Chapter 298: Cultivation

It was a hot summer day, but Zhou Qing's Black Wind Mountain was cool. Five-colored lotus flowers were blooming in the pond, and golden carp, giant turtles and crabs were floating on the surface. From afar, the Poison Dragon Pond, which was thousands of miles in radius, seemed to be connected to the sky. There were also some small islands with a radius of dozens of kilometers in the pond. The scenery was even better, with green trees, gurgling water, fragrant spiritual herbs, and white orchids in full bloom. Under the sunlight, you could vaguely see a scaled and horned dragon with a red or black body perched on it, breathing in and out Dan Qi in the extremely bright sunlight. In the Dan Qi, there was a red bead as big as a bowl, as if it was competing with the scorching sun.

Several of the dragons were princes captured by Zhou Qing from the Demon King. They were originally of high status and commanded millions of demon soldiers, but now they have become creatures in the pond. However, there are also benefits. The essence of the sun, moon and stars in the Black Wind Mountain is a hundred times thicker than outside, which is very beneficial for practicing inner alchemy. In addition, there is a chance to listen to Gou Chen's teachings. Over time, these dragons, including the three-tailed blackfish in the pond, have settled down.

On this day, Zhou Zhu came out after finishing his homework and played alone in the mountains. He saw these dragons swallowing and spitting out inner alchemy from afar, reflecting the sunlight, and the precious light soaring into the sky, which was very beautiful. He couldn't help but applaud and cheer. Several dragons heard the voice and saw that it was Zhou Zhu, so they put down their thoughts and continued to practice without caring.

A few days ago, when Zhang Ziran was here, it was very naughty and made a lot of trouble. The red dragon once floated to the surface and just spit out the inner elixir for cultivation, and was seen by Zhang Ziran. If it hadn't been collected quickly, it would have been taken away. Thousands of years of hard work were wasted on the water. Even so, a few dragon scales on its body were peeled off, making the water creatures in the pool dare not come out. Usually they hide in the dark and cold Yinhe River, and they can't see the sun.

Since Zhang Ziran left. These water creatures came out quietly, but there was another Zhou Zhu, who was also a person who couldn't be provoked, but her temperament was very different. Not only did she not harass them, but she often gave them some elixirs. She was cute, and these water creatures liked her very much, and often carried her around the mountains to play. To the west of the two worlds pass, there are three thousand mountains. The area of ​​nearly ten million miles is where Zhou Qing's mountain gate is located. Zhou Zhu has no shortage of places to go, but after leaving the two worlds pass, Zhou Qing doesn't allow his daughter to run around, and Zhou Zhu is also very obedient.

One of the green dragons spit out the green inner elixir. Zhou Zhu liked green, so he flew to the island. The green dragon's body, which was a hundred feet long, coiled several times, like a giant python. It was on a silver stone three feet thick and four or five feet high in the center of the island, twisting and rubbing its whole body on it.

Scales fell off piece by piece, and blood dripped, all falling on the silver stone. It was shedding its skin.

Zhou Zhu saw that the dragon was working hard, so he went back to the palace, took the nectar, and sprinkled it on the green dragon. The skin was shed immediately, and a new skin was born. The green dragon was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. Zhou Zhu laughed and said: Take me to Wandu Mountain. I don't know what magic weapon the senior sister has been practicing there recently. I want to go and see.

The green dragon nodded and spread its body. With four claws soaring into the sky, Zhou Zhu flew onto the dragon's back. The scales were as smooth as jade, and the back was wide, much better than before. She was happy. The dragon let out a long groan and flew up to a height of a thousand feet in the hot sun. Just as she was about to fly towards the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain, she suddenly heard Zhou Qing's voice in her ears: My dear daughter, where are you going?

When Zhou Zhu heard this, she was surprised and said: Daddy, you were in seclusion refining magic weapons the other day, and you didn't play with me. Your daughter is so bored.

Zhou Qing laughed. Zhou Zhu and the green dragon only felt the clouds changing. The surroundings were hazy at first. The scorching sun in the sky and the lakes underground all disappeared. Then the eyes were bright. They were already on the ground, but in the valley behind the fairy palace. The sky above was full of stars. Looking carefully, it seemed extremely far away and there was no end. It was completely different from the sky outside. There was no scenery in the valley, but the cliffs on all sides were smooth like jade and blue. In the middle was a magic altar, ten feet in diameter and one foot and six feet high. Zhou Qing sat on it, with a five-foot bamboo stick and a yellow gourd beside him, and nothing else.

What magic weapon did Dad refine? Is it for me? Zhou Zhu didn't hesitate at all. He jumped onto the stage, hugged Zhou Qing's neck and shook him.

The green dragon saw Zhou Qing, the evil star, and was panicked. He didn't dare to look up. He simply rolled up his body and buried his big head inside. From a distance, it looked like a green meat ball, which was extremely funny.

Zhou Qing saw the appearance of the green dragon, nodded and shouted: Good beast, it is also a blessing to see me today. After that, he waved his hand, and a ball of white gas shot out from his hand, the size of an egg, and flew straight towards the green dragon. The green dragon heard the sound and raised his head, and suddenly saw the white ball floating, which was already three feet above his head. He didn't know what was going on, and heard a light bang, and the white ball burst and turned into a large cloud of smoke, wrapping the green dragon in it.

The green dragon was covered by the smoke, and its whole body was swollen and painful, just like a full-inflated ball that was about to explode from the inside. It was very uncomfortable, but it couldn't move half of its claws. It was horrified, and suddenly heard Zhou Zhu say: Little green dragon, this is a benefit given to you by your father.

The green dragon had originally cultivated into a demon fairy, but its soul was restrained by the talisman and could not leave its body, so it could not transform. Suddenly, when it heard Zhou Zhu's voice, it suddenly had a blessing in its heart. It quickly operated the inner elixir it had refined and spit it out, floating in the white smoke. Sure enough, with this operation, the white smoke attached to the inner elixir. Every time it spit out, it flowed into the blood. Gradually, the body of the green dragon became transparent, sometimes big and sometimes small, flying in the smoke.

This is Daddy's recent retreat, refining the essence of the great witch, leaving only this small ball. Today, he just came out of retreat and wanted to find you to give you a magic weapon. Seeing that you brought this long worm in, he simply fulfilled it. You can use this thing to travel in the future, which also saves a lot of energy.

Zhou Qing ignored the green dragon and explained to his daughter.

Zhou Zhu let go of his father's neck and still leaned on him, like a child who was very attached to his parents. Zhou Qing loved this daughter very much, so he was naturally very happy. No matter what happened, as long as Zhou Zhu proposed it, Zhou Qing would do whatever she wanted. But Zhou Zhu was also very obedient and likable.

Daddy, when I was on the island, I wanted magic weapons because I was afraid that monsters would catch me. Now that Daddy, Mommy, and Senior Brother are all around to protect me, there is no use for magic weapons. Why is Daddy wasting time on me practicing? Zhou Zhu asked.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Silly girl, magic weapons are used to overcome tribulations."

But Daddy, I have become an immortal, and I have passed the heavenly tribulations. What tribulations are there? Zhou Zhu was puzzled.

Who said that there are no tribulations after becoming an immortal? Like you last time. You almost let the monster go. Isn't this a tribulation? If you had a powerful magic weapon at that time, you could have driven the monster away. This is also a tribulation. After becoming an immortal, if you have not killed the three corpses, have not certified the mixed origin, and have not obtained the original beginning, there are also many tribulations, and they are much more dangerous than the nine-day thunder tribulation, and you don't know when it will come. It is hard to guard against, even Daddy, he doesn't know how many disasters he will face in the future.

Zhou Qing patiently explained to his daughter, Zhou Zhu seemed to understand, and then saw Zhou Qing pick up the bamboo stick. After stroking it twice, he said: This bamboo stick, after years of hard sacrifice by me, although it is not as good as the innate spiritual treasure, it is also very powerful, especially it contains the Yuanshen golden body of a very powerful demon fairy, together with Daddy's golden body relic when he was cultivating the earth, but because the Yuanshen golden body of the demon fairy was very powerful, it has never been refined. Recently, Daddy's magic power has greatly improved, so he used the Zhoutian star power and the spirit of the great witch to refine it again. It took a lot of effort, and it was considered successful, and only then did he refine the demon with you, a silly girl, to overcome the disaster.

He shook the bamboo stick. Ten golden centipedes appeared on the top of the stick, all seven or eight inches long, thick and heavy, as if cast in gold, holding a shiny black relic.

This is the relic that Daddy condensed when he became enlightened. If you shine this relic, any living being will fall into reincarnation. The twelve centipedes are the sustenance of Daddy's soul. They have been cultivated for decades, and they have obtained the golden body of the demon fairy. Daddy used the essence of the great witch to refine the body. They are much more powerful than the external incarnations in the Asura Dao, and have many wonderful uses. It only takes a thought to collect them. Daddy has collected the soul attached to them. My dear daughter, you can use the mental method that Daddy taught you to sacrifice and refine them. In the future, if you kill the three corpses, you can also use them as a place to place your obsession.

Zhou Qing gave all the bamboo sticks and gourds to his daughter, and taught him the mental method. The gourd contained a magic pill made from ginseng fruit, which contained the power of the stars and the nectar god.

Zhou Zhu picked up the two magic weapons, looked at them, and touched the twelve centipedes. Then he said to Zhou Qing: When I kill the three corpses in the future, I will also be as powerful as Daddy's incarnation.

Zhou Qing touched his daughter's head and smiled: Dad, it was a coincidence that the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword was broken in the human world and condensed into the body of the Twelve Ancestral Witch Demon God to entrust obsessions. Only then can it be that even if the obsessions are cut off, the Taoism is greatly improved, but the magic power is low.

Buddhists use a lot of hardships to condense the golden body to entrust obsessions, and immortals look for innate spiritual treasures to entrust obsessions, and cut out the incarnation, so that it can be used to overcome the calamity before the Tao fruit is achieved. Otherwise, it is not right to have Taoism but no magic power to just avoid the calamity. You must know that some calamities cannot be avoided. Like the Taoist Wukong, although he has profound Taoism, his golden body of Fighting Buddha is not as good as the Blood God born by the founder of the Styx. He encountered a catastrophe and was forced to enter Nirvana to escape the catastrophe. Unfortunately, at that time, Daddy's magic power was still weak and he was powerless, so the demon king Po Xun held back the Monkey King. Otherwise, with the stone of repairing the sky and the indestructible demon body refined by the essence of the sun and the moon for millions of years, it would be enough to resist the Blood God.

This centipede was refined into a golden body by Daddy. If you can realize the Tao in the future and cut off your obsession, it will be a good place for you to rely on. Qing also teaches his daughter carefully.

Zhou Zhu nodded vigorously and asked again: Daddy used the twelve demon gods to place his obsession, but he has not yet achieved enlightenment. This centipede golden body was originally used by Daddy, and now it is given to me. Then, if he wants to place his obsession in the future, won't it be gone?

After saying that, he quickly stuffed the bamboo stick in his hand back. Zhou Qing laughed and said: Daddy is very lucky and got a few innate spiritual treasures, which are just right for proving the Tao. Don't worry, my dear girl.

After saying that, there was a cloud of light above his head, and in the cloud of light, a big bell appeared. It was the Donghuang Bell, with a clear yellow light and unparalleled majesty, like the emperor of the three realms.

This was the treasure that the demon emperor Donghuang Taiyi used to attain enlightenment. By chance, Daddy got it. For a long time, Daddy could not comprehend the mystery because of his shallow power and practice. But not long ago, he practiced the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array with your mother, and he had some understanding in his heart. After that, he placed his obsession on the body of the demon god, and his power and practice were greatly improved. Only then did he understand the way of the stars. Daddy wants to refine this bell into a second soul, and then place his obsession on it. If successful, this incarnation will be even more powerful and boundless, far above the bodies of the twelve demon gods. Even the incarnations of the heavens transformed by the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls of the Buddha Dipankara, and the incarnations of the Duobao Tathagata transformed by the thousands of innate spiritual treasures of Sakyamuni are far inferior to Daddy's body. Daddy will have many great disasters in the future, and they will all rely on this.

Can Daddy attain enlightenment? Zhou Zhu asked.

Zhou Qing shook his head and said: "Daddy doesn't know that obsession is easy to kill, and there is also a place to rely on, but it is difficult to kill oneself. I don't know how to rely on Hunyuan, but as long as Daddy cultivates this incarnation, although there are countless disasters in the future, he can also resist them. At that time, once the disaster is over, there will be endless time, but there will always be a day to prove the truth."

Another long groan, it was the green dragon that was affected by the spirit of the great witch, and changed its appearance. The green scales on the body became pure white, and the two horns on the head were also white. The whole body seemed to be carved from white jade, and the beard was silver and shining. It originally had four claws, but now it has become nine claws. It tumbled in the air, stepped on the clouds and mist, and fell down with a fairy spirit. Under the altar, it knocked directly at Zhou Qing.

This long worm has become a nine-clawed white dragon. Its original form is the same as that of the dragon demon king. From now on, it will be the mount of the good girl. Zhou Qing said to Zhou Zhu: Daddy has to sit in the gate of life and death, his body is stiff and can't move, you should do your homework sooner or later, don't delay, you can find your senior sister if you have something, Daddy will send out his soul to accompany you when necessary.

I don't want Daddy to accompany me, I'm going to find my mother. Zhou Zhu pouted, obviously speaking insincerely.

Zhou Qing patted his daughter's head and said: My dear daughter, don't be angry, your mother is refining the innate five-color divine light, preparing to place her obsession, and she will rely on this merit to overcome the tribulation in the future, my dear daughter, don't disturb her.

Zhou Zhu nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.
