Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 12 - At this moment …

Hu Yao was stunned. Directly using spirit stones to make the deal?

Wouldn't that be too insulting to the senior?

But other than spirit stones, what else could they offer?

Murong Lang was overjoyed. It was great to be able to continue receiving guidance.

However, he had another question. "Senior, how many spirit stones do you think are suitable?"

Hu Yao also looked at Chen Qing. She was obviously very concerned about this issue.

Chen Qing crossed his arms and smiled. "Up to you. You can discuss among yourselves."

Murong Lang suddenly realized that the senior did not care about their spirit stones at all!

Senior Absolute Beginning was simply making things convenient for them!

Hu Yao was also very excited. Up to you? What did that mean?

It meant that Senior Absolute Beginning did not care about how many spirit stones they could offer!

Just as she felt that her future cultivation would be smooth sailing, she suddenly remembered something.

Senior Absolute Beginning might not care about how many spirit stones they offered, but he might only care about their sincerity.

She cast her gaze towards Murong Lang. Obviously, she wanted to know what price Murong Lang would propose.

Murong Lang had no intention of speaking. At this moment, his mind was going through an intense process.

How much was suitable?

Senior Absolute Beginning did not care about the amount at all. What he cared about was their sincerity.

In the end, he fell silent, waiting for Hu Yao to propose a price.

If Hu Yao's price angered the senior, he would quickly remedy it.

Hu Yao felt that she was about to break out in sweat. She asked tentatively, "Is one-eighth okay?"

Murong Lang quickly looked at Chen Qing. If Chen Qing showed any signs of dissatisfaction, he would immediately speak up to save them.

Seeing that Chen Qing did not respond, Hu Yao hurriedly added, "It's the spirit stones required to upgrade a Gu worm by one stage. We will offer you one-eighth!"

Chen Qing understood Hu Yao's meaning. Generally speaking, the cultivation world had cultivated Gu worms for so long that there was a rough estimate of the spirit stones required to upgrade a Gu worm by one stage.

For example, Hu Yao's Strength Gu generally required about ten thousand low-grade spirit stones to upgrade. It could be more or less than ten thousand.

According to Hu Yao, she would offer Chen Qing one thousand two hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones, and Chen Qing would give her pointers.

This price was acceptable to Chen Qing.

However, he still had to let them grow so that they could earn more spirit stones.

He could not show that he needed spirit stones.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing said indifferently, "One-tenth."

The fan in Murong Lang's hand fell to the ground. Although the difference between ten and eight was not big, for them, it was the difference of eight times and ten times compared to ordinary people!

Think about it, an ordinary person would need to spend ten thousand Spirit Stones to upgrade their Gu worms, but they only needed to pay a tenth of the price!

In other words, it only required one thousand spirit stones!

What kind of concept was that?

Senior Absolute Beginning really doesn't care about spirit stones at all. This is just an excuse for him to help us.

At this time, Murong Lang was afraid that Hu Yao would be insensible and offend Chen Qing by increasing the price. He hurriedly said, "Senior, it would take about two hundred spirit stones to upgrade my Thunder Butterfly from the Fourth Revolution to the Fifth Revolution. I am willing to offer twenty spirit stones for Senior's guidance!"

Chen Qing was infuriated.

I've worked so hard to pretend for so long, and you're only giving me twenty spirit stones? Are you trying to dismiss a beggar?

But when he saw the 20 Spirit Stones, he instantly calmed down.

That was twenty mid-grade spirit stones!

One mid-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for one hundred low-grade spirit stones, which was two thousand low-grade spirit stones!

No wonder they said a sword vermin cost one hundred and sixty spirit stones. It turned out that this scholar usually used mid-grade spirit stones for transactions!

I'm rich!

I'm rich!

I'm really rich this time!

Murong Lang respectfully placed the twenty mid-grade spirit stones in front of Chen Qing. Chen Qing didn't even look at them and said, "Thundercloud mother energy."

Murong Lang cupped his hands and thanked him, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Seeing that Murong Lang had received his guidance, Hu Yao didn't wait any longer. She took out ten mid-grade spirit stones and placed them in front of Chen Qing with both hands, "Please guide me, senior."

Chen Qing replied indifferently, "Foundation Establishment Tiger Demon Teeth."

Hu Yao smiled sweetly, "Thank you, senior."

Foundation Establishment Tiger Demon Teeth might be difficult for others to get, but for Hu Yao, wasn't it a piece of cake?

When she went back, she would ask her father if his teeth hurt.

After the transaction was completed, no one knew what to say for a moment. Chen Qing suggested, "You can start talking now."

Hu Yao then remembered that she still had a business deal to do, "The sword vermin might take some time. I have to find an opportunity."

Murong Lang nodded. At this time, the sword vermin was no longer an urgent matter to him. Being able to come to this gathering was the most important thing for him.

"No hurry. You can consolidate your strength for a while. Don't take risks."

Seeing that Murong Lang wasn't in a hurry, Hu Yao was relieved.

After Senior Absolute Primordium came to this gathering, the whole gathering would be different.

She had to seize this opportunity!

Murong Lang asked about the use of sword vermin again, and Hu Yao gave some simple answers.

"The use of sword vermin requires the guidance of a sword manual."

"Sword vermin requires a special sword technique."

"Without a matching sword technique, its power will be greatly reduced."

"However, it's not something that can be obtained easily. It's a secret of a sect."

This was the first time Chen Qing heard of a sword manual. It was said that Carefree Mountain had a sword manual, and it was in the hands of the Mountain Lord.

Apart from the Mountain Lord's approval, there was no other way to learn it.

The two chatted for a while. Seeing that they had nothing else to say, Chen Qing said, "Today's gathering is over."

Murong Lang and Hu Yao stood up and respectfully said, "I look forward to meeting you next time."

Hu Yao reached out to take off the mask on her face. The smell of squirrels in the tree hole always made her feel hungry.

But in the end, she didn't catch a few squirrels to roast and eat. Those things had too little meat.

She decided to catch a few fat groundhogs to fill her stomach.

In the Land of Thunder, Murong Lang took off the mask on his face and walked out of the quiet room. He looked at the boy who was waiting outside the door. "Have you heard of the legend of the Absolute Beginning?"

The boy was puzzled. "Mister, what is Absolute Beginning?"

Murong Lang smiled and shook his head. He reached out his hand and rubbed the boy's head. Then, he turned around and left. He said in a voice that only he could hear, "You will hear it in the future."

A moment later, he slapped his forehead. "Oh no, I was too excited before and forgot to ask Senior Tai Chu to confirm a time!"

"The next time I go, I'll definitely mention it to Senior."

As for Hong Lian, he did not place any hopes on her. That girl looked like a tiger with a brain that lacked a brain.

At the same time, the host of this gathering, the leader of the Aurora Cult's branch that Murong Lang and Hu Yao spoke of, was fighting against a storm.
