After Second Uncle explained, Zhou Qing understood.
Then, the two of them slowly returned along the winding passage.
When they stood at the end of the tunnel where the hole was again, Second Uncleâs hands moved rapidly, forming seals, while Zhou Qing widened his eyes, staring unblinkingly, afraid to miss any detail.
But Second Uncle, sensing his thoughts, suddenly stopped, looked at Zhou Qing, half-smiling.
"What, you want to learn, huh?"
Zhou Qing instantly felt guilty, quickly waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, just purely curious."
"Look at you, if you want to learn secretly, at least be open about it. Since you helped me a great deal this time, I can give you this chance, but Iâll only demonstrate it once. Whether you can remember it or not will depend on your perception!"
After speaking, Second Uncle started forming seals again.
Zhou Qing didnât dare to slack off, immediately focused all his attention.
But soon he was swearing internally.
This wasnât giving him a chance at all; it was clearly to make him give up due to difficulty.
The speed of forming seals was much faster than before, afraid he might catch even a bit.
In an instant, brilliance shone in front of them, and Second Uncle laughed heartily, grabbing Zhou Qing and stepping straight into the light.
When the two appeared on the Five-Colored Altar, Second Uncle looked at the dejected face of Zhou Qing, patted his shoulder with a laugh.
"Thereâs nothing much to learn from this, in youthful exuberance, I was afraid youâd sneak in and mess around when Iâm not here." Second Uncle said.
Zhou Qing was speechless, couldnât help but retort: "This dangerous place, why would I sneak in, wasnât that seeking death!"
Hearing this, Second Uncle laughed even more happily.
At this moment, Zhou Qing quietly slipped an Imaging Stone into his pocket.
Second Uncle said: "I might not come back for a long time now, I have to use this Golden Crow Fan for something important. Then Iâll blend into a large sect and learn the arts of restriction well, little guy, look forward to our next meeting."
Zhou Qing was stunned.
Wondering which sect would be unlucky next.
"Then wonât you try the other coffins?" Zhou Qing asked quickly.
Second Uncle waved his hand indifferently: "No rush, after all, those things are just there, they wonât run away on their own."
Hearing this, Zhou Qingâs face was filled with suspicion, couldnât help but ask: "Senior, didnât you already check the other coffins, but because of the restrictions, you couldnât do anything, so you had no choice but to choose the third coffin..."
Second Uncleâs face turned red rarely, hurriedly retorted: "Donât talk nonsense, am I that kind of person? I just want to learn a few more skills to keep myself safe, now get going!"
After speaking, Second Uncle walked straight ahead.
Zhou Qingâs smile gradually faded, then turned to look, full of worries.
If it is indeed so, then itâs troubling.
By the time the two climbed out from the entrance near the latrine, it was getting late, Lu Yaoyaoâs courtyard had already been lit up with candlelight.
Then Second Uncle took Zhou Qing, their figures blurred, and they were back to Little Spirit Peak in a flash.
"Next time we meet, if you can recognize me, I promise you a great opportunity!" Second Uncle looked at Zhou Qing seriously.
Hearing this, Zhou Qing hurriedly asked: "Senior, is it a divine technique that allows you to transform your appearance at will?"
"This technique, donât even think about it, I only pass it to my direct disciples..."
"Master here, please accept your discipleâs bow!" Zhou Qing didnât hesitate, thumped onto the ground kneeling.
"Get lost!" Before Zhou Qing could bow down, Second Uncle turned around and disappeared into the vast night.
Lifting his head, he saw his mentor Mo Xingjian standing not far away with a grim face.
Zhou Qing was stunned.
Then silently dug a hole on the ground, buried his face in it.
...
Inside the room, Zhou Qing diligently poured hot tea for Mo Xingjian, then flatteredly massaged his shoulders and back.
"Master, disciple purely wanted to get something good from him, I never had any intention of betraying the sect, I swear!" Zhou Qing said hurriedly.
Mo Xingjian, seeing his body full of blisters, and sensing the intense scorching breath, asked lovingly: "Does it hurt?"
Zhou Qing was stunned, then nodded his head.
But he quickly said: "Itâs just a bit of fire poison, now the fire flower of the Four Flowers is absorbing it, it shouldnât be long till itâs fine."
In fact, Zhou Qing wasnât lying.
Initially, he planned to use the top-grade water-attributed Spirit Stone that Second Uncle gave to absorb, but was surprised to find that the four-colored petals in his Nascent Soulâs hand were absorbing it bit by bit, bringing him great joy.
Hearing this, Mo Xingjian was relieved.
Then said: "Now youâve got the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, this Heavenly Dao Qi was also given by him. As your mentor, I thought he would come back once, but unfortunately, I only saw his back just now, this guy probably doesnât have the face to see us."
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Mo Xingjian sighed helplessly.
Zhou Qing then organized his thoughts and summarized the situation.
Regarding the Earth Dao and the Golden Crow Essence Blood, he chose to keep it hidden.
Listening to this, Mo Xingjian was shocked.
He really didnât know that the third coffin contained a small world inside, and even felt somewhat excited.
