After leaving Qin Ming and the others, Zhou Qing separated from Wu Duguan.

Manager Wu was seriously injured and had been busy all night. Now that people from Zhongtian City have arrived, he can finally rest and recuperate.

Zhou Qing had no problem, the only person he personally dealt with was Venerable Yin Tian, ​​but he also used other means to deal with this demon.

The only one who took a direct attack was resisted by Zhou Qing using various means.

After the battle ended last night, looking around, he, who had fought with the strongest enemy, was in the best situation.

It's true that things are unpredictable.

After returning to his residence, Zhou Qing put in place many shields to ensure that no one could spy on him, and then began to check what he had reaped from last night.

After a night of running around, it’s time to relax.

Last night, he obtained five two-colored treasure chests and several treasure chests of other colors. This harvest was really not small.

Five two-colored treasure chests meant that he had obtained five Yin God True Blood-level treasures.

After this month's accumulation, it is estimated that only a small number of Yin Shen True Blood practitioners can be richer than him.

If you rob it, you will become rich instantly.

Because he had the permission from various masters, he could go wherever he wanted, which was very convenient, and the efficiency of opening treasure chests was greatly increased.

Looking at these treasures, Zhou Qing sighed in his heart, it must be the county town.

He had obtained a considerable number of two-color treasure chests in the county town.

In just the two days he spent traveling to the county town with the father and daughter during the day, he had obtained a total of seven two-colored treasure chests, in addition to the gains from his previous visit.

The quality of treasure chests in Heiyun Town and other counties in Tianyue County cannot be compared with that in Tianyue City.

Not only are there more two-color treasure chests, but the overall level of treasure chests here is also higher than that in other counties.

Wooden treasure chests, stone treasure chests, and those useless things basically never appeared.

However, not every famous place in the county city can produce two-color treasure chests. Places like Queyuedan Pavilion, Qianbingfang, and County Magistrate's Mansion only have gold treasure chests.

Even the Golden Dragon Martial Arts School, one of the four major martial arts schools, only had golden treasure chests, which made Zhou Qing feel unlucky at the time.

Does the Golden Dragon Martial Arts School really only pay out gold?

I wonder what amazing gains Zhou Qing would have if he were in Yujing now.

Of course, if you are in Yujing, it is inevitable that the treasure chests are generally of extremely high levels, but the greater probability is that Zhou Qing is stuck on a treasure chest and cannot get it, so the golden finger this month is equivalent to being scrapped.

For example, if a treasure chest spawns in Queen Qi's palace...

Then Zhou Qing can open a chicken shop.

He first checked the treasures in various treasure chests from low to high. After seeing more, Zhou Qing's vision improved. Even if he didn't know the origin of some treasures, he could roughly judge their functions.

The treasures he didn't recognize were kept separately and would be examined by his personal appraiser later.

Among the treasures below two colors, Zhou Qing can actually use very few of them directly, and only those that assist in cultivation can be used directly.

Then there are the martial arts and Taoist techniques. If you have nothing to do, you can read more to broaden your horizons, or read some materials and talismans to save you in an emergency.

Most of them were collected by him for future use.

For example, if one day one is short of a medicinal ingredient for alchemy, he can just take it out, which would be very convenient.

However, even if Zhou Qing himself cannot use them, it will not affect the value of these treasures at all.

When you need something in the future, you can exchange it for the treasures you have accumulated now.

You can be so rich that you have more than enough money, but you must never be so poor that you have nothing.

Then Zhou Qing began to check the treasures that were opened from the five two-colored treasure chests. The first thing was extremely conspicuous, and Zhou Qing kept it in mind after opening the box.

A tree.

That’s right, he had grown another magical tree whose function was unknown.

It's almost become a tree wholesaler.

The tree was black in color and had no fruits on it. Instead, it had flower buds. Zhou Qing counted them carefully and found that there were a total of thirty-six flower buds.

This corresponds to the number of fruits on the sacred tree that he had opened from the treasure chest of the Yuan family. There were also thirty-six green fruits hanging there.

Perhaps the number thirty-six is ​​a lower limit for a sacred tree of this level? There are various patterns on the surface of the flower bud on the sacred tree in front of him. Zhou Qing looked at it and felt a little dizzy, and his soul power was surging.

This reaction made Zhou Qing roughly understand which realm of treasure this tree belonged to.

It is probably a sacred tree corresponding to the Taoist magic of souls and spirits, but its specific function is not clear for the moment.

Zhou Qing thought to himself, "This tree was obtained from the Huang family. Although the Huang family practices both Taoism and martial arts, they are better at Taoism after all. It makes sense for them to have a soul tree."

"In this way, including the sacred tree that bloomed from the Yuan family, I now have two treasures of this kind, both martial arts and souls."

The two major families in Tianyue City "gave" Zhou Qing two sacred trees respectively, which made Zhou Qing very satisfied.

A sacred tree that can continue to grow is undoubtedly much more precious than a single Yin-Shen spiritual plant. After all, the latter will be gone once it is used.

Zhou Qing put the sacred tree away with satisfaction, intending to plant it after he went to Xuandu Temple and obtained the status of a true disciple.

There is no need to keep this kind of soul tree in Taibai Martial Arts School.

Taibai is a martial arts school, not a dojo.

The second two-colored treasure was a pure white lotus. Zhou Qing took a look at it, but couldn't figure out its origin, so he put the lotus away.

This lotus was obtained from the treasure chest that was refreshed at the place where we fought against the Tianmu Sect last night.

Zhou Qing estimated that this lotus should be very precious, after all, it was a treasure chest exclusive to large-scale scenes.

The third two-colored piece was a piece of metal the size of an adult. Its size surprised Zhou Qing a little.

The metal is black and has strange patterns on it.

"A piece of divine gold?"

Zhou Qing secretly guessed, but couldn't recognize it, so he put it away carefully.

This is obtained from the treasure chest in Dingwusi.

The fourth two-colored treasure is a pill. There is no doubt that Zhou Qing cannot recognize this thing.

He learned mostly about elixirs from the inheritance of the Three Yin Mountain God.

But the world is so big, and compared to the complete alchemy, the Three Yin inheritance is just the tip of the iceberg.

The contents of the treasure chest are so random, and the probability of them being recorded in the Sanyin inheritance is too small.

This pill was obtained from Luoyu Martial Arts School, so Zhou Qing could only judge that it was probably a magical martial arts pill.

The fifth two-colored treasure is rather strange. It is a statue of a god, about thirty centimeters tall.

This thing was opened from the treasure chest of Fengming Taoist Temple.

It is not surprising to find a statue, but the face of this statue is blank, without any facial features, which looks quite strange.

Zhou Qing tried to probe his mental power into it, and then even more bizarre changes occurred.

This statue directly devoured some of Zhou Qing's spiritual power. After that, the statue's face suddenly began to glow, and its facial features gradually became visible.

Most importantly…

Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. The facial features of the statue that suddenly appeared were actually 70% similar to his.

Obviously, it looked exactly like him. What was going on? At this moment, a ray of light shot out from the statue and entered his forehead. A lot of information appeared in his mind, and Zhou Qing gradually understood the essence of the statue.

This is actually a treasure chest that comes with its own introduction.

Zhou Qing's eyes were filled with surprise, "It turns out that this is the effect..."

The function of this statue is to collect thoughts and incense.

This ability seems somewhat ordinary, because there are many ways to collect thoughts and incense in this world.

Even if they are not gods, as long as they have cultivated to the Yin Shen realm, the cultivators can basically sense the thoughts and incense generated by living beings and collect them.

Even cultivators below the Yin God level can access and collect thoughts and incense as long as they have unique methods.

This was the case with Su Tiannv in the Tianmu Sect’s stronghold in Qinghua County.

This kind of power is very mysterious to the majority of independent cultivators, but to the major forces with a long history, there are many studies on thoughts and incense.

There is already a complete set of procedures for using thoughts and incense to refine elixirs and weapons, and to set up formations and make talismans.

Therefore, if this statue only has the ability to collect thoughts and incense, then it is really not worthy of the two-color treasure chest.

But its capabilities go beyond that.

This statue can both collect and purify thoughts and incense.

Thoughts and incense can be said to be one of the most complex forces in the world. Each school has its own way of purifying them, and the effects can be good or bad.

But the one who can purify this power best is the God himself.

This power is one of the foundations of gods. They are born with a unique ability to control thoughts and incense. This can be said to be an innate magical power bestowed by heaven and earth.

Well, the transformation from a human to a god is equivalent to the first coming to the world. It is reasonable to call the abilities that he directly possesses after becoming a god innate supernatural powers.

This innate magical power of purifying thoughts and incense involves the subsequent practice of the gods, and its effect cannot be compared with the purification methods created by various schools.

This is not man-made, but God-given.

Even gods do not dare to refine the thoughts and incense they have just collected to assist in their practice. They have to purify them once or even several times before using them.

Refining thoughts and incense to improve strength is a result of the special nature of the gods themselves, and cultivators cannot imitate it.

Any cultivator with potential would not choose to refine thoughts and incense to improve himself, for fear of polluting the essence of his soul. Even if it has been purified, they dare not refine it directly.

However, there is no doubt that the incense sticks purified by the gods are the best and purest incense sticks available in the world, and they are extremely precious.

The legendary incense that is without any impurities, as pure as white paper without any contaminating power, and can be used directly by monks to improve their cultivation without any consequences has never appeared. It is really just a legend.

Whether it is used to refine external objects, or if a cultivator feels that his potential has been exhausted and wants to try relying on his thoughts and incense, refining thoughts and incense are the best choice and will have the best effect.

The power of this statue is exactly the same as that of a god.

It can purify the collected thoughts and incense, and eventually reach divine quality, which is no different from the thoughts and incense purified by real gods.

In other words, this statue is equivalent to a clay god that only has the ability to collect and purify thoughts and incense.

With the statue, Zhou Qing had a deity serving him all the time in terms of thoughts and incense.

Because this is a two-colored treasure, the quality of the divine incense that is finally purified is similar to that of a normal Yin Shen realm god.

After figuring out the purpose of this statue, Zhou Qing fell into deep thought.

This thing may seem mysterious, but when it comes to thoughts and incense, it all comes down to people.

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

The more people "worship" the gods, the more thoughts and incense the statues can collect.

However, Da Qi prohibited the widespread spread of faith in gods.

"This thing is actually more effective in those chaotic and disorderly places, or in evil sects like Tianmu Sect."

This thought popped up in Zhou Qing’s mind.

But then he thought of another function of the statue.

Even if there is no way to collect thoughts and incense publicly, he can also choose to do the purification business!

If someone has incense that needs to be purified but can't find a deity to help, he can help generously and charge a handling fee afterwards.

And it is well known that some loss is normal for purification, right? "This treasure is quite interesting."

Zhou Qing thought about it and called An Lang out.

After An Lang came out, he asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

When Zhou Qingqing was counting the treasures in the treasure chest, she didn't let An Lang sense anything outside.

Otherwise, An Lang would find that he hadn't been anywhere, hadn't gained any opportunities, and yet he had taken out one magical treasure after another...

"Pray to this statue and see what happens."

Just as humans have thoughts, ghosts naturally have them too, and can also generate thoughts and incense.

An Lang looked at the statue, somewhat surprised, "Sir, why does the statue look so much like you?"

Zhou Qing said: "Don't ask so many questions, just start praying!"

He refined the statue, so it looks like him. However, because of the refining, it is useless for Zhou Qing to worship the god and pray by himself, as it will not generate the power of thoughts and incense.

Otherwise he would pray on his own and there would be no need for An Lang to come.

If worshiping yourself can generate the power of thoughts and incense, then you can go directly to heaven by just stepping on your left foot with your right foot.

Thoughts and incense are perpetual motion machines, right? "Oh."

An Lang nodded and was about to pray, then asked: "What should I say? Is there a prayer?"

"… Just say it casually, if that doesn't work, make a wish."

An Lang understood now, and started praying directly without making any sound. No one knew what he was mumbling in his heart.

After An Lang finished praying, Zhou Qing saw a faint light flying out from An Lang and entering the statue.

Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. Is this the power of thoughts and incense collected by the statue?

An Lang looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Sir, how is it?"

"Okay, good job."

Zhou Qing nodded. An Lang did not see the power of that thought incense. It could only be discovered from the perspective of "God".

This is why some Taoist temples have so many incense burners and thriving faith, but no one can see the gathering of thoughts and incense.

Zhou Qing refined the statue, so he could naturally do it.

"Do you have any bad feelings?"

"No, it feels normal."

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Go and have fun by yourself."

An Lang left quietly. She felt suffocated being alone in the haunted house.

There is a special space inside the statue, which is the place to store thoughts and incense.

Zhou Qing sensed the faint thought and incense inside and frowned slightly.

He felt something was wrong, something was odd.

Isn’t it too simple for this statue to collect thoughts and incense?

Whether it is gods or monks, if they want to collect thoughts and incense, the most important thing is the heart of the subject of the thoughts and incense, that is, whether the people who worship and pray believe in them or not.

Like the Tianmu cult stronghold in Qinghua County, only when the Tianmu believers go to the Tianmu statue to pray can the Su Tianmu collect their thoughts and incense.

It is not the case that any passerby who knows nothing about the goddess can come and pray to the statue and generate ideas and incense.

The same is true for gods collecting thoughts and incense. They need believers.

This is why Da Qi directly prohibited gods from publicizing their existence and deeds.

If the people don't know you and you can't perform miracles, how can they believe in you and worship you? Anonymity is the biggest limitation for gods.

Not to mention that An Lang's prayer was so careless.

The process that An Lang just performed, in front of normal believers, was simply...

It's unbearable to watch.

A prayer just like a joke, can it also give rise to thoughts and incense?

It was at this time that Zhou Qing realized this problem.

This doesn't make sense! Zhou Qing thought for a moment and then wondered, "Could it be that because the statue looks like me, An Lang's faith in me has also taken effect on the statue?"

This is not impossible.

An Lang doesn't believe in God, but he is definitely different from you in An Lang's eyes.

However, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, so Zhou Qing decided to give it another try.

He walked out of the inn and found a beggar in Tianyue City. After changing his appearance, he asked the beggar to pray to the statue.

Then I actually gathered a little bit of faint thoughts about incense.

Zhou Qing was silent, and then he looked for several people to try again, and they all got the same results.

The prayers of these people are varied, but they have one thing in common: they are simple, hasty and perfunctory.

You mean they believe in idols? No kidding.

After the birth of the thought incense, these people did not encounter any problems and everything was fine.

He tried other things, such as just worshipping once without any prayers.

There are actually some thoughts of incense being collected.

Zhou Qing was confused. No, aren't you being too overbearing?

If a dog passes by you, does it have to offer some thoughts and incense before it can leave? After various attempts, Zhou Qing finally returned to his residence. He felt that this statue seemed to be quite extraordinary...

Compared with other people, gods or methods that collect thoughts and incense, it is too easy for statues to collect thoughts and incense.

It's simply robbery.

No matter whether you know me or not, believe in me or not, if you have any intention of worshipping or praying in front of me, then I'm sorry.

Here you go!

Zhou Qing was shocked. What kind of idol was this? It was simply the best of gods! He had been wrong before. This thing was actually most suitable for the imperial court to use. Let the local government call on the people in the territory to worship it, and the incense would come directly.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath, put the statue away, and decided to keep it as his own secret and not let others know about it easily.

Otherwise he was afraid of being robbed.

However, if he were the emperor...

Stop, stop, don’t think about this anymore.

This evening, Qin Ming sent someone to invite him over.

"Qin Duguan."

Qin Ming nodded and said, "The matter of Tianyue City has probably been sorted out."

The efficiency is very high, but Zhou Qing is not surprised. They are all practitioners, so their thoughts and ideas are naturally not comparable to those of ordinary people.

"You have made a great contribution this time. You saved Tianyue City. You will be rewarded handsomely."

"If you have any requests, you can also raise them."

When Zhou Qing heard this, an idea popped into his mind.

Then, I am the emperor...
