Zhou Qing and his three companions, along with a Huangquan Realm expert from the Shi family, left Minggu County together.

This person was not here specifically to escort Zhou Qing and the others, but was going to visit a friend at Xuandu Temple and just happened to be able to take them with him.

【Seek good fortune and avoid misfortune】The calculation is really accurate.

Because the Golden Holy Fruit King is one of the treasures that can help Zhou Qing cross the border and cultivate a minor combat body, it was natural for them to stay in the Shi family for ten days.

This precious tree bears fruit once every ten years, but the Shi family has a special method to speed up its maturity, and in each batch of ripe fruits, there will only be one king of fruits.

With the help of Shi Yi, Zhou Qing successfully exchanged this fruit king with the Shi family. In the future, as long as he finds another treasure, he will have the opportunity to cultivate a minor combat body in the marrow cleansing realm.

The reason why I say opportunity is because a minor combat body also requires various resources, and you have to find them all before you can practice.

On the way, Zhou Qing looked down at the earth, trying to see if there were any suspicious people, but unfortunately he found nothing.

It's true that people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat...

Zhou Qing sighed inwardly, but he was not panicked or frightened.

How to say it, there are so many people in the world who want to kill the ten true disciples of Xuan Du.

Like the barbarians and the demon sect, as long as there is an opportunity, they are definitely willing to take action and kill the true disciples of Xuandu Temple.

This is true even for other forces within the human race.

Therefore, Zhou Qing’s treatment is actually normal and not surprising.

No matter where the people who wanted to kill him this time came from and for what reason, Zhou Qing had already prepared himself mentally when he became the true disciple of Xuan Du.

There are countless people like Murong Yanran and even Dugu who secretly want to kill them. This is not something that Zhou Qing has to experience alone.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

Just be careful and don't give others any chances.

Traveling with a master from the Huangquan Realm, the speed was naturally very fast, and soon the Xuanfa Mountains were visible in the distance.

"Junior brother, I'll contact you later."

"Brother, you can always come to me if you need anything."

“…”

The four of them said goodbye to each other and went home.

Kunlun Mountains.

An Lang was fiddling with something under a spiritual plant. When he saw Zhou Qing, he shouted happily:

"Sir, you're back!"

Zhou Qing did not take her to the Minggu Divine Mountain. There was no need for that. It would be better to let her stay here and practice well.

Glancing at An Lang, Zhou Qing asked:

"What are you doing?"

"The rhizome of this spiritual plant is a very good auxiliary material for refining medicine. I'll cut some."

"Then you do it."

Zhou Qing didn't say much. An Lang could use anything on Kunlun Mountain. He just needed to take some roots and rhizomes of the spiritual plants.

She knew what she was doing and would not harm the spiritual plants.

However, An Lang immediately put down what he was doing and came over.

"Sir, how was your outing this time? Was there anything interesting?"

Zhou Qing tapped An Lang's head and said, "I'm going on an adventure, not an outing. What interesting things can there be?"

"I heard from Sister Lu that you had already come out of Mingu Divine Mountain."

An Lang looked as if to say, "Don't try to trick me."

You came back ten days after leaving the Dark Ancient Mountain, and you still said you weren't out having fun! "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask."

Zhou Qing threw An Lang back to the spiritual plant and went to find Lu Qingmo alone.

"You're back?"

"Well, there is a Golden Holy Fruit King at the Shi family, which is useful for me to cultivate the original combat body, so I stayed there for a few more days."

Zhou Qing explained casually, looking at Lu Qingmo, and saw something.

"Congratulations Aunt Mo for embarking on the path of martial arts. I'm afraid you'll be able to ascend to immortality through both paths in the future."

At this time, Lu Qingmo's body had already reached the realm of flesh and skin. He had entered the path of martial arts, and his attainments in the realm of flesh and skin were not low.

She has already accepted the inheritance of the secret item from Xuandu Temple. During this period, in addition to comprehending the Yellow Springs, she also used her spare time to practice martial arts.

It can be said that it has been smooth sailing and rapid progress.

Lu Qingmo smiled and said, "You are the only one who can say it."

"I'm telling the truth." Zhou Qing added:

"Aunt Mo, I feel like someone wants to harm me!"

Lu Qingmo's eyes narrowed and he asked seriously:

"Who wants to harm you? What news have you received?"

"I didn't get any news, but I had a feeling, like my intuition was warning me." Zhou Qing said, "Ten days ago, when I left Minggu Divine Mountain and was about to return to Xuandu Temple, I vaguely felt that there seemed to be some danger waiting for me on the way back."

Intuition, it’s all intuition.

"intuition……"

Lu Qingmo pondered for a moment and didn't think Zhou Qing was making things up.

"You are too popular now, and you have too many secrets. There are indeed many people coveting you, both inside and outside Xuandu Temple."

Such things are understandable.

But understanding is one thing, and there is actually no particularly good way to prevent it, because even if you defend against Zhang San's covetousness, there will still be the malicious intent of Li San and Wang Er.

Unless you are a complete mediocrity with no value at all, no one will pay attention to you.

Or maybe like the Suzhen saints of all generations, who are always protected by the power of immortal weapons, then naturally there is nothing to worry about.

But in the whole world, only the Suzhen Palace family has such a special situation.

Lu Qingmo said: "I will talk to Master about this."

Zhou Qing nodded. This was all he could do.

"By the way, Aunt Mo, I also killed three people from the Impermanence Temple in the Dark Ancient Temple this time, but I don't know their identities."

"You're not hurt?"

"No, just a few little devils."

Zhou Qing had already counted the relics of the three cultivators of the Impermanence Hall and the Two-Headed Dog Beast Lord within these ten days.

Although there were quite a few things, none of them combined were as valuable as the phoenix feather. Those trophies had no direct effect on Zhou Qing himself.

However, he is now cultivating a primitive combat body that can stably swallow gold. It would be a good choice to exchange these spoils for treasures needed to cultivate the combat body.

He took out the phoenix feather and looked at it, then discussed with Lu Qingmo where it would be best to use this treasure.

In fact, if possible, this treasure is a good choice to use on the Tianji Phoenix Wings.

After all, the Tianji Phoenix Wing is only a semi-finished product. In addition to Zhou Qing's increased strength which will cause it to change, it can also be enhanced by other treasures.

In other words, if one wants to achieve the fastest speed in the world when reaching the Biluo Tongtian realm, it is basically impossible to do it by oneself, and one must use various precious treasures to have a chance.

After a while, Lu Qingmo remembered something and said with a smile:

"Just yesterday, the new Hanzhou Dragon Ranking was released."

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up. It was time for him to become famous, right?

"Which one am I in?"

Lu Qingmo took out a list and handed it to Zhou Qing, who immediately opened it and read it.

The top three are still the same Dugu trio, with no changes.

But the former fourth place has now fallen to fifth place, and the former fifth place has risen, but neither of these two positions is human.

Zhou Qing's eyes moved across the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, and saw Murong Yanran, who was ranked tenth, and...

The eighteenth self.

Murong Yanran is the sixth true disciple, and Zhou Qing is the ninth, a difference of three places.

However, there is a gap of eight places on the Dragon List, which is normal. After all, this is a list of all forces and races in Hanzhou and nearby states and counties.

The eighteenth place was obtained by replacing Su Wang.

Zhou Qing actually doesn't care much about rankings. With his speed of practice, such rankings are not immediate, so there is no point in caring about them.

He only cares about the title!

[Dragon Ranking No. 18, Fiery Star God Zhou Qing, the ninth true disciple of Xuandu Temple, in the middle stage of Manifestation of Sainthood, just beginning to enter the marrow cleansing stage. Reason for being on the list: in the battle for the position of the true disciple of Xuandu Temple, he defeated the former ninth true disciple Su Wang, and is good at...]

"Flame Star God..."

Zhou Qing repeated the title. It really embodied a lot of things. Compared with the Fire Dragon that was ranked first on the Dao Ranking, this title was indeed better.

He couldn't say he was satisfied, because this title still didn't fit the style and painting style he wanted, but being able to get rid of the title of Fire Dragon was already a good thing.

Everything is afraid of comparison...

This is just the first step. Sooner or later, I will make this title become more ethereal!

"As this issue of the Dragon and Tiger Ranking is released in all counties of Hanzhou, your reputation will become known to almost everyone in a short period of time."

Lu Qingmo smiled and said, "You must be prepared to become famous."

Zhou Qing also laughed and put away the Dragon and Tiger List.

“Always be prepared.”

This is indeed the case.

Every genius who suddenly rises always attracts a lot of attention and is the topic of conversation for a long time afterwards.

There was an endless stream of discussion about him, heard in every place in Hanzhou.

His name has been mentioned countless times and has been pondered over and over by many people.

If he has a cheat code related to reputation, then there will probably be a prompt like this:

Reputation +1+1+1...

If he had a golden finger for collecting emotions, it would be like this:

Worship +1...

Jealousy +1...

After looking at Lu Qingmo, Zhou Qing smiled and said:

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

"Aunt Mo, I'm here to help you practice!"

He really wanted to help Lu Qingmo with his practice. After all, he had been away for so many days and the use of the Yellow Springs Dragon had stopped.

After sending Lu Qingmo to the underworld, Zhou Qing took out the puppet he got from the ancient temple of the underworld.

It's time to fix it too.

Zhou Qing took out the power of the puppet god and sent it into the puppet.

[Special Item: Power of the Puppet God]

[A puppet treasure. After the puppet is fused, it will directly recognize you as its master and will no longer be able to change its master. The puppet can evolve and have deeper potential, making it easier to advance in the future. At the same time, it will immediately raise a small realm. If the puppet is damaged, the fusion of this power can repair all damage.]

This is the use of the power of the puppet god.

This Golden Sun Divine Puppet possesses great potential in itself, and with the added power of the Puppet God, its future is bound to be bright.

However, the power of the puppet god, which can instantly improve one's realm by a small amount, is unlikely to work on the Golden Sun Divine Puppet.

In other words, it is impossible to fully display it.

This treasure was not dropped during the last day of the reward bonus period. So with Zhou Qing's highest level of sainthood, it was obviously impossible for him to drop a treasure that could help the puppet evolve directly from the True Blood Realm to the Earth Realm.

However, even if it is not possible to improve a small realm, it would be good to improve the puppet's strength.

The Golden Sun Divine Puppet was covered by the power of the Puppet God. Zhou Qing could see that the damaged parts were recovering quickly under the power of the Puppet God, and the puppet's aura was also changing. There were more fundamental changes taking place simultaneously.

After the power of the puppet god entered the Golden Yang Divine Puppet, Zhou Qing immediately established contact with the puppet and had absolute control over it.

A strong light emanated from the puppet, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

As time passed, the damage on the Golden Sun Divine Puppet had been completely restored and it returned to its perfect state.

The power of the puppet god was completely integrated into the puppet, bringing mysterious changes to it.

"call!"

The puppet, which was originally lying on the ground, suddenly stood up, making a whistling sound.

At this time, the color of the puppet changed. It was originally bright gold, but now it has become a deep black. Instead, the gap between the eyebrows has turned gold, and the five spirit patterns on the limbs and torso have become more complete and mysterious.

Zhou Qing sensed the situation of the puppet and smiled happily.

"What a treasure, what a puppet. From now on I will call you... Six Spirit Puppet."

The name Jinyang Divine Puppet is obviously not suitable for today's puppets. Combining the five spirits and the evil spirit, the name Six Spirit Puppet is just right.

If it weren’t for his lack of strength, Zhou Qing would have wanted to just call them the Six Sacred Puppets.

The Six Spirit Puppets did not evolve to the Earth-Clearing Realm, which was within Zhou Qing's expectations.

However, it already has the foundation of the Three Refinings of True Blood, and its strength has indeed improved after integrating the power of the Puppet God.

It is probably an improvement from the normal three refinements of true blood to the level where all aspects have reached the limit of true blood and is only one step away from the thorough realm.

It can be said that he is the top puppet at this level. In other words, he is the genius among puppets.

After being baptized by the Five Saints' Evil-Slaying Array, the Six Spirit Puppets also possessed special abilities, each of which was related to the five spirits.

The slit between its eyebrows is actually its third eye, which contains extraordinary power.

The pair of iron wings behind it are not just for decoration, they can support it to fly.

Even though this is just a puppet, its many experiences have given it several magical powers.

Zhou Qing was very satisfied with the Six Spirit Puppet. It had iron wings that allowed it to fly and possessed several magical powers. This puppet was far superior to those ordinary iron puppets that could only punch and kick.

Such puppets are too dull. Although they are powerful, they are actually not difficult to deal with.

To be honest, after having the Six Spirit Puppets, he is no longer afraid of attacks from a single Venerable. He can fully cope with it and even kill the opponent.

Even if multiple venerables attacked and killed him, there was still room for maneuver under the Six Spirit Puppets.

With the Six Extreme Warships and the Six Spirit Puppets, his self-preservation ability is now terrifyingly strong. As long as he does not encounter a master at the Huangquan Chedi realm, his life will be very safe.

When Lu Qingmo came back from the underworld, she saw the majestic Six Spirit Puppets.

"Is this the puppet you got from the Dark Ancient God Mountain?"

"Yes, it's very powerful, called the Six Spirit Puppets."

Lu Qingmo nodded, "I feel it. The power of this puppet is terrifying. I'm afraid it's only a little distance away from being a ground puppet. You can ask Junior Brother Song to help you carefully identify it and see what level this puppet is at."

"It's really a great opportunity that you can get a puppet of this level."

"It was already broken when I got it." Zhou Qing shook his head.

"I used a treasure to repair it and improve it to this strength."

Lu Qingmo thought thoughtfully, "No wonder you suddenly want to find a puppet with great potential."

She was not surprised by the endless variety of treasures on Zhou Qing's body and was quite accepting of it.

"Aunt Mo, after practicing martial arts, you seem to be more energetic."

"That's right. Physical martial arts do have a supplementary effect on the soul."

"Yeah, your hands are so soft."

“…”

Start practicing! After returning to Kunlun Mountain, the days immediately became much more comfortable. There was no such solemn atmosphere as in Minggu Mountain.

Because he had the original combat body to cultivate, Zhou Qingruo had been practicing hard in Kunlun Mountain when he had nothing important to do. It was a very leisurely life.

You have to master the Tianwu skills you have obtained, otherwise it would be a waste.

Five days later.

Zhou Qing's true token responded, and after a mental probe, he received a message.

Go to the Zhenchuan Palace as soon as possible.

"What else?"

Zhou Qing thought to himself, but did not delay and left with Xiao Qi.

Zhou Qing also learned a lot of things during his communication with Murong Yanran and others.

Events like the Zhenchuan Palace summons happen a few times every year, and sometimes even every month.

In Xuandu Temple, there are quite a few things that are suitable and need to be done by true disciples.

When you arrive outside the Zhenchuan Palace, you can also see other cranes flying from afar.

"Brother Zhou."

“…”

After Zhou Qing approached the others, he began to be addressed as senior brother one after another, and Zhou Qing nodded in response one by one.

After entering the Zhenchuan Palace, Zhou Qing's eyes first fell on the last row.

I still remember that the last time all the true disciples gathered in the True Disciple Palace, he was still sitting in the last seat.

At the same time, after he arrived at the True Transmission Palace, few people greeted him and not many people knew him. Everyone was examining him as the new True Transmission. Although nothing could be seen on the surface, there must be not many people who really valued him.

Now, several months have passed, and when he meets the true disciples again, he is already the ninth true disciple. Except for the first eight people, the others are all his junior brothers.

Everyone knows him, and he has great power. His position has moved from the last row to the front.

Nothing is more unpredictable than this, which makes people feel sad.

Most of the original ambitions have now been achieved.

After smiling slightly, Zhou Qing walked straight to the third row and sat down in the ninth true disciple's seat.

The scenery here is completely different from the last row.

Not to mention anything else, just looking forward, it's not like the last row, which is full of densely packed heads, all backs of the heads.

In this position, only three people can show him the back of his head! Qian Lao was already on the high platform in front. He glanced at Zhou Qing and nodded to him.

Soon, other people also arrived at the Zhenchuan Palace one after another, but what surprised Zhou Qing was that Dugu and the other two had not shown up.

When Master Qian saw that most people had arrived, he said, "Everyone is here."

After a pause, he explained:

"I didn't inform Dugu and the other three. They don't need to be involved in this matter."

I see.

Then Elder Qian continued, "This time I am looking for you because of the unusual movements of the barbarians at the border. I need you to lead a group of inner and outer disciples to go there."

"Of course, the masters in the temple will go with you. Just follow the temple's instructions on what to do when you arrive at the border."

"You don't need to go all out for this. Six people will be enough. Those who are interested can apply. If no one applies, I will assign them."

Border?
