The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 85 No, how could I be considered a human trafficker? (6k)

Aoki Castle!
Deacon Feng Cheng, who had recovered, reported to Peak Master Mo Xingjian nervously about everything that had happened during this period.

Fortunately, the two Blood Tai Sui have been eliminated, the evil spirits have disappeared, the spiritual fields have recovered little by little, and everything is back on track.

"When did my second son appear in Qingmu City?" Mo Xingjian asked while drinking tea.

Zhou Qing and others who were standing nearby also looked over with concern.

Feng Cheng thought for a moment and said, "To answer the Peak Master, it was a month before the incident at the Spiritual Field that Senior Sister Luo found my subordinate with her identity token. After giving me some simple supplies, she hurried away. Oh, and she also left a letter, saying that if any of her junior brothers came, I should give it to him. Otherwise, forget it."

Feng Cheng seemed to have thought of something and quickly took out a letter from his storage bag.

There are also four big words written on it: "Written by Lao Mo himself."

When he heard that there was a letter, Mo Xingjian's eyes suddenly lit up, but when he saw the words on the cover, he sighed lightly, and then looked at Yan Xiaohu unhappily.

Yan Xiaohu was about to stretch his neck to look, but when he met Mo Xingjian's gaze, he turned his head away and touched his nose awkwardly.

When I first joined the mountain sect, the second senior sister kept calling me "Lao Mo, Lao Mo" all day long, and she did it right in front of my face, but the master just smiled and didn't get angry.

So, after thinking it over again and again, he made a bold decision and shouted the same thing again.

So he was locked up in a small dark room. The second senior sister made a big fuss on the spot, and he was released after only half a day.

From then on, he only dared to call Lao Mo behind his back, at least not in public.

At this moment, Mo Xingjian slowly opened the envelope, and Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu quickly leaned over and started reading together.

[Lao Mo, how are you doing lately? Are Sanhuzi and Xiao Aqing behaving well? Calculating the time, it's been over three years since I left Xiaoling Peak. I had originally finished my business and planned to return in two days, but I didn't expect to hear about the Soul Breathing Immortal Grass along the way.]

[Also, I've found some clues along the way, so I won't be coming back for now. Once I bring back the Soul Breathing Immortal Grass, it should be able to completely heal your soul injury. Don't worry, I'm fine. Also, don't bully Sanhuzi and Xiao Aqing, otherwise, I will definitely not forgive you when I come back!]

Seeing this, Mo Xingjian's eyes turned red and he rubbed them quickly.

"What a shabby place this is! There's even sand inside the temple. Feng Cheng, Qingmu City is the location of the sect's main spiritual valley. We must protect the environment and avoid damaging the spiritual fields!"

Mo Xingjian suddenly said to Deacon Feng Cheng.

Feng Cheng immediately accepted the order!

Zhou Qing remained silent.

He remembered that he had opened a blind box at the second uncle's stall and found a piece of Mohun Jade, but his third senior brother turned around and sold it to the master, saying that the master's soul was injured.

I originally thought it was a minor injury, but now it seems to be very serious. It seems like it has been many years, and as his apprentice, I was completely unaware of it.

At this moment, his heart was filled with guilt.

"Girls are more considerate after all!" Mo Xingjian whispered to himself, then carefully folded the letter.

Suddenly, Yan Xiaohu quietly leaned close to Mo Xingjian's ear and said slowly, "Master, I'm also considerate. Last time, the Black Soul Jade..."

"I bought that with my own money!" Mo Xingjian snorted, stood up and said loudly.

When Yan Xiaohu heard this, he immediately quit: "These are two different things. At least I haven't sold it to anyone else. I'm still thinking about you..."

Just as Yan Xiaohu said this, he saw Mo Xingjian raised his hand and touched his neck. He was immediately frightened and stopped talking. He immediately hid behind Zhou Qing.

"Take a rest and return to the sect tomorrow!"

After saying this, Mo Xingjian turned and left.

Yan Xiaohu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhou Qing asked, "Third Senior Brother, is Master's soul okay?"

"It's okay, it's just an old illness. With this Soul-Breathing Immortal Grass, it can be completely eradicated!" said Yan Xiaohu.

Zhou Qing said: "Then what is this Soul Breathing Immortal Grass..."

There are some things he doesn't quite understand yet, and the knowledge he has learned is always lacking.

Yan Xiaohu suddenly put away his playful smile and said solemnly, "It is indeed very rare. Let me give you an example. There was once an auction where a Soul Breathing Immortal Grass appeared and was sold for five top-grade spirit stones."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing was shocked.

Is it dangerous for Second Senior Sister to bring back such a valuable item alone?

As if sensing Zhou Qing's worry, Yan Xiaohu reached out and patted his shoulder, reassuring him, "There's no point in worrying. We don't even know where Second Senior Sister is. Besides, Second Senior Sister has always been very cautious. It's not an exaggeration to describe her as 'old-fashioned'. If the success rate is less than 100%, she definitely won't take the risk lightly."

After hearing what his third senior brother said, Zhou Qing agreed with it and felt relieved.

Soon, Zhou Qing seemed to remember something and asked hurriedly, "By the way, where is that female ghost?"

"What female ghost... Oh, you mean Li Shitao? She left. We were halfway through rescuing people when she saw Master appear and was so scared she turned and ran away. I have to say, I really have to thank her this time, but never mind, let's call it even."

Yan Xiaohu shook his head and said.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing didn't say anything more. He just silently hoped that his second senior sister would be safe and return soon.

The next day, after making sure that everything in the spiritual field had returned to normal, everyone, led by Mo Xingjian, set out on the journey back to the sect.

And this time, with Master's Bagua Plate, everyone no longer has to go through the trouble of flying with swords, they can just take this ride.

Zhou Qing looked at his master Mo Xingjian sitting alone in front of him, holding the letter in his hand, reading it over and over again, occasionally revealing a warm smile, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

In fact, in the eyes of the master, the four of them are the closest people. Although they always fight and dislike each other on weekdays, once they are really in danger, no matter who it is, the master will definitely protect them with his life without hesitation.

Zhou Qing turned his head and looked at his third senior brother, only to see him talking in low voices with seven true disciples, and it was unclear what they were talking about.

"Senior Brother Zhou!"

At this moment, Lu Yaoyao's voice suddenly rang out, and then she was seen with her hands behind her back, a bright smile on her face.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Qing asked.

Lu Yaoyao sat down beside him and said after a brief hesitation, "When we were in danger in the ghost town this time, I saw you take out a broken sword covered in rust. Can I... take a look at it?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qing's heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly said: "Oh, you mean that one? No need to look at it, it's just a broken sword that I picked up casually."

"I know, just touch me, please!" Lu Yaoyao pleaded earnestly.

Zhou Qing looked at her pitiful appearance and didn't know why she insisted on getting tetanus.

Logically speaking, with her knowledge, she should not be able to recognize this sword, or perhaps no one in the entire Taiqing Sect could recognize it.

I guess he was just simply curious. After all, the place was so small, and he was just sitting there idle and bored.

Well, I will take out this sword often in the future anyway, so it doesn’t hurt to take a look at it. It’s also a good opportunity to observe everyone’s reactions, especially Master’s.

Afterwards, Zhou Qing took out the tetanus.

"Be careful!" Zhou Qing reminded. Just in case, he wrapped a strip of cloth around the broken blade yesterday.

When Lu Yaoyao saw the broken sword, she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

Then she reached out and gently stroked the sword.

"It's a good sword!" Lu Yaoyao said after a long time with a sigh.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "That's too flattering."

"Oh, Old Four, where did you pick up this broken sword from? It's so shabby, isn't it?"

Just then, Yan Xiaohu came over and said jokingly.

After saying that, he reached out to grab the broken sword, but Zhou Qing quickly put it away.

"The quality of a weapon depends on the person who wields it. Don't look at this broken sword; in my hands, it might be able to produce unexpected effects. When its power reaches its peak, a speck of dust can fill the ocean, and a blade of grass can cut down the sun, moon, and stars!"

Yan Xiaohu didn't take Zhou Qing's words seriously. Instead, Mo Xingjian, who was sitting in front and controlling the Bagua plate, turned his head unexpectedly and looked at Zhou Qing.

【Heart Points + 9】

Immediately afterwards, the original note above his head, [A somewhat clever disciple], instantly changed to [A disciple with good comprehension].

"I didn't expect you to have such insights, amazing!" Mo Xingjian suddenly praised Zhou Qingdao.

Then, he glanced at the rusty broken sword and said, "Zhou Qing is right. Weapons are merely external forces we borrow. Their quality doesn't lie in their form or quality, but in the meaning and value they are given by the person who uses them."

"A seemingly ordinary, even broken, sword can shine as brightly as the sun in the hands of a fearless person. However, a magnificent and powerful weapon, in the hands of a cowardly and weak person, is nothing more than a mere decoration."

"True strength actually comes from our inner faith, courage, and perseverance. In this regard, the fourth brother is more perceptive than you!"

Zhou Qing felt embarrassed when he heard Mo Xingjian's praise.

Actually, Master, you are overthinking it. This is a magical weapon!

I don’t have such a high level of awareness.

After hearing this, Lu Yaoyao looked at Zhou Qing again, her eyes full of happiness.

Yan Xiaohu curled his lips, turned around and whispered with others.

Seeing this, Mo Xingjian shook his head helplessly and looked at Zhou Qing again, his heart full of satisfaction.

This time, the child brought him a lot of surprises.

"Master, these five corpses..."

Zhou Qing quickly changed the subject, looked at the body of the man in black thrown aside, and couldn't help asking.

Mo Xingjian shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "I've never seen them before. I think they must be a group of people secretly trained by the Cang Yan Dao Palace to deal with those shady things. Even if you bring them to Sikong Yan, you will find it difficult to confront them."

Then, he spoke in a slightly slower tone, "Don't worry. Even if we can't completely break off relations right now, we already know who ambushed our Taiqing Sect at Qingniu Ridge. We just have to find out who the other party is. Otherwise, Taiqing Sect will be left isolated and helpless."

Zhou Qing looked worried after hearing this and said he understood.

It is not his turn to consider these matters. The elders have their own decisions.

Time passed little by little, and this time, everyone returned to the sect in just five days.

As Master said, the Cang Yan Dao Palace really won't send anyone to assassinate Zhou Qing again.

After losing so many people in succession, no one would waste energy on a pawn. Moreover, who can guarantee that this pawn has other killer moves waiting for them?
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the mountain gate, I saw Li Daoxuan and He Han from Shenyue Peak, with sullen faces, standing there like two door gods.

Lu Yaoyao immediately stuck out her tongue, then handed Zhou Qing a jade slip.

"This contains all of my senior brother's experiences and insights regarding the Foundation Establishment Stage. I have read them all!"

Before Zhou Qing could refuse, Lu Yaoyao quickly jumped off the Bagua plate. Then, biting her lower lip lightly with her teeth, she nervously twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands, and walked over to the two men with her head slightly lowered. Her voice was as small as a mosquito's: "Brother... I, I was wrong."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the two of them, his eyes filled with anxiety and guilt.

Looking at the pitiful little sister, the two of them couldn't remember a single word of the scolding they had prepared in advance.

Because the original anger in my heart had disappeared by now.

Then he sighed helplessly, and Li Daoxuan reached out and gently knocked on Lu Yaoyao's head: "You, you, what can I say about you?"

Upon hearing the tone of the eldest brother, Lu Yaoyao's face immediately broke into a bright smile. She jumped up excitedly and hugged the arms of her two senior brothers.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, I knew you were the best to me!" The two were left at a loss for words by her actions. They shook their heads helplessly, their eyes full of doting.

"Meet Uncle Master!"

The two men turned their gaze to Mo Xingjian on the Bagua plate and bowed respectfully.

When they discovered that their junior sister was missing, they immediately reported it to their master. They speculated that this girl might have followed Zhou Qing to Qingmu City.

The two originally wanted to chase after her as soon as possible, but the master ordered them to stay in the sect and not go out, and also said that the little junior sister would be fine.

The two were a little confused before, but now when they saw Mo Xingjian, they immediately understood.

Mo Xingjian nodded slightly and asked, "Is the headmaster here?"

"Replying to Uncle Master, Master is in Chengtian Palace today!"

After Mo Xingjian nodded, he put Zhou Qing and others down, and then took the five corpses straight to Shenyue Peak.

"Boss!"

At this moment, a figure ran out happily from the mountain gate. Who else could it be but Niu Guangmo?

"beat!"

Before Niu Guangmo could get close, Yan Xiaohu and his men rushed over, and immediately they started punching and kicking him, making Niu Guangmo scream in pain.

"I'm also a victim. My face was stung like that."

"Brothers, please be gentle. I haven't been able to eat or sleep these days. I've been worried about you."

"Boss, don't blame me. I already hinted to you before I left that day!"

……

Looking at this scene, Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head.

【Heart Points + 7】

[Skill Fragment + 1]

At this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly rang in my ears.

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly filled with ecstasy.

After such a long time, new skill fragments have been refreshed in the field of [Mind's Vision]. It's incredible.

Now, which of his innate skills [Daily Review], [Reduce Presence], and [Mind's Vision] is not against the will of heaven?
I am really curious, what kind of skill will be synthesized by this fourth skill fragment?

Then, Zhou Qing looked over quickly and soon saw Li Daoxuan staring at him with an unhappy look on his face.

The image of him as "a lecher with a shameless senior brother" was now changed to "a lecher who kidnaps and traffics people."

No, how could I be considered a human trafficker?
It was obviously your junior sister who followed me secretly. Since you helped me refresh the skill fragments this time, I won’t bother with you.

"Let's go!" Zhou Qing said hello to Lu Yaoyao and went to separate them.

After all, Niu Guangmo's face became bruised and swollen again.

"Yushantang must treat us!" said Yan Xiaohu.

Niu Guangmo sniffed and said, "If you want to go, please go. Whoever is afraid of who will go? Let's go now. Whoever doesn't go is a grandson. But you have to take out the jar of good wine that you treasure."

"Take it, let's go!" Then everyone went straight to the Jade Kitchen.

In the evening, Zhou Qing finally returned to his cabin, feeling safe.

It’s true that no matter how good a place you have, it’s not as good as your own doghouse.

Along the way, the old hen had been eating the spiritual rice brought back from Qingmu City. Now that there was no one around, he could finally feed it the spiritual stone powder and the blood Tai Sui meat together.

Afterwards, he took out the blood-colored spirit egg, felt the pure blood energy inside again, then quickly sat cross-legged and began to absorb it.

This absorption was not a big deal, but it shocked Zhou Qing.

"What a wonderful blood energy! Not only does it greatly benefit the growth of my spiritual power, it also rapidly strengthens my bones and meridians. At this rate, if I get six or seven more, I can definitely break through to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Zhou Qing was overjoyed. Feeling his blood becoming boiling hot and active, he increased the speed of absorption...

At the same time, Jinyang Peak!

In the dim room, Peak Master Gao Xuan sat quietly at the table, carefully wiping a spirit tablet with a piece of soft cloth.

The strange thing was that there was not a single word on the spirit tablet, but he wiped it very carefully and attentively, and each stroke was filled with endless tenderness.

Under the candlelight, one could seem to see tears flickering faintly in the corners of his eyes, his eyes filled with sadness and longing.

"Have you really thought it through?" A voice suddenly came from the darkness.

Gao Xuan gently placed the spirit tablet on the table, staring at it for a long time, silent.

After a sigh, the figure in the darkness quietly left.

…………

The next day, Yan Xiaohu called Zhou Qing to the mission hall, handed over the mission, and collected the points.

"Okay, I still need to ask the head teacher to reimburse the expenses for this trip, so I'll be leaving now!"

After Yan Xiaohu finished speaking, he walked towards the top of Shenyue Peak.

Zhou Qing simply went to the Collection Pavilion to find some techniques to gather energy.

Because this morning the old hen laid another bloody egg for him.

You know, I just fed the blood hen some meat last night. It seems that the egg-laying efficiency is closely related to what the old hen eats.

At this rate of progress, it would probably not take more than a few days for him to successfully break through to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If you advance too quickly, you can easily get away with explaining it, but it will attract some people's attention and cause trouble, which is always not good.

Just as the second senior sister always told him, being low-key, low-key and low-key again is the key to survival.

However, in this regard, the eldest senior brother Gui Ao is completely opposite to the second senior sister.

What he advocates is to show off without reservation and to become as famous as possible.

Only in this way can you obtain more cultivation resources and attract the attention of other geniuses.

When it is time to fight, we will fight; when it is time to kill, we will kill; we will advance all the way and spread the name of my Ghost Mastiff.

After all, a person's rise is through growth in fighting.

Just like when Yan Xiaohu encountered a crisis, when the other party heard that he was Guimao's junior brother, he immediately smiled and said, "Give your senior brother your regards. I am XXX. We will have a chance to fight again somewhere in the future."

How should I put it? They each have their merits. But Zhou Qing now has the number one Heavenly Qi, and in the future he will have double elixirs and three flowers gathered at the top of his head. After thinking about it, he decided to follow the second senior sister's style of doing things.

After all, he has already tried this trick of his senior brother. The Cang Yan Dao Palace has endless assassinations and never plays by the rules. If you have the guts, come and fight someone of the same level as you and have a good fight.

Soon, Zhou Qing spent two hundred sect points and temporarily borrowed a book on the Qi-gathering technique called "Turtle Breathing Technique".

In the next few days, the old hen laid a blood egg almost stably every day, and Zhou Qing absorbed and refined it as soon as possible while it was still warm.

As the seventh day arrived, Zhou Qing took out the last blood egg from the chicken coop with excitement on his face, because his spiritual power had reached its peak.

"Chicken, you are so beautiful!" Zhou Qing hugged the old hen and kissed it to make sure it was healthy and there were no toxins left in its body.

I originally wanted to feed him some spirit stone powder, but gave up after a brief hesitation.

Although the bloody Tai Sui's flesh is gone now, we can't squeeze it like Zhou Paopi. Look, its butt has been swollen these days.

It’s better to take a good rest for a while.

Afterwards, Zhou Qing got it some spiritual rice and water, and began his retreat again.

That night, as a powerful aura suddenly spread out from the courtyard and then quickly gathered, Zhou Qing slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were full of excitement.

At this moment, the spiritual core in his body has expanded more than twice as much as before, and a steady stream of spiritual energy surges out of it, flowing through his limbs and bones.

The blood and energy have reached an unprecedented level.

"The Foundation Establishment Realm is fully accomplished!" Zhou Qing muttered to himself, overjoyed. Afterwards, he quickly used the "Turtle Breathing Technique" to consolidate his position in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

After a night, Zhou Qing, in a good mood, looked at the red token in his hand and came to the Collection Pavilion again, trying to find clues about the [Shenxu Heavenly Palace].

However, he searched around but found no record at all.

"Could it be that even the Taiqing Sect doesn't know about this secret realm?" Zhou Qing was a little shocked.

When it was first appraised, the information clearly described that there were countless opportunities in the Shenxu Heavenly Palace. After all, there were only nine keys.

"What are you looking for?" At this moment, a white-haired elder who was guarding the Collection Pavilion asked from the upper floor while sweeping the dust with a feather duster.

Zhou Qing quickly saluted and said, "I've found it. Thank you for your concern, Elder!"

After saying this, he hurriedly left the Collection Pavilion.

"Senior Brother Zhou!"

As Zhou Qing just walked out, a surprised voice sounded from the side.
