Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 120: Lord of the Mortal World

Hanshan city lord's manor.

Xuan Mang paced around the waterside pavilion in the manor, "Little sister, tell me, what are Qing Xu and father plotting?"

Xuan Ping leaned against a stone pillar, "I don't know either."

Xuan Mang asked in confusion, "I keep feeling uneasy."

"Little sister, can you tell me, who is Qing Xu and how strong is he?"

Xuan Ping was a little absent-minded, the shaman's words echoed in her mind, you want to protect him but you don't even know his name.

"He's stronger than you and me."

Xuan Mang's expression changed slightly, he had already reached foundation establishment eight years ago, Chen Qing was only qi refinement level nine now, but he was stronger than him!

Xuan Mang suddenly felt his body relax, as if a burden had been lifted, "Alright."

"Ping 'er, do you like him?"

Xuan Ping said, "I used to, but not anymore."

"Maybe after I reach foundation establishment, I'll like him again."

"When he reaches foundation establishment, I won't like him again."

A girl's thoughts were so unpredictable.

Right now, there weren't many people in Ironflow Valley, all those above qi refinement level five who could fight had been brought out.

The generals fought for merit, all of them extremely courageous, disregarding life and death, it was said that more than ten horses had already died from running.

Although it was a spirit grade Gu that had already been contracted once, it still had a complete inheritance diagram, its value wasn't lower than wild spirit grade Gu, it was even higher.

It was extremely suitable for people without any foundation, through a small amount of wealth, they could obtain great power to change their fate.

Chen Qing led his horse, preparing to walk around Ironflow Valley again, he wanted to thoroughly understand the surroundings.

On one hand, he wanted to deepen his understanding of his light butterfly, to better deal with the internal tribulation of foundation establishment, on the other hand, he wanted to obtain large amounts of precious spirit herbs to reach qi refinement realm perfection.

More capable cultivators would need decades of hard work to reach qi refinement realm perfection, but he only needed a little more than a year to go from qi refinement level three to qi refinement realm perfection.

He was like a god walking in the mortal world, relying on his control of this land, he could casually pluck the treasures on this land.

Chen Qing stood on a spirit fruit tree, reaching out to pluck a crystal-like pear.

Sometimes, he felt like he was a phoenix. Wherever he went, he would take a treasure.

Occasionally, he would stop and feel the joys and sorrows of the human world. It was a bustling night.

He finally understood where Li Chonghuan's indifference and calm came from.

When his strength was strong enough to ignore Qi Refinement and Foundation Building, he was already superior to the rest of the world.

On this day, Chen Qing was leading his horse through the mountains when he suddenly sensed that there was a cave hidden in one of the mountains.

Chen Qing walked in and parted the dense fog in front of him. In the depths of the fog, Chen Qing saw a blood ginseng that was as thick as an arm.

Walking into this abandoned cave, everything inside had already decayed. Even the bones were in tatters.

After walking around the cave, he didn't find any Gu worms. It seemed like this was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment or Qi Refinement cave from a thousand years ago. There weren't any treasures.

Chen Qing walked up to the Blood Ginseng and reached out to pluck its seeds.

"Although you have entered my mouth, your descendants will continue to live on in my Iron Flow Valley."

After saving the seeds, Chen Qing plucked the Blood Ginseng. "With this Blood Ginseng, I should be able to break through to the peak of the Qi Refinement realm."

He took the Blood Ginseng and began his journey back.

When he arrived at Hanshan City, he bought a hundred and eighty thousand low-grade spirit stones worth of treasured medicines from the medicine tower in the city.

A thousand-year-old Nine-headed Ganoderma and an eight-hundred-year-old Icesoul Flower.

These two types of spirit medicines were extremely potent. Together with the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng and the many spirit medicines he had eaten recently, it should be enough.

After returning to Iron Flow Valley, Chen Qing returned to his own pavilion and consumed three top-grade spirit medicines. Chen Qing sat down cross-legged and felt the majestic medicinal power in his body. He began to seriously attempt to break through to the peak of the Qi Refinement realm.

The last hurdle was as difficult as a natural moat. If all the spirit medicines he had eaten were converted into spirit stones, it would be no less than three hundred thousand.

The spirit qi in his body was constantly changing. It gathered together with the medicinal power and began to madly attack his tenth meridian.

The spirit qi in his body surged like a tide, surging in Chen Qing's meridian and attacking the last hurdle.

A tsunami-like sound came from his body. That was the crazily rising and falling spirit qi tide.

Jiang Miaoxian was sleeping downstairs and was awakened by the sound. When she found out that it was Chen Qing who was cultivating, she was even more shocked.

The power of her lord's cultivation was truly extraordinary.

She was not angry because Chen Qing had disturbed her beautiful dream. Instead, she felt lucky.

Ever since Chen Qing came to Iron Flow Valley, there were changes every day.

Not to mention the important matters they were currently doing, just Jiang Yuhu and the others and her had completed the transformation from ordinary cultivators to a Tiger Kui.

Their strength far surpassed their peers and they could look down on the heroes.

After her lord took down the twenty-one clans, she would definitely use the people of Iron Flow Valley more. The status of the people of Iron Flow Valley would also rise.

After a sleepless night, Chen Qing finally opened his eyes when the sun rose.

A majestic spirit qi pressure rushed out in all directions, waking everyone up.

The remaining family members of Iron Flow Valley, as well as the youths, looked at the tallest pavilion in the valley with joy.

Their leader's strength had increased again. This was good news for the entire Iron Flow Valley.

Chen Qing stood up and let out a long breath. His ten meridians were connected!

Now, the meridians in his body started from his dantian and passed through his entire body before returning to his dantian.

The spirit qi in his body flowed endlessly and condensed repeatedly, causing the quality of his spirit qi to increase.

A strand of spirit qi appeared in Chen Qing's hand. Now, three strands of spirit qi could compare to five strands of spirit qi in the past.

It was a qualitative change!

His strength had increased again. Chen Qing also felt his body lighten.

Next, he had to deal with the matters arranged by the great shaman and prepare to build his foundation.

Walking out of the door, he saw Jiang Miaoxian waiting at the door. "How is the situation now?"

Jiang Miaoxian said, "Our nine people in the valley are the fastest. After Yuanwu Jue helped Jiang Yuhu take down a clan, he also helped Jiang Baihu take down another clan."

"As for the thirteen people that the lord brought back, there is no news yet. They are only preparing for war."

After hearing this, Chen Qing was not too worried. The plan he had set up was an open conspiracy. There was no reason for it to fail.

Treasures had always moved people's hearts. If a war broke out at this time, without the help of experts, those tribes would not be able to hold on.

Wei Qingchen was not in Iron Flow Valley at this moment. He was running around making arrangements. Chen Qing did not know the specific news.

As the master, he had become idle at this moment.

However, he was not idle. From now on, he had to stay here and let his spirit ginseng mature faster.

This was the second batch. This time, he had to eat this batch of spirit ginseng no matter what.

Now that he had the light butterfly that could make all things grow, he should be able to make the spirit ginseng mature quickly.

During this period, Chen Qing walked around the spirit field every day. When he was free, he would listen to Jiang Miaoxian's report on the progress of the war.

He listened to the temperament of the twenty-one people. It was always good to learn more about the temperament of his subordinates.

September 15th.

Chen Qing took a bath and consolidated his cultivation. He cultivated for six hours and prepared to attend the gathering.

Wearing the bronze ghost mask, Chen Qing quickly saw the four familiar people.

After a brief greeting, the gathering began.

Unlike before, Hu Yao was very happy to display her Dao Integration Stage light butterfly to Chen Qing.

After the Dao Integration Butterfly, it was no longer in the form of a butterfly. Instead, it was a small white dragon.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised when they saw this.

Seeing the improvement of the people in this gathering always made them feel proud.

Just by looking at the shape of this butterfly, they could tell that this butterfly was extremely extraordinary.

"I was fortunate enough to receive guidance from Senior Tai Chu. My butterfly has already reached Dao Integration!

"It looks like a small dragon and doesn't eat usually. It only comes out for a stroll sometimes.

"It's not very obedient. I had to call it a few times before it would come back."

Seeing the growth progress, Chen Qing understood that this small dragon was absorbing the Dragon Vein Essence on its own.

It seemed that there was a Dragon Vein where Hu Yao lived.

Chen Qing smiled. "That's because it's eating. Your Dao Integration Second Revolution shouldn't require any money."

Hu Yao was even more surprised. "Ah, is that so?"

"Then I'll take it to the places it likes to stroll around in the future."

She immediately became a little embarrassed. "Senior, you're telling me how to upgrade, but I don't have any spirit stones right now."

Chen Qing smiled. "That's fine. You can owe me for now."

He wasn't lacking in spirit stones right now. What he needed was some time to settle down and familiarize himself with everything.

Seeing Hu Yao display her Dao Integration Butterfly, Murong Lang also opened his hand and displayed a butterfly about half the size of his palm.

"Under your guidance, my light butterfly has finally reached the Dao Integration Stage."

Chen Qing looked at Murong Lang's Light Butterfly and discovered that this Light Butterfly was also extraordinary.

This request could be said to be difficult, but it could also be said to be easy.

However, for a scholar, it might be relatively simple.

Chen Qing estimated that Murong Lang's Light Butterfly was very likely to be the first to advance to the Royal Grade.

Seeing the others' Dao Integration Butterflies, Ji Ru was also delighted. "It's really a double blessing!"

She asked about the cultivation of Gu worms and contributed another eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones to Chen Qing. Then, everyone began to chat.

Xu Yaofeng was the first to speak. "There's news from the sect. The Aurora Sect in the north encountered a terrifying existence and was annihilated before reaching the Immortal Island."

"However, I found out that someone had used the teleportation formation in the north half a month ago."

"The situation is very clear now. A ray of light has really appeared in our Aurora Sect."

"The Aurora Sect has already started to chase the light."

"All the higher-ups have chosen to block the news."

"Currently, all information about that person is being quickly extinguished."

"I don't dare to continue investigating. I'm afraid that the big shots in the sect will find out."

Murong Lang said, "You're right to be careful. We're all still growing. It's not good to have a direct conflict with the big forces."

Ji Ru said, "In other words, after three hundred years, the Aurora Sect has produced another ray of light, a Lord of the Mortal World?"

Xu Yaofeng said, "Three hundred years, I don't know about such a long time ago."

"However, because of the light dust, this ray of light is indeed called the Lord of the Mortal World by the sect."

Ji Ru said, "I saw it in a history book. Most people can't see that book, but I was lucky enough to see it."

"It's said that three hundred years ago, the Aurora Sect also produced a Lord of the Mortal World."

"At that time, it happened to be the time when the Dragon Crown Prince of the North Sea walked the world."

"Because of a dispute in the Death Realm, the Lord of the Mortal World killed the Dragon Crown Prince and then led the Aurora Sect to destroy all the forces of the Dragon Clan in the Death Realm."

"Then, this Lord of the Mortal World stayed in the Death Realm for sixty years. Within these sixty years, no one in the Dragon Clan dared to advance to the third realm of cultivation, Ghost Face, and enter the Death Realm to cultivate. Thus, a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators were lost."

"The Lord of the Mortal World stayed in the Death Realm, and the Dragon Clan could only seek lifespan Gu everywhere to extend the lifespan of their Foundation Establishment experts."

"Unfortunately, countless Foundation Establishment cultivators who had hopes of breaking through to the Ghost Face realm still died because of this."

Chen Qing immediately became interested in this.

He knew too little about the Ghost Face and Profound Martial realms.

Other than knowing the names of the realms from Xuan Ping, he knew nothing else.

As for the Ghost Face realm, he had never even seen it.

In fact, in those cave dwellings he found, they were either Foundation Establishment or Profound Martial Realm.

Xu Yaofeng smiled confidently, "Of course, although the Aurora Sect has declined, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse."

"In the Ghost Face realm, no one is a match for our Aurora Sect!"

"Since the Lord of the Mortal World has already appeared, then after some time, the Death Realm will definitely return to our Aurora Sect!"

There's another chapter in the afternoon.
