The 72 palaces' master · Qingluo's foundation

  Yue Qing sat on the bed, his thoughts still disorganized, when the door suddenly opened and a man walked in from outside. It was Jin Shenzi, who truly lived up to his nickname "Jade Pole True Man". He had a tall and slender build, with an air of elegance and freedom about him. He wore a white long shirt embroidered with silver thread and white peony flowers, with a dragon-patterned jade belt around his waist. At first glance, he looked like a noble young master from the royal palace.

  Jin Shenzi was outside listening to the sound, fearing that Lei Qilong would not treat Wei Fengniang well. The wicked woman had to force herself to take action personally, and when she returned to Huashan, it wouldn't be good to explain to several close friends. He heard a crisp slap, followed by heavy objects falling to the ground, and Lei Qilong kowtowed for mercy, knowing that things had gone wrong. He hastily pushed open the door and came in, fortunately, he had also been with Wei Fengniang before, so there was no taboo. As soon as he entered the room, he slapped Lei Qilong first, even harder than Yue Qing's slap earlier, then kicked him to the ground, leaving Lei Qilong covered in blood.

  Jin Chenzi accompanied Xiao to the window and said, "He is new to serving people, so he doesn't know how to use his strength properly. Don't mind it, I'll teach him a lesson later." He carefully observed the expression of the person on the bed, afraid that they would ask him to accompany them personally. Seeing no reaction, he quickly continued, "We have a new junior brother in our sect, named Qin Lang, who is also handsome and elegant. Why don't I call him over for you to see?"

  "Qin Lang?" Yue Qing looked at him and asked, "I remember that Jin Shen Luohan Fa Yuan had a disciple named Qin Lang."

  "Not bad, it's him!" Jin Chenzi said with a hint of flattery, "He was originally Fa Yuan's disciple. That year when Fa Yuan came to see my master, Qin Lang followed him and was spotted by my master, who said that in many years, Huashan Sect had not seen such a talented disciple. He insisted on taking Qin Lang away from Fa Yuan, almost forcing him to give him up. My junior brother's talent is indeed impressive, and in just two or three years, he has already mastered a set of skills and earned the nickname 'Little Fire God'."

  Yu Qing fell silent for a moment: "You go out first, I want to be alone and quiet for a while."

  "Yes, yes!" Jin Shenzi was overjoyed as if he had been granted a great amnesty. He turned around and walked out, not forgetting to scold Lei Qilong, "Don't you hurry up and thank the immortal lady for sparing your life? You good-for-nothing, just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back!"

  Lei Qi Long cried and knelt before the bed, knocking his head on the ground. Yue Qing saw how pitiful he looked and said to Jin Shen Zi: "This child is not bad, let me keep him instead. It's been many years since I've had a decent disciple enter my Green Spiral Gorge."

  Jin Shenzi heard this and was somewhat reluctant to give up, only because Lei Qi Long looked extremely good, although still young, but already showing signs of being a top-notch handsome guy. He wanted to cultivate him for a few more years before sending him out to win over the female fellow disciples and other Taoist practitioners outside, in exchange for some precious treasures and techniques. After investing for half a year, he couldn't bear the thought of his efforts going down the drain, and was at a loss for what to do.

  Yue Qing disapproved of his behavior and said in a low voice: "What? Can't bear to part with it?"

  "Where! Where! Being able to follow you, sister, is his good fortune!" Jin Shenzi said with a flattering smile.

  "In that case, get out of here quickly!" Yue Qing rubbed his temples and frowned.

  Jin Chenzi thought that the other party was angry because he didn't agree to accompany him personally, so he didn't get angry and agreed, turning around and leaving.

  Yue Qing looked at Lei Qilong who was still kneeling on the ground, sobbing quietly: "You go down first and find some medicine to bandage your head."

  Lei Qi Long got up again and knocked his head on the ground, wiped away a tear, and retreated.

  Yue Qing got up from bed, tidied up his clothes, calmed down, and began to sort out Wei Fengniang's estate. First was the magic skills she had studied. He skipped over the demonic scriptures, as there were not many demonic teachings in the world that could surpass the ten demonic scriptures. The magic skills Wei Fengniang had obtained were biased towards Western magic, but incomplete, seemingly only a third of it. As for the Buddhist Vajra secret method, he also glanced through it hastily. He had an innate aversion to Buddhist magic, possibly due to his emotions from past lives, and he detested anything related to his Third Brother. There was also the "Su Nu Jing" which specialized in bed skills, allowing one to absorb yang energy to supplement yin energy, or vice versa, ultimately refining yin and yang into pre-heavenly yuanqi, nourishing oneself, and making it easy to defeat a hundred people, condense golden elixirs with a thousand people, merge with the primordial infant with ten thousand people, and ascend in broad daylight with a hundred million people! However, the prerequisite was that both men and women had to be virgins; otherwise, the resulting golden elixir would not be pure, the primordial infant would not be clean, and it would take twice the effort for half the effect. Most people could only accumulate some yuanqi.

  He was interested in Wei Fengniang's Tienshan School Taoist techniques and the Jade Pool Immortal Scripture. Although there were only three short chapters, they recorded profound and subtle contents, even with some similarities to the Tongxuan Zhenjing. In addition, there was also the Guangchengzi Dao Book, a lower volume that he had already memorized firmly, and Wei Fengniang's book was translated by him. There was also another volume, which recorded the techniques of many side-door cultivators over 5,000 years ago, such as the ancient corpse-refining technique, the sealing technique, three sets of sword techniques, and many strange door arrays.

  Yu Qing examined Wei Fengniang's magical tools again, and there were over a dozen miscellaneous items among them. There was a set of jade feather cloud clothes that wasn't just made from the feathers of some bird species. When worn on the body, it shone with a halo around the head, auspicious colors surrounded the body, and auspicious clouds supported the feet, which could avoid knives, water, fire, and other dangers. There was also a Qiankun fog and dew net, a Yaochi cold soul mirror, both of which she had obtained along with the remaining volume of the Yaochi Heavenly Book when she was cultivating at the top of Tian Shan. The rest were all magical tools that she had cultivated herself, such as the Yellow Cloud Nail and the Magic Fire Banner, none of which were impressive.

  Yue Qing thought back, when he first heard about the Eight Scenic Spots' divine technique from Zhu Hong, he used the Ten Demon Scripture's Kindling Demon Great Technique to plant a demon seed in Wei Fengniang's body. At that time, he didn't think it would be successful, as Zhu Hong's cultivation of this technique hadn't reached this level either. He could only disturb some heavenly mechanisms, making people unable to calculate or find them, and the realm of dividing spirits and refining forms was just hearsay. Unexpectedly, the demon seed sprouted, and it actually attracted his divided original spirit over.

  Due to the cultivation of this magical art, the main yuan Shen does not have any intention at all. The divided yuan Shen cannot actively seek out others to seize and occupy, only when the other party has an urgent attachment emotion can the divided yuan Shen be passively attracted over. Moreover, the divided yuan Shen also cannot leave at will, unless it waits for the person who was seized to eliminate their obsession.

  Yue Qing thought to herself, since she had inherited Wei Fengniang's foundation, she should make some achievements and not let it go to waste. However, her current disciples were only eight useless individuals who couldn't accomplish anything but cause trouble and make enemies. Besides them, there were two lamas in the nearby Clear Far Temple, named Fanjia Gaoyin and Kaishabu, who were the original owners of Qingluo Palace. They had been robbed by Wei Fengniang and escaped to Clear Far Temple, where they pretended to occupy the mountain pass and gather information for Wei Fengniang while secretly plotting to kill her and take back Qingluo Palace. It was impossible to let them live peacefully alongside her, so these matters needed to be dealt with as soon as possible!

  Yue Qing walked out of the grand hall, and Wei Fengniang's eight disciples were all waiting in the garden. Seeing him come out, they immediately surrounded him. With Wei Fengniang's memories, Yue Qing recognized them all, and was even very familiar with them. For example, Gong Sunwu loved to eat mung bean steamed buns, and Xu Renlong had a birthmark on his thigh... He shook his head and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

  "Master, we've all been waiting for you." Yin Hongqiu smiled and said, "Master, that kid from Mount Hua Sect is useless. You don't have to go looking for them again. Whatever you need, we'll accompany you."

  He was saying as he walked up the steps, wanting to pull his master's hand, but before he could even touch his sleeve, Yue Qing raised his hand and slapped him, causing him to flip over and roll into a flower bush. When he got up again, his mouth and nose were bleeding. Although he didn't know why his master was angry, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying repeatedly: "Master forgive me! Master forgive me!"

  That handsome young man, proud of his own good looks, originally the most favored one, came over to grab Master's arm, just about to open his mouth to persuade him, was already pinched on the neck by Yue Qing, lifted high and thrown out more than three zhang away, directly crashing into a fake mountain, for a long time unable to catch his breath.

  The other six people saw that even the most favored Xu Renlong was beaten, and they knew that their master was in a bad mood today, so they quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.

  Yue Qing said coldly: "From now on, all of you must behave yourselves! If anyone dares to be disrespectful to me again, the lighter punishment will be cutting off your hands, and the heavier one will be beheading! Remember that!"

  "Yes, yes, yes! The disciples will definitely remember it in their hearts and dare not be presumptuous again!"

  Yue Qingdao said: "You all go and change into neat clothes, tidy up your belongings, and come back to hear my verdict!"
