Now after learning more secrets of cultivation, Zhou Qingyi made a comparison.

I found that being alive is really good.

As long as you have this life, at least you won't encounter some messy disasters.

Practicing cultivation while alive is the right way of heaven and earth.

Zhou Qing asked again: "After going through the Netherworld Tribulation and Life and Death Tribulation, will there be similar tribulations when you break through again in the future?"

He planned to learn more about these things. If he were a casual cultivator, he would have no way of obtaining this information.

If someone who doesn't know this information manages to cultivate to this level by chance, then he will be caught off guard without any preparation and won't know how he died.

These are all valuable experiences.

"After going through these two tribulations, there will basically be no problems. You can practice normally, just like human cultivators, and you won't encounter any additional tribulations."

"It can be said that it is equivalent to the reincarnation of the netherworld. The cycle of life and death acknowledges their existence."

The funeral of the dead child was held and the household registration was cancelled, but after a long time the child reappeared in a different state.

This is indeed hard to accept, and it is normal not to approve of them.

But the Mother of the World is not an ordinary being after all. The appearance of the Netherworld Tribulation and the Life and Death Tribulation is equivalent to re-recognizing ghosts and zombies if they can pass the test.

Everything in the world has a glimmer of hope.

However, Zhou Qing keenly discovered the blind spot in Ao Xuanwei's words.

"Basically no problem, what does that mean? Are there any exceptions?"

"There are indeed exceptions. If a ghost or zombie can cultivate to the level of immortality, then according to my father, the power of the thunder tribulation they face will be greater than that of normal creatures like us."

Ao Xuanwei held her chin with one hand and looked at Zhou Qing, "The more powerful the thunder tribulation is, the smaller the hope of surviving it will be."

"It is very difficult for aliens to become immortals."

"But there aren't many ghosts and zombies in the world who can cultivate to that level, so this isn't really a problem."

Who would worry about something that will never happen?

Zhou Qing also nodded slightly. It turned out that the second test would only come when one ascends to immortality, which was still a long way from An Lang.

He also didn't know whether An Lang could cultivate to that level.

Zhou Qing is very confident in himself, but An Lang is not him after all.

And even if An Lang really had that day, by the time she needed to overcome the tribulation of immortality, Zhou Qing would have already ascended to immortality.

By then, with the strength of the fairyland, there will naturally be other ways to help An Lang.

This problem is not as urgent and difficult as the Netherworld Tribulation.

"It seems that aliens are really not loved by heaven and earth."

"It's not just ghosts and zombies that have difficulty ascending to heaven, it's also difficult for gods." Ao Xuanwei added: "Gods are enshrined between heaven and earth, and are deeply entangled with all kinds of thoughts and incense. They also have an indelible bond with heaven and earth themselves. It is extremely difficult for them to ascend to heaven and escape all cause and effect and be free and at ease."

"When gods ascend to heaven, they will also face even more dangerous disasters."

"My father said that if the Black Mountain God is not a deity, then there is a high probability that He will be able to successfully ascend to heaven."

Zhou Qing's heart moved. This meant that the Black Mountain God might be just one step away from successfully ascending to heaven, otherwise Yunjiang Dragon King would not have said such a thing.

But in fact, we can’t blame the God of Gods for dragging down the Black Mountain God.

Because if he had not been deified in the first place, he would not be alive today, nor would he have been able to cultivate to the level of becoming an immortal.

I enjoyed the benefits of being a god in the past, but now I’m being dragged down. It’s really hard to say anything.

You have to know that people of the same generation as the Black Mountain God, if they had not been able to ascend to heaven or be deified, would have died of old age long ago.

Four hundred years have passed, which is not something a normal practitioner can withstand.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. That's the truth.

"In addition, it is extremely difficult for members of the royal families of all dynasties to ascend to heaven. The reason why they have difficulty ascending to heaven is similar to that of gods."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Qing was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he found it reasonable.

The gods are entangled with all kinds of thoughts and incense, but compared with the royal family, such entanglements seem insignificant.

The royal family established a dynasty, ruled over the magnificent rivers and mountains, and affected billions of lives. Such cause and effect, and the thoughts and incense carried here, are too terrifying.

The life and death, hope and despair of billions of lives, all kinds of emotions are nurtured on this land and are pinned on the dynasty.

This is the greatest carrier of thoughts and incense in the world.

If the royal family doesn’t bear these responsibilities, who will?

Although there are many areas where the royal family has no jurisdiction or governance, and although the royal family also has forces that need to be respected.

Aristocratic families, clans and the imperial court share the world; this is the real situation.

But the endless wishes and causes and effects born on this land don't care about these.

They only "look for" the nominal masters of the dynasty.

Ao Xuanwei said again:

“Some imperial families have produced immortals, but that was before they established a dynasty. Once a dynasty is established, no matter whether the dynasty exists or dies, no imperial family will ever produce another immortal master.”

"Before the establishment of Qi and Jin, there were actually forces that were capable of competing with the Bai family of Qi and the Sima family of Jin for the world. There were even forces that were stronger and more prestigious than these two families, but few people chose to take on the dynasty."

"Once you fall into this trap, your family's strength can indeed expand to the extreme in a short period of time, but it is equivalent to cutting off your hope of becoming an immortal in the future."

Having said that, Ao Xuanwei solemnly warned Zhou Qing.

"You can make friends with the people of the Imperial Family, but you must not become one of them, especially not give birth to offspring with them."

"Once something like this happens, you will be bound to the Imperial Family, and your future ascension to immortality will be affected."

“…”

Zhou Qing didn't expect Ao Xuanwei to suddenly say such a thing.

"I don't know any princess."

Ao Xuanwei smiled and said, "You don't know her now, but when you become more famous and stronger, a princess will take the initiative to get to know you."

"In short, you must remember that you can serve as an official in the court, be crowned a king or become a prime minister, but you must never join an imperial family."

"Not only the current Three Kingdoms royal families, but also other royal families left over from history will also affect the ascension to immortality."

Joining the imperial court and joining the imperial family are two completely different concepts.

The former will not be affected.

After all, you are not the master of the world. In Da Qi, only the Qi Bai family can be called the master of the world. The negative impact of difficulty in ascending to heaven will only fall on them.

Even though they are not a royal family, few of their clansmen can cultivate to the level of immortality.

This negative impact is actually not that serious.

As for Da Qi, it was a dynasty ruled by the people...

No way, I was just talking, and you really believed it?

Throughout the dynasties, no matter what kind of political system it was, the people were never the masters of the dynasty.

"This bottle of medicine..."

Ao Xuanwei poured out a pill from the jade bottle, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it gently, as if trying to identify the medicinal properties.

The dragon race likes to collect treasures. In addition to all kinds of treasure knowledge, they also have a natural ability to appraise treasures, and can analyze the effects of treasures they have never seen before.

After all, the dragons are not omniscient, and when they encounter unknown treasures, they need to use their innate ability to identify treasures.

This way you can collect every treasure to the greatest extent possible.

After a while, Ao Xuanwei's face showed strange expression.

She looked at Zhou Qing and said:

"I don't know what this medicine is called, but it is a medicine used to increase strength."

"Assisting in training?"

Zhou Qing was puzzled. "But I have tested it with the methods of an alchemist and did not find that it can improve cultivation."

"No, this kind of elixir is for improving strength, not for enhancing cultivation." Ao Xuanwei said with a smile:

"After taking this pill, you cannot refine it. It will remain in your body. You need to inject your true essence into it. It doesn't need to be much, just a small amount will do."

"Then you can truly activate this elixir."

"activation?"

This word sounds a little subtle when used at this time.

"Yes, that is to activate it. After activation, a great deal of true energy will appear in this pill. Because it is activated by your true energy, you can use the power in the pill without any hindrance."

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

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he roughly understood the effect of this pill.

"It seems you have already guessed it." Ao Xuanwei continued:

"Just as you thought, after this pill is activated, it can bear your subsequent consumption of true energy until the true energy in the pill is completely consumed."

"Then the pill will dissolve. The outermost layer is the condensation of medicinal power. After it dissolves, it can be refined. It can probably nourish the body without any side effects."

"This elixir is very interesting. If you take it before fighting someone, your true essence will be so strong that it will make the enemy despair."

That's wonderful.

Zhou Qing didn't expect that the things that came out of a golden treasure chest would be so interesting.

With this pill, if a battle ends quickly enough, then by the time it ends, his true energy will still be full.

What is consumed is the true essence in this pill.

Apart from consuming some physical strength, it can be said to be a lossless battle.

This kind of medicine is indeed a very useful treasure.

Although it is not used to improve cultivation, Zhou Qing prefers it.

As for the elixirs that could improve his cultivation, he generally didn't use them much at other times, except for the two months when he used the [Great Thousand Immortal Tree] and the [Creation Pot], because they contained poison.

The medicinal power of the elixir for cultivation needs to be thoroughly refined by the human body and eventually integrated into the foundation. The impurities will become difficult to resolve. A small amount is fine, but once it accumulates, it will be a big problem.

Other types of elixirs, such as those for healing and restoring vital energy, have nothing to do with foundation, so there is no need to worry.

Now, this kind of elixir not only improves one's strength in disguise, but also has no side effects and the effect is so interesting, which makes Zhou Qing like it even more.

"What level of true essence does the elixir reserve? Is the quantity large?" Zhou Qing asked again.

"The level of the True Essence that activates the elixir is the same as the level of the True Essence inside. This should be considered a kind of imitation of True Essence." Ao Xuanwei replied:

"It's a marrow cleansing-level elixir, so the total amount of true essence contained in it is probably about the same as that of a marrow cleansing warrior."

"This pill is also considered top-grade, so the total amount should be comparable to that of a warrior who has completed the marrow cleansing. However, the total amount of true essence of an ordinary warrior who has completed the marrow cleansing is not the amount you will have when you cultivate to that level in the future."

Zhou Qing was overjoyed. These were not a problem. As long as the quantity was large enough, any shortcomings could be made up for.

With this kind of elixir, it is equivalent to him having another qi sea and another set of meridians. Although the quality is the same as his own true essence, its breadth is much greater.

It can’t be used up. It can never be used up.

Zhou Qing could even use his own true energy to fight the enemy first, and after it was exhausted, he could start drawing true energy from the elixir to slowly restore his true energy.

I could fight you all day.

Dingwusi is awesome, I will visit you again in the future.

The reason why this kind of elixir is only at the marrow cleansing level is that the power inside it cannot be converted into true energy and is useless to true blood warriors.

Looking at Ao Xuanwei's expression, Zhou Qing said generously:

"Since you are interested, I will give you a few pills."

There are a total of nine pills in this bottle, and Zhou Qing had already counted them.

Giving Ao Xuanwei a few of them is not a big deal as he can still use them.

When you ask someone for a favor, it's only right to give them something.

Ao Xuanwei smiled and said, "I am indeed somewhat interested. Since you said so, I won't be polite with you."

"But you don't need several. I only need one."

Ao Xuanwei put the pill she had sniffed into another jade bottle and said, "I plan to take it back to the Dragon Palace and show it to Prime Minister Turtle to see if he can analyze the ingredients and refining techniques of this pill and whether it is possible to replicate it."

Zhou Qing nodded, "If the elixir can really be restored, that would be the best."

He had no problem with that.

"If I can gain something, I will share it with you. If I can finally restore the elixir, as long as there is no problem with the materials, I can provide you with such elixir every once in a while."

Ao Xuanwei said: "This kind of elixir will be of great help to you when you travel the world in the future."

This is why Zhou Qing doesn’t mind.

There was no way Ao Xuanwei would take advantage of him or treat him unfairly.

If the elixir formula can be restored, Zhou Qing will also be a beneficiary.

Ao Xuanwei added: "By the way, please give this elixir a name. If it is reproduced, I will use the name you gave it."

"The name...why not just call it Eryuandan?"

Ao Xuanwei nodded, thinking that the name was quite appropriate.

…

The sun is shining in the sky and the flowers are smiling at me.

Because Zhou Qing was a very nice person, he felt that not only the flowers were smiling at him, but the sun seemed to be grinning as well.

He is now on his way back to Black Cloud Town.

He had basically figured out all the treasures that he had opened from the treasure chest, whose functions he had no idea about and whose levels were not low, from Ao Xuanwei.

Although there are some things he cannot use, they are indeed treasures and have considerable value.

It doesn’t matter if he can’t use it. Seeing his wealth growing little by little, Zhou Qing’s heart is filled with joy.

Zhou Qing had experienced this kind of pleasure in hoarding in his previous life.

For example, saving money.

Who wouldn’t be happy to see their balance increase little by little?

After saying goodbye to Ao Xuanwei, Zhou Qing couldn't wait to return to Heiyun Town.

He wanted to continue opening the treasure chests! And whether his leaving Black Cloud Town would affect the subsequent refresh of the treasure chests would soon be revealed.

More than three hundred miles were covered in a short while.

After returning to the town, Zhou Qing first went to take the treasure chest that had appeared before but he had not touched.

He opened a small item and put it directly into the space ring. Then he followed the sensation to find the next treasure chest.

Zhou Qing walked and walked until he walked out of Heiyun Town. When he faced one direction, Zhou Qing fell silent.

Good news, the treasure chest has indeed been refreshed outside of Black Cloud Town.

Bad news, it didn't spawn in Yunlong City, but instead spawned in Heishan.
