The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 212 This post is interesting (6k)

"What is the county magistrate's cultivation level?" At this moment, Yan Xiaohu asked curiously.

The second uncle thought for a moment and said, "Although he hasn't reached the Soul Severing Realm yet, he should be close to the threshold of that level."

"As far as strength is concerned, he is much stronger than the average Great Perfection of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. He is considered a powerful figure in this area."

The two nodded.

Then, the second uncle turned his gaze towards the two of them, his expression becoming serious. He said, "You should have almost finished packing in the past two days, right? There is no time to lose, let's set off early."

Speaking of this, the second uncle's face was full of anticipation.

I'm afraid that old guy didn't expect that I would come to the appointment so soon.

Zhou Qingze hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, this time, I want to take Junior Sister Lu with me. After all, the three of us came from Taiqing Sect together, and I feel bad leaving her here alone."

Seeing Zhou Qing's embarrassed expression, the second uncle smiled and said, "When I brought you to the academy to learn formations and find someone to endorse you, do you know why I agreed to let them follow?"

"Why?" Yan Xiaohu came forward and asked curiously.

The second uncle suddenly took out his pipe and hit him on the head, saying unhappily, "Because he values ​​loyalty and righteousness, that's what I admire about him."

Yan Xiaohu covered his forehead with his hands and grimaced, looking aggrieved, while Zhou Qing looked embarrassed.

But he quickly reacted and said, "Thank you, sir!"

After saying that, he quickly took out his identity token and sent a message to Lu Yaoyao.

Not long after, Lu Yaoyao rushed over.

"Hello, sir!" Lu Yaoyao bowed respectfully.

The second uncle was about to speak when he saw Lu Yuanzhi following closely.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Lu Yuanzhi's expression was cold. He slowly glanced at the few people, and finally set his eyes on the second master. Then he bowed solemnly and said, "Hello, senior!"

Several people immediately looked at Lu Yaoyao, their eyes full of confusion and questions.

Lu Yaoyao looked a little flustered and shook her head repeatedly to indicate that she had nothing to say.

Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhi explained, "This has nothing to do with Yaoyao. In fact, I have felt your extraordinaryness since the first time I came to the academy. But seeing your obsession with formations and your respect for Master Lin, I didn't expose it."

The second uncle was quite surprised when he heard this, and then he looked at Lu Yuanzhi again with a bit more inquiry in his eyes.

Then he asked, "Nascent Soul Enhancement or Divine Transformation?"

Lu Yuanzhi's expression was calm, and he answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "It's a bit of both. I realized the artistic conception when I was increasing my Nascent Soul."

The second uncle nodded.

I used to think that Zhou Qing was the only one I could not hide from, but I didn’t expect that there would be another one today.

Lu Yuanzhi said sincerely, "Yaoyao is determined to go to the border this time, and I can't stop her no matter what I do. She's even willing to give up the cultivation plan I carefully formulated for her to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage within ten years."

Lu Yuanzhi sighed slightly when he said this.

"So, after much deliberation, I've decided to go with her." Lu Yuanzhi paused. "Firstly, I can have someone to look after her along the way; secondly, I can also give her some guidance along the way so she doesn't fall behind in her cultivation."

At this point, Lu Yuanzhi bowed slightly and continued humbly: "Senior, as a powerful cultivator in the Soul Severing Realm, your cultivation level is unfathomable. Your casual guidance is far beyond the reach of this junior."

"But Lu Yaoyao has a special physique. The techniques and path of cultivation she practices are very compatible with my experience and insights. I might be able to provide her with more targeted help in this regard."

Looking at Lu Yuanzhi's stubborn yet sincere look, Lu Yaoyao felt mixed emotions and was filled with shame.

Master Lu is really good to her, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. She must follow her father to the border to investigate.

She didn't want to miss this opportunity, but she also didn't want to implicate Master Lu.

"Master Lu..." Lu Yaoyao called softly, her voice choked with sobs.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu also looked at the icy beauty in front of them. Although they knew that Master Lu was very good to Lu Yaoyao, they did not expect it to be so good.

"I am not aware of any of your affairs, and I will not be involved in anything. Please help me!" Lu Yuanzhi bowed respectfully again.

As a mentor at Baiyu Taixu Academy, he suppressed his own cultivation and did not want to break through. He also helped several people in the Soul-Slaying Realm and had close ties with the Imperial Capital.

This made the second uncle interested in her.

"Well, then follow me!" said the second uncle after hesitating.

After hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi's face, which was usually as cold as frost, couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy. He spoke sincerely and saluted again: "Thank you, senior!"

"I heard that a few years ago, two younger members of the royal family came to visit you and you were very unhappy. But I'm going to see Xuanyuan Shuo next. Are you sure it's okay with you?"

The second uncle seemed to suddenly remember something and asked suddenly.

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, his expression froze slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded gently and said, "I also know a little about changing my appearance."

The second uncle was stunned.

It seems that this has reached the point where they will never talk to each other again.

interesting!
I'm afraid this trip to the border will be more exciting than I imagined.

"Huh?" The second uncle's gaze suddenly turned to the outside of the cave.

what is it today?
"Zhou Qing, are you there?" The next moment, Lin Daochen's familiar voice came clearly from outside.

Zhou Qing subconsciously looked at the second uncle, and after seeing him nod slightly, he raised his hand to open the barrier of the cave.

Lin Daochen came in and was about to speak when he saw everyone inside staring at each other, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Soon, his eyes fell on Si Yunya and he said, "I just went to your place to look for you, but I found that you were not there. I didn't expect you to be here."

Seeing this, the second uncle hurried forward, bowed respectfully, and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Lin Daochen nodded slightly, and then told them that he planned to take them to the border.

This made everyone look at each other in confusion, and Yan Xiaohu almost laughed out loud.

Is it such a coincidence?
Lin Daochen looked at the expressions of Zhou Qing and the others, thinking they had some concerns, so he said, "I know this is a bit unreasonable. If you don't want to, I won't..."

"No, no, I'm willing, of course I am!" The second uncle was afraid that Lin Daochen would change his mind, so he spoke first.

He dressed up as the teacher's favorite student and went to the border. He also changed his appearance. At this moment, he had already imagined a fun meeting scene with Xuanyuan Shuo in his mind.

Seeing that the second uncle was so active, Lin Daochen turned his gaze to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing hurried out and said, "I'm willing to go too."

Now that sir has been promoted to a third-level formation master, there are two more on the border. If I can get some guidance from them, it should be easy for me to be promoted to a second-level formation master.

"We want to go too!" Lu Yaoyao and Yan Xiaohu said in unison.

Lin Daochen didn't know Yan Xiaohu, but Lu Yaoyao was Master Lu's student.

He looked at Lu Yuanzhi beside him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanzhi said coldly: “I want to go too!”

Lin Daochen: “…”

……

Haomiao Mansion!
It was still as lively as ever here. Lin Daochen walked in it, his eyes slowly sweeping over everything around him, feeling as if everything had just happened the day before.

Ever since entering the academy and devoting himself to studying formations and restrictions, he has rarely come out.

"Sir, which old friend are we going to visit?" Zhou Qing, who was following behind him, asked curiously.

Lin Daochen continued walking. He turned his head slightly, stroked his beard, and said with a gentle smile, "Dean!"

"Dean?" The second uncle, who had been careless at first, couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard these two words.

Even the sound was a little abrupt, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Lin Daochen stopped, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, he looked at the second uncle and asked, "What's wrong?"

The second uncle quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just curious."

Zhou Qing also didn't expect that the mysterious dean of the Soul-Slaying Realm mentioned by the second uncle would actually be in Haomiao Mansion.

Lin Daochen continued walking as he spoke, "If it weren't for the Dean's life-saving grace, I would have died long ago. How could I be who I am today? I should go and express my gratitude for my promotion to level three."

The second uncle following behind him nodded repeatedly, and under Zhou Qing's gaze, he quickly formed seals with his hands and continuously injected marks into his body.

As these obscure marks merged, a calm aura emanated from him, and his cultivation was completely stabilized at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was too fake, so he raised his cultivation to the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Zhou Qing also wanted to use the "Void Realm Dharma Image" to cover it up, but when he thought about facing a senior in the Soul-Slaying Realm, he decided to give up.

After all, even Mr. Fu Kui couldn't hide it before.

My little tricks will be exposed in front of the other party, and it will be counterproductive and not good.

"You are my favorite students, so I wanted to bring you here to meet him. If I am no longer around, and you encounter any problems, perhaps the dean will be able to help you out because we are acquaintances."

Lin Daochen's voice unconsciously took on a hint of vicissitudes.

The lifespan of a person in the God Transformation Realm is three thousand years in total. This three thousand year period starts from the moment one comprehends the artistic conception and is promoted to the God Transformation Realm, until the completion of the God Transformation Realm.

Even though he has condensed three thousand spirit seals and broken through to the realm of perfection, it is impossible for him to further break through to the realm of beheading spirits.

In the entire fourth-level cultivation country, there are countless cultivators who have reached the great perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but there are only a few strong ones in the Soul Slaying Realm, with only a dozen in total.

Besides, he doesn't have hundreds of years left to live.

But whether it is Zhou Qing or Si Yunya, they are still young and have a bright future.

Hearing Lin Daochen's words, they both fell silent, their emotions mixed.

In this way, the three of them walked through the bustling main streets and turned into quiet alleys. However, Zhou Qing felt more and more familiar as he walked.

"This is it!" Not long after, Lin Daochen suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on the inconspicuous grocery store in front of him.

Zhou Qing looked up and was stunned when he saw the shop.

"No way!"

Because what caught his eye at this moment was none other than Mr. Weng’s grocery store.

"Here you are!" The next moment, Elder Weng's familiar voice was heard from inside. Lin Daochen looked solemn, bowed respectfully, and then stepped in.

Zhou Qing's heart tightened, and he quickly turned his head to look at the second uncle, wanting to say something, but he saw that he looked normal and followed him in calmly.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing had no choice but to follow in with a nervous mood.

Walking into the shop, the furnishings inside are still the same as before.

Old Weng was still sitting on the worn bamboo chair as usual, swaying slightly and making a slight creaking sound.

On the small table next to it, there was a slightly old teapot, emitting curls of steam.

"Dean!" Lin Daochen spoke softly with respect after seeing Mr. Weng.

Hearing this, Zhou Qing's heart suddenly jumped and he looked at Old Man Weng again. Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't believe it.

Old Man Weng opened his eyes, nodded slightly at Lin Daochen, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said: "Congratulations, you have finally taken this step!"

Lin Daochen quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Dean. This step has taken me a long time to take, and it can be considered as fulfilling a wish that I have had for many years. I came here specifically to say goodbye to you."

Afterwards, Lin Daochen told the story about Longyuan County Magistrate Zhong Yao and Prince Xuanyuan Shuo.

Weng Yunqi listened quietly, then nodded and said, "As a citizen of the Shengwu Dynasty, I have no choice but to do my duty in matters concerning the safety of our country. However, the border is dangerous, so you must be careful."

Lin Daochen responded respectfully, "Yes, Dean. By the way, I brought two people with me this time. They are also from the academy..."

"Zhou Qing, long time no see. I didn't expect you to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm so quickly!" Before Lin Daochen finished his introduction, Old Weng suddenly spoke with a smile.

Lin Daochen was slightly stunned and full of confusion.

They actually know each other?

Zhou Qing walked forward with a wry smile, bowed respectfully, and said, "I didn't expect you to be the dean."

Thinking back on everything he had experienced in those nine months, Zhou Qing felt a little embarrassed.

No wonder I couldn’t detect his cultivation level at the beginning. I thought he was just an ordinary old man. It turns out that he is a powerful person in the Soul-Slaying Realm.

Elder Weng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Dean or not, it's just a title. You're really good."

"Thank you for the compliment, Dean!" Zhou Qing said gratefully.

Zhou Qing is in the Spirit Transformation Realm, so Lin Daochen can naturally feel it clearly.

After all, in the academy, many people hide their cultivation for various purposes.

Some do so to study better in college, while others just want to build relationships and seek more opportunities.

This was not a surprise to Lin Daochen.

However, at this moment, he was surprised that the dean seemed to have an unusually familiar relationship with Zhou Qing. Moreover, the dean rarely commented on others on weekdays, but now he praised Zhou Qing so much, which really made him curious.

Afterwards, Lin Daochen pulled the Second Uncle closer and introduced him to Elder Weng, "Dean, his name is Si Yunya. He is very talented in formations and is a rare talent."

"Greetings, Dean!" The second uncle saluted respectfully.

Old Man Weng nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the Second Master, and said, "I've seen it a few times. Zhou Qing was able to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm so quickly, but it was all thanks to him."

Upon hearing this, the second uncle suddenly looked up, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

Zhou Qing's heart was in turmoil.

Lin Daochen became even more confused.

How come the dean knows the two juniors I brought here?
Old Weng said no more, but closed his eyes again, yawned softly, and said slowly: "Alright, I'm tired too. I'll come back soon after I finish my work. That place is not a place to stay for long."

Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Lin Daochen bowed respectfully again, and then left with Zhou Qing and the second uncle.

After turning a few main streets, the second uncle, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped and said, "Sir, I want to buy some things around here. You guys go back to the academy first, I'll be back soon."

Lin Daochen nodded in agreement and warned, "Be careful and come back quickly."

Zhou Qing looked at the second uncle, as if thinking about something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The dean's cultivation is definitely higher than that of the second uncle.

In the past few years, he has been traveling around the various major families in various prefectures, but he never noticed that someone has been secretly spying on him.

……

When Zhou Qing returned to the cave, the second uncle was already waiting for him.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Fortunately, he only followed you for the first two months. He shouldn't have been there when you broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm." said the second uncle.

The matter of Zhou Qing's four flowers gathering at the top of his head is so special that the fewer people who know about it, the safer it will undoubtedly be.

After hearing this, Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief and his expression relaxed a lot.

"Tell me in detail what happened between you two," said the second uncle after thinking for a while.

Zhou Qing sorted out his thoughts and told everything that had happened in Haomiao Mansion in those nine months.

After hearing this, the second uncle suddenly understood.

Then he said, "His cultivation should be higher than mine, and he should not belong to our fourth-level cultivation country."

Zhou Qing was a little surprised after hearing this and said, "From a foreign cultivation country?"

The second uncle nodded and continued, "I sensed a trace of the Five Degenerations of Heavenly Beings from him, but it wasn't quite like that. In my opinion, he must have been injured and is hiding here to heal."

Zhou Qing pondered.

The second uncle patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't worry. It seems that he has no other intentions at the moment, but people's hearts are unpredictable, so we must be on guard."

Zhou Qingshen agreed and nodded seriously to show that he understood.

Soon, the old hen came in from outside the cave, flapping its wings. Yan Xiaohu chased after her: "Hey, you're back. I'm ready here. When are we going to set off?"

Zhou Qing squatted down with a smile, and the old hen jumped up with its wings flapping.

He gently stroked the chicken feathers, feeling how soft and smooth they were, with excellent texture. It seemed that the effect of the mid-grade spirit stones in recent years was quite good.

However, he only has a few spirit stones left. It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I don't know if this old hen can get used to being fed low-grade spirit stones in the future.

"Let's wait for the master's notification!" Zhou Qing said as he took out his identity token and contacted Lu Yaoyao first to ask her to be prepared.

The second uncle turned his gaze towards the old hen and said, "I remember you bought this chicken at the Five Sects Yibao Fair, right?"

Zhou Qing gently stroked the chicken's head and replied with a smile: "Well, after buying it, I opened the blind box at your place."

The second uncle nodded and said seriously, "This should be a mutant egg chicken. You have to keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get caught and eaten."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "That's definitely not going to happen."

But then again, I haven't seen it lay eggs for a long time when I went out in the past few years.

After a brief hesitation, he took the opportunity to check it again.

[Egg Chicken: A rare spiritual chicken that has undergone an extreme mutation, possessing a powerful digestive system. With the continuous intake of spiritual stones over the past few years, it is now undergoing a second mutation, making it virtually incapable of being trapped by certain formations and restrictions.]

Seeing this, Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

It seemed that several years ago, I saw it sneaking out of the courtyard from time to time and ignoring the barrier. So this is the reason.

"After you've been promoted to a Level 2 Formation Master, let's go back to Taiqing Sect. There must be some good stuff in Hongta Mountain. Take it with you and have a look!"

The second uncle whispered.

Zhou Qing nodded. He also had to hurry up with the simulation to ensure that when he went in in person, he wouldn't encounter too much danger.

【Today's post is being refreshed...】

【The new post has been saved in the odd post record, please check it in time. 】

At this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind, which surprised Zhou Qing.

Ever since the last two [Epiphany Posts] were refreshed, there has been no more noise from the random posts. The key is randomness.

At this moment, I quickly focused my attention on the panel.

What appeared before him was a black post with a foul smell.

[Corpse Touching Post: By touching the corpse, you can trigger the deceased's last wish. Fulfilling the wish will randomly grant you a precious item from the deceased. Limited to three people!]

Zhou Qing blinked when he saw the introduction.

This post is quite interesting. The thing that is most lacking on the border is probably the dead.

"what?"

Soon, Zhou Qing looked at the Qitielu, and there seemed to be a golden edge faintly flashing.

As Zhou Qing opened it with his spiritual sense, another post was revealed.

[Good Luck Post: You can incorporate it into yourself or give it to others. Once it takes effect, good luck will always be with you and blessings will continue. It lasts for one day!]

What a surprise! I almost didn’t notice that two posts appeared randomly this time.

Last time it was [Enlightenment Post] + [Good Luck Post], double buffs superimposed, directly completing the "Emperor Glory Sutra", sixty-six spirit seals, plus spirit stones picked up overnight.

If he could refresh the [Epiphany Post] again, he would be able to try out the inscription-level magical power [Blood Curtain of a Hundred Tribulations].

I don't ask for the three thousand Phoenix Dao patterns anymore, I just want to unlock the Blood Wing Phantom in advance, and after killing the enemies within the range, it will automatically condense into the [Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystal].

As someone who has reached the state of Four Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, the energy required to advance is simply too enormous.

"What are you grinning about? The master called!"

At this moment, the second uncle knocked Zhou Qing on the back of the head and then walked out.

Zhou Qing came to his senses and hurriedly carried the old hen out.

When I got outside, I saw Lu Yaoyao coming in hurriedly. Beside her was a strange face who looked about the same size as Lu Yaoyao.

"Can you smell it?" The old man looked at it with interest and said to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing shook his head.

I have to say that Lu Yuanzhi's transformation technique is quite good, but I don't know how long it can last.

Seeing this, Lin Daochen did not ask any more questions. It seemed that both parties should have reached an agreement long ago.
