Beauty helps me achieve immortality

……

There was no distinction between day and night in the secret realm trial, so Zhao Qing and his companions naturally watched it for three full days.

At first they thought that the Blood Son Trial was nothing special, and even if Zhao Qing took it alone, he could easily win the championship.

After all, Zhao Qing possesses the foundation of the Seven-Colored Dao Sea, and the spiritual power techniques he displays are completely overwhelming for those in the Foundation Establishment Realm, not to mention the Heart-Burning Divine Ability blessed by the Heavenly Dao Fragments... which can make the spiritual power so powerful that it is terrifying.

Even if facing a Blood-Robed Monk at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, he could still fight two or three at once. He only needed to be careful not to have his spiritual sense completely crushed...

Because he can divide his spiritual consciousness into scattered imprints, when the spiritual consciousness in the Niwan Palace is exhausted, he has the opportunity to retrieve the spiritual imprints to provide temporary support. This is considered to be making the best use of his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses.

Of course, this was just the initial idea of ​​my aunt and Shuyue.

But as time went on, the situation in the secret realm became more and more subtle, making Xiaoyi and Hongning unsure which side would gain the upper hand.

Although there were only more than 140 people entering the trial, the endless variety of bizarre methods... were enough to broaden Zhao Qing's horizons.

Among them, we are not talking about those with extraordinary strength, or even those who have cultivated the Phoenix Emperor's legacy and have unmatched physical bodies.

After much discussion, Zhao Qing and his family discovered that in order to win this kind of trial, one does not need to win every battle. Sometimes one even has to give in repeatedly to preserve strength, hoping to win in the final battle.

The people participating in the trial are strong and weak. At this moment, Zhao Qing only feels that the strength of the strong ones is bland, while the means of the weak ones are really diverse!

The trial of the Blood Robe is different from the trip to the Purple Pearl Pill Tower. It does not value any talent from plants or trees...most of the time it depends entirely on fighting and robbing.

But there are many things to pay attention to when fighting for something.

For example, someone excelled in the art of formations, but instead of using them to protect themselves, they used them to seal off the largest Twin Yang Stone Mine, and then used a Dust Sealing Formation to obscure divine senses and conceal all other smaller mines...

After all, according to the rules of the trial, the final ranking is determined by the number of Twin Yang Stones in the disciple's hand.

Although people can't grab more, they can make others dig less!

There are also cultivators who are proficient in refining weapons. They directly disguised dozens of underground stone mines with the methods of the weapon. Their behavior is similar to the former, and their main purpose is to coax and deceive.

In addition to this ingenuity and skill, the competition among everyone is also very exciting.

Previously, Ji Bing was targeted when he was mining. He was like a mantis catching a cicada, and then dozens of monks came together to take advantage of the situation and rob him.

Those who join forces will join forces, those who walk alone will walk alone, and those who walk alone may suddenly join forces, and those monks who join forces may also be backstabbed by their companions.

Some follow the crowd and fish in troubled waters, watching the fire from the other side of the river and waiting for the enemy to tire. Some play hard to get, showing weakness to the enemy, and wait for the fish to take the bait. Some even climb up the roof and pull out the ladder to take the initiative...

That’s nothing.

What is even more outrageous is that Shen Mo actually teamed up with Chu State, Li State, Qixia State, Liuli Island... a total of sixteen good friends, to crowdfund the spiritual mine and equally share the top 8 million blood-stained robe contribution.

These sixteen people even beat the five Qu Yunzhou masters who followed them to the point that they could not take care of themselves, and they shouted to give up the trial and demand to leave.

……

Zhao Qing and his family stared silently at the formation mirror, observing the final struggle of this trial.

Qinghuan was occasionally asked to sleep and rest, but most of the time she forced herself to stay by his side.

Meng Xue casually glanced at the formation mirror and chuckled, "What insights do you have?"

What are your thoughts?

Zhao Qing took another look at the scene in the formation mirror with a strange look on his face. Now the dozens of remaining cultivators no longer fought or competed with each other, but were frantically destroying the earth veins and stone mines, just hoping that others would not get anything.

He whispered, "The actions of the winner are hard to emulate, but the experience of the loser is worth pondering."

Zhao Qing knew very well that Blood God Peak had allowed him to be a spectator, not to see how others won, but because they were able to win because of their strength...

It was more to allow him to get a glimpse of the entire trial, learn from various failures, and absorb the lessons.

But actually.

Zhao Qing didn't learn much from the whole thing after watching it. Instead, he learned a lot of cunning tricks, such as using someone else's knife to kill someone and fanning the flames... He just felt that he was much more cruel than he was three days ago.

At this moment, he pondered and continued to tell Senior Sister Meng about his insights.

"Instead of blindly competing, it is better to remain calm and reflect. First, put yourself in an invincible position, observe the changes and use your calmness to control them. Only then can you navigate the chaos with ease."

"While many of these strange and ingenious tactics are ingenious, the strong will always be strong, and they won't be affected too much. The few instances where the weak can defeat the strong are merely avoiding the strong and attacking the weak... They don't mean much to me."

"As for the question of reality and illusion, my spiritual power is now fully condensed and my Qi is abundant. The only thing is that my three palaces are unstable and my consciousness is a little weak. This is the most difficult flaw to make up for right now. If I enter the Dragon Abyss, I will definitely become a weak target for others to attack."

Zhao Qing analyzed the situation carefully and stressed that his spiritual awareness was a shortcoming, so he asked his senior sister for help.

His spiritual sense is naturally not weak in the Foundation Establishment Realm, but if he faces the Blood Son of Ninety States... it is not enough, or even far behind.

Hong Ning and Aunt Shuyue exchanged glances, and someone added, "In the mortal world, there are also evil soul flags that can eat away at one's mind and shake Tianchong. My Tianxiang disciples, who have cultivated the Seven Souls, are not afraid of them, but if Zhao Qing were to encounter them... I'm afraid they would be difficult to deal with."

Meng Xue nodded slightly, and said with a pleased smile: "But what method are you missing? Xueshen Peak will find it for you."

She had lived for hundreds of years, so of course she understood what Zhao Qing meant. Moreover, as the son of Yongning, Blood God Peak should do its best to support him in his journey to Longyuan... Even if they put aside the affection of being from the same state and bloodline, the interests of both parties were completely consistent.

Zhao Qing glanced at the ongoing dispute in the formation mirror, knowing that Meng Xue didn't care who would win, after all, Blood God Peak was waiting for Long Yuan.

At this moment, he directly relayed Zhang Jinyi's suggestion.

"When I met Senior Sister Zhang in Mingshang, I received a lot of advice. Right now, I urgently need to practice the 'Nerve Refining' and the 'Seven Silent Heart Guarding Secret Techniques'."

Hearing this, Meng Xue's heart moved slightly.

She naturally knew that Senior Sister Zhang appeared in Mingshang. She was the one who was in charge of this generation of Longyuan Competition. She had already given Zhao Qing some advice... ?

The woman's beautiful eyes flickered with a faint light as she whispered, "'Refining the Spiritual Senses' is a method of the Liyan lineage. Senior Brother Pang Zhen should have this spiritual consciousness secret in his collection. You can obtain it after the trial is over. There's no need to exchange it with Liyan's disciples."

"As for 'Seven Silent Minds Guarding the Heart', it's not some secret technique, but a scroll from the Bodhi Tower. Once I find it, I'll pass it on to the Chu State through the Blood Robe Merchants Shop. Just wait patiently."

Seeing that Blood God Peak had solved a big problem, Zhao Qing naturally showed joy on his face and thanked his senior sister repeatedly.

In fact, he himself had practiced "Nerve Refining" and had already reached the pinnacle of it. Qinghuan also used this method to cultivate his spiritual consciousness.

This was the Class A reward for the third level trial of the Purple Pearl Pill Tower. It was quite ingenious and magical, using spiritual consciousness to evolve into an alchemy furnace for cultivation, using the pill to refine the spirit and using the spirit to refine the pill.

But this method had obviously been modified by the Zizhu lineage. Using it to refine pills and cultivate the spirit would be of great benefit to alchemists. However, Zhao Qing would soon enter Longyuan, so he couldn't just keep refining pills at home every day...

Only by obtaining the original copy of "Refining the Nerves" from Li Yan's lineage can one make up for one's own shortcomings as much as possible.

After the method is completed, compared with the alchemy furnace evolved by spiritual consciousness... swords, spears, swords and halberds, weapons of spiritual consciousness, are obviously more practical.

As for the scripture of "Seven Silent Minds", he himself knew very little about it, so he could only think about it carefully after getting it.

Outside the Blood Temple.

During these three days, many Yujing monks left one after another.

Especially those who came from other states, they wanted to see what was so strange about the Azure Dragon entering the life, but Zhao Qing did not show up, so there was nothing to watch.

Although everyone was curious when they talked privately, no one raised any questions.

After all, Blood God Peak was Blood Robe's territory, and whether Zhao Qing should participate in the trial was decided by the Blood Robe lineage, and was not subject to scrutiny or oversight by other lineages...

However, many Yujing monks stayed behind to continue watching and waiting for the end of the Blood Son Trial.

Most of these people are good friends of the Blood-Clothed Disciple. They are here purely for the fun of watching the show. They want to see how strong their friend is now, or just want to watch him make a fool of himself and join in the fun.

In this remote Yongning, it is a rare opportunity for Yujing disciples to gather together, so everyone stayed to eat and drink and make friends.

Qin Chuxin, Chen Changsheng, Cheng Yue and other disciples of Yujing from earlier generations were still sitting still, discussing the recent changes in the Chu State. Naturally, the most talked about topic was the matter of Empress Si You.

The new generation of disciples, including Luo Xianning and Su He, were wandering around Liao State, spending no more than two hours on the Blood God Peak every day - Bai Wanqiu and Liu Zijing were among them.

Now there is only half a day left until the end of the trial.

There were only four Yuanying left in the place where the Chu State gathered, and the rest went out in groups of two or three and temporarily left this boring place.

Qin Chuxin's three thousand black hair was tied into a Taoist bun, and she was wearing a plain robe, still dressed like a Taoist nun.

Her spiritual awareness was vast, constantly observing every movement and stillness on the Blood God Peak. She silently transmitted a message to the three of them, "We still underestimated the special nature of Azure Dragon entering our lives."

"There has been no news of Zhao Qing in the past two days. At least a dozen Jindan Yuanying cultivators have left Blood God Peak."

Cheng Yue: ???

He had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, so naturally he didn't notice much that was unusual.

He asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Qin, are you saying... that these dozen people are here to kill Zhao Qing?"

Chen Changsheng's sword eyes narrowed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he nodded slightly and chuckled, "At least three forces, among them there are obviously people from my Nine Swords lineage, and there are also people from Tianxiang."

"Zhao Qing met the Blood-Robed Fifth Walker in Mingshang, and Xian Ning also saw that extraordinary woman. Once this matter gets out... it will inevitably attract countless hostile glances."

"The Blood Robe's walking battle has clearly deviated from the Blood Robe's own bloodline's competition."

The blood-stained walk is really special, but also very ordinary.

It's just... a little more money.

Qin Chuxin pondered and said, "Those people are obviously from aristocratic families in large states. Our fourteen states in the southeast do not have such background and courage."

"Even if they don't kill Zhao Qing, they will at least do something to him."

"With the Queen in Chu, they dare not act rashly and can only wait and see for an opportunity."

Chen Changsheng looked puzzled. Wasn't the Empress of Siyou Sect spiritually defective? How could she have such a powerful deterrent?

The woman beside Cheng Yue chuckled and said, "I wonder why Fellow Daoist Qin admires the Queen of Chu so much?"

Qin Chuxin was silent for a moment, then he murmured carefully, "On the day the divine sword was destroyed, I watched through the wall and saw it, and even though my spiritual consciousness traveled thousands of miles, I still couldn't see it clearly."

"But at least I can sense... someone once stopped that white-haired woman. The method used to create that spatial vibration is very similar to the one we encountered in the Withered Peach Secret Realm."

"People from Lanqingji?" Cheng Yue asked with his mind focused.

Qin Chuxin didn't comment, but turned to look at Chen Changsheng and said with a smile: "But the divine sword still sank. Besides, there has been movement in Heyang Mountain."

Chen Changsheng's expression was calm, his emotions invisible. He simply analyzed in a voice transmission, "So, Blood God Peak had already sensed this, and someone in the Trial Secret Realm would have joined forces to harm Zhao Qing. That's why Zhao Qing didn't show up."

Qin Chuxin frowned slightly and suggested, "Why don't we return to Chu State early and wait around Danxia City?"

"Senior Brother Pang Zhen will definitely send Zhao Qing back to Chu State himself. Isn't he curious about Empress Si You?"

Cheng Yue slowly shook his head: "I still need to take Buyi with me to accompany Junior Sister to the Danying Fort in Li Country, so I probably can't go with you."

Chen Changsheng glanced at Cheng Yue and his wife, knowing that he was even more afraid of the Empress. After all, they had been neighbors for decades without any movement...

"Let's just forget about it. When Siyou Sect starts accepting disciples in the future, we can go visit together."

Compared to Qin Chuxin and Cheng Yue, Chen Changsheng was obviously not panicked at all.

It was he who gave the four counties of Siyou Sect today, Xianning was still an elder of Siyou Sect, and it was he who gave the Zhou family the throne... It no longer mattered to him whether he visited Empress Siyou or not.

……

at the same time.

In a small courtyard deep in the Blood God Temple, a man appeared out of nowhere. It was undoubtedly Pang Zhen.

He came back without saying a word, but just leaned quietly on the first seat, watching the formation mirror rising and falling in the courtyard.

Zhao Qing's family naturally greeted him again, and Meng Xue also chuckled and called him "senior brother".

Her red lemon eyes flickered, her heart full of doubts.

Isn’t this Senior Brother Pang Zhen presiding over the trial in the secret realm?

Now that the trial is not over yet, why did he suddenly come back...

Pang Zhen silently observed the formation mirror for a long time before turning to look at Zhao Qing. He examined him carefully and asked slowly, "Do you plan to stay here and practice for the next six months, or return to Chu?"

Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and he instantly grasped something unusual.

What the hell...

Could it be true that there are still some traitors out there trying to kill me?!

Without any hesitation, he replied directly, "Disciple intends to return to Shouyun Mountain."

"Alright."

Pang Zhen responded casually, then fell into silence again, leaving Zhao Qing a little confused.

For a moment, the green pines in the courtyard swayed, but the atmosphere seemed a little dull. Even Meng Xue stopped talking and laughing, and just communicated with Pang Zhen through telepathy.

After a full incense stick of time.

Pang Zhencai took out a jade slip and threw it out: "This is Li Yan's nerve refining method. It can be practiced and used before the Nascent Soul stage. More advanced techniques are not passed on to others."

"The Seven Silent Heart Sutra will be delivered to the Blood Robe Tower in Siyou City within ten days. You can just go and pick it up."

After saying that, he nodded slightly at Meng Xue.

The woman immediately smiled, took out a jade bracelet, took two steps forward, jokingly took Shuyue's small hand, and put it on her fair wrist.

"The annual profit share from the Chu State is not much, only about 700,000 spirit stones."

"In addition to this, the Eighth Blood Son's share of profits is over 1.5 million per year."

"Blood God Peak will grant you ten years first. After that, you can no longer ask Senior Sister for money..."

Zhao Qing:! ?

Does this even include an advance on salary?

He was stunned for a moment, then sent a soothing message to Shuyue, while bowing and thanking her: "Thank you, senior brother and sister, for the gift!"

This really can't be considered a salary, it can only be said to be a gift from Blood God Peak.

Obviously, it is also related to the Azure Dragon entering his life and Zhang Jinyi's appearance. If he can become a walking... then these more than 20 million spirit stones will be a timely help at this moment, although he is not short of resources now.

If I fail to become a walking... I will just be a blood son of Yongning and won't have to collect any salary for the next ten years.

Instantly, I heard Ning Mei's playful voice: "Pay back the money!"

Zhao Qing: ...

"Isn't this enough to pay back?"

Hearing Zhao Qing's thanks, Pang Zhen chuckled and nodded, then said, "After I report to the Fifth Walker, your Blood Jade Token will change and can be exchanged for Blood Son-level resources and techniques."

"One of them, the 'Dye Flower Transformation', is extremely useful. When you exchange it for the blood jade, someone will deliver it to the Blood Clothes Tower of Chu."

Pang Zhen did not stop talking and took out a huge bluestone carving and suspended it in the air. On it was a lifelike blue dragon, with a pair of scarlet blood eyes that looked cold and weird.

"Put this thing away, and you should know what it is used for."

Zhao Qing understood this was a normal handover, and after responding, he immediately placed the inheritance dragon carving into his storage ring. Originally, there was only one such stone wall in the Chu State, located in the Blood Clothes Tower of Changsheng Square... Now, as a blood son, he could carry one with him.

After Pang Zhen looked at Zhao Qing again and again, he turned his gaze to Hong Ning.

Red Lemon's eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed and saluted: "Senior Brother."

"Um……"

The man just responded softly, then looked at Xiaoyi, paused for a few seconds, and then looked at Shuyue...

Finally, he sighed and said, "Qinghuan, come here."

Gu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment. She only had time to look at Zhao Qing for a moment before she heard Pang Zhen's laughter: "The dragon blood in you seems to be different from ours?"

Upon hearing this, not only did Aunt Zhao Qing look at each other secretly, even Meng Xue seemed to be filled with surprise, and it was obvious that she had no idea what Senior Brother Pang was talking about.

A powerful blood energy instantly emanated from her body, and her pair of scarlet eyes looked at Gu Qinghuan...
