CHAPTER 586: CHAPTER 207: THIS IS THE REALM OF ME, ZHOU QING! (6K)_2

After getting up, he looked around, glanced at the house he had lived in for nine months, and felt a wave of gratitude in his heart.

After bowing respectfully, he headed towards Elder Weng’s general store.

"Yo, have you struck it rich recently? You’ve even changed into a new set of clothes, and they look pretty decent!" As soon as he walked in, Elder Weng started teasing him with a smile.

Zhou Qing smiled slightly, then took out a top-grade Spirit Stone and two pills from his Storage Ring, and gently placed them on the table.

"Elder Weng, I have to leave. Keep these two pills, they should help extend your life somewhat. Also, this is a Spirit Stone that cultivators need, keep it with you as it can help strengthen your body. But do not show it to others, or it could bring disaster!"

Zhou Qing warned seriously.

Elder Weng looked at the items on the table, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he smiled and said: "Where did you get these? They must be expensive."

Zhou Qing said: "Not expensive, just picked up while fishing. Take care, I’ll visit you when I have time!"

After saying this, he bowed solemnly to Elder Weng, then turned and left.

Watching Zhou Qing’s departing figure, Elder Weng’s face showed a meaningful smile.

"I guess this counts as part of our karma. Since it’s karma, it must be repaid."

After these words, he slowly closed his eyes, leaned back in his bamboo chair, and started humming an unknown tune.

It was clear that at this moment, he was in a very good mood.

...

Considering the time, Second Uncle should come to pick him up in three months.

To avoid a wasted trip, Zhou Qing decided to go back and inform Second Uncle of his current situation and upcoming plans, perhaps even refine them a bit in the process.

A few days later, when he returned to the academy, Zhou Qing was surprised to find that the atmosphere had significantly revived compared to when he first left.

"Has the investigation in the Eastern Domain been completed?" Zhou Qing wondered.

Soon after, when it came to the knowledge of Old Fourth’s return, Yan Xiaohu excitedly ran over from the other side, holding an old hen.

"Hey, you guy, no news for so long, I was really starting to..."

Before he could finish his words, Yan Xiaohu suddenly froze, and the smile on his face stiffened instantly.

At this moment, Zhou Qing stood there quietly, exuding an indescribable aura, bringing Yan Xiaohu an unprecedented sense of oppression.

It was like facing Elder Wuzhu who guarded the gates, which made his pupils shrink suddenly and stirred up a huge wave in his heart.

"Don’t tell me, have you reached Divinity Transformation?" Yan Xiaohu swallowed nervously, his voice trembling slightly.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but chuckle lightly: "Third senior brother, please don’t tease me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but soon Zhou Qing leisurely added: "I just broke through to Great Perfection and gained a preliminary insight into the Realm, it’s no big deal!"

Yan Xiaohu: "..."

[Heart Mirror Points +9]

In an instant, the previously striking tag [Simply inhuman junior brother] above the dazed Yan Xiaohu’s head transformed into [Utterly ghost-like junior brother].

"Are you kidding me?" After a long while, Yan Xiaohu finally came back to his senses, still full of disbelief.

It’s only been nine months, I haven’t even made it past mid Nascent Soul stage yet.

Is the difference between Earth Vein Foundation Establishment and Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment this big?

"Senior Brother Zhou!" At this moment, a crisp call sounded.

Lu Yaoyao, like a cheerful fawn, ran over excitedly.

Behind her, a stern-faced Li Daoxuan followed.

However, when Li Daoxuan sensed the distinct, powerful aura emanating from Zhou Qing, his steps suddenly halted, and he couldn’t help but open his mouth wide in shock.

[Heart Mirror Points +9]

The tag above his head [Somewhat brave scoundrel] instantly transformed into [Exaggeratedly brave scoundrel].

Lu Yaoyao, oblivious to this, joyfully came to Zhou Qing’s side, deliberately circulating her Spiritual Power to exude the thick mid Nascent Soul stage aura.

"Senior Brother Zhou, where have you been all this time?" Although Lu Yaoyao asked this, her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

How could Zhou Qing not notice this girl’s little thoughts? Seeing her breakthrough to mid Nascent Soul stage, he felt gratified.

"Congratulations! I brought you some delicious food!" Zhou Qing said as he smilingly took out eight exquisite snack boxes from his Storage Ring.

Each snack box was filled with carefully bought pastries according to the recipe manual she had once given him, and the aroma filled the air instantly.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao’s eyes squinted into a crescent, feeling extremely happy, she said: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou!"

...

Inside the Cave Mansion!

The fragrance of tea lingered, as Zhou Qing poured tea for everyone.

With a calm expression, he slowly began to recount his experiences in Vast Mansion over the past few months.

Everyone thought Second Uncle had taken him to another place, but it turned out he was right under their noses.

The reason Zhou Qing elaborated in detail was to allow them to gain some experience from his journey, especially Lu Yaoyao and Yan Xiaohu.

After all, sooner or later, they would also tread this path.

They chatted for a while longer, and the topic gradually shifted to Second Uncle.

Only then did Zhou Qing learn that since Second Uncle had sent him away, he hadn’t come back, and no one knew where he was.

"Could it be that he went to the Pocket World alone?" Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

He wondered if now he could push open the first coffin lid without using the [Giant Power Amplification Array].

But if Second Uncle really went back to the Taiqing Sect, even if he managed to open the lid, he wouldn’t find him.

After all, there were countless Wandering Souls inside, and dense fog pervaded, finding someone would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
