"The supervisor has a perfect eye!"
Zhou Qing nodded slightly and admitted:
"It is true that I want to remove my name from the merit list because I am about to break through to the seventh level of meridians."
Hearing Zhou Qing’s words:
Instead of showing appreciation or admiration, Supervisor Shen frowned, and there was even a hint of sadness in his tone:
"Zhou Qing!"
"Tell me honestly, how many pulse-opening pills do you swallow during your daily practice?"
In less than half a year, I have reached the peak of the sixth heaven of opening channels. What is this concept?
You must know that many outer disciples who have been practicing for several years and have never slackened off in their cultivation are not as good as Zhou Qing at this moment.
It is true that Zhou Qing's cultivation talent is far beyond that of ordinary disciples, but there is absolutely no way there is such a big gap!
Therefore, Supervisor Shen strongly suspected that Zhou Qing was eager for quick success and relied on three or more pulse-opening pills every day to achieve such a terrifying cultivation level.
This kind of greedy behavior is a complete waste of his own talent and destroys his own future. How can he not be sad and feel that he hates iron but cannot make steel?
"Report to the Supervisor."
Zhou Qing said without being humble or arrogant:
"When I practice every day, I only take one pulse-opening pill."
If you only swallow one pulse-opening pill every day, most of the impurities deposited in the Qi veins will be washed away by the spiritual energy, making it difficult to detect by ordinary means.
The fact that he had never swallowed the elixir was considered a small secret at the moment, and he did not want to expose it so early.
"Is this true?"
Supervisor Shen was startled for a moment, showing a hint of doubt.
Zhou Qing doesn't seem to need to lie, but there must be something wrong behind this outrageous cultivation speed!
So with a thought in his mind, the divine thoughts in the sea of consciousness immediately scanned Zhou Qing's whole body, focusing on penetrating into his Qi veins.
Mana is invisible and Qi has no quality, but divine thoughts can follow the traces of the flow of mana and shoot to the Qi of the whole body. This is an ability that only monks above the Qi Mansion realm have.
If a monk swallows a large amount of spiritual pills in a short period of time, the impurities deposited in the Qi veins will slightly hinder the flow of mana, and will be immediately exposed as soon as his spiritual thoughts are swept away.
Zhou Qing looked calm and composed, not afraid of the inspection of his mind at all.
Before opening up the sea of consciousness and giving birth to spiritual thoughts, monks could at most detect the sweeps of divine thoughts, but they were basically unable to prevent them unless they possessed special rare treasures.
"...Yes, it seems you still know the importance."
Supervisor Shen's expression suddenly relaxed and he took a deep look at Zhou Qing.
Since Zhou Qing did what he said and did not increase the number of pills he took, he could have cultivated to this level in such a short period of time because he had some kind of secret.
However, he had no intention of exploring, and was not even prepared to ask.
On the vast Eastern Wasteland, immortal monks have passed down the inheritance from generation to generation, and ruins and secret realms are dotted all over the world. There are countless people who encounter strange encounters and possess rare treasures.
Even he himself, without a chance when he was young, would not have reached this stage today. There are many disciples in Chunyang Immortal Sect who have secrets, and Zhou Qing is not the least of them.
"You are not a new disciple yourself. The reason why you are listed in the merit list is because of your own initiative."
Supervisor Shen said slowly:
"Since you have changed your will now, I will naturally not stop you."
"From today on, your name will be removed from the merit list, and you will no longer need to perform hard labor."
"Thank you, Lord Inspector."
Zhou Qing bowed slightly and saluted.
Supervisor Shen's reaction confirmed some of his judgments and made him secretly relieved.
The Chunyang Immortal Sect has been inherited for thousands of years. It is not a small sect or a small aristocratic family. It has the demeanor and legal rules of the Immortal Dao sect. It is almost impossible to snatch opportunities from disciples.
From now on, even if he shows a slightly abnormal or even exaggerated speed of improvement in strength, he will be able to generously rely on opportunities.
"Master Supervisor, this disciple is resigning."
Zhou Qing bowed again and prepared to leave.
"Go ahead."
Supervisor Shen waved his hand and showed a smile:
"You have to perform well today, Xiaobi."
"Yes, I will not disappoint the supervisor."
Zhou Qing replied crisply, turned around and fled away.
…………
Half an hour later.
In the Qingzhuyuan, on the performance ground, the Outer Gate Competition, which takes place once every three months, officially begins.
Hundreds of disciples of Qingzhuyuan were sitting in the stands and talking in low voices. The master of Qingzhuyuan on the high platform was speaking.
Not long ago, Zhou Qing's progress in cultivation was spread by many new disciples, causing a small-scale sensation, but that was all.
What is foreseeable is:
Even if Zhou Qing breaks through to the seventh level of Kaimai immediately after today's competition, he will not cause a large-scale shock in the outer sect like three months ago.
Moreover, the tens of thousands of outer sect disciples in the Twelve Outer Sects today have been attracted by the same thing for a long time, almost all of their attention.
"This time, there are a lot of people missing from the competition!"
In the stands, Wu Ming sat next to Zhou Qing, looking around.
"good."
"You should also have noticed that many senior brothers and sisters who are in the late stage of opening the pulse did not come to participate in this competition."
Liu Songren was dressed in white and said:
"After three months of preparations, several temporary strongholds have been established outside Luofu Daze, and a large number of outer disciples have been stationed."
"Many powerful top teams have already gone to the outskirts of Luofu Daze, and many senior leaders of the seven major groups are still busy planning a comprehensive counterattack."
He paused for a moment before continuing:
"Not only our Qingzhu Courtyard, but also many senior brothers and sisters from other outer courtyards have accepted this large-scale recruitment task and have already set off for Luofu Daze."
"It is estimated that there are nearly two thousand Immortal Sect disciples in Luofu Daze now; when the war officially starts, this number will probably further expand!"
Going to Luofu Daze to perform a demon-slaying mission actually carries relatively high risks.
In normal times, there are still some strong disciples who are in the middle stage of opening up the meridians to carry out the task of killing monsters, but since the monster craze a few months ago, these disciples are almost invisible.
Including this large-scale recruitment mission, the minimum requirement is that the cultivation level must be above the seventh level of Kaimai, so as not to be a hindrance and become a burden.
"Two thousand people?"
Wu Ming exclaimed:
"It seems that this time, the sect is going to take action for real!"
In the entire twelve outer sects of Chunyang Immortal Sect, there are only about three to four thousand disciples in the late stage of opening the pulse.
The current major counterattack is still in the final preparation stage. There are nearly two thousand outer sect disciples in the late stage of Kaimai on the outskirts of Luofu Daze. When the war officially begins, they will probably come out in full force.
There is no doubt that such a large-scale operation cannot be supported by just a few battle groups or large teams. There must be support from the sect behind it.
How could the top brass of Chunyang Immortal Sect remain indifferent to the loss of hundreds of disciples at once? This time it was a retaliatory action against Luofu Daze. The scale was so large that it could be called a local war between the two races.
"If you are serious about it, it shouldn't be enough."
Liu Songren shook his head and said:
"According to the inside information I learned, some Qifu Realm brothers and sisters from the inner sect are in charge of this major counterattack, but the number is not large, probably only a few dozen."
"As for the true disciples and elders above the Qi Mansion realm, I'm afraid they won't participate in this operation."
When Zhou Qing heard this, he suddenly understood.
Only a few dozen of the eight hundred inner disciples came, so the intensity of this war was limited, and it was still limited to the younger generation and ordinary monsters.
Perhaps, the senior officials of Chunyang Immortal Sect regarded this major counterattack as a major military training exercise.
"No wonder so many disciples in the late stage of opening the pulse have gone to Luofu Daze..."
Zhou Qing's thoughts turned and he had more guesses in his mind.
Since it was only a low-intensity war, the level of danger was relatively controllable; and with the support of the sect behind it, those who made meritorious deeds would not be stingy with various rewards.
In the eyes of many outer disciples, this major counterattack may still be a rare opportunity.
Although the battlefield is dangerous, it is also full of opportunities. The best among them can quickly stand out, and the difficulty of obtaining Taoism is greatly reduced. If they perform amazingly and catch the eyes of the upper echelons of the sect, their destiny in the immortal world may be just like this. Turn.
None of the disciples of the Chunyang Immortal Sect were afraid of battle. When they encountered the battle of Luofu Daze, they naturally fought bravely to be first, and even the outer disciples couldn't care less.
"This is quite a feast."
Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
"Brother Zhou is right."
Liu Songren smiled, with a hint of regret in his tone:
"However, our cultivation level is still shallow. We have only started for half a year, so we can only regret that we missed it."
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Wu Ming patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder and said with a cheerful smile:
"Senior Brother Liu, you don't know yet, right?"
"Senior Brother Zhou has reached the peak of the sixth heaven. Supervisor Shen has personally tested his cultivation. It will only take a few days to break through to the seventh heaven!"
"What?"
Liu Songren changed his color in shock.
It's not that he doesn't believe what Wu Ming said, it's just that the news is too shocking!
Three months ago, Zhou Qing had just broken through to the fifth level of heaven. This was already considered an extremely fast practice, at least surpassing more than 95% of the disciples in the outer sect.
As a result, three months later, Zhou Qing was about to break through to the seventh level of Kai Mai?
"Brother Zhou..."
He looked at Zhou Qing subconsciously and couldn't help but said:
"This, is this true?"
"right."
Zhou Qing smiled slightly, his tone still modest:
"I have a small chance. I am indeed about to break through the seventh heaven."
"this……"
Liu Songren looked dazed for a moment.
He broke through to the fifth level of Kai Mai half a month ago, and thought he could get closer to Zhou Qing.
After all, according to Zhou Qing's previous training speed, he is at most the peak of the fifth level of Kai Mai, and the two sides are still in the same small realm.
Unexpectedly, instead of narrowing the gap in cultivation between the two sides, it actually widened further.
Is this a small chance?
"...Brother Zhou!"
Liu Songren took a deep breath, calmed down, and said solemnly:
"Your great improvement in cultivation is naturally a great joy, but if you break through to the seventh level of opening pulses now, it is really not a good time!"
Zhou Qing understood clearly and said:
"Brother Liu is worried about the war in Luofu Daze?"
"good!"
Liu Songren's eyes showed a trace of solemnity:
"This war is very trivial. Regardless of the final victory or defeat, countless monks will surely die if there is bloodshed in all directions."
"Not to mention the disciples who are in the late stage of opening the meridians, even the brothers and sisters who have fully opened the meridians and even those in the Qi Mansion realm cannot guarantee that they will survive to the end of the war!"
He looked at Zhou Qing and his tone became deeper and deeper:
"The war is about to break out. Brother Zhou, you have broken through to the seventh level of opening the pulse... it is really bad for you!"
