"The reward for your contribution in saving Tianyue City has been agreed upon."

"Oh?" Zhou Qing's eyes lit up and he asked quickly:

"What reward did the court give me?"

"You hope to be rewarded with the Heaven and Earth Fire. I have made this request clear to the higher-ups." Qin Ming said with a smile:

"You are lucky. The imperial court is very generous this time, so we decided to reward you with a Heavenly and Earthly Strange Fire."

"real?!"

Zhou Qing was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect the Da Qi government to be so supportive.

This was truly a pleasant surprise; he didn't think he would receive this reward at first.

"Of course it's true, but the level of that Heaven and Earth Fire is not very high. It is relatively common and unpopular. You should be prepared for this."

"But because the flame level is not high, Da Qi also gave other rewards as compensation."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the level is low or the role is narrow."

Zhou Qing didn't care about these two questions. For example, the ghost corpse fire was extremely unpopular, wasn't it?

What he needed was the origin of the strange fire, and let the earth fire devour the origin, so that its own power would increase dramatically.

Although the origin of high-level flames is definitely stronger than that of low-level ones, the benefits that can be obtained are also greater.

But for Zhou Qing at this stage, it is certain that the power of the Earth Fire will be greatly enhanced with every additional type of flame he devours.

As his strength gradually increases, the opponents he encounters will become stronger and stronger.

It is too late to practice the Earth Fire Seal slowly and diligently by yourself. Only by consuming more flames can the power of the Earth Fire Seal be maintained at a great level.

The most important thing is that no matter what level of flame the Da Qi rewards, it is equivalent to getting it for free for Zhou Qing.

What's there to be dissatisfied about?

It's good to have it, why be picky?

And didn’t Qin Ming say that there was other compensation for Zhou Qing?

Zhou Qing couldn't wait to ask, "Is the flame awarded by the court in Zhongtian City?"

"In Yujing, Zhongtian City doesn't have such things in its collection. But you don't have to go get it. Someone will deliver it to you." Qin Ming replied: "According to the time, the flame will reach Zhongtian City in a few days."

Looks like we have to wait a little longer...

Zhou Qing calmed down a little. Waiting a few days was not a problem. Anyway, he still had to wait for Qin Ming to break the seal of the sky fire and erase the mark on the space ring. He would not leave Zhongtian City immediately.

Qin Ming reminded him again: "That is a Yin attribute flame. When you get it, you must pay attention to the balance of Yin and Yang."

He also had some understanding of the practice of the Earth Fire Seal and knew that the power of the Yin and Yang fires had to be roughly balanced.

"Then there are rewards besides the Heaven and Earth Fire. You also need divine materials with fire attributes. This is very easy for Da Qi, so we will directly meet your requirements."

Qin Ming took out four wooden boxes from his space ring and handed them to Zhou Qing.

These four wooden boxes are of different sizes. The small one is almost the size of a human head, and the large one is almost two-thirds the size of an adult.

"Moreover, this kind of divine material is already in the collection of Zhongtian City Prefecture and the two ministries, so I will give it to you directly from here without waiting for it to be sent from Yujing."

"The three boxes on the right all contain fire-attributed divine materials, and the box on the far left contains a thunder-attributed divine material, which is a special reward from the Ghost and God Department for you. The boxes all contain information about the divine materials, so I won't waste any more words here."

Four kinds of magical materials!

Zhou Qing was pleasantly surprised, but also a little confused, "Why would the Ghost and God Department give me a reward?"

"Didn't they say that my contribution to the Tianyue City incident was transformed into a great contribution to Xuandu Temple here in the Ghost and God Department?"

Could it be that the application for the transformation award failed? !

Such a loss can't be compensated by a thunder attribute divine material...

"The application for conversion into Xuandu Great Merit has been approved by the temple. You will get the Great Merit once you arrive at Xuandu Temple."

Qin Ming smiled and said, "This thunder attribute divine material is an extra reward given to you by the Ghost and God Department. It does not affect the great achievement."

Swear allegiance to the Ghost and God Department until death! Zhou Qing happily put away the four wooden boxes. How could he refuse something that he and the Tianmu Sect had fought so hard for?

"I plan to break part of the seal on the flame and open a hole for you to refine it, but I won't break it all."

"This way, you can have some protection when you refine the flames, avoiding the riot of the flames to the greatest extent, and refining it more smoothly."

Zhou Qing nodded, agreeing with this approach.

"If that's the case, that would be the best."

Qin Ming added: "Also, I will go to Hanzhou with you and return to Xuandu Temple."

"Hmm?" Zhou Qing said puzzledly:

"I can go by myself, no need to trouble you."

"I didn't come here just to protect you." Qin Ming said with a smile: "As the chief of the Ghost and God Department of Tianzhou, how could I abandon the affairs of the Ghost and God Department?"

“…”

That’s true.

"I will soon resign as the chief of the Ghost and God Department of Tianzhou and return to Xuandu Temple to practice in seclusion in order to advance to the Yellow Spring Realm."

"Someone will come to take over the position of the governor in a few days. The person I just mentioned who will bring your Heavenly and Earthly Strange Fire from Yujing is the one who will take over from me. I specially asked him to take a detour to Yujing to bring the Strange Fire here."

When Zhou Qing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately congratulated Qin Ming.

I didn’t expect that Qin Ming was going back to Xuandu Temple to prepare for a breakthrough.

Things like ascending to the underworld are indeed most safely done in Xuandu Temple.

Like Lu Qingmo's master, it took her more than ten years to achieve a breakthrough, if she was not inside the mountain gate, but in seclusion outside alone.

Over a decade, the possibility of being disturbed is too great.

"Now, Xuandu Temple will give birth to another master of Huangquan Realm." Zhou Qing said with emotion:

"Our sect is thriving."

Although Zhou Qing has not yet entered the sect, he already considers himself a disciple of Xuandu Temple.

Of course you have to have this attitude in front of Qin Ming!

"It's hard to say whether I can succeed in breaking through." Qin Ming shook his head.

"My two fellow practitioners, Yin Shen and Zhen Xue, have both reached their limits. If we don't break through, there will be no further progress and it will be a waste of time."

“I hope it will be successful in one fell swoop.”

Qin Ming's words were very modest, but Zhou Qing could clearly see a strong sense of confidence in his expression.

Yes, his Yin Spirit and True Blood have been cultivated to the limit, and his foundation is extremely profound. The possibility of a breakthrough for someone like him is inherently higher than that of an ordinary person who cultivates alone.

If you still don't have confidence when both paths have reached their limits, then you might as well just kill yourself and be reborn.

On the path of spiritual practice, one must not give up on oneself. One must be courageous and diligent and have the heart to break through all obstacles.

"You will definitely be fine. If someone like you cannot successfully break through, then no one in the entire world will be able to successfully advance to the Yellow Springs Realm."

Zhou Qing praised Qin Ming highly, and at the same time some thoughts came to his mind.

Between the two directions of Yin Shen and True Blood, Qin Ming chose a breakthrough in the direction of Yin Shen.

In this way, he can actually help, as the Yellow Springs Dragon has this ability.

With Qin Ming's background, if he can get the help of the Yellow Springs Dragon, the possibility of a successful breakthrough will be very high.

However, the significance of the Yellow Springs Dragon is too great, and Zhou Qing doesn't want to let others know about it.

Qin Ming took good care of him, but this kind of care could be explained by the fact that the sect elders were optimistic about the younger disciples and therefore gave them support.

He and Qin Ming don't have any special relationship. The reason for their current harmony is ultimately because of Lu Qingmo.

No one can say for sure whether a senior in the sect who is very caring towards the younger generations can still maintain his original intention in the face of huge interests.

Therefore, it is definitely impossible for Zhou Qing to use the Yellow Spring Dragon to help Qin Ming now.

He decided to wait until he got to Xuandu Temple and then ask Lu Qingmo what the relationship between Qin Ming and her lineage was like, whether they were allies of interest, close elders, or simply absolute family members, and then make the next decision.

Anyway, it was impossible for Qin Ming to go into seclusion immediately after arriving at Xuandu Temple.

No matter what to do, it must be based on Zhou Qing's own safety and interests. He remembers Qin Ming's care for him, but Qin Ming is not Lu Qingmo after all.

In fact, for Zhou Qing personally, the Yellow Springs Dragon will be eliminated sooner or later.

But if this thing is used well, it will bring considerable benefits and can be said to never be out of date.

For example, when others are promoted to Huangquan, he can use this to assist others and let them owe Zhou Qing a favor.

In this way, a very impressive group can be gathered.

But again, Zhou Qing’s own safety cannot be a problem, and he needs to have an extremely strong background to support him.

After deciding that they would go to Hanzhou together after everything was settled, Zhou Qing left the Ghost and God Department.

"Although I had not thought of this development before, it is actually a good thing for me to go to Hanzhou with Qin Duguan. At least my safety is guaranteed."

Zhou Qing thought silently in his heart.

"Well, we can travel much faster and reach Xuandu Temple faster, spending less time on the road."

Qin Ming's current state of mind allows him to travel the world with a safety factor that can be said to be completely maxed out. A double-level venerable from Xuandu Temple who has reached his limit can easily encounter fatal dangers if he is just on the road...

Then this world should be destroyed soon.

Zhou Qing and Qin Ming are together, which is naturally countless times safer than him traveling alone across several states.

And Qin Ming's speed of traveling is definitely not comparable to Zhou Qing's.

After much thought, going to Xuandu Temple with Qin Ming would definitely be beneficial with no harm and it would be an unexpected surprise.

A bodyguard showed up very suddenly.

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

Now we just have to wait to break the seal of the Heavenly Fire, receive the Heavenly and Earthly Fire as a reward from the imperial court, and then refine these two kinds of flames, and then we can set off.

After returning to his residence, Zhou Qing first looked at the four kinds of divine materials he had obtained, and read the information recorded in them one by one. There were three fires and one thunder, and the quality of all of them was excellent.

Da Qi did not fool him about this reward.

It was both flames and divine materials. Although it was still not as valuable as the great merit of Xuandu Temple, he admitted that the imperial court was also very generous.

He is an outsider, so it is not considered stingy to give him these things.

The Ghost and God Bureau specially rewarded Zhou Qing with an extra divine material of thunder attribute, probably because they guessed that when Zhou Qing was refining his own natal magic weapon in the future, he might want to use the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal as the basis for refining the magic weapon.

After all, his action of asking for the fire-attributed divine material first has already reminded others.

This idea cannot be said to be wrong. The divine materials with the attributes of thunder and fire that he collected are indeed related to his natal magic weapon.

It’s just that it’s not to be refined in the future, but it needs to be used now.

A precious tree appeared in front of Zhou Qing, with a complete branch, a small bump on the branch, and a new branch that was far from complete.

The three are the Heaven and Earth Haoran Sword, the mysterious branch prototype cultivated by Shouyuan, and the incomplete branch cultivated by Tianlei Wood.

There was nothing that could be done about the longevity branch. Zhou Qing didn't know what kind of material was needed to make it continue to grow. After a lump appeared, it stopped growing. Later, after absorbing the divine material, it began to grow a third branch, directly skipping the second branch.

Zhou Qing guessed that the Longevity Branch might need materials with time attributes to continue growing, but guesses were just guesses and he couldn't verify it because he couldn't get the time divine material at all.

I've never even heard of it, let alone get it, so I can only put it aside for the time being.

The third branch did not fully grow after absorbing the Heavenly Thunder Wood, and it did not obtain any divine materials that met the requirements of the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Seal, so it has remained in a small state.

But now it's different.

He had three fire-type divine materials and one thunder-type divine material in his hands. With this number, he didn't believe that it would not be enough to feed the third branch!

Zhou Qing first picked up a piece of fiery red, jade-like divine material and placed it against a precious tree.

The two were suddenly connected together, and a fiery red light flashed, enveloping the magic weapon and divine material.

"I wonder how long it will take to finish devouring this divine material..."

Zhou Qing thought about it, then picked up the divine material with thunder attribute and placed it on the treasure tree.

But Miao Shu did not devour it this time, but concentrated on dealing with the divine material in front of him.

"Don't you have the energy to devour the second divine material for the time being?"

After understanding this, Zhou Qing put away the remaining three magical materials.

Since he would have to stay in Zhongtian City for a few more days, he had plenty of time to wait for the Yibao Miao Tree to slowly arrive.

As for whether the third branch of the One Treasure Wonderful Tree would be completely complete after swallowing the two divine materials, that is impossible.

If you compare it with the first branch, you will know that the third branch requires even greater strength.

When the first branch grew, it was almost complete after devouring a piece of divine material.

But now, only a small part of this third branch has appeared after swallowing the Heavenly Thunder Wood, and it is still far from being completed.

It is obvious that the further back you go on the Ippon Myoshu, the more edible it is.

Zhou Qing felt a bit overwhelmed when he thought about the characteristics of his natal magic weapon. It was okay at the Yin God level, and divine materials were not difficult to find for people with powerful backgrounds.

Zhou Qing is also about to become a member with a strong background.

But the problem is that after the Yin Gods, the Underworld, the Blue Sky, and even the materials for the Immortal Path are becoming increasingly rare and precious.

If Miao Shu's appetite grew bigger and bigger, he was afraid that he would not be able to satisfy it in the future.

After worrying for a while, Zhou Qing put his worries aside.

There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. Now he can still afford it, so there is no need to think too much.

At noon, Qin Ming contacted Zhou Qing and asked him to go to the Ghost and God Department.

After arriving, Qin Ming handed Yang Teng's space ring to him.

"There is only a trace of the mark left. With your strength, it will be easy to completely eliminate it."

Zhou Qing was slightly stunned when he heard this, but soon understood Qin Ming's intention of not completely erasing the mark.

If this last trace of mark is not erased, then other people will naturally not be able to use this space ring.

Qin Ming's words undoubtedly told him that he had never privately looked at the contents of the ring, and it was even more impossible for him to take anything away.

It's so thoughtful and heartwarming.

Zhou Qing sincerely thanked Qin Ming.

Qin Ming waved his hand, indicating that you're welcome.

Zhou Qing did not leave, but completely erased the last trace in Xuandu Temple.

In fact, after he took the ring from Kun's clone, it was possible that it was sensed by the Venerable of Lingyang Lake again.

But it doesn’t matter. So many days have passed. Lingyang Lake and Zhongtian City are separated by an unknown distance. I can sense it if I can.

Could he still jump out and attack Zhou Qing? Moreover, at such a long distance, even if he had any sense, it would be vague, with only a rough direction. How could the Venerable of Lingyang Lake determine where the ring was? If there was only one direction, the range would be too wide.

When Zhou Qing's mental force probed into the space ring, he was immediately attracted by a big guy.

It was the real blood puppet he saw at the Jiuyang auction.

Viewed from a close distance, the puppet looked perfect in appearance, purely human-like, lifelike, and without any defects.

The people from the Nine Yang Alliance also said that there was a problem with the core of the puppet, but Zhou Qing also mastered the art of puppetry.

There was a jade slip placed next to the puppet. After taking it out, the information inside was read. This was the method that the people of the Nine Yang Alliance had figured out to repair the puppet and make it function normally.

The repair process is very complicated and involves a lot of materials, but there are not many high-end materials and there are alternatives.

The only irreplaceable and necessary thing is the so-called golden touch.

At the same time, there is also good news, that is, to repair this puppet, one does not need to be proficient in the art of puppetry to accomplish it.

"Other materials are easy to find, but even the Nine Suns Alliance can't find this little bit of Golden Liquid, which shows how rare it is."

Zhou Qing shook his head. "Even if I want to repair it, I can't do anything now. I can only wait until I get to Xuandu Temple to see if there is any treasure like golden liquid."

If possible, Zhou Qing would be willing to repair this puppet.

Some materials can be exchanged for a true blood fighter, which is a very profitable thing.

However, repairing the puppet is a problem, and how to activate the puppet after repair is also a problem.

If a puppet of this level wants to exert its full strength and push it to the extreme, the energy required is terrifying.

The basic activities of puppets can be maintained by the vital energy between heaven and earth, but once a war breaks out, that will no longer work and special energy is needed to support the activities.

Fortunately, this kind of puppet energy is not difficult to find, and you can buy it as long as you have money.

If all else fails, you can bind the puppet to a certain area and use the terrain of mountains and rivers to provide energy.

Zhou Qing's future Zhenchuan Peak can do the same.

After putting the jade slip back into the space ring, Zhou Qing looked at another treasure, the original dragon blood.

This thing is a treasure with many uses, but for Zhou Qing, thinking about the fate of the dragon ball, he no longer has any hope.

It’s not a big problem, it’s just picked up dragon blood.

In addition to these two items, there are other treasures in the space ring. Lingyang Lake sold these two items at the Jiuyang Auction.

For example, there is also a magical material with fire attribute.

Today is really a wholesale of great materials.
