Chapter Thirty-Four: Zhou Qing Builds Foundations

  Qingyun Mountain, Lingyun Peak.

  A newly crafted stone table with a simple design is placed on a flat ground, with an incense burner on it, emitting wisps of fragrant smoke that wafts through the air, calming one's mind and making them forget their worries.

  Wang Qian, Zhou Qing, Wang Dao and other members of this small group gathered here.

  People who practice together sit together, naturally not to appreciate the beauty of nature or recite poetry, but to discuss profound theories and talk about their own doubts and gains in their practice, and then answer each other's questions.

  "Big brother, where did Yunlu sister go? I've been back until now but haven't seen her, and even Master is not around?"

  Wang Gan raised a question, Yunluo's character he was very clear about, in this situation she couldn't possibly not be there.

  "I'm not clear about this either, two days ago Master took Shifu Mei down the mountain and didn't say what it was for."

  Zhou Qing's response is almost useless and extremely nonsense.

  The two of them exchanged a glance, and both saw the doubt in each other's eyes. They were master and disciple with Yun Shan, a very close relationship in the cultivation world. In general, when a master goes out for a trip, they would give clear instructions to their disciples, not to mention that this time Wang Qian had not returned yet, and Yun Shan brought Yun Lu down the mountain, which was quite thought-provoking.

  Shaking his head, Wang Qian didn't have the mind to consider his master's affairs now, it was too far away, what was urgent was his own matters were more important.

  "Right, younger brother, what's the purpose of gathering everyone this time?"

  Zhou Qing smiled and was eager to dig out Wang Qian's purpose. He still remembered Wang Qian's crazy cultivation, once closed for two years, and when he came out, the sky thundered, shocking half of Qingyun Mountain.

  This gathering was initiated by Wang Qian, and others also wanted to know his thoughts.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, during this period of time, the underground demonic creatures have become increasingly frenzied. After I returned, I heard that a large number of high-level demonic creatures have appeared in the underground, some of which have even invaded the Tianyuan Continent. This situation is extremely unfavorable for us. Our current cultivation is still too weak, our power is too small, and we are even facing life-threatening danger."

  Wang Qian described the current situation, and the other six people nodded frequently.

  "To be honest with you, this time I came down the mountain, I eliminated a loose cultivator force called YanDang Mountain, and gained quite a few benefits. The spirit stones and whatnot, I've already used them all up. However, from that loose cultivator leader's hands, I obtained an incredible cultivation method. This time, let's take it out together and study it, first try to increase our strength as much as possible, then we can discuss how to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources."

  Wang Qian said, taking out the jade slip of "Pu Du Jingang Jue", the content inside he had already completely memorized, with or without this jade slip was unimportant.

  A group of people closed their eyes and felt it, soon one by one they were shocked.

  "What? This is a very profound and mysterious technique of Buddhism, something that even an ordinary cultivator can attain?"

  "This is the lineage dharma of Vajradhara, which is also extremely rare in some Buddhist sects. Unless one is a disciple with high innate abilities, they will not be able to receive its transmission!"

  "We've made progress! Now we can comprehend this divine art of Gong Fa. By comparing it with our own cultivation methods, we'll definitely reach a higher level!"

  The originally calm atmosphere was completely broken, and all sorts of fanatical spiritual ideas flickered in the void.

  As inner disciples of Qingyun Gate, they were all young and talented, with natural talents that were not to be underestimated. At a glance, they saw the great effect of this door's kung fu.

  "Alright, then let's stay in the sect and cultivate for ten days. During these ten days, everyone will gather together to discuss and strive to improve their cultivation."

  Soon, the seven people entered the stone cave where Wang Qian had previously closed himself off. Wang Qian, this landlord, took out several night pearls the size of longans from his storage bag. The dimly lit stone cave was immediately filled with soft light, and people inside felt extremely comfortable, their eyes also very comfortable, neither too dazzling nor too dark.

  Time is pressing, everyone doesn't say a word of nonsense, and immediately begins to study the Pu Du Jin Gang Jue.

  Wang Gan had already figured it out and didn't need to participate in the early stages, so he started his own plan.

  A pile of gold was thrown out by him, and then he started spewing out true fire. The true fire in his body was transformed from the divine power of the bitter sea, extremely pure, with a scorching temperature, and the air around him almost ignited.

  A large amount of gold was wrapped in a blue true fire, and then began to refine. First, it melted into golden water, and then continued to refine, finally extracting purple gold.

  This time in Yandang Mountain, he obtained a large amount of gold, weighing over ten tons, but after refining it, only a small piece of purple gold the size of a palm remained.

  Looking at this piece of purple gold in his hand, Wang Qian was very satisfied. This material presented a dazzling purple color throughout, without any impurities, proving that he had refined it extremely thoroughly.

  The only thing is that the quantity was a bit less, tens of tons of gold, and only about ten kilograms of purple gold were extracted. This ratio left him speechless.

  "If this were in a previous life on Earth, I would have squandered tens of tons of gold in a short period of time. I am absolutely the most prodigal son among all prodigal sons."

  A thought flashed through his mind, Wang Qian felt very amused, and at the same time, there was a faint sense of melancholy, wondering when he would be able to return to his hometown again.

  "I hope that in my lifetime, I can return to Earth again. But perhaps when I really have the power to traverse time and space, it will be possible."

  Wang Gan was also uncertain in his heart, whether his guess was right or not, shaking his head and suppressing this thought deeply in the bottom of his heart.

  The refinement of the Zhū Shén Jǐ was quite easy, and he once again refined the materials in the divine weapon, extracting impurities and leaving only the most exquisite materials. He then infused the purple financial energy into it, and the originally dark and dull halberd emitted a faint purple glow in the soft stone cave, becoming even more flexible and sharp than before.

  "This divine halberd's grade is still too low, even after infusing it with purple gold, it only has the level of a mid-grade spiritual artifact at its peak. Moreover, the killing intent and murderous aura are also insufficient. It seems that in the future, I'll have to use it more often. I refuse to believe that after traveling the four directions and going through battles, it still won't be able to advance!"

  After rubbing his hands together for a moment, Wang Gan was generally still quite satisfied.

  For the next ten days, everyone's mind was calm and focused on comprehending the techniques and improving their cultivation.

  On the eighth day, Zhou Qing's brain suddenly lit up with a bright light, and he opened his eyes with a flash, revealing a clear and enlightened green glow in his pupils.

  "Build foundation, build foundation, swallow a golden elixir pill into belly, from now on become a cultivator!"

  He snapped his fingers and sang clearly, then stepped out of the stone cave step by step.

  Others were also startled by him and woke up one after another, following Zhou Qing out.

  With a mouthful of air, a flying sword with a cyan glow shot out, darting back and forth in the void like a swimming fish. Its speed was so fast that only a cyan shadow remained, along with a residual image that resembled flowing water, making it impossible to see the true form of the flying sword.

  Zhou Qing's hand grasped the sword, flying swords flashed with a cold light, swooshing through the air, icy winds blew, and everyone's skin felt a stinging sensation, their hair standing on end.

  After practicing the flying sword technique, Zhou Qing stretched out his hand and beckoned, the flying swords dancing in mid-air suddenly shrunk into a small ball with a "whoosh" sound, which he then swallowed into his belly.

  Then, Zhou Qing took out a piece of Dan medicine and Ling stone from his body, absorbing a large amount to satisfy the emptiness of his body after the sudden breakthrough, and it wasn't until half a moment later that he calmed down.

  "This sword immortal's way is indeed fierce and powerful, nothing can withstand it. It is the fighter among cultivators, unmatched in attack and defense!"

  Wang Gan felt the sharp sword aura emanating from Zhou Qing's body and secretly admired him.

  "Congratulations, Brother Zhou!"

  "Haha, Brother Zhou has once again taken the lead, stepping into the Foundation Establishment realm. Tsk tsk, this flying sword is so powerful, beheading someone from a thousand miles away, truly effortless!"

  At this time, it can be seen that the relationship between Wang Qian and his team is indeed very close. Zhou Qing broke through the foundation period and suddenly surpassed everyone else, but no one was jealous. Each tone was sincere, obviously from the heart, and Wang Dao, Li Haoran and others had a firm gaze. Under Zhou Qing's stimulation, their Taoist hearts became even more determined.

  "Haha, fellow brothers, I just had a sudden realization and made some breakthroughs. I believe everyone will catch up soon! What's important is that we must unite as one, advance together in lockstep. If only I improve my cultivation, that doesn't count as success. Only when everyone makes progress together, supporting each other on the path to immortality, is that true success!"

  Zhou Qing's mind was extremely clear, and he repeatedly gave a thumbs up to encourage others.

  He was very successful in this social interaction, and Wang Dao, Li Haoran, Zhao Changqing, Huang Zheng, and Zhao Kuang were all extremely happy, rushing to gather around him to ask about his breakthrough experience.

  Zhou Qing is naturally knowledgeable and articulate, explaining things in great detail with patience.
