Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 145: Between Life and Death, People's Hearts Are Unpredictable

There was only a straw hut by the lake in the magnificent city.

This was where Hao Chengtian cultivated. He personally disliked the style of the Vast Universe Tribe, as he felt that it was too ostentatious.

Hence, he built a hut here and lived.

Subordinates had to obey their superiors.

His sword attendants were usually young and outstanding men, and they usually wore cotton clothes.

Hearing Hao Chengtian's question, Lu Xian answered respectfully, "I brought the Golden Crow to the Dragon Spring Tribe and defeated them."

Hao Chengtian nodded slightly, "Not bad. What do you think of Qing Xu?"

Lu Xian lowered his head, "Qing Xu is just a grassland. If he wants to succeed, he has to rely on the Vast Universe Tribe. He can be controlled."

Hao Chengtian also said, "That's true. However, it's just the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth. It might be useful against ordinary prodigies, but against true prodigies, it can only block a few moves."

"He's a good helper. Let him do as he pleases. As long as it's not a big deal, there's no need to inform me."

Lu Xian left respectfully and walked out of the straw hut. He came to a restaurant in the city and walked into a room that had been set aside.

He pushed open a secret compartment, and a dense fog immediately spilled out, completely surrounding him.

When the fog completely surrounded him, Lu Xian said, "Master Death Omen, the matter of letting the Lord of Mortal World enter the Vast Universe Tribe has been completed!"

"I've also dealt with Hao Chengjian, who was about to discover my identity."

"I purposely sent Hao Chengjian to cause trouble at the Nine Serenities Goddess's Dao Discussion Conference, and used that as an excuse to kill Hao Chengjian and let the Lord of Mortal World enter the Vast Universe Tribe's eyes."

"Then, I convinced Hao Chengtian to keep him as a guardian."

A clear female voice came from the secret compartment, "Mm, not bad. Well done."

"Think of a way to let the Lord of Mortal World live peacefully in the Vast Universe Tribe for a while."

"The hunters have already set off, but we haven't found out which force they are from."

Lu Xian lowered his head, "Understood!"

The female voice sounded again, "Right, think of a way to send the Nine Serenities Goddess out. Although she's a piece of trash, her identity is still useful."

"In the Nine Serenities, we might be able to open the Impermanence Gate."

"With the Impermanence Gate, we might be able to communicate with the Cult Leader's obsession.

"This is also a big deal!"

Lu Xian nodded and said, "Yes!"

The woman's voice continued, "According to our observations, the Lord of Earthly Life actually has the temperament of a hamster."

"As long as we don't force him into a dead end, he won't act recklessly."

"Feed the hamster until it's full, then it'll be quiet."

The fog slowly dissipated. Lu Xian picked up the wine pot in the room and drank a mouthful of wine. He looked outside through the window.

The prosperity of the world was built on the bones of the Extreme Light Religion.

One day, the Extreme Light Religion would appear in front of everyone again. At that moment, everyone should kneel down and call it the Eternal Aurora.

The hamster-like Lord of the Mortal World?

The successors of the other sects were either dragons and phoenixes among men or fierce tigers.

Their Lord of the Mortal World was rather interesting.

There was nothing wrong with being like a hamster. Wasn't the owner of the Wan Bao Pavilion a hamster?

He walked out of the door. At this moment, he was no longer a member of the Extreme Light Religion lurking in the Vast Sky Tribe, but the sword attendant of the Vast Sky Tribe's young master.

Arriving at Chen Qing's courtyard, Lu Xian walked in and took a closer look at the Lord of the Mortal World. He felt that he was extremely calm and had no other special characteristics.

"The young master said that you did well, keep it up."

Chen Qing laughed, "As long as the young master is satisfied. My next target is the Medicine Valley Tribe. They have a lot of treasured herbs, which should be very helpful to the young master's cultivation."

Lu Xian thought for a moment. The Medicine Valley Tribe wasn't a big tribe, they were just blessed with a treasured land to grow treasured herbs.

Thinking that there shouldn't be too much danger, he said, "The young master said that there's no need to inform him about such a small matter."

Chen Qing was naturally happy when he heard this, "Go, I need to cultivate properly."

He was going to wait for the Dragon Capture Gu and Fu Yao Gu to transform into butterflies before going.

The City of Thousand Boats.

A black dragon boat slowly sailed across the river. After the heavy rain, a thick fog rose from the river, dyeing the landscape into an ink-colored painting.

After turning around a cliff, another river flowed into this one. On that river, a small boat slowly approached the dragon boat.

Ao Fei was wearing a red blademaster robe, standing on the deck of the dragon boat, carefully looking at the small boat.

If the information he received was correct, the person on this small boat was the overall commander of their trip.

As the boat approached, Ao Fei clearly saw that the person sitting at the bow was actually Blue Roving Dragon Girl!

"Sister Blue Roving Dragon?"

"You're the overall commander this time?"

Blue Roving Dragon Girl, who was wearing a white gauze robe, shook her head, "That's not me, I just came to watch the fun."

Ao Fei only felt something flash in front of his eyes, the cabin of the boat moved slightly, and in the next moment, there was an additional person beside him.

This person was tall, even taller than him, a pure-blood dragon in human form.

This person's body was robust, and he had the aura of an emperor looking down on the world.

"I'm the overall commander of this operation," Ji Chang said softly.

His voice was slightly strange, as if he was speaking word by word instead of a complete sentence.

In Ao Fei's ears, it sounded strange.

"Why did Ji Chang come in person?"

Ji Chang said seriously, "The reason why I woke up is because of him."

"So, I naturally have to come in person."

Ao Fei asked, "Although the higher-ups of the Dragon Palace and Da Wu think that the Lord of Mortal World who has entered the Death Realm is a fake, why are you so sure?"

"He has already wiped out the forces of my Dragon Clan!"

"What you should do is to break through to the Ghost Face Realm as soon as possible and solve this hidden danger!"

Ji Chang shook his head, "Although that Yao Feng is not weak, after reading the battle report, I feel that he is still a little inferior to the real Lord of Mortal World."

"The real Lord of Mortal World is an overlord who can rule a world for 60 years. He would never act in such a hurry."

"And according to the battle report, he only has the strength of an ordinary Divine Son or Divine Daughter."

"Far from the level of one person ruling an era."

"In the battle three hundred years ago, he defeated everyone and all the great sects!"

"I speculate that Yao Feng should only be the Dao Protector of the real Lord of Mortal World."

Ao Fei thought of the tragedy three hundred years ago, although he admitted that Ji Chang's words made sense.

But there was still a trace of displeasure in his heart.

He had almost wiped out all the forces of the Dragon Clan in the Death Realm, and he was still not strong enough?

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked, "Where are you going?"

Ji Chang looked to the west, "Western Desert!"

Ao Fei asked, "But what's the specific target?

Do you know who he is? "

Ji Chang shook his head.

Ao Fei asked, "You don't even know who he is, how are you going to act?"

Ji Chang said confidently: "Kill all possible targets, and the mission will be completed."

At this moment, Ao Fei finally understood what it meant to be a peerless genius who could lead a storm by himself.

Such courage, as expected of a true dragon of Great Liao.

The wind blew away the surrounding fog, Ao Fei suddenly felt that this journey to Western Desert would be filled with bloodshed.

At midnight, Chen Qing stuffed a spirit herb sent by Vast Sky Division into his mouth and walked into his room. He wore the bronze grimace mask and prepared to participate in today's gathering.

After the usual greetings, Chen Qing gave Hu Yao, Murong Lang, and Xu Yaofeng some pointers on their gu worm needs.

He obtained five spirit pearls.

This was the least he had gained recently, but he did not care about these gains now.

After all, he needed these people to grow.

Ji Ru did not ask for pointers, which was rare. Chen Qing glanced at Ji Ru from the corner of his eyes, he could see that she was very anxious now.

Some small movements betrayed her.

His index finger was pressing down on his thumb.

It seemed that he had not gathered the materials for Three Year Cicada Realm.

It made sense, if Three Year Cicada Realm's materials were so easy to gather, Great Liao would not have so many Imperial Emperors who died prematurely.

Chen Qing crossed his arms: "Now, you can start chatting."

Xu Yaofeng looked around and realized that Hu Yao and Murong Lang didn't have anything they wanted to say. He then said, "I think the outside world already knows that I've entered the Death Realm. Judging from the reactions of all parties, it's especially intense."

"Especially Dragon Palace, they have already awakened an ancient dragon and entered the Death Realm, temporarily blocking Shang Tong."

"I have to say, the retainer is indeed very strong."

"I destroyed Dragon Palace's main force in the previous battle, but he was still able to hold the situation."

Xu Yaofeng looked at Ji Ru and asked: "What's the situation in Great Liao?"

Ji Ru spoke very quickly, but fortunately, everyone here was at foundation establishment, so they could hear her clearly.

"Ji Chang is in seclusion, he said he will cultivate to the grimace realm in three years."

"Now, all the clans in Great Liao have come out to support Ji Chang in establishing an immortal achievement in the Death Realm."

"You still have some time to prepare."

Xu Yaofeng relaxed a lot when he heard the number three. After seeing the ancient dragon's strength, he was a little wary of Ji Chang.

Fortunately, he still had three years to prepare.

After the gathering ended, Chen Qing took off the bronze grimace mask on his face and stored it in his inner space.

"Three years?"

"Then I have to hurry. I have to enter the Death Realm within three years."

"It's best to enter the Death Realm one step ahead of time. Only then will it be easier to set up a trap."

He took out the precise map of the Vast Universe Division and placed his finger on the Medicine Valley Division. "Break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment first."

"We should be more arrogant this time to stimulate their fighting spirit."

"Only after we win can we take away their spiritual herbs without any qualms."

The next morning, Chen Qing had just woken up when he heard a commotion outside. "Is that Yu Chengfeng's voice?"

"What does this guy want now?"

Chen Qing stood up and washed his face with the help of a maid. "Call Yu Chengfeng in."

Yu Chengfeng hurriedly walked in. When he saw Chen Qing, he hurriedly reported, "Lord Guardian, bad news!"

Chen Qing wiped his face. "Speak slowly. Don't rush."

Yu Chengfeng said, "I think the Medicine Valley Division was ambushed last night!"

When Chen Qing heard this news, he was a little anxious. "What's going on?

We haven't set off yet? "

Yu Chengfeng said, "I received news from a spy lurking in the Medicine Valley Division that Hidden Sword Mountain made the first move!"

Chen Qing asked doubtfully, "Hidden Sword Mountain, the one behind the current Imperial Advisor in the capital?"

Yu Chengfeng nodded. "That's right. It's Hidden Sword Mountain!"

"The current Imperial Advisor is from Hidden Sword Mountain!"

Chen Qing continued to ask, "Who went?

Is it the successor of Hidden Sword Mountain? "

Yu Chengfeng shook his head. "Such a big shot like him has the same status as our Young Master. Usually, he won't make a move personally."

"The one who went to subdue the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Medicine Valley Division this time is his Junior Brother, Zhang Jianfeng!"

That was fine. After all, he was not the Imperial Advisor's personal disciple. Even if he was killed, it would not be a big deal.

After all, he was now the Guardian of the Vast Universe Division's Young Master.

Needless to say, this identity was quite useful.

"Who does he think he is? Gather the troops and follow me!"

Yu Chengfeng was overjoyed. He was afraid that Chen Qing would not agree.

Previously, he had followed Chen Qing on a trip and received a lot of spirit stones and spirit herbs. This was something he could not ask for more.

Following Chen Qing and cheering him on would give him a share of the treasures. This was something he could not ask for.

"Alright, I'll pass down the order right away!"

Yu Chengfeng had just turned to leave when Chen Qing called out to him. "Wait a moment. Don't the Medicine Valley Division still have three Profound Martial Realm cultivators?

How dare Zhang Jianfeng do this? "

Yu Chengfeng said, "The news says that these three Profound Martial Realm cultivators received orders from the capital yesterday morning and are already heading there!"

Chen Qing asked, "Is this the Imperial Advisor's order?"

Yu Chengfeng shook his head. "No, it's the King's order. This morning, my grandfather and the other eighteen Profound Martial Realm cultivators in the clan left for the Royal City, as well as the three Grand Elders."

"They also received orders from the King."

"The King only sends out an order once every few years. No one dares to disobey."

Only then did Chen Qing understand. It seemed that the situation was very clear.

King Wu was really preparing to raise Gu.

He summoned all the existences at the Profound Martial Realm and above away, leaving behind a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators to fight among themselves.

In this way, he raised a ruthless character who led a large number of Ghost Face Realm cultivators into the Death Realm.

Chen Qing reckoned that King Wu did not expect anyone to become the Lord of the Death Realm in the Death Realm. He probably just wanted to preserve the young geniuses of the Nanli Martial Kingdom.

Damn it, did this old thing think that the world was not chaotic enough?

If he left behind a group of young and energetic Foundation Establishment cultivators who all wanted to go to the Death Realm to make a name for themselves, wouldn't the entire Martial Kingdom turn into a pot of porridge?

Of course, this was from the perspective of Chen Qing, who had only lived for twenty-three years.

Chen Qing still could not figure out the thoughts of an old monster who had lived for eight hundred years.

Perhaps, for an existence like King Wu, there was no difference between those below the Profound Martial Realm.

It was like he was clearly a person of the Void, but after staying in this world for eleven years, he had not come into contact with any experts of the Void.

He had only given him a Void Flower and nothing else.

He had not even met him, let alone received a word or two of advice.

He also did not tell him what he could do and what he could not do.

If he committed a crime, would anyone come forward to save him?

Forget about the Extreme Light Sect. This sect was suffused with a strange smell from the beginning to the end.

It had once shrouded the heavens. Even after its decline, there were still peerless geniuses who could dominate the world.

Unable to figure it out, Chen Qing simply stopped thinking about it.

Didn't Sun Wukong rely on the real and fake Monkey King to put on a show to understand the Buddha's intentions?

It wasn't time for that yet.

He had to take down the Medicine Valley Tribe. After that, he was confident that he could rely on the treasured herbs stored in the Medicine Valley Tribe to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

After checking his condition, Chen Qing walked out of the door, only to see more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators rushing over in a hurry.

Glancing at Yu Chengfeng, who was making arrangements, Chen Qing asked, "How many people did Zhang Jianfeng bring?"

Yu Chengfeng said, "The news said 50 Foundation Establishment Cultivators!"

"After all, it's the Hidden Sword Mountain where the Grand Tutor is from. They have a strong foundation."

Chen Qing immediately ordered, "Bring a hundred people. We'll go to the Medicine Valley Tribe to seek justice for them!"

Yu Chengfeng immediately understood Chen Qing's meaning. "Yes, yes, yes. We're going to seek justice. The Hidden Sword Mountain is too despicable. How dare they attack when they're innocent!"

He immediately ordered, "You, you, you, and all of you, go wake up those Foundation Establishment Cultivators who are in seclusion. Gather a hundred people. We'll ride the Golden Crow to seek justice for the Medicine Valley Tribe!"

After all, it was a top sect. They even dared to attack the Hidden Sword Mountain that had a Grand Tutor.

They did have a strong foundation.

If it was in the past, Chen Qing wouldn't have had such an opportunity. But now, he could openly go against such a powerful sect without worrying about future troubles. It was very comfortable.

What did the Taihao Tribe do have to do with him?

I'm just a lowly Dao Protector.

Yu Chengfeng also tasted the benefits of going with Chen Qing last time. In less than two hours, he had gathered a hundred and five people.

After knowing that Chen Qing was Hao Chengtian's protector, they stood obediently and waited to depart.

When they arrived at the Spiritual Beast Garden, Chen Qing fed the Golden Crow and rode it into the city. He shouted, "Come up quickly. We're going to support the Medicine Valley Tribe!"

Hundreds of people landed on the Golden Crow's back, but it wasn't crowded. The Golden Crow immediately spread its wings and flew towards the Medicine Valley Tribe.

When the Golden Crow flew, it was like a red cloud crossing the sky. It was very beautiful.

Chen Qing sat on the Golden Crow's neck and felt the wind blowing. His heart was filled with pride!

As long as one wasn't in the Profound Martial Realm, there wouldn't be many who could compete with him. Even if there was, wasn't there still the Golden Crow?

According to Chen Qing's observation, the Golden Crow's strength was at least comparable to the Profound Martial Realm. However, it was rare for spiritual beasts to be used in battles between the various tribes.

Even if he were to defeat the other party with his spirit beast, the other party would not be convinced.

If the Golden Crow attacked, the nature of the situation would change.

Not subdued, but exterminated.

Chen Qing didn't have such thoughts.

Without an order from the Royal City, if a tribe was exterminated for no reason, they would be hunted down by the entire Martial Kingdom.

However, the Royal City did not care about the conflicts between the various tribes.

The Golden Crow flew across the sky. However, night had just fallen when Chen Qing saw a blazing fire in the valley ahead.

"These bastards actually dare to set a fire!"

"I wonder how many spirit herbs will be burned!"

Those spirit herbs should have been his in the first place.

At this moment, looking at the prairie fire, he could not help but feel angry.

Yu Chengfeng could understand Chen Qing's feelings. He had the same thoughts as Chen Qing.

"These scum of the Sword-hidden Mountain!"

"Utterly heartless!"

"The crimes they have committed are too numerous to be recorded!"

The people of the Sword-hidden Mountain were above the Medicine Valley Tribe's valley. They were slightly surprised to see the Golden Crow.

"Why are the Taihao Tribe here?"

"Quickly report to Senior Brother Zhang!"

"The Taihao Tribe received the news just as quickly as we did!"

"It seems that they also know that the Profound Martial Realm cultivators of the Medicine Valley Tribe have been transferred away by the Royal City!"

"What are you afraid of? If Senior Brother Zhang says that he is the third in the Southern Li Tribe, no one would dare to say that they are the second!"

"What Taihao Tribe? Senior Brother Zhang can destroy them with a flip of his hand!"

In the midst of the fire, a young man in white with a wooden sword on his back walked in the fire. From time to time, he would reach out and grab a spirit herb.

"This one is not bad. I can bring it back for Senior Brother."

He picked up a larger one with more medicinal properties. "Hmm, this one doesn't look good. I'll use it for myself."

Soon, a Sword-hidden Mountain disciple came to his side. "Senior Brother!"

Zhang Jianfeng turned around impatiently. "What's wrong? The Medicine Valley Tribe's gate hasn't been breached yet?"

The Sword-hidden Mountain disciple said, "No, the Taihao Tribe is here!"

Zhang Jianfeng said angrily, "It's just the Taihao Tribe. Even if Hao Chengtian comes personally, I'm not afraid of him. I'll just suppress him. It's not a big deal!"

He turned to look at the sky in the distance, which was illuminated by the Golden Crow's flames.

The Golden Crow flew over his head and arrived in front of the Medicine Valley Tribe's gate. Immediately, hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators flew down and repelled the Sword-hidden Mountain disciples.

"Fellow cultivators of the Medicine Valley Tribe, don't be afraid. The Taihao Tribe is here to help you!"

"A mere Sword-hidden Mountain dares to behave atrociously in the Medicine Valley Tribe. Do you think that the Taihao Tribe doesn't exist?"

Although the Medicine Valley Tribe members understood the Taihao Tribe's intentions, it was the Sword-hidden Mountain who attacked them first. Seeing that someone had come to their rescue, they were still grateful.

"Fellow cultivators of the Taihao Tribe, thank you for your help!"

Zhang Jianfeng stepped out of the sea of fire and walked in the air like a fire god. "Taihao Tribe, if you retreat now, I can still spare your lives!"

Although he was facing hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators alone, there was no trace of fear on his face.

Zhang Jianfeng looked like a pure Daoist priest. However, the moment he spoke, he was extremely arrogant.

He had his own pride.

Standing on the head of the Golden Crow, Chen Qing looked at Zhang Jianfeng in the sea of fire and shouted, "You're Zhang Jianfeng?"

Zhang Jianfeng nodded. "So what if I am? Who are you? I've never seen you before. How dare a nobody call me by my name?"

Chen Qing said, "I'm the protector of the Taihao Tribe's Hao Chengtian. I advise you to stop right now and I can still spare your lives!"

Zhang Jianfeng laughed out loud. "Are you joking?"

Chen Qing said, "Seeing that you're at mid-stage Foundation Establishment, I won't bully you with numbers!"

"Suppress your cultivation to early-stage Foundation Establishment and fight me!"

"If I lose, I'll leave with the Taihao Tribe!"

"If I win, you'd better get lost!"

Zhang Jianfeng's expression did not change. "Early-stage Foundation Establishment?"

"I'll suppress my cultivation to the perfected Qi Refinement realm to fight you!"

"Otherwise, I, Zhang Jianfeng, will lose face if word of what happened today gets out!"

Chen Qing frowned slightly. Was he that arrogant?

Initially, he thought that he was already arrogant enough. However, it seemed like the world was too small and he had seen too few people. There were all kinds of people.

"Alright then, suppress your cultivation realm first."

'I'll go easy on you later so that I don't have to explain myself if I kill you.'

'Hmm, that's a little awkward.'

He did sleep for a while, but it was a little too long.

At first, he took two sleeping pills and there was no reaction. Then, he took two more. Hmm, in short, the effects of the medicine kicked in and he slept for more than a day.

'It's nothing much. Thank you for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.

Thank you. '
