Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Demons Appear
When Zhou Qing heard that Ling Fei was a disciple of Kunlun, his eyes lit up and he thought about it. The secret method of Kunlun cultivation was passed down from ancient times. If Zhou Qing got it, it would be very beneficial. People who practice Taoism are not immortal. Unless they have cultivated to the highest level of practicing spirit and returning to the void and reversed their physical body, they can live forever. Otherwise, even if they have cultivated to the stage of transformation of spirit, they can only live two or three hundred years longer.
But it is not easy to cultivate to the stage of returning to the void. In the past few hundred years, there have been many people who have reached the stage of transformation of spirit, but none of them have reached the stage of returning to the void. Unless there is a great adventure, it will take at least five hundred years to practice seriously. People are not like monsters. Although monsters are not immortal, their lifespan is at least ten times longer than that of humans.
Zhou Qing's lifelong wish is to break through to the state of returning to the void in his lifetime in order to achieve immortality. This is also the dream of every cultivator. People who practice Taoism are racing against time with God.
As for Shushan Sect, Zhou Qing didn't have a good impression of it, but had a grudge against it, so it was not good for him to get too close to Xu Jiankong. Because Zhou Qing had a lot of grudges with Shushan, although the other party didn't know it. But if he got too close, it would be difficult to fall out in the future. In addition, Shushan's sword cultivation was progressing a bit quickly, but it was not easy to break through later, and it was not a gradual way. Zhou Qing had lost interest.
During the conversation between the three, Zhou Qing also learned a lot about the cultivation world. For the first time, he had a complete understanding of the distribution of forces and sects in China's cultivation world. It can be said that he benefited a lot. When Ling Fei and Xu Jiankong asked about the situation of overseas independent cultivators, Zhou Qing evaded them with "We in Tiandao Sect are all in seclusion for cultivation and never interact with outsiders."
During the conversation, Zhou Qing intentionally or unintentionally revealed his appreciation for Kunlun Sect and his good impression of Ling Fei, saying that he must visit Kunlun Mountain. Seeing this, Xu Jiankong was secretly anxious, but Ling Fei was extremely happy: Our Kunlun's reputation is indeed better than Shushan. Even overseas casual cultivators know that Kunlun is a bit higher than Shushan. After all, all cultivators in the world come from the Chan and Jie sects. Naturally, they know the reputation of our Kunlun!
Xu Jiankong suddenly took out a token from his bosom and said, "Haha, Daoist Zhou! The elders of our Shushan have long admired the exquisiteness of Tiandao Sect's Taoism. Daoist Zhou may as well go to our Shushan to stay for a few days. Our two sects will discuss Taoism. Daoist Zhou has profound skills, and Xu Jiankong can ask for your advice. This is our Shushan token. Daoist Zhou wants to travel. Our Shushan disciples are all over the world. If Daoist Zhou has any problems, just show this token and our Shushan disciples can help. Although Daoist Zhou has profound cultivation, he has lived overseas for a long time and must be unfamiliar with worldly affairs. I hope Daoist Zhou will not delay!" Xu Jiankong handed over the token in his hand.
"You are not being polite for no reason, but you are not a thief!" Zhou Qing cursed in his heart. Seeing the two people's enthusiastic appearance, he knew that they had no good intentions. Although he didn't know what they were going to do, he vaguely knew that Xu Jiankong was trying to win him over. Zhou Qing had no good feelings towards Shushan, but fists don't hit smiling people, not to mention that the other party was giving gifts? Since he said he was an overseas cultivator, he should pretend to be more like one.
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu is too polite. Since you have invited me so kindly, I can't postpone it. I came to the mainland this time to do some small things. Once the mundane things are done, I will naturally go to Shushan for two days. The swordsmanship of Shushan is amazing. I just want to broaden my horizons and make it worthwhile to come to the Central Plains." Zhou Qing has melted into the role. Zhou Qing admires his acting skills: It turns out that I have a talent for acting. I don't know what thoughts are running through Zhou Qing's head! He took the palm-sized, silver-shining, and faintly flowing strange token with clouds and smoke. Zhou Qing's hand sank: Wow! I'm afraid it's not more than a hundred pounds, and it's made of black iron. Shushan is really a big family. The token has been made into a magic weapon.
The front of the token is engraved with the two big characters of Shushan, silver hook and iron painting, iron bones, but it is more domineering and less elegant than a sword fairy. On the back is a pair of crossed swords, one blue and one purple. Needless to say, they must be the magic weapons of Shushan, the Ziying Sword and the Qingsuo Sword. Zhou Qing is an expert in weapon training. After a quick look, Zhou Qing knew that this token is a small magic weapon. It contains a unique sword energy, which cannot be faked.
While Zhou Qing sighed at the generosity of Shushan, Ling Fei was anxious. Xu Jiankong gave the token, but he didn't have the same thing to give. Among the younger generation of Shushan disciples, Xu Jiankong has the highest cultivation level and is also the eldest brother. In recent years, the older generation has been in seclusion and practicing. The head of Shushan has handed over most of the mundane affairs to him, with the intention of passing on the throne. It can be said that Xu Jiankong's status in Shushan is second only to the head. He can basically make the decision on all matters, big or small. As long as Xu Jiankong breaks through to the Spiritualization Stage, it is not impossible for the Qingxu Taoist of Shushan to pass on his position immediately.
Ling Fei's status in Kunlun is not as high as Xu Jiankong's. There is also Yiyunzi above him. Besides, Kunlun has a lot of uncles. Even if he wants to pass on his position, the position of the head will never fall on Ling Fei. If there is anything, he can ask the master and uncle for help, but it is not his turn to make the decision on Kunlun's affairs.
As soon as Xu Jiankong made this move, Ling Fei had nowhere to use all his strength. He was very anxious: If Zhou Qing was pulled over by Shushan, he would really have no room for turning over. With the help of the master of the Spiritualization Stage, Xiang Hui would be even more powerful. Killing a few monsters in the late stage of Qi Induction casually would be a great achievement. By then, his status would be stable and it would be difficult to overthrow him.
Zhou Qing looked at him like that, and he knew what Ling Fei was thinking. He still had to get the Kunlun spell from him! How could he let this fool go. At that moment, the three of them talked for a while and agreed with Ling Fei and Xu Jiankong that once the matter was done, they would go to Shushan and Ling Fei's family as guests. Seeing that the sky was getting light, Zhou Qing hurriedly said goodbye and turned into a clear light and flew into the sky. Seeing that the main person had left, Xu Jiankong and Ling Fei no longer had the idea of fighting to the death. After a few polite words, the two sides scattered like birds and beasts.
Although Xu Jiankong was not satisfied that Zhou Qing had agreed to Ling Fei, he changed his mind and thought that this matter could not be rushed. As long as Zhou Qing arrived in Shushan, it would not be too late to keep him, but he must not let him make friends with Kunlun. The masters of the Spiritualization Stage are not made of mud. There are as many as you want. In the entire Chinese Taoist sect, there are only dozens of them, including the older generation. Such a good relationship was formed today, and it will definitely be good in the future.
The vast ocean is vast and boundless. Sometimes it is calm, sunny, blue sea and blue sky, seagulls flying, whales out of water, it is really a fairy painting. Sometimes it is overcast and foggy, and you can't see your fingers. Then the waves surge, the turbid waves empty, lightning and thunder, and there is no life. In the blink of an eye, it is a hellish scene. Infinite variables, even in today's scientifically developed world, human beings are willing but unable to explore the secrets of the ocean. After all, human power is limited, and the power of nature is infinite.
In the center of the Pacific Ocean, there is a sea area of hundreds of miles in radius, which is shrouded in thick fog all year round. No objects can be seen. Even fleets passing by will disappear for no reason. The governments of several countries where ships have crashed have also sent people to investigate, but the thick fog is too strange, and no scientific instruments can detect the phenomena inside. People get dizzy when they enter, and can't find the east, south, west, north, and can't detect the movement inside. Over time, some scientists explained why it was caused by the earth's magnetic field and cosmic rays, and no one paid attention to it.
But at this moment, a tiny blood light rushed down from the sky and landed on the sea surface. It stepped on the rolling waves and revealed its figure. Who else could it be but the Tianxuan Blood Demon that Zhou Qing encountered in the Monster Alliance?
