Chapter 33 Departure
After returning to the cabin, Duan Qing no longer suppressed his joy and laughed heartily.
Today was really a series of good things. First, the master took the initiative to send him to the spirit mine, which was exactly what he wanted. Then he got the Qi-gathering Technique from the second senior brother, which solved the hidden danger of cultivation.
Thinking of the second senior brother, he remembered what the second senior brother told him just before leaving.
It turned out that the spirit mine was quite far from the main peak. We will gather at the main peak square in three days. There will be an elder leading the team.
There are still three days left. Well, let's take a look at the Qi-gathering Technique given by the second senior brother.
He took out two jade slips from the bag. From the appearance, it was really hard to tell which one was the Qi-gathering Technique.
He took one at random and put it on his forehead and began to browse. Luckily, he got the Qi-gathering Technique jade slip.
After a while, Duan Qing put down the jade slip and breathed a sigh of relief. The effect of this Qi-gathering Technique was better than he thought, and it could be practiced in the Qi training period.
The jade slip mentioned that the Qi-gathering Technique can not only gather spiritual power to hide one's own cultivation, but also simulate various cultivations when practiced to a high level, of course, it cannot exceed one's real cultivation.
Moreover, the effect of the Qi-gathering Technique is that unless one's cultivation is two realms higher than his, one cannot use the Qi-gazing Technique to see through his cultivation.
This means that even if one is in the state of mind-questioning like Master Sanyan Zhenren, he cannot see through his cultivation.
However, this Qi-gathering Technique also has a fatal flaw, which is that it cannot have direct contact with people. If someone directly contacts Duan Qing and uses the Qi-gazing Technique, then the Qi-gathering Technique will not work.
Three days passed in a flash. On the morning of the third day, he went straight to the main peak square, thinking that he would be the first person to arrive.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived, there were already a dozen people waiting there. As soon as Duan Qing approached, he heard a gray-robed old man in front of the crowd shouting.
"But is it the person on duty at Yanfeng?"
Duan Qing responded quickly. "That's right, I'm Yanfeng Duan Qing, meet... Elder!"
Duan Qing didn't know who the gray-robed old man in front of him was, but he heard from his second senior brother that the leader of the team was always one of the seven elders, so he should be right to call him elder.
The gray-robed old man nodded and looked at Duan Qing and said. "I'm Elder Li, who is on duty this time. I'm a little unfamiliar with him!"
Duan Qing answered Elder Li truthfully. "Hello Elder Li, I just joined Yanfeng two months ago. Please forgive me if I'm disrespectful."
Elder Li nodded slightly and stopped answering, but thought to himself.
He has just joined for two months, and he is probably only at the first level of Qi training. He was sent to take turns with this level of cultivation. It seems that this boy is not well received in Yanfeng.
At this time, when the others heard Duan Qing's words, they all turned to look at Duan Qing. He went to the Lingkuang for duty just two months after joining. I don't know if he is brave or excluded in Yanfeng.
Duan Qing was also looking at the crowd at this time. There were more than a dozen people from various elders. Most of them were not familiar with each other and stood alone. After a glance, he found that there were actually two people he knew.
One of them was the stunning Senior Sister Su Yutong from Jingshui Peak at the Sanling Meeting that day. Su Yutong was wearing a neat outfit that set off her beautiful figure. Her black hair was tied up. Compared with the image of a fairy under the moon at the Sanling Meeting that day, the whole person had a different charm.
Duan Qing couldn't help but be curious. Why would Senior Sister Su Yutong take the turn?
With Senior Sister Su's status, there should be a lot of disciples willing to replace her for free with just a wave of her hand.
In addition to Senior Sister Su, the other person was Xuan Jing, the arrogant young man who made him hate him. He was the one who almost made him lose his head at the foot of Wuxiang Mountain that day.
At this time, Xuan Jing obviously saw Duan Qing and walked straight towards him. "Are you used to staying in Yanfeng?"
Xuan Jing looked at Duan Qing and asked first.
Duan Qing ignored him and turned his head to the side.
Seeing Duan Qing didn't say anything, Xuan Jing didn't say anything more and turned to look elsewhere.
After a while, they suddenly heard a sound of breaking air from afar. Everyone looked up and saw a fat man with a big knife under his feet, flying crookedly from a distance.
Seeing this, everyone quickly dispersed. Sure enough, with a "bang", the fat man fell headfirst onto the square.
Before everyone surrounded him and saw who it was, the fat man climbed up on his own, put away his big knife, patted the dust on his body, and ran to Elder Li to salute him.
"Disciple Elder Zhou, please sit down, Qian Datong, meet Elder Li."
It turned out to be this person, Duan Qing remembered that this person was the first person to challenge Xiao Jianchun at the Sanling Conference. Duan Qing had some impression of his physique and his bluffing big knife.
Elder Li glanced at Qian Datong and didn't respond. He was obviously dissatisfied with his lateness. He looked around and said loudly.
"Everyone is here. Let's go now."
He summoned a small boat in his palm and sent it gently. The boat flew out lightly.
Everyone saw that the boat swelled up in the wind as soon as it left his hand. It was still a small boat when it left his hand, but it was already a huge boat several feet long when it landed on the ground.
Duan Qing was stunned. The methods of the great masters of the mind realm, such as Master Sanyan Zhenren and the elders in the sect, were really unfathomable!
Elder Li took the lead and boarded the giant boat, and then everyone followed one by one. Duan Qing also boarded the giant boat with the crowd.
As soon as everyone boarded the giant boat, they saw Elder Li pinching a few hand gestures, and then the giant boat took off and flew towards the back of the square hall.
This was not Duan Qing's first time to experience flying, but it was the best one. The giant boat flew very smoothly, with almost no bumps. Compared with the second senior brother's gilded sledgehammer, this thing was much more comfortable.
The entire giant boat has no sails or oars, and is about a few feet in size. Except for a small cabin in the middle, the other areas are places where you can move.
The giant boat had already disappeared into the clouds at this time, and the landforms below could only be vaguely visible. Elder Li entered the cabin as soon as he got up, and the others stood or sat cross-legged.
Duan Qing was standing next to the giant boat at this time, leaning against the side of the boat to look at the clouds outside, thinking about when he would have such a flying giant boat.
"That's right. This is one of the three treasure-level spaceships in the sect. It is one of the cloud-piercing boats. It is used to transport the disciples in the sect during the annual spiritual mine rotation. It is not seen at other times."
At this time, a carefree voice suddenly came from behind Shi Qing. He turned around and saw that it was Qian Datong.
Duan Qing didn't know the purpose of Qian Datong suddenly talking to him, so he just responded. "Yeah, pretty good."
Qian Datong looked at Duan Qing and smiled, squinting his eyes, and the flesh on his face was piled together. "Hehe, I didn't expect that Junior Brother Duan had just started his career, but he was quite well informed. Did you receive the news in advance?"
Duan Qing was a little curious when he heard this. Is there anything unusual about this spiritual mine rotation? So he asked. "What's the news? I'm just following my master's orders. Does Senior Brother Qian still know me?"
The smile on Qian Datong's face became even brighter.
"I have long heard that Uncle Sanyan, who has not accepted a disciple for many years, has recently accepted a new disciple named Duan Qing. I know all the other people on this spaceship. There is exactly one person in charge of each peak and the elder's disciple, but only Yanfeng is missing. people."
Speaking of this Qian Datong paused and continued. "So, it should be right for me to call you Junior Brother Duan."
Duan Qing was quite surprised. He looked at Qian Datong with a smile in front of him. He didn't expect that this person seemed reckless but had such a delicate mind. It seemed that at the Sangling Meeting that day, the second senior brother underestimated this person when he said he was a reckless man. .
However, although he was a little surprised in his heart, he pretended to have a look of admiration on his face. "Senior Brother Qian is indeed very discerning. He is none other than Duan Qing. I just heard the news from Senior Brother. But is there anything unusual about this rotation?
Qian Datong stretched his head in front of Duan Qing and said somewhat mysteriously. "Hehe, of course it's Senior Sister Su Yutong!"
As he spoke, he nuzzled at Su Yutong, who was in the corner of the spaceship.
Duan Qing couldn't help but look sideways at Senior Sister Su who was meditating with her eyes closed at the bow of the ship, and asked with some confusion. "What's wrong with Senior Sister Su?"
Qian Datong was a little happy and asked Duan Qing. "Senior Sister Su is beautiful! Doesn't she look like a fairy?"
Duan Qing nodded, Senior Sister Su was very beautiful, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Qian Datong chuckled. "Hehe, right! You are not the only one who thinks so. Most of the younger generation of male disciples of Jin Xuanzong regard Senior Sister Su as their dream lover. So if there is a chance to get along with Senior Sister Su for a year, do you think you will? There will be people rushing to come.”
Duan Qing thought about it. Senior Sister Su's peerless beauty would indeed make a group of male disciples compete for this rare opportunity.
But he was also very curious. With Senior Sister Su's status, why would she go to the Spirit Mine?
Seemingly sensing Duan Qing's doubts, Qian Datong whispered to him. "I don't know why Senior Sister Su went on duty. I only heard that Senior Sister Su asked to go. I only received the news two days ago, so...hehe."
Seeing the wretched look on Qian Datong's face, Duan Qing knew that he was probably one of the people he just mentioned.
Duan Qing glanced around the crowd and found that almost everyone's eyes were focused on Senior Sister Su, except for one person.
Xuanjing is also meditating with his eyes closed.
Duan Qing's eyes stayed on Xuanjing for a while. He didn't know why this guy came. Could it be because of Senior Sister Su?
Qian Datong on the side saw Duan Qing sizing up Xuan Jing, leaned over to him and whispered. "That guy's name is Xuan Jing. He is the direct disciple of the headmaster. His cultivation is unfathomable. It is said that he can compete with Senior Brother Bai of Biyun Peak. You'd better not provoke him."
After saying that, Qian Datong looked sideways at Xuan Jing, then at Su Yutong, and hummed. "Huh, that guy Xuanjing is probably here for Senior Sister Su. Why haven't I seen him on duty before? This time he came with Senior Sister Su! He must not have any good intentions..."
Ignoring what Qian Datong said next to him, Duan Qing was thinking about this spiritual mine rotation. If his guess was correct, no matter who Bai Hao or Xuan Jing of Biyun Peak was, he would hope to catch up with or even surpass them in the future. .
Duan Qing, who was immersed in the beautiful fantasy of the future, did not notice that at some point, Qian Datong's hand was already on his shoulder.
