Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 101: Tiger Roar Seal – Tiger Out of the Cage

Jiang Yuhu's dreams were sweet.

The only thing he wasn't happy about was that he had to practice with the lord tomorrow morning, so even if there was a banquet at night, he couldn't drink himself to his heart's content.

But when he thought about how the lord didn't mind the hardships and taught them every day, and even gave them two Butterfly Gu worms, he felt a trace of anger towards himself.

How could a small matter like drinking be compared to the lord's?

Chen Qing was like a brother to them, patiently teaching them like a master, caring for them like an elder brother.

When he thought of this, his dreams were no longer sweet, and he said in his dreams, "Cruel and unscrupulous!"

The next morning, Jiang Yuhu woke up early and went to the depths of Iron Flow Valley. He walked through the valley that had been flattened by their sword practice.

The stone walls on both sides of the valley were filled with charred sword marks left behind by their sword practice.

He rode his horse and slowly walked a hundred feet. He suddenly realized that in these three months of sword practice, they had actually used their sword practice to widen the valley by thirty feet. This area was barely enough for them to practice their sword practice.

After waiting for less than fifteen minutes, he saw Chen Qing riding his horse over. He nodded at him, "You're early."

After a while, all the brothers arrived. Chen Qing said, "Who will go first today?"

Jiang Yuhu immediately took a step forward, "Lord, I'll go first!"

A five foot long sword appeared in Chen Qing's hand. After three months of practice, their Gu worms had all transformed into butterflies. Right now, their sword force was about the same as when he first came to Black Bird Tribe.

At that time, Chen Qing's Thunder Gu had yet to transform, so its power was about the same as the three Butterfly Gu worms they had.

When Chen Qing saw Jiang Yuhu unsheathing the huge sword on his back, he immediately used seventy percent of his strength and summoned lightning with his sword. Jiang Yuhu also met it with his sword!

The two swords collided, and a thunderous sound resounded in the surroundings!

The people in the valley who were still sleeping slowly woke up. Liu Guang kicked the sleeping youth, "Get up, the lord and the others have already started their sword practice!"

The youth rolled and got up. He wasn't angry. He knew that Liu Guang only looked fierce, but he was actually a good person.

"Yes, elder, I'll go practice now."

As the sun rose, a loud noise came from the valley. Smoke rose from the house, and the aroma of cooked food spread everywhere. Meow Meow, who was squatting on the roof, couldn't help but lick its lips.

"Miaomiao, where are we going to eat today?"

"This restaurant seems to have stewed salted fish. It smells so good!"

She jumped down from the roof and strolled into the house. The woman who was cooking knew that this was Chen Qing's cat. She had cleaned up all the rats in her house and saved a child from a rat monster. She smiled and waved at her. "Meow Meow, come here. I made dried fish!"

"Meow!"

After four loud bangs, Jiang Yuhu weakly put down the giant sword in his hand and lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

Seeing this, Chen Qing smiled faintly. "Not bad. You can actually take four of my strikes today."

Leaving Jiang Yuhu lying on the ground to recover, Chen Qing called out, "Jiang Shanhu, come!"

After a few loud bangs, Chen Qing sat on a rock nearby and watched the eight people split into four groups to train.

"Jiang Shan Hu, use your strength fiercely, use your Strength Gu!"

"Jiang Dahu, you have to be quick with your sword, you have to display your might!"

"Jiang Yuhu, this strike is too high. Lower your arm and lower your leg slightly."

Seventh month.

Black Bird tribe's tribe assembly.

The scouts that Chen Qing had scattered around had all returned. Other than some who had to continue guarding Iron Flow Valley, the rest were rushing through the night.

"We need to return to the valley before sunrise. We cannot let lord's might fall because of the small number of people!"

"If we spoil lord's plans, we won't be able to raise our heads when we return to the valley!"

More and more mutated blood horses gathered at the entrance of the valley. They looked at the eight youngsters carrying giant swords with envy.

They really did not know what kind of luck these bastards had to be bestowed with a skill by lord!

Looking at their arrogant appearances, they were truly valiant and formidable!

Chen Qing sat on a tiger skin throne on the fourth floor and gave out instructions. "Jiang Yu, you are steady in your work. I will leave behind ten people to guard the surroundings of the valley."

"If there's an enemy attack, quickly send someone to report!"

Jiang Yu immediately stood up from his seat and bowed with cupped fists: "Yes, lord!"

Chen Qing continued: "Liu Guang, for this trip, you will be in charge of the supplies. You don't need to bring too much. If there is not enough, we can go to Han Shan city to buy some."

"Moreover, we should have some stored in our shops in Hanshan City."

Liu Guang immediately stood up: "Yes, lord, I will not let any of the warriors and warhorses starve!"

Chen Qing then looked at Jiang Miaoxian, "Miaoxian, follow me."

Jiang Miaoxian showed a happy expression, "Yes, lord."

After arranging the matters in the valley, Chen Qing finally stood up, "Alright, let's go. We should meet up with Xuan Ping. Don't let her wait too long!"

Foundation establishment, he was not afraid of him now!

Chen Qing came to the valley. There were already people leading his horse. He mounted the horse and led everyone through the valley.

At the entrance of the valley, Chen Qing shouted: "Jiang Yu Hu, is everyone here?"

Jiang Yu Hu urged his horse forward, "Lord, there are eight of us. The other fifty-four are all here!"

Chen Qing swept a glance and found that these fellows had even polished their weapons and changed into new clothes. All of them were riding on tall mutated blood horses. Their expressions were excited and their eyes were filled with anticipation.

His appearance was full of vigor and vitality, and he could be considered mighty and majestic!

"Let's go to the tribal meeting!"

Chen Qing urged his horse through the crowd. After he rushed out of the valley, Jiang Miaoxian and Liu Guang were the first to follow. Then it was Jiang Yu Hu and the other eight people. Finally, it was the fifty-four warriors.

The fast horse galloped, stirring up a cloud of dust.

After running for thirty miles, Chen Qing saw Xuan Ping who had been waiting for him on her horse for a long time at the intersection of the two roads.

Her tribe was much larger than Chen Qing's. There were more than two hundred people.

Chen Qing first urged his horse over and lightly punched Yuan Tianfang's chest to greet him. "Brother Yuan's troops are really mighty!"

Yuan Tianfang looked at the eight people behind Chen Qing and smiled, "They can't compare to your Iron Flow Valley's eight tigers!"

The two looked at each other and laughed. Then, they urged their horses to come near Xuan Ping, "What's the process of this tribal meeting?"

For some reason, Xuan Ping was unhappy, "First, it will be the blood sacrifice. Then, it will be the hunting of evil demons nearby. Finally, there might be a martial arts competition."

"If it was before, there might not be such a competition.

But now, you have just joined the Black Bird Tribe. Everyone wants to see what you are capable of. I guess you won't be able to avoid this competition. "

Chen Qing said, "What about the three families?"

Xuan Ping spurred her horse forward, "Let's talk as we walk!"

Chen Qing spurred his horse forward and the two of them ran at the front of the group. Xuan Ping said, "The Dark Wing Tribe is very dissatisfied with you and you even detained their people?"

Chen Qing said indifferently, "They dare to cause trouble in my shop, don't they have to pay a price?"

Xuan Ping said, "I've been going to your place every few days and barely managed to suppress them. However, you won't be able to avoid this tribal meeting!"

Chen Qing said, "I've already cultivated the Golden Skin Jade Bone technique, I'm not afraid of them!"

"It shouldn't be to the point of a battle to the death, right?"

Xuan Ping said, "Not to that extent. However, you've just joined my Black Bird Tribe and already have the authority to build foundation. They're naturally displeased."

"Once you show off your skills, it should be settled."

Chen Qing squeezed his horse's belly, "Why do you look so unhappy today? Is your old injury acting up?"

Xuan Ping turned her head, "You call my uncle brother, should I call you uncle?"

Chen Qing chuckled, "No need, no need, we'll talk on our own!"

"Little brother, I'll follow the lead of witch Xuan Ping. Wherever witch Xuan Ping points, I, Qing Xu, will fight!"

After three months of peace, Chen Qing was once again in the mood to joke.

Xuan Ping laughed disdainfully, "Heh, there's no truth in your mouth."

Leading more than three hundred people, they galloped for thirty miles. There was a tall mountain in front of them. However, the top of the mountain was extremely flat. On the top of the mountain, there was a platform with a radius of several hundred feet. In the center, there was a large stronghold.

This mountain extended in all directions. There were seven mountain paths that were wide enough for horses to gallop on.

Chen Qing looked around and saw dust rising everywhere. A large number of tribes were leading their armies to gather at the top of the mountain.

It was like a black flood of steel was rushing past. Seeing such a formation, Chen Qing thought to himself, No wonder there weren't any great demons around Black Bird Tribe. With such a formation, it would be strange if there were any great demons or evil cultivators.

Any two groups of people would be able to easily annihilate a small faction like Carefree Mountain.

Wherever the iron hooves passed, not even a blade of grass grew.

Following the mountain path in front of them, Chen Qing and Xuan Ping led everyone up the mountain. Xuan Ping waved her whip and pointed at the vast plains in the east. "We will set up camp here. Qing Xu, your people will set up camp beside me."

Chen Qing asked Liu Guang to make the arrangements, then led Jiang Miaoxian and the Eight Tigers towards the stronghold in the center.

In front of the stronghold, there was an ironwood table. On both sides, there were five ironwood tables.

Chen Qing asked Jiang Miaoxian and the Eight Tigers to dismount and settle the horses. Then, he walked into the venue with Xuan Ping.

Xuan Ping sat down at the first table on the right and let Chen Qing sit at the table beside her. Chen Qing didn't stand on ceremony and sat there.

Of the three tables across from them, only the table closest to the front was empty. The other tables were all occupied.

After the leaders of the nine tribes were seated, the old shaman slowly walked out of the stronghold and sat down at the first table on the left of the central table.

Chen Qing observed the people in front of him. Xuan Ping introduced them to him. "That's the leader of the Rain Clan. He's in the Foundation Establishment Realm. His name is Yu Shengzi."

Chen Qing looked over. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. His face was feminine and he looked a little sinister.

"The third one over there is the leader of the Black Feather Clan. He's in the Foundation Establishment Realm. His name is Hei Yu."

This person was wearing a long robe woven from black crow feathers. He was extremely tall and his nose bridge was high like an eagle's hook. His eyes were full of spirit. At this moment, he was also sizing up Chen Qing.

"That young man is the young clan leader of the Stone Heart Clan. The old clan leader of his clan is also in the Foundation Establishment Realm. His cultivation is unfathomable."

The young clan leader of the Stone Heart Clan looked extremely young. When he saw Chen Qing's gaze, he smiled warmly at him. His face was honest and he was slightly valiant. However, he didn't lose his righteous aura.

In Chen Qing's opinion, he was an extremely shrewd person.

He was the kind of person who could talk and laugh with you in front of you but could stab you in the back dozens of times.

Just as the introduction reached here, everyone heard a loud sound of flying through the air. Chen Qing looked in the direction of the sound. Xuan Mang was sitting on a green bird with a wingspan of eight feet. He was flying through the clouds towards them.

This bird was bronze in color. The feathers all over its body didn't look like feathers. Instead, they looked like bronze. When it flew, it looked like a bronze bird statue had come to life.

There was a feather that was ten feet long on its head. It looked like it was wearing a crown.

Every feather had ancient patterns on it. They were complicated and magnificent. It gave people a strange sense of beauty. It was as if they saw an ancient painting or a legendary divine bird flying out.

The Black Bird flew and descended to give birth to witches.

The Black Bird landed in the center of the venue. Xuan Mang landed on the ground and smiled at everyone. Then, he walked towards the big seat in the center.

The Black Bird came in front of Xuan Ping and bowed in front of her. When Xuan Ping picked up a red spirit peach and put it in its mouth, it obediently came to Xuan Mang's side and lay down. It didn't move at all. It was like a bronze bird statue.

This was the foundation of the Black Bird Clan. It was the true guardian of the Cold Mountain City.

Black Bird.

Chen Qing didn't know the strength of this Black Bird. However, looking at its mystical appearance, he guessed that it was impossible for him to defeat it before he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Recently, his strength had increased greatly. Chen Qing had to think about whether he could defeat it or not.

His hands were itchy.

However, Chen Qing remained cautious. No matter how itchy his hands were, he could endure it.

Xuan Mang sat down. Xuan Ping took the lead and cupped her hands. "Greetings, City Lord!"

The process of the sacrifice was a little boring.

Chen Qing saw that the person in charge of the sacrifice was Xuan Ping, so he didn't doze off. However, Yu Shengzi was so tired that he almost fell asleep.

However, it had nothing to do with him!

It was probably to report to the King City, sacrifice to Miao Shen, sacrifice to King Wu, and pray for good weather.

The biggest difference from the sacrifice of the mortal world was that this sacrifice was a real spirit!

King Wu was also known as Wu De Zhenjun. In Jiuli, he was the symbol of strength and courage.

The current King Wu had been on the throne for eight hundred years. He was considered the oldest among the nine kings.

Emperor Dong Hua of Great Liao was different. Every generation of Emperor Dong Hua had an extremely short lifespan. Apart from Emperor Dong Hua, who had lived for 300 years, most of them only had a short lifespan of a little more than 100 years. The longest one had lived was 154 years.

The shortest one was on the throne for thirty years.

It was ridiculous!

According to Fu Luo, she had never seen her father before. She heard that his health wasn't very good.

Chen Qing guessed that this might have something to do with the Gu worm on Emperor Dong Hua. It might be some Gu worm that consumed one's lifespan.

Chen Qing wasn't very concerned about this. What he was more concerned about was whether he could find any treasure medicine to help him break through to Qi Refinement Realm Level Nine.

If it didn't work, he could only think of a way to buy it.

After the sacrifice, Xuan Ping, who was wearing a long black dress, started to listen to Xuan Mang. "Last year, there were thirty-two traces of demons. Seven of the more urgent ones have been destroyed. The remaining twenty-five are not very urgent, so they have been left until now."

Xuan Mang said to the old priest, "Old priest, please release the traces of these demons. Let the subordinates investigate clearly and kill the demons!"
