The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 43: No way, are the "after-effects" that strong?

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: No way, are the "after-effects" that strong?

Afterwards, Zhou Qing immediately sat cross-legged and pulled out the Spirit Egg laid by the old hen, starting to concentrate on absorbing and refining it.

Under the cover of night, Zhou Qing, who had fully recovered, headed straight towards Flame Dragon City.

With a thought, the panel quietly appeared.

[Name: Zhou Qing]

[Age: Nineteen]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Middle Stage]

[Cultivation Technique: Taiqing Profound Qi Skills]

[Talent Skills: Daily Reflection,

Heart Mirror Vision - LV2 (121/200),

Lowering Presence - LV3 (3/100)]

[Skill Fragments: 0/3 (Unavailable)]

It seems that soon, the talent skill [Heart Mirror Vision] will be upgraded to level three, allowing him to bind to more people.

By then, no matter how Second Uncle changes his appearance, he would see through it at a glance.

"Where have you been the past three days? I was about to ask Old Mo for help."

Seeing Zhou Qing return safely, Yan Xiaohu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During these three days, he had kept sending messages but never received a reply from Zhou Qing, which really worried him.

Zhou Qing said apologetically, "Well, I got delayed by some matters, but upon seeing your messages, I hurried back."

"Where is the elder?" Yan Xiaohu looked around but didn’t see the stall owner.

Zhou Qing said, "Don’t bother looking, he has already left."

"Left? Such a pity. What did he want from you? Why did it take so long?" Yan Xiaohu asked curiously.

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and then said seriously, "He wanted to take me as a disciple."

"Take you as a disciple?" Yan Xiaohu was stunned.

Zhou Qing nodded, "Yes, he said I was divinely talented and also lucky, so he wanted to pass on his legacy to me. He kept asking for three whole days, but of course, I couldn’t agree. After all, I am a Taiqing Sect person in life and in death."

Seeing Zhou Qing’s proud demeanor, Yan Xiaohu couldn’t believe it.

"There are no Taiqing Sect people here. You don’t need to show loyalty. If you don’t want to say, don’t say. Honestly, I’m not that curious. Let’s hurry home, or that old hen you bought for three thousand spirit stones might starve to death!" Yan Xiaohu said.

Zhou Qing’s face changed instantly, realizing he had forgotten about the hen.

The two hurried towards the mountain gate...

When Zhou Qing hurriedly opened the courtyard door, he was dumbfounded.

A pavilion in the courtyard had already collapsed, and the old hen was pecking on it, "clucking" away.

Seriously, what kind of mouth do you have, how is it so tough?

But overall, the old hen had lost quite a bit of weight, and feathers were scattered all around the courtyard.

"My poor hen!"

Zhou Qing felt distressed and quickly went over, crushing two spirit stones and feeding the hen.

While stroking the hen, he couldn’t help but think this might be good. At least the hen didn’t look as fat as before, making it less likely to be coveted.

After everything returned to normal, Zhou Qing again looked at the black and white Spirit Core inside his Dantian, feeling like it was all a dream.

Is this the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?

Moreover, half a foot into the future, ranking first in the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Nascent Soul?

If I went out today and proclaimed it, would I be assassinated tonight?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but laugh.

But this secret can’t be revealed to anyone. Although the sect would fully cultivate and protect him, there will always be moments of oversight.

He doesn’t want to be constantly supervised, especially when using the bathroom, as he cherishes his freedom.

Then he went to the Collection Pavilion to solidify his cultivation knowledge.

Sure enough, he found records about the top-ranked Yin Yang Qi among the Heavenly Dao Qi.

This Yin Yang Qi is an Innate Spirit, and its quantity is frighteningly scarce.

Not only does it forge the strongest Foundation Establishment, but upon ascending to Golden Core, it uniquely births two Golden Cores.

One resides in the Dantian, and the other in the Heart Field.

Note that ordinary people only have one Golden Core in their lifetime, and any subsequent Golden Core formed from Heavenly Dao Qi is the same.

If a Golden Core is shattered or extracted, the person is completely crippled for life, unable to cultivate again.

But the Yin Yang Pills are exceptional.

All things carry yin and embrace yang, combining qi to achieve harmony. As yin and yang adapt, they converge into unity.

Even if one is missing, as long as the other remains, given time, it will re-emerge.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing was amazed.

No wonder it’s ranked as the top Heavenly Dao Qi.

And as Second Uncle said, possessing two Golden Cores makes one’s combat power vastly superior to others at the same level.

In the future, there’s a 40% chance to form the strongest Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Nascent Soul, creating an excellent cycle for cultivation.

"Second Uncle said this strand of Heavenly Dao Qi was obtained from the depths of the Pocket World, what did I see there? How could someone as powerful as Second Uncle be trapped for so long?"

"So, how much has the sect researched it now? According to Master, the Taiqing Sect discovered the anomalies here to build the sect and set up heavy restrictions."

Zhou Qing’s curiosity grew.

Of course, he felt deep gratitude towards Second Uncle. This invaluable item, who knows how many top-grade spirit stones it could exchange for, he just gave it away.

This kindness, he must remember.

Upon returning to the courtyard, Zhou Qing suddenly felt something, stopping in his tracks and looking at the big tree outside.

Or rather, at the clump of wild grass beneath the tree.

Seeing the golden dewdrops, and looking at the sun in the sky, he felt something was off.

With a thought, he used identification.

[Ordinary Wild Grass: Originally could live for several years, but half an hour ago, it was urinated on by Yan Xiaohu, and its life stopped at Postnatal.]

Zhou Qing: "..."

Taking out his token, he saw Third Senior Brother’s message.

"Little Junior Brother, I’ve waited half a day without seeing you, so I went down the mountain to attend the gathering. If you want to come, contact me then!"

Zhou Qing sighed. He didn’t want to go down today, as [Daily Reflection] had just been used.

Besides, since the Treasure Exchange Gathering has reached the later stages, sects competing less in combat, nearly no Ignore Points can be gained.

Might as well train well today.

After replying to Third Senior Brother, Zhou Qing checked the chicken coop first, then started training the Silver Dragon Step taught by Second Uncle.

Within moments, he opened his eyes in utter disbelief.

"What’s going on?"

He hurriedly tried again, proving it wasn’t an illusion.

When he just grasped it, it felt so obscure and difficult. How come training today felt so effortless?

His mind felt clear, almost reaching a level of inferring other contexts.

"Could it be—"

Zhou Qing quickly looked at the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment Spirit Core in his Dantian, deep in thought.

He then shifted, training the Silver Dragon Hand, and sure enough, everything seemed natural.

To further confirm, he activated Cyan Wood Spirit Shield, and the smooth sensation excited him.

In a short while, a dense wood-attribute Spiritual Qi rushed in from all directions, summoned, and quickly gathered around him.

In a blink, a solid shield formed, with clear textures and a robust feel.

Within the shield, Zhou Qing saw its solidity was no weaker than the one displayed by Senior Sister Shi Zhen during a lecture in the Preaching Hall.

"Is this Perfection?"

Zhou Qing gulped, knowing he had trained the Cyan Wood Spirit Shield for years. Though he had achieved Minor Achievement long ago, Great Success seemed years away, but now it quickly reached Perfection.

"Is this the enhancement from top-tier Heavenly Dao Qi? Have I truly transformed? Even my mind feels different!"

After multiple confirmations, Zhou Qing was ecstatic. Calming his mind, he retracted the shield, as it consumed a lot of Spiritual Power.

Then, he sat cross-legged and absorbed top-grade Spirit Stones, shocked to find even absorption and refinement rates drastically improved.

"I’m truly going to rise!" Zhou Qing couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
