Chapter 40 Demonic Invasion
Zhou Yiqiao raised his sword eyebrows lightly and looked at Qing Jimeng who was once again calm and unruffled.
The monk's spiritual sense will issue a warning after being scanned by his spiritual consciousness. Qing Jimeng naturally discovered Zhou Yiqiao's behavior. She knew why Zhou Yiqiao did what he did, and her face became a little colder.
Qing Jimeng retracted the cold air she released and spoke in a cold tone.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou may not know that releasing his spiritual consciousness at will to spy on the other party is taboo in the world of immortality."
Zhou Yiqiao was still immersed in joy at this moment. He never thought that the Wheel of Qi Refining Technique would break through to the fifth level, leading him to break through the bottleneck of the eighth level of Qi Refining.
After reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining, the spiritual consciousness that has long been comparable to that of ordinary Foundation-Building monks can actually be exuded from the body like a real Foundation-Building monk!
When three happy things came to his door, Zhou Yiqiao didn't care about the cold tone of the person in front of him, and explained in a warm voice.
"I also ask fellow Taoist Qing to atone for my sins. I never thought that with a mere cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refining, I would be able to release my spiritual consciousness like a foundation-building monk. For a moment, I couldn't help but feel joyful and lost my sense of proportion. .”
Qing Jimeng didn't seem to accept his excuse. She opened her red lips and spoke a rare sarcastic comment.
"In the world of immortality, many people with strong spiritual consciousness can reach the level of releasing their spiritual consciousness during the Qi refining period. In Central Continent, there are even more people who have this ability from the day they are born. Such talents can be regarded as gifted. "
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed during happy events. Zhou Yiqiao did not feel offended. Instead, he gained a deeper understanding of this woman from Qing Jimeng's words.
Since the last time he saw her at the underground auction, Zhou Yiqiao heard a lot of remarks about this woman from Zhao Zhen.
It is said that this woman's life experience is extremely mysterious. Except that everyone knows that she is a direct disciple who was taken into the disciples by True Lord Kunfa ten years ago, there is no other information.
During his time with her as a fellow practitioner, Zhou Yiqiao gradually made guesses from the few words he exchanged with her.
Now that he heard what she said unintentionally, he was even more sure that this woman came from outside Liang Kingdom, or even outside Yanzhou.
Zhou Yiqiao shook his head and extinguished the random thoughts in his mind. He was just a low-level monk in the Qi refining period. I am afraid that we will never interact with each other again, so why worry about where others are from.
Although there were thousands of thoughts in his heart, Zhou Yiqiao still said with a smile on his face.
"In this case, the transaction between me and fellow Taoist Qing is officially completed. Let me say goodbye first. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. The end of the world is not far away. See you on the road to immortality."
Now that the cause and effect have been resolved, Zhou Yiqiao naturally no longer misses her. After paying respect to Qing Jimeng, he turned around and left Wuhen Building.
Qing Jimeng's eyes were still looking at Zhou Yiqiao's back indifferently, watching him disappear from sight, and with a wave of her hand, the door of Wuheng Building, which had been open for more than a month, was closed again.
Zhou Yiqiao returned to the guest room in a comfortable mood, simply put the items in his bag, and then left the garden to find Cao Yuan who was dispatching the warriors at the ferry.
"Senior Cao, this junior is lucky enough to have broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. The purpose of this trip has been achieved. Thank you to Senior Cao for your help these days. I will take my leave now."
Out of caution, Zhou Yiqiao said goodbye half-truthfully.
When Cao Yuan saw the spiritual power surging around Zhou Yiqiao, he congratulated him.
"My little friend is making great progress now. I'm afraid it won't be long before we can call ourselves fellow Taoists."
"After this battle, if you come to Xuzhou, you can come to Wangtian Temple to see me, so that I can show my friendship as a landlord."
Zhou Yiqiao agreed repeatedly and left the Tianyun Treasure Ship with Cao Yuan seeing him off.
After returning to Zhulufang City, Zhou Yiqiao first went to Sun Da's residence and informed him that he could accept the position of alchemy deacon again. Then he disguised himself and hurried to Zhao Zhen's restaurant in Zhulufang City.
Now that Zhou Yiqiao has been promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining, he will start to make plans for the future foundation of heaven. He once again asked Zhao Zhen to collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures related to the two attributes of gold and fire.
Zhao Zhen naturally agreed wholeheartedly and watched the young man who was already at the same level as himself leave with a complicated expression.
Returning to Xiaoyao Inn, looking at the familiar scene, Zhou Yiqiao sat at the table and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Although the red fruit is expensive, it is not rare. As long as the next Yaori Sect's spirit boat comes here, I can take the spirit boat back to the sect on the pretext of receiving my salary from the sect and go to Yaoyang City to buy one. .”
"With the help of the Moon Stone Space, the century-old fruit will be at your fingertips."
“As for the news about the natural treasures, we can only hope that Zhao Zhen can gain something.
"If there is still no result after cultivating to Dzogchen, then you have to take some risks."
After all, the Yaori Sect is a major sect of Yuanying. The treasures of heaven and earth in the Qi refining period can be redeemed as long as the disciples contribute enough points. However, if it really comes to that situation, Zhou Yiqiao will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.
……
Because the acting alchemy deacon was not in the city for the time being, Zhou Yiqiao spent several days after returning from the Tianyun Treasure Ship in the Xiaoyao Inn to consolidate his recent breakthrough.
There has been a rumor in Zhulufang City that Zhou Yiqiao and Wangtian Temple have an old relationship. At this time, no one dared to come to test Zhou Yiqiao's details. He had a break and could consolidate his cultivation with peace of mind.
On this day, Zhou Yiqiao completed the last one of the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique. After Zhou Tian finished practicing and controlled the spiritual power in his body to return to his Dantian, he suddenly frowned and felt that the spiritual power around him became sticky, and there was a smell of blood. poured into his nasal cavity.
He quickly sealed his nose and heard a strange voice coming from the sky above Fangshi.
"Old Master Chengjin, I was in poor condition that day and you managed to defeat me by luck. Today, I came to Zhulufang City to demand justice. Why don't you come out and die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a violent tremor spread throughout the city.
"The opponent is attacking Fangshi's formation!"
Zhou Yiqiao was shocked and hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power to stabilize his body. He patted the storage bag with his left hand and used the bull shield to protect his body.
"If you dare to go deep into our territory of Luzhou, the evil old devil, you will never come back today!"
A loud voice came from the conference hall in the center of the city, resounding for hundreds of miles.
Zhou Yiqiao did not dare to lean out of the window to check the situation. He released his spiritual consciousness outside his body and pushed it to the limit, quickly covering an area of two hundred feet in radius.
His mind instantly rushed to look at the situation outside the inn. The most dazzling thing was a shocking sword energy rising from the center of Fang City and floating in the sky.
"Disciples of the Yaori Sect, quickly gather in front of the meeting hall!"
In the market, the bell used for early warning of the magic weapon rang, and then the voice of the leader Zhenyan Zhenjun who had been stored in it rang, alerting the disciples who were still in the state of cultivation and had not yet discovered the invading disciples.
As the chiming bell rang, a rain of fire flew down from Zhulufang City and bombarded the defensive formation.
In an instant, the entire market seemed to be activated, and it became agitated for a while.
