The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 715 - 239: Teasing No. 6 Blue Ball (6k)_3

Leaving behind only a charred mark and a few wisps of lingering smoke.

Throughout, Sikong Yan never stopped moving, continuing to explore the surroundings.

After a long while, he arrived at a mine, reached out, and a box wrapped in layers of rune paper instantly shot out from the stone wall, landing steadily in his hand.

As he opened it and saw a drop of heart’s blood inside, he was a bit surprised, but not overly pleased.

"Interesting, the knowledge here is indeed somewhat lacking. Unfortunately, this was the heart’s blood of the former Sikong Yan, not mine. Just wait a little longer, and this body will no longer be constrained by it!"

After saying this, Sikong Yan released a purple flame, and the heart’s blood, along with the box, turned into ashes.

"Even if the entire Cangyan Daoist Palace is destroyed, what does it have to do with me? It’s just that the chess game here hasn’t unfolded, so I’ve stayed until now!"

"But now, not only do I have that interesting little fellow, but also you, which is quite a pleasant surprise."

"Who exactly are you?"

Sikong Yan muttered to himself, then turned and left.

...

In the days that followed, Zhou Qing focused on his cultivation, while every three days he dripped two drops of spiritual liquid onto the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.

For safety’s sake, he even appraised it.

When feedback showed that the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree was reviving, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Normally, only two or three drops of Flame Spirit Flower Liquid were needed, but Second Elder had him collect a dozen plants.

So now, the excess, with the support of top-grade fire attribute spirit stones, were absorbed better than usual.

Especially the fire flower among the four-colored blooms, which seemed to enjoy the energy, becoming more vibrant and beautiful.

Three months later, Cao Zhengyang returned from Lingyun Mansion, bringing back all the materials Zhou Qing needed to refine the sect protection array.

It was said that it cost a fortune, but Cao Zhengyang didn’t feel any pain, instead he was extremely excited.

In no time, the Taiqing Sect would give birth to thirteen Perfection of Divinity Transformation Realm masters, plus the bicolor array, unless someone in the Spirit Severing Realm takes action, who could threaten them?

"Refining the array must be quite exhausting for heart and spirit, this is a little token of appreciation from your uncles and elders!"

After solemnly handing over the materials to Zhou Qing, Cao Zhengyang took out a large pile of various colored elixirs, and over fifty top-grade spirit stones from his storage bag.

They could have provided more, but they would be in retreat next, and even with the assistance of Yin Spirit Jade, a vast amount of energy was needed for support.

Zhou Qing was already very grateful for this.

Then, after greeting Lu Yaoyao and Yan Xiaohu, Zhou Qing turned off the communication token and fully immersed himself in refinement.

...

A year later!

As the stone door of the closed cultivation site slowly opened, Zhou Qing, dressed in a simple long robe, quietly stepped out.

His hair was casually tied up, with a few strands hanging on either side of his face, adding a casual and carefree air.

His once somewhat immature face now had a bit more steadiness and determination.

The continuous honing over the past year made his aura restrained and deep, giving an undeniable sense of pressure.

In his hand at the moment, was a circular array disc about a foot in diameter, densely covered with intertwined runes.

Blue and red lights flickered on it briefly.

The accompanying array flags reached a complex eighty-one in number.

"Zhou Qing—" As soon as they sensed movement from the secluded site, several peak masters including Cao Zhengyang appeared instantly, their faces full of excitement.

Seeing the Sect Leader and his uncles, Zhou Qing immediately showed a smile.

"Mission accomplished—" Zhou Qing said as he handed over the items.

...

Upon hearing that Zhou Qing had come out of seclusion, Lu Yaoyao was the first to rush to Little Spirit Peak, her face brimming with joy.

[Heart Mirror Points +9]

The [Good Attention] above her head turned into [So powerful] once again.

How could it not be powerful? It’s a bicolor array after all.

You should have seen how excited the Sect Leader was holding the array disc and flag, now busily setting it all up with the Supreme Elder and others.

Zhou Qing chuckled at the notification sound, he was about to find Third Brother to see how the brood hen was doing.

"Looks like over the past year your cultivation hasn’t slipped, you seem to be moving steadily towards late-stage Nascent Soul!" Zhou Qing said.

Lu Yaoyao nodded repeatedly, "Of course, I can’t keep dragging you down, can I?"

Zhou Qing smiled knowingly, and as they chatted, Yan Xiaohu arrived, laughing heartily, opening his arms to give Zhou Qing a warm hug.

"Finally out of seclusion, I almost died of boredom over the past year!" Yan Xiaohu said loudly.

Lu Yaoyao blinked and teased, "I saw Brother Yan always busy with Niu Guangmo and the others, didn’t seem bored at all."

Yan Xiaohu awkwardly scratched his head, quickly arguing, "Nonsense, it’s precisely because I’m bored that I keep myself busy."

Lu Yaoyao then whispered to Zhou Qing, "Brother Zhou, you don’t know, six months ago Li Shitao and Xiao Cancan came, not sure what happened, Brother Yan was scared and hid outside."

Zhou Qing was momentarily taken aback, then looked at Third Brother again, his smile turning meaningful, filled with teasing intent.

Yan Xiaohu wasn’t deaf, seeing Zhou Qing’s expression, he quickly explained, "Don’t get the wrong idea, I wasn’t hiding, I just happened to have something those days, if you don’t believe me, we can confront Niu Guangmo and the others."

Seeing Yan Xiaohu so flustered, Lu Yaoyao couldn’t help but let out a "pfft" of laughter.
