Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 176: The Opening of the Wen Meeting

A light rain fell, Lang Ya mountain range was shrouded in mist, creating a different scenery.

Yan Sisi sat in a small and exquisite carriage, the curtains were drawn and the windows were opened.

This was to make it easier for her to draw the map.

A map was spread out in front of her, she kept drawing the map she saw along the way.

There were people hurrying along, they were all here to participate in the Lang Ya Dao discussion.

The wen meeting attracted qi refinement realm cultivators, while the martial meeting attracted foundation establishment realm cultivators.

In the wen meeting, one could try out rank advancement materials for free, and also witness the birth of a wondrous book, it was very attractive to qi refinement realm cultivators.

And the martial meeting would be the selection of the strongest foundation establishment army of Nan Li, the dragon legion, all the foundation establishment realm cultivators would rush over.

They would get the black armor Gu and dragon horse Gu for free, these Gu worms were even more precious and powerful than meat Gu, they yearned for it.

It was equivalent to joining the dragon legion, they would get hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

The carriage arrived in front of Lang Ya city, she stretched out her hand and a servant girl helped her up.

Yan Sisi stood one li away from the city gate, looking at this newly built majestic city.

"Lin country is rich indeed, with Divine Weapon Treasure Realm's influence and scarlet iron silver trees everywhere, they can actually gather the materials to build a city."

"Back then, you should've been the one to conquer the Lin Kingdom first, not the Green Ruins.

In less than thirty breaths of time, Qing Ran rode over, "Are you Lady Yan Sisi?"

Yan Sisi looked at Qing Ran, "Yes."

Qing Ran cupped her fists, "Lady, please, madam has been waiting for a long time."

Qing Ran led the way, leading Yan Sisi's group to settle down in Lang Ya city.

Entering the back hall of Wei Palace, Yan Sisi saw Xuan Ping who had been waiting for a long time. At this moment, Xuan Ping's table was filled with information about the Xuan Guan army.

Xuan Ping did not hide it, "Sisi, you are here, sit."

"When I first wrote to you, I thought your brother would not let you come."

Yan Sisi bowed, "Sister is joking, forget about the martial meeting, the wen meeting is a big matter, as a citizen of Nan Li's God Miao, I have to come."

Xuan Ping said, "Sisi, wait for a while, I will talk to you after I settle these matters."

"Now that my territory is bigger, I can't be as comfortable as I used to be in my own home."

After that, Xuan Ping said to Qinran, "Qinran, take the cultivator Sisi brought to rest."

Sisi turned to Qingran and said, "Chief Qingran, you can talk to a Qi Refinement cultivator named Yang La."

After speaking, she stood up and walked to Xuan Ping's side. "I came to see what big sister is busy with."

She stood there for a moment and reached out to pick up the twelve reports about the Xuan Guan Army. "These are all fake. Elder sister, you don't have to care about them."

Xuan Ping looked at Yan Sisi, only to discover that Yan Sisi was only smiling.

Li Bingwei and the Xuan Guan Army. The two chief intelligence officers looked at each other.

Both of them understood that for the past two to three months, they would be each other's opponents.

Both sides had spies all over the borders of the Lin Country, the Fire Country and the Wu Country. Both sides had hundreds of people under their command and they had never stopped clashing with each other in secret.

Xuan Ping smiled as she picked up the twelve reports and threw them into the fire basin. "Since little sister Sisi said it herself, I have to believe it."

After burning the reports, Xuan Ping got up and got her subordinates to deal with the rest. She brought Yan Sisi and prepared to tour Lang Ya City.

Yang La, under Qingran's lead, entered the waterside pavilion beside the academy.

Yang La was twenty eight years old, male, qi refinement level nine, strength gu rank eight.

Sitting in the side hall of the academy with Qingran, Yang La asked, "I wonder what the procedure of this literary gathering is?"

Qingran said, "It's simple. First, you need to register. Because the materials are provided for free, the quota is a little tight."

"Recently, there were some Qi Refinement cultivators causing trouble, saying that Lord Wei is biased towards the cultivators of the Wu Country, the Fire Country and the Lin Country. Thus, Lord Wei ordered for each country to take a hundred people."

"You don't have to worry. The hundred quota for your Xuan Guan Army is fixed. You just need to fill in your name."

"The literary gathering will last for a month, from the beginning of the selection to the end of the results."

"After registering, we will wait for the gathering to start."

"After it starts, we will arrange for everyone to enter the academy and isolate them from the outside world."

"After that, the teachers of the academy will gather information about your gu worms."

"You only need to report the materials you need to upgrade your gu worms truthfully."

"After that, we will wait for the teachers to calculate the materials that are most likely to upgrade your gu worms."

"Finally, you will feed your gu worms according to the method that the teachers have calculated. The duration will be twelve days."

"At this time, the results should be out."

Yang La nodded and took a sip of tea. He asked, "Chief, I wonder if I have the chance to see the book 'Common Gu Worms in Nan Li: strength gu'?"

Qingran smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. As long as the results are satisfactory, each of you will be given a copy."

"At that time, all the cultivators who come to Lang Ya City will be given a copy!"

Hearing this, Yang La was shocked. "Everyone will be given a copy?"

Qingran smiled and said, "Of course. The strength gu is a specialty of Nan Li. Even if Da Li and the Western Desert take it, they don't have any gu worms to use."

"Therefore, Lord Wei has specially approved that this book can be passed down to the world."

After saying this, Qingran left and handed him over to the teachers of the academy.

Yang La finally felt Chen Qing's charisma at this moment. He understood what kind of hero was competing with his lord, Yan Shiying.

A divine book that could be passed down to the world.

A divine book that could be passed down to the world.

A divine book that could be passed down even in the Dao sects.

He was actually giving it away for free!

If Chen Qing really did this, all the cultivators in Nan Li who had strength gu would have to respectfully call him sir when they saw him.

At that time, it was easy to imagine how everyone would feel.

This would be the greatest blow to the Xuan Guan army. It would be a drastic measure that would completely shatter Yan Shiying's foundation of winning over people's hearts.

"It has only been two to three months. During this period, they still have to try it themselves."

"If that's the case, they only spent a month or so to write it down."

"They probably won't succeed."

After filling in the name list, he handed it over to the academy.

But three days later, Yang La received a message from the academy, asking them to go over.

Yang La brought the Xuan Guan army's qi refinement realm cultivators to participate. Just as they were about to set off, someone suddenly asked, "Lord, should we report fake information about the gu worms?"

Yang La heard this and said angrily, "This concerns the entire Nan Li. Lord Yan told me before I set off that this has nothing to do with the competition, this is the foundation of Nan Li's prosperity!"

"This matter cannot be faked!"

"Lord once said: Nan Li will not be lost for generations because of me!"

"This time, if I find out that someone is falsely reporting information about the gu worms, I will kill them!"

Leading the group, they arrived at the academy together with the qi refinement realm cultivators of other countries. At the center of the academy, God Miao's divine image was erected.

Jiang Xing Chuan ordered the teachers under him to arrange for these qi refinement realm cultivators to enter in an orderly manner.

Outside the academy, there was a sea of people. Large numbers of cultivators were looking at this scene with anticipation.

"To be able to write a book about Gu worms in such a short time, could it be fake?"

"No, Qing Ruins is a mighty overlord, the current Foundation Establishment Lord of Nanli. With his status, why would he do something like this?"

"Since he dares to say so, there must be a reason behind it."

Someone else said, "I heard that Lord Wei obtained an ancient secret scroll and combined it with the heavenly secrets in it, he was enlightened and comprehended the truth."

"He didn't even have time to care about the war at hand, and wrote it after a month of sleepless nights in his study!"

Someone heard this and said, "Looks like it's somewhat believable."

"Overall, I still hope that Lord Wei can succeed. If the Literary Meeting succeeds, those of us who came to participate can also get that book."

Amidst the commotion, those Qi Refinement realm cultivators who truly wanted to participate in the Literary Meeting finally began to enter.

A large number of Qi Refinement realm cultivators entered the Literary Meeting in an orderly manner and stood in the field.

After everyone was in position, Jiang Xingchuan held a yellow scroll and lit an incense burner in front of God Miao's statue.

He recited, "God Miao above, Jiang Xingchuan respectfully greets you!"

"Today, God Miao has blessed Qing Ruins and written the book 'Common Gu in Nanli: Strength Gu Chapter'. Now, under God Miao's gaze, we wish to personally verify this book!"

"Reporting to God Miao, may God Miao bless the earth!"

“.”

After reciting for a full fifteen minutes, Jiang Xingchuan finally finished reciting the scroll. At this moment, he was about to arrange for these Qi Refinement realm cultivators to pay their respects to God Miao when he heard a commotion outside.

He turned his head and saw a corner of the sky crack open. In the resplendent starry sky, a Daoist wearing a green Daoist robe stepped across the sky and landed on the city wall of Langya City.

"I am God Miao, a temple attendant under Longevity Mountain. I have come to observe the ceremony on behalf of the lord!"

As the Daoist landed on the city wall, the corner of the starry sky behind him slowly closed.

Chen Qing sat on the wall of Wei Palace. Originally, he and Xuan Ping were watching the Literary Meeting, but now he had to appear.

"Why is this person here?"

Xuan Ping said, "Does God Miao know what you wrote?"

Chen Qing shook his head, "No."

Xuan Ping said, "Then why did God Miao send someone to observe the ceremony?"

Chen Qing shook his head. "I'm not sure. I'll go and greet him personally."

When Chen Qing came out, a large number of people moved aside, allowing Chen Qing to go forward to welcome the temple attendant.

Arriving in front of the temple attendant, Chen Qing cupped his hands and said, "Welcome, temple attendant."

The temple attendant reached out and grabbed Chen Qing. He laughed heartily without saying a word.

In three steps, he entered the Wei Palace. The cultivators outside were puzzled.

"God Miao sent someone to observe the ceremony?"

"Could it be true?"

"Is that book really a divine book?"

After entering the palace, the temple attendant said, "This is not an order from God Miao. It is an order from the king of the South Sea."

"Let me come over to help you keep the situation under control so that no one can cause trouble."

Chen Qing suddenly recalled the mysterious Red Queen. "The Red Queen?"

The temple attendant gently nodded. "I only need to eat and drink well. You can arrange it for me."

"As for the rest, you can carry on as usual."

Chen Qing was a little puzzled. He asked, "Why is that person so good to me?"

The temple attendant said, "I'm not sure. She has been a king for too short a time. She was a new king a hundred years ago. Moreover, she is extremely reclusive. No one knows what she likes."

Chen Qing probed, "Can you tell me where this person is from?"

The temple attendant said, "The Goddess of Longevity Mountain from three hundred years ago. She is the wife of the Lord of Mortal World from three hundred years ago."

"You don't have to ask anything else."

At this point, Chen Qing finally understood what was going on.

This person should also be related to the Extreme Light Sect. She might even be an upper echelon of the Extreme Light Sect.

Chen Qing suddenly remembered that Nie Fei had said that the Extreme Light Sect was the most active place in Southern Li. There were upper echelons of the Extreme Light Sect in Southern Li.

Now, it seemed that it was this person.

She was quite high up. She was actually a king!

No wonder she helped me before. She should know my identity.

After a bumpy journey, he finally found a backer.

Although Chen Qing had speculated that there were many forces behind him, including the Extreme Light Sect, God Miao of Southern Li, and the void side.

However, he had only met this person before.

Just this point alone made Chen Qing have a good impression of her.

At the very least, she had clearly said that if he failed, she would seek refuge in the Southern Sea.

Chen Qing arranged for the temple attendant's accommodations and looked at the academy. All the Qi Refinement Realm cultivators had finished paying their respects to God Miao and were beginning to move into the academy.

Seeing that the academy was on the right track, Chen Qing set off and headed to the location of the martial gathering. He was prepared to participate in the opening of the martial gathering.

Due to the arrival of the temple attendant, all the cultivators changed their attitude and began to seriously observe the gathering.

The Scholarly Meeting this time was not a Dao Discussion hosted by a scum like the Nine Nether Goddess.

If the meeting was successful, it would affect the future of the Southern Li Empire.

There were more than twenty thousand cultivators who came.

A large number of cultivators poured into the newly built Langya City. However, the city did not seem crowded at all.

Although Qing Ran's strength was not much, she was not careless when it came to politics.

After the academy closed, it was time for the martial gathering to be held outside the city.

Outside Langya City, Qing Ran sent people to build a huge martial arts arena.

It could allow sixty people to compete on the same stage. There were a total of thirty arenas, and each arena was a hundred feet wide. Foundation Establishment Cultivators could fight to their heart's content.

There were many seats on both sides of the arenas for the cultivators who had bought tickets to watch the battles.

Now that the ground was filled with red iron, Qing Ran did not have to spend more money to build arenas for the Foundation Establishment Cultivators. She only needed to arrange for people to cut them out.

When Chen Qing and Qing Ran arrived outside the arena, they saw a large number of cultivators. They angrily ran to buy tickets while cursing.

"This Qing Ran is really a b * stard!"

"You actually need to buy tickets to watch a battle!"

The ticket seller said, "Have you seen so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the past?"

"Moreover, these Foundation Establishment Cultivators will fight with real swords and spears!"

Chen Qing glanced at Qing Ran. She did not react at all. It was as if those people were scolding someone else.

"How many Spirit Stones can we earn?"

Qing Ran said, "I don't charge you to enter the city. However, the entrance fee and the food and lodging will cost a few hundred Spirit Stones per person.

"Since ordinary cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm don't have the opportunity to watch so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the tickets are selling very well.

"Ten million spirit stones won't be a problem after this trip!"

When Chen Qing heard this, he suddenly felt that Qing Ran was a capable person. He was very good, and Chen Qing liked him very much.
