Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 174 Writing by Chen Qing

On one hand, he had to guard against Yan Shiying causing trouble again. On the other hand, he had to control this huge territory.

Things could only be done one at a time.

After handing over the matter of guarding against Yan Shiying to Xuan Ping, Chen Qing finally had the mind to manage such a large territory.

First, it was the basic territory. Chen Qing did not rashly order the forces under his command to move the precious medicine plants on a large scale because his mind was preoccupied with the Feather Immortal Tree.

Therefore, Lin Guo's residence could only be used as a temporary palace.

If they could move the Feather Immortal Tree, it would be best to set up the headquarters in the Country of Lin.

The Lin Country was well-connected and located at an important transportation route.

Moreover, because the Lin Country had many spirit beasts, there were countless underground tunnels.

Back then, the reason why Lin Guo was able to rush to the Giant Tree Forest to intercept Chen Qing when he was unprepared was because of this complicated underground path.

Unfortunately, Chen Qing had no way to move a treasure like the Feather Immortal Tree for the time being. Therefore, he could only put it aside for the time being.

After Yan Shiying was completely destroyed, he would decide on the location of the headquarters.

Moreover, from Nan Li's point of view, Lin Guo was indeed not bad.

But in the long run, the Wu Kingdom was close to the Western Desert and the Great Liao, so it could coordinate with the Red Lotus and the Fuluo Kingdom.

In fact, in his power structure, the Wu Country was the real center.

Thinking about it this way, it was much more appropriate.

Chen Qing's army finally chose a mountain range that bordered the Lin Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom. Chen Qing walked through the nearby mountain ranges and finally chose the Langya Mountain as their temporary headquarters.

There were seven huge mountain ranges converging here, and it could also be used to open up a large scale of spirit fields.

As a large number of Qi Refinement cultivators from the Country of Lin were summoned here, a large-scale construction officially began.

What they were going to build wasn't just the spirit fields, but also the Guard Palace where Chen Qing lived.

There were enough houses and pavilions for a large number of cultivators to live in, as well as a city.

The State of Lin had a lot of cultivators to begin with. This time, they had gathered more than ten thousand cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm to help with the construction.

Chen Qing stood at the top of the mountain and watched as the tens of thousands of spirit beasts began to work under the control of the cultivators. He immediately felt that the surroundings were filled with the aura of life once more.

Recently, Xuan Ping has been busy spying on Yan Shiying and won't be able to see her for a while.

After eating breakfast, he ate two steamed buns and a piece of dried bacon. Then, he saw Su Yi leading an extremely handsome dragon horse over.

Chen Qing went forward and circled around the Dragon Horse. The Dragon Horse was nine feet tall and twelve feet long. It looked very mighty.

Its entire body was covered with crimson dragon scales, and its demonic aura was completely restrained. If one did not take a closer look, they would think that it was a strange spiritual beast.

Its four feet were still horse hooves and not dragon claws. Instead, they were covered with tiny hooks that allowed it to borrow strength from flat ground. At the same time, they were extremely sturdy and hard to wear.

Even if it was worn down, it was still a normal good horse. It was just that its explosive power was not that strong.

His red mane resembled a lion's mane. His entire head was covered in it. He resembled a Qilin, but he wasn't as majestic as a Qilin. Instead, he resembled a horse.

"How fast can he run?"

At this point, Su Yi was somewhat confident, "Zhang has passed the test. He can travel two thousand miles a day!"

For a moment, Chen Qing wondered if he had heard wrongly. "Two thousand miles a day?"

"It's even faster than a Foundation Establishment cultivator flying at full speed?"

Su Yi nodded, "And we can march day and night for seven days!"

"His strength is like that of a barbaric dragon, and his scales can block most spells. Qi Refinement cultivators can't break through his defense at all."

Chen Qing pressed his hand on the dragon-horse's chest and shouted, "Use all your strength!"

After testing it, he was slightly disappointed, "It's still an exaggeration to call it the strength of a barbaric dragon. It's only about the strength of seven elephants."

"Are there any spirit grade ones?"

Su Yi said, "According to Zhang Can, there are about twenty spirit grade Gu worms. He is bringing people to collect them with all his might."

Chen Qing was slightly satisfied, "At least we are useful."

Divine Weapon Treasure World did not disappoint him in the end.

"What about the Black Armor Gu?"

Su Yi said, "Yan Shiying's sister had once bewitched a group of cultivators to go and seize it. After some calculations, they took away about three hundred Black Armor Gu."

"The number we can get should be between seven hundred and eight hundred in the end."

"What about the dragon-horse Gu?"

"There are fewer dragon-horse Gu. It should be more troublesome to give birth, so it should be around this number."

Chen Qing said, "Alright, we will raise eight hundred cavalry with dragon-horse Gu and Black Armor Gu contracts."

"Let's call them the Dragon Stallion Army."

"Let them hunt for Foundation Establishment cultivators with high cultivation to use the dragon-horse Gu."

"Try to bring them into the Death Realm when the time comes."

Su Yi probed, "Isn't it too expensive? It is already an astronomical figure for us to raise so many Foundation Establishment cultivators, and we still have to raise eight hundred Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators."

Chen Qing said, "It doesn't matter if it is expensive, but if we lose, we lose everything."

"We have to bet everything we can to seize the authority of the Death Realm."

He did not think of using the demons under Red Lotus as mounts. The word 'mount' was very insulting in the cultivation world, and it might cause their relationship with Western Desert to worsen rapidly.

The demons raised by themselves were more reliable.

"My plan is ten years. Within ten years, we will raise eight hundred Dragon Stallion Army."

"Ten years later, with the eight hundred Dragon Stallion Army as the main force, we will fight for supremacy in the Death Realm!"

"When all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Nan Li gather here, we will release three hundred slots for the Dragon Stallion Army for other countries to fight for."

"Our headquarters and Lin Country will take two hundred slots, while Iron Country will take three hundred slots."

"It is impossible for Iron Country to benefit all of them."

"At that time, I will personally persuade Shi Xin Tie."

"By the way, there are many Foundation Establishment cultivators who have rushed here recently. You will be in charge of the book and assign tasks to them."

"When all the nine countries' Foundation Establishment cultivators are here, I will defeat Yan Shiying in one battle!"

"After that, we will set up eight generals to lead the eight countries' Foundation Establishment cultivators except Wu Country."

"We can't gather all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in one place. Our resources are definitely not enough. We have to fully explore the potential of Nan Li."

Chen Qing said, letting Su Yi do what he wanted.

The current situation was a little too big. Fortunately, there had been several wars.

And this time, there would definitely be people who would not accept the announcement.

After killing a batch, the resources would be enough.

There were only so many cultivation resources, but when many people died, there would naturally be more.

Chen Qing spread out the map. Now that the Dragon Horse Gu and the Black Armor Gu were in his hands, the most important thing to consider was the lifespan Gu.

Fortunately, the Divine Weapon Treasure World where the lifespan Gu appeared was in Yan Country.

In the territory under his control, things were much easier to deal with.

Now that his power had been established, even if Zhu Yan wanted to rebel, the Foundation Establishment cultivators under her wouldn't dare to obey her orders.

What Chen Qing was worried about now was the problem of spirit herbs and precious medicines. The gap was too big.

He could only hope to get some from other Divine Weapon Treasure Worlds to temporarily fill the gap.

Even with the growth of all living things, it could only support the cultivation of a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators.

And he couldn't afford to grow precious medicines on a large scale.

Precious medicines needed too long to grow.

Thankfully, their forces were still in their initial stages, and there were few cases of corruption.

Everyone understood that before they came out of the Death Realm, they would not be able to enjoy themselves.

They still needed to nurture production type cultivators on a large scale.

After arranging everything, Chen Qing walked into the room where the dragon-horse Gu were stored, and started inspecting them.

He was preparing to write a book about dragon-horse Gu, black armor Gu, meat Gu, iron skin Gu, strength Gu, bow Gu, spear Gu, sword Gu, and copper bone Gu.

The title of the book was

<

Common Gu Worms of Southern Li >.

Thus, he sent a large number of cultivators under him to collect the information needed to advance these Gu worms.

In fact, he did not need any information, he only needed to look at the Gu worms.

In the end, Chen Qing estimated that the final result would be roughly the same as the Omnipotent Tome.

This was already the limit of what he could do.

At the same time, during this period of leisure, he used all his strength to raise his vital Gu, as well as other Gu worms.

With his current status, these things were just a matter of a letter.

He only needed to wait for the transportation time.

As more and more foundation establishment cultivators came to join him, these matters became smoother.

A month passed slowly, Lang Ya City also started to take shape. Chen Qing sat in the city lord's manor, sitting in a pile of books day and night.

These were the information gathered by the people below him on Gu worms.

On this day, Chen Qing was pretending to read the books, but he was actually cultivating secretly. Su Yi quickly came to report: "Lord, Jiang Xingchuan requests an audience."

Chen Qing was puzzled: "Logically speaking, this person should have come to see me immediately if he has a request, why did he only come today?"

Su Yi said: "Lord, are you suspecting a trap?"

Chen Qing said indifferently: "With my current strength, few people in the world are my match. Let him in."

Soon, Chen Qing saw this young cultivator who spoke passionately at Ji Zhen mountain.

He sized up Jiang Xingchuan, and Jiang Xingchuan did the same.

This person was carrying a female coffin, it was quite peculiar.

However, there were many strange cultivators, so Chen Qing did not pay much attention to it.

Chen Qing stood up and cupped his fists: "Mister Jiang, I have not thanked you for the matter of Iron Country."

Jiang Xingchuan waved his hand: "It was just a small matter, I also have a request."

Chen Qing asked, "What is it?"

Jiang Xingchuan revealed a distressed expression, "This is a small matter to the Guard Lord."

"I've heard the words of evil spirits. Sir, you can remove the pain from evil spirits?"

Chen Qing answered, "That's right."

"I have a strange Gu worm, I obtained it by chance and discovered that it has this ability."

Jiang Xingchuan said, "I have a fiancée. Because she was tortured, she turned into a malicious spirit."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Your Excellency to save her from the abyss of suffering."

Chen Qing's expression changed slightly. It turned out that he was a romantic.

No wonder he was willing to help him.

"That's easy. You only need to ask, and Qing Xu will definitely agree!"

"However, Sir, you have to think carefully. Since she's your fiancée …"

"I'm afraid the pain after turning into a Specter has a lot to do with you, sir."

"If I remove the pain, I'm afraid I'll forget about you."

Jiang Xingchuan said, "It is precisely because of this that I have been hesitating."

Chen Qing said, "That's fine. Just let me know when you need it."

"Mister, please stay here. Everything will be provided with the salary of a general!"

Jiang Xingchuan said, "I was planning to leave after removing my fiancée's pain."

"But recently, I heard that Lord Wei is writing a book?"

Chen Qing took out the 《Strength Gu Chapter》 that he had written so far and handed it to Jiang Xingchuan. Jiang Xingchuan immediately flipped through it.

Strength Gu was the Gu worm that Nan Li had the most, almost as many as Da Wu's sword Gu.

It could be said to be the most important Gu worm in Nan Li.

Jiang Xingchuan was originally a scholar, so he was very interested in this aspect and had done some research on it.

His cultivation experience was quite strange. He was originally a mortal scholar who only wanted to pass the imperial examinations.

However, his fiancée died tragically and the government was tyrannical. Seeing that there was no hope for revenge, he started to cultivate.

The result was that things got out of hand. His cultivation talent was extraordinary, and his use of Gu worms had reached perfection.

In the end, he went from an ordinary scholar to the strongest foundation establishment cultivator of Iron Country.

Picking up this hastily written strength Gu theory, Jiang Xingchuan combined all the information he knew with the theories written in it. It was actually a strange combination.

"Amazing, amazing!"

"Lord Wei is truly a genius!"

"The theories written in the book are exactly the same as what I said I knew!"

"Lord Wei, the cultivators of Nan Li will definitely be grateful to you for writing this book!"

"In my opinion, this book's achievement is probably above the Divine Imprint!"

Chen Qing was also shocked. "How is this possible?"

The Divine Imprint was the culmination of a major sect over hundreds of years. How could a book he casually wrote surpass the Divine Imprint?

In truth, Chen Qing had fallen into a misunderstanding.

After Jiang Xingchuan's explanation, he finally understood. "Perhaps the promotion part is similar to the Divine Imprint, but the butterfly transformation part is better than the Divine Imprint!"

"Lord Wei's understanding of the butterfly transformation is truly unprecedented and will never be surpassed in the future!"

With Jiang Xingchuan's explanation, Chen Qing finally understood.

The promotion part was all about a single material. The information collected by the Divine Imprint over hundreds of years was about the same as what he deduced. It was normal.

However, the butterfly transformation part was different. The butterfly transformation part was the information gathered over hundreds of years. Most of it was wrong.

Ordinary cultivators were fed twenty to thirty types of materials before they could advance.

As for the specific materials, it was still unknown.

The reason why the Immortal Court took hundreds of years was because the errors in the butterfly transformation part were too great.

The Immortal Court deduced from a large number of errors and a small number of correct results.

However, Chen Qing was completely different. He knew the most accurate answer!

He could form a unique theory based on the materials needed to upgrade and the precise materials needed to transform into butterflies!

In other words, the Ascension portion of his calculation was similar to that of the Compendium of Gods.

However, in the butterfly transformation part, his theory was far superior to the Immortal Court's.

Jiang Xingchuan's eyes lit up. "I thought that Lord Wei only united Nan Li to fight for supremacy in the Death World.

"After reading it, I can only admit defeat. Even if I study for another thousand years, I won't be able to reach Lord Wei's level!

"It's clear that Lord Wei is doing all this for the good of Nan Li.

"If Lord Wei doesn't mind, I'm willing to write a book with Lord Wei and start a new era of prosperity for Nan Li!"

However, at this moment, Chen Qing felt a little numb.

This is bad. The butterfly transformation part is even more accurate than the Divine Imprint. What should I do?
