Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

"I hope I can have five or six points of immortal bones."

Zhou Ming silently made a wish in his heart, but his face was calm, not wanting to put any pressure on his nephew.

Zhou Qing was in the sunlight, the incense burner on the desk was emitting smoke, and the ink fragrance of the books piled on the bookshelf was lingering around him, making him seem like he was sitting in a scroll, with a kind of brilliance.

He turned his eyes and could see his uncle's thoughts, but he would not say much at this time, just said: "Wait until you find the immortal bones, refine them and truly change your body."

"No other talk,"

Zhou Qing smiled and said: "If you pass this level, you can increase your lifespan by 20 to 30 years."

Hearing this, Zhou Ming pointed at his nephew with his hand and laughed and scolded: "At such a young age, you are thinking about your lifespan?"

"I can do without it, but I can't live without it."

Zhou Qing deliberately made a straight face and replied.

"You kid,"

Zhou Ming laughed again when he saw this.

In the yard, Qiuxiang, wearing a cotton skirt with fine lines and thin leaves, was lowering her head and fiddling with a moss plum. The twisted branches of the plum tree let in rays of sunlight, reflecting the dense mosses covering the flowers. There were also moss tendrils hanging between the branches, two or three inches long, with green threads hanging down, swaying in the wind.

She took care of it very seriously, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead, but she seemed not to notice and continued. Because she knew that her master liked this kind of flowers and plants very much in recent years.

At this time, laughter came from the house, which made Qiuxiang pause.

She stopped for the first time, stood up, and listened to the refreshing and relaxed laughter in her ears, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

During this period of time, about a month, her master laughed more often than in the past few years.

Young Master Qing is becoming more and more promising, and the master is becoming more and more energetic.

Qiuxiang listened for a while and continued to tend to this rare moss plum. She hummed a little tune and felt the warmth of the sun shining on her body.

In the study, the conversation continued. Zhou Qing thought of something and said, "Uncle, what should I do if I don't want to develop in the Zhou family and want to join the sect?"

"Don't want to develop in the clan?"

Zhou Ming was stunned, then understood and agreed.

Strictly speaking, his nephew is not from the Hengnan Zhou family, and he doesn't have a strong relationship in the clan. It will be much more difficult for him to get promoted in the Hengnan Zhou family than others.

It's better to find an opportunity to join the sect and show his ambition.

This is not to say that there are no intricate relationships between the big sects. In fact, there are large and small families in each sect. It's just that compared with the family, the sect is more tolerant and can provide more opportunities.

Zhou Ming thought about it and said, "It's not easy to join the sect. Some people in the clan have great magical powers and can recommend their descendants to join the sect directly."

"Your uncle doesn't have this ability, so there is no hope for this path."

"Others who recommend themselves, have good luck, and are favored by others and enter the sect, these are all special cases."

Speaking of this, he looked at the sunlight coming in from outside, which was golden and shining, like a hanging bronze mirror, as if reflecting the past. Thinking of the past, he said, "Most of the disciples in the clan who enter the sect choose to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly."

Zhou Qing's eyes flashed, "Jingchen Dharma Assembly?"

"Yes, the Jingchen Dharma Assembly on Jingchen Mountain." Zhou Ming took a breath and said, "Including the Hengnan Zhou family, many families, the children of the family who do not want to develop in the family often participate to see if they can enter a sect that satisfies them at the Dharma Assembly."

"Back then, your mother participated in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly and was selected by the Lingguan Sect. She also met your father on Jingchen Mountain."

Zhou Qing did not speak. He had no impression of the so-called parents of this body. Only a concept remained.

Zhou Ming did not want to bring up this topic. He quickly talked about the Jingchen Dharma Assembly again and said, "Many sects will come to the Dharma Assembly. Different sects may have their own unique methods of selecting people. However, for any sect to select people, the aptitude foundation is the most basic and the most important."

"You want to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly, but not now."

"I know."

Zhou Qing nodded, hiding the strange color in his eyes.

To participate in the upcoming Jingchen Dharma Assembly, it is indeed not enough. At the very least, you have to practice the marrow washing to the great perfection.

Of course, the Great Perfection of Washing Marrow is only a prerequisite for participating in the Dharma Assembly. If you really want to participate in the Dharma Assembly, you must have some operations in the clan. After all, each family has a limited number of places to participate in the Dharma Assembly. It is impossible to participate whenever you want. Usually, the best participate.

In the previous life, I was deceived by Guan Ping and took the path of secular cultivation directly, first Taoism and then Dharma, and I didn’t have the opportunity to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly.

Later, after Zhou Luoyun rose to power, he dominated the entire Hengnan Zhou family. I was an official at the time and was extremely bored, so I sorted out the other party’s path. Now I still remember clearly that Zhou Luoyun made a splash at the next Jingchen Dharma Assembly and entered the Shangxuanmen Zhenyi Sect. This is a very critical step.

Zhou Qing glanced at his uncle who looked sickly opposite him. Just for him, he had to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly.

"Shangxuanmen."

Zhou Qing fixed his eyes on Shangxuanmen. In the upcoming Jingchen Dharma Assembly, I wonder if there are other Shangxuanmen besides Zhenyi Sect?

How does Shangxuanmen select disciples at the Dharma Assembly?

Zhou Qing talked in the study for a while before leaving. He didn't even take his maid Su Yun with him. He returned to his mansion alone to prepare for cultivation.

As he entered the realm of marrow washing, the reaction of Zhou Luoyun, who had always been hostile to him, was unknown. Who knew what unknown means the other party would take.

Living alone, there was less scruples.

Zhou Qing pushed open the door and entered a quiet room.

There was a large painting hanging on the front of the room, depicting a picture of an immortal riding a crane, with clouds and mist floating. Under the painting was a jade table, on which was placed a pair of purple clay furnace bottles. On the other side, there was a whisk and a jade ruyi.

At this time, all the windows were closed, and the skylight outside was blocked outside. Only the residual color entered, with a kind of clarity after washing with water.

Zhou Qing turned around first, and after making sure that everything was fine, he sat down on the futon in front of the jade table. He sank slightly, and there was a jade light on his forehead.

In just a moment, he sat down and began to visualize the picture of marrow washing and watching the moon shaking scales in "The Picture of Yuanhuang Transformation into a Dragon".

Even though it was daytime outside, when Zhou Qing visualized this marrow washing diagram, a wisp of coldness suddenly fell all around, the water and clouds were like a big mat, and the moonlight was reflected, spreading a whiteness.

Gradually, Zhou Qing found that his body was disappearing bit by bit, and replaced by a dragon with half of its body sticking out of the water.

It faced the bright moon in the sky, breathing in and out, and the dragon scales on its body also shook with it, not fast or slow, just right, as if the moonlight could keep shining down, shaking into the water, blending into the waves, and finally turning into a lake of cold color.

This marrow washing diagram is quite difficult to visualize, but Zhou Qing not only lived three lives as a human, but was also born with two spirits, so he was very comfortable with this method.

"Another bone."

After Zhou Qing finished washing a bone, his internal energy turned, wrapped around another bone, and penetrated through the gap between the bones. He saw the bone marrow inside and was slightly surprised.
