The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 76: From now on, Zhou, you are my own younger brother

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: From now on, Zhou, you are my own younger brother

"I’ve made it, Daoist!"

At this moment, within Zhou Qing’s Dantian, a Sword Embryo had impressively taken shape, with arcs of thunder rolling across its surface.

Furthermore, strands of black and white energy flowed out from the Spirit Core and into the Sword Embryo.

"It only consumed eight Thunder-Invoking Talismans in total, and the progress was much faster than I expected. It looks like, with a bit of rest, I can start practicing the Sword Technique tomorrow."

Zhou Qing was very excited.

"Third Senior Brother once said, this ’Thunder Sword Skills’ can only be cultivated by those extraordinarily talented, and has nothing to do with ordinary people. I wonder what he would think if he knew I had formed a Thunder-shaped Sword Embryo in just two days?"

Zhou Qing inspected internally once more, becoming increasingly satisfied, as if he were dreaming.

"The gratitude I owe Second Uncle is immense!"

Zhou Qing knew that all this was due to the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. He was well aware of his own talent, otherwise, he wouldn’t have only reached the seventh layer of Qi Condensation after so many years of apprenticeship.

Moreover, when he entered the sect, the master had already tested his talent, which was just average.

Therefore, over the years, the master hadn’t paid much attention to them. After all, the saying goes, "The master leads you to the door, but cultivation depends on the individual."

Thus, when he succeeded in Human Dao Foundation Establishment, the master was happy but not overly surprised.

"From now on, I need to act more low-key, otherwise, it would be too unreasonable!"

Zhou Qing made up his mind, then noticed the scent of roast meat on him, and his stomach growled in protest.

After tidying up briefly, he headed straight for the kitchen.

It was only then that he heard the surrounding disciples gossiping that the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect and the Cangyan Daoist Palace people had arrived.

Zhou Qing recalled that Third Senior Brother had mentioned a few days ago that these two groups would come.

One came specifically to express thanks, and the other to apologize.

"A weasel greeting a chicken for New Year’s—no good intentions!" It was a sure thing that the Cangyan Daoist Palace was untrustworthy, but it wasn’t time to flip the table yet.

As for Cyan Feather Immortal Sect, they also needed to be on guard.

However, now that he had two remaining slots for his talent skill, Heart Mirror Vision, he could bind Immortal Xuan You to it.

To see what she really thought of him. If it was a "dead man" note like Gao Xuan’s, he could roughly determine whether she was part of the opposing force’s power.

The so-called dead and missing individuals were just pawns in her scheme to garner sympathy.

If not, at least it could rule out Cyan Feather Immortal Sect, and shift the focus to Golden Thunder Sect and Phecda Sect.

......

"Junior Brother Zhou!"

Just as Zhou Qing was about to activate the barrier to his residence, a somewhat familiar female voice sounded from behind.

Turning around, he saw Cui Yingying running over, with a beaming Third Senior Brother following behind.

"Senior Sister Cui, Cui!"

Seeing Cui Yingying, Zhou Qing felt a bit guilty.

The last time he was caught chasing chickens at home, she had caught him red-handed while leading a tour group.

She had even revoked the reward for catching voyeurs afterward, practically exposing him publicly.

Though intended to rescue them this time, after all the commotion, he hadn’t even seen their faces during the whole ordeal.

Noticing Zhou Qing’s somewhat timid gaze, Cui Yingying felt even more self-reproachful.

"You, still remember me?" Cui Yingying tried to make her voice sound gentler.

She, like Yan Xiaohu, had joined the sect years ago, but now, due to her situation, it led a junior brother, who joined later, into the current state.

Thinking of this, she felt even more guilty.

Hearing Cui Yingying’s words, Zhou Qing froze for a moment.

Looking down on me?

Of course, I remember you!

No, is she mocking me?

Or is she hinting at something?

Before Zhou Qing could say anything, Cui Yingying spoke first: "Did it hurt?"

"What?"

"Being struck by lightning." Cui Yingying said.

You know about that?

Seeing his Third Senior Brother winking at him, Zhou Qing suddenly realized what had happened.

It seemed she was present while he was practicing earlier.

He had been so focused that he hadn’t noticed.

Quickly, he shook his head: "No pain, no pain, I’m used to it."

Hearing the word "used to," Cui Yingying felt even more ashamed, then quickly patted her storage bag, taking out five bottles of pills.

"These are pills for nourishing Heart and Spirit, of excellent quality. Additionally, here are six mid-grade Spirit Stones for your daily cultivation. Thank you very much!"

Cui Yingying stuffed everything into Zhou Qing’s arms, then took a step back and bowed deeply.

Zhou Qing was a bit dumbfounded by the scene.

What? Are all core disciples of Cyan Feather Immortal Sect this wealthy?

Why do Third Senior Brother and I live so frugally then? fгeewebnovёl.com

This gift is too generous!

Yan Xiaohu quickly stepped forward to assist: "That’s enough, you might make Fourth Brother overthink and recall unpleasant memories!"

Only then did Cui Yingying rise, her eyes slightly red.

"Junior Brother Zhou, from now on, you are like my own brother. If you have time, do come to Cyan Feather Immortal Sect. I will entertain you well. I must go now."

Cui Yingying said with a choked voice, hurriedly turning to leave, fearing that her tears would fall.

She couldn’t help but think of the things Yan had shared with her, vivid scenes played in her mind.

Especially when she personally witnessed Zhou Qing’s self-harm.

On the way, Brother Yan repeatedly reminded her not to cry.

Otherwise, it might cause psychological trauma to Junior Brother Zhou.

"This person is really something, Fourth Brother, you should rest now. I’ll go follow her and see what’s going on!"

While speaking, Yan Xiaohu skillfully took two bottles of pills and two mid-grade Spirit Stones from Zhou Qing’s arms before quickly running off.

Leaving Zhou Qing standing there in a daze.

......

Back in his residence, Zhou Qing took out all his belongings.

Now he had six mid-grade Spirit Stones, seventeen thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, and a Spirit Egg.

Previously in the Pocket World, he had lost everything for a broken sword, now he was wealthy again.

What a fickle world, just like sausage within sausage!

Without missing a beat, he sat cross-legged, focusing on recovery.

The next day, he took his old hen to Divine Peak for a walk.

"Senior Brother Zhou, why are you here? Are you feeling better now?"

When Lu Yaoyao saw Zhou Qing, she was both happy and afraid, quickly approaching.

After all, the people from Cangyan Daoist Palace were present.

Zhou Qing looked at the "Smart" note above her head, puzzled.

Two days ago, while first using Thunder Talismans, system notifications kept ringing.

He wondered why they were all starting to change their thoughts about him.

"Much better. Oh, Junior Sister Lu, do you know where Immortal Xuan You is?" Zhou Qing asked quietly.

Lu Yaoyao was stunned, quickly showing an understanding look.

"Do you have feelings for her?" Lu Yaoyao asked eagerly.

Zhou Qing was speechless.

What are you thinking all day long? Still trying to matchmake?

However, seeing Lu Yaoyao’s somewhat mischievous eyes, Zhou Qing suddenly froze, seemingly understanding something.

Previously, Lu Yaoyao kept asking if he liked silver hair, and he thought she was hinting at something.

Since she had strands of silver mixed in her black hair, he casually said he liked green hair.

Then Immortal Xuan You appeared, with silver hair mixed with some green, leading to this matchmaking mess by Lu Yaoyao.

Understood, all understood!

The problem arose from this.

Isn’t she interfering too much in my personal life, or showing too much concern?

"Junior Sister Lu, actually, I lied to you!" Zhou Qing said with a serious face.
