Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 17: The Banquet

Towards the spirit plants elder's scheme, Chen Qing was not too repulsed.

In his previous life, he had worked hard to earn money, taking decades to pay off the house.

After the house, there was still the car.

After the car, there was still the betrothal gifts.

Now that he had a stable position and three people to order around, he would only earn eight thousand spirit stones a year.

The elder seemed to be trying to matchmake his granddaughter and Chen Qing.

Thinking about Yu Qingshuang's impressive figure, he gritted his teeth and accepted it. Even if he had to make do with it, he could still get by.

The only problem was that Chen Qing could not defeat Yu Qingshuang.

He did not know who was in the top position in the room.

Hiss.

Chen Qing, oh Chen Qing, you have fallen!

You are a young talent who is about to reach foundation establishment!

But there is no conflict between having a Dao companion and reaching foundation establishment!

As he pondered, Chen Qing fell asleep.

Three days later, under the sound of firecrackers, many disciples and elders of Carefree mountain gathered in the courtyard of the spirit plant elder.

Elder Chen and the spirit plant elder were extremely happy, their faces were rosy from drinking, introducing Chen Qing to the other elders as if he was their family's young talent.

The familiar laughter of Ye Yuntian resounded, following behind him was the core of Carefree mountain's younger generation. Almost all the cultivators with butterfly Gu worms in Carefree mountain were here.

Chen Qing did not expect the scene to be so grand.

Under Ye Yuntian's introduction, Chen Qing started to familiarize himself with the cultivators with butterfly Gu worms in Carefree mountain.

The five people of war hall all had sword butterflies, they were Ye Yuntian, He Ming, Shen Ao, Guo Feng and Ke Yuhao.

Shen Ao was an orphan who was brought back by the mountain lord after discovering his talent in cultivation. He admired Ye Yuntian and had a similar background to Chen Qing, thus he favored Chen Qing.

The other three were the descendants of the three elders of war hall.

Cultivation hall's hall lord Gong Sun Xiu had good sword skills, but his butterfly Gu worm was wine butterfly.

Cultivation hall's vice hall lord Wu Yi had a simple and honest appearance, he was drunk all day and also had a wine butterfly.

Because cultivation hall needed large amounts of spirit ginseng to brew ginseng wine, after hearing that Chen Qing could take care of spirit ginseng, they favored him greatly.

Drive Beast Hall's vice hall leader, He Ming, had a Crane Gu that could transform into a butterfly, he rode a crane wherever he went.

The hall master of the Drive Beast Hall, Ju Xiu, had a tiger Gu that could transform into a butterfly. She was a very shrewish senior sister and her figure was slightly worse than Yu Qingshuang's.

Shadow hall's leader, Feng Qi, had a wind Gu that could transform into a butterfly. He was dressed in black and had a serious expression. He did not speak much, but it could be seen that he had a good relationship with Ye Yun Tian. As for the others, he was cold to them.

As for the other two Hall Masters of the Shadow Hall, Feng Qi said that they were on a mission and couldn't make it.

Feng Qi solemnly apologized to Chen Qing. Chen Qing smiled and said that the mission was important.

The Shadow Hall usually patrolled the vicinity of the sect, so it was normal that they couldn't come.

All the Hall Masters and Vice Hall Masters, a total of twelve people, were the core strength of the younger generation of Carefree Mountain.

Now, Chen Qing had to be added to the list.

Other than these people, Carefree Mountain still had a Gu worm that could transform into a butterfly, it was Xiao Zhong.

After Ye Yun Tian introduced everyone to Chen Qing, he shrugged and smiled: "Today is my junior brother Chen's big day, other than junior brother Feng and junior sister Feng who are on a mission in Carefree Mountain, anyone in the younger generation who has a butterfly Gu worm that can transform into a butterfly is not giving me, Ye Yun Tian, face!"

After Ye Yun Tian said that, these hall masters did not care, they all knew who Ye Yun Tian was talking about.

He was talking about Xiao Zhong!

After a while, Chen Qing finally saw Xiao Zhong enter with a few Carefree Mountain disciples. "Congratulations junior brother Chen on transforming into a butterfly, I have prepared a gift for you!"

Chen Qing went to welcome him, "I still have to thank senior brother for your guidance that day!

I should be the one thanking senior brother. "

Xiao Zhong smiled, "Junior brother, you are too kind. This is your good fortune, I merely gave you some pointers."

Actually, everyone knew that Chen Qing's Gu worm advanced naturally, it had nothing to do with Xiao Zhong's pointers.

But it was a happy day, everyone did not flare up, they all had smiles on their faces, but no one knew what they were thinking.

In addition to the hall masters, there were also many members of the various halls. Most of them were naturally the disciples of the Spiritual Plant Hall. All of them were present.

The position of the spirit plant hall master had been vacant for a long time, now that Chen Qing was promoted to the vice hall master position, he was no different from the hall master, he naturally came to pay his respects.

The banquet started, every table had two pots of ginseng wine, showing off the new vice hall master's status.

Xiao Zhong drank until he was thirty. It was unknown if he was drunk or what, but he actually said in public, "Junior Brother, although you have the Grass Spirit Gu that can transform into a butterfly, unfortunately, your cultivation is too low. You have to cultivate seriously."

"Or else …"

Before he could finish, Ye Yuntian walked in front of him and shouted condescendingly, "What else do you want?"

Xiao Zhong lightly pushed Ye Yuntian away, "I won't do anything, I am more than happy to see junior brother Chen's Gu worm transform into a butterfly."

"But there are many evil cultivators, junior brother Chen should not leave the mountain."

Ye Yuntian shouted, "Junior brother Chen has my war hall to protect him, you don't need to worry!"

Xiao Zhong snorted, "The sword is in your hand, you have the final say."

Ye Yuntian's breathing began to quicken. He was clearly angry.

Xiao Zhong was clearly being sarcastic, Chen Qing was only qi refinement stage three, how could he be manipulated by their aura!

The atmosphere became increasingly tense, but the elders and the Mountain Chieftain's table in the room remained unmoved.

Chen Qing wanted to go up and mediate, but Feng Qi pressed his shoulder, indicating him not to move.

Ye Yuntian turned around and asked, "Junior brother Feng, I heard you found traces of a sword gu in Sword Abyss, is that true?"

Feng Qi said seriously, "Indeed."

Ye Yuntian said, "Once Junior Brother finds out about the Sword Insect, I will personally bring the War Hall to capture it."

"I came here in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. I'll give this Sword Vermin to Junior Brother Chen as today's gift!"

"Senior Brother Xiao, what do you think?"

Chen Qing almost wanted to thank Xiao Zhong directly. Senior Brother Xiao was an honest person!

If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have gotten such a precious gift like a sword vermin for no reason!

This was more than ten thousand spirit stones!

If it was at a party, it would be 16,000 spirit stones!

Xiao Zhong said, "Junior Martial Brother Ye is really generous."

After finishing his meal, Xiao Zhong left.

However, the other Hall Masters and Vice Hall Masters did not leave. They were prepared to play here until night fell.

Before Ye Yuntian left, he pulled Chen Qing over and put his arm around Chen Qing's shoulder. He whispered in Chen Qing's ear, "I heard that there's news about your yearly stipend. It's estimated to be 8,400 spirit stones. In the future, when you become the Hall Master, you will raise it again."

After that, Ye Yuntian laughed and disappeared into the night with the other Hall Masters.

Chen Qing stood in the night and opened his hand. The Grass Spirit Butterfly in his hand slowly spread its wings.

Next, he would wait for the Sword Vermin to arrive. There was no need to use all his spirit stones to upgrade the Grass Spirit Butterfly.

After all, the stipend in the sect was fixed, and the position of Hall Master was not something that could be obtained in a few years.

He had to find another Wine Vermin.

This way, he would not need to buy spirit wine to cultivate, and he could secretly sell the extra spirit wine.

Chen Qing turned his head and saw Wang Ye, Li He, and Zhou Ke nervously waiting for him.
