Chapter 481 The God of Mud Embryo
After leaving Qin Ming and the others, Zhou Qing separated from Wu Duguan.
Wu Duguan was seriously injured and had been busy all night. Now that people from Zhongtian City have come, he can finally heal his injuries in peace.
Zhou Qing had no problem. The only person he took action personally was Lord Yin Tian, but he often used other means to deal with this demon.
The only one who received a blow head-on was resisted by Zhou Qing in various ways.
After the battle last night, looking up, he, who was fighting against the strongest enemy, was in the best condition.
It is true that things are impermanent.
After returning to his residence, Zhou Qing set up a lot of shielding to ensure that no one could peep at him, and then began to check last night's harvest.
After a long night of running around, it’s time to feel refreshed.
Last night, he got five treasure boxes of two colors and several treasure boxes of other colors. This harvest is really not small.
The five two-color treasure chests meant that he had five Yinshen True Blood-level treasures in his pocket.
After this month of accumulation, it is estimated that only a small number of Yinshen True Blood cultivators are richer than him.
If you rob him, you will immediately become rich.
Because he has the permission of the experts, he can go wherever he wants. It is very convenient and the efficiency of opening treasure boxes can be said to be greatly increased.
Looking at these treasures, Zhou Qing sighed in his heart, it must be a county town.
The number of two-color treasure chests he had obtained here in the county city was already quite large.
Just in the two days when he and Bai Tian's father and daughter arrived at the county town, there were a total of seven two-color treasure boxes, as well as the gains from his previous visit.
The quality of the treasure chests in Heiyun Town and other counties in Tianyue County is simply incomparable to those in Tianyue City.
Not only are there an increase in the number of two-color treasure chests, but the general level of treasure chests here is also higher than in other counties.
Wooden treasure chests, stone treasure chests, and those other things have basically never appeared.
However, not every prestigious place in the county city can produce two-color treasure chests. For example, Queyuedan Pavilion, Qianbingfang, and the Sheriff's Mansion are all just gold treasure chests.
Even the Golden Dragon Martial Arts School, one of the four major martial arts schools, only had gold treasure boxes, which made Zhou Qing feel unlucky at that time.
Does Jinlong Martial Arts School really only withdraw gold?
I wonder what amazing gains Zhou Qing would have gained if he were in Yujing now.
Of course, if you are in Yujing, it is inevitable that the treasure chests will generally have extremely high levels, but the greater probability is that Zhou Qing is stuck on a treasure chest and cannot get it. This month's golden finger is equivalent to being scrapped.
For example, if a treasure chest is placed in Queen Qi's Palace...
Then Zhou Qing can open a chicken.
First, he looked at the treasures in various treasure chests from low to high. After seeing more, Zhou Qing's eyesight also improved. Even if he didn't know the origin of some treasures, he could roughly judge their functions.
Unknown treasures are kept separately and will be asked by his royal appraiser to take a look later.
There are not many of these treasures below two colors that Zhou Qing can directly use, and only those that assist cultivation can be used directly.
Furthermore, if you have nothing to do, you can read more about martial arts and Taoism to broaden your horizons, or materials and talismans, which can occasionally save people in emergencies.
Most of them were collected by him for future emergencies.
For example, if there is a shortage of alchemy ingredients or something, he can just take it out, which is very convenient.
However, even if Zhou Qing himself does not use them, it does not affect the value of these treasures at all.
When you encounter something in need in the future, you can exchange it with the treasures you have accumulated now.
You can be so rich that you have everything you need, but you can never be so poor that you have nothing.
Then Zhou Qing began to look at the treasures that were opened from the five two-color treasure boxes. The first thing was extremely conspicuous, and Zhou Qing was not worried about it after opening the box.
A tree.
That's right, he opened another sacred tree with unknown functions.
They are almost wholesale trees.
The tree was black, and there were no fruits on it. Instead, there were flower buds. Zhou Qing counted them carefully, and there were thirty-six flower buds in total.
This corresponds to the number of fruits on the sacred tree that he opened from the treasure chest of the Yuan family earlier. There were also thirty-six green fruits hanging there.
Perhaps the number thirty-six is a lower limit for this level of sacred tree?
The surface of the flower bones on the sacred tree in front of him has various patterns. Zhou Qing looked at it and felt slightly dizzy, and his soul power was rippling.
Such a reaction made Zhou Qing roughly understand which treasure this tree was.
It is probably the sacred tree corresponding to the soul Taoism, but its specific function is not yet clear.
Zhou Qing secretly said in his heart, "I got this tree from the Huang family. Although the Huang family has both Taoism and martial arts, they are still superior in Taoism after all. They planted a sacred tree of souls. That’s reasonable.”
"In this way, including the sacred tree opened by the Yuan family, I have two such treasures, both martial arts and soul."
The two major families in Tianyue City "give "He bought two sacred trees from Zhou Qing, which made Zhou Qing very satisfied.
A sacred tree that can continue to develop is undoubtedly much more precious than a single Yin spiritual plant. After all, the latter will be gone once it is used.
Zhou Qing put away the sacred tree with satisfaction and planned to plant it when he went to Xuandu Temple and obtained the status of a true disciple.
There is no need to leave this kind of soul tree to Taibai Martial Arts School.
Taibai is a martial arts gym, not a Taoist gym.
The second two-color treasure was a white lotus. Zhou Qing looked at it and couldn't tell its origin, so he put the lotus away again.
This lotus was obtained from the treasure chest that was refreshed at the battle site with the Tianmu Cult last night.
Zhou Qing estimated that this lotus flower should be very precious. After all, it was a treasure chest exclusive for big events.
The third two-color piece was a piece of metal the size of an adult. This size surprised Zhou Qing.
The metal is black and has strange lines on it.
“A piece of divine gold?”
Zhou Qing secretly guessed, but he couldn’t recognize it, so he put it away solemnly.
This is obtained from the treasure chest in Dingwu Division.
The fourth two-color treasure is a pill. There is no doubt that Zhou Qing cannot recognize this thing.
As for elixirs, he mostly learned about them from the inheritance of Sanyin Mountain God.
But the world is so big, compared to the complete alchemy, the Three Yin inheritance is just the tip of the iceberg.
The items in the treasure box are so random, and the probability that they happen to be recorded in the Three Yin inheritance is too small.
This elixir was obtained from Luoyu Martial Arts School, so Zhou Qing could only judge that it was probably a martial arts magic elixir.
The fifth two-color treasure is more strange. It is a statue of a god, about thirty centimeters high.
This thing is found in the treasure chest of Fengming Taoist Temple.
It is not surprising to see a statue of a god, but the face of this statue is blank, with no facial features, and it looks quite strange.
Zhou Qing tried to put his spiritual power into it, and then an even weirder change happened.
This statue directly swallowed some of Zhou Qing's mental power. After that, the statue's face suddenly began to glow, and its facial features gradually became prominent.
The most important thing is...
Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and the facial features of this statue that suddenly appeared were actually 70-80% similar to his.
Obviously, this looks exactly like him. What is going on?
At this time, a ray of light shot out from the statue and entered the center of his eyebrows. A lot of information appeared in his heart. The essence of the statue was gradually understood by Zhou Qing.
This is actually a treasure chest with its own introduction.
Zhou Qing had a look of surprise in his eyes, "It actually has this function..."
The function of this statue is to collect thought incense.
This ability seems a bit ordinary, because there are many ways to collect thought incense in this world.
Even if they are not gods, as long as they have cultivated to the Yin Shen realm, monks can basically perceive the thoughts and incense generated in living beings and collect them.
Even monks under the Yin God can contact and collect thought incense as long as they have unique methods.
This was the case with Su Tiannu in the Tianmu Sect stronghold in Qinghua County.
This power is very mysterious to the majority of casual cultivators, but to the major forces that have been passed down for a long time, there is a lot of research on the incense of thoughts.
Using thoughts and incense to refine elixirs, weapons, formations, and talismans has already been a complete process.
So if it only has the ability to collect thought incense, then this statue is really not worthy of the two-color treasure chest.
But its capabilities don't stop there.
For thought incense, this statue can both collect and purify it.
Thoughts and incense can be said to be one of the most complex forces in the world. Every school has its own way to purify it, with good and bad effects.
But if the one with the best effect in purifying this power is the god himself.
This power is one of the foundations of the gods. They are born with a unique ability to control thoughts and incense. This can be said to be an innate magical power given by heaven and earth.
Well, turning a human into a god is equivalent to being born into the world for the first time. It is reasonable to call the abilities he possesses directly after becoming a god an innate supernatural power.
This innate magical power to purify thoughts and incense involves the subsequent practice of the gods, and the effect is incomparable to the purification methods created by various schools.
This is not man-made, it is actually a gift from God.
Not even the gods dare to refine the thought incense they just collected to assist their practice. They have to purify it once or even several times before using it.
Refining thoughts and incense to improve strength is a result of the special nature of the gods themselves, and monks cannot imitate it.
Any monk who still has potential would not choose to refine the incense of thoughts to improve himself, so as not to pollute the origin of the soul. Even if it is purified, he would not dare to directly refine it. God is God and man is man.
But there is no doubt that the thought incense purified by the gods is the best and purest thought incense that can be obtained in this world, and it is extremely precious.
The legendary incense, which has no impurities at all, is as pure as white paper without any contaminating power, and can be directly used by monks to improve their cultivation without the slightest trouble. It has never appeared before. Just a legend.
Whether it is used to refine foreign objects, or a monk realizes that his potential has been exhausted, and wants to use thought incense to try it, God Refining Thought Incense is the best choice and will have the best effect.
And the ability of this statue is exactly the same as that of a god.
It can purify the collected thought incense, and finally reach the quality of divine refinement, which is no different from the thought incense purified by real gods.
In other words, this statue is equivalent to a clay-born god who only has the ability to collect and purify thoughts and incense.
With the idol, Zhou Qing has a god who serves him all the time in terms of thoughts and incense.
Because this is a two-color treasure, the quality of the ultimately purified divine incense is similar to that of a normal Yin Shen realm god.
After figuring out the function of this statue, Zhou Qing fell into deep thought.
This thing seems mysterious, but when it comes to thoughts and incense, in the final analysis, it still depends on the person.
The more people "worship God", the more thoughts and incense the God statue can collect.
But Da Qi prohibited the gods from spreading their faith.
“This thing is actually more effective in those chaotic and disorderly places, or in evil sects like the Tianmu Sect.”
Such thoughts came to Zhou Qing's mind.
But then he thought of another function of the statue.
Even if there is no way to publicly collect thought incense, he can still choose to do a purification business!
If anyone has incense that needs to be purified, but cannot find the gods to help, he can help generously and charge some handling fees afterwards.
And as we all know, when it comes to purification, some losses are normal, right?
"This treasure is quite interesting."
Zhou Qing thought for a while and called An Lang out.
After An Lang came out, he asked: "Master, what's the matter?"
When Zhou Qing was counting the treasure chests and harvesting them, he didn't let An Lang sense the outside.
Otherwise An Lang would find that he didn't go anywhere, didn't get any opportunities, and ended up taking out magical treasures...
"Pray to this statue and see what happens."
People have thoughts, so do ghosts, and they can also produce thoughts and incense.
An Lang looked at the statue and was a little surprised, "Master, why does the statue look so similar to you?"
Zhou Qing said: "Don't ask so many questions, start praying quickly! "
He refined the statue of the god, so it looks like him. However, because of the refinement, it is useless for Zhou Qing to worship the gods and pray by himself, as it will not produce the power of thought and incense.
Otherwise, he would pray by himself without An Lang coming.
If worshiping oneself can produce the power of thought and incense, wouldn’t it mean that if you step on your left foot and your right foot, you can go directly to heaven?
Thoughts and incense are perpetual motion machines, right?
“Oh.”
An Lang nodded and was about to pray, then asked:
"Then what should I say? Is there any prayer?"
"...Just say it casually, if not, just make a wish."
An Lang understood now and started to pray directly. , did not make a sound, I don’t know what I was muttering in my heart.
After An Lang finished praying, Zhou Qing saw a faint point of light flying out of An Lang and entering the statue.
Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. Is this the power of thought and incense collected by the statue?
An Lang looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Master, how are you?"
"Okay, good job."
Zhou Qing nodded, and with the power of incense, An Lang Lang didn't see it, he could only discover it from the perspective of "god".
This is why in some Taoist temples, incense and faith are flourishing, but no one can see the gathering of thought and incense.
Zhou Qing refined the idol, so he could do it naturally.
"Do you have any bad feelings?"
"No, it feels normal."
Zhou Qing nodded, "Go and play by yourself."
An Lang drifted away and was alone in the ghost house, but she was suffocated.
There is a special space inside the statue, which is a place to store thoughts and incense.
Zhou Qing felt the faint incense of thought inside and frowned slightly.
He felt something was wrong, something strange.
Isn’t it a little too simple for this statue to collect thought incense?
Whether it is a god or a monk, if you want to collect thought incense, the most important thing is the heart of the subject of the thought incense, that is, whether the person who worships and prays believes in them or not.
Like the Heavenly Mother Sect stronghold in Qinghua County, only Heavenly Lady believers can go to the Heavenly Goddess statue to pray, so that Su Heavenly Lady can collect thought incense.
It’s not just a random passerby who doesn’t know anything about the Goddess. He can give birth to thoughts and incense by praying at the statue.
The same is true for gods collecting thoughts and incense. They must have believers.
This is why Daqi directly prohibits gods from promoting their own existence and deeds.
The people don’t understand you, and you can’t perform miracles, so how can they believe in you, how can they generate thoughts and incense?
Namelessness is the biggest limitation for gods.
Not to mention that An Lang prayed so hastily.
An Lang's process just now, placed in front of normal believers, is simply...
Invisible.
Praying like a joke, can this also give birth to thoughts and incense?
It was also at this time that Zhou Qing realized this problem.
This is unreasonable!
Zhou Qing thought briefly and then thought: "Is it possible that because the statue looks like me, An Lang's faith in me has also taken effect on the statue?"
That's true. It's not impossible.
An Lang does not believe in God, but he is definitely different from you in An Lang.
However, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, so Zhou Qing decided to give it another try.
He walked out of the inn and found a beggar in Tianyue City. After changing his appearance, he asked the beggar to pray to the statue.
Then I actually collected some faint thoughts of incense.
Zhou Qing was silent, and then he found several people to try, and all of them gained ideas and incense.
The prayers of these people are diverse, but have only one thing in common, and that is that they are simple, hasty and perfunctory.
You want to say that they believe in gods?
Don't be ridiculous.
After the birth of Thought Incense, these people had no problems and everything was fine.
He made other attempts, such as only bowing without any prayers.
Even thought incense was collected.
Zhou Qing was confused, no, this is too overbearing, right?
If a dog passes in front of you, does it have to contribute some thought and incense before it can go?
After various attempts, Zhou Qing finally returned to his residence. He vaguely felt that this statue seemed a bit extraordinary...
Compared with other people, gods or methods that collect thought incense , it is too easy for the statue to collect thoughts and incense.
It was like a robbery.
Whether you know me or not, believe me or not, as long as you have any intention of worshiping God and praying in front of me, I am so embarrassed.
Get it you!
Zhou Qing was shocked. What kind of statue is this?
Simply a god among gods!
He thought wrong before. This thing is actually most suitable for the imperial court to use. Let the local officials call on the people within the territory to worship, and the incense will come directly from the thought.
Zhou Qing took a breath, put the statue away, and decided to keep it as his own secret and not let others know easily.
Otherwise he is afraid of being robbed.
However, if he were the emperor...
Stop, stop, I can't think about it anymore.
Today evening, Qin Ming sent someone to invite him over again.
“The capital of Qin is in charge.”
Qin Ming nodded and said: "The matter in Tianyue City has probably been sorted out."
The efficiency is very high, but Zhou Qing is not surprised. They are all practitioners, and their thoughts and ideas are naturally not ordinary. Comparable.
“You have made a great contribution this time. You have saved Tianyue City. You will be rewarded heavily by the superiors.”
“If you have any requests, you can also make them.”
Hearing this, Zhou Qing had an idea in his mind.
Then I become the emperor...
