Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Just hearing a sound, on the seat behind the platform, one after another zhenqi dispersed, and the cold color melted like snow, revealing Zhou Chao's figure.

The young man was leaning on the seat. Even though the brick surface under his feet was polished like a mirror, and his eyebrows were reflected in a green color, which made people feel like he was going straight to the blue sky, his face could not be concealed as pale as paper.

Looking more carefully, Zhou Chao's eyes had lost their sparkle, and there was only a little dark color in his pupils, giving people a sense of decadence and despair.

"Why."

"Not up to par."

…

Zhou Qing also heard sighs coming from the viewing platform above the hall, and then a rustling sound sounded. The light on the platform immediately dimmed, and the sparks disappeared.

Most of the people who came to watch Zhou Chao's exam left disappointed. Even though the people closest to him stayed, they were still sitting on the cloud platform, lifeless and did not make a sound.

Zhou Qing glanced out of the corner of his eye. At this moment, Zhou Chao's body was a little heavier. He was sitting motionless in his seat, almost turning into a clay statue, lifeless.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing's pupils were covered with a dark color. In a family like the Zhou family in Hengnan, if a youngster failed to pass the exam, he would indeed fall from the sky to the earth.

From today on, he is no longer considered a training target by the clan. Not only will the status of the branch behind him drop sharply, but the resources allocated to him in the clan will also decrease sharply.

It would be nice if he could break through in the past two years, at least he could recover a little bit. If there is no breakthrough in the past two years, the family will have to give up completely and start arranging various errands.

The greatest possibility is to live in the secular world, become an official in the court, scheming and fighting every day, working exhaustingly, dedicating one's life to the family, and then dying.

"Zhou Bo, it's your turn."

At this time, the woman presiding over the exam on the high platform spoke, interrupting Zhou Qing's reverie. He raised his head and saw another young man in the field, Zhou Bo, standing up. Without stopping, he came to the foot of the pillar and sat down firmly.

"rise."

The woman who was presiding over the big exam on the high platform was quick and agile. Seeing that Zhou Bo was ready, she turned around and activated Baozhu.

The pillar lowered its halo of light and covered Zhou Bo. In just a moment, a powerful burst of blood rushed out. The gold book hanging on the pillar suddenly opened, and Zhou Bo's name appeared on it.

These two words shine brightly on the golden list, and there are even auspicious clouds and auras rising from the ground, lifting them up, and flying in all directions.

At least in Lingyun Palace, it will be announced to all directions.

"Passed."

Seeing this, Zhou Qing nodded secretly. Unlike Zhou Chao, Zhou Bo took the initiative to apply this time. He was sure that he had successfully washed his marrow and changed his bones and entered the third realm of Taoism.

Seeing this scene, several cloud platforms surrounding Lingyun Palace lit up, and the light hanging down trembled. With each tremor, a golden flower fell down, spreading in a flourishing way.

This is the people watching, feeling happy and cheering vigorously.

The woman who was presiding over the exam on the high platform softened her tone and reminded: "Adjust it and test your immortal bones and foundation."

"yes."

Zhou Bo put away the smile on his face, calmed down, and started to run his exercises. The energy in his body stirred his bones, and his body glowed with light.

"fall."

Seeing that Zhou Bo was ready, the woman who was presiding over the exam changed the magic formula and activated the pillar. Another halo of light fell on the pillar, layer after layer.

Compared with the previous times, this aperture is thinner and denser, each one is densely covered with incantations, and the color is like new flowers, all in full bloom.

The halo of light beamed around the body, reflecting the immortal bones.

Zhou Qing looked at the treasure pillar, and a line of words suddenly appeared on the unfolded gold list: Five Points of Immortal Bones.

Zhou Qing looked at the illuminated big characters on the gold list, and there were colorful clouds covering the gold list. Flame-like patterns filled it, and a sweet chirping sound came, echoing everywhere.

Zhou Qing was calm when he saw the Five Immortal Bones, but the vision on the gold list that followed made his eyes light up.

The properties of immortal bones are a secret among monks and are generally not made public. But the treasure pillar can not only measure the level of immortal bones, but also the foundation of people. The foundation of the physical body is all-encompassing, and the attributes of the immortal bones are also an important aspect. From this foundation, we can see some clues of the attributes of immortal bones.

According to common sense, Zhou Bo's Immortal Bone score of five points this time should not be as strong as the gold list shows. From the current point of view, the other party may have an unusual practice, or it may be due to the properties of the immortal bones in his body.

Immortal bones have seven lives: metal life, wood life, water life, fire life, earth life, sun life, and lunar life. I don’t know what attributes Zhou Bo’s five-point immortal bone has, but judging from the foundation it has laid, there should be no conflicting attributes.

"There's someone with two lives or three lives."

Zhou Qing compared it with himself and judged that it couldn't be a single life attribute anyway. In that case, the vision would be much more shocking than it is now.

The woman who was presiding over the exam on the high platform raised her head and looked at the gold list carefully. She saw strands of golden light cast over it, bright and dazzling. For the first time, she smiled on her face and looked at the young man who was still sitting under the pillar. Said: "Zhou Bo, right? Not bad. Let's go back to our seats first."

After she finished speaking, a stream of true energy flowed down from the top door, wrapped around Zhou Bo, lifted him up from under the pillar, and gently placed him back on his seat behind the platform.

It can be seen that this true energy reaches the horizontal platform, and suddenly lowers its peripheral vision. It is as white as a wash and as cold as the moon. After touching the seat, it curls up, like a beautiful big lotus in full bloom.

Viewed from above, Zhou Bo appears as if he were sitting on a rosette, bathed in radiance and full of energy. His whole figure has become the center of focus.

After doing all this, the true energy slowly withdrew and returned to the woman who presided over the exam on the high platform.

Zhou Qing looked at the two people behind the horizontal platform with him. One Zhou Chao was like a walking corpse, silent and motionless, and the other Zhou Bo was dazzling and bright. They were both young people, but at this moment, they were separated by the difference.

The big test in the clan was so cruel.

Don't think about the past, don't look at the future, just one time to determine success or failure.

The successful ones leaped over the dragon gate and soared up. They saw all the flowers and good things in the clan; the unsuccessful ones were eclipsed and silent, and they would have to struggle hard in the clan in the future.

Zhou Qing remembered it in his heart and warned himself to take it as a warning. He took a deep breath, stood up from his seat, strode to the treasure pillar and sat down, saying: "It's my turn."

After the words fell, I don't know if it was an illusion, the whole Lingyun Hall seemed to be quiet. Moreover, many of the suspended platforms cast their gazes down, with a kind of scrutiny and observation.

Speaking of which, Zhou Qing only depended on his uncle in the Hengnan Zhou family, and could be called a "lonely man", so there should be no close people to watch the ceremony.

But the reaction on the platform was obviously different.

"Okay."

The woman who presided over the exam on the high platform looked at Zhou Qing deeply, waved her jade hand, the treasure pillar made a sound, and the light circle fell on Zhou Qing. It was just a turn, and a strong blood and qi rushed up.

The golden list that was hung on the treasure pillar and tied up again suddenly opened and emitted light.

The treasure pillar fell, and the golden list opened.

Entering the third realm of Taoism, washing the marrow.

But before the people in Lingyun Hall could react, suddenly, there was a fierce sword whistle, and then a golden light flew from outside the hall. It was reflected by the light in the hall. It was a golden sword with thin cicada wings on both sides, shaking constantly, and there was a buzzing sound every moment.

As soon as the golden sword appeared, it flew straight to a viewing platform above Lingyun Palace. A moment later, a voice was heard, slightly surprised: "The list of people who will be promoted to the ceremony has been announced, and no one from our Hengnan Zhou family is included?"
