The thick chain started from the floating platform and extended up and down in four directions, holding onto the top of the mountain and anchoring it on the ground.

These chains bear traces of wind and rain, and are also engraved with lines.

The floating platform is very large and covered with moss. If there were some grass growing on it, people standing on it would probably feel like they were on a prairie.

The area around here is quite empty, with only this building standing out.

After being carried here by the crane, Zhou Qing was a little surprised.

"Where is this place?"

"The Heaven's Breaking Platform."

Lu Yuanyuan said: "You can think of it as a special arena. Some grand martial arts and magic battles are held here. It has been built since the establishment of Xuandu Temple."

"And if the grudge between two disciples has reached a point where it cannot be resolved, they can still settle it here."

"Is this what I understand as settling grudges?"

The grudges between the two people are irreconcilable, but can they still be resolved...

Then it's probably just a matter of life or death.

Lu Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, it's just as you thought. Life and death will be decided here."

She looked at Zhou Qing and continued:

"This includes true disciples. If the situation really comes to a life-and-death struggle, they can also apply to go up to the Heavenly Severance Platform and apply for Heavenly Severance."

"Blood splatters the sky and the stage is broken, and grudges are gone with the wind."

"The Tianduan Terrace is not connected to the ground, nor to the sky. It is a place without heaven or earth. The living are reborn and come back to the world, while the dead go straight into the underworld without leaving any cause and effect."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly, "I didn't expect there was such a place in Xuandu Temple."

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are grudges, and there will always be situations where water and fire cannot get along. It's human nature."

There are people not because of the existence of the world, but there is the world because of the existence of people.

"Of course, if the true disciples really want to go to the Heavenly Stage, it depends on whether the temple agrees."

Lu Yuanyuan smiled and said, "After all, every true disciple is highly valued by the sect, and it is impossible for them to allow fighting."

Zhou Qing nodded. He understood that persuasion was the main thing. If persuasion really didn't work, then we can talk about it later.

"Junior brother, I hope that you will never apply for Tianduan and go to Tianduantai one day."

Zhou Qing spread his hands and said, "This is not up to me."

He has always been kind to others.

"Junior Brother Zhou, that is the Tianlu Hall, which is responsible for handling matters such as the punishment of disciples for violations. It is not a good place for any disciple of Xuandu Temple. No one wants to be called there suddenly one day."

"That's the Chuan Dao Peak, which is only one character different from the Cheng Dao Peak. Every half a month, masters from the sect will explain their cultivation experiences there and guide the disciples on their cultivation doubts. No matter if it's an outer sect or a true sect, anyone who wants to can go and listen. It's an activity that many disciples yearn for."

"There is also the Xuanfa Market, which is a trading market spontaneously organized and gathered by the Xuandu disciples. They exchange what they have with each other, but most of them are inner and outer disciples. There is also a higher-standard trading place in Xuandu Temple."

“…”

Yesterday and today, under the guidance of Lv Yuanyuan, an old monk from Xuandu Temple, Zhou Qing finally had a concrete understanding of this group of Xuanfa Mountains.

It is basically clear where to go if something happens, where to go if something is needed, and what you need to pay attention to.

Unlike when he first came, although he heard some things from Qin Ming, he could not connect them with the reality and was completely in the dark.

Hey, I seem to have forgotten someone?

At Lu Yuanyuan's invitation, Zhou Qing also visited her Jingyan Peak.

"Compared with Shuiyue Peak, my mountain is like an adult and a child. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Junior Brother."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "If Senior Sister Lu's huge family business is still a joke, then I have nothing. Wouldn't I be so ashamed that I would commit suicide?"

Jingyan Peak cannot compare to Shuiyue Peak in terms of spiritual power or grandeur, but this is normal.

Lu Yuanyuan is only a true disciple. It would be incredible if her territory could be compared with the mountains where the master of Shuiyue Peak and Xuandu Danjun, two masters of the Yellow Springs Realm, are in charge.

But even so, Jingyan Peak is an extremely rare treasure land in the outside world.

In fact, some things also require an appropriate balance, and too much is as bad as too little.

The environment suitable for practicing in the Yellow Springs Realm may be unbearable for the people below. It is okay to stay there for a short period of time, but if it lasts for a long time, it may be harmful and they may even die of suffocation.

As each True Disciple's realm improves, the environment of his True Disciple Peak will naturally improve gradually.

No matter what, Xuandu Temple would never treat its own disciples badly in such a place.

"There are some things on Jingyan Peak that are very useful for alchemy. It is very suitable for alchemists to practice here." Lu Yuanyuan said:

"I was able to obtain this mountain thanks to my master's favor."

"Junior Brother Zhou, for a true disciple, the True Transmission Peak is very important. There are countless sacred peaks in Xuandu Temple, and they have various special features. Some peaks have special resources, and some have extremely special terrains. You must choose carefully when the time comes."

After a while, Lu Yuanyuan asked her crane to send Zhou Qing back to Shuiyue Peak.

Every true disciple can apply for some "planes" for his own true peak to serve him only. The same is true for Jingyan Peak.

After returning to Shuiyue Peak, Luo Liuli's alchemy room was still closed, and no one knew what he was researching inside.

The lifespan of cultivators in the Huangquan Realm is long enough for them to spend some time studying many things.

However, this has little to do with Zhou Qing for the time being. What he has to do now is to seize the last day of [Double Experience] and then try to refine the 103rd bone and make a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

Time passed slowly, and the vast true energy seeped into a bone in Zhou Qing's arm bit by bit, tempering it and strengthening it.

At the same time, every move of the secret martial arts is also constantly playing a role in strengthening bones and body.

The sun sets in the west, the moon rises in the sky, and the night covers the earth, but the Shuiyue Peak is covered with moon grass. It is not dark, but has a hazy brightness.

At a corner of Shuiyue Peak, a celestial roc seemed to appear, constantly stretching its muscles and bones, with its vital energy and blood thriving, its true essence flowing like a river, making a rushing sound.

Looking closely, that was not a Tianpeng at all, but clearly a person, but his movements were full of the charm of a Tianpeng, as if he had really transformed into a human body.

Among Zhou Qing's bones, one hundred and two are emitting flawless luster like jade. This is a symbol of perfection, and is the jade bone of martial arts.

If every piece of jade bone were removed, polished and placed in the mortal world, it would be enough to become a "beautiful jade" sought after by many wealthy businessmen.

However, for mortals, it is very difficult to hone the martial arts jade bones of a bone-refining warrior.

This bone cannot be broken by a knife or chopped by an axe. It will not rot in water and will not turn to ashes in fire. It is extremely magical.

If a martial artist who had mastered the art of bone refining died and his body was placed in Zhou Qing's previous life and was discovered by someone, it would certainly be a major discovery that would shock the world.

That corpse would be speculated to be a relic left by an ancient immortal.

Of course, the hardness and immortality of jade bones are definitely relative.

Inside Zhou Qing's body, the 103rd bone gradually lit up, emitting light similar to that of the other 102 bones, and the gap was getting smaller and smaller.

At a certain moment, that bone finally reached a flawless state, and it echoed with the other 102 bones, flickering continuously, as if some kind of resonance had occurred, and a complete cycle was in progress.

Zhou Qing did not feel the so-called bottleneck or barrier in his realm.

"boom!"

The qi and blood erupted like a volcano, the true essence rioted, and then the muscles and bones made a sound. This sudden and strong sound was enough to kill the birds in the trees, scare away the tigers in the forest, and destroy the insects underground. It was truly like a thunderclap out of the blue.

Then Zhou Qing felt that every part of his body, especially his bones, seemed to be madly crying for hunger. It became extremely empty and needed something to fill it.

The nutritional reserves formed by the food eaten every day were directly consumed at this time, and then the vitality and spiritual inspiration between heaven and earth were frantically absorbed and devoured by Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's mind moved, and some spiritual plants and elixirs in the space ring flew out. He directly absorbed the medicinal power and integrated it into his body to satisfy his current hunger.

Every breakthrough in martial arts is a leap for the body and an evolution of the essence of life.

This kind of leap, this kind of evolution does not come out of thin air, it requires energy support. If you do not seek this energy from the outside, then the breakthrough will squeeze your body, and after a breakthrough, it is possible that you will become skin and bones.

Wild beast meat, spiritual plants, elixirs, etc. can all be used as energy, among which the essence of heaven and earth is the most common and easiest to obtain.

Zhou Qing has accumulated a lot of knowledge, and the various energies of heaven and earth at Shuiyue Peak are also abundant, enough to meet all his needs for transformation. Therefore, Zhou Qing is not worried about squeezing out the essence of his body when breaking through.

The energy of heaven and earth is a general term, and Yuan Qi is only a part of it, not all of it.

Like the qi of plants and trees, or turbid air, clear air, etc., they all fill the space between heaven and earth, but they are generally not used by people, but their objective existence cannot be denied.

Everything went smoothly. The 103rd bone was successfully refined. They formed a small perfect cycle, bursting out with unprecedented potential and power.

With the help of a constant supply of external forces, the strength of all aspects of Zhou Qing's body increased dramatically in a short period of time, and such changes are still continuing.

The true essence became increasingly thicker and deeper, the vigorous Qi and blood illuminated the sky above his head red, and his body was stronger than gold and iron.

Occasionally, there were even faint sounds of dragon roars and phoenix calls, which were so majestic that a large area of ​​Shuiyue Peak fell into silence. The small animals there trembled in fear, not daring to move, and unable to move.

In the alchemy hall inside the mountain, Luo Liuli was sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace. He did not light the fire to make the elixir, but his eyes were empty as if he was thinking about something.

This is a very common state for Luo Liuli. The problems she ponders at this point are all rather mysterious, and she can just deduce and imagine them in her mind without putting them down on paper.

Sometimes you look at her as if she is in a daze, but in fact she may have deduced a new pill recipe from scratch.

But with Luo Liuli's current attainments in alchemy, ordinary pills are not worth her time to refine.

What she pursues is the flash of inspiration that comes from nowhere, and the ideas and results that even she finds amazing.

Luo Liuli wouldn't feel anything even if she sat there for several days or even ten days or half a month.

This habit of hers is good, but also bad.

For the art of alchemy, that is naturally in perfect harmony, but it must be said that doing so is a bit of a waste of time.

How can inspiration be so easy to come by?

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

But this has become her habit and no one can change her.

Perhaps it was precisely because she was so sincere that she was able to become the Alchemy Master of Xuandu Temple with her cultivation in the Yellow Springs Realm.

There are alchemists in the Biluo Realm in Xuandu Temple, but there is only one Dan Jun.

But at this time, Luo Liuli's eyes moved, refocused, came back to her senses, and looked in one direction.

"Breakthrough?"

It was as if she saw Zhou Qing through many obstacles.

"Hmm... His physical body is probably comparable to that of a marrow-washing warrior. Did he practice an unknown secret martial art? But it's not some special physique. Practicing secret martial arts alone won't have such an effect..."

"There are traces of dragon and phoenix on the body. Junior sister is right. He is indeed very talented."

Luo Liuli withdrew her gaze and no longer paid attention to Zhou Qing who was breaking through.

She is indeed talented, but this talent has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't expect to gain any benefits from Zhou Qing.

Taking care of Zhou Qing was only because Zhou Qing had provided tremendous help to them at Shuiyue Peak.

Allow Junior Sister to recover, and give Master a chance to break through again and prolong his life.

Just because of this kindness, she will always take care of Zhou Qing.

She doesn't care whether Zhou Qing is talented or not. Even if Zhou Qing is a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved, she will not change her attitude.

In comparison, she cares more about the problem she is thinking about now.

Huangquan Baodan is a good elixir, especially with Tongyouhua, it is even better.

But Luo Liuli felt that since there was such a rare and precious thing as the Tongyou Flower, it should not be wasted. Could there be some way to enhance the effect of the Huangquan Pill?

For example... can it 100% assist the Yinshen Master in ascending to the Yellow Springs Realm?

This is a question worth studying carefully, and she happens to be very interested in it.

Luo Liuli started to be in a daze again.

Zhou Qing knew that his breakthrough at Shuiyue Peak would most likely be discovered by Luo Liuli, but he didn't care.

We are our own people.

This feast for the flesh lasted for a long time, until finally, the body felt saturated and no longer madly absorbed all kinds of energy from heaven and earth.

The erupting volcano stopped erupting, the raging rivers returned to calm, the perfect light gradually faded, and all that was left was a body that was so strong that it seemed to be able to destroy everything.

Zhou Qing felt that he could kill Lu Yuanyuan's...crane with one punch.

It is impossible to kill Lu Yuanyuan with one punch. This Senior Sister Lu is at the level of a saint and has mastered the true teachings of Xuan Du.

Feeling the extremely vigorous vitality and the body's strength that seemed powerful enough to overturn mountains, Zhou Qing nodded with satisfaction.

"Tomorrow is the qualification test. Although I am confident, it is a good thing to be able to make a breakthrough tonight."

"There are only 103 bones left to break through to the great stage of bone refining. There is still a long way to go..."

The further you progress in the Bone Refining Realm, the more difficult and slower it becomes. This is because progress is slow as one reaches a higher level, and it is also related to the content of the subsequent practice.

There are 206 bones in the human body, and bone-refining warriors practice them from easy to difficult, from small to large.

There is such a huge difference in size between a small finger bone and a leg bone. How can the difficulty and time spent in actual tempering be the same?

There are also skulls. When tempering these bones, one must be even more careful.

From the initial stage of bone refining to the minor success in bone refining, the easier part of the practice in this realm has been completed, leaving the hard bones behind.

This is a really tough nut to crack.

However, although it will be more difficult, Zhou Qing has nothing to worry about.

He has always been very fast, and the difficulty of the subsequent training will at most slow him down a little, but it is impossible to hold him back.

Zhou Qing was promoted to bone refining at the beginning of the month of [Mysterious Treasure Box]. It hasn’t been long since then. Even if the time required to go from minor success to major success is doubled, it will still be very fast.

Zhou Qing was in a good mood, suppressing all the thoughts in his mind and looking at the moon grass everywhere. He walked to the edge of a cliff and looked at the Milky Way Waterfall pouring down. He had an urge to roar to the sky.

Then this conflict was suppressed by Zhou Qing.

Waterfalls, cliffs, and long roars.

If you put these three elements together, it wouldn't be a monkey.

After staying alone for a while, Zhou Qing returned to the Dan Temple in the mountain.

He glanced at Luo Liuli's place, and there was still no movement. If someone who didn't know the situation knew the place, they would definitely think it was empty.

She is truly a homebody in Xuandu.

Wait, this Dan Jun told me that if I have any questions or if An Lang has any doubts, I can go to her, but she didn’t even show up and didn’t give me this opportunity at all!

Could it be that I'm just being polite?

At this time, the door of the main alchemy room suddenly opened, and Luo Liuli walked out. She looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Tomorrow is the True Transmission Qualification Test. I will take you there and wait for you to come out."

Zhou Qing was startled, then quickly said:

"I have basically become familiar with Xuandu Temple in the past two days. I can go there by myself."

It's just a qualification test, and there is no requirement to be accompanied by an elder.

"No." Luo Liuli shook her head.

"I'm afraid that Palace Master Wangchen will interfere."

“…”

Very direct, without any disguise.

Zhou Qing discovered that Luo Liuli had a really bad impression of Ermu, the master of Wangchen Palace.

In her mind, Ermu was probably a complete bad guy.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior."

"No trouble." Luo Liuli said again: "Two days, do you have any questions?"

"I don't have any, but An Lang has some questions about alchemy that he would like to ask you."

An Lang in the ghost residence was confused. I have questions about alchemy, so how come I don’t know? Luo Liuli replied: "Let her make a furnace of elixirs, and I will watch from the side, and then I will know her problem."

This is what you call a master!

An Lang was sent into Luo Liuli's alchemy room by Zhou Qing in a daze, and began to demonstrate his skills.

Zhou Qing did not go in. His golden finger was about to refresh, so it was better for him to be alone.

As for An Lang, Zhou Qing simply couldn't stand the behavior of this useless ghost anymore.

There is such a huge alchemy machine in front of you, but for the past two days you have either been eating or sleeping, or following him around everywhere. You don't even think of taking the initiative to learn some knowledge from Luo Liuli.

Since An Lang didn't take the initiative, Zhou Qing had to push her. He still hoped that An Lang would become an alchemy immortal in the future.

But An Lang has something to say. Didn’t you ask me to follow you around to look around so that I wouldn’t get lost when I’m alone in Xuandu Temple in the future?
