[The towering sacred mountain and the vast ancient temple are rare to come across in a decade. Good and bad things coexist. Choice is more important than effort! ]
[Middle to upper level: accept Lu Yuanyuan's invitation, form a team of five, and collect the five beasts, namely the real dragon, phoenix, black tortoise, white tiger, and golden armor, or the blood of the five beasts in advance, and enter the Dark Ancient Mountain together to explore the special Dark Ancient Temple that is rare in ten years. Although there are dangers along the way, the five people work together to overcome the dangers and obtain the opportunity of earth-grade fortune. This is a lucky sign! ]
[Win the lottery: Refuse the invitation, do not go to the Minggu Divine Mountain, practice meditation in the mountain, it's plain and simple, there are no extra benefits, and no extra dangers, a draw! ]
[Middle-bad sign: Go to the Dark Ancient Mountain alone and explore the temple without any preparation. There are many dangers and dangers. If you act cautiously, your life will be safe, but the harvest will be low and there will be many hidden dangers. This is a bad sign! ]
After Zhou Qing finished reading the three lots, he was a little surprised.
The hints on this winning lottery ticket were much clearer than before, and even told him what preparations he should make.
It is worthy of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster.
"The Underworld Ancient Temple that is rare in a decade... Is this the Underworld Ancient Temple that is about to be unveiled? Does it mean it is of very high standards?"
Zhou Qing pondered secretly.
"And the lucky sign also reminds us to collect the blood of five beasts in advance and form a team of five to explore the Underworld Ancient Temple. In other words, if we want to obtain the earth-grade opportunity it mentioned, five people and five kinds of beast blood are indispensable."
It is also possible to directly find the five beasts including the True Dragon, but this is much more troublesome than collecting beast blood.
Zhou Qing could understand the situation represented by the number requirement.
Some formations and restrictions will have several core locations. If you want to break them, you need to gather several people and work at the core locations at the same time to break the formation and lift the restrictions together.
If there are not enough people and your own strength is not far beyond the level of the formation restrictions, then there is nothing you can do.
If Zhou Qing had not intervened in this case of the Dark Ancient Temple, it would have been a matter of a few masters making it to the end and then cooperating with each other to gain the greatest benefit.
The prerequisite is that they have the blood of the five beasts.
The three fortune sticks clearly state the consequences of the three choices. The rest depends on Zhou Qing's own choice.
"This time, the plan to seek good fortune and avoid disaster is only aimed at the Dark Ancient Temple. The Ancient Puppet Road is not included. Does this mean that the Ancient Puppet Road is normal?"
"Earth-level opportunity..."
It should be something that corresponds to the Huangquan Chedi realm. Such things are very precious.
Zhou Qing had already made a trip to the Ancient Puppet Road to obtain the idea of a puppet, and now there was another opportunity of earth-grade acquisition, which was quite tempting.
Although Zhou Qing has treasures of the Earth Realm and the Heaven Realm, they are few and far between. It would be an exaggeration to say that he can ignore such an opportunity.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing asked:
"When I first became a true disciple, a Dark Ancient Temple appeared. At that time, I heard you say that the temple was not simple."
"What about this temple that is about to be unveiled? Do you know what its specifications are?"
Lu Yuanyuan replied, "The Underworld Ancient Temple that we found more than three months ago was indeed not simple. Qi Yunhai led people to explore it personally, and I heard that they gained a lot from it."
"But the nature of the temple we have received news about is still unknown. Only before some Hades Ancient Temples are born will there be signs, but this does not mean that the specifications of these temples are very high."
"These omens of the birth of the temple just happen to be because the temple that is about to be born is located in the area of the Dark Ancient Divine Mountain where there are formation restrictions. It wants to be born, but it is blocked by the restrictions. It will have friction and conflict with these restrictions, and then the so-called omens will appear and be discovered by explorers."
"But in history, the treasures contained in these temples with omens vary in level. There are the most ordinary temples, and there are also better ones. There is no pattern."
If there are no restrictions at the location where a temple is to be built, then it can naturally "break out of the ground" without any sudden appearance without any warning.
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I also have plans to go to Minggu Divine Mountain, but the place I wanted to go to before was Gukui Road."
"Ancient Puppet Road? Are you trying to capture puppets?"
Lu Yuanyuan immediately guessed Zhou Qing's plan.
"Yes, I want to find a chance to capture a puppet with the second or third level of True Blood Refinement. It doesn't matter if it's complete or not, broken or incomplete will do."
"If you don't care whether it is complete or not, that's not difficult. If you want to go into the Dark Ancient Divine Mountain with us, then I can go to the Ancient Puppet Road with you, but..."
Lu Yuanyuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Senior Sister Murong what they think."
Lu Yuanyuan is very smart and would never take on so much responsibility on her own and agree to it on behalf of Murong Yanran and the others.
Zhou Qing watched Lu Yuanyuan messaging other people without saying anything more.
If possible, he still hopes to go in together, which will be beneficial for exploring the temple and can also help him obtain the puppet.
After a while, the communication instruments in Lu Yuanyuan's hands lit up one after another, and someone was messaging her back.
After receiving the information, Lu Yuanyuan smiled and said:
"Brother, if you are willing to join us, then after we finish exploring the Dark Ancient Temple, we can go to the Ancient Puppet Road together and capture the puppets you need together."
It’s not that she is unwilling to help Zhou Qing, it’s not a question of how close their relationship is.
But Lu Yuanyuan had first agreed to explore the temple with Murong Yanran and the others. This was an agreement made in advance, and it was impossible for her to just go back on her word and abandon Murong Yanran and the others.
"Well, let's go into the Dark Ancient Mountain together."
Zhou Qing smiled and nodded.
In fact, Zhou Qing joining the team to explore the temple does not conflict with whether they will accompany him to the Ancient Puppet Road. These are two things that happen one after the other, not at the same time.
Now Murong Yanran and the others are willing to help Zhou Qing capture the puppet, which is undoubtedly an expression of goodwill towards Zhou Qing.
From their perspective, they don’t know the specialness of this temple. If they explore it with their strength, they will definitely benefit regardless of whether Zhou Qing is there or not.
Being able to actively invite Zhou Qing to join him and being willing to accompany him to capture puppets showed that he was very friendly and loyal to Zhou Qing.
And their kindness and help will naturally be rewarded.
Help each other and make progress together.
"When are we leaving?"
"According to predictions, the temple will only appear in about five days, so we can go there a day in advance."
"That's still plenty of time. I'll go do other things first."
Zhou Qing left Jingyan Peak and headed straight for Gongde Peak. He had to prepare the five kinds of beast blood first.
Zhou Qing did not tell Lu Yuanyuan about either the temple that was rare in a decade or the matter of the beast blood.
Because this is inexplicable. Before the Hades Temple was born, you knew how to get the most benefit? It doesn't make sense.
So he simply didn't explain. After entering the temple and learning the truth, Zhou Qing would just take out the beast blood.
Why do I have these things, you ask? It's just a coincidence.
The blood of the five creatures mentioned in [Seeking Good Luck and Avoiding Misfortune] is relatively rare, but it does exist in Xuandu Temple.
Xuandu Temple is such a huge place with thousands of years of heritage. It is impossible that it has not encountered dragons and phoenixes.
After Zhou Qing arrived at the Hall of Merit, he exchanged some blood with contribution points.
Dragons, phoenixes, turtles and tigers are four very common creatures. The so-called golden armor is actually a kind of beast covered with golden scales, somewhat similar to a pangolin, but about the same size as a lion or tiger.
This is also a very powerful creature, but it is not uncommon.
The five kinds of beast blood that Zhou Qing exchanged were just ordinary blood, not essence blood or even original blood.
The golden finger prompts blood, there are no special requirements.
If it is essence blood or even original blood, then it would be very tricky. He definitely has the authority to exchange it, but whether he can get it together is a problem.
After completing the exchange, Zhou Qing took An Lang directly to the Shenhua Pool.
The Spirit Transformation Pool is inside the Ghost and God Mausoleum, but it is shrouded by a formation. In order to gather external forces, it also ensures that the internal forces do not dissipate and leak out. Therefore, if you do not have permission, you will not be able to see it even if you pass by, as it is obscured by the formation.
After greeting the old man guarding the tomb, Zhou Qing followed his instructions, entered the Tomb of Ghosts and Gods, and walked in one direction.
Then, in a relatively open area, an extremely simple stone house built of stones appeared in front of Zhou Qing.
About ten feet outside the stone house, there is a light curtain that separates the two areas.
An Lang looked around and said in surprise: "Sir, we came here last time, but we didn't see the stone house."
"This is a question of qualifications. Last time we didn't have the qualifications to enter the Spiritual Transformation Pool."
Xuandu Temple has its own set of rules regarding rewards, and there is a system for what kind of rewards should be given at what level.
A disciple would be given extra rewards based on his performance, but it would be impossible to give all the rewards to him at once.
In fact, sometimes rewards cannot be given out all at once. If you do that, people will not know how to cherish them, and there is a high possibility that there will be no rewards to be given later.
Of course, we must not be stingy.
It was unexpectedly spacious inside, but also extremely eerie.
In the center of the stone house is a long pool. The water in the pool is dark green, and the refraction of light makes the space inside the stone house somewhat unusual.
At the four corners of the pool, there are four statues of ghosts and gods standing, gazing at the pool.
An Lang muttered, "It looks a bit hellish."
Zhou Qing laughed. You are a ghost, and you have the nerve to say there is some underworld here.
Isn't the ghost the one in the underworld? "This Huashen Pond is a good place. Countless lonely ghosts have never heard of it, let alone enjoying it."
Zhou Qing said to An Lang: "You must seize this opportunity."
This is equivalent to a combination of Lidao Pool and Tianxia Snow Spring. It can not only build a perfect foundation, but also greatly advance your cultivation.
Compared with living creatures, ghosts and zombies are more special. As long as they have the right method, they can progress faster than normal creatures.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
But on the other hand, treasures suitable for their use are extremely rare, so it can be said that there are gains and losses.
An opportunity like the Spirit Transformation Pool is enough to allow a ghost to undergo a complete transformation, and it can be called a chance to change one's fate.
"Then I'll go in."
An Lang said something, then walked into the Spirit Transformation Pool.
Then, under the reflection of the pool water, her whole body turned green, looking miserable and gloomy.
There was a cushion placed inside the stone house. Zhou Qing observed An Lang for a while, then sat on the cushion and began his own practice.
During this process, wisps of light green gas also floated from the Spirit Transformation Pool towards Zhou Qing and were absorbed by him.
This is why the contracted monk must be present when the ghost is soaking in the Deification Pool.
An Lang absorbs the power in the Spirit Transformation Pool, but some of the pure soul power will also dissipate.
Because of An Lang's refining and the arrangement of the stone house formation, the ghost characteristics of this part of soul power have disappeared. It is very gentle and goes straight to the essence, which is very suitable for cultivators to absorb and is of great help to their cultivation.
Only when monks and ghosts are present at the same time can the power of the Spirit Transformation Pool be utilized most thoroughly.
The trip to the Shenhua Pool took much less time than Zhou Qing's trip to the Yinyang Cave. After only two days, Zhou Qing and An Lang left.
An Lang gained a lot. She had good talent to begin with, and was cultivated by Zhou Qing with various treasures. She then inherited the legacy of the Indigo Ghost Ancestor, and now she was building her foundation with the God Transformation Pool.
Now An Lang can be called a genius among ghosts.
With her level of cultivation, it would not be a problem for her to defeat an ordinary cultivator in the Manifestation of Sainthood.
An Lang excitedly shared her gains with Zhou Qing, saying that she was now extremely strong. Then she looked around and asked curiously, "Sir, this doesn't seem like we're going back to Kunlun Mountain. Where are we going now?"
"Xuandu Treasure Mountain."
Zhou Qing said: "I still have two chances to get treasures, I can't waste them, I plan to use them before going to Minggu Divine Mountain."
The Treasure Mountain is different from the Pure Land. The higher the cultivation level and the stronger the strength, the greater the possibility of obtaining higher quality treasures.
But Baoshan is different. It depends more on talent and fate.
Xiao Qi flew all the way and finally came to a group of mountains covered with rosy clouds and mist.
Some of the mountains here are majestic, some are steep, and some are short.
Some of the mountains are covered with lush vegetation, while others are covered with rocks. Occasionally, you can see sparkling lakes at the junction of the mountains.
Baoshan is not a mountain, but refers to this area! This is the place opened up by Xuandu Patriarch, specially used to store some treasures to reward others.
After entering the treasure mountain, every stone, tree, or even blade of grass you see may be a treasure put there by our ancestors.
However, this area is shrouded in formation restrictions, which causes the aura of the treasure to change and conceal its essence.
So many times, when you walk past a treasure, you may not know that you have encountered something good, and you will just think of it as an ordinary thing you passed by.
After entering the mountains, practitioners need to actively release their aura and even demonstrate their own methods.
If you keep this state, then if your aura can match and resonate with certain restrictions, the treasure will appear.
This is why it is said that treasure hunting in Baoshan depends mainly on fate.
Elder Qian and Zhou Qing talked about this treasure mountain in detail. The formations and restrictions on it are very special, and are unique in sensing aura and connecting and integrating. It can be said that they are restrictions specially prepared for practitioners to hunt for treasures.
Therefore, every disciple who comes to Baoshan to search for treasures may not necessarily obtain high-level treasures, but he or she will definitely get something that suits you.
And if after resonating with a certain restriction, you don’t want the treasure hidden in the restriction, or want to take another look at it, you can temporarily not take the treasure, and then continue walking in the treasure mountain to try to see if you can trigger resonance with other restrictions.
If you can find multiple treasures, then when you leave the mountain at the end, don't worry about the other treasures you don't want, just take out the ones you chose.
There is no one guarding the treasure mountain, it is only covered by formations.
Zhou Qing put An Lang and Xiao Qi away, then holding the true token, he walked directly towards the treasure mountain.
When passing a certain location, there is a feeling of passing through a membrane, and then a breath different from other places hits you.
He was now in a meadow, where a winding stream flowed from the mountains in the distance and then curved into a small lake.
Zhou Qing looked around. After passing through the formation, even if he entered the range of the treasure mountain, any place he passed by might hide treasures.
Release your own aura, revealing your soul and body, with strands of star power and majestic energy looming and mixing together.
The Immortal-Slaying Sword Intent, the Yin-Yang Earth Fire, including the aura of the wonderful tree and the Taibai Sword, were all transmitted to the outside world.
After fusing the sword embryo, Zhou Qing's future natal weapon can be basically determined, which is a secondary forging based on the Taibai Sword.
The Taibai Sword is now a real weapon. The sword embryo is extremely magical and is definitely top-notch. It will definitely be a good choice to use it to forge a real weapon in the future.
However, when it comes to that step, Zhou Qing still needs to find a skilled craftsman to deduce what materials and methods are best for casting.
No matter it is a divine weapon or a real weapon, a weapon recipe is required when it is refined for the first time. Miao Shu is unique, it is like this at the beginning, and it can automatically advance later as long as it is eaten. However, Zhou Qing's future natal real weapon cannot do this.
Zhou Qing even released An Lang. If there were any particularly high-end treasures that were very suitable for her, Zhou Qing would not hesitate to choose them.
However, of course, Zhou Qing’s needs will be given priority.
In this extroverted state, Zhou Qing and An Lang began to walk in the treasure mountain.
He hadn't taken a few steps when a special wave came from the left.
Lines appeared out of nowhere, light flickered, and then a seemingly ordinary green grass changed and turned into a red grass in the shape of a real dragon.
Zhou Qing was a little surprised, "Is the treasure revealed right away?"
Zhou Qing touched the dragon-shaped grass with his hand, and a ray of light shot towards his brows. He immediately knew the information about this treasure.
"Dragon Life Grass contains extremely strong vitality. It can replenish vitality and recover from injuries. It can extend the lifespan of Yin Shen Realm and True Blood Realm practitioners by ten years. It mostly grows in the nests of high-level dragons..."
Now Zhou Qing roughly understood why this Dragon Life Grass had a resonance with him.
"The treasure that prolongs life..."
Zhou Qing shook his head, showing no interest.
This kind of treasure must be very valuable, but Zhou Qing doesn't need it, and it is of no use to him.
Zhou Qing continued to move forward without picking the Dragon Life Grass.
The Dragon Life Grass will remain visible until he leaves Baoshan.
However, if he did not take the Dragon Life Grass away, then after he left, the location of this treasure would change and it would be transferred to another place by the formation to continue growing.
This will prevent you from telling others about the treasure and asking them to get it for you.
Along the way, every time Zhou Qing walked a short distance, treasures would appear, and the frequency was extremely high.
Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh, isn't it too easy to get gold coins?
The restrictions of Baoshan are quite friendly to Xuandu disciples. Treasures are given out easily and without any difficulty.
But what Zhou Qing didn't know was that the people who were secretly watching Baoshan were all stunned.
How come Zhou Qing could sense the restriction so easily? Could it be that the restriction was broken?
