Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 171: Exquisite Dice and Twin Fish Gu

The next morning.

The new battle report had arrived, the forest deer was hit by twelve arrows because it led the charge.

When it returned, the forest deer was already dead.

Chen Qing saw a large group of retreating reinforcements at noon. At this moment, he did not know if Xuan Ping was the one behind it.

That was not important.

He only needed to know one thing, that was, Xuan Ping was doing something beneficial to him.

At the entrance of giant forest, Lu Shenglong sat on a piece of withered wood, inspecting his injuries.

The entire campsite became orderly under Xuan Ping's command, and it didn't seem like their previous appearance at all.

Everything started to become orderly, no one rejected Xuan Ping's orders.

During the battle with Yan Shiying, Xuan Ping had already used her powerful strength to remind everyone of one thing.

That was their commander, Chen Qing, had married into his wife's family.

With such a wife, it was not a loss to marry into her family.

From Lu Shenglong's point of view, if Chen Qing relied on his prestige to bring them all together, then Chen Qing was the one who brought them all together.

Then Xuan Ping used fear to make everyone understand what reverence was.

Chen Qing's attitude towards people was very gentle, causing many people to like Chen Qing.

But Xuan Ping was different. She seemed to innately carry a strong sense of oppression.

If Lu Shenglong knew that when Xuan Ping reflected her life on the immortal island, she had the life of a true phoenix, he might feel that it was normal.

It was as if she was born to control such a powerful force, she easily took over everything in her hands.

Be it Zhang Can, Yan Bailiang, Su Yi or Lu Shenglong, when facing such a powerful leader's wife, they could only instinctively feel reverence.

Her body seemed to have an extremely dangerous aura.

The deterrence of killing a foundational with one arrow, was even more terrifying than Chen Qing killing other foundational cultivators.

And her identity, made them unable to go against her.

In theory, Xuan Ping was the female leader of Xuan Bird tribe.

Soon, Lu Shenglong saw Jiang Xin flying in front of him. "General Lu, Guard Leader summons you."

Lu Shenglong walked into Chen Qing's treehouse and looked around, when he found that Xuan Ping was not around, he actually heaved a sigh of relief.

The four main generals sat down, Qing Ran also entered.

Qing Ran had just walked into the wooden house when she said anxiously, "Lord Guard, Senior Lin, he died in battle?"

Chen Qing lightly nodded. "Yes, Yan Shiying is cunning. Senior Lin has been plotted against."

Qing Ran panicked for a moment and was stunned on the spot.

The reason why all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the State of Lin could unite was all because of the deer in the forest.

Now that the Deer in the Forest had died, what would happen to the Foundation Establishment Stage of the Lin Kingdom?

Chen Qing said in a low voice, "Senior Lin died in battle. We are also heartbroken."

"But we can't just stop here."

"According to the information I received, Yan Shiying didn't just lure you all here."

"He even secretly sent a small team to the Divine Weapon Treasure World with the Black Armor Gu, and obtained many Black Armor Gu."

"We need to hurry to Divine Weapon Treasure World to get the Gu, otherwise, we will lose a large number of Black Armor Gu."

"Yan Shiying's forces will grow stronger again!"

Chen Qing stood up and walked to Qingran's side, saying, "I'm going to make you the new leader of the Lin Kingdom's Foundation Establishment cultivators. What do you think?"

Qingran heard this and thought for a moment, "Although my Green Vine tribe is a large tribe, I am still young and don't have Senior Lin's prestige."

"I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."

Chen Qing placed his hand on Qingran's shoulder, "Don't be afraid, if I say you can, you can."

"After joining my Li Bing Wei, your Lin Kingdom's Foundation Establishment cultivators will be in charge of intelligence and logistics, as well as managing the large tribes under us."

"My wife, Xuan Ping, will be the commander, just listen to her arrangements."

Hearing this, Qingran relaxed, "If Lady Xuan Ping is here, I should be able to control everyone."

Not only did the four great generals under Chen Qing feel Xuan Ping's majesty, even Qing Ran felt Xuan Ping's majesty within a day.

If Chen Qing's Li Bing Wei was only a war alliance, then after Xuan Ping's arrival, this organization was gradually transforming into a true force.

After comforting Qingran, Chen Qing quickly ordered Qingran to take over those defeated soldiers.

Although they were defeated soldiers, there were still eight to nine hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators. But Lin Kingdom's Foundation Establishment cultivators were different from other Nan Li countries, they liked to run for their lives.

So after losing more than ten percent of them, they were completely terrified.

Lin Kingdom's Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't be blamed for this, they mostly controlled spirit beasts and were very knowledgeable about managing a place and increasing the wealth of the tribe.

But when it came to war, they were not afraid of a one on one battle, and in a large scale battle, they would be in a state of disunity.

Chen Qing's idea was simple, to use Fire Country's production type Foundation Establishment cultivators and Lin Kingdom's Foundation Establishment cultivators to form his civil service system.

Iron Country's Foundation Establishment cultivators from Wu Country and Xuan Ping would form his military system.

This way, he would be able to raise the Foundation Establishment cultivators under him.

He sent Lu Shenglong and Qingran to lead five hundred soldiers to the Divine Weapon Treasure World to obtain the Black Armor Gu, while Chen Qing brought the remaining army and rushed towards Iron Country's border.

If Xuan Cuo failed to persuade and was captured, he had to deploy his troops here to deter Iron Country's Foundation Establishment cultivators and prevent them from killing Xuan Cuo.

He naturally didn't bring any injured soldiers, the ones he brought were all lightly injured.

So, Chen Qing's army became a strange hundred or so Wu Country's Foundation Establishment cultivators and four hundred Lin Kingdom's Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In the previous battle with Yan Shi Ying, both sides suffered heavy losses.

Almost everyone on Chen Qing's side was injured, and there were only two hundred with light injuries.

But in the process of marching, Chen Qing found that Lin Kingdom's Foundation Establishment cultivators were not dissatisfied at all, and very attentively invited Wu Country's Foundation Establishment cultivators to ride on their spirit beasts.

The reason for this was actually very simple.

Chen Qing brought eight hundred people and more than a hundred reinforcements, and defeated Yan Shi Ying's one thousand and two hundred people.

They had more than a thousand people to chase after the Xuan Guan Army of less than six hundred people, and these Xuan Guan Army had exhausted their spirit qi and fought fiercely for a day and a night.

In the end, they still lost!

So, in their eyes, Wu Country's Foundation Establishment cultivators were far above them.

This played a huge role in Chen Qing's Foundation Establishment cultivators leading Lin Kingdom.

Chen Qing and Xuan Ping sat on a pure white elephant, which was a very famous spirit beast.

White elephants, with a strong blessing aura, could turn misfortune into blessings.

It was Qingran's most important spirit beast, and after knowing that Chen Qing and the rest were preparing to travel, she immediately offered it to them.

Chen Qing didn't stand on ceremony.

He was going to attend a gathering at the border between Lin Kingdom and Iron Kingdom.

Because there was a white jade pavilion on the white elephant, which could isolate the surroundings well.

October 15th night.

The army marched for six days, but there were still eight thousand li left.

Chen Qing looked at the sky, and found that midnight was approaching, so he started to prepare for the gathering.

The carriage curtain in front opened, and Xuan Ping came in with a busy look, sitting opposite Chen Qing.

One had to say, Xuan Ping was beautiful no matter how one looked at her.

Chen Qing rested his head on Xuan Ping's thighs, and asked, "What Gu worm did you get in Linglong Divine Palace, even I am almost not your match."

Xuan Ping said, "Not yet."

"But Bow cultivators have strong attacks, even surpassing sword cultivators."

"And I got some fortuitous encounters."

Xuan Ping lifted the black clothes on her chest, revealing a die.

"This Gu is called Linglong Die, it is a Gu worm that leans towards concealed weapons."

"The most amazing thing is that I can attach this Exquisite Die to my arrows, raising the power of my archery to another level."

"That is why it is so strong."

Chen Qing nodded, it was easy to understand, enchantment.

Chen Qingluo was a little surprised when he saw the Exquisite Dice.

[Spirit grade Law Gu — Exquisite Die]

Quality: Butterfly Transformation Rank eight

Lifespan: 120/500

Effect: Turn spirit qi into exquisite energy and attach it to an item to attack.

Characteristics:

[Soul Chasing]: You can lock onto a person, the exquisite energy will carry the attached item to track them.

Growth requirement: Spirit Rhino Horn

Growth progress: 0/100

Advancement requirement: Three pairs of six ivory tusks, when the sun and moon alternate, steal a handful of spring water.

Six ivory tusks were not hard to find, they should be found in Lin country, but the spring water was hard.

This item rarely appeared in the world and was hard to preserve.

Law Gu?

This was the first time Chen Qing had seen such a name.

Speaking of which, Exquisite Die's ability was indeed close to the Dao.

Although its ability was not 100% accurate, it was very similar.

It was more like a way to use the Dao.

"Its advancement requirement is spirit rhino horn, I can get Qing Ran to get some."

Xuan Ping was slightly shocked, she looked at Chen Qing carefully, but did not ask him how he knew.

"Mm, when the time comes, I will get spirit pearls from Floating Sky City to pay for him."

She tidied her clothes and placed Exquisite Die back on her chest, a Gu worm appeared in her hand.

This Gu worm was in the form of a fish.

After Chen Qing looked at it, he realized he had underestimated Ling Long Divine Palace.

"I met Wu Shang again, he gave it to me."

[Spirit grade Pill Gu — Twin Fish]

Quality: Dao Integration Rank one

Lifespan: 120/600

Effect: Twin Fish, create an additional dantian.

Growth requirement: Tribulation ashes

Growth progress: 5/100

Advancement requirement: Unable to advance further.

The effect was simple and crude, but it was a rare Gu worm.

Adding an additional dantian, although it could not compare to Li Chonghuan's Gu king, it was only a spirit Gu, it was not bad.

"The advancement requirement is tribulation ashes, this item should not be hard to find."

"By the way, how is Wu Shang?"

Xuan Ping said helplessly, "He is so weird and doesn't seem like him anymore. He probably came into contact with large amounts of knowledge in a short time and his mind is a little unclear."

"Fortunately, he can still recognize me."

"Don't worry too much about him, I only obtained the Gu worms of those silver armored generals to have my current strength."

"There might be a Venomous Insect King on the Golden Armor General or in the depths of Linglong Divine Palace."

"In the future, he will be of great help to you."

Xuan Ping suddenly became serious: "Speaking of which, the strongest thing in Linglong Divine Palace is not these Gu worms, but that tree."

"Wu Shang would sometimes appear on his own and smear his blood on that tree."

"After I saw Wu Shang's blood, I ordered everyone not to come out. Only your brothers and Wei Qingchen were allowed to cultivate under the tree."

"After Wu Shang used a large amount of blood to nourish the tree, the mysterious tree became even more mystical."

"My archery and combat skills have increased by several levels."

"Sitting under the tree, cultivators can easily gain enlightenment."

"It is like it is helping us deduce the possibilities and usage of our Gu worms, creating a new technique to control our Gu worms."

"It was under the tree that I fused my Exquisite Dice and archery skills into one."

"This new archery technique, I call it the Exquisite Archery Technique."

"Also, it can help us improve our combat awareness, and every time we move, we can always be one step faster than others."

"Our sense of battle opportunities has become extremely sharp."

Battle opportunities were extremely complicated to speak of.

The older one was, the more battles they had experienced, and the sharper their combat awareness.

To put it simply, it was to do the most appropriate thing at the most appropriate time.

But in reality, it was extremely difficult to do.

Chen Qing originally wanted to wait until after Yan Shiying was eliminated, and then set up his headquarters in Yan Country, because this place was suitable for the growth of spiritual herbs.

But now that he knew the mystical nature of the Feather Immortal Tree, he gave up on this idea.

In this way, the Feather Immortal Tree was much more important than spiritual herbs.

In this case, he could set up his headquarters in Ling Long Divine Palace.

After Yan Shiying was eliminated, no one in the entire Southern Li would be a match for him.

Even if Ling Long Divine Palace appeared in the world, no one in Southern Li would be able to go against him.

As for this king-making battle where all the forces participated, if he lost, he would die.

If he won, he would be the new king of Southern Li, and no one would dare to object to him occupying an immortal tree.

There were many forces behind Chen Qing.

On the surface, he was God Miao's favorite.

Secretly, he was the Lord of Earth of the Extreme Light Sect.

And then, he was the door-pusher of the void.

In the end, he was the only believer of Tai Chu!

Well, there were quite a lot of identities.

After chatting with Xuan Ping for a while, Chen Qing put on the bronze grimace mask and prepared to attend today's gathering.

When he appeared here again, the other four were already seated.

"Respected senior Tai Chu, good evening."

Chen Qing nodded to indicate that he heard it. "Well, Fu Luo, Shusheng, Red Lotus, Yao Feng, good evening."

After the daily guidance, Xu Yaofeng asked for Chen Qing's permission and immediately said, "According to the news I received, something has happened in Southern Li recently."

Chen Qing was immediately interested.

Xu Yaofeng continued, "I belong to the Extreme Light Sect in Damu, so I don't know much about Southern Li."

"But now, I received news from the higher-ups of the Extreme Light Sect."

"Because of the appearance of Yan Shiying, this person who stirred up people's hearts."

"The real Lord of Earth must come out to rectify the situation in Southern Li."

"The strength of this Lord of Earth is somewhat extraordinary, especially that he has mastered an extremely powerful divine ability."

"Celestial Phenomenon!"
