Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 1: Carefree Mountain's Cold Wave Cave

Carefree Mountain's Cold Wave Cave.

The long-haired young man sitting on the cushion let out a long breath, "I have finally reached qi refinement level three."

After transmigrating for a year, Chen Qing finally broke through from qi refinement level two to level three.

"Now that I have reached qi refinement level three, I can finally get a Gu worm from the sect."

Every cultivator in this world refines qi.

There are Gu in this world.

Qi circulates around the body, using Gu as a medium to use divine abilities.

Carefree Mountain's disciples who reach qi refinement level three can obtain a free Gu worm from the sect to assist in cultivation or battle.

Carrying a bundle of good quality spirit Gu grass, Chen Qing paid a visit to Elder Chen with ease.

Elder Chen chuckled as he led Chen Qing into the sect, "Little Chen, why did you bring a gift?"

Chen Qing said respectfully: "Disciple came to Carefree Mountain thanks to elder's guidance, this is a little bit of filial piety from this junior."

Elder Chen asked the boy to pour tea, "Seeing that your body is full of spirit qi, you should have reached qi refinement level three. The sect will give you a Gu worm to settle down in."

Chen Qing said: "That is correct, but disciple has just started cultivating, I do not know the differences between Gu worms, I hope elder can give me some pointers."

Elder Chen introduced: "For disciples like you who have just started cultivating, the first Gu worm is the most crucial."

"Generally speaking, there are two choices, one is to choose a Gu worm that focuses on battle techniques."

"But if you choose this type of Gu worm as your first Gu worm, your cultivation will mostly depend on hunting and searching for herbs, it is somewhat dangerous."

"Sometimes, you can make a fortune, sometimes, you will gain nothing."

Chen Qing asked: "What else?"

Elder Chen smiled: "The second choice is to produce Gu worms that can promote the growth of herbs or control spirit beasts."

"Although it is slow, it is still stable."

Chen Qing cupped his fists: "It is precisely because I do not understand these that I would like to ask elder Chen to bring me to choose my first Gu worm."

Elder Chen glanced at the spirit Gu grass, "Alright, since I have nothing to do, I will accompany you."

He followed Elder Chen up the mountain, greeting all the senior and junior brothers and sisters along the way. After entering the Gu altar, the altar guarding elder said: "Old Chen, you are here to accompany Chen Qing in choosing Gu?"

Elder Chen pulled the altar guardian elder to the side and whispered to him for a while before the altar guardian elder came over and brought Chen Qing into the Gu altar.

This Gu altar was the place the sect used to store Gu worms. It was like an inverted bowl, inside were some caves, and inside the caves were jade jars.

In that jade jar, there were Gu worms.

Chen Qing was preparing to follow the altar guarding elder to choose a Gu worm when he suddenly saw something special.

Some strange information was floating on top of those jade jars.

Was this a late cheat?

Although he came a little late, at least he had a cheat.

Were these Gu worms so complicated?

Even though they were all sword worms, the method of nurturing them was different?

How peculiar.

Looking at the Gu worms one by one, Chen Qing did not find any that exceeded Rank five.

At this time, the altar elder said softly to Chen Qing: "Follow me, there are a few good quality Gu worms here."

Chen Qing nodded: "Thank you, elder."

The altar elder warned: "Don't say anything after we go out, understand?"

Chen Qing cupped his hands and took out ten low grade spirit stones from his sleeves and handed them to the altar elder.

The elder who was guarding the altar accepted it without batting an eyelid and brought Chen Qing to the three jars.

Looking at these three Gu worms, the altar elder introduced: "These three Gu worms are of good quality. Iron skin Gu has high defense and is most suitable for adventuring.

But its lifespan is too short, who knows how many years it has left. "

"That grass spirit Gu can increase the production of spirit gu grass quite well, its lifespan is estimated to be around ten years."

"This sword Gu is of the best quality, it is estimated to have twenty to thirty years of lifespan, its effect is also good."

"These three Gu worms have a chance of transforming into butterflies, as for which one you choose, it will be up to you."

Sword Vermin were good, but he had just arrived in this world not long ago. Fighting and killing was a little too much for him.

As for the iron skin Gu, although it was tempting, it was still inferior to the grass spirit Gu.

Although Mother Earth Potion and Spirit Snatching Flower were expensive, with this Grass Spirit Gu, he could go and manage the Gu Spirit Grass Spirit Field to earn money.

If he could earn one spirit stone per mu of land, that would mean he could earn five low-grade spirit stones a day.

After a year and a half, this little guy would be able to level up. He didn't know what benefits there would be after leveling up, but it shouldn't be bad.

"Elder, I want this grass spirit Gu."

The altar elder revealed a look of praise and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad. Although you are a bit slow, you win by being steady. You are a steady person."

"Unlike those who don't know the difference between life and death, going out to fight for no reason and losing their Gu worms and Qingqing's life for nothing."

Yes, the most important thing was to be safe. There was no danger.

Chen Qing had a very clear understanding of himself.
