"What's his name?"

"Zhou Qing."

In a high-rise building in Qingzhou city, several people, both men and women, dressed differently but all with distinguished temperament and dignified dignity, were discussing the battle outside the city.

Although the Qingzhou Dragon and Tiger List is led by the Cui family, other first-class forces in Qingzhou will also participate in this process.

All the first-rate forces in a state plus the top sects are the authoritative voices that everyone can believe in.

After hearing the name, an old man in the crowd's eyes moved slightly and said, "His name is Zhou Qing? And he's with Qin Ming? Then I probably know who he is."

Someone immediately asked, "Mr. Cui, where is he from? Is he from Hanzhou?"

"No, he should be from Tianzhou. You may have heard of his hometown. It is Heiyun Town."

Elder Cui replied, "Several of my family's younger generations once went to Black Cloud Town because of the Black Mountain God. They mentioned this name after they came back."

"This Zhou Qing is from Heiyun Town. He enrolled in a local martial arts school to learn martial arts, and also practiced Taoism with Lu Qingmo, a disciple of Xuandu Temple."

"He is a peerless genius born in Black Cloud Town. He is now with Qin Ming and should have joined Xuandu Temple."

The others nodded thoughtfully.

"Black Cloud Town... So that's where it is. Is he related to the Yun family? Or did Lu Qingmo give him the Xuandu inheritance a long time ago?"

"Then the Taoist magic he used to defeat Ji Xingqiu should be the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal, a peerless Taoist magic. How many people in Xuandu Temple wanted it but couldn't get it. Who would have thought that he would get it."

"That is indeed the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal, but you are wrong about one thing."

Elder Cui said: "At that time, Lu Qingmo did not teach him Xuandu Dao Fa, because he did not join Xuandu Temple at that time. Lu Qingmo would not do such a thing that violates the sect rules, and Zhou Qing did not join the Yun family either."

"From the movement and aura of his attack, it can be seen that his foundation has nothing to do with the Xuandu root method, and it is not the same as the Black Mountain God."

Elder Cui shook his head. “He is… a peerless genius who has cultivated himself to be a genius.”

The inheritance of Xuandu Temple is well-known throughout the world. When the cultivators and warriors who practice the root methods and secret martial arts of Xuandu Temple fight with others, there will naturally be traces of Xuandu Temple revealed, which can be regarded as a unique symbol of identity.

It is difficult to hide whether you have practiced the Xuandu inheritance.

The aura revealed when Zhou Qing used the instrument would definitely not make knowledgeable people like them think that he had practiced the Xuandu Temple tradition.

In addition to a peerless Taoist technique, is it possible for Lu Qingmo to teach Zhou Qing a fundamental technique other than that of Xuandu Temple?

Absolutely not.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that one can become successful through self-cultivation.

After hearing what Mr. Cui said, the others were silent for a moment, as if they were digesting this shocking fact.

It sounds a bit too legendary that a peerless genius who came from a small mountain town has now defeated the leader of the contemporary day-trip disciples of Canglan Sect.

It is not uncommon for a top Taoist school to give birth to a peerless genius, but it is very rare for one to appear in the mountains and wilderness.

It is precisely because it is rare that people feel surprised when they first hear about it.

"Mr. Cui, please tell me about Zhou Qing's situation in detail."

After the talk, everyone had a certain understanding.

Someone praised him, "He is a very good young man. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, he will be able to rise to the top sooner or later."

"What about today?"

"After Ji Xingqiu recovers from his injury, he will definitely be promoted directly to the Perfection of the Sun Tour, and then strive for the Manifestation of Sainthood. He will never appear again."

Elder Cui said: "Zhou Qing defeated him and will be ranked first on the Dao Ranking. If no one can surpass Zhou Qing's performance when the next Dao Ranking is released, then the ranking will be released according to this."

The easiest way to change the rankings on the Dragon and Tiger List is naturally to do what Zhou Qing did, directly defeat a master on the list and then replace his position.

But if a cultivator has never fought with the masters on the list, but has demonstrated amazing strength because of some things.

For example, if you can kill eight or ten saints in the later stage of the day game, you can naturally be on the list.

The list setter will consider the performance of both parties and the value of the record to determine the ranking order.

Elder Cui thought for a moment and said, "As for the reason for being on the list, his background should be pointed out to inspire the world."

After hearing this, some people looked strange.

Can a grassroots genius inspire others?

Of course they will.

But they know that such incentives are actually useless.

The existence of such a role model will not lead to the transformation of ordinary people.

The fact that Zhou Qing was able to reach this point was indeed due to his own practice and he did not receive much help from any powerful Taoist sect.

But they don't believe that they didn't get any amazing opportunities.

Is this amazing opportunity something that ordinary people can get? However, no one disagreed with Mr. Cui.

The establishment of the Qingzhou Dragon and Tiger List was led and hosted by the Qinghe Cui family. During daily discussions, the Cui family naturally had the most say.

Someone asked a question, "What title should be given to Zhou Qing?"

"I think this young man is quite arrogant. He said he passed by Qingzhou and got first place. He also said something about warming up and gave a good review of Ji Xingqiu."

Someone laughed and said, "Plus, his fire magic is so outstanding and amazing, and we have to emphasize his origin, so why not call him Black Cloud Wild Fire?"

"Can."

A title these people don't care about.

It's not like I'm giving myself a title.

…

"I wonder what the Qingzhou Dragon and Tiger List will call me."

On the flying magic weapon, Zhou Qing's face was full of anticipation. Before he fought with Ji Xingqiu, his expectations for defeating Canglan Qianren were not as high as they are now.

With his performance, the title should at least be more impressive and cool!

The God of Fire? The Yin Yang Dragon? The Lord of Fire?

Zhurong's reincarnation? Light of Xuandu? Rebuilding the world? At the very least, there should be an Ice and Fire Dragon King, right?

His requirements are actually not high.

Qin Ming smiled and said:

"If you are interested in this, then when you arrive at Xuandu Temple, you can inquire about the news in Qingzhou, and you will know then."

The Department of Ghosts and Gods is spread all over Da Qi, so it is relatively convenient to collect information, not to mention such popular and public information as a state's Dragon and Tiger List.

"I'm not really interested, just let it go."

Zhou Qing lied with open eyes and spoke without thinking.

Qin Ming smiled, but did not expose her, and said:

"From the information recorded on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, Ji Xingqiu is an extremely outstanding genius. If you can defeat him, it will probably surprise many people."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "In fact, before the final result came out, I knew he was going to lose."

Qin Ming nodded, "When practicing fighting, one should have this kind of confidence."

No, it’s not that I’m confident.

Zhou Qing made such a judgment simply because Ji Xingqiu stood on the left before the final collision.

You want to win by standing on the left?

Don't be naive!

"The temple encourages disciples to compete for the Dragon and Tiger List." Qin Ming said: "Being on the Dragon and Tiger List is equivalent to strengthening the reputation of Xuandu Temple. The temple is happy to see it happen."

"So Xuandu Temple will give certain rewards to every disciple who makes it onto the Dragon and Tiger Ranking."

All forces in the world need to develop and be passed on.

The help that fame provides to development and inheritance is obvious.

Zhou Qing heard this and asked curiously:

"What's the reward? A small reward?"

Qin Ming was speechless. "It's not that easy to get a small merit. It's a reward of a certain number of contribution points."

"Don't underestimate contribution points. Contribution points are required to do most things in Xuandu Temple. They are indispensable for every Xuandu disciple."

"You defeated Ji Xingqiu as a disciple of Xuandu this time, so you will be awarded contribution points when you arrive at Xuandu Temple."

Although Zhou Qing has not yet officially entered the sect, his identity is not a problem because of Qin Ming's existence, and no one will say that he is pretending to be a disciple of Xuandu Temple.

If he had gone to Hanzhou alone and encountered what happened today, Zhou Qing would not be able to directly call himself a disciple of Xuandu.

I have never formally entered the sect, nor have I practiced the Xuandu heritage. No one will believe me if I tell others about it.

Even after this matter is reported to Xuandu Temple, it is possible that someone with ulterior motives will bring it up and talk about it.

But now with Qin Ming as a witness, things are naturally different.

"How many Xuandu disciples cannot accumulate one great merit in their entire lives, and you are still crying poor here." Qin Ming said with a smile: "If you are willing, you can convert that Xuandu great merit into contribution points. That is an astronomical figure, which will be enough for you for a long time."

"Then I won't change."

Zhou Qing said there was nothing wrong with his brain.

Small merits and large merits can be exchanged for each other, but contribution points and small merits cannot be exchanged from the top to the bottom, or from the bottom to the top.

Only a fool would change it.

"You don't have to worry about contribution points. Whether you are an outer disciple, an inner disciple, or a true disciple, you will be given contribution points every month. Although it's not much, you still have other ways."

Qin Ming comforted him, "With the support of your family and teachers, you won't lack these."

Then Qin Ming said, "We were supposed to rest in Qingzhou City, but something like this happened, so we have to move to another place."

"Otherwise, it will be too conspicuous and will increase unnecessary risks."

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

Zhou Qing nodded, understanding what Qin Ming meant.

Those so-called unnecessary risks...

For example, Tianmu Sect.

Su Tiannu must have hated him to the core because of what he did.

If they got the news that he appeared outside Tianzhou, they would inevitably want to kill him.

So in this case, it is best to keep your whereabouts secret.

There are so many roads from Qingzhou to Hanzhou. As long as they leave the public sight, no one can stop them.

They were flying in the sky, and could fly in any direction they wanted. It was not like the ordinary ancient world where people had to take a certain route to go out.

As a practitioner, I can fly to the sky when I want, climb mountains when I want, and dive into the sea when I want. Unless I encounter a dangerous place like the boundless sky ruins, the primitive ancient land, or the mountain gate of some Taoist sects, I will not be trapped by the terrain.

After arriving at a city, Zhou Qing and his companion went in to rest and complete today's training.

Zhou Qing was practicing, while Qin Ming stayed in another yard and did not spy on his practice process.

But Qin Ming was also thinking about Zhou Qing, and was surprised by his strength and performance.

He knew about the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Seal, and he was also very clear that Zhou Qing had not practiced the Xuandu Temple inheritance.

So Qin Ming was extremely curious about how Zhou Qing cultivated such a powerful strength. He knew about Zhou Qing's deeds and knew that he stayed in Black Cloud Town for a period of time after he embarked on the path of cultivation.

If that's the case, then how did he get the mysterious root method inheritance and create the unparalleled soul foundation? In a small place like Black Cloud Town, without going through Lu Qingmo and the Yun family, how could he get the root method level inheritance? It was simply unbelievable, and Qin Ming couldn't quite understand it.

That’s right. Although he didn’t know what kind of soul technique Zhou Qing was practicing, he concluded that it must be a root-level technique, corresponding to the secret martial arts in martial arts, and was the most top-notch inheritance in the world.

Otherwise, even with the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal, it would not be enough to fight against Ji Xingqiu, let alone defeat him.

Your foundation is far inferior to that of the other party, and your basic qualities cannot possibly match those of the other party. Even if you have peerless Taoist skills, they will be useless and will not be able to exert any power.

Even if the foundation is too poor, it is impossible to cultivate the peerless Taoist magic.

For a young man from a small town to obtain a fundamental method, this is truly a great opportunity and an amazing fortune.

This is even more incredible than Lu Qingmo obtaining the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Seal.

It's like a legendary story.

"After the battle between Zhou Qing and Ji Xingqiu, I'm afraid many people will speculate about him."

Qin Ming thought secretly, "It's obvious that he has an opportunity, and it's impossible to hide it from others."

Unless Zhou Qing finds a place to stay as a hermit for the rest of his life and doesn't come into contact with anyone, some situations will definitely be discovered, and it doesn't matter whether he fights with Ji Xingqiu or not.

It is not surprising to have opportunities. When a cultivator goes out and accidentally obtains a spiritual plant, it can be considered an opportunity to improve his cultivation.

It’s just that some opportunities are so great that they are bound to attract attention.

Of course, Qin Ming thought about these questions not because he coveted Zhou Qing's opportunity.

He was not from a family in Xuandu Temple, but was a master-disciple lineage. He was about to break through to the Yellow Springs Realm, but he had no disciples.

The other root method is meaningless to him.

What he actually practiced was the Xuan Du root method, which was no worse than any other root method.

"With the protection of Xuandu Temple, Zhou Qing's safety can still be guaranteed outside. Apart from the Tianmu Sect and the Wuchang Palace, no one else would dare to attack him openly just because of some opportunities."

"Although outsiders dare not attack him, there are some disturbances within Xuandu Temple..."

Thinking of this, Qin Ming's thoughts stopped.

When they were on the road again, he took the initiative to talk about this matter with Zhou Qing to remind Zhou Qing.

"Zhou Qing, you have the foundation and strength you have today, so you must have your own opportunities. This is very good. In addition to talent, every genius has endless opportunities."

Qin Ming said solemnly: "But when you get the opportunity, it will also attract the covetousness of some people and bring you danger. You must be prepared for this."

"I've always been mentally prepared." Zhou Qing smiled.

It is normal for him to attract attention as he only started practicing at the age of 22 but performed so miraculously.

Lu Qingmo and the others had all kinds of guesses in their minds, but they just didn't ask Zhou Qing.

The people in this world are relatively normal in their thinking. It is not the case that one person would suddenly behave in an extremely outrageous manner and others would not think that there is something wrong.

It was as if he was under a spell and simply ignored all the circumstances surrounding that person, and even the unreasonable things seemed reasonable to him.

It just depends on whether you say it or not.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Since you have joined Xuandu Temple, Xuandu Temple will protect you and intimidate outsiders so that they dare not attack you."

"But we still need to be careful of the evil sects such as Tianmu Sect. They are bold and fearless."

Anyway, none of you know where our mountain gate is, so it doesn't matter what kind of trouble we make. The worst that can happen is that we can just go back to the mountain gate and lie dormant for a while.

"Also, after you arrive at Xuandu Temple, there may be some people who are jealous of your opportunity, but you don't have to pay attention to them."

"Xuan Du Temple has never had a rule of forcing disciples to hand over their opportunities. Those who are greedy only represent themselves. The temple absolutely does not support their behavior."

"Even if those people are covetous, they will never dare to take it by force. They will only use some small tricks. As long as you ignore them, they will have no way to deal with it."

"Xuanfa Mountain is not a place where those people can harm their fellow disciples without restraint!"

Zhou Qing was not discouraged or frightened by this, he just smiled and nodded.

"I have always been mentally prepared for these, and I will protect my things well."

Not to mention the distant past, Lu Qingmo is a lesson for us. Zhou Qing naturally would not have the naive idea that everyone in Xuandu Temple loves each other.

People are complicated. There are so many people in Xuandu Temple, how can they all be good people? Zhou Qing will not make Xuandu Temple perfect just because of the kindness of Lu Qingmo and others.

The larger the organization and the more interests it involves, the more complex it is.

All we can say is that most are good, a few are so-so, and a very small number are not good.

Zhou Qing never doubted the diversity of human beings.

"You don't have to worry too much. You are from Shuiyue Peak and you have some background in the temple."

Zhou Qing nodded, and was quite grateful to Qin Ming. The fact that he could say these words to Zhou Qing and directly expose some of the ugly things inside Xuandu Temple showed that Qin Ming really cared about him.

But he really doesn't mind and doesn't care about these things.

This was something he had anticipated since the day he decided to join Xuandu Temple.

Because these problems are actually not a problem compared to not joining Xuandu Temple and traveling around the world alone.

Regardless of whether he joined Xuandu Temple or not, Zhou Qing's abnormality would be noticed by others.

With the identity of a true disciple of Xuan Du, one would be protected and could prevent most of the evil intentions.

The covetousness within Xuandu is just a small matter, because they can only act within the rules and cannot go too far.

But if he had not chosen to join Xuandu Temple in the first place, those from other forces who coveted Zhou Qing's opportunity would not have had any scruples, and the people from Xuandu Temple would not have been restricted by the rules and could have acted without restraint.

At that time, anyone could come and step on her, and anyone could come and snatch Zhou Qing.

I can't deal with Xuan Du Zhenchuan openly, but I have no problem killing you, a casual cultivator.

Steamed bun, you don't support the device? "Go to Xuandu Temple as soon as possible, and Aunt Mo's master, the master of Shuiyue Peak, I hope she can break through with the Tongtian Flower, which is the best result for me."

Zhou Qing thought silently in his heart:

"This month is almost over. After the cheat codes for next month are refreshed, I will probably still be on the road most of the time. In this case, I will have to be more flexible in choosing cheat codes..."

Because we have to hurry on the road, some cheat codes are of little use, or have great limitations.

Therefore, you have to be cautious when you draw the lottery again.

…

Time flies, and a month goes by in the blink of an eye.
