The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 115: Back off, back off... Ga ga ga... (6k)

This time, Zhou Qing fell in the second wave again. There were ten wandering souls in the late Jindan realm, which made him panic.

If it weren't for the exponentially increased gravity that restricted his movements, and the "Cang Lei Sword Technique" that restrained evil creatures, even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't be in such a mess.

Especially the Flame Spirit Blood Paste he absorbed in the past half month, which increased his cultivation again, and made those wandering souls seem to be improved accordingly.

“It’s a bit difficult!”

Zhou Qing, lying on the bed, sighed. Thirty medium-grade spirit stones were just wasted without any sound.

"It would be great if the ignore points could be refreshed more often, so the chances of being ignored would be much higher."

However, now that I am in the sect, I have become a "useless person" and lack the opportunity to brush up on points.

Two days later, Yan Xiaohu ran over excitedly, holding the old hen.

"Fourth Brother, come to my place, I have something good to show you!" Yan Xiaohu looked excited.

Without waiting for Zhou Qing to refuse, Yan Xiaohu pulled him and hurried towards his residence.

"Do you have a crush on someone recently?"

After landing from the flying sword, Zhou Qing looked around Yan Xiaohu's courtyard. Originally, he urinated everywhere, and was always angry, making the surrounding area look like a Gobi Desert, but now it is actually shaded by green trees.

Although it is small, it is at least a good phenomenon.

Yan Xiaohu curled his lips and said, "Women will only affect the speed of my sword drawing. But I have to say that you are very observant. In fact, I have dug a secret base."

After saying that, Yan Xiaohu opened the barrier of the yard and quickly pulled Zhou Qing in. Then he poked his head out stealthily, and after making sure that no one was following him, he quickly closed the door.

"Here here!"

After entering, Yan Xiaohu put the old hen aside and slowly moved a water tank.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound from the ground, and then layers of stairs began to appear.

Zhou Qing looked puzzled.

Yan Xiaohu grinned and said, "Remember that black market in Lingyun Mansion? I got the inspiration from there. I've built a huge secret room underneath. To prevent anyone from noticing, I planted trees outside to hide it."

Afterwards, Zhou Qing followed curiously and walked down little by little.

"You won't bite my kidney, will you?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but speak as he looked at the darkness in front of him.

Yan Xiaohu didn't answer, but snapped his fingers, and the entire secret room instantly became bright.

I have to say, it is indeed quite large inside, paved with huge blue bricks. It seems to be at least a kilometer long.

"When did you dig it?" Zhou Qing exclaimed in admiration.

Yan Xiaohu said: "It won't take long. After all, your senior brother is at the Nascent Soul stage. By the way, you are the first person to come to my secret room. If I am not at home in the future, I will probably be here."

"No, why did you build this place?" Zhou Qing felt that his third senior brother was about to take off his pants and fart.

You are not afraid of being assassinated by others, so do you want to keep a mistress in a golden house when you get this thing?
Facing Zhou Qing's question, Yan Xiaohu said seriously, "Aren't you an ordinary person now? Sometimes when you practice certain magical powers, you might be seen by others. It's better to be here. You can practice as much as you want without anyone noticing."

"Besides, I have specially reinforced the soundproofing array and other things outside, so no one will find out."

Hearing Yan Xiaohu's words, Zhou Qing was startled, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red. Yan Xiaohu turned around and continued: "I have the Infant Fire now, and refining things is a bit dangerous, so I have been digging this place for a long time."

"When I went to Lingyun Mansion before, I had already dug half of it. I thought I would find the ingredients for the elixir and refine it quietly here. I didn't expect to find it ready-made. See that cushion? That's where I achieved my Nascent Soul breakthrough."

As Yan Xiaohu pointed, Zhou Qing couldn't help but wipe back her tears of emotion.

I thought it was specially made for me, but it turns out it was just a by-product.

"By the way, the main reason I came to see you this time is for this!"

Soon, Yan Xiaohu excitedly slapped his storage bag, and then a big drum that was two people tall appeared.

The drum body is a deep dark purple in color, and its texture is neither gold nor wood. It looks like it is made up of layers of scales from some ancient monster, and each scale gleams with a cold luster.

In addition, there is a pair of pitch-black drumsticks placed on the drum surface. Judging from their shapes, they seem to be forged from the humerus of some powerful monster.

"What is this?" Zhou Qing touched it in amazement.

Yan Xiaohu looked very proud.

"Some time ago, I gave Lao Mo a piece of top-grade spirit stone and asked him to help me find some suitable and powerful skills. It just so happened that the exchange hall had a treasure at the bottom of the box, so Lao Mo exchanged it for me. This is it!"

Yan Xiaohu leaned against the drum and held up three fingers. "This drum is called the retreat drum, and it's worth three thousand mid-grade spirit stones. The only drawback is that it requires two people to use it..."

"Wait, what's its name?" Zhou Qing stopped talking.

Yan Xiaohu was a little embarrassed, but still said, "Back off, don't underestimate its name. Once this thing strikes, the ripples it creates will immediately slow down anyone approaching us, like a mud cow entering a pond, just like a gravity zone."

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up. This is great!

"What does it mean for two people to use it?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

Yan Xiaohu immediately took out a manual and said, "Look, this is the mantra of the mental method. One person beats the drum to slow down the enemy, while the other person uses the corresponding mantra to activate these ripples, forming an extremely sharp spiritual blade to kill the enemy. Both are indispensable."

Zhou Qing suddenly understood.

"So, Senior Brother immediately thought of you. If we had this thing, we wouldn't be in such a mess when we were being chased by Qian Dafu and his men. Okay, hurry up and practice. I'll beat the drum and you shout."

Yan Xiaohu picked up the drumstick and said.

Zhou Qing looked at the formula and immediately shook his head. He felt a little embarrassed.

"Let me play the drums, you shout!" Zhou Qing grabbed the drumstick.

Yan Xiaohu snorted and said, "I knew you were shy. Luckily, I'm familiar with the formula."

After he finished speaking, he released the wooden men one by one, and under the control of spiritual power, they began to move towards the two of them little by little.

Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and as his spiritual power began to circulate, the drumstick suddenly emitted a bright light, and then he swung it down violently.

With a loud "bang", the retreat drum instantly made the first sound that shook the world.

The drum surface vibrated violently, and circles of dazzling ripples spread out in all directions like a surging river.

These ripples are colorful, red like fire, blue like the deep sea, and purple like nebulae. Each one is like a nimble snake, swooping down towards the wooden men.

The wooden man's movements suddenly became extremely slow, and at this moment Yan Xiaohu leaned forward, his legs slightly bent, and his eyes widened.

His right hand was raised high, with his five fingers tightly pressed together and spread out to the left and right, as if he was constantly making some kind of hand seal.

Then he took a step forward, gathered his spiritual power in his throat, and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat..."

Each word "retreat" instantly turned into a materialized sound wave and entered the ripples.

And the ripples seemed to resonate with it, and suddenly turned into many sharp blades, cutting the wooden men madly.

Zhou Qing's face twitched. This was why he would rather beat the drum than shout.

But it must be said that those spiritual blades are very sharp and extremely fast.

"What are you standing there for? Get moving!"

Seeing Zhou Qing in a daze, Yan Xiaohu shouted hurriedly.

He had to determine how long the two of them could last.

After hearing this, Zhou Qing came to his senses immediately. He tensed the muscles in his arms and used all his strength to swing the drumstick continuously, hitting the drum surface hard.

"Dong dong dong..."

The deafening drumbeats exploded like thunder, and each beat seemed to shatter the surrounding air.

As the drumstick fell again and again, Zhou Qing could clearly feel the spiritual power in his body being drawn out like strands of silk, flowing along his arms to the drumstick, and then injected into the retreat drum.

Yan Xiaohu, standing aside, stomped his feet on the ground like a war drum, his face flushed red, veins popping out on his neck, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat..."

…………

When Zhou Qing crawled out of the secret room with trembling arms, he felt like he was about to collapse.

"I've never done such a lot of exercise before. I feel like eating will be a problem in the next few days." Zhou Qing leaned against the wall, his arms drooping limply.

Yan Xiaohu's forehead was covered in sweat, and he said in a hoarse and sharp voice: "No... The effect today... is great..."

Zhou Qing stopped talking quickly, saying that even ducks quack more beautifully than you do now.

"I know, I know. You should take a rest. I'll go back first!" Zhou Qing said, then stood up and left as if escaping.

Yan Xiaohu hurried behind him, his face flushed, and said in a shrill voice: "Remember...tomorrow...ha..."

Zhou Qing was speechless and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Do you think my arm can heal overnight?
I have more important things to do now. I have to get the No. 1 and No. 3 Flame Spirit Blood Ointments as soon as possible to accumulate energy for a breakthrough.

As soon as I returned to the residence, I saw Lu Yaoyao standing there. Besides her, there was also Li Daoxuan standing straight.

No, my eldest senior brother has gone out to comprehend the artistic conception and become a spirit. After all, you are the eldest disciple of the master teacher, so why do you stay at home like a follower all day long, guarding your junior sister?

Isn't that a bit too hopeless?
When Lu Yaoyao saw Zhou Qing staggering back with his limp arms swinging, she was startled and hurried forward.

"Senior Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Lu Yaoyao asked anxiously.

Zhou Qing shook his head: "It's okay, I just don't feel any sensation at the moment, I just need to rest. What's wrong with you guys?"

Lu Yaoyao reached out and touched it, and after confirming that her arm was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said, "It's nothing serious. I just came over to visit. I wanted to invite you to go fishing in the back mountain, but now seeing you like this..."

Lu Yaoyao hesitated to speak.

Zhou Qingze looked at her meaningfully.

Last time, he just asked about the location of the No. 1 Flame Spirit Blood Pool, and she immediately drew the entire map and direction. She even excitedly guessed that he was going to do something to her, said she could help him, and even left the paper crane for transmission of messages.

It's only been five days since I last contacted her, but she couldn't help it anymore.

Was this a special opportunity created for him? And it just happened to be over there in the back mountain.

Li Daoxuan no longer felt jealous of a mortal like him. The three words "Poor Man" blazing above his head were still eye-catching. He said, "Yes, fishing is the best way to calm your mind. You've been bored at home lately, so you could go for a walk."

"It's a pity that there is no Ice Soul Ghost Scale Fish, otherwise it would be really exciting," Zhou Qing said.

Speaking of this, Li Daoxuan said, "Come to think of it, I still don't know who caught the other two Ice Soul Ghost Scale Fish. It's really strange."

Lu Yaoyao's eyes turned and she said, "Perhaps, we can organize a fishing competition?"

Zhou Qing was stunned.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. Everyone is so busy nowadays, who is willing to accompany you fishing?

Moreover, even if ordinary fishing forces everyone to gather together, it is impossible to create a multi-person and exciting environment for them, and they cannot refresh the ignore points.

Now that he is such a useless person, maybe everyone is constantly using their spiritual power to drive the fish to him to make him happy, and even paying attention to him all the time.

Not interesting!
"Forget it. I don't have the strength to lift my arms now. It will probably take me two days to recover. How about coming in and having a cup of tea?" Zhou Qing invited.

Lu Yaoyao was about to agree when Li Daoxuan gently pulled her back. He then said with a smile, "No, then Junior Brother Zhou, you can rest first. We won't disturb you. Come to Shenyue Peak when you have time."

"Senior Brother, how can we come here and not go in?" After coming out, Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but speak.

Isn't this a bit too disrespectful?

Li Daoxuan said, "I smell a strong odor of sweat on him. Plus, his arms are so weak, and he just came back from outside. If I'm guessing correctly, he should have started to practice physical training."

"Body training?" Lu Yaoyao's eyes suddenly lit up.

In other words, he picked himself up and started to take another path?
Could it be that because the Supreme Elder had him soak in the No. 2 Flame Spirit Blood Pool, he regained his confidence?
Li Daoxuan smiled and nodded, "Yeah, right now when he gets home what he wants most is to lie down on his bed and take a deep sleep, or take a good bath before going to bed. You said he has to accompany us when we go in, how tactless of him."

After hearing this, Lu Yaoyao looked embarrassed.

She really hadn't expected this.

"Why don't I smell any sweat? Senior Brother, is your nose the same as Senior Brother Zhou's now?" Lu Yaoyao said with a smile.

Li Daoxuan was speechless: "I am who I am. I don't compare myself with anyone. Let's go."

Then the two of them left Xiaoling Peak.

Just as Li Daoxuan guessed, Zhou Qing wanted to take a shower when he returned to bed, but his arms were so sore and weak that he really couldn't use any strength at all. He just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

It took him three full days to recover.

"This backing out is really exhausting. I wonder how Third Brother's voice is doing?"

Zhou Qing muttered to himself for a while, but then again, the thing was indeed a good thing. The speed of all people or objects within the drum wave was greatly slowed down, including various weapons.

It was like forming an independent field, and only the ripple blade formed by the third senior brother's "retreat, retreat, retreat" could remain unaffected by it.

"Perhaps I can indeed look for Lu Yaoyao. She is now in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and there is a 90% chance that she can ignore me. But there are only two people in total, and one of them is of the opposite sex. As long as you are not a fool, you will always remember that there is someone around."

Zhou Qing scratched his head.

If there were people like Li Daoxuan and He Han in the Nascent Soul stage, it goes without saying that they would definitely stare at him intently.

"Unless, she is not at home!" Zhou Qing's eyes lit up instantly.

Then, he took out the paper crane and used it to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

I took a look at the almanac first. Hmm, it’s easy to travel today.

He left as soon as he said he would. Just as he went out and was about to look for Niu Guangmo, he saw Yan Xiaohu coming.

"Third senior brother, it's just right that you take me to Shenyue Peak!" Zhou Qing said hurriedly.

Yan Xiaohu said: "What are you doing...haha...your hand...haha..."

Zhou Qing's face twitched involuntarily, and he said, "Your throat isn't healed yet?"

"It's hurt...haha...my throat..." Yan Xiaohu pointed to his neck.

Zhou Qing understood and quickly signaled him to speak less.

"You said you just started practicing, why are you exerting so much effort? Why don't you go to the exchange hall and see if there are any throat-clearing pills or something like that to treat your throat," Zhou Qing suggested.

Yan Xiaohu immediately shook his head: "No...ah...money."

Zhou Qing: "..."

It seems so. Ever since Zhang Wanbao brought over two Infant-forming Pills, the two of them gave each other almost all the money they had as a partial settlement, including some herbs they had purchased for refining the Infant-forming Pills.

After all, it’s better to owe as little favor as possible.

Afterwards, they each got two top-grade spirit stones. The third senior brother used one when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, and the remaining one was given to the master in exchange for a skill suitable for himself, including the retreat technique.

So, Third Senior Brother is now completely penniless.

"Wait, are you here to borrow money from me?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask.

Yan Xiaohu immediately looked embarrassed. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Zhou Qing quickly raised his hand and said, "I only have those two pills. I've almost absorbed one, and the other one is very useful."

The energy required for the two pills is too much. Now I have to take the risk of sneaking into the territory of the Supreme Elder to get the Flame Spirit Blood Paste for my own accumulation. I don’t have any spare money.

Yan Xiaohu felt lost.

It seems that it is time for him to return to the underworld and make money with his eight brothers.

Not long after, Yan Xiaohu and Zhou Qing landed from the flying sword and left in a hurry.

Looking at the mission hall with people coming and going in front of him, Zhou Qing quietly came to a secluded place. After making sure that no one was paying attention, he took out a paper crane and began to speak.

"Junior Sister Lu, are you free today? I have something to talk to you about." After saying that, the paper crane flapped its wings and left.

Time passed little by little, and soon the paper crane flew back. Lu Yaoyao's happy voice came from inside: "Yes, yes, yes, of course, Brother Zhou, please wait a moment, I'll be right over."

It can be heard that the girl is very happy, which makes Zhou Qing feel a little ashamed.

"If the quantity is large, I'll give you one piece as compensation!" Zhou Qing said.

Afterwards, he came to the entrance to the inner mountain of Shenyue Peak and hid quietly until he saw Lu Yaoyao flying away on a sword. Then he walked over and registered.

The registered disciple didn't even ask Zhou Qing what he was doing there, but just looked at him with sympathy.

It's such a pity that such a good core disciple has now become a useless person.

After no one noticed him, Zhou Qing couldn't help but quicken his pace and even used the "Silver Dragon Step".

The situation slowed down after they quietly arrived at the area of ​​core disciples. After twists and turns, they finally found Lu Yaoyao's residence.

"Is anyone there?" After arriving here, Zhou Qing first pretended to shout a few times. After making sure that no one answered, he released his spiritual sense to check again.

Hurry and run straight to the toilet... and then to the secret passage next to it.

"It's true that the most dangerous place is the safest place!" At the entrance is a piece of stone dotted in the grass.

When one of the stones was moved away, a dark cave entrance was revealed underneath.

Zhou Qing jumped down and carefully put the covering back to its original place.

After determining the direction with the map, he quickly headed towards his destination.

Soon after, he stopped, carefully compared the location map drawn by Lu Yaoyao, and then looked up.

"It should be here, God bless you!"

Zhou Qing immediately took out a hoe and started digging upwards.

"In the little tunnel, digging and digging. Searching for the precious ointment, it's delicious..."

I don’t know how long it took, but a familiar fragrance hit my face.

Zhou Qing's face suddenly lit up with joy. He quickly put away the hoe and carefully dug it open with his hands. A piece of Yanling blood ointment came into view.

"I found it, I really found it!" Zhou Qing's eyes lit up with excitement. When he was about to take it out, a pair of big hands suddenly grabbed his ankles.

Zhou Qing's face turned pale in an instant: "It's over——"

Then, he was violently pulled down by those hands.

After landing, he hurriedly got up and was about to explain when he saw a man in black staring at him in astonishment.

And above his head, there was a note floating about the entry [Gifted Little Baby].

Zhou Qing was stunned, full of disbelief, and subconsciously asked: "Second Uncle, when did you come back?"

"Oh my goodness, you can recognize this?" The second uncle pulled off the mask in disbelief, revealing a stranger's face, but it soon turned back to the familiar appearance.

Then, he looked at Zhou Qing in surprise: "No, why are you here? Wait, that's not the point. The point is, how did you find this secret passage?"

At this moment, Zhou Qing was so embarrassed that his grandmother opened the door with embarrassment, and the embarrassment overflowed from the house.

He never expected that the second uncle would suddenly come back today and catch him red-handed.

What a shitty almanac! It’s not a good time to go out today.

At this moment, Zhou Qing smiled awkwardly and kept touching the back of his head.

"Uncle, listen to my excuse. How should I put it... it was all an accident, but also fate. It was just a coincidence, so I just fell down, and then, I came in..."

Zhou Qing felt a little incoherent. Everything happened too suddenly and he was not mentally prepared at all.

The second uncle ignored him and looked up.

He just gently grabbed with his right hand, and the piece of Flame Spirit Blood Paste that Zhou Qing had originally dug out of the soil was instantly sucked down and fell steadily into the palm of his hand.

Looking at the Flame Spirit Blood Ointment in his hand, the second uncle's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, this thing was actually precipitated. Why didn't I find it before?"
