Three days later.

"Thank you."

Zhou Qing put away his sword and took a few steps back.

Opposite him, a beautiful Suzhen disciple rubbed his red wrist unwillingly and said:

"Mr. Zhou is indeed a peerless genius who has made it this far on his own. He is truly worthy of his reputation. The rumors in the palace are not only not exaggerated, but rather conservative."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Miss Zhu, you are too kind."

This was the fourth Su Zhen Chuan that he had defeated in the past three days. He was at the same level as him and had just started bone refining.

Suzhen Palace has a long history and there are many true disciples. The true teachings of all realms can be found.

From the visualization of the flesh and skin to the marrow cleansing and manifestation of sainthood, the true teachings exist.

Once the outer and inner sect disciples break through to the daily bone refining stage, if they are unable to advance to the true teaching stage, they will be transformed from being disciples into deacons, becoming managers and starting to share chores for Suzhen Palace.

You can no longer just focus on cultivation like you did when you were a disciple and ignore other things.

But true disciples do not need to do this. Until they are promoted to Yin Shen Zhen Xue, they can maintain their status as disciples and concentrate on cultivation without having to worry about various worldly affairs.

Of course, occasionally there would be true disciples who no longer wanted to participate in the fierce competition for disciples, or for other reasons, they voluntarily became deacons and started to get involved in miscellaneous tasks.

The strength of this Miss Zhu was enough to defeat a normal or even extreme bone refining warrior when she unleashed her full strength. Unfortunately, she still lost to Zhou Qing.

There are also different levels of true teachings. Miss Zhu obviously does not have the kind of top-notch true teachings that can kill the enemy by crossing an entire realm.

But a person like her is superior to all the disciples in Suzhen Palace, and she is even more legendary outside.

Unfortunately, the legend encountered an even more legendary one.

The three Su Zhen disciples who had been defeated by Zhou Qing before were both warriors and cultivators, all of whom were amazing figures that could not be seen in the outside world.

Although they all lost, it also allowed Zhou Qing to experience the strength of the top Taoist sects, and also gave him a general understanding of the situation of the Xuandu Temple that he was about to join.

It’s just a pity that Zhou Qing didn’t have the chance to meet the most outstanding disciples under Jiang Yanyao during these three days, nor did he get to fight with them.

To be honest, there was no need to proactively seek out an outsider like Zhou Qing to learn from those top-notch secrets.

Victory doesn't mean anything, it just seems natural, but defeat would be a huge loss.

Once your fame is gone, you will be laughed at in Suzhen Palace for a long time.

Among the four Su Zhen disciples who fought with Zhou Qing for three days, three were from the Holy Maiden Peak and only one was from outside the Holy Maiden Peak.

Miss Zhu said goodbye and left, and Zhou Qing returned to the place he had found to live at the foot of the mountain, his eyes filled with worry.

Although he had a good time during the past three days and was extremely satisfied with the training environment here, Zhou Qing was now sweating profusely.

Shen Yu hasn't come back yet, and this is the last day of the mission she accepted.

The missions that Shen Yu could accept with his current cultivation level were not difficult. Moreover, they were carried out in the primitive area near Suzhen Palace. It was quite rare that there was no movement for seven days.

Zhou Qing has been waiting, and as time goes by, he becomes more and more uneasy.

It’s over. Sister Yu wouldn’t have run into problems the first time.

As dusk approached, Zhou Qing could no longer sit still and prepared to go find Jiang Yanyao to ask.

But not long after he left the house, he sensed something, stopped and looked back.

Someone climbed up the Holy Maiden Peak with brisk steps and approached him. After a while, he saw the person poking his head out from the bushes.

Then Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yu is back.

But then I wanted to laugh again. During this time in Suzhen Palace, I have learned to hit the punctual time, right?

"ah?!"

When Shen Yu saw Zhou Qing, she screamed and froze.

"Junior brother?"

She pinched herself, wondering if she was hallucinating. This was clearly the Holy Maiden Peak, and her junior brother should be in Black Cloud Town.

But it hurts after pinching it.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Senior Sister Yu, why don't I help you pinch it? I'm very strong."

"Are you really my junior brother?" Shen Yu's eyes lit up and he ran over.

"Why are you here?"

"I came here specially to see you." Zhou Qing said, "I came here three days ago, but you were not there, so I have been waiting for you here."

"I just came back from a mission today." Shen Yu said with some annoyance:

"If I had known you would come, I wouldn't have gone out earlier."

If she didn't go out, Zhou Qing wouldn't have to wait for three days, and they could spend three days together.

This plus and minus equals six days! "Come on, come on, Junior Brother, come with me to my place. Oh no, I have to tell Senior Sister Jiang that I'm back first."

Seeing Shen Yu's impetuous look, Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I'll go with you."

"By the way, Master and Senior Sister have come to see you, right?"

That’s right, the father and daughter also came here during the day. This was the information Zhou Qing learned from Jiang Yanyao.

"They came to see me." Shen Yu nodded, "I didn't expect that such a thing would happen to Master, and that the life story of the senior sister would be like this."

"They should have arrived in Yujing and met the Master's wife by now, right?"

"But Senior Sister only told me that you guys are still staying in Black Cloud Town. She didn't tell me that Junior Brother might come to see me."

Zhou Qing guessed: "Maybe they knew I would come to visit you, and wanted me to talk to you in person."

"It's a surprise, isn't it?"

“It was indeed a pleasant surprise.”

After meeting Jiang Yanyao, Zhou Qing was taken to Shen Yu's residence.

Except for Jiang Yanyao's palace, other buildings on the Holy Maiden Peak are relatively simple.

They are all like simple wooden houses, or small attics with one or two floors.

Shen Yu's residence is relatively good, it is a two-story attic, all of which were left behind by former disciples of the Holy Maiden Peak.

"Senior Sister Yu, why did it take you so long to complete the sect mission this time? You even dragged it on until the last day."

"I discovered some unexpected things when I went out this time. I and a few other sisters found a treasure, and we wasted some time trying to find it."

Shen Yu explained: "That is a rare bone refining material. It can be exchanged for some contributions. If everyone divides it equally, they can get a good share."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "This is a lucky chance."

For Shen Yu at this level, being able to obtain a precious bone-refining material can indeed be said to be a great opportunity.

"But Senior Sister Yu, if you encounter something like this next time, you should put your own safety first and don't take risks." Zhou Qing warned:

"Don't even mention the precious materials of the Bone Refining Realm. Even if they are a few levels higher, they will not be as important as your life. You should understand this."

Shen Yu kept nodding her head to indicate that she understood.

"Also, Senior Sister Yu, some of the things I said may not sound so nice, but I still want to remind you."

Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"When you discover treasures outside with other people, you must also be careful of your companions and be on guard against any possible accidents."

Shen Yu is lively and active, but she is definitely not stupid and she understood what Zhou Qing meant.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. I'm on guard. When we go out on a mission, the process will be recorded by the magical instruments we carry with us, just to prevent fellow disciples from killing each other."

"If an accident really happens, the disciples who are lucky enough to come back alive will receive soul-searching inquiries, and I will also pay attention to it myself."

Seeing that Shen Yu understood what he meant, Zhou Qing stopped talking about it.

You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others, even if they are your fellow disciples.

Don’t think that because Suzhen Palace is composed of only female disciples, the internal atmosphere is harmonious.

Good or bad, good or evil, mean or noble, has nothing to do with gender.

Fortunately, the person in front of him was Shen Yu, otherwise Zhou Qing would definitely not say such words, as they would be suspected of trying to sow discord among fellow disciples.

"Tell me about your time in Suzhen Palace..."

The two chatted for a long time, and Zhou Qing had a thorough understanding of Shen Yu's experiences over the past few months. He also told Shen Yu about some things in Heiyun Town and his own plans.

Naturally, Shen Long and the others' letters were also taken out.

"From now on, Second Senior Brother and his friends will stay in Black Cloud Town and work hard to develop Taibai Martial Arts School with the help of Black Mountain Holy Land."

Zhou Qing said: "If you can go back in the future, you will definitely be able to find Second Senior Brother and the others."

"But your main task now is to improve your strength as much as possible. Otherwise, the journey back to Tianyue County is long and unsafe."

Having said that, Zhou Qing took out some gifts he had given to Shen Yu.

There are cultivation resources, weapons and magic tools, and some martial arts techniques.

Speaking of which, Shen Yu was not present when the martial arts school was being evaluated, so she did not receive the Yuanwu soldiers that Da Qi rewarded her for their exceptional evaluation.

This time Zhou Qing directly gave her the supplement and equipped her with a complete set.

Last month, he opened a treasure chest and got Yuanwu soldiers from a silver treasure chest. He had accumulated quite a few of these things.

But giving it to Shen Yu would directly increase her strength dramatically.

Zhou Qing divided the cultivation resources into two parts. He first pointed to the part on the left where the quantity was obviously larger and said, "These cultivation resources are suitable for you now, and they are enough for you to use until you reach the Bone Refining Stage with some left over."

Then he pointed to the part on the right and said, "This part has a higher grade. Most of them are bone refining resources, and there are also a small amount of marrow cleansing resources. For example, this kind of elixir can assist in advancing to the marrow cleansing realm. You can use it in the future."

There is no doubt that these things are just the tip of the iceberg of Zhou Qing's wealth, and they are treasures that he can't use at all.

Leave it in the space ring to collect dust, or give it to Senior Sister Yu to help her become stronger. These are two choices that can be made without hesitation.

Shen Yu stared at these things in a daze, his brain failing to react for a moment.

"With your talent, Senior Sister Yu, the environment of Suzhen Palace, and these resources, you won't have to worry about resources for a long time to come."

Zhou Qing said earnestly: "So Senior Sister Yu, there is no need to take risks for some treasures, and there is no need to waste your training time on some meaningless tasks."

"When it's time to train, you can train, but there's no need to risk your life for resources and treasures."

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

"You said so?"

Verbally persuade Shen Yu not to take risks? Let's not talk nonsense, just do practical things.

The resources are piled up here. Since there is nothing missing, Shen Yu would have to be crazy to still take risks and fight for his life.

On the contrary, people can’t survive, and you still tell them to calm down, stay at home and don’t go out…

Isn't this going to kill people?

Only when you have enough material things can you talk about other things.

Shen Yu has plenty of time now, and can go out to hone his skills in the future, but there is no need to work hard.

There is no need for any earnest persuasion, these glittering things can change Shen Yu's future thoughts.

Rich and willful.

Shen Yu nodded, feeling that what the junior brother said made a lot of sense.

In fact, she is not a warlike person, which is very different from Shen Long. She really prefers to practice peacefully and grow up slowly.

"I also left a lot of things for Taibai Martial Arts School. When I come back from Hanzhou in the future, I'm afraid I'll see a brand new school."

Shen Yu's eyebrows curved, she clenched her fists, and said very firmly:

"It will definitely surprise you, little brother!"

"Then I'll wait and see." Zhou Qing said again:

"You must keep these things safe and don't let anyone else know about them. Just use them yourself."

Jiang Yanyao or other true disciples would definitely not be greedy for such a small thing. The same goes for Zhou Qing's useless treasure and for them.

But there are mostly outer and inner disciples in Suzhen Palace. Once the non-greedy people get to know about it, it is likely to spread more widely and eventually be known by the greedy people.

It is an eternal truth that wealth should not be exposed to others.

"I won't tell anyone!"

Zhou Qing stayed here with Shen Yu for two days and also took a look at her training progress and results.

It can only be said that Suzhen Palace is worthy of being a top Taoist sect. Even though Shen Yu has only been an insider for more than two months, he has made great progress in some aspects.

In terms of practice experience and theoretical guidance, these top Taoist traditions, which have been passed down for thousands of years, can be said to be at the highest peak in the world.

Being able to study in a top school, even if there are no precious resources, with the guidance of the master to lay a flawless foundation, it is common for one to achieve achievements beyond one's own talents without taking any wrong paths.

Two days later, Shen Yu and Jiang Yanyao sent Zhou Qing out of Suzhen Palace, and the huge rock appeared before their eyes again.

"I'm going to Zhongtian City. Goodbye."

After saying goodbye, Zhou Qing flew away as the two women watched him, and Shen Yu kept waving her hands.

"Go back." Jiang Yanyao said softly:

"His trip to Xuandu Temple this time is the time when the dragon returns to the sky and completely soars."

"You have good talent and will be promoted to True Blood in the future. Practice hard and we will meet again in the future."

"I will definitely cultivate to the True Blood Realm!"

Among the seven Taibai singers, after removing the first and the last, Shen Yu is the most talented.

After Zhou Qing brought her the opportunity to cleanse her bones and marrow with the Creation Spirit Liquid, and now she has the opportunity to join the Suzhen Palace, Shen Yu's upper limit is obviously higher than Shen Long and the others.

There is still little hope for Shen Long and others to advance to the true blood realm, but for Shen Yu, hope is real.

What happens to you when you are young will affect your entire life.

As for whether Shen Yu can achieve higher achievements in the future, I dare not say.

The matter of Su Zhen was over, and Zhou Qing was no longer tied down by anything, so this time he headed straight for Zhongtian City.

Speaking of which, there is a benefit waiting for him in Zhongtian City. I wonder if that benefit can meet his expectations.

The sky changed, Zhou Qing arrived at Zhongtian City and went straight into the city.

Compared to the last time I came here, Zhongtian City is as prosperous as ever, and there has been no overall change.

It was already late at this time, so Zhou Qing first found a place to stay, and then went to the Department of Ghosts and Gods to find Qin Ming after dawn the next day.

The journey was smooth. Qin Ming stayed in the Ghost and God Department and did not let Zhou Qingkong run away.

Seeing Zhou Qing coming, Qin Ming smiled and said:

"You came very quickly. I thought you would stay in Tianyang County for some time."

Qin Ming gestured for Zhou Qing to sit anywhere. "After all, Jiuyang Ruins is very famous. Many people can't help but explore it after arriving there. Maybe they can find a shocking opportunity and change their fate."

“Adventure always makes people full of fantasy.”

"It's not that easy to change your fate." Zhou Qing smiled, "Many people think they are special, but in fact they are just one of the common people."

"It's the same for me. It's enough for me to get what I want. I don't dare to hope for anything else."

"Oh?" Qin Ming's eyes lit up, he glanced at Zhou Qing and asked:

"So, you got what you wanted when you went to Jiuyang Ruins?"

"I'm lucky, but I need you to do me two favors."

"Tell me, I will definitely help if I can."

Zhou Qing first took out the sealed Heavenly Fire, "I need to trouble you to seal the outside of this Heavenly Fire, otherwise I won't be able to absorb and refine it."

Qin Ming took the Skyfire, examined it carefully, and then looked at Zhou Qing with deep meaning in his eyes.

"These are not just seals that can be left by one person, and these seals are also very special and have only appeared for a short time."

"This flame is quite violent, and it is difficult for me to tame it by myself. Fortunately, there were some kind people present at the time, so they helped me."

Zhou Qing said sincerely, "But I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to ask those kind people to remove the seal on the flame for me. Now I have to ask you to help me."

“…”

Qin Ming immediately didn't know what to say.

The help of kind people...

That's fine.

Qin Ming could probably guess what the truth was, but what did this have to do with him?

He didn't know those "kind-hearted people" at all, but Zhou Qing was about to join Xuandu Temple, and he was someone he was very optimistic about. Lu Qingmo's lineage also had a very good relationship with him.

A flame without an owner, occupied by those who are capable.

The fact that Zhou Qing was able to obtain the flame proved that it belonged to him, which was something Qin Ming was happy to see. The process was not important.

It would be great if all the good things belong to your family.

Qin Ming said: "These seals can be broken, but it will take some time. After all, there are a lot of them and their levels are not low."

"I can wait."

It would take time, which was within Zhou Qing's expectations.

"What about the second thing?"

What Zhou Qing said just now was to help him with two favors, but this obviously can only be considered one.

"There is another space ring. I can't solve the mark on it. I need to trouble you as well."

Zhou Qing took out the second space ring he got from Yang Teng.

There is nothing special on this ring that can represent the symbol of Lingyang Lake, and Qin Ming would not know the identity of the Venerable from the Venerable's mark on it.

How many venerables are there in the world? How could Qin Ming lock onto the exact target with just one mark, unless it was someone he was particularly familiar with.

Therefore, there will be no risk of leaking secrets if this space ring is given to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming took the ring and immediately understood the problem, with a strange look on his face.

Young people nowadays are really... bold and reckless.

Zhou Qing knew Qin Ming had misunderstood when he saw his expression, so he corrected him, "It was all funded by kind-hearted people. There are still many kind people in the world."
