Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 128 Qinling Rising Dragon Qi

After pointing out to the Quanzhen disciples that the changes in the mountains were related to him and that they did not need to feel anxious, afraid or worried, Qiu Chuji chatted for a while with Liu Chuxuan, Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong, Ma Yu and others who had always been close to him, gave them some guidance on their cultivation, and then went straight to the nameless valley where Chi Bi lived.

The relationship between them is still good, but Qiu Chuji's realm and strength are too far away from others. With their current temperament, it is difficult for them to get along with him calmly. If Qiu Chuji stays with them for a long time, it will make them feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, Qiu Chuji needs to give them time to grow, both in terms of cultivation, character, and cognition.

As for Qiu Chuji's own growth trajectory, it is not universal, so it is better not to say too much about it.

The Nameless Valley is actually quite far from the headquarters of the Quanzhen Sect, and the effect of the Juyuan Formation has not yet covered it, so Qiu Chuji plans to use more than a hundred demon pills to set up a small formation in the Nameless Valley. This will not only provide Chi Bi with a better environment for cultivation, but also a place for him to hide in peace when he occasionally returns to this world, or to practice in seclusion.

On the way to the nameless valley, Qiu Chuji discovered many spiritual animals migrating towards Chongyang Palace.

Their senses are very sharp and they have obviously noticed the changes in the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth in the direction of Chongyang Palace.

Qiu Chuji flew up to the clouds and used the Emperor's Qi-gazing Technique to observe the situation. After seeing clearly that there was no ferocious beast comparable to the Red Viper heading towards Chongyang Palace, he temporarily stopped paying attention to the matter.

He believed that the disciples of Quanzhen Sect could withstand some "small" beast waves.

He has provided the best training environment for the Quanzhen Taoists. Even now, the Quanzhen Sect has no shortage of various superior martial arts. After the establishment of the new dynasty, not only has the status of the Quanzhen Sect risen, but the material supplies in all aspects are also superior in this era. If this is the case, Qiu Chuji still needs to do everything to perfection and shoulder all the difficulties. Then what is the point of accepting so many Quanzhen disciples?
Do you want to find a flaw in Qiu Chuji and his entire sect?

Manage logistics well, take less actions and show up less.

This was the general direction that Qiu Chuji had decided earlier on regarding how he should manage and take care of the Quanzhen Sect.

As long as he, the pillar of Quanzhen Sect, shows more symbolic significance rather than the usual dependence, it will be less easy for Quanzhen disciples to become arrogant or take all Qiu Chuji's care for granted, and become resentful if he fails to take good care of them in the future.

In this world, the Quanzhen Sect, which was originally on the right track, became extremely weak as a whole by the generation of Zhen Zhibing and Zhao Zhijing. This was because the pressure from all sides, including the martial arts world, the imperial court, and alien races, was borne solely by the Seven Quanzhen Sect members. As a result, these seven old guys, already in their old age, still had to constantly clean up the mess for their disciples, and in the end, they raised ungrateful people, which led to the destruction of the ancestral temple in Zhongnan Mountain, and the Seven Quanzhen Sect members each led their disciples to scatter in the martial arts world.

To put it more cruelly, only after people have been beaten by society will they know how to be grateful and understand how hard it is to have someone to support and care for them.

The longer they are kept in a greenhouse, the more likely they are to develop a rebellious heart.

This is also why, although Qiu Chuji set up the Juyuan Formation for Chongyang Palace, it was only the Juyuan Formation.

It's not that he doesn't have more means to help Quanzhen Sect directly preserve this blessed land filled with Yuanqi bestowed by him, but if he really did so, he would not be helping them, but harming them instead.

Those who sit on a mountain of gold but have no one to shake their position do not know that everything they have achieved is hard-earned.

Did Qiu Chuji's magic pill come for nothing?

Wasn't it also obtained by him one by one through 'hard work' from other people?
In the nameless valley, Qiu Chuji was soaking in the hot spring water and chatting with Chi Hui.

There is no fixed topic, I just say a few words whatever comes to mind.

Chi Hui didn't pay much attention to Qiu Chuji's words. Instead, he was particularly interested in the food and wine he brought, and was opening the bags one by one to "taste" them.

If they come across something that suits their taste, they will swallow it all together with the packaging bag. Anyway, they have a good digestive function, so even if they eat a big stone, they can digest it quickly.

"You must study and practice diligently the Qi-circulation method I taught you. When there is a chance, I will try to bring you to another world to broaden your horizons."

“Of course, if you go to the zombie world, you have to cultivate your character better. It’s too easy for demons and monsters to go astray in that world.” Qiu Chuji was still chattering while Chi Hui continued to eat heartily.

Looking at the heartless appearance of Chigui, Qiu Chuji just smiled and did not force it to have any extra response.

After taking a bath, Qiu Chuji began to set up the formation. Because the formation was much smaller and the points where the Yuan Qi overflowed only needed to be fixed and concentrated in a few places in the valley, it took Qiu Chuji less than half an hour to complete the setting of the formation.

Ultimately, it is because this formation is relatively simple, especially since it does not require much external Qi. It mainly relies on the demon pills used in the formation to emit their own Qi.

After the formation was set up, Qiu Chuji led the Red Snake to one of the only three Qi emission nodes in the valley and let it stay there, feeling the relatively ordinary Qi of heaven and earth that was more than ten times richer.

Oh...Roar!

The red viper let out a long cry of pleasure, a sound that was completely free from the coldness of a snake.

The four small bulges on the belly seemed to have grown a little bigger, as if new organs could grow at any time.

"You should practice well and grow legs, then shed your skin and turn into a dragon. Then I will have a dragon and a tiger by my side!" Qiu Chuji said while patting Chigui's belly.

When he touched it, he felt that the bulge was still soft, without any bones or legs. While speaking, Qiu Chuji had an idea and released the tiger from the small world, letting it roam in the valley.

As soon as it suddenly appeared, the tiger roared and pounced towards Qiu Chuji, intending to act coquettishly.

Snapped!
The red snake swept its long tail and blew the tiger away like a ball.

Although Menghu has good talent and has been taught by Qiu Chuji, he has only been practicing for a short time and is still far behind Chigui in strength.

"Ouch!"

The tiger turned over and got up, not convinced, and pounced on the red snake again with its fangs and claws bared.

Originally it was just trying to win favor, but now it has personal grudges.

It's a big cat, how can it be defeated by a snake?

Snapped!
The tiger was whipped away again, shaking its big head and turning twice on the spot. It seemed to be dazed and actually turned in the wrong direction.

"Okay! Senior Chigui! Don't bully it. It is Yinrui, my mount and disciple. You should get along well with each other in the future. As a senior, please give it more advice." Qiu Chuji said as he patted Chigui's scales which were slightly warm, not cold and slippery.

Chigui lowered his head and let out a low growl, as if responding to Qiu Chuji and agreeing to his request.

Yinrui was also very honest. After he came back to his senses, he no longer pounced on me. He just made a whimpering sound, like a baby weighing several hundred pounds.

For several days in a row, Chigui and the tiger Yinrui were at the condensation point of the Yuan Qi in the formation in the valley, breathing in and out Yuan Qi and cultivating true Qi. The tiger's body was still growing, and now including its tail it was already six meters long, a huge beast. The gold, white and black patterns were becoming brighter and obvious, and the word "King" on its forehead even had some vaguely more wonderful changes.

The red viper is even more extraordinary. It is trying to condense a demon pill.

After taking this step, it is no longer just a spiritual beast, but a real monster.

Of course, Chi Viper is not one of those monsters that are born and raised by nature without any guidance. In its early years, it was guided by a Taoist master who lived in seclusion in Mount Zhongnan. It gained rationality and understood human nature. Maybe it even read Taoist books. Later, it was guided by Qiu Chuji in its practice and embarked on the right path.

If it is refined into a demon pill, it will not just condense an energy crystal in the body, it will be closer to the state of Qiu Chuji's "golden pill", and can be used to perform various spells, enhance the connection with heaven and earth, and more easily perceive the essence of many truths. The benefits are numerous.

As the Yuan Qi rolled, the red snake opened its mouth wide, and a translucent, crystal clear, light red inner elixir condensed at the huge snake mouth.

The inner elixir spins around, drawing in the abundant vital energy here, with a spiritual glow.

This inner elixir is the purest and most beautiful of all the inner elixirs Qiu Chuji has ever seen.

Although it is still small, it has great potential.

Maybe one day, it will be able to evolve into a dragon ball.

"Congratulations! Congratulations to you fellow Taoist for taking a big step forward and officially entering the extraordinary practice." Qiu Chuji congratulated Chigui, who had his eyes wide open after collecting the elixir and regulating his breathing.

The bulges under the red snake's belly squirmed, and it actually "walked" a few steps carrying it, moving slowly and firmly to Qiu Chuji's side.

"Thank...thank you~!" Chigui squeezed out two words with great difficulty from his throat. Although it sounded quite strange and a bit harsh, there was no doubt that Chigui had started speaking, and it was no longer just a simple roar and neighing.

Yin Rui watched enviously from the side and opened his mouth, but the only sounds that came out were roars or whimpers.

It scratched its neck with its claws, looking a little angry.

The cat is unhappy!
"You are too polite, senior! This is how it is with fellow Daoist. I am helping you today because you helped me in the past. Similarly, I may need your help in the future."

"Only if we work together can we see a brighter future!" said Qiu Chuji.

At present, the gap between Chigui and him seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and the so-called mutual help seems to have become a polite phrase.

But Qiu Chuji was speaking from the heart.

When people have luck, monsters also have destiny. Once luck comes, who knows if they can't soar to the sky?
It is easy to find people who share the same path with you, but it is hard to find a fellow Taoist as sincere as Chigui.

"Okay~!" Although it was difficult, Chigui still spoke.
