Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 157 It turns out to be money for life

late autumn.

Behind the lonely house in the north of Lanxian Town, the withered yellow leaves all over the mountains were picked up by the autumn wind, flying and chasing each other, and no one knew where they were going.

The clear canal still flows like spring.

But the autumn wind has withered the green willows, leaving only dry and withered branches hanging down.

From the deep forest, bursts of breaking air sounds came from the sky.

The spear danced wildly, unable to figure out its true or false position. At the end of the cold edge was a bit of spiritual light, which seemed to be able to pierce through everything.

The slender spear spine sometimes swept across the autumn wind, and the dead leaves in the sky turned into fine rain.

The majestic and comfortable stick technique seemed to stir up the clouds, and a chill filled the area within ten feet around him.

The sound of the spear tip cutting through bluestone, gold and iron was short and sharp, like the cry of a flying bird.

At this moment, Zhao Qing's body seemed to have become one with the Changkong Spear. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and anyone looking into their eyes would feel terrified.

[Gain proficiency in Flowing Cloud Staff Technique: 1]

[Xun·Liuyun: Comprehensive and Perfect (12/1000)]

He slowly stopped his movements and stood still with the gun in his back hand.

His spiritual sense swept across the surrounding area for a hundred feet, but there was no unusual movement... The townspeople could not sense the surging spiritual energy, and the sound could not be transmitted that far.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Qing raised his hand again and held the gun in one hand.

The spiritual consciousness in the Niwan Palace emerged, and the art of communicating with the netherworld was performed.

The spiritual energy in the body no longer follows the meridian path of the Five Elements, and even the nourishment of the Taoist foundation has stagnated.

Strands of spiritual energy began to flow from the dantian, and the Liuyun military technique was put into operation.

【Li Tongyou: Perfection and Reaching the Pinnacle (852/)】

[Xun·Liuyun: Comprehensive and Perfect (12/1000)]

On the panel in front of him, the words "Li" and "Xun" slowly overlapped, like ink smudges.

Zhao Qing pointed the spear in his hand, and the extremely condensed spiritual consciousness in the Niwan Palace surged out like a wild horse breaking free from its reins.

The next moment, the ground ten feet in front of him suddenly sank half a foot deep...

Silent!

[Fire Wind Cauldron: Use all your spiritual consciousness to develop a tremendous force to subdue and kill the enemy.]

"call……"

Zhao Qing breathed softly and checked the sunken land ahead.

Although it is only half a foot deep, any cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining can have such killing power.

but……

This is the power evolved from the divine consciousness. It does not rely on blood or spiritual power. To achieve this level is already extremely terrifying.

You know, when he first entered the realm of spiritual cultivation, it was extremely difficult for him to use his spiritual consciousness to touch his wife's makeup box...

At this moment, Zhao Qing looked relaxed, and his spiritual sense swept across the house outside the forest.

Qinghuan was meditating and practicing, preparing for a breakthrough at Yuzhen Pass.

Shuyue was playing chess with her aunt...

After arriving in Lanxian Town, his wife was in a somewhat abnormal state.

She discovered that Qinghuan not only understood the music of the zither, but her dancing was also graceful and elegant. Her graceful demeanor was evident in the swaying of her sleeves.

My aunt is an excellent chess player and has a meticulous mind... Not only does she come from a prominent family, but she is also willing to be a concubine.

This made Shuyue feel very uncomfortable, so she often played chess with her aunt and learned music from Qinghuan...

Zhao Qing withdrew his consciousness and calmed his mind.

Both "Splitting Mountains" and "Flowing Clouds" are military techniques, but the meridians through which spiritual energy circulates are different, so they cannot be performed at the same time.

However, the defensive techniques that I have practiced these days can be tried in combination with Tongyou.

As his mind moved slightly, a panel appeared in front of him.

[Li·Tongyou][Kun·The True Meaning of the Snake]

[Fire Earth Advancement: Use one's own spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy to stir the earth veins, connecting them to the earth fire that explodes and rises.]

Zhao Qing stood quietly in the forest, the art of communicating with the dead still blessing his consciousness.

The meridians through which spiritual energy flows in the body have quietly changed.

When the "Snake-Elephant True Meaning" was performed, strands of spiritual energy connected to form a light curtain, like waves surrounding it, completely protecting it. While resisting spiritual weapons, it could also take advantage of the momentum to counterattack at any time.

The next moment, there were explosions for no reason within several feet of the body, like thunder.

Rays of flames flickered, as if a dragon was pouring out its anger. The dirt and mud in the mountains and forests suddenly flew like rain, and holes appeared on the ground one after another.

Zhao Qing narrowed his sword eyes slightly and then restrained his spiritual energy.

This Fire Earth Jin is suitable for using the true meaning of the Snake Elephant to defend... and to trick others.

【Li·Tongyou】【Xun·Spring breeze turns into rain】

[Fire Wind Cauldron: Use all your spiritual consciousness to develop a tremendous force to subdue and kill the enemy.]

The Divine Art of Spring Breeze Transforming Rain, which connects and entangles with spiritual consciousness, can control the thoughts of others...

After a brief attempt, Zhao Qing gave up on this unusual combination technique.

Although it is also the Fire Wind Cauldron, it abandons the spiritual energy of the spear technique and instead uses the spiritual consciousness to temporarily control the enemy, and then directly releases the spiritual consciousness to kill.

Although it looks great, it requires extremely high combat conditions when used against the enemy.

After all, unleashing your spiritual consciousness against the enemy is itself a rather suicidal way of fighting.

As for the final "Blood Refining Beginning"...

It is a secret method that forcibly condenses spiritual energy at the cost of blood and energy.

Zhao Qing took three Baohua Yulu pills without any hesitation.

Before consuming Qi and blood, it is safer to replenish Qi and blood first...

【Li·Tongyou】【Li·Xuelian】

When Zhao Qing sensed something strange in his body, his qi and blood had already surged out from his heart meridians and circulated throughout his body.

It seemed that he became more sensitive to the spiritual energy around him. The spiritual energy in his dantian that originally nourished his Taoist foundation began to vibrate and gradually became fuller.

The next moment, his brows jumped and he looked at the panel in front of him and fell into deep thought.

【Li represents fire! 】

There is no introduction at all, but Zhao Qing no longer needs any introduction.

Because the fire spiritual root in his Taoist foundation seemed to be injected with hormones at this moment, rapidly absorbing the spiritual energy used to nourish the Taoist foundation, and a burning sensation rose in his dantian.

The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be assimilated and also became restless.

The next moment, the autumn wind blew gently.

Spiritual fire rose from the mountain, covering the grass and trees for a hundred feet, and instantly set the entire mountain behind his home on fire...

Zhao Qing was in the flames, wrapped in spiritual energy... He only felt that his breath was extremely hot, and the spiritual energy in his body was rapidly flowing away, like a river with the floodgates opened, and he could not suppress it at all.

This is actually a magical skill for group attack!

In the house in the north of the town, Zhou Xiaoyi gently twisted the chess piece in her hand, with a thoughtful look on her face.

At this moment, her brows furrowed instantly, and her spiritual sense swept towards the mountain behind the house.

Wang Shuyue raised her head instantly and said in a lost voice, "My husband..."

My aunt rushed out of the yard without saying a word, and performed a series of spiritual techniques, exerting the power of her top-grade water spiritual root to the fullest extent.

The cleared canal and stopped the flow turned into extremely fine rain and mist, which stopped the spread of the fire in time and controlled it within a few dozen feet.

Her beautiful eyes glanced anxiously down the mountain. At this moment, many townspeople had already left their homes...

Zhou Xiaoyi: ...

What on earth is this idiot Zhao Qing doing!?

"Master!"

"Where are you, my husband?"

"Shuyue! There's a fire in the mountains!"

"Bu Niang! Hurry up and call for help to put out the fire!"

Urgent cries rang out in the north of the town.

She gritted her teeth, removed the spiritual energy that protected her body, and rushed into the fire.

It happened in the blink of an eye. Zhao Qing was now standing there in a daze, trying hard to suppress the fire spirit root in his body.

"Cough cough!"

"cough!"

"Suppress the fire spirit root, otherwise this fire will be unstoppable and even Shuyue won't be able to get close...it will burn people to death!"

Zhao Qing looked at his embarrassed aunt and saw that the hem of her brocade robe had been burned clean.

His upper body and hair were wet.

After a full cup of tea, Zhao Qingcai forcibly suppressed the loss of spiritual energy in his body... but in fact, there was no need to suppress it.

Because the Dantian has become empty.

Fortunately, the foundation of Taoism has not been fully nurtured, and the spiritual power is sealed within it and does not flow out with the magic formula.

Two hours later.

A dozen elderly women sat in Zhao Qing's house, panting.

Wooden barrels and basins were scattered around, and everyone's feet were covered in mud.

The fire on the back mountain has been completely subdued... Fortunately, there is a clearing channel nearby, and the fire can be extinguished by simply diverting the channel water along the mountain crevice.

Zhao Qing forced a smile on his face and thanked him repeatedly.

The fire was seen by everyone, so it would not be appropriate to ask my aunt to put it out completely, as it would only cause bigger problems.

If things don't go well, we have to move...

Le Shanren cleared his throat and frowned, saying, "Xiaoqing, you originally lived in the county town, so you don't know much about the mountains."

“If the pond in the south of the town overflows during the rainy season, the water will need to be diverted.”

"Although you live on higher ground here and don't have such concerns, living near the mountains and the dry weather in autumn can easily cause wildfires..."

"Wait until Tiexin comes back. The county will find some strong men to build a wall around your house to prevent any fires from happening again at night."

Zhao Qing: ...

He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He was a cultivator who was about to establish his foundation, but he had to rely on mortals for care. Wasn't this just torturing others?

At this moment, he whispered, "Thank you, Uncle Le. Xiaoqing will take note of it."

Wang Shuyue took out a few pairs of new shoes, stuffed them into everyone's arms, and said crisply, "Stay for dinner later. Qinghuan bought some venison in the county."

……

In the kitchen, Gu Qinghuan took some of Baohua's medicinal materials to prepare a medicinal meal and added it to the boiling pot.

It can at least have a certain improvement effect on the physical fitness of mortals.

It was not until the evening that Zhao Qing saw off the last guest in his home.

The gate is closed.

My aunt asked coldly, "What's going on?"

Zhao Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "While studying the spiritual skills, I accidentally triggered the spiritual roots in my foundation."

Gu Qinghuan stood aside with a smile on her face. She didn't care when her master was scolded and just ate her fried dough twist.

Wang Shuyue curled her lips and said, "Husband, don't forget that you are almost at the stage of building your foundation."

"Even Shuyue couldn't get close to the wildfire this morning. Fortunately, Xiaoyi rushed over in time."

Zhou Xiaoyi's expression was uncertain as she slowly walked forward to straighten her man's clothes.

He said softly, "Don't be too anxious. There's still a long time before Xue Yi's next assessment..."

After careful consideration, she added, "Actually, you won't get killed or injured in a fight. Even if you do get hurt, there will always be someone to help you."

"I kept it a secret before just so you could focus on your cultivation."

"If there really was danger, Xiaoyi wouldn't let her man rush forward..."

ha! ?

Fighting and strife without being killed! ?

is it possible?

Seeing Zhao Qing's look of doubt, Zhou Xiaoyi took out a communication jade...

It belongs to the musician from Tianxiang Tower.

"Miss Zhou, don't worry. The Blood Robe test will be held within the Changsheng Sword Sect... The seniors in the building will go together."

The seniors in the building will go together! ?

Tianxiang Tower?

Zhao Qing was a little confused. What did Xueyi's assessment have to do with Tianxiang?

Zhou Xiaoyi said slowly, "For this piece of information, we spent eight thousand spirit stones at Tianxiang Tower."

"According to my guess... a portion of the 30,000 spirit stones spent on the Blood Robe Assessment should have gone to Tianxiang Tower."

"The path of heavenly fragrance has different practices, including zither music, spiritual awareness, enchantment, harmony, the way of fragrance, and so on."

"The female cultivators in Tianxiang Tower are not only able to assist in cultivation, but it is said that those who have received the true teachings can also fight in battle. Not only can they help people recover their spiritual energy and consciousness, but even healing their injuries is no problem."

Zhao Qing nodded silently.

I understand, it's a supporting nurse...

Damn, it turns out that the 30,000 contributions required for the assessment are money to buy one’s life!

But then again, why was Xue Yi's assessment held at the Changsheng Sword Sect?!

Zhao Qing was puzzled: "Could it be that the Changsheng Sword Sect is also related to the Blood Robe?"

My aunt frowned and thought, also puzzled.
