Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 147: Not the Aura of a Hero, But the Aura of a King

Zhang Jianfeng stepped on his flying sword and casually grabbed a flying sword, slicing apart the huge river in front of him.

The sword beam spread for more than a hundred feet, dispersing the clouds.

Chen Qing and Zhang Jianfeng each used their divine powers, causing the spectators to be amazed.

Both of them were peerless geniuses who rose from the ordinary. Now that they were fighting with all their might and using all sorts of techniques, it was a feast for the eyes.

"As expected of Zhang Jianfeng, the third in the Sword Dao!"

Even the people of the Vast Universe Tribe could not help but exclaim.

"Who is this person? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

"The Vast Universe Tribe is a top major tribe after all. The Dao Protector of their young master is indeed extraordinary!"

"Seems like the young master of the Vast Universe Tribe really has a chance to compete with us Eldest Senior Brothers!"

After fighting for two hours, no matter how exquisite Zhang Jianfeng's sword technique was, the spirit qi in his body was almost depleted.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qing opened his mouth with his massive body and sucked in all the spirit qi within a thousand feet radius!

Large amounts of spirit qi gathered in his body once more. Chen Qing's might did not decrease and he advanced even more ferociously!

He used Dragon-Catcher Hands to its limits and attacked Zhang Jianfeng continuously!

Zhang Jianfeng's spirit qi was running out, but he was still determined to fight Chen Qing with his sword.

Chen Qing sent him flying several times. Even though he was covered in blood, Zhang Jianfeng was still fighting relentlessly!

His sword beam turned from a thousand to a hundred as his Dragon-Catcher Hands released thunderous sounds!

"Zhang Jianfeng, do you have a death wish?"

Zhang Jianfeng was bathed in blood and smiled proudly with his sword. "If this sword breaks, how is that different from death?"

"Today, either you die or I die. This is our destiny!"

Destiny?

What destiny?

I, Chen Qing, only want the identity of a Dao Protector!

You really think that's a big deal?

Chen Qing's strongest point now was not his divine powers, but his powerful physique that allowed him to recover rapidly.

In terms of endurance, Chen Qing was not afraid of any Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

Seeing that Zhang Jianfeng was still charging forward, Chen Qing had no choice but to knock Zhang Jianfeng unconscious and retract his divine powers.

He lifted Zhang Jianfeng onto the Golden Crow's back. "Hidden Sword Mountain, go back and tell the people who can make decisions!"

"Zhang Jianfeng and I had a fair fight. He was the one who removed the suppression of his cultivation base.

"Since Zhang Jianfeng has been defeated, he is now my prisoner!"

"If you want to redeem him, give me a spirit grade flying sword Gu!"

Chen Qing threw the half-dead Zhang Jianfeng to Yu Chengfeng and immediately walked towards the Medicine Valley Division.

Now that the leading general of the Hidden Sword Mountain had been captured alive by Chen Qing, they naturally lost the will to advance.

"Quickly go back and report to Eldest Senior Brother!"

"I'm afraid that Senior Brother Zhang cultivates the sword of extreme toughness, the Dao of eternal victory."

"After this battle, I'm afraid that his Dao Heart has been shattered. How can he still be worth a spirit grade sword insect?"

Many disciples of the Hidden Sword Mountain left resentfully, filled with unwillingness.

"I never thought that Senior Brother Zhang would actually lose."

"Senior Brother Zhang has cultivated the sword for twenty years and has never tasted defeat. What a pity!"

Chen Qing did not pay any attention to the remaining disciples of the Hidden Sword Mountain. What they wanted to fight for was the right to command the Medicine Valley tribe, not to completely offend the Hidden Sword Mountain.

Letting these people go meant that he did not go too far.

When he walked into the Medicine Valley Division, a young woman wearing a veil immediately approached Chen Qing and bowed slightly. "Jiang Xin of the Medicine Valley Division. Thank you for your help!"

"In the future, if Lord Qing Xu intends to enter the Death Realm, you only need to send a letter, and I will definitely bring all the perfected Foundation Establishment cultivators of the clan to pay you a visit and await your orders!"

When she saw Chen Qing's prowess earlier, Jiang Xin had also inquired about his name.

Now that the king had summoned all the Profound Martial Realm cultivators of the country to the capital, it was obvious that he wanted to raise Gu.

Although the Medicine Valley Division had many treasured herbs, they were not strong enough after all. It was better to find someone to rely on as soon as possible.

Chen Qing and Zhang Jianfeng's battle had lasted for a long time, but in Jiang Xin's eyes, Chen Qing still had some strength left and was not injured at all.

On the other hand, Zhang Jianfeng was already covered in blood and half-dead. What should she choose?

Naturally, she would follow the strong!

Jiang Xin stepped forward and opened the door in the middle of the Medicine Valley Division. She lowered her head and said to Chen Qing, "Lord Guardian, you saved the Medicine Valley Division from danger. I am willing to give you two-thirds of the treasured herbs of the Medicine Valley Division as compensation!"

Chen Qing immediately smiled. Coming to help was different from suppressing the Dragon Spring Division.

He did not even have to ask and the other party was willing to give it away for free.

"Please lead the way." At this moment, Chen Qing did not hold back anymore.

Every bit of improvement in his cultivation was worth it.

If he let go of a fat sheep like the Medicine Valley Division, it would be difficult to find another division with so many treasured herbs in the future.

Even if there was, it would be a large division.

It would not be as easy to take down as the Medicine Valley Division.

Looking at the people of the Taihao Division walking happily into the Medicine Valley Division, Chen Qing felt that this group of people was more like bandits than a normal army.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

Now that the situation had just begun, no one knew how to deal with it. Most of them were still doing things in the martial world.

They were still playing the style of one person and one sword to subdue an entire division.

Also, the two top forces of the Nanli Martial Kingdom were still too small compared to the entire world.

Even a large division like the Taihao Division could only bring out a hundred or so Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Half of them followed Chen Qing to expand and gain the support of other divisions, while the other half stayed behind to protect Hao Chengtian.

Even Chen Qing himself could not have predicted what would happen next. The Foundation Establishment situation of the entire Martial Kingdom began to deviate in an extremely strange direction.

And he was the main culprit behind this strange direction.

Following the young and beautiful Jiang Xin, who was dressed in white, Chen Qing came to the deepest part of the Herb Garden.

This place was full of heavenly treasures, and the medicinal Qi was extremely rich. If it were an ordinary third level Qi Refinement cultivator, their cultivation would probably increase just by breathing.

"Miss Jiang Xin, why is it that your Medicine Valley Division has so many spiritual herbs, but not many Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

Jiang Xin bowed and said, "Sir, although the Medicine Valley Division has a treasure land, the inheritance of spiritual gu has long been lost."

"We can only protect ourselves by continuously offering treasured herbs to the large tribes around us."

"If they were not afraid of the Royal City's attack and did not dare to destroy the Medicine Valley Division, the Medicine Valley Division would have been long gone."

Realization dawned on Chen Qing. "Miss, you can hang up the banner of the Taihao Division's Qing Xu. If anyone dares to offend you, I will definitely kill them!"

Hearing Chen Qing's promise, Jiang Xin felt reassured and hurriedly brought Chen Qing to the depths of the Herb Garden.

There was a treasured tree in front of them. It was blood-red in color, like a red coral.

The tree was about three feet tall, and its medicinal properties were restrained. Twelve fruits hung from the tree, nine of which were round and smooth, about the size of a fist.

Jiang Xin stepped forward and introduced, "This is the Red Amber Tree of our Medicine Valley Tribe. It blossoms and bears fruit every thirty years.

"Nine Red Amber Fruits have ripened. I'm willing to offer six to you, sir.

"Consuming one will increase your cultivation by thirty years!

"However, you need to extract its essence. You can only take one drop a month!"

Chen Qing smiled and said, "That's great. Such a treasured medicine, Miss, please help me obtain it!"

Jiang Xin didn't hide it either. Since she had already decided to follow Chen Qing into the Death Realm, then whether she could break through to the Profound Martial Realm and her safety in the Death Realm would all depend on Chen Qing.

She took six of the fruits, put them in a jade box, and handed them to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing took out half a bottle of Golden Wind Cloud Dew. "This is Golden Wind Cloud Dew, a treasure!

"Since I've taken away the precious medicine you've been guarding for so long, I won't treat you badly.

"Take it as compensation!"

Jiang Xin was puzzled, "Sir, why are you giving me a gift? Could it be?"

She looked at Chen Qing strangely, thinking that Chen Qing was plotting against her.

Chen Qing laughed, "I'm already married. I just can't bear to take away the precious medicine you've been guarding for so many years.

"But the Lord of the Mortal World has entered the Death Realm, and the Prince of the Ancient Dragon has awakened.

"If your cultivation isn't profound enough, you'll only die in the Death Realm.

"I had no choice but to do this. Please don't take it to heart!"

Chen Qing never liked to rob. That was what Taiyi liked to do!

When he was at Mount Carefree, he never thought of robbing people no matter how poor he was. Instead, he saved up money to buy things in town.

In the end, it was because he had been cultivating peacefully and hadn't adapted to this chaotic world.

Jiang Xin was slightly stunned, then sent Chen Qing out.

After Chen Qing left, he still had some reservations.

He stood in the valley and mobilized the power of the land, gathering the medicinal energy and landing it on the injured people of the Medicine Valley Tribe.

Relying on the Natal Light Butterfly to heal these people, he left.

Looking at the Vast Tribe leaving, Jiang Xin stood in a daze among the Medicine Valley Tribe members who had recovered from their injuries.

A white-haired elder came to Jiang Xin's side and asked, "Miss, do you really want to follow this person?"

"The way this person does things is too benevolent. He doesn't have the heroic spirit of a hero!"

Jiang Xin touched the half bottle of Golden Wind Cloud Dew in her hand and said, "But, if we follow him, I feel that he won't treat us badly."

"Besides, it's better than the Sword-hidden Mountain, right?"

He took away the precious medicine, but at least he left behind some compensation.

On top of that, they even needed the Medicine Valley tribe to raise the banner of the Green Ruins and protect them.

The white-haired elder was suddenly startled. His expression changed greatly as he suddenly realized, "This person really doesn't have the aura of a hero."

"But according to what Miss said."

"I'm afraid that this person has the aura of a king."

Jiang Xin looked around and panicked. "Don't say this again in the future."

"If not for him, I'm afraid that half of my Medicine Valley Tribe would have been massacred."

Sitting on the back of the Golden Crow, Chen Qing took out a Red Amber Fruit and tossed it to Yu Chengfeng. "Take it back to the department and exchange it for Spirit Stones.

Yu Chengfeng was overjoyed. Disregarding everything else, he could really share spirit stones if he followed this master!

From now on, if anyone dares to say that he's not the Lord Dao Protector of the Vast Sky Tribe, I'll get angry with them!

"Thank you, Lord Dao Protector!"

The people who came along were all overjoyed. They didn't do anything other than shout a few words from the side. How could there be such a comfortable thing in the world?

Unlike Hao Chengtian, who not only made the clans hand over their treasures as tribute, but also made them fight to the death.

Chen Qing took out another Red Amber Fruit and tossed it to Yu Chengfeng. "Take it back and give it to the Young Master!"

Yu Chengfeng hurriedly caught it. "Yes!"

Chen Qing reached into his pocket. Hmm, there were four left. He ate three and kept the last one as a gift, so as to prevent these conquered tribes from being dissatisfied.

After this incident, Chen Qing also realized that instead of attacking forcefully, it was better to wait for Wang Wangsun or the Sword-hidden Mountain to make a move.

Then he would go and rescue them. This way, even if he asked for the treasures, they would be more than willing.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing hurriedly warned, "Keep a close eye on the Sword-hidden Mountain and Wang Wangsun's movements. Once you discover that they've mobilized a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators, report it immediately!"

Hearing this, Yu Chengfeng knew what Chen Qing was thinking, but he was not afraid of Wang Wangsun.

Wang Wangsun, Wang Wangsun. Once King Wu fell, there was no telling who would take over.

Moreover, even if the new king took over, he would not dare to touch a top large tribe like the Vast Universe Tribe. He would still have to rope them in.

"Hmph, what Wang Wangsun? How dare they be arrogant in front of the Vast Universe Tribe? We'll beat them into submission!"

Hearing Yu Chengfeng's words, Chen Qing also understood how thick the Vast Universe Tribe was.

"If we face Wang Wangsun, what can we do at most?"

Yu Chengfeng said confidently, "Our patriarch is a Pillar Nation, ranked first among the Four Pillar Nations of Wu Country!

"Moreover, these Wang Wangsun are not even qualified to meet our king if they haven't reached the Profound Martial Realm.

"As long as we don't kill them, it's not a big deal."

Chen Qing finally understood. Those who had not reached the Profound Martial Realm were not considered human in Royal City.

Speaking of which, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator was probably nothing in Royal City.

If they could not pass the Ghost Face Realm, they would be a pile of dirt in the end. However, they would only live for a hundred years like a mortal.

Hearing this, Chen Qing was completely relieved. He began to plan how to increase his strength when he returned.

He could tell that the difference between him and the geniuses of these top forces was that they all had at least Butterfly Transformation spirit Gu or even Dao Integration spirit Gu.

As for his current Dao Integration spirit Gu, other than the vital light butterfly, he only had Snake Butterfly, a Gu worm that could increase cultivation and defense.

In terms of offense, he still could not compare to these geniuses.

He had completely relied on Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth to forcefully increase his strength several times to reach this level of offense.

After returning this time, apart from cultivating to mid-stage Foundation Establishment, he still had to continue improving the Dragon Capture Gu and Big River Sword, as well as the spirit grade sword Gu that he did not know if he had.

When all of his spirit grade Gu transformed into butterflies or even Dao Integration, his strength would definitely increase greatly!

Hao Chengtian had just woken up from his cultivation and said, "This Dragon Blood Grass is really good. Just one sip of the spirit wine made from it can increase my cultivation level by a year."

"What's left now can support my cultivation for a month!"

A smile appeared at the corner of his lips, but he thought to himself, 'This Qing Xu is much more useful than that Hao Chengjian who only knows how to fight and kill all day and only knows how to ask for cultivation resources from me.

Not only is he efficient, he even gives me all the treasures he has. '

At this moment, Lu Xian walked over quickly and presented a jade box. "Young master, Qing Xu has subdued the Medicine Valley tribe. This is the treasure red amber fruit that he offered!"

Hao Chengtian opened the box and a smile appeared on his face. "Good, good, good. Qing Xu is indeed capable!"

He had not used up the Dragon Blood Grass yet, but he gave him the treasure red amber fruit. When did he get such a good deal in the past?

Immediately, Hao Chengtian was even more satisfied. "Not bad, not bad. Lu Xian, it's all thanks to you for persuading me to take him in as my Dao Protector!"

Lu Xian smiled. "I dare not take credit for it. It's all thanks to young master's wisdom to accept my suggestion."

Thank you for your recommendation and monthly votes!
