On the way back, Luo Liuli said to him: "What Elder Qian said is for your own good. You should indeed practice meditation for a while. But since you have already had this idea, I won't say much."
"Your true transmission ceremony is over, and I will go into seclusion and take the Yin-Yang Poles Life-Restoring Pill."
This was something Luo Liuli had planned to do a long time ago, but it was postponed because of Zhou Qing.
Now, Zhou Qing's many matters regarding entry have been basically completed. He has also gained a lot of understanding about Xuandu Temple and has become part of the place.
Luo Liuli did not disappoint the Shuiyue Peak Master and Lu Qingmo, and can now rest assured in her retreat.
Thinking of the Life-Restoring Pill, Luo Liuli's eyes also showed anticipation.
She can directly break through a small realm. If she succeeds, she can look forward to the blue sky realm after coming out.
Zhou Qing wished Luo Liuli a few blessings, and also hoped that the Life-Restoring Pill would have the effect as recorded.
After blessing, Zhou Qing asked curiously: "How long does it take to break through a small realm in Huangquan Realm?"
"It depends on whether everything goes well. If everything goes well, then I should be able to come out of retreat before the mid-year True Transmission Ranking Assessment." Luo Liuli replied:
"If it doesn't go smoothly, then it's hard to say."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Then everything must be going smoothly for you."
After returning to Kunlun Mountain, there were quite a few people here.
Ao Xuanwei and Yun Duo need no further explanation, and the head of the family, Han Tielin, also came in person.
Han Tielin was already present at the true transmission ceremony.
Several disciples selected by Zhou Qing, such as Ye Gong, Gu Feng and others, also came to Kunlun Mountain.
They moved directly and will live in Kunlun Mountains permanently from now on.
Zhou Qing exchanged a few words with Han Tielin and others, and then Han Tielin took out a gift and handed it to Zhou Qing.
"It's just a small gift, not a sign of respect."
"Master Han is too polite."
Zhou Qing smiled and did not refuse.
If he refused, it would send a bad signal to Han Tielin.
Then Zhou Qing said to Han Ju and Han Shu, "Take my invitation and go to Jingyan Peak and Wuguang Peak to invite Senior Sister Lu and Senior Brother Jiang."
These two true disciples were the only two true disciples Zhou Qing knew so far in Xuandu Temple. At this auspicious time, he was ready to have some fun, so naturally he should invite them over.
Most true disciples will do something like this after holding the true transmission ceremony, inviting friends to gather at the True Transmission Peak to celebrate.
This is a good tradition, and Zhou Qing has no intention of abandoning it. It is also beneficial to get together with friends more often.
Of course, he and Junior Brother Qi were also very familiar with each other, but Junior Brother Qi was still in the Li Dao Pool and couldn’t call him.
There was also Luo Liuli, whom Zhou Qing had also invited, but Luo Liuli refused, so Zhou Qing and the other young people could just celebrate together.
On the waist of Kunlun Mountain, there is an irregular boulder protruding outward, with pavilions on the rock and a large open space.
You can look up at the bright moon and vaguely see the snow on the top of the mountain; you can look down at the earth and see the vast rivers and mountains. It is located between heaven and earth, and the imagery is extraordinary.
Also, due to the existence of the formation, there was a cool breeze, which was quite comfortable and not cold.
Long tables were placed in an orderly manner on the huge rocks. An Lang, Yun Duo, and disciples like Han Ya who followed Zhou Qing in practice placed edible spiritual objects and plates of delicious food on the tables.
The cost of hosting a banquet is just a drop in the bucket for Zhou Qing.
But disciples like Han Ya who followed him to practice were secretly surprised when they saw what Zhou Qing took out.
This Senior Brother Zhou, without any family support, unexpectedly has such a strong family background.
If these spiritual objects were left outside, people would fight over them, and it would be difficult for them to use such treasures normally.
But now, Senior Brother Zhou took it out and used it to entertain guests casually.
It is really a blessing to be able to follow this senior brother.
After a while, Han Ju and his companion came back and told Zhou Qing that they had already informed Lu Yuanyuan and Jiang Mi.
Han Ju said again: "Brother, Senior Sister Lu said that she will bring a few friends with her."
Zhou Qing nodded, indicating that he understood.
This was not Lu Yuanyuan's own decision. She had mentioned this matter to Zhou Qing before, saying that when there was a chance in the future, she would introduce him to a few other true disciples.
They are all "innocent families" who have a good relationship with Lu Yuanyuan and have no conflicts with the Shuiyue Peak lineage through their backgrounds.
Zhou Qing naturally agreed to this and said he was at your service at any time.
And this time he was holding a banquet, which naturally provided an opportunity.
Not long after, Jiang Mi arrived at Kunlun Mountain first. Zhou Qing went out to greet him and heard Jiang Mi exclaiming: "Junior Brother Zhou, I have heard of your Kunlun Mountain for a long time. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I can only say that it is indeed well-deserved. It really opened my eyes."
"As expected of a famous mountain of Xuanfa, my Five Lights Peak pales in comparison to Kunlun Mountain."
"Brother Jiang, you are too polite." Zhou Qing said with a smile.
Jiang Mi smiled and handed over a wooden box, saying, "I came here in a hurry this time, so I only prepared a small gift. Please don't despise it, Junior Brother."
"I couldn't be happier."
Zhou Qing took the wooden box and led Jiang Mi forward.
It is normal to bring a gift when attending a private banquet hosted by a new disciple on the day of the disciple's initiation ceremony.
There is no need to give something very precious, as long as it is suitable for your status.
The gift itself represents the thought.
When he took Jiang Mi up the mountain, he never stopped admiring Kunlun Mountain.
Compared with the true peaks of most other true disciples, Kunlun Mountain is indeed too majestic and not on the same scale.
When they arrived at the banquet venue, Zhou Qing introduced Ao Xuanwei and others.
After learning that this was Yun Jiangjun's daughter, Jiang Mi was filled with respect.
Although the Yunjiang Dragon Palace is far inferior to the Xuandu Temple, the Jiang family is also far inferior to the Yunjiang Dragon Palace.
What's more, Jiang Mi was born in Hanzhou and knew a little about the relationship between Yunjiang Dragon Palace and the Snow Dragon Clan.
I heard that this dragon girl has lived in Kunlun Mountain for many days. The relationship between Junior Brother and this dragon girl is really not simple...
After a while, Lu Yuanyuan arrived, and Zhou Qing naturally went out to greet her in person.
In addition to Lu Yuanyuan, there were three other people who came with her, two women and one man.
"Junior brother!"
Lu Yuanyuan smiled and shouted, "Congratulations."
"Let me introduce you to it."
Lu Yuanyuan looked at the woman on her left and said, "This is Senior Sister Cao Yinyin from Bixia Peak. Senior Sister Cao is the fourteenth true disciple, and her rank is higher than mine."
Cao Yinyin is a petite girl with a bit of baby fat on her face, which makes her look cute.
She smiled and nodded at Zhou Qing, her smile quite bright.
"Junior Brother Zhou, I have heard a lot about you."
"Meet Senior Sister Cao."
Then Lu Yuanyuan looked at the female cultivator on her right and said, "This is Senior Sister Murong Yanran from Qinghui Mountain. Junior brother, you must have heard of her."
Zhou Qing's heart moved, and he immediately said:
"Meet Senior Sister Murong."
He had indeed heard of Murong Yanran's name. She was the sixth true disciple of Xuandu Temple! Among the ten true disciples of Xuandu Temple, there were three female disciples, ranking second, sixth, and eighth respectively. They were role models for all the female disciples of Xuandu.
Murong Yanran has a gentle appearance. Although her looks are not particularly outstanding, she gives people a feeling as gentle as water.
"Junior Brother Zhou, hello."
"And the last one." Lu Yuanyuan looked at the man on Murong Yanran's right and introduced him:
"This guy's name is Shi Yi. He practices in Wan Ku Peak. He is the eighteenth true disciple. His rank is still behind mine. He is not worth mentioning."
Shi Yi is a handsome, cheerful and sunny young man. After hearing what Lu Yuanyuan said, he looked helpless.
"Senior Sister Lu, you have to save some face for me in front of Junior Brother Zhou."
"Junior Brother Zhou, nice to meet you. I have long wanted to make friends with you. Today I finally have this opportunity. It is better to meet you in person than to hear about you. Junior Brother Zhou is indeed a dragon among men."
"Brother Shi, you are too kind. I still need to work harder."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to be polite to this person."
Lu Yuanyuan was smiling, Murong Yanran and Cao Yinyin also laughed, and it was obvious that they had a good relationship.
"Oh, Junior Brother, Senior Sister Murong and Junior Brother Shi are a Taoist couple. From now on, you only need to respect Senior Sister Murong and don't worry about Junior Brother Shi."
Shi Yi was furious, "Lü Yuanyuan!"
Not even calling me senior sister anymore.
Lu Yuanyuan immediately took Murong Yanran's arm and said in a miserably pretended voice:
"Senior sister, look at Shi Yi."
"Hahaha."
Cao Yinyin laughed loudly, and Shi Yi shook his head helplessly.
Of course, being ranked eighteenth in Xuan Du Zhen Chuan is also an extraordinary talent. There is a great hope of cultivating into the Huangquan Chedi realm in the future. Everyone has that talent to pursue a long enough lifespan.
Zhou Qing said, "Let's go up the mountain first, and then we can talk after the banquet."
"Let's go." Lu Yuanyuan agreed, and then handed the gift she had prepared to Zhou Qing.
Murong Yanran and the others were also prepared.
Zhou Qingdu took it with a smile and led them up the mountain.
The majestic grandeur of Kunlun Mountain naturally aroused the admiration of several people, and Cao Yinyin was the most lively and talked constantly.
When they arrived at the banquet, Zhou Qing introduced everyone to each other, and then they took their seats.
However, when he saw Ye Gong and others were standing, he smiled and motioned for them to sit down and not to be restrained.
No matter what, they are all part of Kunlun Mountain now. Zhou Qing would not deny them a seat or a meal just because of the difference between the true sect and the inner and outer sects.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
What is noble is not status or bloodline, but the heart and soul.
There is no need for Zhou Qing to demonstrate his class in this way to show off his power. That would be too stupid.
Zhou Qing, Ao Xuanwei and Lu Yuanyuan sat together. The moon was bright, the sky was high and the earth was vast, with a breeze blowing on their faces. It was so pleasant.
"Junior brother, I heard that you and Junior brother Jiang killed three demons from the ancient demon sect together?"
Lu Yuanyuan asked with great interest: "So amazing?"
"Senior Sister Lu, you embarrassed me." Jiang Mi shook his head. "It was all Junior Brother Zhou's credit that we were able to kill those three demon cultivators. I just watched from the side and didn't play any role."
This news had already spread in Xuandu Temple, but Jiang Mi felt a little ashamed every time he heard it.
He clearly didn't contribute anything, but he still became the one who worked together with Junior Brother Zhou to kill the demon. It was quite embarrassing.
Jiang Mi naturally reported the situation to Xuandu Temple and admitted that he did not play any role in that battle.
However, Xuandu Temple would naturally not care about such rumors. To some extent, this rumor was actually a good thing for Zhou Qing.
Jiang Mi is equivalent to sharing the firepower with Zhou Qing. If the Ancient Demon Sect wants to retaliate, Jiang Mi will not be able to escape...
Jiang Mi's heart was filled with complex emotions.
"It was just luck." Zhou Qing replied, "I used some other means to kill them. I almost became a ghost in the hands of the demon cultivator."
"Be careful of the people from the Ancient Demon Sect in the future." Ao Xuanwei, who was sitting next to Zhou Qing, said, "The people from the Ancient Demon Sect are all a bunch of lunatics, even more abnormal than the disciples of the Tianmu Sect. If you need my help with anything, remember to come to me in time."
"Don't worry, I will be practicing in Kunlun Mountain for the next period of time and will not go out for the time being."
Lu Yuanyuan's eyes moved between Zhou Qing and Ao Xuanwei, and she felt a little excited.
Is there any situation between Junior Brother and the Lord of Dragon Palace?
Shi Yi smiled again and said, "Junior Brother Zhou has just achieved true enlightenment, and he has killed three demons from the ancient demon sect. As time goes by, I wonder how many demon cultivators will fall at the hands of Junior Brother. This is a great merit."
"Brother Shi, you are too kind." Zhou Qing replied, "Exterminating demons and punishing evil is what all righteous people in the world do. I am just fulfilling my responsibilities."
“…”
"Junior Brother Zhou said that he plans to practice in seclusion in Kunlun Mountain for a period of time?"
"That is indeed the plan."
"That's right. You just became a true disciple. There are many things you need to practice. It will take a lot of time."
“…”
Although the two parties had just met, they did not feel awkward chatting at the table. They were very friendly and spoke very nicely.
Like Murong Yanran, even though she is ranked among the top ten disciples, she still faces Zhou Qing who is ranked last. Oh no, Zhou Qing is now fifth from the bottom. Her ranking automatically rose because of the return of Qi Yunyuan and others.
Murong Yanran also spoke softly, and occasionally taught Zhou Qing some experiences of living in Xuandu Temple.
The atmosphere everywhere was harmonious and there was constant laughter and joy.
Anyone brought here by Lu Yuanyuan must be someone she trusts absolutely, and it is certainly impossible for him to do anything bad at this time.
During the chat, Zhou Qing also roughly understood the personalities of Murong Yanran and the other two, and found that none of them had any bad intentions.
At least not here.
During the conversation, we got to know each other and initially established a pretty good relationship. Perhaps after spending more time together in the future, we can become better friends.
"An Lang, what are you eating?"
"Sister Lu, it's honey."
"Let me taste it... Hmm, why is it so bitter?"
"I haven't finished my words yet. This is ghost honey, specially for ghosts to eat. You are a living person, you are not used to eating it. The young master found it specially for me."
"Hahaha."
Zhou Qing sat in his seat, looking at everyone who was very happy, and felt that this kind of day was pretty good.
He turned his head again and looked beside him. Ao Xuanwei was looking at him with a smile, and Zhou Qing also smiled at her.
As time passed, the Kunlun Mountain Banquet came to an end, and Zhou Qing sent Lu Yuanyuan and the others down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Lu Yuanyuan said to Zhou Qing: "Junior brother, Master told me that she is going to retreat. If you have any questions in the future, just contact me directly."
"OK."
"Junior Brother Zhou, please go out more often in the future." Shi Yi said with a smile, "If you have anything, you can come to Wan Ku Peak to find me. Of course, you can also go to find Yan Ran."
Cao Yinyin shouted beside him: "And me, and me!"
Zhou Qing smiled and nodded and agreed.
Lu Yuanyuan and others said goodbye, and Zhou Qing watched them leave.
“Xuan Du Zhen Chuan… I’ve met more people and now I feel like I’ve truly integrated into this group.”
Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head. When he returned upstairs, the place had been cleaned up. Ao Xuanwei was standing by the stone, like a fairy who was about to ascend to heaven.
Zhou Qing walked over, stood beside her, and said:
“What a relaxing and pleasant day.”
Ao Xuanwei smiled and nodded, then took out a box and handed it over.
"A gift prepared for you. Congratulations on becoming a true disciple of Xuandu Temple. You have a promising future."
"Thank you."
Zhou Qing took it, then thought of something and said:
"I have something here that I need you to take a look at."
"Is there any treasure you are unsure about now?"
Ao Xuanwei thought of some things that happened when Zhou Qing was still in Heiyun Town, and her smile became more intense.
"It's not that I'm unsure. I know what this thing does, but I don't think I can use it. I have no choice but to ask you for advice."
Zhou Qing took out a jade bottle and explained, "This contains a drop of dragon blood. The owner of the dragon blood once challenged the Earth-Clearing Realm. Although he failed to break through, he also experienced some transformation. Therefore, this drop of dragon blood is more special than the ordinary dragon blood that has been refined three times."
This drop of original dragon blood was naturally the one that had appeared at the Jiuyang Auction and was bought by Yang Teng, but he killed Yang Teng, so the dragon blood naturally fell into his hands.
After taking the original dragon blood, a strange look flashed in Ao Xuanwei's eyes.
"Did you kill Yang Teng?"
"Hey, has the news of Yang Teng's death spread?"
Once these words were spoken, it was naturally equivalent to consent.
After Zhou Qing left Tianzhou, he lost the channel to obtain information there, so he really had no idea what happened after he killed Yang Teng.
"It caused quite a stir." Ao Xuanwei said:
"I heard that Yang Teng left with the treasures that Lingyang Lake had bought at the Jiuyang Auction, but he was unable to return to Lingyang Lake and died outside. The old dragon in Lingyang Lake was alarmed and personally came to Jiuyang City to question the culprit and track down the murderer."
Zhou Qing asked, "Did you find out anything?"
"No, although we found the place where Yang Teng died, there was no trace of the murderer. The old dragon of Lingyang Lake was furious, but it was useless. After making a fuss, he returned to Lingyang Lake."
Zhou Qing sighed, "I hope my good brother will not be born in Lingyang Lake in the next life."
"Don't tell anyone else about this." Ao Xuanwei warned: "Yang Teng's mother was born in the West Sea and has a strong background in the West Sea. Try not to let her know that it was you who did it."
"I understand." Zhou Qing nodded, "You are the second person who knows about this."
He was indeed very careful. Today was the first time he took out this drop of original dragon blood since he got it.
Including the puppet, he also asked Song Dongchen to make some changes to its color and appearance when repairing it to avoid being recognized.
Ao Xuanwei smiled. At this time, she was in a good mood.
Ao Xuanwei was in a good mood when she learned that Yang Teng was dead.
Although Ao Xuanwei never took this mixed-blood dragon seriously, Yang Teng's occasional appearances in the past were quite annoying.
Good death! Now that she knew that the person who killed Yang Teng was Zhou Qing, Ao Xuanwei was even happier.
He is venting his anger on me.
