Time passed quickly. After returning to Kunlun Mountain from Tianduan Terrace, it seemed like in the blink of an eye, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening.
Zhou Qing was alone, quietly waiting for the golden finger to refresh.
At a certain moment, familiar information appeared in front of Zhou Qing, and the information was refreshed like a waterfall.
The cheat code has been updated!

[This month's golden finger: seek good fortune and avoid disaster]
[Life Point: Nine]
[Do you want to use your life points to extract the golden finger you once had? ]
Because he had advanced to the marrow cleansing stage in martial arts and had broken through to a new realm, the number of his life points had reached nine.
"Seek good fortune and avoid disaster?"
Zhou Qing looked at these four words and found the meaning of this word easy to understand.
Take the initiative to move towards auspicious and beautiful things, and avoid disasters and dangers.
So this month's golden finger can guide me in my actions, or give me the ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune?
At this time, some enlightenment arose in Zhou Qing's mind. Although it was not as specific and systematic as the [Bloodline of the God of War], [Innate Sword Body] and other talents, it also made Zhou Qing understand the role of this month's golden finger.
When Zhou Qing faces some choices this month, this golden finger will be activated to remind him of the good and bad results that may arise if he makes different choices.
Then Zhou Qing can choose what to do based on the prompts from the golden finger.
The meaning and function of this golden finger are very obvious.
To put it simply, I want all the good things and I don't want to be involved in any of the bad things.
Moreover, this is a "foreknowledge" type of golden finger. Sometimes, the information provided by [Seeking Good Luck and Avoiding Evil] may have unexpected effects.
Equivalent to a prophet.
[Do you want to use your life points to extract the golden finger you once had? ]
This hint appeared again. Zhou Qing thought about it carefully and shook his head.
No extraction.
He wants to keep [Seek Good Luck and Avoid Evil], this golden finger is very useful and there is no need to replace it.
Regardless of whether you can get anything else with this golden finger, just in terms of security, this golden finger is the best of all.
The sky is big and the earth is big, but nothing is as important as your life.
After Zhou Qing's meaning was clear, the question disappeared, and all the strange visions that could only be seen by Zhou Qing also subsided.
As for other feelings, there are none.
This golden finger is obviously like those in [God's Perspective], and exists in a form that Zhou Qing cannot understand.
Unlike the [Ancient Coffin of Rest] or something, it was normal that he couldn't sense the existence of this kind of golden finger.
As long as it can play a role at the critical moment, it's fine.
Zhou Qing walked out of the quiet room and found Lu Qingmo.
Lu Qingmo glanced at him and asked, "Have you finished your training?"
Zhou Qing went out early in the morning to be alone on the pretext of practicing.
"it's over."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Now I will help you practice, Aunt Mo."
Don't get me wrong, practice seriously.
He took out the Yellow Springs Dragon and sent Lu Qingmo into the Yellow Springs.
This is something Lu Qingmo has done frequently since she came out of seclusion. For her level, being able to enter the underworld is the greatest opportunity and the greatest help to her breakthrough.
After the Yellow Spring Dragon turned into a large ice block and returned, Zhou Qing asked as he took the Yellow Spring Liquid:
"How's it going Aunt Mo, any more progress?"
Lu Qingmo was a little absent-minded, as if he was still immersed in the Huangquan environment. After a while, he replied: "After a few more experiences like this, I will be able to use Huangquan Treasure Pills to achieve this. Even if something unexpected happens during the breakthrough, I will definitely be able to save my life."
Zhou Qing was very happy when he heard this.
As for Lu Qingmo's attempt to reach the Yellow Springs Realm, Zhou Qing's bottom line is to stay alive.
Even if you fail, there will be many opportunities in the future. As long as you are safe, other results are acceptable.
Zhou Qing said: "Then use the Yellow Spring Dragon for a few more days to increase your confidence."
Although Lu Qingmo had just come out of confinement, he was destined not to be able to accompany Zhou Qing for long.
After sixteen years of silence, now is the time to make great progress and keep climbing.
If there is an opportunity for improvement, then of course we must seize it.
Zhou Qing had no objection to this. Instead, he was willing to see Lu Qingmo become stronger.
He hopes that both of them will become better and better, not that one will become the other's vassal.
After collecting all the Yellow Spring Liquid this time, Zhou Qing looked at the Yellow Spring Dragon and suddenly had an idea.
This is a treasure he obtained during his travels in the Sun Realm. He has had it for a long time, but he has never used it.
Now he is already in the middle stage of the Manifestation of Sainthood. I wonder if he can withstand the environment of Huangquan? What will happen if he enters Huangquan now? At this time, a ball of light appeared in Zhou Qing's mind, and then the ball of light suddenly exploded, with stars and turned into words.
[The dragon of Huangquan is a magical treasure with infinite uses, which is very touching. Those who get this treasure wish they could live in Huangquan for a long time to see the mysteries of heaven and earth. However, the sky is high and the earth is deep, the blue sky is misty, and Huangquan is mysterious. If you enter it rashly, you will suffer both good and bad luck! ]
Zhou Qing was stunned as he looked at this message. Is this the activation of [Seeking Good Luck and Avoiding Evil]?
Then further changes occurred. The words suddenly became blurred, and then gathered together to form a stick composed of three rays of light, with words also appearing on the stick.
Zhou Qing's attention fell on the first sign, which read:
[Win the lottery: Give up the idea, you will not die, although there is no gain, but you can be safe and sound, no future troubles, a draw! ]
[Middle-bad sign: Take a risk and enter the underworld. You will be protected by the dragon of the underworld and gain some insights into the underworld. However, your soul will be eroded by the power of the underworld, damaging the soul's foundation. It will take time and treasures to recover. There are endless hidden dangers. This is a bad sign! ]
[The worst fortune: Take a risk, enter the underworld, then take the initiative to break away from the dragon of the underworld, and explore the underworld with your soul. Your soul will be destroyed immediately. Very bad fortune! ]
“…”
Looking at these three lots, Zhou Qing fell silent.
The best choice is to stay in this world peacefully and not mess around...
The other two options are both extremely dangerous, and the most serious one will result in death.
The right thing to do is not to do it. As the saying goes, if you don't seek death, you won't die.
"It seems that Huangquan is not something I can explore now..."
Zhou Qing thought silently in his heart, fortunately when he first obtained the Yellow Springs Dragon, he was cautious and did not try it out of curiosity.
Otherwise it might have been sent.
The hint of [Seek good fortune and avoid disaster] is very clear. If you enter Huangquan now, at most you will gain some insights into Huangquan, but the hidden dangers are endless.
As for Zhou Qing, who is now in the realm of sainthood, his insights into the underworld are of no use at all.
He is not yet at the stage where he needs to gain enlightenment from Huangquan. When he cultivates to the third level of Yin Shen in the future, he will have plenty of opportunities to explore this thing.
Zhou Qing naturally gave up the idea of entering the underworld immediately.
Seeing that Zhou Qing was a little absent-minded, Lu Qingmo asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I was just wondering when I can use the Yellow Spring Dragon."
Lu Qingmo thought Zhou Qing was referring to how he could cultivate to the level of Huangquan, so he smiled and said:
"With your cultivation speed, and with the help of the Yin-Yang Divine Pill, it won't take long."
"Don't worry, you are already very fast. I don't know how many senior masters are ashamed to mention their training speed when they were young in front of you."
Zhou Qing smiled and after chatting for a few more words, Lu Qingmo went to digest the gains from this trip to the underworld.
Zhou Qing was alone, and he began to think about the golden finger again.
The first activation of the golden finger just now reminded Zhou Qing and made him give up the idea of taking risks. At the same time, it also allowed Zhou Qing to have a better understanding of it.
The hint it gives is that a tie should mean that this choice is in the middle, not particularly bad, but not extremely bad either.
Well...I did learn a lesson.
Are all tie-breaks like this without any blessings or disasters? After thinking about this, Zhou Qing shook his head slightly, thinking that this might not be the case.
"If I'm facing some particularly dangerous and difficult to resolve situations, then even if it's a draw, there might still be hidden dangers. However, compared to a medium or low-risk draw, or even a very bad draw, even if there are hidden dangers, it should be within my tolerance range."
"Well, the word 'peace' may have another meaning, which is that while there are hidden dangers, there are also benefits. Both exist, but neither is great."
As for the medium and low bad fortune signs, it is obvious that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, or there may even be no advantages at all. However, the disadvantages of the bad fortune signs are not absolutely fatal, so there is a possibility of overcoming the danger.
Needless to say, this is a very bad fortune. Judging from this fortune, it is a complete death situation with no way out.
If you choose the bad path, no matter if there are benefits or not, you will definitely not be alive to enjoy them.
However, this is the first time that the method of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster has taken effect. Everything is just Zhou Qing's initial guess. Only after accumulating more experience can a more accurate judgment be made.
"There are both normal and bad luck, so there must be good luck as well. What this good luck is, we can only wait until the golden finger is triggered again to see."
Zhou Qing thought about this and started to try again. For example, this idea emerged in his mind.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
I want to leave Xuanfa Mountain now! I want to betray Xuandu Temple! I want to commit suicide...
It's a pity that [Seek good fortune and avoid disaster] didn't respond at all.
It seems that this golden finger will not appear just by his casual thoughts.
Some things don’t really count and don’t require choice.
It's impossible for me to eat or not eat this morning, the [Avoiding danger and seeking good fortune] golden finger will pop out to give me some guidance...
"It's an interesting golden finger."
Zhou Qing smiled and didn't care anymore.
It will appear naturally when it should, and it will definitely not delay Zhou Qing.
Early in the morning, Zhou Qing left Kunlun Mountain and went to the Zhenchuan Palace.
He is already the ninth true disciple, and Xuandu Temple will give him some rewards, and his treatment will be significantly improved compared to before.
Now Zhou Qing is going to collect the benefits.
"Mr. Qian."
“You’re here.”
There is still only Master Qian in the True Transmission Palace. The others among the ten true transmissions do not need to come here to claim their rewards for the changes in their rankings this time.
After all, Zhou Qing is the only new face. Even if the rankings of others have changed, they were all among the top ten true disciples before the changes.
Improving one or two places will not result in as big a reward as the first time you are among the top ten.
It wasn't like anyone pulled Dugu down.
"Congratulations, you are ranked ninth in the True Transmission." Elder Qian said with a smile:
"It has been four months since I entered Xuandu Temple, and I have reached this height directly during my first battle for position. Such an achievement is rare in the history of Xuandu Temple, and you will be remembered forever."
Zhou Qing said modestly: "I am still far from being a true master, and I need to continue to work hard."
"It's good that you have such a determination."
Elder Qian nodded, took out a space bag, and said, "Inside these are the vitality crystals and other resources you need for your daily practice. Compared to before, the Ninth True Transmission's monthly resource quota is much higher, and the quota given to you this time is calculated from the time you entered the sect, which is equivalent to making up for your previous four months of practice resources according to the Ninth True Transmission's treatment."
"The most important thing is that the quality of resources such as Yuan Qi Crystals and Qi and Blood Pills has been improved. Those supplied to the ten great disciples are all top-grade products of the same level."
Zhou Qing took the space bag. Great, Xuandu Temple gave him another space bag.
As for daily cultivation resources like Yuan Qi Crystal, outer disciples use lower-grade ones, inner disciples use middle-grade ones, and true disciples use higher-grade ones.
In the past few months, Zhou Qing received top-quality rewards every month. Now that he has become one of the top ten true disciples, he can immediately enjoy the best treatment and even make up for it. This shows how generous Xuandu Temple is.
For example, the Qi and Blood Pill. The Qi and Blood power in the top-grade pill is more condensed and profound. One pill can be equivalent to several top-grade pills. While it has more medicinal power, it is also easier to be absorbed and refined by the body.
The same is true for resources such as Yuanqi Crystal.
Impurities and the like make no difference, because there are no such things.
No matter what, Xuandu Temple would never give such impurities to its disciples for cultivation. If they really did so, they would be cutting off their own roots.
"There are also Taoist martial arts." Elder Qian continued:
"Each of the ten great disciples can choose a higher level heavenly art or higher level heavenly martial arts at any time."
"If you have some knowledge of elixirs, weapons, talismans, etc., or want to practice a certain skill in the future, you can also apply for inheritance in this area. The highest you can get is the inheritance of a senior in the Biluo Tongtian realm. Of course, this is not an either-or reward with the Heavenly Dao Art and Heavenly Martial Arts. You can get both."
Zhou Qing nodded. Not to mention the Tiandaoshu or Tianwuxue, the opportunity to apply for skill inheritance would also be very useful to him.
He has extraordinary talent in formations and can use them in some places. If he can obtain a profound inheritance, it will be very helpful for his future practice of the Immortal Sword Sutra and even other aspects.
These cultivation skills are very useful for practitioners when they travel around the world. Pills and talismans can be of great help. You may not know how to make pills, but you cannot be without pills.
The formations are more special. When you are alone outside, you will inevitably encounter some forbidden formations. If you don't know anything about this, you will be at a great disadvantage.
There is really nothing you can do if you don't know how to do this.
The highest level of skills that Xuandu Temple can pass on is the Biluo Tongtian level, which is already top-notch in the world.
I can only say that it is fortunate that I am in a top-notch Taoist school. If I were outside, there would be no way to inherit this level of skills.
But in Xuandu Temple, there is more than one inheritance for disciples to choose from.
"Regarding the inheritance reward, there is one more important point."
Qian Lao's expression became more serious and he said:
"The last seven of the ten true disciples can apply for the exclusive task of inheriting peerless Taoist techniques or peerless magic skills. After completing the task, they can obtain the peerless inheritance of Xuandu Temple."
Peerless Taoist magic! Peerless magic! Unlike the heavenly inheritance that was directly bestowed upon becoming a true disciple, the difficulty and threshold of obtaining a peerless inheritance was not low.
Generally speaking, only the last seven of the ten great disciples have hope of obtaining it. The second and third true teachings can be obtained after passing a simple test. Only the first true teaching can be passed on directly without any process.
However, with the talent and strength of the second and third true disciples of Xuandu Temple, the relevant tests are easy to complete. Such tests are more like formalities.
Therefore, it is correct to say that the first three true disciples can directly obtain the peerless inheritance.
If the true disciples behind the ten great disciples want to come into contact with the peerless inheritance, they need to make great contributions first and then they can accept the inheritance mission.
Of course, if the contribution is particularly great, there is hope of skipping the task and directly obtaining the peerless inheritance.
Peerless and heavenly levels are completely different. Even if you cultivate to the level of Huangquan Chedi and Qingluo Tongtian in the future, peerless inheritance will still exist like a trump card.
And the key is that the peerless inheritance also has a certain guiding role in the fairyland.
Although the probability of becoming an immortal is still slim, it is undoubted that a little more help is better than nothing.
In a top Taoist sect like Xuandu Temple, peerless inheritance is also highly valued and can be called the fundamental inheritance.
What happened to Lu Qingmo back then shocked Xuandu. For the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Seal, even masters from the Biluo Realm were involved, which eventually led to Lu Qingmo leaving Xuandu Temple and heading for Heiyun Town.
And now that Lu Qingmo has recovered and entered the third level of Yin Shen, Zhuge Tongda directly promised him various resources, and the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal definitely played a big factor.
"I want to remind you that the exclusive missions of peerless inheritance are not simple. You can consider waiting until your cultivation level has improved a bit, such as until you have reached the late stage of Manifestation of Sainthood, or when you have reached the Perfect Manifestation of Sainthood, before applying for the mission and completing it."
Elder Qian said: "With your current realm, the few Taoist martial arts you have are enough to practice."
Zhou Qing nodded. This was indeed for his own good. After thinking for a while, he asked again:
"Master Qian, if I haven't applied for the inheritance mission yet, but I have become one of the top three true disciples, can I continue to apply for the inheritance mission while enjoying the treatment of the top three true disciples?"
“…”
The old man was speechless.
"If you have the ability to become the first true disciple directly, then you don't need to complete the mission. Because you are practicing two arts at the same time, the sect will directly reward you with one peerless Taoist technique and one peerless divine skill."
"If it's the second or third, then the situation you described will not happen. But if you complete a legacy mission now, the sect will still give you another chance to inherit the mission later."
After hearing this, Zhou Qing thought about it in his mind.
If you are not sure of becoming the first true disciple in the short term, then after your strength has improved, complete the inheritance mission first to obtain the peerless magic skills, and then complete the test when you reach the second or third true disciple. This is the way to maximize your benefits.
If you are sure of becoming the first true disciple, then of course you don't need to choose more.
Who would be willing to do a task when they can get something directly?
Looking at Zhou Qing who was lost in thought, Mr. Qian smiled and shook his head.
Boy, you think long term. As soon as you reach ninth place, you start thinking about the top three.
If someone else asked this question, Mr. Qian would definitely think that they were too ambitious, but the person who said this happened to be Zhou Qing...
The persuasiveness is so strong!
