Turn pain into pleasure.
Turn torture into enjoyment.
Where can you find such a good thing? If Zhou Qing was not a ghost, he would have wanted to use the Hundred Ghosts Devouring Heart Lotus himself.
The pain is unbearable and there is a risk of death, but if it is pleasurable, then what's the problem?
It's impossible to die comfortably, right? "Find an opportunity to catch a hundred ghosts and seal them into this soul plant..."
Zhou Qing plans to find out more about ghosts in the future.
And the effect of this stone of rebellion is obviously not limited to the Hundred Demons Devouring Heart Lotus. This strange object that can reverse emotions and feelings has many uses if you think about it.
Good things should be kept well.
Of course, the Stone of Rebellion definitely has its limits. After all, it is a treasure dropped by Zhou Qing at his current level, and it is impossible for it to reverse emotions and feelings indefinitely.
However, the Hundred Ghosts Devouring Heart Lotus also fell now, so there is naturally no possibility that it cannot be reversed.
[Rare Item: Spiritual Liquid]
[On the basis that an object itself has already given birth to a certain spirituality, it can further awaken and strengthen the spirituality]
When Zhou Qing saw this rare object, his eyes lit up. He just happened to need it.
The Erbao Miao Tree began to transform when he left Zhongtian City, but until today, the spirit inside it has still not been fully nurtured, and it is just one step away.
On the way to Xuandu Temple, he also asked Qin Ming about the divine weapon and learned that it does take some time to refine a divine weapon and nurture the spirit of the weapon.
However, if it is the natal artifact of the Yin Shen Venerable, then the Venerable can choose to use the Yin Shen's origin to accelerate the process.
Zhou Qing’s natal magic weapon is special and different from the natal magic weapon of a normal Yin God Master. How could he have such a thing as the Yin God Origin?
So we can only wait patiently.
I didn’t expect that Brother Shu would drop such a suitable and wonderful item.
"The spirit in the wonderful tree is already very complete. With this little bit of spiritual fluid, perhaps it can be successfully nurtured in one fell swoop and transformed into a true divine weapon."
The description of this spiritual liquid is also interesting. It can only be effective on objects that already have spirituality.
It can only have the effect of going from one to two, but cannot help break through from zero to one.
After a little thought, Zhou Qing understood where the limitation lay.
If it could give spirituality to a purely dead object, it would be beyond belief.
Dropping it on a stone can make the stone spiritual.
The same is true for drops falling on rivers and mountains.
If you can really do this, then you are the master of life and death.
[Special Item: Fixed Light]
[A one-time rare item. The aura of anyone who is illuminated by the fixed light will be locked by you. No matter where he goes, you will be able to sense him until he dies. At the same time, the light will tell you what the locked person has done. If you use it on people with higher realms, the probability of being discovered will be higher.]
After carefully understanding the use of this thing, Zhou Qing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"This is truly a strange object. The word strange should be emphasized."
Lock the breath, sense the location, and even use the light to peek at what the locked person is doing.
Too strong.
It’s a pity that practitioners at a high level have the probability of discovering the fixed-breath light, which involves risks.
[Rare Item: Earth De Stone]
[Buried in one place, the spiritual power and original power of the land within a fixed range will increase, things existing on the land will be blessed by the earth's virtue, cultivation will be free of distracting thoughts, plants and trees will grow faster, and animals will awaken peacefully.]
Good stuff. When Zhou Qing has his own Zhenchuan Peak, he will bury this thing in the mountains.
[Wonderful Item: Four-season Four-leaf Flower]
[The four leaves of a peanut represent the four seasons. If you stimulate one leaf with your spiritual power, the surrounding celestial phenomena and climate will change in accordance with the seasons of the flowers and leaves.]
This strange object is very interesting. Although it does not seem to have any direct effect, it can affect celestial phenomena to a certain extent.
Zhou Qing felt that this flower was more suitable for planting in a medicinal garden.
Rare items like the Earth Dragon Marrow and Thick Earth Divine Liquid, which are used to refine bones and cleanse marrow, have been lost this time, so Zhou Qing doesn't have to worry about not having enough for his cultivation.
In addition to these, a few strange items also dropped, but their effects are relatively common.
In fact, the various treasures dropped by the fairy trees, these rare and strange objects, usually give Zhou Qing the most surprises.
Other medicinal herbs, spiritual plants and other materials are certainly useful, but overall they are not as special as rare items.
Then there are the magic weapons and Yuanwu weapons that dropped this time, but still no divine weapons or real weapons.
Zhou Qing picked out the ones that could be used, such as a pair of boots-type Yuanwu weapons and a more special illusion-type magic weapon.
Other things that you don’t need are kept and dealt with later.
Zhou Qing estimated that in a few days, he would be able to put together a set of top-grade divine instruments, covering defense, attack, illusion, escape, control, auxiliary training, strange instruments and so on.
Then you can also put together a set of top-grade Yuanwu weapons and arm yourself to the teeth.
After collecting two sets, you can collect a few more sets of spare magic weapons and Yuanwu weapons.
Such arrogance and comprehensiveness is also a significant improvement to his strength.
Not to say that you can defeat stronger enemies, but you will definitely not be killed by stronger enemies.
There are fewer and fewer practitioners below the Yin Shen True Blood level who can threaten Zhou Qing's life.
It’s a pity that such luxurious equipment is rarely used in Xuandu Temple.
However, among the dropped magic weapons, there were a few things that left Zhou Qing speechless.
Three artifact fragments dropped this time.
He had not expected that magic weapon fragments would drop at this level, and what he did not expect was that the dropped fragments were from an old acquaintance.
One piece each of water-avoiding bead, poison-avoiding bead and fire-avoiding bead.
The first two have dropped before, but this fire-proof bead fragment is dropping for the first time.
Looking at these three pieces, Zhou Qing didn't know what to say.
When I was still in the state of visualization, you dropped the fragments of the water-repellent beads on me.
As a result, I am almost reaching the holy state, but I am still losing the fragments of the water-repellent beads!
When this water-repellent bead is complete, what level of treasure is it?
Zhou Qing was really curious about this question. At the later stage of the Sun Tour, the complete Water-Repellent Beads could not be dropped, and even larger fragments could not be dropped. They were exactly the same as the previous fragments.
He seriously doubted that by the time he was promoted to the realm of Manifestation of Sage or even Yin God, the complete water-repellent bead would most likely not fall off.
Ah Zhu, you are not a fairy weapon, are you? No matter what level the magic weapons such as the Water-Repellent Beads are when they are complete, Zhou Qing feels that it is impossible to collect them all by dropping fragments.
We can only wait and see when our realm reaches a higher level in the future, to see if there will be a chance to get a big one directly.
There are also magic talismans. Among the many talismans dropped this time, there is one that is quite special.
[Magic Talisman: Sky-Blocking Talisman]
[After activating it, the figure disappears without a trace, no longer existing under the sun]
The name of this talisman sounds so awesome that Zhou Qing thought it was a divine talisman with the power to destroy the world.
The result is a supporting talisman that conceals itself...
Zhou Qing felt a little disappointed that no special items dropped from the trees he chopped down today.
After packing up everything, Zhou Qing left the Fairy Tree Secret Realm, then immediately summoned the Wonderful Tree and poured some spiritual liquid on it.
The emerald green spiritual liquid looked full of vitality. After it came into contact with the wonderful tree, it directly penetrated the tree trunk and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Relying on the inseparable connection between himself and his natal magic weapon, Zhou Qing could clearly feel a special, indescribable power entering the weapon spirit.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a sound like a beating heart, as if there was another living creature.
However, the movement only lasted for a moment and then stopped.
After all, it is just a newborn spirit of an instrument, not a real living being.
But inside the wonderful tree, the light gradually became brighter, flickering and expanding silently.
Inside the light is an illusory round bead, which looks like an embryo or a human eye.
Zhou Qing watched the changes taking place, and at the same time he continued to nourish the wonderful tree with his spirit, allowing it to feel the breath of its master.
Finally, the light outside the bead reached its peak, and a faint thought spread out from it, touching Zhou Qing's spirit.
"babble……"
Zhou Qing caught a faint, whisper-like sound.
This syllable has no meaning and is not systematic, but it contains an emotion and has its own will, full of closeness and dependence on Zhou Qing.
It represents that the spirit of the wonderful tree has been officially conceived successfully. The magical liquid saves the final time and makes the spirit of the artifact more vigorous than a normal newborn artifact.
When a normal artifact is first created, the artifact spirit can only vaguely express its thoughts, but will not make any sounds like mumbling.
Zhou Qing contacted the spirit with his spirit, comforted it, and expressed his love and closeness to it.
In terms of relationship, this newborn baby is one of the closest beings to me in this world.
At this point, there is one more primitive and ignorant spirit in the world.
The round bead shape is just the beginning. As Zhou Qing's strength increases and the wonderful tree itself advances, the spirit of the weapon will continue to improve, and its spirituality and wisdom will become more abundant.
If it becomes a top-grade divine weapon, its intelligence will be comparable to that of a normal human child.
If it could accompany Zhou Qing through the tribulation of becoming an immortal, then the wonderful tree would also evolve into an immortal weapon, and its intelligence would leap to a level no different from that of a normal adult, though it would be simpler and purer, after all, it would have less experience.
Later on, as time goes by, the spirit of the weapon will see more things, become smarter and more complex, and become truly no different from living beings.
The spirits in the immortal weapons inherited from the top Taoist sects are simply another race. They have different personalities. Some are rigid and serious, some are extremely eccentric, some are lazy and Buddhist, and some are violent and cold-blooded.
The world of red dust changes all living things.
The most critical influence on the spirit of the immortal weapon is, of course, its owner.
When a brutal demon ascends to heaven, his immortal weapon will definitely not be a good thing.
Acquired experiences will affect the spirit of the instrument, but this kind of creature is truly divided into good and evil by nature.
However, Zhou Qing felt that he was perfect, just like a sage in preparation. He believed that when Miao Shu's spirit grew up, it would also become a sage among tools.
At this moment, the wonderful tree itself began to tremble, and wisps of energy began to emanate, majestic, powerful, and boundless.
Zhou Qing quickly put Miao Shu into the Soul Land to avoid making too much noise outside.
In the land of souls, the wonderful tree shone brightly, its aura was substantial, and it stirred up countless waves on the sea of spirit, which roared violently.
The energy emitted by the wonderful tree with two branches became increasingly heavy, and its surface shone with endless brilliance, as if it had reached the level of an immortal diamond.
The surging divine power is hidden inside the wonderful tree. Once it erupts, it will be the wrath of thunder.
After the spirit of the weapon was completely nurtured and formed, Miao Shu also truly transformed into a divine weapon.
There is truly a god-like aura and pressure that makes people feel awe.
With the magic weapon in hand, his strength has been further improved.
Zhou Qing estimated that ordinary saints were no match for him. This was the bonus that a powerful magic weapon could bring.
The effect on the monks was immediate and enormous.
If a saintly monk possesses a magic weapon and can exert a little power, it will be enough to sweep across the world.
However, this is ultimately the power of an object. We can use it, but we cannot abandon other things because of it.
Zhou Qing would never say that external objects are always external objects. This is his natal magic weapon and is one with him.
But it is certain that we cannot only know about the artifacts and ignore our own improvement.
"With the divine weapon-level tree in hand, no matter what the true test is, I will have a little more confidence."
At this point, everything is ready, and we are just waiting for Xuandu Temple to give us the true teachings for our test.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
The morning light shines on the Xuanfa Mountains, making the place golden.
On the peaks and on the mountain paths, more and more people appeared, starting their practice and affairs for the day.
Deep inside the Xuandu Temple, Deputy Abbot Zhuge was busy, looking at the assessment events reported by the Wangchen Hall and the Merit Hall, sometimes thinking, sometimes writing.
Finally, he left the temple with a booklet and five scrolls of paper and flew deeper into Xuandu Temple.
After a while, Deputy Abbot Zhuge arrived at his destination.
This is a lake surrounded by mountains. The morning mist is floating on the lake, making it hazy and dreamy. Occasionally, you can see fish jumping out of the water and then falling back with a splash.
The morning light shines on the lake, making it look holy and brilliant.
The lake is not small. If you row a boat on it, it will take about two hours to row from one side to the other using ordinary strength.
There are also tall trees with lush branches and leaves by the lake, and the chirping of birds can be heard from time to time.
Deputy Abbot Zhuge descended from the sky from a distance, and then walked towards the mountain lake. His steps were slow and unhurried, and his expression was solemn and dignified.
After a while, he came to a two-story wooden house.
The wooden house is simple and has no extra decoration, but it reveals a unique charm.
It seems to be connected with the mountains, the water, the world and everything in between. It is indispensable and a part of the natural world.
Not far from the wooden house, by the lake, was a small stone platform with two people sitting on it.
From the back, one of them is tall and thin, he is a young man, and the other one is leaning on the back of a chair, his hair and beard are white, he should be an old man.
An old man and a young man are fishing, silently and harmoniously blending into the nature of heaven and earth, as if they were people in a painting.
Deputy Abbot Zhuge walked over, his footsteps light and without making any sound. After standing behind the old man, he lowered his head slightly and said:
"Master."
There was respect in his voice.
Then he looked at the other person, and now he relaxed a lot and raised his head.
"Sword Lord."
The young man turned around and nodded to Deputy Abbot Zhuge. If he saw his face again, he would definitely recognize him as the Sword Master who had been to Black Cloud Town before.
Deputy Abbot Zhuge has also revealed the identity of the old man next to him.
The master of Xuandu Temple, one of the top ten living immortals in the world!
The master of Xuandu Temple did not turn around, but looked at the lake and said:
"It's Tongda, what's the matter?"
Although he looks old, his voice does not sound old. It gives people a vague feeling and it is difficult to tell his age. He seems both old and young.
Zhuge Tongda replied softly:
"This month's True Transmission Qualification Test has ended, and five people have passed the test. I have made some preparations for the True Transmission Assessment, please review it, Master."
It is a common practice that every disciple's true teaching assessment must be reviewed by the master of Xuandu Temple to ensure fairness and justice and avoid fraud and favoritism.
This represents the importance that the master of Xuandu Temple attaches to the true teachings of Xuandu, because these people are the future of Xuandu Temple.
His attitude also ensured that the value of the true teachings assessment remained unchanged, making some people afraid to tamper with the matter, and ensuring that no matter whether they were from aristocratic families, master-disciple relationships, or helpless disciples, they would not have any doubts about the fairness of the true teachings assessment.
Although it seems that the master of Xuandu Temple is only taking a look at the last step and checking it, don't underestimate a master from the fairyland.
Even if he just sits here, as long as he wants, he can know more than anyone else about things like the content of the true teaching assessment.
He can easily tell whether there is a problem or not.
Lu Qingmo once told Zhou Qing that there was no need to worry about being targeted by others during the true transmission assessment, because this was something that the temple master had personally reviewed.
Unless Xuandu Temple is targeting you.
But how is this possible?
"Five people..." Xuandu Temple Master nodded slightly, "Not bad."
"let me see."
Zhuge Tongda handed over the booklet and paper in his hand. At this time, the Sword Master asked, "The True Transmission Qualification Test, I just remembered, has Zhou Qing from Heiyun Town come to Xuandu Temple?"
Upon hearing this, the master of Xuandu Temple asked with a smile:
"Who is this? You went to Black Cloud Town. Did you find an outstanding disciple for Xuandu Temple? What? Are you planning to find a disciple for yourself?"
When facing the Sword Master, the Master of Xuandu Temple had more emotions.
Jian Jun shook his head. "He is a local genius from Heiyun Town, a young man who had little relationship with the Yun family when he was growing up. I didn't find him either. He was trained by the little girl named Lu Qingmo who left Xuandu Temple that year."
"As for taking in a disciple, Zhou Qing is excellent, but he is not suitable for me."
The Sword Master has devoted his life to the sword. Although he practices both soul and martial arts, he is passionate about swords and is obsessed with swordsmanship.
It is obvious what the requirements are to become his disciple.
Jian Jun had met Zhou Qing twice and had probably seen some things: he was not suitable to be his disciple, nor was he suitable to be his master.
That was a very complex, very broad young man.
"The inheritor of that peerless Taoist magic." The master of Xuandu Temple nodded slightly and had an impression of Lu Qingmo.
Then he lowered his head and began to look through the disciple information and true teaching assessment.
Zhuge Tongda saw that the master and disciple in front of him had finished talking, and then he spoke: "Zhou Qing has arrived and also participated in this test."
The Sword Master asked, "How was the performance?"
"Very good performance. I was going to explain it to the abbot." Zhuge Tongda continued:
"We all agree that after Zhou Qing completes the True Transmission Assessment and is promoted to a True Transmission Disciple, he should be given more training. I would like to ask the Master to make the decision."
The head of Xuandu Temple chuckled and said, "It's rare for you to make such a decision. It hasn't happened in many years."
"Zhou Qing is indeed talented and worthy of training." Sword Master said, "By the way, I also promised him that after he becomes a True Disciple, I will choose a good True Disciple Peak for him."
The head of Xuandu Temple nodded, "If that's the case, then let's do as you wish. Zhenchuan Peak, you can choose a better one for him."
When he said the specifications could be better, he didn't mean better than ordinary ones, but meant to allow Sword Master to choose better ones beyond his upper limit of selection.
A more outstanding Zhenchuan Peak is itself a manifestation of vigorous cultivation and a very crucial point.
Jian Jun and the other man nodded and said nothing more.
They all knew that this was just a trivial matter for the master of Xuandu Temple.
They said Zhou Qing had great talent and good performance, and the master of Xuandu Temple did not ask too much about how good he was and agreed without thinking.
The master of Xuandu Temple attaches great importance to the true teachings, but he does not really care about any particular disciple of the true teachings. Instead, he cares about the future of Xuandu Temple.
As for which disciple it was, Master Xuandu Temple didn't care.
After all, they are just young people who have not grown up.
Even if I grow up, so what?
Can you become an immortal?
After reading the content of the true transmission assessment, the master of Xuandu Temple began to check the five scrolls that recorded the disciples' information. The top one was Zhou Qing's.
Each piece of paper contains the disciple’s information, which is very detailed and records his or her background, origin, and interpersonal relationships.
There is also a portrait that is so lifelike that it seems as if a real person is here.
After just the first glance, the expression of the master of Xuandu Temple, who was facing away from Zhuge Tongda, changed slightly and he uttered a sound.
"Um?"
It was just one word, but the tone was obviously different, with a faint sense of... surprise and doubt.
This attracted the attention of the Sword Master and the other two, and the Sword Master asked:
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Is this the Zhou Qing you are talking about?"
The master of Xuandu Temple looked at Zhou Qing's portrait, and his originally calm and peaceful eyes changed, becoming somewhat profound.
Jian Jun took a look, and Zhuge Tongda also took a few steps forward, wondering if he had drawn it wrong.
But he copied it directly with his spirit, so how could it be wrong?
"Yes, that's him."
The Sword Master and the other man nodded.
"Zhou Qing... Black Cloud Town... is the human race..."
The master of Xuandu Temple recited a few words, his eyes fixed on Zhou Qing's portrait.
His behavior left Jian Jun and the other two confused.
The Sword Master asked in confusion, "What's wrong with him?"
The master of Xuandu Temple thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"Maybe."
The two were slightly stunned. What did they mean by "possibly"? "Tongda, bring Zhou Qing here..."
Zhuge Tongda was shocked. He didn't expect to hear such words. A quasi-true disciple, who was just an initiate, was now specifically asked to meet the temple master. How many years hadn't this happened?
Could it be that what Luo Liuli said was true, that a demon had sneaked into Xuandu Temple? Oh no, the leader of the Tianmu Sect came to attack.
"Forget it, that's not necessary."
The master of Xuandu Temple changed his mind again and shook his head slightly.
"Let it be as it is. Don't let anyone know what happened today."
Jian Jun turned his head and looked at Zhuge Tongda, and both of them saw some problems.
It seems that the master/abbot had such a change because he saw Zhou Qing's appearance.
Is there something wrong with this face? (End of this chapter)
