Under the canopy, an old man in apricot-yellow robes sat steadily, enjoying the welcome and worship of everyone. He was the founder of the Zhou family, Zhou Ren'an!
Zhiqiu looked at it and sighed: "It's amazing to show such grandeur to a whole city!"
Wanqing couldn't help but nod in agreement. Only Gu Qing looked at Zhou Ren'an from a distance and saw that although this man looked a little old, he was somewhat similar in appearance to the old weirdo Zhou Yuan, as if he was similar to Zhou Mingde.
Zhou Hui also has some shadow of him.
"That's right! This ancestor of the Zhou family must be the grandfather of Zhou Mingde and Zhou Hui, and the brother of old monster Zhou Yuan! That guy Zhou Tian doesn't look much like him, so he must be his distant nephew."
Gu Qing determined Zhou Ren'an's seniority in the clan. Although he is an ancestor, he can be called the ancestor! It seems that for many generations of the Zhou family, only Zhou Ren'an has the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength, even if there are seniors higher than him in the clan
Yes, it can also be called by the ancestors.
Just as Gu Qing was thinking to himself, among the ceremonial guards of the ancestor of the Zhou family, a black-faced man with an iron tower shape holding a yellow flag attracted his attention.
"Wei Tong? He's here too!"
When Gu Qing saw Wei Tong, an old friend who was once the second disciple of Wentian Sect in Fengyu Town, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He immediately disappeared from the crowd and left quietly.
Zhiqiu and Wanqing were enjoying watching the excitement, but when they turned around and saw their master, they hurriedly relied on the connection of their soul imprints to separate into groups and follow their master.
"Master! Why don't you watch for a little longer?"
Gu Qing said calmly: "I want to return to Yun Inn to make alchemy. Please urge Wen Yu and Xiao Tao to provide me with a large number of fifth to seventh level spiritual herbs! In addition, send the guys from Huixing Pavilion to the west of the city to find out the news.
By the way, keep an eye on this person. Once there is any bad news about me, you cannot send me a transmission note directly, but report it to you, and you will come to the inn to report it in person."
Gu Qing printed a portrait of Wei Tong on the jade slip and handed it to the two girls. Zhiqiu and Wanqing nodded in agreement.
Gu Qing then returned to the Guiyun Inn in Dongmo Lane, where he continued to retreat and devoted himself to alchemy.
To the north of the capital of the Kingdom of Wu, at the very end of the sky.
A white-robed monk walked through the air, straight into the sky!
If Gu Qing saw it, he would definitely recognize this person as the messenger in white shirt who sacrificed the Duobao Linglong Pagoda when the tidal coast of the East China Sea was calming down.
When this person was approaching the sky, he opened his hands and broke through the clouds. He suddenly pushed aside the fairy mist surrounding Wu Mountain and flew to the altar on the top of the mountain!
"The lord of Wu's capital city, Xuan Zhenzi, pays homage to the gods in all the temples!"
Xuan Zhenzi, the city lord in white shirt, bowed solemnly towards the towering temples on the altar. At the same time, he respectfully offered sacrificial incense and bowed three times.
In the place where the incense smoke was lingering, the gates of the temples, which were like hills, slowly opened, making a heavy sound made by the vicissitudes of time.
"Come in!"
A distant and ethereal sound resounded over the entire Wu Mountain, making Xuan Zhenzi both respected and fearful.
He walked into the temples with great piety, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to a shining statue among the gods of the Northern Wilderness.
"Xuanzhen! You lit the incense to worship the gods and alerted me, but you encountered an intractable dispute? Is it the invasion of the Chu State, or the entry of the Huo Barbarians?"
The distant and ethereal voice sounded again, and the statue became brighter and brighter.
The great city lord Xuan Zhenzi said with sincerity and fear: "None of them. I am very frightened when I disturb my seniors in the Northern Wilderness. This is because in recent days, the demon tribe in the East China Sea has caused chaos! I have come here specifically to ask for clarification from my seniors."
"Hey! It's such a trivial matter to bother you. You can discuss it with the masters of the Nine Immortal Sects. I still have a furnace of elixirs that I haven't refined yet, so I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
This statue of a god among the gods of the Northern Wilderness said impatiently, and the divine light emitted by it was quickly dissipating.
Xuan Zhenzi was so surprised that he quickly bowed his head and bowed again: "It's a large-scale invasion by the East China Sea Monster Clan! It's so fierce and so large that it even exceeds the one three hundred years ago!"
The divine light on the statue paused, and he said in a deep voice: "Huh? Could it be that the Demon Saint of the East China Sea has made a comeback?"
Xuanzhenzi shivered, obviously very afraid of the Demon Saint of the East China Sea. He shook his head and said cautiously: "According to this junior's information, the Demon Clan of the East China Sea made trouble this time, and the Demon Saint did not show up. It is the seven major ones under him.
The Demon Lord leads the demon clan from the East China Sea to invade."
The statue was silent for a long time, and finally said: "It's not too late to wait until the Demon Saint comes forward to invite me again. If I fight with him, the world will be turned upside down, all lives will be destroyed, and the foundation of our Wu Kingdom's world of immortality will be weakened. Maybe Western Chu will also return
Will take advantage of the situation!
Today's Wu State cannot withstand great turmoil. Chu State has its own old man watching over it, and Beihuang also has us sitting in charge, but you can't use all the strength of the country to deal with the seven demons of the East China Sea, and you have to leave a few conceived juniors.
, beware of the entry of fire barbarians from the south, take care of yourself!"
As the distant and ethereal sounds echoed in the temples, the divine light on the statues finally fell silent.
The white-shirted city lord Xuan Zhenzi's expression also became very solemn. If it weren't for the senior Huashen who was guarding the Wu Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom would have been destroyed by Qiang Chu! Since even the senior Huashen is too busy to deal with the East China Sea monsters this time,
We can only rely on him and the ancestors of the Nine Immortal Sects.
Xuan Zhenzi walked out of the temples, got off the altar, and flew back to the capital of the Wu Kingdom. He immediately summoned the ancestors of the nine immortal sects to discuss countermeasures to deal with the chaos caused by the demon clan in the East China Sea.
But it was said that Gu Qing was refining new spiritual elixirs day and night at the Guiyun Inn in Dongmo Lane. He planted more than 1,300 kinds of spiritual herbs collected by Huixing Pavilion into the spiritual fields of the Immortal Mansion, and they grew into the best elixirs.
, and threw it into the alchemy furnace.
In addition, Wen Yu and Xiao Tao collected spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs from the city market in the capital of the Wu Kingdom, as well as spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs purchased from the major fairy cities in the Wu Kingdom. As long as they could be refined, Gu Qingdu grew a large number of top-quality spiritual herbs.
Cao Cao has also been invested in Qiyao Pill Furnace and Liyan Pill Furnace to improve alchemy skills.
Time passed day by day, and the entire capital city of Wu Kingdom was full of busy figures of monks. The city gate stations and teleportation arrays were shining brightly. There were orders from the big city lords to the states and counties, and there were also the condensations of the major immortal sects.
Elder Dan and the Yangxing disciples came to obey the orders of the ancestor of the Immortal Sect.
Almost every monk has heard that the war with the East China Sea Demon Clan is imminent. Although the capital is located in the hinterland of the Wu Kingdom, it is unlikely that the East China Sea Demon Clan will invade here.
But as soon as the monks heard the call from the East China Sea, not only would the capital city and the major immortal sects give generous rewards to those who went there, but they could also experience hunting monsters in the East China Sea, which has a richer aura, and rob the heavenly materials and earthly treasures there, which made everyone excited!
The major chambers of commerce and shops in the capital are now very busy. Business is booming every day. There are countless monks buying elixirs, magic weapons and robes to prepare for the war. The prices have gone up. Even the monks setting up stalls in the market have taken this opportunity to make a lot of money.
One stroke!
This is not only the case in the capital city, but also in all the major fairy cities and cities in prefectures and counties. As long as there are places where monks gather, as long as they hear the news that the big city lord is recruiting warriors to fight against the monsters in the East China Sea, everyone will be moved by the news.
Huixing Pavilion is also very busy. Zhiqiu has become the big proprietor of Huixing Pavilion. Based on the situation of Huixing Pavilion in various major fairy cities, she ordered elixirs and equipment with different prices, and even gave her life
Cui Duo recruited men and drove the branch of Huixing Pavilion to the coastal prefectures and towns.
Xiao Tao and Wen Yu took the opportunity of sending spiritual grass to inform their master about the battle in the East China Sea.
Gu Qing was immersed in his understanding of alchemy. He simply replied that he understood and sent them away.
Until the sixth day, Gu Qing was still the same as before. Relying on his understanding of alchemy over the past few days, he skillfully controlled the fire and poured in the seventh-level top-grade ice Ganoderma lucidum and purple ginseng fruit.
When the final fixing pill was taking shape, Gu Qing smelled the extremely rich aroma, and his eyes flashed invisibly. When he opened the Qiyao Pill Furnace and took a look, twelve seventh-level top-grade Shouyuan Pills were swirling around, but there was no trace of them.
The pill yield rate of waste pills has reached an unprecedented 100%!
Boom!
Before Gu Qing could get happy, a shocking loud noise shook the sky!
Over the capital of Wu State, winds and clouds surged without warning, and blue clouds appeared that covered the sky and blocked the sun.
In the middle of Qingyun, directly facing the Guiyun Inn below, it brought a strong life and death crisis to Gu Qing!
Gu Qing suddenly raised his head and took out eight sword spirit puppets one after another, forming a large five elements and small three strange sword formations to protect the whole body. At the same time, the ice butterfly and ice rock beast were ready to protect the master at any time!
"I didn't expect that refining the elixir would trigger a strange phenomenon in the sky. This must be the calamity cloud!"
Gu Qing was secretly frightened. He knew that all monks who had completed the cultivation of elixirs, except for monks with extremely high immortality qualifications, would experience minor tribulations. After that, every time they broke through a major realm, they would also encounter baptism of heavenly tribulations, such as
The old monster who has completed the pregnancy period will face the catastrophe of becoming a god!
In addition to this situation, Gu Qing has also seen in the immortal sect books such as the emergence of rare treasures of natural materials, the creation of magical weapons, or the formation of pills and transformations of monsters, which will also cause heavenly catastrophes, but he
No matter what, I never expected that the improvement of alchemy skills would also lead to disaster!
There is no record of this in the immortal sect's classics. Suddenly, the calamity cloud appears and locks him through the pebble formation. Gu Qing has no choice but to face it with all his strength!
He prepared life-saving jade slips that were comparable to a mid-stage pill condensation attack, as well as purple jade earrings that he had taken from the little witch that also contained the power of pill condensation. At the same time, he poured mana into the talisman with the crane painted on it.
Like a stone sculpture, the ice rock beast stood quietly beside its owner. It seemed to be aware of the owner's danger. It carried the ice ax, raised its angular head, and looked up to the sky.
The Ice Butterfly King flapped his ice-like butterfly wings and sent his spiritual message to his master: "Master, although I have not experienced a small heavenly tribulation, I have also seen the tribulations suffered by monsters in the mountains when they formed pills. Generally speaking,
There will always be more than three thunderstorms, each one stronger than the last! The calamity clouds are still condensing now. When the clouds are condensed to the thickest and the sky and earth are darkest, thunder calamities will fall. The big ice rock beast and I will try our best to resist them for our master.
"
"Hmm! This time there was a sudden heavenly catastrophe without any warning. It seems to be different from the ordinary small catastrophes!"
Gu Qing activated the talisman, and his eyes revealed an extremely firm look.
At this moment, there was a huge chaos in the capital of Wu Kingdom!
