The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 211: Spirit Seal, give me crazy condensation! (6k)

Yan Xiaohu's eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and then he was filled with excitement.

When the fourth flower gathered at the top of the head, he, like everyone else in Taiqing Gate, could only catch a glimpse of the shocking scene from afar through the hazy image reflected from the horizon.

At that time, only Master and Second Senior Sister were able to experience the mystery of it firsthand.

Now, when the fourth brother became a god, he finally had the opportunity to witness this scene up close.

At this moment, the four-colored flower became more solid, and the first petal sparkled with silver light, soft and cold, full of tranquility.

The second petal is a magma-like red, hot and violent, like a volcano about to erupt.

The third petal is as blue as the ocean, deep and tranquil.

The last piece of gold, which stores spiritual power and essence, is dazzling and eye-catching, like a scorching sun, emitting a powerful breath of life.

These four colors represent Zhou Qing’s four Nascent Soul enhancements.

At this moment, with the breakthrough to the God Transformation stage, the color is deeper than before.

Zhou Qing himself had never expected that the shadow of four-colored petals would be projected at this critical moment of breakthrough, and it seemed to be undergoing an indescribable transformation.

After just a short while, the first petal began to change, turning into tiny specks of light and floating slowly towards the soul.

When the silver light touched his sea of ​​consciousness, Zhou Qing felt a strange cool feeling surge into his mind. In an instant, he seemed to be under a vast starry sky.

At this moment, his mind was clearer than ever before, as if all distracting thoughts were washed away by the pure moonlight.

"This feeling is..." Soon, Zhou Qing's eyes were filled with shock.

The state at this moment is just like having used the [Enlightenment Post] before, and the understanding has been greatly improved.

Although I don’t understand why, I must not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Without saying a word, he immediately circulated his spiritual power and immersed himself in the comprehension of the formation left to him by Senior Xuan Qingzi.

In an instant, sixty-six spiritual seals appeared around the Yuanshen Dharma Image.

These spiritual seals flickered with light, like stars, slowly rotating around the soul's image.

Soon, the sixty-seventh, sixty-eighth, and sixty-ninth pieces were condensed...

In a short period of time, the number of spiritual seals increased by thirty, reaching ninety-six.

The second uncle was already stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He is also a formation master, but he has never seen a spiritual seal condensed in this way. Shouldn't it be like a hen laying eggs, step by step?
As for Yan Xiaohu, he had witnessed such a strange scene with his own eyes before. Now that he saw it again, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"It seems that being a formation master should be very simple. It seems that I will have a new identity next!" He muttered to himself.

Just like that, after the silver light spot was completely consumed, the second red petal began to turn into a light spot and merge into the soul.

Zhou Qing felt as if he was in magma, and the powerful force around him constantly impacted his senses.

His blood began to boil, and every cell in his body was activated and full of vitality.

Thinking also becomes sharper, and perception of the surroundings becomes clearer.

Almost at the same time, the ninety-sixth spiritual seal that had been stagnant around the Dharma image began to condense into the ninety-seventh and ninety-eighth spiritual seals again.

As the red light spots were completely integrated, Zhou Qing condensed another thirty, and the number of spiritual seals reached one hundred and twenty-six.

Seeing the scene of condensing the spiritual seal so easily, the second uncle felt tired.

Why did I work so hard to study formations, immersing myself in obscure formation books and complex spiritual patterns for countless days and nights?
It’s because the remaining five coffins are full of restrictions.

But after all this effort, I have only been able to condense forty of them.

Look at others, condensing the spiritual seal is as easy as drinking cold water, so effortless.

This comparison made me feel mixed emotions and imbalanced.

At this moment, he suddenly had the urge to give up. Instead of racking his brains like this, why not train Zhou Qing well, and wait until his attainments in formation become more advanced, then he could take him to break the ban, right?

At this moment, Zhou Qing was still not satisfied. The effect was similar to that of the [Enlightenment Post], except that the time was too short.

Then, the third petal did the same thing, making him seem to turn into a drop of water and merge into the boundless ocean.

The gentleness and tenacity of water, as well as its endless tolerance, made him feel more peaceful.

When the 156th spiritual seal was condensed, the second uncle's expression had already become numb.

All that was left was a "Haha".

When the last golden light spot merged, Zhou Qing clearly felt that his spiritual power and blood essence were growing rapidly, and his body seemed to be injected with a powerful vitality.

As the 186th spiritual seal condensed and hovered around the primordial spirit, the eyes of the primordial spirit slowly opened.

Two beams of light, one black and one white, illuminate the sky and earth, overlooking the world like gods.

This made Yan Xiaohu feel a chill in his heart.

Afterwards, the soul's image slowly dissipated, the strange phenomenon in the sky gradually returned to normal, and everything returned to peace.

The second uncle had a complicated expression.

Currently, there are only nine second-level formation masters in the entire fourth-level cultivation country. Now Zhou Qing only needs fourteen spirit seals to become the tenth second-level formation master.

I’m so envious!
At this moment, the second uncle fell down and flashed into the cave. Yan Xiaohu quickly picked up the old hen and caught up with him.

In the cave, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged, surrounded by a thick layer of spirit stone powder.

This breakthrough to the God Transformation Realm almost drained out all of his wealth from the past few years.

There is no way. The energy required for transformation into a god is already enormous, not to mention that he is different from ordinary people.

Fortunately, everything went well!
"I have finally become a spirit!" Feeling the power in his body that far exceeded that of the Nascent Soul, as well as the 186 spirit seals suspended around the Primordial Spirit, Zhou Qing was overjoyed.

It's all worth it!

From then on, the soul, which is more powerful than the Nascent Soul, can survive for a long time away from the main body.

If in danger, even if the physical body is severely injured, the remaining soul can be repaired and revived. Unlike the Nascent Soul, once it is damaged, there is a risk of being wiped out.

In addition, lifespan has been increased from one thousand years to three thousand years.

The concentration of his primordial spirit also allowed him to perform certain powerful spiritual secret techniques, giving him more means and advantages in combat and training.

There are many benefits.

Just as he was immersed in joy, the Second Master suddenly appeared before him and said with a smile, "Congratulations! You've already broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm before you're even forty. You have a promising future ahead of you!"

Zhou Qing immediately stood up and saluted respectfully to the second master.

If it weren't for the second uncle, who knows how long it would take him to break through to the God Transformation Realm, especially since he also took the help just now to heart.

"Thank you!" Zhou Qing said.

The second uncle raised his hand to help Zhou Qing up and said, "This is all your own hard work, it has nothing to do with others."

Whether in terms of talent, character, or way of dealing with things, Zhou Qing is the best he has ever seen.

Sometimes he really wanted to take him in as his apprentice, but it was too late.

But then again, if he wasn't Mo Xingjian's apprentice, he would still be trapped in the third coffin.

"Take a rest. Once your breath is gathered, I will take you back to the academy first. I will also pick up some things. Then follow me to the border!" said the second uncle.

Zhou Qing nodded. After all, his grandfather had told him about this two years ago.

I am just a little worried. After all, Xuanyuan Shuo is a strong man in the middle stage of the Soul-Severing Realm, with extraordinary means. His disciples and adopted sons are all elite soldiers and their strength should not be underestimated.

Can I really beat him?
As if seeing Zhou Qing's doubts, the second uncle explained: "If you want to eradicate the mark in your sea of ​​consciousness, you need something to stimulate it, and that thing is only available across the border."

When Zhou Qing heard this, he no longer hesitated and immediately said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

……

"Senior Brother Zhou!"

After learning that Zhou Qing had returned, Lu Yaoyao didn't delay for a moment and left in a hurry.

This made Lu Yuanzhi speechless. You just came out of the secret realm, why don’t you change your clothes before going.

In recent years, that guy has come back often, you have seen him before.

If he hadn't explained the relationship between you two in advance, I would sometimes have to think too much.

[Heart Judgment Points +9]

When Zhou Qing said that he had broken through to the Spiritual Transformation stage, Lu Yaoyao's eyes were filled with admiration, and her eyes almost turned into crescents.

The original [So annoying] on his head turned into [So awesome].

"By the way, where is Senior Brother Li?" Zhou Qing asked.

When he came back a year ago, Li Daoxuan had already successfully comprehended the prototype of his own artistic conception, and they celebrated it at that time.

Lu Yaoyao blinked and replied crisply, "Back to the sect!"

Zhou Qing was stunned.

Lu Yaoyao had no choice but to explain that when the war between the five sects was not over yet, he left the Eastern Region and came all the way to Haomiao Mansion to comprehend the artistic conception.

So many years have passed, and now that he has finally achieved something, he wants to go back and take a look, and by the way, fulfill his obsession.

What remains is to concentrate on enriching one's own artistic conception and strive to break through the Spirit Transformation Realm as soon as possible.

After hearing this, Zhou Qing finally understood.

"Then why didn't you think of going back to take a look?" Zhou Qing asked.

Speaking of which, Lu Yaoyao hasn't been back for several years. The last time he and his third senior brother went back, his uncle specifically asked about it.

Even Senior Brother He Han was blocking the way at the door.

Lu Yaoyao shook her head and looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Master Lu is very good to me. Senior Brother told me not to waste this opportunity. Besides, I have to wait for you to come back. Wherever you are, I will be there."

Zhou Qing looked a little embarrassed after hearing this, but his heart felt warm.

After thinking it over, he finally told her about his next trip to the border.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoyao, without a second thought, immediately and firmly stated that she wanted to go too. "I was worried about you being like this. The secret realm around the academy..."

"I know, but there are some on the border..." Lu Yaoyao interrupted Zhou Qing immediately, but she stopped talking suddenly.

Zhou Qing was puzzled and asked, "What is it?"

Lu Yaoyao pouted and said, "I just remembered something. Anyway, I want to go with you. If you don't let me go, I'll go secretly."

Zhou Qing sighed and looked at her stubborn appearance. Sometimes he really couldn't do anything about her.

……

When Lu Yaoyao returned to her cave, she quietly took out the manual with pictures of the eldest mother, the second mother and the third mother.

But at this moment, she looked solemn as she turned the booklet over and slowly opened the first page.

What came into view was a middle-aged man with slightly sloppy clothes. His face was full of vicissitudes, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were dull. He was carrying a broken sword behind him and holding a little girl of five or six years old tightly in his hand.

Lu Yaoyao watched quietly, biting her lips unconsciously. Especially the fear and anxiety in the little girl's eyes seemed to remind her of something, and she was silent for a long time.

Then she slowly turned to the second page.

The scene switches to a quiet forest dotted with stars.

Under the night sky, the middle-aged man looked more and more haggard. He sat alone by the fire with an unshaven beard, staring straight at the fire, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Next to him, a little girl was curled up in a tattered piece of clothing, sleeping soundly.

Lu Yaoyao looked at the painting with eyes full of tenderness and pity, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch the middle-aged man's face.

When he turned to the third page, he found himself in a prosperous human city.

There were many delicious dishes on the table, including lotus cakes, steamed cheese with sugar, rice dumplings with fermented rice wine, and mung bean cakes...

The little girl sat at the table, her eyes narrowed into slits from smiling, as if she hadn't been so happy in a long time. She was eating voraciously, with some pastry crumbs on the corners of her mouth.

The middle-aged man just sat quietly by and watched. Although there was no obvious smile on his face, his eyes were full of doting, as if the little girl's happiness was his greatest happiness.

When Lu Yaoyao saw this scene, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of sadness.

Because on the fourth page, the middle-aged man looked like a god of death, holding a broken sword in his hand, and an extremely terrifying blood-red curtain appeared behind him.

At this moment, he was in the middle of a fierce battle, facing powerful beings at the level of Demon King.

In the far corner, a little girl was curled up, trembling, waiting with a look of fear on her face.

He stared intently at the direction where the middle-aged man was fighting.

When she saw this page, tears welled up in Lu Yaoyao's eyes.

Nothing else.

Ever since she could remember, she and her father had been hunted down, most of them by the terrifying Demon Kings.

There are several demon mountains close to the border of the Shengwu Dynasty, and there is more than one demon king. Perhaps the truth of that year started from there.

But that very night, Zhou Qing, who was breathing in the cave, suddenly opened his eyes.

Yan Xiaohu on the side poked his head out.

The two looked at each other and ran out quickly.

They were not the only ones who noticed the collapse of the spiritual energy in the air. Many disciples from both the inner and outer courtyards were awakened from their dreams.

In the night, a dazzling light soon shot up into the sky.

"That direction is... sir?" Soon, Zhou Qing seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he hurried away.

When we arrived at the place, we found that the outer area was already surrounded by inner court disciples, and there were even several instructors standing in the air.

Following the light source, I saw Lin Daochen standing with his eyes closed, his body surrounded by spiritual seals interwoven with countless rays of light.

The aura around him was vigorous, as if he had just broken through to the great perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and the spiritual power between heaven and earth was still continuously pouring into his body.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the number of spiritual seals floating around him has exceeded three thousand.

These marks constantly intertwine and collide with each other, making a pleasant buzzing sound.

"Three thousand spirit seals, it really is three thousand spirit seals, Master Lin has finally become a third-level formation master."

"Yes, after all these years, the Shengwu Dynasty has finally welcomed its third Level 3 Formation Master. This is cause for celebration."

"I estimate that it won't be long before people from the imperial capital come to congratulate us."

"Oh, if I had known earlier, I should have studied under Mr. Lai. With such a strong endorsement, I wonder who would dare to bully me in the future."

……

Everyone was talking about it, their eyes full of amazement and envy.

I never thought that one day I would be able to witness the birth of a third-level formation master at such a close distance.

Zhou Qing, who was in the crowd, was also happy for her husband from the bottom of her heart.

After a long time, Lin Daochen slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of joy.

"Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir!"

Many students bowed in congratulations.

Lin Daochen nodded slightly, a gentle and humble smile on his face, and said, "Congratulations!"

Not long after, the news that Lin Daochen from the Baiyu Taixu Courtyard of Haomiao Mansion was promoted to a third-level formation master spread quickly.

Two days later, the prefect of Longyuan County came in person to offer congratulations.

After all, this third-level formation master came from one of the nine prefectures under his jurisdiction.

When a large number of Blood Guards entered the academy, everyone was filled with awe and amazement.

I heard that the assessment of the Blood Forbidden Army is extremely difficult. The weakest member needs to reach the Spirit Transformation Realm, and the establishment is strictly maintained at 300 people.

This means that there are at least three hundred powerful people in the Spirit Transformation Realm who directly obey the orders of the county magistrate.

Such a powerful force is enough to make any force dare not underestimate it.

Inside the thatched hut!
Zhong Yao, the prefect of Longyuan County, was dressed in a solemn official robe and sat upright on a chair. His eyes were fixed on Lin Daochen who was standing beside him, his face full of respect.

"Master Lin, we've known each other for a long time, so I won't beat around the bush and get straight to the point." Zhong Yao's voice was steady and powerful. "I came to visit you this time because of the prince's request."

Lin Daochen was a little surprised after hearing this: "Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?"

Zhong Yao sighed slightly, his expression became a little solemn, and then he stood up.

He said slowly, "Ever since the Demon King of Taiyao Mountain died in Lingyun Mansion, the situation on the border has become increasingly complicated. Especially in the past two years, conflicts have continued, and both sides have suffered casualties."

Zhong Yao paused, then continued, "The prince had not originally intended to look for you. He invited Master Su and Master Wu over, and they have been secretly assisting in setting up the defensive formation."

"But now that you have successfully been promoted to a third-level formation master, the prince hopes that your attainments in formations will reach a new level, and he hopes that you can come out and help, adding another layer of defense to the border."

Lin Daochen listened quietly, tapping his fingers on the table, lost in thought.

Su Lishan and Wu Tiangang are third-level formation masters who have been famous for many years in the Shengwu Dynasty.

I had the honor of visiting them once before and benefited a lot from them.

I didn't expect that even they have rushed to the border. If I go there this time, I can exchange some insights into formations with these two seniors.

Soon, Lin Daochen looked up and said, "That's no problem, but this time I want to bring two people to help."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yao's slightly worried face suddenly lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Master. Not to mention two people, even two hundred people are no problem. I guess these two must be your most proud students, right?"

Lin Daochen nodded, a hint of relief in his eyes.

"They have an extremely high aptitude for understanding formations and are extremely quick to comprehend. This time, I was able to gain some insights and successfully advance to a third-level formation master thanks to one of them. However, the border is fraught with dangers, and I'm not sure if they're willing to go."

Zhong Yao hurriedly asked, "Do you need me to do some ideological work on them?"

"No, I'll talk to them when the time comes." Lin Daochen quickly spoke out to stop him.

"If you go, the nature of the situation will change. Besides, I have never had the habit of forcing others since I started practicing."

After hearing this, Zhong Yao nodded repeatedly.

Soon, Lin Daochen seemed to suddenly think of something and asked, "I've actually always been curious, was the Demon King of Taiyao Mountain really killed by the prince?"

Zhong Yao smiled bitterly and said, "I have no way of knowing such confidential matters, let alone making rash comments. But in the face of all the speculation and voices from the outside world, the prince has never denied it, so..."

Lin Daochen understood and nodded, then stood up and asked, "About when do we leave?"

Zhong Yao's expression brightened, and he said, "Of course, the sooner the better."

After a brief thought, Lin Daochen said, "I understand. I'll prepare for two days, say goodbye to some old friends, and arrange matters here."

Zhong Yao nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll prepare the teleportation arrays and spaceships in each county ahead of time to ensure the safety of you and your entourage."

After saying that, Zhong Yao bowed to Lin Daochen, then turned and left the thatched hut.

Lin Daochen looked at Zhong Yao's departing back, pondered for a moment, and then walked towards the second master's cave.

Zhou Qing was introduced by Yun Ya. If Yun Ya agreed to go to the border, then this little guy should be willing to go with us.

……

Inside the cave!
The second uncle had just returned and heard the news that Lin Daochen had been promoted to a third-level formation master. He was very happy.

"It's pretty much what I expected. You should work hard and strive to be promoted to a second-level formation master as soon as possible, so that you can fill that vacancy!" said the second uncle with hope.

Previously, the number of second-level formation masters in the Shengwu Dynasty had always remained at nine. Now that Lin Daochen has successfully been promoted to the third level, a position has become vacant in the team of second-level formation masters.

Zhou Qing smiled slightly, looking forward to it.

After all, he was only short of fourteen spirit seals. If another enlightenment post appeared one day, he could easily achieve it with his eyes closed.

"Uncle, do we need to say hello to the gentleman?" Zhou Qing asked after hesitation.

The second uncle thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Forget it. There must be a lot of people visiting him recently. The Longyuan County Magistrate is here right now. Let's talk about it later when you have some free time."

The two nodded.
