A Name Is Hard to Choose!

A name?

Zhou Qingqing was slightly taken aback, then remembered this matter.

Most innate living beings had their own innate divine names.

Names like Laozi, Primordial Beginning, Tongtian, Di Jun, and Taiyi were divine names that emerged naturally after the Primordial World came into being and the Heavenly Dao manifested.

Zhou Qingqing's true form was the twenty-fourth-grade Creation Azure Lotus, an innate supreme treasure. By all reason, she indeed could possess a divine name.

I'd like to say my name is Zhou Qingqing, but it doesn't sound Primordial World enough.

Should I ask my masters to give me a new one?

But I still want my own name.

How about Azure Lotus? No, I don't like that either...

This is so frustrating...

Names or Daoist titles were not things one could casually choose in the Primordial World. They represented one's origins, fortune, and merit.

They were an extremely important matter.

Seeing Zhou Qingqing still agonizing over it.

Supreme Pure Laozi lightly calculated on his fingers.

"Since you have entered the Three Pure Ones' sect and become our First Disciple, let the three of us, your masters, give you a name."

Supreme Pure Laozi did not wish to watch Zhou Qingqing struggle over a name for half the day, so he spoke at once.

"You were born on Mount Buzhou, so you may take Buzhou as your surname. Buzhou means incomplete, so remove the 'bu' and use Zhou instead."

That worked too?

Hearing Supreme Pure Laozi forcibly turn the little girl's divine-name surname into Zhou.

Primordial Beginning and Tongtian immediately understood their eldest brother's intention.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Jade Pure Yuanshi spoke with a solemn expression.

"Your true form is the Creation Azure Lotus. You could use 'Azure' or 'Lotus.' I shall make the decision and take the central character, 'Qing,' implying everlasting verdance."

"Zhou Qing is indeed not bad, but it does not distinguish gender. From your voice, you should take female form in the future."

"I shall make the decision and turn Second Brother's 'Qing' into a reduplicated name, Qingqing."

Upper Pure Tongtian's lips curved into a smile.

"From this day forth, you shall be called Zhou Qingqing."

Wow, it seems I really am fated with the Three Pure Ones. The name they casually came up with is actually the same as my original name, and it even carries such meaning.

Looking at it this way, my worries were completely unnecessary. Zhou Qingqing is a name brimming with the aura of the Primordial World.

Hearing Zhou Qingqing's inner thoughts, the Three Pure Ones all let out a sigh of relief.

These days.

Being a master was truly not easy.

Even coming up with a name required this much fabrication.

Fortunately, the result was good.

Zhou Qingqing had no suspicions at all. She even believed it truly was fate.

"Thank you, my three masters, for bestowing this name. From now on, I am Zhou Qingqing!"

Having finally resolved this matter, Supreme Pure Laozi was the first to speak.

"Now that we are your masters, we shall each impart our methods to you, allowing you to refine spiritual energy and successfully take form."

Oh, is it already time for the teachings?

This is wonderful!

Zhou Qingqing cheered inwardly.

With a thought from Supreme Pure Laozi, he was about to pass the most basic transformation method to Zhou Qingqing before him.

Master Supreme Pure is still only a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. He probably does not have any other profound methods. The only thing he can truly offer should be the method inherited from Pangu, containing the Great Dao of Pills.

I never expected to see this. What incredible luck.

"..."

Supreme Pure Laozi's expression stiffened slightly, and he could not help glancing at Zhou Qingqing.

Then Master Primordial Beginning will have to bring out the essentials of artifact refining, won't he?

Primordial Beginning's fingers, hidden within his sleeves, trembled slightly.

And Master Tongtian, no matter what, will have to bring out his treasured array formations as well, right?

Tongtian inexplicably gave a soft laugh.

The First Disciple of the Three Pure Ones, mastering her masters' pill refinement, artifact refinement, and array formations, then using them to temper her transformed body... Just thinking about it is exciting!

The Three Pure Ones exchanged glances, feeling as though they had been completely seen through.

The Zhou Qingqing before them seemed to have seen through all of them.

The Three Pure Ones possessed three Great Dao scriptures left behind by Pangu.

They had not even mentioned this matter to outsiders, yet Zhou Qingqing knew it inside and out.

In that case.

Even if they wished to bring out something simple to muddle through, they could no longer do so.

Besides, having Zhou Qingqing, whose origins were that of the innate supreme treasure Creation Azure Lotus, cultivate some basic methods truly would not be appropriate.

She was already the First Disciple of the Three Pure Ones.

Then it was only right that she receive these methods.

The Three Pure Ones exchanged looks and came to a decision.

"This is my pill-refining method, the Supreme Pure Golden Elixir Scripture. You may use it to temper a golden elixir within your body."

"This is my artifact-refining method, the Jade Pure Golden Casket Artifact Refining Record. You may use it to temper the body you will take upon transforming."

"This is my array-setting method, the Upper Pure Mysterious Array Diagram. You may use it to temper the meridians throughout your body."

Before Zhou Qingqing could speak.

The three methods turned into spiritual radiance and entered Zhou Qingqing's spiritual consciousness.

In an instant.

Countless passages of the Great Dao and images manifested before her eyes.

"Thank you, my three masters. Qingqing will certainly cultivate diligently and strive to take form as soon as possible."

You had better cultivate properly.

Seeing Zhou Qingqing immersed in a sea of delight, the Three Pure Ones also felt somewhat weary.

"Simply cultivate according to the methods we have imparted. We shall settle at the nearby Qilin Cliff. If you have any questions, you may ask us directly, and we will naturally guide you."

Being a disciple is this great? There are even benefits like this.

Being the First Disciple of the Three Pure Ones was absolutely worth it!

"Qingqing understands. I will certainly cultivate diligently."

Seeing that Zhou Qingqing had no further questions.

The Three Pure Ones naturally left.

They also wished to remain here and see whether Zhou Qingqing possessed any intelligence she had not yet revealed.

But.

As Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, they also knew that haste made waste.

Continuing to remain beside the Lotus Pond, even though all three were Zhou Qingqing's masters, would not be appropriate.

There was still plenty of time ahead.

There was no need to be so anxious.

They only needed to proceed gradually.

After what they had experienced, they also needed to return and stabilize their states of mind.

In any case, Zhou Qingqing would still need their guidance in cultivation, so there was no need for haste at all.

Once she saw that the Three Pure Ones had all left.

Zhou Qingqing finally turned her full attention to the methods passed down by the Three Pure Ones.

The Supreme Pure Golden Elixir Scripture, Jade Pure Golden Casket Artifact Refining Record, and Upper Pure Mysterious Array Diagram were undeniably the methods each of the Three Pure Ones excelled in.

In Zhou Qingqing's memories, not one of the Three Pure Ones' disciples had ever been able to master all three methods at once.

And now.

She, the First Disciple of the Three Pure Ones by sheer accident, had received all of these teachings at once.

Naturally, Zhou Qingqing would make proper use of these methods to lay a solid foundation for her transformation.

Without the slightest hesitation.

She fixed her gaze upon the opening formula of the Supreme Pure Golden Elixir Scripture.
