Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 110: Immortal Village Chapter, Waning Moon Illuminates the Well, Origin Clear Source (Three in One)

There were many swords outside the shabby Sword Hut. Chen Qing picked one up and that sword turned into fine powder in his hand, dispersing with the wind.

Chen Qing pushed open the dusty door of the shabby Sword Hut. There were many ancient swords inside, they looked very different from the swords now.

At the center was a desk. Chen Qing came before the desk and looked at the contents. There was a piece of white paper with some content written on it:

[I have searched all the Sword Huts on this island. This should be my thirteenth time coming to this island.

Or rather, my thirteenth life.

As expected, after I broke through to Foundation Establishment, I lost my ability as a variant human again.

Do I have to build my foundation without Gu to retain my ability as a variant human?

Or am I a King Grade Sword Parasite that's still growing? '

Chen Qing looked at the scene in front of him and warned the other two: "Don't touch the things here. They will break if you touch them."

"I will go outside to do something."

Chen Qing walked out of the door and found a large wild beast to kill before burying it in the ground.

After a while, the mound on the ground rose up and a youth covered in blood climbed out. He was slightly puzzled and picked up the bear skin beside him. He was even more puzzled.

"Why are you looking for me?"

The young man who was covered in blood no longer stuttered when he spoke.

Chen Qing found that this youth was already at Qi Refinement Stage Three. He thought of something and waved at him: "Come with me."

Chen Qing walked into the Sword Hut. The youth followed Chen Qing with bloody footprints and looked at the black and white words on the desk.

The youth looked at the contents and fell into deep thought.

Nie Fei and Xuan Ping saw Chen Qing and the youth standing side by side and did not dare to disturb them.

After thirty breaths, the youth spoke: "I am not him."

"If you find another Sword Hut like this, come and call me."

The youth walked out of the door: "Thirty miles east, there is a stone wall. There is an ancient sword manual carved on it."

Nie Fei patted Chen Qing's shoulder: "Good fellow, so you went to call him. This trip was worth it. I only told him a piece of news and he got a sword manual."

Xuan Ping said, "Thirty miles to the east is not far. If we hurry over, we should be able to arrive before dawn."

"If that's the case, we'll be able to study the stone wall for an entire day!"

Hearing this, Chen Qing followed the two of them. After taking two steps, he turned back to look at the bloody footprints left by the young man.

If he is a mutant, then what about me? Am I also a mutant?

Were visitors from another world considered as mutants?

Or was it a type of Mutant?

If that was the case, would he lose his current abilities after using the light butterfly as his foundation?

Too many doubts spread in Chen Qing's heart.

Along the way, they passed through thirty miles without encountering any danger. After searching for a while, they parted a clump of wild grass that was taller than a person and saw a perfectly straight mountain wall in front of them. An ancient scripture was engraved on the mountain wall.

Every word seemed to have been carved out by a saber or an axe, as if there were sword marks.

Sea Return Sword Manual

With the Spiritual Grade Sword Insect as the root, thousands of Sword Qi were generated, and the attack was like a tidal wave.

Chen Qing looked carefully. The most basic condition for cultivating the Sea Return Sword Manual was actually a Spiritual Grade Sword Insect!

This starting condition was unparalleled.

As expected of an Immortal Island, such a scripture could not be learned even after reading it.

Chen Qing thought about how there were many Sword Insects on this Immortal Island and might have a chance to obtain a Spiritual Grade Sword Insect. He felt slightly better.

"Although the cultivation conditions are difficult to meet, if you succeed, you will definitely be extraordinary!"

Nie Fei said, "It's too mysterious. It can actually control Spiritual Grade Sword Insects, and not just one!"

"According to this sword manual, the more Spiritual Grade Sword Insects there are, the stronger the power. At most, there can be nine of them. It seems that the three of us can't cultivate at the same time."

Spiritual Grade Sword Insects were extremely precious treasures, not to mention a few of them.

Xuan Ping analyzed, "It's best if one person cultivates and gathers all the Spiritual Grade Sword Insects on one person."

"Only then can we unleash the greatest power of this sword manual!"

"I have the Mystic Bird Bow now, so I don't lack long-range attacks."

"Brother, you don't have any long-range attacks. It's better for you to cultivate."

Nie Fei said, "I cultivate fist techniques and am not very proficient in sword techniques. At my current age, if I cultivate too much, I will lose my original intention."

"A bird in the hand is better than a hundred in the forest."

"I'd better cultivate my fist techniques."

"Furthermore, the difficulty of cultivating this Sea Return Sword Manual is extremely high. It's destined to be difficult to master."

Chen Qing said, "Then protect me by the side for a period of time. Let me copy this sword manual."

He immediately took out a pen and paper from his body and began copying the sword manual. Chen Qing had been copying the sword manual for the entire day. Although he did not need it now, its grade was extremely high and it would be beneficial to memorize it.

By the time he finished copying the Sea Return Sword Manual, it was already noon. The three of them did not move and lay on a pile of grass that was taller than a person.

Chen Qing listened to the breeze and looked forward to seeing more of the Sword Hut.

Everything in this world had its own rules, and these rules were the Dao.

Gu worms evolved from the Dao and were a part of the rules.

It could also be said that all living beings in the world were a part of the Dao.

Chen Qing inexplicably felt that he had gained a deeper understanding of this world's origins.

After listening for four hours, the sun was about to set. Chen Qing finally heard the location of another Sword Hut in the wind.

As night fell, Chen Qing said, "Head north. There's a Sword Hut about twenty-five kilometers away."

Chen Qing led the way and used the Breath of Wind to avoid the dangerous beasts and sword ghosts. The three of them ran on treetops.

In order to avoid the dangers, they wasted a lot of time, but they still arrived at the Sword Hut in four hours.

This Sword Hut was located under a small waterfall. On both sides of the waterfall were dense forests. The Sword Hut was located between towering ancient trees.

Chen Qing strode forward and turned back. "Wait for me here. I'll hunt a wild beast and summon that youth."

Walking in the dense forest, Chen Qing hunted a leopard and buried it in the ground. After a short while, the young man emerged from the ground, still covered in blood.

When he got up and saw Chen Qing, the killing intent in his eyes was extinguished.

Chen Qing got up and said, "Over here."

Chen Qing was about to leave when the youth asked in confusion, "Why are you helping me? This doesn't make sense."

Chen Qing asked, "Do you have a way to know if I'm a variant human?"

The young man thought for a moment. "Maybe, but I can't be sure now. I'll tell you when I'm sure."

"The Sword Huts here might have been left behind by people with the same physique as me."

"They treated the previous Sword Huts as their previous selves."

"But I can be sure that I'm not them. It's just that we have the same physique."

"I have a strange feeling that I belong here. I'm a part of this place."

He looked at Chen Qing seriously. "Are you suspecting that you're also a variant human?"

Chen Qing nodded. "Yes, my body's situation is a little complicated. I'm not sure."

The young man relaxed. He understood why Chen Qing wanted to help him. It was because Chen Qing could also be a variant human.

A variant human like him.

Chen Qing walked in front. The two of them entered the Sword Hut. The young man pushed the door open with his bloodied hands. Chen Qing followed him in.

The Sword Hut was not big. It was just an ordinary single-room house. It could be seen that the person who lived here did not care about his living conditions. Instead, he was trapped in a strange obsession and wanted to find an answer.

This time, it was different from before, where the words were written on the table. Instead, the walls were filled with words written by sword marks.

[Who am I?]

[This world is lying to me!]

[No, I belong here. Why would it lie to me?]

[Since the sword worms were created by the spirit swords and the spirit swords were created by the imperial swords, where did the imperial swords come from?]

[Maybe I should search for the path of immemorial cultivators. That's the Dao I should search for!]

[The world has heavenly fire, so there is fire Gu. The world has great rivers, so there is river Gu. The world has mountains, so there is mountain Gu. But where did swords come from?]

[Where did the first swords come from?]

[The world can give birth to all living things, but it can't give birth to swords naturally. Swords are created by people!]

[Sword Dao was created after all living things. It is not a type of Great Dao. But why would sword worms be born?]

The words on the wall were filled with distrust towards the world and a search for the Sword Dao.

People in such a state of mind would not care too much about their own living conditions.

What Chen Qing cared about was the so-called path of immemorial cultivators. He wanted to know what kind of path it was.

After that, the youth left. They searched the Sword Hut and found two sleeping Sword Vermin.

Nie Fei chuckled and put it into his own pocket. "Same old rules, this kind of thing that doesn't take up much space is mine!"

"If you encounter anything that can't be taken away, it's all yours."

After a thorough search, the three of them set off again. Nie Fei's heart was filled with treasure hunting while Xuan Ping was thinking about the relationship between Foundation Establishment and Variant Humans.

Chen Qing, on the other hand, was interested in the path of ancient cultivators.

He didn't know if these people had managed to obtain the Primordial Cultivation Method after searching for so many lifetimes.

The secret on this island was even greater than what Chen Qing had imagined.

He had thought that it was some kind of treasure or scripture spirit gu that had appeared and everyone would fight over it. Who would have thought that it was actually related to the secrets of Dao?

These people who came to the Immortal Island had been comprehending the connection between the Great Dao and Heaven and Earth for generations.

He hoped that they could understand more so that he could know more.

On this day, they hid in three big trees to avoid the day. Then, the three of them set out again.

During the day, Chen Qing did not hear any traces of the Sword Hut, so the three of them could only rely on their own strength to search.

After walking for four hours, they found another Sword Vermin. Nie Fei kept it in his pocket. "I have to say that there are enough Sword Vermin in this place."

"I don't know when we will encounter another Spirit Sword Vermin."

Chen Qing said, "Spirit Sword Vermin are very active and easy to find."

Xuan Ping said, "Not necessarily. If it's sleeping, then there won't be any activity."

Chen Qing asked, "Is it easy to subdue a sleeping Spirit Sword Vermin?"

Xuan Ping said, "Looking at the situation, some Gu worms have divine might when they wake up!"

"Moreover, this is the Immortal Island. The Spirit Sword Vermin might not be in the form of Gu worms. It might be in the form of a Sword Butterfly!"

The power of a wild Spirit Sword Butterfly was indeed unparalleled!

After taking two steps, Chen Qing heard a crisp sound. He looked to the side and saw that a withered old tree had sprouted a new bud.

He walked over, and the light butterfly in his body flew out and circled the new bud a few times before returning to his body.

Chen Qing sensed the changes within, and he felt that his understanding of life had increased by a notch.

They continued on their way and saw a tall mountain in the distance. There was a winding path leading to the top of the mountain.

"Follow this path. Maybe we will find something." Chen Qing pointed at the path.

After walking for a few dozen steps, they saw a black goshawk sleeping on a big tree in front of them. It was as tall as three people.

The goshawk's feathers were like cold iron, and each of them was extremely sharp. Its claws were like scimitars.

The three of them immediately lightened their footsteps and carefully went around it. They followed the path that was almost buried by weeds and climbed to the top of the mountain. They saw a cave.

After looking around and confirming that there was no danger, they boldly entered the cave.

Just as they entered the cave, Chen Qing saw a sentence carved on the stone wall of the cave.

[Immortals do not die, thieves will not stop!]

Nie Fei also looked at this sentence in confusion. "Could it be that this person once joined our Extreme Light Sect?"

In the blink of an eye, the cave was filled with bookshelves, high pavilions, and desks. The ground was full of all kinds of crumpled up waste manuscripts.

He picked up a pile and it turned into sand in his hand.

Chen Qing came to the desk and opened the drawer. He found an ancient book without a title. He dared not pick it up, for fear that it would break into pieces.

Chen Qing told the other two to stay put and walked out of the cave. He hunted a black bear and buried it in the ground.

As soon as the young man crawled out of the black bear's body, he said, "Li Chonghuan and Li Xuetang seem to have gone to the place where you can tell if it's a mutant or not, but they are still looking for the entrance."

"I still don't know how to get in. I will call you when they enter."

Chen Qing nodded and led the young man into the cave. He pointed to the nameless ancient book and said, "This ancient book is the best hidden one. The other books on the shelf have all been weathered. Only this one is left."

"I can't pick it up. It will break if I pick it up. Do you have a way to see the contents?"

The young man stepped forward and a strange wave spread out from his hand. He put his hand on the top of the book and closed his eyes to feel it carefully.

After a quarter of an hour, he said, "Heaven's Evolution is fifty, Great Evolution is forty-nine, and one of them is missing."

"One is a difference, a difference between heaven and earth. It is also one, so one gives birth to two, and two gives birth to three."

"Out of fifty, one is missing, and one of them is missing."

"So I am the missing part of heaven and earth?"

"Missing gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and all things are born?"

The young man opened his eyes, saying: "What I read just now was the conclusion of this book."

"This person is obsessed with the Great Dao."

"But his judgment has some merit, variant humans might really be the flaw of heaven and earth."

"Because the ability of variant humans does not conform to the rules of heaven and earth."

Chen Qing said: "My understanding is that there are fifty heavenly evolutions, of which forty-nine is an unchanging number. If there is a change, then they are variant humans."

"Or rather, not just variant humans, there might be some other variant species."

The young man said: "Maybe, the immemorial cultivator path will allow us to understand more. I have been exploring the entire island and have already obtained some information about the immemorial cultivator path."

"Those who came before discovered many secrets because they were searching for their own secrets."

"One thing I can be sure of is, if one uses the Gu worms in this world to establish their foundation, they will eliminate the one, which is the variant. They will assimilate with heaven and earth and become a part of its rules."

"And the cultivation of immemorial cultivators did not seem to need Gu worms as their foundation to establish their foundation."

"The foundation establishment of that time was called entering the path."

Chen Qing asked: "Entering the path?"

The young man nodded, continuing: "That's right, entering the path. Gu worms are the evolution of the Great Dao, using Gu worms as one's vital foundation is a way to enter the path."

He looked at Chen Qing with shining eyes: "Have you ever thought that we are a brand new type of Gu worm, a type of Gu worm that has never appeared before?"

"Or rather, a brand new type of Gu worm is being nurtured in our bodies, but it has not been completely nurtured yet."

"Once we use other Gu worms as our vital Gu to enter the path, it is equivalent to giving up our own path."

"Thus, after establishing our foundation, we will lose our original abilities."

Chen Qing felt that this was a possibility. After all, his arrival had opened a door to the void.

But why could the void see the information of all Gu worms, this did not make sense!

"My situation is rather complicated, it is not easy to explain."

The young man did not mind: "Variant humans are all like this, if their origins are too ordinary, how can they become a variant human?"

"Once I find a way to enter the place where we can distinguish between variant humans and non-variant humans, I will come and find you."

After he finished speaking, the young man left. Chen Qing, Nie Fei, and Xuan Ping searched the area before leaving.

Nie Fei and Xuan Ping were from the Extreme Light Sect, and the Extreme Light Sect could be said to be the sect that didn't reject eccentrics the most.

As for Chen Qing He's identity as a Mutant, he wasn't too surprised.

Instead, he felt that it was extremely normal.

Nie Fei said, "There are two types of variant humans. The first type is born with a Gu worm that automatically contracts with them. Without knowing it, they would have some special abilities, so they are considered variant humans."

"There is another situation similar to this young man. Gu worms cannot be found on these variant humans."

"Taiyi, by the way, what kind are you?"

Chen Qing shook his head. "I can't even tell what kind I am now. I don't even know if I'm a Mutant."

Nie Fei asked, "Then what is your special ability?"

Chen Qing said, "I had some rather strange dreams."

He did not want to tell Nie Fei that he could see the information of all Gu worms.

This secret was a little too shocking.

Nie Fei felt that he and Chen Qing were brothers who had gone through life and death together, Chen Qing would definitely not lie to him. "Then this ability of yours is a little lame."

"I also have some strange dreams sometimes, is there a possibility that I am also a variant human?"

Chen Qing asked, "What strange dream?"

Nie Fei snickered, "Three Li Xue Tang!"

Chen Qing: "."

Something is wrong with you!

After another three days, Chen Qing and the others found a new Sword Hut. As soon as they entered this place, Chen Qing killed a wild beast and summoned the youth. They entered the Sword Hut together and searched for the traces left behind by those people who had pursued the Dao.

They did not gain much this time, most of it was information they already knew.

The only difference was, this person seemed to be even crazier.

After exploring this Sword Hut, the young man said, "Li Chonghuan is about to find that mysterious entrance, follow me!"

Chen Qing quickly followed, Nie Fei and Xuan Ping also chased after them.

After following the young man for over sixty li, they saw a dilapidated palace ahead. Li Xue Tang was knocking around, seemingly trying to find a secret passage.

Seeing Chen Qing and the rest come here, she was slightly wary and went to the backyard of the palace.

Chen Qing and the rest hurried to catch up, only to see Li Chonghuan standing in front of a dry well, deep in thought.

The eight trigrams formation disk in his hand kept hovering, unable to stop for a moment, turning left and right at times, extremely chaotic.

Looking up, he saw Chen Qing and the young man covered in blood, smiling, "You guys are here too."

Nie Fei strode forward, coming to the side of the well to look. "Why is it a dry well?"

Li Chonghuan said, "This is just the entrance, not the real well. The well should be hidden in this dry well."

Xuan Ping frowned and asked, "Lan Ruo Tuo Realm?"

Li Chonghuan nodded. "That's right, there is a Lan Ruo Tuo Realm hidden here, the laws inside are completely different from the outside world. After all, Lan Ruo Tuo Realm evolved from Dao, there will be strange Dao and laws inside."

The young man strode forward. "This is not my main body, I will go in first to explore and see if there is any danger."

Li Chonghuan smiled and dodged to the side. "That would be for the best."

The young man did not hesitate and jumped in. After half an hour, everyone saw on the roof of the palace in the distance, the young man covered in blood came here again. "There is no danger, just some changes."

"The law of this Lan Ruo Tuo Realm seems to be to show one's true form."

Li Chonghuan asked, "What will happen if an otherworlder enters?"

The young man sat on the roof. "An otherworlder belongs to the escaped one, not the number four nine, so there is no true form, unable to show one's true form."

"It will be as it is when it goes in."

Li Chonghuan pondered for a moment, then reached out and jumped in.

Chen Qing and the rest chased after, but they could not see Li Chonghuan's figure, as if Li Chonghuan had not jumped in at all. Nie Fei said, "Whether or not he is an otherworlder depends on this moment. Come, let's go in and take a look!"

After saying that, he jumped in directly, and then Chen Qing heard Nie Fei's voice coming from the well. "Damn, Li Chonghuan, you are an otherworlder!"

Li Xuetang's expression changed slightly. She was obviously shocked.

She did not hesitate and jumped into the well, wanting to see if it was really as Nie Fei said, to see if Li Chonghuan was an otherworlder with her own eyes.

Xuan Ping looked up. "Are we going in?"

Chen Qing sat at the mouth of the well and began to think.

"You go in first, I will think about it."

If he did not belong to this world, then what would be shown?

He was also a little afraid that his secret would be exposed. If something strange was shown, it would not be good.
