When Zhou Qing finished today's Yunjiang expedition and just came ashore with his spoils, he felt the earth shaking, the river water splashing, and the fish scrambling to jump out of the water.
“Boom!”
Zhou Qing felt the shaking and quickly moved away from Yunjiang.
"An earthquake?"
Zhou Qing looked in all directions and found that although there was a vibration on his side, with Yunjiang as the boundary, it did not cause much substantial damage.
But across the river, the shaking and cracking in the direction of Black Mountain was more severe than in other directions.
The ground near the Black Mountain was cracked, and the cracks became bigger the closer to the Black Mountain.
Far away, the Black Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist was also shaking constantly, as if it was about to break, but it finally stabilized.
After the earthquake subsided, Zhou Qing dragged the corpse of the wild beast he had harvested today and ran towards the martial arts hall.
He was the only one who came to Yunjiang today.
In Heiyun Town, everyone was in chaos, frightened by the earthquake. There were houses collapsed, people were injured, there were cries of pain, and panicked figures were seen.
Natural disasters are the most cruel.
If Heiyun Town was on the other side of Yunjiang River, the vibration that could cause the earth to crack would be enough to destroy the town.
Although Black Cloud Town has also suffered losses, they are extremely small, which is a blessing in disguise.
Back at the martial arts gym, many apprentices gathered together to discuss the earthquake, and He Feng was maintaining order.
Zhou Qing went directly to the backyard and met Bai Ruoyue and the others. They were also discussing the earthquake that had just occurred.
"How could there be a sudden earthquake? Such an incident hasn't happened in Black Cloud Town for many years."
"I'm afraid no one in the entire Black Cloud Town has ever experienced an earthquake!"
"I suspect something happened in Heishan!" Zhou Qing quickly told what he saw by the Yunjiang River.
"There is chaos in Black Mountain, and now it is suspected to be the source of the earthquake... What exactly happened in Black Mountain?" Bai Ruoyue murmured, worry emerging in her eyes.
Her father is still in Montenegro!
Calculating the time, we have been in Montenegro for six days, and still no news.
With Daytime's cultivation level, it wouldn't take long to travel to and from Black Mountain normally.
The fact that he has not returned for six days means that he must have gone deep into the Black Mountains.
There are so many abnormal things happening in Montenegro at the moment that it is really hard to feel at ease.
"Third Junior Brother, go to the area near the martial arts gym and see if there's any area affected by the disaster. We'll help if we can." Bai Ruoyue said to Zhang Yuantao.
Zhang Yuantao agreed and went out with a few fellow apprentices, leaving only Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue.
Zhou Qing has something to say to Bai Ruoyue.
"Big sister, there is a mountain god in Black Mountain. Things like this shouldn't happen."
"Most of the seismic force did not pass through Yunjiang. I'm afraid it's because of the Dragon King's blessing."
Others thought that the Mountain God and Dragon King were just legends, but Zhou Qing and the others now knew that these two really existed.
The mountain god lives in Montenegro, but such things still happen there. It’s terrifying to think about it.
Bai Ruoyue paced back and forth, "No, I have to go find Aunt Mo, Junior Brother, you stay in the martial arts hall."
Bai Ruoyue left in a hurry.
"The Black Mountain suddenly became chaotic, today's earthquake, and Aunt Mo said that the situation of those foreign monks is a bit complicated..."
All this information always gave Zhou Qing a bad feeling.
Hoping to return safely during the day, Zhou Qingzhen didn't want to see anything happen to his master.
Bai Ruoyue left in a hurry and came back in a hurry.
"What do you mean?"
"Aunt Mo said that nothing will happen to my dad and the other two." Bai Ruoyue looked a little more relaxed.
"As for today's earthquake, the government will be responsible for disaster relief. The specific cause... is still under investigation."
"Aunt Mo also told us not to enter Black Mountain in the near future."
Next, Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue were not idle either, and went to help those affected by the disaster.
Although the government will be responsible for disaster relief, the people living near Taibai Martial Arts School have been robbed, so Taibai disciples will naturally not sit idly by.
It wasn't until night that things were basically over.
After returning home, Zhou Qing did not delay and looked inward to his soul.
Sure enough, after that visualization and energy gathering this morning, his soul realm had expanded a little more.
The soul absorbs vital energy not only to strengthen the soul, but also to allow the soul to transform and have more possibilities.
There was another change in the Soul Land that surprised Zhou Qing.
The golden mantra seed had sprouted at some point and had grown to the height of an adult's calf.
There is also a golden flower bud on it, about to bloom.
Judging from the growth rate, it will probably bear fruit tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest. It won’t be long before Zhou Qing can learn the Golden Light Mantra!
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
That's wonderful.
Zhou Qing was already looking forward to the majestic sight of himself being protected by golden light.
Entering the secret realm of the fairy tree and calling up the data panel, Zhou Qing saw the changes he had expected.
【……】
[Soul Realm: Out-of-Body Realm]
[Physical Realm: Skin and Flesh Realm (Minor Accomplishment)]
[Physical Strength: 1/4]
【thing:……】
His physical strength increased a little because he had reached the Out-of-Body Realm! He had already chopped down trees three times today, but now he could chop down trees once more. With his strength improved, the upper limit of the quality of the dropped rewards would also be increased.
After twelve o'clock tonight, you can chop it four more times.
With one axe swing, two balls of light fell.
[The Seed of Taoism: The Divine Mantra for Purifying Heaven and Earth]
[The seeds containing the Taoist Divine Mantra for Purifying Heaven and Earth can be planted in the Soul Land and watered with spiritual power. When they sprout, grow, bloom and bear fruit, you can obtain the Divine Mantra Fruit for Purifying Heaven and Earth. Eating it can help you comprehend the Taoist Divine Mantra for Purifying Heaven and Earth.]
[Taoist mantra on par with the Golden Light Mantra]
[Quasi-Magic Instrument: Shaking Iron Rope]
[A quasi-magic weapon with the ability to arrest and bind. It should have been a magic weapon, but the impurities in the main material were not removed during forging, so it is unfortunately a quasi-magic weapon.]
Zhou Qing was very satisfied with these two dropped items, both of which were useful.
Zhou Qing had never heard of the Divine Mantra of Purifying Heaven and Earth in his previous life, but since it was listed alongside the Golden Light Mantra, it would naturally not be ordinary. Zhou Qing was looking forward to the day when it would come to fruition.
A quasi-magic weapon shaking the iron rope is much better than a piece of magic weapon fragment.
At the same time, Zhou Qing also discovered that this quasi-magic weapon should have been refined into a magic weapon, but something went wrong during the refining process, so it fell half a level.
If these problems can be solved, then the quasi-magic weapon may be able to be promoted to a magic weapon.
The quasi-magical weapons Zhou Qing obtained were all transformed from the power of the immortal tree. There was no refining procedure involved, but the possibility of upgrading them to magical weapons still existed.
After chopping down the tree, Zhou Qing immediately began to cultivate his soul.
After lighting a stick of protective incense, Zhou Qing began to visualize and refine the vital energy of heaven and earth.
Zhou Qing was also thinking about how to come up with a secret technique to assist in his cultivation.
His current speed of refining the vital energy of heaven and earth is not slow, but it would naturally be best if it could be faster.
As he continued to visualize, the illusion enveloped Zhou Qing again, but unfortunately it did not affect him at all.
Even though there were so many beauties around, Zhou Qing saw through the illusion without any delay.
After what happened in the secret room in the morning, Zhou was like a sage, without any worldly desires.
