."

"Somewhere else?" Bai Ruoyue was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"Weapons." Zhou Qing said, "If you can have a Yuanwu weapon, I believe you can better display your strength."

Bai Ruoyue's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"yes!"

Although looking at the world, generally only warriors in the Marrow Cleansing Realm can use Yuanwu weapons.

But if you are particularly wealthy, you can enjoy such treatment in the Bone Refining Realm.

After all, both the bone refining and marrow cleansing realms possess true essence.

When Bai Ruoyue is promoted to Bone Refiner, she must be prepared with a Yuanwu Weapon. No matter how hard life is, we cannot let the child suffer...his mother.

Bai Ruoyue asked: "Does the weapon forger in the county city have the ability to forge Yuanwu weapons?"

"Yes." Zhou Qing nodded.

"Aunt Mo told me that the Master Yuan we met before had this ability."

As the most famous weaponsmith in Tianyue County and a master of the human race in the surrounding counties, it is naturally impossible for him to be able to only refine martial weapons.

If you can’t forge a Yuanwu weapon, you can’t be called a master.

"Then I'll go ask my dad and see if he has any good stuff."

"It doesn't matter if Master doesn't have the materials. I have them here."

"I know, I know. I won't be polite with you."

Bai Ruoyue left with a smile.

But when she came back after a while, her face looked a little confused.

"Junior brother, I may not need to ask Master Yuan to forge weapons."

"Huh?" Zhou Qing was stunned, then reacted.

"Master, have you prepared weapons?"

Bai Ruoyue nodded and said:

"I told my father about the weapon forging, and he said he had prepared it for me more than ten years ago, and would give it to me when you advance to the bone refining level."

More than ten years ago?

Zhou Qing had a guess, maybe it was left to her by the eldest sister's mother.

If you think about it carefully, Ling Yue's cultivation must have surpassed the internal organs realm at that time. It was normal for her to have a Yuanwu weapon given her talent and background, and to leave the weapon behind when she was separated from her husband and daughter.

"Since Master has prepared something, that's better. We don't have to wait any longer." Zhou Qing said with a smile, "And what Master gives you is definitely more suitable for you."

Bai Ruoyue nodded happily, feeling that her father still doted on her.

Bai Ruoyue doesn't need to find someone to forge weapons, but Zhou Qing still needs it.

He was very wealthy and had the financial resources to own a Yuanwu weapon in advance.

Even though Yuanwu soldiers need true energy to fully exert their power, they are still inferior to Wu soldiers.

It must be hard! (End of this chapter)
