The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 229: New Discoveries of Talents and Skills [Daily Review] (6k)

At this time, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were red and he walked forward quickly.

He wanted to grab Chen Fei's hand, but because it was just a wisp of divine thought, his hands passed straight through her shadow and he couldn't hold anything.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Lu Yuanzhi asked in a crying voice.

At this time, Chen Fei's spiritual power was almost exhausted, and began to dim, and her figure gradually became blurred.

Looking at her two sisters who had finally resolved the misunderstanding, she tried her best to force a smile.

It seemed as if all the misunderstandings in the past were redeemed at this moment.

At present, the entire Soul-Slaying Realm of the Shengwu Dynasty basically has a close relationship with them, especially the Nine Nether Demon Lotus, which they regard as a forbidden delicacy.

I had to give it my all and maneuver around it so as not to arouse their suspicion.

But now, it’s all worth it!

But she will be trapped in that cage for the rest of her life.

call out!
The next moment, a ray of light flashed, and Dean Weng Yunqi suddenly appeared without warning.

He glanced at Concubine Chen indifferently, a trace of imperceptible compassion flashed in his eyes, and then he sighed softly.

Then, he walked slowly to Lu Yuanzhi's side, stretched out his hand slightly, and took the note.

He quickly scanned the content and then shook his head helplessly.

"Except for the Nine Nether Demonic Lotus, everything else is just the recipe for the first-grade Bone-Growing Pill."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Lu Yuanzhi was even more incredulous. He subconsciously snatched the note, widened his eyes, and checked it word by word.

The Concubine Chen's eyes, which were originally filled with peace of mind, froze in an instant, and she just stood there in a daze.

After a moment, her legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground, her body shaking violently and uncontrollably.

His eyes were full of despair and confusion.

"He, he found out. He was deliberately teasing me..." Chen Fei muttered to herself, her voice full of sadness.

After so many years of endless pain and humiliation, all I got in return was a piece of waste paper.

"Third sister!" Lu Yuanzhi and Yawei said anxiously.

However, Concubine Chen slowly raised her head and looked at her two sisters with a dull gaze.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she said weakly: "I'm sorry--"

After saying the last word, the figure disappeared completely.

"Azhi, bring Achen..." Yaoi spoke subconsciously in a hurry, but the words stopped abruptly at his lips.

The current emperor is suspicious by nature. Since he has never truly trusted the third sister, how can she, as the eldest sister, let the second sister go and take risks?

Lu Yuanzhi was also extremely anxious. Suddenly, as if she had grabbed the last straw, she looked at Zhou Qing fiercely.

"Is she still in the academy?"

Zhou Qing had no choice but to tell the truth: "I just left this morning. I think I was forced to do so."

After hearing this, Yawei's originally dull eyes suddenly brightened up. She didn't expect that the third brother was right next to her.

Lu Yuanzhi was also delighted and was about to set out to catch up.

But he soon stopped, turned around and bowed deeply to Dean Weng Yunqi, his voice trembling: "Please help me, Dean."

Weng Yunqi slowly shook his head, his eyes filled with helplessness and apology: "I came here to avoid any causal relationships. After all, I can barely protect myself. I'm sorry."

After hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he hurriedly said, "It was the junior who was rude."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Qing and Lin Daochen eagerly, her eyes full of pleading: "Please help me."

Then, he quickly chased after him.

Weng Yunqi looked at Yawei, whose eyes were filled with renewed desire to survive, and after a moment of silence, he said nothing more.

He just nodded slightly at Zhou Qing and turned back to the grocery store in Haomiao Mansion.

He lay back down on the bamboo chair, looking at the busy streets outside, his eyes deep, not knowing what he was thinking about.

At this moment, Yabi endured the severe pain in his body and slowly stood up. Using all his strength, he raised his right leg and pointed it to his left. He said in a weak voice, "Masters, please forgive my previous neglect. It's that position!"

Lin Daochen nodded, but Zhou Qing glanced at him inadvertently, and his pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes full of disbelief.

Because at this moment, under the abdomen of the Eight-Tailed Fox, there were actually four ice-blue crystals embedded in the formation.

These crystals exude a strong chill, like spirit snakes, constantly moving around, and wherever they go, the air condenses.

"Xuanbingsui——" Zhou Qing's eyes were full of surprise and he couldn't help but blurt out.

That's right, according to the records and portraits on the jade slips Zhang Wanbao gave him, this thing usually exists at the bottom of a thousand-year-old cold pond, or deep in an ice cave in an extremely cold place, and the probability of its birth is extremely low.

Lu Yuanzhi and others came from the fox tribe in the far north. He had been thinking of asking Master Lu about them, but he didn't expect to see him here.

As if it heard Zhou Qing's mumbling, Bawei endured the severe pain of its body being torn apart, slowly stretched out its claws, and struggled to pick out a piece from the formation, and then pushed it out of the formation with great effort.

"I didn't expect you to know this at such a young age. This thing was specially left by Azhi, but it's actually useless to me. I'll give you a piece!"

Yabi said in a hoarse voice.

She wants to live now. At least the third brother is in the imperial capital, which makes her worry more.

Zhou Qing was grateful when he saw this.

Because he really needs this thing now.

Now, all he lacks is the spiritual soil and the flame spiritual flower. Maybe these two things are in the cave.

Once the ancient tea tree of enlightenment is planted and brought to life, he will make rapid progress at an unprecedented speed, whether it is inscription-level magical powers or formations.

"Thank you, senior!" Zhou Qing expressed his gratitude.

Afterwards, Yawei looked at Lin Daochen again. Just as he was about to attack again, Lin Daochen quickly said, "I don't need this thing."

Only then did Yaoi nod, endure the pain, and slowly lie down.

"Zhou Qing, come here!" Lin Daochen shouted to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing hurried over, and the two of them looked at the magic circle in front of them and began to inspect it.

After a while, seeing Master Lin's embarrassed expression and a bit at a loss as to where to start, Zhou Qing immediately carried out an appraisal.

[Damaged array: This is part of the Taiyin Nurturing Spirit Array. It was intentionally vandalized a day ago, but fortunately the damage wasn't severe.]

[As long as the four spiritual patterns of the Spiritual Essence Gathering Pattern, the Spiritual Energy Harmonizing Pattern, the Spiritual Breath Stabilizing Pattern, and the Spiritual Perception Attraction Pattern are repaired, everything will be back on track.]

Looking at the feedback, Zhou Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least she is worthy of the piece of black ice marrow that Senior Yabi gave her.

"Zhou Qing--" Lin Daochen looked at Zhou Qing a little embarrassedly.

It wasn't long since he was promoted to a third-level formation master, and now he really couldn't repair the four-color formation.

Zhou Qingze looked over hurriedly, took out the formation experience left by Master Situ and looked at it again, and then found two spiritual patterns.

"Sir, just fix these two!"

Looking in the direction Zhou Qing pointed, Lin Daochen nodded repeatedly, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he stepped forward. Immediately, three thousand spiritual seals appeared and he began to repair it.

Zhou Qingze paced to the side, his eyes sharp as torches, searching carefully among the complex patterns.

Finally, I found the other two spiritual patterns suggested by the system.

As his mind moved, a total of one thousand spirit seals appeared. Threads of spiritual power quietly penetrated some of the spirit seals and sank into the spirit patterns, trying to match them.

After Lin Daochen expelled more than a dozen spirit seals one after another, he accidentally glanced at Zhou Qing, who was stunned on the spot.

"Thousands, thousands of spiritual seals? How is this possible!"

When Zhou Qing was repairing the four-color magic circle at the border not long ago, didn’t he only have 186 spirit seals?

When did it increase so much?
Wait, that’s not the point. It is extremely difficult to comprehend spiritual seals, especially the rare spiritual seals involved later on, which are even more difficult than ascending to heaven.

How on earth did he do it?
Soon, he smiled bitterly.

Unexpectedly, one day, he would actually be able to see what the monster looked like.

He followed Si Yunya to kill the Demon King. At such a young age, he was able to defeat five generals of the same level in a row at the Spirit Transformation Realm.

For a formation master, the number of spiritual seals increases even more, which shows how incredible his talent is.

"I have no regrets in this life!" Lin Daochen murmured to himself. After taking a long breath, he adjusted his state and started trying again.

This went on until the evening, when Zhou Qing wiped the sweat from his head and finally repaired the two spiritual patterns in front of him.

Turning around, Master Lin also successfully repaired one, but the other one was only halfway through. There seemed to be a rare spiritual seal in it, which he could not match and kept rejecting.

Looking at the gentleman with a frown on his face and a helpless expression, Zhou Qing stepped forward with a smile and said, "Let me try!"

Afterwards, he mobilized his spiritual power and began to carefully select the spiritual seal that matched the spiritual pattern.

Lin Daochen, who was standing behind him, looked at Zhou Qing's back with a look of relief and pride on his face.

……

It was not until the next day that Zhou Qing repaired the spiritual seal and breathed a sigh of relief.

hum~
At this moment, as the four spiritual patterns were repaired, the entire magic circle suddenly trembled.

Then, it began to run slowly, making a dull and regular humming sound.

The blue magic circle on the head of the Eight-Tailed Fox no longer had chaotic fluctuations on its edges, but became neat and orderly.

The surging spiritual power continued to seep down, greatly alleviating her pain.

Seeing this scene, Lin Daochen admired Zhou Qing even more.

You know, this is a four-color magic circle. A successful repair once may be considered a fluke, but to be able to complete it successfully twice in a row is definitely not a coincidence.

This is definitely a true genius, born with a keen intuition about battle formations.

He is just repairing himself now, but I am afraid that in a few years he will become a master in the field of formations.

"Thank you!" Yaowei, who also sensed the changes in the formation, opened his eyes tiredly and said gratefully.

The two saluted: "You're welcome!"

Afterwards, Zhou Qing couldn't help but frown as he watched her huge body constantly repairing and tearing apart.

Are the aftereffects of failing to kill the soul so terrible?

Just as the Supreme Elder said, no one dared to take this step until the last moment.

Because at the very least, the body will be severely injured, and at the worst, the soul will be destroyed.

"Senior, I have something to ask, but I'm not sure if I should or shouldn't ask." After much thought, Zhou Qing still spoke out of curiosity. Yawei looked at Zhou Qing, nodded slightly, and said, "Just ask."

Zhou Qing said: "I heard from my elders that each person can only take three lotus seeds of the Nine Nether Demonic Lotus, after which they will lose their medicinal effect. You have experienced two soul beheadings, this..."

As if understanding Zhou Qing's doubts, Bawei spoke up and said, "The Nine Nether Demonic Lotus is the supreme sacred medicine of my fox clan, but it has only matured in my generation."

"For the human race, three is indeed the limit, but for my demon race, it is double."

Zhou Qing suddenly realized.

In the battle of Canglan Mountain, Sikong Yan used the essence and blood of millions of monsters to ripen a total of twenty Nine Nether Lotus Seeds, including ten from the Cang Yan Taoist Palace and four from the Tianji Sect.

Taiqing Sect, Jinlei Sect and Qingyu Xianzong each have two, and now they have arranged for their own supreme elders to go into seclusion to refine them.

I don’t know what the situation is now?

I hope they don't end up like this.

It's really worse than death.

"The dean is not here, and Master Lu hasn't returned yet. We can't leave this secret realm, and you've been working hard all day. Why don't you take a rest here first?"

Lin Daochen on the side spoke.

Zhou Qing nodded. He had the same idea, and he thought it would be better to talk less with this senior.

Every word she spoke seemed extremely difficult, which made him feel a little bit reluctant.

Afterwards, Zhou Qing took out a top-grade spirit stone with fire attribute and began to refine it to replenish his spiritual power.

Because of his exclusive mental method "Yin Yang Jue", and the constant replenishment of spiritual power from the four-color magic array, Zhou Qing had completely recovered his energy by noon.

Looking at the huge eight-tailed fox in front of him, he suddenly realized something.

The innate skill [Daily Appraisal] can identify everything except humans.

But the old hen was successfully identified because it was not a human.

But the eight-tailed fox in front of him, although it has reached the great perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm and can completely transform into a human form, in its current state, it is just a fox.

At least there is no trace of any connection with humans.

I wonder if it can be identified?

If it is possible, isn't it a loophole?
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing suddenly became interested and immediately turned his gaze to her for identification.

[Eight-Tailed Fox: This is a fox that failed twice in a row to break through the Soul Severing Realm. It has suffered backlash for many years and is now living a life worse than death.]

[Unfortunately, even with the help of the Four-Colored Magic Circle, it can only alleviate her pain. She has a long lifespan, but she still has days of suffering to endure.]

Seeing the feedback, Zhou Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.

It actually works.

"What are you laughing at?" Just when Zhou Qing was overjoyed, Lin Daochen, who had also recovered, reminded him in a low voice.

No matter what the reason, it was inappropriate to stare at the suffering eight-tailed foxes and smile like that, and it might even cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Zhou Qing reacted and pursed his lips awkwardly, a hint of apology flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at the message in front of him again.

There is no relevant treatment plan. It seems that I can only wait for the [Daily Review] to be refreshed and hope that the next time will bring better luck.

After all, Lu Yuanzhi was so good to Junior Sister Lu, and the person in front of him even gave him a piece of Mysterious Ice Marrow for free.

Help if you can!

"Your name is Zhou Qing, right?" At this moment, the eight-tailed fox opened his eyes again. Although his voice was weak, it was calm and gentle.

Zhou Qing nodded and said sincerely: "Yes, senior!"

"My name is Lu Yuanjiu, and I'm very happy to meet you. In the past few years, Azhi often came to chat with me, and she talked about you and Lu Yaoyao many times, especially the trip to the border!" said Lu Yuanjiu.

Zhou Qing could only smile politely.

"You are already in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm at such a young age, and you are extremely talented in formation. You must learn well from Master Lin." Lu Yuanjiu continued.

Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly, looking willing to learn.

Lin Daochen didn't expect that the other party actually knew him. It seemed that it was all said by Master Lu.

However, the opposite is true.

Next, perhaps I will have to learn more from Zhou Qing.

This senior seemed to be in good spirits, and it seemed like he hadn't chatted so freely with outsiders for a long time.

Zhou Qing's heart suddenly moved, and curiosity drove him to ask, "Senior, what's going on with Lin Jin?"

After hearing this, Lu Yuanjiu's eyes showed nostalgia. He was silent for a while and said, "He is the same as you, a human. He once saved Ah Chen when he was in the Nascent Soul stage, and the two of them got to know each other from then on."

"Unfortunately, during an expedition to the ruins, they found themselves in danger. In the end, Lin Jin sacrificed himself to find a way for Achen to survive."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing nodded thoughtfully.

So, is that man in white Lin Jin?
Is he related to Sikong Yan?
"Senior, is there really no other way to deal with the backlash after failing to sever the soul? For example, abandoning this body directly or taking over another body?"

After thinking about it, Zhou Qing asked again.

This time, Lu Yuanjiu did not answer, but Lin Daochen on the side spoke up and said, "Soul Slashing is about slashing all the obsessions and emotions of the past. They do not exist in the physical body, but are here."

Lin Daochen said this while pointing to the sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows.

"Master Lin is right. They are everywhere. Our spirit, consciousness, memory, and even our physical body all have traces of their existence." Lu Yuanjiu said helplessly.

After hearing this, Zhou Qing sighed softly.

This step is really difficult.

Now that Master Lin has been promoted to a third-level formation master, he has broken through to the perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm. I wonder if he will be able to kill souls in the future?
Will the old emperor lend him a helping hand because of the value of his identity?

……

In the early morning, as the [Daily Appraisal] was refreshed, Zhou Qing couldn't wait to conduct another appraisal.

[Eight-Tailed Fox: This is a fox who has failed twice in a row to break through to the Soul Severing Realm. Now she is living a life worse than death. If you want to help her completely break free, there are three ways.]

[First: Kill it.]

[Second: Help her break through the Soul Severing Realm.]

[Third: Fortunately, she is a demon, with a strong body and amazing perseverance. If she uses the Nine-Leaf Spirit-Concentrating Flower to repair her spiritual sea and calm her obsession, she will be fully recovered within six months.]

Seeing the introduction again, Zhou Qing's anxious heart was completely relieved.

Finally, I am worthy of the gift of Xuanbingsui.

The first two methods are probably impossible, but the third one can be tried.

Afterwards, he picked up the jade slip given by Zhang Wanbao and began to look for these two treasures from heaven and earth.

It was not until dawn that I found information about this item.

[Nine-Leaf Spirit-Concentrating Flower: A companion spiritual herb to the Misty Miasma Newt. Its plant is slender, with a flexible stem. Its nine emerald leaves grow in a spiral, capable of concentrating the mind.]

[It must not be taken alone, otherwise the soul and body will be unable to withstand it. It must be neutralized with other medicinal ingredients, or refined into a pill, in order to mitigate its violent effects.]

Apart from this, there is nothing else, only a picture of a blue flower with a stamen shimmering with golden light.

"Concentrating the soul? It seems that no one has ever used it to try to recover from the sequelae of a failed soul-slaying attempt," Zhou Qing said to himself.

wrong--

[Daily Review] says that because Senior Lu Yuanjiu is a demon with a strong body and strong willpower, this spiritual plant is recommended.

If it happened to someone else with the same symptoms, it would have caused immeasurable consequences.

He thought this would apply to all those who failed to sever their souls. Otherwise, it would definitely be a major discovery.

At this moment, a distraught figure staggered in from outside the formation. It was Lu Yuanzhi.

"Azhi, what happened?" Seeing Lu Yuanzhi, Lu Yuanjiu supported his weak body and asked anxiously.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at her elder sister, her eyes instantly reddened, and then she shook her head slightly, her voice choked with sobs: "I didn't catch up."

When Eight-Tailed Lu Yuanjiu heard this, she immediately roared towards the sky, but then the wounds on her body that had just healed suddenly broke open again, causing her to wail.

Seeing this, Lin Daochen, who already knew the inside story, hurried out to comfort her.

"Don't worry, she is the Ninth Princess' biological mother after all. The current Emperor won't do anything to her."

Lu Yuanzhi also took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then comforted him.

"Sister, Master Lin is right. The third sister has been clever since she was young. Maybe she will continue to pretend that she doesn't know she's been tricked. She will lie dormant in the imperial capital and come out if she finds an opportunity one day."

At this point, Lu Yuanzhi quickly looked at Zhou Qing and said, "You said that when the third brother gave you the jade box, no one knew about it, right?"

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "No one should know."

Lu Yuanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly looked at Lu Yuanjiu, and said: "Sister, did you hear that? She is very smart."

Lu Yuanjiu, who was trembling with pain, slowly calmed down.

"It's so hard for Achen--" Lu Yuanjiu muttered to himself with tears in his eyes.

Lu Yuanzhi wiped his eyes, then looked at the stably operating formation. His originally furrowed brows finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

He immediately stepped forward and saluted the two of them.

He then took out three top-grade spirit stones and said, "Thank you so much for this. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't despise it."

Seeing this, Lin Daochen immediately refused.

Not to mention that she and he are both instructors at Baiyu Taixu Academy, it is only natural for them to help each other.

Just say this time, what did he do?
It was Zhou Qing who discovered the symptoms, and in the end he only repaired one spiritual pattern. If he took the money, he would feel ashamed of himself.

Although Zhou Qing was also envious, he did not reach out for it.

Not to mention the Black Ice Marrow that he had already obtained, just based on her love for Junior Sister Lu and her efforts to help her break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he was willing to help her.

After several refusals, both of them refused to take the money.

"I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself this time. In that case, I'll send you out right now, but please keep my eldest sister's matter a secret!"

Lu Yuanzhi had no choice but to put it away again.

The two nodded and were escorted out of the secret realm.

outside world!

Seeing Lin Daochen leave, Zhou Qing looked at Lu Yuanzhi who was about to return to the secret realm again, and after a brief hesitation, he spoke.

"Master Lu, there's something I don't know whether I should say or not!"
